Look, I don't care that you can assert that we're hypocritical. My honest response is "Duh."

I care that when the lens is focused on you, the only defense you have is that you're just as bad as the rest of us.

It's completely non-inspirational and devoid of the idea that we should try to be better.

It's as empty as the diamonds you're defending.
> I doubt the point is to demonstrate financial security: Spending three months' salary on a single ring would seem to indicate financial irresponsibility more than financial security

"Wasting" resources is one of the ways to make sure that the signal (of fitness -- financial security for example) is honest.

I hate to break it to you but "n" is not final. Hence, you can reassign any BigInteger to it. Why not just set n = 9 and the root = 3...

Immutability is your friend. Use it or lose it.
I thought the point of language like that was tasking on the part of the non-developer, as in inflating someone's ego enough to get them to work for you. Or to use a more salacious comparison, pimping.

In my youth it wasn't "rock star", though, it was "guru". As in "Joe, I heard you're the data comm guru... do all this stuff for me for free and without complaint. Because you're the guru. And you wouldn't want to lose that reputation, now would you?"
The social status is changing I think. I commented on this in some other Diamond discussion thread but I have noticed an increase in people my age group (Gen Y) having engagement/wedding rings with other stones. Purely anecdotal but it seems to be a trend in my group of friends at least.

For example my wife has a Sapphire ring (yes I know Sapphires can be made at any size artificially) and so does my brothers. A close friends wife has a Ruby and I have seen Emerald ones.
I agree.

One thing: How does acing real analysis help with number theory?
Using the word "infeasible" like this is probably a bad idea, since in the crypto world it refers to problems that cannot be solved in polynomial time. Also, do not assume that controlling the transaction chain is "everything;" there may be some other part of the protocol that can be attacked, even if it is non-obvious.
No. It is unprofessional and unbecoming at an outside of work event.

But n is also private, so you can't reassign it without using setAccessible or changing the security manager, both forbidden by the rules.
You can't assign anything to a private variable.
FYI: The NSFW content is a handful of tiny pornographic images.
But "n" is private and the rules state the solution must be in a different class. Thus you can't simply reassign it.
It's become fashionable to hate on rails, and honestly I understand the motivation--it isn't cool and cutting edge anymore. It's slow. It doesn't do concurrency well. Ruby is nice for what it is, but it lacks the power and stability of functional languages, and lacks the performance of go or javascript on v8.

But rails is just doing what it's always done: trying to optimize developer productivity for front end web dev and routine web tasks. In this it's far ahead of the pack, and for many businesses, both small and large, this is exactly the right thing to optimize. Say what you want about github, but they push a lot of features and push them fast.

Rails is not for crafting algorithms, but when you need to crank out 6 new pages with various complex crud views and forms by Friday, and by the way can it be exportable to cvs and oh can you also do paypal and oauth integration and user avatars with thumbnails, and keep it all reasonably readable and organized... the sad fact is that for all of rails' heft and lack of cs cred, trying the above with any other framework after you know rails will drive you insane, because despite how great the language is or how many connections your server can handle, you are again and again spending days on things that take an hour in rails.

Ultimately, I don't think the way forward from rails is to search for a partial reimplementation of rails in some other language. Rails is the best we've got for rapid front end and shallow back end work. So use it for what it does well. For what it doesn't do well, use something else. Personally, I think it's silly to have an ORM written in ruby. ActiveRecord is for the most part a lovely api, but its guts should be a separate service written in go or something. Building a complex recommendation engine or game AI? Write clojure or haskell services. But when the data comes back and you need to dice it up and lay it out as html, with a hundred little ohs and ifs and buts, it's not a fun time without rails.
Couldn't you just fast those days? (And I mean you as in you, not those other Americans.)
No, but 10 of 16 numbers that must conform to a checksum algorithm significantly reduces the search space to a point that a brute force seems trivial if other information is already possessed (e.g., zip code, or especially, cvv).
It's a very common human vice, to want to feel competitively superior to one's peers. Fancy cars, jewelry, designer clothes, you name it--these industries depend on the urge to make others jealous.

Cubic zirconia or other gems might be cosmetically identical to a diamond. Wanting a $30K ring for its "color neutral" characteristics smacks of astroturfing.

Gilette. During WW2, they didn't have anyone to sell their products to, so they started marketing shaving to women. Before this, a woman shaving was akin to claiming yourself to be a prostitute. Now, it's a cultural norm for women to shave...all because of manufactured desire.
That absolutely cuts both ways.

