I have made several relatively large systems using Redux, and it has become a necessity in order to handle complexity of new features. Overcoming the initial cognitive load takes a week or two, but as your system grows, your productivity and code organization is greatly improved. I also recommend Immutable for handling the state object and reselect for computing your container state properties. Those technologies together are a pleasure to develop with.
Perhaps I'm reading this wrong but he would have done better just sitting on the coins rather than trying to trade them.

He claims with his method he started with $100 and bought Bitcoins valued at .05 which means he could have bought 2,000 BTC at this time.

He claims his method netted a profit of roughly $20,000.00. BTC is trading at $1143.00 right now.

If he would have bought those 2,000 coins and sold them right now he would have proceeds of $2,286,000.00, essentially all profit as it started from a $100 investment. Plus he'd be paying a long term capital gains tax and not the many short term taxes he'd have paid by day trading BTC.

I suppose buy and hold would have been the better strategy.
This sounds like ACS
I've wondered about just that. I bought $11,000 USD worth of BTC (in cash, at a local bar) when it was at $7. I thought I was extremely lucky when I sold them not too long after at $30. If only I had held onto them I would be dealing with the same issue you are (although, arguably, it's a nice problem to have).
(I did not read the entire text)

A great many of the security issues that we are seeing in computing are mainly due to fundamental, architectural decisions (it's probably in the text), but it's not as if there is no choice. We had and we still have hardware and architectures that are not memory-oriented and don't use memory-protection, but are fundamentally object-based and use object permissions (i.e. ACLs), enforced at a hardware level. It's just that when these were introduced they were complex and either too expensive or too slow for the mass market, hence simpler architectures prevailed (and no one could've expected otherwise) in the mass markets (desktops, laptops, mobile, computer servers).

The difference between these approaches boils down to memory-oriented systems being fail-open, information-dissemination machines, while object and permission oriented systems are meant to be fail-closed, information-protection machines at the hardware level (before adding millions of lines of C code distributed across rings -2 to 0).

Note how successful information security nowadays tends to be based on similar principles, e.g. SGX or the Enclave on iDevices — the main processor and the main OS are so completely and fundamentally untrustworthy that you throw in either another completely separate computer, or strong-arm (some pun intended) protections at the hardware level, e.g. encrypting memory so the host can't read it, since it is physically unable to access the key.

Breass Paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braess%27_paradox

Removing shortcuts within a system can make the system more efficient.

Induced Demand/Traffic Evaporation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_demand

Build it and make it easier to use will generate more traffic. Remove it and the traffic just vanishes. Traffic Evaporation surprises many planners. The problem being that they assume traffic is just like water and must go somewhere else. Traffic is intelligent movement of individuals and people shift modes when one mode becomes less efficient either in time and/or money.
Yeah, the real thing is "The only code that must remain secret is one that concerns the business logic".

Ie. Facebook has open sourced React, Cassandra, HHVM... but they will never open source the code that powers the newsfeed or the friend list.
Session with Andrew Josuweit, CEO of Student Loan Hero
car sharing works less well for getting to work because everyone else is trying to get to work then. You may as well own your own car for getting to work because you pay for all the costs anyway. All car sharing buys you is fixed maintenance costs on your car.

Car sharing starts to make sense when you want the car outside of rush hour. Want to go to the store for an hour at 2:30, no problem there are plenty of cars free. Want to get to work every day - you are paying peak rates for a car that will probably be used exactly twice that day, once to get you to work and once to get you home.
Can you go into a bit more detail? You're running Windows and Linux on Mac in a VM with graphics acc. at almost native speeds? Or on Linux running Windows, and possibly MacOS when (big IF) Nvidia releases Pascal drivers? If it's on Linux running Windows - I'm all ears.

Why not Africa for Africa. Infrastructure for Africans. Jobs for Africans, network effects as technology use and extension takes off and salaries rise and hopefully lift up those who can't take direct part in the digital economy yet.

No offense to you or Israel, but it would be nice to see African interests managed somewhat "locally" whenever possible, with the benefits accrued and distributed locally as well. I think that's a future many people hope for, and it's nice to see an effort towards that direction where possible.
>Why would you expect me to live in the middle of nowhere when I can live in the greatest cities of the world?

I mean, I don't expect you to do it, but personally, I like to save aggressively so that I can reach financial independence sooner.
True, thanks for the correction. The point that I wanted to make was that all the efforts underway around the world at their current magnitude are not gonna make a dent in the greenhouse gases generation curve.
For a society, it seems beneficial to spread the wealth out a bit so there's development throughout the country. IMO, our government should be focusing on improving society instead of corporations.

Curious how many of y'all have seen Casey Neistat's workbench explainer vids and his comments about the Mac Pro...

