Per-word rates are the most common in English; in German language, it's per character. Sometimes news outlets will establish a relationship with a freelancer that use dto be called a dedicated stringer, and some of those contracts would include a base retainer for the month, with a specified sum extra for words or whole articles over the base agreement. Just recently I heard of a freelancer agreement with Forbes that included a low base sum for four articles a month (very low, tho I can't recall) and US$0.05 per click, and they'll take just about anything she pitches. Some people are excited about the model (including the freelancer doing it). I do think raises questions about whether important topics would not get addressed because they're not grabby enough, but that's less of a problem for an outlet like Forbes than it is for, say, a city or local newspaper (e.g., a routine city hall or school-board meeting)

Do you mean the Visual Basic IDE (VB 1-6). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Basic

Only the dotNet based VB.Net is available in Visual Studio since 2002, with the Visual Studio .Net which was completely rewritten since the 1998's Visual Studio 6.

It's really a simple concept: If the cost of automation is greater than the cost of hiring, then businesses will hire. If the cost of hiring is greater than the cost of automation, then businesses will automate.

If you increase the cost of hiring, more businesses will switch to automation-- since it is now their best option.
I think your best bet is wrapping an existing C++ library using RCpp[1] that will require some work but I hope not too much.

I actually see blogs as remnants of what the Internet used to be. Especially in an age where click bait headlines, copy-paste and memes seems to be what drives most "media" outside of big dogs like the NYT.

Some of the most interesting sites I visit these days are blogs, written by people with a passion for what they do.

Ok that puts some bounds on it; we are talking 1/10ths of seconds as significant? Or 1/2 seconds? There is work on this (https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl/issues/346) and later versions of Julia 0.4 feel pretty snappy to me compared to R (which is the other tool I generally use nowadays)
In countries that aren't the US, things tend to be somewhat closer to this situation... Here in Australia, for example we've basically completely abolished stock certificates for publicly traded companies, and we don't have any equivalent of DTC as far as I am aware. Nominee holdings still exist, but it's significantly less common than in the US, and it's significantly more common for shareholders to be directly registered.

> Go is interesting because doesn't use libc at all (when using the standard compiler)...except when doing some network things that NSS is useful for, when it does link against it. People who want totally static binaries pass a few additional flags to say "don't use NSS, use the Go implementation of these features"...and you then end up with bugs like [2].

Oh god, I completely forgot about that bug. For what it's worth, the technical reasons why Docker had to be linked statically are no longer valid and so it should be able to fix that issue. Unfortunately, "os/user" is lacking some things we need within runC and Docker.

I remember watching a talk about apache Samza [1] that tries to envision a database model that would be truly append only. It is based on Apache Kafka, so it would satisfy your "distributed" and "immutable forever" requirements.

Talk was really interesting, I haven't used it yet, so I am not sure how mature for use as the canonical data-store it is.

As my college professor would put it "I don't thing these have found their Ulman yet." and if you look at companies using it now [2] it seems mostly stream-processing/data-analytics.

Another thing is, I really don't know how Kafka handles checking of the data authenticity, because in my mind there is not that big of a difference between malicious alteration and malicious append.

Because if you then use something like CRDT [3], or DDD style agregates [4] on top of your immutable data , your end users would still see their view on data mutate.

The thing the immutability would mostly give you is log of all the changes and simple way to restore it. And most mutable databases give you that capability as well.

Albert Yale's (RIP) Telnet Scripting Tool.
From Modern Perl, 2014 Edition[1]

Sigils allow you to separate variables into different namespaces. It's
possible–though confusing–to declare multiple variables of the same name
with different types:

my ($bad_name, @bad_name, %bad_name);

Though Perl won't get confused, people reading this code will.

There are plenty of things that are shown as possible in the Perl docs, and only slightly less things recognized as generally a bad idea in most circumstances. Instead of Python's one way to do it, there's really more 1 to 3 accepted, idiomatic ways to do it, and another 2-3 that are considered "situationally acceptable" (those odd cases where it actually makes things more readable, etc). There's often a couple ways that are deemed generally just a bad idea, or at a minimum, still waiting for that special case where they can shine. ;)

She had a proof of concept that turned out didn't scale. If you think it's "useless" to discuss whether and how it's possible for such a CEO to pivot we have nothing further to discuss. I will say that I expect any and every world-changing CEO to be at risk of being in such a position now and in the future, and that the development of a game plan by the startup community for when (not if) this happens again is the difference between billions of dollars of value and the statement "unfortunately I have to say no to changing the world because I only have a working proof of concept. Personally I do not want to run even a 1% risk of ending up in the position that Perry ended up in - and in my conservative opinion I have a 20-90% chance of that. Oh well - I'll put this proof of concept aside and go do something else. "

Well, okay. But I hope it's blindingly obvious that we all lose. . That pre-CEO and the world.

