Yeah I understand Feynman's point it is just if you watch the whole series of questions he has no problem answering other questions.

A perfectly acceptable answer from Feynman would have been to just explain magnetic force in a basic (high school) level.

He could have made his argument about any of the questions the interviewer asked as pretty much every scientific question will get down to fundamental physics which will be beyond most people.
Wasn't Windows 7 supposed to be built on a revolutionary new filesystem based on a rdbms? I was pretty excited about that because it would have natively enabled a lot of the features listed here. Unfortunately it was one of the features they cut when Win7 went over budget and over deadline, and they never brought it back for subsequent releases.
Surprised people are still using CUDA, is OpenCL still not as good? Or is the vendor lockin not a problem?
IDEs can typically query a strongly-typed language for useful information without actually running the code. As long as the DSL uses static types, the IDE can just ask the compiler / type-checker to tell it what's going on and what portions of the source contribute to that meaning.

This is where the fuzziness of the phrase "strongly typed" becomes a bit of a problem, but the fundamental idea is that there are two levels of meaning in the program, one static, and one dynamic, and the static level produces useful info. There are lots of levels this can take. The most common is in an IDE for a language like C or Python; it compiles or style-checks the file, warning you about issues, but it doesn't have any sense of what the program means. Another very common one is where you have non-code configuration files for GUI layout. You usually don't need a Turing-complete language to describe your GUI, so putting it in some other format like XML means the IDE can render the GUI and let you make changes to it without having to actually run your code. Strong typing for DSLs is just another example of the same sort of thing. If you're able to e.g. describe your models to the ORM entirely statically, it can figure out what a ton of your code means without running any of it.

I think this is basically what you mean by metaprogramming, except with the constraint that one of the two languages is pure and Turing-incomplete and doesn't rely on external input. Then the IDE can safely run that language.

1. Housing laws (restricting housing supply to increase [SF])

2. Interest rates (when they are low) promotes more ownership

3. Federal/ State intervention : Promoting more people to own homes even if they can't afford to (or their job is high risk).

4. Low unemployment

5. Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac artificially propping housing prices by not releasing the million + mortgages they have on their books.

6. Terrible software that depends on humans being able to understand what prices should be for a home, while using antiquated ideas as to what a home price should be given "comps" and not supply of housing.

7. There are so many factors that if you're truly interested... Read a book called Housing Boom & Bust by Thomas Sowell. :)
I personally do not mind the "Deck" ad network.
To me that is ads done right.

I learned about the deck from daringfireball.
Hmm that's a fair point even if it's in a different context since ideally each symbol would retain its own meaning. I'm not sure what a better icon would be then that would be intuitive unless one was decided upon and widely used.
I appreciate when they bring me a problem with a suggested solution. It's often quite helpful in determining the best possible solution, and so far as I remember, they quite often got that solution implemented.

But before I started asking that, and just implemented their solutions, I got a lot of kickback for it not actually solving their problem, which is how I learned to ask it in the first place.

If Aunt Jamima's is unhealthy due to its sugar content, actual maple syrup is going to be unhealthy too. The authentic stuff might taste better, but it's still basically just sugar.

I happen to have a glass bottle of pure Canadian maple syrup in my fridge. It contains 53g of sugar per 60mL. That's apparently 18% of your recommended daily intake of sugar. It contains 4% of your daily intake of Calcium and is 'not a significant source of other nutrients'.

Though, to your point, I do have a second bottle of pure maple syrup that is labelled emphasising it's nutritional value. It has a bit of calcium, iron and manganese, but there's way too much sugar that goes with it for it to be a significant part of a healthy diet.

Ruby's got a lot of software that's been produced over the years, and one of the risks here is that people burn out on projects and move on. A slow accumulation of dangerous deadwood occurs over time and unless people work to clear the brush it can be catastrophic when problems strike.

Consider: ImageMagick and OpenSSL.

Newer platforms haven't had this problem because they've already broken all their old software (Rust) or because they're still changing rapidly enough that new software is still emerging (Swift).

It's not the community's fault. It's that it gets harder and harder to keep things clean the longer your language has been around.

The South Korean giant was founded in 1969, in Suwon in South Korea. In early days it used to make electrical appliances including television calculators, refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines. It has expanded it business by making lithium ion batteries, semiconductors, chips, flash memory and hard drive devices. Companies like Apple ,Sony, HTC are in its client list. It ruled the Indian market few years, till it is faced tough competition from the Chinese Maker and home brewed Micromax. Now to regain the top spot once again, it is ready with some exciting products with some exciting features, and most important with affordable price which will definitely woo the middle class people.