In so many words he uses it as a data management interface for his many TBs of external hard drives and that's about it. This struck me pretty hard in framing my opinion of what the Mac Pro really is to those who have it.
> debt significantly hurts your chances of buying a home

60k in the hole still from undergrad loans. The thought of taking out a mortage after this debt is finished is not appealing. "hurts my chances"? Sure, that's one way to put it.
We'd do just as bad, but differently. Time makes fools of us all.
I am using a 2010 MacBook Pro 13" (2,4 GHz) as my everyday development machine with macOS Sierra and Xcode. I maxed out the RAM to 8 GB and replaced the HD with an SSD 3 years ago.

Some travel is discretionary. High profile disruptions in road capacity tend to result in a reduction in discretionary travel.

But this doesn't mean that all travel is discretionary, or that road capacity can be reduced by an arbitrarily large amount without causing traffic bottlenecks.
I generally agree that you should think about what you're doing even if you're told to do so.

That said, for someone 18 years old without a lot of life experience, when you're being told to go to college, that you need a college degree to succeed by just about everyone, and being bombarded from all sides with that message...might be a little difficult to really think otherwise.

I'm fortunate that I went into a good field and didn't come out with too much debt, but I don't even want to think of what my family would have said if I questioned the need for college my senior year of high school.
It's not important where I can put it - the act of designing something that should be placed on a desk prevents them from designing what I want. A Ferrari is a desirable sports car and a terrible cargo van.

It sounds to me like you're doing it right; I don't think we disagree. Don't know why you're trying to explain 'taint' to me - the 'viral' nature is of course the primary moving part in the GPL.

I also fully understand that not everyone/thing can be GPL. I'm not religious about it. I've contributed to open source under several licenses, and to proprietary applications.

But the fact remains, if you don't like the posted rules, don't play in the sandbox, just like any other license, even if you really like the toys.

And really, asking people to comply with a license is nothing like attempting to force beliefs on people. It is asking them to follow a legal agreement. Or do you think I am endorsing Larry Ellison's political views because I'm covered by a licensing agreement with his firm?

Hm, I don't trust those Hollywood movies. They are always about how money doesn't make you happy, but the producers are probably laughing about the poor people paying for the movie tickets all the way to the bank.

If they didn't contribute to climate change

I think here's where you're going wrong. There's a difference between "is caused by" and "contributes to".

It would be internally consistent to form an argument that supposes an alternate root cause, e.g., solar activity cycles and cycles of the Earth's magnetic field. One can state that these natural problems are (hypothetically) the root cause, while still acknowledging that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and thus decreasing our CO2 emissions - even if we weren't doing anything naughty on our own - might serve to mitigate the damage expected to be caused by those long-term natural cycles.

Did any of these kids (and I am one of them, graduated in 2013) stop and think that paying 50-70k a year after room and board to attend a university was insane? I had the option to go to a nice university, and maybe my horizons would have been expanded, maybe they wouldn't, but at the end of the day I am happy where I ended up and I went to community college for 2 years, and the public state university, for the remaining two., driving 1 hour to college from my parents house. Crazy I know. I lived at home! I ended up with 1/16th the debt of most of my cohorts.

It's fine if these kids were just doing exactly what they were told or people sold them on the koolaid, but generations prior also had to navigate the diverse world of snake-oil salesmen and people hyping up things and overvaluing them -- you can't beat teaching common money sense. Simple math. Teaching personal finance should be in inserted into middle school and taught all the way to graduation.
This question doesn't seem very relevant to knighthoods. Whatever would be appropriate to call someone as their given name, rather than family name, would go after "Sir". It's not very complicated.
Right, so why is everyone surprised that businesses don't like GPL? More power to the user = less power to the company. Companies don't like to give power to the user - they like to be in full control of UX.
Audio user here too. I just updated to 10.12.4 yesterday on a test install and it went without a hitch, but only because I checked Tonymac and updated Clover beforehand, which I wouldn't have done otherwise. And I'm on a old GTX 650 Ti that doesn't need the Web Drivers. Meanwhile my main 10.9.5 work install keeps gloriously chugging along.
Well, other than R, I've never programmed in a functional language before. I programmed Javascript in my High School intro to CS class back in 2004, but I can't imagine I could pass a test based on that alone.

Fizz Bizz is stupidly easy, but I honestly don't think that much of programming is hard in the first place. The hardest thing in my mind is designing a coherent program. You could add any requirements you'd like to your made-up language (no automatic garbage collect or reference counter, etc), but I think you'd be able to tell pretty easily if they were the real deal.
>> Fans of the Mac Pro have been waiting four years for this announcement, and are likely to be waiting another one or two for any real movement on the problem.

The troublesome thing with this article is that even if Apple put out a Mac Pro with the latest and greatest guts in the old cheese grater chassis today, pros would be extremely happy. FWIW, I still think the cheese grater chassis is a great design.

Sure, design matters, but the livelihood of pros depends on their ability to get sh!t done. Just giving them access to "less pretty" hardware that does what they need today is better than making them wait another year or so.

Of all the Macs, the Mac Pro is probably the easiest to design. What people basically need are modular-PCs that can run OSX on the latest hardware and gives the user choice with respect to GPU manufacturer. There's less of a need to make it the smallest possible computer, because smaller makes it harder to do upgrades.
Windows does have a C# compiler by default. It is located in the `Windows\Microsoft.NET` folder. Not very discoverable, though.

