I meant Friedman as an example of monetarism, if that's the confusion.

I consider him closely related to Austrian economics, neoliberal economics... at least when it comes to business cycles.

A lot of "keynsians" are much more removed from keynes himslef than Friedman is from Hayek, Mises, Bastiat..

Obviously every individual is different and taxonomies are fuzzy. I'm not attached to my taxonomy, just trying to comment without lots of footnotes.

This one got flagged as well. Oh well.

edit: and it's not because of the story, it's probably because of the comments.
Just like any democracy, things were voted on, people didn't like the outcome, so now the output is to rebel.

The system doesn't work if you don't respect the system.
Maybe it was flagged because the broader technical community doesn't give two shits about some perceived internet slight and is not interested in childish politics infesting software projects.

People need to stop being so damn lazy. Seriously - Rosa Parks didn't start a bus company when she did not like the rules on the existing bus. MLK didn't start a new religion or form a separate government to avoid oppression of existing ones. Susan B. Anthony didn't hold her own elections when she couldn't vote in official ones. They stood their ground, walked in the shadow of the valley of death, stared down the dragon, ventured into the bear's cave and put in the work and sacrifice to change the system. A lot of people are so spoiled and hardship-adverse that they can't be bothered to do what needs to be done to facilitate actual change in an existing ecosystem. Instead, they just take their ball and go home - or hide behind "safe-spaces". Like dude, the world isn't safe and you can't sterilize it by fussing and complaining until you've forced your sensibilities onto everyone you disagree with.
It's not substantially different than a current row of packed seats, especially when leaning back.

It might be even easier to stand up with a good design.
Something I see often and is a huge code smell to me is not using the most restrictive form of iteration.

If you see collection.map(...) you know that each iteration is simply a pure function from original element to transformed element, which is an immense help when reading the code.

If you can use only map / filter / takeWhile / join etc to express what you are doing, use those! If not, try and just use reduce / foreach. If not, try and just use for. Only use while if nothing else works!
Why are you using RD-to-GDP ratios?

In 1980, US nominal GDP was USD 2.863 trillion. Today it is USD 18.625, which gives out an average growth rate of 5.34% and thus an 650% increase over 36 years. Real growth over the same period is around 2.69%, which gives out a 259% increase in real GDP, which is still way above a 45% decrease. In real terms, research budgets are actually 42.45% higher than what they were in 1980.

Which says nothing about how much they should be. But still, parent went on about sinking budgets, not budget-to-GDP ratios.

For the record, this is not new. Pipistrel has had a relatively successful electric trainer for a couple years now based on one of their popular LSA airframes. The only catch is that at this time I don't believe it has yet achieved FAA certification in the states.

Flight instruction is currently about $100-120/hr for aircraft rental and $40/hr for the instructor (not paid if you are soloing). This would likely halve the rate for the aircraft as fuel is currently averaging about $4.50/gallon and a C172 burns on the order of 6-8 gallons/hour and requires more maintenance. Insurance on electric aircraft will likely be cheaper too given the lower mechanical complexity, though this has yet to be seen.
Our (Australian) government at the time provided significant consumer stimulus (most taxpayers got up to $950 to spend, people on welfare and/or with children got even more) and it also invested heavily in infrastructure and construction projects (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2009/02/04/1233423265116.html). Like other countries, our central bank also dropped interest rates.

As a consequence we now, apparently, lay claim to the longest period of uninterrupted growth in modern history.

However, we've had uncharacteristicaly flat growth since, narrowly avoided recession a couple of times, and are battling low wage growth which, in combination with rising energy and property costs, is beginning to undermine consumer demand.

This has been unhelped by the end of a mining boom, related decrease in Chinese growth and demand for commodities, structural taxation challenges (income taxes were reduced during the boom, and we struggle to tax multinational companies), and a huge speculative property bubble (fuelled by lower interest rates, favourable taxation schemes, currency flight from foreign investors, and ultimately the self-reinforcing returns). I'm sure demographics are playing a role too.

