Read again what I wrote: the point was to get the phones into the hands of hackers, so they would write apps and create that ecosystem to ultimately benefit people elsewhere. (If there's a place with a more active hacker culture than the Bay Area, let's bring the phones there.)

I agree with amyjess' point made elsewhere. A quality phone is the means by which you get people interested in a platform, particularly developers. I think that's what's happening with Android and iPhone, in that the first phones are expensive, but the cost is spiraling ever downward. I just would rather see a freer alternative succeed, and hoped FirefoxOS would be it.

It seems that at any given program either the residents are amazing and the fellows are mediocre of vice versa.

It's a common fallacy to want an older, experienced physician vs. a resident or fellow. There are exceptions like specialized surgical procedures. Generally speaking though, when physicians leave the academic environment they rarely get better. Residents and fellows (and physicians who stay in academia) spend a huge amount of time on education - it's built into every day they're at work. Things like case conferences, morning reports, and Morbidity and Mortality reviews.

When you enter private practice it is completely up to you to stay educated and current. Sure, you may attend SGIM once a year and read monthly journals, but that is nothing compared to the structured learning environment they left behind.

I will take a good resident at a county hospital over a private hospitalist any day. Even at exceptional Tier one hospitals the level of dumb shot that happens with lazy private physicians can be jaw dropping.

The private hospitalist is going to order some labs and consults, round on you once a day (maybe) and that's about it.

A good resident will discuss your case at length with their interns, co-residents, fellows, and attendings.

I use them as well. The only issue is that the DNS page is painfully slow.
For example, I'm working on a dashboard for wifi routers that displays information beyond what is provided by OpenWRT's ubus system. We're get this information from the kernel, but it needs to be converted to JSON to be consumed by the dashboard frontend. Right now, I'm converting the information to JSON using Go, but there are some platforms that Go can have problems compiling binaries for. We have also written a lot of C for these routers, but doing this kind of thing in C would just be overly cumbersome. Shell could be an option, but it is also cumbersome. Lua could be an option, but I don't know much about it and I don't know how well it supports JSON. Most other developers that will work on this don't know much Lua either.

mJS might also be an option. I don't really see what's wrong with that if we have the space for it.

This can probably get types from Flow, since it is valid es6. Flow has no compilation step or runtime component.

You may have a point about the debugging, but JS is pretty easy to debug by printing to stdout.

If some large number of those peer-reviewed journal articles' conclusions are (or appear to be) undermined by future discoveries having the raw data to confirm or refute such a development taking into consideration assumptions about the data that might have since changed or been proven incorrect seems like a pretty important thing.

Yeah absolutely, they're called negligent discharges for a reason and I wouldn't personally hesitate to buy a Glock.

However, there is a distinction in that the essentially safetyless, essentially SAO trigger system is fundamental to the performance of the gun's function, whereas the takedown procedure is more of a peculiar wart of the design. So those idiots end up shooting their walls (and potentially other people) for no reason other than that Gaston Glock didn't want to compromise on the parts count. Typical engineer, I suppose.
Virtually no economist of note has supported the move. The ones who did like Kenneth Rogoff, said that it was poorly implemented and India doesn't have the infrastructure to support a cashless economy. The above article that you linked to has selectively mined portions of comments by the Nobel Laureates out of context.
Calorie counts are typically adjusted; manufacturers don't typically just toss a bag of, say, Ho-Hos in a bomb calorimeter and use the raw numbers from Igor or whatever recording program happens to be around.

The usual macronutrient values (9kcal/g fat, 5 kcal/g EtOH, 4kcal/g carbs and protein) are surprisingly decently calibrated for metabolic inefficiencies.

They do not, however, take into account hormonal responses, which are probably quite a bit more important than once assumed. So there's that.

Hate to be blunt, but first of all, the things you pointed out are really common knowledge/common sense, and secondly, most of these are not necessary to be an engineering manager at all. 'No alpha' is something that even Warren Buffet has been talking about, and it doesn't impact any EM's job day to day.
It depends on whether you count "desktop" market share, "mobile" market share, or "both" (and if "both" how you weight it).
Yes, my interest is basically at a level slightly above the OS, not bare metal embedded or OS development per se. And the OS (at least Linux) will tell you which features a given CPU supports. It's just that the variety on the 32-bit side is so enormous, it's hard to be sure of anything. I.e. your particular chip might not even have hardware FP. With aarch64 even the lowest common denominator is better than just about any arm32 (modulo the specialized extra hardware the particular chip might have).

The article makes some excellent points. However I'm not sure I understand how acquiring Trello would save JIRA.

First off, I'm not sure that JIRA is in need of saving. IMHO it has grown to become a very bloated product which very few people really know how to use. If I were to pick a tool for project management, I wouldn't consider JIRA for one second. On the other hand, they have a fine game going in the enterprise segment. Enterprises value a bloated feature set because they pay up big money and because Bob in purchasing needs something semi-substantial to justify the high cost. Besides, Bob won't be using the product anyway.

Trello, on the other hand, would be favored by different types of customers. Small projects, small companies. It offers low pricing, has a small sales department and a large customer base.

According to Joel Spolsky, in his "Camels and Rubber Duckies" blog post (https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2004/12/15/camels-and-rubber-...), there is usually no middle road. There is rarely a segment for a mid-range product with half the feature set of the enterprise product and a far higher price than the simple product.

Which begs the question: What does Atlassian hope to achieve?

1) create some unified product which will cater to both the garage startup and to Bob in purchasing? Good luck with that

2) turn off Trello? That's what Darth Vader would have done but there is a certain amount of negative publicity to using the death star ray

3) Make Trello rot, either by

3a) stopping funding of Trello and let it become slowly obsolete

3b) sprinkling with bloated features, such as JIRA integration or what have we

Probably 3b).

