I think you're guilty of the trope that everything should be ported to Node/Javascript.

More likely is that the people who want the features of Django/Rails just use Django/Rails, so there's no goldrush to recreate them in Node nor a monolithic community around the attempts so far.

The Node ecosystem is like the Clojure ecosystem: all-inclusive frameworks just aren't as popular as library composition.

Agreed 100%. I think the focus on delineating useful vs. useless degrees in this thread represents exactly the wrong approach to solving this problem.
You're technically right, because you can have C compilers for architectures with all sorts of weird memory semantics. But in reality, this will work as expected on all of the major platforms and give you the relative positions of the variables on the stack.

The C standard is not the final say on things, your compiler and platform are. The standard is merely the minimum specifications that are ideally to be supported on all platforms, however you will still be unpleasantly surprised if you rely on it as such.

I always liked Samuel Butler's idea in The Authoress of the Odyssey that the Odyssey was written by a woman. I'm looking forward to Wilson's translation.

My favorite Iliad is Lattimore. I've tried others (Fagles, Green, Lombardo) and always come back to Lattimore. I remember when I first read it, my prof said we didn't have to read the Catalog of the Ships. I actually love that section now. It's like the opening credits.

My favorite Odyssey is Fitzgerald. Fagles is good too.

Now if you want a deeply bad translation, a fraud really, Mitchell is the worst. He leaves out chapters. Edward Luttwak ripped it apart.

Occupy Wall Street hasn't fizzled out, Bernie Sanders' political wing is pretty clearly a continuation of it.

A bunch of rowdy people in a tent city took on the richest most powerful people in the planet, and permanently embedded "the 1%" in our lexicon. Billions of dollars have been spent on way less.

The goals were diffuse because incredibly smart people have ensured it's very difficult to point out exactly where the various rigs in favor of the ultra-rich are located. If you hire several math PhDs and lawyers to concoct your financial scam, it's gonna be hard for a bunch of nurses and teachers to unravel it precisely.

Yeah. The moment I heard of it I thought this would be the ultimate goal. But it turned out to be a value store for the first world. No longer is it electronic cash, more like electronic gold.
Recently, I went to install the Amazon Kindle app onto my new phone. From the Google Play store. It all looked good, except for the strangeness of an individual's name listed as the name for the street address and contact information for the app. That was something I did not recall from previous visits to the app in the Google app store.

So, the Kindle app's not on my new phone. Because the validation portion of curation is, ultimately, left up to the individual. And I didn't have time to go chasing around the Web making sure I was hitting the correct/official app store page. I probably was. But I've been well-trained to "pause and check" on such details.

P.S. I now recall, causing further hesitation, the "other apps" sections of the search results and/or Kindle app page, included an Amazon Video app. And that app had the same name listed in its details.

Now, the last I recall, Amazon Video was specifically NOT available in the Google app store. Forcing people on non-Amazon devices who wanted to use it, to have to add the Amazon app store and adjust permissions to allow installing apps from it. At least, temporarily; once you had that or whatever app you wanted from Amazon, you could then adjust your devices settings back to their defaults. Unless/until you wanted to pull an update to such an app -- then, rinse and repeat.

So... I see a weird bit of contact information. And I see it also for an app that prior experience taught me was not available in the Google app store...

And, with repeated stories like the OP, I can't trust the Google app store to be well-curated.

What else can I say? Meh...
The argument would be that this suggests that Google's garden should have higher and better-guarded walls to prevent such things, while many seem to argue that our gardens' walls are too high. Apple gets criticized for having slower and more arbitrary manual reviews of all app updates, but they don't seem to get malicious apps like this in their app store nearly as much.

I've twice been involved in sending winding-up orders, or at least sending a letter before action to say that a winding-up order comes next. They're an effective and cheap tool in the U.K. to shake dishonest companies looking to avoid/delay paying their bills.
I don't think anyone should assume security practices at companies either are or aren't sufficient, without any knowledge one way or the other. Same thing with company size. Without actual knowledge, it doesn't make sense to assume it's too many, too few, or exactly the right amount.
Would be wild if you could work FFI with webasm in here somehow
Hah yeah that's not gonna happen. If it were, you'd get to give it a name though. Maybe something to do with Master and Margarita, one of the better books people have said I should read.
If you prefer being unfree in the name of security, that is your prerogative. But please don't drag the rest of us with you into your golden cage.

I prefer solutions that offer both, freedom and security. Such as proper application isolation, user review systems (a tough nut, yes) and generally having better reputation/quality signals than just a company name.

