What's most epic about this is it's in the UNIX Hater's Handbook. One of its rants was how better-designed systems would warn you if you were going to nuke your whole system. The reason is that a command to wipe the whole system was more likely a mistake than developer or admin's intent. UNIX would do it without blinking. Inherently unsafe programming and scripting combined with tools like that meant lots of UNIX boxes went kaput.<p>And today, over <i>two decades later</i>, a person just accidentally destroyed his entire company with one line without warnings on a UNIX. History repeats when its lessons aren't learned. This problem, like setuid, should've been eliminated by design fairly quickly after it was discovered.<p><a href="http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=538" rel="nofollow">http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=538</a><p>EDIT: Added link to ESR's review of UNIX Hater's Handbook which links to UHH itself. Nicely covers what was rant, what was fixed, and what remains true. Linking in case people want to work on the latter plus my sour relationship with UNIX. :)

They compile to the same bytecode, but some languages may have features that compile to a lot more bytecode than others. A dynamic language such as Clojure, for example, is definitely slower than Java, although they are both JVM-based, because it has to do a lot more.

To add to this, a lot of what compilers decide is undefined isn't bizarre corner case code that rarely happens, but common and useful techniques that the compiler will happily demolish without warning. The 'defined' workarounds, however, are usually difficult, less safe, harder to understand, and often slower. This is without getting into the nightmare that is LTO finding 'undefined' behavior across program boundaries.

I have long wished nodejs provides such helpful info, e.g. when I use the nodejs APIs I can get hints on the syntax and even some concise demo for usage, instead of opening a webpage and read online each time. Both python and PHP provide man pages for all their APIs etc, but no such thing for nodejs yet.

I used to be a die hard console loyalist, mainly because it was pretty much the only way to play the games I like (2D and 3D fighting games).<p>But these days, pretty much all of the biggest name fighting game franchises outside of Tekken and Virtua Fighter (unless you count Dead or Alive as a substitute) are available as native games on PC via Steam or the Windows App Store (Killer Instinct).<p>It's way easier and cheaper using Steam to run games on multiple machines, plus I can basically bring games with me on my laptop. I don't think I could ever go back to a console.

My guess is that many of the optimizations causing increasing trouble were introduced to improve C++ code performance in pursuit of the "zero-cost abstraction" goal. But many are just as applicable to C (and may even be below the level that a compiler like gcc or clang knows the difference).

I don't know if it's because I convinced myself a long time ago that I'll never be smart enough to write correct C/C++ code (though that hasn't (yet) stopped it from being my primary development language) or if it's because I just because I'm a secret masochist, but I disagree with this proposal/suggestion.<p>Regardless of who is right and who is wrong in this matter, I think if everyone took a step back we could at least agree that it makes absolutely no sense to fix this on a (single Linux) distribution level. For Debian to configure/patch compilers on their platform to "narrow" undefined behavior is insane and ineffectual. Software isn't "validated" on/against a particular OS, it's validated on a compiler basis.<p>Breaking this assumption introduces a massive schism. While Debian is an amazing distro with plenty of clout (I'm a FreeBSD guy, but Debian comes second), it's terrifying to imagine a new generation of "cross-platform" C/C++ software that can only be verified working on Debian (or with Debian's fork/re-configured compiler). We've come so close to making truly cross-platfrom C++ code a reality (even bringing Windows, I repeat WINDOWS, into the fold) with C++11 (and the subsequent releases) and it's, in my humble opinion, utter folly to try and change the way code will fundamentally compile <i>depending on the distribution you run</i>.<p>If Debian cares, make a proposal to the C++ committee, bribe^H convince members to see their way (or threaten^H blackmail^H show them the dangers of continuing down the road they're on). Heck, fork C/C++ and call it E or C+++ or c-safe or something - or more reasonably - write a tool to convert C to rust or D-without-the-standard-library and announce only tools in that/those languages will be allowed in the standard distribution. But for Heaven's sake, please don't try to redefine C.

I have one-kilo as being 35.27-ounces - and an ounce of gold costing roughly $1000 USD. If true, 30 million worth of gold in one-kilo bars would be 850 bars; meaning a lot appear to be missing.<p>Also, 342 one-kilo bars at $1000 USD an once appears to be worth $1.2 million, not $2 million.<p>Possible math/logic is flawed, or I'm missing something, but often found people say numbers that if hashed out don't add up.

