The number I want to know: How would that $10,000 in S&P 500 fare if AAPL was removed from the index for the duration of the calculations.

Probably not significantly less, but I'd be curious anyway.
> ridiculous and worrying

I think “fraudulent” would be more accurate; it was factually false, it was at best entirely unfounded if not actually knowingly false, it was material to decisions of people to purchase the self-driving add-on.
Understanding Sublime Text's pricing
If I never ate my favorite food during highschool (sushi) I'd probably have an extra 2k in the bank I could have spent on Apple.

If I hadn't ever played WoW, I could have had 540 to spend on Amazon. I probably also wouldn't have been as fat growing up.

If I had not paid for that dumbfuck YOLO trip to Singapore near the end of college, I'd have 2k to throw at Netflix. Or, actually, BP, this was right during the spill.

In other words, Amen man. So now I think today - why do I still go out to eat sushi, instead of tucking it away for another Microsoft buy? Why do I still play Overwatch with my friends here and there instead of spending another hour or two learning something? Why do I still blow assloads of cash on trips once or twice a year?

I guess, what the hell else am I gonna do with my time and money? Keep it till I die? I ride a motorcycle, I could die tomorrow. Actually, my family has a history of heart disease, I could die literally right now lol.

As long as peeps are putting away enough money to survive a crisis, and following the basics of investment principles re: their retirement, they're doing life "right," in my unprofessional opinion.

Sure I didn't buy a lot of stock at 18, but I did have a part time job, which let me go out to eat with my friends and take girls to movies and buy a car to drive us to Ren Fest in (with enough leftover to put together a SICK pirate outfit). I had enough saved to make it easy to buy my books in college. Playing WoW was fun and relaxing, oh well. That YOLO trip to Signapore beat a bit of that cultural close mindedness out of me as I engaged with a bunch of other students from around the world... and it got me a job in Taiwan after college, which was eye opening in ways I never could have imagined. Same with my trips today.

I could have done things differently and have more money right now, but if I had more money right now I guess the only difference is my apartment might be slightly nicer (maybe, I love my apartment), my motorcycle would be slightly faster (maybe, the one I have is kinda perfect for my style), and my clothes would be slightly more expensive (maybe, I'd probably just shop at Uniqlo anyway). I honestly can't think of anything really different about my life right now. Maybe when I retire I'll be like "dude you asshole, if you'd bought 30 more Apple stocks we could be on a boat right now." But then again, I might just die before then, so, shrug.
Have you looked at Keybase? It offers a wrapper around the GPG commands. I know it can be used to encrypt/decrypt and sign stuff, but I haven't looked at it in detail so I don't know if it will suffice, but it might. `keybase help pgp` will list the commands. I'm also not sure if it's usable if you don't have a Keybase account (though those are free).

That's an interesting comment. It made me think about having two different kinds of wealth: wealth enabling things and wealth freeing from problems. If you can do fancy things with careful planning, that's one thing. Doing fancy things without burdening yourself with complicated cost-benefit analysis is the other, and it's probably the latter that gives more freedom and the one the article talks about.
A person without knowledge of what is inside of a wall or why it could be a problem may indeed try to use a 6" nail to hang their picture.

There are plenty of people that don't understand(and probably don't want to understand) how things are connected. I doubt they think that the light switch magically turns on the light, or that the water magically comes from the valve attached to the wall, but the method, or desire to know the method, in which those things happen is just not in their world.
Ahem!

If you want version control, then sure use that. Or stor in dropbox/drive which have version control...

I am sure many people use many different tools for this. Most large enterprise companies, such as biotechs and legal, use document management platforms for this purpose.
If you're trying to expand your knowledge, then waffling over which thing to learn is just procrastination.
Relative wealth is very important because it distorts the market. Even if you are well-off compared to a larger population, if many others around you are even better off, it’s going to suck for you. See Bay Area housing prices for a concrete real world example.
This works! Reminds me of http://domhofmann.com/
Good lesson about market research. What they really learned is that people don't pay money for a phone. Asked if they would like to, they said "not really."

Windows doubled down on the lower price range thing, which was disastrous for both the branding and the development of windows mobile. Everyone associated it with crap phones and they were stuck developing for last year's devices.

High end Pentax cameras are still medium format. The peer group is Fuji, Hassblad, Phase One, and Mamiya. Cross shopping the 645z with flagship Canon and Nikon cameras might make sense...or not. At the point it's a business decision, the tradeoffs of medium format versus "35mm" are usually pretty clear. The Pentax product line reflects this discreet gap in the product line. Pentax isn't filling out a product line matrix of IS and non-IS lens against weather and non-weather sealed lenses. The high end of Pentax's 35mm lenses are mid-range in the Pentax product line.
I almost went Victron, they have a nice selection of equipment with some nice features. I was however put off with their documentation, very lacking, was not 100% sure what I needed to put the system together, they have like 3 different kinds of communications buses.

