How  to Build a High Growth Career
Thank you for sharing your experience, it's enlightening. I'm glad you're in a better place now.
It's a conservative strategy -change from one generation to another will likely be moderated/averaged by the influence of the second X chromosome for female offspring. Alternatively, single copy governed traits (as in males) mean greater ability to adapt (at a higher mortality rate) and those successful remaining males can propagate their single X chromosome (new and improved, thank you) to their daughters. It's a cool pattern of balances, IMHO.
I ignored it because when you get into practical image making the difference in image related to depth is negligible compared to the image quality to cost ratio. My point was that a small sensor can have a use, telephoto compression as a by-product of a crop is pretty handy when you have very expensive primes you want to make longer, hence i only used L series lenses in my example. I forgot there is tie between mastery, artistry and pedanticism. Source: The studio I co-founded won three Emmys for image production (Game of Honor, StillMotion was the production company) and had great margins.
Can you develop on the "feminist agenda" bit? I assumed that you meant that women, envious of the male qualities of truth and honesty, try to push an agenda to undermine these. Am I right?

I'm developing a simple web analytics also (it's strange to see Mirrorshades here since I started developing something like it some weeks ago) and I want to know about referral spam: Mirrorshades per se doesn't have any better spam filtering than Google Analytics, right? The gain from switching to it is just because spammers still don't know how to spam Mirrorshades, or am I wrong?

There's also a lot of Modula-3 in there. Actually, the whole language is full of Pascal-isms, but I'm not sure how many come directly from Pascal and how many come via Modula-3.
I was under the impression that, due to the changes in the brain's plasticity, if you didn't pick up maths before a certain age you probably wouldn't be able to pick it up with ease after that. If this is correct, and she was older than that age, then there's a good possibility that there's not just IQ involved here.

Well many would argue that this is _not_ the strict sense of the word "hacker".

I'd take the obnoxious flashing over applications stealing focus.

If there was a single design change I'd make to Windows, it would be to make it impossible for one application to steal focus from another (without user intervention).

TweakUI used to do this via the "Prevent Applications from Stealing Focus" checkbox on the General -> Focus tab. But TweakUI ended with XP/2003 Server unfortunately.

To give an example, I was typing away in Word, really on a roll, and suddenly Apple's iTunes auto updater had focused ate an entire sentence and my concentration was destroyed. Thanks Windows.
FTR, Debian is like 80% reproducible
https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds

"Reproducible builds of Debian as a whole are still not a reality, though individual reproducible builds of packages are possible. So while we are making very good progress, it is a stretch to say that Debian is reproducible."

In my experience, if you have a single home made package in C it is pretty easy to make it reproducible
Yes, we use Asana and loading it up is just too painful. I wish they'd at least use service workers or something to keep it cached and ready to go.
yeah i have fever dreams of C and ML having some sort of super baby. rust and nim are close but not quite
No, I should have clarified that my comment was only about the San people, aka Bushmen. Those people are the closest to how humans lived for thousands of years before they wandered out of Africa.

I don't think other primitive peoples have designated leadership roles either, like we do, but I'm not sure.
It's not directly based on this style, but some of the samples in the article reminded me of AMS Euler.
That's not the only problem, or the most important problem. The most important problem of federation is that it generates lowest-common-denominator security. For instance:

https://whispersystems.org/blog/giphy-experiment/

This is how Signal provides Giphy search (spoiler: they tunnel a TLS connection through their own server, with TLS negotiated end-to-end from the Signal app to the Giphy server, so that Giphy can't tell what client is searching for what GIF while at the same time Signal's server's can't see what people are searching for).

Does anyone believe that in a world where 90% of Signal-network client installs weren't Signal.app, that this is how features like this would work? It's not an unknowable question. All you have to do is look and see how Signal's competitors, like Wire, tackle this problem.

It's true that in a federated Signal-network, you might get clients that have security features Signal itself lacks. But because it's far easier to produce an insecure client than a secure one, insecurity will dominate, and be a boat anchor around any efforts to improve security down the road.

Call it "the libpurple problem".
I see what you're saying now and quite like that. Thanks for clarifying!
I think the takeaway is that for anyone who is not vitamin A deficient, eating carrots will do nothing.

Vitamin A deficiency certainly causes poor night vision because the body cannot produce rhodopsin. But no amount of beta carotene will make normal night vision better, and therefore the article is not fake science at all.
+1 for the AWS Web Console. Whenever I open it I stare in panic for a few seconds as I try to understand where the one thing I'm looking for is.
Here's a trick I came across recently which I found quite neat: you can test for divisibility by 3 using (x * 0xaaaaaaab) < 0x55555556. Same concept works for 5 and 15, but sadly not other factors.

