This reminds me of the woman who was teaching her daughter to cook a pot roast the way she remembered her mom doing it. You take the meat, cut off four inches from one end and throw that away, put the rest in the pan in the oven at 350 for 3 hours. One holiday when the daughter was hosting grandma came over early to help and saw her cutting the end off the pot roast. She asked why and the daughter said that was how her mom said she did it. "Oh child, I only did that because our pan was too small!"
> Hint: the case was named "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission". What does that tell you about who the plaintiff was?

Very little, actually, because Supreme Court case title orders don't tell you who the plaintiff vs. defendant is, they tell you who filed the appeal from the case below. (However, it does tell you that Hillary Clinton wasn't the plaintiff, since she is neither "Citizens United" nor the "Federal Election Commission".)

However, in this case, the plaintiff below was the appellant, so...

Nice clothes and a nice car indicate financial wellbeing, which is a desirable characteristic in a mate.

Why demonstrate success on a date? What do you think the purpose of a date is? It's a courtship ritual where you try to demonstrate your reproductive value to a potential mate. There are many components to this; appearance, wealth, personality, etc.

I think you have this mixed up; a prostitute is precisely the person you don't need to indicate your value to. You just pay them.

I would say the $100 fee even helped the iOS app store. It sets the floor so that I as a user knows that this app most likely isn't spam. And you need an OSX machine because it's compiled and signed by XCode. I know a few developers that held out because of the Xcode requirement (cough, VLC) but eventually even they realised Apple had no reason to change and either the foundation was going to release or someone else.

The 1996 Atlanta Olympics deliberately built all the athlete housing right next to Georgia Tech's other dorms with exactly this this in mind. Then, in 2007, Georgia Tech had some great new dorms that they would've needed to build anyway.

Mind you, from 1996 to 2006, they put Georgia State students in the dorms and bussed them to and from Georgia State, which didn't make a lick of sense, but I give Atlanta's government a lot of credit for very nearly doing something right.

It might be better for their bottom line (I haven't thought about it much, but it makes sense that it would be, so I'll just go with that), but that doesn't mean it isn't also better for the web and users. Same thing with Facebook Instant Articles. I now find myself, as a user, vastly preferring these sites on mobile, because they are far less likely to hang or hijack my browser.
I often wonder if anyone who believe that the freedom to sell your goods and services is a bad thing can be rationalized with. Where do you even start with someone who disagrees with free trade?

When I tried out Google Drive, syncing was actually incredibly poor.

It still is, it doesn't sync chunks, but only full files. Moreover, it does not have LAN (peer to peer) sync, which Dropbox does have.

Dropbox's web UI was also far better than Google Drive's. When you select multiple files to download on Dropbox's website, it starts instantly. Google Drive makes you wait

And Dropbox has basic functionality like getting an overview of shared folders/files, which is for some unfathomable reason not possible in Google Drive (instead you have to rely on 3rd party scripts that scan all files).

My question therefore is, what are those skills exactly ?

Assuming you are running on well-maintained hardware (your brain), I don't think there's any set limitation to how well your intellect will function after a long period of time.

We forget. A lot. As a normal course of thinking. And that's OK.

Old habits (good and bad) do die, with a bit of effort, if they aren't being constantly reinforced. If you make it a point to continually refine and improve how you think (trying to disabuse yourself of invalid ideas), then you are setting yourself up for a better future.

If you use gnupg 2.0.x, you can set "keyid-format long" in your gpg.conf to get 64-bit key IDs (instead of the classic 32-bit ones). Not really good enough, but a reasonably effective short-term stop-gap measure. IMHO.
The thing is, for the majority of deployments out there, developers don't even know what is the CAP theorem, nor do they need the theoretical performance NoSQL databases have over default configured RDBMS.

This presupposes that change is bad. In many (most?) codebases, the change in style is good.

Sure, such a thing can be good, as in, it's a good trade off. Pulling a tooth can be good in this sense, as it's better than getting further infections from an abscess. But here's the thing about trade-offs -- really you want to avoid having to make them in the first place. (Dental hygiene.)

I'm working in a C++ code base right now. It's like an archaeological dig, with each "layer" corresponding to a major revision of C++ style. It's "good" that parts of the codebase are more modern, but the price for this is the cognitive load of language mode switching. (And occasionally, memory management conundrums.)
If this works at all, it's likely to work to well, in that news outlets will tend to suppress stories because they mention suffering. Some of those stories are actually important. There's probably no easy solution; balanced news is probably not a stable equilibrium.
I learned everything I need to know about optimism from Hope: A Tragedy by Shalom Auslander when it explains why optimists are dangerous.

