It is a mistake of reasoning to take a meta-analysis of medical research and expand its conclusions to the rest of science.

Medical research has a number of peculiarities among the sciences, including the complexity of its subject (perhaps the highest of any discipline), the emotional reaction to the subject, the speed at which people try to turn scientific findings into products or advice, and the concommittal eagerness to trust epidemiological results without a known physical mechanism.

It's also a huge mistake to get your science news and opinion from The Economist--a magazine with a great reputation that has nothing to do with its coverage of science

CSP gives you everything async/await gives you, plus more. Channels can act as throw away promises, or as continual streams of events. Add to that the power of alt! (http://clojure.github.io/core.async/#clojure.core.async/alt!) and you got some very powerful primitives. There's nothing about async/await that's really new. You can implement these on top of yield (C#/Python), or with any language that supports the pausing and resuming of execution.

In Clojure CSP is implemented as a library (core.async), no changes to the compiler needed. Now that's power.

(disclosure, I helped write core.async)

Very actively. We just released core.async, and Clojure 1.6 should be out by the end of the year (1.5 was released at the start of the year).

You would be hard pressed to say that the prosperity is the result of government. We were also aided by a war that killed 80M people left most of the industrialized world in ruins. And civil right, seriously? The government was the greatest force operating against civil rights last century.

The notion that everything was civil in the past is also a fanciful notion. The country has often been deeply divided and I don't see any reason why it should remain so.

Also the concentration of wealth this time around unlike a century ago has been caused by two things, technology and improvements to productivity and periods of artificially low interest rates. I don't see what we can do about the former and with the nomination of Yellen I don't think there will be significant changes to monetary policy.

Neither of these are actually problems.

If (1), your results are obscure or lack applicability, then they are not useful anyway and so it doesn't matter if they are ever confirmed. A surprisingly large amount of scientific research fits into this category.

While (2) few researchers set out solely to verify another's result, if the result is noteworthy, it will be incorporated as a component of future research and therefore tested indirectly. This other comment (not mine) explains how:

The first time I used Mono in a production environment (part of a payment connector running on a Linux system) was around a decade ago.

Since then I've had daemons running 24/7 doing telecom processing (either routing decisions or call record management), written in F#, running on Mono. We build, debug, etc. on Windows, then deploy the binaries to Linux. It works surprisingly well. These aren't massive systems, and I tend to deplore the handful of core systems (i.e. website) on Windows but all the actual call handling goes on Windows.

The real problem with Mono was the naive GC which for some applications had very degenerate and broken behaviour. AFAIK, the sgen GC has cleared that all up.

Your characterization of the comments are very misleading.
Hey Avi,

I noticed that your a teen who develops a lot, so I thought maybe it would be cool if you were a part of an upcoming teen developer community similar to HN that I'm working on right now at http://teen2geek.com. Also, if you don't mind my asking, how did you become so experienced in computer science so early in high school? I noticed that some of your software is now shipped default in some Linux distros, and that is really impressive, so I would love some tips from you :)
> The second amendment has been as flagrantly violated for years as the fourth is now. "Congress shall make no law" is obscured by endless debate over whether the right belongs to a militia, or whether it is an individual right.

The text of the Second Amendment isn't "Congress shall make no law". It's that "the right ... shall not be infringed." The "shall make no law" bit refers to the First Amendment.

This seems to be relevant for the rest of your thing about how bad laws were made...

> It's hard to imagine that any originalist text or intent would condone

You seem to be saying this as if originalism is the absolute correct jurisprudential theory with which to interpret the Constitution, but to put it mildly, that's debatable.

> The problem is that the Constitution, for as much as we might all love it in theory, is written in plain English, and is subject to interpretation by lawyers.

It's subject to interpretation by the rest of us, too. Which is why it annoys the hell out of me every time someone talks about how they wish people would just use plain English instead.

> There's a reason lawyerese is used, and it's to prevent plain English readings from being interpretable.

This isn't correct. Lawyerese is used because the phrases have established precedent. It's not un-interpretable; it's already-was-interpreted and you're going to have to overturn precedent in order to get it interpreted differently.

The next Constitution should be a set of mathematical proofs or computer program. At the very least, it will make sure law makers and enforcers are capable of higher order thinking.

I wonder how to properly frame the problem from that approach.
Become qualified. In order to criticize policy, you really only need two things: (1) a reasonably complete understanding of the situation the policy is addressing, and (2) a reasonably complete understanding of the policy proposed.

