Interesting that you would phrase it that way. I was reading this thread and came back to it a few hours later so I saw the 1st follow-up, but not yours.

I would say that I'm in a similar boat right now, though I sometimes feel guilty for not chasing the startup. My wife, also a doctor, makes a ton of money. I make quite a bit of money. I like what I do, but it isn't all that fulfilling. However, we have a great family life with our two kids, 4 and 1. I don't think I could trade the family life for the dream of chasing a start-up right now. I've worked in several start-ups and know what it can take and I don't believe I would be willing to do that at this point in my life. Maybe in 10 years, definitely in 20.

That being said, I can understand what the other person said about being considered "non-ambitious". Think of it this way, some people (myself included) probably don't measure themselves by normal standards. I measure myself by the Gates' of the world. I've always done that. When I was playing sports, I didn't measure myself against the average or below average players and think "hey, I'm in the top 10% of this division/league/whatever", I would say "there are 10 people better than me and that cannot do". When I walk into the weight room or step onto the basketball court, I want to be considered the best. Not "one of the best", but "the best".

So, sometimes when a person like this mentally says they aren't going to go after something but still see others doing it, it it is hard on them in a variety of ways. Honestly, I can say that I feel like I'm going through a mini-midlife crisis realizing that I may well be 40 before I do my next start-up of my own and that is hard to take....even if I KNOW I'm making the best decision for my family, which is more important to me (meaning, I want a healthy marriage, well adjusted, well rounded kids more than I want the gulf stream jet).

So, all I'm trying to say is that the people on this board might well be the 1% or the top in their field, but they might also be the ones that only see the people that are better than them or have achieved more and by measuring against those people, they feel "non-ambitious/non-high-achieving".

Baby Beauty Products -Worth Buying or not?
Babies are God’s blessings and their care is every mother’s dream. Mothering a toddler is a difficult task and every mom wants everything best for her infant. Kid’s health comes foremost and baby beauty products are one way to pamper and protect your kid. But whether these kid’s cosmetics are worth buying??? We have the following view point but what matters is yours…
The article has, I think, one terrible point, which in turn is hiding one good point.

The terrible point is, basically, "men and women just can't help being sexually attracted to each other", and it permeates the entire article. Even when the author is attempting to question this basic premise it still warps his phrasing. Why is it terrible? Well, because it's not true, for one. But beyond that, it's a remarkably heteronormative idea; it comes coupled with an inherent mental model that everyone is heterosexual.

Consider: Is a male homosexual who hangs out with the other guys on his team going to be unavoidably attracted to every single one? If he hangs out with the girls on his team are they going to be unavoidably attracted to him? Does any homosexual individual, thus, unavoidably cause unrequited feelings of lust, no matter whom he hangs out with? Will a bisexual individual be unavoidably attracted to every person he meets? It it, say, just a feature of gay life that they are constantly frustrated as they keep meeting straight guys whom they can't help but be attracted to (whereas straight males can just avoid hanging out with females and remain unfrustrated)?

No. That's not how it works, for anyone, gay or straight. Apart from a few relatively rare mis-fires, we are only sexually attracted to people who are attracted to us. (This one of of the major misconceptions that led to restrictions on homosexuals serving in the military. And there's no question it's a misconception.) Most pairs of people - regardless of gender and orientation - simply don't have that sexual spark.

The good point hidden in the article is that American culture has no real idea of "friendship" in a sense that people from other cultures either now or historically would recognize as such. American's just don't have friends. We have weak acquaintencnes. Why? Nobody seems to know. But it's something that probably deserves more attention.

But in this context, the question "can men and women be friends", in the context of American culture, actually has an answer. "No". But since the same answer is true of "can men be friends" and "can women be friends", this doesn't mean quite what it seems. :)
I had no idea Chrome supported this, thanks for creating the user script for it!
I like the general direction this is heading. But, like Jaffa the cake, have trouble with "offensive slide decks will not be tolerated". (I'm thinking here of my slidedeck "You too can be a bedwetting antfucker" the title of which was suggested by the organisers of a conference).

