Check out the Main Line. It comprises the nicest suburbs in the area. Affordable enough on a dev-salary. Best place in the area for a family - very safe. And many companies line the Main Line up through King of Prussia (also a decent area).

If you want to live in the city, I highly recommend Logan Square/Art Museum area or Rittenhouse if you've got the dough. I lived around Logan Square for about a year and I felt incredibly safe even late at night. Northern Liberties is a great place for brogrammers - it was a little too much for me.

It's a good question. The panels are available, for example these: http://www.solimpeks.com/pv-t-hybrid-solar-collectors/

My guess is they're not as popular because the overall installation complexity is much higher: you have to run the piping, and I'm not even sure exactly what you do with the hot water that comes out. There won't be room for it in your existing hot water heater, so you'll need a second tank, and where do you put it? How big does it need to be? And what happens when it fills up? Are the panels cooled only with fresh cold water, or do you reuse the water in the second tank once it's full? And if the latter, what happens when that water gets too hot to use? I guess you'd start letting some of it evaporate -- that'll be the fastest way to get rid of the excess heat, but may be undesirable in a water-poor area; and once you start evaporating water, you have to worry about scale formation.

Probably somebody knows the answers to all these questions, but they're not obvious to me. For new construction, they're probably not that hard to solve, but for a retrofit on an existing house -- which is the vast majority of where the panels are going -- the complexity seems prohibitive.

Somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken!

Yes I'm sure there is some good reason, but considering that solar for water heating - without PV - has been sold for ages already, there should be a market. Let's hope somebody with a real-world understanding of the problem will answer, I'm really curious :)
Tesla already has a lot of technology in their Super Charger stations to control the total charge rate. E.g. if you park right next to another car both will charge slower, because there is a limit in power per 2 adjacent parking spots. The same goes for the total over all spots, if they are all in use, the cars will charge slower.

So having 500 spots in a garage means you'll need to have some technology that is aware of which car is in need of charging and when the owner is expected to return. You can then set dynamic pricing to motivate car owners to charge at the moment you have enough capacity and encourage them not to all request full charge-rate at busy moments in the garage.

While I agree that science is currently seeing only small part of the picture, I don't believe scientists have stopped trying to find explanations.

And what is more important - it's very hard to judge if the explanation is rational. Every science is built on some axioms which define what is rational and what is not. That's why I guess the progress happens step by step (each next step expanding what one would consider rational).

I don't like putting homebrew into /usr/local, because many other installers put stuff in there, often incorrectly, and it sort of acts as a bit of a dumping ground. I install to /homebrew and it works fine. homebrew bitches and moans about not being installed to /usr/local, but it's never been an issue for me -- probably because I use application level package managers (emacs cask, python, opam, &c.) rather than homebrew for those sorts of things.

I still hate homebrew, of course, because it doesn't handle dependencies well at all, but I'm not 100% ready to switch to nix. Maybe that can be my project for the week, actually.

If you're going to count a WHO estimate on lives shortened due to coal power in your fatality statistics, which the author does, it's probably not a good idea to dismiss the equivalent estimate of 4000 for Chernobyl, which the author also does. Even organizations existing to promote atomic energy aren't disputing the validity or relevance of that figure

I mean, if you're doing a sincere comparison with "people whose lives may have been shortened by coal dust" and "back of the envelope guesstimate how many people die installing domestic solar", you simply don't pick "people definitely proven to have died from radiation poisoning at Chernobyl" as your comparison point.

Coal would look remarkably safe (which it isn't) if you required similar standards of proof of coal dust rather than lifestyle factors being the cause of premature death.
This seems to be somewhat ad hominem. Shouldn't software be judged by its own merits as opposed to those of its creator? (even if this is a big deal to you, Homebrew's creator seems to be not nearly as involved as he was initially).

I must disagree with your assessment that Homebrew is focused primarily on webdev. There is rarely any package (webdev-related or not) that I haven't been able to install with it. I'd venture to say that not once over the past 12 months have I had a single problem installing anything.

I'm also curious what pkg_src offers over Homebrew (and vice versa).

Someone graduating with a degree in a technical discipline should have both up-to-the-minute skills in that discipline and also a sophisticated understanding of the theory of the field.

This falls apart at graduation + n years, unless you accept that up-to-the-minute skills must be maintained and regathered as the minutes progress.

If it's possible for an educated mind to continue to keep up-to-date, then one must accept that an educated mind, freshly graduated with a sophisticated understanding of the field can, and probably should, pick up the up-to-the-minute skills as part of the on-the-job training any new graduate acquires.

