do you happen to know how 'vacation' is defined? would it include national holidays?
Personally, the biggest concern I would have with school choice / voucher policies is maintaining accountability and quality standards.

The recent fraud investigations in the USA for-profit college market (eg where several scam-ish type outfits churned out expensive but useless degrees to people lured in by slick marketing) absolutely shows that, sometimes, more options can be worse.
One very important factor which hasn't been mentioned yet is the amazing educational infrastructure in Switzerland. There are truly world-class research universities, well connected business schools and a plethora of well-staffed technical colleges and vocational schools/apprenticeships.

Fees don't even reach $2k/year to study at undergraduate/graduate level and children are encouraged to think vocationally from a young age.

Also, teachers are very well paid (my partner is a high school teacher and starting salaries are $6-8k/month) and have to undergo 5 years of training (to teach a subject at high school level you need a master in the subject).
"This app is incompatible with all of your devices".. :( I have a Note 4. What sort of device do I need?
> In Haskell, I come up with a coherent skeleton without having to implement mundane details, hit a wall in the design space because of some case I didn't think of, come up with a better idea and then go back to the code and refactor with confidence. The type system always guarantees that my prototype is coherent as a whole. And I can do that dozens of times.

Could you go into a bit of detail about this approach? Do you mock functions out and just specify type definitions, and fill in functionality as you go?
There is also a fair amount of xenophobia inherent in the Swiss national identity. I know Germans who have lived there for 10+ years and are still considered outsiders.
While I agree that it's possible to write maintainable in kdb+, I'd argue that it takes noticeably more effort; or, as in inverse, if you drop your coding standards things get worse faster. I'd say the same for regex as well (though in a more limited sense).

The "characters to clever/unmaintainable" ratios you achieve with k (which most kdb+ platforms end up reaching for at some point) are almost unparalleled. A famous example of how awesome/powerful/ridiculous k can be is the "4 lines of K" text editor: http://www.kparc.com/$/edit.k

I guess my point is that letting your guard down, for even a single line, can be orders of magnitude more trouble than it would be in most languages and for that reason I wouldn't base a new stack on it. Also, the developers for it are rare-ish and expensive + it has a serious learning curve for those unfamiliar with FP or Lisp.
All I was trying to say that the current round of executive actions are being taken for businesses and without regards to effects on workers, but you put it more succinctly.
Windows 10 Game Mode: Free FPS boost of a few percent, with more to come
I don't think complete segregation is the answer, but within a given school, I believe there can be more malleability. In general, the idea of which class you end up in being more skill based than age based. And not everyone is better at every subject. Having it per subject allows someone to go further in math even if they struggle with some other subject.
Given that everyone lives on a browser and the most outside of that they usually need is a browser, a dedicated media player and a PDF reader, I installed them Linux and cut tech support down to a single call so far: A 5 year old install that needed an upgrade to support a 3G modem.

No license management needed.
It's not exactly a citation, but high school culture ("that which sounds cool should be done") doesn't exactly lead to the best of all possible places.

Looking for symmetric universal moral principals sort of does seem to. Though I admit basically no form of government seems to head in that direction, as founding documents post-revolution are not really a form of government in my model.
Only if you confound "dumb kid" and "problem kid". Certainly, get problem kids out of the equation, but that doesn't mean there isn't some benefit to different cognitive classes coming into contact with one another.

If for no other reason, you don't want the cognitive elite going through life never knowing that the rest of the country are reasonable, functional people instead of fools and rubes.
Many of those things are not "public goods" by the economics definition (see my reply to a sibling).

> You expect there to be... That's why it's not slavery. You are paying for those things that damn near everyone agrees they want.

If those things are important to me, then I will pay for them. Just because someone else "expects" certain things doesn't mean I do. Everyone manages to put shoes on their feet without the government. And charity could certainly take care of the rest without shoes.

Taxation is not a prepayment for services rendered. Or an insurance policy. Or a usage fee.

> social programs ... I agree with you there that is slavery

Excellent. Then let's agree to move in the direction where government only does the "public goods" stuff. Once we get there, we can disagree again on how far we want to go.
Yeah, I hear this argument a lot - "There is a reason why FB, Twitter, etc. is not invented in EU".

