It's not a false dichotomy, it's an opinion - mine. An opinion about personal satisfaction. To me, reading and learning is great. I do it for a living, basically. But building something is much, much more satisfying for me. Not because I might have to understand something new along the way - that's an added bonus. But even building something new for which I didn't need to acquire new knowledge will give me a better feeling. It's about "creativity" in the original sense of the word. Perhaps it's because creating something is harder than reading something that makes it that way, although even reading something very difficult and finally getting it still can't beat "making".

"Reification" has a fairly clear meaning in CS: basically, it refers to a situation when some feature in a language is made available as a value that can be "passed around" in the program and used somehow. Closures are a reification of functions and lexical environment; continuations a reification of control flow, etc. Classes can be reified as objects, so that we can receive a class as an argument and ask that class to spin off an object of the type that it represents. The va_list type in C reifies function arguments (at least the trailing ones, of a variadic call) so then they can be passed to another function or functions.

We can take as our model of a simple UI the "dialog box", in which a user can prepare some inputs, and then submit. The "dialog box" corresponds to a function with arguments, and the sumbmission is a function call. So of course, in an underlying programming language, the equivalent can be reified as a first class function.

Even a relatively unsophisticated textual CLI can "reify" that at least by turning the concept of a "command" into a string value: there can be a variable that can hold a command, which can be passed around, dynamically calculated and altered, and executed.

The UI usually has no straightforward equivalent of "generate 100 instances of this dialog box invocation, feeding successive values from this list into the ID field ...".
That sort of "reification" can occur with tools that automate the generation of events into the windowing system.

Graphical frameworks in which you can make "actor" objects and hook them up are kind of a reification of the GUI.

You assuming that NK has an early warning system which consists of more than a guy with binoculars and circa 1960s radar which they don’t.

The US is more than capable of launching a preemptive strike against NK without Seoul being hit nearly as hard as one would think.

The main reason they won’t isn’t the shelling of Seoul is that China won’t allow US troops on its border and neither the US, SK nor China wants to deal with the fallout of having to care for millions of uneducated by modern standards starving people that believe in unicorns.

The flood of refugees into SK would do much more damage than any possible shelling from NK which is also why neither player has pushed for critically destabilizing measures or a regime change for the past 50 years.

Having had a tuition waver before, there was absolutely nothing to report (no money paid, no money taxed), it most definitely had no impact on tax filing complexity. What they are proposing is to make tuition wavers a “real thing” rather than something that just existed on paper in a university somewhere, that is bound to make life much more complicated. It will also probably completely restructure graduate education in the USA, since many grad students have free take no classes and rather take 9 credits if “independent research”, which basically means they get to work in a lab.

you don't need to pay someone hundreds of dollars to someone who has made a career out of the tax system.

You don't. Your employer does [+], because they are responsible for (for the majority of traditionally employed folks) managing your tax returns for you. The prices are, indeed, in the hundreds of dollars per year.

If you do something exotic in Japan, like (to pick an example entirely randomly) sell bingo card creation software over the Internet, you will get intimately familiar with the 青色申告, which is almost exactly as much fun as a US tax return.

My personal tax compliance cost for last year on the Japan side was ~$2.5k; it's cheap at the price because doing a full return given my situation would likely have eaten a solid week.

[+] There are some economies of scale here, but a startup in Japan should budget several hundred dollars for payroll administration, per month, plus another lump-sum due in December for the spike of work caused by the end-of-year adjustment (which is not a tax return per se, but is the closest thing most Japanese people have to a tax return).

There are some irreducibly complex questions in tax, such as the surprisingly difficult "What is income, really?" and the related follow-ups "What type of income is that income given that we've decided we want to treat them differently?" and "When exactly did that income happen, given that we've decided we want to run taxation in an other-than-continuous fashion?" These questions are complicated and nuanced because the economy is complicated and nuanced.

I'd be curious what your takeaway is from the book.

At one point one of the regulators in the Safety Commission stopped receiving reports about accidents because the Air Force knew that this would be used as ammunition to fix the Titan II safety issues that had been in place for decades.

Compared to digital vinyl with Serato, I found Mixx to be laggy (and more importantly, lacking of a dedicated next/previous track keys) with a low-end Pioneer DDJ SB. Track controls are replaced with a "hot cue" function, which makes beatmatching without cuepoints unnecessarily cumbersome. Don't recall if the UI had a dedicated next/prev track button but remapping the control scheme meant diving into some javascript datastructure that I wasn't in the right mindset to do at the time. Really wanted to like Mixxx but I could not see how I could perform with it

That's what the CAA dns records are meant to prevent. It tells Certificate Authorities which of them are allowed to issue for your domain.

Couple that with most providers requiring you to prove your domain via DNS or organizational status and you narrow the attack window.

