Maybe the thing that needs to be reimagined is the naive image of science as an infallible way of always getting true answers. Science works, just not in as simple way as one might naively think. Feyerabend's "Against Method" is my favourite place to start :-).
Exactly. The author wasn't advising against using higher order functions in general, just certain ones like comp and partial, which are easily replaced by anonymous functions. I.e. (comp a b) is the same as #(a (b %)), so why not use the latter if it's easier to understand. I don't completely agree with the author on this point, but I know he wasn't against higher order functions.
Yeah - those are good; I've asked variants of those and others when I've interviewed. It's interesting; you sometimes get these incredulous looks (may be a red flag), other times they look surprised but launch into describing their process, failures, places to improve, etc. Sometimes this discussion can also be a means for me as a candidate to decide if I want to work there (ie - is it a broken environment where I might become the fall guy or it will cause me heartache in the long term). Sometimes it leads to more interesting tech discussion and such.
How to Slum as a Rock Critic, Like the Rock Critics Before You
Slightly off-topic, but in 2011 when Moody's downgraded the US credit rating, we all were saying "well, Moody's is feeling a bit moody".

The US continued to struggle in fits and spurts in some industries. But lately, it has been all "risk-on" for most traders.

We have been through a few "asian asset bubbles" before. Whether this is the big one is anybody's guess, but sometimes the broken doomsday clock gets the time right.

I mean non-anonymity - ie to know the source.

> The current stories about Trump are based on multiple sources

I don't see evidence of that, but also there were two important conditions: independent and unbiased.

The problem here is I also don't trust the press anymore to not misrepresent sources. Eventually, the evidence needs to surface.
Yes, I agree, I'm a big supporter of the pharmaceutical industry, it seems from random conversations that a significant proportion of people just think they are crooks, but clearly developing and testing drugs is expensive, that has to be paid for somehow, and private companies are completely indispensable to the process of drug development.

But, marketing is where my support starts to peter out. It seems crazy that marketing takes up such a large percentage of expenditure, it's not only wasteful but also introduces perverse incentives. I really think it would be great if trade deals could establish not just concessions like mandated strong intellectual property laws or restricted bulk negotiation, but also serious limitations on the other side of the coin, on something like pharma marketing.

If deep trade deals are justified by shaping the market to be at its most productive, I don't mind if that increases profits most of the time, but occasionally there will be measures that will improve the market but also reduce short term profit for some existing major players.

In practice, under the current situation the market is structured so that a profitable pharma company has to be good at generating demand, just as much as meeting a need. A company that can do the latter but not the former will go bust.

I think a world with more emphasis on judgements made by clinical research organizations (private or public) like NICE or the Cochrane Foundation rather than TV adverts, wine-ing and dining, and the nag factor on patients and overworked individual practitioners, would end up with a drastically more effective market for actually finding cures.

Those releases (well, Vista and 8 anyway, I don't know about ME) came out of a long and slow planning process - if they made bad decisions I don't think it was about not taking long enough to make them.

1) ASLR: address space layout randomization
2) Yeah libc is commonly ropped against (though you'd need to check with a linux guy)
3) Yes ASLR is a compiler option (/DYANMICBASE for windows). For windows a flag exists in the PE header, probably something similar in ELFs. When loaded the modules are fixed up so pointers and such are correct.
Option to load each work node into a BSP tree that handled window management on load would be nice.
Yea, I'm not that familiar with Android yet, it is next on my project timeline. One part of my decision was I wanted to learn Android, again to understand how to do everything the best possible way on native, before trying any cross platform code that insulated me from the OS.
> Let's say that we institute some feel-good regulation that caps profits at 10% of cost.

That's a dumb way of doing it. A better way of doing it is to value drugs depending on how much it actually helps customers, and set the maximum price you will pay depending on that. It's how any decent single payer PBS works.
Well, the American Revolution was illegal at the time. And it was illegal to plan. So I think that just kind of comes with the territory of having a revolution.
Now that both Red Hat and Canonical (among other enterprise distributions) will be using this for firmware updates, I'm increasingly optimistic about more vendors joining in. LVFS is still a fairly young project, so I see the size of that list as encouraging.
Hey, Imzy is the first one of those startups you are talking about, that I did know before reading its "incredible journey" message :-) It's also one of the very few the purpose of which I understood.

