I really wouldn't consider MythBusters a good source. The test they came up with for the snow plow episode is so far from a proper model, it gave exactly the wrong results and basically told folks something wrong and dangerous. It is fun entertainment and they try hard within those bounds, but they get stuff totally wrong sometimes.

Right. USB 2.0 is already packetized with a MTU larger than ethernet already. The net overhead for the USB stack is near zero. It's true that fancy ethernet devices can do things like TCP or encryption offload, scatter-gather DMA for zero-copy transfers, etc... And clearly this isn't going to do that stuff. But if all you want is to get packets on and off the wire, there's nothing wrond with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed.

Their incentives cannot be completely aligned by definition. One views you instrumentally, the other doesn't. But it can be difficult to tell because, as you point out, there can be some alignment and even some truth in the advice of persons who want to exploit your ability. This is why I suggest erring toward taking advice from the dead. This has the virtue of being the most disinterested advice. It takes experience to follow advice from the living. Most of this is noise. Look for alignment with the advice of the dead, especially if this has withstood the test of time. You should note that my attempt to defend my advice from criticism is already validating my thesis, which is that you should not take my advice until after I am dead, and that goes double for my contemporaries.

Fever's scoring doesn't really work for me. I think my requirement is much like yours - I just need to be able to skim quickly through content. I can read quickly and skip over items of no interest. It helps to keep my list of feeds culled to the best so I don't get a lot of dupes. Having a responsive UI is important too; greader's web UI was not that great for me in that regard.

>Not 100% sure how it related to the post

It's related only in the sense that your post implied that you're filtering out the advice you've been given. And I wanted to add this in because I think its the most important thing, and easy to lose sight of.

One more thing, before I forget: another useful thing to do is to contrast "make things that people want to buy" with some common alternatives: "make cool things" or "make something the way it should be made" or even "think about how to make things". These are all easy traps to fall into.

In many ways, I feel like "make things people want to buy" is the economic equivalent of the Buddhist prescription to end suffering, "Eradicate craving and aversion." Simple enough sounding, but it has far-reaching repercussions and quite a lot of fruit for thought.

I'll look up Dalio - although strictly speaking he is wrong. There are plenty of ways to make money without making what people want. For example, any kind of passive income. You would have to stretch the definition of "thing" beyond breaking to let it describe "capital". Passive income is at best a kind of 'second-order' "making things" fraught with every kind of moral hazard.
If sub-penny pricing is needed, usually myridollars (10^-4) suffice. Your example requires millidollars. I'm curious if there's a natural use case requiring sub-myri resolution.

I'm sorry, but that is just fallacious. There are plenty of people who aren't involved in any given project, but would still be qualified to give decent advice.

Developers should consider random opinions, just not if they conflict with the direction of the software. If a number of users have similar grievances, that is an indicator that something needs to be fixed, or maybe the direction of the software should be changed slightly.

That's if the developer intends the software to be widely-used, of course

I bought a Rogue S2, the matching bench and dip accessory, a set of bumpers, Pendlay Bearing Bar, and some rubber mats from the Tractor Store. Put it in my basement. Sure beats having to run to the gym or wondering if it will be open on certain days or the hours. I don't know why you would need or want all those other accessories you mentioned. I like to keep it simple though. It doesn't take up much storage either. Before I bought my current home, I rented out a climate controlled U-Haul to use it.

If it progressed to the point of a true medical emergency, I suspect the kit at least had the equipment necessary for a 'quick and dirty' suprapubic aspiration of the bladder (stick a longish needle in from the front, and use a syringe to pull fluid out).

Generally speaking, this is done with an ultrasound, but in a pinch, you could likely just palpate the bladder.

