Well maybe that's not all we can do. Maybe the abstraction of treating light and the rest of the Universe somewhat separately will break (of course we describe the coupling too). Maybe the abstraction of treating light as a non-dividable entity in the Universe will break. It would only create other axioms and/or other non-dividable entities, at what point would you be satisfied? It could very well be that you can't divide light any further and I would be satisfied with it if we can describe its behavior fully. If one says that light is a broken abstraction and you can describe the Universe using only "string" then you would ask "Yeah, but what strings are?".

I'm not saying that asking what light is is not an important question. But there is a possibility that there is simply no answer and yet we can have fully working physics. At least nobody will question your theories just because you don't tell what exactly your elementary particles are. They are elementary, we just have them, maybe light is not one of them.
This guy doesn't really understand what "All else being equal" implies.

The phrase has a very specific meaning in statistics. Any one of us can think of counter-examples where a company which was late to a market ended up dominating it. This article's opening statement allows the author to deflect these repostes, saying "Ah but in that case, company x's execution was much better" or "Company b's marketing push came at a really bad time"; i.e. All else wasn't equal and so your counter-example doesn't detract from the author's point.

This reasoning is problematic. Imagine the equivalent phrase: "If you have two Ferraris, identical in every single way except that one has a higher rate of acceleration than the other, then the faster Ferrari is better". In a vacuum, this statement is so obviously true that it doesn't need to be said.

So the author starts with this statement. As every reader will intuitively agree with it, the author gets them "on side". They then go on to make unsupported claims, which the reader is now happilly innoculated to.

The article's opening is misleading because, effort being a finite resource, all else cannot be equal when it comes to human endeavour. By focusing on speed you inevitably sacrifice time spent on something else such as the rollcage, the breaks, or the looks.

The prediliction for speed and fast execution is systemic in the startup scene right now and it can be very damaging. Don't ignore that risk when pushing to deliver.

We didn't put men on the moon quickly, we did it as safely as we could. Google didn't become the pre-eminent search engine because it was first (it wasn't), but rather because it was the best.

EDIT: It has been pointed out to me that misuse of "All else being equal" in this manner is fairly common. That being the case, it is unlikely that the author was purposefully attempting to support an argument they knew to be weak (why would they do so, afterall). Apologies if the tone of the original comment was taken as aggressive :)
If you are logging passwords, you've got bigger problems than worrying about attackers being able to middleman your TLS connection and somehow not able to modify it.

I know what you are trying to explain, and you are simply bending over backwards to make it look like this wasn't another example of how clueless about security Valve is.

If they already have one billion in revenues their valuation is likely much higher than that.
Rails isn't modern. I assume though that at least it does support validation, which is exactly the point. Building a bunch of tests in order to avoid college-level development practices would be a waste. Tests are valuable, but as an additional level of protection on top of good - or just regular - practices.
Your answer to this probably depends on your own financial exposure to the Chinese market : P

Yes, I definitely see value of comments in a situation like flex fields because that's something that may not be straight forward or clearly apparent!

Legacy tables or fields also make sense because the code will remain the same and thus lead to no comment rot.

As long as the comments stay relevant and cause no extra confusion, then it is useful! I suppose it is also situation dependant as well as the preference of the development team at the time.
The linked message says it could come back as sparc64 - the Debian port was a 32 bit userspace, optionally 64 but kernel, while on new sparc machines you probably would want to use sparc64 userspace. For embedded/fpga sparc it is less clear. Anecdotally though I think there are more NetBSD/OpenBSD users on sparc than Linux.
You're making the assumption that Schäuble is a reasonable man, which he's proven amply not to be.

I think that your last point gets to the heart of the question, and you are right that we may never achieve a deeper understanding of light, matter, or gravity; but that does not mean that a deeper understanding is not desirable, or that we should stop asking the questions. Further, we will never know for certain when we have reached the bounds of our capacity to understand, so I will continue to ask "Yeah, but what strings are?". I always like to keep in mind that 'atom' means 'indivisible' in Greek, and yet we found that bound of knowledge to be surmountable (with debatable consequences).

