But that's the point. We have intelligence and morals. It's what we base our humanity on - achievements in the realm of mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry, etc. We cannot use "well we're animals" as justification for intellectually reprehensible acts like torture. A cogent human has no business factory farming, ie. torturing animals for tastebud entropy unless it's by necessity. Hunting and eating animals is a blurred line but I'd generally say its OK given that it's a lot more filled with respect and lack of torture than the meat industry.

One thing that helped me avoid a German accent while speaking English, was to imitate a heavy German accent and observe what was really the essence of it, then just avoiding these "mistakes".

For example, here are the things that make up most of the German accent of English:

- pronouncing "th" as "s" (Germans apparently don't know how to put one's tongue tip on the upper teeth)

- pronouncing "w" as "v" (like the German "w") instead of as "u"

- sharper pronounciation of initial vowels (i.e. when a word starts with a vowel) and "h"
I see what you did there...

Truth be told, it most likely would be called QuorF.
This is, I suspect, a byproduct of the fact that they handle (the vast majority of) their own frontline customer support and repairs. The most commonly-repaired parts are designed to make the process as efficient as possible for the Apple Store techs.
Didn't Borland suffer a massive brain-drain and all the developers left after the C++ Architect mismanagement? The VCL is full of bugs isn't it? And suffers horrible redraw and flicker the last time I used it (years and years ago!)
As a Go programmer, I must say that he would probably like the language, but the current Go market is very much web-focused. Most of the time you'd end up working full stack so he would be back to that particular JS-inspired hell.

You won't find many startups hiring someone to do the kind of work the OP is looking for, but there's still plenty of C and assembly programming going on.
This is really not meant in a mocking way and it could be different on Amazon Germany but are you sure you didn't check this box by accident which tells them to send your stuff as soon as possible? Before I had Amazon Prime I always made sure to check free shipping even if it meant that I had to wait longer until all items were available so they could be shipped in a single box.
I let my Prime trial subscription lapse for these same reasons, plus the apparently requirement that I update my two x laptops and TVs to be DRM compliant to stream Amazon Video. The non-DRM capable resolution was worse than Youtube 240p. No chance.

New Programming Languages Keep Chipping Away at the Old
I feel like this is a bad argument to be making. If a language's "level of suck" were based on its ability to write operating systems, then the massive boost in programmer productivity we see today from languages which sought to depart from that domain wouldn't exist. Tangential to that, I consider Rust a "fun" language compared to C++, and it is definitely capable of doing anything C++ can do[1].

By the way, Midori[2] was written in C#. Granted it had its own AOT compiler and started to diverge into a different language, but nevertheless, it was C#. I'd suggest looking through Joe Duffy's blog posts[3] as he explains it better than I could.

I remember that you had to keep the installer lying around in Documents and Settings (Users) for it to install updates or uninstall. So gigs of data just sat there. And it took FOREVER to install.

I remember the Intellisense would do the equivalent of a disk defragment whenever you wanted it to pop up. CodeGuard gave many false positives. The linker would crash frequently. The VCL is mostly Delphi code as far as I remember with C++ bindings in some way?? It had bugs.

The TClientDataSet item would get incredibly slow when it grew to any significant size. STL containers are 4000% superior.

I suppose this is why compiler-extensions were advised against by Bjarne, but necessary when they were introduced as the standard C++ didn't support all the __fastcall stuff Borland wanted to do, I suppose?
Whether he can retire on 600k would depend on where he chooses to live. Certainly it would be financial suicide to try to do so in the SF Bay Area. You'd likely be able to live quite well in many parts of SE Asia. He may very well be able to afford a decent life in various parts of the world.

Regarding looking forward, one could theoretically just buy an annuity (I don't actually recommend this), or live in a country with a deflationary economy. "Investing" in the most commonly cited way, isn't the only way to provide cash flow from a nest egg and protect against inflation.

