I was a little late to the game and didn't get a 3d card until Quake 2 was out and had been patched a few times. I bought a Diamond Monster 3d (add on card), plugged it in, installed the drivers and loaded up Quake 2... no difference. After being frustrated, I finally found that I had to enable the OpenGL driver/mode and the console screen dropped, then revealed those rockets flying down the hallways in glorious, well lit 3d! I played for hours before finally going to bed, that was truly amazing.

I eventually got GLQuake and did the same for Quake 1, it was so exciting!

You'll feel instantly at home in phoenix, since you know more or less what MVC, migrations, ... are about.

Then you'll dig deeper into und the actual syntax (a week for rubyists before it clicks?). Dont give up, its awesome.

Then you'll be productive right away. And then you'll discover what OTP actually means in practice and be blown away. (Point of no Return)

And then you fully "get" what channels, distributed systems, umbrella-refactorings and all the latest talks are about.

Phoenix as a whole is so advanced compared with everything else we have currently its not even funny.
I highly recommend the official book, it itself is one of the best books in web dev i've ever read.
So if you think about any opportunity in the market you are bounded by how much liquidity is available at a price level that is mispriced. In many cases the size (or capacity) is correlated pretty closely this what the expected duration of a trade is and the size of the mis-pricing. In my example of a futures contract that is not very liquid as you move into the market and buy contracts you will naturally move the price such that the price moves to the level you were expecting it to. This limits how much capital can be deployed in an single trade.

Bloomberg wrote about smaller shops a few months ago: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-16/barbarian-...

I run a strategy currently which consistently is profitable. I know others that do as well. What I run currently is work that came out of starting an automated trading shop so my partner and I have a considerable amount of infrastructure at our disposal that others just starting might not. I currently work elsewhere in finance but may return to it full time when what I am working on now either succeeds or fails. There have been a proliferation of 2 - 5 person shops that are typically pretty secretive about what they do. Several people I know in different ones don't even say that they have a job on linked in.

That being said there is a lot more available off the shelf things available now (Quantopian,etc...) then there was 5 years ago when I tried.

To your last point going to different markets is not just something that individuals can do. There are for instance HFT firms that started trading in places like brazil given the competitiveness of US markets. Markets are only long run efficient.

Correct, it is a valid method to save a battery. It makes the comparisons invalid though, since you are not testing with the same input.
Then in the worst case you get out of the room and wait until the battery discharges.

If you are seriously worrying about such situation you should also worry that robot can pick up the weapon.
A big (and important) reason IPOs are frequently priced below where they open is that the underwriter is try to ensure that the IPO is fully subscribed. If the IPO opens below the IPO price, then the new shareholders won't be too pleased, and will be less likely to purchase shares of the next IPO.

Too many investors losing money on IPOs --> less demand for IPO shares --> less capital available to (generally) smaller companies.

On the other hand, if investors are constantly making money from IPOs, there will be much more demand in the future, and capital will be much easier for these companies to access.

Ok, but a 50% salary bump doesn't help as much if you also get a 4x (or more) house cost bump.

Before: 100k / 12k ($1k/month) = 88k
After: 150k / 48k ($4k/month) = 102k

Sure, you say to yourself that you ended up with an extra 14k, but then you need to still factor in the rest of your increased costs. And you should probably recalculate everything as an hourly equivalent since you'll likely add 2 or more hours to your daily commute in exchange for keeping that house cost bump at a mere 4x.

The numbers shift based on where you are and how much you make. The point is that a large number of people don't properly factor in all the actual and implicit cost and quality of life changes.
There is a Chinese programming language [1] (better archive of the original [4]) based off the phrase 草泥马 (cǎonímǎ) meaning grass mud horse [2]. It's a meme in China because it's a homonym for 肏你妈 (càonǐmā) meaning "fuck your mother". Foreign internet culture is cool [3].

They're really not all that different. Both are implementations of concurrency based on data-flow synchronization. Alice ML is explicit about running concurrent promises (it has other types of promises as well) in “threads”, but they're lightweight userspace threads. C# AFAIK doesn't specify any particular execution model for await.

Ya, I agree that it's likely that some money was left on the table though I'm skeptical that they could have gotten as high as 23. Comparing volume to the size of the IPO block is a bit of an Apples to Oranges comparison.
Fun fact: Japanese even has a word for foreign characters, "gaiji", and it's extremely common in Japanese ePUBs to use small square images very frequently for characters not in the current font, using the term "gaiji" in the CSS class names used for these characters. And at least one mainstream ePUB reader has special code to detect these gaiji and adjust its rendering to make them behave better.
Async-await isn’t just futures or promises.