Granted, I didn't think it was a startup but a hobby project run by 2 or 3 volunteers on their free time... That millions and millions are invested in such projects is a mystery to me.
No, it isn't debatable which is generally faster (D), but I was impressed that you could just prototype in Python (probably significantly faster than D) and run it through PyPy when you're done and get 90% of the performance of D. Of course Python has the bloat of the interpreter and Jitter, while D is just a binary. Point is I was expecting more speed from D. I'm curious if this is just luck or the two would be neck and neck on a range of tests?

Although taking advantage of the power of politicians and the state is used to further the interest of capitalists in various occasions (the GP mentioned a few), why exactly is "crony capitalism" not capitalism? From a Marxian perspective, it fulfills all of the requirements for a capitalist mode of production.

And where do people "usually" call this "crony capitalism"? In fact, I tend to see this term only echoed around libertarian (the property kind, not the social kind) corners of the web.

It is also important to remember that natural monopolies can very easily form, and that the tyranny of property ownership isn't much better than the tyranny of the state granting various benefits to property owners. Proudhon in What is Property goes into this and Oscar Wilde talks about it in his essay The Soul of Man Under Socialism.

Why is the crony vs 'not crony' distinction useful, and in what ways would a 'pure' capitalist society alleviate the problems caused by crony capitalism, including but not limited to the difficulty of acquiring sufficient capital to start a business or firm, dealing with anti-competitive behavior arising out of natural monopolies, the destitution and poverty caused by the extremely low cost of labour-power in certain parts of the world?

Please don't feel as though I'm attacking, I want to learn more about your ideas.
I like this guy; I took 3 years of Spanish when I was younger. This education helped me briefly when selling clothes to Spanish speaking clients. They appreciated the effort and I made good commission. That was almost 20 years ago; I have forgotten almost everything I had learned in those years of foreign language instruction.

It is clear to me, in retrospect, that it is much better to embed yourself in a culture to pick up their customs and language. Classroom instruction is simply not enough to be worthwhile.

Ah! Classic duct tape programming!

Something like this is fine as long as the requirements don't change.

But we all know that at a point the requirements will change. And then you have to tell your customer that the "little new requirement" can't be accomplished with a cheap little change but requires instead a complete rewrite that will cost even more then the previous system did.

The only question is whether you are a honest company that told the customer before that that will most likely happen in the future or your planed for that inevitable outcome in the first place...

Eh, my boss is the director of the organization. I keep him informed of what is going on and he lets me know what to prioritize. So I'm somewhat protected from backlash, it's just tiring having to deal with angry emails because someone doesn't have the same things as someone else.

I'd say that my boss generally makes the right decision when it comes to what is best for the organization, and I'm not in the habit of rewarding people for being abusive.

In order to understand what real capitalism is we'd have to understand where money came from, and even that is up for debate. Was it inefficient bartering of primitive people? (As it turns out, maybe not). Was it financiers of conquistadors? Possibly.
I've been bitten before trying to use (if (some? (thing))) instead of just (if (thing)) for the sake of readability, because as (defn thing ...) evolved, it ended up returning a function call that sometimes returned false instead of just nil, so the conditions were sometimes inverting in subtle ways and it was really hard to track down why.

IIRC in the late pre-10 macos days, there was some kind of memory protection retrofitted to the platform, with some kind of permissions system allowing certain programs to break out of this when it really was required.. that could still presumably be done.. unless e.g. there are hardware restrictions (software expects processor to run in some 'mode', which it is not still in).. even then, that could probably be soft-faulted to an emulation shim in a modern full-featured CPU
Why are your developers feeling they have to pad their timesheets?
If shell aliases don't tab-complete for you, you can get tab completion just by defining git aliases instead. One extra space if you also alias g=git. And it solves namespacing.
This is what I've been wanting for a while. I started doing some of this using tmux and a chrome extension. I want to easily be able to switch between projects.

