We've been ploughing through a redesign recently, and Thorax was on our shortlist of frameworks, along with Ember and vanilla Backbone, being "opinionated" and "battle-hardened. However, we found the documentation outdated in parts and it made it really hard to get things going in a short amount of time (Ember's documentation was an order of magnitude worse, however).

In the end we decided on vanilla Backbone, due to our needs and the possibility that Thorax was suffering bitrot (documentation is always the first thing to go). However, we'd like to give Thorax another try provided we can get what we need working.

Either way good work. Thorax is a sensible addition on top of Backbone.

Check out Daily Fantasy sports... you get to draft a new team each week for football. With other sports it really is Daily, but football is based on weeks.

And at least you were able to get to the playoffs... better than I ever did.
Why should you learn about sports just so you can participate a conversation of content won't matter in a week? I recommend a different approach: Have a conversation about something constructive that your peers might not know about. "Did you read gwern's article about spaced repetition?"[1] "I played around with WebRTC last week and got video chat working. I found a lot of bugs in Chrome and Firefox..." "Have you ever wondered how async.js avoids exploding the stack if you give it synchronous functions?"[2] Etc.

This can enrich your peers as well as yourself. Heck, they might even follow your lead and do more interesting things in their spare time.

2. Actually, it looks like sync detection was reverted a few months ago. It was initially added in https://github.com/caolan/async/commit/6ad64aca4c04857086f03...

Oh, I see. But "python" wasn't represented, which confused me. There is still a large discrepancy between the different frameworks in the javascript and python set.

But the original point was that database and I/O make the largest difference. After restricting the set of languages and frameworks to python and javascript, I can only (now) agree.

109,000-5700 rps for JSON requests, and 4800-117 rps for multiple database queries. Quite significant.
The number of longshoremen needed to run a modern port has decreased by a factor of 10 over the last 30 or 40 years. Because of their strong unions, the one's who remain get paid very well. Unions don't really have a strong bargaining chip once their labour is no longer needed.
The condescending tone of this article makes it almost unreadable.

Play FF because you enjoy it.

Watch football because you enjoy it.

Don't secretly deride your coworkers for enjoying something you don't. That makes you a shitty person to be around. And chances are you enjoy doing something that is equally irrational (like playing video games or solving Rubik's cubes or playing Settlers of Catan).

Arch is great, but you can get yourself into a world of hurt if you do not remember to do a system update every couple of days. I've b0rked a couple of Arch installs this way and fixing them is an hour or two of frustration usually.

um you're also in an 8 person league. easy to get great players in the draft.
My recommendation: Arch Linux. Focusing on "bleeding edge" is nothing to scoff at, a lot of the software coming out lately get major improvements almost weekly.

There is also the fact that you're running a clean system. You install once, grab what you need, and you're left with a stable system where every potential problem has a very easy and well-documented fix. You do not suffer things like screen tearing because some unwanted compositor you do not actually use is conflicting with your Desktop Environment.

There are plenty of good distros, and they all have the lack of Ubuntu in common, my favorite is Arch, but your own opinion is the only one that matters, take an afternoon to check out the various favorites.
It actually does support at least one of the bands that Verizon uses for LTE. There's a small chance that, like the Nexus 7 LTE, if you insert an already activated SIM card it might just work for LTE.
The risk of anything happening very much like the last time is always low.
I left Ubuntu just because I don't trust them (issues 2 and 3), but I don't understand why people make a big deal about the default DE. I switched to Mint because I know everything "just works" with my laptop on it, and just changed the DE to i3. I previously used i3 on Ubuntu with no problem, I can't imagine it'd be too hard to use xfce or whatever else you wanted on Ubuntu.
> Why should you learn about sports just so you can participate a conversation of content won't matter in a week?

Hell why stop at sports? Let's just ignore current events that will be forgotten in a week!
A few months ago, after moving apartments and traveling to renew some official documents (passport, visa, etc.), I had exhausted my emergency fund.

It turned out that in my next pay period, someone in accounting had forgotten to file time sheets on time, so all the employees who were not paid a salary had to wait until the next period, which was another two weeks. Following the next pay period, I didn't receive any work for 4 weeks. Over the next few days, it followed that my university raised tuition by 2k (for international students) and was due very shortly, and my car died whilst out and about, resulting in having to tow it home.

