I am still unsure why anyone uses Atom when it consumes so many resources. The emacs instance I have had open for some time now is using 92Mb. Atom instances have been reported in the hundreds of megabytes [1]. Of course, this is because it is actually a web application running in an entire browser, renderer and helper processes included.

I understand the need for people to be able to "easily" hack on it (easily in quotes here because really that just means "people who know web languages"), but that goal could still be accomplished in a native application that embedded a JS runtime for plugins.

It makes you wonder what it would cost to built updated versions of the A-10 and F-18.
Producing art with a computer does not go against what has been previously done?

You can't even recognize "genius", which this is. It directly challenges the definition of "art", which is pretty wonderful.
Can you not just clone the shitty product so existing training is still useful? Do software companies enforce copyrights on things like the location of buttons and the names of menu items?

I have the IKEA Skarsta desk too. I am 6'3" tall. Yes, it does wobble a bit. It wobbles less if all pieces are tightened well. For me it is a non-issue even at full height with my laptop. Overall, it's a solid purchased depending on your use case.

> it's not THE Difference Engine

Couldn't be, Babbage never finished it, switched to the Analytical Engine (burning his government funding bridges) and never finished that either.

The subject of the article also isn't the original design, they're the No. 2 design following lessons learned working on the Analytical Engine.

Of note: on top of the two Difference Engines, the Science Museum built the printer which Babbage had designed for the Engine. Babbage had realised that many table errors came from typesetting transcription errors, so the printer was designed to produce stereotype plates, templates for mass-printing with limited room for human error.

Also contrary to what the article seems to say, Myhrvold didn't fund the first DE reconstruction. He commissioned one, and part of that commission was used to build the printer.
I guess I won't be able to see it again if I head down to SF for the GDC. Alas, at least I got to see it in action and have some photos.

Might have to go to the closer one in London then.

Lessons from Parse
It has been a long time since I read it; but I don't consider "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" a 'how to get rich' book.

The real benefit I got from that book was how it draws a line between a liability and an asset. For example, a car is not an asset; especially if you had to take a loan to pay it off. That is something that takes money away from your cash flow every month; not add to it.

A rental house that brings in money every month is an asset. The book goes on to say you should never get rid of an asset unless you are replacing it with another 'more valuable' asset.
Fun fact: in my almost 10 years experience in banking I've never met anyone in the industry, who'd consider the book not a scam.

And you know you're in trouble, if even bankers consider you a scam.

Similar lessons, less smarmy (own the ladder? dude, stfu).
I've always found the "what is art?" question to be pretty hilarious. It doesn't matter if the medium is a picture, a book, a movie, or a game. Great media has a thesis and does a great job of convincing the recipient that their thesis is true using Show-Not-Tell.
Very cool.

s/loosing/losing/ Not a big deal, but it may as well be right. :)

I can see this being used in a smallish shop without "outside" stakeholders. But not in a large org with lots of smart but non-development stakeholders, like say clinical specialists or biologists in a medical device company.
Is there precedent for a judge overturning a jury's verdict immediately after it's handed down? I imagine you'd need a reason quite a bit above and beyond "I disagree" but even so I'm not sure if that would violate the right to a jury trial or not.

Problem here is that we don't have "scientific" viable moral framework. Western values are built on the fading influences of Catholicism and Protestantism, neither is coming back. Utilitarianism has been trying to break into mainstream, but its not really applicable to real life.

Then there is individualism. But it has gone bit too far. It is currently making people lonely, unsafe and unhappy. Then as persons yearn for collectivity, they are giving up their privacy in virtualized group meetings over internet.
You're still missing the point. GitHub repos can be downloaded as a zip, because the zip file extension is easily compatible on all major operating systems.
According to The Millionaire Next Door; I am not sure this is true. Many children of 'rich people' have their lifestyle funded by their parents and only learn how to spend beyond their means; which does not accumulate them wealth in the long-term.

I would say that there is just a little overhead as Postgres data volume is mounted inside Docker container. Running Postgres in docker container without volumes would have a bigger impact.

And Docker container is not a VM, so I don't like to use word Virtualization for containers :)
The A-10 is a disaster that needs to be retired. It's completely incapable of facing modern air defences, so is useless against enemies like China or Russia, and has operating costs 30 times higher than a dedicated COIN aircraft like the Super Tucano, meaning you have a lot fewer aircraft supporting your troops than you should have, or end up spending way too much money.
Even the salaryman can calculate his hourly rate.

I am salaried, but when I sat down and calculated my hourly rate, I was a little shocked. I didn't factor in benefits or anything besides my after tax take home pay. It's as simple as $(2 week paycheck) / 80. What you get is effectively your hourly rate.

As a salaryman, knowing this value will help you avoid working overtime since overtime is unpaid. The more hours you work, the less your effective hourly rate. I would argue that if you are asked (either implicitly or explicitly) to work more than 40 hours a week, you should find a different job as you are diluting your own pay.