I myself run a very conventional asset allocation for my own portfolio. Generally speaking, what you say is prudent advice and is good wisdom. But that doesn't mean that there are other, particular, ways to go about designing one's financial life (sort of like edge cases), and his choices shouldn't automatically be considered nonstarters.
Hi
Could you explain, technically, how and by what you think the brain waves are being manipulated?
Thanks
>It was almost as though CS tries to discourage its usage simply because "most minds cannot understand it as easily as iterative loops".

Wouldn't that be enough reason? They're supposed to teach you how to write good code, and that includes readable code.
Rare U.S. Power Sales Gain Reveals Bright Spots in Oil's Bust
I think there needs to be another control group - people who are not aware that they are doing the experiment.

The reason is that I am not convinced that this experiment shows causality with regards to the transferred brain waves - rather that it shows that novice pilots who think they may be getting expert-pilot brainwaves sent to them, simply perform better.

Which is to say, I think that what this experiment shows is that those who have willed themselves to be recipients of expert-pilot brainwaves, simply become better pilots.
In what scenario do you prefer recursion over a loop? Your comment made me think of code readability and maintainability. But I'm not judging. Really curious how you manage to prefer recursion over loops.
wxWidgets is also good as an alternative to Qt, but with a smaller community. I use it and don't have any problems with it (a few bugs in the wxAui classes though).

I think everyone left Borland after their C++ Architect project was binned, the Kylix attempt ("building font metrics..."), they changed their name and core idea, and the Delphi language designer was head-hunted to design C# for Microsoft (unless I am mistaken??).

They released a PHP editor but I can't see them selling much of that.
Hey Adam. I had a question :) I was curious about what sort of model you used to program the "AI" part of it?
I'm 47 and am currently doing work in C, C++ (as little as possible to tell the truth) and Lua. While I'm in a small department (3 man team excluding our temporary manager [1]) I'm also the youngest one on the team (and even more oddly, the one with the most seniority on the team). So I'm sure you'll be able to find something.

[1] The department I work in is needed in our company, but it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the company [2], so finding a manager has been ... interesting as the only other person in the company that understands what we do is a vice president of the company who is busy with other work.

[2] The company as a whole develops software for Android phones. My department is there to support our software on the call processing side of things, so we get to deal with SS7.
I agree. They discuss them on their obituaries podcasts where the military subjects are called "moustaches".

They occasionally bundle them up into books which are always worth a read (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Daily-Telegraph-Book-Military-Obitua...). I also have the military obituaries rss feed post into my Pocket account as well.

Knowing AI will be useless, it'll be like knowing and programming assembly language, for high end specialists only.

You'll get a framework/app/api that will deliver you the info programmed by someone really into AI.

It'll be business as usual.

> We are not the target audience of this letter

Maybe, but it's fun to discuss, and there are enough of us spread throughout that can educate on this single issue. It's pretty easy for me to explain to my non-tech friends the implications of what the FBI is asking. Word of mouth travels fast and I would give pro-encryption the upper hand in this "debate". I have not heard anyone outside government protesting that Apple yield on this issue and I doubt I will.

In fact, the only ones who speak up against encryption are those who do not listen to the people. Since they're supposed to represent us, they will be very easy to not vote for.

Like you said though, it isn't even a question, encryption is here to stay whether the American government permits it or not. Ironically, by putting up such a fight, the government is simply telling criminals where the weak points are in law enforcement, and are thus empowering criminals.

I hope our government can have a good sit down with tech company leaders and experts in cryptology. Despite Comey's request to have an open discussion, they seem to be excluding this group. It's apparent from his discourse, Hillary's, and Obama's that they've spent no time sincerely listening to anyone with any knowledge about the benefits of encryption. The "conversation" he so desires has only happened in Washington among people with no tech background. Presumably there will be some public hearings coming up.

The wikipedia article [1] describes it pretty well. It's a fascinating concept and if you find it interesting I can highly recommend the book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, by the guy who introduced the concept.

