> I recently found a new a job hoping to gain some mentorship

I this is probably the real error. Lacking greater context, what made you expect that your boss at this new position would be able to mentor you?

Is he supposed to know how to parse a CSV? (Manually? Like, with awk or something?) Or is that why he hired a hacker/programmer like you?

I'm not saying your boss isn't incompetent. Maybe he is. But you shouldn't expect that your superior is always going to be more technically competent than you.

Emotions are physical and are axiomatic to experience. It's hard to reason with something that doesn't talk back, hence most emotional states are altered via new experience and not reason -- such as a hug or a cookie.

Emotion is a constant stream of something real that emerges from within. We proceed to express them with thought, dance, music, etc. Without them we would have very little to express or digest. Most thought and contemplation can be traced to an emotion that we had or that isn't going away. eg. Hunger begs for the experience of ingestion and we naturally obsess about obtaining food while we are hungry. But reasoning with hunger doesn't work, etc etc. just some food for thought ;)

I still think that he assessed this point favorably for himself.
If you read the whole point he made he may be right. But for me all these asynchronous methods are used more and more, so I'd say multi-threaded programming is much bigger than it was 10 years ago.

If you look at some languages / frameworks I see now this:
If you are programming now in C# you have keywords like "await" which make background processes much easiert.

When you are programming Android in AndroidStudio you are warned if you try to call a web service in a GUI thread.

15 years ago, when I've started programming commercially (MFC and C++) most of the books said something along "well this is multi-threaded programming, but 'There be dragons'.."
I used fake in anger. I wouldn't recommend using it compared to more mature alternatives for serious projects. It seemed strictly worse than using NANT & invoking msbuild. Yes, xml is horrible, but NANT is mature. Both tools don't understand file dependencies. From that perspective they are inferior to make.
Ask HN: What is so great about Lisp that makes Emacs powerful?

Our council tax in the UK, which would be the equivalent to SimCity town tax, is somewhere about 3-5%. It is actually a regressive tax, fixed based on almost made-up property prices, but you seem to be confusing national taxes with local taxes.

Although some of the national tax goes back to the councils and some of the national taxes pay for the infrastructure, so it's a bit more complicated than that.
There's an easy way to solve this. Does it have a flag?

I believe that if not then it's part of Britain by default. No flag, no country.

It's the only build system I've ever seen that's truly declarative. You can't put random turing-complete computation in the middle of a maven project definition; you can only invoke well-defined plugins (if you want a custom build step, you package it up as a plugin - written in ordinary java, unit testable and all the rest of it).

The result is there are no "snowflake builds". One project tends to build exactly the same as any other; virtually every project uses the same source directories etc.. It makes it really easy to be productive straight away when switching projects. And the limited build steps mean the IDE integration can be very complete.

This ! Probably the most profound thing I have ever read in a long long time.
It's a whole different ecosystem - it's not like Scala where I can sling in one class on an existing Java codebase. .net isn't just its own VM, it's its own IDE, its own build tool, its own packaging model....

For little standalone pieces - the kind that people write in D or OCaml because they want to - I can see .net being used on linux. But I don't see anyone migrating an enterprise Java codebase - it's just too much effort for too little gain.
"I don’t know if I will ever get to make another Monkey Island. I always envisioned the game as a trilogy and I really hope I do, but I don’t know if it will ever happen. Monkey Island is now owned by Disney and they haven't shown any desire to sell me the IP. I don’t know if I could make Monkey Island 3a without complete control over what I was making and the only way to do that is to own it. Disney: Call me."

I wonder if anyone high up in Disney could be persuaded to give Ron Gilbert enough control to make MI3a. Would surely boost their brand and create a community of grateful fans.

If selling the IP is a no-no, maybe there's another way.
It sure looks that way.

@Silverlight:
are you much better off if you've wrote a Java Applet at the same time ? (I think this was the right thing to do in Java back then)

We were trying to use Java Webstart, but we gave up, because of the fact that some modern browsers just block the Java plugin.

