For work & daily computing/tinkering, I don't mind ditching Windows completely and use FOSS system like Linux (I mean GNU/Linux).

But leaving those AAA games is... kinda hard. Really really hard...
Do you mean Tcl?

I've never heard that PS is supposed to run better on one platform. From my personal experience there's no difference. PS performs bad pretty much platform-independently. However I'd love to see some tests about this.
How does your research interact with object-capability models of computation, as in the E programming language?
Wait. What exactly is esoteric about these paradigms? All the books I've read simply call them regular paradigms.
I suspect that for a population of 80k with a relatively low variability, n=300 is more than enough.

One of us needs to brush up on their stats...
> that encapsulation must be all encompassing

If we're trying to characterize "objects" in its purest sense, it must have some all-encompassing property. Mixing in other properties for pragmatic reasons doesn't seem relevant here.

> that identity is not meaningful or useful for transparent immutable data

No one claimed it wasn't useful, simply that it's not necessary to have objects.
Can't be both or what? History is littered with people who did good while being top class shitheads. Elon Musk is such a character. It's a choice who you choose to respect. Because history is also littered with people who did great things without being douchebags.
Solar powered drones that could autonomously plant tree seeds, water them from nearby water sources until it can sustain itself. Hence help make the world greener and combat CO2 emisson. There are plenty of deserted areas without trees that can be taken advantage of. I have plans to work on this on long-term. DM me if you have any details that can help me make this drone.

How and When Did Saturn Get Those Magnificent Rings?
Back in 2005, Fog Creek produced a documentary called "Aardvark'd: 12 Weeks with Geeks", about their internship program.

Human API | Software Engineer, DevOps, Data Engineer | Redwood City, CA | Full time (ONSITE) https://humanapi.co/

Make a difference with technology: specifically, by helping to fix healthcare. We're building a real-time data network that allows getting health data from anywhere to anywhere in close to realtime. We roll up this data in a clean RESTful API that developers use to build apps that make peoples' lives better.

We have a whole pile of fun, interesting problems, and a team of smart, passionate people that love working on them. We like to work iteratively in small teams, and to give people autonomy and ownership to solve those problems.

Some of the things you'd be working on:

- Mapping, modelling and indexing the world's healthcare data
- Scaling and optimizing our APIs
- Modelling human health
- Scaling our ingestion pipeline
- Data engineering and building tools for data science
- NLP and Classification
- Extracting healthcare data from a wide variety of unstructured, unclean formats
- Building intuitive UIs to allow users to find and share their health data

For a laugh, I'd sure love to see the half-baked list of disabilities the author thinks solely merit a handicapped placard, which he has doubtless already compiled.

What sucks is that there tends to be a stigma that goes along with having a placard, because, among other reasons, it's sometimes the case that onlookers judge someone who puts up a placard on their mirror as if they are lying about their disability just to park closer. It's one of the reasons why people with legitimate disabilities tend not to use them when they have them, even at meters.

Author contributes to this by seemingly lumping people who have real, non-apparent disabilities with those who pretend to have a disability.

You didn't learn that, you decided that. Unless you've seen the fire and can point us to it?
The thread started with brightball suggesting that ESPN and cable TV will not be killed because of Twitch, Youtube, and other streaming services, because those services cannot stream one feed to all consumers cheaply.

schnable then suggested that cable companies are switching to IP-based streaming which will have the same issue. I pointed out that it doesn't have the same issue, because multicast can be done internally to the ISP's network - though it can't be done on the wider Internet, so Twitch, Youtube, etc, still can't compete.

It's not exactly "replicating it within their network" - i.e. there's not individual connections to every single endpoint. That would quickly overload the networking equipment for no reason - you'd be sending thousands of duplicate packets, just to different endpoints. This would have no benefit over streaming from Twitch, Youtube, etc.

Instead, you have one source (which might receive its stream over satellite, unicast IP over the internet, whatever else) within the ISP's network which sends a multicast packet to its router, which then automatically duplicates it and send it to all the routers it's connected to, which does the same, and so on and so forth. This is similar behaviour to existing cable infrastructure - each packet only hits each router once.

Some small cable ISPs, and apparently maybe AT&T, do this today quite happily.

Basically, we're agreeing, but you don't seem to think we are because of the details?