Considering most of our pension schemes ("superannuation") are invested in either property, mining, or banking (itself dependent on property), there's huge uncertainty ahead.
You're thinking of predication, also sometimes called "if- conversion" or more loosely, speculation

It's very useful for getting rid of small control flow that doesn't really change the path of execution much, but doing it for too long is impossible due to the exponential complexity.
I've seen it multiple times: A project is humming along, lots of contributors and in pops this stranger that has no ties to the project whatsoever with a demand for a CoC. They also happen to invite their twitter swarm to the thread and demand a CoC or else they support some $horrible_group.

Dollar-cost-averaging and diversifying your portfolio are orthogonal to active/passive investing. (Though arguably DCA is a bit more on the passive side, as it avoids trying to time the market.)
Its pretty obvious, just look at alberta, they had a surplus for decades when oil prices were high, spent it all away plus even more, and now the rooster has come home. Every industry falls to this basic lack of fiscal discipline. Over-spend and over-leverage when times are good, thus inflating the bubble(s) even further and socialize the losses through bail-outs when the check comes due.
This is a joke, right? A bad one that isn't at all funny.

I suppose it could be argued that this is a legitimate piece of an ongoing conversation about how OSS projects should be run, and how people who contribute to OSS should be expected to behave.

The problem is, to me at any rate, it looks like yet another dose of JavaScript community drama with a bunch of people having a good old strop on and behaving like toddlers.

I swear, there are people in the JavaScript world who are not happy unless they're butthurt about something. And I don't know enough of the background or have enough breath left in my body to care.
one of the perceived (by outsiders) CL drawbacks, is the eco system

if CL have a lot of libraries, it is not because CL have a large or active community, it is more because it existed for a long time

so, what is honestly the reality of CL ecosystem, is quicklisp a solid part of this ecosystem, is it easy to find and install packaged compared to perl and python for example?

do you think racket have a more reliable ecosystem?
> your ability to Google something

In my opinion, this actually is something that makes me valuable. It doesn't matter how well you can synthesize information if you can't find it in the first place.

Having the ability to take a problem, figure out what you don't know, reprocess those parts into a format that Googles™ well, filter out the noise from the results, and only then synthesize the information gathered is actually not as common as you might think.
> It's not. It's a symbol of what is wrong with its opponents in SF, who are committed to opposing any change that doesn't benefit them directly.

Which makes them distinct from exactly no one? This is a conflict of culture not of benefits. This is a result of city planners who do not talk to the communities they plan for/in, and who arbitrarily make changes to public services and facilities without input from the people who actually live in the places they're in.

I'm willing to bet money that nobody who decided where these bike stations went ever even spoke to the poor in the areas where they went. I'm also willing to bet that the people in those areas, even if it isn't true, believed that the extra parking spaces and extra traffic lanes benefitted them more than the bikes. If they didn't, they wouldn't be destroying them.

I'm not saying vandalizing is the solution here, but with the wealthy tech sector utterly dictating the price of housing and consequently shoving out literally everyone else all over the Bay Area, is it really such a reach of logic to think that a shiny rack of new bicycles, no doubt transacted via some kind of app or spiffy web service, is not going to be a lightning rod for communities that are getting the shit beat out of them by a tech obsessed elite?

You are asking about timing the market. No one can do it, it is said. (I think it can be done, but it would be through illegal means, i.e. insider trading, which I believe happens all of the time since it's too easy to do and too hard to catch). Also, you don't have to invest in stocks. You can buy and hold on to bonds (AGG or ACWI).

You might see your holdings value go way down. People sell then. It's normal psychology. It is so tough to see the dollar value of assets go down and sit on it. But if it's the best investment, you don't sell. Hold. The best investment has a holding period of forever. It will go back up--eventually. If it is a good investment and it does not go back up, money will not be very useful anyway (i.e. asteroid hits, etc.) This is why common advice is to only put money into stocks that you will not need for at least five years or more.

Some people have said that some of the biggest gains in the stock market are just before it drops. You do not want to miss out on these, since that is often where the 9.5% return on stocks comes from.

