I obviously don't know better, which is why I was asking a question. Not being a lawyer, all those exceptions and their conditions are a bit hard to parse…

And, well, they basically have to offer the GPL version, as they're based on GCC. Same as NeXt/Apple did with objective-c, same as Sencha did with ExtJs, if I don't mix legal terms up here, too.

And like the latter, it's aimed at enterprises, so there's quite often a huge jump between doing an app for free and paying for the compiler. Heck, there's not even a publicly available price, which puts this more into Oracle's territory…

Which is fine for corporate environments, where more figures on the bill is actually a bonus for managers (for lack of better knowledge, money == quality). Or when Ada is actually mandated. But for small-timers, it's a hard sell if other related languages would be available -- which this thread is all about.

It definitely seems more in the K/APL territory regarding the price structure than e.g. freemium 3D engines.
Storytelling in an Omnichannel Marketing Environment
No, but I would expect them to stop complaining about current day Germans as a whole nationality, or more accurately, current day Japanese. It's a few hundred years and a different people. Sure, there were similar crimes, but to connect this specific event to them just because of some tenuous connection, such as the color of their skin, is inherently racist in itself.
More than believing in you, it speaks to the importance of empathy.

For those reading this article and wondering about a niche area that is in need of innovators:

LIMS - Laboratory Information Management Systems.

Here's the deal. Most manufacturing companies (think Big Pharma, Petrochemical, Chemical, Widget manufacturing, anything really) measure quality. Those quality measurements are probably done in a laboratory. Every laboratory generates data. All that data needs to be managed well so that the laboratory can maintain its accredidation.

Basically, LIMS systems manage samples and lab result data. In addition, they probably integrate with Instruments and instrument software to automate some of that data entry.
Other industries besides manufacturing are Govt (waste and wastewater treatment labs), Third-party labs (labs that do testing for other companies), Healthcare (clinical labs), Forensic Labs, and more.

Bottom line, there are tons of laboratories and they all need to manage their data.
The players in this space are downright stuck in the last decade. There is so much opportunity here for a few new players.

It's not easy? It's hard to write documentation that's suited for reference AND expert users AND new users.

All of the materials you mentioned are for informing/entertaining people, not training them to acquire new skills. There is a field of study specifically for this: education.

Also, be less patronising.
>So if you are a banker your social circle will be made mostly from your new coworkers and maybe maybe 1 or 2 childhood/college friends if they happen to still live near by. So you are much more likely to marry another banker, lawyer, trader and the likes simply because those are the people you interact with on your day to day, and those are the people you'll be more likely to see after work at less than official capacity.

And if you're an engineer, you end up staying single because there's no women in your social circle at work.
The concept of "privilege" can both exist and have been misconstrued and misapplied to your case by your friends. Also, slavery and Jim Crow can both leave an unfortunate legacy of poverty amongst many African-Americans, and not have prevented your roommates from getting into and affording college. You seem to be saying that since you had black roommates in college (and they could afford it), while you (presumably non-black) endured through strife, discussing racism today is BS. I am not sure how that follows.

If poverty is the problem to be solved, where do you believe the poverty problem comes from? Why is the concept of racism a smokescreen? I can't say that I've seen many people decrying the legacy of institutionalized racism making millions off of that rhetoric. Do you have particular examples in mind?

are all incredibly cheap when compared to human effort in dependency management with dynamic libs. And most Linux packages managers don't elegantly support installation of multiple versions of libs (libfoo and libfoo123 isn't elegant). The way you'd fix that is similar to what the OP is proposing.

Of course, there's many other concerns: but it's not entirely unreasonable.
Why Off-Chain Transactions Hurt Bitcoin
Nah. Eunuch's were either forced into it or chose it for the political/economic potential of the roles they could fulfill as eunuchs. Also, one reason for their castration (in some cultures) was to allow them access to women, because they could be trusted with them (compared to non-castrated male guards).

