I'm also looking to learn a Lisp, maybe Clojure, maybe some scheme. Clojure for me has a big drawback (and also an advantage) to run in a highly complex system, at least as I perceive it, as I've never done anything in Java. What does one need to learn from Java world to program in Clojure?

I understand perfectly what you say about the hacks with procedural languages. There's why I'm going for a functional language soon.

Do you use a common SQL databse with Clojure or did you go the full route with Datomic?
Do you use Clojure for desktop apps? For mobile apps? Or just back-end stuff?

> if you were rich before the money will obviously keep coming back, as more people have the wealth to purchase your services

In a scenario where the original rich person was a landlord, factory owner or a farmer, the property progressively got taken away to cover the tax bills and either sold to a bunch of third parties or just taken over by a government agency, as those property auctions take a while to set up, find respective buyers and run.

The "services" thesis works for someone charging per engagement, like a doctor, as they can probably operate with relatively small overhead, but for a bunch of occupations the property that's responsible for building wealth is also the tool of building that wealth.

There's the slippery slope.

Severe dementia -> some dementia -> wrongthink -> dissidents.

Not saying I agree with it, as such, but that's the chain.
If leaving Friday and not seeing your coworkers again until Monday morning makes you think someone's an asshole, you've got a very skewed definition of asshole.

Being friends/social with coworkers should be an opt-in experience, not mandatory for your employees. People have lives.

There is no reason you shouldn't be happy in the
company of the people you're around the majority
of your day.

I hope to god I never spend the majority of my day in the office ever again. Work is 8 hours for me, and I love it. I'll put in overtime when I need to, I don't mind. But I get 10 hours a day of not being at work while also awake, part of it in the middle of the day at lunch. I'm friends with several of my coworkers (to varying degrees of closeness), but we're all adults, most have families, and most have hobbies or other goals. We've got bodybuilders (including a former olympian), and other athletes. We've got artists. We've got gamers. We've got homebodies. We've got authors.

If work=life is the only way to fit into your office, it had better be doing something life changing to justify that demand from your employees. Otherwise, you're stealing their precious time. The one thing we can never get back.
I would not say oil is makes us "lucky".

Most industries not related to oil in some way is basically at a standstill, because oil exports are driving the NOK and thus making our other exports expensive.

Also, the oil companies can outbid just about anyone else for employees.

The recent oil price drop has been a boon for many companies that was desperate from engineers etc. Now they can take on projects that were on ice because they didn't have the staff and such.
Do you mean .tk? AFAIK .info costs money.
That will be a good first step. As well as better automated parking features.
There are two types of red flags that can come out of frequent job changes:

1. Several <1 year tenures - this person gets fired a lot

2. Exclusively 1-2 year tenures - This person is trying to jump around to maximize salary (and isn't able to convince their current employer to match/exceed an offer)

For #1 job history is usually not the only indication that this will be a problem. Depending on how many open positions you have they might make a screen, with the vast majority washing out there. "It was contract work" is usually a flag, and being at startups that went under is a mitigating factor.

#2 is somewhat more risky as a hiring manager - more expensive to interview because they are less likely to flame out early in the process, but then much more likely to not be able to agree on an acceptable offer. Overall these folks are still going to be net positive contributors over their tenure, but there is opportunity cost in missing out on hiring someone who would kick ass over 5+ years at your company. It's hard to definitively pin someone down as this category outside of 4+ jobs never going more than 2 years. If they are coming through a recruiter that's a flag, and if they have moved cities that's somewhat of a mitigating factor.

Seeing someone who stayed at the same company for 4+ years and got one or more promotions there is a big plus on resumes.

There is not a lot of research into any of this stuff AFAIK, so this is basically all just my opinion. What I have seen basically says that people are pretty bad and inconsistent at evaluating resumes:

The differences between businesses and public are not at all clear.

Can you show the calculation where subsidies to food are greater than the cost of regulation of food?

Sugar is particularly regulated, with the government strict quotas and tariffs on imports, and domestic allotments to produces. If you produce more than your allotment, it is illegal to sell in the US. The whole scheme is to hold prices high to support famers (agribusiness really), not low.
If companies staying in business was related in any way to what they "deserve", plenty of large companies would be out of business.
Now I am really mixed up. How else would an independent ISP get to "the internet at large"? Isn't that what a peering agreement is all about at an IXP?

I wouldn't touch XMPP with a 10' pole even on desktop PCs. That's considering the fact that parsing XML is at least two orders of magnitude faster on PC than anything else, simply because of larger CPU caches.

XML has to be the heaviest data format I know of to parse for CPUs, and the most cumbersome to read for humans. Its the worst of both worlds.

Its not because we bloated our desktop PCs and our mobile phones' software that we need to do the same for IoT devices.