The primary use of questions during an interview is to actually determine if the employer is a good fit for you.<p>Your advice seems to take a different approach -- that you shouldn't use questions as a means to ensure you will be happy in the job, but rather as yet another opportunity for status signalling.<p>Even the first sentence depicts a totally alien attitude to me: "questions that really hit home with the employer are..." ... What? I have no obligation to ask questions that "hit home" with the employer. If the employer doesn't like the questions I <i>do</i> ask, well that right there is a good indication that I would be miserable working for them and should just work elsewhere.<p>By approaching even the part of the interview where <i>you</i> get to steer the topics of discussion (your questions) with an attitude of infinite pliability and fealty, it makes the process even more about subjugation and hoop-jumping than it already is.

I guess it's not Textmate VS Sublime Text anymore. It's VS Code versus Atom. While it's always good to have some competition, I also hate it to see awesome features present in one, but not the other. Well, if I'd have to pick one (and actually the only one that kept me with Sublime for this long), it would be speed.

There is a book called the Psychedelic Explorer's Guide, by James Fadiman, which among other things contains the results of some psychedelic studies that were done in the 1960s before it was all banned. The executive summary is that long-term changes in behavior frequently occurred, and they were overwhelmingly positive: increased conscientiousness, openness towards others, self-love, diminishing unhealthy fears and behaviors. Really quite amazing stuff.

This may be a case where the companies largely follow the funding as opposed to the companies following specific industries. The money is largely coming from public funding, and from Dan Gilbert (and similar investors) who are dedicated to growing the area. As far as I can tell, surprisingly few of the startups are automotive related.

The machines and the devices to gather that energy are going to have to be brought from Earth. Sure, it's eminently doable. We'll have to see what's most economical at first, in context.<p>But what if I told you that there were creatures and plants there that literally excreted locally high concentrations of water? Wouldn't we be champing at the bit to extract that water? What if I also told you that those creatures and plants carry no contamination/ecological worries, because they're humans and their crops?

Knowing almost nothing about Kobe Bryant (I haven't followed the NBA for years), it looks like there's an interesting trend in 3 point attempts. At any given year of his career, the distribution of 3 point shots <i>made</i> compared to other shots made seems fairly balanced, as one might expect.<p>However, the number of <i>attempted</i> 3 point shots (or 3 pointers missed) seems to rise significantly in the latter half of his career. I wonder if there's something to be said about an increase of confidence (deserved or not) behind the 3-point line, and whether that extra point outweighs the increased likelihood of missing as an overall statistic (obviously it could make the difference between winning and losing in a single game). Or perhaps it's indicative of a trend for the NBA overall with more 3 point attempts in recent years. Or I could be seeing something in the data that isn't there.

Bullshit. This is coming from John McCain-style neoconservatives and democrats that don't lean liberal on civil liberties.<p>In my opinion, the only political identity that you might hope would fight back are Tea Partiers, and that's the same group that feels strongly about gun rights. I don't think you could be more wrong.<p>It will be interesting to see what Cruz does here when inevitably questioned about it. Will he alienate his new neoconservative base on this issue? Will he stick to his Tea Party roots?

Here's the problem: most VC firms understand that 9/10 investments will fizzle out or make modest returns. 1/10 is the unicorn, the 100x. Everything depends on finding the unicorn and growing it like a weed, so every investment has to be treated like a unicorn - grow fast grow large NOW NOW NOW - whether it's actually beneficial for the company or not.<p>There's so much money sloshing around in the valley that when stupid apps that make no money like Yo or Yik Yak get enough attention, there is inevitably ONE investor who will think "what the hell, if I throw in 10k it could end up becoming the next Instagram or snapchat." As long as people keep joining, more investors will pile in, then the VCs, then Titans like Google will hopefully have their eyes on a shiny new acquisition.<p>The focus on huge fast returns when they seem to be happening all around you inevitably crowds out investments in companies that can create modest growth from real profit, and it makes investing in "slow" companies downright unfashionable.<p>To inverse the old Wall Street expression: "Nobody ever got rich from buying Big Blue."

