And real programmers write in machine code. Want to get shit done ? Most systems now a day has more then 20kb RAM! Where do you draw the line between systems programming and non system programming ? And why not write some quick and dirty code in say JavaScript and then do what needs optimization in C/assembly ? Assuming you are not restricted to a CPU that cost less then a dollar. And where does Rust come in ?
Actually for digital ads, there is a way to measure offline sales lift (albeit a few shortcomings). It requires a lot of money (i.e. ~50K for a study, and media spend 250K+). We are able to tie a digital impression to traceable tender (credit card, loyalty card, etc). There will be an exposed group and unexposed group who match each other audience-wise. Lift is then calculated and vetted for significance.

For more info, I recently did an interview on an ad-tech site about this: http://www.thalamus.co/blog/lenny-chase-interview/ Happy to talk more separately if interested.
There is another take on this issue. That it's not that the shoes are gender-neutral, it's that "male" is neutral. This essay explores that take: http://www.tarshi.net/inplainspeak/marked-women-unmarked-men...

Interesting I thought it was the affiliates job to drive traffic towards the business and the business job to do the conversion. i.e. with sales and whatnot.

So, I see, the affiliate is responsible for driving 'quality' traffic towards a business.

It seems like industries like gambling and smoking and other vice industries would be the best place to be then?
Well, I'm upvoting you because I can say that while I think the show has some pretty good moments, its not great and I feel it pulls on my "depression strings" quite deliberately, and I have a pretty damn dark sense of humor. And frankly, it can't touch the Twilight Zone in my mind.
That's not true in general. I've used realtime Java in a safety critical hard realtime application (running on a large server), with strong deadline guarantees (we're talking microsecond range). If you have the power and RAM to spare, the predictability issue is more cheaply solved with the approach I mentioned above (by cheaply I mean in terms of development costs; it is more costly than "plain" GC in terms of effort, but still cheaper than the Rust approach).

The only real cost of GC these days is RAM (and power).
Lifetimes are compile-time only and do not do any reference counting. So Rust has the same latency guarantees as C, for example.
Microsoft has really adopted an if-you-can't-beat-em-join-em attitude these days. There were times when Microsoft and Linux were at such odds that an announcement like this seemed impossible.

The next smart move I'd love to see from Microsoft is similar to Apple's adoption of BSD as their base OS with the introduction of OSX, an adoption of Linux as the base Microsoft OS. They could stop wasting money on systems programming and focus on the UI and apps which is where they make their money anyway. Wine has come a long way with Microsoft's direct help it could support all of the existing Microsoft apps.
That's not true, some GC algorithms make code behaviour unpredictable. Real-time tracing GCs exist. Reference counting is GC too, but it too is unpredictable.
By RICO I just meant "big cases involving major criminal enterprises". (And I should have said "a big tax evader under RICO" rather than imply that they were evading RICO itself...)
Defects can heavily affect the security of your assets though - just preventing buffer overflow is a huge win there. It just isn't a full solution to the problem of security in general, and I don't know that any such thing could exist, whether at the programming language level or otherwise.
Completely understand. When ever one is making a product there are trade offs and priorities. We are going to continually iterating on the product. So hopefully we can increase its usefulness to you over time.

Seeking technical cofounder for visualization software startup
It's not unusual, but it's still a massive conflict of interest. The drug companies are clearly incentivized to hire laboratories that just happen to come up with the "right" results. Alternatively, they can just hire a hundred studies and just use the one that happens, by chance, to turn out the way they want.

Not specifically about your book, but I would love if there was a quicker way to find methods in the docs.

Right now, if I want to find the methods used by BTreeMap you have to wade through a good amount of information until you can find how to just get the keys. I'm currently on mobile where the issue is more prominent.
Which is what "casual users" have been doing with macOS for a while now: getting some of the BSD userspace tools they like in a friendlier overall OS package.

If anything Microsoft is providing a way to encourage Windows users that would never touch a BSD or Linux userspace tool to give it a try. That's a possible way to bring new users to Linux: teach them how to do things with Linux userspace tools and encourage them to dive deeper until they can do everything they want with Linux userspace tools and then maybe encourage them to switch.

