Certainly imperative-style also has its own advantages, and I'm not saying FP is better or anything.

You might be right about the tinkering view, and to be honest, I know that sometimes procedural thinking is a must-have ability that kids should posses.

But then again, programming is not just coding, and kids getting used to imperative-style would probably miss the whole point, which is finding challenge.

Anyway, you know how hard it is for a person who is used to imperative to get it out of his system and program functionally. I have found the other way around much easier. Just a thought.
I don't know about the word "visionary" or using it as some sort of self-descriptive label, but I do think it's important for the founders investing their time and effort into a startup to have a vision for what they're really trying to achieve and to dream big. That's obviously not sufficient for success, but I suspect that to some extent it is necessary, given the commitment that tends to be needed from founders and perhaps early employees and how difficult it can be to ride out the rough patches without some sort of goal you believe will be worth it in the end.
I've heard of startups, even those with more than one founder, taking out key person insurance for the company to mitigate this.

It's basically a life and disability insurance policy on the founder(s).
Clay Shirky's article "Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable" explains one reason; we are still in the middle of the greatest social and political disruption and revolution since the invention of the printing press.

So a board of military scientists think the US should give more money to military scientists.

While what he's doing is completely unethical, I don't know if I'd go so far as to say it's putting anyone at risk. Placing a call to an investment firm to short a stock shouldn't take so long as to delay the release of an advisory.

That being said I don't like what I'm seeing in some parts of the security community as of late. Security is becoming a misnomer as companies and groups are actively hoarding and selling vulnerabilities and making us all less safe.

Quick answer:

You could do a lot worse than parking it in an index fund, so yeah, that's a good approach :) If you have a 401(k) or other retirement account, it is quite common for those to offer an S&P 500 index fund where you could invest your money. If you want to do it in a taxable brokerage account, you should open an account with Vanguard and buy their Total Stock Market index fund (VTSMX, or VTSAX if you have more than $10,000 to invest).

Then stay the course - if the market tanks 50% the day after you put your money in, don't panic. Wait it out. Your investment horizon here is at the very least 10 years.

But that's the quick, the-best-time-to-invest-is-tomorrow-so-just-do-it answer.

There are a number of things you should do if you want to learn more about how to invest your money in stocks (and maybe bonds):

0) A good resource to get started quickly is If You Can, by William Bernstein:

https://smile.amazon.com/If-You-Can-Millennials-Slowly-ebook...

But you can skip it if you want to dive deeper with the stuff that follows.

1) Learn about what investing in the stock market means, what's the nature of it and what to expect from it. I have two recommendations here:

1.1) jlcollinsnh's Stock Series: http://jlcollinsnh.com/stock-series/ He recently released a book (The Simple Path to Wealth) which is supposedly a better-edited version of the Stock Series. He's a rather optimistic guy, but what he says is not wrong. He stays away from investing in non-US markets, which is not the most common position among indexers.

1.2) A Random Walk Down Wall Street, by Burton Malkiel. It's an amazing book that everyone should read if they want to learn about the stock market. Many people recommend Bogle's books (he's the father of index investing), but I find them incredibly tedious to read.

2) Learn about the different investment accounts available to you - 401(k)/403(b)/457(b)s, IRAs, HSAs, taxable brokerage accounts. Each one receives different tax treatment and you should be familiar with that in order to avoid "tax drag" i.e. taxes slowing down the growth of your investments.

3) Another resource I highly recommend is the Bogleheads wiki: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Main_Page. In particular, check out the following pages:

https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Bogleheads%C2%AE_investing_s...

https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund_portfolio

https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Tax-efficient_fund_placement

4) Don't obsess about it once you get started. After you've learned a few things it's tempting to start "tweaking" your investments here and there, but if you do that often you do yourself more harm than good. Invest your money then go have some fun :)

The study indicates that the primary sources of materials for bog body garments were domesticated animals, not the skins of wild animals slain in the hunt, correcting a misconception about Iron Age Germanic peoples that has lingered since Tacitus who wrote in Germania that they “wear the skins of wild beasts.”

I'm not sure what Farage wants apart from attention, it's been obvious for a number of years that political union was very unlikely and that the UK isn't going to join the Euro zone yet he continued to campaign.

My feeling is most of the brexit campaigners didn't like the EU because they saw it as left leaning, this is why the opposition mainly came from the right.
I've never understood why people paint companies making changes after negative publicity as such a scummy thing. Not all good changes can be thought of in advance. Making a change should not be viewed as scummy after negative feedback. In fact, not listening and adjusting is the worse move.
Realistically, most people barely get to multiple GPUs, let alone multiple machines. You're more likely to do hyperparameter tuning across machines before you do distributed training.
I don't think the article proves the point it claims to make (you don't need a founder), or disproves the message from YC: having a co-founder increases the likelihood that your startup will survive.

