Based on your statements, you shouldn't be trading anything. If you don't know how to use the tools of the trade, you are all but guaranteed to lose. Not every trader is an options trader, but every trader should understand the fundamentals of options. Trading is a specialized business all its own, no less so than dentistry, chemical engineering, or lobstering. If you haven't attained the required expertise, the results are going to be awful. Non-traders would all be much wealthier if their brokers took away their Sell buttons.

The benefit would be that compatibility code (which can obfuscate the base a lot and take a large proportion of the code base) would be in a different branch or automatically added. Web developers could use tools like cssnext to automatically add all the goop without ever being distracted by it themselves. Less code needs to be reviewed, tested and maintained.

As for the engine side, the benefits would be the same like with OpenSSH etc. as mentioned in the GH issue. Unfortunately (or fortunately if he is right) a Servo developer thinks "this separation (if it’s even possible) sounds like a bunch of additional work with no benefit". I'm afraid this nice and shiny new engine will end up being complex and unmaintainable like all the others. Again this is speculation not based on facts, but experience with software development in general.
This is simply never going to get widely deployed.

Tl;dr: Yes, with a bit of effort and maybe some compromises. A lot of software/games do have native Linux versions these days, and for those that don't, there is Wine, which does a very good job of running a lot of Windows software/games on Linux, but with has varying levels of success. Check https://appdb.winehq.org to see how well it'll work for things. A lot of it depends on how flexible you're willing to be - there are a lot of decent alternatives for every task on Linux, but if you require specific software it will make things harder.

Blizzard games work very well in Wine with minimal effort (I play SC2 and HotS regularly). FFXIV can take some more effort and can be a bit laggy in busy areas, but I also play it regularly and have no issues playing through raids and endgame content.

More generally, you won't be able to play 99.5% of games, particularly new releases, mainly due to wine lacking DX10+ support. However, most of indie games and a good portion of AAA games are released with native Linux support these days, and wine will run most windows games based on DX9 or lower. Basically, there are plenty of great games to occupy your time on Linux, but if you want to play every new AAA release then you likely be disappointed.

Unity editor was released for Linux yesterday, but still in beta. Unreal Engine 4 editor can be compiled and is usable for Linux but is not officially stable/released yet.

Skype has an official native linux version. The UI is old compared to the Windows version but I don't think it's lacking any significant features.

Evernote is listed as running perfectly in Wine. There are also some unofficial open source clients, and alternatives that have similar functionality. I'm not familiar with this so can't say for sure, but it looks like there should be a number of options here.

The graphics software is likely to be the biggest issue, and is the main area where Linux is still lacking. Maya and Motionbuilder run on Linux. There's no native Linux versions of 3DS Max or Adobe software, and they don't run particularly well in wine (likely to be buggy, slow, or broken for some features). The only likely solution besides dual booting is using GPU passthrough on a windows VM, though this is complicated to set up and very hardware dependent. I made a few other posts in this thread with more info about this.
Your experiences are completely different to mine, and I've been a member of the community for about 8 years now. Haskellers are in general very aware of the flaws in the language, and this isn't limited to records - space leaks are the primary reason for the proliferation of streaming IO libraries. And for records, we've been lead to lenses, which are an extremely powerful abstraction which surpasses, IMO, whats available in most other languages in terms of being able to interact with nested data structures (giving them such a limited definition is doing them a disservice, because they're far more powerful than that). You keep mentioning the use of the "if it compiles, it works" phrase - this is clearly a meme, and often used as a joke, but is also used as a goal for writing reliable software: if we can encode enough of our problem domain into the type system, then we can be much more certain that if we write programs which compile, they likely do what we want them to. If it not a synonym for "If it compiles, it has no bugs and is perfect", which is how you seem to be interpreting it.

The issue is that the Node ecosystem embraces not sharing libraries so you end up with n^2 growth in packages for size. There are lots of small Ruby gems, but you can only require one version of a Ruby gem per runtime so it keeps things much smaller.

While I don't necessarily disagree with this, its clear this is from a CEO's perspective where public speaking is a very important role. If you have 1000 hours of personal and technical development a year at your disposal and you spend 500 of those at toastmasters instead of learning libraries, tooling, and messing around with robotics projects, then who do you think will win out during an interview? You or the guy who had his nose in robotics textbooks and websites for that 1000 hours?

I'd rather hire the guy who is a little mumble-mouthed and who knows his shit over the chatty guy who can't compete technically with the first candidate. The original guy can work on his social/speaking/managerial skills as his career develops. In the meantime, he needs to compete as a skill worker.

