My greatest frustration with JavaScript tooling is that it assumes all sites will be deployed on networks with connections to the internet. Trying to make standalone deployment packages for closed networks has been a nightmare for me.
<i>I like the concept, but it's a non-starter while it's not available on... I don't know... the largest platform</i>

It is slightly unfair to complain about what platforms a developer chooses to publish his/her work on. Perhaps they have been a long term Apple user? Perhaps they don't know anything about Windows development.

Windows may be the largest, but there are so many good apps and developers making a living off the smaller platforms. This doesn't make using their apps a "non-starter".

On the Hunt for a Unicorn
Fair enough, I assumed the angle was less "hey let's kick the tires" and more "the Fed wants to make interest rates negative", since a lot of economists have been recommending the latter.
Hypermodularization sounds like the latest euphemism for Dependency Hell (tm).
"This may help raise demand for labor, but pay can never go higher than productivity, which usually requires capital investments."

In the last decades pay for the average worker has not kept up with productivity.

It would be informative as well to have your list of things that did and did not work with Light Table.
Anecdotally, I've heard of attempts to use things like that in the US, with the result that some people took it as a game to see how big a number they could get. One anecdote I heard told of a set of four of those signs being placed on the side of a freeway overpass, covering four lanes of the freeway, and people were observed to be swerving across all four lanes seeing if they could get a high score on all four signs at once.
Offline and online are the terms I (try) to use when referring to "real life" and "online" for similar reasons: online is still "real life".

I say (try) because hold habits die hard and an occasional "real life" slips in here or there.

>"Can you imagine how much demand there would be if average wage growth would have kept up with productivity? People who make 30000/year would spend much more if they had 40000/year. I don't think a CEO's behavior will change much if he has 30 million or 40 million."

There might be more demand for the consumer goods popular for low-middle income citizens, but then again, this could reduce capital investments and reduce productivity in the long term, thus reducing wage growth in the future. I suppose my answer is that I can't imagine how much 'demand' there would be if average wage growth kept up with productivity, largely because the economy is a complicated beast, and 'demand' is not a simple thing.
> Nope. The Fed is independent of the government

Well, Yellen recently said something along the lines of 'being part of the team' and Bernanke claimed something similar in his book or talks iirc ( sorry, no references atm ).

The whole independent claim is just smoke and mirrors.
I've been following the latest standoff pretty closely, as it's only a couple of hours east of Bend. It's pretty interesting to see the different subsets of people involved, including the lot this article kind of touches on, who seem to like to play "army guys". Scary, too.

After living with nuclear naysayers for decades (and rolling my eyes at them), I hate to be a nuclear naysayer myself; but there's been some use of "pumped hydro" for storing electricity generated by solar power.

The principle is simple: build a hydroelectric dam and run it in reverse. Of course, this can't be done everywhere; you need a lot of peak solar production, a lot of water, and an easily-dammed valley, and you don't often see all three together... But it does get used to store power, and solar plus pumped hydro represent a kinda-sorta alternative to nuclear.
I find this believable. Having real empathy demands strength of character; it requires putting yourself in the shoes of a victim and feeling what it's like to be shat on. If you do it, and still find their suffering to be overblown, then that's your call to make. Most seem not to however: most will simply call an act of cruelty "awfully insensitive" or "woefully misguided" or some light phrase until it happens to them.

Good on you for leaving those weak-minded people behind.

Funny, I didn't realize how little I wanted a tablet until I got a brand new iPad as a signing bonus. I gave it away after half a year to a friend of mine, as for just two millimeters more, I'd have my MacBook Air, with a real operating system, a decent keyboard and an implicit stand that will hold up the screen upright when I'm watching something in bed. Never looked back, tablets just didn't make sense for me.
The Importance of Human-Computer Interaction for Mobile Development
Any launch would take months to prepare at best, and that's with a seriously abbreviated timetable with everybody hustling like crazy.

The only reason Atlantis was even possibly maybe sort of an option is because it was already nearly ready to go, close the end of its preparation for launching its own mission not too much later.

> Like, this code is so perfect that I don't want to touch it.

