In theory you can learn everything that an MBA program teaches through self study. In practice it's tough to get more than a superficial understanding of the subjects without actively participating in class discussions, working together with other students on group projects, and taking exams to really measure your knowledge. Autodidacts are often overconfident and missing key knowledge because no one ever really challenged them.

The size of the MBA pool is somewhat self limiting because the coursework is kind of a grind. None of it requires any real genius but there's a lot of it.

Your third paragraph reminded me of this article.
Well currently name resolutions are not encrypted and I don't think it is technically possible to encrypt them, so we definitely aren't good. Asking everyone to route through a CDN is a bit impractical as well.

a good follow up article if you're interested: https://www.teamupturn.com/reports/2016/what-isps-can-see

Even a tiny bit of data(think DNS name resolution) collected over a long period of time can be pretty invasive to a persons privacy.

Generics in Swift
A wonderful article in many ways. Kudos. But...

I think the title should read "secondary" or "resultant" or "follow-on" or maybe even "chain-reaction" (maybe) but NOT "second order" - as there's nothing meta about the run-on consequences. Just "future" would do.

Not least because second order or meta-computation will likely have to be incorporated into autonomous car design. Such cars shouldn't be programmed to do things that are perfectly legal but outside the ability of human drivers, thus startling the hell out of human drivers, or literally colliding with their well-worn habits (habits based on past behavior of other human drivers, not ideal machine behavior.)

For example, my too-quick reading of the recent Uber accident suggests that the car did something perfectly legal, but which a human wouldn't do, because we can't react to the color of a traffic-light changing within nano-seconds, and so create edge-case decisions and behavior. To prevent such accidents, either the machine or the designer of it, has to do some second-order thinking which models what humans can and can't do with a car (cognitively) in order to help the autonomous car fit in with and be more predictable to human drivers. It's no good for an autonomous car to drive legally in a way that's so unusual it just about guarantees a crash with a driver who's never seen that done before, such as predicting light changes with extreme accuracy and then exploiting that, or reacting to a light change far faster than any human ever has or ever will. (These human-friendly "features" could be dropped once humans are legally barred from driving on public roads, of course.)

I can't swear I'm guiltless, but, to return to the original point:
The general rule is, that if you use a word "because it makes you sound smart", you are only sounding smart to someone more ignorant than yourself, or equally ignorant. You risk proving yourself both ignorant and pompous to everyone who actually knows the meaning of the term. So please don't appropriate technical terms. (Note that a quick google may not rescue you from this fate if a degraded usage has already begun to spread.)
Exactly. I used phaxio with a group-ordering side project I built a while back, there really was no better option for getting/confirming orders to restaurants reliably. Love that Twilio is doing this (even though I'm out of the food-delivery business!).
Shapeways or Materialise get quite expensive if you have many models to print. I 3D-printed a hardware prototype on my own recently. The cost was $5 in materials versus $40 for Shapeways.

I would still go the latter route if you have only a few prototypes to print as there is a learning curve in finding the right print temperature, time needed to sand down and refine the parts, etc.

And of course, there's nothing more exciting than, "Right here, right now."
We shouldn't make as stable constructions as other engineers, for very good reasons: they're building things out of concrete, iron, and steel that are meant to last for years doing a very predictable job without alteration after their initial construction. If you don't get it 100% right before you close up a building, it's going to cost millions to go back and fix it.

As programmers, conversely, we build text files that are expected to change every day as the business needs shift, and we know up front that most of the code that we write will not survive as-is. Speed of iteration is far more important than getting things right the first time, and the cost of a delay in the name of building something right can be much higher than the cost of refactoring the simplest solution that can possibly work once you actually need to (YAGNI is not something you'll hear very often in physical engineering fields).
I think it's a user survey you could have put on the web and maybe posted a link to HN? I'm glad you're enthralled but it's a 7923498713-posts-long random wishlist, for the most part. It is promotional spam.
My goal in writing this book was to give an introduction to new programmers, with functional style as the default and without reference to prior knowledge of an imperative language I wanted an interactive book where readers could try things out. Since ClojureScript is a good vehicle for functional programming and is self-hosted, it seemed to be a good choice.
I don't get the logic behind your battletested thought.

Generally it might be true that finally python 3 is now the default for new projects but that doesn't mean that there will be a switch to python 3 as default enviroment. There are still a lot of base libs which are not ported to python 3. Most often nobody has interest in porting them. Some are, but then often as a complete rewrite, which are not backwards compatible.

