Disclaimer: I did not dive into their mathematical adventures, but am rather fascinated by their underlying economical foundation: If a market offers choice (the "monopolistically competitive market") it will not deliver profit in the long run. If it's a oligopoly on the other hand, said oligopoly can retain profits for a long time to come.

What is this? Tautological? Suicide of the market? At least it's spelled out that the user is the loser in that system.
Both of my grandfathers died in the past five months.

The one who lives halfway across the country was 97. He woke up at his lake cabin the morning before he died complaining of chest pain and shrugged it off but was soon being transported unconscious to the hospital accompanied by his paramedic neighbor. He slipped into a coma and the next day with several of his children at his side, was removed from the ventilator.

My other grandfather, who lives in the same town I do, was 93 and had struggled for the past several years with a progressively debilitating illness which increasingly kept him from being able to do the things he wanted to do. A couple weeks before his death his health took a turn for the worse and he quickly began losing connection with the world. He did go to the hospital and tests were done and drugs given, but we soon understood that he wouldn't recover and we brought him home. The hospice nurses and caregivers were wonderful. All his children came as did many old friends. He died in his sleep in his bedroom with his wife and children there.

Both had advanced directives requesting minimal effort to prolong their lives. My grandfather here wanted no heroic efforts and "no machines". Even so, a lot of intense discussion among his children was involved in coming to peace and/or acceptance of what exactly that meant, what the moral and ethical implications of different interpretations were, and how best to carry out his wishes.

This is what I'm now doing and what I strongly encourage you to do now:

* Create an advanced health care directive for yourself. You can get forms and examples online.

* Consider the various situations one might end up in and lay out as explicitly as you can what you'd like to be done or not done to you. The more specific you are, the more likely your intentions will be followed and the less your family/loved ones may have to struggle with the interpretation.

* Talk to your your family and loved ones about your desires. It's a hard and awkward discussion to have but do it. Be clear and frank.

Takeaway: Have an advanced directive. Be as clear, specific, and explicit as you can about your desires. Share your desires with your family, loved ones, and care providers. It is helpful not only you but form them as well.

I'd like to think that the guys getting H1-Bs t come over to the US are a cut above average. Also since software engineering is one of the go-to occupations that people push their kids into in India, I imagine the low-end is a bit fatter there. So I would expect that the quality of Indian programmers in the US is better on average than it is in India, but that says nothing about the outliers.

>Your "arguments" are personal attacks

And here is the crux of the issue, as I've stated in the beginning: you're identifying perl as part of who you are (again, read up pg on ID) and taking negative facts or suggestions as personal attacks. An "irrational perl fanboy" (the only part that would be a "personal attack", though generally directed at unnamed persons) is someone who does this.

>since you don't even know the name of Perl, but write "perl"

lol, I don't know anything about perl because I don't bother myself with your conventions? I don't get why people get sensitive about this triviality. If someone through a fit about people saying LISP instead of lisp or Lisp I would assume they were probably retarded.

Ironically, I probably know perl better than you do. Have you ever written any XS code?

>Thanks for making my weekend, troll.

Again with the personal attacks. Honestly, looking back at this thread you stand out to me as more of a troll. Just as you did in that thread where pg called you out on it.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "loops". Can you clarify? Maybe it's because I'm not very familiar with SASS or SCSS. If what you mean is how do you go about not having to repeat certain properties I'm thinking of just simple mixins. Something like:

.circle-outlines-star (@radius: 15px) {
-o-border-radius: @arguments;
...other prefixes, shortened for brevity...
}

Then you'd just add that in wherever you want some radius like so:
.star-container {
.circle-outlines-star(optional radius override here);
...and more styles...
}
Yeah, super simple and just off the top of my head but hopefully I addressed the question about loops. I don't know if you mean loops in code or literally like spinning animated loops. It's like 3am, got insomnia, and I'm effing commenting all night. Shoot me.

Over time companies that outsource are going to come to terms with the failure of this bargain basement model and those companies will either improve or be replaced by new companies that provide "good enough" service.
My question was...
The code on which this example is based uses SASS loops. Given that LESS hasn't got support for loops, how would you generate the required classes etc?

Not having a shower hardly invalidates an entire transport system. Nor do I believe that much of the populace has a medical condition that makes it impossible to bike.

After a couple of years in Netherlands I strongly believe that to make the bike a success you obviously need a bike-suitable commute in terms of distance, but also, it needs to be safe. And that boils down to

- infrastructure that is designed for bikes and cars a like. Not some stupid painted lane as an after thought.

- Stringent traffic laws that protect the weaker traffic participant. In Holland for example, the burden of proof is for the more dangerous vehicle in a collision.

For this reason I am not a fan of bike-rental programs. I feel they are easy to implement (dump 20 bikes at train station) and get some political brownie points (see, we do bikes) yet change very little. Redesigning an intersection for safer passage is a whole different matter.

Inspiration? Have a look:

It is different for my hobby areas, where a lot of the textbooks are history, archaeology, and anthropology-related and relatively short (200-300 pages). The fact that there are occasional 500-600 page textbooks that take me a week or two are not a problem.

I find it strange that no one is mentioning UWIN[1], started by David Korn about the same time and with the same goals as Cygwin.

I used to use it. I liked the fact that it used the host compiler instead of gcc, plus I preferred the non-GNU tools.

Now I'm using Inferno, it works much better. It's not Unix, it's Plan9, but I view that as a plus. Of course cygwin can install all kinds of Unixy tools, like gcc, openssh, xterm and whatnot. Inferno doesn't come with anything, but I don't need anything except the basic Plan9 tools.

Wouldn't that better be:

addPtr :: Address (presize : Nat, size : Nat) -> (x : Fin size) -> Address ( presize + x, size - x)

presize = number of 'slots' available before the current value.

size = number of 'slots' available after the current value.