Of course PhD students take classes. Most universities make you do 36 credit hours before you can pass your qualification exams. They just don't have courses on specialized topics but there are plenty of relevant graduate level courses you can take in the department that end up being very useful for you.
Yeah, for sure. I think the best takeaway for me from that talk was that major versioning is actually a kinda crummy part of dependency managers, because the way we structure them / code tends to allow you to only use one version of some library at a time. I've definitely been bit on many occasions by libraries doing entire restructures of the whole thing and then pushing under the same namespace.

A better strategy for namespacing would go a long way.

The clojure.set thing is crummy but a hard call. That's a super fundamental piece of the library puzzle, and write once, run forever is a really very expected thing there. Those are something that a wrapper can overcome pretty simply though. In a lot of those cases the approach they take does seem reasonable though, namely that e.g. clojure.set/union perform exactly as is documented on the documented inputs.
Except that paying into ICO is not investing, more like donating, with very little legal action if anything goes not as expected (e.g. the ICO "founder" parting with all of the money).

A Broke, and Broken, Flood Insurance Program
I transitioned from filmmaking to software engineering (long story) and now paint very seriously in my free time. I think of myself as an artist with a day job. When I come home, I crave the release of my easel. My partner has noticed that when I'm engaged with my art, I'm more relaxed and just "more of a person."

My background in art and storytelling, and particularly in film editing, informs my day job in so many weird ways. Although I feel like an outsider and a total weirdo sometimes in the tech world, I have an intuition and attention to people that many of my colleagues don't have or don't have as keenly. I can tell the story of a project in a really compelling way. I can fit the pieces of a project together in the same way that I can fit the individual shots of a scene together.

On the flip side, computer science has helped me approach my art in a more disciplined manner. It's also opened up a world of digital art to me in a way that would have been unapproachable before I really knew stuff about computers.

I firmly believe that deep study in one concentrated area absolutely informs other areas. Mine happen to be art and computer science, but this could be language and chemistry or philosophy and physics or any number of combinations. I think there's something to the Socratic notion of true forms, and I think immersion in any particular discipline gives you different directions of insight to these forms. Or to God, if you want to give a theological twist to it.

Science and (good) art are both getting at the same thing: truth. They are two different sides of the human experience, pointing at the same thing. I would dare to say that one cannot be a well-rounded person without at least some appreciation or mild interest in the other.

T.S. Elliot was a banker when he started publishing poetry. His wealthy society friends offered to pay him the same salary to write full time, and he turned them down. There have been many other writers and artists who found the discipline, financial security, and routine of their day job necessary to foster their artistic output. I do dream about being able to paint full time, but I wonder if I would be as productive in my art without the daily exercise of, for lack of a better term, my left brain.
I do think it, along with all the other ways iOS is deficient, is a deal breaker. I finally switched to Android after years on iPhone and I can't believe how much of an idiot I was for not switching earlier.

At least I wasn't enough of an idiot to use iMessage and get locked into the Apple ecosystem.
I didn't go to grad school and can't relate to your situation, but sounds like your best bet right now is: 1) Find the path to finish your degree asap (you already spent a number of years on it, shouldn't throw it away), then 2) land a job in a place like Google and make some good money.

It sounds shallow, but having a lot of money rolling in to your bank account on a regular basis for the first time of your life will do a lot to you on a psychological level. You'll need that boost in both the emotional and materialistic sides. After a year or so of that, you have more options and can think about life or building cool stuff a little more.

The one thing I can relate to you on is feeling wiped at the end of the day. I worked in a startup-turned-unicorn a number of years ago. The first couple of years was extremely fun and exciting. A few years in, the company IPO'd, and work gradually became incredibly draining and boring. The worst part is, I had all these ideas about cool things I wanted to work on, but was too drained to work on them. I left that company after a few years and have been through founding a startup, failing and back to a regular employee developer since then. Through these years I have never lost passion and energy since. I guess the point of that anecdote is that I know how it feels being wiped at the end of the day, but I had financial security to allow me to leave it and start over. You'll want to get to financial security first.
Basically, I believe the Industrial Revolution started with obsoleting physical labor, because that was simpler, and now efforts to automate will move on to mental and creative labor. Most technical, programming, design and even scientific work will likely become either fully AI driven or else be outsourced to fewer and fewer necessary humans, leading to the same problems of mass layoffs and skills suddenly having little value in an evolving marketplace.

That donation becomes "speculation" if the token received from donating (i.e paying a price for a token) becomes tradable to other people.

