Your post reminded me of a quote from Hayek:

>"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design."

I think you bring up an interesting parallel between Hayek's conception of the purpose of economics and the common view of science fiction. Being an avid reader of both, this seems to be a great synergy!
Sure, lots of things affect your quality of life, some slightly and some greatly.

However, the job market is qualitatively different, which is why it should be held to different standards. Loneliness is definitely harmful, but still many people don't want sexual/life partners. However, everyone needs to eat and have some sort of shelter and access to health services. If you lack money for this, you either die or become a burden to someone else, possibly the state.

Coming back to what I believe was the parent's point when they said "in America the market determines your self worth", your worth as a person isn't -- shouldn't be! -- how much money you make or even whether you have a job. That simply doesn't seem right to me.
When does it do it "automatically"? On save? Also I haven't noticed it working while debugging, which works smoothly in eclipse.

Also the Save Actions in general, I have found eclipse to be better (even over the special Save Action plugin for IJ).
I'm blown away that it was not free and open source already. I remember downloading it. I remember using it. I remember poking through the source at one point. If it was proprietary software, it had the worst marketing program ever. I had absolutely no idea there was any sort of paid alternative.
I think people (managers) have become scared of firing and so try to avoid all risk. Having had to do it is never fun, but it becomes easier the more you do. The first time I had to fire someone I tried everything I could to avoid it and made the situation worse by dragging out the whole process.

The other reason is the company is not really looking to hire, just placate their current employees - "yes we know you are over worked, just hang in there while we hire someone to take off the load".
The Purpose of User Stories
I grew up right outside DC (a few blocks from NIH) and while I didn't lose anyone on 9/11, I came pretty close and know plenty of people who did.

The freedom we lost on 9/11 make the lives we lost pale in comparison. People grieve but get over the loss of their loved ones. Death is a normal part of life, however horrific, and people can cope with it.

The things I've seen since 9/11, some of them I find harder to cope with. Police carrying submachine guns on street corners; every government building sprouting snipers and anti-tank barricades and razor wire; oblique-angled antennae-sprouting APCs and god knows what else carrying legions of power-armored riot police at every protest. America looks scarier now. It's hard to feel safe in an environment like this, where you feel besieged by an invisible enemy.

Of course, this is exactly the intention of the people carrying out these policies, and ironically, also the intention of the terrorists. Politics make strange bedfellows indeed -- it's not hard to see how the Pentagon has seized on terrorism as a way to increase its own power, and conversely, as the Pentagon acts against "global terror," "global terror" is able to ratchet up the propaganda and recruit even more jihadists to the cause.

Terrorism has had an impact because people in the United States wanted it to.
Are you sure you're not mixing up Skype, which is just the traditional voip network, and "Skype for business" (aka Lync) which is part of Office but a very different product?
I agree with how important quality of sleep can be.

One of the hardest things for me was learning to sleep on my back. Just doing that changed my world. This wasn't possible however until I had sinus surgery and polyps removed. Throw in a mouth piece at night, some Breatheright strips, and lower the caffeine intake and now I'm sleeping like I have never slept before.

However, I had to figure all this out for myself. It doesn't seem like there is any discussion on how to improve quality of sleep (or very minimal). Wishing I knew some of this information sooner in life.

I would guess that would not be very likely, but I'm not sure.

All you would have to prove is that you have a skill set that employers are not able to find in the US. I would guess that would be difficult at the intern level.

For example, if you were really good at Matlab there is always a need for that. (It is taught in universities but the demand is still high).
Imglorp didn't say that terrorism had no impact at all, only that it's not directly destabilizing American society. 3000 deaths is an awful thing, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the population of the US--4200 people died in American car accidents in 2015 alone, but no one thinks that poor car safety is destabilizing society.
There's a professor, Economics at Harvard IIRC, who points out some telling characteristics of cities in this regard. Those with large numbers of smaller firms are far more creative in the long run than those with small numbers of large ones. Specific contrast were NYC and its garment district vs. the large industrial cities of Pittsburgh (steel) and Detroit (autos). Ironically, it's the cities which most successfully employ division of labour and assembly-line techniques which are penalised most harshly.

Benjamin Chintz came up with the theory. Edward Glaeser is the lecturer.

