Why hasn't functional programming taken over yet? (stackoverflow)
Americans don't like to admit that the heinous policies of their government effect people around the world .. this would require that culturally they accept responsibility for the actions of their government, which is not something you can get an average American to do, easily, alas. It takes some shock to get an average American to actually do something. Alas, this shock is too often expressed as terrorism.
No argument was made. Japan wasn't mentioned. It was something like, "these are the top ten nations measured by quality of life as judged by the international administration of judgmental assholes, and you can see that they all have lower suicide rates than USA."

When the exclusion is mentioned, and some reference to other, more decisive factors is made, your point might be valid, although in that case one has to wonder why we're not looking at the more decisive factors instead. It is rarely the case that such caveats are mentioned when trying to dress up political opinions in sociological camouflage. USA is a postcolonial nation of the Americas with a large, diverse population. As such, when considering health or violence it should be compared to other postcolonial nations of the Americas with large, diverse populations, e.g. Mexico or Brazil. It's rare for that to take place. TFA succeeds in that, so it has my compliments.
Are you sure you aren't confusing net and gross? The graphic in the article pretty clearly says, "3-6% net profit margin per item". I would take that to mean after accounting for expenses. Meaning they make a profit of between 2-4 million on their 70 million in sales.
Yes, this was something that bugged me as well. In the article, I touched on this by noting that it makes sense to also think of the "contract" definition of an interface. Meaning that the "contract" is really just a set of intentions or guarantees, so it doesn't really 'take up any space'. It would almost seem appropriate to use infinitesimals from calculus when trying to measure how much of the system is composed of the interface. A good interface should be clearly visible from the outside, but it should be as lean as possible to avoid overconstraining what the system can do.

> It certainly has affected me as someone who grew up nerdy and bullied, but most of my coworkers seem pretty happy.

I can very much relate to this. But you grow out of it and I never really considered it a psychological problem. Everybody has his or her thing growing up and for me it was just lack of self-esteem and not fitting into the lifestyle of people around me. But growing up I learned to just ignore it and that made me happier and more confident in the process :)

I don't think it only affects programmers. But when I was at school it was just not particularly common to be interested in computers and that's certainly a factor. Group pressure is a big thing when you're young.
Your pricing is too cheap. Don't do an 8$/mo plan unless you're selling something to millions of consumers. Yours should be:

Free

Startup: 79$/m

Businesses: 399$/mo

Enterprise: call us

You should market this to developers directly, no ads. Find developers at startups that use AWS (tons), email them directly and say something like: hey, I have a startup, it does this, I can walk you through a scan for free myself, would love your feedback and thoughts.

Cold emailing is a good thing here. Keep it short, keep it real, offer something of value and ask advice (everyone loves giving advice).
Media: journalism, music, videos is definitely a hypercompetitive market enabled by the Internet. It's just unclear whether it's "good" for consumers.

Let's sum up.

1. Taxi drivers here are charging 10x than they should, therefore no one use them. everyone uses rickshaw, but that's really bothersome

2. The number of female employees are booming, and it's almost head to head., not 50% though, but exceptionally high these days. and they dont' drive scooty as in India, due to social norms here.

3. Normally, drivers being a muslim country or due to local norms are very nice to women, unlike India where even rape cases were reported.

That's interesting. I also was nerdy and bullied a lot, but I consider myself a pretty happy person now. I've grown far more adept at handling social issues (more self confidence, better at taking social cues, etc), I've become fairly successful, and (ashamedly) I take joy in knowing the people who bullied me growing up are either the opposite of those things or dead (of their own consequence). Even if that wasn't the case though, I get the sense that the reason I have become successful socially and professionally is because of what happened to me growing up. You can't not be who you are, ya know?
This story struck a nerve because (in hindsight) I saw the same thing happening to my brother when he was about 19. He was suddenly interested in astrology, reiki, "tachyon energy disks", epiphanies, angels and demons, the vibrations of the universe.

At the time I thought it was a phase. My mother was always talking (tongue-in-cheek?) about her "parking angel" and burning incense, so I thought he had just picked up that part of her personality.

