Sounds like everything Googles automatic cars are working on. I bet a lot of that technology can be used for a system like this.
Yep, I did read the discussion. I think wycats brings up a perfectly good concern, but the key point which he misses is that there is time, and CoffeeScript can change to fix what I think is a very solvable issue.

The current estimate for ES6 support in browsers is 2014. CoffeeScript only hit 1.0 about 2 years ago, and has had 3 minor point releases since then.

For me it's not hard to imagine a CoffeeScript 2.0 release at some point next year that targets ES6. It could make a few syntax changes, and ship with some helper tools (or a 3rd would create it) to detect possibilities in your previous code and tell you where you need to tweak to make it compatible.
" That might simply mean the stock market updated its predictions on how Apple is going to do in the future.."

Exactly my point, Apple (PE of 10) is not going to do that well in the future, unlike Google with a PE of 24. At least that's how the market sees it right now. When AAPL was heading to $700 and many analysts got in line to call AAPL $1000 /share the market thought differently.
A forward declaration is not really a compile time dependency.

If you are forward declaring a function, you are just promising that it is present during linking. So, during compilation it is not an edge in the graph.

If you are forward declaring a data type such as a class, a full definition needs to be visible at its first use or you are using the type as a pointer:

class A;

class B {
A *d_a;
[...]
};

In this case it is not really a dependency either, since the compiler does not need to know the size of A, since d_a is a pointer. When you start to dereference d_a, its definition needs to be fully visible, which is done via headers, which are a DAG through guards.

Could you give an example where C++ dependencies are not a DAG during compilation?
Ah, that brings back fond memories of tabehoudai (all-you-can-eat) at Shakey's Pizza back in my student days in Osaka. Always with the Tabasco, and eating all the pizza until there was nothing left but the weird corn-and-mayo one.
I'm pretty sure this is the kind of article that is doing a lot more harm than good to the female gender by shifting the focus from real issues (pay inequality, harassment and such) to trivial and harmless puns.

I sometime wonder if these people (like the author) are just trolls waiting for a good useless polemic to arise in order to shove down our throat how well behaved they are. Pathetic.

You're comparing a completely regulated system against a completely unregulated system, one which also happens to be brand spanking new.

You're also bringing lines of credit into this for some reason, if you think people are just going to hand you out free bitcoin for your to pay back at a later date without wanting to know your credit worthiness I'm not sure how to explain things to you in a way you'll understand.

OK guys, no more penis jokes. Will offend women.
It is not offensive at all (i agree it is bad taste, though i didn't understand the joke).

It is sexism if you understand sexism and genderism in its strictest sense: That there is no difference between man and woman - sex is a thing imposed by society - and mentioning things like the penis, the biological difference between man and woman, constructs that change, thus is sexism.

Yeah, as crazy as it sounds.

I'd been disappointed about the fact that habaneros are hard to find in London, whereas Scotch bonnets are everywhere. Perhaps I shouldn't be, then.

My local supermarket sometimes has Dorset naga peppers in stock. They're supposed to be a very hot cultivar of the jolokia, but none of the ones I've bought have actually been all that hot.

i dont know how come nintendo did not consider this, i guess they really believed that the wii u is as original as the wii when it came out

i dont think consoles are dead, by a long stretch ... sony and ms will continue to compete for years to come and hopefully nintendo if they recover from the wii u
Actually no, the only contact I've ever had with Visa was when I got mugged, and when they denied a 50c itunes purchase I made in my sleep [read some chech IP address and under a generic name], both times they were very helpful, cancelled my card and sent me a new one right away free of charge.

Regarding the apparent way I was acting I have no fucking clue what you're talking about. The bank sent it in the mail, how else would they get it to me. How is this complex or tedious, if I wanted it faster I could have gone down there and picked it up myself.
Thing is, on the internet, penis is kind of a different concept, and not limited to men.
Cappuccino - The Node.js Project
Actually contacting someone at Google is notoriously difficult, and
unfortunately, it's intentionally difficult. At their scale, there's no
way Google could provide support for all the countless billions of
people using their services.

In some ways, Google is fairly bad about following standards. On normal
mail servers, if you send to a non-existent address, the server will
reply to let you know about your mistake. Google doesn't do this. The
reason they don't has something to do with their spam handling, and the
costs of spam handling, but it's still against the conventions of email
to not let people know that the address they used doesn't exist.

If you are really lucky, the wrong address your Mom used does not
exist, and the message she sent was never saved or seen.

The only way you could test if the account exists is to try registering
the mistaken address.

Well, I've possibly lied a little bit; Google supposedly saves
everything, including spam, so even if the email could not be delivered
since the address doesn't exist, google may still have a copy of the
message sitting somewhere.

If the mistaken address is actually real, then attempting to track down
and contact its owner might be helpful. The odds of success are bad, but
it can sometimes work. Call me overly optimistic, but I like to believe
most people are good and would help you out.

Good Luck!
> People are just greedy bandwidth whores these days.

Not really. Having really fast broadband completely changes what is possible, and if we want to secure future economic growth for the internet, it's a great area to invest in. I have 120 megabits and easily saturate that on a regular basis. This in turn makes it possible to watch movies in the highest of defs on-demand, or purchase and download them to keep forever in less time than it takes to walk to the shops. We can download increasingly huge video games in less time than it would take to install from discs.

We have so many online businesses making huge amounts of money off entertainment while traditional platforms are dying, but if internet speed stagnates, or the fraction of the population that has very fast internet stops growing, that will limit the potential market for online media.