It sucks that Parse got shuttered, but this has got to be one of the best handled service shutdowns I've seen in a while.
I'm not familiar with the project but it sounds to me more like they just relicensed it with a free as in freedom license. Not that it is just becoming open source.
I have to say, this whole open source turnaround from Parse is pretty awesome... I've used Parse in the past and this effort is making me consider using it again, just hosted on my own server. Thanks guys!
Because in China there can be serious consequences to holding and advocating for ideas that are out of favor with government. In the USA, even with all the monitoring you can still hold and advocate for ideas that are very much out of favor of those in government without serious reprisal. Note that "Terrorism" is a very convenient word in politics as it allows just about anyone to be labeled as such. I suspect my definition is very different than the Chinese definition.

To be fair about the data collection efforts in the USA, something that I very much oppose as an affront to the individual rights of its citizens, I suspect that those efforts are nonetheless almost always conducted very much for proper purposes of protecting national security and the lives/property of its citizens... rather than to ensure government entrenchment in spite of its citizens.

Where the NSA and like agencies go wrong is in assuming ends justify means. They don't. And of course the possibility of misuse of these methods to be used against citizen rights rather than to protect them.
Linode: The Backstory, the Tech, and the Impact
That's rather obvious. Due to Dunbar's number (the rough maximum number of human relationships you can maintain), reputation is a very scarce resource.

To the extent that corporations and brands are virtual individuals, I think this explains why so many Internet markets are winner take all. There is only one Facebook because Facebook occupies a "Dunbar slot" in the minds of its users and those slots are scarce.

Also means that more B2B or behind the scenes Internet companies may not be as winner-take-all as B2C Internet fronts and gateways. To an extent the 'portal' hype from the original dot.com boom was correct-- portals are super-valuable and tend to be winner-take-all or at least a few winners take most.

Would that mean every business would need to have a bond, or just in the case of litigation?
What if we'd just carried on with our lives after we'd mourned and buried our dead? How much impact would terrorism then had had on our lives?

Not to trivialize 9/11, but the death toll was only about 0.1% of all deaths that year. Sad, but ultimately only a blip in statistics.

The impact 9/11 has had is all due to what we did to ourselves, not what the terrorists did.
It was formerly under a miscellaneous collection of licenses that included many "non-commercial use only" licenses (common in the emulator world at the time, partly out of concern for drawing attention over commercial use, and partly because some contributors didn't want to see commercial MAME arcade cabinets).
Not paid, quite the opposite. From http://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/Is_MAME_Open_Source%3f (pasted here in case the page changes soon):

> MAME's License is a modified version of the standard BSD license. The primary modification is that we do not allow commercial distribution or use of MAME, in order to limit some of the obvious abuses of the code. Because of this modification, MAME's license does not fall under the definition of an Open Source (uppercase) license. This is one of the reasons you don't see the MAME source code hosted on sites such as SourceForge.

> Confusingly, MAME is often referred to as open source (lowercase), as its development shares much in common with other open source projects. However, in spite of its freely available source code, MAME may not be used in a commercial setting, as specified by its license.
Why are they mutually exclusive?
That it's a predictor makes it a measurement tool, not a teaching tool.
How does all of that relate to how much better it could be?

It's silly to take a fixed point in time and just declare "I think we are all pretty happy here", it's extraordinarily silly to do that as Marc Andreessen.
This is still a problem with the latest version! I am forced to use Lync every day and the copy & paste issues make it completely unusable. It is the worst-in-class IM client, worst-in-class screen sharing tool, and worst-in-class, well, everything.

Even basic stuff like keeping track of when you're actually in front of your computer or idle doesn't work properly in Lync. I'll be typing away for hours and it thinks I'm "Idle: 2 hours" to other people in my contact list.

Then there's the whole, "You can't add this person to your contacts because they have been added to too many other people's contact list" problem. W T F ? How is that even possible in this day and age? Sigh.
The impressive thing about Bitcoin is that it works well despite many attempts to break it. That's so rare in computing. The basic concept was well worked out.

Some of the people in the financial community just want a shared ledger between the big players that doesn't require a separate organization to run it. That's simpler than creating a shared trusted organization, like the Depository Trust Company. Those systems are consensus ledgers where known parties each have a vote. There's no proof of work, and it's not a currency system. That's unrelated to Bitcoin, but it's taken seriously because Bitcoin hasn't been broken.

The "current situation of Bitcoin" mostly seems to involve a dispute over block size. At the moment, some denial of service attack is creating large numbers of tiny transactions and causing a transaction backlog. Transactions which specify a higher fee get through OK, apparently.

