I think I am one of those who would do it the other way around, from the outside inwards connecting to the outside world first. I already know ALL the I/O for the core is somewhere in the RISC-V design code (exact signal names etc). It has to be in Chisel or something.

I would translate that to VHDL to get my ports. It becomes a stub to build my core-level testbench on. If I can mirror their test environment, I at least have a start point. Maybe I could even reuse their testbench somehow.

Then I'd start duplicating the sub modules and their interconnections in the core. And so on.

Do the tough stuff first then enjoy things getting easier as I go along hopefully!
>It makes Emacs look like ed in comparison, yet without offering any actual improvement in functionality.

Well, it does offer the functionality of being usable integrated environment, which I know a lot of the emacs/vi people dismiss, but it's a very real thing despite those dismissals.

On the other hand, I don't really care much, since I've never had the emacs/vi user disease of insisting that everyone else acknowledge that my opinions are superior.
I'd like to give a big shout-out to Imgix, they've built a truly useful service. Their landing page copy features lines like "You can't build this in a weekend" and "This isn't ImageMagick running on EC2" - and from what I've seen using them, they live up to it. Kudos on a great product, Imgix team (and congrats on the recent funding)!

P.S. We tried using Cloudinary at first, but Imgix turned out to be much easier to manage. A killer feature for us was allowing us to source images from an S3 bucket (a feature Cloudinary only exposes to Enterprise customers).
You're likely correct, but you and I could probably give them a list of 50 things they "can't afford" to be doing in about 10 minutes.

Point is that it's not for us to say what a person does with their money. If the only benefit of this is that it gets a person through college or post college table hopping without a completely destroyed credit, perhaps it is worth the $150.
I could have sworn he wrote a bunch of things late in his life that, when finally published with the rest of his work in the late 20th century, revealed more quantum theory related philosophy.

Unfortunately, I don't have my notes from when I was researching this a few years ago, so I will have to concede that this may be faulty memory attributing things to the wrong individual.

It important to know when it's a company that is portioning out your paycheck. It nothing like the margins on products that you purchase.
While it is probably true that we "can't out-native native" the argument is irrelevant if you consider other more important factors.

The approval process is burdensome and discriminatory if you want to release an app that competes with Apple or goes against one of their policies.

For developers that want to create great mobile user interfaces and Apple won't approve the app, where does that leave us? No user experience or a sub-optimal user experience. If we do what PPK is proposing that leaves us with poor user experiences and maybe no user experience if we need a feature that is only available on native.

Having a web platform that can compete with native apps mitigates the problems and abuses common with companies that have monopolies. If they have competition they can't screw over their developers and user.

30% is an onerous tax. It's one thing if that is a marketing or referral fee. But if a developer is creating an app to use with their own platform / service they are most likely going to provide a download link from their site. They don't need any promotion or directory. Apple isn't providing any value. They are creating an artificial barrier and blocking other companies from serving their users just so they can get a cut of the action.

I've been using ES6 functionality like "yield" in my backend node.js code and am loving it. I would love to have that ability in the browser without having to go through a transpiler.

I want the web to keep pushing forward so that I can deliver better user experiences.

The argument that we need time to catch up and learn the technology seems ridiculous to me considering that the alternative is learning 3 platforms (web, iOS, Android) vs just 1 platform (web). A lot of developers don't want to have to develop for 3 different platforms.

If you can't keep up with all the technologies then become a monk and leave the technology world behind.

Nobody has been able to keep up with all the latest technology trends. Deal with it. Those that want to deliver better user experiences will invest the time to learn the new technologies.

Don't hold back progress just because you have a defeatist, why me, it's not fair, slow down guys, I can't keep up attitude.

Yikes.
Oh no, I always get rid of stuff I don't know why it's there.
Because if it does not break when I run "make check", it's not covered by the testing and it shouldn't have been there in the first place anyway.
And if it had a use for someone, but nobody knows, removing it is also a very efficient way to figure out :)
I didn't believe I'd see the day when a larger Tcl project reaches HN front page. This looks really exciting and ambitious. John Ousterhout mentioned in one of the interviews that he regrets he didn't manage to produce the Tcl compiler while working in Sun.

While in my day to day work I don't feel the need for the compiler (starkits are good enough) it might attract more performance concerned people to this powerful but forgotten language.

For me returning to Tcl is always an immense pleasure. This is what it gives out of the box:

- convenience of bash
- power and elegance of Lisp
- self-containing no-dependency nature of Go
- clarity of Python
- probably unique for the entire industry reliable cross-platform GUI toolkit
- simplicity of Dodecalogue

What Tcl is missing:

- good handle on concurrency in bigger projects (with scale, events lead to spaghetti or mega state machines). I tried to address this one myself by developing Golang/CSP style concurrency library https://github.com/securitykiss-com/csp

- large community

The Colonial Origins of the Greek Bailout
Well, you're conflating various things here:

> One Windows app, deployed everywhere with a focus on productivity and smart services. In no way has there been any capitulation. In fact Microsoft leads the space. Does Apple have universal apps ?