First of all, most startups fail when they are least funded, before they ever get past friends and family money. When you have close to zero money, mountains of work, and no traction or social proof, there's only one way to convince someone to do the important stuff that you can't do yourself, and that's by giving them a lot of equity. Founders: People satisfied with paper and an idea. (If you're already wealthy, sure, you can hire all the help you need. But that's not most people or most startups.)

The advice YC gives to co-found a startup with someone you can depend on addresses several early-stage startup problems: 1) Most people have severe limits to what they can do. Those limits come in terms of time and talent. Maybe they can code but they can't handle logistics or paperwork. Maybe they can sell an idea to investors and customers, but they can't build software. Startups require much more than one person can give. 2) Early-stage startups should be in a very active conversation with the world about what to build. The startup needs to be taking in a lot of information, reflecting on it deeply, and acting on it intelligently. With the right co-founder, you gather more information, think about it in ways you wouldn't have alone, and execute better and faster with the extra mind and hands.

To wrap this up, a brief list:

* Jobs and Wozniak

* Allen and Gates

* Page and Brin

* Hewlett and Packard

* Noyce and Moore

* Chesky, Gebbia and Blecharczyk

* Camp and Kalanick

IIRC the FBSD init is derived from NetBSD, though diverged since early 2000's. There's a FSBD project to integrate OpenRC, and it's pretty far along. I think the objective is to replace the current init system with the more modern and flexible one.

>Torque goes to whichever of the four wheels has the least grip.

That should be the tire with the most grip. If torque goes to the wheel where the tire on it has the least grip the tire still has no traction torque doesn't make grip appear out of nowhere.

In four-wheel or all-wheel drive one wheel where a tire has no grip the other three wheel with tire that have grip move the vehicle isn't that the entire point of 4WD and AWD?

They're a fund of funds but not an index of indexes. An index of indexes would be composed of indexes weighted by how much money is invested in each. Vanguard's LifeStrategy funds have fixed allocations to each underlying fund.
Is there evidence the EU has been expanding it's activities? Has it been creating more or less laws? Beyond the accession of new members. I'm asking because I really don't know the facts although I do know what some people who have me believe.
If they are fair and honest about this (not handing out 40 or 50 hours work and calling it 30), I think that 4 days * 8 hours per week would be pretty nice.

I did a 4 * 10 job one summer when I was a teen. It was REALLY nice to have Friday as "recovery" day before the real weekend started.

I'm not sure how my family would tolerate me being gone 4 * 10, though.
This person has clarified several times that English is not their first language and they're making a positive suggestion of how you can better target small startups yet you're endorsing the criticism of their use of a single word. Lost respect for Mattermost (and HN) from this whole thread.

Rule and norm are synonymous, IMHO. What is the difference? What makes a rule explicit? Do you mean laws? Law itself is often rather abstract, does that still count as explicit?

I think there are specific laws about fraud. In film they can claim artistic license, though.

The "top" idea is really murky because there's so many ways to define leading. I'll make a large bet that GE Digital will not be top at the following for developers due to so much inertia in IT and software in the company being cost-centric rather than innovation-centric:

- Pay / comp
- Perks
- Perceived difficult technical problems

They may win on number employeed (they just announced a big software development office in India) or perhaps when comparing these figures to competitors like Honeywell, Caterpillar, Phillips rather than the big, high value brand software companies.

This isn't to say that this means failure. Perhaps they can win on cultural perception (say, work-life balance) or career growth and capitalize upon a backlash against Silicon Valley engineer lifestyles. But everything I've seen about Predix from a customer and engineer perspective, which is what they're betting an awful lot on, is hardly compelling to me.

This article leaves out the people, and that makes it a weak rote-Libertarian rant. Very disappointing.

The politicians wouldn’t have power without local support. In San Francisco, the power is centered in individual neighborhoods. Especially when you take into account campaign contributions, community organizations, and voter turnout.

The article mentions Campos, Mar, and Peskin, all representatives of majority old, rich, white neighborhoods. When David Chiu left to go to the California Assembly and Ed Lee appointed the business-tolerant Julie Christensen in his place, Peskin managed to out-spend and out-organize her and returned to the Board of Supervisors.

On the other hand, Supervisor Tang represents a district with a lot of Asian families who are discovering that without new housing nearby, their grown children have to stay at home indefinitely or move far away. I’m not sure what motivates Scott Wiener; I don’t interact with his district much. So, there is diversity among the politicians, but the majority are propped up by narrow-minded local interests.
It's not that mathematics does not have its uses as a tool. However, there is a big difference between pragmatists like Lamport and Knuth, who used their mathematical knowledge in the service of engineering projects, like building their own text processing system, and dogmatists like Dijkstra, who relied on underlings to type up his handwritten papers so he would not have to sully his hands by touching an actual computer.