The "core developers" think they have a voice in how Bitcoin works, but in fact, the three top mining pools in China have well over 50% of the mining power and decide what happens.

Too many Bitcoin exchanges are still run by crooks. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of "Big Vern", Cryptsy's CEO, should contact the Silver Law Firm, which is suing him.

And that's Bitcoin today.
Depends on the intern and the Visa. Someone coming from Canada who just needs a TN is an easy sell to most companies. Someone who is eligible for an OPT or F1, maybe, really just depends on how much money your C-level likes to throw around. Anything else, probably not worth it.

When the notification comes into Slack that the build broke, I can immediately type in the chat "I'm looking into that one" and everyone knows what I'm referring to and knows instantly that they don't need to waste time on it.

At my workplace, everyone is usually always active in chat working out problems and having discussions, so a notification is more likely to be seen by more people sooner in the chat than in an email.
Firefox and Chrome currently do not work on Wayland without Xwayland. But Libreoffice and Gnome work. You also have to use open source drivers for Wayland to work, so no Steam.

The satanism panic is not "now discredited"... rather the factual basis is, i.e., unreliable interrogations and statements, etc.

In the same way the Iraq War itself is not discredited, while the evidence presented at the time is.
What to Wear in London in February
Productivity is roughly customer payments divided by the costs of doing business. If prices drop, Uber and drivers can collect the same amount of payments with the same costs of doing business. Fewer drivers could be used, but that won't increase our productivity statistics.

In the plain English sense, productivity went way up! We're just measuring something else.
If you watch Community, there's a whole episode about this. Except instead of "whuffie", it's "meow meow beenz".

Couldn't find the solutions on those 2013 ones. My answers for the first two (the Gardner problems) are [4^3 + 3] and [13^2 - 100] (ASCII codes). If anyone else wants to do them, let me know if you get the same answer.
I think the point is that, comparatively, terrorism has very little impact in the US.

Of course the families of the 9/11 victims would disagree. If my family had been victims to a freak meteorite rain accident, I'd probably disagree with someone who claimed meteorite strikes are very low probability events and therefore should be low in the list of priorities.
I believe it was open source, but the licenses were not 'free' enough to be called free software.
Not everyone has that opportunity. Not everyone has rich friends or family. Some people have expenses they cannot control.

You don't know everyone's situation, why do you assume to?

Later on, sure, you'll have to raise more money. Immediately, even $1k can help you a lot depending on your situation...

Why not let the market take care of it?
Longest Lasting Cars That Make It Over 200,000 Miles
One step closer to our Psycho-Pass future.
But this has (or properly should have) shown up in productivity stats, and people raved about it from day one: UberBlack (then just "UberCab") made it fantastically cheaper -- in both dollars and effort -- to hire a black car on short notice. That cost savings is a productivity gain, achieved from better employment of a resource (the car and driver time) that had to be purchased anyway; an appropriate metric ("cost to hire black car on X minutes notice and Y minutes of invested labor by requester") would have captured it.

Ditto for UberX: it made greater use of a resource whose fixed costs had already been paid for other reasons, and allowed labor to be "kicked into gear" for very short shifts that labor-employers otherwise aren't able to make use of. That's also a productivity increase, and should rightly appear as such.
IDEs are either swaggering monoliths, where all complexity has been hidden away in a labyrinth of options- or a small basic set, that waits for you to be turned into such a custom tailored to your taste monstrosity.

Sad thing is, really new interesting features are rare. There is no deep learning IDE that watches you debug, and associates source code by changing variable X fixed bug in file Z via time of change correlation and instruction flow graph.

There is no real approach to layered responsibility. Meaning, a beginner should be allowed to change functions, but not add classes and interfaces to existing well structured code, without the author signing those "big" changes off.
This crucial "zoom out into algorithms and architecture" and drop back in to display details- still often happen via external tools, as the IDE is not able to abstract Information from the actual sourcecode away.

Finally - debugging and Unittests, these are actually highly automate-able task- yet here im stepping it, even though by now at least conditions can be attached to the various execution paths.

Finally, no ide has a "User" Simulation, to detect crappy requirement engineering before the whole thing is gone into software.
A proportioned team of simulated "persons" and "use-situations", that gets to traverse a draft of the gui and the workflow should detect hotspots and annoyances, and avoid a lot of unnecessary & expensive itteration.
That's a valid point, but they are trying to incentivize behavior to fix the issue OP asks about, so it's probably a good thing overall (it's not a hoodie for 5-star reviews only).

