But no cop (or few cops) are dumb enough to outright say, "I arrested Mr Foo because he was a mouthy little bastard." Instead, you become just one of the N drivers for whom an expired inspection sticker or failure to stay in marked lanes becomes a citation (and maybe a tow) instead of a warning. Good luck proving a causality between your specific attitude or choice to exercise your rights and the outcome of the traffic stop.

For the wide variety of cases where there is discretion afforded the officer in the field, you can antagonize someone who has a great deal of discretion in how the rest of your day will unfold, or you can be polite and civil.

I choose polite and civil and have had overwhelmingly neutral-to-positive outcomes from my encounters with police. And I'm talking getting stopped for passing people across an intersection, 25 over on a highway, expired registration/inspection, open exhaust, a suspended license, and once even being caught smoking the tires and doing donuts in a public parking lot. (I often drove like a jackass a decade ago.)

You can exercise your rights to their fullest extent and take what you get, or you can "hack" the system to your advantage by being quiet, civil, and respectful.

That statistic is misleading. Much of that change is the result of mergers. Just take a look at the list from 1955: http://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500_arch... . Just looking through the top 25, the vast majority still exist in some form in the Fortune 500 today. Only a few have flat out gone out of business (e.g. Bethlehem Steel) or been booted from the Fortune 500 because the overall industry shrank (e.g. pretty much the rest of the steel companies).

Being in technology, which changes so rapidly, it's easy to think that "small companies overtaking big companies" is the norm, but if you look at more "static" industries, the leaders back in 1955 (e.g. Exxon Mobile, Kraft, Proctor and Gamble) are still the leaders today.
Ah ok. Appreciate that detail. My concept was replacing inline assembler in an otherwise portable 3GL with LLVM bytecode. The compiler wouldve taken care of ABI in that scenario. LLVM should be easier to optimize than C and maybe fast enough to eliminate need for several different assemblers.

What do you think of that?
A Similar thing happened to me in Australia. I was visiting a friend in another city. Since I was unfamiliar with the route I was driving a bit slowly (about 5 to 10 km under limit) looking for my turn off. An (unmarked) car was behind me. There were two lanes of traffic. The car sat on my tail so I slowed down further to let them pass. Nothing they continued to sit on my tail so I sped up again. As soon as I sped up siren comes on I get pulled over 'for driving erratically'. The police officer asked to see my license. It shows my address listed as a different city and she accepts my explanation of being unfamiliar with the road and lets me go.

It felt like entrapment at the time tailing someone with the intent to pull them over.

Around here Police shootings are rare. The exception is one of our states, Victoria. It has kind of turned into a bit of joke on the media - "don't go to Victoria or you'll get shot by the police" sort of thing.

You've apparently missed the last 10-15 years of web development. The web is no more about static content these days as cars are about horses.

I was always taught to respect others and respect authority. In a civilized world, you should be civil to everyone. I would no sooner mouth off to a cop as I would mouth off anyone else. It's disrespectful and speaks volumes about the person spouting off and nothing about who he's going off on.

Respect and civility to everyone is a higher cause. To even think of doing otherwise is beyond right thinking.
I'm not sure that's what I would call an integration... AWS provides for easy host management and elastic scaling traditionally through the integration of the ELB with autoscale groups, and now with life-cycle hooks. I'm not aware that kubernetes integrates with this stuff in any way or provides a sufficient alternative. Reading through the documentation I was not able to find information about connection draining on rolling updates, taking hosts out of service for maintenance/scaling/replacement, and so on. I am aware that kubernetes will run on AWS now and there is a guide for setting it up.

However this really wasn't the point of my comment, which is that security for application secrets(and AWS API access) is currently a sore spot. It would be nice if kubernetes would adopt some of hashicorps stuff like consul, templates, and vault. Maybe that's too far up the container stack though and a popular bundling of technologies will appear.
Web design.

