Most of the private economy switched to individual retirement accounts (401Ks/IRAs) so that you don't have to depend on the ability of a private company that may or may not exists 40 years from now (when you retire) and you can instead depend on yourself.

I don't know about that. You can write controllers and models in react, it is just an anti-pattern. The same is true of Angular. Angular is usually used as the V, and a little bit of the C with protected controller functionality server side, and APIs for public model interfaces and public controller api endpoints.

You and crdoconnor are eloquently demonstrating the damage debt does to discourse.

Whatever your political slant, in this case it looks like class warfare, it can be turned against itself when debt starts limiting the degrees of freedom political action can take. Conservatives will do the same thing -- for them the argument will be something like "if we can't fund the national defense/LE, why do we need a government in the first place?"

Long term, this debt problem, whether local or national, is some nasty, radioactive stuff.
If you find it fascinating/strange you might be interested in this snazzy article (which is the one which linked me to the concept to begin with) that discusses plausible (but speculative) mechanisms for both this and other mental phenomena, including dissociative identity disorder and certain religious experiences: http://www.meltingasphalt.com/neurons-gone-wild/

Phenotype = genotype + environment + reproductive phenotype (that is, the seed shell for a plant, egg for a bird, or the uterus for a mammal). Being able to rewrite the genotype doesn't give you total customization of the resulting phenotype.
True, but normally for React that should boil down to an opinionated set of defaults (e.g. React+Redux and probably react-router using Babel and probably Webpack) plus a small number of files (e.g. Babel and Webpack config files, maybe an ESLint config file, the obligatory package.json file, and a few empty folders for components, actions and reducers to get started) but not much actual code.
I wouldn't touch PCG yet. It's based on a single paper submitted to a journal which hasn't even been reviewed yet. Has there been any independent testing of the algorithm? Not that I know of. And the entire PCG website appears to have been built by the paper author as a promotional tool, which is a bit spooky given that the paper hasn't even been published.

MT is far from a "bad generator". It doesn't pass a few stringent TestU01 tests, which is the case for a number of very well regarded generators.

Most of those lawyers won't get jobs, and if they do get jobs they won't be well paid. There's a glut of lawyers at the moment, and it's not at all the easy money outsiders think it is.

Law has the usual power curve for income and prestige - a relatively small number of partners, mostly from privileged and connected backgrounds, make most of the money and get most of the opportunities. A few potential stars get useful mentoring. But there's a huge army of law workers who only really only do crappy clerical work (boilerplate wills, property sales, debt chasing, and such) and handle petty criminal cases.

IME a lot of these lawyers aren't that good. They get results because the public are intimidated by lawyers, not because they're brilliant at their jobs. It's not hard to self-study procedure and case law if you're going up against them, and give yourself a better than average chance of winning.

I think dev culture is more open. If you want to talk to the creator of <some cool thing> you often can. If it's a FOSS project, you can get involved and add it to your resume. There are IRC channels and blogs and mailing lists and many other options.

This is not to be confused with startup culture, which is a different thing, and does seem to suffer from social exclusion.

But if you're more interested in cranking out code than feeding money to your pet unicorn, dev culture really does seem to be relatively open and meritocratic.
I have internal monologue only when I'm trying or planning to talk, to write something or debug something with rubber duck. And even then it's more like dialogue.

> I've literally never heard of Vhash, and I see no references to it outside of the 2007 paper.

It is intimately tied up with VMAC. The title of the 2006 paper that introduced them is "Message authentication on 64-bit architectures". Google scholar says it has been cited 32 times, while "SipHash: a fast short-input PRF" has been cited 43 times.

> As far as I know, the state of the art for "fast and secure" is still SipHash 2-4 or 2-3.

SipHash seems to me like a good choice.

SipHash has some security properties that Vhash does not, although Vhash-based-VMAC has similar security properties to SipHash, I believe. However, for hash flooding attacks, if the hash values themselves are not directly exposed to the attackers and there is enough noise in the response latency that timing attacks are difficult, I do not know what benefits SipHash has.

"Faster 64-bit universal hashing using carry-less multiplications" has some benchmarks that show Vhash as faster than SipHash, substantially so on long input.