Granted, Dijkstra did make some contributions to CS, but he also caused immense damage to CS education by promoting his vision of CS as exclusively a branch of applied mathematics, instead of an engineering discipline employing mathematics as one of several tools. That mentality has led to much preaching about constructing programs using top-to-bottom formal methods, and very few useful programs constructed that way.
I would think it has some practical use as research in OISC (one-instruction set computing) processors, which are like the RISC model (do a smaller set of instructions so you can do them faster) on steroids.
It's an interesting concept to suggest an effective put option for the government, based perhaps on the auditable costs of successful R&D. But this would probably have to work both ways - also including a put option in favor of pharma for R&D that was unsuccessful. R&D spending would become more transparent as a result (inflated, perhaps, to try to hedge against the government intervening on a hugely profitable opportunity), but in any event still entirely recoupable. Different sort of risk/reward algorithm at play, but feasible.
You can stop worrying about branchless code and have it generated automatically! ;)

Very good writeup of fluid dynamics, I've been down Wikipedia crawls regarding Navier-Stokes but have never seen those equations applied like this in such a step-by-step manor.

It occurs to me however that we really don't have long-form ways of expressing the equations (especially in more than one dimension). The math can't be simplified, but I was still lost about a quarter of the way through the work even though I used to know partial derivatives quite well. The article requires something like 4 or 5 semesters of calculus to grok.

I think what makes math so hard to translate from written form to a mental map is that we’re still expressing it in sort of a write-only language like APL:

http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AplLanguage

I’m curious if anyone knows of any other way to express equations. For example:

* can variables be longer than a single letter without making equations too large to “see” at first glance?

* can all of the notation like the one for partial derivative be rewritten as ordinary functions?

* is there a way to “break up” long functions into shorter expressions (like sub-functions) without losing their relationships?

What I’m getting at is that people are able to visualize large, complex abstractions like SQL, OpenGL, matrices (barely), but not really statistics, probability, calculus, and so on. Have these other disciplines just not had time to be expressed in layman’s terms? I don’t buy that they are fundamentally more difficult than other disciplines. Just more.. esoteric. Thoughts?

The last time the rights were negotiated in 2013, they were $40B, with ESPN paying about double what NBC, CBS and Fox payed.

There is one company with the kind of money that might make sense -- Apple.

It would be a heck of a way for them to jumpstart a streaming service and make it only available on AppleTV.

Probably the biggest holdup would be the NFL itself, who makes sure those broadcast contracts reach the biggest number of people to keep their brand popular.

I think that, generally, in principle, we agree.

Where we disagree is in practice.

Doing nothing, or a little empty outrage is sweeping it under the rug, or "the approach thus far."

What I am talking about has a practical benefit beyond targeting the worst offenders, which again seems appropriate. Establishing a precedent for what is "too aggressive" frames the conversation going forward. Otherwise, your logic, "Obviously $300 is an acceptable price - so is $400? $500?," is valid. When human lives are at stake I don't think it is. So, establishing a precedent and thereby the beginning of a framework we move the conversation forward rather than just another lap on the rotary.

I also disagree that doing something is the same as doing nothing. I find that practically and logically false. Particularly, in the context of progress in a bureaucracy, it has been the modest incremental changes that have created the opening for larger reform.

AWD is meant for adverse conditions on a road and will probably help on a unpaved road. Think rain, ice, snow. It will keep you on the road.

4WD is meant for off road conditions. You get more torque so you'll be able to get over rocks and out of ditches. The downside is you shouldn't use it over 10mph or so.

I can't think of any recent car that is 4WD. It doesn't make sense since you'll probably never be "off road". Cars don't have proper ground clearance.
Companies like google, facebook and microsoft are forced to spend bajillions either finding their own bugs and fixing them or buying the bugs and fixing them.

Do Stock Market Trading Activities Forecast Recessions?
I think it's not all black and white, and there's actually a bit of both at play. Eurozone Countries now have no choice but to achieve increased levels of fiscal and political coordination. That process will inevitably produce friction, but this would have happened even without the currency. If anything, a heightened level of friction creates an urgency that would not otherwise be there.

If you are looking at it from a Brexit perspective, consider that shedding skeptic countries that never joined the Euro is a good thing in a federalist sense, since it makes it easier to achieve consensus in a smaller and more committed group.

In a way, losing Greece or Italy would have proven Friedman right, but the opposite happened: the Euro survived, Greece and Italy now are forced to drive their economy from a European perspective. De-facto political unity is happening, country by country.
