> No, demand is characterized by the quantity demanded at a given price.

Okay. So, every formalized definition I could find more or less echoes this one:

"Demand is an economic principle that describes a consumer's desire and willingness to pay a price for a specific good or service. Holding all other factors constant, an increase in the price of a good or service will decrease demand, and vice versa." – http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/demand.asp

But you are telling us that demand is evaluated by interest across the entire price spectrum. Therefore, holding all other factors constant, an increase in price does not change the demand at all, as those holding firm at the lower price are still demand.

Whose definition are you using here?

> Not by just saying it, but you could post a want ad for programmers at $1/hr in order to investigate the potential supply of programmers at that price.

Does your definition of demand always require that the buyer be so formal in their investigation?

> but that just means there's no supply of programmers at that price, not that there's no demand.

Which, by your early definition of shortage meaning demand exceeding supply, means that virtually everything is in shortage. The demand, as you call it, at the price of free is almost infinite for any desirable good. That leaves shortage to not seem like very useful terminology whatsoever. Why even bother using the term shortage at all when we can infer that almost everything is in shortage?

And what is special about the shortage of developers that warrants all the media attention? Especially in light of the severe shortage of Ferraris, which I frequently see people expressing their interest to buy at lower prices in these discussions. I never see in the news calls to fix the Ferrari shortage, nor do I see any government intervention to try and correct the lack of Ferraris being produced.

> Now you're assuming that there is supply--programmers available at higher prices

I'm not sure where you got that idea. We have acknowledged right from the beginning that price can stop rising. That's kind of the entire basis of the discussion.
Firm That Helped FBI Break into San Bernardino iPhone Gets Hacked

I was hoping for a list of games which teach programming. These are more games or competitions that use programming (which is still pretty fun, but different).
I know it's too much to ask really, but I'd love to see the history of the individual commits. I'd be curious to see where it all started (is it all greenfield or is it built on top of a previous game concept perhaps?), and would love to learn what decisions and challenges a developer faces while working on a game like this.

That sad, this is just fantastic, thanks a lot for posting!

You've got it a bit backwards, they still show a pub glass icon.

It's for inspectors to see that it's a pub license, which is more expensive than a home one.

The volume in the glass changes daily so you can't just put a sticker or overlay on to replicate it.
Not really. Channels have a single function, to transport data to the first available consumer.

With observables, there's a whole world on top of that. The simplest observable, when subscribed to, will cause the producer of content to start the production. If 3 consumers subscribe to an observable, then the producer will do it's work three times, once per subscription. Compare that to a channel, where a producer has no way of knowing if a consuer is available. Generally, they start the work immediately and try to stuff the result in a channel, regardless of whether there's a consumer on the other end. Moreover, when another consumer uses the same channel, you have two consumers fighting for the same result.

And since observables are transformable, there's a plethora of operators available (at least in rxjava). If you take the previous example, you might want to share the observable, replaying the last result, so that regardless of how many consumers subscribe to it, the producer will only do the work once, and the consumers will receive the same results. It will be quite a bit harder, though not impossible, to implement the same thing with channels.

There's not enough detail here to really comment. I can say that Haskell has the best software transactional memory implementation out there, thanks to purity and controlled side-effects. Haskell's explicit handling of state also helps provenance and keeping state managed / in the database.

Janwillembs Law of Headlines
Why are you coming up with "scenarios"? It's illegal to rebroadcast a copyrighted show, which is what he was doing.

Ignorance of the laws of copyright doesn't make it any less illegal.

Also he'll be in civil breach of his cable contract too, which will have a rebroadcast clause in it.

Streaming on Facebook is rebroadcasting.

I can't understand, with even the most basic knowledge of copyright, how you can think it's not illegal?

The guy was a total idiot, he will be fined, probably very heavily given he continued after being asked to stop and being informed that he was commiting an illegal act. Maybe even jail time.
How much did the best gym cost? I was previously looking at one $150/month, but that's obviously too much for someone with no income.
there's more to the story than that, even. there's also the part where old CRT monitors had nonlinearity of similar exponent (or maybe its inverse, I can't find the details of it quickly on mobile). newer display technologies emulate this nonlinearity so they can be compatible receiving the same signals / data. (someone correct me if I'm wrong, I feel like I am not being 100% exact here)

But the point that remains today, is not the bits (as shaders work with floats internally), nor the response curve of a CRT (because almost nobody uses those any more), but the fact that the physics calculations of light operate on linear quantities (proportional to an amount of photons), so you better do those in linear space.

Then at the end you must convert to perceptual space, which can be done in a number of ways. I'm not sure how much of a win replacing one pow(color, 2.2) with a sqrt is, at the end of a fragment shader. Especially when the pow(color, 2.2) is already a quick approximation by itself, there are much fancier curves to convert to perceptual space (that don't desaturate the darks as much, for instance).
"“I think therefore I am”, the famous phrase uttered by renowned Philosopher Rene Descartes was perhaps one, if not the most, fundamentally flawed philosophical statements of all time (sorry Rene). To assume that I exist and I know that I exist because I think thoughts, sends us off on a dangerous trajectory where we believe that we are our thoughts"

1. This is a wrong assumption, just because Descartes concludes thinking proves he exits does not mean Descartes believes he is his thoughts.

2. There is nothing in what Descartes says that is "fundamentally flawed" let alone "perhaps one, if not the most, fundamentally flawed philosophical statements of all time"

The lack of having a career is terribly depressing. I get whiplash from the conditions and being treated as a non-member of the team.

I highly recommend you guys try and grab a copy of "Skunk Works" by Ben Rich which is a fantastic story about Kelly Johnson and the Lockheed facility that built the SR-71, U2 etc.