LLVM does not currently generate that code, but you can make a case it should.
As I understood, library hand would be something taught in a librarian course. It could be used at any library that an aspiring librarian would end up working at, but only a handful of libraries would be implementing a typewriter system for the library cards.

False dichotomy, it would have to be enemies of Christianity. I doubt you'd get over 1% or so worded the same way.
I'll happily concede the definition :) Particularly as my contention was that the definition isn't important in this case. I grabbed this narrow one from the dictionary.
As many of the comments point out it look like this isn't a compiler bug. The example code makes assumptions about the goroutine execution order without using the facilities (e.g. channels) that guarantee the right ordering. The use of atomic doesn't seem to be relevant.

The example code is what I call "works by chance" which I would contrast with code that "works by design". I think some people are trying to argue that a language should prevent developers from writing code that "works by chance" but I don't think that's actually possible. It's the equivalent of saying I want to be able to type anything I want into my editor and have it compile into doing what I think it should do... A "works by design" code here would be adding channel synchronization points between the two goroutines such that the desired execution order is guaranteed.

It's also IMO not reasonable to expect a new compiler to produce identical results to an old compiler. E.g. if the compiler does a better job your code may run faster (or slower) which may break something if you've assumed that something takes so long to run (e.g. some hard coded timeout in some other component).

At least the 1.8 compiler behaviour is deterministic. So code written assuming some particular value of a would either work or fail consistently. Previously you could construct some code that fails randomly.

Before taking a look at this I would encourage anyone to look into Michael Landy's Break Down[0][1][2], where the artist first cataloged and then destroyed everything he owned (except for a pair of overalls) including his vintage saab and all of his correspondence.

That work at least has the weight of a real gesture. The linked work seems (generously) fairly banal by comparison.

My biggest concern is who determines what is fake news? Seems as though people are now shouting "fake news" if a story doesn't fit within their belief system or agenda.

I don't think a voting platform is the solution either because you then get the herd mentality and it can so easily be gamed.

I am not even convinced that "fake news" is the issue. I am more on the side that our society has lost its ability to truly evaluate what they read or have any real level of critical thinking at all. If more of our society questioned what they read or even took the time to truly read things, I am not so sure this would be an issue. Rather, so many simply go by what an excerpt says in their Facebook or Twitter feed or what their followers are saying.

Edit: I know this sounds like I am trying to dismiss the problem. That's not my point. I'm trying to say the problem is compounded by the choice to bundle the solutions to several different problems. If people have criticisms I would love to read a reply. </Edit>

> We ought to have a standard version of the reject! code precisely because it's so difficult to get right.

No, it's easy to get right in any specific case. It's iterating over a dang list, it's the first thing you learn how to do as a programmer. It's only hard to get right if you're trying to solve it for every use case with a single interface.

Essentially: you are taking two different algorithms and trying two switch between them behind a single interface. Meaty if-statements behind flags are an indication this is happening. It's cool of you want that but put it in a library and give it a GitHub per.

An example: I don't use a library to merge attributes on objects. I cut and paste one of a few snippets or write from scratch. Sometimes you want to mutate an object, sometimes you want a copy, sometimes you want to shallow copy or keep a reference to the parent. I could write a nasty complicated function that intelligently solved "the problem". But all that does is bundle together a bunch of different solutions to different problems and make it hard for me to understand which one it picked.

Edit 2: I could be persuaded that what I'm saying is just not Rubyish. I'm a JavaScript programmer (after many years of Ruby) so maybe there's some truth in that. I do think that distancing ourselves from the mechanics of list manipulation can be bad for our code quality.

Hola! Patrick here - Founder of PriceIntel/ProfitWell. Why ProfitWell is free is actually a longer story, but the short answer is we discovered we could monetize more effectively (and efficiently) by giving away the metrics for free (while still being the only one on the market that's 100% accurate) and then selling add-ons like Retain (kills your delinquent churn), Recognized (Revenue Recognition), etc.

Here's our pricing page (with paid tiers - you have to scroll down): https://www.profitwell.com/pricing

If you're curious around the science/data that went into this (the longer story), you can check out a talk I gave at our SaaSFest conference: https://pi.wistia.com/medias/jdywlrpowl. We used our Price Intelligently software to determine market willingness to pay/feature value before writing too much code.

As always, let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help.
> I would argue, therefore, that Kim is one of us, and that we owe him our heartfelt - if conditional - support.

Kim Dotcom is a career criminal. Having been convicted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom#Investigations) of dealing in stolen phone cards, insider trading, embezzlement, and Ponzi schemes, he finally figured out that ripping off musicians is one profitable crime widely condoned in society.
Embedded Systems are quite varied these days. The one in the article sounds more at the high end of the scale. In more resource constrained environments, C is still the king. ( though I'd prefer something far more robust than C that works well on resource constrained platforms and cross compiles to ansi C ).