Why I Recommend Against Hackety Hack
Minus a laryngoscope and other vital airway kit items. Although I couldn't imagine trying to use one on the aisle of an aircraft, I'm sure there are many paramedics, anesthesiologists, and ER nurses and physicians who wouldn't hesitate if one were needed. All there appears to be for airway support are oropharyngeal airways. That's surprising and in my opinion (as someone with long-expired EMT training), unfortunate. The same goes for AEDs. A $2000 kit that could save someone's live from being claimed from the most common group of disease in the Western world (cardiovascular diseases) should be a no-brainer aboard a 200 million dollar aircraft. People are helpless at 30,000 feet and it's the airlines' responsibility to have the equipment available for qualified medical professionals who happen to be on board in the event of an emergency. AEDs could even be used by steward/esses who had undergone minimal training.

> His frustration appears to stem from (rightful) presumptions that a kernel developer would not make such newbie mistakes.

Everybody makes mistakes including Linus.

His frustration appears to stem from the fact that the developer was blaming the user space program, rather than to immediately recognize the bug as a kernel problem.

But as a team leader you don't start yelling at people like that, this is unacceptable behaviour for someone of Linus' stature. It's immature and damaging to the community in the longer term even if in the shorter term it may have the desired effect.

Imagine you're working somewhere and your boss berates you in front of the whole world for some error.
"It teaches you ways of thinking about problems that are useful even when you aren't using C."

That's a strange thing to say considering that, as a C programmer, you're much more concerned with implementation issues rather than expressing high level ideas. In general, when I'm given a problem, I care about the organization of my data. I'm not concerned with memory management.
Note he said >can< severely damage your career and mental health, not >will< severely damage your career and mental health.

The former implies a possibility. That what he describes didn't happen in your case, while worth applauding, doesn't make the possibility any less true, especially for those that actually experience what the OP describes.
Not really. The app switcher is not the only way to switch apps. In fact, it is the more difficult of the two. It makes you click the home button twice, then tap the app you want once - versus click the home button once, and then the app you want once. Three clicks/taps versus two. As such, it is not a huge deal at all that it is not intuitive.

Same thing with double-tap to zoom. Not terribly intuitive, but that's not a big deal because there's a "hyper-intuitive" way to zoom. Double-tap becomes necessary only in very specific situations where only the hand holding the phone is free - which is not very common.
More efficient, though depending on what your plan is efficiency will be less important than power consumption. Battery power would be a good deal harder with those.

Like anything, you've got to pick the right tool for the job.

Very cool. I'm building a new HW project, based on the Raspberry Pi, and I'm always looking for options that are similarly sized, but pack a bit more power ;)

The thing I wonder for things like this, though, is at what quantity I can get them, and what the reliability looks like.
One of the things I like about the Pi is that it's well tested - Even if it's a bit slower, they're making 4K of them per day, and everyone's using one, helping map out the gotchas, etc.. If you go with a lesser known board, you're a lot more on your own..

Quick Overview of Instagram Lawsuit
The five programming books that meant most to me by DHH
Git (or any other modern VCS with near-instantaneous creation of private branches) is a great tool for turning the "quick fix" type of coder into the "solution" type of coder.

Here's my typical bugfix workflow with Git:

1. Observe the problem.

2. Add hacks to the code in a new private branch to print stuff out or other intrusive debugging stuff. Make commits every time you're ready to run the program, regardless of whether the code is in a state that will be usable. (It's a short-lived private branch, so things can be as messy as you want.)

3. Once you've found and fixed the bug, you can run the fix from the private branch to make sure all your debugging code is saying the right things.

4. Selectively apply commits or individual hunks from the private branch to the main branch.

The point is: You may have to make quick and "dirty" patches to the code just to understand what's going on, or to get your solution completely working. Git allows you to do easily do that, then time-machine back and turn the temporary "dirty" patches into "clean" patches for inclusion in mainline, after which you throw away the "dirty" patches. (If you discover you accidentally threw out something you wanted with the dirty patches, git's reflog will have your back as long as you remember before they become eligible for git's garbage collection in a week or so.)
Fine, let me change my response so it is less speculative.

what evidence do you have that the program ended in 2011?

Since most information about these classified programs comes from documents that are unclassified well after the program has ended, all that's available right now are piecemeal reports from hackings, like anonymous's attack on HB Gary, or whistleblowers, like William Binney.