EDIT: Whoever is downvoting me doesn't get it. She had a proof of concept. The proof didn't scale. She raised money - millions - anyway. To me this is all fine. The question is whether she HAD to stick with this non-working concept, or whether she could have pivoted, when she had all that money in the bank and learned that the concept does not work/scale. You guys just don't get the question.
Couldn't find any official changelog.

Biggest feature of this release seems to be 64bit multicore programming.

My experience with this release so far:

- installation on ubuntu 16.04 worked
- it was very easy to create a statically linked executable and run it on my server
- excellent foreign function interface
- separate compilation mechanism
- multicore support
- record polymorphism

For me it is just great to see how SML# matures as a platform.

I can only speak for myself, I attended an evening "getting started with Julia" event at MIT a few years ago, the devs there were very tolerant of me not being able to do some of the exercises and sat with me and helped me understand. Then they gave me Pizza. I've moaned sometimes about some of the decisions that they've made and they have always responded to me and showed me that they have a good reason for doing what they are doing - even if I still think that might be wrong.
Sorry, gonna try to fix...

Since we can probably agree that you're not indexing distances or other units of measurement (you can make a piece of string of length sprt(2) centimeters or other irrational lengths!), let's skip the terminology argument. That wasn't my point.

Is skipping the 13th floor a US thing? I don't recall ever seeing it in the UK or Germany.
Yes coming from nixos, this "foo install me tools; bar build me project" ideom is quite primitive. I have an long-open RFC that I hope will get cross-compilation working the right way https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1133.

That said RustUP is still a fine easy way to get compilers builds as opposed to standard library builds. I view it as convenient duck-tape analogous to Haskell's stack in that regard.
Was it better than expect? (there's a windows port: http://docs.activestate.com/activetcl/8.4/expect4win/ )
Newsgrounds and Kongregate was "web casual games platforms" not "casual games companies" like King or Zynga. Notch (Minecraft) worked as a programmer at King between 2005 and 2009. The app store didn't exist until mid 2008. Minecraft is in many ways a casual game.

WebTV is in that case not a good "prediction". You have to look at what the premise is and if the product fits the premise. Cheap and easy access to the web is failing because of it's hard to build an ecosystem. Most people don't want to buy, say a chromebook, if something else with the full ecosystem is available at a similar price point.
In the short term that is correct. Also remember that since Juries get much information for oral arguments, we will need charismatic lawyer bots or actors.
I don't mind subsidizing the rural areas (the fact is that a great majority of my state and county taxes do go to help those areas). If they need the help, I'm happy to help. I just find the situation a bit ironic given the rhetoric (and political anger) that is repaid.
I mean ,most developing countries i.e Africa are experiencing growth in mobile phone usage yet infrastructure such as roads are being still bad or worse crippled by corruption.A lot of cars get stuck along the road in cities with most people going to mostly school:: during holidays the traffic can be observed to have reduced tremendously.Think of spicing distance learning with live streaming ..

@rgbrenner post below with US census data confirms US Population rise till 2050.

In my above post my calculation of required increase on US electric grid base load is based on 'one CAR' per household which I just realized as wrong calculation.

Based on the info. below US avg. Household size is 2.6 , then number of CARS per household is at least 2.

so when 25% of cars are Electric Cars, you need 25% increase in utility Electric base load, and for 80% EV cars you need 80% increase. That is huge!!!!!!!!!!!!

@toomuchtodo , anyway It is good discussion. I am glad I digged all this info in order to reply. Now it is crystal clear in head what are the US electric grid increasing load needs for the next 20 years.

Hope our Policy makers and Politicians do this simple MATH and prepare with more SOLAR future accordingly ..

Cash was never a good store of value. You could easily lose everything to fire or theft over night. And governments can create inflation to erode the value of cash pretty quickly if they really want to.

There is no erosion of the idea of ownership. As someone who is renting in London I can assure you that quarterly inspections and thick, dirty carpets are an effective reminder of the fact that you are either an owner or something between a child and a criminal.

But speed has multiple dimensions. Yes, you can get things to go faster, quicker with three tactics : get closer to the iron (C, C++ - sometimes), use bigger iron (clusters) or (best) better programming. But the point of Julia is that at the end of the day the second and third tactic are easier for you, and not just you, everybody in the team and beyond.

On the other hand everyone knows that Julia is 0.x which means that while this is the IDEA of Julia it's still not claimed as the reality - although my experience (and some other people) is that it's pretty true most of the time.

Aside from it not being physically possible, there's a question of whether it would beat alternatives.

My wife told me IKEA are now selling wireless charging surfaces. So for example if you buy a shelf, it could have magnetic induction charging, which a number of phones now support. It's not a big deal hooking up some wires, and once it becomes common, there may well be a time when everyone expects every table, shelf, or countertop to charge their devices.

It's not something that requires much research either. I already have a magnetic charging unit for my samsung phone. At the moment it's a toy, but not hard to imagine it built into a shelving unit.