I could be mistaken, but I was under the impression that the endorsement categories were not a whitelisted set and that you could endorse someone for basically anything.
when I have to take notes from pdf's, webpages, and other sources, I've found Word to still be the most effective. i paste relevant sections in (with a macro to keep only text), and highlight the most important stuff. i have macros set up for condensing text, cutting whitespace, click-and-drag underlining

the biggest advantage of this is how flexible and easily searchable it is if i'm working with different content types.

Yeah, I've heard quite a few interviews with Graham Hancock. I don't know if I can make the leap from a lost history to a lost space-faring history. I also can't make the further leap to "we will discover that space-faring history in the next year".

I guess if it happens then we heard it from you first!
> His counterpoint to you, which I would say has some traction, would likely be that those thinkpiece writers are deploying constructs like "privilege" as a way to discredit the very real struggle of people in groups that don't fall under the accepted rubric of privileged and oppressed, for the very reason that their issues' existence is either ignored or defined out of the category of "systemic oppression."

This is a good point. Its tough when being candid about the struggles of one group discredits the struggle of another. Honesty is important, but not invalidating someone's hardship is also important.
This is an excellent little project to play with if you want to learn more about the functions of the kernel. The accompanying book is a great resource and provides relatively simple projects.
alpha = p/q where p and q are positive integers.

It's finding the set of all possible q that uses divisibility, not finding the least member of that set.
This is an excellent tool for learning Unix-type systems. At < 10K lines, it's much smaller than Linux v1, but has most of the parts of a more mature kernel. The source code is clear, and well documented in its own booklet.

Highly recommended.
I absolutely understand where you're coming from. What about measuring LDL cholesterol (should be <75), BMI (<25), triglycerides (<150), fasting glucose (<100), and blood pressure? I think those are great biometrics for general health. Note, my posts do not constitute medical advice - I am simply sharing my experience and findings which I'm happy to have challenged.
Other animals don't have reasonable alternatives for survival. They are not intelligent enough, like us, to engage in farming practices that would allow them to survive otherwise. They also don't have the faculties to have a nuanced understanding of right and wrong. And even if what those animals do is "wrong," two wrongs don't make a right. There are a great many things that make the idea you've presented unsound.
While I admire the effort to show that other animals are smarter than we give them credit for, I am not aware of any evidence that animals engage in asking questions. Despite teaching animals ways of communicating with us (such as sign language), animals do not ask us questions. This seems to be the defining characteristic of what it means to be human. People begin to ask questions almost as soon as they are able to. I think the sad reality is that these animals are in fact stupid.

To everyone suggesting people send patches in to the original repos instead of using this, or anything like it:

Have you ever tried hunting down the canonical source repo for any of those ancient commands? It's nigh-impossible for many (most?). Seriously, give it a try for one of the small ones that haven't been touched in a few years.
You've got a point there, but I don't see this as a huge deal if they don't begin to abuse their position. Which they might, but I'll reserve my judgement until there's something to judge.

I wouldn't consider "distance" a penalty in most cases; again, our respective opinions here seem just that.
Firstly: just because something behaves in a way doesn't mean we should do it too, or not. It's not relevant to the decision making process, as we are not eating them for what they do, but for what they bring to us. We are intelligent creatures capables of decisions based on something else than instincts, and this should be one of them.

Secondly: our technology allow us a variety of diets and ways of life that the animal primitive way of living does not.

This does not mean you should be vegetarian. I am, and I would certainly not enforce it on anybody. But if you take the decision to be veggie or not, it should be from the perspective of a modern, educated human in the context of our science and society.
This article is full of misnomers.

First of all, the "slaves" were actually kidnapped Africans. They had yet to do a day of forced labor and had not yet undergone the years of conditioning it took to turn a free man into a slave.

Second, the "free men" were actually slave traders. Yes, there was a ban on slave trading at the time, but that didn't stop them.