Another consideration is that 1mbit up. People are finding more and more awesome uses for larger upstreams. Yes, you wouldn't need a huge increase in your upstream to have great Skype video quality, but if you want to upload videos you make to YouTube in HD, or stream your gaming session in HD, you are going to feel the pain on the vast majority of broadband plans available today. We need to move away from the old online distribution model of "people consume, servers create".
Eeh, yes and no. I think their ( = Open Source Initiative) main reason for doing so is to give them the right to pursue sites/companies that would use their logo while not actually being open source in some sort of attempt to gain goodwill with the people that would care about it.

You are quite free (http://opensource.org/trademark-guidelines) to use their logo in a lot of cases without the need to contact them at all.

It is not like your average open source advocates are standing on fences wanting the right to put an "endorsed by apple/google/amazon/..." logo on their sites.
This is utterly ridiculous. In reality there is street harassment FGM, pay gap, domestic violence, rape, politicians attacking bodily autonomy...but god forbid someone makes a dick joke.

It's bullshit like this that means more and more people are a) not taking feminism seriously any more (women included), and b) leaving the damn movement (my girlfriend and I used to be fairly hardcore feminist activists, but we're so sick of all this shit that our interest is waning. Which is awful, as we genuinely care about equality and smashing the gender divide, but the movement is so plagued by pointless bickering and crap like this, it's an uphill battle).

from it sorted as spam), but it does seem possible.

Game Analytics Opens To The Game Developing Masses, Raises $2.5M..
In Adobe InDesign, one chooses to set type using the Single-line Composer or the Paragraph Composer. The latter analyzes the entire paragraph and tweaks spacing and hyphenation to minimize rivers, ragged lines, orphans and widows.

So nowadays, I don't manually check each page for rivers anymore. When designing the page layout, I decide on the 'color' (the density of the paragraph) that works best, so that rivers are avoided, but I leave it at that.

I understand how river detection can be a fun mathematical puzzle, but it's moot. Adobe built the Multi-line Composer into InDesign since version 1.0 (1999). And in my experience, with every version, it gets better.

From MacWorld's review of InDesign 1.0:

"InDesign's text features will appeal to designers and production people tired of the drudgery of manual copyfitting and kerning. The Multi-line Composer feature can calculate hyphenation and justification settings by examining an entire paragraph (or as many lines as you specify), instead of just a single line, to create better-looking text. In the process, it notably reduces the amount of manual tweaking necessary and will be especially helpful if you're trying to avoid multiple word breaks in a design with awkward text wraps. Similarly, the program's Optical Kerning feature does its best to find optimal character spacing, even if you've mixed different type sizes and faces. "

Here in NZ you cannot get away with not accepting eftpos (nobody carries cash really.) While in Australia I know you'll be hard pressed even finding a store that accepts it. Wondering if maybe the frustration displayed above was directed at the implementation/adoption you guys have.

Expanding the scope of discussion to all jobs is disingenuous. It's pretty clear this thread (not to mention this forum) is fairly software centric.

Regardless, companies across just about all industries that hire from remote talent pools will pay for travel (consulting, finance, government, NGOs, banking, accounting, manufacturing, insurance, you-name-it).

Whether or not a given company expands its talent search to include workers in distant locations is bound by several factors, none of which are unique to "SV and Microsoft".

I was in the US last summer for two weeks, and I saw several. Perhaps because I'm used to chip and pin?

> in the EU Square Up is distributing free chip readers for android or iphone

No they aren't, I think they said they were going to but there's no way to get one from them right now.

On the small business angle, chip and pin in the UK has been a nightmare for small retailers. It's been in for several years now and things like Square are much more recent. A chip and pin device is not cheap - far more than many small businesses can afford.

By 2015 (which is the liability date for point of sale terminals and you bet your boots they will change those machines quickly once it's costing them money) Square and things like it will be mature and ready, so hopefully you guys will make the transition much more easily than we are!

Batteries May Become Obsolete (Graphene Supercapacitor)
I don't actually have any argument against what you said, in fact I agree wholeheartedly that the answer is the OP should empirically prove what they claim. Nevertheless, I hope you won't take offense if I use that as the starting pistol of a short rant.

I find that kind of commentary irritating because I have a co-worker that thinks he is the more talented programmer. What's worse is that he is rude about it.

I think I am objectively better for the following reasons; my work has shorter functions, less inter-dependency between classes, is simpler to reuse, and most importantly it crashes less. If I asked a question like, "how can I get this guy to stop being a douchebag and listen to my suggestions (which I swear would improve the company's codebase)?", I'd be irked by the commentary.

Anyway, I'm sure you all think this is a bunch of sound and fury, signifying nothing, but it felt good to type it out. Cheers and good wishes to all.

That's exactly the wrong way round. You can acquire domain knowledge, you can have a domain expert assigned to you to work with you. What you can't acquire, on demand, is the ability to think in the ways that mathematics gives you. That requires extensive training and practice, and recognizing when obscure bits of theory are applied is something that doesn't come overnight.

Are you speaking from personal experience? Or do you know of any examples of consumer apps with 1 million monthly uniques clearing $100,000 a month with a freemium model of $10/month? Did they get to that size and then just sailed along without going up or down?

Dropbox is a particularly bad example to use. Even with an amazing product it took them a while to figure out their growth. They did burn some money in that process. And eventually found that organic user-driven growth was the fastest and most sustainable way - which is exactly what Gabriel is saying in his post.

If Dropbox did not have the cash in the bank to test out various marketing strategies, they would have probably died.

I think the thing you're missing is that there is a growth curve. You don't get to just choose a point on the curve and stay there.

Don't dismiss the premise of Gabriel's post because you're talking about a different growth curve than him.
