It is especially interesting because doing the calculation itself is procrastination.
An interesting argument and a straw-man argument. Let's deal with the straw man first. Just because you have no use for the extra speed doesn't mean others do not. In addition, systems / uses for the speed will only be built when the number of people with access to it is growing. Therefore, there will be early adopters where the speed will gain them little initiallly, but over time we will develop more services that need it.

Now let's deal with the remote people problem. There are already efforts underway to more efficiently service outlying areas. These generally revole around WiMax and things like Lightspeed (although that looks dead for the moment). People who live far from cities will not be served as well. That's they way it will always be do to the economics of population density, hence the reason that serving those environments typically include long range wireless. Second, since when do we need to get everyone at the same level before we move forward? Would we be where we are now in personal computing if we stopped in 1996 to make sure everyone had a computer before we built faster ones? We can continue in the same way we have with universal access fees supporting access to non-city dwellers, but that's no reason to prevent progress in cities.

Although to further nitpick, your proposed substitution doesn't quite do the same thing, since it searches every directory below the pwd, rather than what's in the pwd.

Agreed on quoting.

I'd also like to see something on substitutions which I find useful, like:

for file in quad_{upper,middle,lower}_{left,centre,right}.dat; do echo "$file"; done

I'd throw in a line or two about the difference between sourcing and executing a shell script, too. Not that this is sh-specific, but I often encounter folks who don't know how they're different, or why, and are perplexed by the behaviour.

I can speak to this. Many large clients have the ability to hand out small evaluation projects without competitive bidding. So, they can hire you to do a 10K or whatever evaluation but are required to put the resulting 100K implementation through an RFQ process.

The eye-opener for me quite some years back was discovering that most of the RFPs we saw were the result of an evaluation like the one described, we were being asked to quote, blind, against the firm that had been paid to write the RFQ in the first place.

One tl;dr of this article could be, "Stop responding to RFPs written by your competition and look for opportunities to write the RFPs yourself."

Coincidentally, I'm about to go off to college, where I'm sure I'll be sorely tempted by "intelligence enhancers" like Modafinil. Even in my high school there is rampant abuse of Adderall and other stimulants. Thanks for the timely discussion of their effects - although I'm not predisposed towards taking them, I've now got some good information on why there's no need to do so.
Sorry, parent wasn't being specific. "Large aperture" here means large in an absolute sense, not in the sense of the aperture number. For example, I have an absolutely amazing f/2.8 lens for my RZ67; but f=110mm so the aperture is a whopping 40mm across. I also have a nice f/2.8 lens for my D40, but f=35mm so the aperture is 12mm which is pretty good. And I have yet another f/2.8 lens for my iPhone, but f=3.85mm so the aperture is about 1.4mm.

The angular resolution can be computed from the actual size of the aperture in mm (and the wavelength of the light you are interested in) and you do not need to know anything else. So my RZ67 has a maximum angular resolution of about 1 arc second, the D40 is limited to 4 arc seconds, and the iPhone is limited to 32 arc seconds.

The lenses are roughly equivalent in FOV, although the iPhone is slightly wider so it's actually a bit better than the numbers above indicate. The high resolution of the better cameras is also more limited by shake, and the actual aperture used will often be smaller; whereas an iPhone will be used more often wide open. Small lenses are more difficult to manufacture well, and lenses used wide open reveal a breadth of lens defects that a more reasonable aperture does not.

But f/2.8 is still unimpressive if f is small.
Oh, sorry, I thought they were doing the opposite (upsampling to 41 MP from 5MP effective).
It is not only cleaner, it is also safer. In Python you have to add checks explicitly, or your program may try to execute a method on None. When using the Maybe or Either monad in Haskell, failure is always handled. Say that you have a sequence of three functions that return a Maybe value:

do
b <- f a
c <- g b
h c

Now, suppose that in a particular case f a returns Nothing, then the whole do-expression will evaluate to Nothing and g Nothing is never evaluated.

Failure monads do not only add cleanliness, but also safety.

> Okay, so what does this mean? I thought it was `f x -> x * x` is a function definition, right? Or am I completely mistaken here?

In this case, it's a type signature for a curried function. So

a -> m b

is a function taking a value of type `a` and returning a value of type `m b`. In C# you would write:

Function<A, M<B>>

so `m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b` is a function taking a value of type `m a` and a function with signature `a -> m b` and returning a function of type `m b`. Translating to C# again,

Function< M<A>, Function<A, M<B>>, M<B> >

> Or am I completely mistaken here?

Pretty much yeah. In haskell, a function is either a top-level binding:

someFunction arg = doSomething arg

or an anonymous function which is introduced by the character `\` (because `\` looks like `λ`, kind-of):

\arg -> doSomething arg

In the expression you quoted, there is no function name, these are all types. The function name in this case is `(>>=)`

Quick Productivity Trick: Capture Distractions
Marketing for this particular product is irrelevant. Only cost matters. If it becomes cheap to mass produce, governments around the World will slowly start legislating [1] to either make meat from animals illegal to produce, or prohibitively expensive (through taxes) for the majority of people to buy. Meat from animals would become a luxury item.

If it's cheap and it tastes nice, most people wont care where it came from.

[1] Given the state of politics in the US, it would probably be incredibly difficult for such legislation to come into existence there. I suspect Europe would lead.

This is very important.

A typical phone has a 1/8" sensor. The iPhone 4S has a 1/3.2" sensor, which captures 6 times more light.

The N8 has a 1/1.9" sensor, so it captures almost 3 as much light as a 4S. 1/2" sensors are standard for point and shoot cameras, so differences in quality between point and shoots and the N8 would be mostly attributable to the optics of the respective cameras.

