I think the problem is that drones are very accessible for the general public, which isn't fully aware of all of the rules that the previous generation of RC aircraft hobbyists is all to aware of (e.g. in order to get a permit to fly with their club in a certain area)
I'd say live reload beats refresh for dev workflows (when it works).
Badly organized code can also be the result of demanding deadlines coupled with an inexperienced tech lead to back up the engineer's estimates. Sometimes the whole culture of a place (engineers included) is in "just get this shit done" mode until they realize they essentially need to redo everything to fox minor bugs

Bitcoin is for the underserved. It will grow to be exactly as large as this market is regulated to be. Thus far this market is sex, drugs,gambling and capital flight. It will fly, because government subsidizes it's use here.

Exactly. Most people logically arrive at this conclusion when considering Bitcoin's merit as a currency.

And that's before they even learn about the deep security issues, how hard it is to protect, how most Bitcoin services cannot be trusted, etc.
I do this with chess. I take positions from tournament games in which I made a correctable mistake (generally not positions in which there was just a lot of calculation to be done and I wasn't up to the task) and add them as flashcards to my spaced repetition system.

It is true that software engineers often treat bugs as unfortunate but unavoidable noise in the system; when one pops up, you fix it and move on. But it's really worth thinking them as an inherent part of the process of software development, one which you can improve and learn from, just like anything else.
Planes are hit by drones all the time especially while landing and taking off. Of course they are called birds. Suck a few geese into your engines and you have to land in a river. I doubt a drone is as dangerous as a goose at 200 knots.
Yes, the order of elements in an array should always be preserved. For example, we might be expecting the first element to be a name, the second to be a date of birth, etc. We should use an object for that, but that's for reasons of readability, extensibility, etc. rather than array semantics being unsuitable.

Also, jq has a `--sort-keys` option which tries to make the output as reproducible/canonical as possible. From the manual:

> The keys are sorted "alphabetically", by unicode codepoint order. This is not an order that makes particular sense in any particular language, but you can count on it being the same for any two objects with the same set of keys, regardless of locale settings.

It would be strange for a JSON tool to go to such lengths to normalise data, if array order were unpredictable.
>Wow. You must love recursion. I like to discuss, but please make specific points. Like I did above.

I made points, a number of them, not sure what you're saying here? And how is it recursive? I am responding to you, that's how discussions work.

You were the one to talk about these kind of comments being disingenuous, I was both parodying that and wondering whether you are in fact being so yourself - it seems fashionable to 'go against the grain', I was openly wondering if that's what you were doing.

If you read the article he repeatedly interrupts the story to make comments about his products and how wonderful they are, in fact he talks as if they are the only means of doing mathematics in software available.

I cannot be bothered to pull down all the quotes and make this line-by-line because it's a waste of everybody's time, if you didn't find it jarring/interrupting then I envy you, and fine we can agree to disagree on subjective grounds. I do not at all find them subtle and in line with the article's text, so I disagree entirely with you on that.

I hate the 'he is entitled to' arguments - and? Yes he is entitled, he is entitled to write anything, what does it matter? I and others who read a really interesting piece about a historical figure interjected with what _we_ find to be jarring product placement are entitled to comment on it, and I am also entitled to disagree with you about how incredibly tiresome and 'disingenuous' these comments are.

I don't disagree the article wasn't good, in fact I've said about 3 times now I find it excellent apart from this aspect, so that whole bit about how wonderful it is is totally irrelevant...

To finish (because this discussion is becoming... tiresome), let me correct your straw-manning of me - I actually didn't come in to it with a known image of him as a self-aggrandising bullshitter. I read this with an open mind because I find Ramunjan fascinating, having heard about him 15 years ago when I was hoping I could pursue mathematics as a career (before events out of my control screwed that up.)

I put aside my 'prior image' of him for more than a minute, as I didn't maintain one to start with... be careful of these kind of assumptions, it's probably part of why you find these kind of comments so frustrating!

I didn't care it was Wolfram, but as I read the whole article, I found these things jarring and just sad, since the piece is otherwise excellent and well written. Ah well.
Reddit's big business plan
True, in that sense it's less centralized.

But each of those payment provider you pick holds your assets and can restrict your transactions any time. With Bitcoin that is not possible.
> So, I am going to say NO to this article. Skills are important.