---

Optimist, said Professor Jove. Hitler was the most unabashed doe-eyed optimist of the last hundred years. That’s why he was the biggest monster. Have you ever heard of anything as outrageously hopeful as the Final Solution? Not just that there could be a solution — to anything, mind you, while we have yet to cure the common cold — but a final one, no less! Full of hope, the Führer was. A dreamer! A romantic, even, yes? If I just kill this one, gas that one, everything will be okay. I tell you this with absolute certainty: every morning, Adolf Hitler woke up, made himself a cup of coffee, and asked himself how to make the world a better place. We all know his answer, but the answer isn’t nearly as important as the question. The only thing more naively hopeful than the Final Solution is the ludicrous dictum to which it gave birth: Never Again. How many times since Never Again has it happened again? Three? Four? That we know of, mind you. Mao? Optimist. Stalin? Optimist. Pol Pot? Optimist. Here’s a good rule for life, Kugel, no matter where you happen to live or when you happen to be born: when someone rises up and promises that things are going to be better, run. Hide. Pessimists don’t build gas chambers.
I don't buy that. If the iPhone was 'just an improved iPod' at release, reception wouldn't have been as mixed as it was ('brilliant' vs 'flop')

The iPhone was a small battery powered box you can hold in your hand and it could play music, just like the iPod, but at the time the iPhone debuted, that's about where the similarities ended.

Also, because of its price ($500 plus a two-year contract) the iPhone targeted a different audience.

Sure, but I've never been convinced consistency matters at that scale. I think it's enough to be locally consistent

In C++, it can result in the occasional memory management paradox to work through. (In addition to the background cognitive load for watching out for such.)

> My understanding is that states can only compel companies to collect taxes up front when they have a physical presence in the state of the consumer.

This used to be true (in fact, from what I understand, it's why Bezos chose Washington as his HQ, although the details are escaping me - did WA not have a sales tax in the early 90s?). However, a few years ago, this changed to having a "nexus", which is a more vague definition that takes into account amount of business done in the state.
Sorry... your logic is flawed at least semantically. If a "constitutional monarchy is just one way of implementing a monarchy," then presumably a "Constitutional Republic is just one way of implementing a" republic.

The only nexus between republic and democracy in this case would be the Constitutional Republican Guarantee clause. Since that has essentially never been adjudicated we can't know for certain whether - at least in Constitutional terms - a Republic does convey democratic rights.
You've made an excellent argument for outsourcing your entire meal prep and having food delivered to your house (or paying someone to shop for you) and having someone cook it for you.

The "I make $___ an hour" claim only holds weight if your alternative to whatever activity would be to actually charge money for that time. Presumably you're going to make your own dinner most of the time so your hourly rate at work is largely irrelevant.
Encouraging consistency across the language ecosystem doesn't have to conflict with layering. The problem with having what are properly library routines in the language core syntax is that it's a layering violation: it makes the language more complex, harder to reason about, and harder to learn because it creates special cases in the grammar and core semantics. (For example, note the inconsistent behavior of indexing a nil map vs. indexing a nil slice.)

The way to discourage people from "changing everything" is to make the standard library ubiquitous and to use encapsulation to prevent people from changing its internals. If Go had generic maps in the standard library, and you couldn't get access to their internals, then the effect would be exactly the same as the built-in map that Go has today. You see this in other languages: very few people create custom dictionaries in C#, for example.
They gutted a pretty rough area south of campus and built a lot of new housing for the athlete village. For a while, both Georgia Tech and Georgia State used those buildings as dorms but Georgia State built their own closer to campus and now it's all Georgia Tech property.

A lot of the Tech fraternity houses were rented out to media companies and got renovated.

Tech did get a lot of use out of the aquatic center and it gets used for many NCAA events.

They did finally defuel the Neely nuclear research reactor on campus before the games. I'd wondered how they were going to house athletes next to an experimental reactor.

Nothing can excuse that mascot though.

For what purpose? I consider human like robots a publicity stunt that will never catch on. (sex is probably the exception that proves my rule). I don't have any interest in a human like robot. Robots need to serve a purpose.

I want a robot to do my laundry, vacuum (current offerings leave much to be desired), dishes - in short a domestic servant. I can branch out to yard work, driving... Human realistic isn't of interest, I want the jobs done, and that is where the market it.

I can see pets catching on - but even bipedal pets have significant differences from human like. Passing the truing test is a negative - I want to feel superior to my pets.

Of course your story is about available on the market. That is different from a market success. I can see them in 20-40 years, but just like the pet rock they are a fad that comes and then ends up in the dump.

The above is points to ponder. You are writing fiction. You can reject any as you see fit. If you think I'm wrong about anything you need to consider if your readers will fail to suspend disbelief if you don't explain why I'm wrong. Or maybe I'm right and that lack of demand can be spun to fill the plot hole of why the robots take over. There are endless possibilities. Your universe, your choices: good luck.