Magnum on the other hand has excellent documentation and a somewhat simpler product line that integrates well together, remote, inverter, battery monitor. Their comm bus is just RS-485 and documentation can be found, I wrote a node server to display info in realtime along with my Morningstar Tristar solar controller which uses modes over TCP.

My understanding is Victrons load support feature does not go down as far as Magnum, 10 amps vs 5 if thats important .They have a very good reputation as does Magnum, different league than cheap inverters.

Here is a video I did of the Magnums search watt function as some wanted to see, also shows how it deals with large loads and the web interface I wrote for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_jqzY1wNDU

And that richest person a century ago is totally irrelevant in most conversations about wealth except as a counterexample that economics is not zero-sum.
Yep, we do huge amount of assumptions to derive ”model of a world” from quite limited amount of data. And we do lots of mistakes without ever realising it. Fortunately, most of those mistakes are irrelevant, and safety margins let us correct most of the relevant mistakes. Rest become accidents.

I guess the same logic applies directly to self-driving cars as well..
Well, Apple had one or two problems as well and here we are...
I was almost derailed by the grossly oversimplified programmer personality dorito chart at the beginning. Personality types are merely stereotypes for shortcutting the immensely complex network of factors underlying every decision in every individual and should not be wielded without a deeper understanding.

Soldier past that part and the article espouses a lamentation common in all social situations: that people often seem to deny truth to protect the integrity of the reality they currently grasp. The essay experiment where groups are interviewed about the deltas in their perceptions after one group is paid $20 to write an essay supporting a viewpoint they oppose and another is paid $1 demonstrates this nicely. The fact that those paid $20 hold on to their original views with more conviction seems to suggest that it is the value people place on their past ideas (more so the efficacy of the abilities they used to arrive to them I suspect) that precludes them from considering the current ideas being proposed.

There is likely nothing special about the environment of programming that gives rise to this phenomenon, and it is probably something more fundamental to the way that humans have grown to interpret the world around them that causes this situation. Anyone who's ever tried to have reasonable discourse with a scouting attitude rather than soldiering one on any subject will have noticed that at some point, some people seem to double down when presented with clear evidence against their views.
GE Employee Charged with Stealing Company's Trade Secrets
I think there are much more interesting ways to view hierarchies of wealth.

Level one is living on the fruits of ones labors. Your wealth is based on what you do.

Level two is living on your assets, or capital. Your wealth is based on what you have.

Level three (rare in 20th/21st century) is living on your conquest and subjugation of others. Your wealth is based on who you are.[1]

[1] I speak not so much of colonial conquest, or subjugation of native peoples by outsiders, but rather of local conquest - you may not have killed all the other claimants to the local throne, but your grandfather did and nobody is challenging you.

Every lawyer knows what is happening. Copyright 101 - you cannot copyright facts, a big deal for mapmakers. Google is pulling data from a map created by someone else. They are quiet about it because they do not want whoever owns that original map to catch wind that their work acts as source material for google maps.

Some map creators fight this by adding fictitious names, even streets, into maps. You can copyright fiction. So if your fake street name gets used in some other map you may have a case (the same game happened with phonebooks). No doubt google cross-checks source maps to detect such things. So it is no surprise that from this shady little battle we get the occasional strange name.

My work moved buildings a year ago (military facility). We have been trying to get our location changed on google maps for over a year, but are constantly refused. No matter what we say, taxis and pizza deliveries still go to the wrong place (a couple blocks away). Whatever source maps google uses obviously trump our opinions. We are debating installing a sign at the old location. Maybe google streetview will see it.

"You didn't complain on ANI"

And yet I did.

And I never said I didn't complain on that other board. In fact, if I recall correctly (and on this point, my memory may not be 100% correct, but you have raised this...) it wasn't me who initiated the notice, but I did respond.

What is your point? You are the one telling me I never took it to ANI.

In the end, I was clearly not in my right mind. I started having suicidal thoughts, and I did indeed edit as an IP address but not to evade any blocks. I accept that this was not wise, but in my own defense, I was in a heightened state of anxiety and unwell. After the whole debacle, I left Wikipedia and never came back.

It is remarkable that I didn't mention who I was, yet you know specific revisions from an IP address. Who exactly are you?

> Without LIDAR you can use stereoscopic vision (like human with two eyes)

At any but very close distance, don't humans mostly use a combination of lighting cues, a priori knowledge of actual size vs. apparent size, motion parallax, and other flat-image cues instead of stereoscopy?

But, yeah, LIDAR cuts through all that, too.

But at the same time shutting out the poor from college unless they're also straight-A students and somehow magically come from an area with good schools despite being poor...