The github link is above (that's where the development happens). If you're interested in ESP8266 port specifically, currently the best way to contribute is to back Kickstarter campaign, and spread the word about it. (We ran ESP8266 as community project for some time, and that code is available in the git right away, and few people got quite far with it, but as a co-maintainer of MicroPython, I have to admit that it lacks many things, and have some issues - that's why we started a Kickstarter, to develop it in professional manner).
Doing complex modelling in Excel is not a good idea. There is no way to do proper software engineering, so bugs are common and hard to find. For examples, see

It would be interesting. But I would also note that Docker doesn't do virtualization. It uses e.g. mount namespaces to mount an existing Linux volume inside the container (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/namespaces.7.html).
The financial success for the producing company of a military jet has nothing to do with his fighting capabilities, reliability or whatever. The main factor is how good the bribery engine works. Take a look at the starfighter history.

Conservatism and Y Combinator's Proposed Basic Income Research
I find it fascinating that people react so violently to the notion that virtualization is dying. And being ex-VMware myself from the pre-IPO days, there's no need to sell me on the virtues of virtualization.

The point is, when you're talking about building up large datacenters from scratch, virtualization is an unnecessary expense. My ex-VMware coworkers have spread through the Valley, and when I chat with them, they are saying the same things.

Apple Siri is 100% on bare metal and Mesos. My friends at Uber also say the same thing, that they don't use virtualization at all, and the ex-VP of engineering of VMware is there now. My friends at HDP who see a lot more customers and installations that I do say that they haven't seen any of their customers using virtualization at all, they see bare metal and mesos/yarn. Someone on the previous thread mentioned Spotify is the same way.

If you're building up a datacenter from scratch, the trend is to now use bare metal and avoid virtualization altogether. Sure, if you're currently a datacenter with virtualization, you're not going to rip it out. As I mentioned above, it's not dead, and it will still be around 10 years from. But it will be relegated to a legacy app.

Plus banks have a monopoly on money creation and can create it with zero cost, ramping up land prices and soaking up all productivity gains into land. All the rentier need do is kick back and wait for the state to add value so they can charge more rent. Henry George knew it but it seems today nobody has the faintest idea how money works:

A lot of good points about the language. I use Objective-C++ too, and it has been very convenient even before Clang came along.

One problem though (which I found years ago but I believe is still true): Objective-C exceptions did not properly call C++ destructors. This can hose RAII objects when an NSException shows up unexpectedly. The work-around I found was to essentially add a "@catch" in key areas and manually tear down key objects but I never found a perfect solution.
That's why Debian Stable and RHEL exist. Security patches don't break the API.
Yep.

Edit: To be clear, I wasn't saying it was lower.

Money as "life energy" approach helps me be thrifty, but my real struggle is how do I asses risk when I want to buy an asset. If I wanted to use $500 from my work to buy a share of SpaceX, does it provide a better return than any other investment at some acceptable risk ? I don't see the life energy approach as helping this question but I need to read the book you recommend.

Note that SpaceX is not publically traded, but it represents assets I would like to own.

But then the energy firm will just offer a ridiculously low price, where else will the homeowner sell the energy to but their monopoly energy provider. In a competitive market this may be a suitable option but it doesnt sound like the energy market in this location could be considered competitive.

> Ask any economist what issue they agree on, and the first answer you’re likely to hear is “free trade is good.” The general public disagrees vehemently, but economists are almost unanimous on this point.

I've never heard an economist claim free trade will lead to lower unemployment. I've heard that it will lead to more efficient markets. But efficiency != equality, and its completely possible the gains go to the top while the losses go to the bottom.

How to understand your team's irrational behavior
You are not very good in exponential growth.

Since non Muslims in France have a natality rate of 1.70 per woman (in fact it's lower you can see why in the link) and Muslim a rate of 3 . And since there is a 0.1% of total French population yearly migration from muslim countries into France.

60 years into the future with generations of 20 years each and NOT increasing the number of yearly migrants you have:

Non Muslim: 65 x (1.7/2)^4 = 34 million

Muslim: (((5 x 3/2+(20 x 67/1000)) x 3/2+(20 x 67/1000)) x 3/2+(20 x 67/1000)) x 3/2 = 35 million

This, not counting the new increase you are having due to the extreme increase in migration this last year.

This quote from that link sums it up best for me:

"But you have to admire a guy who can spin two or three paragraphs of very ordinary financial platitudes into such a range of books."

Luckily I bought my copy at a library book sale for something like 50 cents. I quit after reading half of it, because there's just nothing there.
Actually, this sounds a lot like the F22 program. They had tons of software bugs as well and management basically came in and told them they were behind schedule to screw testing and get back on schedule.
Depends if you consider only your nation and your people important. If you place more value in humanity itself, then free trade puts the benefits of corporations and humanity before the benefit of nations.
> The way I see it, pip and virtualenv are not practical for deployment or distribution. You shouldn't have to download and install things during a production deployment. I even created a tool (https://github.com/objectified/vdist) to mitigate this problem, but it will always be a hack when doing it this way.