Back in 1995, it seemed obvious that any idiot with a text editor could write their own HTML page. Why would they want to pay someone else to do it?

I still cringe when I think that a friend interviewing with a web design agency asked my opinion and I told her that this HTML authoring business had no basis, and she turned down the job.
Sure, but an overwhelming part of file sharing still takes place under BitTorrent, with the web just being a glorified link farm for it.
Also on my agenda, which is an interesting situation for me because I'm a heavy user.

I think it is a great way to stay up-to date on what happens in startup-land and in open source, the granularity with which you can follow people still fascinates me. Seeing that 95% of what active human accounts post is pretty useless, I don't see justification of a $20bn+ market cap, especially without growth.

I'm sure during the Pax Romana a lot of people felt the same, or even after the First world war. After the plagues in the middle ages resources were abundant for everybody, even peasants..

we are no different than then, sure we think nowadays technology seems able to change everything, but before it was the same. Humans have always been innovating and increasing efficiency, yet they have always been fighting.
While Siddartha Gautama had funding, Jesus Christ did not.
I think that this is a misuse of 'right' in an important way. Rights are things that you have innately, not things that you are given; your rights can be abused or abrogated, but not taken away. Thinking of rights as things that are given to you, I believe, makes it easier on some subtle, even just linguistic, level to stop fighting for them when a purely philosophically committed person might fight on.

With that said, I agree that it is important to distinguish the practical consequences of exercising your rights from their philosophical consequences, though: while you should be able to behave in a lawful manner to police officers without fear of reprisal, it is important to realise that you probably can't.
No, that's not what she said. It's a bit of hyperbole on my part. And like I said it's not an overt problem with attendant issues, no binging or black outs. And it doesn't come up that often.
Please excuse my ignorance, and please correct me so I may learn, as I have no idea about fonts except that I simply them in my editors :)

The inspiration of M+ 1m + Pragmata Pro is very interesting and make for a powerful font.

Do you anticipate further font development, driven by the same code-generated workflow, attempting to tackle modernization of something like the venerable Misc Fixed 13pt, which needs an update for modern screens and/or resolutions?

Then, there's the Apple Menlo/Monaco, Ubuntu Mono and derivatives, as well as Consolas and its derivatives which tend to focus on wider glyphs , as opposed to the narrowness and (longer?) line-heights of similar fonts to M+ 1m / Pragmata Pro? It would be interesting to see if newer fonts can evolve from this approach.

Thanks for a great project!
Oh, don't misunderstand me. I'm not suggesting bad cop behavior should be "cut a break". I'm just saying cops are humans... just like you and I. For this alone they are worth a certain measure of respect.

Also, they have job that requires them to interface with human trash for much of their working day. Although in a perfect world it shouldn't, this might tend to make someone a little grumpy and hostile toward others.

I'm not excusing the fact that the job probably attracts more than it's share of psychopathic bullies. Nor any of the misdeeds. But in order to improve the situation we should take a realistic and humane look at what cops are seeing. And we should demand the type of cops that take exactly the same approach towards their "clients".

There's a big big difference between what's polite and what's legal.
Hi, I’m Ben… and I Don’t Travel the World for Free
Part of right thinking, I feel, is recognising the rights others have even outside your own philosophical framework. I completely agree with being civil to everyone, as far as possible—though, at a certain point, I think that an emotional response to uncivil provocation can be excused. With that said, I also feel that I should recognise others' rights to exercise their, well, rights, even when I disagree with them. As GBS said, "The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him; the unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself. All progress depends on the unreasonable man."
Plasma Mobile, KDE Based Mobile OS
NVIDIA releases Linux and BSD drivers every month together with the Windows drivers (Linux drivers are released 1 week earlier usually)

They aren't GPL but the shader compilers in the drivers are considered "trade secrets" in this industry, AMD doesn't release those under GPL or any other OSS license either.

If you want you have nouveau driers which NVIDIA sorta supports, but they are a piece of crap compared to the "retail" ones.

