lol it's not "you vs me" with the bad parents spoiling childrens and the good ones having to succumb social pressure

seriously as a parent you set the standards, if you're the first one to fail under social pressure the children will for sure follow

the right response is to provide better activities for everyone. be the parent that brings kids to park and builds stuff with them or anything age appropriate but cool interesting fun and inclusive. or if you must pamper digital primadonna host xbox parties with sensible game selection that aren't brain drains.

craft your kid inclusivity in a sane way, instead of just blaming everyone else for your children personality.

it's not easy because there is no formula to apply that works every time. I managed to make that work by creating a set of rules to play pen and paper rpg using bionicles and teching mine to master for that very simplified game. made them heroes and drove their whole class off their phones at least for a day a week. young kids doesn't have to be or feel included all the time and it's actually best if each develops their own thing so they can share the spotlight.

Does it? Theranos has been running for 13 years, raised more than $400 mn, and has a multi-billion dollar valuation. While it may be crashing now, I know a few hucksters who managed to raise huge amounts of funding and then blew the company out while taking generous salaries for themselves. Maybe the scandal at Theranos permanently taints Elizabeth Holmes' name, but from the point of view of a huckster, she made out like a bandit, and maybe the only mistake she made was not filing for IPO and completely cashing out.

No. In fact even in the actual field of "wheel manufacturing", we have been re-inventing the wheel since for ever.

Ah, I was replying to the parent comment, but your point is interesting.

> where you supposedly have a labor market

Anyone who thinks we have an econ 101 labor market (where what is being sold is fungible and easily tradeable) hasn't searched for a job recently. Unlike capital, where a dollar is typically a dollar no matter where it comes from (though the idea of "smart money" implies that this statement is false), labor has many gradations and suppliers that vary.

Because of that, and because of the fact that employers have more leverage (because they typically are a monopsony of a particular laborer's offering), prices of labor are not equal to the marginal productivity of that laborer, but instead, as you argue, far lower.

The solution is pretty simple: the laborer should stop being an employee, start their own firm, bear more of the risk that an employer does (ever chase down an invoice? No fun!), and get compensated as such.

Other than that, you could organize and have the group (formerly called a union) compete with management for a greater share of profits, but the variation in laborer productivity would still exist and the more productive laborer would still be under compensated.

This is a very strange statement. I bet that the compiler can't prove "within-array-bounds" for about 99% of the algorithms in CLRS, but those algorithms are well-written (and have proofs themselves).

The only thing you need to get paid (picking a number) $40,000 for solving a business problem is to be able to sell a client you have identified on the desirability of paying you $40,000 to solve a business problem. This is the hardest thing for engineers to stomach about business. Being good at what you do is table stakes for consulting; a major determinant of one's success is one's ability to get good at selling.

There are ways to use OSS contributions or networking to assist in developing that client and making that sale, but they are not required. "I worked 5 years at Google" does not entitle one to a consulting gig.

No, they believe (and this is a belief for which there is overwhelming empirical evidence, not an unsupported assumption) that there exist lots of people with low tolerance to up-front costs from whom money can be made via advertising and IAP.

You may not be one of those people, but then you, alone, are insignificant in the market.

For the past 6 months my startup has been compiling everything from node into browser - emulating a lot of the node's APIs along the way and frankly it has been a godsend in terms of testability, readability and modularization.

BrowserFS is yet another module to consider to add as part of this toolchain which will help us stick to the basics instead of reinventing the wheel. Unfortunately, there is no S3 backend at the moment but by having a quick look at memory backend it may be an easy thing to add.

It'a just about catching those "certain class of errors that the Rust compiler will check that will still give you a segfault in C++".

Apache Guacamole does some. I am not sure how much auditing it does internally, but it does translate Vnc/RDP/ssh to some unified protocol that is translated over http (maybe also wrbsockets), so with the proper Certificate setup, you should be able to audit with any http audit tool.

>The answer in the comic is only: "Well, we only know how to do that for a few special problems."

>Rust claims to be faster than C and safer than C at the same time. That's not possible.

It's actually entirely possible. For example it's how Fortran has been traditionally faster than C, by not allowing for aliasing (which is also an unsafe feature) it can give the compiler more room from optimization.
Indeed, I was musing on the question of "outing" politicians, but while interesting I don't think it was what was intended. :-)
Lua isn't homoiconic and doesn't have LISP style macros; yes there's this or that patch available, but like all other attempts at implementing macros in other languages, it never comes close to being as good as what LISP does naturally, because in LISP code is data literally.

In other words, Lua has nothing to do with LISP, except that it's your favorite, hence I don't understand this comment.

As for TCO, it's regrettable that the JVM runtime doesn't provide support, however you can work around it by implementing trampolines, which is how developers of Scala, Clojure and PureScript have managed to live. For example you can implement a fairly efficient and lazy IO type, like the one in Haskell, which then gives you memory-safe tail-calls for free. Examples include the Free monad or the Task type from Scala.

The only downside of this approach is that it involves effectively building your own call-stack and keeping it in heap, which stresses the garbage collector and implies some indirection. But then again, if you'll look at the TCO performance of platforms supporting it (e.g. .NET, ES6), TCO calls have a performance penalty which can be quite significant, so I'm not sure that you'd gain much in terms of performance.

And if you measure the performance of FP-heavy Scala and Clojure, you'll see that it's not bad compared with Scheme implementations or Haskell, in spite of trampolines being used for tail-calls.

You don't have to "solve the halting problem" to have better heuristics/primitives than C that give a compiler more optimization room. Even Fortran does it, and of course there's tons of room for way bigger "intention defining" features in a language than what Fortran offers.

So nothing strange about the statement, except your hyperbole.

