Hmm, that's a shame.

Your friend has lost the plot as you suggest, or at least he didn't have the mental framework at the time in order to process what he was shown, there's still potential for that to change in the future.

If your friend acts up again, ask him what he learned from his ayahuasca experience. Give him time to tell you his answer. There is something he's almost bound to have either missed or misunderstood. I like the way Oliver Sacks puts it... “Every act of perception, is to some degree an act of creation, and every act of memory is to some degree an act of imagination.”

Enlightenment is realising your own part in the world you know, that the two are inseparable. By seeking truth you create a falsehood. You cannot obtain enlightenment by looking for it. The truth we can experience is shaped by the observer, our knowledge is born from our senses. The purpose of introspection is not to pinpoint 'the one truth' but instead understand truth from a broader perspective.

Perhaps that'll help, perhaps not, it's up to your friend to be receptive, and it's not something to worry yourself about anyway, but even so, best of luck.

While I mostly agree, ayahuasca is particularly good at helping you (sometimes forcing you) to work through stress and trauma, and helping you fix things. It allows you to observe your memories (in vivid detail) as a third party and guides you through them. There are many accounts of rape survivors, veterans, and other PTSD sufferers finally being able to let go after taking ayahuasca.

That's not a performance optimization, you're supposed to implement "shouldComponentUpdate" on React components. Not sure what you mean by "spending time fighting the framework" either, it's one line of logic.

In case you missed the point of the article: it's not that you have to implement that method, but that you've to be careful implementing it because JS has mutable objects by default.

Also, when he's talking about "render" it's not a simple rasterization, it's actually manipulating the document tree and triggering a layout engine. Apples and oranges. If he wanted speed he could render his graphics on a canvas, then your 1985 comparison would make sense.

Let's educate ourselves about the subject before venting?
A lot of these reflashable ROM exploits can be prevented with the simple addition of a physical switch or jumper that controls the write signal. With the writes physically disabled, no exploit would survive rebooting the system.

Device makers can add such switches as a simple way to advertise being secure. I'd pay a few dollars extra for such, for example, hard disk drives that cannot have their firmware altered, and car computers that cannot be altered, etc.
I seldom post lengthy comments on HN, and when doing so I tend to include qualifiers such as, "I know that the Bay Area is overrepresented among HN readers, and the preceding opinion is based on a perspective from elsewhere." ... "I know that 20-somethings are overrepresented among HN readers, and the preceding opinion is based on an older perspective." Etc.

Invariably, one of the top replies boils down to, "Hey! I'm a 20-something in the valley, and I see it completely different!".

Well, yeah.
I like your pricing model much more--I don't like how Cloudinary charges me for storage, because I don't want them to store the images, just transform them.

What I would need to move over to yours are the following features:

* Picture gravity via face detection
* Way to ensure no one else maliciously uses my account (e.g., domain whitelisting/CORS, only pulling from my S3 bucket, something like that)
* Renaming the output file image on the fly

Obviously, I'm only one customer, so don't do anything based on just me! But if it's at all helpful, these are one potential user's needs :)

Obviously the 029 keypunch overlaps the lifetime of the 1401 since they are both still working :-)

But seriously, the 029 was introduced in 1964 along with the IBM 360 mainframe, while the 1401 wasn't withdrawn until 1971, and some were used long after that, so they had plenty of overlap.

You're right that the 1403 printer is pretty cool. One interesting thing is it has a hydraulic pump running the paper feed, so it can skip lines very rapidly.

WP is actually a great platform and I wish I could use it. My two main complaints are: terrible app store due to MS emphasizing quantity, and lack of high-battery models. I require at least 30 hours battery, which Android models have no trouble handling (Mate2 (I get 30-40+ he's), or Blu Energy (haven't run it down in 72hrs).

If MS offers a virtualization platform to run Android apps, even at low perf, that'd probably be a turning point for them.

I think the reason Microsoft are allowing OEMs to enforce Secure Boot is because Dell, HP et al are going to sell Windows 10 PCs that only run trusted code. [1]

That includes any app from the Windows Store as well as desktop apps that have been submitted for approval through Microsoft. Enterprises with internal line of business apps can get their own key generator, which will allow those apps to run on their network but won't work outside the network.

This is the wrong mentality, or is phrased poorly.

What you want is to become a better problem solver - solving problems better means you can then waste less time with stray thoughts and spend minimal time coding unnecessarily. For this, I highly recommend trying some elementary math proof-based texts in number theory, abstract algebra, or real analysis. With math, you learn how to structure your thoughts in a coherent fashion, then logically rule out deadend/inefficient lines of approach. Speaking personally, it has helped me immensely at figuring out the true source of bugs, and creating the optimal fix for them at an impressive speed - most of this work is without writing a single line of code.