The purpose of Let's Encrypt, and the SSL certificate infrastructure in general, isn't to prevent "bad guys" from getting certificates. It's to ensure that if you own the box, the certificate verifies that a web client is speaking directly to that box with nothing in between. (Or more generally, directly to an authorized end point by the owner of that DNS entry. Authority can be delegated.)

In other words, it keeps bad guys out of the middle, not the end point. That's all SSL can do, even if it works perfectly. Bad guys will still own end points, in both the conventional sense of the word own and the pwning sense of the word own. SSL can not (directly) do much about that. If you speak SSL to a bad actor, well, there aren't any other actors between you and the bad actor, but you're still speaking on an encrypted, authenticated channel to a bad actor.

This is in contrast to the DNS infrastructure in which it is sensible for a TLD owner to attempt to prevent "people they don't want on their TLD" (more generally than "bad guys" since a lot of the restrictions enforced are far beyond that).

Maybe if they had some allegiance to or belief in Github fixing the issue, talking to employee, retraining them, it might be worth. But when there is another project that is just as easy to use, it often just easier to drop it and switch.

Also that interaction with Github, can be interpreted as a pointer to larger systemic issue (for better or for worse) which the customer doesn't believe will be solved with a simple email.

Well, in the first place, contrast the staccato proclamation of the tweet with the article leading up to that tweet. Twitter is a terrible way to try to communicate anything that needs explanation.

In the second place, Austin and especially SF do have locals with well-known and even organized hostility towards newcomers.

I had a similar experience. A series of completely incompetent deliveries from OnTrac.

It was so bad that I contacted support and told them if I would rather not be able to order something than to order it and have OnTrac touch it.

I can only assume they marked my account as fussy-about-delivery because I haven't had any issues since then.

The FDIC only insures accounts to a certain amount. So, yeah, I suppose they kinda do this. But it's a known risk and the reason that you, as a consumer, don't keep values beyond the FDIC insured limits in any one bank.

Deep Leaf Audio did a really excellent audiobook version of The Illuminatus Trilogy that adds some layers on top of the book itself. I usually don't bother with audiobooks -- it's slower and more effort than reading -- but with that particular book it's worthwhile.
Yeah this is confusing. The domains appear to belong to Google, but then the apps are listed under "Hello Network, Inc.". The overall language and design seem to be a bit unpolished for a Google product too.
Most programmers would have known this a few years ago. Programmers today don't. So, it is a lost art.
Chrome already has the ability to de-trust things trusted at the OS level, FWIW. It might be interesting to see how many OEM-installed certificates they could de-trust by default.
A step closer to the Sandbenders computer from William Gibson's "Idoru":

...he used to tear up her hardware, the designer's, and put the real parts into cases he'd make in his shop. Say he'd make a solid bronze case for a minidisk unit, ebony inlays, carve the control surfaces out of fossil ivory, turquoise, rock crystal. It weighed more, sure, but it turned out a lot of people liked that, like they had their music or their memory, whatever, in something that felt like it was there... And people liked touching all that stuff: metal, a smooth stone... And once you had the case, when the manufacturer brought out a new model, well, if the electronics were any better, you just pulled the old ones out and put the new ones in your case. So you still had the same object, just with better functions.

Gradient descent is neither complex nor ugly, it's the most immediate and straightforward way of searching for extrema. Iterative methods in general might be your only shot if the problem is not linear and linearisation is not an option. From a practical point of view, iterative methods in general allow you to terminate on your own terms, whereas many direct methods don't have a useful representation at hand to return prematurely.
Like Ubuntu or not, they went on record saying that they had consulted with legal counsel who was heavily involved with open source and that they signed off.

This is Linux's legacy. Rejecting already solved problems only to try reinvent the wheel their way and often their wheel is broken and horribly engineered if engineered at all. See btrfs v zfs, kqueue vs their current poll of the month method, dtrace vs system tap, the list goes on a mile long.

It's so frustrating to watch this. To see all these projects being developed on Linux where it's easier for others to simply reimplement the idea from scratch than try and remove all the Linux only code from them.

The Linux world only thinks about itself. In a spectacularly selfish way.
> The worst that you will get is padding at the end of the structure so that if two or more of them are arrayed, the first member is correctly aligned at all the array indices.

This is not guaranteed. If you want to ensure all array member starting addresses are aligned for all compilers and platforms you need to add explicit dead space. You should also be using the fixed-width numeric types.

Automated Binary System REVIEW THE TRUTH
The long commute for those who can't afford the center is not actually a law of nature. Better infrastructure gives better results.

For example, you can get to midtown manhattan in half an hour on NJTransit from East Orange, NJ, a very cheap place to live. The NYC metro area is chock full of affordable neighborhoods where the tradeoff is merely having a commute, not a LOOONG commute.