The value of universal apps are debatable, but let's say Microsoft does rule that space. When $some_crazy_high_percentage of delivered phones are android and iOS, the market has spoken - people dont' care about running the same app on their phone and their desktop. Even if Microsoft successfully makes a shift to offering their app development platform on iOS and Android, they're now doing that from a position of weakness. There's certainly money to be made there, but its the difference between a serf and a lord. Microsoft is the lord of its own domain when they control the phone platform, and is a serf in Apple's.

But then you switch to something else:

> And does Apple or Google have an equivalent to Azure's strategic analytics plays ? No.

But that's an entirely different rodeo than the whole thrust of the article, which is the declining dominance of the PC and Microsoft's lack of success in the mobile space. Apple doesn't even care about the enterprise computing space from that perspective, and Amazon absolutely does want to offer those analytics - it's an entirely different set of competitors.

So, sure, yes, Microsoft is doing cool stuff with Azure, which is great, maybe that's the future of the business. But that's a very different business than owning 90-something percent of the software powering every personal computing device in the world.

The algorithm is a key component of the actual product they are selling to their customers. It's reasonable for customers to ask for a reasonably complete description of that product (note: your parent isn't asking for source code).

Even's algorithm is not comparable to actuararial predictions and it is not comparable to spread; both of the former are primarily useful to investors and executives, whereas Even's algorithm is primarily useful information for customers. It might be easier to infer Even's spread if you knew the algorithm, but the algorithm and Even's spread aren't one and the same.

Per your example, it's easier to infer a Big Mac's spread if you know they're using real meat or to infer a car's spread if you know the seats are real leather. But that doesn't give those companies a positive reason to not disclose the approximate contents of their meat patties or the material their luxury seats are made of.
That's the point. Those apps will never make sense on a desktop and just drives home the point that touting universal apps & easy porting of mobile apps to desktop is pointless.
Perhaps it would surprise you that we have those publications here in the US too. You might also be surprised that the rest of the world has the New York Times.
I would be shocked if that were possible to do.
> Huh? Is this service for people who can't get bank accounts?

No; need a bank account to use the service. (It also sounds from the Terms of Service -- which are oddly ambiguously worded -- like you may need to have online access to your account and share your credentials with Even.)
Fair enough, but you are at no time less than whole here, so how they decide to split your cash isn't much different than you deciding to buy product a over product b.
No, we do not earn interest on the savings. The bank does.

Yup, its the defacto scripiting language for games.
I don't feel that most of the people this service is targeting even knows what a CD is, but I'm pretty sure a lot of them are familiar with payday loans. Unless I'm missing something this service definitely seems a lot less evil than a payday loan.

Their competition - payday loan companies - are bad enough that none of that matters as long as they manage to satisfy enough loud customers. Ever hear of this company called Uber?
But there is no point in investing very much in a stagnate mature market to either maintain or disrupt it. So technology action will move elsewhere, like phone (which is almost mature, or cloud, which is still kind of young). Chromebooks were a pretty gutsy move by Google in this regard, but it was really just a services play for them.

People would often mis-understand post PC to mean "death of the PC" but really, it just meant "death of the interesting PC market where new money could be made."

Agreed, yargs (the CLI app that this was built for) has very basic requirements -- there are only a few dozen strings in the entire codebase.

Having said this I did make an effort to learn from prior work in the area, basing the library on: https://github.com/mashpie/i18n-node

A friend of mine who did a thorough literature review at PayPal also advocated formatjs.io -- although I think this is a little bit too much power for little old yargs.

The ABC show "What would you do?" actually did a bit about bike thieves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ABRlWybBqM

I don't really consider the show to be scientific, it's purely anecdotal, but it's definitely kind of interesting.
True, I guess it entirely depends on their average algorithm. However, if they are paying the boosts out of previously saved money then they this a managed bank account. If they are paying the boost on the assumption that it will be paid off in the future then they this is a loan. Either one is required to spell out the exact terms in a clearer way than Even's very simplistic FAQ page.

It just rubs me the wrong way that too often these days disruption amounts to "I am going to go in to X line of business, ignore the law, and pocket all the money any competitor would have to pay to comply with regulations."
Google, Apple, Samsung, and perhaps Microsoft are about to enter an arms race with smartwatches. Progress will be made fast. This won't take 2 or 3 decades.

I'm not sure how much views get lost, but I wonder is it worth it? There is a short video as introduction which doesn't tell much, I'd much prefer a random video from the series.

