Syntax highlighting doesn't necessarily have to work at the lowest granularity, though; for some uses, merely distinguishing between comments and non-comments is acceptable, and that's still 'syntax highlighting'. Of course, as you point out, true 100% syntax highlighting needs to fully parse the entire program; why not do that, though? I guess it would be too computationally expensive for certain sizes of program, but it could still update in near-realtime, no?

> I can't believe eating 40+ eggs a week is healthy.

I've started precisely after reading the studies that find no correlation between consumed cholesterol and its levels in blood. Also when I found out that the vast majority of cholesterol in blood is made in the body to match the levels it needs. Also when I found out the link between heart disease and LDL levels couldn't be proven.

Of course, I eat them alone, without bread or fries like I used to do.

> More readable code almost always means less efficient code.

Incorrect. Most practices like meaningful variable names, logically separated functions and classes, comments where appropriate, etc have absolutely no impact on performance. Principles like DRY and KISS and YAGNI typically also lead to better performance. Only in rare isolated cases might there be a conflict, eg. where a more cryptic algorithm have better performance than the straightforward.
Planning for extending the code is the wrong way to think about it. To many that means overgeneralized code, which is a terrible.

The right way is to write modular code, where each class/function has simple and clear responsibilities. In that kind of code, changes are usually isolated and clear.

We have the luxury of having a good UX/UI designer on the team so I am happy to defer to her on design questions. These should be spec'd out in the Trello card as a checklist and mockups attached in an easily readable format so that any questions can get addressed and hashed out in the grooming meetings.

In teams without a designer, I'd recommend picking a well-documented frontend framework like Bootstrap to establish a baseline and make sure there's a functional UAT process in place.

As far as getting a process in place, I agree it's challenging. Scrum provides a great foundation. But as the regular threads on scrum in Hacker News show, many orgs adopt it without really appreciating how it all fits together and as a result there's a good amount of well-earned resistance to it. At a previous company, we initially brought in a consultant for three days of in-house training. I believe it was money well spent. But we still managed to screw it up in critical ways.

I think establishing and documenting best practices is important, for both process and coding. I'm a big fan of checklists and transparency generally. A lot of my effort goes toward establishing consistency and eliminating surprises.

This paper doesn't directly support what you said. In the abstract it says: "With Silk Road functioning to considerable degree at the wholesale/broker market level, its virtual location should reduce violence, intimidation and territorialism."

There are 3 mentions of the word "violence", one says that the typical internet drug dealer is typically less violent than their offline counterparts but this doesn't meant that gangs will just let others take away their income because the new dealer is dealing out of a living room instead of on the street. Silk Road was B2B, as the paper mentions. But those businesses still need to get their drugs to the end user which seemingly happens on the street.

So it's an assumption, not a proven fact.

In some areas of the world bilingualism is quite common. I'm bilingual myself and I'm also quite high on the English proficiency scale. My kids will probably grow up to be at least trilingual. Of course it's hard to say, but I intend to speak West Frisian with my kids, my girlfriend and her family will talk in Bulgarian to them. We communicate in English with each other and depending on the country where we live by the time, they will also learn that language. To say that they will become truly bilingual or trilingual (or quadrilingual) is quite a stretch, but they will take in at least something.

Yes, absolutely. Not much, granted, but if you look into the history of beer production, you'll see commonly the production from a single mash two, or even three beers, ending with the "small beer", which was commonly served to all, including children.

My understanding of this was that basically we have achieved the scientific break even point already. That is we can have short lived fusion in a tokamak where we produce more energy than is consumed by the reaction. The trick is getting to practical break even: you also need to power the magnetic field.

It seems that we are getting closer with every attempt to getting to that break even, but it is very slow progress. I also remember reading something about an attempt at building a tokamak that didn't run continuously, but in short bursts. The idea was that it was more feasible to actually get closer to the break even that way.

Anyone have a quote in what our current best efficiency is?
> The counterargument is that there's no other technically credible team in Bitcoin

You forgot the most important counterargument. That they _did_ move extremely fast on scalability. They released a masterpiece of engineering, SegWit, which doubles the blocksize, improves efficiency, enables future efficiency gains, and a laundry list of other improvements ... all while being a softfork. And, IIRC, that was all developed, tested, and released in _very_ short order.
It's an interesting point of view that regards those four items as necessary requirements for a data structure, and then regards the 24 lines of code needed to implement it as a massive "explosion of code." It would be interesting to know what language is considered the ideal tool for someone who looks at things that way. Something functional?
capitalism isn't a ideology at all.

ideology, noun
1. a system of ideas and ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy

[capitalism is] an economic system that enables people to choose how to earn their living and how to spend their resources

The God of my religion is God, but the god of your cult is not. My system for resource allocation isn't an ideology, but yours is.

Ideology is a pretty loaded term I guess.
It probably makes more sense when you realize that many ICO buyers are "whales", big cryptocurrency holders who bought in when the currencies were much cheaper and amassed large amounts. When the news headline says an ICO raised $180M, that doesn't actually mean people spent $180M on tokens. Rather, they converted $180M of Ethereum, at its current valuation, which they may have purchased for say $1M collectively. The individual holders might not actually be spending more than $5-10K of their own money (or possibly nothing, if they got their ether through mining), but that money has appreciated to be worth say $1M at Ethereum's current value.