Speed-wise, an iterated string hash using Dietzfelbinger-style multiply-shift hashing is also substantially faster (3-10x) than SipHash on both large and small inputs in my testing, and it needs about 20 lines of code to implement. I haven't written any Rust in a while, but I'll try and send you a patch to the repo you linked.

The benchmarks from the "Faster 64-bit ..." paper are available at https://github.com/lemire/StronglyUniversalStringHashing. The iterated string hash I referenced is https://github.com/lemire/StronglyUniversalStringHashing/blo....

It's advice that I acted upon in 2014, when I realized,as we were about to try for pregnancy #1, that my then-employer was untenable. No promotion potential, mandatory 20+ hours a week of unpaid overtime, lots of deployments (up to 6 months a year away from home), no commonality with engineering done anywhere else...I moved and got the job I have now with hyphenated-corporation. It's big and evil, sure, but my immediate management (up to 2 levels above me) treat me well and respect the work that I've done for them. So I am loyal to them, but not the corporation. It's the corporation that has these policies that I don't like, but my management worked with me to soften the blow as much as possible.
While the bar exam enforces a certain quality of knowledge, it also enforces breadth. Every lawyer in a given jurisdiction takes the same bar exam, and it covers all aspects of the law.

The programming equivalent would be like forcing coders to demonstrate competency in everything from embedded systems programming to OS development to packaged application to web back-end, to web front-end, mobile apps, algorithms, networking, language design, compiler optimization, etc.

The way it works now, coders can specialize and that makes it easier to self-study. Learning all about web front-end dev is a lot easier then learning about every type of programming there is.

If you want credentialling, it would have to be more like medicine, where people have to pass the boards in their specialty only.
bamboo is already a fine construction material, it's much more efficient to just grow long straight pieces and join them after the fact. That way you don't have to do any genome engineering, or have special growth facilities for oddly shaped bamboo (for one, bamboo that doesn't grow straight up is going to take a lot more space on the ground).
I don't disagree with your numbers, or with the notion that accuracy is important. But just for fun, what, exactly, is the difference in course of action you would take given his numbers versus Vanity Fairs'?

To make my point more clearly, you (and vanity fair, and Wikipedia) say the top 1% is two orders of magnitude larger than its relative size (40x). Some claim, and Vanity Fair doesn't exactly refute that the top 1% are two orders of magnitude larger than its relative size (90x). Crdoconnor appears to have misquoted by one order of magnitude, saying that the unfairness ratio is three orders of magnitude (900x).

So, ignoring crdconnors accidental misquote, and playing devils advocate for a moment, what substantive policy decisions should differ across the line between two orders of magnitude inequality versus three?

Synthesis is still quite expensive at a penny a base, much less a dime a base. To give a comparison to sequencing, costs are about a penny a megabase (~7 orders of magnitude cheaper). We have a long way to go.

Even for a small bacterial genome (1Mbp) that's $10,000 at a penny a base. To have any real power, I'd want to build at least thousands of them which is a little out of my price range.

Pensions are a fundamentally stupid system. You shouldn't be depending on an employer to fulfill a defined benefit. Even if everything works perfectly (ie. the employer remains solvent and doesn't raid its pension fund), it provides a HUGE disincentive against pursuing job opportunities or entrepreneurship.

The solution is that everyone should be saving for themselves. I fail to see the "con" in people saving for their own retirement.

The con is that pensioners can use the threat of violence to force me to simultaneously save for my own retirement and pay for theirs when they never saved a penny.

Even if defined benefit pensions still existed, I would never get one as I have precisely 0 interest in working for the same employer 10+ years. I don't see why I should be forced to pay for people who are lifers.
and this is just our current understanding, which is certainly going to shift as measurement becomes cheaper and more accurate. iterative science!

I'd suggest starting with the React docs:

https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/why-react.html

And once you understand React you can dive straight into the Redux docs:

http://redux.js.org/index.html

I found it useful to actually read the Redux docs page-by-page (at least the introduction and basics) but it also links to some tutorials.

I actually had to read the basics and advanced sections several times before it fully clicked. It helps if you don't expect Redux to be super complex -- like React it does just one thing: manage your state by responding to actions. If React is the V in your MVC, Redux is the M.

> The reason is because Angular 2 merges Angular Dart and AngularJS into one framework.