That would allow for later subtraction, too.

I think there are three physical ways to do this. With nosql they are all 'in model', including the relational one, with elements with both other keys as a key.

But the other two with a list of keys as part of the values is available too.
I have helped scale (non web) low latency systems in some pretty stressful situations.

In addition to the sage advice about monitoring / metrics, mentoring and not scaling until necessary I think the following are useful:

* Design Services not Software. In particular read "On Designing and Deploying Internet-Scale Services" (http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksAndPapers/JamesRH_Lisa.pdf) and at least the first chapter of "The Art of Unix Programming" (http://catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/)

* Get to grips with debugging and profiling so you can figure out what's really happening. Tools like sar, sysstat, [d|k|s]trace, tcpdump, gdb etc and the equivalents for your datastore & application frameworks are invaluable and unfortunately for whatever reason you inevitably won't have all the metrics and monitors you need.

* Do try to understand every layer of your service. I have helped debug scale out related issues from Layer 2 to Layer 8. I have also had to debug many Layer 1 issues while bringing up a new Site or similar. I may not be a DBA, Network Engineer or Software Engineer but in the past I have had to wear those hats while scaling.

* Despite comments elsewhere about learning through Mentoring and baptism-by-fire there is a lot of real engineering & science theory you can lean on. Looking back on courses I took in school while I didn't do any courses on Scalable Web Programming over the years I have used content from courses on Computer Architecture, Math including Queuing Theory and Statistics, Systems Programming (OS & Network).

Google Authenticator works pretty well already. I don't know the exact algorithm used, but I think it's public/private-key based?
There is a (mildly) compelling reason for every bank to have a stupid password rule which is mutually incompatible with every site in existence: it means that compromising that other site's identity:password dictionary and then running it against your bank results in zero successes. Regular users reuse passwords given the opportunity to do so, and most of them will happily cough up their bank password to, quite literally, any site on the Internet.

There's got to be some weird game-theory solution for "Maximize for security while simultaneously minimizing the sum of all accounts on the Internet which have a password that could possibly collide with a valid password on this site."

I completely agree with the sentiment of the post, I have to continuously go back to my KeePass database to lookup the more complicated passwords.

What's the simplest thing that could work to fix this problem once and for all? I get the impression that there simply isn't one.
Google Authenticator facilitates two-factor authentication. It's a very good complement, but it is not public-key authentication nor a replacement for passwords. SRP is probably the closest: http://srp.stanford.edu/

But the cost of taxi licences is significant in many cities. I doubt any local/state/federal government is going to let the possibility of driverless taxis proliferate without similar licensing schemes.

I agree that having a car running privately is a lower per-mile cost, but that discounts the number of 'dead' miles that a for-hire car drives - the private car always takes the person where they want to go, while ordering one up via the internet is going to at a minimum double the per-mile cost, because only half the miles (as an average) will be utilised. The car will also not always be in use because demand will never be that smooth, so the in-demand times have to be priced higher to make up for the quiet times. Then there has to be a higher insurance cost, plus a margin to cater for damage to the cab, booking systems, marketing, etc etc.

It's not that hard to see where a cost goes from the 50c/mile to the ~$4/mile which isn't far under the taxi cost.

Taxi drivers make just over minimum wage in most places. While the taxi (plate) owner does make a decent return if run well, it's not like there are a pile of taxi billionaires around. I'm just not convinced removing the driver is going to change the cost by an order of magnitude.
I can't speak for the person you're responding to but for me; ~400 pages of content, if it's dense I assume a pace of about 30 pages per hour, so about 14 hours of reading, maybe three hours of review total on top of that. If you're learning math concepts invest an hour or two of practice for every hour read.

If it's more light reading or less foundational I can do a bit less than page a minute. This week I trudged through EffectiveUI pretty mindlessly (a lot of O'Reilly books are very wordy and soft) in about six hours.

6 digits is indeed too easy to brute force as a password replacement (though it depends on the setting). I guess it could be used as a replacement for passwords if the keys were longer, longer sequences or maybe groups of words like S/KEY.

Btw: The SRP ciphersuites have become established as the solution for secure mutual password authentication in SSL/TLS, solving the common problem of establishing a secure communications session based on a human-memorized password in a way that is crytographically sound,

So I understand it still relies on a human-memorized password? How is it a password replacement?

To everyone considering a "NO CODE" tattoo after reading this story: Don't. If you're really that serious about not wanting to be resuscitated under any circumstances, wear some kind of bracelet or necklace with those words on it, and, just as importantly, a recent date, and contact info for a person who knows your exact wishes. Make sure to update the date regularly.

Medicine changes, and so do your life circumstances. If you're presenting an EMT with a ten-year-old, faded tattoo, you're placing them in an awkward position due to the lack of context. Is this a decision you made ten years ago and got stuck with, or are these your current wishes? They might end up disregarding your wishes just to be safe. A bracelet with a recent date will be much less ambiguous.

And remember, with all medical decisions, you want the ability to change your mind when medical advances are made or your circumstances change. Tattoo removal sucks.

Awesome rant.

In my mind, someone (browser vendors? security community?) should create a standard for handling interactions to do with passwords. Covering password length, characters allowed, characters required, case sensitivity, et cetera. Or perhaps a grading mechanism. Give it a catchy name and get some noted security researchers and clueful businesses to endorse it. You could even have a browser extension which points out to users which sites are handling passwords poorly or in an inconvenient way.

With respect to the issues with banking institutions: why not take it up with your congressperson, or write to the FTC and/or SEC? The FTC is charged with consumer protection, and this seems directly in line with that. Again, if there was a grading tool, the regulators could apply that.