Until Python 3 is the default env it will take a few more years.

I'm almost wondering if we may ever end up in a situation where someone who is constitutionally unqualified to serve as President winds up becoming Vice President, so the Speaker of the House effectively becomes the President's successor.

Maybe if there's some bizarre brokered convention where the delegates agree to put a certain person on the party ticket as President if they agree to effectively leave the role of the President's successor to Congress by naming an 18-year-old kid (need to be 35 to be President) as his running mate.
Every German company with more than 500 employees is required to have 1/3 of board members elected by the employees. Above 2000 employees it's 1/2. For these, and smaller companies as well, there are more requirements to allow participation in the decision-making process "on the ground".

It's hard to measure the effects, but it's generally thought to have at least lead to less-bitter labor conflicts, because there's constant communication between the parties.

Idiotic article.
I knew I was forgetting things!

The library has an extensive DVD collection (TV, movies, etc), CD collection (music, etc), script collection (plays and other theater), sheet music collection, music practice rooms, and of course, a foreign language collection for all the kinds of media.

Oh! And a collection of maps, covering both a large geographic area and over time so you can see the evolution of local cities. (Actually, 3 map collections -- US government Dept of Interior/USGS, other broad scale ones, and then a special collection for local ones.)

Im pretty sure I'm still forgetting things. The library system is actually kind of awe-inspiring in what they manage to collect and archive. Once you consider their relationships with local university archives, other cities, and county level systems, their total system is staggering.

I could never say enough good things about the library, and it's one of the best civic investments we make because it does so many things at once.
Why are you launching here and not on a facebook group dedicated to such market? There are also instagram micro influencers (less than 10k followers) you could also leverage...

Not being a hater but launching here seems silly from the POV of marketing. This seems like something that would get traction rather quickly if pushed in the right context.

Trust me. Put ads on facebook with your target demographics and search IG for women of color with a good amount of followers. That stuff works like magic.

Edit:

If you email me I can introduce you to one such group that has a lot of active users and is led by a black lady. You can pivot from there.

Just realized my comment makes me sound like a huge dick. Not my intention. Im excited about the product and wish you the best of luck. I do feel strongly about marketing it (even if not my own project) and that made te words come out too strong.

Podcast on LLVM, Compiler Engineering, GPUs (Embedded.fm)
I'm curious too, since the max resolution appears to be 220x220 on a 2GB GPU in my testing. If that is a linear relationship, it seems like it would be ~ 1080x1080 for a 12GB GPU.
It seems apparent that you have never worked in a (traditional) union shop. Management still has power, union bosses have power, but union members end up with two bosses instead of one. Your coworkers aren't going to be able to help you vote out the shop steward who sucks because that is going to be the only name on the ballot.

But carry on with your starry-eyed idealism.
mainly because the CLs aren't clojure i.e. AFAIK don't use persistent data structures, and don't focus on robust concurrency primitives, don't have STM, etc...

But if there is a CL out there that does all that I'd give it a try tonight :)
I remember having to do something similar in college. I think the first time we had to do it in C, the second time we had to do it in C++ and make it OOPy. No GUI was required but with such a simple game it was possible (I think some students did it for extra credit?) to strap a GUI on top once the text based version was done. That might give you an idea of how to proceed. I was fortunate to have been programming before college but I was always amazed at how lots of those who made it to their junior year and beyond were basically as productive as me for school assignments despite only really starting to program in college. I still remember struggling with the syntax of the for() loop in PHP. My struggles are different now (and mostly related to modifying code that already exists rather than creating fresh new code) but struggle is a good sign that you're learning something. Just be careful it doesn't turn into never-ending masochism!

I don't understand what the value is in writing a new original microkernel from scratch in this day and age when sel4* is free and open source, performance tuned for 20ish years, is security hardened, and is provably correct for both security and features?

We Can’t Keep Ignoring the Bay’s Housing Politics
It's definitely not as integrated into Vim as in Emacs, but I use Vim exclusively with Clojure and have no real issues with it. For ClojureScript, Figwheel automatically hot reloads on file save, so there's no interaction with the editor at all. With Clojure, either lein-ring automatically reloads as needed, or I can eval the changed file in an open REPL with Fireplace.

Making sarcastic and condescending comments is not the same as being “blunt”. Your original post was basically the textual version of an eye-roll emoji.