Show HN: Redis-GIS – Geospatial and Geofencing Commands for Redis
Most static servers enable If-Modified-Since header, as well as other detections... Cache sizes, specifically on mobile are very small, and ineffective... it's more often than not, a very small http request to recheck if a cached file is still valid.

Optimizing images is a pretty huge thing, as is enabling gz compression on the streams... these two alone add up to far more saving than setting cache headers, not that they can't or shouldn't be set.
As gshulegaard has mentioned, I think you're taking the name Zero-Bug to mean something different than what I intended.

Zero-Bug does not mean writing software without defects - that's impossible, instead it means correctly classifying bugs and then striving to keep the bug-count at 0.

I've written another article on the three types of bugs, and one of those is the "unknown ones" you refer to. There are things you can do to tease out some unknowns, but of course there's no cure for bugs as a whole. It's here if you're interested: https://goo.gl/TlvNcY

On the clickbait, I assure you it's not. I labelled the approach Zero-Bug long before writing the article. It creates an attitude in a team. After I've worked with teams to clarify what Zero-Bug really means, they strived towards doing more checks before even pushing out code. We celebrated Zero-Bug days when we were actually down to 0 and believe it or not, I've seen up to 2 iterations at a go be free of bugs. Coincidence? I don't think so.
The US has behaved very differently than past empires, but still has been imperialistic.

Ostensibly, we aren't an "empire" because we don't do things like establish governors over different places we conquer (and we, again ostensibly, don't conquer anyone).

Instead we accomplish the same through the shadows. Encouraging certain dictatorships and coups, discouraging others. Wrecking nations through economic means when they step out of line (or attempt to). This is, in my opinion, much worse than the empires of old. We never control these things we create, which inevitably creates even greater hardship for the people dominated by the dictatorships and economic woes we inspired. And we publicly proclaim a desire for peace and democracy!

If we were a proper empire, expanding our domain, we would have ended up bringing new states into our union. The people that we subjugated gaining the right to vote at some point in the future via statehood (initially coming in as territories or protectorates). But we don't want that. We won't the control and influence without the accountability of their votes. This forces people to vote against us via other means. Often violent. We then condemn their actions, which we inspired, and put down these actors, or attempt to, and claim a victory for peace and democracy.
For the simple case with a single iterator, yes the C-style for loop isn't as concise. However, there are lots of real-world situations where there is not a single iterator (e.g. looping through 2 arrays). Having to go back to 'while(boolean) { }' loops with initializers outside of the loop and incrementors at strange places inside the loop is much more confusing and error prone.
Dealing with Sales Objections? Use This Simple Framework
> In a 2013 review of published research, scientists affiliated with France’s national scientific institute wrote that sugar and sweets “can not only substitute [for] addictive drugs, like cocaine, but can even be more rewarding and attractive.” Although sugar is “clearly not as behaviorally and psychologically toxic,” cravings for it can be just as intense, they said.

So... how do we measure behavioral and psychological toxicity? What does that actually mean?

Feels like they're trying to escape cognitive dissonance with weasel words here.
That's a pretty shitty attitude to have.

What framework is sufficiently irrelevant that Pragmatic Press or O'Reilly can't be bothered to write a book about it?

Hirst is a flack. He's paid to promote an idea.

If Hirst says communism is bad, it's because he's being paid to say so.
Wouldn't you rather be told upfront what a tool's flaws are before you invest years of effort into them? Even if you decide to embrace a tool despite flaws, isn't it best to recognize / minimize them?

For example, C is a great tool. But heaven help someone if they ignore its' sharp edges.

There is no silver bullet. So the best you can do is find something that suits you, and the task(s) you are trying to accomplish.
The other problems I was alluding to weren't really with FUSE, but one that does pertain to FUSE is speed, since FUSE imposes overhead through a daemon running in user space, and associated context level switches because of that. From just looking into is again, this may have been mitigated to some larger or smaller degree with some FUSE performance enhancements in 2012.

Specifically, I was referring to the different off the shelf database systems which could be used. Each will have it's own benefits and drawbacks to storing large chunks of data per-record. Benefits might include (relatively) easy sharding or replication. Drawbacks might include not being space efficient for removed files, not being as resilient to corruption due to crashes or corruption affecting more than the files in use, or overly aggressive use of memory to function efficiently.

If a custom database was developed, you could tailor to your exact needs, but then you have much more work to do, and a period of immaturity.

