In that case his point is moot. Of course you don't need to be as bright as Carmack to achieve some definition of success. You can be a furniture salesman and achieve success that way. But it's like saying that water is wet.

His argument only makes sense if he implies that you don't need to be as smart to repeat id software's success these days, which I think is incorrect.

Noted. Though I have to say that while LA does have good food, they should get out more and compare. Not the people who make the food, they obviously get out. The people who eat the food. Well they get out, but not OUT. But all in all, good food. Well and a lot of shit overpriced food. But lots of great food in really shitting looking locations. And lots of really shitty food in really great looking locations.
I probably know at least 27 people earning that or more as contractors in the City.
I think once you're hitting the level of "one of the biggest cities in the world" there's almost guaranteed going to be really awesome cuisine. I thought Paris had really great food when I was there, I'm sure Tokyo's got delicious offerings as well (I love Japanese food, mmm).

I just moved to NYC, though, and the food options here are incomparable to anywhere else in the US I've been. (Note: I haven't been to San Francisco, and while I'm sure it has good food too, NYC's excellent transit system means I have wider access to places.)

I'm continuously surprised by how CHEAP things are, too! Yesterday I paid $1.50 for a box of strawberries, $0.75 for some cherry tomatoes, and $2 for a sizeable package of freshly chopped and peeled kiwis. (In the midwest, I'd pay almost that much just for the strawberries.) To top it off, I had the best lamb and rice meal I've ever had...for $5 from a halal food cart. (I actually spent an hour today looking for the cart again, I liked it THAT much, but it was nowhere to be found. I will look again tomorrow!!)

Of course, I still haven't found anywhere that sells a gallon of milk for less than $4, but I'm going to keep searching. I kind of enjoy exploring places and mentally marking down which place has the cheapest offering of a certain thing.

This a metric point that isn't talked about much. I would really like to see a metric for $/hr measured from the start of writing the book to book launch, or to when first sale occurred.

Like some of the other comments indicated, it will be quite low, but the payoff is in other areas such as recognition and profile elevation.
I'm not sure why people think Rust pointers are so confusing. Any C++ developer familiar with shared_ptr and unique_ptr should understood Rust pointers almost immediately.

The area of Rust that I find most confusing (and sends me back to the documentation and example code every time) is the module system and the relationship between library crates, modules, files, and identifier paths. :\

I'm not trying to be a jerk but and I know it feels bad to stay "Immigrant food" but that's what it is. New food new people. I love it.

Yhe simplest definition of "atheist" is one who lacks a belief in God. If you don't actively possess a belief that god exists, you're an atheist. Atheists confidently disbelieve in god in exactly the same way that they disbelieve in Santa Claus - the mere fact that humans tell stories about some mythical creature doesn't mean that creature exists.

But the bigger problem is the definition of God. Without defining it, the question "does it exist" is of course unanswerable. But if you mean "the Judeo-Christian God, the guy described in the bible" then one potentially can prove that it doesn't exist. Maybe you can't disprove the existence of ALL gods or rather all definitions of god, since the full set includes Spinoza's version. (If you choose to define god as being the same the universe and allow that the universe exists, then "god" exists.) But you CAN disprove the existence of THAT ONE particular god, because it is defined in self-contradictory ways. The "God" that religious people seem to be talking about most of the time is logically incoherent. So believing it doesn't exist is like believing something that's simultaneously green and invisible doesn't exist.

God is what you get when you start with Santa Claus and turn all the absurdity knobs up to 11. Omnipotent and omniscient, yet somehow allows us all free will even though he knows everything we'll ever do. "existed before the universe", even though the universe is defined as "everything that exists". And so on.

It's barely fair to even refer to Florida as a singular place, because South Florida and "The Rest of Florida" are two different cultures. South Florida is the nice beaches, upscale stuff, and the progressive, educated, imported population. The "Rest of Florida" has small slivers of tourist spots along the coast but for the most part resembles any other southern state, and tends to be quite red politically.
A better way to phrase that experimental result would have been "Cocaine And Heroin No More Addictive Than Oreos".
I've looked at the projections, and Manhattan's not nearly as screwed as Miami. Our foundation is mostly rock, I think, and a lot of this island has a relatively high elevation (as anyone who has walked up the giant hill to CCNY would happily tell you). Of course, the financial district will probably be toast, but things will just get pushed further into the bronx/inwood areas as is already happening now due to rent prices. I don't think anyone will care if we have to abandon Staten Island...

Miami, on the other hand, is mostly flat and is sitting on a porous foundation, in addition to being right next to the everglades. There was a really interesting article recently on it:

pretty sure that it's because you don't get the cold to make you feel less fat after big ass cuban sammiches. Sure you get the AC but then you walk out the door and sweat congeals all over your fat. I know. In the colder climates you just put a packers jersey over it and you sweat on the inside.

It's worth looking at things like hstore and json through the history of the project. The project has always been one which has focused on how to manage complex data in a relatively relational way, but has tended to go where no other database has gone before (table inheritance for example).

Now, it is true that when you get into the advanced capabilities of the database you run into hard edges that just don't make much sense at first, in part because they represent real disputes regarding how everything is supposed to work. Composite types in fields and table inheritance are well known for these sorts of problems but once you get used to the ideosyncracies they aren't bad.

This is true for JSON too, as there is no real way to map nested composite types to JSON constructs both ways (you can do tuple -> json, but not json -> tuple if the json object is nested). But a lot of these things just take time.
Wow, the code is written in CWEB, a literate programming system. You don't see that every day. The PDFs of the code are, from my brief scan over them, a really well-presented explanation of some seriously deep/mathematical code.