Please excuse my newbness but doesn't python wheel do most of this (besides compiling to a single package)?
tar zxvf! For tar.gz. Never, ever understood why the tar command can't just read the extension and determine the required long list of options needed for successful extraction. Whether I can remember tar xvjpf (for tar.bz2 files) depends on many things, not sure which. To be honest, I like it when I hit a .zip, I can just type "unzip x"...

Nice xkcd :)
Depends on the perspective you read the book, it could be life changing. While I disagree with his manners described in the book, I totally agree with the way he described different mind sets between a business owner and a public sector employee.
4% GDP growth year-on-year while a bit on the wishy side is not THAT optimistic of an assumption. On the other hand, 59% in 20 years of moving poverty line is essentially just accounting for the inflation. It's true that the budget is not inflation adjusted, but I think 3-4% GDP growth on average is achievable (3 would push the limit quite a few years in the future of course)
I've seen it mentioned in at least one article that the VTOL requirement is driven by the USMC's institutional memory of Guadalcanal. They don't want to get left on the beach without air support again, so they insist on having their own aircraft with VTOL capability. How valid a concern that is is..up for debate, in the era of nuclear supercarriers and jet aircraft.

That's the thing, they don't loan the money, they create it, banks haven't functioned the way they're popularly imagined to function for centuries. And it's so sad that this false image is the moral basis for banks going after borrowers assets.

The bank doesn't lend you someone else's money, it creates the money(no effort) and you have to work and put up real collateral to pay it back.

By G-d we should all be working to expose and undo this madness.

Word certainly is, at least on OS X. Within an hour of my first time using it in a decade last week, I caused it to beachball for five minutes straight by clicking a single button (select all text of a given style). It then took me over an hour to figure out why my TOC entries had no spacing between their numbers and titles (hint: it wasn't the spacing setting), and another hour to figure out why, after I "fixed" the spacing issue, why my chapter numbering was all messed up (the "solution" was to reformat each chapter heading with the same format it already had).

It has terrible default orphan/widow control, and editing anything graphical is a royal pain in the ass: the slightest wrong touch can throw your diagram into disarray. Those that "know" how to use it I've noticed seem to have near-infinite patience and knowledge of where all of Word's "land mines" are and how to avoid them.

People use it because it bundles in every obscure feature under the sun, so it's effectively the lowest common denominator when it comes to meeting an organizations' needs. And for those who already know how to use it, I suspect the sunk cost fallacy keeps them there.
Compare the U.S. Constitution (7,200 words) to the E.U. Constitution (76,000 words). Many comments are focusing on the mechanics and details. That approach leads down the road to 76,000 words. The goal is a macro issue, not a micro issue. Committing to a basic income is something that should be done for the same reasons we go to war or go to the moon. Not because it is easy or profitable but because it is what we want to do and believe we have a moral imperative to do. A basic income does not require that everyone become industrious. Nor does it guarantee national economic superiority. It is simply, and profoundly, a commitment to ensuring that every individual shares in the economic wealth generated by our society.

I also find that it tends to be more concise which lends to denser code. The density can be a bit off putting until you become accustom to reading it. The other part that is weird is having all of the closing parenthesis on a the last line.
Consider the idiomatic way:

(defn do_stuff
[coll]
(filter #(> % 10) (map Math/sqrt coll)))

Vs

(defn do_stuff
[coll]
(filter #(> % 10)
(map Math/sqrt coll)
)
)

Even though this is the same code, if you are coming from a c-style background the latter is probably easier to read.

Doesn't this all depend on how you use that specific debt?

If you use the above example, if I can generate $500k each year using $1m in debt, how is perpetually serving the interest expense on that debt bad then?

Use it well, you can create additional profits. Use it poorly, you'll end up with nothing (or even lose capital).

Maybe you mean that the lever effect shouldn't exist, so that it's a zero sum game?
I'm with you on this brother. Keep telling people. Think back to 2006, you hardly saw anyone criticise the system in this way, now I see it all the time. It's coming.
There's no such thing as a scientific moral framework; the concept is incoherent, like a four-sided triangle. Science answers "is" questions, not "ought" questions.

Science can inform moral decisions by providing information about which actions will achieve the goals set by a moral framework, but not can't provide you with a moral framework.

(Specific religions also probably get too much credit for providing moral framework; while its not an incoherent idea, its usually inaccurate -- usually, a moral framework coevolves with a religion, or has a religion constructed -- ot split off from some predecesssor -- to support it, rather than really emerging from the religion.)
Funny, I've been using a mouse since the eighties. Not at all minimizing your RSSI issues.

I've often thought that the reason I don't have RSSI and shoulder issues (which one can get using a mouse) is that I amp the acceleration (or whatever the term is) up all the way. I use a small mouse (currently a wireless logitech, thanks Doug) and I can move my pointer quickly and precisely across the entire screen while keeping the outside pad of my lower hand (near the wrist) resting on the desk (or couch at the moment). I move the mouse entirely with my fingers, no wrist or shoulder movement at all. If you watched my hand moving the mouse, and took the mouse out from under it, it would like like I was gently scratching the desk/couch.

The downside is that when someone else walks up to my machine to show me something they get vertigo when they first move the mouse.