The 808 has a 1/1.2" sensor, so it captures 2.5 times as much light as the N8.

If you're keeping track, that's 44 times better than a typical camera phone.

This size is comparable to the worst compact DSLR's (the four-thirds system used by Olympus and Panasonic), although even cheap DSLR's are likely to have much better optics than a camera.

>Each layer of convenience has a penalty.

That's only true if you can beat the layer implementation, and frankly I don't know any programmers (including myself) that would beat a optimizing compiler in code generation.

>It's not like software (especially games) is static, so that the managed/native gap will get insignificantly imperceptible at some point.

Here you go : http://deltaengine.net/ - used in this game : http://soulcraftgame.com/ a pure managed game engine, cross platform (works on iOS, Android, WP, Windows - XBox/Linux/OSX planned next, possibly ported to other consoles). Also look up indie game titles, XNA, Mono games, etc. It's not AAA stuff, but I never claimed otherwise. Simple tools are far more valuable than performance in many scenarios.
If new works are still being produced - and right now, they're being produced more than ever - we know there is enough.

This I would think is partly due to having some copyright protection for their works.

* Define "better work". *

I don't think there's a universal definition, but higher budget works or just more lower budget works that might appeal to different people.

Possibly, but again, I don't find that relevant.

it's relevant because piracy of certain works more than others will mean that stuff that gets highly pirated becomes less lucrative to produce. Think PC gaming as an example of this.

And we also don't have legal coercion for many other things. Fashion, for example, does not rely on copyright and still manages to be a vibrant community of creation.

Fashion relies on trademarks to protect labels, also having an expensive fashion item is a way to visibly display wealth as much as anything else, movies and music don't really work like this.

Show me another industry where the marginal costs are essentially 0. Music, movies, software, etc creation is different from most other industries for that fact alone.

Marginal costs are low but the up front costs can be very high , this needs to be recouped somehow.

Yes, they should be able to use it for something I might deem distasteful. I don't like censorship. If they misrepresenting my views, then they're defaming me. I don't need copyright to protect myself from that.

I don't like censorship either but if I say wrote a song that was adapted and used as an anthem for a racist group I wouldn't be pleased with that.

They don't have to misrepresent your views directly but they can make you seem guilty by association and it is hard to get damages for that.

Sure. In fact, if more money alone makes a better song, I question the artistic quality of that work.

Or simply a larger marketing budget gets it out in front of more people, not necessarily a bad thing but surely it seems reasonable that the original author can dictate at least some terms of use?

No, why should I?

Because it encourages parasitic business models , the guy who created the work has created more value than the guy who put adverts around it but the economic incentive is to be the latter.
When reading this rebuttal, keep in mind that it was written in 2010 while the FQA was written starting in 2007, and apparently based on the author's experiences with much older tools. All other things aside, if your compiler frequently miscompiles templates, using them is probably not a good idea.
To be fair, that's what every webcam on the market does. (Logitech advertises 5 MP photos from a 1280x720 sensor on the C310. They're more than doubling the resolution in software.)

Maybe being a macro derivatives trader at an investment bank with a multitrillion dollar balance sheet put me on STRATFOR, Kroll, IGI, Dilligence and Troika's (Russian) default-to-dumbass lists, but the information STRATFOR released to subscribers was on par with what we commissioned, the only difference being I could commission research as a corporate customer while as a personal subscriber it's a one-way relationship.

Every potential conspiracy need not be one. If STRATFOR really didn't care about distributing its research it could do what the other private intelligence firms do and be client-only.

The problem is that most people's response is "I'd rather give up on it than get over it", so we wind up with a math-illiterate society.

Oh my, forget it.
I am a scientist (astronomy) and I write software for my project. Its all standard, but EVERY single astronomer that you ask, has a different interpretation of the standards. And everybody has his/her own special reason, why he/she prefers some hacked code from the internet to our beautifully perfect software that even provides guis for standard work. Either it is crappy, or it requires too many resources.

And then, scientists don't talk. Our colleagues are sitting in their office, waiting for software developers who can read their minds (it's all standard). It is incredibly hard to get good requirements that are accepted by more than one scientist as good requirements.

I always say something like, "here is your project evaluation, based the current desires/spec for your project. Certainly things can be add, removed, re-prioritized. When work begins this should be seen as a living document that grows and evolves with the project."

The initial evaluation will help you fill out your client's backlog, and also understand how many people (with what skillets) you need on the project.

So, think of it as getting paid to do Agile Project Manager work. At least how I see it. :-)
They did that in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The local paper is now annarbor.com. It's terrible. They don't really have any professionals left.

Ostensibly they cover my neighboring town as well, but they just run the police crime blotter and auto-post Eastern Michigan University's press releases. They are still losing a ton of money.

I think the difference is that a proposal is "here's how I would implement your requirements as documented" while an evaluation is a bit more than that. It's "Here's what problems you are having. Here's what you say you need. Here's what we think you need." and maybe "Here are a few ways we could go about helping you."

The goal is not to just deliver a proposal based on an incomplete spec, but rather to help the customer understand their problems better.
There's still a lot of Argentineans that were trained during the times of obligatory military service.

They'll probably still be very badly trained in comparison to the UK soldiers, but saying Argentina can only field 68,000 troops is incorrect.

That said, I'm pretty certain Argentina would lose an eventual war with the UK over the Falklands/Malvinas.

I'm annoyed at Cristina Kirchner's "bread and circuses" strategy with regards to this, diverting attention from the economic disaster that is brewing (and which will strongly affect us here in Uruguay).