What you mean is no slides that a normal, sane, liberal person could find seriously offensive.

Just a side-thought - so maybe nonsense - do you want to say " please report all incidents" and make it a bit classroom? How about "If you hear incidents of racism/ sexism/ being a dick, please call out the person, either personally or social media". Make it a self-policing community ?
I'm a big fan of keeping a firm, dry grip on reality while chasing after my entrepreneurial dreams.

I'm an entrepreneur with a business that is profitable, and with quite large ambitions, and all of that - I know EXACTLY how difficult it is and how lucky and persistent one has to be to make lots money or have a big exit, and I'm not there yet. Probably won't be for a while. I know that, because I live it every day I go in.

I think a lot of people (wantrapreneurs, basically) have this attitude where they think just because they compare themselves to ultra-high-achievers (the famous ones, basically), they think they're part of some exclusive club that has "high standards" or something.

Quite frankly that's bullshit, you either have achieved or you haven't, in my opinion the line of thinking that results in the conclusion that a successful doctor in the most expensive area of the richest state in the richest country in the world is to be looked down on, is just rampantly stupid.
I thought the whole aversion was based on the fact that power users, bots and search engine crawlers alike fake user agents all the time - meaning it's tough to draw any kind of useful conclusion or deliver a consistant user experience based upon this?
Lord of the rings draws its dramatic tension from evil and the threat or violence and death instead of sex.
At the very same time very small technical books aren't good either.

I mean to say small books with only facts in them, really don't help at all. They may serve well as a reference once you know everything about the subject not in general.

A good technical book is something that gives out some facts and then make you think about it. Shows you the possibilities of what can be done with the facts presented, how you can use them, and show you the far implications of the facts.

Its quite a rarity to read books like OnLisp, K&R C, Higher order Perl, The joy of clojure etc.
I agree that this should spur the Github developers to re-consider their current design, but I see nothing wrong with the general concept of using URL:s for navigating, just as I prefer the Unix shell over GUI:s for many tasks.

Jakob Nielsen wrote about that over ten years ago: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990321.html - I think the gist of his article still holds true.
Actually no it's not. Right now you have one package for an app, done. If you have multiple packages you have to think about getting the right one to the right device, so Mac => iOS syncing becomes more complicated. And that's just off the top of my head.

You are committing the common developer error of underestimating complexity. But when you get in there, I assure you, having one package per app is dramatically simpler.

People who write data structures just give up type-safety when doing so. They don't copy-paste code or write template processors, afaik. A Left-leaning Red-Black Tree, for example: http://gopkgdoc.appspot.com/pkg/github.com/petar/GoLLRB/llrb

Holding up Eclipse as an example citing performance is perhaps not the best idea. And Chromium seems to do just fine (performance-wise) using IPC between renderer processes and the main process.
Ok okay, you're right - I, the US military, the Marines, his commanding officers, and all of the legal reviews to date are all just wrong. Laugh.

In my experience, the technical books to avoid are the really fat ones with more than four authors. There is usually little coordination between authors, meaning inconsistencies, holes, repetition abounds.
You aren't thinking this through. A doctor with a successful career is basically one or two steps away from extremely high levels of success/achievement.

Think of medical device patents, positions of power on medical associations, university positions, etc.

Many people achieve this sort of thing later in life, not during their 20s like some kind of internet media darling. A lot of people actually have kids and do the family BEFORE seeking their large-scale success. This is actually what most people do.
Hardly unexpected. In the past year, Sony made more profits through its financial operations (investments and so on) than its numerous products divisions. When your core business is not the core of your profits, you have a problem.

Basically, yes. It does mean more work for you, for the benefit of the reviewers of the code. Arguably, it is more important to optimise for the readers of the change (many people, spread over time) than for the writer (one person, once).