Of course it is a questionable medium to speculating in, since there is no real mechanism holding the ICO-offerer to any obligation to deliver what they say they will deliver.

At least with a traditional stock market that is slightly more regulated, transparent, etc, we can reasonably expect that everyone from Apple to Zapos will attempt to deliver on what they say they will, with theoretical criminal charges being the price to pay for those who deliberately defraud investors.
As the saying goes, you don't have to test all your code, only the code that's supposed to work. I don't give estimates that exclude tests for the same reason I don't give estimates for pseudocode that nearly compiles.
Yes. I understand that.

It was also to prop up the otherwise failing econony.

But most in the coal industry don't see - perhaps by choice? - the nuances.
I don't really get your point about monoliths in this specific usecase. Let's say you're
exploring with NumPy.
What stops you from

(a) writing your research as a bunch of Fortran or C kernels and intrgrate them with automatic bindings such as f2py? Especially Fortran is a great fit for NumPy datastructures -
because they are the same.

(b) Use high performance python environments like Numba, NumbaPro (GPU) or even Cython?
Although it does say "pioneer commerce on the Internet", which at the time may have have been taken as "we're selling physical goods online", as I doubt many digital goods we're getting bought or sold online at the time.
Google has no incentive to police the store or protect it’s user’s devices. They only care about getting more people on the Android platform so they can increase their search and advertising revenue. They could give 2 shits about the Play Store.
You've obviously never done embedded systems programming. Try debugging timing issues with a breakpoint.

One incentive to police the store is that quality is a draw for users.
But that's counter intuitive. I for one don't use android simply because of the play store. If you take care of the developers, they'll take care of the apps which will bring the people in.

Revenue is of no use when nobody is being paid living wages anymore. As good as China is doing, it still hasn't solved the basic issues and a growing middle class in China (and India) is only gonna worsen the situation.

I don't believe this planet can sustain billions of people living with the same standards/ways like Northern American or Western European people do, that's a pipe dream equal to "Everybody can be a millionaire".

Sure, everybody could be a millionaire, but at that point nobody wants to a millionaire anymore but rather a billionaire, the same applies to living standards.

No problem.

I have not written that story but it's kind of hidden in the original article.

The short version is to broaden your network and find dependable people who you can really trust.

At the end of the day someone needs to do the work and have technical skills. Basically you can outsource that to people in your network.

For example I'm not an illustrator guru or especially good at hardcore graphic design but I know enough to be dangerous. I typically have a friend in my network make logos for me and I pay him.

My direct client doesn't know this, because it's an unimportant implementation detail. All he knows is he gets a badass logo in the end and it comes part of a package I presented to him.

You can do this for almost anything. I like meetups for this because it's the fastest way to determine if someone is legit or not. I only want to surround myself with highly dependable people who I trust.
The big companies have almost gained complete control of the US: from Amazon for online retail, Walmart offline, Facebook social et al social, Google information retrieval, monopoly ISPs, Uber, etc.

So I keep reiterating the solution I see which is to replace these monopolies with public distributed peer to peer evolving technologies. And no one seems to support me when I suggest this is possible or desirable.
Also, apparently he has "mastered the mysteries of code."

In Python 3. The pip and venv stuff is built-in and works much more smoothly. (But I realize that this doesn't help you on an old Python 2 project.)
> If it is indeed simply a 'book keeping' exercise, then what it really is is an attempt to subvert some other policy. I'm not sure what that policy might be (student loan terms, perhaps?) But whatever it is, it's that policy that should change. Not tax policy.

It's an attempt to recognize the problem of needing students to be fully enrolled to be defined as students often by law.

It's far easier to put in a tax waiver to take care of the consequences of that than it is to change that policy, at a state level, and figure out all the downstream issues of that - which will also probably impact the tax code.
It's not defined by the language standard. Real machine addresses have values and can be compared.

Last time I tried, it did, but it was a lot of work to get running with the version of Xcode at that time. The mailing list had a lot of details on what needs to be done to get the toolchain up and running. It was a tough slog but I did get it working.

It's worth noting that Microsoft used a lot of Cocotron for their WinObjC porting project. Depending on your needs it might be worth a look. I was porting a desktop Mac app, so it was less useful.

I'm learning linear algebra and found that watching a

Code completion has always been hit-or-miss in dynamic languages like python. Is it possible that something in your libraries (or maybe something in your programming style) changed such that the IDE can no longer make good guesses?

FWIW I've never found IntelliJ code completion in Javascript, Ruby, or Python to be very accurate. It's fantastic in Java and Typescript.
