It's weird that people that make benchmarks don't investigate which flags to pass for getting the most optimized build. Many compilers don't do max optimization by default. In particular, people making benchmarks with rust code seem to tend to forget or be unaware of the `release` flag.
In my opinion, the best.

Anyone who has access to the DVD/ Blu Ray should also check out the commentary track with John Carpenter and Kurt Russel. It is great.

> But for fields like math and computer science, all you need is a computer and free time.

As someone who has been on both sides, it can be hard to impossible to research mathematics without access to a university library and credentials. Math books are prohibitively expensive and go out of print swiftly. Articles are behind paywalls. Few research mathematicians in my experience respond to requests for preprints or clarification from non-academic e-mails.
Has an amazing ending, also.
The cancer argument California politicians follow is based on non-scientific or non-conclusive research. The legislation that dictates this is Proposition 65 and its considered a public policy failure. Its the anti-vax and holistic crowds dictating policy.

It also has the secondary effect of making REAL cancer warnings seem trivial. "Oh cigarettes are bad? So are electric cords and pepsi according to California!"

I honestly don't know of any google apps that have hosed enterprise customers. Can you point me at some articles or something?
Yeah, this is happening again and again in Rust: people publish Rust benchmarks without optimization on. In fact, we just decided this week to change "Compiling" to "Compiling (Debug)" in Cargo if optimization isn't turned on to address this problem. It's sad :(
Yes, if the company is early stage, then nothing should be out of the question.

Email is just about the least-secure authentication path I can think of. Knowing what we know now, it shouldn't even be used for "forgot password," really. SMS, a phone call, heck even a Facebook message would be more secure.

I think people tend to just gravitate toward doing the best things they can, as limited by time, cost, taste, and social access. It's the same reason sleep away camps on the east coast were/are disproportionately jewish -- you're drawing from the subset of parents with enough money to send their kids, but who aren't allowed to play golf or whatever, and share the same set of post-holocaust gemeinschaft ideals.
Also, I guess western governments have Huawei bent over even more of a barrel than say google. Huawei devices are used extensively in infrastructure. Most governments (known to include the UK and India) insist on huawei funding government labs to inspect the devices for backdoors. I guess if you already have secret inspection deals with creepy government security types, they might ask you to add a backdoor of their own as part of the certification process.
You can disable that if you root your phone or install a custom ROM. Just saying.
Oh man, Pub/Sub, there's a term I haven't heard in a few years. It was a pretty big thing in XMPP [1] not so long ago (standardized only 2010?), and I remember people being disappointed that the HTTP-based and Google-driven PubSubHubbub [2] was gaining popularity faster. In retrospect, this was a sign of XMPP's loss of steam as a general web protocol :(

Google Cloud Pub/Sub is HTTP(S), so I guess it's based on PubSubHubbub?

> So the author ought to explain to us why he thinks such increases would suddenly stop

Because they have already stopped. The price of bitcoin has only dropped for the last year. You should give a reason why the drop should stop and it would start to rise again.

> The author completely ignores the economic incentive of transactions within the Bitcoin economy itself. When I give 1 BTC to my father, he can spend 1 BTC on Dell.com. No fiat conversion takes place.

Dell does not accept bitcoin. Dell accepts dollars from bitpay. The expense is paid by bitpay having a worse exchange rate than the normal bitcoin exchanges.

So yeah there is fiat transfer happening.

Out of curiosity do you know any single big retailer that actually accepts bitcoin in the sense that they are not being actually paid in fiat?

> Yet 100,000 merchants are using Bitcoin...

Merchants might use bitcoin. But customers unfortunately are not. Wordpress just stopped accepting bitcoin because they got only 2 purchases per week using it. Data from overstock suggests that it's far more common phenomenon.

Thanks to bitpay there is not really any reason for merchants not to accept it though. They get paid in fiat and they don't get any expenses from accepting it.

I have been circling around this contextual idea for several years now and in fact this is just a small part of what I ultimately want to build.

It sounds simple but it's much harder than one would expect. I hired several developers most couldn't get it done and I had even talked to several developers about doing it as a split deal.

Its one thing to build an app that does what the framework is build for, but we are doing stuff that are kind breaking some fairly new grounds. On top of that having to deal with MASS and the Sandbox was a frustrating experience.

I do know how to program just not well enough to even remotely begin to solve some of the things you have to solve to make this work.

My best advice is make sure you have a pretty well polished idea, final (kind a) design and an interesting problem.

I managed to build this because we basically focused on the major challenge for Jimmy and not a lot of nice-to have stuff but ultimately not important to begin with.

