Thanks for your feedback. This is a MVP and I have lots of things in my roadmap that I would like to do. My main expertise is in design, so I've not yet been able to do all the things I've wanted.

I quickly checked your service. Looks interesting. Maybe we should collaborate and not compete with each other? :)

A lot of people took it as a game. You can grow, rumours of big rooms (100s even 1000s), how big can we grow to?

Few people were interested in chatting beyond trying to convince others to grow.

A Turing machine is not really a machine. A TM can simulate the abstraction of a machine, a machine can simulate a TM. You can put bread in your toaster, you can't put the bread in a Turing machine (unless it's a toaster-enhanced TM with a special bread input tape and a temperature oracle).
LAZINESS: The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful, and document what you wrote so you don't have to answer so many questions about it. Hence, the first great virtue of a programmer.

IMPATIENCE: The anger you feel when the computer is being lazy. This makes you write programs that don't just react to your needs, but actually anticipate them. Or at least pretend to. Hence, the second great virtue of a programmer.

HUBRIS: Excessive pride, the sort of thing Zeus zaps you for. Also the quality that makes you write (and maintain) programs that other people won't want to say bad things about. Hence, the third great virtue of a programmer.

Just to clarify on your moon example, the typical logic behind its capitalisation is that - e.g. - Jupiter has many moons (each with their own name), Earth has one moon; Earth's moon is called the Moon.

That said, the difference is absolutely inconsequential. English prepositions offer sufficient context to make this whole debate redundant in most cases anyway.

That sounds like a pretty nifty feature - can you point at any docs about how that works/how to set it up?

At university the lab systems had a networked home directory setup, and one of the greatest things was a '/yesterday/' link to your personal homedir, exactly as it was 1 day ago.

I have no idea how they set it up, but something along these lines is plausible.

Sorry, but can I just check, are you saying this is the alternative as in you SHOULD do this, or are you saying this is the alternative as in you SHOULD NOT do this?

It's just the way you wrote it sounds like you're saying this is the recommended way of developing, which I'm sure is not what you meant.

Also, is winmerge available in .deb/.rpm?

Ok, using SCM like git _allows_ you to change the way you are developing. You will still need to use the tool correctly.

Huge amounts of modern businesses aren't about "free and voluntary trade".

While I'm not saying we should, we could (for example) get rid of limited liability or the massively different tax arrangements for individuals and businesses (which usually greatly favour businesses over individuals). These are social constructs, and we could decide that they are no longer benefitting society.
I wonder if the same applies for icloud backups of your iPhone/iPad/MacBook. Does anyone know ?
I have about 3 years of iOS experience and I have a love hate relationship with storyboards.

I think the introduction of auto-layout has made it them more powerful , but also a bit confusing.

Apple really needs to work on the UX in interface builder. I should ideally be able to see most of the constraints at a single glance rather than clicking on each every view to find out how it relates to the views around it.

I can create UIs reasonably fast now , after mastering all the tricks and UI shortcuts.

However as your parent mentioned , it is a fact that Android developers are able to create UIs faster. I know this since our team works on the same features on both platforms.

It used to be that Android used to really suck , but for simple standard UIs , mocking up something is much faster now on Android. And their layout system while not as powerful as Autolayout is enough most of the time and easier to grok.

The only thing they still struggle with are animations and device / OS fragmentation.
Not really contradicting you here, but DFHack for the last couple of years has worked as a shim between DF and the SDL library. Substantially simplified the process of changing the game's behaviour, and mostly eliminated the need to poke around memory addresses. DFHack is also essentially the third party modding library for everyone else, with only Dwarf Therapist still poking around memory last I heard.

Kind of uninteresting for most players, but hey; this IS hacker news.
Every non-trivial program has an implicit FSM in it somewhere. Yes, the quality of the program is only as good as your analysis of the states and transitions between them, but it turns out that is true for all programs, regardless of whether or not you implement them as an explicit FSM. Explicitly specifying the FSM means you have a better target for analysis when you define missing/bad transitions.
I respect Jon Skeet very much and it's by his book that I learned C# when I needed. I do feel that we tend to treat people we admire as gods, this being detrimental to the learning process. Especially in a global market without boundaries, like the software industry, it's easy to compare oneself with the best of us and this ends up being quite depressing. We shouldn't forget that such people are humans as well, continuously learning, improving and prone to do mistakes like the rest of us.

