It's a bit long an rambly, so it's hard to get a good picture of what the author is trying to say. However, I think I have experienced some similar feelings lately. I've been trying to write some literate coffeescript and one of the problems I was running into is that it is just a PITA to edit. You've got this huge block of text that you have to jump around every time you want to edit anything.

So, I got the idea to factor it, like the program that it is, and add links all over the place. That way, if you want to view the explanation you can, but you don't have to. Also, I don't have to wade through the documentation every time I'm looking to make a change.

And then I started to think, "How are people going to read this?" One of the ideas of literate programming is that you "weave" the human representation in a way that is best for the human to understand. But now I have a hypertext document, which allows the reader to "weave" their own path through the code/explanation.

Furthermore, because I realized that not everyone will take the same path through the code, I started to reuse links in many different places. You can't assume that someone has seen something, since there is no narrative any more. You have to make a network that is sensible from any "angle".

I think this is very similar to the "garden" he describes.

Interestingly, because some of my colleagues are very opinionated I started worrying about some of the code. I really thought that some of the things I was doing were "good ideas" (tm), but I was aware that there were some smart people with whom I work who would undoubtedly disagree. Without the narrative, how do I invite discussion?

We have a culture of code reviews on our team and one of the things we value are small pull requests very frequently. Especially if you have something potentially controversial, the idea is to post a quick PR and get feedback right away. Personally, I also invite people to submit counter PRs that describe their ideas in code.

Now, this literate project of mine is a personal project, so I don't have the luxury of a captive audience. How do I attract people? I actually sent around tweet sized emails to a few people with links to my code and said, "What do you think about this? Do you agree with the explanation? Do you have other ideas?"

This seems to me to be very similar to the "stream" concept that the author has. However, all of this activity is really time consuming and labour intensive (especially making all the links and keeping them up to date!!!). I think there is definitely some value to these ideas, but I need better tools ;-)
I think you are looking for something voluntary when that is almost certainly not the case.

1) A friend of mine once astutely commented that the diagnosis for ADHD was basically "middle class with behaviors which annoy female schoolteachers."

2) Boys tend to challenge authority from teens to early 20's to try and work out their place in the world. Most male teachers just roll with it until they have to make a sarcastic, embarrassing remark which short circuits it (never heckle a teacher or a stand-up comic--they've seen it all before). Female teachers tend to react more strongly. I suspect its a physical thing--boys start getting problematically large for most women about 7th or 8th grade and if, as a female, you don't nip it in the bud hard and fast, you can lose control over the situation.

3) Boys need male role models just as women need female role models.

4) Male teachers don't tend to view approval by their students as something useful or desirable (in the case of approval by the female students--it's downright dangerous). The better female teachers are in the same boat, but there are a LOT of female teachers that actively try to gain their student's approval.

If we stew all that together with an absence of male teachers, I suspect that you have more than enough unconscious bias to account for everything.
Do you think this also implies that men have more incentive to become successful in their careers, if they choose the socially acceptable route? And if so, do you think this might partly explain why we see more men in high prestige/pay professions (e.g. tech)?
What financial implications are there, aside from "The IRS wants to make sure you're not leaving just before an anticipated windfall to avoid taxes?"
This is great! Love the name. With its reverse proxy it's instantly usable on my current project. The CLI option syntax is nifty.

Not only that, consider all the other parties that wish to do you or your company harm could invest in lawsuits against you brought by parties that have nothing to do with them.
At what point does it make sense for Google-likes to educate their own workforce, skipping the university model entirely? They've already created a B.A. substitute by sponsoring Udacity's nanodegree programs, and now they're working on the other end of the spectrum with a masters / PhD equivalent.

Assume these companies have an excellent selection process (obviously a big 'if'). Could they pluck bright students straight out of high school, send them to two years of specialized super-accelerated Google School, and have a molded and productive employee come out the other side? They have the resources and the expertise, and there's only so many Stanford grads each year.

A workforce of bootcamp devs sounds unpleasant - but with skyrocketing tuition costs, and ever-increasing demand for 'only the best' talent at these companies, there's probably a point at which it makes economic sense for both employer and employee.
He misspelled brogrammer?
It got him this publicity, yeah?
LOL. It IS the Quajects paper.
That's the way I read it also. Omitting words in a parallel structure like this is a form of "elliptical construction" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis_(linguistics)
There's a setting that tells your Facebook app to not autoplay videos.

This will perpetuate a broken system and widen the economic gap as companies start profiting on the demise of the opposition.

It's one thing when someone invests as a form of aid, however, I see this being gamed for profit.
Now that's an interesting argument.

The US allows champerty and maintenance already, so it's not an issue in the US.
It's valuable time spent by a CEO for a variety of reasons. Organizing thoughts. Demonstrating expertise. Getting publicity. Engaging customers and prospects. Eliciting feedback.

The law is the law, US persons owe money wether they are living in US or not.

They can, they are very sovereign, and they chose to play along with American IRS. Probably a rational choice vis-a-vis the pressure and downsides they could receive if they don't.