One technical reason for a seismic marketing change does not inspire confidence. Is Angular, Angular JS 2.0? Is AngularJS, AngularJS 1.0? Incoherency at the starting gate will not win new converts.

> Can't say I have first hand knowledge, but I have heard that Angular dominates internally at Google.

Company wide usage is fine; the real test is in production outside of the company. Unfair, but if the framework wants to dominate the front-end, then that is its lot in life. FB probably realized how fast that moving goal post would be and resolved limit their scope with React.

> UI Bootstrap is also separate from Angular

It's not the Bootstrap that is bad, but how they use it. At the time in 2013 (and even now) the presentation of the Angular website is pretty ugly. Yes, there are coders who don't care for little UI flourishes. Yes, a pretty framework with bad code is still a bad framework. Yet, when comparing AngularJS's website with competitors like React or Ember or even Backbone, it seems their developers care more for making their software look good. Design as a lagging indicator of quality, perhaps.

> I am currently the lead developer of the project, and not once in my tenure have I deleted any comments

You probably joined after this debacle. Strange that you don't know about it:

http://angularjs.blogspot.com/2013/11/farewell-disqus.html

The reason for removing all the comment threads was ostensibly for easing concerns of moderation. Yet, interestingly, the documentation was not updated for several months after the comments removal. This means that, for several months, all the fixes, suggestions, and the like were no longer viewable for the current version of AngularJS. The solution put forward by the developers for this long interim was to... use Stackoverflow.

Needless to say, Angular users were less than enthused. That the devs didn't seem to engage with the community before or after regarding the sudden change, made me question a number of things about the project.
>You blame an external boogeyman you call "society" for the sins of the individual parents. I do not.

Society is just the action of individuals in the aggregate.

What determines the age at which we consider someone an adult? The answer is cultural norms. My argument is that the trend to treat 18-year-olds as children is growing to the point where more of them act like children than adults.

>Just because many coddle their kin doesn't mean all of society does. Not all kids should be treated as if they were once coddled.

There are 16-year-old kids who can act as capable adults, but the vast majority can't, so we consider them children. 300 years ago this wasn't the case--society changed and the length of childhood increased.

If society changes like this again (and I think it is) the length of childhood will again increase, regardless of whether some 18-year-old kids are capable of acting like adults.

Again, it's happened before. Societal shifts are made up of individual changes like parents "coddling" their children. I'm sure that 200 years ago many people considered not sending 14-year-old kids to work was "coddling".

And you described the real crux of the problem—crony capitalism. The rich financial sector gets bailed out because they are politically connected. The public unions get bailed out with fabulous pensions because they are politically connected. And everyone without a political connection gets the shaft. Politicians take on more debt and kick the can down the road because the kids can’t vote.

The battle isn’t between pensions and the financial sector. That is infighting. The real battle is between the people paying into government and those getting money from the government.

Yes, Angular is better than Closure, the politically acceptable alternative for Google-internal.
> Will DNA be Turing Complete? :)

Actually... quite possibly. Check out the first slide in [1]. You can basically build genetic logic gates using promoters to conditionally (i.e. depending on the presence of light, a protein, etc.) produce a protein to induce or repress another promoter, thereby increasing or decreasing the expression of another gene.

It's still pretty early stages and there are a lot of factors that make this more complicated (life isn't binary), but the ultimate goal of synthetic biology is to be able to program DNA in the same way you might program a computer.

The breadth of the tax base necessary to support the pension plans in question (or, for that matter, broad swaths of other social policies on the liberal agenda) is much wider than is implied by misreporting of the degree of inequality.

Put more simply: Just taxing the rich more isn't enough to pay for everything.

* Code for America: http://codeforamerica.org/

I've done work for all of those plus Wikipedia and Mozilla; glad to answer questions.

It's definitely possible to start tech non-profits, but there's a big question of how to fund them. Personally, I favor models like Kiva, where revenue is closely tied to actual value delivered because that creates a core feedback loop that helps keep people focused.

The more common model, though, is pursuing grants, which I think is currently inimical to good startup practices. It's a very long, expensive fundraising cycle and the way you get money is by promising to do very specific things. But if you're doing anything really innovative, then those promises shackle you to a plan that is months or years out of date.
