Apple you should not restrict this.
Two problems with that approach: 1) rockets are too unreliable, and 2) depending on how nuclear-energy technology develops, someday we might want that fuel back. There is still a lot of energy in "spent" fuel.
One thing to keep in mind is how primitive microprocessors like the 6502 were. The IBM 704 (introduced in 1954) had floating point in hardware (i.e. lots of vacuum tubes). The 6502, more than 20 years later, didn't have any math beyond 8-bit integer adds, subtracts, and shifts. Even integer multiplication required software. The 6502 floating point routines are an accomplishment, but implementing floating point circuitry with vacuum tubes is also pretty impressive.

How about a major speedup? Even a 10% speed up would be a big motivation!

You don't need fancy JIT, just less costy function calls and modern interpreter optimizations.

Both the AppleWatch and the Pebble (with an extra app) do that already.
Aaron Franklin just got the James Beard stamp of approval, winning Best Chef: Southwest for 2015. I expect there'll be Franklin-Style BBQ "Just Like Austin" places opening up around the country as a result.

Yeah, this article is written as if the hard part of creating Spotify was figuring out that people wanted cheap streaming music (obvious), and then building it (difficult, but many groups could replicate it). I suspect that it was much harder to obtain the licenses, and that's the story I actually want to hear.
There is a $150 version as well:

Having used a Pebble before and now an Apple Watch I can understand why the author feels this way looking through the lens of a former Pebble user.

However the best things about the Apple Watch are not the notifications but the few killer communication features that no other smart watch had/executed this well before.

Just A few examples:

20 minutes ago my wife got a phone call from her mom and her phone was in the other room, instead of running to answer it she just answered it from the watch and continued doing what she was doing while she talked.

When I'm away from my desk at work or my wife is not near her phone, we can just send a gentle tap to let each other know we need their attention.

My wife will often ask me questions that only require a yes/no answer and the watch makes it super easy to answer.

I'm not sure the Apple Watch would be so useful for a single person but for couples, communication is the killer app.

No arguments here. Lots of countries, the US included, have historically utilized protectionist polices that benefit local industries at the expense of higher prices for local citizens and undeserved profits for local industry. My point, besides the fact that I'm personally in favor of free trade, is that the TPP in reality has little to do with free trade. From an analysis by Dean Baker:

"The actual trade barriers between the United States and the countries in these deals, with few exceptions, are already quite low. This means that there is little to be gained by lowering them still further."

The biggest gotchas with whole numbers in JS (IEE754 64-bit floats) is that in JS all bitwise operations are performed on a 32-bit integer under the hood... in practice this means you can do a bitwise operation on anything and it will be coerced into a 32-bit integer, either first via the parseInt(X,10) path, or becomes an empty 0 value.

It really isn't unique to JS, and there are several bignum libraries that can/will help.

I haven't had a problem with my watch (Apple) not being visible in bright light and the screen turns on as soon as I lift my wrist to view it. Hasn't been an issue for me. It is also waterproof (see youtube videos submerging it underwater - I believe it is IPX7 (1 meter for up to 30 minutes)). And I haven't found the battery life to be a problem - at the end of most days I have 40-50% battery left, but I take my watches off at night anyway, so charging is a non-issue.
The OP's problem is not with the watch. "But 9 times out of 10, I still had to pull my phone out of my pocket to respond" He's responding to 9 out of 10 notifications? Craziness. I respond to much less than 1 out of 10 emails. Those other 9 times I've been interrupted for only a couple of hundred milliseconds which is short enough that my flow hasn't been disturbed. That's the killer feature of a smart watch IMO.
Yes, but there's a compromise and a compromise, say there is a bug in Chrome that allows some one to exploit it in order to dump all of the auto-complete history including your CC but nothing else.
Not everything results in a persistent exploitation of a system.

And even in such cases when the exploitation is persistent it's still a question of how much can they get and in what time window since you might detect it and remediate the situation.

I've seen some sneaky tactics that some sites used to get details from auto complete functions of browsers, yes chrome asks you if you want to submit that data, and asks you specifically for your CC but if you mask some fields such as address and phone number (Chrome detects if it's hidden, and to some extent when its not visible due to other factors so it needs to be just cleverly disguised in rendering) when some one just auto-fills say their email and username it might also leak personal information, and if people are not too careful also they're payment data (which i believe Chrome only auto-fills on sites you visited before, and on secure connections).