Well, TBH I don't give two about those companies. Also, what did average American citizen got from those companies succeeding? Probably nothing.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather have good work-life balance then unicorns that do not even change my life.
> When you start looking for this shit

You tend to find it, even if it isn't there.
My parents have three (living) chestnuts on their property (I guess the blight missed them because the trees have been there for a very long time). Those chestnut burs are a real headache. If you ever make the mistake of stepping on one, you'll be pulling needles out of your foot for a while (imagine stepping on a sea urchin). Cleaning them up is also a pain (make a mistake and they'll go straight through leather gloves). I can't imagine if 4 out of 5 trees I saw dropped those things.
> Taxes aren't the government stealing money that you willed into existence out of thin air, you're paying to live in a society built to protect your wealth.

Well, the Mafia do protect businesses which pay them protection money, too. Sure, you have a (single) vote for a few legislators and an executive at the state and federal levels to influence the IRS, but the influence of your vote is probably less than your shared humanity is an influence on a don's enforcers.

There's a question of the extent to which the government's (or the Mafia's) taxation is commensurate with the services it renders, but they're equally involuntary.

(and yes, government is necessary, and preferable to lawlessness; that doesn't mean that everything it does is right, nor does it mean that it's voluntary, any more than the execution of a convict who doesn't physically fight every step to the gallows is voluntary)
No one has any passion for deadlines, slavery is getting old fast. Passion, that's it. Write code that makes your heart pound, and share it openly. Leave the suits to their own misery.
The probability of you having significant controlled influence on the fate of the world is much higher than the probability of total meltdown of society necessitating a stockpile of guns and bunkers and your preparations having a significant controlled influence on your experience of it.

So no, focusing on the actual problems is actually less foolish than "doomsday prepping".
All this whinging about compile speed ~LOL~

I remember when software development was a gentleman's game and we looked forward to sharing a half hour together in somebody's office or around the railing or coffee pot to exchange ideas and news while the build finished.

Scala is good. Its not perfect, its not appropriate for every situation, but its worth learning and using.

Go has an anachronistic feel about it that is just, well, ugly.
The Dow is a bad index, but if it's the warmest year ever, we shouldn't focus on all that's wrong with the Fahrenheit scale.
Just to clarify, you're implying that the teleologically sound course of action is to simply await the sounding of the trumpets and then get on your knees, clasp your hands and close your eyes, right?
In the last 15 years, I haven't encountered many coders or organizations that produce code that think machine code or bytecode is significantly "secret".

The sentiment I mostly encounter is:

Secrets are things that are encrypted.

Compiling (to bytecode or machine code) is just a way to let different kinds of "machines" read the code.

(Paranoia seems to amplify that attitude)
So awesome. And maybe the tunnels will only allow self-driving electric cars :)
Everyone dies.

It's slightly foolishly arrogant to prepare for a doomsday scenario that fucks everyone else over when it's far more likely that you'll get killed by something you never saw coming - like that car coming down the street.
Work on the project will not be done just because it has launched - the opposite is true, after the launch you will be needed more than ever. Leave now.
I ask them to design a structure for a card games that uses a standard deck of playing cards, and how they would implement shuffle (not the algorithm itself) and dealing and hands. This is simple. People manage to grossly over engineer it.

My ideal response would be one struct with nothing but a suit enum and int value. A deck is just an array of these, as is a hand. But usually people start with a deck class, then try to reuse that for the hand, discard pile, etc. Things get complicated quickly, just like in real world problems, and a good architect can keep that in check while still providing useful abstractions.
Nice!

And yet a few people engaging in a struggle to the death sure can inconvenience all the folks trying to help their neighbours.
If you choose to give up your life in the pursuit of liberty, that's great for you and great for us.

But rights are things that circumscribe government actions, not individuals. A government's first job and most important job is to safeguard the lives of it's citizens. Liberty is it's second job.

I suspect the real reason for this is that security is easier to define and agree on than liberty is. Ditto for property vs liberty.

