Wow. I see it around $35 on Amazon, and I know that I didn't pay that much for it around 6 years ago (can't find the order though, so I probably bought it in a large lot of games from Ebay).

A Link to the Past: Bought for $17.56 about 5 years ago, and it seems that I'd be paying around $45-$50 to get it now.

Zelda 2: Adventure of Link: bought for about $5 in 2010, selling for about $15 now.

Oof! This one's the biggest jump I've seen so far. Metal Warriors on SNES. I bought that in 2009 for $40, and the cheapest listing for it on Amazon right now is for $200.
"Phones don't die"

You're probably right.

"Weight removed from vegetable bin, vegetables are $x/lb"

This already happens at... most stores.

I think Bluetooth enrollment would be good enough or they'll send you a barcode on a PVC card stock maybe even with RFID, but sure poor people can't shop at the nice grocery store, that's always been true right?

I sort of agree, but I also think there is a real market for it. Blah blah capitalism blah. "The market will show whether the problem was real." I'm pretty sure it's going to work out and be profitable for Amazon like always.
The article says

>We began reporting on the first signs of the looming NAND shortage all the way back in May

For your first link, May is when the flashdrive was at its lowest point followed by the price jumping up from ~$70 to ~$100.
Really, stop looking up stuff online (except to find a specialist ASAP). That will just inflame your condition even more. But do find specialist, right now, please. As in, call in sick to take a half or a full day off (just to find someone available and make an appointment) if you have to. That's what your sick days are for, actually.

Better, try to see at least 2, ideally 3 specialists. (That's what I've found to be prudent for any condition substantially "tricky" -- like potential nerve damage, for example). But definitely make sure to see someone as as soon as humanly and physically possible. Because that's how serious your situation is.

It isn't necessarily likely (so I don't want to sensationalize), but there's a significant chance that your condition can "tip" into a state such that the damage is essentially untreatable. Significant enough such that there's really no value proposition at all delaying action, any further.
And the more who go into research the better chance society as a whole has.

That's very easy to say but where are the jobs for these people? http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110420/full/472276a.html

We would be better off identifying areas where there truly is a shortage of people (if any) and directing talented people there instead (and no, programming is not one of them).
Stereotypical childhood toys, gender stereotypes that widely persist despite the efforts of the people making those "women in science" banners and starting those clubs, the standard difficulties of entering a group or field where nobody looks like you, very widespread reports from women of discrimination and harassment, several studies where professors are less likely to respond to emails from people with minority-sounding names, etc.

You really don't see any of these stereotypes in your daily life? Why are physics departments 80% men [1]? Just random chance?

You have to consider purchasing power, not how much moneys you have in your wallet.

If the majority of people get 10x the money they used to, they're not getting 10x the purchasing power, because everyone needs a higher salary.

This is also an oversimplification. You can read more about the phenomenon here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_disease

Small addendum: while we can miss the far left and far right like a sore toothache the moderate left and right are not really enemies, they are intellectual counterparts and they need each other. To make actual progress happen for everyone you do not need a "winner", but you need a well thought out inclusive vision which measures up to facts.

Or to make things more concrete: You do not only need the fast young smart startup whizkid entrepreneur kicking a ton of interesting ideas around (the "moderate left") but also the old and wise manager (the "moderate right") who takes these ideas and measures them up based on experience (historical knowledge)
This echoes the sentiments of Kurt Vonnegut in his short 2005 essay about being regarded as a Luddite:

Don't lump all the West together. I feel the same when I travel from Norway to the UK. Even my children were astonished at how childish children were in the UK.
People are angry because you waste their time! Every single time you release some garbage but you write on the label that it's the next big thing people will lose time with it. And time is something you can not get back, no matter how much money you have.

As an irony the only people that really profited from OSS are... the big corporations.

That is basically a act of war then isnt it? Definitly not "legally hacking the whole world". Even if they legally hacked my computer, they illegally hacked into my computer. I see no reason why i couldnt sue them about this (sure that would be laughed at, but still no is no "except the U.S. wants that" written on my local law)

Also please go tell this to Russia or China or any other country the U.S. heavily depends on for their economy.