There's always a ramp-up in any new role, especially so for someone who's never worked professionally before. Given a choice, I'd rather aim for an education providing the depth, and the up-to-the-minute ramp-up happening on the job rather than the other way around, because I've never seen a developer's day job provide any significant theoretical depth beyond what is required to get the job done. If you don't learn how compilers and operating systems and low-level memory management and design patterns and concurrency and big-O notation work before you hit the workforce, you're not very likely to pick all those up at work.
Abstract algebra and group theory. For example strings under concatenation (append) forms a semigroup. Another example is addition of durations (say you are writing scheduling software and want to calculate: 2 days and 3 hours + 4 hours) which I believe forms an abelian group. Finding examples of rings and more complex algebraic structures in programming is left as an exercise for the reader. :)
Reminds me of what Paul Graham wrote:

> Technology should increase the gap in income, but it seems to decrease other gaps. A hundred years ago, the rich led a different kind of life from ordinary people. They lived in houses full of servants, wore elaborately uncomfortable clothes, and travelled about in carriages drawn by teams of horses which themselves required their own houses and servants. Now, thanks to technology, the rich live more like the average person.

> Cars are a good example of why. It's possible to buy expensive, handmade cars that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. But there is not much point. Companies make more money by building a large number of ordinary cars than a small number of expensive ones. So a company making a mass-produced car can afford to spend a lot more on its design. If you buy a custom-made car, something will always be breaking. The only point of buying one now is to advertise that you can.

> Or consider watches. Fifty years ago, by spending a lot of money on a watch you could get better performance. When watches had mechanical movements, expensive watches kept better time. Not any more. Since the invention of the quartz movement, an ordinary Timex is more accurate than a Patek Philippe costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Indeed, as with expensive cars, if you're determined to spend a lot of money on a watch, you have to put up with some inconvenience to do it: as well as keeping worse time, mechanical watches have to be wound.

> The only thing technology can't cheapen is brand. Which is precisely why we hear ever more about it. Brand is the residue left as the substantive differences between rich and poor evaporate. But what label you have on your stuff is a much smaller matter than having it versus not having it. In 1900, if you kept a carriage, no one asked what year or brand it was. If you had one, you were rich. And if you weren't rich, you took the omnibus or walked. Now even the poorest Americans drive cars, and it is only because we're so well trained by advertising that we can even recognize the especially expensive ones.

> What we did is we had them predict on a zero to 10 scale how members of the opposite sex would rate them in terms of their attractiveness

> accuracy was not significantly better than chance

I think this experiment conflates people having different opinions on attractiveness with the inherent difficulty on mapping the attractiveness spectrum onto the scale of 1 to 10.

I'd be interested in an experiment that instead had participants order the attractiveness of many photos from most to least without assigning numbers to them. The photos should range from grotesque to average to supermodels. I think almost everyone would agree on the broad ordering, with some variation in exact ordering.

Then, to capture the personal aspect of the original experiment, subjects could insert themselves into the ranking and see if the opposite sex agrees. My hypothesis is that performance would be far better than chance in this scenario.
No, "-v Bruce" did (forcing the use of the "Bruce" voice, which is in English).
True. Although it would take a LOT of infrastructure work and expense to run power to such a large and dense network of chargers. And realistically, we'd need to meter and charge money for that power, too, so, we also need very smart charging stations. So basically a monumental infrastructure investment.

The LEAF has a 26kW/h battery. Takes me over 20 hours to full charge from a regular outlet and get up to 100 miles range. It's straight physics: longer range requires more time, voltage or current. For anything over a 100 mile charge you'll need a 220v charger installed, and even then you're looking at 16 hour charging for a 400 mile preferred range.
Haha. I've worked from home for years (not always in my undies, but sometimes), and I can guarantee my 401(k) is better than theirs. Love how they say they want "real people" but spend the rest of the ad talking about how they treat people like children (drug test? supervisor that will "push you until you get the job done to our satisfaction?"). Is it a joke? Company seems real despite the funny name.
Naturally it does, because a good typechecker is like an automatic test suite that guides you through refactoring. It means you need fewer unit tests, which means less test code to maintain.

I am working on a Rails project and a Haskell project simultaneously; the Haskell project requires far fewer tests because the compiler can catch so many potential bugs. Then when you add ghci (Haskell REPL) it becomes almost as flexible and exploratory as a dynamic language. Some Haskellers even like to say that TDD stands for Type-Driven Development. Combine that with REPL-driven development, add in property-based generative testing with Quickcheck, and you have a lot of very powerful tools to help you build the thing right.

GHC's implementation of IO isn't the only one possible. For example, if Haskell had only two available IO operations (read a character or print a character), the following would be a workable definition of the IO type:

data IO a = PutChar (Char, IO a)
| GetChar (Char -> IO a)
| Return a

Programs can work by constructing a value of type IO () and defining it as main, just like in regular Haskell. Note that IO is no longer a wrapped impure function, and there are no magical tokens in sight. In fact, the above implementation doesn't even have to be opaque, it can be completely exposed to programmers. Nevertheless, it's just as easy for the runtime to interpret in a sequential way, and there won't be any problems with accidentally optimizing away or memoizing anything.
