I am not sure if they still teach it, but, when I did CS 15 years ago they told us about computing in the 70's (maybe 60's too ? not sure) when every computer manufacturer had proprietary languages/OSs/systems on there platform. Once a company had invested years and millions of dollars they basically had you in a trap. They raise the price, you had to pay up. Everyone saw that this was a terrible trap and they started standardizing the languages (hence ANSI/ISO C/C++ etc) that could run on multiple OSs. Woo Hoo, great job guys.

Now what RMS did with open source took this to the next level. Now there is so much control in the hands of the programmers and end users. You can keep stepping into functions until you hit the metal while debugging. Its fantastic and so much better than the previous opaque proprietary libraries of old. Any kid can modify whatever they want. I feel the young people today using npm, pip etc don't really appreciate how different a world we program in thanks to RMS. Had the dev world stayed on the 70's path we would be in a very different place that would have a fraction of the apps we see today.

Now, this lack of history is starting to come back around and bite us. I year and half ago I was on a project that brought on a new manager. He announced that the company was switching everything to Salesforce. He based his decision on the fact that Salesforce throws good parties and he had been invited to one. I looked into it and at the time you had to develop using a language called lightning that was a strange mix of java and sql that, surprise surprise, only ran on their proprietary platform. Because I am now the old guy on every team I spoke my mind and told them this was an obvious trap and once we go down this very expensive road it will be very difficult to get off. The manager guy looked disappointed and said he understood what I was saying. In an effort to get me on board, and missing my point entirely, he got me invited to one of their parties (which had half decent wine and great food and I did not say the phrase "this is an obvious trap" even once, I swear (but I did think it)). Long story short, I quit the job in disgust at their tech choices. (in fairness to SF, I heard near the end that they were switching to javascript, so they may know they need to be more open source)

RMS should be very proud of the fact that no sane programmer in this day and age would ever use anything other than open source. We need to teach tech history to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
Asking why Britain did not follow the same path as much of Europe in the early part of the 20th C is a worthy question but this is an oddly ahistorical article. The rise of the New Liberal government didn't happen by accident as the article seems to imply, it happened in response to social conditions.

The fact that Britain took three years to win the Boer War (largely because the army was unfit to fight) was a national scandal, and gave birth to a national preoccupation with the condition of the working class.

Independently of each other, two wealthy British industrialists, Booth and Rowntree, published two surveys into the state of working class life in Britain. These found that 30% of people were living in poverty, and that the conditions were such that people would be unable to pull themselves out of poverty alone.

While the rest of Europe engaged in a great battle between Marxism and Imperialism, British politics set about trying to improve the condition of the working classes.

Political revolution has also never really been the British way. Almost all of the major institutions of British society (including arguably the trade unions) are under the pall of political conservatism. One of the reasons why the recent Brexit has been such a surprise is that Britons have never been given to overthrow the whole system.

Politics in Britain pre-war was also intensely local. Most people lived and died close to where they were born, people were even more parochial than they are now, and most people saw what was happening in Europe as completely distant from their lives.

Politics in Britain pre war may have held some of the conditions for fascism, but it was never likely due to a multitude of reasons never addressed in this article. Also, it was a strange kind of crisis for conservatism - the Conservatives went on to dominate 20th Century politics in Britain.

Why is the PIN so important? It only protects a very narrow scenario: your card has been physically stolen, you haven't noticed yet, and the thieves try to use it at a physical location which verifies the chip (some places still let you swipe...). The chip itself protects against cloning and if you've notified the issuer that the card is lost/stolen they'll cancel the card number so it will become worthless.

Humans being social animals isn't just some generalization based on "how my mind works", it's a basic fact of our species. Yes, there are some outliers (i.e. hermits and recluses), but the vast majority of people benefit from daily social contact. This is how we evolved as a species and it's how we are to this day. There are plenty of scientific studies showing what happens to socially isolated people: They get more stressed out, anxious, and have lower life expectancies.
I'm sorry, but it is.

Things have been slowly improving in the past couple of years, new bakeries are opening, EXPO had its effects, but we're still talking about small niches and not the typical Italian bread, it's more all grain, cereal, black, whatever is popular abroad.

For example in Milan it is impossible to find good (not even great, just good) michette (that we call rosette in Rome) even if they were invented in Lombardy.
A hint ...

The only role of the gelatin in the panna cotta is as a thickening agent. But this is not the only way to make this delicious dessert.