Why are the charts that old? (2011, 2012) With newer charts from 2015/2016, it's clearly visible that Microsoft lost the mobile war, with less than 1% market share. Not that grim, but bad as well is the XBoxOne marketshare compared to the allmighty PS4. And the Win10 marketshare is half of what Microsoft expected one year after launch, almost another Vista - from a consumer perspective the privacy leak makes it worse than Win8 and Vista combined, but that's another story some will say - well the users aren't dumb, they choose the better alternatives every day, and Microsoft looses marketshare. Think about it.
Do we need to have this conversation every time?

They absolutely do represent you.

What do you think the representatives doing when they're trying to fuel up the corporations in your district? They're representing your interests by making sure that the jobs stay where they are, just not the interest of the American people.

The senators represent the state's interest, the representatives represent the district's interest.
The web of foundational skills for software development is vast enough that you can't really build it out from the bottom up.

Just have money bro! So obvious!
I think based on what the post was saying that an optimistic attitude doesn't necessarily equate to ignoring reality. To me, the post was more about opinion and self-esteem than facts about a project. It sounds like whatever things have crashed and burned around you in your career were led by people who superimposed their self-esteem onto fact-based decisions.

Indeed. Debugging them is painful at the moment. I'm using Apex to deploy a few and running "apex logs" gets me all recent logs, but that's pretty far from being actually debugging.

Accusing someone of being "shallow" because they have evolutionarily sensible sexual preferences is incredibly puerile. Any evolutionarily rational person would place substantial value on a partner who can provide for themselves and their offspring.
Note that I'm responding to a specific comment that implies being happy is extremely difficult. Those two things are in my book of "extremely difficult", and I'm bringing them up as examples of the fact that goals are not choices. You can choose to train, but you can't choose to become an Olympian. But I can't figure out if you agree or disagree with happiness being extremely difficult to achieve.

> It really is that simple, it requires commitment and self-policing to a great degree but in the end anyone can do it.

I don't think I can make sense of this statement... if something has many requirements, and something to a great degree, how can you say that it is merely a choice, and that anyone can do it? Again, a choice is a decision, not a goal. There's no difference between "I'll try really hard to be happy" or "I'll try really hard to be an Olympian", they're both goals with no guarantees that you can fail at. What is great? The average person, by definition, is not great. So why are you saying anyone can do it, in the end, that anyone can be great? Simplicity is not relevant here. Winning a race is simple - just run faster than everyone else.

This seems to be along the lines of losing weight. It's simple, but so many people fail at it. If people, in large numbers, greater than average, fail at doing something universality perceived as good, I posit that that means it's not available to most people for whatever reason, because nobody in their right mind would choose a bad outcome for themselves.

If your interest is in making a large proportion of people happy, rather than making a few chosen individuals happy, it's a more interesting question as to why so many people "choose" to not be happy or some other universally positive thing. I'd say the word "choice" is being horribly misused. People struggle and fail, that's what's happening.

What made you decide that changing how you think is simple, easy, and readily available?

I can't tell whether you're arguing (a) that people who originated whatever C++ codebase you're working on should have had better foresight or (b) nobody should have even tried migrating to a more modern style. I think both (a) and (b) are untenable: (a) is equivalent to "people shouldn't make mistakes"—i.e. directly at odds with the real world—and (b) is a recipe for stagnation.
Not everyone thinks Neato is better. I tried both, and the Neato got stuck every time in certain areas of my home so that it was totally unusable. The Roomba, although it has issues in other areas of the house, at least works pretty well. Also, despite the Roomba's "chaotic" approach to navigating, it works. The Wirecutter, for example, thinks it's a better navigation system, and if you look at a light painting done with a Roomba you can see it covers an area pretty well: http://lightpaintingphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/...

Finally, I have an older model, but the new Roomba 980 includes a camera so they are working on new navigation tech, albeit slowly and at crazy high prices.

I can tell you type polymorphism is not a mistake.

It's a particular trade-off. Some opine that it's not the right trade off. You disagree.

Complicated architectures full of abstraction are a mistake, which you can limit without sacrificing the ability for me to make a type-safe generic function.

From what I've seen, the other mechanisms for limiting over-exuberant abstraction don't work well enough over the long term, at scale.

The 5.5 version of the Borland C++ compiler was free for quite a while (after they went on to higher versions). Not sure of current status. A web search may find it.

I've built (as in compiled from source, I don't mean written, in this case) some products that had BCC as a compiler that could be used, instead of VC++. E.g. wxPython, IIRC.

Edit: A google search for "free borland c++ compiler" shows some hits. Need to check them out.