Let me mention some things not to do. The number one thing not to do is other things. If you find yourself saying a sentence that ends with "but we're going to keep working on the startup," you are in big trouble. Bob's going to grad school, but we're going to keep working on the startup. We're moving back to Minnesota, but we're going to keep working on the startup. We're taking on some consulting projects, but we're going to keep working on the startup. You may as well just translate these to "we're giving up on the startup, but we're not willing to admit that to ourselves," because that's what it means most of the time. A startup is so hard that working on it can't be preceded by "but." [...]

That is not surprising, as this is not an article about programming in general, but about using programming for teaching in other areas.

I would, however, welcome the companion article, "Thinking as a Way of Programming", to balance the prevalent notion that testing is the only way that matters.
You can group 1000+ investors into a single entity on the cap table, as one reasonable solution.

Easy, because I could and occasionally do run my tools on Windows and macOS. And from some of the responses here, it's clear that some people do prefer that.

But, if I wanted to buy the latest Adobe Creative Suite and run it in Linux, I have no real recourse.

So I guess in that sense, my statement could be made more precisely as: Obligate users of such commercial software suites as Adobe Creative Suite are captive users of either Windows or macOS.
I'm not sure the tech community is able to fix this, short of the brickerbot mentioned by another poster. Frankly, I think this situation will only resolve if and only if there are dire financial consequences to OEMs that pay lip service to security.
The first stage is such an attention whore. It usually gets most of it anyways, this time it punted the first stage entirely off the show.
all the advice to hang up yelp or not answer is only serving to punt the problem to someone else and wait for them to punt back to you. nothing is fixed.

you need to engage yelp salesmen. you need to break them psychologically. you need to convince them to do what needs to be done. they know what that is. you can help them.

In this case, of the three "not recommended" reviews, one is positive (four stars) and two are negative (one star). This seems contrary to the common assertion that the bad reviews are all unleashed. Though I concede that if Yelp is guilty of the accusations, they might be smart about it, and leave some negative reviews hidden.

I'm just concerned that there is still no ready evidence that Yelp is doing this deliberately. I have seen no confirmed cases of hidden negative reviews suddenly being displayed after a contract is canceled, nor of previously displayed positive reviews becoming hidden, nor any compelling evidence that the negative reviews are disingenuous, nor any recorded communication from Yelp implying that paying up will improve reviews. I like assertions to be accompanied by appropriate evidence.

Consider: Most business owners pour their hearts and their lives into their businesses. But no business is perfect, and they will make mistakes that upset customers. Yelp encourages criticism. It sucks to have your life's work harshly criticized. So it's miles easier for business owners to accept that the negative reviews are fraudulent.

There is something about Yelp that makes people want to give inflammatory reviews.

Once upon a time, I got a fake 1-star review. I knew it was fake because I know who my clients are -- past and present. A few days later, a client who had recently cancelled our contract posted a "real" 1-star review. It was embellished to the point of being a fabrication. Luckily it eventually went away, but it was a bad experience. That fake review from someone who wasn't a client turned into a /real/ review from someone who was!

With this information, I've taken a more critical eye to Yelp reviews and noticed most if not all of the reviews are useless.

They also spam up search listings for "restaurants in my area" with useless results.

This made me think of the belief, in some psychology circles, that people with synesthesia are more creative. "Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway."[0] Ex: certain numbers trigger certain colors in some people's brains.

Here is an article with a description of the idea and an attempt to explain the mechanism: http://mobile.www.daysyn.com/Wardetal2008.pdf

I'm getting back into it, but a quick look at https://www.tonymacx86.com/forums/sierra-laptop-guides.189/?... tells me that it's still pretty early for 4k hackintosh laptops. Looks like the one I got was one of the first ones.

If I had unlimited funds, I would probably just build a desktop, since they have a really good monthly recap of what hardware works with the current software.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/april/2017

I guess that's sort of where the line is drawn is you can't really "build" a laptop. Seems like there are a few good Dell models that chose hardware that works with mac, though. I'm sure in the near future we'll start seeing more 4k capable hackintosh laptops.

As you've also mentioned, I can't stress this enough - you don't have to look handicapped to have a disability.

Some people with disabilities can walk - but with difficulty. Some people with disabilities can't walk very far. Some people with disabilities can walk most of the time - but sometimes, their legs go out from under them, and why-the-hell-should-we-not-just-give-them-the-handicapped spot?

Both my mother, and my mother-in-law have disabilities. They suffer through them - and if it weren't for my mother-in-law's cane, at first glance, you wouldn't know.