If you want to experience a less chemical taste, the gelatin can be effectively replaced with egg whites (which on the contrary also contribute to the flavor).

To thicken the mixture of milk, cream and sugar, flavored with vanilla seeds/pod, you might add the egg whites to it. Cooking does not change.

The result is a softer cream, with a wide-ranging taste.

First, the parent poster was referring to the book being well written, not to the set of practice problems from an entirely different book. Thus, your "horribly written" comment comes off as a non sequitur.

Second, the subset contains k elements. The phrasing "select a subset S containing k of these elements" is standard mathematical terminology. I'm not sure how you read this as meaning that each element needed to be less than k.

Right. So you're saying the French single payer system works, with political modification as needed over time.

The issue that might make single payer difficult in America is we don't trust our political system to manage good programs, because the GOP is committed to destroying government (to benefit the super rich) rather than trying to get things done.
Alternate explanation is that the nurses are unionized. Simply filling up a cup of water may result in a greivence against the hospital. More than likeli the Dr. is instinctively covering his ass.

I'm an engineer. I can't carry a part from one lab to another. Must have a hourly paid union member do that. If I'm caught and they file a greivance, the company has to pay them 1 hour of my salary, then I get chewed out by management. Most of the hourly staff don't care, but there are a few that are hell bent on doing as little work as possible and looking any excuse file to a greivance.
I think it comes down to this: with Elixir, you gain a lot over Ruby and lose very little. Any Elixir app will be significantly more performant and reliable than its Ruby counterpart. This is due to several reasons:

- Elixir runs on a battle-tested virtual machine, and stuff like supervisor behavior (e.g. auto-restart of crashing processes) is built right in

- Elixir is a functional language, which makes the code you write more testable

- State in Elixir is immutable, which greatly reduces the side effects of running code

I used to develop in Ruby circa 2014-2015. It will always have a special place in my heart, but to be frank, I don't really miss it. Elixir, as a language, is better in almost every way. And once the ecosystem becomes a bit more mature, it will be unstoppable (OK maybe not really, but it's definitely here to stay).
It seems more a well researched article on whatever Italian bakery is available abroad, but certainly not a realistic description of Italian food variety.

Being Italian, it's always a bit funny to see Italian food being described from outside. The article is missing some important points about Italian bakery. In Italy you can find "panifici", which sell both savoury and sweet baked products, from pizza to bread to biscotti and other sweet non-refrigerated cakes. You can also find "pasticcerie", which sell only sweet products, both baked, frozen and semifrozen, from cakes to pastries to meringata. Finally you can find "gelaterie" which sell mostly ice-cream based product, but also other frozen and semi-frozen products. The selection given, thus, is misleading because it's leaving out a huge selection of similar products which are majorly important in Italian cuisine, starting with gelato based treats.

Furthermore, Italian cuisine is strongly regional. Bakery in Naples is completely different from bakery in Genoa or Venice. The article presents a subset of items from some of these regions, but is in no way a complete or realistic description of what one can find in Italian bakeries. Some examples here (this is really a tiny subset!): http://www.dissapore.com/grande-notizia/i-migliori-pani-ital...

I understand the article doesn't claim completeness, but they are presenting a glass of water and calling it a sea.

Ok, now this is just being obtuse.

Parent post said single payer encourages checkups.

You said "but there are still people that don't get checkups in Denmark".

Those two points are completely orthogonal. Single payer encourages checkups, yes. Still some people​ won't get them, yes.

Drop the sophistry.

Not only do people in tech misuse the term but they put way too​ much weight on innovation.

Every company innovates. Innovation is not a synonym for revolution. No one buys innovation.

If your job doesn't require college, then pretty soon it won't require a human either. The more brain required the longer you have until a robot or computer can do it better.

That's nice. But until then, having to re-learn idiomatic Swift every major version, and having to comb through all of your source code to ensure it's still doing what you expect in the new version (automatic migration or not) is a lot of extra effort that you simply don't need to put in with Objective-C. And another nice bonus is that you get to shave off about 10mb of swift runtime from your .ipa.

replace 'italian' in your post with chinese, french, american bbq, new californian, brazilian, arab, mexican, etc, etc, etc.

but of course, the cuisine you understand the most personally is the one that is most persecuted, right? the one that everyone gets wrong, because it's so nuanced and special, more special than anyone else's cuisine, because don't you see, italians invented civilized cuisine, you heathen?

welcome to how the world interprets regional/national cuisine. it's all wrong. none of it is correct, because it is a foreign understanding. italy is not special in this regard.

