Surprising it doesn't make use of colour, it'd be throwing away quite a bit of differentiating information?
I'd love to see a blog post on some of the nitty-gritty details on this. Even if there's no known root cause, it'd be fascinating to see your analysis on this.
It's still mean spirited to dump water on a stranger even if it doesn't actually hurt them. It's subjecting someone to something they don't want for your own amusement.

The claim that humans have nothing to fear about getting wet is also less true than ever now that people are carrying electronics with them constantly, but that's not really relevant for people Woz targeted in his 20s.
You'd be surprised how few people in software care that you can work a whole stack. Business people don't like to deal directly with programmers because they don't like hearing all the jargon, and managers love assembling dream teams of specialists because it makes them look good. QAs, on the other hand, love a generalist.

I'd say a true full stack dev is someone who can always get to the bottom of a problem. You can earn a lot of respect that way without stepping on other people's toes.
Um... the revolution of productivity that his happening in the workplace will likely enhance social behaviour and especially creative behaviour. The last revolution was about applying personal computing to the work environment - which did eliminate a lot of jobs, but created many more creative ones... and also brought about a much greater connectedness between human beings - first through email and then through social media. The next revolution is through robotics and one that will free many people from mundane tasks to much more creative ones... Bringing manufacturing back to the garage, and opening the opportuity for profit to many more people. In the same way, robotics/ai will also reduce traffic and provide a service where a person can have a physical presence virtually anywhere on the globe. We do not yet know the implications of the latest technological innovations - but history has definitely proven that each one only enhances not only our productivity (and "fun") but also our social connectedness.
They don't have to. We have to force it with regulations. And if you still don't cooperate, we'll pull the enforcement of your patents and copyrights.
Generally in real currency, when the government has difficulty managing things (like in Brazil with years of inflation), people seem to have no trouble returning to the currency after things are apparently fixed (for example, in Argentina where foreign investors are happy to buy government bonds now).

For that reason, I suppose Ethereum will continue to exist and draw support.
"Saving" usually refers to investments which are then loaned out to increase the velocity of money while "hoarding" does not.

No, China stole few manufacturing jobs.

US manufacturing output is at an all-time high today. It hasn't decreased, it has significantly expanded since NAFTA was created. Productivity destroyed those jobs. The US is producing far more output, with far fewer manufacturing jobs. It's a replication of the productivity gains in farming previously. Workers have to move to other skill fields with growth, just as they did as farming's productivity soared.
Eventually we'll get to a point where it is just a circular hierarchy of managers managing other managers managing the first set of managers. Emails and meetings will fly around ceaselessly, while the machines churn away.
True, on Android/Linux you're likely to not get any updates at all
Indeed, and I'm under no illusion about manufacturing jobs moving out of the US. But I just don't see the connection to NAFTA.
Before S there were onerous Fortran routines. Rich Becker, one of the authors of S gave a really interesting talk about this at the useR conference this year, you should check it out if you haven't already: http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2016/07/rick-becker-s-ta...

You say that developing S was a misstep, what decision would you have made instead? Build on Fortran?

As others have mentioned, the swelling battery is a fire risk. I had the same issue for a macbook some years ago and the Apple store replaced it for free. I can't recall whether I had AppleCare at the time, but the macbook wasn't purchased via Apple. So it likely didn't.
Jobs can't be stolen. It's just a structured activity that we give worthless colored paper (or bits on a bank's server) to people for doing.

I'd recommend showing them "cool" things that use programming. Wearables, small automated things, computer controlled squirtguns, 3d printers, visit a local maker space, etc.

Sure there's many people that self started decades ago and taught themselves programming from scratch with minimal resources. But lets face it, those people are the exception not the rule.
I think there's no harm in adding them, some people may use them even if they are just a reminder to share. I think they should be kept fairly simple though, no JS etc.
Ironically, as a non-default choice for most of the computing world, Linux developers have far more motivation to actually care about their users' preferences.

