I think we are getting hung up on different usages of the word "efficient."

Government can be efficient at delivering a well-defined service, or meeting a well-defined goal. For example Medicare is a pretty efficient program, and we did make it to the Moon with NASA.

Efficiency can also refer to the allocation of capital toward innovations with the greatest expected payoff or outcome. This is where freely operating private markets outperformed government planning by a large margin during the 20th century.

I thought we were discussing this usage of "efficient" since cturner referred to "picking winners".

It has nothing to do with BMI - which is a terrible system of measurement by the way. I'm highly athletic and in great shape, and my BMI is 25. Which puts me right at the bottom of "overweight."

6' and 130 is very underweight - you don't have to look like a body builder, but your body does need some muscle to function properly. And 130 isn't enough.
I think the point is there may come the times when there two frameworks that depends on different version of dependencies. It could be the Backbone-UI and something else.

It would be okay if the consumer code is dependent on all the libraries. But if one of your framework is dependent on certain version of library and another one depends on another version of the said library, that is disaster waiting to happen. It would be hard to upgrade one framework , hence making it hard to move forward since your code is all tangled to all the frameworks.
Y NOT JUST USE OPENCL FOR GRAPHICS LOL MORON
For the system I've been working on for the past year, most domain-ish objects extend from a class called AbstractImmutableObject which implements both hashCode() and equals() as final methods. Then, subclasses are forced to implement a "collectObjects()" method which effectively creates an array of instance variable references (plus autoboxed primitives) for a deep implementation of equality and a guaranteed consistent hash code. Immutability currently is enforced by convention, but I think FindBugs could help out. Presuming that all the instance variables in the graph of AbstractImmutableObjects are primitives or JDK objects with consistent hash functions, the resultant hashcode will be consistent as well.

[As an aside, I dislike this sort of utility base class, but it's a small price to pay for avoiding awful bugs related to hashcodes being inconsistent with equals, etc.]

I also argue that computing a hash on a serialization of an object graph is problematic as well. What are the rules for computing the hash of a serialization of a set of Strings? Must one sort the Strings before serializing them to ensure that any two Sets with the same values have the same hashcode? Sets are not required to maintain an ordering and equals() on sets ignores order (but not on SortedSet), so I would expect my "distributed" hashcode to be the same for any Set containing the same Strings. Such a scheme couples my serialization scheme tightly with my rules for equivalence. As I like to use serialization schemes written by others when possible and I don't want to eat the cost of serialization whenever I want a consistent hashcode, I'd prefer to decouple these ideas.

Recently, I've gone a step further with our domain objects and have written a generator of builders and instances using dynamic proxies (just the out-of-the-box JDK 1.3 era stuff). Developers just define interfaces, and unit tests enforce rules about what objects may be contained within the object graphs. This makes it really simple to implement things like round-trip JSON ser/deser. Because the realm of possibilities is so limited, it's easy to ensure correctness.

[As an aside, I'd love to have a DSL for such domain objects and then write a bunch of dynamic pieces parts for serialization, meta-stuff (creating a Guava function in a literate sort of way for any path through a domain object, etc.), builders, etc. I guess this is one step down the rabbit hole of model driven development, but I'm looking for something a bit lighter than, say, AndroMDA).]
Thanks for your response. Users I am initially targeting are based in Singapore but eventually it should be able to cater people from all over the world, and the service I would like to use ( Stripe ) is from US. That means there is a lot of hidden charges incurred while converting SGD to USD by the customer bank based in Singapore ( or in other countries. ) Therefore, the most important parameters for me is minimizing the charges and ability to expand to other countries.

I grew up in the DC area (Virginia side), and myself and others there never considred it "the South." I always thought of it as the dividing line between North and South. This always seemed natural to me, since Virginia seceded in the Civil War, and Maryland did not.

That's a good way to describe it. There's been a lot of crappy 30 minute tech shows, with CNET TV (has local versions produced in suprisingly many countries) being the latest one I've been exposed to (and one of the worst.)

The same was once true of game-review shows. But in Australia at least, the show "Good Game" (and the for-kids spinoff "Good Game Spawn Point") have completely amazed me with it's quality and the hosts being the kind of people who would watch the show.

Sorry for the long-winded post, but I find it hard to articulate the huge shift that happens going from a technology show that's basically shows paid-for advertising to ones that are GOOD.

I hope somebody can make the weekly 20-30 minute show that I crave, but can't articulate :)

Going the extra mile to prevent a country which is your avowed enemy and an avid supporter of major international terrorist organizations is not "hypocritical" it's the very definition of sanity.

The Iranians are decent people on the whole. The Iranian regime is not the sort of organization you want having control of anything sharper than a crayon.
Yeah, it'll be incredible to see that kind of precision with just retro rockets, imagine travelling down in that with no wings and no parachute!
Nope. It's a prediction. you simply know what his goal is.
Heh for this I like Cheops' Maxim: "nothing is ever built on time or within budget." There's also Hofstadter's Law: "it always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's law."
Right. And numbers like 117 and 119 secretly trick (at least) me into thinking they are prime.
I don't think that's an entirely accurate backstory.

The facutly are in revolt because the Board fired the President without warning or stated cause. Eventually, the Board said the cause was that the President, who is in the process of making cuts, was not acting fast enough.

For the other stuff, to add to the budgetary woes, the amount of state money that the public universities in Virginia receive (not just UVA) has dropped significantly.

A bit OT, but your methodology is flawed. That something is repeatable does not imply that repeating it is desirable. Creating a startup is lots and lots of hard work - assuming we're talking about proper FU money, they'd be crazy to give up financial freedom to prove a point.

Or a simpler example: you discover that you're out of milk, drive to the store, pick up a carton, stand in line, pay and drive back. You're tired and your favorite TV show is on in five minutes. If I ask you to throw away the milk and go back to the store for another, does that prove that getting milk isn't a repeatable process?