If this were true, then the patent is obviously invalid. But since this has never been the argument in court, I'm guessing your assertion mostly false. If you have proof that there was another company who had a product with this idea before the priority date of the patent, then I'd love to see it.

FYI, the latest Jupyter + matplotlib have interactive plotting inline with "%matplotlib notebook". The server must be running for this to work (so you can't interact with static ipynb files in nbviewer, for example), but a static version of the plot is generated for static notebooks. There are also some changes coming down the line to expose the traits of matplotlib plots so that libraries like mpld3 can be integrated more seamlessly.

Indeed, there's nothing I would change about history up to that point, having read a lot of pre-actual bomb dropping science fiction, which detailed many much worse ways nuclear weapons could have be introduced to humanity.

Or take all the alternate histories of WWII where the Nazis hold out for much longer, especially their somehow not provoking a World War earlier than they were ready for. Give them enough time and their delivering plutonium nukes to our cities in stealthy flying wing bombers or V-2 descendants is not out of the question.

For Google, delivering ads takes priority over security best practices and customer privacy.

Edit: an unarguably true statement, fully supported by Google's own posting, begins to be downvoted.

Google could just as easily tell the ad networks to upgrade to HTTPS, but they have chosen to ask developers to reduce the security of their applications instead.
That is frankly ridiculous.

Tesla's previous car getting 99/100 (which never happened before) wasn't enough, so now they push 103/100?

I understand that its a great car, but if the consumer report scale is out of 100, then it should stay out of 100. Pushing their scale beyond the boundary causes a "Spinal tap" situation and I fail to take the review seriously anymore.

Are basic bonds beyond the grasp of this forum? High yields are low prices for the bond holders. So when people sell bonds, the price drops, which causes the yield to rise.

Hmmm... Isn't that the company that uses a patent to sell a box with $20 of parts for $2000 and is the reason why you can't get good load balancing systems from other vendors?
It wouldn't have been quicker, though. Anyone can see that: if you nuke Iraq, you'd face a massive, worldwide, prolonged counter-movement.

The fact that this didn't happen during WW2 means that it was one of the only times you could actually get away with using nuclear weapons, and the people making that decision knew that they could get away with it. If they couldn't, they wouldn't have used them. They relied on ignorance that simply doesn't exist today.

This was also part of the UFC's argument to help regulate MMA. They kept a small number of rounds, a point system, and refs who could call a match when someone stopped protecting themselves. This, along with no strikes to the back of the head, made UFC on average more safe than boxing (unless you get head kicked, in which case you're definitely worse off).
Intentionally disabling security settings for your entire application just to allow advertising from companies who haven't upgraded their infrastructure seems quite user-hostile. Google is a big supporter for HTTPS, strong certificates, etc., but apparently only when it doesn't affect their bottom line. If Google told their advertising networks that they need to be using HTTPS or they won't be available for iOS users they would probably get secure connections up and running pretty quickly.
Because there's no way to measure when the page is "usable", and the load event firing is a good enough measurement of the worst case.

The difference is that the mainstream left-wing themselves routinely say that they want equality of outcome:

Paul Krugman's -- "we should try to create the society each of us would want if we didn’t know in advance who we’d be."

Or as Ezra Klein put it -- "In truth, equality of opportunity and equality of outcome aren't opposites. They're partners. Companions. Inseparable amigos. You can't have real equality of opportunity without equality of outcome. A rich parent can purchase test prep a poor parent can't. A rich parent can usher their children into social networks a poor parent can't. A rich parent can make donations to Harvard that a poor parent can't."

Or Jonathan Chait -- "the attempt to draw a distinction between equality of outcome and equality of opportunity collapses immediately."

No mainstream right-winger is getting anywhere close to arguing that people should starve to death.

I'd trade any language without macros to the same language, but with the proper macros added. And then I'll get all the features I want - lambdas, garbage collection, numeric tower, lazy evaluation, any imaginable type system, whatever else (of course, there are some limits, I would not be able to get an image-based system and a REPL if the host language runtime does not allow it).

It's a nearly infinite flexibility, no other single feature or a combination of language features can do this.

I guess. I mean they're both incredibly small niche vehicle volumes that it seems a bit strange to split hairs on which model.
Well, they are asking to disable security completely. It's not like their asking to be added to a whitelist - which is probably not feasible.
The instructions they give are not creating an exception for any particular ad servers or just for Google's servers; they're asking developers to enable NSAllowsArbitraryLoads, which disables the security features app-wide for any URL.