Edit:// Except for keeping the dollar stable because that would influence our economy as well, i dont see how switzerland is depending on the U.S. a lot. China, that would be a real issue tho.
We started in Ruby and have moved to Elixir (not a pipe dream!). If you have an SOA already, adding Elixir isn't a big hurdle. Experienced engineers can pick it up super quickly.

I agree it is incredibly fun! All of the hard work put into BEAM plus the easy-of-use of Ruby and the joys of functional programming make for a wonderful developer experience.
I felt the same: lots of very good engineering but not a lot of open, competitive, creative and free capitalism. Even China does a lot better than just copycat.

However, it seems that most people reading this thread are from the Родина (rodina: motherland) and get offended by objective criticism about Russia.
> But figuring out your Babel presets and plugins is undoubtedly another thing that we have to think about when we start a project. Similarly with JSLint/JSHint -> ESlint.

There's ways around this. Tools people built to make this easier.

I created a preset of my own for Babel, and now I use that for any new project, no figuring it out every time. I know what my preset has in it, and if I need anything new, I can put it in and all other projects have it now too.

Same with ESLint, there's tools such as Standard (And the standard-engine if you don't want to use actually standard) where it IS drop in again.

> Sorry for the late reply - I'm traveling.

No problem!

> A constant-current power supply is the preferred way to charge a capacitor wihtout destroying it.

Sure, I agree. I just wanted to use a simpler circuit to keep my explanation simple.

>As to circuits other than ideal ones, I draw your attention to the behavior of superconductors, in which currents flow endlessly until interrupted.

I think you have cause and effect mixed up. How do you get this current started in the super conductor? What is the magnitude of this current? Infinite amps? You will still need an initial jolt (voltage source) to get the current started.

>For a constant-current source, the rise is linear

You do realize there no such thing as a practical constant current source? A current source is just a voltage source which can adjust its terminal voltage to keep it's current output constant with changing load? Like I said you need to understand the cause and effect relationships here.

> Capacitors have an upper limit to inrush current

Sure practical capacitors, conductors, resistors, ... everything has an Imax. I did say raise the voltage as long as you are within the safe operating area. SOAs are defined in terms of Imax, Vmax and Pmax.

>I will apply 10 amperes of constant current

As I have already explained a constant current source is just a voltage source with current feedback. You are actually changing the terminal voltage to maintain your 10A. I agree charging at Imax is the fastest way of charging a capacitor but my circuit was simpler (constant voltage source with varying current vs your constant current source with varying terminal voltage).

> Will I be able to charge the capacitor faster from a source of 200 volts than from a source of 50 volts?

This is a resounding yes. A constant voltage source rated at 200V will charge a capacitor faster than a source rated at 50V by virtue of the capacitor charging equation (assuming internal resistances are comparable).

> Surely you realize one doesn't attach capacitors to voltage sources, or is this still not understood?

There is no reason why you cannot attach a voltage source to a capacitor. See: http://imgur.com/gallery/sOZ1F. Let me remind you a so called current source is also a voltage source. Current sources are a theoretical construct. Internal resistances have to be considered in a practical circuit otherwise you will have to deal with infinite currents at t=0.
Also, you are conflating social return vs. private return. Yes, me being able to go on facebook has very little social returns but it has some private returns. Private returns mean a lot to people - just look at all the people working on wall st.

to me at least, being infuriating means it just makes me angry. Lots of things that happen to be correct or worth discussing can infuriate me. If there's a problem with it that I can articulate, I would give it a different description like misleading, wrong, or fallacious
But back when we had shortage in HDD production a few years ago, it was because many companies used factory based near some catastrophe. Here it's "just" silicon, are there only so few fabs all over the world that are able to manufacture these?
Creating barriers or deliberately keeping them up is never the solution. Every time you create more obstacles, you'll end up losing a future contributor or two. Contributors that might end up solving larger future problems or ones that end up owning the whole project after you have moved on. It's not about the slightest inconvenience and obviously you might get slightly larger signal-to-noise ratio but when was the last time keeping into your own small bubble paid off? Most likely never.

