This is my theory as to why Europe can't compete with silicon valley. It turns out, what they're "competing" on is willingness to turn a blind eye to monopolies and their negative economic effects.

Inboard maintenance in cramped quarters ankle-deep in oily bilge muck is not a joke. Any sailboat big enough to live aboard is going to have an engine of some sort. Outboards are probably the least bad if you can make that work and not drop it into the sea, but most have inboards which require some degree of maintenance.

It would be a better analogy if it was a developer of TCP/IP and something bad happened to their website so to fix it they fucked with TCPIP to fix an application level issue.

Ehhh Kiva being the only company isn't a healthy market. Even if they're selling to everyone.

To be honest Amazon buying Kiva is probably the best thing that could happen. They broadcast to the world that such a company is worth almost a billion dollars. Now the market is filling with competitors and investment. That's exactly what you want.

I've been using ZF1 and then ZF2 for the last 4 years. The learning curve is a bit steep, but when you understand how the framework works, then it's a breeze to work with.
I just had to learn by trying and looking at the sources, since the documentation is quite poor.

I never used Symfony, but I'm curious to hear from someone who tried both (ZF2, Symfony 2), what they like best of Symfony. Might give it a try in the next projects

Internet Voting?
I don't agree with the points you raised.

- <1% AAA titles vs Windows ? There are less than 100 AAA titles every year on Windows, and I'm pretty sure we get more than 1 % based on the recent releases of Shadow of Mordor and Tomb Raider 2013. Of course the percentage is still small but certainly not in that range.

- there is more and more Day 1 AAA support than ever for Linux. XCOM2. Dying Light, just to name a few. Such ports are not always flawless but there were non-existent before. You can't say there is no difference at all.

- 2000: a lot of them are indie games. Whether those are borderline games or not is left to your opinion, but I personally have several hundred games on Linux that are actual games and not "mobile-games ported to Linux" kind of games.

- Not better than 5 years ago ? You must be kidding. 5 years ago apart from WINE there was basically close to no official Linux support. The earliest support before Valve jumped in were indie devs like 2D Boy. Since them the amount of official support has massively improved by ANY metric.

- WINE has improved a lot actually. First, DX9 translation is becoming extremely close to native Windows performance, and it's not rare to see DX9 games performing better on WIndows than on Linux. Then, DX11 support is actually coming by the end of 2016 (based on a recent interview with the main supporters of WINE, Codeweavers).

- Vulkan is now out there and since it will be a cross-platform API unlike DX12, you can imagine broader support for Linux in the future.

So, I don't share at all the level of negativity of your comments. There's never been any better time to game on Linux than now.
Many games run fine on Linux (most of the interesting ones), and I also use my gaming laptop for work and school.

I am afraid this is true.

The `declare` thing is common lisp is a bit poorly understood in general:

`declare` is not a promise the compiler makes to you to only accept the declared type.

`declare` is actually a promise YOU make to the compiler to only pass the declared type as parameter. Knowing this, the compiler can activate some optimization (it's an integer? i guess i can skip type detection then).

But let's get real:

(declare (type integer x))
(* 2 x))

Let's Stop Freaking Out About Artificial Intelligence
The Dead is a good film, undeniably, but its basis is the final short story of Dubliners, which is Joyce's most approachable work; everything afterwards was increasingly avant-garde, but Dubliners is at least written according to conventional rules of both English grammar and literature (though there's a lot going on behind the scenes).

(I personally very much enjoyed Portrait... and Ulysses - the latter is very difficult in places, but on the whole an astonishing achievement. I'm saving Finnegans Wake for my retirement.)

Glad you found it amusing.

Re: 'The Dead', I got a copy of it as a present last christmas after boring people for years about what a good film it is, though I hadn't seen it in years.
AFAIK it was John Huston's last film and a labour of love (his daughter Angelica is in it).
It's a bit dated now (made in the 80s) and low budget but it still holds up imo. The main character has some long thoughts to himself about life, death and how little we really know those closest to us, that are very moving imo.

> One thing that's been on my mind lately is an old article by Joel Spolsky [1] about accurate estimating. I'm absolutely terrible at estimating but I'm using Joel's method to improve that. Better estimates mean better code. Why? Because if you estimate 1 day for a task that really takes 2 days, you'll be rushing, stressed and tempted to cut corners by the start of day 2. If you've planned 2 days for it, you can use the time more effectively.

Only if you were using that planning for something. Is the business value of that feature really so marginal that you want to do it if it takes 2 days but not if it takes 1? I find it's more useful to prioritize, limit work in progress, set a cap on how long any one task is allowed to take before you reassess, but explicit estimation isn't worth it.
If you are an indie gamer like myself than there is enough stuff to play on a non Windows machine.

I've been an avid gamer for years but where 10 years ago I gamed only on Windows, that is definitely not the case today.
This is a dangerous ruling, for sure.

But the problem is that most home computers connected to the Internet are in fact not private. Sure, the defendant in this case was using Tor. But the fact that NIT pwned him tells me that he was working in Windows. Probably with just Tor browser. And obviously not with any protection against non-Tor Internet connectivity. The Tor Project ought to warn users about these issues.
> And your 'suit not cowboy boots' comparison doesn't even make sense. In the parts of the US where cowboy boots are popular in rural areas, they are also popular in urban areas. Visit Dallas and see that dress cowboy boots go just fine with a suit. Governors and legislators, President Bush and innumerable wedding party members, have all paired cowboy boots and suits.

