One the one hand, you list a number of non-speculative use cases, on the other hand, you call the capital investments wasteful.

That tells me that your judgement of the wastefulness is subjective. Other people obviously derive value from it.
I was thinking about this just yesterday, and wondering if python could be taught in game like ComputerCraft uses Lua, except for python.

Maybe certain object/data types could have a physical presence like a database could be a shelf, and hooking them up physically would create a real database will multiple tables that could be interacted with in the game. I was thinking about this more in the sense of actually helping me model applications instead of teaching, as it would just be more fun to work with. Does anyone else have interest?

Another way of thinking about this could be like a library with bookshelves in game that you can actually walk though, and program an in game robot to get certain books when you want certain things (querying), and it could help visualize how a database and application were set up and working together.
This is incorrect. Coroutines and fibers are not m:n threads. There are important implementation and usability distinctions. Besides, there are a lot of additional usability issues with bolted-on concurrency vs language-level concurrency.

>the brigading/shilling here on HN is becoming quite annoying

Can you point to a single post where the top, say, 5 comments aren't completely negative toward crypto as a whole? They typically mention gambling, fraud, ponzi schemes and (like yours) Mt Gox, in a rant that isn't specifically tied to the post at hand. Look at the top comments on this article:

>Investing in crypto is like a gambling addiction

>cryptocurrency is the new Gold Rush

>I remember the .com-bubble...But this one; it is just stupid

>It's hard not to think of tulips

If the shills are out there, they must not be getting paid very well.
When did you invest, and why did you feel you needed to sell it off so fast? I bought some bitcoin when I thought it had reached the bottom at $800 a couple years ago, but I was wrong and it kept sliding all the way down to $250 a coin (and stayed that way for a year and a half, that was rough to see the price every day, I eventually stopped watching it for about six months), but I held on to it, and the current price is ~$2500.

Like take the stock market downturn that happened in 2008. People who sold lost their shirts, but people who held onto it for a few years saw the market completely rebound and reach even more all time highs.

I'm not saying it's always smart to have this behavior, and there was a period where it looked like Bitcoin might not ever recover in price, but if you only invest what you can afford to lose (and I have, I could lose everything I invested and I'd be sad but not destitute), then you should be able to weather these storms.
I've been self employed since 2006. In a way, consultants are the greatest job quitters around and the most flexible. I had so many customers/jobs in these 11 years. I didn't even have to quit and they didn't have to fire me.

About one of the points of the post, companies often chose the fashionable tools of the year because of buzzwording, ease of recruiting and because they build the CVs of managers too. Would you manage either a bunch of VB or Elixir developers today? So I'm working on Python and Elixir now, plus a Ruby pet project waiting for less busy times.

I'd use plain old FreeBSD. FreeNAS makes some questionable choices; to my mind it ends up being more trouble than it's worth.
If you define sexual assault/harassment including term "undesirable/unwanted sexual advances" and accept attractiveness to be one of factors influencing evaluation of another person as potential mate, it becomes not that hard to see lower limits for actions to be labelled "unwanted" as varying based on attractiveness of advancing person regardless of gender or social setting.

This would directly translate to welcome a sexual advance from one co-worker but not an identical one from another based simply on attractiveness. Social setting (e.g. workplace) may drive the lower limit below skirting board for some individuals, but that does not make certain social settings universally irrationality free grounds where evaluation as potential mate has no effect on social (and even professional) interactions.

While both men and women are capable of rational thought, likewise both are not individuality, emotion and desires free.

That's my takeaway as well. If you can track and alert on it, you can provision whatever you want and only buy the expensive io1 when it makes sense.
But how is it that there is always another company willing to pay more? Do companies hire devs with X years of experience without planning to pay more for X+1 years of experience?
It can be difficult to hire in this environment. I've had 3 employees quit less than 3 months into new full-time positions. My first inclination is to ask, "What are we doing wrong?" but the more I look around it seems like a common industry problem. Perhaps it's rational behavior - as the article highlights, companies now view people as disposable. There's loyalty to a manager, but not a company. (You always want a good reference)
Maybe, but you can't create an unlimited amount of computers.

That's why ICOs are valuable; they add transaction processing capacity to the overall network (which encompasses all cryptocurrencies) or at least shift transaction processing capacity away from Bitcoin (E.g. when bitcoin miners are re-purposed to mine other more efficient Altcoins).

The limited supply of tokens doesn't matter. The real underlying value is driven by the limited supply of machines which process token transactions. If all machines and all consumer attention suddenly shifted to a different Altcoin, then Bitcoin's value would drop to zero and that other coin's value would skyrocket.
HTML5 Is Here
Works great, but as you said, I can't code as well standing. So I code sitting, and try and browse / everything else standing. If I need to sit for too long I take 5ish minute walks often (probably one or two an hour)
> and you were able to verify that by looking at the source

How much of Ubuntu has undergone a security audit by people who are looking for actively maliciously obfuscated code?