Time learning programming is never wasted but it's just a different level we are talking about for this app.
> Why do others prefer not to do it this way

Mostly because they don't have experience with option plans, and lawyers tend to recommend what's best for the company (not what's best for the employees).

I granted my early employee founder's stock (same as mine), mainly because I was screwed by stock options in the past. But I had to actively request this from our lawyer (the default is for lawyers to suggest stock options).
In a perfect world, this would be as positive as you make it sound. However, short sellers as a group are a particularly vicious breed of cutthroat trader looking to inflict as much damage to their chosen stocks as possible as quickly as possible. Many of their targets aren't nearly as deserving of these attacks as Lumber Liquidators was here.
OK, so I read it and I still don't know how it "nearly sabotaged John Carpenter's career"!

I agree. Not sure why the title was edited. This was my post. It was my intention to get conversation going around why Google feels it is low priority for a phone to be able to fulfill its primary function effectively.
Btw we are working class too, even with those fancy 6 figure salaries...

At least I'm not living of off strutting around in my park telling my gardener what to do while stroking a white cat. I don't have employees in my factory solely working for me generating my income while I twiddle my thumbs. I'm actually sitting on a computer working for money every day, so: working class.
Could some non-programmers be masquerading as programmers? A little more observation and less R could reveal this. It is also quite possible to play flag football without risking your brain. If I were in SF and weighed 150 I would definitely look into sailing.
This advice should be directed to entrepreneurs.

As a founder, it's good to know what terms are "standard" and what terms are more pro-employee or more pro-management. Then you can use that information when setting up the option plan with your lawyer, and push back if you feel the lawyer is overzealous in protecting your own interest.

Once the plan is in place, it's unfortunately too late for the employee to seek more favorable terms.
When you bring in the police, you don't know what will happen.

I've had someone call the cops on me because my son had a meltdown. I'm white so I just had a nice conversation with the cop, and I didn't get shot. But there are certainly people for whom even a random encounter with the cops has a good chance of turning out very badly.
This is why I love New York. There are so many industries here (media, fashion, finance, etc) that tech is just part of a larger pool of people (who often cross over between different industries).

Speech Recognition Better Than a Human's Exists. You Just Can't Use It Yet
It's quite likely that many of his choices regarding non-programming hobbies have been highly influenced by programmers/tech people around him in the workplace or outside it.

He also likely has developed biases, not on socioeconomic grounds but through his own experiences and influences, regarding certain things in society. Football, for example, he probably consciously or subconsciously regards as being something for "jocks" or the people he didn't get along with in school (presumption here).

Ultimate frisbee, however, is probably something he regards as being in-line with that with which those that influence him partake in, or that which he imagines his peers (mainly techies) would approve of.

It's an ok article from the point of it being a look at someone's personal experience, but it's certainly more reflective of his experience and the bubble he lives in than a commentary on society.

The monsters themselves are fantastic. CG in movies still have a long way to go to catch up to how real the monsters felt in The Thing.

And yet the monster scenes don't overshadow the human drama, the continuous buildup, the claustrophobia you feel from there being no escape.

The Thing is such a great movie, and definitely my favourite horror movie.
What in the world does the start up message mean? I bought the app and when I opened it, I got a message about needing to open some folder. Was I supposed to go find that folder on disk and open it, or just click "Ok!"?

I've never lived in SF but this is a reason why people sometimes mention how they prefer to live elsewhere. I've lived in Los Angeles and New York and I feel a nice sense of diversity in interests and backgrounds [of all forms] and I like it. And the tech communities aren't too small either.
"Open" to me leads me to think it is open source, but it isn't. I suppose common folk may not have that presumption. But I don't even think "Open" is descriptive to what your product does (other than maybe how it is quick to open). Loop is fine, as it express to me how you can be "in the loop". If you are getting rid of the Z or thinking of other names, I suggest using parts of another commentor's suggested tagline: "chat is your to-do list, and your to-list is your chat" for the name: e.g. "ChatToDo", "TagToDo", "LoopToDo", "TagChatDo", or even simply "InTheLoop" is better. Something along those lines that is more direct, specific, & descriptive than OpenLoopz, so that an uninitiated potential consumer has a bit of an idea about what it is your app does before even considering to click your link.

Announcing go-lua
I tried searching, but couldn't find a definitive answer: are resource forks still a problem when transferring files to non-os X systems? If I understood what I found correctly, dropbox handles resource forks (presumably just copying hidden _-metadata-files when using the app for os x) -- and apparently smb/cifs support resource forks (but I don't know how eg samba3/4 would store them on an ext4/zfs-backed file system).