Also I'd assume that as the owner of a domain, you'd be able to revoke any certificate for your domain that you didn't create.

the sim is no piece of plastic. SIM cards are computers! they have a CPU. they have memory, a file system. they run applets, yes Java applets. sims are one of the most secure pieces of technology out there, part of the Secure Element standard. the sim is responsible for a lot of your phones security. lots of encryption keys live on the sim and nothing can access them at all. I am much much happier to trust the hardware than software for some of this. smaller form factors are always coming out for sim, but it's worth the space

The proposals that have so far come out are not substantially simpler. It's a little redistribution here and there but not nearly dramatic enough to be called a "simpler tax system."

I'm curios what you mean by this. I've been working on some software called textgraph [1] (not yet ready for use, and now internally renamed gradesta ) for a couple of years now, so anything with "graph" in it makes my ears perk up.

Perhaps, but it's not literally off topic and the implication that articles have to be related to development in some way is false.
Thank you; much appreciated. To be clear, I was responding to another commenter's criticism.
This is interesting. Universities with extremely large endowments (Stanford, Harvard, quite a few others) don't really need to charge tuition, even at the undergrad level. And as far as I can cell, most PhD students don't pay tuition.

So, what stops Harvard from setting a zero tuition for graduate PhD students? In many fields, STEM especially, grad students are really valuable for the extremely inexpensive labor they provide, not for tuition checks.

Public universities typically charge lower tuitions, and even then (well, at Berkeley at least), my experience was that it isn't hard to get a tuition waiver and become a TA or RA. So, just do away with graduate tuition for PhD students.

The big casualty, I suppose, would be academic masters students, since those degrees actually are tuition based cash cows for universities, including Stanford. Corporations typically underwrite the tuition, and the students are pretty low maintenance. But I suppose they could create an M.Eng for the corporate students, and an M.S. for the academic students, and charge higher tuition for the corporate program.

Another factor, I suppose, is law, MBA, or Med students who get tuition waivers. Not sure what they'd do about that.

Just a couple of thoughts, but my guess is that the top privates will find a way around this.
It's not part of CT, nor does it fully solve the issue, but you might also like Certificate Authority Authorization. CAA allows you to publish what CAs are acceptable for your domain via DNS. CAs shouldn't issues certificates against that. Of course that doesn't protect against a rogue, compromised or coerced CA, but it does protect against phony requests to the CA.
Audacity is for audio data. If you want MIDI use a DAW
There are simpler factors to explain the good economic growth 1982-1988: a big drop in inflation (engineered by Fed chair Paul Volcker) and a drop in the price of oil (mainly just luck). There was also a lot of deficit spending. Reforms in the 1981 and 1986 tax bills may have been helpful on the margin, but they're small compared to economic fundamentals.
I agree somewhat but I doubt in today's political climate (esp. this administration) you would get anyone advocated for local or federal level control since the People seem to distrust any gov't and its ability to do a job (despite things continuing to function to an ok degree).
It's not that. MIDI != PCM or any kind of audio data really

Midi looks like (imagine someone playing two notes: a C then a D):

C4 127 On
C4 127 Off
D4 127 On
D4 127 Off

(not literally, but that is the essence of MIDI)

MIDI support means synthesizer support, which means VST support, which means now you need some sort of MIDI data editor, which means now you've got to work out all the weird timing shit with MIDI, and by this point you are better off with LMMS or FLStudio or Pro Tools or what-have-you. Use the tool most fit for purpose

Yes, but there are worse things happening to animals even as we speak, and for less noble purposes.
You are, of course, entirely right.
The irony is that all these efforts to make higher edu more affordable actually drive up the price.

Yes higher edu should be accessable. However, that doesn't mean everyone is higher edu material. Again, prices increase along with demand.

Perhaps I missed it but the article doesn't mention the quality of higher edu, just the quantity. Less students means lower revenue, lower alumi fund, etc.

All that said, it's only a matter of time before the higher edu system is (pardon me) disrupted. In ten years time these deductions are likely to be close to meaningless anyway.
While I agree with you on who has the lack of power here, it's unfortunate that government garuntee of loans has let the academic industry grow so out of control. It means that any way of changing this status quo is going to hurt students when it happens, but it's necessary to prevent greater pain down the road. At this point it's a band aid that needs to be ripped off
I'm curious about the battery usage of this. If it's constantly looking for faces, won't this drain the battery significantly?
There is a lifetime $5.49 million exemption from the gift tax. Gifts above $14k are taxed. If you gave me $30k this year, you would not have to pay any taxes on it but your $5.49 million lifetime exemption would be reduced by $16k.
I agree in part, mostly because I think calling it "tax cuts" is misleading since what is really being cut?

That being said, it's easy to predict the number of people taking the standard deduction is going to go way up.

Not exactly, I believe you'd probably contact the certificate issuer who issued the original certificate to have them issue a revocation, but my sincere hope is that folks running CAs will eventually come up with some better method for flagging certificates as bad/malicious than "just email Symantec support", since I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Apple is tuple(Hardware,Software) = product. So simply a product company.
They did, like protein folding.

Part of it is that if its going to be a currency, its not particularly appealing that some group gets arbitrary benefits from the act of mining, for free. The government has the power to force such a currency on us, but otherwise, unless the economically valuable activity is globally valuable, its a difficult proposition to justify.
Yes, and in light of this, I still think it's pretty strange that in a project page in GitHub I have to scroll down first before I can read a description.

At least it's not Windows. I'm amazed at how something as basic as Bluetooth has been completely fucked for me since I got a PC. On no other platform have my Bose QC35s, AirPods, or wireless Logitech headset had issues. On Windows 10, they hardly work at all. Ironically the only device that works for longer than a few seconds before losing audio is my AirPods, which I still have to reconnect frequently to get the audio o actually come through.
There are a lot of factors. Outside the DRC cobalt is almost always a byproduct of nickel mining- Due to nickel supplies coming back under control (the price fell 80% in the past 10 years), cobalt prices haven't risen much. The main thing is that a LOT of new mines have opened/will open. Cobalt hadn't been mined in the US for over 30 years until now. We had no nickel mines until just a couple years ago. Now I think there are two cobalt mines opening and six nickel mines, in the US alone. In Canada and Australia even more have been opening. Tesla in particular has been very canny about securing contracts (Indonesia iirc? Plus several in the US... once they open). They've been publicly discussing cobalt for the better part of the decade and spurred a lot of investment in mines, and are very well prepared.

Note though that you're right: there is some potential for the short term (~3 years) price of cobalt to swing. Batteries make up a solid ~50% of global cobalt consumption. That's almost all due to China- in the US almost 70% of cobalt is used for metal-related stuff, mostly superalloys for turbines and jet engines. It's basically a race between new mines being able to ramp up production and the battery revolution taking off. Tesla isn't that worried because while cobalt is important, they can bear a short term cost increase. Tesla has repeatedly said they're under $200/kWh, and even at that price the battery would be $10,000 on a model 3. Of that the current cost of cobalt is probably ~<5%- if the price of cobalt quadruples it's still a total of <$2000. That's almost 6% of the cost- painful, but survivable. And that's an extreme situation.

Another reason they may seem blase is that cobalt is far from the biggest single cost in the battery. It's just the most potentially volatile. Only about 9% of the cathode is cobalt (in NCA), and nickel and even graphite are much bigger costs. Those two are significantly more stable- graphite can be made fully synthetically in a pinch (currently ~45% of battery graphite is synthetic[1]) and nickel consumption is already so huge (because of stainless steel) that even if every car was electric, it would hardly affect our nickel consumption. Cobalt prices can go up quite a lot before it actually affects Tesla's bottom line, but nickel and graphite will affect it immediately. In the end they all roughly balance out.

[1] more info: Synthetic graphite is made from high quality anthracite coal or refinery tar (asphalt, bitumen) that is heated in an oven (carbeurized, then graphitized) and then ground in a ball mill (then chemically treated, plus a whole bunch of proprietary voodoo). It's roughly the same cost as natural spheroidal graphite (the kind used in batteries- think best of the best of the best) and even cheaper sometimes, but they have different qualities. Natural graphite has a slightly higher capacity, while synthetic graphite has higher power capacity, so they use both in a blend. 90% of making batteries is picking the right blend for your application- there are hundreds of every ingredient to mix, tweak and balance. Competition is achingly incremental and fierce.

I wonder if this is the first salvo in a renewed attack on universities from the right. Sentiment toward universities shifted very recently, with a majority of republicans now saying that universities are, on the balance, bad for America.

http://www.newsweek.com/republicans-believe-college-educatio...

This is interesting, in part, because universities have been left leaning places for some time, and republicans until recently still saw them as a net positive.

Universities are a net positive, of course - the research at universities is amazingly valuable. UCSF has a negative effect on America? Woah. Do they actually know what goes on in the chemistry, CS, or physics department at Berkeley?

Unfortunately, I believe that there is some merit to the notion that universities are becoming intolerant and actively hostile places toward conservatives and republicans, though I am neither, myself. And that stuff makes for great headlines - I can believe that something has been blown out of proportion on Fox News while agreeing that it is a legitimate concern.
Neither, they both can be good or bad. Part of being a professional is learning that there are no hard lines in software development. Being able to tell when something is good and when something is bad.

When I start developing I encourage redundancy. Premature abstraction is a very dangerous thing that can pin you into a tight corner.

Dependency is also fine, I keep things coupled together a bit close when they are still in development and malleable and decouple once they start to solidify.

It's my personal style of development when working alone. When working in a team, I follow whatever convention that works best for the team.
Not on an individual basis.