I would also like to be clear that I am not criticizing anyone for making insufficient progress; it is just that there is a lot out there left for us to understand, and not all of it is marginal stuff that's "very big or very small".
Because their stocks have been over valued for a while now. This is basically the market adjusting to what it should have been.

We had our first child 2 weeks ago. I'm a Finnish expat living in Japan.

I think it's a bit loaded topic, as people have pretty strong opinions about how to do parenting right. I know at 2 weeks, I have no idea what I'm doing yet.

So far it seems things haven't changed as radically as I would have expected. It's been continuous, not a sudden jump into an unknown world or anything like that. Based on stuff I read online, my expectation was that this 24/7 crying ball of torture would enter our house, with poop, pee and drool flying everywhere.

But in reality he's mostly quiet and sleeping. And he's really cute and it makes us happy to "play" with him when he's awake. He doesn't even drool.

In Japan it's usual that grandparents help out at first. So we've had our mother-in-law living here for 2 weeks, which means that with all the attention on the baby, I have as much time as before for my work. This has somewhat eased the transition.

Today was the first day taking care of the baby by just the two of us. I cooked, bottlefed him formula, changed a diaper and did registration paperwork. If I hadn't been doing that, I'm not sure if I'd been working or just wasting time on something else.

One thing I hadn't completely realized was that being the breastless parent, you can't really do everything for the baby. There's formula you can feed of course, but it's apparently better to use breastmilk as much as possible. The baby also doesn't seem to be quite as satisfied with a plastic bottle of formula as the real thing.

I feel like I'm not really allowed to comment much on parenting, as 80% of the work is done by my wife, not me. And for the first 2 weeks, maybe 15% of the remaining work was done by my mother-in-law. Maybe after some more time passes I'll try to write a proper blog post about this.

Sleep schedule of a baby is such that every 2-3 hours he wakes up and starts making dissatisfied grunts. Feed, possibly change diaper and soon he gets sleepy again. I've spent just the normal (short) hours working on my stuff, even having time to read some tutorials, study Japanese and take trips to the beach for swimming. But this might be just a temporarily happy situation, will have to see.

Now cue the people about to comment "oh no you don't know how hard it will get soon!". Maybe. But this is what it's been like in the beginning for us so far. I just wanted to contribute a positive non-scary experience.

This. Was. Not. Supposed. To. Happen. (Quoting ZeroHedge.)

Worth noting: in the past few weeks, Chinese government tried very hard to stop the fall and prevent a crash - preventing selling by large stock holders, criminalizing short-selling, ordering stock buybacks, outright buying stocks, relaxing margin requirements, stopping IPOs, ...

Obviously, that's not a viable long term solution.
Ah, I see it's been partially fixed. The source code sections no longer require scrolling sideways to see it all, at least.

Is there anyone else reluctant to open a pdf from the NSA?
I agree with you. I guess only time will tell. But just to speculate maybe Schäuble is really arrogant and he knows no one would believe Varoufakis. Maybe he said that in a very diplomatic way and Varoufakis was quoting what he believe the minister said. It is also naive to think that the french would be completly in the dark about german intentions. That's why Hollande is completly against the Grexit. But you are right its implausible, and even if true Varoufakis lost his oportunity. I do believe that there are some forces looking forward to implement a fiscal union and that they are unstoppable. I only wish they do not seek to prostrate europe to achieve their goal.

Absolutely agreed; I was reading about such medical expert systems in the 80s. I know it's a political issue... unfortunately, I don't see anything smaller than an Apple or Google able to take on it.

A possible alternative might be a startup willing to offer such services to third-world countries that have really bad medical systems (which in turn would mean not enough political power to prevent it). Unfortunately, I don't know if there are enough money in such a venture - definitely nowhere near the current "get $1B quickly" trend.
Thanks, that's an excellent response!

Assuming a constant density of earth like stars, a density of 200 earth likes in a 1500 light year sphere would mean one earth like in 250 light year sphere.

Assuming a disk instead, it would be about 100 light years.

Don't know how it relates to the local star neighbourhood...

Nice tone. But if you read my comment you realize I make a point of bad selection, that's where bad management comes from. Also, good managers end up being bad simply because they need to game a broken system to stay afloat. Mine is an opinion, though.

