We can explain mathematical intuition. We just can't explain it as quickly or in as interesting way as you seem to want.

Here's a simple concept: all polynomials with coefficients in a number system (field) have a solution (possibly in a larger field).

Do you know how hard it is to convey what exactly this means and what the consequences are? I like Lockhart's essay. It resonates with me. However, I don't see his ideas being useful in terms of learning advanced topics. At some point one has to get their hands dirty and slog through the material. Intuition will come with experience.
I think that is a valid point.

My take is that both parties are both conservative by your definition... The majority of the policy objectives have to do with strengthening established interests and established money flows, and keeping established winners on top.

I also think both parties have a similar fondness for authoritarianism that you ascribe to conservatives.

On social issues there are bigger differences, but ultimately not many that would actually become law. When you filter the two parties alleged ideals and remove the things that would never become law, there is not much difference at all.

For instance, both parties strongly support the US foreign military intervention (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc.) and massive public/private partnerships for the financial services industry and healthcare industry. These industries (defense, financial services, healthcare) make up the majority of campaign contributions to both parties.
Exactly. At a "all hands meeting" of the IT staff of large food manufacturer (top 5 globally), I asked if there was room for developing our own solutions sometimes (since we complained so much about our current tools and the lack of alternatives). I got an angry response from the CTO and later discovered people were laughing about my proposal (either because I must be stupid or because I was certaintly joking, in their view).

I wasn't talking about writing our own ERP, my area was server infrastructure and there was tons of automation we could be creating, but instead the general strategy was to buy off-the-shelf tools and pay to be cheated on by IT consultants.

The almost complete inability of the IT area to take ownership of its own fate made me leave 6 months later. "Nobody gets fired by choosing IBM" syndrome in full effect.

If you have anything, including diagnostic information, that depends on the source IP being correct, you're doing it wrong.
1) Start interviewing for something better immediately. It might be a while before something catches, but for many people, interviewing is a skill that doesn't come naturally and can only be improved by practice. Your salary is ridiculously low; there should be no reason for you to have any loyalty to your current employer.

2) There's still plenty to learn in an awful, underpaid job. First off, of course, practicing and honing your skills. Writing the best code you can within real-world time constraints. Reading other people's code and understanding a legacy code base.

Then there's logistical and interpersonal stuff. Working on a real-world team, and how it uses an issue tracker, version control, etc. Getting code review and learning to give good code review. Office politics.

In an office that's underpaying you that much, it's quite likely that a lot of things are insanely dysfunctional. That's OK! All offices are dysfunctional in one way or another. Learning to work around it is a good thing.

Just make sure that whatever the environment is around you, and as difficult as the people are to get along with, you're still being excellent to them. And try not to pick up really bad technical habits -- when you move on to the next thing, be as open as you can to learning better ways of doing things.

3) Go to tech meetups and network. You want to meet both senior engineers and people in engineering management positions. The former are great for networking and mentorship (and often refer people they know to others who are hiring); the latter are constantly hiring, especially those whose companies are in expansion modes.

4) Ask your senior engineering mentors to do mock interviews with you and help you understand where you might be running into problems with both technical and non-technical rounds.

5) Research which startups raised a major funding round 1-12 months ago. They're usually the ones in expansion mode. They're typically looking for oodles of junior engineers to place under the leadership of a smaller number of senior engineers.

6) Find yourself a recruiter. They've got clients desperately begging for javascript engineers (as I can attest, having recently been in the market to hire a front-end engineer), and it's in their interest to get you the highest-paying job you're anywhere near qualified for. The better ones may also be willing to help you practice non-technical interviews and offer feedback. Because it makes it easier for them to sell a client on you.

Yes, some recruiters are the scum of the earth, but there are also a lot of decent ones and a handful of great ones. If you've got a bit of skill and a non-toxic personality, even the halfway decent ones will find you a much better deal than you're currently getting.

(Just make sure that it's also a fit for you - obvious you want a salary around market rate, but don't let the recruiter shoehorn you into a high-paying position where you'll be miserable because of culture or other reasons.)

7) Practice negotiating!
Considering how much of a disaster Trump and his campaign has been, this is still pretty underwhelming that he was close to matching her 50-50 as much as 1-2 weeks ago.
There are essentially four scenarios - you make the "safe" choice and succeed, and you're smart - if you fail, well, you can't be blamed, the safe choice is conventional wisdom.

You make the risky/bold/nonconventional choice and succeed, and you're lucky - fail, well, you're an idiot who should've seen it coming.
That is perfect. He probably didn't even have to try that hard. Lmao.
This comment seems to assume you think Russia was responsible for the hacks/leaks... ?
Interesting that you make the comparison to operating systems, since Linux is open and completely free and doesn't have a big company behind it. (Granted, I think the big difference is that Linux doesn't have as many competitors as exist for DBs today.)
I think service is crucial. Although there are plenty of strong open source projects out there, that have large communities, they really aren't businesses. I mean, you don't see the PSF trying to sell you some proprietary stuff.
Because we're in that cycle of history now.

