Sorry, I think I was a bit unclear. I have no doubt the jvm can support a functional language - scala isn't bad and Kotlin looks really nice. My point is more that Java is constrained in how it can compete with functional jvm languages in much the same way c# is against functional clr ones. The linked article explains those limits a lot better than I could :)
Are startup studios really just copycats?
Yes, it is true conceptually, but:

1) "Who cares" is not the sort of thing you want to say to someone who cares about performance because:

2) Sending the data to buffers for subsequent reduction was the first implementation (2009). But it was a memory hog and a 5% or so slowdown to perform the reduction subsequently rather than concurrently with Atomic Ops and 64-bit Fixed Point (2012).

But I guess what we're arriving at is that this is essentially a functional design using imperative code? I can live with that.
There is a series of videos on Youtube with examples from some big pool.

I thought, now I know what to look for, how hard can it be?

Turns out, very.

I watched twenty videos or so. Not once did I see the guy in trouble before the lifeguard blew the whistle and jumped in.
Usually not even after watching him the first few meters swim (and thus limiting the possible area to watch).
It might be a terrorizing terrorist

Or a drug overlord.

What happened to serve and protect?

Police in the United States have never had any such legal duty, and this has been backed by court precedent. It's purely a motto.

Two relevant cases are South v. State of Maryland (1855) and Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005).
I think this depends upon who you are, giant multinationals have no problem filling out the paperwork for day laborers.

Some guy who want some help with his yard-work one Saturday, probably is just going to skip hiring a day laborer if he has to register with the state as an employer and fill out all the local, state and federal income tax and employment tax forms for a days work. Even if the amount of money to pay that tax is trivial.

I think the informal economy exists to avoid both taxes and paperwork. And for some things the cost of the paperwork is significantly higher than the cost of the taxes.
In my experience the by far best state to do any sort of work is being sober, clear minded, and in the zone. What psychedelics help with is expanding perspectives, looking at things from a different angle, getting the big picture, semantically over-exaggerating problematic details like a microscope, breaking away barriers, and shuffling things up.

When done responsibly, with enough processing and digestion after a psychedelic experience, this can lead to trying new approaches, which, combined with hard work over long periods of time, can indeed lead to extraordinary results.
> Rippetoe is all about being strong, because being strong is better than being weak.

Then again, too much strength competes with balance and flexibility.
You are absolutely correct. The bolshevik takeover of the country resulted in a fierce civil war where they basically wiped out the previous intelligentsia and large parts of the church.

And then there were external threats (causing paranoia) and massive mismanagement because they ran their economy according to utopian phantasies, similar to what the Chinese did. (which also resulted in tens of millions starving to death)

Only after the second world war the continent was sufficiently stabilized for a few decades and that's when the masses lived a decent life compared to what they had before.
That is exactly what happened to me. I was an avid runner who joined a friend in Crossfit. Ended up loving squats and got into powerlifting. I now workout at an old 1000 year old powerlifting gym, but I never would be here without crossfit.
> The culture that encourages police officers to engage their weapons before gathering information promotes the mind-set that nothing, including citizen safety, is more important than officers’ personal security.

This seems like the thing police forces need to change in order to fix the situation.
"There is simply no alternative system of payment that is as convenient, reliable and anonymous. Bitcoin is anonymous, but currently unstable and inconvenient"

Being a nerd

I have been using bitcoin since 2011, in last year almost on a daily basis, yes the rate is volatile but this will not be an issue once more people use it and the number is growing for sure (especially in the last few weeks alot of females joining the community due to backpage.com visa/mastercard ban), before this months rise the rate was remarkably stable for almost half a year

As for "convenience" i find bitcoin a lot more damned convenient (and secure) than credit cards and delighted everytime i see it as a payment method, all i have to do is scan a QR code with my mycelium android phone wallet and send bitcoin with few taps, for storage I have a tiny USB hardware wallet (trezor) on my desk which keeps the private keys safe even if my computer gets infected
It's just taking a (long) while.
It's a really great essay. I love the quote "Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats". I think the most exciting time for a founder is when you've done that and the world starts to catch up with you, and the uncertainty, rejection, stress and work starts to pay off. For those interested I collected many of Jessica's interviews here: http://newslines.org/jessica-livingston/
> You'd think they could come to some type of compromise less onerous than this entire saga has been.