Bootstrapping with day job. Will clear six months of runway by June, maybe sooner but would like to be throwing off at least enough cash to pay all of my non-rent expenses (which total less than my rent).

Once I get to six months and leave the day job, I'm contemplating taking on at least part-time client work to extend the runway a bit but I'm concerned about distractibility from the business. Really would like to go full bore on what I'm working on for six months. Plus I wouldn't know where to start with the client work, as I don't have any existing search marketing clients and I don't know how long it would take me to build up enough cache to bring in semi-regular consulting work. Ugh.
I don't think that is fair; I did say "so much depends on what exactly you need."

Maybe you don't need to whole kitchen sink. Also its not as though there are not other Go libraries to get other functionality from such as DB/ORM functionality.

Why be so harsh with him?

A lot of sales people are utter jerks praying on stupid person: my mom is getting old and a bit losing it and recently she bought some totally unnecessary and shitty tool after seeing an "infomercial" on TV.

Do I need to love these sales people in that infomercial?

Certainly not. There are great products out there aimed at smart people which you can sale too by taking care of them and their needs and without trying to mindtrick them.

For example JetBrains managed to sell me a license of IntelliJ 12 at 75% off on Doomsday back in december.

Did they need to have a cold skin after many people insulted them for shoddy sale practices? Did they need to spam my email?

I don't think so. So your overgeneralization as if there was one type of sales person is wrong.

There's not just one way of selling things and salesperson are certainly not part of every succesful online business. There are many microISVs who have a perfectly nicely running business who don't have the singlest skill needed to be an used car salesman...

The Meaning of ‘Hack’
You missed one, which I know a few people that have used: Live on social security for a year until you get your startup off the ground. If you don't you go get a normal job.

This, of course, requires that you live in one of the Nordic countries, or another welfare state. We don't have many advantages in the Nordic startup circles, but at least there's this :-)

It's a peacock's tail. In any environment where resources are abundant and there's no natural predators, species evolve to create lavish displays for sexual selection.

Buying a ring, having a fancy sports car, owning a nice house, coming from a prestigious university... these are signals for sexual reproduction. "Look at me, look at what I can afford to do!"

It does signal financial irresponsibility. Who can demonstrate such a thing? Those who are actually financially secure. But then it gets to be backwards, as those who can barely afford to live paycheck to paycheck seek out these red herrings, these peacock's tails, before actual wealth and stability.

Same thing with ties. Those used to be signals of wealth. They evolved from the cravate, used by nobility to protect their shirts whilst eating. Being wealthy, these embryonic ties, the cravates, would be made of expensive materials. When those who weren't so wealthy got ahold of them and started using them as a display, it became backwards.

We now take off our ties, or toss them over our shirts to protect from getting dirty when we eat, because they're often quite expensive!

So, yeah. Diamonds signal financial security by being financially irresponsible. We're a species evolved to pay attention to status, to these symbols more so than the real value behind such things.
Added "social welfare programs" which encompasses stuff like social security and unemployment benefits.
The module system is actually what I was talking about. You don't need to understand every single contributed module to understand how the whole system works. I'd like to see your example of how/where Drupal "falls apart" when adding contributed modules.

If you're writing a module when you don't understand how modules work, you're gonna have a bad time. The Examples for Developers[1] module probably would have helped out. The Field example creates a custom field. The Node example create a custom node type. Or you could have just created the node type using the Field UI (and if you need it in code, export the configuration using Features[2]).

Amazon Launches ‘Send to Kindle’ Button For Web Developers & WordPress Blogs
My startup journey consisted of incremental stages in terms of my financial growth. I started with some student loan money designated for books and learned some affiliate marketing arbitrage. The first day I spent $50 and made about $50 profit. I consistently doubled down my earnings for a few months until I had a pretty solid reserve. After about 2 years, I had decent amount of savings (in the low to mid six figures) and hadn't changed my lifestyle much at all. At this point I met my cofounders, who were in similar situations as myself, and we pooled most of our savings together to start our company.

Along the way I made several risky bets -- doubling down my money on more than one occasion -- but I was never really in that risky of a situation because I had so little to start with. I was just a relatively broke student with some student loan money.

In many jurisdictions an engagement ring is considered a conditional gift (conditional upon her agreement to marry you).

