American markets will not accept lab meat.

I say this based on the reaction to what was dubbed "pink slime" and about which the media and the public flipped out. The result is that a completely safe and efficient process to increase yield came under fire because of hysteria grounded in not a whit of logic.

People are also whipping themselves into a frenzy about genetically modified organisms. They're also convincing themselves that organic food is what they should have been eating in lieu of food treated with chemicals(1).

So if a public that is generally ignorant about food production is (over)reacting to existing scientific enhancements it follows that the reaction to a completely scientificly generated product would not be met with acceptance.

(1)Certified organic food is often treated with chemicals, sometimes the same chemicals as non-organic, but at different dilutions and with different application methods.

> Were his ultimate ruling that the general "structure, sequence and organisation" is not protectable to be reversed on appeal, the higher court might simply reinstate his jury's verdict. This gives the appeals court more alternatives as it need not worry about an expensive retrial.

Terrible title. In addition to the article saying nothing about a "cure" (as jinushaun pointed out), the substance in question was found a long time ago. What was actually found were the genes responsible for producing it. The "heroin plant" is what most people call an opium poppy. Heroin is a synthetic drug made using morphine as one of the precursors -- opium poppies contain no heroin per se. Cancer cure -> wrong. Found -> wrong. "Heroin plant" -> wrong.

Android Tutorial #1: Introduction
The real question is how do we define "success"? Is success making a lot of money? How much is enough to qualify as "successful"?

We tend to narrowly define success based solely on extrinsic values like money and status, rather than intrinsic values like mastery, purpose, and happiness.

I think the author is saying that focusing on mastery is more likely to lead to "success" in the form of happiness and a greater sense of purpose, regardless of whether or not it also leads to material wealth. Personally, I agree with this more holistic view of success.
IMHO SICP is a pretty practical book, since it teaches, regardless of the programming language, how to build abstractions in order to control complexity.

Which country whose ideology was officially Communist is or was least bad for its people?

I'm not a scholar of ex(communist) states but I'm thinking either Cuba or the former Yugoslavia. I am not aware of any attempt to bring communism into practice that could be called a humanitarian success. The other totalitarianism isn't exactly great either but it at least seems less murderous internally.

If I believed all politicians were power hungry amoral bastards then this wouldn't be that strong of evidence against communism but depressingly enough they're mostly sincere[0]. Communism appears to be a wonderful system for social insects. Humans, not so much.

[0] It would be extremely surprising if they didn't show the same over representation of psychopaths as corporate executives but that still leaves 24 out of 25 politicians as moral creatures.

In Devlin's article, doing math is conflated with a formal education in it. He should know better as he has previously endorsed heavy criticism of the latter: http://www.maa.org/devlin/devlin_03_08.html

"...our present system of mathematics education is precisely this kind of nightmare. In fact, if I had to design a mechanism for the express purpose of destroying a child’s natural curiosity and love of pattern-making, I couldn’t possibly do as good a job as is currently being done— I simply wouldn’t have the imagination to come up with the kind of senseless, soul-crushing ideas that constitute contemporary mathematics education."

"Transpiler" is a subset of "compiler", so it can hardly be a demeaning term. A transpiler is simply a compiler that translates code from language A to language B where A and B have roughly the same abstraction level. It is true that CoffeeScript is slightly more abstract than JavaScript in a few features (although JavaScript's inheritance model is more abstract than CoffeeScript's classes, for example), but any difference in abstraction level is tiny compared to the difference between, say, C and assembly.
The term "cloud" is nebulous at the best of times, but I think most people would disagree that "renting servers" == "cloud".

Had he told the jury "API's are not copyrightable", and the jury found Google guilty, and then he ruled later "API's are really not copyrightable" then he would have set aside the jury verdict of guilty.

Then, had his ruling of "API's are not copyrightable" been reversed, the jury guilty verdict would have been reinstated.

Going this route, the jury's decision is independent of the finding of "can API's be protected by copyright" because the jury found no guilt while assuming that API's could be protected. So even if the judge's decision of "no copyright on API's" is reversed, the jury's verdict of not-guilty remains, because it was made by assuming "API's can be protected by copyright".

The tendency is to fill up your task software with dozens of projects and tasks under each project. But the more you look at your projects and tasks every day for the next few weeks, it gets discouraging. It feels like a never-ending river of stress.

Two points on GTD that deal with this:

- Part of writing everything to down is to get it out of your head so you don't worry about it. If you have a bunch of big detailed lists and a lot to do, you don't have to get stressed out over it. That's frequently a hard choice for many to make, and the review process/50k foot view in GTD can help with this.

- GTD also encourages self assessment of what you feel up to doing. You need to be aware of what jobs you'd undertake given your amount of time and energy.

Treating GTD just as a way to empty the mind and organize your tasks is only a small part of the entire system. Half implementing it can definitely be more stressful than fully embracing some of the concepts.

Hi HNers,
OP here. Cull.io is similar to top coder or interviewstreet but focussing just on recruiting web developers. It works by asking candidates to develop a web app on localhost instead of presenting a textarea where candidates types the code.

Advantages:

1) Candidates can virtually choose any language, framework, libraries or IDEs to solve the challenge. (Since they are developing on localhost with their own setup)

2) Because of 1) you need not limit your challenge to be overly algorithmic. You can for example ask questions like 'Pick the most popular article on hacker news today'

Disadvantages:
Limited to candidates who can develop a web application
Maybe, maybe not, but SICP certainly is an idiosyncratic book. Its choice of examples, like using complex number, cartesian coordinate, polar coordinate to illustrate interface/implementation distinction, seems designed to interest MIT undergraduates, not average programming beginners. I believe the same content can be delivered in more appropriate examples.
Performance consideration for Async/Await and MarshalByRefObject
Interesting idea, but what stops me from just writing the content instead of programming it?
If you're saying the article is uninformed, I think that's unfair. It's clear that the author actually went through the book.

In any case, I'm not sure how far we'll get by substituting his implicit definition of "practical" - allows you to start getting stuff done quickly - with another: "teaches you to build abstractions to manage complexity." What I mean is, a debate over the meaning of the word "practical" doesn't seem like much fun.

I think it's clear that the author thinks SICP, Lisp, and other languages considered "impractical" are in fact valuable to those who want to advance as programmers.

What's most interesting to me, however, is that he's encouraging people to really dig into the magic of programming. And here I think we have a problem.

Since November I've been learning Common Lisp and as of a couple days ago I've been learning Clojure. It's awesome! It's magical. But it's such a pain in the ass to get everything set up! It took me a few hours to finally get Clojure working with swank in emacs without having to use Leiningen. I still don't know how to build a common lisp executable and have no idea where to work.

I feel like those wish want to just learn a language in itself are pretty well served. However, there's a huge gap between the readily-available information we have on a language itself and the information we have on how to actually use that language to build real things.

I've actually started trying to address this at http://nonbeginners.com (So far I've only made progress on the Ruby section. Github: https://github.com/flyingmachine/nonbeginners) , though really I don't know if this is the best approach. My thinking is that, by having an outline of all of the larger environmental concerns involved in using a language, it will make it easier to both find the relevant information and produce it as members of a language community become consciously aware of the kind of information that needs to be made available.
It scares me because it is letting your front-end pick your stored procedures with very little restriction.
