The view of pairing as a form of continuous code review is not a new insight, but it's also not a widely recognized or appreciated one.
That was my thought (the city council session should be on the web) at first, but I believe a person is still needed to make a summary, to explain certain things (sometimes people use lingo or refer to things you might not know), verify claims, etc.

It is a Mobius strip.

To convince yourself it might be useful to imagine a point on the surface and imagine tracing it along the strip (avoiding the edges) and seeing if you get back to where your started.

> The government should have eaten all those banks, turfed the execs, and the sold them later for a massive profit a few years later basically wiping out most shareholder value and taking the profit into public coffers. That would actually be closer to capitalism than the bailout program.

The closest thing to capitalism that would have also massively benefited people - not major corporations - would be to let capitalism do its thing, aka punish those who overleveraged via market-based mechanisms.... like bankruptcy and liquidation. Those who didn't do stupid shit would benefit from the flood of assets.

We controlled variance - how well we did this is arguable - at a massive cost. Maybe it was worth it, but let's not act like there wasn't a huge cost to bear.

Introduction to Traefik [slides]
For every anecdote you have about code reviews finding bugs, I have my own anecdote about people writing code going through a thorough code review process and the code crashes the first time an end user tries to use the functionality.

Sounds like you have bigger problems than code review!
Their "stage 0" seems like it's worse than not doing this at all.
It is not NOT their fault. It is mostly the industry's fault, I agree with you. But people borrowing beyond their means is not 0% their fault.
This was news to me and pretty striking:

> The concept of orientability has important implications. Take enantiomers. These chemical compounds have the same chemical structures except for one key difference: they are mirror images of one another. For example, the chemical L-methamphetamine is an ingredient in Vicks inhalers. Its mirror image, D-methamphetamine, is a Class A illegal drug. If we lived in a nonorientable world, these chemicals would be indistinguishable.
If this is indeed true it is a killer argument for moving to sweden.

You don't have to pass void to sizeof explicitly (which, by the way, is an operator, not a macro). The typical use case is arithmetic on void pointers, for example:

void f(void *buf) {
// Clear bytes 10-19
memset(buf + 10, 0, 10);
}

Making void pointers behave like char pointers avoids pointer casts in cases like this.
Yeah, VLA is one of my favorite features in C. I would love if it was viable to use them for arbitrarily large temporary arrays. They lead to much cleaner code. Instead of

{
float *x = malloc(n * sizeof*x);
...
free(x);
}

you do simply

{
float x[n];
...
}

In image processing, you often need large temporary images, but it is dangerous to distribute code such as the above unless you play with the stack limits from outside your program.

I totally disagree that they're arbitrary.

Front-end is commonly used to mean writing code that runs on a client browser or native environment, like iOS.

Back-end means writing code that runs on a server.

Sometimes they're intermingled code bases. At my companies, they aren't.

Browsers are sufficiently complex targets that it's reasonable to specialize.

Quoting a quote from the article:

> Perl is portable shell

Which ironically I do use in this way but never formulated it in such a compact and witty way.

I found Perl to be available basically by default on every platform I could encounter, from AIX 3 to Windows (it comes along with Git for Windows, which gives you bash too).
Huh?! AFAIK the majority of the mortgages just before the GFC were literally "no risk zero deposit" - if you couldn't repay, you could just move away and mail the keys to the bank, and you had no other obligations. Perfect (for the loan-taker) in case the housing market started crashing or just declining. You'd be stupid not to take such a loan!
I think the main advantage of small restaurants is the labor advantage. Owner, family, friends are willing to work at ridiculously low (no) wages until there is a decent profit.
Well the EU was originally supposed to be a club of like minded elites. Now countries like Denmark, the Netherlands and Luxembourg share the EU with Bulgaria.

Now if the EU was just an economic Union like the old EEC this wouldn't be a problem but we are long past that. This was all foreseen by the way but it was expected that the new member states would be uplifted like Spain and Portugal where in the 1970s.

Yeah, the whole issue seems like one of terminology to me.

It's not the case that an X developer has to know Y.

It's the case that an X developer that doesn't know Y will lose in a competition against one that does.