It's one of those great little features that really lose out to the least-common-denominator effect... I'd kinda hoped that Apple just found a way to push/force apps to use fileformats that included metadata (but that would of course create other problems, like no more plain text files)...

Does anyone know of an up-to-date article that details the current state of resource forks and cross-platform issues (or lack thereof)?
The use of the description "manual laborers or shift workers" leads me to believe this is a lot more about the upper middle class to wealthy under 35 group ending up in tech related occupations than anything else. Time to go grab a data set and R-Studio.
In the US, we distinguish between the "working class" and the "professional class", with programmers falling into the latter group.

Yes, early Mac development was done on Lisas. I think the later more capable Macs were similarly priced.

What I meant when I brought up the PPC 604 is that by the mid-90s cost of hardware was no longer a big issue in providing users with powerful computing environments. But it's clear that power isn't really what sells. Not even to developers, if you look at some of the more brain-dead environments and languages out there.
I think you need to ask why we have colleges. Colleges act as both an educator and as a filter. If you look at the people taking MOOCs, most already have a degree and are not looking for a piece of paper. I think that online schools can take on the education role of a college, but not the filter role as they allow anyone to take their classes.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our tech team will look into this.

You are not doing anything wrong. You do not have a misunderstanding of how these things work.

You should not go work for a company that will not tell you the total number of outstanding shares (so you can calculate your % ownership). It's basically the same thing as saying that they're going to pay you 100,000 a year but not bothering to mention the currency.
That would be fantastic. I've recently signed a complicated contract (which I read, but which I don't fully understand, and it's in an area I know is rife with hidden gotchas), and while my employer gave me a very explicit and unambiguous explanation of how wonderful it is for me (and yes, I recorded the call), I would love the confidence of knowing the law would defend me if he was lying.

No. You're conflating the trust-less nature of bitcoin with the idea that individuals who possess Bitcoin are trustful.

The very nature of Bitcoin lies on the assertion that no individual is trustful, and that a trustful network can arise in which no individual node is trusted.

The blockchain allows us to verify that a particular operation has occurred. For example, the blockchain will verify that a particular address owns 1 BTC, or that 1 BTC has transferred from one address to another. It provides reliable, verifiable unit of account without relying on any one actor to be trustful.

The blockchain absolutely does NOT verify that a person won't lie to you to get your money, or that they won't blow it all in casino once you send it to them. That would be an unbelievable miracle, as it would require knowledge of the future.

No rational person has ever claimed the blockchain will prevent scamming. Quite the opposite in fact.
Founders stock works well for early employees.

Since valuations of pre-series A companies is effectively $0, the cost for employees to buy their shares upfront is minimal (literally a few dollars for a few percent).

But as a company raises capital, it's legally required to have a "409a valuation", which establishes the "fair market value" of the stock. Once this happens, it can cost $x,xxx's of dollars for employees if they're given founders stock (restricted stock) upfront, compared to stock options that have no upfront cost.

One solution to this is to give employees a signing bonus to buy the restricted stock upfront, so it cancels out the amount they owe upfront. Alternatively, you could grant stock options, and sign something that says the company will give them a bonus equal to the exercise price of the options.
They might try to manipulate the paret by throwing a fit. But that's still a parenting fail: the parents have failed to teach the child that such tactics do not work, and so the child does it because it works.

Dumb study, IMO. Often the value of refactoring is to promote re-use of the code (generally by adding flexibility), but that comes at the cost of some additional complexity. I don't see that any of their metrics measure that. But I guess the lesson of the paper is, don't refactor for the sake of refactoring, which should be obvious.

5V is dead, and has been for years. Even 3.3V is dying.

These are among the lowest power chips in the world, regular bleeding edge stuff.

Higher voltage means higher power, so there is a race to get as low as possible.

Internally, the D21 core runs at 1.2V. (There's an internal regulator that needs at least 1.62V coming in.)

But anything above that is just a waste of energy (besides the fact that the highest clock speeds need 2.7V minimum for 0 or 1 wait states).

They allow it, for compatibility, but you can see why even 3.3V is dying.

The shields will be happily redesigned.
Apple should buy you.

This is the kind of new feature that I want out of an OS update. It's incredibly useful, but requires deep system integration to work perfectly. Unfortunately, without access to private APIs, I imagine you're going to hit a wall sooner than later. For example, right now, moving a file breaks its relationship with a note, and an open file's notes aren't associated with the file's finder icon. I imagine those are both going to be tricky problems to solve.

With that said, congrats on an incredible idea, and a great early implementation. I hope it grows into something big.
I've wanted to hear things like podcasts on the private speaker before--would be nice if they exposed that as part of this fix.

Nexus phones have had bad bugs at launch since day one.
