I'd echo some of the other answers here, what do you think "architect" means? And then ask what could you do as an architect that you can't do as a developer?

There are places like IBM and Oracle where they have specific job functions defined for the architect role (and training to get you there) so if their idea meets your idea you would do well to just work for a company that trains for that role.

There are also people who have a lot of experience who are sometimes called "architect" but that is a function of how much experience they have, which really you can't push faster than the passage of time. You spend all your days working on the technology and encounter many different situations and then 10 to 15 years later people start thinking of you as an expert/architect.

There are developers who have better design sense. I don't know if that is a talent thing or just that they pay attention to not only what their code is doing but the structure of it and the underlying problems it solves. People will experience their code not only solving the problem but anticipating future problems and either handling them or having a clear evolutionary path to handle them. They start being called architects at some point in their career.

So why do you want to be an architect?

You can do some really interesting things with Tcl-ish technology. It's worth looking into TH1, the stripped-down embedded Tcl that's used by fossil as a macro language:

The problem, yet again, is quarterly earnings reports.

It takes sometimes billions to find the next new drug. In order to keep showing quarter after quarter of sustained growth that investors demand, they have to continue raising prices.

Do you have some sources demonstrating that google and facebook are using them in scaled production? My impression was that presently these were more for research and prototyping.

I would have thought that if you were going to run prod systems in the gpu you would actually write CUDA (C++) or similar to avoid the inefficiency of the abstraction layer.

It's far from being a market-forces driven market. Pharma pricing is a heavily regulated market involving parties which are not the end consumer (Pricing Authorities, FDA, Pharma Companies, Insurance Companies, and sometimes Patient Advocate Groups).

That has about NOTHING to do with Free Market ideals.

FYI: the banks also borrow money usually, at low rates (see the amount of interest you are getting on your money at your bank), so their real business is the delta between these lower rates and the rates you pay for the mortgage.

so they made money in this transaction as well. its the entity at the top of the debt pyramid that lost money. it was probably the depositors in your case.
You didn't read deep enough. Remoting and Scripting are <em>off by default</em> but available. Remoting is not great, but getting better soon (as in now-ish) with SSH support getting baked into PowerShell. (Yeah, that SSH, OpenSSH.) Scripting IS great, you just have to turn it on. (It's off by default because Microsoft didn't want it to be a virus vector for your Grandfather's machine who doesn't need shell scripting and likes to click on every attachment he sees in his email.)

Get-Help about_Execution_Policies # Tells you everything you need to know about

So the first thing I typically do in PowerShell in user accounts I control is:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

After that I can run all the scripts I want to run. (From there it's a quick jump over to Chocolatey for application installs and PsGet for useful PowerShell scripts like PoshGit that adds your friendly Git branch info to the PowerShell prompt.)

Their patents continue to be honored in the US. I don't think we have any right to ask India to honor US patents unless they are exporting the products to the US.

As someone who did AP chemistry and then went straight into programming. How would I go about learning more of this knowledge ?
Yeah. Say what you will about the the bad old times of Dreamweaver and Flash, but back then, visual artists could actually contribute to the Web without going through "web programmer" gatekeepers. Unfortunately programmers have recaptured the power since then, declared the old technologies broken in ways that only programmers can understand, and brought nothing in return.

IMO that's not an accident. Many programmers would also love to kill off Excel, because it's messy and not a "proper database" or something. And if the rumors are true, HyperCard was killed because "you could do everything in Cocoa and ProjectBuilder instead". User-empowering tech always feels messy and unprincipled to programmers.

Yes, but I think it's strange to consider that as a necessary requirement. First of all, can you even formulate this requirement precisely? Because "in any public space, there should be up to 10 seconds a day where a person would find himself not observed by anybody" sounds a little bit ridiculous.
Yes, most of the stuff on anybody's computer is unimportant.

PowerShell is a really cool, powerful tool. Though, it's really more of what you'd consider a modern REPL to be than a conventional shell. It takes an OO approach to scripting as well.

For some reason, I seems like it's a hard sell for a lot of .NET developers. A substantial number never leave Visual Studio and old habits are hard to break. I left that ecosystem many years ago, but still try to keep up with it.

I agree that it's the Adobe implementation which is the main problem here, and that dying is a good thing, but not the goals of Flash nor the SWF format itself. HTML5 and its related standards (CSS, JS, SVG) are a great example of "design by committee" leading to large amounts of gratuitous complexity and inefficiency. It's basically a document markup language which got coerced into a crude approximation of a general-purpose applications language, whereas SWF was designed from the beginning for vector graphics, animations, and interactivity.
I strongly agree with this. But until we put forth an application alternative, we will be doomed to suffer through the death of document centric html.