I personally only have to input my CC details online every couple of months since i use PayPal or Amazon Checkout for about 90-95% of my purchases, so i rather not have my CC data stored on my machine if i can avoid it. Yes if it's compromised they can eventually get it, but it's still better than it being stored in a place where every malware on the planet knows to look for it.
>>Your bigotry has made you say that you would prefer dishonest liars to people who are honest but with a mental illness.

>>Don't you see how utterly fucked that attitude is? It's disgusting and you should feel ashamed.

You've made this far more personal than it should or has to be. You've completely misunderstood my meaning and chosen to become very offended at something I did not actually say. Given that, there is no reason to lash out at me when I am simply trying to help him. If you disagree, just say that.

Now, I'm not a bigot. I genuinely care about his predicament. I've known many people personally who suffer from mental illnesses of varying types.

What I was explaining is a hypothetical scenario where someone discriminates subconsciously, not consciously. They see a person's candidacy for a job and their first association is with mental illness, not competency. This is a terrible first impression. My point is that the world is filled with what I call "grey-area" discrimination. It's people who are otherwise kind and caring but not self-aware enough to stop themselves from discriminating when a subconscious impulse arises in the face of something they don't want to deal with.

Now, elsewhere in this thread Michael explained that it is more important for him to take a stand than to have a job. That's fine! I fully support him. As long as he understands the impression he is making in interviews and job applications, I applaud him for being so committed to social change. My purpose was only to help him understand that what he is doing is tactlessly honest, if one wants to apply for a job. It appeared to me from his parent comment that his primary goal was getting a job, not taking a social stance, so I wanted to give frank advice.

We all embellish who are to inspire confidence in others. On a date you will talk yourself up. On a job interview you will talk yourself up. Relaying a story to your friends, you will talk yourself up. Michael is doing the extreme opposite of that, and I wanted him to be aware of it because it was not the first time I had seen him complaining. But I fully understand his decision, in light of his explanation.

I use this feature with my wife at least once a day. It's a great way to quickly remind someone you're thinking of them in a special way.
One thing that they don't talk about at all is meat quality. Whom you buy your brisket from can be much more important than optimizing every detail of the smoking process.
Maybe - OTOH I figure a lot of people would like a low-friction way to encrypt so that if they were investigated by police or something their whole inbox wouldn't be open to anyone for the cost of getting a subpoena. Anyway, I do think it'd be good to engineer for encryption rather than trying to bolt it on afterwards as we do now. Sorry if my whimsical question was a derailment.
I don't disagree, I come from a maths background so it's a bit weird too; however, I'm yet to see a decent alternative and it's rather entrenched now. It's not a good descriptor however: using the word with non-tech product owners makes their eyes glaze over, so I'd love something better but am yet to come across it.
Find something you want to build and build it. Mobile App idea? Website Idea, anything really? The more passionate you are about it the better it will be.

If you can't think of anything then maybe try a code camp over the summer. They cost money but they will definitely teach you how to write code at a company vs open source and they might even be able to hook you up with a nice internship once it is over.

If you can't afford that then you could try getting an internship by going to coding meetups and when people say they are hiring people go ask them if they are will to bring on an intern. Tell them you learn fast.

You could also use one of your parents to sign up on those sites. If you wanted you could even just build a site for yourself and marketed it a little at local meetups. In the end it is up to you to make the effort.

On all the talk about if you should go to formal school or not that is up to you. It isn't needed but just know you will have to learn a bunch about software design and different libraries on the job. Formal schooling will teach you theories and code camps will teach you one way with current processes. So if you enjoy theories and building compilers than formal schooling might be perfect for you. If you just want to build cool stuff and are will to learn as you go then skip the $100,000 price tag and learn as you go.

Just know whatever you learn at code camp, in school, or even your first job or internship is not the only way. Programming for a living is learning every day. There are many correct ways to build a system and Ruby, Python, C#, Javascript whatever you learn first isn't the only way. Find what you enjoy and do more of that.
I do not think so. These services are very local. So it could be that A is strong in NYC and B in SFO.

Ask HN: Why are Silicon Valley interviews such a drag now?
2 people I know and I are in the process of looking for new jobs.

