I followed your link which leads me to rant a bit:

LZFSE has been out since one year. Not one mention on wikipedia. The repo lacks a good description what lzfse is. It also contains a LZVN encoder/decoder. The only information I found about it is some blog where someone seems to reverse engineer it for some hackintosh purposes.

I know documenting and presenting the case why people should use your software/file format can be annoying to do, but it's really important.
Readability is subjective and largely colored by your experience. Verbosity or succinctness isn't the problem here; it's that the syntax and semantics of Q are unfamiliar to you. I think it's very important to take a moment to step back and consider how many choices in language design you may be casually taking for granted.

Many mainstream languages today- Java, Python, Ruby, C, PHP etc.- have very similar core semantics and syntax. Choices of keywords and type systems differ, but loads of ideas work the same, especially when you consider idiomatic everyday code- for loops, scalar variables, some superset of the algebraic rules for operator precedence you learn in math class. Whitespace in an expression tends to be irrelevant, but sometimes its absence is significant. To add a scalar to a list, you use a loop. Assignment operators flow right to left. Lists tend to be indexed from zero. How many of these choices are essential and how many are arbitrary? All of these languages are descendants of FORTRAN and ALGOL, sometimes with some ideas from the Lisp family thrown in. They share a common heritage.

Q, K, J, A+ and APL represent an entirely parallel course of evolution. Within this family there is a great deal of mutual intelligibility. I'm very familiar with K, but the Q dialect doesn't surprise me. When learned, it's familar- readable. What did source code look like to you before you learned to program?

The APL family isn't amazing because programs tend to be short; that's a side-effect of the positive properties of these languages. They teach you to write naturally parallel solutions to problems and offer a simple, consistent way to compound together and apply functions to large structures at once. Please don't say "this looks different than I'm used to" and then close your mind to what the paradigm has to offer.
tl;dw: Happiness is fleeting, chasing an emotion is intrinsically difficult/impossible. too often we say we want team happiness but what we really want is happiness of specific members whom we consider important, thereby creating a two class system(at which point she makes reference to the holocaust?). what we really want is equanimity on our teams, i.e. calmness. This allows for more nuanced discussion of issues, because when you optimize for happiness you and your team can hide reality from one another in order to ensure happiness.

Even worse, he contrasted "mediocre success" against "failure", whereas anyone outside of the tech bubble would have looked at the numbers and rightly called it a failure outright.

This seems like the issue to me, they can say they'd have Google's Loon business. But that's 0 actual business. I don't see how they can possibly claim they'd have Google's advertising business since it's obviously completely unrelated to what they do.

It's brilliant language, and all, but I don't buy it. Here's why:

1) languages with this high level of abstraction are very nice if your scenario maps perfectly to its usage (e.g. the wikipedia analysis given in the video). Everything is nicely vectorizable, etc. But if there is some quirk in your data, then sometimes you need to go the usual way, and the Q is of no help (no better than any other language), with the difference that now you do some very inefficient things with those "stinky" loops.

2) it's a question of taste, but I find Q syntax a bit unusual. Probably more time you need to think how to fix your simple problems with this clever one-liners than simply, well solving them...

3) legibility: for all of us working in software developement, we know how much time we waste due to illegible code. Finding bugs, etc. Here this is raised to the new level... of difficulty

4) this is a bit exaggerated, but I don't see how I could use Q in something bigger? Is Q only a scripting languages for one-off mini-batch programs? For instance R has this problem of not having any well-defined project structure, and it is hard to do many things, for instance: bigger programs are hard to maintain and debug, stream processing with R is pain in the ass. Server-side stuff is a little bit shoehorned (Shiny server is cool, but then it's just one-thread thing for serving filtered dataframes to ggplots)

It is cool niche language, but for smart simple analyses, nothing too complex, as it will abstract you from details to your loss.
I took the AI for robots on Udacity, the Machine Learning at Coursera and the Control of mobile robots on Coursera. They are all very good in my opinion. Of those, I would start with the Machine Learning course. Not only is it an excellent course and has material found in the others, but if you are at all rusty on your Linear Algebra it will help with that, in addition to the programming of course all of these course make heavy use of linear algebra. The coursera course both use Matlab, the Udacity course uses Python.