This is free advice and I am not licensed to advise. Oh, and good on you to start saving now. That's _your_ money that you worked for. Keep it yours. Get out a spreadsheet and run the numbers assuming different % returns and _consistent_ savings over time. You might see you can become a millionaire.
Agreed. I'd use something like "learned helplessness".
"It started with the legend Crockford being banned from NodeConf for saying dog-balls."

I'm sorry: what? Did that actually happen?
Yes, but functional units are only around ~6% of the power consumption of a modern superscalar processor. And with Moore's law squeaking out its last few iterations, that number will get even smaller. If you can remove a good part of that by using predication, then you actually win out on power and heat as well.
Yeah, standing absolutely stock still is probably going to hurt for anybody, but getting stronger made it much easier for me to work at a standing desk for extended periods of time (1-2 hours). Of course, I'm not standing absolutely still, but back when I was weak I could hardly make it 20 minutes.
Who's making less than $20k/year?

I did, for the past five years, working as a Python dev in my country of origin (Portugal). And I occasionally went to interviews, and the offers were not better than what I already made, nor did most of my college friends make more than that.

You can imagine how much some developer from an actual poor country makes.

Who can't afford to buy 16GB of RAM? It's $130 on Amazon.

Prices are higher here, but in any case, that's the wrong question. Those $130 are worth much more to a person making $20k/m, or to a company paying that much, especially since many costs (not just hardware) don't drop with the salary levels (and in some cases are quite higher, e.g. gas prices), and so even the share of disposable income, not just the absolute value, is much lower. So it'd be absurd to waste that meager margin on RAM just to use a fancier editor.
Disclaimer: I am the founder. Device42 (http://www.device42.com) can help you with that. You can use us as a single source of truth for lot of things in IT ecosystem. We still need to add auto-discovery for FaaS/micro services, but any services that are not "serverless" can be discovered today with the state/user it is running under etc. And you can use REST APIs to automatically add/maintain state information for servlerless services today.
On the flip side of that, I keep all notifications turned on and only selectively disable them when they start pushing complete nonsense or spam or ads to me. I get very focused and will forget to check email, forget to check Facebook, forget to check text messages, sometimes for days at a time. When I got an iPhone 6 and could no longer depend on the vibrate motor making an audible noise (seriously how terrible is the vibrations on the newer iPhones?) I got a Pebble watch so when the phone rings it actually physically sends me a push notification by buzzing.

Slack has this annoying habit on my work computer to not make an audible noise when I get a message even though that setting is turned on and I never check my Mac's dock when I'm working on something so I had to unhide the dock so I could see the notification come in.

Then again at one point in time I had alarms set on my phone telling me it was time to eat or time to go to bed because I will focus in on something so much that everything else disappears for hours at a time. Notifications help break me out of that to get back to the real world.

Would be great if the website worked. Went offline and nothing happened.
As an organization, we are very aware that some of the sites people visit using our browser would humiliate them if someone could draw a link between who they are and where they visited. This isn't restricted to porn, but that's certainly the most widely known category of site that falls under this heading. We consider this carefully every time we do anything with any user data ever, whether a crash report or the TLD+1 proposal described above.

EDIT: Don't forget that the DNS resolution for porn sites can be deanonymized and resold by your internet provider - there's nothing we can do to protect you from DNS being a cleartext, sniffable, mitm'able protocol.
R&D is misleading in this context. McDonalds's does R&D when it's designing it's new menu, but that's does not result in long term economic gain like say transistor research does. Generally, what matters is fundamental research not development as building ever better vacuum tubes ended up being mostly pointless.

As a probably gentrifier in NYC, I can relate to both sides of this issue. I have friends who grew up in Brooklyn who are so incensed by gentrification that they throw garbage all over the street, in order to deter "more fucking billionaires from moving into their high rises". Feelings aren't always rational, nor are our reactions to them. I applaud outreach groups who are trying to find common ground here. As Mario says, “It’s the cheapest transportation option we have.” And everyone should be onboard with that, especially because it also helps solve congestion that makes quality of life worse for all residents (travel time, air quality, noise...)
Yeah, as far as I can tell this is just a political stunt, not the next IO.js. I'll switch if and when Ayo becomes technically superior to Node. Until then, there's really nothing to see here (as least insofar as the fork is concerned).
The slippery slope is the whole point tho.