From testing both NVIDIA and AMD drivers for Steam OS i have to say that NVIDIA is lightyears a head of anything AMD or ATI has ever put out on Linux.
The drivers are stable, allow for overclocking, have full NVAPI support, a much better OpenGL mini driver (only ones to support 4.3) and are even aware of WINE and similar solutions and optimize it in the driver.

Now with NVIDIA buying Transgaming (probably for Tegra based consoles) the support for non-native games will probably even be better, i wont be surprised if enough legal loopholes to be found (Wine has some issues with requiring certain DLL's ;)) to see NVIDIA supports running games with no official linux support through their Geforce Experience software which is now rumored to come out after the trasngaming purchase.

Good for you.

Should disrespectful people be intimidated, arrested, injured or killed because they're not respectful, obedient citizens like you?
The fact that there is a bias between male/female does not suggest that there is not also bias between races within the male group.
Only your last sentence rings at all true to me; lots of people deal with very bad individuals every day, but somehow only the ones whose sworn duty is to serve and protect are the ones killing people over it. I'll consider more than the barest of civility appropriate when they as a culture stop killing people for the temerity to exist while being black.

This isn't a "well, if we're nicer to them, they'll stop hurting people" sort of thing. Expecting the disempowered to be humane towards those with power is at best unrealistic and at worst damaging. Should cops--the people in power--start acting in aggregate like reasonable human beings, then the people without power--everyone else, but especially minorities and the poor--won't have a reason to think that cops are likely to be dangerous to them. The change literally-literally must start with the people with guns and badges, and frankly calls to the contrary feel like useful idiocy.

If you turn on wall you should be warned that you didn’t include the right headers?

I was under the impression that lots of implementations of malloc actually call calloc under the hood. Unless you are calling malloc in a tight loop I can’t see the extra step of zeroing being a issue. In one of my programs where performance is critical I changed over all my mallocs to calloc and couldn’t measure the time change - I did find I had fewer difficult-to-duplicate bugs though.

Edit. Interestingly CERT recommends casting [1]. Seems to solve a much worse issue than forgetting to include stdlib.h

I'm not following your second point. They could offer you the same salary and a bag of potato chips that would vest in 4 years and it still wouldn't be less than your current salary, right?

To your first point, the most conservative advice is to value the equity at zero, particularly if you believe there is a 5 year product lifespan at most, but the modal outcome for equity grants at startups is zero.

I've been at 4 companies that had exits to the public markets. In two of those, I got essentially nothing (but a job offer). In the other two, one was an acquisition by an already public company and the other went IPO. Both of the latter exits were nice, but at employee 41, nothing will be lifestyle-altering.
Cops are people. If you cannot behave like a human you should expect to be treated like a rabid dog. Yes of course there are bad cops, the number of precious little entitled uncivil little snowflakes vastly outnumber those.
The speech-police impulse must truly be powerful, because apparently even you have been unable to resist it! Or is speech metapolicing somehow more valuable? A wise person once told me that "The proper way to converse on HN is to address the content of the comment, not complain that it exists, like speech police." But I digress.

To your point: I think you'll find that I did primarily address the content of the comment, concluding that it drew a false comparison. My suggestion that the comment was probably more inflammatory than valuable was the conclusion of my discussion of the content. I can't quite see that you've given me the same courtesy, though.
NVIDIA was only faster in half/mixed precision compute, in full precision AMD was faster (with the exception of Titan cards besides the Titan X which doesn't have good full precision support either).

AMD has also always loaded the cards with much more RAM (8GB vs 3GB in the previous gen) and with much higher memory bandwidth (512bit vs 384bit), NVIDIA countered it with effective memory management and compression support.