Some unsolicited advice: if you assume that your interlocutors are reasonable and intelligent adults who disagree with you because they come from a different background and have a different perspective rather than because they are idiots, you’ll get much more value out of conversations.
Hard to decipher what you mean. Maybe you want to say, that is already the default, but as this is obviously wrong you probably want to say, that Python 3 is kind of default now. Which might be true for new projects, but this doesn't have anything to do with the default env for servers. So maybe you did already messed up your server with a python version default change and you want to express that this can not happen to you anymore.

> Does anyone knows if there is a REST variant that allows to send/get associated resources nested on a single call?

Json API has standards for how to do related records.

http://jsonapi.org/format/#fetching-includes

> I think the option to bundle things on a single call is wonderful, but GraphSQL seems much more complicated to implement than REST.

Not necessarily.

I find GraphQL easier to write and consume but harder to handle errors and pagination. Plus caching is impossible in GraphQL without client-side special code. But I use node.js which has avery mature GraphQL library. If there isn't a library for your language it would be very difficult.

If done properly there are actually a lot of rules to doing REST. For example, that JSON you put is not REST because it doesn't have Hypermedia.

Of course, REST has the benefit of requiring no external libraries except HTTP. And no one says you have to follow all the constraints of REST (though I recommend it).

Trump Russia dossier key claim 'verified'
Interesting — I found that given the amount of stuff that I actually needed printed, I am still below the cost of a decent-quality 3D printer. Also, I would not be able to print what I needed with a desktop FDM anyway, and I figured I will save time by not having to fiddle with 3D printers myself (usually the cheaper the printer, the more fiddling is required).

So, that's interesting that you found otherwise! Please definitely write more about that.
Dennet's argument is simply an inversion of the causal chain: i.e mind is not the causer but the cause. "P-zombies" is kind of a non-starter when you think about it. I think LessWrong's essays on it shows that, here is one passage:

"you can form a propositional belief that "Consciousness is without effect", and not see any contradiction at first, if you don't realize that talking about consciousness is an effect of being conscious. But once you see the connection from the general rule that consciousness has no effect, to the specific implication that consciousness has no effect on how philosophers write papers about consciousness, zombie-ism stops being intuitive and starts requiring you to postulate strange things."

I was in New Jersey once and was trying to catch a cab to a hotel. I had no US cash and needed to use credit card. Cabs in New Jersey apparently don't accept credit card. At the airport I had to buy a check for $10 or $15 at a machine using my credit card. When I reached my destination I filled out the check for the driver. It was linked to my credit card and charged later on.
You think the CIA did it instead? Other than it maybe being technically possible, what evidence or motivation would they have for doing that?
Obama took unilateral action with Presidential Memoranda instead of Executive Orders.

"Like executive orders, presidential memoranda don't require action by Congress. They have the same force of law as executive orders and often have consequences just as far-reaching. And some of the most significant actions of the Obama presidency have come not by executive order but by presidential memoranda."

I disagree with your list. You put "bad faith" posts as one of the things a troll might do, but I think trolling must always be bad faith. I post aggressively, insulting, inflammatory content with some regularity (not proud of it), but it's never bad faith. I'm never doing it "for the lulz". I don't necessarily think I'm any better than a troll in those moments, but it's not trolling.

It's only trolling if you think what you're posting is funny.

I model you a bit like my father, who grew up in a Soviet satelite state, if he had ended up in the US instead of a country with strong socialist history: he will argue for free education, basic income, national healthcare, nationalization of infrastructure and resources (all of which are pretty socialist ideas), but will immediately revert to referring to kolkhoz and aparatschiks if any politician or activist openly endorses socialist views.

The main point where I will agree with you is that USSR and FORCED anything is wrong. But what would be so wrong in expanding and evolving the cooperative model and letting workers owning their companies become the norm? To me it is all about making that the more efficient way to run a company, so people do it voluntarily. This could be accomplished by changing some of the laws regarding liability, taxation etc to reflect their intended purpose (or by going full way to corporate personhood and making something like a transnational impossible, i.e. if you want to do business in that country, you need to get a "corporate passport"). The current US system is broken. USSR was broken. Let's try to mix and match and add new things. Marx was probably right in his diagnosis of the fatal tendency of capital to consolidate and turn free market capitalism into crony capitalism. The efficient solution to this seems to be the german, scandinavian, canadian mixture of the two. Heck, even china on the more dystopian side "works" because they combine the two