Off the top of my head, if I were designing a general purpose system for tagging files where people were expected to use it as a regular file system and some overhead from FUSE was acceptable, I think I would leverage the file system but in a different way. I would set up a specialized directory for the files themselves, and store then hashed within it, and have a BerkelyDB database relate filename to hash and tags, and use FUSE to do direct file access. But that's my 5 minute assessment, so I reserve the right to change it completely given someone pointing out the obvious problems. :)
You seem to be measuring "did better" by a yardstick of "was not integrated into an international trade regime where it specialized on comparative advantage, but instead tried to do everything itself."

While there may be some merit to that as a positive indicator, all other things being equal, I think that you have to look more broadly.

(Which is not to say that US-allied countries universally did better than Communist Block countries that were comparable prior to the Cold War; neoliberal trade certainly has a strong core/periphery effect; I think US-aligned countries in the core -- e.g., Europe particularly -- did better than comparable Communist Bloc countries, and the results are considerably more mixed otherwise.)

Well, the situations with coffeescript exceptions and exceptions-from-the-depths-of-hell are avoidable (hint: don't use coffeescript)... indeed Rails makes it easy but just because crazy amounts of gems are on offer doesn't mean one has to use them.

Allowing known-risky formats that keep failing over and over is negligent.

But if you look at this from the opposite direction, you're essentially arguing that we should only use technologies that are known, or at least reasonably expected, to be extremely safe.

Given that in general humanity hasn't yet figured out how to create such technologies, and that numerous formats we use every day on the web to great overall benefit would not qualify, that seems a tall order.
The last time I really dove into this was a couple years ago. At that point Cuda had more features which allowed for more complex data structures, leading to smarter algorithms, and an all around less painful time programming.

Opencl has come along nicely in the meantime but I suspect Cuda has maintained it's lead and now has momentum with many developers.

Thre is a law in the US where employers must pay foreign workers with H1B Visas at least the average salary in that field. The law is already there to protect US workers. I read the title of that news story and immediately thought this was an "sensational" article targeted towards people who know nothing about how H1B Visa program works.

Now if the autoher of the article you posted was training foreign workers not in the US, that would be a different thing. But the article specifies that the person was in the US. Article has some serious bias against foreign workers even though the facts say otherwise.

No, it just has slightly weaker right-wing bias than Fox.
The offerings of humongous multinational conglomerations are not coherent. You could generate stories of this type all day, because the offerings of the likes of Nestle, GE, J&J, P&G, Coca-Cola, et. al. are the results of the efforts of hundreds of thousands of employees (for each conglomerate) subdivided into thousands of business units [read sub-companies], each with its own goals, challenges, and many existing within markets that are essentially disjoint from those of other business units under the same parent company.

This sort of story is pure narrative fallacy, because there is no person at Nestle that decided to exacerbate diabetes and then sell diabetes drugs to profit on the other end. Outside of that person existing, there's no story here. If you take away the conflation of a conglomeration with an entity of coherent offerings the premise crumbles.
Quoth the former curator: “Every once in awhile a Red State or conservative news source would have a story. But we would have to go and find the same story from a more neutral outlet that wasn’t as biased.”

Well, there you go. Quite frankly there's a neutral editorial voice that FB wants to project. And so the main article has to be from a legitimate unbiased news source. Brietbart, Newsmax, and the like simply aren't.

Having a list of approved sources to highlight is really common I these types of products, because no one wants Stormfront to be on the front page.

I completely agree with you. But when it comes to developing web apps rapidly, Rails is about as close a silver bullet as you can get.

If your entire purpose is to ship a product quick, you should be ignoring the "too much magic, too many dependencies" narrative and building something, which Rails is wonderful at.
But sugar is not bad for you, not even fructose.

I recommend on reevaluating that position by reading the article below. Robert Lustig is a liar and a scaremonger.

http://anthonycolpo.com/sweet-stupidity-part-2-the-bitter-tr...

In 2009, the same year Lustig gave his lecture, there was indeed significant consumption of fructose in the Japanese diet. Anyone with an Internet connection can easily verify as much for themselves by visiting the Food and Agriculture (FAO) website, and checking the per capita intake of sweeteners in Japan for that year. Do that, and you’ll see the Japanese were averaging 52 calories per day from fruits, and a far more significant 174 calories daily from sugar. “Sweeteners, Other” and “Honey” supplied another 86 cals/day.

So just from sugar alone, the Japanese were obtaining 22 grams, or 4.4 teaspoons, of fructose per day. The Japanese do indeed eat fructose-containing sugar, and have been doing so for hundreds of years.