This is logical. Otherwise why not string along as many man as possible to the point of proposal, then thank them for the shiny ring and wish them farewell? Take the strategy to its inevitable conclusion, and if the woman in question calls off the engagement at any point, she should return the ring.

Good diamonds depreciate less than say cars or stereo equipment or computers. A Tiffany's ring with GIA certs can resell for half its original purchase price. There is an active secondary market in diamonds, so if you buy a high-quality GIA certified stone used, you should be able to sell it for a similar price to what you bought it for. Most of the depreciation on a diamond happens the moment you "drive it off the lot" so a used diamond is going to retain its value much better than a used car.

The key though is having a good quality stone from a reputable cutter with full certification. Diamonds are not fungible like say gold. A low-quality diamond purchased in an expensive mass-market ring isn't going to be worth anything on resale.

Her answer:

For an actual rock (which are classified differently than gemstones) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourmaline

and her reasoning, "Actually gains value, good ones are not common (like diamonds are), awesome variety of colors"

Also said she likes aquamarine for actual gemstones (it's beryl, same thing as emeralds), but it's not as hard as diamond and wouldn't stand up to the daily abuse as well.

She also said she'd enjoy an uncut diamond mounted in a ring, but that's probably purely the geologist in her speaking.

Javascript: The world's most misunderstood programming language (2001)
I voted “Side project+”, but in reality I do freelance contract work on one hand and have my start-up on the other, spending time on the latter as my varying contract workload allows. The same is true of the other person most involved with the start-up.

The downside to this is that it’s taken significantly longer to get near launching than it would have done if we had been working full-time, multiple years in our case where perhaps we could have done the main development work inside a year. Naturally that can be frustrating.

The upside is that we’ve been able to manage our finances sustainably until we are nearly ready. The nature of what we’re doing means some aspects of our timetable are always going to be partly outside of our control, depending on for example how quickly we can co-ordinate other parties who are contributing or how fast various new technologies evolve and reach a useful level of adoption. Sometimes we just have to wait for things on the critical path, so I doubt we would ever have made it this far if we’d dumped the paying work and relied on some form of limited runway to switch completely.

You seem to be making some assumptions based solely on the fact that the author didn't like the sales people he was working with. He never elaborated on the reasons. But I can foresee many. For instance, it is possible that the culture in the company encourages certain types of sales people, while it turns off others.

Take the previous paragraph and replace "sales people" with "programmers". You can see that the same applies. It has nothing to do with introversion/extroversion.

On that matter, the usual stereotype of the ultra extroverted salesman that is incredibly successful is pure bollocks. Being extroverted doesn't build you a thick skin to be manhandled over the phone, experience and repetition does. As well, being introverted doesn't mean that if you have a bad conversation, you'll crawl back under the sheets for the rest of the day. You're either misunderstanding extroversion/introversion or you're misunderstanding sales, or maybe both.

I'm currently a programmer and entrepreneur and in the past I've worked as a salesman without formal training. I've had phone sales jobs (phone plans), street sales jobs (random knick-knacks) and store sales jobs (men clothes). Only recently, after coming to the same realizations than OP, I've decided to formally understand Sales as a profession, to help me promote my services and software.

I've been studying it for a few months and am convinced that most people misunderstand what selling is. We often like to imagine slick, silver-tongued, extroverted people, with poor ethics. This is only a partial truth. After all, sales is one of the few professions where money is directly tied to performance. It shouldn't come as a surprise that poor ethics be prevalent, it's the easy way out. But it does in no way constitute a requirement to be a good salesman. Most successful salesmen I've observed are unequivocal about ethics, they discourage dabbling in shady practices.

I've also noted that a good number could in fact pass for introverts. My understanding so far is that even extroverts need to tap into their inner introvert at some point, if they ever want to become good sales people. Being extroverted might help in approaching people in random social contexts, but introversion helps to align oneself with the needs of potential clients, because it helps in observing and listening to what your prospect is trying to tell you. Whether introvert or extrovert, anyone can learn to act accordingly when the situation demands it.

All this to say that selling is a skill and can get very methodical and technical. Like any skill, anyone can learn it.
> There's nothing wrong with thinking women and men are wired differently.

And nobody is disagreeing with you. It is sexist to say "women are more influenced by marketing" when they are not. If men and women are influenced the same, then making a statement about the difference between them is being sexist.

So, if someone can actually provide some data that shows whether or not women are more influenced than men, instead of everyone continuing to provide anecdotes (as you have), then we can either stop saying false things, or we can accept that different genders work differently.
