Your best shot imho is to learn Python (the easiest and most expendable language for startups: full stack web development, machine learning, security etc.) at your own pace as a side aspect of your cv, while you are in law school. After law school, you could end up with a law-related startup idea and be your own technical cofounder with the comfort of a nicer landing in the case it fails. Good luck!

> In this thread a lot of people don't understand the meaning of monopoly and assumes a monopoly is only synonymous with the companies they hate. It has more to do with having a dominant control over a market and abusing that dominant position to own advantage.

No, it just has to do with the former (usually defined through possession of pricing power, which is very hard to argue Google has in many of the free services in which it is dominant.) The latter is abusing a monopoly, not having one.

"Sweeter" is also a subjective term. They might have the same amount of sugar, but Pepsi definitely tastes sweeter than Coke when just opened.

To me, for lack of a better word, Coke has "harsher" bubbles that somehow drown out the sweetness. Which is why a can of Coke that's been open for an hour is way too sweet to me.

Remain camp also had a large support on media (John Oliver's LN just to mention one). So I asume Brexit could potentially had a lopsided victory without media support for pro EU.

I've been hoping this sort of thing happens for about a decade now. The split between the parties is indeed not natural, and the general values of "liberalism" are pretty much absent from both parties, but more and more younger votes care more about liberalism than about labor, defense, and protectionism (the causes that the major parties squabble over the details of).
I'm one of those silly- I truly prefer Coca Cola vs. Pepsi and just won't drink a soda if it's only Pepsi they have.

I do it for two reasons:

I don't really like any Pepsi products, Sierra Mist is ok, I guess.

I shouldn't be having soda anyway. So on the very rare time I order a Coke and they say they only have Pepsi it's my excuse not to have it at all.

there's defnly some truth to this -- more concise (via expressive power) code can be easier to grok, because it's easier to see the forest w/o so many trees in the way.

but on the other hand, having simple code where it's easy to point at each bit and say 'that does this, that goes here' can also make code easier to understand.

for me personally, on balance, the latter wins outweigh the former losses when going from python -> go. i'd say it's probably a small bump down in expressiveness for a large jump up in 'look and know what it does'-ness.

(it's not like go is really missing that much that python has -- maybe list comprehensions (which are great!), tuples, and generators?)

it'd be fun to do some empirical investigation of these things. take some toy problem, code up idiomatic, by-the-language-advocates solutions, and then throw them at large groups of people asking them to make some change, or fix some deliberately introduced bug, and see how the #s came out. :)

I also find Windows to be a painful environment to work in. All of my preferred tools are second-class citizens on Windows: vim, TeX, emacs, GCC, and pretty much anything that uses GTK or X11, really. The lack of a decent tiling WM slows me down considerably. If it weren't for Cygwin, I don't think I could get anything done in Windows.

I'm trying to think of a single thing that Windows has going for it, but I'm at a loss. I haven't had any driver issues on Linux in over 5 years at this point, and I don't play games, so I have literally no reason to use Windows except for the fact that it's what's supported on my employer's laptops.

I think a resume with Ruby, Python and soon PHP it will see very little resistance on the job market. Like the universe, programming languages burn really hot for a while then, depending how hot it burned, they cool off very slowly. Sometimes even reigniting. God I love metaphors. My thoughts are, don't see it as a step down or back, see it as a widen field of vision. Cultured, season devs are hotter than any language will ever be. Also, never settle.
I understand the need for linking to the original source, but I just looked at both and the latter is arguably harder to read.

In general, it's because different languages have sufficiently different semantics that you can not in general use a term from one language on another.

You might think to yourself "Surely this parameter/argument thing is such a fundamental bit of terminology that it would apply to all languages?", to which I'd point out that there's an entire paradigm to which this distinction doesn't, strictly speaking, apply: Concatenative languages. Further, in Perl 5, functions and methods don't really have "parameters" at all. (Prototypes permit some optional, complicated, and generally not used stuff.) Also, in a language that permits equational reasoning it's not clear to me that the distinction has the same meaning, though I'll concede that's a more subtle point.

I'm not aware of very many terms that can be strictly applied across all languages. Even something as innocuous as "int" has significantly different semantics in different languages (does it roll over or transparently upgrade to a BigInt?). You could call it a "machine int", perhaps, but that terminology isn't necessarily what I'd call "common use" even if most people will know what you mean.

This is really the counterpoint to what you're saying.

You have to read documentation. It's dense and boring. It's the hardest thing to read. A poor reader is going to have a rough time with it, IMO--particularly so if they stumble into a poorly documented tool or API.

This from an earlier post made me laugh:

It’s important for the brand to look and feel human. We’re a tech company. Tech is the opposite of human, so we have to make the brand human. Humans attract humans. I’ve got some human ideas.

This title is pretty blatantly wrong and isn't what the article's title is anyways. Unity didn't maker Pokemon Go, unity was used to make Pokemon Go by Niantic.

There is a vendor out there who not just put a default browser on their OS, but forbid browsers that aren't just shells for their default browser's rendering engine.

The meaning of parameters and arguments in the context of functions, which is what this post is about, are defined as usual[1]:

> argument n. 1. (of a function) an object which is offered as data to the function when it is called.

> parameter n. 1. (of a function) a variable in the definition of a function which takes on the value of a corresponding argument (or of a list of corresponding arguments) to that function when it is called, or which in some cases is given a default value because there is no corresponding argument.

What you describe are the two possible ways of defining special variables, which are more like program parameters.

Pop simplified musical structures. It made music accessible to both the player and the listener. Anybody could make and enjoy pop and this was a major departure from the previous generation's code. The bands of the 1960s turned their lack of musical training into an asset.

> Still, there are some things that almost everybody agrees are better than some other things

Within the accepted confines of a genre or style, yes. For instance, if you are playing the blues and cannot do a decent note bend, you are boring the audience. But bending a note is not a criterion in every style. So how does one employ that as an aesthetic criterion for ALL music?

The problem with a universal aesthetic criterion is that we run into the same old arguments about how rap is not music, how metal is noise and how free jazz is chaos (or how Philip Glass is just repeating three notes).

Does that help?
The other poster was correct when he recommended BBC world news. That is basically what news is like in Norway as well - less sensationalized, and not nearly as much like a grab-your-attention-with-gimicks show. And there is a much larger section to international news, and that part is much broader than I'd get from a channel in the states. Folks are much more aware - to the point that a taco place advertises it as "so Mexican, Trump would build a wall around it", and that is funny to folks here. Brexit is obviously a big story right now.

For another example, listen to news on your local NPR station. You might get a feel for the presenter's opinion, but most of the information is simply information. That is much more near the 'flavor' of news here.

If something can be quickly learnt, then it can't have been too different from what one already knows: i.e., the diff between HEAD & HEAD~1 is relatively small. But small diffs don't do much.

Emacs has a gentle but very long learning curve: it's quick to pick up (quicker than vi!) because it does have some similarities to tools one may already be familiar with, but there's real depth and complexity to emacs as a whole, which means that one never stops learning it. Kinda like life in general: being born was easy, and we never stop learning after.

what is a task/thread/process?

where do I start.... a processor naturally has one thread of control, i.e. it executes instructions sequentially.

To simulate multiple things happening at a time a context-switcher periodically saves and restores the current processor state and switches to another sequence.

Each sequence is a thread-of-control... commonly known as a thread (or task, or process).

...and this isn't embedded-specific, just computer-science specific.
