Keith Richards and his school buddy, Mick Jagger, bonded by nerding out over American folk music ('Life' is a fun read), including both rhythm and blues and the kind of hillbilly stuff Dylan refers to. So did Paul McCartney and John Lennon. It's kind of amazing how rock and roll became so much greater when it was exported and imported.
I think you've misunderstood the article. It's talking about the object dependency (pointer) graph, not data structures in a more general sense. The object dependency graph is intrinsically cyclical in the way the OP describes. There's no avoiding it.
To be fair, the opposite is true as well.
I can't say I'm a huge fan; I prefer the, erm, Iron & Wine style of soft crooning.
> So yes, you do need to understand the new functional reactive approach. You need to know how to write a Gradle build. You have to understand the complexities of proguard rules. It's all pretty frustrating. But I also feel that many of the skills are more easily transferrable - I can also write a Gradle build for a library or I can use IntelliJ to better debug a servlet. With Swift and iOS, there's only vendor you can build for.

I couldn't agree more. Android experience is hard-won. You have to 'discover' and develop an intuition for application architecture and how to use UI components effectively over time.

The upside is a well-architected Android application --using tools like MVP, dependency-injection, and functional-reactive programming-- will have the positive characteristics of a Service Oriented Architecture: encapsulation, statelessness, composability, loose-coupling. This may seem like overkill for an app, but it minimizes the effect of UI lifecycle issues novice and intermediate developers tend to complain about.

Architect a few Android applications in this way and you gain valuable experience composing abstract services together. A competency that is transferrable to backend services and other platforms.
I was fortunate enough to see him live quite a few times during his touring between 2008 and 2012, and I have never seen better live music in my life. In his late 70s he would give a 3+ hour performance full of energy and enthusiasm, it was truly incredible to see.
Mobile development in general is a pita.

We really need a native cross platform solution that doesn't involve either running a JavaScript VM (ReactNative, NativeScript), writing UI code for each OS (Xamarin), and doesn't rely on a WebView.

Xamarin Forms could fit the bill, but last time I checked it wasn't there yet.

What other option are there?

Do you value your liberty? I bet you do and you just don't realize you've been slowly but surely losing it.

I would venture that the only extremism, so to speak, that exists is in how government has increased in both its size and ineffectiveness. When you have a combination of the two aforementioned features, then things inevitably get worse.

> Oh boy. Anti-government extremists like yourself love to grandstand about the merits of unfettered capitalism without understanding that government creates the conditions for market capitalism to exist.

> There would be no property rights without the police, legal contracts without the courts, no medium of exchange without the Treasury. Governments provide minimal standards of worker safety, public health, and public education - all of which are necessary for a productive workforce.

Just because monkeys can ride bikes doesn't mean that only monkeys can ride bikes. Due to government's inherent inefficiencies and its tendency to grow and encompass ever more aspects of life, two things happen; you lose your liberty and it becomes very expensive to sustain government.

I really don't see how you can't see that government really is bad for you and that there's always a better way. I don't like the fact that as the human race we've resigned ourselves to thinking that we can innovate/disrupt most other things except for governance. When I hear statements like, 'democracy is the worst form of government except for all others', I cringe. Here's an idea, how about less or where possible, no government. These demagogues and bureaucrats really aren't as important as you think they are.

Let John Galt be. Let the markets be. Obama and the rest of them have no place dictating how innovation and businesses should be run.
From what I see, the only thing that can help with post-mortem debugging is changing the promise so that it doesn't catch the exception when calling the initialiser or handler. You can still do whatever you could with Promises (but you have to do `Promise.reject(...)` or `reject(...)` instead of `throw ...`), but it's not going to conform with the standard. Many libraries are probably going to break if you drop-in a Promise implemented this way.

Edit: I didn't explain why this change is important: if the Promise is catching the exception, the Execution Context where exception was thrown is lost and (potentially) irrecoverable, the program has to crash there and now if you want to debug the reason for the exception. This is a property of the Promise standard, changes to debugging tools or environment won't help.
You could make Node aware of promises, and capture the execution context with promise exception, but I don't think Promises are special enough.
I think you misunderstand inflation.

Inflation is based on a the supply and demand for a currency - not goods that the currency can buy.

I don't quite understand how this is failure.

Chemistry, physics, physiology and medicine are sciences that have practitioners. Literature is an art that has practitioners. But peace is not a science nor an art. Nevertheless, Alfred Nobel saw fit to set up the peace prize. The rumor is that he did this because of hurt feelings after being accused of profiting from munitions manufacturing (he made his fortunes through inventions in explosives).

Of course there is a difference in who is doing the awarding. Nobel's decision to give the prize-awarding responsibility to Norwegian parliament might have had something to do with knowing peace activists at the time when Sweden and Norway were approaching the dissolution of their union, and there was fear of war.

I can't really point out any significantly better subject matter experts in working for peace than Norwegian Parliament.

