Part time job? Work 4 hours a day or 3-4 day a week. Programmers salaries are such that it is possible. The key is to watch time at work religiously and ensure you actually work agreed upon time and not more. It works, but you have to be consistent.

I have seen people doing this. Not with research, but with hobbies, teaching, religion or family. If it is possible with these, then it will work with research too.
If you'd shared that system 10 years ago maybe we'd all be using that instead of React!

Where I work, we use React because it's easier to find new hires (because they want to work with React) and quicker to get them up to speed on a project (because they already know the framework).

It's also easier to integrate and extend any 3rd party components, as we're already familiar with the boilerplate.

Well, gambling isn't legal in many states. And both the way they're made and way they're advertised is heavily regulated. I'd say it's a bit dramatic to say "hacking humans is legal". (I mean, it is legal via ads, but even those are regulated to a certain extent)
There was this music production software, FruityLoops (FL Studio today) which had a "swing" slider. Playing a beat and then moving the slider made it immediately clear what swing is, and why this word was picked to describe it.

FYI, while it does sound interesting, modern pop music doesn't really use swing. Probably because "straight" music is more dance-able.

I second this. People who say soft skills are dead or unnecessary are wrong in my opinion. Of course, software is software and hardware is hardware. But how does it get there? And where does it go from there? People help people and being nice to each other is not only more beautiful, but also leads to higher productivity in my experience. Having more empathy for your co-founders, employees and investors goes a long way.

There are no immutable user defined data structures in JavaScript (and most of the built-in ones are mutable as well).

They are "immutable" as an abstraction, but you can always mutate them in runtime.

const list = Immutable.List([1, 2, 3]);
list.map = function() { return 'poop'; }
console.log(list.map((e) => e));

Output: "poop"
Has anyone here published in a journal independently of a large company or a university/research institution? I cannot think of any papers I have read that are attributed as such. I have been doing a bunch of independent research in some areas in signal processing that I have only recently started thinking about writing up, and I was wondering how realistic that is. It has been a long time since I published anything in a journal.

Also since I started working on this, I realize just how nice it was in university to be able to click a link to an IEEE paper and skim it. I feel lucky to work so close to a large university library, but I see why people are so drawn to SciHub.
For some reason this seems incredibly funny to me. I can imagine mathematicians laughing at this too.
I don't think academics are incentived to publish truth in general. In my field (fluid dynamics), researchers seem to focus on producing as many papers as possible that sound good but may have problems beneath the surface. This may be different in math, because the standards are much higher.

The distinction between whether science or math creates or discovers truths is philosophical and not something I'm that interested in.

My goal is to publish papers as likely to be true or useful as possible. So thinking about this in terms of "product development" is really just about increasing the chance of discovering the truth. (Or developing a useful model, which may not be strictly true but is a good approximation of the truth. As an engineer, what I do is more likely to be in the latter category.)

One advantage of this approach is that the instructor can provide scaffolding to get the students started and later provide solutions where they can see where they went wrong.

A second advantage is that the students have a written record to study. This should help motivated students with the drive to learn the material. Without such a drive, nothing you do will make a difference.

A third benefit to this approach is the ability to add links to good explanations of difficult concepts in the notebook.
I generally agree with you but there is one exception, Google fi has amazing support. I am surprised gcp wouldn't have similar support considering the obvious cost differences though.
Good start, now if they would just downrank sites that were trying to sell me things or were using identical copy, maybe if I search for subject X, I might be able to find websites with people discussing or explaining subject X.

I'm the most junior member of the Clojure dev team and I have been programming professionally for 27 years (and started programming about 10 years before that). All of us have worked on large scale systems for the majority of our career in a variety of languages, both statically and dynamically typed (Java, C++, C#, Ruby, Lisp, Clojure, etc). I mention this not in defense (you can make your own judgements as you will) but as background.

I don't think any of us would agree with the characterization of Clojure errors in the article.
I can tell a similar story with Amazon MWS, where even if we had access to "human support", it felt like talking to some bad ML, not understanding what we were saying. Ultimately that start up was disbanded, never violating any rule they had, but flagged because of a false positive, and we couldn't even prove we didn't violate anything because we didn't even go live yet. It felt Kafkaesque, punishing one of a myriad possible intents due to malfunctioning ML, with no recourse.

Maybe support just needed to satisfy their quota of kicked out companies for the month, who knows?

The particles are passing through a fixed distance (between the screens), wherein they experience a fixed force due to the electric field.

An electron will shoot through that distance in no time flat and accrue very little momentum. A proton will plod through and transfer far more.

For a 250V potential difference with 20m between screens, you can check it yourself here:

The ratio of those two values is 42.8.