Yes, but you can carry over one week for up to five years. (I know people that does this and takes 10 weeks vacation in one stretch at year 5).
To add -- a better comparison in the open-source world might be Zipkin or Pinpoint, which aim to offer similar tracing capabilities with language integrations.
Then separate out the problem kids, not the slow kids.
Not profane, but condescending nonetheless and not appropriate in a professional/code review setting.
>How exactly would we lose the electric grid?

That doesn't scale.

Most top schools have general admission for undergrad programs.
It's nice that you like C#, but I don't see how that's related to the parent comment. You certainly cannot argue that C# does a better job at all mentioned tasks than the languages the parent listed.
I think you are projecting. It's an ultimatum: "choose which company your loyalties lie with". The two times I've reached the point of delivering that ultimatum the developers showed up. If the person is not that committed they're going to be gone anyway in three to six months which is far more expensive in my experience.

That said, I've also given developers another week to wrap things up, more time because of illness and family obligations, and a couple more weeks to start when they asked because "they were still burnt out".

It's not like I throw my hands up and the first road block and shred the resume.
Even if you were to create a special "school for smart people only" and magically teleport all geeks there, I wouldn't be sure it would eliminate the problem of geeks being bullied. Bullying seems to be an emergent thing that comes up naturally in the sort of environment a school is - as long as kids have a "hierarchy of popularity", there will be some people at the bottom of it, and those are your bullying targets.

Being a geek is a reason to find yourself at the bottom of the hierarchy, but so is being overweight, wearing glasses, being shy, being in a religious minority, etc. The particular reason doesn't matter to the bullying process, it's a free variable. I'm pretty sure that a school full of geek kids will find their own reasons to bully some of its students.
Is it nil or null or None?

Is it -eq or == or ===?

Can it be undefined?

Is it / or //?

Is is "".format() or "#{}" or "${}"?

And that's before we get to language idioms, common libraries, package managers, build tools, lint tools, compilers or VM configurations, etc.

There's a reason people try to use a language in as many areas as feasible.
This phenomenon is not new, but it has become common enough to get a name: “Open Core”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_core
> If you want speed you go to any other scripting language (other than Ruby).

Ruby has historically had the same issues. Most Pythonistas I know aren't so evangelical. It's mostly a question of how to go about integrating C/C++ code.

Many people complaining about the GIL (and the like) have some naive microbenchmark, don't understand the trade-offs/limitations of their runtime etc. That doesn't mean critique isn't important and required, but it's going to be better when it's properly researched and improves on the body of work out there (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obt-vMVdM8s).

> Transpiling it to another language like Google did, shows that the underlying technology is not worth much.

How is this any general indicator of the worth of the language?

It shows for some cases, that Google thought this was a worthwhile investment. Google has experimented for a long time with ways to improve how Python code can be run. They ran the Unladen Swallow project, but spent more time on LLVM issues at the time making it infeasible to continue the project.

They'll discontinue one path and try another. None of this is really a commentary from Google on CPython, the community, or the value that it has for most people. The people working on this stuff interact in a pretty friendly basis.
People rarely get put in jail for tax evasion, and never for simply failing to pay.

The vast majority of people who do not pay tax--who steal from the rest of us--simply have it taken from their accounts or paychecks by the legal machinery we've established to do so.

And again, garnishing paychecks or withdrawing from accounts is not theft, because it is not your money.

Remember, by definition, your tax obligation is not yours. It never was. Keeping it from the rest of us is stealing from us.

And last....

"So what portion of your property do I have a right to? Which part of your home or possessions may I come and direct to my purposes? Or to "the rest of us" even? May I go to your fridge and distribute some fruit to your neighbors or to the homeless? How is a claim to income different than a claim to your other property?"

Great questions! That's what the democratic process is for, for us to settle those questions. Right now, we have one set of answers to those questions. We won't always, because laws are always changing to reflect the society that writes them.

Hey, if you reeeeeally hate taxes, maybe you can make some pamphlets and get enough of us on board to vote in your new tax-free system.
Mixed reasons Java/JVM environment (applies to Clojure, Scala, Groovy, etc):

1. Dependency management done right. Maven and Grade simply blast away most other dependency management systems. So yes, the code may be longer to write than other languages, but it's very easy to reuse code that's already written (by you and others)

2. Plenty of high quality third party libraries. Thank the enterprise, thank Android, thank whover you like: they just exist.