At the Brackets project (https://github.com/adobe/brackets) we have seen lots of new active contributors that started from none to giving steady stream of PRs and the effort needed for that was just a slight push to the right direction.
No, I think GP is totally correct. Economy does not describe "all things that are valuable to us", nor does it describe relative value between things when considering the whole picture of one's life. Economy is a system of powerful feedback loops; it amplifies momentary relative value differentials. People like the human contact, but due to financial situation prefer cheaper groceries? If shops can save on cutting nice clerks out of the loop (or working them down into zombiefication), they'll outcompete ones that try to stick to "old model", but guess what - another part of the economy is right there to take away the marginal savings you as a customer just "made", and thus you're no better than before in terms of spending money, but you've just lost another nice aspect of the society.

The economy often gives us good solutions, but it also often gives us bad ones. The economy doesn't care either way.

Outside being a web developer in a vfx/feature animation studio (IMS developer) there are programming-centric roles where experience with python, http APIs and dbs/orms comes in handy.

Roles like Assistant Technical Director (ATD), Pipeline Technical Director (Pipeline TD) and Pipeline Developer require familiarity with the applications used by 3d/2d artists (Maya, Nuke and Houdini to name a few) and their APIs to deliver the kind of functionality presented in the article.

Almost all those applications have a python interpreter that they use to expose their scripting api, and have a C++ SDKs as well. Most of them use Qt (and PyQt/Pyside) as the ui framework, which is the core skill for roles like UI Developer.

We are hiring across all of those roles: http://www.dneg.com/jobs/
Anecdotally, the authors I mentioned are staples of an undergraduate course in feminist theory. That said, also anecdotally, there isn't much that can be generalized about womens' studies courses because there are so many divergent concentrations around issues and schools of thought.
Amazing that people still pay for that.
The Appeal to Tradition fallacy, because things have always been shitty and improvement is hard.

Just because people have always been jerks doesn't mean we have to be forever. The idea of inclusion, bringing in more brains in more people to accomplish the same goal is a universal gain for everyone involved, including the people who get angry about it.

You can minimize the effects of a toxic culture that rewards people for being rude, you can even file it under "meritocracy" which has never existed anywhere in human history, you can do anything else to justify why you have the right to be a jerk and no one can stop you and as a maintainer that's fine, you have that right. But in doing so you push out valuable developer resources, new people, and fresh ideas which only hurts the thing you're trying to build or use.

Anyone can get angry. Anyone can take to a keyboard and spill a row of profanity and impotent rage because it makes them feel better for a short moment. It takes real scholars to get out there and actually solve the problems, and I'm sorry but no problems have ever been solved by techbros highfiving each others blog posts.
You needn't talk in metaphors - why not talk about actual workplace situations, rather than a mythical bike-shed painting $MEGACORP?

In this case, you've imagined a company with lots of process, but no efficiency, e.g having a department dedicated to the upkeep of bike-sheds, but that has as yet failed to produce a schedule.

Such a company would be inefficient, but the question is a) are such companies common, and are all large companies like this? b) is this really impinging on your creativity, or on you pragmatism/autonomy.

In a large company, there maybe good reasons that things are at least structured this way - maybe the solution in this case is finding out why the department are so ineffective, rather than tearing down that structure.

> You sure an intern couldn't be doing this?

My experience is different, I've yet to see a more senior dev, on a senior dev salary given junior tasks. I'm more likely to see inexperienced devs given difficult tasks.

> Why the fuck are you painting it in diagonals?

Again, can you talk outside of metaphors? Because it seems you are saying that MEGACORPS are full of idiots doing it wrong, and you know better?