It's a bit funny that in the previous gen AMD boasted that 8GB is needed for 4K while NVIDIA was shipping cards with only 3, now AMD is pointing with a smirk when AMD can't ship it's high end cards with more than 4GB due to current HBM limitations while NVIDIA is shipping 6 and 12GB cards.
Alright, I'll rephrase. There are a zillion differences, but with a couple of minor exceptions, there is very little C++-incompatible C that cannot be straightforwardly expressed as C++-compatible C. I mean, gcc -Wall even turns on -Wc++11-compat and -Wc++14-compat now.

Also, sizeof doesn't behave differently, the arguments that get passed to sizeof are different in a few cases, e.g. sizeof('x'). See Annex C:

My point is, every decent, moral, law-abiding citizen is unconcerned about the need for any article such as this.
Isn't it amazing that code can get to that point? I mean, even insanely complex things like space shuttles/stations are understandable. They're documented, compartmentalized in functionality, and maintainable. If they need to build onto it or swap out some functionality, they can do it. It's pretty sad that we let some software turn into behemoths that don't accept change.
I'm really hoping JetBrains jumps into the .NET market with a C# IDE.
You can believe what you want and believe it is a moral stance, but as a response to the article posted your statement counts as an endorsement of the violent conduct exercised in response to those who do not share your perspective. That fact poses a damning implication on the morality of your beliefs.

Unless you would like to clarify that you respect the rights of those who disagree with you?

The Web is about the interchange of documents, and documents are text.
My future work will be focused on spatial balance and glyph coverage. (I'd want to coverage ALL UNICODE POINTS of Latin/Greek/Cyrillic/IPA, thanks to the building script generating them will be much easier than using a conventional font editor: Just add a mark glyph and all combining glyphs using it will be automatically generated.)

Maybe I can make a library or toolchain after this font is almost completed, as a modernized METAFONT, which produces Opentype directly from your generation source code. And well, in that toolchain, i will not use PatEL since this language has not been documented yet.
There are thousands and thousands of police interactions with the public every day and rarely does such a thing happen. Perhaps your total knowledge of this is based on what you read on HN or news blurbs on your local TV news.
Probably some cops say (or at least secretly think) exactly the same kinds of things you are saying about black people. "If they would just act right... until then, fuck em. They don't deserve respect."

What exactly does acting rudely or disrespectfully in either case achieve?
How bizarre! This reply was meant to a completely different topic, which I also read....
Apologies, this particular article was quite interesting...
> 3. At least in SF you have a pool of clever engineers or cofounders. Its not like that in all places.

I suspect this might be overrated though. In SF you're competing against a lot of people looking for these people, in the midwest or east coast, not only is a lot of talent untapped, but you're competing against fewer people trying to get that talent.
Telling people to be civil and respectful to each other is an endorsement of violent conduct? I think I stumbled on the wrong type of forum.
Replace "history" with any body of knowledge and you get an equally valid truism.
I don't know if I'm in a position to prescribe anything to you, but my first suggestion is to figure out what your goal is. Long term general learning? Learning specific topics? Research? Staying up to date culturally?

Personally I focus on long term learning and highly recommend textbooks for every topic you find that interests you. Textbooks tend to be well-written, highly educational, relatively neutral, and well sourced. They also usually provide incredible context (such as in the form of margin notes) for what is being learned, as opposed to getting stuck in a blog rabbit hole.

I'm not convinced that I wouldn't have just punched that kid in the face...
I get why people want to be in a start-up, but I don't get why a lot of these people won't look at starting their own company that doesn't fit into the "start-up" framework.

Why does everyone have to try to be the next Google?

Why isn't it okay to start a company and just want to build it consistently and be profitable from the start?

I get that it's the nature of the types of businesses that get VC money. I just don't get the hype attached to it.

You are setting yourself up for failure, especially by telling everyone that you are "killing it" and your new product is going to "change the world".

That is just asking for failure. You don't have to "Kill it" to be successful and you don't have to change the world to be a good person.

It actually makes you look naive and stupid when your "start-up" fails because you were bragging about it for the year or two that it existed.
Thanks. I'll take a look on that.