Turns out he had (and still has, many years later) schizophrenia so he was genuinely using his considerable intelligence to try and make sense of what he saw, heard and felt, drawing on any "truth" he could find.

It really put me off religion and spirituality for a very long time. If these concepts weren't out there and accepted by so many people, maybe he would have been diagnosed and treated sooner and be in a better place today. I don't know.

These days I do think some amount of religion/spirituality is positive, and I think in total it makes the world a better place, but if I ever felt that kind of epiphany personally I know I would head straight to the nearest mental hospital.

I agree, but I want to highlight your 4th point

> 4. Using scientific terms in a nonsensical way: "the social sciences is closer to the quantum domain"

I think that a big part of the problem is trying to make Quantum Mechanics more layman friendly with nice stories without math. Quantum mechanics is unintuitive but the math is very clear, so "anyone" can get the same correct result for an experiment. When you remove the math, you keep only the unintuitive part.

Upvote, and especially for the metaphor (cocaine versus coca) - it summarizes what I've seen in the New Age-ish subculture over the years.

I've had experiences with kundalini - quite definitely. And some woo-woo ness I can't possibly explain unless one is already familiar with the terminology and understandings. Ken Wilbur is a useful read - it's not all garbage.

But "I" was still "I" and understood what was going on and never forced it by heavy duty 100% immersion into the subculture (aka dating the crazy chick). No instances of mania, etc - always came down, after learning some inner stuff. The focus was always on the inner world and self-knowledge, not solving the problems of the universe. The universe can take care of itself.

It's when you go into "inflation" and think "you" are the embodiment of God and all that is where everything goes sideways (aka no sleep for 10 days). To think all the concepts are -literally- true is a sign of a less sophisticated understanding or of schizophrenia, etc - like not understanding the myth of the dead and reborn god is a metaphor, not an actual historical event (people...! really?) but once that metaphor becomes properly understood, then the universe becomes a little more interesting.

Someone with an undiagnosed bipolar disorder is pretty guaranteed problems eventually. I'm glad he's back to normal.
A courageous story. I felt the author captured the pace and psychotic features of a manic episode. Call me a terrible person, but I chuckled when I read about the "Dynamo algorithm to replicate life". I can imagine the author wandering around the hospital with the whitepaper in hand demanding that doctors read it.
Do you have any example React code using composition?
"Compiling against headers is a fairly standard autotools technique for writing portable software"

I agree entirely. But are you arguing that, in general when a program Z links to a library L to run, it is not important for the license of Z and the license of L to both permit it? A conclusion like this eviscerates all Copyleft licenses, so I am loathe to accept it.

I have harped on the close relationship between the organization of zfsonlinux's zfs.git and the linux kernel in multiple threads, because the core claim coming from Canonical is that the code in zfs.git is somehow essentially independent of the linux kernel. They do not articulate what this means or how we can determine whether it's the case in general. So far no definition I've considered seems to paint zfsonlinux in the same light that canonical have claimed.
Is the independent provider in your area using existing poles and/or utility tunnels, rather than erecting/digging their own? If so, why is that okay for them but not for Google?

You probably also look 'pretty happy' to your coworkers. They experience you as you experience them: without any knowledge of what goes on in their minds. Conversation is required to probe deeper. There may be many that have, or at least
understand, your problems.
Well yes, presumably had they all shown up said absence of absences would have become extant.
Sad but true. Combine that with complete lack of interest in understanding what is actually going on...

I am not German so any advice I give may be faulty.

Germany has social services. Quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unemployment_benefits#Germany :

> If a worker is not eligible for the full unemployment benefits or after receiving the full unemployment benefit for the maximum of 12 months, he is able to apply for benefits from the so-called Arbeitslosengeld II (Hartz IV) programme, an open-ended welfare programme which, unlike the US system, ensures people do not fall into penury. A person receiving Hartz IV benefits is paid 399 EUR (2015) a month for living expenses plus the cost of adequate housing (including heating) and health care.

More about it at http://arbeitslos.wikia.com/wiki/Arbeitslosengeld_II . http://i5l.kreis-soest.kdvz.de/integration/downloads/SGB-II-... says that in general students are not eligible.

You need to find if such services are available for students. But it's the weekend and they are likely closed.