This also makes it easy to see why heavier ions full of neutrons are _awesome_. They give a ratio of 5343.

Where I worked (a digital electronics simulation company in the late 1980's), we said that PC's had "user interface MIPs" but not "CPU MIPs".

A VAX 11/780 (size of a refrigerator) had more CPU power, but access was via RS232 link to a VT100 terminal. These could be pretty slow: it wasn't unusual to type a command line and wait up to 10 seconds (or a minute, in really bad times) to get a response. And a graph could easily take a minute to fully display on a VT240 graphics terminal.

A PC on the other hand had "user interface MIPs" and could display a graph instantly. What the PC couldn't do is run our very large, 32-bit required simulation code.

Computer science is more rigorous than mathematics. The proofs written for computers have to actually work in computer, which is a collection of mathematics that have provably been demostrated to retain their fundamental basic properties that allow computation to both define and test the validity of statements.

People usually end up using backup or move infrastructure on short notice in catastrophic situations, which is presumably rare. Days worth of work to bring back your business in catastrophic downtime - doesn't seem like a bad thing at all to me. If anything, it sounds like a very well organized development flow with very optimistic time-frame.
Note that I did not imply that restoring the service to a different project or provider would always be easy or fast (certainly in the case of very large data volumes it would be neither of those things). I was addressing the prospect of losing "years of work" as was stated in the OP. That sort of implies that most or all of what they did over that time is recorded only in the current state of the GCP project that was disabled, and that is a really terrifying position to be in.

I can maybe see it because they were using external tools, kind of like those roulette computers. But there was a story [1] about this in the US a while ago with a bug in a poker machine. They were forced to return the money even though all charges were eventually dropped. The casino should be going after the machine's manufacturer. I have no sympathy for casinos. Absolute scum of society, preying on people to keep them impoverished and destroying communities.

And then of course there is the important bit that from a regulatory perspective 'just a backup' may be enough to be able to make some statements about the past but it won't get you out of the situation where due to your systems being down you weren't ingesting real-time date during the gap. And for many purposes that makes your carefully made back-up not quite worthless but close to it.

So then you're going to have to look into realtime replication to a completely different infrastructure and if you ever lose either one then you're immediately on very thin ice.

It's like dealing with RAID5 on arrays with lots of very large hard drives.

>>Both the Samsung Galaxy S and the iPhone 3G have a rounded shiny border. That's necessary to have a working touch-based phone?

Not only are you unfamiliar with the patent laws involved in these lawsuits, but you are also now purposely conflating two different types of patent/copyrights issues -- that of design/trade dress issues and utility patent (touch). There were predecessors like the LG Prada (2007), Pidion (2006), and other phones that had the combined or separate features, indicating the mobile device designs were already converging on to what the first iPhone later revealed. The fact that the iPhone's predecessors were poorly implemented are besides the point, especially in design/trade dress where only the look and overall impression matters.

As I noted here in my earlier comment about "Apple's lawyering," the problem wasn't that there weren't prior arts to destroy Apple's claim to the original designs/trade dress; it was that Apple's lawyers tried very hard to prevent prior arts to stand in the case. Apple's homeown judge Koh eagerly obliged and allowed almost all Apple's evidence to stand while disallowing disproportionate number of Samsung's evidence and experts. In once instance, Magistrate Judge Grewal allowed Apple's motion for evidence spoliation against Samsung when it was revealed that Samsung failed to retain all dated documents required, but when Samsung asked the same to Apple just two days later, as it turned Apple also failed to retain their documents too, Grewal refused reasoning that Samsung's motion was one day after the tentative deadline. This was reversed only after a brief public uproar, but there were other examples of such odd procedural rulings that crippled Samsung's defense. Samsung likewise had counter-evidence to Apple's 130+ page doc Samsung allegedly used to copy Apple design, but wasn't allowed.

Let's not even go to the Obama administration's reversal of Samsung's win at ITC in 2013 which would have banned all iPhone importation (or forced Apple to settle the case amicably back then).

Programming is a dead end job (2014)
That's a rubbish title. (edit: the original title was 'Computer scientist tells mathematicians how to write proofs')

Leslie Lamport is a mathematician by education. And I have a good idea he'd prefer to be called a mathematician if he had to choose between the two labels (mathematician and computer scientist).

That's not to say CS, and programming, doesn't contribute to the process of rigor. In fact, I had a realization that a program is a form of constructive mathematics, and hence a program is more rigorous than a proof on paper in the following sense: a single typo in a math proof would be overlooked by the reader, but a single typo in a program could make it fail.

Still, in order to make connections between programming and mathematical rigor, you have be trained in mathematics, not just computer science.
