This is largely a problem because of the pitiful savings rate in the US. If you've been saving 0% of your pay, being laid off at 50 is a disaster. If you've been saving 30-50%, this is likely to be a non-issue. Highly paid people in this country spend way too much of the money they earn.

No it's not. That's exactly the same use-case those slow dynamic languages have now. This kind of efficiency is a big deal, in languages designed by people with the same mindset.

Getting errors is the same if at compile-time or in the test-suite or at the customer, though having them at compile-time is of course preferred. In LISP you have all 3 cases. In static languages only the first.

These guys here solve their type-checking performance problem by deferring the check to dynamic code. Checks are expensive if your type checking code is slow, or the source code is a dynamic mess. We are talking about ruby on rails here, which is the biggest dynamic mess one can think of. It's the similar problem the JIT guys have, deferring compilation to only actually invoked code and skipping dead branches.

Its because bad news is good news in the twisted upside down world of speculating on the Fed's interest rate policy direction via the stock market. Expectations of rate hikes go further into the future with every bad economic indicator released and there are many(retail sales, auto, housing, industrial production, rail traffic, oil and gas, capex) . Will continue to wait for the day the market finally figures out that interest rate policy frameworks are broken, the Fed has no more ammunition, and the stock market jumps out the window rather than using the stairs. At that point, I'm buying lads.

I do data analysis of ATLAS data, and it's everywhere. Everyone knows that root kind of sucks, and some people have moved to matplotlib do to at least the plotting for them, however that brings a slide of other problems for you, for example the plot guidelines for ATLAS publications is formulated in root terms, so other kinds of plots sometimes not get approved.
On the other hand there is literally millions of lines of code in the analysis framework that heavily based on root, so there is no real way to switch it out.

I've been in computing long enough to know that the first thing anyone does with 2 computers is to connect them together. The notion that nobody would have thought of it without Arpanet is absurd. People invented networking protocols ALL THE TIME before the internet. FidoNET, BIX, Prodigy, MCImail, AOL, RBBS, CompuServe, Kermit, The $25 Network, etc. Even I designed a scheme (I never got around to implementing it), even calling it "web" (!).

Recently I've seen a lot of anti-Slack articles.

Not once have I heard a colleague criticising Slack. Every startup I know is using it and praising it.

When I work with some people who still use email to coordinate in situations where I usually use Slack, I find it to be maddeningly time-wasting. Email is terrible for group conversation.

It strikes me that there must be some more general for the Slack criticism. Perhaps the hype cycle effect? Or the inevitable fact that at least some companies will use a tool ineffectively, given enough adoption?

To anyone who hasn't already used Slack - I'd recommend a trial, especially if your organisation has a culture of group discussion via email. I've found it to be an excellent tool, particularly when coordinating remotely.

It follows well enough. The first part "glad this person isn't leading me" is a statement of personal preference based on the facts revealed in the article, and the second portion "they clearly don't care about their employees" is a justified thing to say of someone who puts people on the clock without a way to pay for them. Had it not worked out in the end, and were we instead reading about how Gobble employees did not receive their final month's pay after the company went under, you would not be able to mod away the justified incriminations that would be up and down the thread for it on this board, but good fortune in this case still does not justify it (and we wouldn't be criticizing Ooshma's failure to secure funding).

>> I think it's simpler to pass state as an argument to your functions instead. That's less complex and easier to test.

James,

I was wondering what is the best course of action ini one particular situation. I am using your excellent libraries to create an HTTP API that needs to have state. I usually have an init function and using the ring init feature (see below). How would you not have an atom that hold lets say the DB connection info for a function that renders a html page displaying the version of the database, accessing the dbinfo with @dbinfo (that was updated at the init). Would it be possible to pass in to this function the state? Is it any different if I am calling @dbinfo in the actual function that renders the page or the calling function (router, or app definition)?

That sure seemed to be my experience with all the little CVS stores I used in the D.C. area in the '90s, but it's not what I see with Wal-Mart in the last decade in the heartland. Of course, Wal-Mart goes for fewer, much bigger stores, and benefits from higher volumes than a small CVS which is often only staffed with one overworked pharmacist (I was always extra careful to check for dispensing errors when using them).