There are also volunteer food services, typically called a 'food pantry'. See http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/german-food-bank... :

> Vongehr, 70, a pioneer of the German food-pantry movement, fears that the situation will get even worse in the coming years. One reason, she explains, is that more students are using food banks in Düsseldorf and other university cities. Turning them away would be unfair. On average, university students in Germany have a monthly income of only €864, which, according to the criteria of the German Federal Statistical Office, makes them just as "vulnerable to poverty" as Hartz IV recipients and many retirees.

You should find if such thing exists where you live, go there, and in addition to food, ask for advice. Churches are often connected to social support networks, so even if you are not religious, you might go to one and ask for a pointer.
What do you study? How far along?

I've been lucky to have family that could loan me a bit of money for a while before I got a job when I was broke. But I really didn't want to do that. In this individualistic society being broke makes you feel like a real failure, no matter how bright you are.

If friends or family is not an option I guess any job is better than being broke. Something close to your studies? Like teaching assistant or flipping burgers / cleaning at some place targeting students? I did work as a cleaner and also did inventory checks at retail stores as a student. Pay was lousy but both were quite social jobs...

Some universities and/or student organizations here in Sweden can help out their broke students with a one-time loan of 200€ + ideas on how to get some income. Is something like this available for you in Germany?

Best of luck!
There are a couple different arguments that have been developed to counter the government requests/propaganda for access to our data.

Here, Moxie works on one I don't think has been popularized yet- To reform unjust laws, people must be able to break those laws. That is an argument against allowing the government to have total information awareness, because that access would allow the government to enforce laws perfectly, which would make some unjust laws permanent.

I believe that is the weak bit of the argument- although it's true, there is a big gap between how the government could move from information awareness to perfect enforcement.

Instead, I'd take the argument in the direction that a database of the criminal behavior on every citizen would create the prefect tool for the suppression of dissent. Anyone who became politically inconvenient would have their entries combed for wrongdoing, and their life destroyed.

The weakness with THAT argument is that it assumes a conspiratorial, immoral federal government. Many of us may be able to imagine that, but it's an idea at the periphery of the Overton window.

Which brings me to my point.

We need a reference detailing historic government abuses of data.
It should focus on:

How data was collected
The original purpose of collection
The benign intentions
of the original collectors
How the data moved from the collecting administration
to the abusive administration

It seems like there should be a wealth of historical examples. What data did the Stasi have, Mao's china, the purges of intellectuals in russia and SE Asia. I bet there are even records of Torquemada's Inquisition.

I want us to make the posibility of a good administration collecting data, and then that data being captured or inherited by a bad administration, a part of the mental vocabulary of the US population. Yeah it's ambitious, but I think that is the best chance we have at fighting the Government here. And, I believe that an earnest civil servant could understand the danger, and want to limit his own power, once this was properly explained.

> Low coupling means that the innards of each module are isolated from the others.

Isn't coupling just the complexity of the dependency graph? I would say depending on an interface is coupling as well. In my experience complex static typesystems encourage highly abstracted interfaces which are sometimes even more cancerous dependencies (that doesn't apply for really basic and practical things like Iterables which come with the language).

For this reason, IMHO an even better ideal than coding against interfaces is relying on concrete datatypes that are just a given, like structures and arrays of integers.
>He's no orator – as anyone who's read his books knows, he's not really into words, especially long ones – but he has an undeniable talent for commanding a room.

Apparently the writer has fallen for the oldest trick in oratory:

"I’m no orator, as Brutus is. I’m only, as you know, a plain, blunt man."
You cannot define an algorithm given this specification.
(ie. you cannot determine when to stop).

Take for example the list (1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3) with min=1 and max=3.
Notice that there is no operation giving you the number of element of the list, and no operation giving you access to the elements of the list: you cannot copy elements to a temporary storage, or replace one element for example with a guard value such as min-1.

Therefore you can only call compare, which tells you whether the first and second elements are in order or not, and from that you can only swap or not. Then to make progress, you have to rotate.
You can count the number of rotate and the number of swaps, and if you knew the total number N of elements in the list, you could say that after N-1 negative compare your list is sorted.