In your anecdote though, I'm reading that the er, rockstar developer had enough skills to get things done, but not the personality to do things The Right Way. That is a personality thing, I think, with personality traits like attention to detail and quality and such. Those are not linked to skill level or technology; maybe with experience (i.e. being on the receiving end of those bugs and issues), but even that is not necessary IMO, because there's plenty of smart people out there to tell people to do, for example, unit testing, and why.

The wrong personality scoffs at that stuff and goes cowboy coding like the person in your anecdote.

You need to be willing to walk away from the partnership if necessary. Not that it's something you want to do, but you can't let fear of it control your actions.

Or conversely, if you decide you can't do that because you don't have a viable business without it, then you need to acknowledge that you aren't building something that has a chance of being an independent company, you're going for a pure acquihire play.

And if the latter is the case, you need to re-evaluate. Acquihire can be a fine plan B, but if it's plan A, is this still the best thing you could be doing with your time? Maybe it is, but maybe it's not; it's a question you have to ask yourselves.

If you're ready to throw a bit of money at it (and you're playing on Windows) I'd recommend having a look at Innerspace from Lavishsoftware.

I used that to bot on WOW back in the day, this tool was fabulous and can be adapted to probably any game. Knowledge of C++ is required to create an extension, after that you can code your bot in C# or Lavishcript (their own script language, quite powerful).
I don't develop more than 30% of my time but I love it none-the-less. I'm 62 years old.

I find software architecting, developing, and operational troubleshooting to be fun, requires a holistic view of a problem set, requires creative problem solving and more.

I find development an outlet to create (make) stuff. I work at a university on the east coast of the USA and am on a high performing team that has not lost a member for at least 5 years. We love each others talents and respect each other's abilities.

I expect to work full time till I am at least 67 and hope to be able to work part time till I am ~70.

Edit: 62 years old not 63

Well that's a bit short-sighted then.

Plenty of people care about a lot more than that in a currency, namely that is it responsibly and equitably managed. Bitcoin is not this, of course, but it's a giant step in the right direction compared to the Federal Reserve.
Reducing DRAM Latency at Low Cost by Exploiting Heterogeneity

On the other hand, the competition makes their achievement even more valuable because they were in a race and got there first.

That's basically it. We've reduced everyone down to race and gender because diversity. This is the reason for criticizing "culture fit".
Okay. Some points taken :-) ... I too realize, there is nothing much to argue here, just differ on that article.
Well, I wouldn't put much emphasis on "democratically elected government".

Between gerrymandering, faulty or "faulty" voting machines, modern campaign practices that require millions of dollars to run and stick your "branding" to the minds of voters,
and even more important, a system that pretty much guarantees no-one can rise to validly compete grass-roots unless they belong to the two parties -- it's nothing to write home about.

That a 200+ year old document is held as some kind of "holy scripture" of governance and that centuries old dead statesmen are seen in a romantic light as "founding fathers" and guiding spirits (paternalism much?), is even less indicating of a rational modern democracy.
Mirage?
100% this. Some people simply do not like London - they stand atop the tube station at Oxford Circus and look at the succession and repetition of massed humanity (to quote Waugh) and think, "How unpleasant." Even if you're making a six figure salary, if you find that many people - and everything else that goes hand-in-hand with that - unpleasant, it will grind you down; that salary won't cheer you up every time you're having a horrible, hot, sweaty commute, or you're staring in misery at your lack of garden, or wishing that the other tenants in your building would stop stealing your copy of The Economist.

I personally like London very much, but eight years of it (and now just a day every two or three weeks) was plenty for me.

Its not just the salaries, its the opportunities.

There are just so many tech jobs available in London. And once you have a job, you have much more flexibility to change jobs without having to move home. This might not be a consideration when you are younger and more flexible in terms of location, but I do know some people who have settled in other parts of the UK who now have families and feel stuck with their current employer due to lack of other opportunities in their area.

And it isn't just the jobs, but also the developer communities. If you live in Shoreditch, for example, you could go to a tech meetup (many with free beer and pizza) within walking distance of home pretty much every night of the week if you really wanted to.

I looked at relocating from London back to Scotland many years ago, and was perfectly reconciled to halving my salary given cost of living and quality of life considerations, but it was simply the relative lack of opportunities that was the main issue in my case.
I had the same experience; signed up to the mailing list because the articles looked like there was real depth (at last!) really digging deep in the aspects of design. I was also excited by the fact that he appeared to be arguing from a non-modernist design perspective, and as an ardent believer in modernist design, I was excited to have my beliefs challenged.