It’s compile-time + runtime mechanism that builds those promises from the code that looks like blocking calls (i.e. easy to read, write and debug), but uses asynchronous IO under the hood (i.e. scalable).

BTW, have you read the article you linked? Because among other things, it currently says the following:

Several mainstream languages now have language support for futures and promises, most notably popularized by the async and await constructions in .NET 4.5 largely inspired by the asynchronous workflows of F#, which dates to 2007. This has subsequently been adopted by other languages, notably Dart (2014), Python (2015), Hack (HHVM), and drafts of ECMAScript 7 (JavaScript), Scala, and C++.
Where's firefox in the perf?
So you're rephrasing the question to mean that you see it as 'hunter gatherer mode' thinking (doing it in a practical and short term economically-successful way) vs. 'civilized builder mode' thinking (doing it the way we know it should be done) and that they are antagonistic, and that because of the way our society is structured 'hunter gatherer' mode thinking leads to better economical results?

This ends up as a pretty strong critique of capitalism's main idea that market forces drive the progress of science and technology.

Your thinking would lead to the conclusion that we'd have to find a way to totally reshape/re-engineer the current world economy to stop it from being hugely biased in favor of "hunter gatherers that strip the fertile valley dry" ..right?

I hope that people like you are working on this :)
This was 2014, so it may be different in 2015, but is a reasonable benchmark:

https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/downloads-englisch/pdf-file...

You can see that during 2014 the minimal combined solar and wind production for a day was just 0.022 TWh (just 4% of maximum combined wind and solar). While generally it was around 0.2TWh, the risk of dropping to almost no production means that Germany still can't really rely on wind and solar and still has to significantly rely on coal and gas (especially gas, since it is most flexible).
I do feel bad for this guy, because I feel that the majority of what he says is true, but it just can't be true that an employer saying he didn't work somewhere that he did is effective "blacklisting". I have worked a few places and received several job offers that I declined, and don't know of one case where my previous employer was contacted. I was told by HR at a fortune 200 company that I worked for as a mechanical engineer that they would not confirm or deny to anyone that I ever even worked there. I think that contacting previous employers doesn't happen much because so many people would lie. If the prospective employee was a charismatic fool, the previous employer could gloss over incompetence. If he was a great worker, but the previous employer was sore about him leaving, they could embellish on any shortcomings. Sir, if you are reading this, let go of the past and look inside for what needs to be fixed.
This was the same thing with Facebook. This is how the financial banks that prepared the IPO are making a lot of money easily and probably how Twilio negotiated a low price for the IPO.
From the other comments in the linked article, it looks like they hired more than one person that relocated from another city and were let go in < 1 week of starting employment.

I agree with you that it's a business and they are always doing what's in their best interest which they have every right to do. I think even with that in mind, this could have been handled a bit differently to avoid really sticking it to some people.

Of course, your first qualm (lower salaries) was exactly what the comment said to remove by providing SF "senior-level talent" salaries. USD-converted rates and all. Quality of life in Toronto with those salaries would be excellent, and I think it would attract a lot of talent.

People go under on credit cards because they can't stomach the ascetic lifestyles their (newly worsened) financial situations demand, and credit lets them hold on to their standard of living a little while longer.

I don't think better education about how badly it harms them would help much. We see present upside much more strongly than long-term future downside (see: procrastination), even if we are familiar with the nature of that downside.

Emergency funds probably would.

It's not about competing with Android. It's about bargaining power. If you depend on Google, they can dictate any terms they like. Having an alternative to Android, even a crappy one, sets an upper limit to how hard Google can screw you over.
IMHO the real challenge for scraping (other than at-scale issue like spawning many processes, crawling, proxies etc), is a scraping framework that allows you to change you mind about what needs scraping, without having to redo the entire scrape. Also, re-scraping for updates.

Between "remember every bit of HTML", and "only remember parsed data" is perhaps "remember every bit of HTML, but notice base-html patterns so it can be massively compressed. "dynamic" content like java-script/AJAX content, rendered dates complicate this...

> Canadians at Waterloo enjoy a heavily subsidized world-class education, at the tax-payer's expense, then leave to contribute nothing to the economy that produced them.

I'm not sure that's entirely true. Even foreign students who have no intention of remaining in Canada after university are still adding value.

Why? Because when they go abroad and do good work, they maintain and improve the image of UW. There's a reason it became a world class school, and you can think of former students doing work abroad as sort of like advertising.

Besides, foreign students pay more. Their tuition is not nearly as cheap as that of domestic students.

> Interestingly, some also come back later in life to enjoy subsidized health care to which they've also never contributed.

