In fact, many argue that modern globalization is better suited to smaller forms of government than the XVIII century typical Nation-State on the French model. The concept of "Europe of Cities", on the model of federal Germany, is actually pretty compelling: most citizens of, say, London, have more in common with the citizens of Milan or Prague than they share with home-county backwaters; and the instances of the British countryside are closer to the ones of French countryside than of post-industrial cities like Manchester. Having London-sized macro-regions meet at European level to coordinate might be more effective and representative than the current "deep" model. It would also neutralize a whole set of issues with regional "independence" movements: Catalunya, Scotland or the Milan hinterland would be peers in Europe, rather than subjects in Milan, London and Rome.

Historically, nation-states have been mostly defined by culture, which is defined by language, which was mostly defined by communication speed, which was mostly defined by actual transportation speed. That's not an element anymore because all culture can be everywhere at any time. A new approach is required.

There isn't really a reason to offer a game as a web application if the goal isn't to have it run inside the web browser though. As i wrote in the other reply, i'm not worried about the best thing to do that is technically possible with the method, but what is the most likely to happen (assuming publishing games as web applications take off in the first place, of course).

The unfortunate thing is how much people actually buy into it. I remember once in university, I was at a national entrepreneurship conference for student entrepreneurs. One night, there was a party at a club type of venue. I was sitting with a pretty female friend from my university when she asked me to get her water. So I went and got her a bottle of water. This jerk from another university walks up to us and incredulously asks me, "You got her water??? Here??? You got her water??? What's wrong with you???"

Nerdy, socially awkward me at the time couldn't think of a comeback and I felt embarrassed that I didn't get her a beer or cocktail. But I was also really annoyed, like logically, why am I the embarrassed one here? Today's me would have a lot more confidence and some witty comebacks. :)

But... part of me wonders... how much did that guy really believe what he was saying, and how much was that guy also just a scared kid inside trying to act cool and fit in due to the imagery he's been bombarded with?
YouTube has gotten flak for being biased in their "Trending" promotions recently, so maybe they've taken more of a hands-off approach.

GNU sed has supported sed -i for about 15 years; BSD sed supports it too but you have to write sed -i ''.

The difference is that ed reads the entire input in memory, but it doesn't break symlinks. sed's in-place editing mode (just like perl -i or the newer awk -i inplace that is supported by GNU awk) breaks symlinks, on the other hand it can operate on arbitrarily large files.
Is there an official specific Mediterranean diet? Is it the Mediterranean of Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, or Egypt, etc.? And from what era/period, because my understanding is that those places are seeing significant increases in chronic metabolic disease as well.

From what I've read, Mediterranean means something sorta along the lines of "natural whole foods, not much meat, lots of olive oil nuts and salads" -- and this is vague nutrition advice which can apply to almost any non-exclusionary diet.

From the information gathered in the article and from other comments to me the distinction seems: tactic is a granular method for a problem that does not depend on previous tactic. Strategy is the conjuction of methods, tactics or substrategies however high-level your top-most strategy is, that depend on the previous outcome.

Strategy is like markov chain where each state is a subpart of the problem, and each state transfer to other state a tactic with varying success probability. But since the exact definition is not mathematical it will always be a little ambiguous.

The individual plants are probably not enough. To really soak up some carbon at a noticeable level, you need to take a large amount of crop fields and have them go fallow, becoming forests.

The article mentions this. The technology was proven on tobacco, only because it is a "model organism" for plants. Researchers are attempting to replicate the results in cowpea, as it is a staple food crop in sub-saharan Africa.

This tech is explicitly being developed for increased crop yields. The results will be transferable to nearly all plant life, as the photosynthesis proteins are the most common proteins in the known universe.

We are refactoring code that is billions of years old, full of evolutionary cruft, to remove the technical debt.

I'm not talking about people falling for phishing, I'm talking about legitimate customers getting irritated or suspicious and abandoning the purchase after being bounced to another domain to put in their credit card details.

Our conversion rate got much better when we switched to a single-page purchase flow. My theory is that because "real" sites like Amazon don't force users over to a separate bank page, users have come to expect that experience. Redirecting out to Paypal (or whatever) marks you as a "disreputable" fly-by-night operation in users' minds.

I agree with Keogh that Matrix Profile can help solve a very wide range of problems, but you usually have to go a little bit deeper than just calculating the topline Matrix Profile. A good example of this is that if you calculate the Matrix Profile for something with daily seasonality (say, in-store retail sales), you'll see the same daily pattern in the Matrix Profile. The straightforward fix for this is to normalize by time window (say, only compare the Matrix Profile at the same time each day).

I tend to agree with you. The other day I was looking for reviews on some boots I was going to buy. Most of the videos I found had the same fake advertisement feel you described. There was probably 4 or 5 videos basically giving a history of the company, why they are so good, and a small bit about the boot. It felt much more like an ad than a boot review.

It took some searching to find an amateur YouTuber in the UK giving a review of the boots. He even had 6 months and a year update. It was a low quality production but the content was so much better. This guy even walked in a creek to show they were waterproof while everyone else sat in their bedroom talking.
Strategy is the singular of tactics.

Strategy is a route to a goal that occurs once in the domain.