And starting with Windows 10 a metro app called 'Code Writer' seems to be installed by default for coding. (At least it's there in my installation.) I didn't try it though.
Most security issues we are seeing today are simply a consequence of economic decisions. Omitting security gives one an advantage in time-to-market. "Security can be dealt with later."
> but someone please explain why having an absolutely fundamental ability to edit text and securely connect to work and transfer data to/from remote machines is something that any OS should be shipping without?

The ability to edit text _does_ ship on windows - notepad. (not that I'd recommend it but it does exist). Also, OSX doesn't ship with anything better.

FTP isn't a fundamental requirement for everyone, I don't have an FTP client installed on my machine, and don't have any intention of installing one.
Emmy Laybourne's Secret Weapon of Storytellers
The Firefighters' Guild has been formed and dissolved repeatedly throughout the history of Ankh-Morpork. Usually formed in response to fires which cause significant damage to large parts of the city, the guild is usually dissolved in response to... er, fires which cause significant damage to large parts of the city. The Guild suffers from the undying capitalist spirit of Ankh-Morpork, as those men who are paid per-fire extinguished eventually begin to guarantee a regular supply of fires to be put out (see also Inn-Sewer-Ants). This has led to the frequent destruction of large portions of the city and ultimately to the Guild's being banned.

Seems we need lots of new ATMs, lots of them. And then prayer, for the fire-fighter-guild to not run out of money.
I think your observation comes off sample bias. BBC articles come up on hacker news more than those from other national broadcasters mostly because he's in English and has regular reasonable articles on technology.

I made a wrong statement. PowerShell is a great shell! I want a shell and gnu chain from coreutils onwards within Windows. Babun takes me close, but not close enough. Namely it's slow as hell, 64-bit is no really there, and it's cygwin. I'm one of those "runs Vim and writes their own Makefiles and uses GCC and stuff like that doesn't like cygwin" guys.
Even in 2014, I'm not sure what the takeaway was supposed to be from this, or why this was an article that needed writing. Was it the author's concern that laypeople felt computing was too reliable, too secure? The real problem is the opposite one.
> seems to be that Apple do not understand their "Pro" audience

As a few people have noticed (Recall Arment and possibly even Gruber pointing this out) for a while now almost all their Pro user footage used in advertising and announcements has either been photographers, directors or people sketching down ideas on iPad Pros.

Kinda seems to be ignoring the intersections of creativity and computing that the original Mac pioneered.
I think that shows how important e-mobility is for the consumer.
I agree, the taxpayers were pretty stupid for taking on the risk that kids wont be able to pay on their student loans. Too bad for the taxpayer!
OpenOffice removed a bunch of GPLed code. As a result, it just does less than LibreOffice. Why work on a less functional codebase?

I don't know if that's the reason why it didn't pick up, but generally I think of code that goes to the Apache Foundation as going there to die. The foundation seems to receive abandoned code that nobody wants to maintain.

Apple Says It Is “Completely Rethinking” the Mac Pro
Wow, Go. I've been listening to a podcast about that "Go time on Change log" I hear a lot of great stuff about it "2000 servers to 2" for example haha, 25,000 concurrent requests per second or some crazy thing.

I would have thought this was a common thing. I am interested thanks for offering however I can't really contribute/possibly even use it as I don't know how to use Go at this time.

Good luck though with it, I think Go by the sound of it will be even more popular than it is now. I mean they even talked about hardware-control with Go. It sounds incredible.

I'll keep it in mind though but yeah outside of my scope at this time, unless it's not difficult to integrate into what I use right now which is LAMP stack on a single-core VPS. Pretty pathetic I know but I domain map. Probably not related but I have a raspberry pi server with Cron (actually working cron) as well that I look to use for prototyping.
Yeah, lol, how low is low? how high is high? I mean this got to be the most meaningless sentence ever.

Realistically, the colonial era and Brexit were symptoms of two totally different issues. The greater British empire disintegrated in much the same way as those belonging to the Dutch, French, and Spanish. Brexit was the result of the EU being very dependent financially on England (and Germany etc) but it wasn't an issue of England disintegrating, it was the EU falling apart (and if you like a little conspiracy for breakfast, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics).
If they were really serious they would make an open letter or they would write out to their Mac Pro users personally. That way their "openness" would actually make sense and they would show they really cared.

Pushing this to a little elite group of bloggers is just an amateurish move on Apples part.
My experience is that "conservatives" will pick whatever argument they can get away with when it comes to climate change. Depending on the context the same person might argue:

1. Climate change is a hoax.

2. Climate change is real, but natural.

3. Climate change is real, caused by humans, but beneficial.

4. Climate change is real, caused by humans, harmful, but attempts to fight it don't help.

5. Climate change is real, caused by humans, harmful, can be fought successfully, but the cost isn't worth it.

I too would like to see more productive discussion, but it's hard when every discussion on the subject is flooded with people arguing in opposition to the facts.