Some banks chose to not cater to and not accept US persons at all.
Interesting. A few years back I led a project at a Startup Weekend that was about crowd-sourced legal defense. (LVLR)

http://sandiego.startupweekend.org/2011/03/08/9-new-startups...

Of course it wasn't a product that was more than a prototype, but I am fully onboard with crowd funding playing a much larger role in the world than it currently does - whether it's down to a) investing, b) getting some sort of other reward/product or c) more directed alternative to typical charity.

What's discussed in the article was one of the ideas my product guy and I bandied about, but it didn't seem plausible at the time... although, when the JOBS act was passed I did feel that maybe it was possible if you could somehow incorporate your lawsuit?

Right now I'm the lead engineer for a crowd-funded charity site and sometime in the not-too-distant future I'd like to return to this.
Learning Management System (LMS)
True but... most countries have tax treaties and tax codes such that people are not double taxed. Source: was expat.
Curious how other folks handle these issues.

One approach might be to use a thermometer or IR camera to keep track of the phone's temperature relative to ambient. If something is causing unusual amounts of battery drain, the phone is going to get (much) hotter.
>Another important reason I feel is the rising amount of "girls-only" opportunities that systematically make boys feel inadequate and since they are not able to participate for whatever reason (e.g. "its only for girls") they continue to lag behind. I even have a perfect example of this, my city has a "Girls Learning Code" meetup / lecture series that while advertises being gender neutral is clearly not so, the question is how many meetups are there that are for boys, e.g. "Boys Learning Code" (creating these would be classified under men 's rights activism and therefore dismissed).

Get the fuck out of here, this is definitely not a problem for young men interested in technology. Those guys are going to be there no matter what.
> But let's remember context, you support capitalism where COMPETITION exists, in this situation it is an artificially created monopoly of one company.

That's not what Republicans, or almost any politicians, support. Politicians are mostly addicted to power and support keeping power, even if that means screwing the ideals they supposedly espouse. And keeping power in a democratic republic involves keeping funding for the next election cycle. Regardless of their stated ideals, politicians are de facto slaves of the corporations whose interests they serve, unless laws exist to limit this effect. In short, laissez faire capitalism and democracy are incompatible.

Well, yes and no. It makes it less onerous to defend against certain types of lawsuits (patent trolls come to mind). How many times do we hear stories of some "little guy" who is in the right who gets screwed over because s/he was facing years of litigation that would have bankrupted them even if they won the case?

The other major benefit to a loser pays system is that it does raise the stakes - for frivolous lawsuits. Legal action is, in some ways, very cheap in the United States. Making the loser foot the bill is a good way to make corporations and their ilk take a second glance litigation as a tool.

I'm a customer of yours. Does Enlis offer auto updating? Why there's no software version number displayed on your website? Your software is over a gigabyte (as far as I can recall) and it's nice to see if there's a newer version and not redundantly update.
Sci-Hub has always worked well for me. But now they're being sued in New York. What we need is a reboot that's takedown proof, with strong anonymization for site operators, contributors and users. Maybe a Tor onion service, with tor2web links. I'm rather surprised that it's not already operational. It'd be a fantastic tribute to Aaron Swartz.

But when it comes to making a real track I prefer the vsts. Diva is simply amazing. Monark is so close to a real moog. The convenience of not bouncing/recording to audio track is importand to me.
The sound quality of the VSTIs these days is good enough. And if my stuff doesn't sounds good - it's on me. Not the tools and the synths.
Laws and morality are not aligned quite often. Especially in this case. They have a legal obligation. And I haven't heard of a case of anyone being forgiven their taxes because they said they don't have a moral obligation to pay.

Now let's play devil's advocate and see how you could benefit from those taxes even if you are away? -- Well you could return and then start taking advantage of services, goods, infrastructure, security, protection etc. Something could happen to you and you could request assistance or evacuation. You can use your passport to travel to many countries without a visa. You could vote. But yeah that's all I can think of. Not very convincing. Certainly does not seem worth it.

The main problem they are trying to solve I imagine is people who become rich, and then all of the sudden scurry to a private islands and stop paying taxes.
Did you write "resident", as in implying there's only one position?
That's an interesting suggestion. A few bits that I'm aware of.

There's a Randall Munroe comic (not published on xkcd) which shows the growth in academic publishing. As with many of his infographic strips, this one is stunningly effective at conveying quantity:

http://m.sciencemag.org/site/special/scicomm/infographic.jpg

Much of the growth in publishing followed the explicit formulation that science and technology were the path to an endless frontier, explicitly stated in Vannevar Bush's 1945 report, "Science, the Endless Frontier", and accelerating through the Sputnik crisis, space race, and expanded academic funding of the 1960s-1980s. By the end of that period, academic research was increasingly privately funded and seen as a profit center for large research institutions.

But a "reason to believe something is relevant" is a prejudged correlation.
Aside from the things camperbob identified, this is pretty neat. The tricky parts are getting the pulse generator right (you want a sharp leading edge and flat top, with no ringing) and having an oscilloscope with a flat response well into the GHz range.