Check the rest of the thread. There's a good Washington Post article which summarizes the situation.
I do not know the details, but it does seem incompetent to identify German (language of the most important economy in Europe) and the classics as marginal departments which must be eliminated in the name of economic efficiency.

A vendetta against the humanities perhaps, but economic efficiency? Neither are departments likely to have soaring costs: all you need is a classroom and professor. Lecturers in the classics will probably not even break 50k, while language classes are even cheaper since they're often offloaded to graduate students teaching from standard texts. As long as there are students opting to take those courses, they should be printing money for the university.

So unless there has been gross mismanagement of these departments for decades (aggressive hiring and declining enrollment), it is hard to believe that costs could get out of line. And closing down popular and should-be-profitable classes in order to funnel students to other departments in the name of economic efficiency is a very strange move.
My Photoshop setup
The specific issue that bit me wrt units of time was seconds vs. milliseconds. This came up the first time I needed to mix PHP time stamps with Jenkins build log time stamps. One is in seconds, the other in milliseconds. Unfortunately the PHP date() function exhibits odd behavior when a time stamp contains two extra digits. I could have saved myself the debugging time had I not been so attached to the assumption that time stamps are always in seconds rather than sometimes in milliseconds.
Ironic that you should link to that page, given that your grandparent post contains the phrase "250W per hour or essentially a .25kW-hour".
I would give serious consideration to taking an Improv Comedy class. If you can't, I'd like to share the concept of "Yes, and--"

Invariably something will go wrong during one of your presentations.

A slide will look funny.
There will be a weird noise from outside.
An audience member will say something strange.

The idea behind "Yes,and-ing" in improv is basically you treat every single thing as if it were planned and part of what you were doing, rather than negating it or ignoring it, which is dishonest and creates a disconnect.

I've given three presentations in my life (all this year) and each time something went wrong I ran with it and the audience responded very positively. My slide about "Internal Leaks" was missing the first two letters. Second time public speaking. Crap.

Instead of negating ("Oh this was supposed to say Internal"), I Yes-And'ed.

"Up next, a very important problem, Ternal Leaks." And I then verbally chopped off the first two letters of the next slides (verbally), my name, my company name, and closed with "Anks, I hope you enjoyed it."

(Yes, it's a little corny, but it breaks the wall between audience and speaker. I find, in life, if you make someone really laugh, even if it's just once, everything else works out.)

jwz, if you've been following him, is inherently pragmatic. He's a follower of the philosophy that the computer, and by extension the frameworks and languages to program it, should be subservient to the programmer. They shouldn't tell you how to live your life or behave like a stubborn mule when, for whatever well intentioned reason, people decided to overhaul the spec everyone depended on.

I think his argument is that OpenGL ES should have had an "optimal" mode, where performance is best using the newer calls, and "compatible" mode, where if you don't care about performance and just want to port, you can get by. This appears to be what the jwzgl layer does.
Thank you so much. I will show to my son
The real metric is density of funding. I don't just mean potential funds, but frequent funding of startups.

For example, Utah has a pretty high concentration (per capita) of startups, but investors are extremely risk averse. I've heard countless tales of startups having difficulty getting local funding and looking elsewhere.

Seven years is not a long time. My toaster is older than that, and I like to think the people who made that would be embarrassed if those cheap moving parts had decayed so quickly.

You probably have enough horsepower at your disposal to emulate each and every computer you ever bought (simultaneously!) and run all that software forever. But instead we're going to require any tool you want to use to be rewritten half a dozen times over the course of your career alone. And why? Because fuck you, we just can't be bothered to start taking engineering seriously.

The problem is the user has to re-enter their password with each server call, which will probably reduce the completion rate.
Hmmm. Drop me a line.
Life of a C++ Standard
This is good but what I really want is SMS integrated with email. Think about it SMS is a text based conversation just like email- how much better would it be to have all the other functions of email (especially gmail) tagging, archiving, threads, filters, ability to mark as SPAM.

SMS as a separate product made sense when it was first introduced- email on phones didn't exist. But in 2012 it's time they were integrated.

As an aside I also wish that carriers would stop doing voicemail and the various (broken) text->voice services and just record the message as an MP3 (low quality is good) and message it to me- again having it turn up in my mailbox would be even better.
>Where did I propose that he should simply say "I disagree" and move on?

Your example of rude text boiled down to "I disagree", once you stripped the profanity. Sorry for the confusion.

Anyway, nVidia doesn't really give a shit about integrating better with Linux and I must say that I, if I were in their position, would not either. Their engineers, more than anyone, fully understand everything Linus could have possibly said. They know the issue inside and out already, and their best option simply isn't the best option for everyone else.

Linus knows this, and didn't waste his breath.
6'1" and 150 lbs is not anywhere close to "way too skinny". It's well within the normal range of BMI. Sure you don't look like Schwarzenegger. But that's very different from being way too skinny.

Thank you. It's such a refreshing sight as just 3 months ago, Elon was visibly quite disappointed in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJnW7vtqaf4&feature=relat...

Just look at Elon's excitement at the 9:36 mark of this video as well as all of SpaceX employee's enthusiasm. This was truly a huge success despite the challenging odds.

Looking forward to the future Grasshopper mission. Perhaps it will fail at its first few attempts just like the Falcon1, but with Elon's determination and his excellent team of engineers, I believe they can do it. They have already proven themselves during the darkest times in SpaceX history. Skip to [38:30] to hear it from Elon himself. http://www.bloomberg.com/video/73460184-elon-musk-profiled-b... And his reaction after Falcon9 successfully launched on the very first try. [39:12] All that hardship and pain, totally worth it.

We will be victorious, indeed.