Both of these will always be imperfect, but one of the essential and too infrequently stated principles of democracy is that it is built to account for imperfection. It's built to assume every single decision and every single policy is wrong and will need correction.

...which, in the end, is what the article is about.

If we decided to move to a parliamentary system, that would require rewriting two out of six articles in the Constitution. As it so happens, those 2 articles dominate the Constitution.

You would literally be tossing out 60% of it.

Does this mean the question of a parliamentary system is off the table for the United States? What would we look like as a parliamentary system. Or a hybrid presidential-parliamentarian.
> avoided introducing an elected President as it was seen as introducing a new and destabilising power base that would eventually lead to a constitutional crisis.

Sure you just have a representative of the Monarch who boots elected prime ministers when she becomes displeased with them, like axing the, of course, Labor PM in 1975.

When Charles I disbanded parliament, ultimately he found his own head chopped off. Australia's Liberals are lucky the modern Labor party is so milquetoast.

django core here, some feedback on -annoying:

It'd be nice if you were clear about what versions of django and python are supported.

From django-annoying's feature list:

* render_to - seems to be roughly equivalent to django.shortcuts.render
* signals decorator - now in core[1] (since 1.3)
* ajax_response - seems useful, though might make sense to check request.is_ajax[2]
* autostrip - hmm, seems oddly edge case-y, I definitely wouldn't apply it to all my forms
* get_object_or_None - nifty
* AutoOneToOneField - assumes the related model is valid with only the FK filled in, which seems fairly unlikely in many OneToOne cases. I'm not sure if this was proposed to core, but I'd think it would need some sort of default= fillin feature to be more generally useful.
* JSONField - soo many competing and variously featureful implementations. This has been discussed a few times; it seems fairly easy to implement and hard to gain consensus. I wish we could get it in core, but the juice doesn't seem worth the squeeze.
* get_config - I don't think I understand the purpose of this, unless you're just trying to be more intention-revealing than getattr(settings, ...)
* HttpResponseReload - nifty
* StaticServer - I don't think I understand why you wouldn't want to config urls.py instead.

I'm not sure if you can call the fractions of semi-tones of the equal tempered scale (used in most modern Western music) as neat. Indeed, its widespread introduction was very controversial because it was always considered a compromise on the purity of the sound. Never the less, its incredible convenience prevailed.

When we talk about "pure" sounds. The sound intervals that sound best to the human ear form simple numeric frequency ratios. However, if you tune a scale in a way that is closer to this ideal, not every semi-tone is interchangeable and playing pieces in certain keys sounds down right horrible.

That's why, choosing the key of a piece, once actually had a relatively larger impact on how it would sound, depending on how the instrument was tuned. Dissonance in some keys was even sometimes exploited by certain composers. Unfortunately we lose the impact of how these pieces would have sounded when played on modern instruments. We're talking here about pieces from composes as recent as Chopin.
Agreed. The only must have on this list is south.

After that, I personally add allauth, storages, and s3-folder-storages as well, but that's a personal preference thing and there are very good reasons to use alternatives to each of those components.
Are you seriously going to try to make either of these arguments?

a. Your original point suggested that continuous dysfunction is the reason that the U.S. is successful. Not only is this nonsensical, it is ahistorical. Yes, the U.S. has had periods of hyper-partisanship prior to the last fifteen years. The most serious of these resulted in a war. However, over most of the last 224 years, the U.S. has had more periods of cooperation and compromise than hyper-partisanship and dysfunction. Even during the 1930s (where there a plot to stage a coup d'état, defeated only because the plotters misjudged their preferred candidate) and the 1950s (e.g., McCarthy) the business of government moved forward and there were measurable improvements in the quality of life and infrastructure directly attributable to government intervention. (See also the TVA.)

b. Your assessment is flat-out incorrect on numerous levels. Again, it assumes facts that are not only not in evidence, but contrary to the facts that actually exist. This is a common problem with choosing to believe ideological stances rather than comparing them against facts.

Under no circumstances do I think that all government programs are successful; however, the U.S. saw greater real economic growth during times of higher government spending on infrastructure programs and social programs (as I indicated) than it has when these things fall to the best “interests” of the monied classes and so-called “Christian charity”.

