You're making a fair point--and feeling like you have everything on the line at every step is most likely going to ramp up someone's level of anxiety and stress with all the negative impacts that entails. However, I also think there is a counterbalancing point that framing life as an all-encompassing economic gamble actually reinforces that anxiety and stress by making it seem like economics is the whole of existence--and for folks who are feeling overwhelmed by feeling like their failure or success hangs in the balance it is likely to drown out a more healthy counter-narrative which is that you're probably not "ruined" if you fail. It'll suck (believe me I'm still paying shitloads of student loans for a career I quit almost a decade ago), but you can still have friends and community and value things in life that aren't work or career. People who are at the point of attempting suicide have drowned out all those positives with a tunnel vision on the pressure of success/failure that is blinding them to other possibilities (see comments above about people who survived jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge).

So yeah, the economics of operating without the feeling of a safety net sucks, but people who are starting to crumble under that safety net need to hear that the safety net isn't just their runway, it's also all the family and friends and life that they have or can build. Unfortunately in this particular case it sounds like she was in a transition and didn't quite have those solidly in place yet.
I'm going to presume that I don't really understand the company then, because the founders and advisers should certainly know more than I do about drug discovery.
IMHO there is an incentive for wall st to be a bit cautious on their estimates (better to beat, then everyone is happy, vs a miss in which a huge pullback occurs and the analysts are questioned). There is not the same incentive on estimize. 9/10 estimize's estimates are slightly higher than the street, which more often than not is correct.
Exactly right. This should have been done on a test track.

Your question highlights one thing I've always found bizarre about the tech industry. In most professional industries, having an office in the suburbs is a mark of being second-rate. Can you imagine Goldman or McKinsey trading their midtown Manhattan digs for an office park in New Jersey?
The analysts' recta have historically been much more accurate than Apple's press releases, which have (as is not atypical in the tech industry) routinely and severely underestimated revenue.
>An enormous number of people, especially young people, are looking to avoid spending their lives in cars.

Young people never wanted to spend their lives in cars. What's different with this generation is they don't seem to have much interest in forming families, so they move to the trendier areas and spend all their money instead of living in a cheaper area, commuting, and saving for a situation that would be good for raising children.

The other difference is big US cities are quite a bit cleaner and safer than they were a generation ago. In the last few years the federal government has been moving subsidized housing to he suburbs, and with it has gone a lot of the crime.
I schedule them so I can run a recurring task every day.

Examples:

2. Check a website for changes.

3. Process log data, and save it to another location.

Docker may be overkill for some of these, but it provides a simple way to launch a new task in a container with all dependencies installed. The overhead seems to be relatively small for starting a new container, so it's worth the overhead vs. configuring a machine to run the container.

To the nay-sayers on speed as priority:

I'm currently on a two-week deployment cycle. It's not only annoying to wait but it's also dangerous. There have been several incidents where the code that broke something was committed a whole week or two weeks before! Worse still is that we're deploying two systems at once and usually we're patching the systems at the same time. So you have a perfect storm of bad things that can happen with multiple causes. Faster means you see the problems sooner.
15 minutes seems reasonable to me. I thought the original 12 hours was too long - I was done with the container I spun up a few minutes after I started it.

That's cool I guess, but this article is more about setting up a load balancer than it is about HHVM. I was hoping for some juicy bit about it completely hosing up on some obscure PHP function.
If it's stolen as often as it is, it doesn't really "work so well". It worked well up until it started being used and stored on Internet-accessible machines. As soon as that happened, it utterly failed to "work so well".

It's interesting that Lumia sales are up by more than 10%, but revenue through phone sales decreased by 38%.

> I understand that journalists often create a simplified straw-man to contrast to a new and innovative upstart, however as someone who once served as an industry analyst at the intersection of life science discovery and technical computing this article's characterization of how big pharma approach drug discovery seems almost cartoon like in its stereotyping of the discovery and development process at big pharma.

Journalists often don't create the simplified strawmen, the PR staff writing the press releases for the firm that they are covering do that for them.
At most very slightly below, right?

Revenue and EPS are actually better in their earnings report.