I have to use a Java applet for some customer VPN's I am connecting to and the only browser this works for me is Internet Explorer to connect to those VPNs.

You can still write Winforms applications and this is some really old technique. Maybe you are still able to use MFC, but I haven't tested that in a LONG time.

As someone who is relatively new to perl, I think perl 6 is definitely a positive direction. It removes lots of inconsistencies, while providing a clean base for future expansion. For something like the sigils, what's more important - to know that a variable is a scalar, or that it's some kind of hash/array? The second would definitely be less confusing when learning the language.

There are also definitely some good things coming out of perl 6, like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpqnNCx7wVY

What you need is reachable goals to set for yourself, goals that are not dependent on others to achieve.

This way you are solely resposible for the outcomes of these goals.

If you do that for one or two years start to give yourself further goals.

For most people you are right. But in every group large enough there are a few who always want more and who don't think as much about the risk. I'd argue that Alexander himself also was such a person. If you offered him nice conditions for his submission and a low chance to succeed by fighting, do you think he would have submitted?

And what about days when not everything is well and nice? Drought, famines, storms, sickness. When something irritating happens people tend to blame leaders. Suddenly the situation doesn't feel nice, no matter what you do as a leader. What do you do then? Go home and stop leading?

Just think about us. We probably live in the richest, most peacefully, culturally most widely developed time of human history, yet we don't feel happy about it. Many people would argue that another leader might be better for them than the current one. So I would argue that even if one lives a happy, good life, one is not so happy about it to fully trust the leader.
Monkey Island 1/2 still remain one of the most influential games for myself. I triggered my strong interest in game programming and later programming in general. All I wanted in the 90s was to come up with programs that showed sprites moving around. Later I progressed to different fields of programming but I guess a part of me still dreams of programming an equivalent game like Monkey Island some day (2D of course!!!)

I guess he could propose a game to Disney and see if they bite. From his blog (the title of which includes the phrase "bitter ramblings") Ron appears opposed to working on MI3 unless given full control first. However, I would think his best course would be something like a kickstarter campaign which might demonstrate to Disney the kind of market MI3 could have.

> Floats can store integer values exactly up to an upper limit (2^24 IIRC)

You're right, for relatively small integers of 8 digits or so.

Here's a fun place to note that on the machine I just tried the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler will happily exactly store integers with hundreds of thousands of digits.

> which is often useful.

As in you've written such code in dozens of programs?

> And [floats] can store binary fractions exactly up to a point.

0.1 is already "past" that point which is even less impressive than 8 digit integers.

> No number representation can represent all numbers exactly. Each can store some subset of all numbers exactly.

Well duh. No computer can compute all computable things. Each can compute some things. My machine became unhappy when I asked it to store a number that would require a terabyte of RAM. Are these sorts of thing really worth mentioning when the starting point is just 0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3?
I would only put courses that lead to a degree on my resume under the Education section. If you have extra knowledge that you want to mention, a Qualification section would be the best place to add a line about it in my opinion.

I'm not sure replicatable or reproducible are better or worse than each other. They are just different things. Replicatable seems to hint at an easy way to run quite literally the exact same experiment or process as someone else has done in the past, while reproducible suggests there is enough information made available for someone else to re-create from the ground up a previous experiment or process.

It seems to me both have merits and one cannot assume that performing a 'replication' is a superior form of 'reproduction', nor the other way around. I suspect the merits and relative desirability of one or the other vary depending on discipline.
I'm not sure if I would call that number staggering. It was noted by one person who objected to the settlement that it amounted to only 10% of the estimated savings the companies reaped from the practice.

You'd probably need to make it very slightly more dense than water, or it may get trapped at the surface in an underground cave. This means it won't surface by itself once it leaves the cave system, and as water blocks RF pretty effectively, you'd not get a signal. To make it work, you'd need to add some additional mechanism to allow it to become more buoyant over time - perhaps a slow chemical reaction creating gas?