Let's restart from the article: "We Live in Fear of the Online Mobs"

Say for the sake of argument me and you agree on 3 fundamental aspect of nazism, and that we also agree that if one express an ideology that matches 2 out of 3 of these aspects it's a fair target for online lynching (whether he self defines as a nazi or not, because of course we hate cryptonazis too, they're just nazis with extra steps).

Here's the crux of the matter: tomorrow another guy can come and disagree with our definition, and claim there are 6 aspect of nazism. or this guy can be more sensitive, and claim that 1 out of 3 is well enough for starting a media crusade against the perpetrator and try to ruin is life forever.

See where I'm going? It's not as easy as "this guy openly claim to support the nazi party" - and live/online mobs aren't exactly known for their rationality and measured response.
Runahead is a totally different concept though, it attempts to extract MLP and throws away all the work even if it was valid.

And most of those stock indexes recovered within 1-2 years. If you didn't panic sell your paper loses would have gone away pretty quickly. Not to mention almost no one's cost basis would be the peak price from 2007, most people would have an average cost basis of lower than that do to periodic investments from previous years.

If your doing a long-term buy & hold strategy, you really don't need to worry about temporary dips in your portfolio. That's why the ETF-and-forget-it long-term strategy is nice. If you're investing and you don't have a long time horizon or you're scared of a dip in your portfolio, you don't belong in the stock market anyway (stick to bonds and other conservative investments).

Understanding Dirty Read Problem with SQL Server
It's worse than that. We have met the Enemy and the Enemy is us.

Java, as introduced, claimed that nearly everything was an Object. What we got instead was nearly everything is a String.

The Real WTF in this code is that all of the important information is passed around as Strings. The iterator and its source hint at this but she fixes the wrong problem. Ever has this been the way with Java. Despite having a statically typed language nobody turns the data into information and instead your modules just vomit strings at each other. Sometimes in groups of four or more.
Hashing is indexing and there is no faster and memory efficient index than an array (not vector) of sorted items. Iteration is the best if you can organize your data for it

The issue is that people have apparently on many occasions said "Hey Rod, don't do that, it's against the CoC (code of conduct)" and his attitude has been "I don't care about the CoC, I don't believe in CoCs, and I'm important enough that you can't touch me." This creates a really difficult environment for completely non-SJW-related reasons (I am very sad that people keep treating this as a social justice issue).

Codes of conduct are only meaningful if they apply to core contributors with all the more force than occasional contributors. The chief accusation lobbied against a CoC is "oh you just use those to go after people you don't like," much like, say, the police sometimes use US law. The only security against this accusation is that the CoC is applied with more forgiveness at the lowest levels and more stringently to the people-at-the-top. It's not social justice; it's consistency.

Admittedly I think a bunch of HN would like the anti-SJW approach of "let's just burn the CoC and forget that it ever existed," and in that sense I suppose that it is "social-justice-ish", but these are orthogonal concerns. The one concern is that members of the Node.js CTC are beyond reproach for shitty things they do; the other concern is defining clearly what things are shitty.
It's going to be interesting to see how cryptocurrencies react to a protracted financial crisis. Time to see if the money in crypto is a hedge or if it's a risk-on asset.
Just a personal touch: my two daughters had food allergies (e.g. milk, soy). The second one had food allergies to almost everything in a way that you think you are cursed or crazy because there is a lack of research literature in this front. These were the kind of allergies related to immaturity and after the first year they were mostly solved. The "interesting" thing is that for the unsolved ones you can see behavior changes related to food.

If you are a parent it is important to write a personal ledger to keep the daily food interactions and think scientifically because medicine doesn't have solutions right now.
The problem in economics is that it's very hard to invalidate a theory.

As stupid as I thought it was when everyone started blasting Ruby & Rails performance because of a poorly-reasoned Twitter article that should have been about choosing the wrong data stores, I was so glad to see most of those people leave the Ruby community for their greener pasture because it's so much easier to get work done without their constant, wasteful drama.
