I'm currently traveling around SE Asia working on stuff. Just had a very productive week on Don Det, one of the "4000 islands" in Laos. Quiet, beautiful, not much else to do there. Not stressed about money as perfectly acceptable bungalow on the river was less than $5 a day. Annoying place to get to however. General comments on doing this: I like to stay in the one spot for a while as travelling is tiring and distracting, and when you are somewhere new it takes a day or so to suss it out to get into a routine.

According to an English dictionary, Scandinavia may also refer to Finland.

From Merriam-Webster, Scandinavia:
1) peninsula N Europe occupied by Norway & Sweden
2) Denmark, Norway, Sweden --sometimes also considered to include Iceland, the Faeroe Islands, & Finland

The scientific features are only of interest to the (drum roll) scientific community.

Async interests potentially everybody, including the server guys, the backend guys AND the scientific community.

Not to mention that this is a few contained classes, whereas the scientific stuff is tons and tons of code to be included into Python, including lots of Fortran and C, that would more than triple the size of the standard library.

Lastly, node.js? Lots of languages have a good story for async, from C# and Scala, to Go and Rust...

If you're going to indulge in flights of imagination, maybe try to imagine why what this guy, who seems to have every attribute of an expert in the field, says, might be true.

Yet my 90 year old grandma manages with FireFox. How does she do it? I worked helpdesk for many years and never saw people screwing up their browsers with any of these options.

It comes down to this. Most users DON'T want to mess anything up so they don't go clicking a bunch of buttons. Others are tinkerers and experiment, but they keep track of what they did so they can undo it. Still others can read plain english and know what "Download Images Automatically" must mean.

Even the Safari in the iDiot proof Mac OS X has many of these options. All major browsers have them. Don't you think that if this were really a problem that at least somebody would have re/designed their browser without them? or at least put them further out of reach.
This comparison is way too vague to have any significant meaning. So what if Finland is different from Denmark/US? You're different than me (I'm not US), but we both need to eat to survive, exercise to stay fit and read to learn. We probably share similar ambitions (health, family, financial stability) and have similar fears (health, family, financial stability), so why not education?

One "owns" (free and clear) very little in real life. Most people -- house, car, etc -- are financing their lives with debt. In these cases, ownership is a bit of a myth -- your legal rights are only contingent on your credit. With your data and your free speech-- also, this is very circumscribed in reality. Soon, the idea of "ownership" will just be made fully synthetic. We will rent the assets of our lives...just like our homes...wether this is good or bad...or just another level of clarity...is in the eye of the beholder. This will solve any debate on who "owns" a phone, or a piece of software...there will just be no more "sales"...just "leases" of the same...without the residual legal rights of true ownerhsip...nor the notion that denying such rights will be anything less than what is otherwise suspected...
I doubt it. No one will use bitcoins anymore because they won't have the network effect required to extract value from currency. You can say you have Six Bajillion Bonkers Bucks, but unless a critical mass of others accept Bonkers Bucks as a valuable currency, it's worthless.

People want money because it's a token by which they can gain control and power over things. If bitcoin stops becoming this, no one will want it anymore. Bitcoin is nothing by itself, and if you can't get it into dollars, no one will want it anymore because there won't be enough people with enough respect for an independent bitcoin to yield up the control or power currency holders are trying to acquire.

Drug dealers use bitcoin because it facilitates online transactions without requiring the endorsement of a credit card company, payment processor, merchant bank, and so forth, and because they can cash that currency out for U.S. dollars, which they use to give themselves control and power.

No one wants bitcoins of themselves. I run a software firm and have tried to offer my employees partial payment in bitcoins, and none of them wanted it. If these guys don't even want to get into that game, what do you think the normal person will say?

> What pain-points of Leiningen and Compojure does this framework aim to solve?

There are no problems with Leiningen solved. It's based on it like other Clojure libs with project templates etc.

With Compojure it's another story, it only gives you a handler function. Pedestal makes a routing table available, enabling reverse routing. The route definition is data based. It's less repetitive to define routes.

> I'm sure its an excellent framework, but there way too much for me to consider using it right now. My concerns:
How difficult would it be to switch out Datomic for PostgreSQL?

Not difficult at all? Have you looked at the datomic tutorial? It does nothing besides setting up a connection and querying the database. What dbs do not support that?

>What if I don't want ClojureScript at this moment?
What happens if I want to switch X with Z or drop ABC?
How hard will it be to minimize and erase all the things I don't want?

Well, you go through and pick the libraries you want to use?

> Why are there so many extra words needed for the routing templates?

It's a comprehensive description of all aspects of the flexible routing dsv, including the programatic inteface to define routes at runtime.

> I've always felt Clojure would get a boost from a Rails-like framework, but I'm concerned that a large, opinionated framework will break the very promise of Clojure: flexibility and easy DSL creation. Once we are faced with something that needs to be reverse-engineered or broken, then this promise is ruined.

It's not rails. We've all seen where that got.

> I'm all for new frameworks and ideas, but its a little funny to think that Noir was dropped, in part, for being too large and complicated.

It's a set of libraries, not a framework.

Also, it doesn't add state for everything everywhere. Instead it takes the current concept of Clojure web apps and takes it to the next level.

In Compojure you define lots of routes, mostly calling separate handling functions, only passing out the routes parameters. That what pedestals routing does by default. That's just one example of many.

The problem I see here is that you snapped a picture and posted it in public - being prosecutor, judge, jury and executor in one person. That's not how things should work out. There's two sides of the story and I think it would have been better if a neutral party heard both sides instead of public summary execution. The guys conduct may not have been appropriate, but IMHO yours was not as well. Had you done all of this without posting the picture and let the organizers resolve this in a professional manner I'd be totally on your side, but the way things played out I'm not.
You can speculate in real currencies without adhering to any special regulations, so there is no reason to think they would try to twist the word 'exchange' here to mean that.

