> I'm definitely upvoting this, as i think this is very much the right direction (I'm actually working on something similar).

C++'s boilerplate is maybe 10th on my list of major beefs with the language, so to me it seems to have the wrong priorities. Still interesting to see a take on it though.

> 1. using := instead of = is straigh up worse. No way i'd use 2 characters instead of 1 for an operator that common.

Less typoing "==" as "=" and your code still compiling though, and it's ":=" instead of "auto ... =" - so 4 fewer characters.

> 2.i don't think the eventuality of bugs really justifies the repetition of public and private at EVERY SINGLE variable, that's a lot of repetitions

C# got me used to that!
As I feel incompetent to comment on the article's content, I'll be glad to start a thread on the linguistics of that car crash of a headline. It took me three or four fresh starts to parse it correctly. The linguistic term for this is garden path sentence[1][2] and it's such a good one that it makes me wonder if it's deliberate.

Even just some small adjustments would make it more readable: "Japanese pictures may show melted fuel from Fukushima for the first time."

That works for me too. I'm originally a lawyer and a decently competent writer and that's also how I approach papers or briefs. Writing is how I think and organize my thoughts so there's no more efficient way for me to design an overall architecture, whether in code or English, than just by starting to write. Once I start to get a grip on the parameters and pain points, I'll circle back and outline the higher level. My brain just works better from a bottom up starting point. Writing and coding are just formalized ways of thinking so sometimes you have to make concessions to your own brain's idiosyncrasies.
It won't be the first or the last time someone uses their own resources to jump start something while the bureaucracy does its thing.

Problem is that, without that bureaucracy sometimes ,'defectors' as Bruce Schneier would call them, will take advantage of those systems and use them for their own personal gain. The "this is why we can't have nice things" rings true for a lot of things related to purchase, money, benefits, etc.
I did my bachelors in economics, and one of our textbooks taught that all other things being equal (ceteris paribus), more equality means less wealth creation. Why? Wealth will naturally concentrate in the hands of those more capable of creating it: if Jo is making 2% per annum return and Jane is making 4% per annum return, and they both start with the same amount, then Jane's share of the total wealth pool will continuously increase relative to Jo. The key thing to note is that as Jane's making better use of resources, producing twice as much from them as Jo, if we take resources from Jane to give to Jo then they'll be used less effectively, slowing overall growth.

To illustrate, imagine they both start with $1000 each. The total wealth pool is hence $2000, and they both have 50% each, perfect equality. Now, let's look 50 years in the future, assuming the previously mentioned interest rates per annum compounding annually. According to http://www.moneychimp.com/calculator/compound_interest_calcu..., Jo will have $2,691.59 and Jane will have $7,106.68. The total wealth pool is $9,798.27. Jo hence now has 27.47%, and Jane has 72.53%. They're both less equal, but they're also both wealthier, and the overall wealth pool has increased.

Now, let's look ahead another 50 years. If no wealth transfer occurs, Jane will have $69,633.20 and Jo will have $19,128.28, with the total wealth pool being $88,761.48. If we equalise wealth, however, such that both have $4,899.13, then in 50 years they'll each have $34,816.57, for a total
wealth pool of $69,633.14. This is 78.45% of the total wealth pool that there would be if no wealth transfer took place.

In this sense there is hence a direct tradeoff between growth and financial equality.

I once had a manager ask me to email him a progress report every day; and every hour or two, he'd make a point of interrupting me to ask me "so how's <current_task> going?"

Sounds like something straight of office space, but that was my life for a while. Least productive job I've ever had because of that (well, and the myriad other little toxic/passive aggressive behaviors he had).

He had a Stanford MBA too, which convinced me of how useless MBAs must be. Because if you make it through one of the top programs in "business administration" in the world and still manage like that, you might as well have an MD from Harvard and still believe bloodletting is a viable treatment for illnesses.

Does it bother you at all that you took a simple set of numbers, largely devoid of context, and then waved your hands with some math and made a huge conclusion? No relevance to the subject of the original post we are discussing here?

I think its a direct example of Premature Mathiness but I suspect you'll disagree :)

The trick to this model is being good enough at figuring out your organization of code that when you get to the easy part of implementation, you don't happen to discover you made a bad assumption earlier.
It's mostly just xinjiang that gets shit on.

See e.g. http://time.com/3099950/china-muslim-hui-xinjiang-uighur-isl...