In a codebase the size of Ubuntu (and all its packages), "you can look at the source" is a mindgame, nothing more.

Also, you can look at Windows' source code. In addition to the numerous programs Microsoft has for licensing the code to universities, researchers (including security auditors!), well-known community members, etc. the source code has been leaked multiple times.
For anyone who is thinking about using unicode for passwords, remember to normalize the unicode before hashing it. Different human input devices may output different codepoints for what appears to a human to be the same character/string. Obviously make sure you manage the decoding/encoding as well.
In general, I'm a big fan. I probably go back and forth between sitting and standing every three hours or so.

I don't think I have worse concentration while standing unless I've been standing for awhile and my feet are staring to hurt, which makes me a bit more restless. Another thing I've noticed is that people seem to find me more approachable when I'm standing. They seem to strike up conversations more often, whereas when I'm sitting I must look like I'm working hard and shouldn't be bothered.

Overall, I'm very happy to have one and would recommend a standing desk to anyone, provided they have the option to sit as they please.

No, it's purely analytical, not empirical. Mathematics provides essential tools used in science, but is not science.
Great comment on that page, excerpt:

My beloved dog will be flying in the cargo hold of an A380. I will be seated above in the passenger section. 15 hour flight to Australia.

I have to drop him off in his kennel four hours before departure at the freight office at the airport. They will take him to the plane.

After the flight, he will be picked up and driven about 10 miles away to a quarantine facility.

I would like to build something to put inside the kennel which will allow me to track its location at the freight office and then confirm he's been brought on board. Then at landing, I want to track the kennel from plane to quarantine. Note this is in a different country as departure.

I'm thinking of getting a used Nexus phone and a Project Fi SIM (so I can have data overseas too). However this will be rather clunky and I'd rather not put a bunch of batteries in his kennel for a flight.

Any ideas??
TCL is pretty old school and doesn't get a lot of attention nowadays. The main use I'm aware of is in BigIP F5 config files. There are some really interesting things about it though, for example how control flow constructs (if/else, while) are implemented as commands, using built in uplevel and upvar[1] commands to control the scope of the currently executing code. Some people say it's lisp-like, that's one of the things they mean.

TCL has an interesting history, it's creator is also known for Ousthout's Dichotomy[2] which is useful when disambiguating between "scripting" and "other" languages (an argument that occurs frequently on the internet).

Antirez has written about TCL, if you're an admirer of him or his work (redis) you may find his take on it interesting[3].

I envy people who can use standing desks. I tried for a few months but my right knee hurt pretty badly after a while. I realized I was constantly leaning on my right leg and just couldn't stop myself. Interestingly, I think most people do this more than they realize but can tolerate it better.
I used to working with AS3 and was always confused about the amount of hate that was thrown it's way. I found most things about the development flow very nice and it was a brilliant abstraction that HTML and JS just didn't provide.

I was involved in developing a really simple video editor in the browser that would have been impossible (or at least incredibly difficult) to accomplish without AS3 and the graphical abilities that it allowed.

But... it really did used to suck power from laptop batteries like nothing else.

I'm really enjoying the new biography of Shannon this article is based on. (The authors were kind enough to send me a promo copy.)

It's amazing that such a central and fascinating figure hasn't had a book-length biography before now.
Totally agree. That's why I haven't thrown any money at any ICOs and I probably won't for quite some time, if ever.
AI doesn't need with consciousness or a sense of agency to be dangerous. AI doesn't need to be implemented entirely, or even partly, with neural networks either.

Sorry to go a bit off-topic, but how did school districts in the 80s justify buying licenses for Oregon Trail and other games of the era? The cost of OT must have been equivalent if not much more (inflation-adjusted) than even the consumer price for Minecraft. Admittedly, school funding has changed since then and it may be especially hard in today's assessment-focused ("teaching to the test", as some might say) paradigm to argue that Minecraft is a qualifying expenditure. But Apple gave away computers to get an inroad in education. Free Minecraft for schools might be a reasonable giveaway for Microsoft.
Better than throwing syntax errors at compile time; saves the programmer time. By the time errors happen, it's the customer's problem instead.
I've not tried refurbished, though I assume it would be fine. Tek and Keysight make great gear.

The advantage of the PC-based logic analyzer is in the ease of use, mostly in setup. Also in the number of channels, the ones built into scopes tend to be 16 channels. The two-screen thing is a bit of an issue, it would be better if Rigol's PC software for controlling the scope was halfway decent. Tek's software is much better.