Personally I'd say when it comes to happiness 'flow' is a bit too narrow a concept. Or rather, it's a specific form of 'wu-wei' ("natural action, or in other words, action that does not involve struggle or excessive effort").

A great book on wu-wei which also references the concept of flow is 'Trying Not To Try'. I can strongly recommend this book as well. Especially it's final chapter(s) provided a lot of food for thought.

While still a work in progress, the guys at Datt (Decentralize All The Things) are working on a decentralized Reddit alternative that will "run in a web browser and can be used as easily as any web app". What I find interesting about that project is that there are plans to integrate payments.

All successful decentralized applications are based on an implicit economic model (like trading data for data in BitTorrent). Without payment integration these systems are using a barter instead of a market system. When decentralized apps start to integrate payment systems they will move from barter to market economies, which will unleash a new wave of innovation imo.

Prime subscriber here, though it's the UK model (next-day delivery on many things, plus Amazon Video as a perk).

My approach on it is somewhat different to many others here. I can order some stuff before 8pm and have it delivered next day. Things ordered earlier in the day (pre-noon) could be any courier, but the post-6pm orders are almost always delivered by DPD to my area (north Cornwall, EX23 postcode).

Talking with my regular courier, so take this as anecdotal rather than cited, there are apparently courier representatives (brokers) at some major depots that bid on the packages as they are being readied: presumably, lowest bidder wins the business.

I also use Prime for earning download credit. I can select a slow delivery option for my order [0] if I'm not in a hurry, and get 1GBP as a kickback. In November and December, this increases to 3GBP.

Over the year, I typically place 200+ orders (some for me, some for clients) and most are slow delivery. This effectively means I make money on the Prime subscription, and I can expand my Kindle library without spending real money. At any given time, I have about >5GBP in digital credit [1] - there are supposed to be expiry dates on it, but I've never fallen foul of it.

Honest feedback — I tried the service for 20 minutes (that's the amount of time that life allowed) and it felt promising. But you are fighting a hard battle here:

* "6 free sessions left" might not be enough for me to make sure that the music doesn't engage my creative hemisphere too much (I see this problem with most musical content),

* the pricing is fairly high. I'm in Poland and I pay $5 a month for Spotify, this is what you are compared to. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I need a fairly good justification to pay you $7/month just for ambient work music.

* I could not find out if there is an iPhone app. There seems to be, but I can't find it in the app store, and can't find mention of it on the web. This is important, I often work out of cafes, and I need a phone app with offline capability.

Vivek Wadhwa: Forget the IPO, Build a Lifestyle Business
There's a fundamental tension between mark-to-market capital requirements and the basic functions of banking. I've heard it argued that Lehman would still be in business if they hadn't been required to mark-to-market - that it wasn't their global view of risk that failed, but a panic in the market that sparked a (in some sense irrational) sell-off. And a big reason for AIG's involvement was differences in risk-modelling requirements between banking and insurance. Of course at the same time the reason for those requirements is to prevent a bigger bailout further down the line - like any risky business, we give them a certain amount of rope, but eventually call everything in.

There's no easy answer. The traditional line is that governments should act as a lender of last resort, but charge a penalty rate when doing so, which sounds reasonable to me.

First, it is slightly cheaper; and second, it has the words ‘Don’t Panic’ inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.”

Static analysis and Valgrind are wonderful.

This being said, I think I was six months into using 'C' when I mostly stopped having memory errors. Mainly, you construct the operations against memory objects based on building up series of constraints. This is less trouble than it sounds.

You learn to conform to the expectations of the language and libraries. And you use less of 'C' than there is to use. And when things get past a certain level of complexity, I tend towards making them state machines.

Should you have to do that? I have no idea. I do agree that based on most other people's 'C' code, it does appear to be painful for a great many people.
I'd like to know if anybody has considered the possiblity of a technical error, and submitted a bug (does twitter have a public bug tracker or a contact for bugs?).