One solution to the second challenge is to home-brew a sampling adapter, like this one from 2000[1]. This is a good fit for TDR because of two factors inherent in the TDR process: a) it is repetitive, so the usual drawbacks to "sub-nyquist" sampling don't apply; and b) you have ready access to a pre-trigger, so it is easy to see the leading edge of the signal of interest.

The first challenge requires a lot of cleverness or access to expensive test equipment.

I'm not questioning what you're saying, as it seems to be correct based on what I know (I may or may not have watched the Helvetica documentary) but what's with the graininess in the color picker? It doesn't fit with anything else I'm looking at on this topic.
Another inaccuracy: the sound example "sine, saw, triangle, square" only correctly gives an example of a sine wave. The other three sounds are neither saws, triangles, or squares, but these weird irregular waveforms, which sound completely different. Open it up in Audacity and see for yourself.
My guess is to simulate how the colors will look on paper, they always look like they "pop" (god I hate that word lol) on a screen more than when printed out. You can turn it off by clicking "noise" at the top right.
To be fair, it's hard to imagine that a company as massive as Facebook, with an application that's got probably the highest install rate on iPhone of any app not shipped on the device, would be so mind-numbingly stupid as to overlook such a prevalent battery-draining issue as this for so long.

I disagree with you on the statement that Neo4j does not work well in life sciences. I am a data scientist building large scale systems for mining genomic data, and we built a fairly critical piece of that infrastructure around Neo4j. I actually presented an overview of that work at GraphConnect this week:

http://speakerdeck.com/timwilliate/graphs-are-feeding-the-wo...

Many meaningful lineages in life sciences can be hundreds to thousands of levels deep (our datasets are great examples). Neo4j is the only graph database I have evaluated that handles traversals across lineages of this depth while still achieving the performance scalability promised by maintaining index-free adjacency across which ever node in the cluster a traversal is sent to.
I'm going to assume that OP is interested in this question because he wants to find a good remote job (not an unreasonable assumption, heh.)

For that: you might want to think about applying to tech startups directly even if they don't advertise remote jobs (as long as you actually are an extremely good match though and a good way to tell is if the job advertisement is simply a restatement of your resume.) The reason is: a lot of startups are open to this kind of arrangement to the right applicant (and I really do mean the right applicant here.) For example, if the job advertisement is for say - a PHP developer and it doesn't specifically state remote work, then its unlikely they will be open to that kind of arrangement simply because there isn't exactly a shortage of high quality local applicants (PHP is very common.)

On the other hand: if you're applying for a highly specialized job and you can make a persuasive argument as to why you would be an ideal match for the company - the company may be open to your offer. In the end: the only way to know for certain is to ask which you should definitely go for if you specialize.

You clearly took my comment the wrong way. I'm speaking on behalf of a philosophical standpoint, 1.3+ billion of an item....in this case a specific Human nationality cannot be used to generalize the whole. It's 1.3 BILLION, there's going to be so much diversity and difference in a population of that size no matter the circumstances.
The article seems to elide the differences between subtractive synths, and all the many other forms of synthesis--Frequency Modulation, Additive (Fourier), Physical Modeling, and others that don't necessarily have all the pieces they mention like filters and VCAs.

The DX7 has 6 digital oscillators that can only produce sine waves and no filter. It functions very differently form subtractive synths, but is capable, with only six sines, of creating sounds that have far more complex harmonics (and non-harmonic tones) than most subtractive synths.
Wouldn't such behavior be considered unethical and possibly grounds for disbarment? After all, that's definitely not in the interests of the client.

OpenID Connect fixes this exact problem. It fills in the gaps of OAuth2, where it often left the details up to the implementor, there is now a well defined process for verifying identity, and it's all done using IETF standards.
Such examples and on one of those grad forums and other places like Reddit about how horrible and how political grad programs are (I mean PhD mostly) I must say it added a lot to my decision of not trying for a PhD (maybe ever).

Is it an accepted environment in academia by now and very widely known and people still go for the same environment? Or people, students, don't know how it is actually there, or the severity of it, and then kind of get trapped because of that mild ignorance, so to speak? Or, is it just the hope that - oh that place cannot be that bad? Or is it really not this widespread as people make it out to be, or as it seems to be (to me at least)? Just curious (I'm not a grad school guy; just an MS aspirant who also wanted to do a PhD but now not).
Oh, thanks for the update. But this doesn't appear to be documented anywhere? So far I've only been reading the documentation, not the source code -- perhaps it's more obvious from the source code that such functionality already exists (eg: the -F flag)?

There's a real difference between actually working with a Kimono and adapting it or remixing it or whatever, and just trying it on like a costume. The latter relegates it to the role of some weird prop, where the main draw is its outsiderness. Like, they're not trying on the Kimono to mix cultures and make something new. They're treating a garment with a long history as a prop. It leaves as bad a taste in my mouth as people who jokingly wear sombreros… like, they're just not treating it in a respectful manner. And I say this as someone who owns one of Naked and Famous's kimono shirts, but for me it's a real wardrobe item and not a joke costume to try on and look wacky in for social media.
OK. Thanks for your response regarding this.