> DHTML

It existed, sure, but on top of IE and NS having completely unrelated solutions, even within each browser the behavior varied randomly by OS and version, and defied graceful degradation. In those days if displaying correctly for a meaningful subset of both mac and PC users was important, you used Flash.
Two anecdotes on this front: First, I'm currently pursuing a master's degree because doing MOOCs left me hungry for more.

More on that point. The reason you cannot use if/else within JSX is because the statement needs to evaluate to an expression. If you really need to use if/else logic embedded, a ternary operator would work just fine.

Has anyone else noticed that since this recent pivot, the quality of Coursera's classes have declined?

I recently tried a course hosted on Coursera from an Ivy League school, as part of a business "specialization" that consists of 4 classes at $90 each. The class was 4 weeks long and was taught by 3 different professors. The only material provided was a series of video lectures (10-20 5-minute lectures per professor) and a smattering of blog posts and news articles for optional reading.

There was some discussion in the forums that the lectures seemed to jump around, and didn't cover all the material represented in the final exam. Some previous students were guessing that the gaps in instruction were because the course used to be 9 weeks long before they started charging for it.

I enjoyed the class but didn't feel like I got my money's worth. In the end I decided I could get more value by just buying and reading books on business development on my own.
Oops, I didn't notice this, thanks!

Could a prefix-free code work with all the instruction arguments like arbitrary 64 bit immediates? Perhaps you could have a separate argument stream but you still need to parse all the prior instructions to get the offset.
That's the whole idea of patents, isn't it? Just like you can't import medicine that infringes patents you also cannot parallel import iPhones or start making jeans and attach a Levi's tag to it...

edit @aikah: ok, point taken. You recall the issues Apple and Samsung had with the one phone looking like the other? Fighting on the streets and in court to prove that the edges were different or the home button is not the same? Patents are valid for phones, then why not for medicine? Because lives are involved? That seems a slippery argument - next animal life is endangered or quality of living is impacted: where does it stop?

It's not possible to start making exceptions, because there is always someone with a tear-jerking story who is impacted by not being excepted too...

You're completely right, which is why Flash wasn't disabled until things got really bad.

I also think that the problem has always been key distribution and trust. Explaining such things to the average person is a fun exercise in frustration and sounds to that person like way too much effort. Classic PGP "Web of Trust" really is a lot of work, and while the Certificate Authority system is easier to explain, no one wants to pay an annual subscription to some CA to send secure emails... and then how are you going to distribute those CA signed certificates?

I really hope that with the big funding push, maybe Keybase.io helps circle this square and simplifies key distribution and trust enough that more average users will feel it to approachable. I'm not sure that they can, though.

Fully agree. To call lack of conditionals a "limitation of JSX" is also very misleading. JSX is a pretty simple wrapper for Javascript function calls. The fact that you can't put an if statement in your JSX is due to the fact that you can't supply an if statement as an argument to a Javascript function.
Well, I do know what happens in that situation. My friend used to be one of those drivers, with the steering wheel literally on her chest, holding the steering wheel as if she was hugging it. She always said that's what was comfortable for her. Until she had an accident - and obviously the airbag had nowhere to go and pushed pieces of plastic from the steering wheel directly in her chest, avoiding the heart by millimeters, and also cracked nearly every rib in her chest. She had to have multiple operations to remove the little bits of plastic form multiple points in her body. Suffice to say, she drives like a normal person now.
The stock market is less than 200 years old. Let's not make any bold predictions about unbreakable trends when we're talking about time periods up to 25% of the age of the market itself.

And there were decades of evidence to support that statistical fact!

I have mixed feelings towards blank CCTV in a public setting at least owned by the government. When it comes to private entities I know they're there to protect themselves from theft, property damage, and etc. But what business does the government have with constant surveillance? I know that some studies have indicated that even broken or disconnected CCTV cameras does curtail crime, but wouldn't adding police patrols to troubled areas be better (especially well trained and communicative officers in said patrols)?

I feel that CCTV is just a lazy approach to a deeper problem when it comes to crime. If you want to prevent it then figure out the root cause. If you want to curtail it then hire more competent police officers. They both work and they're both easier to hold accountable (imo).
Definitely had to google what a MOOC was: Massive open online course.

Even though this isn't the same thing at all, this reminded me of a course I had in college where instead of attending in-person and in-class meetings, we all had to create Second Life avatars and meet online.

The professor was doing research on the subject and I quickly found the online meetings for 'educational computing' (Microsoft Office class) to be pretty useless. Luckily this was long enough ago when it was possible to not have a good enough video card for such an activity and I was allowed to not attend those meetings anymore.