Now by making these private, no one will find this from youtube, other sites won't link it and there is no playlist so I will have to click each url every 5 minutes or so, which is not the end of the world, but not fun.

He could have asked for my email for the project files(videos and project files get sent to your email currently as I understand it), and gave videos for free. Anyone actually interested in this would definitely give their email for the files. If he wants my email to teach me something else later -- or sell me something, I think someone who entered their mail while watching the series will be more interested in what he could use the emails for, and now he won't be able to reach these kinds of people from random views, in exchange for the initial email count.

I don't think this is a nice deal, but I have no data, so just an opinion. Maybe something to consider.
Oh, my bad. I should not put bug reporting and compliments in the same post.

Just to be clear, you deposit this money into bank accounts and then allow the bank to retain interest owned, with no part coming back to Even?

That seems either extremely generous, tremendously stupid, or frankly, a little shady.

You wouldn't happened to be owned in whole or in part by this same bank, would you? Do you receive other, unrelated back channel income from your partners in relation to Even?

Why Grooveshark Failed: The Wild West days of the web are over
I think we will see the traditional business desktop replaced with docking station with smartphone as processing unit. Ubuntu kind of had the right idea with the way Ubuntu phone morphed from a mobile oriented OS to a desktop oriented OS when plugged into dock, screen, and keyboard. For 99% of business uses this would be sufficient power. The remaining 1% would keep their traditional desktops.

I'm actually really surprised Apple hasn't gone down this road as it would be a really easy way to increase OS X market share if every iPhone suddenly became a Mac when plugged into a dock.
Maybe space tourism increases public interest in interstellar travel?
The difference here is that Uber had a lot of happy customers (taxi riders with better UX and a cheaper ride) and not-terribly-unhappy employees (erm, independent contractors). In the Uber case, regulators had to stare the absurdity of their regulation in the face.

If everything goes well for Even's customers, it's unlikely regulators will bother stepping in. But if everything doesn't go well, then Even is going to have a lot of pissed off customers and very few people in its corner. In a hypothetical Even case, regulators would get to cry "See! Look at all these examples of why we really need regulation!"

Furthermore, regulation arbitrage doesn't always work out, even when your customers love you (e.g., Aereo).

edit: also, unlike taxis, I assume avidly pro-consumer regulators already would love to squash payday loan companies but don't have the power to do so. Lumping yourself in as a "slightly better payday loan company" is like painting a target on your back. Seems like Even would want to distance themselves from that association as much as possible...

How would you better invest $150 to improve your money management?
The bit I was replying to was a hypothetical situation where QA does, for some reason, find the flaw but management rejects it because it doesn't match a bullet point in the requirements. My point was just that if that's not in the requirements then you have even bigger problems. I never claimed or even implied (because I don't believe) that writing down that requirement would actually achieve anything.

I used to be a really large fan of RSS because it fulfilled the dream of bringing hand-picked content to the user, in one place. Why go to all the separate websites? Why have an app for EACH new agency. I can search, sort, see when articles were published, all from the comfort of a single web page or desktop client! RSS even seemed to have pretty wide adoption. That orange button was everywhere! My non-techie friends even used Google Reader circa 2006-2008.

However, my love of RSS is really just a historic relic of becoming interested in computers between 2001 and 2005. Before that was Usenet and other technologies I'm probably unaware of. RSS has since been replaced by Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, Google Plus, etc. Someone needs to pay the bills and it's a lot easier to monetize when you keep users in your walled gardens and control what they see. These newer technologies are also MUCH easier to use for the average consumer and have the net-benefit of being "social" which is likely beneficial for the ad conglomerates.

Companies who create (or curate or distribute) content are fundamentally at odds with their users. Users want relevant, high quality, add-free content, but most are not willing to pay for it. If they do, they expect a fine-tuned user experience or physical product (a magazine or Amazon Kindle for example). Even paid subscription magazines (NewScientist, Time, etc.) have ads to help keep their pricing competitive and increase quarterly profits for investors. Hell, even my Kindle (which I PAID for) came with ads. Granted, Amazon gave me the ability to remove them for $20. But, that gives you an idea of how valuable ads are. I never understood why more websites didn't just include ads in their RSS feeds. Easier to filter out? Less control since the user isn't visiting the site?

I'd be MORE than willing to pay for RSS or NNTP feeds of high quality content. To me, there is no better user experience than reading format-free text and images in Gnus, but I imagine I'm in the minority. Average consumers (my parents, non-tech friends, etc.) are more than willing to visit cnn.com in their browsers or dedicated phone app. Most people simply don't care enough. I feel like I'm constantly trying to chase the conversation of the topics I'm interested in by stringing together mostly-incompatible technologies and work flows.

I'd really just like the ability to read, annotate, comment on, share, and discuss media with people who are also interested.
Thanks for the clarification. That's how I read it.