I spent the next 6 weeks living off of about $15-$20 / week. Although this is still very doable, when you are faced with buying a new tube of toothpaste, buying dinner for a few days, and running a load of laundry, you will of course choose the food.

Everything quickly deteriorates. Your clothes get dirtier and dirtier, because you are wearing them all continuously. Your lack of hygiene becomes noticeable (can I really afford a haircut?). Your shoes develop tears and holes from all the walking (could not afford public transport). The worst part of it all, is looking at other people who are more than comfortable and wishing for their help but being far too embarrassed to ask for it.

It is an extremely rut to get out of. It's very hard to achieve goals when you have such little energy. The easiest way to prevent this situation is to increase the size of your emergency fund, by definition, you cannot plan for emergencies. I should not have used my emergency fund to move apartments and do some last minute traveling.
I didn't even read his article... , already spent to much time on Gagnam Style ;)
Not everyone works in a San Francisco-based start up that employees 90% technical folks. Perhaps people are just interested in a low-effort conversation item so they can interact with co-workers, neighbors, and a different social circle? Some engineers like the fact that they can enjoy fantasy sports for the nerdy, statistics aspect and still be involved with something enjoyed by "normal" people.

Not everything in life has to be about programming. And caring about sports does not preclude you from having technical discussions either.
What kind of security mitigation do you propose?
As a fantasy football player turned programmer.. it's great to see posts like this and I completely agree with the OP. It's fun, surprisingly logical (thus easier when playing against emotional people), and great conversation starter (co-workers, family, fathers-in-law).

My friends and I actually created what has effectively become "fantasy football for sales organizations" where managers can choose/weight metrics for employee-formed teams to compete over across seasons. It's early but so far the results have been impressive. The demo is here if anybody wants to check it out: http://tryambition.com
Your assumption does not follow from what I wrote, in fact it is practically the reverse since my point was that any industry is vulnerable.

It isn't just "dorks" who give even marginally attractive women special treatment - there are very few categories of men who don't (primarily gay men). Try this experiment out in real life - any time you see a man helping a female stranger with anything consider if he would do the same for a male stranger. The number of times a straight guy will go out of his way for another man who isn't a friend is practically zero.

women aren't stupid. they're actually very smart.

The idea that women deliberately take advantage of "dorks" sounds vaguely bitter and misogynistic.
There was a similar story a few years ago (2010). The "Robin Sage" profile was constructed as a honeypot across a number of social networks. Ultimately, the problem was the originators couldn't spoof the MIT alumni network:

This strikes me as another variant of the "just 1%" fallacy of the bad old dot-com bubble days. Back then it was common for a startup to enter an industry and use an overly simplistic model to justify the viability of their business. Often it went along the lines of: this market has X (big number) in total annual revenue, if we can capture just 1% (or some even smaller fraction) of that market that's Y dollars (another big number).

Of course, these are just silly math games to hide the true difficulty of their broken business models. It doesn't matter whether you're talking about 1%, 0.0001% or any fraction, that doesn't make acquiring that business easier. The difficulties of growing a business into multi-million dollar revenue territory are still there even if the total market is huge.

There's no shortcut, and even as the market gets bigger there still won't be a shorcut. There are always trillions of dollars on the table waiting for businesses to pick them up, but it typically takes a lot of hard work to build something with any degree of value.

yeah, exactly. those are the guys who are getting with the attractive women.

Actually, the success of science is its ability to predict what will occur in a wide variety of situations. Otherwise science wouldn't have been such a big deal.

If it were possible to specify how much happiness is enough, and how much happiness isn't, precisely, then it would be science. That's the only way to make generalizations from the results. But the threshold of happiness is imprecise, so therefore it's not science.

You may already be aware of this, but if you're not, it's something you eventually need to hear, so I'm going to tell you now. Not everyone wants to talk about tech stuff all the time.

The latter for blogs would depend on patience, and effort and/or luck. I.e. find a relevant blog, and either the blogger brings up the subject you're interested in, so you can ask a question, or---and this is probably the most important thing you can do, whatever forum type you do it in---become part of that blog's community. After a certain point you'll be able to ask the author directly and perhaps have it become the basis of a blog positing.

If you can find a community you'll be a long ways towards being a position to get your needs satisfied.
Agree 100%. In an era where every office worker probably has a smartphone or a tablet, work machines can be locked down for work and work only and no-one's lifestyle needs suffer.

I'd be interested if there are any stories of attractive men working their charms on the HR department, I bet it happens more than anyone suspects.