Anyway, move Trello too much off its current trajectory and boom, some new startup will pop up, offer an "Import Data from Trello" feature and do things right. Trello is pretty simple by design, and the APIs are open. There is really no customer lock-in. I think Atlassian is smart enough to know this.

It's believable though. The most powerful military force on the planet chooses something your company makes to become the standard issue. It's hard to believe that wouldn't feel humbling. What a sense of pride that must give them. Do those two feelings cancel each other out? It's important to not try to frame everything you read based on whatever article was recently up-voted here.
Sigh. Clearly something has fallen down the hype cycle.
China is one of those countries where any non-Chinese-based news about them, even just a dry reporting of facts and figures, is considered bias and "hurting the feelings of the Chinese people." They cry bias so much that it just seems like whining.

There was one guy, Gordon Chang, who keeps predicting a complete collapse (not simply a crash, which is expected to happen from time to time) of the Chinese economy. Because his articles get published, the Chinese have now declared that western media has predicted a collapse of the China is imminent, when...if you search for China economic collapse, you only get Gordon Chang's articles, as well as the Chinese articles saying the western media has homogeneously predicted that. I don't know, perhaps they think western media speaks with one voice like Chinese media does, and fail to see the possibility that several viewpoints and opinions could exist.

Likewise, there are many things about China, like air pollution and internet censorship, that the western media fails to convey the full negative effects of. This is mostly a technical limitation, for sure, but people still come to Beijing and are surprised how bad the air really is along with the fact that they really can't use Facebook there.

In the past I've been hit it's the "non exe" permission and for a while you were able to bypass it by putting it in an archive file (Always found emailing myself files handy when I didn't have a thumb drive to hand), but they scan the file types of the files inside of archives these days so emailing a zip with a exe in it doesn't work.

I guess the same will apply for .js files which might be a pain when emailing a client a zip of the programming work you have done for them, but they do say you can use Google Drive to host the file and send them a link to the google drive download.

Mostly because they didn't think it through.

Man is an economic animal. If you want to see what purposeless leisure looks like, look at the underclass: rampant drug problems, animalistically promiscuous women, broken families, bastard, fatherless children, trash culture, and crime.

50 years ago, those people, except for the absolute worst of the worst, were productive, law-abiding citizens with intact families, functional homes, and a place in the world.

When a man is made economically useless, he ceases to be a man. He becomes just another useless mouth to feed, like an animal in a zoo, but unlike the zoo animal in that people do everything in their power to avoid seeing him.

This is why it's annoying to me that so many people use Messenger.

You know what I can use text anyone, anytime without having to worry about ads? My phone.

I feel like there's a downward trend of companies using free stuff to "hook" people and then just feed them an inferior product over and over and over again (more ads, etc). It's not just creating worse products, but it's creating worse customers (who don't understand actual costs when they see other products that are "free").

What happened to just "paying for x, get x." As a customer, I miss those business models and as a business, I miss those customers.

The coverage of China is very distinct too, this despite all the other propaganda ops they have going on.

The dislike for India is quite old, and entirely of a distinct kind... and India for shame is only too willing to be a plaything of the WASPs. The hatred that runs deep in the culture appears far more visceral IMO... not surprising that Humanities depts in the US would reflect this more markedly.

I'm reminded often of the picture of the देव-असुर binary; more amusing considering the ancient shared origins of IE people.

I've been working on a project called Aleph (https://github.com/pudo/aleph, live: http://data.occrp.org/), which is targeted at investigative reporters. It's supposed to handle a related set of problems, which is data integration of diverse public records and journalistic lead generation (i.e. what to investigate next). The road map for the coming two years includes some visual analytics similar to what I guess most people use Palantir for (we'll have to keep it very simple).

The big problem in NGO space is obviously finding engineers: we've got some budget for this stuff, but getting people to join us, work at a lower salary and then code their heart out (because teams are tiny) is hard.

On the fun side, you get to see your code applied to fighting real-world problems every day :)

> Only recently has Perl5 introduced real function parameters instead of unrolling @.

Yet there have been modules that support it for years, and with much more features than what was recently rolled out (which was meant to be conservative).

Here's[1] what I said about this quite a while ago. Named parameters with type checking (unfortunately at runtime). I've been writing Perl using different modules (Function Parameters) which use the same syntax for about six years now (for functions, not all the sugar on Moose objects).

> Flattened lists are another one

Flattened lists never cause me a problem. If they cause someone problems, I think they've never really learned what context is in Perl. Once you know how context works in Perl and had a chance to use it to good effect, I can't imagine this complaint persisting. Perl is fundamentally different than most languages in this respect, even if it looks superficially similar to more procedural languages. This is actually a cause of a lot of problems for novice users, because they assume their experience in C/Algol derivatives will map exactly, and where it doesn't people get frustrated.

> but the worst is having to specify "use 5.020;" if I'm using Perl 5.20

What? You don't have to do that. If you want to use newer features that utilize keywords which may conflict with whatever you've written or whatever modules you are using, then yet, you need to opt into those. Perhaps you would have preferred if it silently just broke?

> They've even carried this "tradition" into Perl6 where you have to specify "use v6;" at the top of EVERY damned script.

No, you don't. If you do, and you run it in Perl 5, it will automatically swap out the interpreter for whatever Perl 6 interpreter you have in $PATH though.

> Prefixing every variable with "my" is another one which found its way into Perl6. Why can't an advanced language have default lexical scope?

The requirement to define your variables is not because it's not lexical by default (it is lexical by default, you can use no strict to see). .It's strictness which is enforced, which has been found by the Perl community to be vastly preferably to automatic instantiation of variables because it prevents bugs, and prevents a lot of confusion. You have to define your variable, because the Perl community found that a more sane default.