Again, sounds like you want autonomy to fix inefficient processes. Whether this is justified depends on what specific examples you've actually encountered.
I feel like disappointing research is going to be a given when you have such an obvious conflict. The author has a strong motivation to make Zestimates seem bad (the less reliable the resources you have to buy/sell a home on your own are the more you'll need to contact them) and a million degrees of freedom (which neighborhoods in which cities, price floor for consideration, how many examples to pull ...) to get the answer they want.

"Research" of this type should probably never be trusted.
I know this is a what aboutism, but...

> The same goes for the US.

Different scales! One has third-world law enforcement issues, the other has first-world law enforcement issues. At any rate, the US doesn't put out so many laws (at least at the federal level) that it knows it can't enforce because enforcement would destroy the economy, while China has no problem doing that. Heck, China has an entire "constitution" that guarantees many rights unequivocally (freedom of speech, assembly, all the good stuff), which is then unilaterally ignored. Say what you want about the US, but the supreme court isn't that horrible or ineffective (yet).

> The same goes for the US, just to a different degree in different contexts.

Yep. It is never black and white, just a very dark gray vs. a much lighter shade of gray.
I looked up the Modigliani-Miller theorem, and the first thing wikipedia said was "in the absence of taxes, bankruptcy costs, agency costs, and asymmetric information, and in an efficient market, the value of a firm is unaffected by how that firm is financed." So basically the theorem is irrelevant, because none of those assumptions apply. We do have bankruptcy costs, agency costs, asymmetric information, and an inefficient market.

I think more important than yield in low interest rate environments is that dividends are generally pretty reliable, as opposed to price appreciation, which is not. A long history of increasing dividends shows a strong underlying business model and history of execution. Furthermore, for mature companies, there is only so much money you can productively employ; retaining money that you cannot use effectively reduces shareholder returns. Conversely, you shouldn't be paying dividends if you are entering an Amazon winner-take-all market because you need it to grow. So you really should care about dividends.
That's a definite plus. I was just saying that the long-range position tracking might not be as important.
Exactly this. In Java, it's definitely possible to almost completely avoid garbage, and the GC is tunable enough that you could consistently have the GC run once per frame, which then makes it just a normal part of the frame timing if you have a general idea of what is being created. Object pooling is magical, yo. I imagine in Golang, this would only get easier as the pauses are super short and I feel more control over the memory allocation (whether this is true or not is an open question).
I am not implying that. It just really annoys me that major media outlets use "legally" and "hacking the world" in the same sentence as if the U.S. were some kind of super power above the law.

They took themself the right to hack everyone would be way more reflecting reality.

A very smart statistician who worked for Amazon once said, "estimates are useless without error bars". The problem with Zillow is they really should just show a range, not a fixed number that appears to be accurate to the ones place.

Edit since I wasn't clear: I know they show a range in tiny text, but they main number they show should be the range if they want to avoid all of the "is Zillow accurate" articles.
This is legit cool, especially after seeing the new Oculus touch come out (also cool, but requires so much external gear that I'd be hard pressed to buy).

Only downside I see is in regards to not having something physical to grip/grab for many games. Would this work with a fake gun controller in a shooting game, for example? I doubt it could track my trigger finger when obscured.
This is how it USED to be done, and was a significant contributor the housing bubble that lead to the recession.

It's different now, not necessarily less subjective but the incentive for creative appraisals has been drastically reduced. Prices have to be justified and mortgage brokers can't interact with the appraisers now. Apprasing has to be entirely separate from the underwriting process and is now entirely blind. In some states, appraisers are now accountable for significant deviations. The turnaround time is also significantly longer. I've heard reports from some people of appraisals in bigger markets taking as long 9 weeks.

It's actually a pretty interesting process, ripe for disruption if anyone wants to take a crack at it.

I agree with your point that theres not really a solution anyones putting forth that prevents false positives, but I wouldn't agree that its entirely necessary.

You are never going to get a system that is 100% accurate so I feel it would be better to focus on being as accurate as possible. This would involve false positives and negatives to some degree. What degree that should be isn't apparent yet, but I don't think that 100% accuracy is realistic