It's a good example of a double pyramid scheme. The value of Ethereum is itself going up; it was worthless 4 years ago but now has a market cap of $20B. And then you can "spend" Ethereum to get additional tokens out of an ICO, which means that you're buying into another pyramid scheme with tokens which themselves have appreciated. The huge dollar values, after the double conversion, generate great news stories, which inspire more people to buy into Ethereum, which prop its value up even more, which mean that the companies who did ICOs can convert their cryptocurrency to dollars at better rates and inflate their dollar values even more, which inspires more ICOs at bigger valuations, and so on.

Lest this sound too dodgy, remember that all currency is itself a pyramid scheme: it's inherently worthless, and worth only what peoples' expectations of its future valuation will be. So the endgame for cryptocurrencies is either they run out of hard-currency buyers, in which case their value comes crashing down and everyone who bought in loses everything, or they replace the dollar as the world reserve currency and everyone who didn't buy in loses everything. I think the latter option is unlikely, but also underpriced, in the sense that it's more likely than most people give it credit for.
Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman a few decades ago did the college circuit holding (mock?) debates regarding "hippy-ism". Abbie Hoffman at this time still looked something like a radical(who, FWIW, wrote a book, "Steal This Book") and claimed that the hippies sold-out and became the yuppies.

Jerry Rubin, dressed very much as you would expect a yuppy to dress, didn't disagree but argued, "And why not?"

So it became a schism: realism vs. idealism, consumption and material security vs. community and spiritual well-being.

Maybe the short answer is, they grew up.

As someone who used to read /r/bitcoin daily for years, I can confirm this. Economic and business considerations are often disregarded, for example the concept of a "window of opportunity" that one can miss when moving too slowly. But what alienated me most from the Bitcoin-community is how the two most important forums do not value freedom of speech. For example, I've been permanently banned from bitcointalk.org for saying "Thank you Alex! I couldn't agree more."

I'd say: go look for those problems!

I'm sure others can do a better job elaborating on this process. I only recently made a mental switch to treat programming as a thing in itself that I enjoy, and it really has made me a happier person. I'm learning faster and more than ever before (even with coding as my only source of income, which should have provided incentive), I'm having an amazing time exploring things for the sake of just exploring and learning.

And as a bonus, it has made me both enjoy and do better at my job as well! I feel like my toolset has rapidly expanded, and as a result I can (justifiably) use those tools to help clients (and get paid), scratch actual code-solvable itches I've had for years, and see potential ways to generate recurring income. And, with some trepidation, I even think I've learned at least some things that I can use to 'make the world a better' place!

EDIT: more specifically, aside from looking for problems to solve, I decided to create my own problems, or consider them worth solving, and then went and solved them.

1. Capitalism is very simple.

Okay ...?

2. Capitalism as an economic system is essentially defined as the process of private expropriation of public wealth.

My economics textbook defined capitalism as "A system for reallocating scarce resources from low-value uses to high-value uses". I don't like either definition, honestly.

3. Technically, the Earth is every creature’s inheritance ...

Technically, adverb. 1. according to the facts or exact meaning of something; strictly.

So what you're about to say is true, because you say it's true? Technically, this is where I stopped reading.
I feel like you're omitting some key points here. You say they ate meat and dairy every day. Practically everybody eats meat and dairy every day, but not everybody has high cholesterol or an increased risk of heart disease (note that those are separate concerns, as CVD happens in people with low cholesterol as well). If I have a glass of milk with cereal in the morning, and a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch on white bread, I've already had two servings of dairy and a serving of meat. But I've also had one or two servings of a sugary breakfast cereal and two slices of white bread (both of which are about as nutritionally void as candy). Those are the really harmful factors here.

I believe you when you say they lost weight on an all plant diet. But I think you're probably attributing their success to the wrong thing. Correlation != causation. People on a diet would never dream of having refined carbohydrates or too much sugar, because those are universally understood to be bad for you (even if it's just the 'empty calories' argument). They just so happened to also stop eating any animal products. So I don't think you can target the meat and dairy and just claim that removing them is "probably the healthiest option for the majority of the population". Rotten thinking like this is what got us into this catastrophic obesity epidemic in the first place.

It was going well until the author implicitly conflated "learning to code" with "learning HTML." This is the narrative that needs to be fixed.

There's three kinds of coding:

1. Systems

2. Applications

3. Analytics/Problem-Solving

There's no need to teach everyone how to do systems or applications programming. Zero. Zilch. Nada. What they do need to learn is how to solve problems, create graphs and charts, etc. That potentially involves learning Python, R, Fortran, Matlab, spreadsheets, etc. Essentially we need to introduce them to the idea that your computer is the best programmable calculator ever created and that you can chuck your Texas Instruments calculator and solve much more kinds of problems of much higher complexity.

Thing is schools have already started going down this path for document creation. Kids today know all about word processors, presentation software, image & video capture and manipulation, and so forth. Now we just need to introduce them to another set of tools for STEM-related problem-solving and then we're all set.