* Open terminal and restore that last session. (can with tmux)

* Open sublime text with the project and the last session restored.

* Open any other apps

My countries economy is very closely tied to Chinas. I wonder what a Chinese financial crisis would look like here.
Is it? It might be. I feel like there's a perfectly legitimate joke to be made saying "I'll wear a morning coat!", the humor drawn from the antiquation and over-the-top nature of the suggestion, rather than the fact that it describes a style of dress that has always been for a different type of situation.

In fact, I think the structure of that joke ("I'm doing what you said, too hard") is a better one than the structure of the joke you imply, though the joke loses something in the current environment of general unfamiliarity with morning dress...
Developers are also the ones that get yelled at, called on the weekends, and even fired if those cases happen.

"Less" is correct, and your interpretation is ungrammatical.

It would be an easier decision if most broadcasters weren't using public property to broadcast with. Long ago it was decided in exchange for the gift of free airwaves they'd accept strict regulation along with the obligation to run "public service" announcements, and to curry favor with powerful politicians.

I say grant the airwaves as property to their current controllers, and stop regulating them altogether. Then it's private property and clearly they can broadcast what they and their customers want. Or they can sell to some data service to use their frequencies for high performance networks. Or find even better uses.

Public control of broadcasting is just a hidden tool for our political organizations to maintain their power.

No it doesn't. I think you are thinking of the kernel, which is separate from all the distros.

Revolutions are always illegal. The American Revolution was very clearly illegal as far as England was concerned, and the US Civil war was illegal to the Union. Even the Founding Fathers, some of whom certainly believed the right to revolutionary violence was necessary and healthy for a free state, would not have accepted the right of the people to string them up.

But your second sentence isn't accurate. The US is almost unique in the degree to which discussing the violent overthrow of the American government is not only tolerated, but held sacred by many people. From right wing talk radio to the Tea Party to Republican political ads during the Obama administration to NRA rallies, intimating the need for revolution and "Second Amendment solutions" is common enough that it may be the oldest meme in American culture.

Of course, there is a line beyond which it becomes conspiracy to commit murder, and then it becomes illegal, which is to be expected as every state assumes its own legitimacy. But the chilling effect you seem to be trying to suggest doesn't really exist as far as I can tell.

>The interesting thing to note that the company in the article, Alexion, is not even an unusually lucrative company. In 2015 its operating income was $536 million on 2.6 billion of revenue, or about a 20% operating profit margin.

...what. 20% margin isn't good nowadays? And why on earth are we comparing this company to a tech giant, they're not in the same world when it comes to how they operate. Of course google's going to look better in a lot of these terms, it's google (and i'd argue a monopoly). I mean at what point do we say, actually these biotech companies are plenty profitable? There's so much handwringing about how if we hurt these companies in anyway then all these sick people will die. It's just not true. Why don't we take the S&P 500, a Biotech Index and ALXN and put them on a chart:

https://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&...

Well damn, looks like despite all their huge R&D costs, only 20% margins, so on and so on they are doing pretty damn well. Honestly, are we looking at the same chart? These companies are MILKING sick people and we're afraid to intervene. Markets don't work in life and death scenarios because people would pay anything. This is a case that begs for regulation and even with it these companies are going to be just fine.
Hmm that's a pretty ephemeral "asset"... and it's an asset that is directly tied to your ability to pull funding. Even if you technically don't directly mold the community, it doesn't do you any favors to try and think of something else as your "product" just because you're uncomfortable with the definition.

Something I love to do with git: make temporary commits at the tip of a branch so I can checkout other branches without losing anything. I much prefer this to stashes, generally. Stashes can still be useful to move changes from one branch to another, but generally I find changes make sense on the branch they were being written for.

> git commit -am "TMP COMMIT"
> git checkout ...
Once you switch back:
> git reset HEAD^

and you'll undo the temporary commit and be back to where you were.

I hope China can continue their development of high-speed rail. They have about 12,000 miles of track, more than the rest of the world combined, and they should have almost 30,000 miles by 2030. They are trying to improve the performance:
