:) sorry.

It was a little more complicated than that, not to mention I didn't have another workstation available, and had to get back home to get my laptop.
IMHO a PhD like any other education is just potential energy. It's meaningless unless you can apply it, or someone else can. I would save some money and do a startup however small. This way you know if your making something of true value rather than something you find just interesting. One of my cofounders has a PhD but he worked on various startups during his thesis.

Eh. Maybe books are not quite dead yet, but they do have a terminal disease. We all can see it, I don't know why we tiptoe around it.

This is approximately how the first code block in the OP would look like in Java 5:

import scala.Function1;
import scala.List;
import scala.runtime.RichInt;

class App$ {
public static final App$ MODULE$ = new App$();

public boolean isEven(int i) {
return i % 2 == 0;
}

public boolean isOdd(int i) {
return i % 2 == 1;
}

public void main(String[] args) {
final List<Integer> n = (new RichInt(1)).to(10).toList();
n.filter(new Function1<Integer, Boolean>() {
public Boolean apply(final Integer x) {
return isEven(x);
}
}).flatMap(new Function1<Integer, List<Integer>>() {
public List<Integer> apply(final Integer i) {
return n.filter(new Function1<Integer, Boolean>() {
public Boolean apply(final Integer x) {
return isOdd(x);
}
}).map(new Function1<Integer, Integer>() {
public Integer apply(final Integer j) {
return i * j;
}
});
}
});
}
}

class App {
public static boolean isEven(int i) {
return App$.MODULE$.isEven(i);
}

public static boolean isOdd(int i) {
return App$.MODULE$.isOdd(i);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
App$.MODULE$.main(args);
}
}

Note that, although anonymous inner classes are valid syntax in Java 5, even in Java 5 they are compiled down to separate class files. Hence 2 classes + 4 anonymous inner classes = 6 class files total.

(The code is only approximate. I haven't tried to compile it, so apologies for any errors.)
Another vote for Dancer from me. You can start with a tiny one-file script and then slowly use sessions, templates, Plack middleware etc. as you need it. It's very elegant.
As I was growing up I vowed I would have nothing to do with computers. My father was a programmer, and I did not want to be like him. I wanted to do stage lighting.

I did a bit of electronics though, and one of my first jobs was helping a stage lighting company with the development of a microprocessor-controlled lighting desk. (This was in the early 80s). I discovered embedded systems and have never really looked back.

An oddity, though: I still don't think of myself as someone who 'works in computers'. I happen to use computers to develop the software and hardware for the embedded systems, but if someone assumes I'm 'in IT', they get put straight very quickly.

You could also make some effort to actually understand vi — your app doesn't take you out of insert mode! Using hjkl and ypu does not somehow make anything vi-like when there's no command mode, no compositionality, and a hotkey that breaks everything else. Seriously, chording‽ If you're going to chord for movement just use the built-in emacs bindings! Instead of ^hjkl it's ^bnpf, if you really want to do something as inane as use modified letters as arrow keys.

Why did you write your cargo-cult app at all? There's at least a half-dozen InputManagers that implement true vi command modes already, and while nobody actually uses them, at least their authors appear to have actually used a vi editor before!

Pg and the top idea. Jobs, when the walls fell.
In practice, yes really. Simplicity is one of the basic principles of good Human Interface design. User testing bears out that users find it hard to do even basic tasks with a more complicated program.

Now, sometimes it is possible to add features in a way that is unobtrusive enough that it doesn't affect usability for basic tasks. But it's a tough design challenge to do this, not a given.

By the way, I think Chrome overall does a pretty good job of design simplicity. But the "just ignore the features you don't want" argument is not a good basis for HI design.

True. It seems that the standard benchmark is where we stand on some arbitrary test in comparison to other countries. The purpose of education is to move the characters "United States" from a low position on a piece of paper to a location higher up.

It is in fact very difficult to come up with a good through definition of the purpose of school, as it varies greatly from person to person and from time to time. My definition changes daily, though I don't think the school system has changed their definition in 100+ years (whatever it may be - basically "mold well-rounded citizens", or better yet, "create consumers who don't cause trouble").

How would you define it?

I believe it encompasses the following:

1. Creating free thinking people. What does this mean?

a. Someone who knows themselves. Who can draw strength from themselves, and isn't afraid of facing their own thoughts when they are alone. This is also someone who naturally would have to be conscious of this particular "self" - something I don't believe a majority are.

b. Someone who is somewhat versed in debate and rhetoric. Someone who can understand arguments, break them down, and can form opinions and rebuttals. This is essential in today's world as we are bombarded with opinions on all sides and often don't know what to think. We naturally conform to the opinions around us when we don't have ones ourselves and don't have what I outlined in a). In addition, this helps us understand the ways in which we are manipulated.

c. Someone who understands the "6 Levels of Moral Development" by Lawrence Kohlberg, or something similar to this. Someone who can see this and contrast it to their own lives.

2. Ensuring a basic level of competency in topics that we come into contact on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis.

3. Teaching what parents don't have time to or aren't capable of doing - with a focus on the above items.

I dont see the appeal of nerdtree and the like. For me they are clumsy and too much information.

"All I did was point out that the cost of paving 1 mile of road does not increase just because a bunch of rich microsofties moved into town."

That doesn't even come close to passing the smell test. An influx of rich Microsofties drive up the price for everything, from roads to radishes. A mile of road costs more to build post-Microsoft because land costs more, labor costs more (they need to be paid enough to live approximately near the Microsofties!), and supplies cost more. And I don't know if you've heard the news, but Bellevue isn't a cheap place to live!

Of course, that's not even counting the indirect costs: rich Microsofties like to live in big McMansions in the suburbs, which require not only many miles of new roads, but also new police departments, firemen, sewers, traffic signals, new highway lanes, gas, water and electric lines, etc. The cost increases created by an influx of rich people are non-linear.
Do you have any evidence that investors want short-term returns?

This is a common misconception, and I'm not sure where it stems from. Investors would MUCH rather back Facebook than Mint, that is, investment dollars in a long-term success that becomes essential to the industry goes much further than a product that's acquired relatively early in the company's life.

Been hacking on a Lilypad when I can, and the mbed looks quite handy for wearable computing.

However, the claim by the ARM guy that this "... should open microcontrollers up to a new audience by removing some of the technical headaches associated with programming the chips" sounds odd when you consider that mbed requires you to code in C++ while Arduino allows the use of Processing.

Worse, the C++ compiler is Web-based. That might be handy at times, but needing an Internet connection to hack on some hardware seems to be yet one more obstacle. I have to believe there's a way to do this all locally, but poking around the mbed site I didn't see it.

No no no, the article says this exactly the other way around:

If you want to build an organically-growing, self-funded or lifestyle business (including, say, 37 signals' model) then going it alone is fine.

If you want to take on high-stakes, high-pressure VC funding and shoot for the moon then get a co-founder.

This is not logically equivalent to your statements.

What annoys me about a lot of tech blog posts like this one is that they're essentially voodoo. People like the author write instructions about what you should do without even understanding the instructions themselves.

"I’m not entirely sure what the filetype lines do. I’ve read that they’re necessary and so far I haven’t had problems."

His example .vimrc has filetype listed twice, which is redundant. This in itself isn't a big deal, but the problem these lines illustrate is.

Sentences like these are the reason for billions of blog posts about setting up an OpenSSL certificate authority all repeating the same example which the documentation explicitly mentions is the wrong way of doing things.

In fact I find that these voodoo instructions often crowd out any actual proper tech guides in the search results, all for the sake of drawing traffic to some blog...

Don't write tech guides if you can't be bothered to do the research and explain to your readers why they should do what you do and what exactly they're doing!
"There are better ways to move around in Vim, such as [f]orward, '[t]il and searching. In your case (changing word XYZ to something else) I would search for the word with /XY… and press return to get there, then edit as you described."

That is both slower and has the disadvantage that any intermediary occurrences of the word between my cursor and the one I want to edit will be accessed first.

"See my previous comment about movement. You'd move to the line you want by using a search (or '{', which moves to empty lines), start your selection with V, and move to the end with another search (or some kind of movement command that gets you where you want to go quickly)."

I invented the following task for myself: With the cursor on a blank line above 4 lines of text followed by a blank line, copy the 4 lines and paste them so that there is a buffer of 2 blank lines between the 4 lines of text and their duplicates. I did the task 4 times in both gedit and vim, restarting whenever I screwed up (which was quite often). Here are my results.

vim: 18.28s
gedit: 14.45s

I discarded an earlier task that I think Vim might have been doing better on because the task ended with the buffer back where it started, and I wasn't sure I was able to count accurately while performing the task. However, I had practiced with Vim on that task to the point where my movements were purely mechanical, and I was typing characters nearly as fast as I'm typing these words now.

It's probably a better idea to relax while doing these tasks instead of racing through them, as I'm generally relaxed when I code, but I still don't see much promise in Vim at this point.

As a side note, why is it that I'm the only one doing tests on myself? It's almost as though you guys don't actually want to know which editor is faster.
Most of it is just misinformation.
People think the images are realtime. They think you can move the camera to go to places and e.g. look into windows to see what your neighbour is doing right now.

The other part is irrational fear.
Fear that thieves will use 2 year old images to check out a house, fear that some potential employer won't hire them because you apartment complex looks shitty (Some Germans really like their house fronts - contrast that to the France that most don't care at all what it looks like from the outside, as ling as it's attractive from the inside).

So yes, it's a German thing.

Everyone spends more as they make more money. It's pretty much human nature.

While it does piss me off to read someone who makes so much money complain, I don't think it's ridiculous for someone who already looses nearly half their income in taxes being concerned about a further hike. Suppose that last year I made $10k. Someone, somewhere, thinks that's a hell of a lot of money. But I bet most people on HN would not condemn me for being concerned about the government taking a few extra thousand.

seems like it might have some merit as well, although I am not in a position to actually know for certain.

Although, I have asked my father in the past what he pays for taxes, and he has told me well above 50%. He makes nothing like this man's wages, which makes me wonder how this man is getting away with less than 50%...

I'm 39 now. I saved obsessively (single, crap apartment, very little days off, no vacations) between 2001 and 2007, buying almost exclusively gold stocks. It seemed to me that gold being at <$300 / ounce was a no brainer (which it was), but I decided to invest in mostly junior explorers.

All went well for a while, I had amassed a net worth of aprox $1 Million, and then the bottom fell out in 2008....all my stocks dropped on average 80%. (I'm not joking, 80% was performance for the index).

Meanwhile, gold itself did a little headfake for a few months, and continued to resume hitting new highs. Stocks didn't follow, although they are finally getting a bit better, Maybe someday I'll break even! :)

Anyways, this is just my story to the OP. I had been ranting about the unsustainability of the system for years, but when the shtf, it was my stocks that got creamed, and I went from net worth 1 million to literally 0 (because I had some leverage.

Oh well, thats how she goes. So, let it be a lesson to use a financial advisor, even if they don't know what they're talking about (which they probably won't).

That's certainly interesting research, but it's far from conclusive. There are all manner of variables such as the accuracy of the mouse actions required, the number of keystrokes required, the familiarity of the user with the commands, and even the quality of the mouse.

The tests that Apple conducted were based on simple tasks available on the Macintosh computers of the time. However, text editing is a complex task with a lot of room for optimization. There is no doubt that more keypresses can be achieved per second than mouse actions, and that if asked to repetitively perform a task that could be accomplished by means of 10 vim key strokes or some combination of 5 text selections and menu choices, the max speed of the vim'er would top out higher than the mouser.

However true it is that the keyboarder forgets the time spent recalling arcane commands, it's also true that experienced vim'ers can issues multiple commands per second, some of which will do things that would not reasonably contained in a convenient location in a menu and/or icon-based interface. The powerful grammar and compositional nature of vi commands alluded to in this article, combined with the patterns that emerge in working with specific programming languages lead to opportunities to develop extremely efficient editing skills that blow a mouse-based workflow out of the water. It's not just my own experience, it's watching other people do things in vi or emacs that I guarantee are impossible with a mouse.

You may well be right that the improved productivity of vi/emacs is exaggerated by its practitioners, but I don't think there's really a case to be made that advanced keyboard editing is a waste of time.