If you use, say, git, you might commit every single, tiny change separately, on a private (local) branch; then use `git rebase --interactive` to reorder/merge the commits as necessary. This is the easiest way I have found, but it still involves more work.

If you wanted to take it further, you could have your editor automatically commit on every save, with a post-commit hook that takes your changes into a staging area, compiles/tests, and provides a report for each commit.

One plot point is about "smart dust" being used for total surveillance (everyone's facial expression, heart rate, etc. being monitored for irregularities at all times) and then subverted via a backdoor thousands of years old that's activated by the right sequence of body movements...

If there are any Lispers who lament the Lisp Curse, or some idiosyncracies of your favorite dialect of Lisp, and you have an open mind to give something new a shot, consider checking out Clojure.

I don't want to become one of those diehard __-advocates, but I'm pretty impressed with Clojure. Speaking from experience, I think it solves quite a few of the pitfalls mentioned in the OP. I wrote up an extensive post on how to learn Clojure, and veteran Lispers can jump to the end and catch the links of Clojure for Lispers:

The question is, what is the economic effect of a given number of computations? I believe it is decreasing at least as fast as energy efficiency is increasing. I don't have any data to back it up though.

But if I'm right and "economic effect" translates roughly into broadly perceived wealth (of which I'm not sure), then energy efficiency isn't rising in any meaningful way.
git-gui (part of the core git distribution) provides similar mousey-clicky staging -- you can stage hunks or individual lines at a time.
TBH, I don't know what your point is in the above. I think most people in the scenario would know they have achieved something by the world's standards, but might not have by their own. They are not incongruous thoughts.

I would agree that someone else thinking a doctor is an underachiever would be wrong, but I wouldn't say so if the doctor themselves said that.

So, for me, it is more about realizing that I would like to achieve that, but not at the sacrifice it would take to my family at this moment in time. So, well done for realizing that it takes quite a bit of hard work with equal amounts of luck. Good luck doing it and, if you get there, you will have earned it.
Okay fine. Then tell me how do you write javascript OOP; what's your favourite way. Can you give me an example of your code? I am willing to admit mistakes but I have to be convinced.
I came back to this PG essay on identity a couple of days ago. The essay discusses the points you mentioned and a compelling explanation for them:

I agree that it's achieving the goal of pushing Apple to improve working conditions although given that they started their improvement program in 2006, it's highly debatable whether the recent outrage has achieved anything that wasn't already happening.

It remains to be seen whether this will have any effect on other manufacturers.

It's such a huge generalisation and it's false.
Please make it open source as well as free of charge! It could be a useful example to extend.
In 1985, the physicist Richard Feynman calculated that the energy
efficiency of computers could improve over then-current levels by a
factor of at least a hundred billion (1011), and our data indicate that
the efficiency of computing devices progressed by only about a factor of
40,000 from 1985 to 2009

Copy-editing fail. Presumably he wanted 10^11, or a <sup> on the 11, there.
Paul Brigner, who was until last month a senior vice president at the Motion Picture Association of America says:

"The more I became educated on the realities of these issues, the more I came to the realization that a mandated technical solution just isn't mutually compatible with the health of the Internet."

If the MPAA could just start to realize how wrong they are. Maybe they could come up with a creative solution? Although piracy is a major problem, I don't think it will be solved with laws or rules, rather, I think the entire industry is about to be disrupted such that piracy won't even be on the radar.

Perhaps films will begin to include a new sponsored content aspect and with proper measurability the filmmakers will be compensated based on the spread of the film rather than exhausting their efforts to try and stop that spreading.

Just because someone doesn't want to pay to watch a film, doesn't mean they can't still provide value to the filmmaker.
Apologies. I misread your post because you were comparing Go to Java and C++, and I erroneously assumed the entire post was talking about those languages.