The only thing that’s worse is that they sold 1.3 million fewer iPhones and .1 million fewer Macs. iPads are right on. Revenue guidance is $49b to $51b.
If you are interested in some of the details:

The Navier-Stokes equations can be derived from the Boltzmann equation by applying a slight perturbation, expanding the result as a series, and taking the moments.

Taking the moments is essentially an integration, which comes with the implicit assumption that the system you're describing has sufficiently many particles. When running low on particles, this integration does not make sense. This is why the resulting equations do not apply at low densities.

The Navier-Stokes equations are the second order expansion of this procedure. The result of the first order expansion are the Euler equations.

This is called the Chapman-Enskog procedure. It's really quite illuminating when you see it for the first time. There's a great derivation in [1] if you can get your hand on it.

I'd expect chase scenes to endure, and they'll probably include robocars, but also hacks to get around/take advantage of their inherent chase limitations. E.g.: someone on a bicycle could intentionally ride through a crowd of pedestrians knowing that robocars won't just blast through to follow. Or the police could shut down a robocar remotely, but the fugitive could figure out how to escape the locked car. Etc.

> > It was created as a research project exploring: "transparent, lifelong program analysis and transformation for arbitrary programs."[1] GCC and other compilers were not setup to do this.

> gcc was in fact set up to explicitly not be able to do this.

GCC was originally very difficult to integrate with so that non-free programs could not be built on top of it. However, the creation of LLVM does not reduce to: "GCC was difficult to work with so we made this." There had been many attempts to make "Universal Compiler IRs". These attempts had not gone well. LLVM instead chose to do something at a unique level of abstraction that wasn't good for everything but was very good for its particular niche. Once again, read the paper, LLVM really wasn't created as a reaction against GCC.
It's articles like these that make me wonder if the current paradigm of centralized production in general is a fluke. Before the industrial revolution there were a handful of cities that were big and mostly for political (cities where the sovereign reigned) or economic reasons (trading). But now, we seem to be overbuilding because that's what we're use to. The suburbs are just an extension of the same phenomenon where the ability to subsidize transportation costs via centralization of production has made this possible. Obviously, the steadily rising price of oil is slowing the growth, but in many ways if the societies before the industrial revolution could have kept the same inventions of production at the local level perhaps things wouldn't be as disjointed as they are. Imagine smaller towns and cities with the same tools of production, but not to the current scale as we experience. Only a handful of modern situations would warrant a big foot print (datacenters and certain factories come to mind), but those would exist in the regions and cities that make economic sense. Today, it just seems like everyone wants to go Stalinist/Soviet big with everything.
No Apple Watch sales numbers revealed. They obviously sold millions on launch but I believe they don't want to set expectations too high by revealing the number until they see next quarters results. Making the overhyped launch sales the de facto benchmark will hurt the stock in the future because it will be a tough number to top. The more likely scenario will be that they'll wait till the year is over and come out with an average sales number for the year.
It's too early to tell but I think wearables will be huge.

The Watch is only first generation so the benefits will increase. The first generation iPhone didn't have a camera, for example. The current Watch is a tethered device.

Selling the health and safety benefits of a wearable shouldn't be too hard for Apple and Google.
I dunno, advertising seems ok, you have to tell people about your product. It's marketing that's kinda sick.

Admittedly not in node, but I've found that writing end-to-end tests but substituting different 'units' for in-memory or not depending on the test marries the best of both worlds. In-memory tests tend to focus on behaviour.

In the rush to shoe-horn tests into a taxonomy, or 'integration' vs 'acceptances' vs 'unit' we often loose sight of the actual value proposition. Assisting design and building confidence to make changes.
fegu,

That was precisely the reason. The paper mentions that they only collected enough for the group-level and subsequent exhaustive search.
I mean, I get the effect on stock prices and why it happens (people use the best available info and use past experiences with that info to calibrate their expectations) but that’s stock land. Here in the real world that’s not a miss by a mile, it’s just business as usual with no material effects on Apple’s outlook (i.e. this might be a miss by a mile if you trade stocks but that doesn’t mean there are any material consequences for Apple from this).

So people adjust their predictions, stock prices fluctuate, hopefully no one cares because Apple missing predictions by a couple million bucks is materially irrelevant for the company and couldn’t be any more materially irrelevant if it wanted to.

So I'm maybe missing something, but Other Products 2014 didn't include Beats headphones sales, right? Because the acquisition didn't happen until Aug 1, 2014?

And Other Products 2015 explicitly does include Beats Electronics.

And wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beats_Electronics) says that Beats revenue in 2013 was $1.5 billion.

If all that is right -- and it may not be -- then that implies that Beats + Apple Watch < $1b revenue, which would indicate that something is very wrong. Indeed, it would imply that something is SO wrong that I doubt I have the facts above correct.

EDIT: Duh, thanks thedaveoflife, obviously the $1.5b for 2013 Beats is an annual number, not a quarterly one. And of course the iPod numbers are presumably shrinking. That explains it.
Chris Anderson talks a lot about the smartphone-drone connection here: "How I Accidentally Kickstarted the Domestic Drone Boom" http://www.wired.com/2012/06/ff_drones/
I never thought about this before reading the article but now it seems pretty obvious to me that both descriptions can not yield the same results under all circumstances. The Navier–Stokes equations are based on quantities like density and flow velocity which are only really meaningful if you have sufficiently many particles to average about. In consequence I am hardly surprised that one gets disagreeing results under extreme conditions like very low densities.
I think it's too soon to make that call. I'm an early adopter of many Apple products, but find the watch very lacking. Even my ex-gf, who works at Apple, decided she wasn't going to get the watch.

What's wrong with it?

For starters, it's no-go for left-handed people. If you put the watch on your right hand, the controls are all on the arm side, rather than the hand side of the watch. On a normal watch that's not a big deal because you barely access the controls. The solution then is to turn the watch upside down, but then the controls are still awkward and since they made the strange decision not to center the control. One wonders why they went with "watch" controls at all.

Second, it's not really a watch, is it? It's a lot more than a watch. A watch for me is mostly a fashion accessory. But these things are ugly. I find it very strange that Angela Ahrendts from Burberry is in charge of retail, but they didn't do what Burberry does... get watch companies to make the watches and then tack on their logo. I would love a Burberry type watch (despite my watchmaker friend telling me how much crap they are), which, by the way, has many interactive features with my iPhone. But what Apple offered was an ugly, clunky, underpowered second screen that I have to constantly charge.

All that said, I think they might figure out how to make a good Apple Watch (as long as they don't treat it like they've treated the Apple TV, which IMHO, has gone backward with each version -- give me local storage!).
Hmm. Really needs a way to save and resume editing a "shred" I was in the middle of selecting some different portions of a bunch of videos and accidentally quit. Seems like an app with potential though.
This reminds me of Inigo Quilez's work on rendering soft shadows by using distance fields.

The main idea is that you represent a 3D object using not triangles, but a function f(x,y,z) stored on the GPU. The function should return the approximate distance from point (x,y,z) to the object in question, so it's zero on the object's surface and negative on the inside.

It's easy to construct such functions for spheres, boxes, etc. [1] It's also easy to define combinators for moving, adding and subtracting different objects, adding rounded corners, etc.

That representation is well suited for raymarching [2], because the value of f(x,y,z) at your current position along the ray can be safely used as the length of the next raymarching step, so you automatically get larger steps when you're far from the object.

It's also well suited for rendering shadows with penumbras, because the minimum value of f(x,y,z) as you march along the ray gives you the distance between the ray and the object [3]. A slight modification of that trick can give you ambient occlusion as well.

Exactly. In this situation, the people on the road have less information that we do after the fact. People deserve to know if they were put in danger and why. Since this was done on a public highway, anyone that uses public highways has a right to feel upset about the behavior.

I would like to think that a call to 911 with more information (which of course a fellow driver wouldn't have) would be handled differently:

911: 911, What's your emergency?
Driver: Hi, someone on the freeway has purposefully disabled their vehicle in a location without shoulders, and is slowing while driving, impeding traffic. I'm not sure if the power brakes or steering are functioning, but the driver is definitely not in full control of the vehicle.
911: We've dispatched an officer to your location. Has there been an accident yet? Has the driver recovered control of the vehicle?
hmm. Just tried it again, and it worked now. Nice job getting one that doesn't start with repeat!