It's more pejorative for the same reason that "White Pride" has negative connotations in today's society while "Black Pride", "Asian Pride", "Gay Pride" have positive.

Hate it or love it, it is what it is.

I got it from both living in California and Miami, where many people used it that way, girls as well. For me it was a bit strange at first, but got used to it. I guess it might be some local urban stuff leaking nationwide?
> HRM doesn't have the devastating difficulty that makes the Zachtronics game what it is

This is true, I should mention I spent probably 2-3 hours and completed the game and most side optimizations. Definitely a solid buy for $5-10 though.

>As for Factorio, that actually bares a stronger resembalance to modded Minecraft, particularly the classic BC/IC2 combination, with a hint of other tech mods here and there.

It reeks strongly of very abstract programming notions. Routing "data", whether to use static typing (inserters) or dynamic typing (smart inserters), inlining production vs modularizing production for more complex recipes. You do have to dig a bit deeper though!
You might be interested in http://vindinium.org It has a REST api so it doesn't matter what language you write your bot in.
Hmm. Not sure I understand this. How would this information be presented to the user? And would the computer somehow assume I've read all comments currently present on the page / in the current comment chain?
I believe the thinking was that rethinkdb would always sit behind an API, and if you think about it, its not a bad assumption.
RethinkDB's niche is allowing a service to listen for changes to a dataset. As in, your Node application could listen for published events by Rethink, rather than your Node application long-polling the dataset for changes. "Real Time" data analytics can then be performed.

>Because let's face it, masochism is what programming is about.

True, but Zach is good at pulling out a simple representative subset for each game. There's no arcane syntax for using registers vs IO in TIS-100 for example. It's just another dest/source that works with MOV. Then he adds something outlandish and gamey like adjacent core communication. I've played some other attempts at the programming masochism genre and they struck me as fiddly attempts to cram complexity into the instructions vs the problem.
Well if that's true I give up. It's indeed a cheap price. Instead of alimony the term "grant" or "transition backing" would be the better fitting word.

Still. Morality is often on bad terms with money. If you want to talk with people about principles they often become fundamental money-wise.
And, depending on your transit agreements you may have to pay for all that incoming bandwidth.
The Overton window though is about what's acceptable in public discourse.
I think the comment makes sense on its own, as it is a response not specifically about the specific recent accusations, but about the trends in both American and Russian cyberproliferation.

I don't think the comment assumes that Russia was responsible for these specific hacks/leaks. I think it makes sense either way.
> The idea that you can't allow cameras because actual realistic video footage would be deceiving speaks of the delusion that exists in the food industry - "family farms" included.

How so?

> A reality where animals can regularly accidentaly kill their own offspring as a circumstance of how they are being kept is crazy and the idea that their movement should be restricted even more is truly insane.

There's nothing insane about this claim. This is a well-documented problem.
So they open sourced, a client ? who cares?

This is data capitalism. In ordinary capitalism the rich get richer, and in data capitalism those who have data, build superior products, get more users and thus more data, while others starve. Good datasets can be bought but it is scary in its own way.
That doesn't work for me. It just brings up a web search.
Architecturally for sure. But, the true feeling of any transportation hub includes the people buzzing through. At least modern-day ones :)

I'm sure things were much slower paced back then however. Perhaps it was an entirely different experience!
They've got a forest in the middle of the airport, and eateries that are certainly better than most North American airports.
That's because community in the real world is hard. It shouldn't be, but it is.

Cowering away from that difficulty isn't something to be proud of. Isolating yourself in a shell of people who agree with you isn't the right way to go about making dreams come true or enacting social change, which we badly need.

If you want a community in your life, go build one. Don't sit around telling us all how awesome it is to be a part of one that was pre-built and probably won't exist tomorrow.
Interesting phrasing under the license section:

>Texture is open source, and you are legally free to use it commercially. If you are using Texture to make profit, we expect that you help fund its development and maintenance.

My first read through, I thought it was making a free as in beer/speech distinction for commercial use, but looking at the actual license on github, that doesn't appear to be the case. I think the second sentence is perhaps more often worded as 'ask' or 'hope' vs. 'expect' which I initially took as more of a contractual expectation (i.e. a requirement).
What is with authors and melodrama about common everyday things?
> I don't think the comment assumes that Russia was responsible for these specific hacks/leaks. I think it makes sense either way.

Well, it does make sense as is, but I'm glad you clarified that it isn't intended to entail that you are convinced of the origin of the hacks/leaks.
Using this definition, another example of victim blaming is telling children to look both ways before crossing the street.
Its other niche is easy to deploy replication and sharding that actually works, actually scales, and does not lose data.

As a point of fact, Amtrak passenger trains have priority over freight trains if they are on schedule. The problem is that if they are so much as a minute late, and have to yield once, they are no longer on schedule for the entire remainder of the route, and just get further and further behind. Amtrak doesn't own much of its own track, and private rail owners tend to prioritize high-value traffic, so the freight generally gets to go first. After all, everybody knows that if you wanted to get there on time, you would have flown, right?