Hiring, job advertisements, recruiters etc are and always have been nonsense, we know that. It's certainly the case that developers all over the place are being misallocated. But that's not unique to whatever we're calling "front-end" today. It's probably not even unique to software development.
> I'm assuming this was sarcasm.

Unfortunately for you, I am deadly serious.

> If a [farmer|musician] stops working, there is no reason he should get paid.

There is no such thing as 'stops working'. There is a thing called 'stops providing value'.

A farmer that does not produce anything has stopped providing value to others.

A musician's the music of which is no longer desirable also has stopped producing value to others.

> it is reasonable for the creator to get a temporary monopoly.

No, he doesn't get a monopoly through copyright. A monopoly is a state where within a domain, there is only one producer. You can't say the domain of music only contains the song creator.

> After that, it's time to get working on your next creation.

You haven't presented any reason for doing so.

> What's the right time period? For a song, maybe a year. For a well-reasearched book, maybe 5 years. If you keep working on it after release, an extension might be acceptable, but even then 10 years should be the maximum. 75 years after your death? That's insane.

If your work is so good that it has mass appeal over a span of 100 years, then why not get paid for it? why do you want free stuff like this? after all, we are talking about a piece of work that would have almost unprecenteded success.
Some things he has said:

"I am in favor of torture you know that. [...] This country will only change with civil war, killing thousands. If some innocents die, that's OK, it happens" . "Let's fusillade petralhas (slang for the opposing political party)". He also praised Coronel Brilhante Ustra as true patriot in Brazilian Congress. Ustra was a torturer known for electrocuting, raping and beating women and then bringing their children to see them while covered in blood and vomit. There are also reports of inserting live rats into women's vaginas.

"Minorities have to bow down to the majority [...] Minorities [should] adequate themselves or simply disappear".

The blockchain is not comparable to the Visa network as you use it as a consumer. It is comparable to the Visa network regarding settlement, which is extremely slow and periodic, just like the blockchain. Your bank has a series of pending charges that settles 24-48 hours later, which is similar to a dual-layer model - for example, Bitcoin's blockchain (settlement layer) and the Lightning network (consumer Visa network).
> keeping a kid off a screen and giving them other activities is expensive, in parental time if not direct cost.

Some 30 years ago, in my country the parent instructions to their kid, for the afternoon, would be: "go outside, play with other kids, I don't want to see you inside before supper".

And all was well. Sort of.

“Elaine Pofeldt is author of The Million-Dollar, One Person Business (Random House, January 2, 2018), a book looking at how to break $1M in revenue in a business staffed only by the owners.”
What's the justification here though?

Saying "my code is better than other teams' even without review" does not prove that reviews are not helpful - maybe if you get your code reviewed you'll ship even fewer bugs, and if other teams don't review they'll ship even more bugs.

And your justification for that is? you failed to give one.

The possibility of links being changed to something else is not one, because it would never happen that you post a link to your own work named 'Venom' for example, and then a third party comes and changes it to 'Venom, the movie'. This has never happened and it will probably never happen.

No links, should be copyrightable, links should be permissible: if you have permission from the author, only then you can post a link to to it.

> I don't even think I should go into the permanent copytight, it sounds more like a troll statement than anything...

Not a troll, I am deadly serious.
The Fed can do that. Congress not so much. (Sure, technically Congress can legislate money into being, but there are good reasons why it uses bond auctions to fund its accounts.)
Hey there!

I started Vuzers after I tried to collect and analyze mobile user feedback on a previous app I was working on. I quickly saw how time consuming it was to gather and analyze user feedback from all kinds of sources (social networks, app stores, forums etc.) and how resource-intensive it could be to develop an in-house solution.

That's when I thought myself: "Hey, I bet you could help a lot of mobile app entrepreneurs, mobile startups owners, and mobile product managers / owners by giving them the ability to quickly collect and analyze in-app feedback that they can use to improve and grow their app."

I would really appreciate to get your feedback.

1) They are pretty small for most cryptocurrencies.

2) This is false if you understand that Visa/MC do not settle instantly, rather 24-48 hours down the line and their instantaneous consumer network is not identical to that settlement layer. Similar to BTC's blockchain + Lightning network.

3) This is not really a thing outside of Ethereum, but yes, it was a very bad decision.