3. Stable APIs, libraries, and language. There have been very few occasions where backwards compatibility was broken in Java, and those were mostly very complex edge cases that occurred quite rarely. Nothing like py2->py3 btw. Sometimes slow is not so bad; it means you don't need to fix your code every 3 months because something changed upstream.

4. API/Interface first. Java encourages modularity and composition; J2EE may be a monster since it's comprised of dozens of interfaces, but it actually makes it very, very easy to "swap out" a single component with your own implementation without needing to rewrite/fork a whole library or framework. The way most things in Java work and interact are perfectly documented and standardized; combining even tens of different libraries is easy, you don't risk that each author has a different opinion on 'the right way to do it' that makes it not compatibile with the others.

5. Excellent tooling. Java IDEs are really advanced and can perform error-free refactoring and other operations on large projects.

6. Works on many platforms, in quite an expected and homogeneous way.

A Trial and a Twitterstorm: On Live-Tweeting from a Federal Courthouse
The grid would probably be there, non functional. It takes a lot of effort to maintain and you can't just exclude some capacity and hope the rest works.

If parents perceive the public school is not providing suitable services, and the private school is, then the public school finds reason to correct the deficiency - competition works.

And if the private school can't handle the inundation, then there's incentive to either expand capacity and/or another school adapt/open to share the load.

What I learned reading The Art of The Deal is his MO:

Trump: "I have a problem (e.g. Wollman Ice Rink) but know nothing about this topic. Who is the best company that makes ice rinks?"

Makes a few calls to hockey teams to find this information.

Learns the name of the company.

Calls CEO of the ice rink company.

After 15 mins of conversation, learns that freon-based ice rinks suck the monkey and that brine-based ones last forever.

Total elapsed time: Probably an hour.

Hires ice-rink company to help with Wollman Rink.

Project completed in four months and under budget.

Elon isn't very clear about what he is going to use these tunnels for. I would not be surprised if he was thinking bigger than cars and put a hyperloop in it.

Well, hang on.

Firstly, Brexit hasn't happened yet, and nobody knows the plan. Every time the PM asserts something about where we're headed plan-wise, the markets tank. Once Article 50 is invoked, you'll see GBP slide and FTSE will get... interesting. Because a lot of the FTSE is made up companies with a lot of different EU dependencies, it's hard to call where it's going to go. But it's not likely to be good for most investors.

As for Trump and the stock markets? Well, suggesting an "immediate crash", that was silly.

Right now though, the US is in the same place as the UK is with Brexit: nobody is quite sure what's about to happen. He's made a lot of promises that he might not actually be able to keep. If he does, it's likely to cause some serious mayhem in the markets. Not least: he's specifically said he wants to devalue the dollar.

Just let that sink in for a minute: the sitting President of the United States of America got into the Oval Office by promising to lessen the dollar's buying power and value.

The hope then is that this will make US shares more favourable to overseas investors, imports more expensive promoting internal trade (and therefore jobs), and therefore US business more worth overall.

Will it work? Who the hell knows? None of us. And that's why it's too early to call those predictions of decline, wrong.
Dutch secret service tries to recruit Tor-admin
For me nullable type expresses something semantically different than Option. Option is a higher concept expressing optionality - duh ;-)

- contrived example - it might make semantical sense to express Option[Option[A]] as a type, it does not make sense to have wrapped nullable types (except as a result of nested function calls).

Nullable types feel like a bugfix to null, Options fell like a concept to model business domains. Same as None expresses something different (not there) than null (usually e.g. in Java conflating not there with not initialized).

With Option it also makes sense to have flatMap, for comprehensions etc.
so when this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleportation#Science says "It is not possible to teleport macroscopic objects such as human beings, ..." does it mean impossible per laws of physics or that we can't do it with today's technology? Because if it's the latter, let's say it costs 1T to develop the tech to do so, I'm betting the ramification would be > 1T to the overall economy almost overnight (communication and transportation are the biggest drivers of several things, one of which is the economy, IMO).