When it comes to actually writing code, I have found it to just be an exercise in repetition. As you write more code, you become more familiar with what you can do, and with the right critical thinking skills, you can then become much faster.

I agree they can't, but you can exercise for a very long time.. Not only that, but after you're done it's rather difficult to study because you are so exhausted mentally.

I don't know much about football but I used to compete in badminton and played with many professional players. Most people playing internationally train 6 days a week, 3 times a day. Even when I was only training twice a day, after I was done I would not be able to do anything because of the fatigue, I'd probably just eat and sleep.

I feel much the same way about working nowadays; even though I do have some spare time where I'm not working, the time is less productive than if I were in school where I would be doing nothing but studying. I certainly still learn new things, but it takes me much longer because my mental state is not fresh.

I wonder if this would be alleviated by studying before work instead of after, though, which is something I'm experimenting with. The only issue is that I already have trouble waking up for work, and yet somehow am unable to sleep early despite being so tired.

A somewhat related idea has been used by institutional players for quite some time now - there are companies specializing in bilateral counterparty risk netting, e.g. http://www.trioptima.com/

The basic idea is identify and simplify multi-lateral transactions for multiple market participants participating in such an agreement, with the ultimate goal of reducing counterparty risk.

In example above, although amount owed nets out to zero in theory, paying back such a loan would require A,B, and C to either have extra $100 cash to begin the payback process or mutually agree to cancel each other's debt (notice that this will NOT magically make an extra $100 appear out of thin air).

Furthermore, credit risk needs to be priced into the transaction - i.e. how certain you are that the borrower will actually ever pay you back.

I think ARM performance is still way off from the i5/i7 x86_64 you get at the higher-end macs, and rosetta-style x86_64 emulation on arm is probably even further off. Lack of virtualbox/vmware support is also a bit of a showstopper, at least for cross-browser testing and web development.

My guess is that ARM based high-end macs are at least 3-5 years away from today.

> When you’re making a joke prototype game where the main character is a goat ...

Kind-of tangential, but speaking of goat-themed video games... around the same time Goat Simulator was released, there was another video game released called Escape Goat 2[1]. I've played it and it happens to be a wonderfully-crafted, well-executed puzzle platformer. At the time it came out, I remember thinking it was unfortunate that a 'joke' game (Goat Simulator) got a lot of attention, while there many more heart-felt indie efforts out there that struggle for similar exposure. But I suppose that's just how it goes.

While I agree, unfortunately life is very much like a competition. If there's a job opening many people may apply but likely only one person will get it. Or if a team has a limited amount to use for bonuses, some will get more than others. Or if you're in love, that other person may choose or another person to be their partner.

Whether we like it or not, we are constantly being compared, and there is indeed a winner or loser. I'd argue that we shouldn't try to trick ourselves into thinking that there are no winners or losers, but to accept that it is totally okay, and even good, to lose.
If you are outside any big tech hub, most jobs and candidates will be filled by recruiters or normal job posts. I've been developing professionally for about 15 years, changed jobs a lot of times, and never was through a referral/network. Most of the people I know are the same. And yes, also having done interviews and sorted through thousands of resumes, there is so much out of touch folks out there that I wouldn't hire anyone nowadays without at least 1-2 small tests to validate their knowledge.

As interesting as this is, I don't know how much of this is applicable to anyone else. Goat Simulator was a fluke which gained popularity just by the idea being funny on its own. The game itself really didn't matter. It was supposed to be bad. For 99% of products, game or not, that's not going to fly.

Hacker news is a hard place to get traction these days... I remember shortly after the launch of Hacker News, I had several stories get to the number one slot on the front page like it was no thing... now that would be unfathomable...

> but it looks like a user can only be interested in one thing.

So it's a thing in crypto do "decompose" a user into multiple accounts in order to protect privacy (see "coin control" etc) Ideally, a social network should work the same way... If you have multiple interests, the system should treat those as totally separate identities. Then it would be YOUR CHOICE whether or not to tie them together in some way.

> Are you supposed to create a new user for every interest?

Basically!

It was a very popular feature of the print version of GameDeveloper which were post mortems of games after they were finally shipping. They all follow the same basic formula, what worked, what didn't, what we learned.

The way it works on the memory is totally phenomenal. I liken it to clicking through folders on your computer; you jump in, explore in great detail a space that seems so familiar, then go deeper into other folders. When you're done you jump out and can't quite remember exactly what you saw, but the experience stays with you as though the work you needed to do had been done. In my minds eye I even had a crazy software-like environment playing out as I explored. Its so so wild.