The TL;DR of it is that it has not much to do with religion specifically, and much to do with the region pushing for autonomy (which doesn't rate particularly high in the eyes of Beijing).

(This is not to say it's ok, just stating the reality of the situation)
It would likewise be easy for authorities to beat you within an inch of your life and jail you indefinitely for "hidden communication with a bad intent" or something similarly inane. They don't need you to unlock your phone for proof.

"Countermeasures" don't matter when there're a million ways to terrorize you, your family, and your friends into submission. They just have to suspect you.
It is from the time centrifuges ( washing appliance ) were called Turn-o-matics.
"For example, Hong Kong and Singapore were extremely economically liberal."

I'd seriously question this. There's a ton of stuff which they have both done which would be met with horror by "economically liberal" types if it were tried in the west.

For example, in Singapore 90% of the housing market is directly controlled by the government and if you look at the medical market, they have some really stringent price controls.

Then there's the currency manipulation: both states, while small, have enormous holdings of treasuries which they buy in order to make their exports more competitive.

I think those "ease of doing business measures" are fluff at best and at worst, basically just outright propaganda on behalf of foreign investors.

"North Korea is even less liberal than China, almost completely rejecting international trade. It has a GDP per capita of $583.00."

Nobody really has a clue what North Korea's numbers are and my level of trust in the CIA's estimates hovers around zero.

Having been there and to Bangladesh I'd have to argue that the latter, while more open to the outside world, is much poorer. Whatever propaganda you are fed, it's fairly obvious from the eye that, for instance, the quality of housing in Bangladesh countryside/2nd tier towns is worse than those in North Korea's 2nd tier towns and countryside.
There is a little problem here, though.
In other scientific disciplines the "laws" are not time dependent. I.e. Chemical reactions in 1894 work just the same as in 2017 or 3251.
On the other hand discovering that your country is sitting on a big oil field in 678 b.C. will not help your state budget at all, while in 1940 it could be enough for your neighbours to finance a war of invasion.

So being able to "explain" past economical phenomena is not very useful if you then cannot use the (now validated) model to guide present and future decisions.

Women do get paid less after birth leave, mostly because skill rot, networking going down the drain etc. The ones that stick to their career and don't have kids are paid pretty much the same amount as men. The birth leave thing skews the statistics, as for the majority of women, children are more important than pay. It's not fair, especially for single mothers.

No source whatsoever but I've read in an article linked from HN.
The final conclusion is a bit bizarre, how can one possibly be responsible for maintaining one's own privacy given this revelation?

I think it is a crime to mislead your government as to your own identity and address so they can't leak it with their knowledge of any special role you have with them.. One can at best change behaviors to not have private data. I.e. refuse government positions, refuse to bear witness, etc.

I still don't see why they are spending years trying to make rad hard robots.

A long steel tube with fiber optics to pipe in light, mirrors and optics to transmit an image down the tube would be infinitely easier. They'd need to burn a few holes, but none of the reactor vessels are intact so that wouldn't allow additional radioactive material to escape.

Yes, that is the model. I'm sure different people have different sensitivities to different things. I work in front of them all day. The only complaint I have is they are so tall (I'm using arms) that I tend to look up more than usual. Also, you can't daisy chain them. Each one needs a dedicated port on your card (I'm running a single GForce 1080)

The real estate is amazing. I have my main one set to VS taking up about 2/3rds of the screen, then two large windows stacked next to it. The secondary monitor is divided by 6 portions, so I have Pandora, Email, Browser, Postman, Excel (for billing), Windows Exploder, SSMS, whatever. I'm typing on this in one of the 6 portions with VS opened on the main monitor. I rarely fill everything up. Also, I can make VS full screen and do split windows within it to compare code. I think the Dell Display Manager only works on Windows though.

Having said that, it's 4K, but it's so large, you don't get a retina PPI. You get a regular PPI but many more pixels, which, as a coder, is much more useful to me.

Like I said, I'm very happy with them. I've finally realized maximum useful resolution, and I work on them all day and many nights.

That’s not what was said in the comment. Obviously, the point of a interpolation is to take a signal with little samples and increase those. What the comment said was that the hardware (panel) was not capable, so the software somehow was able to do it. It makes no sense.
Imagine living back at this time, and seeing the advancement of computers. It's not hard to imagine that natural language programming and real artificial intelligence would not be far off. Science fiction of the period had entire economies planned and administered by computer.