I can understand the SaaS business model where you lose money in the short term to acquire customers, because that customer will be worth money over the next four to six years. If you are expanding aggressively, you will be losing money as a company for sales and marketing in order to acquire many long-term customers.<p>But I don't understand why Digital Ocean should be losing money. Unless I am mistaken, they do not seem to be spending on sales in order to acquire long-term customers. If they are losing money on operations, then doesn't that mean their business model is broken?<p>Perhaps they lose money on small-scale hosting as a marketing expense in order to acquire big long-term customers? Or perhaps they have big capital expenditures for data centers? Otherwise, this doesn't look good for Digital Ocean.

<i>"Autistic people don't choose to not care"</i><p>I accidentally got in a condition that can be compared to the ones describing autism. I remember how it is to be emotional but I choose not to go back (even if theoretically it is in my power). Autism has its drawbacks but it also has its perks. There may be others like me who actually just choose not to care (emotionally) or not to become a(n emotionally) caring person.

The problem is that that work seems essentially unlimited (you can invent crazier and crazier possibilities that you need to check for), and doesn't seem to be something that we do so much for physical intrusions which nevertheless have the same features (you can find keys, take copies of keys, even change locks or cut make false walls / doors).<p>Your infrastructure should aim to be robust against people persisting themselves (in this case, something that allows an employee to persist themselves beyond the validity of their credentials is a serious problem whether the hacker does it or not). Where it is not, that's your failing. Charging the hacker for finding out where your infrastructure is failing is perverse since if anything their attack made it easier to spot a failing. If they did persist themeselves, then obviously the cost to fix that belongs on the hacker, but the cost to identify such things is something you should be doing anyway.

Rigidity and consistency are not always bad things. They can help prevent bugs, security vulnerabilities, and they drastically reduce complexity of implementation.<p>JSON might often be too rigid, but I think it's important to note that "easier" (in that you don't need to learn the syntax) isn't always better.

Oh, I know you saw it. Was just saying he corroborates your opinion. Especially...<p>"It is basically a public admission that the Government is completely ineffective with anything vaguely resembling a competent criminal. It makes me question if we are allocating law enforcement resources correctly."<p>...that. You'd think that with this level of incompetence a few banks could straight up foreclose on millions of mortgages cooked up Enron style. Hell, they might one-up Paul Le Roux by buying or installing a Treasury head. At this rate, you'd think they'd cut a deal for immunity while keeping lots of money due to less recklessness. They might even use the complexity of their operations to negotiate for more money to prevent fall-out coming back on everyone else. Might cost $1-6 trillion dollars in such a scenario.<p>I know that sounds far-fetched. Our government employs many smart, capable people in FBI and SEC that could certainly stop it. I'm just... paranoid... that the Le Roux case means bigger things might be going on that would do way more damage than addicts getting drugs reliably.

Hey! I worked on something like this on my senior year project! At the time we didn't have easily available SoCs like the Raspberry Pi or a 'strong' smartphone app ecosystem we could use to make it as easily connected as things are today. We used an Arduino hooked up to a laptop with a simple demo app that changed humidity, temperature and lighting conditions for different plants.<p>I always wondered whether or not the idea was viable. Good luck with this, I'll be watching with interest.<p>You know I'd imagine you can do lots of cool stuff with this nowadays. Maybe have a camera in there to see how the plants are doing, etc.

Obviously I can't say for sure, but it <i>seems</i> more genetic.<p>In my family my mother and one of my brothers is this way, and my daughter didn't have much chance of not being this way (since my wife is such as well).<p>Excluding the ladies for the sake of discussion, my brother and I would be the targets of your question.<p>Neither of us would have resisted such societal pressure as we don't have any reason to. Although we were both in the gifted program, so we had enough confidence to not really care what society thinks :)<p>Also, I don't know that we necessarily <i>expressed</i> emotions any more than our peers. The social sharing of emotions seems to be more a female role in society, but our social handling of emotions would be considered normal.<p>The difference between the men in the women who are like this is quite interesting. While I feel others' emotions strongly, it doesn't affect my thinking. Whereas with my wife we she feels someone else's emotions it clouds her thinking.<p>I don't have the citation off-hand, but this aligns with several studies of how men and women's brains are wired a little differently.<p>The nuance between feeling others' emotions strongly (or not) and having emotions affect your thinking (or not) is probably where the line between the autism spectrum and gender differences lies, although of course, there are exceptions.