If anything, Microsoft has given the Linux community the keys to possibly embrace some "casual users" that otherwise never would have explored Linux.
WPF is a lot more than just a markup language for object graphs. Heck, the features I consider most essential and important to WPF (data binding, templating, and the idea that controls only encapsulate behaviour) have nothing to do with XAML at all.
Publish modules in style
I'd suggest a "Car Talk" or "Ask This Old House" style call-in, submit-a-question format. Short, diverse segments that are listener guided (though sometimes the shows will have other prepped segments). These often border on the how-to side of things - but are deeply educational (and very successful) formats.
Valve’s The Lab is fantastic and is usually one of the first things I show.

The Cubicle (https://steamcommunity.com/app/452490) has a nice twist to it, but is far less polished than the ones I previously listed.

Could you elaborate on this?
Rust itself can't, but you as the programmer can.

It's not quite C, but you can do a lot of reasoning about what the compiler will do with your code, and avoid pathological cases.
In addition to founder analysis and commentary, I think it would be useful to hear from industry veterans about ongoing challenges/opportunities in their industry and how new companies can/should attack them. In a similar vein, how does socio-economic and political change affect these opportunities (e.g. new legislation in certain markets allowing for new technologies and processes to gain traction).
They do? React, Angular, etc?
It's to enhance lock-in for your data hosting.
The best way to handle this seems to be accountability. There needs to be a reasonable way to hold companies to what they say. Currently, a company says the effect would be X in 5 years. In 5 years, these effects should be studied and if the variance is more than a reasonable standard - the merger should be relooked at and appropriate recommendations should be taken.

The current system looks at merger decisions as a one time policy decision. It should take it up as an iterative exercise.
I think the software itself is actually really well done, however I hate the fact that the pricing always HAS to be 'Contact sales'.

Why is it so hard to have transparent pricing? Just say what you offer and tell us how much you want to be paid, as easy as that. 'Contact sales' makes pricing REALLY intransparent and ultimately leads to lower sales.

Rust overlaps with C/C++ and even with Go. Go was initially trying to be a replacement for C/C++, but hasn't succeeded, because it is too high level. Rust on the other hand looks very promising in that area, which requires low level access but also desires safety.
jQuery doesn't officially support IE 8 and earlier, or any other browser older than "current - 1". React supports at least the same as jQuery.
PHP is some tool that was never really good, but had some compelling features that no other tools provided. Except that now there are better tools for any task it solved, excluding the task of "maintaining a PHP codebase".

I downvoted you because you are repeating the tired old trope about implicit biases and agendas. It's as if once we think we've identified someone's agenda, we can tell whether they're telling the truth. But this is false: the proper way is to assess the quality of reporting first, and if it is low-quality, then we can ask questions about how shoddy work got through, and then the answer might be biases and agendas. If it's good reporting, then biases and agendas are irrelevant. But in any case objective quality always comes first.

Unless you only want to do nonprofit/public agencies there is also a market for grant writing for small businesses. They are SBIR/STTR available from most (all?) grant funding agencies and are often how scientific startups get initial funding. Maybe these are considered not qualified candidates for your approach, but something to consider.
Angular 1 and Polymer 1 have a limited version of jquery integrated into the stack. Don't know about React, Angular 2, or Polymer 2 though.
Comparing to Apple, Microsoft seems to be getting more attention to their news, which is a praiseworthy change.
yes, Angular requires jquery for selectors. React I'm pretty sure doesn't.

I know for a fact that React doesn't. And it's now possible to do quite a bit of element selection (and style flipping), AJAX, and JSON manipulation with pure javascript.

That being said, I agree with your last statement. For better or worse, jQuery still seems to be king.
I'd love to hear more detail - the past podcasts were interesting but largely fluff.

You can have objective high quality reporting and still be pushing an agenda. It will show in what you choose to report and what issues you just don't talk about.

This just isn't true. OP mentioned React, Vue.js, and Mithril. None of these use jQuery as a dependency. Neither does Angular, Backbone, or Ember.js.