"Guaranteed Minimum Income" is different than "Basic Income".

The latter, which is what is suggested here, involves giving everyone the same amount of money on top of whatever they earn or don't earn.

For the former, the government pays the difference between whatever you're actually making and the minimum amount (if positive).

With BI there is still incentive to work at low paying jobs - you always keep more as you earn more. With GMI you are basically volunteering until there's a job that pays more than the minimum - it's effectively a different way of implementing a minimum wage.
On point 2, presumably the government has no vested interest in any particular form of mass transit and thus would choose the most efficient one, while the private companies (in this case) are accused of using buses to prop up other businesses (cars, tires, and oil).
Eyeballs = money? Where have I heard that before?
I think the point was that _because_ men dominate the computer industry, you will have an easier time targeting IT systems for exploitation with this method.

Women are people. Some are very smart, some are stupid, in the same proportions as men. For every male IT worker who's been duped by an attractive women, there's a female secretary who thinks her boss is really going to leave his wife for her.
Having a social life and a family doesn't preclude one from programming a lot. And you don't have to be programming 24/7. What it takes is learning how to combine the two. Meeting up with people and learning about programming (or other aspects related to programming), or joining a book club that reads books that cover elements of programming.

No one sits in front of a computer 24/7 to program. No one. Hell, Linus talks about how he spent so much time programming Linux in the very early days in the book "Just For Fun" and he even has time for socializing.

> That's not a life worth living.

For you, maybe. Don't assume your values apply to others. The other side is that it's not a life worth living if you spend 40 hours a week doing something you avoid the other 128 hours.

I think what will come first is driverless subway cars. They've already had this in some places (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_driverless_trains), but they're just replacing a regularly-scheduled human-driven train with one without a driver.

But think about what can happen if you have a system designed to not require a driver at each subway car. You can have smaller cars, called on demand. You don't need to wait for the next car to come. This is especially a benefit during late night hours, when you might have a subway come only every 20 or 30 minutes. This is made worse if you need to transfer.

Once you get cars running along existing lines with small cars, you can eliminate subway lines entirely. Just hop in a subway car, tell it where to go, and it gets you there. No transfers, no thinking of the best lines to take, just get in a car and it'll drop you off at your end location. It would eliminate taxis for many people, which would be one of the reasons this plan would create controversy. Also controversial is elimination of conducting jobs.

I see a few reasons replacing subways will work better than trying to replace cars:

* One organization already owns all the infrastructure for a subway: they can just choose to replace it, and get the laws written for themselves.

* Rails mean you don't have to worry as much about steering, or cars next to you turning into you.
I understand your point, and this might just be speculation, but I would assume (with zero constructive knowledge on the subject) that prisoners would have to present the card in order to get food.

At least, that's how my daughter's school lunch-line works.
Oh, you're a "PUA". Good luck with that.
Nice find. That kind of testimonial from the subject of the work is really important.

Another relevant item. The magazine he wrote for, The Institute, is a general-interest magazine of feature stories related to IEEE members. It's not a technical journal. It's more akin to the feature newsletters published by universities or engineering schools and sent to their alumni.

The general-interest technical IEEE journal is Proc. IEEE, which is peer-reviewed and contains research articles and research summaries written by the experts themselves.

Learn Go! It will take some effort but it's worth it.

I am currently switching to Go from PHP. It's really not that hard to learn once you get your head around the static types and lack of OO - last thing is a big plus in my book. The way they handle it with structs and interfaces are so much better.

Biggest problem is there are limited ressources on the net about Go, and the documentation is lacking compared to PHP, examples are sparse. So be warned it will take you some time to learn.

But it's such a beautiful and simple language, that will be a breeze to support in the future for you and your team. Debugging and maintainability is top knotch.

And much faster than PHP. Node.js is also fast, but well it's not as maintainable, javascript is a pretty messy language. My thoughts on the matter is described well here:

http://umugenzi.wordpress.com/2013/09/06/node-js-vs-go/

For the frontend i recommend AngularJS
There are already many driverless subways in existence (especially at airports). Many driven subways (BART in SF) are actually driverless, with a driver there just to close the doors and in case of emergencies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_driverless_trains#Unatt...

Good luck implementing totally driverless subways on currently driven subways, though. Unions will totally block the necessary incremental steps, so it would have to be an all-or-nothing back room skunkworks project from a public transit authority.