I was once delayed on an Amtrak train for 24 hours. Twenty-four hours, sitting motionless on a siding in the middle of nowhere. A professional cyclist could have beaten me to my destination, even with one 8-hour stop to sleep. Never again. Even a coach bus would be preferable.
I think you've identified problems with how SFO is connected. To generalize that to all airports is a bit unfair.

Ah, this should really be easier to find in the vim docs. I did ":help ^x" and only came up with:

CTRL-X Subtract [count] from the number or alphabetic
character at or after the cursor. {not in Vi}

After trying again today, I could not find any thing on context-aware completion no matter what help commands I tried. And I can usually find what I'm looking for there.

When I tried C-x in insert mode a couple of days ago, I'm not sure how I missed the:
"-- ^X mode (^]^D^E^F^I^K^L^N^O^Ps^U^V^Y)"
string that appears in the mode line. Perhaps I saw it and didn't grasp what it was.

I'm always amazed after so many years of using vim how many new things there are to learn about it.

Music seems to apply to those three points as well.

At some point you think I'm hip I like music these days but eventually you'll go OK that's it I can't stand music today.
Same goes for docker. Many monetization options for docker (like the registry) have been duplicated by Google and AWS in their cloud centers. The good news is docker is in bed with Microsoft now which has very deep pockets.

Yes, the actual solution is to have a /computer/ make the markings on a ballot, which is then reviewed by human eye, and turned in.

Or mail in ballots and trusting that end users know how to fill out 'scantron' like forms from years of testing in public schools.

I really liked TS-100 but it refreshed the screen 60 times a second even when nothing was changing which made my laptop really hot (my normal text editors don't do that ;D). I think they used unity which probably limited their optimization options. Having said that, I'm buying this game, Zach makes the best geek games.
No, if you drop the BGP route the whole range disappears, not just the host that spoofs the IPs. So it kills off a whole pile of innocents as collateral damage.
In short, yep. For most f. Sometimes we want to do something different, as in three-valued logic.

Even if Trump is not being funded, influenced etc by Russia he's amateur at best. I almost compare Trump to a Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. Not a great statesman and would create a terrible political environment and make major mistakes. :( It only takes one weak president and combined with a horrible congress and we're gonna have a bad 4-8 years.

Little more than grey skies and a little sea-side chop here today. A relative in the St Augustine area, however, has reported loss of the entire garden, vicious winds and sustained power outage. Trees were expected to come down, as of a few hours ago.

I'm with you. People are so blasé about flying but I love every minute of the experience. Having said that, I do take my home-made sandwiches to the airport. Airport food is a ripoff.

> Visual Studio should read in all the files, restoring to open the ones I had open last time and allow me to start editing immediately while still loading the rest in the background.

It's already done this for a few versions -- a feature named 'asynchronous solution load'. You're able to open a file and start editing while the X hundreds of projects load. However if you do a Navigate To, Find In Files, etc. among other operations, you'll get the modal progress bar because those operations require having the entire solution parsed. But editing and other simple operations are available while the projects are loading (which takes up the bulk of the time).

edit: more info about asynchronous solution load: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2013/10/14/asy...
You'd be surprised. The CYA stuff is what you are forced to see, but there are tons and tons of videos (on this or that esoteric platform) that almost nobody will ever watch, but provide an ego-stroke (and sometimes a job justification) for this or that middle manager.

Enterprise video is always, always made for the benefit of the broadcaster (i.e. management), never for actual workers. Which is why no-one (except management) cares about enterprise video, it's possibly the worst tool for internal training or knowledge sharing.
I've lost so many posts from hitting backspace without realizing I didn't have the input box focused I'm more than happy with this trade off.
> Considering how much of a disaster Trump and his campaign has been, this is still pretty underwhelming that he was close to matching her 50-50 as much as 1-2 weeks ago.

The best he has gotten has been a tie, when he had a really good week and she had a really bad few weeks. The normal state of the race has been a commanding lead for Clinton.
The answer to "Will support contracts end?" is "Yes". The email they sent me says "Unfortunately the shutdown of the company is abrupt. We won't be able to service your contract but we'll try to provide a list of contractors who might be able to help support you. We're also working hard to find a continuity plan, and to rally the community around the open-source project. We don't know for sure how active RethinkDB development will be going forward, so you should make appropriate preparations."

> I wonder what will happen to products like SageMathCloud using RethinkDB now that the company is gone away.

Unlike my first year of using RethinkDB, during the last six months, my RethinkDB cluster has been rock solid stable and I have NOT hit a single noticeable issue. It seems like the last "the devil is in the details" bugs got ironed out a few months ago. So fortunately there is no pressing need to make a decision. My plan is to do what I can to support the open source project, and if it takes up, stick with RethinkDB longterm. If the open source project does not take off within a year, I will probably spend about 2-3 months fulltime (my estimate) to rewrite SMC to use Postgresql and RabbitMQ. Anyway, that's my plan. After this experience, I personally can't imagine rebuilding everything on top of a database that is substantially less proven than Postgresql.