My first friend is almost 20 years my junior, but a fantastic coder. He is someone that every company would want. He's smart, curious, has initiative, and has a lot of wisdom behind the way he codes despite his youth. He's fluent in Java, Scala, Python and has built everything from simple web services to entire parsing engines and he does it because he's genuinely interested in the work he does.

My other friend is 10 years my junior, but also great. He's an official Apache committer, and has worked on some really great projects for some well-known companies. He also has worked on a lot of side projects that got picked up by his employers in various forms and he works his butt off every day.

My two friends are people that any company would be lucky to have. But all three of us are very reluctant to start interviewing because we all know how much interviewing really really SUCKS. Basically we are forced to write whiteboard code for 4-5 hours on topics that we may or may not know. If we don't know it, we're fucked and we might as well give up because everyone appears to want perfection. But the range of questions we can be asked on an interview is so wide, you can't expect someone to know EVERYTHING.

It seems to me that interviewing in Silicon Valley is really broken if my friends are reluctant to start interviewing, despite how great they are and how much of an asset they would be to ANY company.

Is there a site besides glassdoor that details or rates a company's interview process? It would be sad if we all end up choosing companies based on their interview process, but it's a lot better than wasting our time and PTO days going for interviews and then getting blown out of the water because one interviewer wants us to code a particular dynamic programming question the way they are picturing in their head.

> the screen turns on as soon as I lift my wrist to view it.

I am lazy. Don't want to think of that when my arm is on the chair armrest.

> It is also waterproof

I swim. And want a leaps counter on the watch.

> I take my watches off at night anyway

I sleep with mine, to use it as an alarm clock that doesn't wake my wife.
> CS/math fundamentals are golden

I agree with this. Before going to university I thought I was an ace programmer.

After just a single semester I could look back and see just how sloppy and awful my pre-university programming was.

I'm very thankful to my university degree for teaching me rigour and core CS fundamentals. Yes, you can learn them elsewhere, but like my parent post says, it's much harder and sometimes you might not even know where to start.
I spent the first 25 years of my life in Boston and have lived for the past three here in Texas. There is a lot I do and don't like about living in TX, but I am absolutely certain I will never return to Boston winter climates ever, ever again.
first I like to say, I am a introvert, too, and I am a software engineer, too, I had a long time in the situation like you several years ago. I like tennis, so I choose to play it regularly, longer I play, more confidence I found I feel, and I met many people who have the same hobby, when I don't what to start, I talk some tennis news, and they really love it, and I found I can react dynamically after trying, and now, if I see some girl playing tennis, I can get close, and talk, and ...., I hope it can help you.

> it's hard to argue we're not in a similarly idiotic bubble to the previous one

No, it's not hard at all. It's nothing like the late 90s.

> I'd be willing to bet that this huge BS-to-usefulness ratio isn't sustainable in the long term

I dispute the premise here. Humans are social creatures who enjoy each other. And as we mature economically, we have more leisure time than ever before. And say what you want, but to me you seem blinded by your own personal tastes and temperament. You don't get 100,000,000 people using an app every month without tapping into something bigger than "BS".

Building software that connects people, that people enjoy using, and that speaks to millions is IMO rewarding and worthwhile and no less noble than what you're doing with encrypted email.
Which blogs?

Geopolitics is NOT nuclear science. It's much less complicated.

If somebody's trying to convince you that it is too complex for the layman to understand, they're likely trying to conceal something.
And to look them up on your web site will only cost €4000 per year per site. Bargain!

For those who want to implement a VM as an exercise, I recommend to implement a simple JIT-compiler after that. You'll probably be impressed at performance improvements and it's funny exercise to do. I used GNU lightning to generate machine code.
And "How can I take better looking photos with my iPhone" is the problem Instagram has gotten famous solving.
You can actually tell that the author hasn't used an Apple Watch before, and is evaluating the watch based on hearsay and a list of functionality, rather than how it feels to use one.
BPA was replaced but the alternative is just as bad.

By the way BPA is still in the thermal paper used for cash register receipts.
Also having experienced both, I wouldn't want to work in a place that didn't have code reviews.

I ask myself, "WTF was this guy thinking when he wrote this?" far less often when I'm working on code that's been code reviewed. Most of the time, the reviewer catches code like that, and requests that it be fixed and/or commented, before I end up debugging through it 6 months later.