As for "race to the bottom", well, it sure looks tough. For example, Target offered upscale pharmacy service, but has given up on doing it themselves in favor of farming that out to CVS.

high volume drives price efficiency, as does eliminating the need for a retail storefront with lights and chairs and Muzak and the like.

And putting yourself in the likely presence of infectious people or the air they just exhaled is another reason to avoid the retail pharmacy experience if you can.

> women in the US tech industry pay a tax of between $100,000 and $300,000

First, that doesn't sound even remotely plausible. That's a "tax" greater than what most heterosexual white men make. Claiming discrimination based on being transgender is also weird since you don't have to tell anyone that.

But my biggest problem with the article is that it appeals to some magic algorithm, but doesn't tell you much about it. Certainly not well enough to evaluate potential problems with it, which is especially important because the article makes it sound like she was out to reach a certain conclusion and then, surprise, she did. I like data science. Give me the source code, I'm not going to just take your word on it that your methods were theoretically sound and free from arbitrary manipulation.

There's a lot of hype and currently little real success for electric cars. But with this hype, I guess real success is just a matter of time.

The problem with probably all traditional carmakers is that pivoting to electric simply does not work well at that scale and you need to simultaneously develop experience with electric cars while maintaining your gasoline cash cow. Toyota used hybrid for this, BMW tried niche cars. None went all in.

Uber: a clever hack. That people loved. Using new tech.

Airbnb: a clever hack. That people loved. Using new tech.

Sprig, munchery, doordash, postmates, spoonrocket etc don't feel like a clever hack. Just a business.

Both hacks were tricks to get around regulation put in place long ago to protect various financial interests. Once the people have spoken about what they love, it all topples down.

What other regulation / situation seems "dumb" at the moment (but is being held in place by $/power protecting it) ?

Data download limits, speeds, etc, i.e. consumer fixed and mobile internet seems like a big one.

The other huge one is the SF housing supply market. Heavily restricted because of various interests protecting value. Once a group figures a clever hack around not being able to supply more units of housing, and people LOVE it, and tech scales it, it all topples down.
Since interactive rebase was mentioned I'd recommend taking a look at its --autosquash flag and the --fixup flag of commit. With autosquash the interactive rebase will move fixup commits to where they belong:

Indeed. coala is more of a framework that allows you to plug in any analysis routine. However, it also provides means to create new code analysis very easily and combine arbitrary routines.

So yes, there are some very simple generic algorithms (line length checking, spacing corrections, we have things like variable name checking in the works which only need a few lines "language definition") and you can combine them with - possibly wrapped or not - language dependent algorithms easily.

This is useful for the user because he doesn't have to learn and configure tons of tools and he has some basic functionality for every language - even the ones he writes tomorrow.

It's also useful for people writing static code analysis because they can just write their algorithm and be done with it - why should everybody rewrite a CLI interface, editor plugins and so on?

I wrote a thesis about code clone detection (another algorithm that is basically generic and would need only a relatively small parsing part per language, coala allows me to modularize meanfully into parsing and language independent AST processing) and it just took me a few functions that actually performed the analysis. People can now use it easily which usually isn't true for research programs and I had even less work than I would have if I had written it without coala.
Using the big number of overweight people as a sign that healthy food is available cheap is an amazing feat of backwards logic IMO. A significant cause of overweight is that your diet is too imbalanced and your body is missing certain important nutrients while getting too much of others. That is the exact opposite of healthy food. And in fact, the "cheap food" most people consume is exactly that - fast food and high-calorie snacks. That sounds a lot more like the concrete-bunker-and-ramen theory again...

I recently disabled threading in my email as I have an unfortunate number of people who regularly : send mail using identical subject lines, reply to whatever my previous email to them was rather than come up with a new subject line or send multiple versions of important documents under the same subject/RE the same message over the course of months. This results in a hideous nightmare of thread spaghetti where I can't find stuff, or worse, I'm looking at the wrong iteration of something. Oh, and did I mention all the people who have MIME attachment email footers so that figuring out which email contains the document they sent means looking through every single mail? [0]

So I flattened it back down to chronological order and it feels like that restored a lot of sanity.

[0] Obviously a lot of this chaos can be tamed with a more aggressive process for inbox management, but that kind of plays into my point, that's all out of process manual work that a better communication tool should help me with.