If you're interested in learning about what happens when kidnapped Africans and free men come into contact, study what happens when slave ships came into contact with pirate ships. As a general rule, pirate ships were egalitarian, as it helped preserve social harmony on the ship. And the composition of the crew was usually multiracial. Over 60% of Blackbeard's crew was black. Oftentimes, when the pirates took control of a slave ship, they would take the goods they wanted, free and arm the kidnapped Africans, and let the ship go on its way.
"Though, fwiw, mainstream Christians consider it heretic for some reason."

That's because it's technically a Gnostic writing, not a Christian one. The relationship between Christianity and Gnosticism is complex, but they are quite different belief systems.
I appreciate your thoughtful comment.

With respect to the law enforcement example, the access there is to non-public data. That seems like an essential difference to me, but perhaps you're citing this situation in preparation for your third paragraph.

In your third paragraph, I think I'm seeing a dilemma. I don't understand how jumping through the hoops changes the potential for abuse.

Let's say 30 people go to the county records office and get the data. They all sign an agreement of some kind. 30 people now have (presumably) exactly the same data set. One of the 30 violates the agreement and publishes it anonymously on the Internet. The data is now "in the wild" and any potential for abuse that it held is now up for grabs.

I recognize that I may be missing something, but if I am, I'm not able to see it. I might need more coffee. ;-)
1. Want to make a lot of money? Find an out-dated system where grunt labor is worth a lot less than the technology the grunt labor uses, and target this gap mercilessly (call centers)

Finding such a system would require you to have some experience with it, knowing the current problems, and then build a solution for it.
This is the case in the article.
Which is not easy I'm guessing, at least as a developer.

Since I don't use "git merge", I have no use for --no-ff. (See "rebase or die" quip in parent.)

git rebase does take --no-ff, but it is silly (except in some special cases, when rewriting strictly local history). (I can't think of what those special cases are).

If you do a fetch and have diverged from upstream changes, "git rebase --no-ff" will rewrite those upstream changes, rather than fast-forward over them, which you almost certainly don't want.
It did not take a lot sleuthing to "figure you out." Bragging that "I make them fondle my balls simply because I can" is sufficient evidence that you are a terrible person.

I knew about a lot of the numbers in this thread, but reading them here blows me away anyway. Mine went like this (all numbers inflation adjusted for 2015, and are base salary. Location is NYC):

Company 1 (~25 employees, entertainment industry. No benefits. No stock.)

1997-2000 $30,757.56 (entry level)

2001-2002 $98,944.97 (junior)

2003 $128,986.96 (senior)

Company 2 (post dot-com crash brought salaries way down, ~150 employees, software company. Ok benefits. No stock.)

2003-2005 $66,838.10 (mid-level)

2006 $77,699.29 (senior)

Company 3 (non-tech startup, 5 full-time employees. OK benefits. Small amount of stock.)

2007 $114,465.95 (senior)

2008-2012 $77,529.03 (senior, pay cut after investments were cut)

Company 4 (~120 employees, ad firm. Goodish benefits. No stock.)

2013 $100,000 (mid-level)

2014 $110,000 (senior)

Not only do company sizes, upward trajectories, educational background, company industry, etc. impact earnings, but where you are in relation to business cycles and booms/busts really matter.
I disliked Mendeley, Zotero and Referencer. I've been thinking about going back to just taking notes in a git repo in markdown (and keeping it on Gitlab or somewhere else that renders markdown properly. Also uploading the PDF to the repo alongside the notes, and having the main README have titles, DOIs and links to the relevant notes. Obviously you can't make citations easy like in any of the actual applications designed for this but I'm more focused on just understanding the material for now.

This is a really strange line of argument. While core.async is popular, nothing precludes you from using other libraries such as promesa https://funcool.github.io/promesa/latest/ that have semantics you seem to prefer.