And the paradox: You want the code to be simple and neat, to make it easy for others to contribute. But, you have to be very strict with accepting contributions to keep it that way... so it's not so easy for them to contribute.
If the rates go negative enough banks will set up cash management tools where money is held as cash rather than on deposit at the bank (i.e. banks won't be able to lend against it).

The existing interbank system couldn't be used for that though, so a parallel reconciliation, netting, and transfer system would have to be set up and dealing with physical cash is fairly expensive (don't forget insurance). I wouldn't expect it unless rates go below -1% and maybe even further.
Gotcha, thanks
What? When it's cost competitive with other technologies... yes, that's exactly the problem with oil becoming cheap again.

You're skimming over the important question: will it be ready soon enough?

Already, the answer is "probably not," and if the price of oil consumption keeps falling, the answer will pretty quickly become "definitely not."

After His Lululemon Trouble, Chip Wilson Tries Again
I think my own personal anecdote is indicative of the majority's experience. It's telling how long ago all the personal electronics in my house were acquired:

2009- My personal PC. Used heavily and daily, 3 monitors, 2 mice, gaming and development.

2011- iPhone4S, wife's phone still in use today.

2011- Nook Simple Touch.

2013- Dell Haswell i5, wife's laptop.

2015- My phone is an iPhone5S. I love this phone. I was on an upgrade treadmill for the last 5 years though with Android. Having gone through 3 phones in that time. Each with the hope I was getting the 'iPhone' of the Android world and never found it (ended on the Samsung GS3 on Cyanogenmod). Including the infamous HTC Thunderbolt. HTC found a good way to get people to replace their device..

The only thing I intend to replace on this list before it breaks is my personal machine built in 2009. That only for VR (something like this with a video card from this summer's selection http://pcpartpicker.com/p/m2gN3C), which may put me on a replacement treadmill again.

If I don't buy a VR headset this year, I'll probably stick with Intel NUCs, particularly Skull Canyon with Iris Pro for the foreseeable future. That may also put me back to more frequent upgrades since the GPU is limited enough to warrant a new NUC in a year or two.

I'm fairly into my devices and there's really little hook IMO for most people to replace anything. Maybe if one has a strong desire for "latest and greatest" but I don't unless I need it. Unless you're on some sort of higher powered gaming treadmill and even then I've been using one from 2009 to this day. Granted, it was born with a $600 Intel 160GB X25-M SSD among other pretty good items that held the test of time.

In Apple's case, they have incentive to have a device last as long as our 4S as the business model is predicated on the AppStore ultimately. Not many businesses are as vertically integrated though so it's a problem when sales decline ~10% for everyone else.
"But being in such a position is rare and a privilege."

It's not so rare as you might think. Of course I only started learning about this once I (accidentally) got introduced into such a 'network' (it's not an organized or sinister plot, just something that organically grows). Plus yes it's only the best who can work like this; which are exactly the ones you want to find. Which was the point of my original post: not having/needing an internet presence signals being high quality, in 2016. It's the chumps that need to shell out the money to the web design firms and SEO guys and 'lead generators' and bidding sites (you know, all the 'elance for plumbers' sites - I know it's the wet dream of most geeks not having to pick up a phone ever again any more, and getting job quotes via email, but it's a sure way to get the bottom feeders...).

If Cedars-Sinai's list of magnesium levels in foods[1] is accurate, it seems to me that it'd be kind of hard not to be deficient a majority of days (sources I'm seeing say you need between 300-400mg/day). Add in trying to get enough of all the other things you're supposed to get such-and-such mg/day of and trying to save time/money by not having to cook with 100 different ingredients every week[2] and you're really in trouble if you want to consistently get enough of all this stuff solely from food sources.

[1] (PDF WARNING!) https://www.cedars-sinai.edu/Patients/Programs-and-Services/...

[2] It seems that comprehensively nutritious eating is firmly at odds with the typical Internet advice: "you guys are so wrong about how much it costs and how much time it takes to cook at home, just do what I do and make a big pot of rice & beans on Sunday then eat leftovers all week, takes an hour and costs me like $2/day"
> I guess the question is do we have models of something like this happening before?