A tactic may be repeated multiple times for sub-goals when the same or similar sub-goals reoccur.

A tactic might win a battle but a strategy wins a war. But if you're fighting multiple wars, then the strategies for each war are tactics, because there may be reoccurring elements in each war. It's the repetition and reuse that makes things tactical, practiced, routine.
I think there's a bit of confusion about what exactly Google is doing. IIUC they use (and develop) gerrit.

Effectively this workflow means everyone is working on the same branch and the first commit to pass review gets in. The next guy will have to rebase.

In the end one wins as you said, but the level of detail is rebasing individual commits, not merging entire branches.

So this ends up being the age-old rebase vs merge discussion.
Yeah, I'm sure it's somewhat of a lose-lose for them. If they do it by hand, people will bitch about them "playing favorites", but if a automated system does it, you have problems like this.
These 'mystery boxes' thing are super common in the gaming world. There are many websites in which you can bet money to open a mystery box containing a game, or in case of some games a skin for the game's weapons.

The websites themselves are very manipulative. First of all, many offer a "test spin", which usually gives you a very good prize just to lure you in. Secondly, they use popular Youtube personalities to perform "box opening" videos, they get e.g. 30 free box openings. What isn't told, is that it's trivial for the mystery box website to boost the winning chance for the youtuber so that people think "wow, it's so easy, I can win that too". Thirdly, when doing the spin animation, they usually show you that the prized possession you were after was just around the corner, you were very close. Just give it a one more spin, you'll surely get it this time!
It is interesting that the rate of these is increasing over time; I also like the assertion that "games licensed from movies (& etc.) are widely accepted to be shovelware..." even though the Wikipedia editors probably wouldn't like it.
That's the thing. You don't escape from those problems in native environments. You still have to deal with different GFX drivers doing different crap on different platforms, cards that they that support a GL extension but don't, etc. And that's just OpenGL.

With the browser, you're just adding another abstraction layer that has even more complexity. WebGL is far for a decent spec. And we're talking just graphics, as I mentioned before, audio and networking have tons of unstable and untested code.

Multimedia programming is already hard on native environments. I don't see the web being a friendly environment anytime soon. There's no silver bullet, "code once, run anywhere" for games and multimedia.

Wait what?
Most industry game dev is also done on top of C++ engines and libraries. I can see Go being used in the near future as the big engines offer bindings but I bet in 5-10 years the average startup is using something like C#. It is slow as beans but eventually CPU speed will make it much more reasonable for real use. The Unity engine is a good example. It has a weird easy powerful super bloated paradigm.

As you transition to management don't stop coding. You might not have time at work, but make time (20hrs/month) after work or weekends to learn the basics of a new skill relevant to your work.

IMO, developers get annoyed at having to report to someone who doesn't understand at least the basics of what they're working on our who can't provide recommendations in a pinch.

The respect you'll have with your developers makes managing them infinitely easier in my experience.

My first "goal-setting" experience (five jobs and 20 years ago) was like this: upper management would define company-wide goals (that ended up being incredibly vague) and their direct reports would define their own goals that supported the company-wide goals, and their direct reports would define _their own_ goals, ad nauseum, until it finally trickled all the way down to me, the lowly programmer. So I took it seriously, read my managers goals, his manager's goals, his manager's manager's goals, all the way up the chain so I could try to define some goals of my own that a) I thought I could actually achieve and b) supported everybody else's goals. I had a lot of things like "increase unit test coverage" and "speed up build times" sort of things in there. My manager reviewed my proposed goals (remember, we were supposed to be defining our own) and rejected all of them, giving me a set of completely unachievable and meaningless goals - mostly related to the "flavor of the day" project that I was already waist-deep in. Things like "reported bugs are down 30%", "my peers consistently rate me as a solid team player" and "project fleebleflub is in production and is consistently producing $100,000/month in revenue" (I'm not kidding). Back then I was young and naive, so I argued with him that these goals were effectively impossible for me to achieve alone and he said, "well, these are 'stretch goals' and that's good". Of course, two months later project fleebleflub was cancelled, I was redirected to a troubled project with tons of bugs and my peers hated me because I was always turning away their requests for help because I was frantically trying to meet my own goals. Performance review time started to loom large and I was starting to have an existential crisis - I had printed out my goals and pinned them to the wall of my cube so I kept them in mind and I knew that I hadn't come anywhere close to achieveing any of them. I was five years out of college and starting to panic: my degree was in computer science, so programming was the only career option I had, but it was starting to look like I was terrible at this. I updated my resume the night before the performance review because I knew for sure I was going to be fired. So I went into the performance review, my manager looked over my goals, said, "well, let's see if we can get this up in the next six months" and that was it; I got a "meets expectations" and kept working there. Lather, rinse, repeat for every single song-and-dance goal-setting/performance-review exercise I've ever been through.
>I view it are advertisements pretending to be personal videos. She loves it.

Your wife has a normal response to ads when the topic is interesting to the viewer. That's the holy grail of "relevant ads": the boundaries of the "ad" get blurred and the message of the product being sold is better received.

Women buy Vogue Magazine for the ads of fashion. It's not just a female thing. Some males bought Computer Shopper[1] specifically for the ads. Why would consumers pay for ads?!? Because they're relevant to their interests.