Of the robotics course I would say the one on Courera is better in terms of the basics of a robot, like odometry, PID control, etc. The one on Udacity I found more informative in terms of higher level concepts like route planning and localization.

I have a MasterCard that takes a pin. I've been asked to enter the pin at several places, including WalMart. It is a credit card, not a debit card.

Frankly, I'm baffles by these claims that US cards don't work with chip and pin because so far, if I use the chip, I have been required to use the pin.

I also have a corporate amex with a pin set up, but I've never used it.

It partly depends on scale. At the individual freelancer level it is hard to think about or justify paying a salesperson to sell your services. It often becomes clear when you have grown your freelance business into a small consultancy with 4 or 5 consultants that you need to keep busy. Now it becomes clear that what you need is a salesperson whom you pay and whose expertise and interests are aligned with yours.

Another thing to consider is mutual commission arrangements with consultants whose skills and services are complementary to your own. I have this arrangement with a friend 10% commission on referred projects.

It hasn't been a great steady source but a project here and there comes my way.
For a couple of years my debit card was paywave. When it worked it was excellent, though it seemed to fail about 20% of the time (I'd end up swiping). Then my bank removed it on their newer cards. I was sad.
Not really... traditionally, lady is the feminine equivalent of lord, both of which are technically granted titles. That said, no CFO would likely complain if you called them 'the Lord CFO'... it does have a nice ring to it.

'Ms.' would have been a valid choice, which the person correcting him used to little controversy. I think the problem was not using a gender specific pronoun and rather the way it was used. For example, directing somebody to a stranger and refering to them as 'the lady over there', is totally different than saying 'the lady CFO' as if it qualifies her title. Addressing her as 'Ms. CFO' would be appropriate, as is 'Mr./M(r)s. President' for example.
They went from a company trying to sell to restaurants to one that will sell to developers?

Developers are some of the cheapest people I know. Many refuse to even pay for tools that save them a lot of hours per month (i.e. PyCharm). They don't know how to value their own time.

So unless they start targeting the C level management this product is probably doomed.

Thanks for the summary.

I suppose the question one could then ask is "will AlphaGo's approach wind-up being emulated over time or is it going to be something like a cul-de-sac?

How many single algorithmic challenges are worth expending this much effort on? Could AlphaGo's approach be applied to other such problems? Will increasing processor speed just make all this effort moot? Is AlphaGo something like Deep Blue (the custom computer that beat Kasparov and then was dismantled rather than being developed further)?

Look, try to hire emotionally intelligent people. Be honest to them about what they're getting into when they get hired (ways in which the company operates, the technology stack the company is required to support, etc.). Finally, be open to suggestion when you can be accommodating to better ways of doing things that are mutually beneficial. If you're still having problems, you might need to acknowledge that you made a bad hire and act accordingly (toxic people make your emotionally intelligent employees unhappy in ways that you are responsible for).

Obviously optimizing for "happiness" in some sort of naive, single-minded sort of way is not the way to go about things. If you have the type of employees that you have to infantilize and throw dumb perks, entitlements, and power to in order to make them happy, you need to reconsider a few things. But on the flip side, if the only inputs to your model of employee wellbeing are "bad news" and "ignorance/delusion", you're probably running an abusive workplace.

This kind of stuff shouldn't be rocket science.

I am a bit baffled that people think about it so highly. I found three-body highly flawed, but at least moved at a good pace; I could barely get through the first few chapters of dark forest. The characters lacked any depth, the writing and structuring were very poor as well.

> I'm skeptical that the investor that said that meant anything by it.

I think that's rather the point... If the investor were aware of the sexist nature of his comment, it wouldn't be necessary to raise awareness in the first place. Just because something isn't malicious doesn't mean it isn't sexist. It comes across as a diminutive affix.
Some of his stories leave me that way, too. Others, even very short ones, have stayed with me every since I read them. Here are two of my favorites that are both very short: "The House of Asterion" http://ddm.ace.ed.ac.uk/project-files/Asterion/story.html and "The Circular Ruins" https://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/00/pwillen1/lit/cruins...
"Constructor" already got used by C++ for something different. A Hoon mold is more like a C++ struct than a C++ constructor.