Second, ClojureScript has great interop with Js, so there's absolutely nothing stopping you from using a Js library/feature if you so choose.

>And now that we have decorators, typed data structures, iteration protocols and a myriad of other tools available to us in ES6/ES7 the only thing that is missing is NATIVE immutable types.

It boggles my mind that somebody could see this as a positive. The biggest problem with ES6 is that JavaScript just keeps growing as a language. It has lots of features and quirks already, and more are getting added. This is what you end up dealing with when using ES6 + React (https://i.imgur.com/AjSTP20.png).

I think the problem with this is that it adds mental overhead when you're reading and writing code. Something that looks like it might be doing one thing does something subtly different. This leads to hard to debug errors and wastes you time. It also distracts you from the actual problem you're solving.
Without looking at the article, my answer was yes, because it's a philosophical nature-of-truth kind of question. (Then I skimmed the article, which is a mildly interesting Cold War intelligence piece.)

What guides my answer is that data models the world in ways tied to its medium and its designed intent. A written description of an event is different from a video of that same event. A description or video that shows more of the event, or less of the event, may also say something different about it. And database fields like "First Name", "Last Name", "Age", "Gender", "Race", "Nationality", "Religion", "Sexuality", etc. are premised on subjective social norms - when systems are designed around those fields they necessarily encode beliefs about how people identify themselves.

When you capture different kinds of data, or when you are presented with a filtered subset of data, your subsequent interpretation of that data changes your view of reality, which subsequently informs your politics.

Art is frequently based around changing the model, which sometimes means changing the medium, but often as not is accomplished through changing more abstract rules about the piece - what techniques, themes, etc. are and are not allowed by design.
That's simply not true. It doesn't matter where your employer is based [1].

Well I'll freely admit that the 3 points I'm not fond of is directly a result of, rightly or wrongly, preferring stories of tenacity to feature sympathetic characters who strive for and achieve success through merit "idealistic" avenues and behaviors. Those areas I mentioned felt a lot like short-cuts, in that glorifying "cold calling with vaporware until we get enough money to actually make software" doesn't strike me as a useful example, if morals are of any value to the person taking action. It just didn't sit right with me, and thus isn't an admirable aspect of the narrative.

On the last point: Of course nothing is a sure thing, and not once has success come from "believing in yourself" trumped "talent and hard work" without straight up dumb luck. Whether starting a business, playing the lottery, or testing gravity by way of jumping off a large building, I think "believing in yourself" is flat out useless. Or, in a different way of phrasing it, "believing in yourself" is about as fundamental to entrepeneurship as waking up and getting out of bed - of course it's necessary, but that doesn't make the "you can do it too!" framing any less vapid.

I'll second this one. I love walking. I've walked all over Chicago, SF, Manhattan, and other cities and there's just something about being _there_, in the moment. It'll never happen the same way again.

Another thing I'll add is people just standing around waiting for something - anything. For the light to turn green at a crosswalk. Waiting for a friend to get done using the restroom after a movie lets out. Waiting for coffee or food. Having a drink. Phones are everywhere, all the time. Nonstop.

The internet has provided a way for me to sustain my livelihood and I love it for that. The same way I love electricity and plumbing. But, I feel like this is just the beginning and there might be some day where no one will pay attention to anything around them. Only their devices.

I think a lot of people are enamored with something more specific, like a "digital backpacker," someone who acts like a backpacking college kid, and then wonders why months of bus travel, hostel living and camping aren't conducive to knowledge work.

I spent age 22-30 in remote coastal South America. I may have been a digital nomad, but I wasn't a backpacker.

I always had a "home base."

Having a "home base", and living somewhere for at least a couple of months (rent a place, or even buy a house, which is what I finally ended up doing in a little fishing village) is far from what some would consider being a "nomad," but personally I think it's more edifying.

Why are you traveling? Is it really that you love packing and moving? Or are you trying to find great places to live in? Focus on the living part first.