Of course, that didn't happen, but it gets me thinking about what we imagine won't be far off from today. For myself, I imagine ubiquitous implanted health monitors and advanced computer/brain direct interfaces.

What do you imagine we will see "just around the corner"?

I think your prediction of how things would play out is just wrong.

Employers usually have an HR team that is dedicated to knowing what the labor market looks like. They may not know exactly your previous salary, but they keep very up to date tabs on industry trends. They also know exactly how their current human resources are paid.

Hm? It's correct in my experience. People can get massive raises on the order of 50% or more just by keeping quiet about their past salary.

If they pull some "We need an answer in order to move forward with the job" nonsense on you, tell them your past salary was $1.
I think the implication is they are spending money they don't have and going into debt in order to craft an image on social media.

I don't know how it works in the US and whlile I fully agree with you about NPR (not familiar with PBS) I also know that it wouldn't work in my Eastern European country (an EU and NATO member). Our gov't tried to subvert national TV several times for their own corrupt schemes - with parliamentary backing. They just got rid of the TV tax, everybody and their dog voted for them and now they're indtrducing new and even more interesting taxes in place of the ones they got rid of to get the votes. Some people have a really short attention span.

If you take away the tentativeness of "may", "likely", etc., you can make the sentence much easier to read. I wouldn't mind a slight lack of qualifiers as long as the whole thing is not too linkbaity and the content puts the qualifiers back where they belong.
>The problem with that line of economic thinking is that it all hangs on the efficient market hypothesis, which has proved to be nowhere near as robust as most libertarians claim.

It does not hinge on the efficient market hypothesis: at its most basic it's just built on the idea that in the general case people are more careful with their own money than they are with other peoples', which is an observation I don't think many people would disagree with. It can be also built on the assertion that people are more able to invest in things how they want if they can spend that money directly than if they have to do it through the incredibly indirect method of voting for a political party and then somehow transferring money to the government to invest, which doesn't seem particularly controversial.

>You are also assuming that taxes actually pay for things, which isn't really how modern monetary systems work (Governments who have their own central banks actually spend money into existence and taxes destroy money). So Governments do have an important issue to play being the monopoly issuer of money.

From an economic perspective there's not a huge difference between taxes and creating money in this sense: both involve a transfer of wealth from citizens to government. Wealth (or more abstractly, utility) is the fundamental unit of economics, not money.
It is not. Is is a very wide screen. 24:10 aspect.

A UHD/4k pixel density that you would find in a 16:9 display would mean a lot more horizontal pixels.

Though I would like to see one that is 5184x2160 or 5760x2160 pixels. I expect that is just too expensive and niche atm. And pushing gfx cards and display ports to its limits.

I don't get why seeing people having fun makes you sad; when I see pictures of my friends and family having fun doing stuff, it makes me feel really happy knowing that people I care about are enjoying themselves. Sure, I sometimes laugh at the silliness of it all, but it still makes me happy.

If someone else's joy makes you feel bad, you need to take a look at yourself.
> If you've worked in development you likely know that difference in value of developers can be massive, but the ones with less value usually don't perceive themselves as being THAT much less valuable and would have a problem with someone they consider a peer being paid 2x their salary, that's just how things are.

This is a great comment. Pro sports is an example where knowing salaries is fine because there are a lot of objective measures of talent. People generally know where they fall in the order.

That's an ownership tax on tv's as there's an ownership tax on cars. The fact that the proceedings of the Tv ownership tax pay for the public (national) tv service is just a side factor. As very few people were actually paying it, the Tv ownership tax has been embedded on the electricity bill. _Italians, good people_
I know a couple who married after founding a startup together. A VC said that they frown on it, because it meant that breakups would be very messy. But that's really the only negative. The upside is that you two would be the only ones who really understand the other's career. The current startup I work is is also run by a married couple, and the founders encouraged me to bring my wife into the company as well.

To be quite honest, I think it's difficult to avoid getting attracted to your co-founder. You'll be going a lot of places together. I've shared the same hotel & bedroom with my co-founder for months. And you tend to share all secrets together, very much like a married couple, if not more so.

When you think you want to plot a histogram, it's often a better idea to plot a (empirical) cumulative distribution [0] instead. You don't have to worry about how to select your bin limits and you can usually put several in the same plot for comparison without making it unreadable due to overlap.