But since you don't know N, you cannot stop. Since you cannot read the elements of the list, you cannot even know that you've reach one of the min (if you knew N you could know that even without reading, by noticing that you always had to swap to keep it, but you don't).

Your code cheats, since it's use the length of the list (it's not one of the three operations allowed).

This can't come too soon.

Even for native development, the Nexus 6P is a bit disappointing.
It does have a lot of pixels to carry around but still its real life performances are not up to what I would expect.
Of course, people aren't going to be happy when they packets get dropped or the network monitoring software wasn't able to provide a (soft) real time view of what was happening.

Also note I wasn't doing this alone, it was a very big project a mobile operator.
At the beginning levels, yes.

I've been in a workshop with Woody Zuill, talks by Arlo Belshee, and my team has some mob programming under our belt. We don't use it exclusively, but it's a great tool to have in your toolbelt.

We have a skill-diverse team -- a tech lead, 4 web and backend developers, 2 iOS, 2 Android, and 2 QE (one of whom is moving toward a backend developer.) At any time. we may have 1-2 support tasks and a project. We have a range of junior to senior developers.

Sometimes, we have sufficiently broken-out work that we can keep everyone engaged at a single-stream, but even that's a polite fiction. The junior developers get stuck, which has them spinning their wheels for periods of time until they realize they're stuck, then bring in a more senior engineer whose work is then interrupted. Sometimes, the senior engineers get stuck in analysis paralysis where a discussion would be more productive. That jumps into an impromptu meeting which solves the problem but interrupts half the team as anyone interested hashes the problem out.

Then, there's the tech lead (me) who gets interrupted constantly to the point that it's not worth taking tasks sometimes. There's production support, cross-team support, and intra-team support. That isn't to mention the meetings. :)

And sometimes, the tasks on a project aren't parallelizable, especially at the beginning. It used to be that everyone would get into a giant room and discuss design, then break it out into tasks and go. Mob programming can replace that phase by having everyone in that room do the work to flesh out the idea.

Then there is the work to peer review a decision and test it. When a ticket is in peer review or test, that developer is in full interrupt mode. They may get work done on the next ticket, but it is historically a period of low productivity for a developer.

The fundamental hypothesis of mob programming is that the interruptions of a team combined with the overhead of process are high enough that condensing to a single workstream+ actually doesn't reduce productivity.

If a team is working on a mob, and a production support request comes in, I (or one member of the team) can peel off of the mob and figure it out. If a support ticket comes in, a member of the team can peel off and work on it, have it reviewed by another in the mob, then tested by another, and the single stream workflow is still going. It becomes easier to catch up on what has happened than return to it.

When working on hairier problems, it turns out that a distributed memory works better than holding it in one individual's head. It turns out that it can feel slower but the work happens quicker. Sticking points are resolved quicker rather than devolving into analysis paralysis.

It seems counter-intuitive that the work doesn't slow down, but the decrease in peer review and testing time (because QE has been involved from the beginning thinking about testing scenarios and how to test) that the reduction in overhead compensates for more people working on the same problem.

There are other paths to streamlining a team's efficiency, but this is an interesting one worth trying in some cases.
my thoughts exactly, during a similar event. i was just trying to make sense of things, and due to the gravity of the unfolding events, being jesus or god was a possibility i just couldn't ignore, despite being in full possession of my mental faculties at the time.
Single address spaces: design flaw or feature?
The Story of Mac: A Just-So Story (2005)
Most people have committed a few felonies this year and either don't even know it or don't care.

Once prosecuting people becomes as automated as a license plate scanner generating hundreds of tickets per day, suddenly they are going to wish they had a little more privacy to balance the government being overbearing.

The problem is we give incredibly powerful weapons (both literally and figuratively) to law enforcement and then when going after the real big criminals turns out to be too difficult, they turn their eyes to the easy to catch regular folks with little way to defend themselves, just so crime prevention figures can look good in the budgets.
Interesting, thanks for the enlightenment.
I'm not talking about you, per se, but about hiring for such a job. One could justify a face-to-face interview for a job like that, but if blind hiring became commonplace, you might have to settle for second best in terms of technical ability. This is already typical of technical sales jobs.