When I heard that the solution came from using 52 CPU-years of processing, I guessed that the code was a relatively boring brute-force search. But it appears I couldn't have been more wrong about that.

More specifically in the multistage work flow, you are only holding the lock while writing the changes to the system catalogs which is not a significant period of time.
An intuitive way of thinking about it is that if you have an arrangement with distance 20, any move you make is going to make it distance 19. Since there are 12 possible moves, every distance 20 arrangement has 12 distance 19 neighbors.

Both ADB mice were pretty pleasant to use, apart from the softness of the ADB II's mouse button.

Control-click has worked as a straightforward substitute for right-click on Macs for a long time now.

Interstingly it was Microsoft that really introduced "ergonomic" mouse shapes, with the "Dove bar" mouse http://www.ideo.com/work/mouse-for-microsoft/ and then the Microsoft Mouse 2.0.
You are right: in the fast case of "NULL" the amount of physical work amounts to diddling catalogs around rather than copying potentially gigabytes of data.

So in any case a lock is taken, but I've never seen anyone get too bent out of shape over that momentary mutual exclusion to deform the table's type (exception: in transactional DDL where cheap and expensive steps are inter-mingled).

All of my programming languages. I learned pretty much everything I know. I learned about memory management, processor architectures, all that fun stuff. Unfortunately I never got to that point where my languages were incredibly popular (or even usable for that matter...) and I could write a blank check for myself as the creator of a famous programming language ;)
So is there a particular difficulty in overcoming this noise, or is it more just unexplored territory?
Good on you. Getting experience is so important; I see too many compsci grads with little experience and little actual programming exposure on their degrees that they're almost unemployable.
Selecting rows like that is very similar to how DRAM works, just with the word size being the number of subpixels in a row, and with no read port. Bit-level random access is inefficient, but you don't have to write to the rows in sequential order, and you don't have to update all the other rows before issuing another update for the first row. That's purely a limitation of the current driving circuitry, but a replacement like G-SYNC doesn't have to be bound by sequential rasterization any more than it has to stick to a fixed refresh rate.
I use a 2008 iMac at work, and there is a lot to be said for ergonomics overall... Including placement of optical drive and SD card (they are located on the right side -- and since optical drive is a trayless type, I almost inserted SD card on the optical drive other day, which would have been catastrophic as I don't think it'd be easy to take it out...) and USB port placement (it's all on the back...)
The good news is that gives us about a century, and if we don't break the world economy today with our attempts at premature optimization, our technological capabilities then will be unimaginably greater than they are now.

Roughly one century ago - around the year 1900 - cities of the world had a huge problem - horses. The problem of hauling away the horse manure and dead horses was a bigger and bigger job and throwing more horses at the problem was not doing the trick. The cities smelled and bred disease and there was just nowhere to put the stuff. The situation was unsustainable. People drew line charts with hockey sticks. There were conferences where people gnashed their teeth and wrung their hands over how horrible it was - and getting worse - and how would we ever survive?

Then the problem went away. Not because the professional worriers came up with a solution, but because technology changed.

That will happen this time too. The one thing we can be ABSOLUTELY SURE of is that our biggest problem a century from now will be something ELSE, probably something we haven't even encountered as an issue yet. It is an amazing luxury that we can afford to worry about such trivial matters. I think there must be a "conservation of worry" law - as the world gets safer, as fewer people are starving or dying of dysentery or whatever, we still need to worry the same amount, so we find new things to worry about - no matter how arcane and obscure they have to be - and invest them with undue importance.

But it's most likely working that way because (analog) displays always worked like that and your display technology needed to be as compatible as possible for CRTs and TFTs.

From my point of view you have not explained why it's not technologically feasible. You're merely describing that the current display tech isn't working that way.. of course not..
I'm presently working on networking (OpenCores ethmac) support for the jor1k[1] OpenRisc emulator. The plan is to push ethernet frames out over a web socket, and pipe them into a tun interface on the server via a node/python/C/whatever backend. From there, do whatever you want using your OS' standard networking tools (if you have specific needs for the server-side of this which go beyond using your os' standard tools, please let me know).

If you're interested in this, please do make plenty of noise at me to finish. I've got a flight back to the East coast from Portland on Sunday, so I'm hoping I can get most of the browser code finished by then. After that I'm going to be somewhat distracted through the end of January, as I'm moving from Charleston, SC to Christchurch, New Zealand. I could use a bit of motivation to get this done.

I've found that the pattern that is functional for me is a cyclical manic-depression. I come up with new ideas, expend energy on them, spinning up projects and pouring out thoughts and insights, and then I collapse into an emotional death spiral and am forced to spend effort on self-improvement of various kinds before going into another burst of creative energy. The length of the cycles vary tremendously.

I think you have a misapprehension that rendering is or can be done via progressive enhancement and that's never really been a direction games have pushed into.

Rendering a scene is kind of like constructing a building. If you stop at an arbitrary point in the construction process, you don't get a pretty good building, you get a non functional structure.

The real reason is that there might possibly be some way of doing a progressively enhanced, rendered game but it's never been high enough priority for anyone to have done serious work in that area.
ActiveMerchant is good, yes, but I'd really like to avoid sending sensitive customer data through my servers, so server-side solutions aren't really feasible.
> In fact some verbosity is a design feature that actually helps programers maintaining large, long-living sytems.

I completely agree with that. For example, static typing adds verbosity, but it also documents the program and makes figuring out a large codebase a lot easier. The "noise" can even be reduced in languages with type inference like D, Haskell or C++11.

The thing is, unnecessary verbosity only crowds the code and doesn't add any value. Most of the keywords in "if ... then begin ... end else begin ... end" serve no real purpose and could be replaced with a symbol, like a curly brace.