Over a decade of xp. helping people understand what went wrong with their soft. or why their pc "won't work". Basic understanding of how to take hw apart, isolate issue, and put it back together. Very basic understanding of how to build a linux OS from scratch, including kernel options. Few years' entry level xp. with databases. Can design, create, populate, optimize, and trim DB of many different types, from spreadsheets, through Blackbaud CRM, MS Access, and SalesForce, to SPSS and basic R, on many OS. Can design, calculate, question, test, implement and reimplement analytics from pivot tables to multiple regression models. Currently learning how to implement machine learning in R and working my way up to calculus. Want to learn C to build device drivers so my computers work like they should. Some basic LaTeX, 3rd world cert in HTML/CSS. Natively bilingual in both EN and ES, US citizen but lived abroad. Extremely eager to learn and be challenged. Want to work my way up to managing large DB and servers (or preferably stats) within the next 2 years, passing through desktop support if necessary. Could not afford getting any certs yet but I intend to within a year. Can do some basic debugging, have a rPi2 and old MBP, both running Arch Linux, so I have some basic familiarity with everything going horribly wrong. No problem whatsoever with working overtime. 100% ok with cleaning out junk on keyboards for a while to prove myself until I work my way up to "staring at kernel dump in hazy confusion.” Free time at work will mostly be spent learning, reading, failing at scripting cron jobs, or hacking espresso machine.

Well if communist theories are correct at a certain time the robots will be owned by the government (the people), and produce unlimited bounty. The idea being that people will only need to do minimal work. Now whether that works and we can figure out equitable distributions of that bounty remains to be seen (I'm pretty pessimistic it'll work, human greed will just get in the way).

My point is more that it's only celebrating the ones who were still acceptable. Crazy, but not too crazy. Maverick, but not too maverick. Ones that we'd gotten used to.

Basically, safe 'crazy' people, with the benefit of historical hindsight. How safe? Of the 17 'crazy ones', only 4 were alive at the time of the tv adverts, and apart from Branson and Turner (both business figures rather than cultural), the glory days were long gone for all of them.

Down karma, so might as well comment some more, so yes it seems weird that ARM wouldn't have a way to do this in-house. How do they prove to the fab houses that the chip specs are good and don't have errors. With the high cost to make one, I think I'd like know that it's really going to work.

Since the OP works for ARM, good that they are starting to do this. And since they are in the best position to see everything, it will be something that other vendors can rely on for their designs.
Do you have some numbers to back this up? I don't recall almost everything in my house being manufactured in China when I was a child in the 70s. It appears to be the case now though.

Trademarks must be defended or they risk being lost. It seems to me (a legal layperson) that this is not only a reasonable action, but also, unfortunately, a necessary one.
So we now know that contracts on Ethereum mean what they say, unless there is a community consensus that the contract actually means something else, and the machine meaning doesn't properly reflect the intent of the parties.

But it is a little unsatisfactory to have this ad-hoc method of hard forking. Maybe there should be in future some sort of public process to determine whether an action is consistent with the intentional meaning of the contract (as opposed to the machine meaning). We could all agree to appoint some qualified person to hear disputes and determine whether the code has got it wrong and we should fix the code with a hard fork. Let's call that person a 'judge'.

Now that judge will need to have procedures and rules. He or she isn't deciding on a whim, after all. These rules will set out things like what evidence the judge can look at to determine the intentional meaning of the contract. Just for giggles, let's call one of those rules the 'parol evidence rule'. Also, we don't want anyone to be able to bug the judge and waste their time, so we need some rules as to who can ask the judge to look at a dispute. I'm feeling creative, so let's call those rules 'standing rules'.

What would be really fabulous is if this system could be paid by the taxpayer out of general revenue. That way we can reduce the likelihood of the biggest, richest investors bribing the judges.

But this is obviously all fantasy. No one would ever build such a system.
If you lift in a gym, one option is dragging a bench into a power rack [1]; this will allow you to bail using the safety bars.

Three counter points to that claim.

3) Real manufacturing output per US worker, 1947-2011:

Real manufacturing output is far higher today than when NAFTA began. That giant sucking sound, is mostly productivity gains ending jobs that apparently no longer needed to exist.
This seems like an overly idealistic perspective.

but history has definitely proven that each one only enhances not only our productivity (and "fun") but also our social connectedness

I think history has shown that overlords like rent seeking until disenfranchised poor people revolt violently or nations fall into war, making all the normal societal conflicts irrelevant.

I am not sure social connectedness has improved. It may have improved in quantity, but not necessarily in quality. Check out how well people in cities know each other compared to decades ago. Of course, you need to compare apples to apples. Comparing disenfranchised situations yesterday to nice situations today is the same as comparing disenfranchised situations today to nice situations yesterday. Compare nice to nice.

The whole idea about robotics and AI freeing people from mundane tasks is not new. Automation throughout history has always had good and bad consequences, but it's also fairly certain that such industrial revolutions have always been accompanied by upheaval and uncertainty, as power players try to use new technologies for both good and bad.