I don’t know what your particular political stance is, but your characterization of the charitable nature of Europeans is misguided, at best—a lot of the higher “charitable” donation rates in the U.S. are because (1) the government funds aren’t there to assist those in need, (2) there are greater tax incentives to donate more. I put “charitable” in quotes because all donations to churches—for any reason whatsoever—are considered tax deductible in the U.S. Most of those donations are not used for local charitable assistance (e.g., soup kitchens, etc.) activities; they are used for church building maintenance, salaries, mission work, etc.

I suspect (because I don’t know where to find the actual numbers for this) that if you were to measure per-capita charitable assistance spending through charitable donations, it would be similar. I also don't happen to think that the success of a nation should be measured on how financially charitable its people are to those less fortunate members of society—I think it should be measured on how few of its people have what is now termed food insecurity. If that can be done with charitable donations, great—but as the U.S. amply demonstrates, it cannot and never could.
Then we all need to become politicians. I find this to be a reasonable thing to strive for.
>>If the politicians who are re-writing the constitution come from inside a dysfunctional system,how will they be able to ever come to a consensus

That is the issue with the current constitution, it doesn't allow a consensus; it doesn't have anything to do with politicians.
Progvember - For Those Who Write In Code, Not Words
Thanks for all these links! I skimmed them, and it's fun to see that two of them rip into Ionnadis' work, while Ionnadis rips into the Jager/Leek work... It's also a cool exercise in reproducible research and open peer review, both of which are far from common.

In my opinion, the entire exercise of data-mining the published literature is pretty much futile. We already know there are problems in the published literature and that scientists are pretty mediocre at statistics. Pin-pointing the exact value of how mediocre only leads to, as your link shows, a mountain of published works, hurt feelings (on Ionnadis side I guess) and doesn't solve anything.
Even for big companies, the stock market isn't always liquid enough over the short term to reflect the true value. In March of 2008, a lot of big company stocks were selling for well under their expected long-term value because there simply weren't enough buyers with enough liquidity to keep up with the selling frenzy.

Temporary spikes in supply (or demand) can drastically distort the value of any asset.

What I'd like would be a 'From Novice to Employable using Clojure'

I've heard some nice things about Ruby, but I think I'm too much of a spoiled noob in my exposure to Clojure. I'd even take a class if it was Scala or Erlang or something along those lines.

Sometimes I hate being a spoiled noob, because I'd really like a job programming, but I don't want to pause learning Clojure unless I'm learning some language that seems to be at least close to it. But trying to get a job whene you can build stuff in Clojure but not much else (I've done a little in Python too, and did enjoy that a bit) is a tough task. Or at least it has been for me up to this point. Virtually everyone wants some veteran Java or Python hacker who's also got Clojure chops.

A job in Clojure centric web development...is it too much to ask?
I wonder how far back these accounts actually go. "Adobe accounts" have been a thing for at least 4 years -- the first time I needed one was in 2009. I'm sure they probably extend back further than that.

If this is a database that's been growing over a long enough period, the distribution might be very different compared to a system that's only been around for, say, a year.
It seems wrong, or VB-ish, to assume the local system settings for things such as parsing. Shouldn't the default be to use UTC, and then force developers to opt-in to "whatever the user currently has"? Or at force parseUtc or parseLocal? I understand that there's an argument for doing what the programmer probably has in mind, but in too many cases, the programmer hasn't even thought of that.

The fact you could run this, take a flight somewhere, run it again and get totally different results seems unsettling. (Same thing applies to numeric parsing/display functions.)

I ran into one customer having problems authenticating to our service; turns out his clocks were on local time, not UTC. He seemed upset about that, until I pointed out that his billing records will get an extra hour, or go negative, during DST transitions. Changed his tune pretty quickly.

Another customer handled it a different way: "Oh, the platform we use crashes when a time transition occurs, so we never generate records spanning such times."

I'm not blaming you in any way, nor do I have a moral issue with it. I suspect the percentage is higher though...

As you indicate advertisers have a major issue with it.

Again, you are piping functions, not programs. Piping programs is important to shell scripting. This is actually very hard in PowerShell. I've written a few cmdlets; it is hard. And even harder for the user.

No, cmdlets are hard to develop. You have to follow a hard-to-understand API that doesn't ship with the operating system. With bash it is stdin and stdout... that's all you really need to know to write any shell script. With PowerShell you have to write a very particular type of script that compiles to .NET (and again DOES NOT SHIP WITH THE OS); your language choices are limited to about 3. Interoperability is important to something as fundamental as shell scripting and PowerShell is not interoperable.