Not a stupid question, but it isn't their model. Some reasons why it isn't their model:

a) The primary customer of a VC firm is not an entrepreneur. Rather, it is a limited partner: a personal (natural or otherwise) who has tens of millions of dollars allocated out of a larger pile of hundreds of millions specifically for a bucket called Risk Capital in their portfolio allocation strategy. Their only mission for that money is Go Big Or Go Home: they're interested in assets which reliably pay 5% per year but NOT FROM THAT BUCKET. For that bucket they're looking for 20%+ a year over a 10 year period regardless of what happens in the generic stock market and they're willing to pay two and twenty to make it happen.

b) A VC fund is organized as a 10 year commitment between the VCs and their limited partners, and has to wind up at the end of 10 years. Having large amounts of residual illiquid value in the portfolio, like shares of a private company which pays dividends, are the opposite of a win condition. If you value the future dividend stream annuity-style at, say, $100 million NPV or give the VC the option of an acquisition by Google at $90 million in a later year of the fund, the VC will push for the acquisition every day of the week and twice on Sunday. They need that win before the fund closes and they lose the ability to take their 20% of the winnings from it (and primp it to investors in subsequent funds they may manage).

c) Just a social norm: US tech stocks do not historically pay high dividends -- they typically reinvest into new lines of business, like an office productivity company deciding to successfully remake the domestic videogame industry or unsuccessfully compete with their hated advertising company rival, or a domestic purveyor of status goods with microchips in them deciding to make smaller status goods with microchips in them and become the biggest company ever. There are exceptions -- MSFT pays a modest dividend and once did a gigantic distribution -- but they're largely marginal rather than decisive.

Sexual tension? In friendships? Wait a minute, why not? Let's don't be disingenuous, here. We love it, don't we? Isn't why we read books, go to movies, watch silly TV series? It works there because it's universal. We've all felt it.

I don't have to act on it if I don't want to but in some relationships it simply occurs, naturally. When it does, I try to refrain from doing violence to one of Life's most enjoyable feelings by denying it, repressing it or labelling it right off the stage with the sibling comparison.

> The question is, what is the economic effect of a given number of computations?

Which computations? Computations to render another monster on the screen of someone playing Doom 3? Near-zero. Computations run on a quant's computer to hint at a market trend? Potentially massive.

It isn't a question you can answer in general. I doubt it's even a question you can approximate an answer to in any sane fashion.

Revision Phase: Editing Never Ends
Revising means removing and adding contents to make the paper better. It means that nobody is ever really done. They just turn in our last and best draft. Here are some editing steps:
•	Read it aloud and mark any areas that don’t sound right
•	Look at all the punctuation marks – especially apostrophes
•	Make sure every paragraph moves the paper along
•	Eliminate passive verbs whenever possible
So that’s a basic strategy on how to write a research paper. Although writing a paper is never completely done, but these steps can help to get a paper finished.
It pollutes the global namespace, plus it is a common enumeration feature that you can give initial values to the enumeration elements, so I fail to see iota benefit.
خدمت وظيفه عمومي 21ماه شد/Public duty was to serve 21 months
I don't know if this is what you mean, but I use version-control diff, log, and annotate ("blame") extensively for finding the commit that introduced a particular feature, in the hope that the commit message or the diff for the entire changeset will shed some light.

Emacs has tools that make this fairly easy with any version-control system supported by Emacs.[1]

Presumably some of the web-based browsers provided by version-control tools offer the same functionality, but every one I have seen lacks the crucial feature of re-running "annotate" again starting from the revision just before the revision that last changed line X. Otherwise you're looking at "annotate" output for a whitespace change, and to get to something useful you must manually get the log for the file, find the previous revision to what "annotate" was reporting, and run "annotate" again from there.

I've also toyed with storing documentation in commit messages themselves. For example, I wrote a blog post[2] where all the code samples in the article reflect files tracked in a version-control system, evolutions in the code samples are different commits, and the text of the article itself is taken from specially-annotated text in the commit messages. Turns out (surprise surprise!) that this is totally unmaintainable, but it was a fun exercise.

Do you have any concrete examples/writeups of your approach?