Designing with Machine Learning – WeWork
I love C++, for decades it was one of the only games in town. But IMO there's a huge pipeline stall in C++17.

Features postponed beyond C++17 related to or bound to C's legacy are already in Rust (modules, e.g).
Not the op but: Gimlet is very good at creating well put together and edited stories. That seasons is very human and dives headlong into the painful (and beautiful) parts of slowly grinding and iterating toward failure. Failure from an investor perspective at least, it ends up being a non-scalable, labor intensive lifestyle business that loads of people would be proud to have built.

It was the opposite of the YC podcast: I'm a human that grew up, I went to college X, Applied to YC, Tried X, Y but Z is the one that worked. Company is great we raised money.

Stallman's definition is correct. The operating system for everyone else includes the userland and libc. Luckily this is what made LX and the Windows equivalent possible, though.
You know, it's been well over a decade of seeing the anti-PHP stuff and I still have yet to see a "PHP is evil" argument that doesn't fall apart after a little scrutiny. I proudly use it and am happy to look at it's usage vs. alternative languages in any of the real-world projects I've developed.

Sounds like you answered your own question. For VPS hosting I would recommend DO.
No popular current generation framework relies on jQuery. The most recent one I can come up with is Angular 1's reliance on their jQlite micro-library but would use the full jQuery if it was on the page.

The calculation of 25 people uses a twin mattress as a comfortable fit for one person, not two.

In the US, a twin mattress is the smallest adult size available, and is almost always seen as a one-person bed. I usually see queen-sized mattresses marketed as the average-size bed for two people, and full (one size up from twin) recommended as the comfortable choice for single sleepers.

http://bettersleep.org/mattresses-and-more/mattress-sizes has a good overview of mattress size standards (at least for the US).
I haven't touched jQuery in over 2 years. It's not necessary anymore as the browsers I support are following standards. Even though the syntax is a little bit nicer than vanilla js I don't see any real advantage in using jQuery anymore. jQuery did a lot for the web (it pushed browsers to keeping standards and it brought native implementations like querySelector), but I think the time has come to move on.

Well, I'm an Emacs user. I don't necessarily care about the tools that more IDE focused people might (OTOH, RMS should loosen up on the AST: you can't afford to lose much more than you already have), but rust-mode works fine for me.
I haven't done a lot of 'Windows exclusive' development for a while, but something like 6-8 years ago, I was making an installer for a small company that up to that moment, they had to send someone over to spend a whole day installing the software on client's machines.

I was strongly suggested to use WiX. I spent 2 months trying to get something to work, but I wasn't able to get nothing truly useful to run. I remember explicitly that something as simple as writing to the registry was proving problematic. To make it worse, documentation was poor, and there wasn't much of a community around it cause it was brand spanking new.

Two months in, without telling anyone, I decided to ditch it and use NSIS. That day I had something that actually worked! Within 2 weeks I had something that was running end to end, installing the software on the machine. The next month was polishing, and testing/fixing for different versions of Windows.

I have no idea how things may have changed now, but if I tasked with making a Windows installer today, I wouldn't even think twice about using anything other than NSIS.
It could be useful to have "horizontal" episodes around a problem, e.g. three companies that survived a founder leaving.
> Lifetimes are compile-time only and do not do any reference counting.

I never said they did, I said lifetimes and reference counting both have this pathological case.

C also doesn't provide latency guarantees, as the same pathological programs can exist in C as well. It's a total myth that you need C in realtime domains due to "latency".

Maximum pause times are a property of a particular runtime, not a language.

Yes, an absolutely classic example of implicit biases in training sets.

On the one hand, the network should eventually learn to classify high heels as shoes.

On the other, when these classification system actually get used, they're always at some arbitrary point in their training, so you can't just wait for "all the biases to go away."
For web apps I would use anything BUT jQuery.

For adding simple functionality to a web page, I would probably ever ONLY use jQuery. (Assuming plain js was going to be a hassle.)

FWIW I haven't used much jQuery for about the last 3 years, and all I do is web apps all day every day. The day I discovered Knockout (as the gateway drug) was the day life got exponentially better.