I have a knee issue that makes sitting extremely uncomfortable, so I built a standing desk a year or so ago. I can never go back, it's been so much easier to focus and get things done without trying to get comfortable.

I had knee surgery a few weeks back trying to solve the problem, which has forced me to be sitting all day, but I've been counting the days until I can be back at my standing desk.

Instead of a chair, I built a leaning stool out of an old cane. Takes up less space than a chair and easier to transition to as well.
Exchanges are the spades, mostly. The ones who charge a small fee on every exchange. They get money from people whether they're buying or selling, no matter what the price is.
I'm definitely going to try this, but I've become fed up with most music players and decided to code my own wrapper around MPV.

I used mpd and cmus for years but the main problem I had with them is that when I changed the directory structure of my music files it would corrupt my playlists. There are a lot of different work arounds but eventually I decided that to build a playlist I wanted to copy the file into a playlist directory instead of just reference the file location in a text file.

Right now I use Ranger (a CLI file manager) as the "front end" to mpv. I run mpv on a unix socket so it can be controlled remotely and I can request things like artist, title, etc.. and use that info in desktop notifications and widgets (if I want). Most of the time I never even look at my music player so this works out really well, and I already have mpv installed for video so I'm finding another way to utilize a program I already have installed instead of using another one.

Maybe it's because I'm old, but I don't see the appeal of M:N multiplexing in a programming language (i.e. 'green threads' or some other user-level context switching)

For long-running tasks, if they are I/O bound you can use non-blocking I/O and event loops. If they are CPU bound, then use threads or separate processes. The two techniques can be combined to scale well across multiple cores.

The OS is designed to schedule workloads, it has decades of development in doing this, and has all the system-wide information needed to schedule tasks well across the CPUs. why re-implement the wheel in your programming language?
Uh, isn't it also illegal to buy unlicensed securities? Couldn't the SEC also prosecute individuals who bought into obvious scams as unaccredited investors? IANAL, but securities fraud is securities fraud. Why even take the risk? Why, especially now, announce to the world that you're taking the risk like in the article?

It's great, I've been using one for ~2 years. I bought a powered adjustable one, but have only ever lowered it once when I had my ACL done about a year ago. Otherwise, I stand the entire day and find I can focus pretty well.

I also noticed I drink a bit more water and move around a little bit more since there isn't the "get up from sitting" process.
Yup, Tcl is a really nice little language.
So you're suggesting that instead of Slock.it developing the smart contract, an LLC should have? How do the token buyers qualify as members of an LLC when they're anonymous buyers with no legal affiliation to a LLC?

Nice, thank you very much!

>> Except there is already a box stationed in your house, otherwise no data collection. Whether you might want to be able to use cloud-provided storage for reliability reasons would be a separate issue (which (a) could be completely application agnostic and (b) could just as well use your home server if you preferred that).

Exactly the point I am making in my previous message. This tech is available independently from you using ipv4 or ipv6. You can still do all of this with ipv4 and the reason engineers would prefer to have the "cloud" method is because then they keep their clients on the platform and because most of their clients would not be setting their own server up anytime soon.

It is a business decision and not a technical one. You're making a point from a perspective of a geeky software engineer.

>> Or adding "server capabilities", whatever that is.

You can still do that with IPv4. My point stands.

>> How exactly do any of those connect to "the cloud" without a "fully-functional IP stack"?

For example, Philips Hue uses ZigBee to connect to "the box", which provides the HTTP interface; if they used wi-fi or bluetooth - the price for their lamps would go up by about ~$10 +-$2. So while you don't have to use "the cloud", you'd still need to have a separate piece of hardware that provides the ip connectivity. How does ipv6 solve the problem here?
Perl 6 is a different language from Perl 5. It's considered next in the "Perl family of languages". There are various things you can do to get interoperability between them, and run code from one in the other's interpreter, but the changes are much more pronounced that Python's 2->3 changes. It's closer to the difference between PHP and Perl 5. People familiar with Perl 5 will find a lot of the design decisions and concepts similar in Perl 6, but it will still be like learning a new, but similar, language to Perl 5.
Officials arrest suspect in $4 billion Bitcoin money laundering scheme
I'm a fan. I haven't noticed any major differences in capabilities when standing or sitting.

I have noticed that I switch between the two positions really often. Having a fast lifting mechanism (mine uses springs/gas canisters with a hand brake) is essential, since it makes the transition fast enough to not interrupt any flow I have going.

My only real complaint is that when standing, any bump of the desktop is magnified through the monitor arms, making them jump around alot. Not a big deal, but when it happens it's annoying.