Given that the schism was based on politics and philosophy, I doubt that a compromise would have been possible.

ffmpeg moves fast and sometimes gets sloppy, and was hard to version for distros. libav wanted slow and careful and clean and wanted to be distro friendly.

Clearly libav tried to Do It Right(tm), but it looks like they ended up on the losing side of the fork. Forks only work when you can get the majority of developers to come along with you.
This was my experience in using ffmpeg with an unrelated rtmp pipe as well. libav caused a ton of very strange and non-reproducible errors that were inconsistent. The switch back to ffmpeg cleaned up 90%+ of the problems.
Is all the source available or are blobs required to build images?
Replacing runtime dependencies is doable for dynamically linked libraries as long as they provide the same ABI, e.g., you can swap out BLAS implementations in this way. Obviously static linking is a different story.

If the goal is to balance having enough taxis available but not too many on the road at a given time, why not make the adjustments every hour or day?
While that's all true I think this all started when credit card providers and businesses figured out how much valuable data they can extract out of one's purchase history.

Of course once the data is all aggregated within the databases of the two or three credit card providers in the country, it's easy for the state to dip his fingers in.
An earlier version of the message stated that development on ffmpeg had stopped. How can you interpret this in any other way than an effort to spread FUD about ffmpeg by libav?...
This is the case with old code in general, though. 2003 Javascript, 2003 C++, any Java, especially 2003 C#, any C, 2003 Python, etc are all horrible messes to work with today. C++ got so much better with C++11/14 I can't even think of it as the same language. Python literally broke itself. Java is pretty much dead except for on Android (consumer facing) for good reason. C# was practically an infant in 2003 and got so much better with so many frameworks around it since then. C is still as bad as ever, and Rust / Go didn't exist, and Scala came out that year.

It is why frameworks and toolkits are so important. You want to minimize your codes aging surface area, and having individual parts you can manage and age independently kicks the pants off of starting from int main() and hoping for the best. Wesnoth's greatest library dependency is SDL, which honestly should make the engine fairly futureproof if they could get it ported to SDL2. But that doesn't change how everything else is pretty much raw C++, with just AI rules in Python or Lua.

I'd have to look into if they are giving a thumbs up to std=c++14 or not, because if they are I might go poke around just to see how much you can fix. I'll have to read more on that though.
If there's one thing gov need to do against Uber/Lyft, that's set a high bar for drivers' capability, not limit their numbers.
Isn't the issue that they don't have enough developer hours to stabilize everything?

I've upvoted you because, whilst it may not have been the most useful way of putting it, I agree that luck plays a large part (and I'm a founder myself). As others have pointed out though, there are a lot of things you can do to try to maximize your chances of being 'lucky', and a lot of good advice for founders is essentially this.

For those interested in reading more about the role of luck (amongst other very interesting discussions about how we make decisions), I'd heartily recommend reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman (and "The Black Swan" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb too as a nice complement).
Well, that would work in a perfect system. In our current system, however, roads are "free". So, if you make driving a cab free and unlimited on those free roads, you just end up with a tragedy of the commons. Medallions solve that, but so would an appropriate gas tax (hint, many times higher than it is now) or some other kind of per-mile payment for road use.
Love the book!

Could founder success early on be broken into 2 parts?:
1. Founder EQ (internal + external) and
2. Market/Time.

We know that in the wrong market/time startups have a hard time gaining traction. Sometimes you need to give time i.e. keep going through the dark times; to reach a time when the market is ready/needs what you are offering. It's that analogy "A rising tide lifts all boats". So you need to get your boat into the water.

As for Founder EQ. Internally - strong to battle through the tough emotional times (perseverance, adaptability etc) and externally - how the founders communicate and work together to get stuff done. We know founder disputes kill many early startups.

Once traction is gained and money flows then those 2 might not be as important. Money does solve many problems. At that point everyone inside the company is spinning the cog and inertia takes over.
The "credit card companies" (i.e. the networks like Visa) make their money from the transaction fees which they split with the issuing banks. The transaction fees are also a significant money-maker for the banks but my understanding is that they typically make more from interest and fees (including both annual fees and late fees). Unsurprisingly the high-end cards make relatively less from interest.
Humans are not Automatically Strategic (2010)
150% agreed on the convenience. It's just far and away the most convenient method of electronic payment right now. Bar none.