Ideally, you have your infrastructure scale as the city grows, to maintain constant commute times for workers even as they move further out.
Slate JS - a customizable framework for building rich text editors
My average is roughly 1 year at every position with the maximum being nearly 2 years.

I prefer working in startups and smaller businesses rather than a bank or government entity. In the startup world I found 1-2 year stints don't seem like a bad thing. In the conservative banking world it could be.
It depends if the candidate is applying or you're sourcing her. I generally don't skip based on the very last job, because even if it's 3mo there may be a reason that is worth investigating in an info interview.

But in general, I skip if the pattern seems to be hopping every year in the last 2-3 years.

Another thing that I look at is where geographically the candidate was working. If I see no hopping for a while, then moved to Silicon Valley and started hopping every year, then I pass, or at least I yellow flag that in the pipeline.

I don't have any issue with several years in just a company, actually I think it's rare and very positive.
> Only if a workplace chooses to enforce a particular style.

No, the actual work style practiced in the workplace is an element of workplace culture whether or not a uniform style is enforced (whether or not a uniform style is enforced is, itself, an element of the workplace culture.)
Best i recall, the by the time the concept was formulated, the condition for its existence was already on the way out of US society. At its core, it was reliant on the ability for anything to travel somewhere, build a house, farm the land, and then claim it as their own after a few years.

This in contrast to the situation in Europe for the same time period, where most farmers rented the land they worked, and paid either in produce or by assisting the landowner during harvest etc.

Bret Victor – The Humane Representation of Thought
I think there are 2 factors.
1) Do LE do a good job of ensuring that they only grant certificates to domain holders.
2) Do they do a good job of representing what they're signing (authentication versus identification http://imgur.com/a/fAaYH)

The certificate is a kind of "encryption only" certificate, it's treated as a second class citizen (you might get a grey lock for example) so it's encrypting the communication but it's not very useful for convincing you that you're talking to your bank when you aren't.

Of course if LE don't do a good job of (1) then we're f*ed because they'll issue certificates to bad actors and LE have a hard job because now they're trusted they're a good target for DNS cache poisoning etc.
Show HN: Declarative Python Interfaces
Many, many, very smart people have worked on exactly this problem and the result is a large, somewhat disjoint, family of techniques for forming/applying approximate inverses in subquadratic time for delicate families of matrices (e.g., discretizations of elliptic partial differential equations).

Keep in mind that many linear systems can be solved in near linear time despite the inverse being dense.
Very good questions and I like what you're sorting out, implication wise! I think in the first scenario, yes, every photo I take myself and post to my own accounts should have a small caption or watermark that lists my sponsors. Ernie Ball, the Guitar brand, whatever - I think it's genuinely a point of pride to be endorsed, and it's a goal for a lot of serious players. Getting a band or player's name on the back of a pack of Ernie Ball strings, to me, would be an achievement I would proudly acknowledge.

The second scenario is one that again I'd draw the line at my own accounts. If I like the brand and they give them to me for free, then I'll disclose it because, well, it's a sponsorship by them. The "would've bought it anyway" kind of feels like a rationalization to me. A lot of things I like I can't afford, so posturing it as such wouldn't be honest in my book.

I think an analogy might be like how NASCAR drivers have a ton of sponsor patches on their racing uniforms.

So, Jeff Gordon for instance - if he makes an IG post where he's changing the oil in his personal car, not wearing his racing outfit, but acting like "Just a normal dude like you!" and prominently holding a quart of Valvoline, I think that should get a tag because it's a grey area. Not everybody knows his race team and his career is sponsored by Valvoline, but if he shows that his sponsorship extends to his "personal life" then yeah, put the tag on there.

I'll definitely agree that the imperfect system / blurry distinctions take some discussion, but I'm glad to have a chance to hash this kind of logic out.
So had they insisted in the same destructive policies you wouldn't consider it a coup?

* One issue is that this information is sensitive for many, and begs the question why do you require it.

* Even if it’s not that sensitive for me, I still don’t get why are you asking. Are you planning to pivot into a dating app later?

* I personally know quite a few persons whose legally determined[1] sex may well differ from how they’d describe themselves for the purposes of, say, dating. Are you intending to compare this information with my gov records in future for ID verification purposes later? The straightforward binary selector kind of hints at it.

* Could it be that you just went with the cargo cult—didn’t really think about whether you need it or not and decided to collect as much info as used to be perceived acceptable just in case?

[0] Most popular ones like Twitter and Facebook, of course, are not among those.

That's only 1 of 3 pieces of data. If they only used the one you mention, then you wouldn't get the red/blue divide, you'd instead get a small/large state divide.

What this study does to get the red/blue divide dividing federal revenues by state revenues. So low tax, low spending states look bad because the Federal inflow is a bigger percentage of total spending.
How does taxing one fewer aspects of something make it a "double tax"? It's not a "half-tax" either, but at least that would make more sense, unless I'm missing something.