Neat, thanks it's very much appreciated. I did some digging and except from re-posted articles and CV builders it seems like there are not many tools to help with this. Which surprises me a bit given that I'd think many struggle to be effective in something I consider crucial to be successful in your chosen field.
These would be stupid questions even if they weren't being administered by a non-programming recruiter.
The MusicCares speech is great; thanks. An interesting excerpt:

I learned lyrics and how to write them from listening to folk songs. And I played them, and I met other people that played them, back when nobody was doing it. Sang nothing but these folk songs, and they gave me the code for everything that's fair game, that everything belongs to everyone.

Does Dylan allow bootlegging? Are his songs libre? Does he limit their use or charge royalties? Can I sample one without his permission?

Hahaha, that is funny/tragic. Outsourcing hiring a director of engineering to a moron with a cheat sheet! Your answers were great, though, and indeed on the systems I have tried the popcount() computation with the bit shifts you suggested is faster than using an 8 bit lookup table. (however the SSE4 popcnt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE4#POPCNT_and_LZCNT) is faster still).
Really, basically every server I see is either Ubuntu or Centos. Very few Debian. With containers is different, who packaged the container for a given service wins. Example: Elastic uses Debian for their docker images on docker hub.

Do you hear this in any of their work? I only hear it in "Rocky Racoon", which is one of my least favorite beatles songs as a result.

The big reason: Cross platform compatibility. Not just between mobile platforms, but even between mobile devices and webservers. Our devices are so powerful now that you can run a full blown webserver on it if you choose your DB system wisely. That's why we use CouchDB - replace it with CBL on mobile and take your whole webapp with you for offline use. I'm Swiss - we have lots of tunnels ;-).

IIRC, 16.10 has low-resource usage mode that cuts down on the visual effects.

If you're seeing that kind of artifacting in Unity, you should consider reporting it as it's a bug with details about your graphics hardware. Personally, the only times I have issues are when exiting games, but that's complicated by the fact that my laptop has a 4K screen. Still, everybody's machine is different, and what works fine on one configuration can be buggy on another.

I think the biggest problem with attempts to "revolutionize" US education is that nobody has identified an actual problem it has. US public schools actually get pretty damn good results by worldwide standards.
"Advocates of for-profit education often understandably emphasize the role that market forces play in improving quality and efficiency."

Is there any significant evidence that for-profit educational institutions have improved either quality or efficiency (whatever that means in the case)?

"But the most constructive role the for-profit segment may play is in providing a unique level of stability to the educational ecosystem when (and only when) it establishes sustainable business models."

Considering that the rest of the article ia about the instability of the for-profit segment, this seems to be wishful thinking.

> greater than the lives saved by repealing abortion rights

That's a tall order.

To put that claim in perspective, more Americans die in abortions every year than have died in combat in the entire history of the US.

(Whether a fetus is a person is of course the point debated, but anyway, those are the numbers.)
I'd say it depends. I'm a rather happy owner of a Microsoft Surface 4 Pro - and I do see the need for the ability to switch between modes (and I can't say MS has exactly succeeded here, but also not entirely failed). Granted, I don't really see why I'd want UI/UX adapted to a screen 1/8th the size - but to a certain extent "tablet mode" and "tiny tablet mode" are probably more similar than "tablet mode" and "laptop/desktop" mode.

I'd have to test it of course. One thing that MS has not managed is make a UI that works well for high resolution screens (for legacy applications, that is). But I guess one of the reasons I'm positive to the use of "convergence" buzz word, is that it could mean that all GUI-frameworks are expected to scale in a sane manner. I absolutely understand the skepticism that it will end up being "a worst of all worlds" UI.

So how do you solve a problem like that? The best solution is to make Mexico richer, which a lot of corporations are doing by moving operations there. A city like this is proposed to speed this along, with the eventual goal of dissolving the border. I think it would succeed in its goal of increasing trade and integration.

The solution we've pursued thus far does indeed make Mexico richer, but it also makes parts of the US poorer. That's a big problem as we've found out this election, and one which both political parties discounted, the Republicans moreso since apparently the nationalist faction of their coalition is larger than the labor faction of the Democrats' coalition.

You can justify current policy with utilitarianism (net welfare of the planet is maximized by globalizing as fast as possible) and realpolitik (we're going to globalize as fast as we possibly can without losing elections).

However whenever change occurs too quickly over the will of the people, there is a reaction and we came very close to upsetting the apple cart this election. I think the opinion makers should set about trying to ameliorate the dislocations caused by globalization rather than trying to accelerate it. The latter course smacks of indifference and hubris.

This is a very promising solution. If it has a fatal problem (I'm not sure it does), it would be the cost of searching back through the referrer chain to look for a root pointer. Am I wrong in thinking that that will be at least O(n), if not O(n^2)? And n could be extremely large—as large as the number of objects in your program.