Haha. That's funny. Would the thought going through daytime renewables without batteries coincide with the idea to transition to natural gas or other power plants at night?

I think that can be extended to more than humans, maybe everything.

And hey, don't knock eureka moments, especially not your own! When I was 20 and late for work in the morning, I walked by a lawn with a bird on it who was looking for worms, and looked straight at me. I didn't think about it at all, but nodded and said good morning. Then I had to laugh at myself, then I thought about it, and I never quite saw animals the same way. Suddenly it seemed so obvious, of course they're persons. Not ones who speak my language or care about my salutations, but still. I feel similarly about plants, central nervous system or not. I mean, it's not like I could tell you what I mean with "person" to begin with, where the cutoff point is, but something changed and it felt and feels right.

But compassion for animals and plants is easy, compassion for humans is trickier... and compassion* for oneself, that's the trickiest part, and as you said, the most often overlooked. It's like we understand just fine that we shouldn't dehumanize others, shouldn't hold grudges, not disappoint people or break promises, and so on, but simply affording ourselves that same respect and basic goodwill often eludes us, which we then compensate with all sorts of things which are far from both compassion and real confidence.

* which is a great way to put it.. self-love just doesn't have the same ring of understanding, patience etc. to it; like "loving Justing Bieber" and "having compassion for Justin Bieber" are two completely unrelated things.
Basic calculus doesn't seem that hard though. You understand asymptotes, right? When something gets closer to a certain value, but doesn't quite touch it, like 1/x with 0. That leads quite naturally to limits, where you say "ok, at a close enough value, we'll just ignore that little bit and say it touches".

Then come derivatives. So you have a function graph, and you're trying to determine the slope at a certain point. It's really simple for say y = x, where you just take any two points, but what if the graph is curvy? You'd take the point and then a point close to it, and calculate the slope for that. If the function is fairly smooth, that's fairly close to the actual slope. So you push the other point closer to the original point, and the slope you calculate gets closer to the real slope. You edge closer and closer, and suddenly it sounds a lot like a limit, where your initial point is x, your second point x + h, and h becomes smaller and smaller, so h -> 0.

Here's what's cool though. Since you didn't use 5, or 7.23, but x, you can put any point into this, so you've got a function that maps x onto the slope at x of the original function (at least if I remember correctly). You play around with a couple of different kinds of functions and arrive at various rules for differentiating things without having to do the whole limit thing, like x^2 -> 2x, x^3 -> 3x^2, e^x -> e^x, etc.

And derivatives are really handy. Say in kinematics, velocity is the derivative over time of position, acceleration is the derivative over time of velocity, and suddenly a whole bunch of things make a lot of sense.

Integrals are pretty neat too. So you want to estimate the area under a function from point a to point b. so you draw a box, and there's an area you're missing, or an area you're including but shouldn't, but it's close to the actual area underneath the function. So you think...hrm, I could use two boxes of half the width, that'd be closer to what I want to find. Then three, ten, a hundred, with the sum of the area of boxes getting closer to the actual area. Said more mathy, it'd be a to b, with a width of b-a, and each box gets a width b-a/h, and h gets infinitely large. Then we make that little limit jump again, and get a function. We do that for a couple of functions, deduce some rules, so we don't need to go through the entire process whilst integrating simple functions. a -> x + C, x -> 1/2x^2 + C for example.

With some understanding of the FTC (fundamental theorem of calculus), which roughly states that derivatives and integrals are inverse operations of each other (isn't that neat?), it again helps us make sense of things. For example, look at the equations in physics for constant accelerations: v = v_i + at, x = x_i + vt + 1/2at^2. See how v is the integral of a, and x is the integral of v? For the first one, "v_i" is the constant factor C, and "at" is what comes from the factor a. For the second one, "x_i" is the constant factor C, "vt" is "v_i" integrated, and "1/2at^2" is the integral of "at".

Calculus is super neat.

Doesn't this assume non-fixed rate loans, though? If you take out a $100M loan at 0.25% fixed then any movements by the Fed won't really affect you until you need to take out another loan. I've been under the impression from articles like [1] that the loans being used to fund stock repurchases are somewhat fixed rate.