All I'm saying is that if you think about it. If somebody asks you where to buy good bread, you probably have an opinion. If somebody asks you where to have a good espresso or a simple pasta dish, you probably know one place where where it's excellent, but expect it to be good everywhere. With bread it's different.

> It's not hard to to do it manually for a single svg, but having to track the namespace and match them back to the right svg element via url fragments is cumbersome in a real world site.

Ah, I see. Yes, you're right. Additionally, the HTML5 spec is written such that FuncIRIs won't work in about:blank, making it impossible to quickly test svg gradients or patterns in Firefox. (But it works in Chromium for some reason, which is nice.)

I think the Snap.svg framework gets this right-- it allows the user to specify the gradient with a single string, much like the "d" path data.
A few remarks:

1. The name of the website is confusing which is different from being unrelated to the subject matter as would be the case with a random made up name. Probably does not matter right away.

2. It is not immediately clear how the site protects the user's documents from being read by employees/contractors etc. of Ducument.

I am curious about the technologies used to insure document security and malware protection as well as signature verification.

Good luck.

I think the author of this post is making the same mistake that a lot of other people (particularly smart folks) make whenever they are thinking about the ills of modern education system and what can be done to improve it. Like Peter Thiel and others, I don't think they understand how and why students are failing in classrooms today.

Take for example the author's suggestions on how school systems can be improved:

Create a set of free, online high school and college degree programs that any American could enroll in, and pursue at their own pace.

Can you really expect high school students to perform well in online classes? The most elite companies in the valley have correctly found out that remote doesn't work (in most cases)... and yet we're going to do remote with our students? I took online classes when I went back to complete college at an older age... it was the worst mistake of my life. As a human, I needed the social imposition of a disappointed teacher telling me that I performed poorly on my test, I needed the camaraderie of students with whom I could study somewhere. Online classes, especially at high school stage are very bad (perhaps with the exception of "gifted" students who probably would benefit from being in a fast-tracked line).

At age 13, give everyone a $100k education voucher.

You're giving too much credit to students, they don't know what is best for them. This $100k will be exploited in some way by profit-seeking companies before you have a second to glance back at the money.

Legalize and normalize apprenticeship contracts.

I agree with this.
>"Note that these are Italian bakeries in New Jersey, not bakeries in Italy."

Indeed, these are not not places where you go for breads they are Italian- American Pasticcerias(they tend to be in the Northeast of the US - NJ, NYC, Boston etc.) You go to these for a coffee, some cheesecake and conversation or for a box of takeout pastries. Most of them don't even sell regular bread just sweets. You could probably write a separate article on Italian bakeries in the Northeastern US though.
Ah. Not sure what name that has in Sweden (I think just: "Fullkornsbröd"), but having worked at a Norwegian company (or three) I did experience that kind of bread in their Oslo-based company canteen many times over the years (during my 40 visits or so). It's really good with Nutella. :)

But really.. I think this all comes down to the fact that there are a lot of different ways to make bread around the world. In a way I think it's good that not every taste/texture combination is readily available everywhere - it makes travelling so much more interesting.
Designing robots doesn't require college. Once the robots are left to do that autonomously, what jobs are left?
Very few. I think it's much more a matter of job culture and a bit of red queen (useless arms race) competition that has brought on this situation. Probably with a sprinkling of politicians wanting to be able to say that "in my country 50% of high school students go on to university" when they hob nob at international conferences.

In almost all white collar jobs the apprenticeship model would work just fine, but that doesn't work well when people want to change jobs every few years. It's not that most desk jobs are actually harder to learn that most skilled manual labor jobs.
You might be missing the point of vectors.

I'm not sure what to make of your comment, it's a little.. "weltfremd" (unworldly says the dictionary, not sure if that conveys the same meaning as in German though). There are MANY ways around it. It is like lobbying: Bribes are clearly not allowed, and yet politicians can easily be bought without actually breaking any laws.

The problem with that attitude is that when you are looking for bad things you are looking for intent, which is really not necessary for bad things to happen. This is like looking at individual neurons and not finding psychopathy (or whatever else actually is a system outcome of the network's actions, not of individuals).
You could take a look at [1]. The sheer amount of edge cases and bugs they've got covered are incredible.