I find the adjustment of LTV by 0.75 to be a smart shortcut. You could probably spend hours and hours of calculating just to reach an average of 0.8342 or something, though the exact number wouldn't make much difference to your CAC spending.
You need to make sure your contact details are still valid so they can find you if you do get matched.
The font files that have been created are copyrightable. Fonts have been classified as computer programmes and as such are afforded copyright protection.

However, the font itself is long out of copyright, so that you or I could create our own version of the font from printed samples by digitising the font.

This happens all the time.

The other issue is that sometimes trademarks can get involved. In that the name of the font could be trademarked and thus the font offered some small protection in that it's hard to then find a duplicate font because it has to be called something different.
This exploit was mostly used to hit Twitch streamers. People whose job involves using their Steam account. They had hours of reduced revenue due to this attack and I find it unlikely that Valve will even acknowledge any opportunity costs, let alone reimburse them.
I've bailed on multiple sites that do the interstitial "Get Our App" page as well as multiple sites that show a sticky banner ad that takes up 1/4 of the viewport and have an X button that doesn't work.

Seriously, none of us want your poorly made app that needs 100 different permissions to install and sucks up our battery. Pinning the bookmark to our homescreen generally works better (seriously, try it with Facebook and enjoy your 10% longer battery).

I could argue that all the inventions I mentioned violated one existing theory or another at the time of their creation, though the level of scientific reasoning behind each is different. Remember that at one time, many believed that heat was an element released from logs by fire, which is a theory clearly violated by the incandescent light bulb, and other earlier examples of incandescence (such as that of other heated metals).

Regardless, how is it relevant whether a large group of people made a mistake (by coming up with an incorrect theory) before an invention that had no basis in existing theory was made? I do not agree with the premise of the post I responded to, as a new drive does not necessarily contravene existing theories (since we do not understand its principle of operation).

I agree that contravening an existing theory is a bit of an odd course for an inventor to take, and may make it difficult to get angel funding, but that's about the only difference I can see.

Getting the word out seems to be the hardest part. Articles typically scroll through HN so fast that it doesn't really help, plus it's probably not the audience for many apps. Reddit has small communities but they won't make you.

China lacks innovation and innovation culture, for now. If they don't get that solved, they will not grow as much as they did during the last 40 years. They need to find ways to climb up the value added chain, innovation and know how would be the best way, but let's see how they play this out. They have a huge market though, so there is that.
DSGE models are precisely "dynamic discrete-time simulations with evolving state" and they are the workhorse of modern macro.
Chinese have a cultural bias to save money. This was a problem in the past because vast quantities of cash were stuck in the "mattress" sort of speak. They encouraged people to invest their money in stocks, and that led to the bubble that is crushing now.
But that is usually driven through it being brought up in the US. Sort of like it culturally seeps through

Your boss is stupid. Does he want you to come in and cough your filthy germs into the rest of the office, or to take the day off entirely? There are plenty of states of "sick" where I'm not going to the office (contagious, constant need for the bathroom, headache exacerbated by fluorescent lights) but could get most or even all of a regular days work done at home.
Once again, the problem is determining a 'fair, economically justifiable valuation' that a majority can agree on... generally a definition of this is the current stock price.

Same here - in fact, I've had to say this to members of my own team recently. It's strictly forbidden by HR - if you're sick, you take days off until you're better, so you are not putting yourself at risk of getting worse/prolonging the issue by not getting the rest you need. WFH is not there as a handy tool to avoid recording sick leave.

What I find more worrying is mining and oil companies doing big layoffs and postponing investments at this very moment ( partly due to overproduction on anticipation on Chinese demand ).

Well done on posting this! it's a great way to learn and share your experience of learning new languages and get feedback. (just take the comments by face value without any sentiments, you should learn from them, not make them discourage you, ignore "my eyes are bleeding" type of comments or "Scala is sooo complexxx" unless they have some really constructive criticism in them...)

One tiny cosmetic suggestion that popped to my eyes since you asked for comments :)

def parseInputRange (s: String): Array[Int] = {
val ab = s.split(":").map(_.toInt)
(ab(0) to ab(1)).toArray
}

the `to` method is inclusive on the end of the range, so it is the same as until x + 1

Good luck!