Unfortunately I found there wasn't much there. Whilst some (most?) of the articles seem to dig into some depth, it's all over shadowed by a negativity that has nothing to back it up, just empty criticism. It's telling that I can't even determining if he's arguing from a pre or post-modernist perspective, or even from a different perspective completely.

I found it all a bit disappointing really. I think he has a point to be made in there somewhere, he certainly begins his arguments from a position that seems tenable, but for the life of me I couldn't prune it from all the dead-wood of negativity.

I really hope the author does dig in and argue a point, because like I said, it certainly feels like he's arguing from a position.

I just hope that after all that, his point isn't "design is art" because he can GTFO :)
Management trusted the developer knew what he was doing, and didn't micromanage. I would go as far as say that management should be setting requirements in terms of security, maintainability, documentation etc, but I guess in this case (because apparently it was just one dev), they gave the developer full freedom. Misplaced trust, in this case. In a lot of cases though, I'd rather management ask me what should be done, instead of them telling me (or telling me something I'd disagree with).

If you can't figure out on your own that flying drones near an airport is not a good idea then you probably shouldn't be allowed in public at all.
So you get an electric model of the same car.
It costs about double.
Even if fuel prices double/triple, you can easy fill up at least for 10 years off the difference.
Now, ask yourself how often do you replace your car. :)
If you want to move, but don't fancy London, come to Bristol. There's a great (and growing) tech scene here, and a wonderful developer community (tech related meetup events virtually every evening, and people know and are friendly to each other).

Of course if you're happy where you are, then stay there. Tis just another option you may not have considered.

Ok, so? Bitcoin is an accepted payment method. Why should you care how exactly they handle processing of it? The only measure of success here is how much people do or do not use it. Are you honestly trying to argue against their acceptance by nitpicking the details of the backend implementation? 99.9% of people don't care.
You may have come up with what you think is a great new idea and several variations that are also useful. You claim the broadest one as an independent claim. And the refinements are dependent claims. The patent office may agree, and issues all claims.

If, later it turns out the big idea was not new, but the refinements are, then you may find yourself with an invalid independent claim but valid dependent claims (which are treated as though they stand on their own). Although you could have filed the dependent claim as independent just the same, it saves paper and cognitive time analyzing it, which is a good thing. And for that reason patent fees are more expensive if you add more independent claims rather than dependent.

> There are plenty of successful middle-age actresses.

Mel Gibson took time off? Or he can't find good projects anymore?

Middle age actresses that aren't getting the parts they used to, fairly or not: Elizabeth Shue, Elizabeth Hurley, Catherine Zeta Jones, Nicole Kidman. It's plausible that many just left the business, but they all still act, just in much smaller projects.

There's some of that on the actor side as well. Michael Keaton has had a hard time of it for the most part. I just picked actresses because it's more apparent to me non-acting qualities carry more weight when it comes to actresses.

I wish more people understood this concept. I'd even go as far to say it has nothing to do with "somebody smarter than me." Certainly there are people out there not as smart as I who make more and have nicer things. But don't dwell on such comparisons. If you are happy with what you have, that is what matters.
By the same logic; I am a UK citizen, so it "probably" doesn't matter.

I saw the link to 1729 and the rest of the links to the Mathematica wormhole and noted (but resisted) the opportunity to go exploring. As it was it they were largely inline. That's some pretty subtle calls-to-action, marketing folks can't be happy with that. Whither the shaded buttons? Whither the popovers?

Wolfram's efforts to relate how Ramanujan's maths differ from the mainstream were certainly worth the price of admission. He spent a lot more time fleshing out several of the other historical figures than his own background; possibly he could have mentioned more people who are currently working in this exploratory mathematics, perhaps that's another post. Maybe we can take this for what it is, and precisely what one has come to expect from Wolfram – nerdy native advertising, in the form of a well-researched long-form essay by a dude with subject-matter expertise. If he starts skipping the inline links we'll know that he's secretly divested shares.

OMG I remember interviewing for a company asking all the right questions and talking about nice tech stacks and whatnot. People were nice too. Then I got an offer and I accepted it. First day in the job I figure that their main tech/language was TCL (of course they never mentioned it in the interviews). Stayed 2 weeks and went off running. The possibility of being stuck with some backwater tech killing off your future prospects is yet another of the freaking traps in this job.
So this guy was working by himself, with no help, no review, and no one to discuss the implications of anything with. Sounds like a hero for managing it as long as he did.