>I think that the demonstrable environmental impact may be enough for some people to force themselves.

The problem is that this doesn't necessarily scales up, it's very nice for over-priced niche markets like high end restaurants but if you are going to feed the world using this type of agriculture it can be just as destructive as any other type of mass production on a scale that can feed nations not to mention the world.
I loved my SM125 monitor with those rare properly designed GEM applications that showed off the potential of the GUI.

A shame GDOS didn't ship with the original distribution of the OS and a shame that Atari wasn't better at getting developers to produce quality GEM applications.

It could have been a Mac killer.
I couldn't agree much. If you look outside of CS and mathematics, where FLOSS principles are widely represented, in most domains it is very hard to access the knowledge. Besides the experts protecting their expertise, there are some fields where they actively try to discourage any such dissemination of knowledge to protect the interest of the trade -medicine, where there is also a question of accountability- or to protect society as a whole -the knowledge to make weapons and explosives. Obviously, these are important arguments you have to deal with when trying to convince somebody that open knowledge is a benefit to society.
There's also quite a deal of effort that goes into making these resources available, so it's not just a problem of opening things.

Have a look at 'open source ecology', there are things existing, but this is still a long way from getting to the point where CS/math is.

You can also look at Earthships, a fairly utopian idea, and how far they are from embracing openness, despite their proclaimed philosophy.

1979 - Reigate Grammar School. The school didn't offer a comp. sci. exam but we had a computer club (although no computer). I remember using a card punch to write a factorial program. I can't remember the language. The cards were taken to an insurance company down the road who did actually have a computer. A couple of days later you'd get a print-out of the compilation errors, and you'd start again. The future seemed so exiting back then. On this basis, I went to Leeds University to study computing where on the first day, they introduced us (as a prank) ... to the card punch machine.

Interesting case. IIRC in some test, the students are supposed to remember the angles of the 3-4-5 triangle. I think it was a test form Peru, but I'm not sure.

Perhaps the students have to study that for the test, but it was not an actual question of the test.

As a mathematician, I consider thirty-something, ninety, fifty-something a good enough answer, but the exact numbers are not very useful. (If you pay me 1 thousand dollars I can try to use the Taylor expansion of arctn to get the exact number with a few decimal places, and for 1 million dollars I can try to remember them.)
The way to stop downward wage pressure is for people to control how many offspring they have. I hear a lot of utopian talk here about leisure economies and basic incomes, but how about some utopian talk about a world where no child is ever born into a family without a plan for that child's future?

That's what the article describes, but it's hard to validate an email address by sending to it too if you want time bounds. My mail server implements greylisting and its frequently difficult for me to verify my email address on services that send me tokens that expire. Greylisting typically delays by only 10 minutes or so but there are plenty of times that mail servers can be down for extended periods, or a quota/disc is full, or an intermediate mail router is down, or any number of other problems

I don't buy that. For stuff like key derivation, there are loads of ways you could vary the process without compromising security.

For example, a normal disc encryption system with the caveat that the password is XORed with a secret before the key derivation algorithm is used (where the secret is unique to the exact laptop model) would effectively stop all decryption in its tracks until you knew the exact laptop model, but would not compromise security at all.

I don't know about that but I can report that Skeet went to Cambridge University, which tends to produce a chunk of the UK's governing elite.

The unfortunate thing is that in the UK, as elsewhere, programmers and technical people are generally regarded as socially inept boffins who don't quite "get" the way society works. Recognition of this goes back to C.P. Snow's Two Cultures from the 50s.

So being hailed by the BBC as the world's greatest programmer is a mixed honour. It comes with an implicit dose of condescension.

It's possible to give the final say on task selection to the programmers while still allowing the manager to have useful input.

Nothing is perfect, but not aspiring to inspire for fear of being seen as something you're not will never help anyone.

Jon is awesome.
To be fair, the title is serious exaggeration. Tom Adams has a large task list of implementation ideas, and they're 42% complete. He then says that these represent the "narratively interesting" parts of existence.

If I made a game that had a day and night, sleep and awake, food, drink, sex and death, I could claim that it simulates 100% of the interesting parts of existence. To cast that as actually simulating existence would be silly, though.