The Victorian Internet about the invention of the telegraph is an excellent read for an example of how the more things change, the more they stay the same.

I used to love the Mac, but for a long time now, Windows+Linux have outpaced the MacOS experience.

Visual Studio runs absolute rings around XCode.

And I day this as a vim/make user with a significant Linux investment.

Sometimes, I'll port software to windows, only so that I can use Visual Studio!

Any OS is fine for browsing the web. Windows is better fort playing games. And VMWare means I can develop my Linux server software in a Linux environment, which avoids any compatibility surprises.

3dsMax or Inventor don't even run on MacOS, but most people luckily don't have that problem :-)

So why is MacOS better for "development" again?

> I doubt it, but this question also sounds like a way for me to trap myself, so I'm going to avoid it. ;)

Your professed concerns are over control. A compulsory licensing scheme strips away the ability for a rightsholder to choose who to license to or what price to license at. As a result, it would be impossible for the situation you fear - " private companies monopolizing the food supply" - to come to pass.

It seems like a neat solution to your worries. I'm asking if an actual policy that actually been used for other forms of actual IP would help.

It's a trap in the sense that offering a hammer to someone who needs to drive a nail is a trap.

> Limited production capacity is not the primary reason world hunger exists, so increased production capacity shouldn't be expected to fix it, right?

In total aggregate, production capacity is not the primary reason. Similarly, the world does not lack for water in total aggregate. Does that mean there is no such thing as a drought?

You're of course completely, totally, 100% right. It's not primarily a production problem. It's primarily a logistics problem. It just happens to be a logistics problem that can be addressed by addressing the production problem.

The funny thing about terminator genes is that they've never actually been used. No sane commercial farmer keeps their seeds anyway - it's much more reliable and profitable to just buy more.
Why wages? It seems backward to tie income to effort more so than the market wants to reward. How taxing it and distributing it as just transfer payments is making excuses for anti-social behaviour I have no idea. Do you want to see masses of people performing low or nil value tasks for forty hours a week? That's what unnecessarily tying income to jobs will lead to.
Wat? It's equational reasoning that lets us manipulate concrete code easily. REPLs are just proof that functional programmers like working concrete examples, too.

A World->World function is unconstrained in its effects upon the given world, modulo substructural types. But it is not a "side effect". Among other important differences, your program can't describe an infinite loop with observable effects on that World.

I don't consider type safety, list comprehensions, etc. to be essential for pure FP. Immutable values, first class functions, and explicit effects models on the call-return path (instead of side effects) are the critical ingredients. Comparing the essential IO problem to "type parameters" (which aren't even a problem for a rich ecosystem of dynamically typed OO) seems disingenuous.

Here's a decent summary of the numbers around US manufacturing output: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-manufacturing-dead-outpu...

I'd say the things around the house that say Made In China on them are largely things that simply didn't exist in the 70s. I'd like to find some kind of comparison to look into whether that intuition is correct, but whether it is or not, the numbers absolutely show US manufacturing is high and growing. It's manufacturing jobs that are disappearing, mostly due to automation.
I wonder if this would be useful to companies like Pixar and Weta Digital - I imagine a big speedup in frame rendering time or a reduction in number of build machines required would be worth lots of cash.

> But even these anemic numbers mask serious mismeasurement of manufacturing output. More than 110 percent of all real manufacturing growth during this period was driven by a single sector, computers and electrical components (NAICS 334), whose output has been shown by numerous academic studies to be seriously overstated as a result of the very rapid rate of progress in computer processing speeds. Because this one sector (NAICS 334) accounted for all the output growth from 2000 to 2009, the other 18 major manufacturing industries were as a group producing less at the end of 2009 than they were in 2000.

> What happened? How, in those early Internet years, did we get the future so wrong?

Sort of reminds me of some scientists concerns after inventing the atom/hydrogen bomb.... oops, what did we just do?

Yet I don't see or hear about any tech ethics groups. You know, a group of people that actually tries to determine whether some tech being considered/built will actually be good for society or not. From what I've read, the Amish have such a thing, ie, it's not that they're strictly anti-tech, but that they have community leaders that evaluate the pros/cons to their society before allowing its introduction.

I found it refreshing that there's movement around an AI group of this nature to try and ensure we don't hose ourselves with AI, but really, a broader tech ethics group should've already been on that as well.

Unfortunately it's much easier to just plow ahead and ignore such things in the hopes of being the next billionaire startup founder. Leave it to someone else to decide whether you're making things in our society/world better or worse.