While, it's possible that the reports we have outline the entire program, it's just as likely that they have only revealed part of a larger program.

The only thing that comes close is GNUStep:
http://www.gnustep.org/

It won't run native OS X code, but you can compile code with Objective-C or other languages to run on GNUStep between Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. It is based on NextStep, or OpenStep that Steve Jobs had at Next before Apple bought them out and turned it into Mac OS X.

That's 10% for someone who had access to advanced care within a few minutes.

If CPR goes on for more than 10 minutes or so in a non-hypothermic patient (with no other interventions), your chances of survival are basically nil. This is is especially true if you have a limited number of people doing compressions. Effective compressions are extremely hard work, and rescuer fatigue is a huge issue with CPR (we switch every two minutes no matter how 'fine' the person doing compressions claims to be). I doubt you could maintain effective CPR on an aircraft for 30 minutes (I suppose you could get a couple dozen people involved, but that seems unlikely).

If I'm not back in 15 minutes, please stop... At that point enough damage has been done to my brain that I don't want to come back...
Can you justify this position? I ask because it contradicts the article, which is stating that all subscription revenue, being buffeted by the web subscriptions that now make up 12% of this, are making up for falling advertising revenue.

Hence why I specifically asked:

"""Alternatively, are you saying their costs are going up dramatically to compensate for this increase in revenue, and that, in fact, they are now losing money and will soon die?"""

Is your claim that the costs this content digital (developers, designers, etc.) are drastically higher than making physical papers(which are sufficiently expensive that papers normally take a loss on sales)?

One other possible option (although from the same "alternatively"): are you saying that the digital content is much more expansive, not by a little (the online blogs and image rolls) than the paper content that their costs went up?

I specifically left the outs regarding the costs increasing, and no one is arguing that: I got back a fairly useless "what?" followed by your argument that doesn't seem to be informed by the scant numbers in the article. :(

(edit:)

Obviously, though, you aren't going to do that, because you didn't even use the numbers from this article, so I went and pulled New York Time Company's SEC filings and some historical expense reports.

It is clear from their filings that 1) advertising revenues are decreasing, but not by much, 2) as the article states, circulation revenues are increasing enough to compensate, and 3) their costs have not increased in the last 4 years.

Why, then, do you make this assertion that their product costs more to make than to sell? Again: either 1) that means their income is down (it isn't, per the article), 2) they were never profitable in the first place (not true, by common sense), or 3) their costs are up.

#3 is the only plausible option, and neither the person I responded to not the responses to me are justifying that position, and it really doesn't seem justifiable from the data they release on their financials.

I think the parent was completely ignoring your line of argument and making an orthogonal point, that the headline "$26,679 in 24 hours" upon which this article is sold is a lie insofar as it's useless to think of that as being a duplicable event: you couldn't write and publish a book every 24 hours, so the income should actually be amortized over the time it took the book to be produced. (Assuming six months, the ROI-so-far has been $4k/mo--not bad, but pretty equivalent to having worked as a programmer for that period.)

Interesting! I hadn't seen those before.

That strongly suggests that browsers ought to add some built-in extension types for arbitrary-precision arithmetic, using fast native libraries like GMP. That would then allow such JavaScript libraries to use the native types when available, and their existing pure-JavaScript support when not.

Most that I know of aren't emulators but virtual machines for the PowerMac/CHRP platform that happen to run the PowerPC Mac OS X on them.

There would be more I am sure, and for Intel Macs, but Apple can just threaten lawsuits to discourage more of it. If the ability to run Mac OS X apps on other platforms exists, Apple stands to lose a lot of money on hardware sales. The Hackintosh market, for example uses cheap PC hardware to run Mac OS X on a non-Apple branded computer.

Not only that. Imagine tying a ton of these together, with a hundred of them, say, you would spend as little as ~9k and have a supercomputer on your hands. Or, suppose you want to create some sort of small device that relies on existing software like an MP3 player or some sort of video player. This would allow you to build it, without a lot of trouble having to do things from scratch. Or this could power a laptop sans screen... it goes on and on.