This is not a problem that has any easy solutions. I've been kind of partial to making tuition free for four years (paid for by the state) as long as you can maintain a 3.0 GPA. Basically extended public school but more aggressive about weeding out people who are not cut out for school. The state would negotiate appropriate tuition each year to discourage ever inflating rates.

This is one more reason why I think Frank Herbert's comparison of the corporate hierarchy to the feudal hierarchy is apt. In both hierarchies, leaders in a situation where they are high performers are almost always morally grey. Our progress is chiefly that our leaders, at both the national and local level, once resembled villains in Game of Thrones. Now, our national leaders resemble James Bond villains. [1] Corporate and local leaders resemble villains in Grisham books, just with a lower murder rate. At the corporate and local levels, lives are still destroyed, but not necessarily with literal bloodshed.

[1] -- Even Obama resembles a James Bond villain, with his exploding missile sky robots. He's just one of the good looking, smooth ones. Trump and Putin are a different kind of Bond villain.

My experience is that most retros result in a list of things that should get addressed but never get addressed. Especially because they must be addressed by larger organizational changes once the low hanging fruit has been addressed, In teams where we actually addressed these issues we ran out of things to say in the retro after a few times.
It never made "sense" to invest in bitcoin, and it still doesn't.

If you had done so, you would have made money, but it was a "bad" bet. It wasn't a company, you had no real information to go off of. No earnings reports, no statements, nothing. It was as blind a bet as you can get. If you were technically knowledgeable in the area I guess you could have "predicated" that it would be used to buy drugs and thus go up in value, but to this day we have highly technically competent people saying "this is fucking stupid, this is overvalued, this is useless." It's a religious debate at this point.

Throwing .1% of your investment portfolio at it, whatever, why not. I do that with derpy shit stocks all the time (looking at you, HMNY, what a fun ride). But I don't think anybody should be salty about "missing the boat" on Bitcoin or other coins. If you wanna be a millionaire, do drop shipping or something. Stream. Flip houses. There's way less risk averse, proven ways to make extra money. Bitcoin just seems "so easy." Get rich quick.
A privacy filter over Bing is fine by me. Lately I've been switching to incongnito every time I search for any product, video or anything to do with news or politics. It's getting ridiculous. I should just switch to DDG permanently.

There is a good reason for using Prolog-like language in a compiler-related project. Prolog was used for rapid prototyping of compilers since the end of 70s and it's still ahead of the time. And if you take a look at a code from old Warren article [1], for example, you'll see that even today almost nobody uses so high-level description of a compiler. The main power of Prolog is not in parsing. Prolog is unbeatable in a program analysis and transformations. See Datalog (you may find it even in a Dragon book nowadays!), see Stratego/XT, they all inspired by good old Prolog.

By the way, Prolog is also good in describing formal semantics of PLs. Good PL reference or a standard should include clean formal notation for semanics of the language, not some bureaucratic English text... Because it's already 2018, we need it for compiler developers and for deeper understanding of a language.

This is pretty condescending to your team. They might not be rockstar developers, but they are adults and can probably manage their time themselves. You don't need to be the best programmer to manage your time, you just need some common sense. If I were working somewhere where the manager thought I couldn't plan my own schedule, I'd look elsewhere.

Star Trek artifacts from Roddenberry family vault on display in VR Museum
It can be hard to get a hold on so many features, I hear you. Some of this is Rust, some of this is your perspective vs. Rust's perspective. Here's what I have for you:

* Partial borrow.

The status of this is unclear. It does work in many cases. It's complicated. I would push back a little on the "no good reason" though, but this is gonna be long so I'll leave it at that.

* Rc/RefCell/Box

Yes, this is painful, but that's because shared ownership is painful. Rust is pushing you away from a certain kind of architecture. Many people think this is a good thing...

* No simple way to declare non-const global objects

That is lazy_static. But

> forces the code to be thread-safe even if no threading support is necessary (that is, I can't use my non-thread-safe classes in a lazy_static).

This is perceived as a good thing; if you code changes later to use threads, you're not hosed.

If you want something that's not for multi-threading, then don't use something that can be used with multiple threading! TLS is probably what you actually wanted here.

* In generic code, there is no simple way to represent integer types.

We went through three versions of these traits, and were not happy with any of them. It's a tough problem.

* No integer generic parameters

This is coming; the design work has been accepted, and now it's on to implementation. It's expected in nightly by the end of the year and probably stable early next year.

* PhantomData is awkward, it absolutely sounds like something the compiler should handle, not the programmer.

The compiler could try to infer variance, but that means that if your code changed, you'd have a breaking change. In general, around interface boundaries, Rust requires you to state what you want.

It's even less awkward than what came before it, for what it's worth.

* "Wrapping<u32> + 1" doesn't compile

Rust is pickier about numbers than many langauges; 1u32 + 1u8 doesn't compile either. Many people find this valuable; you don't have to memorize complex promotion rules, and you always get the semantic you asked for.