Well that (default being TCO, and explicitly declaring a stack call) would mean every normal function call (the vast majority) would need to be explicitly declared (call func args...), and the implicit case would need to blow up everywhere it's invoked in a non-tail position.

What I was getting at is: in an automatic TCO language you don't actually know if the call is optimised or not. You might think it's optimised, but it isn't, because it's not in the tail position. You don't find this out until one day in production the stack explodes. The only way to know if it's optimised is to determine if it is in the tail position. That sometimes is straight forwards, but sometimes requires careful thought. It is certainly not always obvious.

Additionally, another coder can come along and break your tail position. You've gone "return func()" and it's TCO and then later someone changes it to "return 1 + func()" and now the call to func is not TCO, but there is no warning and no obvious outward signs that this has changed.

In the explicit TCO of clojure, if the second programmer adds the extension the compiler will explode with something like "recur not in tail position", immediately informing you that this has happened, and then you may either refactor to put it back in the tail position, or change it to a full stack function call once you determine that building up stack is ok in this case.

Now I think loop/recur was implemented in Clojure as a work around the JVM limitations, but in doing so I think Hickey stumbled onto a really great new syntactic formulation for TCO. Explicitly declared TCO. I like it.

Hi, I'm working on a static renderer for the c2 source json, AMA.

I'll be hosting a mirror (I think the license allows for that but I'll have to check) and then integrating it with the one hosted on the original domain.

I also kind of want yo set up some kind of edge caching static rendering with loose constraints on how up-to-date pages need to be (because the point is providing a read-only Lynx/CURL experience), but I think this might end up being too much work technically or politically.
Thanks for sharing!

Do I interpret your numbers correctly in that with the $100 budget and about $5 per lead, you generated just 20 leads, of which about 7 finally bought the book?
I say "browser-based" because Slack, HipChat, et al are chat platforms you need to use a browser — or something that embeds a browser, like their official apps — to access. They may have gateways to standard protocols like IRC, but those are gateways, need to be enabled on a per-project basis, and may even be extra cost features.

If you don't see why I'm comparing something like Slack to AOL chat rooms and Yahoo Chat, perhaps you don't understand what Slack is as well as you think you do. The fact that you can set up an instance for a team or organization isn't what's important in the comparison, it's the scalability of the service and the degree of client resources used.

Very disappointing to see such a fluff piece in Nature.

One scientist who says "I have a lot more discipline" while another says "“I'm just typing whatever comes into my head".

The "ability to incorporate 'bots'" is lauded as a feature, suggesting that it's not possible with email while further down reporting how one lab has triggers from email to post to Slack.

To top it all off, every "feature" of Slack mentioned is also a feature of email.
Most likely simply don't think about it in enough depth to form a view either way. Collecting data to make the app make connections better is the "acceptable" view. The artificial bubbling is probably widely known - as it's recently hit mainstream thanks to all the fake news.

The implications and other uses and data transfers are not talked, or often known about. Just like when you look into food production or global supply chains you find many inconvenient truths there too. As age is so often correlated with cynicism it's probable that many tech applicants (to FB or anywhere) are simply not adequately cynical yet. There's quite a few cases of high profile techies suddenly and surprisingly (well according to reportage anyway :) becoming rather anti.

btw I thought The Circle far too gentle, and simplistic, about the criticism.

Perhaps it's the "cynical Brit" perspective as I felt very much the same about Black Mirror after arrival at Netflix.

Plenty of people make that claim, just search carbohydrate loading. The scientific reasoning is very simple. Aerobic exercise performance is limited by the rate of oxygen uptake, turning fats into usable energy takes considerably more oxygen than it does for CHO. You can in a single race/session exhaust your glycogen stores, but the supply of fats is essentially limitless. So for ideal performance you want to maximize your glycogen stores before an event, and for long ones, take additional CHO during, though rate of consumption is usually significantly higher than replenishment through digestion if you are going at all fast.

That point when you have exhausted your glycogen stores is what they call bonking. Now you can fine-tune your low carb diet to hopefully have enough glycogen at any point to sustain you through an exercise session (more realistic for running than cycling) but everyone else just eats a high-carb diet.
Broke, in debt, lots of skills. Need your advice
Hi guys, I need an advice.

I’m long time lurker. I was working for the last 10 years on my own startups, every one of them failed miserably and I’m broke with huge debt (more than 100k). Of course I’m depressed and lonely and all that stuff and of course It’s awesome that I learned lots of stuff and I still want to start something new and that after lots of struggle I found my "real purpose in life" (= what I want to do for rest of my life and what makes me happy) but right know I’m realist.

I really need to fix all of my money issues and start from zero, debt is catching me. I can’t and don’t want to borrow money, I don’t have family to back me up. For know, I need to start making money as quickly as possible. I have my own family (and we have a 6yo child).

I have tons of experiences with PHP/MySQL/CSS/jQuery+Bootstrap, I can do rapid prototype of any website/business model, I can do frontend or backend, and even though I failed with all of my startups, I can do consulting of idea, business model or website (the reasons I failed was, you guess it, money management and stupid, stupid, stupid way of “poker" thinking - “Ok, I failed, I’m in some debt, but now i will double down on next company and it will be OK). I have many lean startup skills (programming, coding, marketing, bootstrapping, designing, UI/UX, idea development, idea brainstorming, etc). I’m completely aware of my strengths and weaknesses. I don’t have any portfolio of my work I can present, I was working for the last 3 years on huge startup which failed, our investor now owns it and we have NDA and everything i was working before starting that company is gone.

I need your advice guys, your opinion. What’s the best way to start making money in my situation quickly? By quickly I mean to be paid in next weeks, not months.

if I can help you with something, If you want to use my skills or knowledge, PM me, please.

Thank you, guys!