4) There are plenty of frauds using USD. Way more than BTC. Like, a lot.

5) I'm not sure what this random bit of racism against China has anything to do with anything, but the network's locations of nodes doesn't have much to do with nationality preference.
XRDP server for Linux can be configured to send sound, so I’ve been using that setup for a cloud dev box. In a pinch, it works reasonably well from an Asus c101pa chromebook plugged into a 4K monitor.

I found the Free Range VHDL [1] book a nice starting point, it is open source, you can download it or buy a copy, it is especially useful if you have a strong background in software development, as maybe you case. I also found out VHDL easier to use at the beginning, it may me somehow overwhelming at the beginning, but its rigor also helps during the learning process. Perhaps the most difficult to understand is that when you are programming an FPGA you are really describing hardware and you have to learn to think in parallel. It also took me sometime to understand that not everything can be synthetized and downloaded into real hardware. Anyway, hope it helps and good luck!

Sometimes, when in soloing over some changes, it can feel like a short time has passed only to look at the recording and find out that it's been recording for well over 10 minutes. The opposite can happen too. It's also a little bit different when you're improvising on top of other musicians improvising in a jam setting.

Without sounding too eeky like Rupert Sheldrake, I have to say that once in a while, it seems like the "flow states" of all the improvising musicians in a room sort of sync up and beautiful things can happen. It's absolutely wonderful seeing this with extremely proficient improvisers like Pat Martino in his Live at Yoshi's record. Or Allan Holdsworth in All Night Wrong.

A single musicians flow state is great, but a bunch of flow states together is magical.
> People, myself included, jump to the criminal aspects because those are the only real world applications that are currently creating value for Bitcoin "users" (vs. speculators). Getting around borders/currency controls is valuable because it's hard to do/illegal, and Bitcoin makes it easier.

This is definitely false. I buy a lot of things that are completely legal using cryptocurrency and find it to be pretty painless. I am a small-time miner and use the profits to buy computer gear from Newegg or resellers who want BTC and get a pretty huge discount on Amazon gear. I have zero problem spending all of my cryptocurrency on valid electronics if I desire.

That's a great example. I remember a lengthy thread about this on memo-list back when I was at Red Hat. Always made me smile.

It's also how we were able to spin out our company and raise VC on something inspired by experience, if not using the same code, as what we worked on internally. Having one of the Red Hat founders as our investor helped, but I just loved this attitude of "go build something awesome and keep in touch".

I think if you were the target (or initiator) of legal actions that don't involve criminality on your end but do involve discovery, you would think a lot differently about pseudonymous payments, and potentially encrypted communications. Speaking as someone involved in three active civil lawsuits, trust me when I say criminality is not the only reason to hide things. Being subjected to the discovery process where adversaries can uncover things about your personal life is an experience that will change most peoples' feelings about all things privacy.
I love these. Imagine a giant Mobius strip. Cut a hole in it and install a doorway. When you walk through that doorway where do you go? Not to the other side because THERE IS NO OTHER SIDE!

Yes it is partly their fault. Contrast people without sufficient income, who took huge mortgages with almost zero deposit and repayment amount too high for their income, to fiscally responsible people who didn't participate in the mortgage frenzy, instead trying to save more to afford bigger deposit / smaller mortgage in the future. The first group of people was bailed out by the second group partially. This is quite unjust.

It doesn't change the argument that it's not just the banks that are responsible. People who took these loans also share the responsibility. I don't like the knee jerk reaction of assuming it's not those peoples' fault at least partially. There are many fiscally responsible people who didn't take out those loans and instead were renting the whole time and saving diligently, planning for their financial future. Nobody cares about these responsible people apparently.
To keep in your analogy working in mathematics is more like working with a codebase that is ~100 years old and that still contains all the dead ends, unused code and false starts, because no code ever gets deleted. It is basically impossible to navigate modern research mathematics without a team of professionals guiding you for quite some time. Some of the most successful research mathematicians manage to either find a largely unexplored niche (Jacob Lurie with Higher Category Theory) or manage to work their way backwards to a research level understanding of a specific already established field (Peter Scholze, he claims that he basically worked his way backwards from the Langlands Conjectures and never took a course in Linear Algebra, but just picked it up on the way).