Ben worked alongside Kelly, and said that the guy had an unerring knack for designing aircraft. Ben (an aerodynamics engineer) would spend days designing an intake, and Kelly would come along and take one look at it and say "That is 20% too big", and sure enough, when Ben went back over his calculations, he would find it to be about 18% oversized.

Another great book is "Sled Driver" by Brian Shul - probably one of the best aviation books I've read (and I am a former pilot).

Sadly, I believe both books are out of print now, but you may be able to find a copy somewhere second hand. I've seen "Sled Driver" on eBay for about $3000 from time to time!!

It has a mostly-compatible API but strict conformance doesn't seem to be the goal here. If your application does not make use of obscure features provided by core http (it could probably be refactored to do without anyways), then it's a free boost in performance.

One place where I think ads are incentivised to be good is the starting ads on YouTube videos which have the "Skip" button. Once that button appears, if the ad is interesting enough, I keep on watching it. That means they have to work to make me want to see it. Jiggling belly fat won't do.

I also sometimes get email spam ads from a forum I use. But the advertisers buy access to the mailout directly from the forum owners and the forum owners personally screen them to make sure they're relevant to their audience.

I worked in the cloud at MS roughly 7 years ago, and Bing was very different from anything else. The MS cloud services were a total mess. I mean, as in hard to overstate how bad. In contrast, Bing was a well-oiled machine. Simple build, simple deploy, simple devops, simple test, very consistent processes across all of their teams.

At the time, Azure was a joke (partly due to the fact that the initial teams were headed up by ex Office devs with no cloud experience, if I remember correctly). But Azure was cannibalizing the Bing team pretty hard. I hear that strategy worked and that Azure is in much more capable hands now.
This just sounds like it's drastically lowering the difficulty because then people don't quit so easily.

And I'm sure that's true ... but makes the situation worse by making it hard for even people who would make the higher difficulty level to find the knowledge in the first place.
> As http sockets in µWS build on the same networking stack as its websockets, you can easily scale to millions of long polling connections, just like you can with the websockets. This is simply not possible with the built-in Node.js http networking stack as its connections are very heavyweight in comparison.

I'm a bit confused by what's going on here. Are you saying the network stack required to do websockets is vastly superior to the network stack of http, and hence using a websockets network stack in http calls can produce superior results? (I didn't know the underlying networking would be different and any clarity would be helpful).

I'm not really understanding the differences but it is definitely interesting nonetheless.
Mobiloitte: Dedicated PhoneGap Application Development Company in India
Maybe we should get rid of databases (or limit them to reporting).

Back in the days they were mandatory since memory was expensive and you simply had to access stuff from disk and needed something that made it reasonably efficient. Now memory is so cheap and for quite many business applications it would be feasible to keep everything in memory. SSDs with GB/s level read speeds would enable restoring the stuff back to memory in reasonable time in case the cluster goes down.

I think the whole database thing also caused major issues on the object oriented side and actually stopped people from really using OO (or getting benefits out of it). Instead of building intelligent and smart objects it is easy to end up with objects that are just containers for data.

Probably there has been thoughts on how to do this, one old project I remember is Prevayler[1].

> I personally wish the code was just written cleanly and idiomatically.

PBRT fills that role nicely IMO.
What I mean with this is that any connection (socket) in Node.js builds on net.Socket which builds on uv_tcp_t which together requires a significant amount of memory (bloat).

A socket in the networking stack of µWS is far more lightweight (which already has been shown when it comes to µWS's websockets). The "HttpSocket" of µWS is about as lightweight in memory usage as "WebSocket", which is far more lightweight than net.Socket in Node.js.

One million WebSockets require about 300 mb of user space memory in µWS while this number is somewhere between 8 and 16 GB of user space memory using the built-in Node.js http server.

µWS is a play on its "micro" (small) sockets.

I have a copy of "Skunk Works" and it is indeed a great book. Amazon still has it for under $12[1]. And seeing as it's quite popular, most large libraries should have a copy as well.

It's great that you brought up "Sled Driver", I'm actually currently saving up to buy a copy. Brian Shul still has new copies available on his website for $250[2]. I think the copies that go for very high prices on eBay are the first editions or some of the special commemorative versions.

May I ask your opinion on the print quality of "Sled Driver"? I know Shul is a photographer, in addition to being a former SR-71 pilot, so I assume the photographic print quality is quite high. Have your read his companion book "The Untouchables"?

This is only acceptable if you think the United States governs the world. See 'Extraterritorial Jurisdiction'.
It sounds silly, but if you don't like typical American salads, try picking up some leafy greens from Asian supermarkets. I've found that I'm really into Tong Ho (chrysanthemum coronarium), green onion salad with a bit of soy sauce, Bok Choy with lots of garlic, and raw spinach + arugula....but I can't stand iceberg lettuce or really any vinegar on vegetables like almost all American restaurants have on menus. Because of my tastes, it wasn't until I had an Asian girlfriend with a great cook of a mother that I actually started enjoying veggies. Hopefully this helps at least one other person out there who has had bad taste experiences with salads and doesn't eat enough greens because of it.

Whole Foods and other places also have some quite good-tasting protein/smoothie powders which have lots of green content. I've also found that aside from not minding the taste of wheat grass (when mixed with citrus flavors), it makes me feel noticeably "fresh" and "well" for a few hours after ingestion. Try it!

On the first two points I agree with you. Those are good community guidelines here. However, HN is allowing many political threads lately and it's out of order to single out someone for political comments you don't agree with. Nowhere did I make troll statements and that's not something you are capable of substantiating. No government is perfect and beyond criticism and you should not attack someone for having the bravery to be a political dissident no matter how scared or biased you are.