I think once your system is large enough, C++ is not your only option, many languages can be used.
An actual bank?
> The article seemed to describe a high speed native language with garbage collection. I guess that does seem similar to D, but D is much closer to any of the languages I listed with more than 15 years of development and a much smaller list of breaking changes. It also isn't anywhere near as popular as the three I mentioned.

Well, when you compare languages, you usually do it by feature set. Both Nim and D are statically typed, garbage collected, imperative languages with first-class metaprogramming features.

I'll also add that Nim has also about 9 years of development behind it. It's older than you think.

> Why does Nim get the attention that D does not? I think Nim only gets attention around here because its new and not because it brings anything directly useful. As long as it is still "new" there is still so much potential.

I see both Nim and D getting comparable attention. They both aren't mainstream languages, so coverage is mostly by enthusiasts and intermittent. People are interested because both are sufficiently different from mainstream languages, not because they suddenly plan to bet their careers on them.

> As for garbage collection, I think you are overestimating its value. There are great resource management schemes in both Rust and C++, and they can each manage much more than just memory. I am only qualified to speak in detail on C++, but if you simply avoid the "new" operator and automatically allocate everything (some say stack allocate), which is the default, then everything is cleaned up for you automatically.

This would be a long debate. Suffice it to say that for many people the benefit of avoiding GC is unclear. Both C++ and Rust manage shared ownership poorly (i.e. it being inefficient, leading to lots of syntactic noise, or both). Note also that I'm not saying that GC is always better, but that it's a differentiating feature.

As for resource management, RAII in my experience is primarily the consequence of poor support for higher order functions or equivalent functionality in a language. (The type of resource management that RAII facilitates is usually better done through higher order functions or a sufficiently expressive macro [1] system.)

> Further down the garbage collection route, if your app doesn't need performance then why not stick with Ruby, Javascript or Python, they are all well supported and provide tons of flexibility and libraries.

You seem to be have some serious misunderstandings about garbage collection. No, GC is not per se a performance drain, and adding the two orders of magnitude overhead that a typical bytecode interpreter for a dynamically typed language induces is not even in the same ballpark for even poorly implemented GC.

[1] And by macros I don't mean C/C++ preprocessor macros, but macros that are properly integrated in the language and its type system, such as in LISP, Nim, D, or Rust.
Can you give us some insight on the whole pesticide thing? How is it possible to detect it with a spectrometer in general?

Are you sure that it is impossible to detect it, even if the app is 'calibrated' to a certain object, e.g. an apple? I think if you limit the search space it could be possible!?

> One of the things I found incredibly surprising in America is just how much people do not like to move; especially those living in small towns to bigger cities

Most of them can't move. They couldn't afford any city housing.
This would be a huge improvement. Still it remains somewhat ugly that you can specify a heading anywhere inside a section (not just at the top).
So what is the right way to do the same thing? Use `select` and get new array included elements we want to keep instead of using `reject!`?

Ray Cronies, the author of hypothermics.com , did 24 day fast while properly measuring what body uses for fuel. It turned out that it was only fat with no any significant muscle loss. This matches from what I read experience of people doing even longer fasts for medical reasons. The moment when body runs out of fat reserves happens after about 40-60 days of fasting when one starts to feel very strong or even uncontrollable hunger.
> One of the things I found incredibly surprising in America is just how much people do not like to move; especially those living in small towns to bigger cities

Most of them can't move. They couldn't afford any city housing. They are often economically trapped in their situations.

I'm interested in the four identical toques in different colors. Minimalism certainly doesn't seem to be the goal - why are there four? Is it a collection of designs that have earned their love? Are they really nice toques? Can we infer something about the owner's gender (probably bald, probably male)? Or their location (far north?)

How committed to hipsterism is this guy? The "Raw denim jeans" - 4 pairs in varying stages of fadedness, but all of them definitely raw denim. Is it the "Little Prince" theory of how your possessions own you as much as you own them

"Hipster" isn't a precise enough term. How hard are you guys relating to this individual, purely through the stuff he's got? You can see that he lives in an apartment in a cool city, thinks of himself as practical as well as aesthete, probably thinks he's a rugged individualist too, but he's put a lot of effort into fitting in with a very specific demographic.

According to the article, the drought is the main reason as they couldn't afford to flood the fields at the start of the season which would have controlled most of the weeds otherwise. And there's no reason to believe that cattle would only eat what you want them to or wouldn't trample some of the younger trees.
I've always read that there is no reason C++ cannot be used in any environment where C is used, assuming the compiler exists. There is nothing about C++ that makes it less resource-sensitive than C, and in fact with C++14 there is a tremendous amount of computation (including some instance methods!) that can be done at compile time! Scott Meyers shows some of this in his presentation at various conferences on embedded systems. It really opened my eyes to how useful templates can be in tight systems, and those don't exist in C.