Yes, all the major banks (Goldman, JP Morgan) have models for this kind of thing.

>False. Trolls derive joy from the grief of others that they have inflicted. That's what trolling is. See also: Sadism

You are trying to frame something fundamentally illogical, logically. Trolling just is. It's narcissism at its peak.

Trolling is the opposite of charisma. It's making your point in an extremely childish and negative way instead of educating someone on something and getting them to see your point of view. It's step 1 of persuasion, except most people have moved past this phase subconsciously (as in obviously name calling and acting like a baby won't get you what you want) and those who haven't, are branded as trolls.

I definitely plan on checking this out. Another nice programmer's notebook I've been using for awhile is Marxico https://marxi.co/. It's integrated with Evernote, but I think you can use it standalone.

It supports Markdown, code snippets (in markdown ```), latex and sequence/flowchart diagrams.

To me it feels a little more natural to write a markdown document rather then thinking about each block of text as "cells".
From Journal of Immunology with impact factor 4.92

Note the following quotes are take from an article that's "aim is to sound a word of caution" about the use of mice as a substitute for human studies. Even they note how well mice have served and will continue to serve as a model for human biology.

"Mice are the mainstay of in vivo immunological experimentation and in many respects they mirror human biology remarkably well."

"In this review our aim is not to suggest that the mouse is an invalid model system for human biology. Clearly, with so many paradigms that translate well between the species, and with the relative ease with which mice can now be genetically manipulated, mouse models will continue to provide important information for many years to come.

NYT is one of the highest quality newspapers and has one of the best websites. They are doing great stuff, still do a lot real journalism. Their apps on AppStore, Amazon fire, etc are popular.
I wish I had something eloquent to say here. But what I've realized that the online world is not any lesser or greater than the real one, it's just a completely different one with it's own social dynamics. People impart virual actions on each other with real consequences.

Otherwise I don't think I have special insight into people's morals and ethics. People remain complicated. You just get a better chance to see them in a different light when you expose them to a different medium.

> "A better life for everyone" is economic growth, by definition (the creation of more value - whether tangible or not - given access to the same limited input resources).

But GDP only measures value that gets traded for money, not all value created. For example, if I care for my child at home for free, I'm creating value that isn't measured in the GDP. If instead I send my child to a child care facility, that is measured.

Sure, the easiest is 4-Androstenedione. It worked as intended. Maybe a little hard on the liver but that's pretty common for the type of compound it was. I say the removal is suspect because the claims of its dangers outwardly appear politically motivated.

Keep in mind this was what Mark McGwire claimed he was taking legally during the height of the steroid era in baseball (which he may have been - but if Canseco is to be believed he was using "real" AAS as well).

Another would be ephedra, in that it did what it claimed, but irresponsible people (apparently) thought eating handfuls of the pills would be a great idea. Several high-profile heat stroke cases as well. I'm not saying it's 100% side-effect free or safe or whatever, but it did what it stated, got a bad rap, and is now banned/illegal.

I'd love to see a comparison between the number of 4-AD and Ephedra related deaths vs. acetaminophen poisoning, which the CDC notes is about 33,000 cases per year (25% unintentional).

Winning 5 games to 0 probably isn't blind luck.

There's no clear definition of "mastery." Honinbō Shusaku was a master. Honinbō Shūsai, Go Seigen, and Minoru Kitani would also be considered masters. As time marches on, average player skill increases. While Honinbō Shusaku was among the strongest players of his day, he would be hard pressed to hold his own against professionals in today's era.

I think it's fair to say that anyone who reaches shodan (1 dan professional) plays at the master level. The difference between 1 dan professional (1P) and 9 dan professional (9P) is three stones, or roughly 30 points. In amateur play, for comparison, the difference between a 1 dan and 3 dan is about 2 stones (roughly 20 points).

AlphaGo won 5 straight games against a 2 dan professional player. That puts AlphaGo around 3P, well into the master range.

In Go, the ranks are:

30 kyu amateur (never played)
1 kyu amateur (understands the game)
1 dan amateur (mastered the basics)
7 dan amateur (nearly professional strength)
shodan (1 dan professional)
9 dan (top ranking professional)