However, how are you using it daily? I struggle to find places to accept Bitcoin.
This is super crazy money. I will strongly recommend to follow any HTML/CSS course online. If you badly need it understand concepts in very easy (Read: non-technical) way, I may help out with that money! :P
I really wanted to disengage, but I've noticed that both of your comments on this article have been calling people out.

Out of curiosity, why call people out?? Has it worked for you in other projects?? Or, have you reached contributor burnout?
I sometimes find ex-military folks analogies between their wartime service and situations in civilian life rather forced, but this analysis is exactly right. I used to ask myself why the Israeli Defence Forces would risk innocent palestinian civilian lives to kill the terrorists who hide among them by using drones or airstrikes instead of the kind of techniques they would no doubt use if the terrorists were surrounded by Israeli civilians. The simple answer is that the life of an Israeli civilian is considered (by the IDF) to be worth more than that of a palestinian civilian.

The same was clearly true in the United States' early approach to counter-insurgency in Iraq, as described in this piece, where the life of an American soldier is clearly much more valuable to the US Government than those of the Iraqi civilians we went to 'save'.

The sad thing is the comparison I would always quote was "what would the police do in the United States, if you had a dangerous criminal surrounded by civilians?" They probably wouldn't use an airstrike, they would probably use some other technique with a higher risk to the police, but a lower risk to the civilians they are sworn to 'protect and serve'

This article (and lots of other data) suggests that is changing: if everyone is a suspect until proven innocent, there is no need for police restraint. The worse that can happen is a dead 'perp' I guess...
I'm going to go full-on cynical here:

A) because they can, and
B) because it counts towards SWAT gear maintenance

To expand on point B, I would not be the least bit surprised if police departments' beancounters actually kept tabs on the average cost of SWAT gear maintenance costs. Higher number of conducted raids means a lower bolded number in metrics spreadsheet.

... which actually brings up another item. Do the personnel on a raid get paid dangerous duty bonuses?

I don't think the single developer argument should be too much of a concern in an open source project. I saw Michael of ffmpeg had a lot of commits. In my experience with both closed and open sourced projects this is usually the case. There is one person that wrote the majority of the code.

The great thing about open source is that even if they step away it's not like the code is going anywhere. To an end user of ffmpeg it would still continue to function.

I personally had no idea ffmpeg was forked to libav until one day I tried to install it in Ubuntu and was like...wtf. Then I installed libav and went about my day.
This discussion of strategies for reducing the use of force by police is more constructive and sensible than most on this issue:

You must have been to a different Greece, because I haven't seen an ATM that didn't work, or a shop that wouldn't accept credit cards.

Then again, we do everything with cash, and cards are used for a very small minority of transactions. Your "good luck without cash" is self-defeating, because you're effectively saying "I was in a cash-only society the other day, good luck without cash". All this proves is that cash is not only alive and well, but king, at least in certain parts of the world.
I haven`t read the book but it would be interesting if we can see some stories about founders who have failed or the mistakes that these founders committed that proved very costly. Would love to see some major examples of what/how things went wrong - did some feature/stand from the founders or board result in a backlash from the community (ex: recent press on reddit) or a product that couldn't stand by itself for too long etc.
This can't really work 100% without exhaustively giving every string accepted by the regex, or giving every string not accepted by the regex. Regular expressions are essentially a shorthand for doing that.

Since it's impossible to do accurately, it has to use some "common sense" via genetic programming or whatever. In your example, it probably sees that people rarely want [1-8]{1,3}, but that it's a subset of \d+ and goes with that instead.
We've not converted entire code bases, but based on what we're doing and feedback from others, we could say roughly around 35% or so.
His commit rate is high partly because he merges all libav commits too.
That problem existed in both directions. Packages written to ffmpeg would have trouble building with libav, and packages written to libav would have trouble building with ffmpeg. For an example of the latter, gstreamer adapted its ffmpeg plugin to become a libav plugin, and that plugin now doesn't always build against ffmpeg without some effort.
Of course the government didn't invent these payment methods, businessmen like you and I did. I'm not against cashless payment, I'm using these services myself.