This is the case in many countries on earth which engage in socialism.

> I wonder if there's a way to structure post-secondary education subsidies as a sort of debt that you can pay off by either remaining employed in Canada, or in cash if you decide to leave.

That would suck, quite frankly. I'm a Canadian who moved abroad after university because I wanted to gain some perspective and see more of the world.

I'm not a resident of Canada currently, so you're saying I should be saddled with additional debt because I left Canada without contributing to the economy?

Why shouldn't education be a right? I had to pay for my education, as I assume you did. Yes, it was subsidized by tax payer money, but in the end I spent ~$35,000 CAD (total) on tuition for my B.Eng.

I had to work summers and internships to pay for my tuition, and housing expenses when I was in university.

Will I return to Canada? I don't know, maybe. I'm still having a blast working abroad, and I'm still in my 20s, so who knows what will happen.

What I can say though, is I'm really glad that Canada didn't charge me an additional tax for going abroad after my education. If I had any kind of significant debt, I wouldn't have been able to afford to move to Europe and look for work.

As the office manager of a relatively early stage startup, I think that company culture absolutely does matter. If people aren't having fun, or happy to be there, work suffers. If people are engaged with each other, sharing experiences and inside jokes, and pleased with the overall atmosphere of the office, it goes better. Why work at an early stage company at all if you don't want to shape the future of it?
How to flirt with women- Craig Ferguson Vol 16
The study acknowledges this downward trend, and shows that the trend accelerated after the ban. They are quite clear that this is not enough to conclude the ban worked as intended, but it is plausible.

Quoting from the discussion section (http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2530362#D...):

This study has several issues related to terminology and limitations that should be considered in the interpretation of these findings. ...

Second, the observational nature of the data in this article precludes assigning causality between enactment of the 1996 gun laws along with the buyback program and subsequent elimination of mass shootings and reduction in rates of total firearm-related deaths and gun-related suicide. Even though the rates of firearm-related homicides and suicides were declining before gun law reforms, banning rapid-fire weapons, and removal of a substantial number of firearms, it is plausible that reducing the availability of weapons may have been related to the acceleration in the rates of declines for these deaths after gun reform.

Ah, I see. Cygnus employees were mainly contributing to GNU projects requiring copyright assignment where they weren't working on Cygnus-specific stuff, and were very often the maintainers of those projects (thus having responsibility to administer the FSF's copyright assignment policy), so I can see how the situation might have been thought of as 'you either assign copyright to Cygnus or to the FSF, whichever is appropriate'. And indeed there is some language maybe still on cygwin.com as of this date that says something a bit like that.

Ithaca area is beautiful, I'm frequently in the Finger Lakes for hikes. Just did fifteen miles a few weekends ago at Treman and Watkins Glen. It's only a bit more than an hour from Rochester where I am, which has similar traffic, albeit the rush hour lasts a bit longer. But the food and drink scene here in the last five years here has exploded. There's been more than a few places open from ex-NYC restaurateurs.
Give things a few months to settle. Right now there are lock-ins that keep prices higher than they might eventually be. One the lock-ins are over, the price will be more realistic.

I'm with you that huge first day bumps don't help the company much. A little PR is nice, but if the price stays that high, they underpriced.

The investment banks have huge incentives to have these first day pops, as it's free cash for some of their high-volume customers.

It costs $375 (plus lawyers fees, usually) and I suspect that they just didn't think it was necessary. Lots of organizations haven't and don't bother registering, unless they expect a problem. Lots of volunteer-run software projects have better things to spend money on and just never get around to registering their name as a trademark until someone else tries to steal it out from under them.
Most of that data isn't "big data". And most of it has been analyzed thoroughly. Sure, ML will be used to re-analyze it, but with mostly the same results. As randcraw states "Most/all of the value has been extracted."

Only a wild-eyed ML "gold digger" could imagine that there is a vein of gold in those mines. The reality is that, with few exceptions, we'll find more lumps of coal.

Perhaps I should switch from an ML swamp metaphor to an ML mine metaphor? <--Hah! Do that with ML!

You're overstating how much power investors have at this stage of a company. During a seed, Series A, Series B etc. the entrepreneurs are often still in complete control and investors are mere advisors.

It is the companies that raise crazy amounts of capital over many rounds who end up at the whim of boards and investors.
I worked in Twilio's marketing department from 2011-14. A key part of our marketing 101 classes for new recruits was that marketing was not a bad word. In fact, to not market a product is an insult to it. The highest honor you can pay to all the hard work that went in to the product, is to market the hell out of it and make sure it gets used.