Sounds like it makes perfect sense to me, given that my whole point was that synechdoche is about using a salient feature, not necessarily a universal one. That's what I was trying to say about the dots/feathers thing - cowboy boots are associated with (mostly southern) rural areas - they're even called cowboy boots, even if they are used other places and even if most people in the south or in rural areas don't wear them most of the time. Suits are associated with big metropolitan companies, even though people in rural areas still wear suits.

1) It is in the range of 1% and you've missed the rest of my sentence which is within the first 3 years of their release. Shadow of Mordor and Tomb Raider came out fairly late in their life cycle.

I've said that out of the big publishers only 2K seems to want to support Linux currently XCOM2 was the only "AAA" game that came out with day 1 support of Linux performance issues aside (Pretty much all the big games on Linux on Steam have considerably higher system requirements and do have performance issues, Shadow of Mordor is near unplayable).

2) 2000: a lot of them are indie games. Whether those are borderline games or not is left to your opinion, but I personally have several hundred games on Linux that are actual games and not "mobile-games ported to Linux" kind of games.

Again which games, I have 3714 (I have a Steam account since HL2 like most others, and on this summer sale alone I've spent nearly 400$ already on games) games in my Steam Library some of them do have Linux support (Valve and a few 2K games) but for the most part none of the games I or my friends play come with Linux support

3) Wine has improved but you again missing my point completely 5 years ago I could play most games on Wine today due to lack of DX11 support I cannot play any new games on it, yes DX11 support will eventually come but atm the library of new games I can play on Wine is smaller than what I had around 2006/7.

4) Vulkan is now but there isn't much to any support for it as of yet, it's too early to tell what's going to come of it, but I doubt it will get a large scale adoption it's just the matter of things, OpenGL tanked, Mantle tanked, like it or not DX is king currently.

5) Well I don't know about you but I remember when I could play WoW, Warcraft 3, and Call of Duty etc. on Linux using Wine on day 1 pretty much these days it's not the case so for me there are actually less titles I would want to play on Linux, but hey different strokes.
Why would use a gaming laptop only for gaming?
"On the indie side things are much better so if you are only a very casual gamer or really like some old school stuff you'll have things to play, if you want to play AAA titles Linux isn't where you find it."

Indie games doesn't automatically mean casual games or old school stuff. I personally find triple A a bit of a misnomer seeing how the gameplay is seriously lacking in a lot of those games. In the end when I want to watch pretty pictures I will rent a movie.
I've found the opposite. Maybe "Ken" could do it, but most programmers who think they can can't. I've had three programmers spend three days thinking about a problem to no avail, and then fired up a debugger and tracked it down in half an hour. Never be too proud to use your tools.
If the compiler is optimising code away, it's optimising away its copy of code that the diligent programmer has already written. ie. the implied assertion that the check is not performed at all is not true. The check is not performed twice.

Of course programmers are not always diligent but perhaps in that case a language which unconditionally demands diligence is not the right choice.

> It also adds a very sub­tle, ex­cep­tional case to sev­eral very com­mon func­tions, bur­den­ing pro­gram­mers.

Dealing with the burden of subtle and/or exceptional cases is the price of using a low-level language. If the price is unacceptable, don't buy the product.
Interesting. That's the opposite of my experience. When I try to think about things I get them wrong. When I just write code it works out.

A non-compete clause in an employment agreement isn't valid. I think it's arguable for a stock option agreement. At that point it's not a one-sided agreement. The employee is gaining something in exchange for their non-compete, and can opt out if they want.

I would bet they don't apply that to existing employees, but they'll give it a shot on anyone hired since the change.

If this turns into a trend, it will mean a very interesting change to silicon valley culture. I read a blog post a couple of days ago that the average tenure for a software engineer at a medium to large company in SV was 1.5 to 2 years. With an effective way to push non-compete agreements on employees, that would be... significant. It would take a lot of companies doing it at once, though. Otherwise everyone would simply avoid the handful of firms that did it. After looking at this summary, I wouldn't work for Palantir. If I did, I'd have to consider the stock completely valueless.

Alvin Toffler, author of Future Shock, dies aged 87
It's not an outright falsehood. He's referring to the (correct, but also insidious) fact that compared to a 90-day exercise window, more people will end up exercising under a more extended window - and this will dilute. In other words, extended windows reduce the number of options returned to the pool, and are thus slightly dilutive.
If they actually use cold storage - as they say they do, then those bitcoins aren't going to be stolen. It would be far more likely that the system that accounts for ownership would get attacked, and that is a risk that existed long before bitcoin (and a problem solved by direct bitcoin ownership).
Well, we know that the NSA pwns sysadmins.

More generally, the ruling seems inconsistent with CFFA. So websites could freely compromise users, even more than they already do. And perhaps vice versa. Although there's arguably a distinction between home computers and commercial ones.

For a fixed level of technology, a competitive industry is better for customers than a monopoly industry. But an innovative monopoly may be better than a stagnant competitive industry, and the prospect of monopoly rents encourages innovation. The patent system is supposed to be the compromise here: if you innovate you get 20 years of monopoly, after that your innovation is commoditised.

Just FYI, participation was above 70%. ("The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting. It was the highest turnout in a UK-wide vote since the 1992 general election" - BBC)