To say it another way: what we (C++ programmers, stereotypically) don't like about GC is that it incurs long search costs at unpredictable intervals. That long search cost is not dissimilar in nature (i.e. in algorithm) to the cost of this search. So it's not clear to me that the performance characteristics of `internal_ptr` would be much different from those of GC. I'd like to see the performance characteristics of the solution filled out with more detail.

I work for a media company and one day a senior subeditor for one of Australia's preeminent newspapers called to complain that one of his writers had been locked out of Active Directory. When I found out the writer was a permanent staff member who did the obits, I removed the end date from the account and advised the sub that unlike the subjects he wrote about, the obit-writer's account would never expire.

I was gratified that I got a guffaw, and we ended the phone call.

Note that the comment you replied to didn't mention distributing things equally. Just noted that allocation is the problem that needs to be solved.

Not speaking to you in particular, but many people seem to equate any talk of redistribution to the extreme case of absolute equal distribution. But I've never seen anyone rationally arguing for that case. In reality, what most people seem to want involve some concept of 'fairness' in deciding who gets what, or minimums to what people should get just for being a part of society, or perhaps sane limits to the deviations between bottom, middle, and top.

So, yes, the questions you ask are exactly the questions we need to solve. How do we decide who gets the best surgeon, and who gets the trainee? How do we decide who gets a mansion with a view and who gets a closet with thin walls, if that? Most people seem to think that the way we are doing it now isn't ideal, so what is ideal, and how would we get there?
For me I quit android studio to use aide to develop directly on the device. I got the remix os tv box for $50. I got fed up with needing and ultra expensive machine to develop my free software. I don't profit from Android but aide enables me to continue to contribute free apps without bankrupting myself to run an expensive development machine to do hobby software.
Depends on what do you want to achieve?

We utilize Cordova heavily in product I am working on, but more on a meta-layer, meaning, that user is able to create his simple application with drag-drop ui, see a preview in browser and then package it to a phone-installable file. We even had integrations for apparmor/apperian, so that the user is able to upload the app to their corporate app management right away.

If I were to build a single app, I would go native.
Or xamarin, because I used it already, know how to get around its quirks, and like C# :)
At the very least....all software written by the govt should have the following released:

1) what problem it is trying to solve

2) how it was developed (a git log would probably do)

3) how testing is ensured (code quality)

4) security (if my personal data is hosted by teh govt, I would feel a lot safer to know how it was secured - and BS like "it's encrypted with 256 bit encryption" does not help as does not tell us how it's implemented and policies around it's implementation). And results of the pen tests (along with what was done to improve it must be published)

5) after certain years, it would have to be open sourced (if stuff like National security is an issue, it could be pushed ahead but at one point, it would be considered legacy and retired - which is abandonware - which has to be published)

6) how much was spent on the product (not just govt employee salaries, but how much it cost to host it, test it, etc.)

7) all of the above should be easily accessible.

8) if open sourced, policies on how the public can help/contribute.

It will help guide a lot of policies, bring more accountability and also help push software development.
I feel like the author stressed too much on the word "Tech" without differentiating much between the very basic nature of SW-Tech and HW-Tech. In hardware assembly lines you need more workersa and bodies, let them be in the USA or China or Taiwan. But for SW once you have developed and refined your algorithm, routine or process it does not need to have multiple people handling, managing or maintaining it. It can be replaced but let's be honest such replacement does not happen for quite some time at enterprises, in some case it takes years. My point being, yes big SW companies like Facebook, Google, Twitter etc did not create enough jobs because they produce and maintain software, not actual physical products (Google until recently). Yet they have sucked a large portion of money from the economy (Think of ecoonomy as a shared pot with fixed $ coins in it). The problem is with the financial and employment regulators for being short sighted and not predicting this trend lets say 15-20 years ago. It is a bad unbalanced financial "equation" when weight on one variable is too much and on the right one it is too low. A company with $X amount of positive revenue must invest a certain portion back into the economy. In this way we can maintain a economically balanced society. Also, people need to start getting serious about continuing education. Skills learned and obtained in the 80s or 90s is not necessarily going to be employable in the year 2016.

>giving Obama the peace price after he failed to shut down Guantanamo

That is a weird way to put it, considering that nominations for the peace prize closed just 11 days after Obama took office, and the prize was awarded 9 months later.

It's more reasonable to say that prize was given to Obama based on his campaign promises, before he even had any actual chance to close Guantanamo. (Which he still hasn't done, because obviously it is much easier to talk about it in a campaign than to really create a sustainable policy for what to do with the detainees.)

> There's a reason people tend to disable computer touchscreens.

They do? I've disabled the touchpad on my surface pro 4 (and have been known to toggle it and the nub on my thinkpad) - but the touchscreen actually works great, I think. So much so, that I'm now touching all screens everywhere, like a three year old that's been given a tablet as her first computer.

I've actually thought that a good touch screen and perhaps stylus, would be the perfect environment for something like the ACME editor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1xVpMPn8M as a new power-user editor.