IMO, open office plans, reading HN and nerf guns hinder development speed far more than code reviews.

So a lack masculinity is equal to femininity? Yay gender binaries
I started working full time at a web development consultancy at about that age, you'll get screwed a bit: you'll likely be brought in at a less-than-appropriate salary, as I was.

If you're stable and have all the basics; food, shelter, access to electricity and computer networks; Try to write some software of your own accord, and attend some meetups. It sucks to be below legal drinking age at a free beer event, but you'll meet some people you'll like for sure.

Write some open source code if you want to attract people who have technical ability, write something you think would be useful, and test it with the market, if you would like to attract business.

Another thing mentioned a bit too pro-university here, was the importance of culture and theoretical knowledge. You should probably know your O notation and vacuum up Wikipedia pages on graph theory, discrete maths, or whatever tickles your fancy. Maybe take a weekend to learn how formal verification works, and write a proof or two in Isabelle or Coq. Maybe broaden your horizons to natural language processing, or go into the bowels of the machines you're programming, figure out how adders work.

By far what has helped me the most to prevent myself from being alienated from my industry(which is full of theoretically astute graduates), has been a focus on being cultured and knowing everything they know and more about the topic at hand.

Do not, under any circumstance, let your elders outknow you, or you will be defined by your age.
I'm looking for a way to submit new links to a list of computer employers that I'm building. I face the problem of spammers, specifically. One idea I have in mind is for the registration form to be at a new url every time, generated for that specific registration, with a significant time delay before my server coughs up the URL.

If I do it right, to a live human it will appear that the internet is just a little slow at the time.
I have an interesting problem. A co-worker of mine appears extremely sensitive to his code being reviewed and I honestly don't know how to deal with it. He feels attacked (and becomes defensive during code reviews) because the reviewers focus on the "bad things and mistakes" of his code instead of the accomplishments.

Has anyone here dealt with similar issues during reviews?
>While I'm not particularly a fan of oil companies, they didn't just turn up in a country and start drilling wells without permission. Generally they were invited in by governments that lacked the technology or capital ot build a domestic oil industry.

Or, in South America, invited by the previous government, which was often an America-installed despot.

I should define my terms better.

For this discussion, I'll initially restrict it to just "value subjectivity", i.e. a person's desires are dependent on their state of mind and that state of mind is personal and varying. For example, ranking your preference for a cool glass of water and a delicious sandwich depends on how thirsty you are.

Scale this up to millions of people and you find that there is no objective ordering of "things" that can satisfy everybody bhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow%27s_impossibility_theorem

Capitalism, as a system, recognises this and is effectively a distributed consensus mechanism. Allocating "points" to people who provide the most value to the system. BUT like any system, it has winners and losers (not necessarily evil, just benefitting) and without checks and balances would lead to a state of the world that I'm unhappy with. Which is why taxation and welfare.

For any proposed alternative/update, I'm interested in the new winners and losers as well as how this distributed consensus is achieved.
As an aside, you're going to want to find someone that has that business experience, and probably before you start poking your head around asking for money.
I have a different perspective. I recently bought a Garmin Fenix 3 GPS/semi-smart watch. Before I had this I didn't get the entire category at all. Now I still don't get the Apple watch but I DO understand more of what's coming.

Coupled with a heart rate monitor I can see a zillion interesting metrics about my exercises (including cadence and ground contact time). When I'm hiking I have a GPS map that I follow to show me how to get back to where I was. All the standard GPS features, plus I now get notifications when someone texts or calls and it's so much less inconspicuous to check the messages on my watch.

While I'm running I can just leave my phone in my pocket and control my music on my watch. Also the watch is always showing the time (it works well in light so the backlight is usually necessary).

I don't need my bike speed computer anymore now that I have this watch as well. One less thing to futz with.

A key thing that makes this watch work so well where my last GPS watch failed is the battery life. It can go around a full week without charging so it can easily last through a day of use. Several if I can't get to a charger.

I don't have the other features of the iWatch but they don't really appeal to me. All I can say is that this watch is one of the better electronics purchases I've made. There's definitely SOMETHING to this category of devices. I don't think Apple's got it quite yet though.
I'm firmly in the "I don't get it" camp. I'll be amazed if this catches on, but I won't try to yuck anyone's yum. If it works for you, go for it.