Someone always feels the need to say something like this these days, when McD's is being discussed. If we call ourselves hackers we should question everything and notices the meaning behind these weird social rituals.

Please don't be offended, I do it too and am not claiming to be above you.

My take is that McD's is currently the symbol for poor people food. Poor people are both money-poor and time-poor, so fast food is one of the few options they have.

When people criticise MCD's, they are usually just signalling that they are not poor.

I really enjoyed Swype early on, but I never figured out what their plan for it was - it seemed to be in perpetual beta, when I'd have happily been paying for it as an app. The weird installer shenanigans and insistence on internet access finally killed it for me, well before them getting acquired.

It's sad in a way - I also thought it'd be on every phone, but it looks now like that's more likely to happen via the same functionality being built into other keyboards rather than Swype doing it themselves.

I'd say so - but that doesn't answer the harder question: What is a sexual joke? That matter is open to interpretation and that's where public shaming becomes a problem: The individual that's the most easily offended gets to lay the blame.

The finnish model sounds very much like the swedish model, and Sweden is constantly slipping in the PISA studies. 2009 we were below Norway, and even behind United States in reading and mathematics.
I don't know, it might be an American cultural convention though. Where I work I have a lot of Northern European and Asian colleages and the women here are by far worse than the men with forwarding explicit chain emails and questionable double entendres. Totally anecdotal, but it seems to me that soccer-mom characters are especially active in this area.

Never mind who is doing it, I find it increddibly annoying, but it's not harassment by any meaningful definition of the word.

My theory as to why it transcends annoyance and actually becomes a women's issue in America is probably because women there are expected to be asexual. So in that case it's only the men amongst themselves making these adolescent-type comments, and that in turn would make women uncomfortable because all of a sudden they have to deal with nasty group dynamics.
It doesn't work that way. Students in South Los Angeles, for instance, need a different curriculum than students in wealthy Cambridge. Students at the former still struggle with English, while the latter are scions of Harvard and MIT.

Application Architecture Pros And Cons
I have never understood this argument very well. It's not like there's some sort of centralized bottleneck, schools can scale pretty well.

I would argue (this is completely speculative), however, that cities in the US are (maybe?) denser than those in Finland, and that urban planning has a tendency to lay out infrastructure in terms of area more than in terms of population in itself. Hence big cities having stuffed classes. The same effect can be seen in DMVs or polling centers.

The article makes it sound as if public vs private is the only way in which schools differ. Even if all schools are public, some of them are good while others are bad, and you still have to somehow select students who get to attend good ones.

Soviet Union had a similar system, and selection was driven by a combination of merit exams, social status/personal connections, and corruption. This actually worked reasonably well. But "equal access for everyone" was more of a propaganda bs then reality, and I doubt it is much different in Finland.
I'm pretty indifferent towards him, he does seem like a moron and an asshole, but this is pretty much the first time I'm hearing anything about him (before I recall hearing "weev" and a few details about the AT&T stuff, nothing about who he is).

Him being an asshole doesn't mean he deserves jail time for what he did.

How about rather than deciding he deserves punishment because you don't like him, and then getting upset when anyone disagrees with you, judge his "crime" and decide whether it deserves jailtime. After that, feel free to separately to judge him as a person and decide you won't lose any sleep over his punishment.

The author of this article would have his readers believe that out of all the things about Finland which make sense regarding their better achievement, the only element that really matters is that Finland doesn't have private schools.

Stated another way, the only thing that is causing public schools to fail in the US is the existence of private schools.

Eliminate private schools and suddenly the US will have achievement on par with Finland, if we are to believe this analysis.

Is it really that simple?
It's interesting that the PISA scores are always used to declare that the school system of X is vastly superior to Y, (usually some other country in comparison to America), a conclusion that ignores the fact that test scores are affected by variables other than the educational system of a country.

If you correct for ethnic background, America holds up very well. Asian-Americans (including Asian-Americans from developing nations like Vietnam and Cambodia) score as high as Asians in the wealthy countries of Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong. European-descended Americans score in the upper third of the pack when compared to other White Europeans (ahead of Australia, Denmark, France, and the EU average, below Finland, Switzerland, Canada, Germany) [1]. In this comparison, Finland does stand above the rest, admittedly. But what drags down our scores? Disadvantaged ethnic minorities. The same applies to European countries: "In almost all European countries, immigrants from third world countries score lower than native born kids."

Even immigrants to Finland score poorly compared to native Finns; it's just that only 4% of Finns are immigrants. In fact, the gap between immigrant and native PISA scores is greater in Finland than the USA.

With all the institutional and socioeconomic baggage that comes with being Hispanic or black in America, you cannot seriously compare the raw PISA scores of a nation of immigrants that is 13% black and 16% Hispanic (America) with a nation that is by and large culturally and ethnically homogenous (Finland), and use that to draw meaningful conclusions about the educational system.

[1] http://super-economy.blogspot.com/2010/12/amazing-truth-abou...

EDIT (reply to below): No, because even immigrants/minorities in Finland score lower than average; the gap between immigrants to Finland and native Finns is even greater than the gap between immigrants to America and native Finns. Furthermore it is very hard to make a comparison because it's pretty easy to have "equity" when your entire society is largely ethnically/culturally homogenous, and when you only have to scale that equity across a very small population.
A point that seems to come out of this:

> Finland offers all pupils free school meals, easy access to health care, psychological counseling, and individualized student guidance.

Schools should be more about this. Creating a good environment for kids, especially those from poorer backgrounds. We somehow delude ourselves into thinking that schools are about test scores, but it's about forming children into decent human beings.