I'm against the government having too much power and regulating every detail of life.
I've only made one top level comment on this article. I'm not trying to convince this guy to contribute, I'm trying to find out why he doesn't. Can no one just take me at my word? Yeesh.
Scott Sumner's been pretty spot on.

Krugman predicted austerity of 2013 would hurt. It didn't.

I can't dig it up, but Sumner claimed it would not provided NGDP didn't fall (i.e., the fed caused a monetary offset). You'll never guess what happened next.

I did count okay, and attempted to remember people, especially those I wanted to keep track of: anyone on their own, weak swimming individuals, people who might have their mind elsewhere, etc. A whole count and a count of the groups was enough. But you're right, it changes constantly. It takes concentration.

People tend to get in difficulty particularly if they go out in a group (threes are the worst, ime), and the others move away or swim deeper, or come in. So I noticed problems more than once when a group didn't tally ('there were four friends there, where's the other one?')

Because of the property I ran, the count was feasible, but on a long beach or a packed facility it probably wouldn't be. We had around 50:1 ratio max. I tried a bunch of stuff with my team, but it was the thing that worked best.

There are bits of tech to do some spotting, and there are companies that do 'remote' lifeguarding (i.e. offshore people watching video, with an onsite guard in case something happens). I can't speak to the use of that, because we had state regulations that meant we had specific staffing structure.
That's covered in the article; the projects both use git, so libav commits are merged with the original committers intact, not under someone else's name.
Given the constraints we imposed on our decision, I'd say that number was quite lower.
Masterminds of Programming is a good read. It contains of interviews with lots of creators of programming languages. The interviews cover a broad range from history to design to philosophy.

This is a really well written article. This also echo's alot of the sentiment that many people have. I remember reading recently about the differences in police training from Germany vs the US. One of the things that stuck out at me was the huge amount of hours they spend training to "not" shoot, and learning how to de-escalate situations. It's no wonder we have so many issues here in the US, it makes me sad.

It happened many years ago, but I'll never forget the time I was coming home from work, buzzing west along Foothill Blvd in the darkening evening, and I turned north toward my neighborhood. A small child jumped out from behind parked cars, directly into my path. I laid my bicycle down, the pedal and frame spraying gravel as I stepped off. She looked at me, not scared so much as lost in thought, and wandered on across the street. I smiled and picked my bike up.

It is no wonder that cars kill children, and always have. That child would have died if I had been driving.
Free software relies disproportionally on a small number of people doing it for ideological reasons. It doesn't help that video codec work is particularly difficult and usually patent-encumbered. I'm still not sure whether ffmpeg is entirely non-patent infringing.
What do you lose by sticking to context-free grammars?
Once you're off my lawn I'll teach you all about the 8051, HCS09, and Z80, sonny boy.
Also, according to a ffmpeg contributor [1] (who joined after the schism) they just refused to merge anything by ffmpeg, often doing identical functionality from scratch (because users wanted it after seeing it in ffmpeg).

Meanwhile ffmpeg merged basically everything from libav.
Furthermore ffmpeg made an effort to provide compatibility, even for stuff where libav intentionally broke compatibility.

So basically ffmpeg benefitted from all the work put into libav but not the other way around. Seems to me that they brought this upon themselves.

That first paragraph gives me goosebumps every time. I'm fine with the yearly reminder. :D
> The simple answer is that the life of an Israeli civilian is considered (by the IDF) to be worth more than that of a palestinian civilian.

It's important here to draw a philosophical distinction between the claim that the lives of some groups are more important than the lives of others, and the claim that a particular person or organization has a greater duty to some groups than others. It's perfectly consistent to think that each parent has a greater duty to protect their own children (possibly at the expense of other lives), and that each military has a greater duty to protect its own civilians, without actually thinking that anyone is more intrinsically valuable than anyone else.

I was talking about the companies marketing document, key-value, cloud, etc. databases. New & improved, at least different, technologies that were coming from many different areas and getting lots of users. They might have acquired many top-name companies in those bunch and Oracle's NoSQL products have millions of paying users. I haven't followed Oracle acquisitions closely so I had to take a guess: Oracle's culture would make them primarily acquire things similar to them: RDBMS's, ERP, etc. Then, companies doing things in different ways would keep scooping up customers that might have bought Oracle.

Was this the case or was I way off? You seem to know more about their acquisitions.