How-to become a douchbag in 10 steps:

1. Be the supervisor for a thesis that will become a open-sourced project

2. Use this open sourced project in one of the classes you teach at University

3. work together with and ask for help from the creator of the open-sourced project

4. see the value of the open-sourced project

5. fork it

6. claim it as yours

7. get rich by selling it

8. write super douchy email to a previous maintainer of the project you forked.

"Sorry JC but you had nothing to do.with this…. You can’t possibly try to get credit for.something you hadn’t been involved with"

9. Lie to media

".. In two days, Mellis banged out the code; three days more and the board was complete. .."

Good point, attacks on mining were probably what was being referred to here. Specifically because one of the counterarguments to the blocksize increase was that it promoted centralized mining, increasing the odds of a 51% attack.

I'll leave my other comment in this tree as food for thought, because Bitcoin has definitely driven research in cryptography. But it's the least likely attack vector.
First Microsoft destroyed Skype, now they want to destroy Slack? Hopefully not gonna happen.

We're in the process of moving away from Skype, which we used for 10 years in the company, to Slack. Partners went away from Skype to Flowdock and Hipchat.

Instead of buying Slack, Microsoft should invest to make Skype great again. Yet I'm not sure if this is still possible after they broke all features Skype excelled at.
Or use the money to found a new competitor.
But please don't buy Slack. This can only fail.
China and the US may be somewhat alike in this regard, but at least in the US people are allowed to talk about it and rally against it.
Is the credibility worth it? Does being able to tell investors that SR invested in this mean anything?
My guess is that the likelihood of you getting a fair and speedy trial is significantly better in the US than it is in China.
>There is no "the best". There are only people. Some people work wonderfully at one shop, but horribly at another.

Well, sure, but from the employer's perspective different people have differing amounts of potential productivity. You definitely want to at least limit your hiring to people who at least have the potential to be star performers.
In my experience, it happens if your computer's local time is not set up correctly.
Will vulkan be able to run games that were coded with DX12?

No. Youll still need windows 10 to run them. So im not sure how Vulkan makes you not need DX12. If youre developing games, sure. But as a gamer you have no way to make DX12 games run on vulkan.
This clears up a lot of mysteries (and some of the drama) surrounding Arduino and Wiring that had puzzled me in the past. A bit late in the game to read this but good to know.

Also: not an entirely unusual case. There is always a race for credit for a true success, and it is not always due to real malice (not saying this is the case here.) People have a hard time remembering what came before they were involved, and lack the incentive to find out.
That's a misuse of the word strawman.

Also "our shadow government with totalitarian tendencies is better than theirs" is kind of flimsy#.

The FBI frequently radicalizes and encourages vulnerable, alienated people to execute terrorist plots. Sure, they don't arrest people for 'pre-crimes', but they do manufacture terrorists so that they can 'catch' them.

The CIA, FBI, NSA, and a few other alphabet soup agencies have a regular history of mass violation of rights and egregious human rights abuses. Who has forgotten the Senate report about CIA torture already? The CIA was forcibly anally raping unjustly detained individuals as part of its interrogation program. People who paper over the atrocities regularly committed in the name of liberal democracy undermine democracy by refusing to distinguish it from a far inferior and quite obviously broken system. It seems like there's a short memory and long list of excuses for the abuses perpetrated by nations like the US.

# This is a strawman of your position.
Yes, and I'm an adult making decisions as an adult, not making decisions like a child would.

Otherwise my family would just burn through all our money and assets to pay for eating ice cream three meals a day. And we'd end up diabetic, broke, and probably soon dead once we exhausted our resources.

When you're dealing with difficult economic realities that include supporting your family and paying your mortgage, do you deal with them by thinking like a kid? What would be the point of that?

It's important to have the necessary empathy to make the disruption as minimal as possible, but also to have the maturity and forsight to make the decision to move out of whatever soon-to-be ghost town you're living in. Or so I would think.
This is also something that Rust encourages. The default `assert!()` macro remains in even in release builds, and you may use the `debug_assert!()` macro to have the assertion present only in debug builds.
It had published source code, but a restriction against commercial usage, making it neither free software nor open source, according to the definitions of such things.