And if you saw a file of Hoon molds, in normal programmer English, you'd say, "these are type declarations." I might even say it myself.

As for the external representation -- it's a name for a file containing a Hoon mold. Actually orthogonal to serialization format, as all nouns are serialized the same way. It really is more like a MIME type, if a MIME type was a function you could run. There's no word for this.

There is a common programming term for a set of values. The word is "type." "Domain" is a little bit odd, because we usually compute the "type" (span) as the range of an expression...

Bottom line is, this stuff is hard!
Or by their job title, in this context. "I have a question for the CFO" would work quite well. It's equally selective (there's only one CFO). Replacing the investor's two questions (one to "The Lady CFO" and one to "Mr. Drummond") with "The CFO" and "The Chief Legal Officer" results in a far less weird phrasing.

Imagine if someone said "I have a question for the black Chief Legal Officer" or "I have a question for the overweight professor" (ok, the latter hits too close to home -- darn free food at google). A superfluous specifier emphasizes the thing that's being specified.
Do people not already do this? I don't really make an effort to use a different keypair for every service, but I ran into the the max-attempts thing very soon after I started using ssh-agent, and so I do have to keep my .ssh/config up-to-date.

DEF CON 24 SCHEDULE
I was in New York during Hurricane Sandy. I was staying in a hotel and the power was out. The morning after the storm I went outside to see what was going on. There was a big CNN truck with a dish and a big crowd.

I thought
"maybe the mayor is speaking to the media" and walked over. Turns out the crowd was people charging their phone from the truck. CNN generously left the truck running there for a couple of days.
What's "charged" about it?

National currencies must also be exchanged for other currency when you want to spend in some other currency regime. I can't spend my SEK elsewhere without exchanging, just like with BTC and ETH.

Happiness takes place in your head, typically based on a series of judgements you make about what's been happening around you "oh that was nice", "hmmm I didn't like that". That means it a relative phenomena and can be in your control if you can get concious enough about the stream of judgements your make throughout the day.

Bearing that in mind it makes more sense to optimize for good health. If a job is causing your health to deteriorate perhaps it's time to stop? There are a lot of happy workaholics in software
I'm not convinced. The existence of "complex" features in a language aren't an issue IMO as long are they're not shown right away. You almost always present to beginners variables, functions, conditions, loops, basic types and one kind of list, and let them play with that.
They'll quickly get the gist of it and be wanting to do something actually useful...
The scary part is not usually in the language itself, it's at the boundaries: interaction with the APIs of the platform it's running on, UI manipulation, file read/write, etc.
It's hard to build anything useful without I/O, and that's when things start to become hairy.
That, and when you have to master abstracting things away, which comes pretty fast.
NASA Ignites Fire Experiment Aboard Space Cargo Ship
I built a journal-over-email app that has been a profitable side business since day one. Defining "profitable" is necessary, I think - in this case it's covering it's own costs + more. This isn't my full-time gig, so I'm not counting any sort of hourly rate for my own time. The MVP is something I built over a long weekend, and I occasionally work on it while my wife and I watch TV/movies (so the time investment hasn't been too drastic, and the alternative is $0/hr).

The app is called Dabble Me (https://dabble.me) and you can read about the inspiration and costs to run here: https://medium.com/startup-lesson-learned/increase-your-happ...

Today (18mos since launch) it's generating around $500/mo in passive income. I played around with a few different pricing models. The first was a "donate whatever you can" for a few pro options (did not generate what I expected), the next was a pretty lenient freemium model (lacked the upgrades), and what seems to be working best is a very stringent freemium model.

A big part of Dabble Me and my passion for the project arises from this being a "scratch your own itch" build. I want this service to exist more than anyone else...so I built it and charged others to use it. That seems to be a theme that has a higher success rate than others.
