I don't think Clojure's popularity will be heavily affected by Scala's, but rather by the contingent of people who want to do dynamically typed and/or lisp-y programming on the JVM. I see Clojure competing more with Ruby, Python, jRuby, Lisp, etc than Scala. There may be some subset of those who can and will cross-over to statically typed Scala, but I think that for most part dynamic fans tend to stick to dynamic languages.
I was with you up until "It may be that you inadvertently marked a set of good emails as spam" haha. Thanks for the reply.
I disagree.

Clojure is mostly seen as "Lisp on the JVM", and I don't see Scala becoming more popular as anything negative for the Clojure community.
Article is from the British Broadcasting Company, about a British company testing the product at an airfield in Worcestershire, England. Me throwing "rozzers" in was simply a bit of humour.

As for the last: 1) Defending against such a system is not as simple as adding "mesh enclosures" 2) Defenses are not cheap, and won't be added to "police and all other emergency vehicles" for the simple reason that it's too expensive to do so. 3) Unless you're in an OJ style "chase" where there's nothing behind you except police cars, there's plenty of other vehicles that can be disabled, causing havoc that the police would (also) have to deal with.

Note: I'm not actually advocating using such a device to get away from the police. I do, however, think it is an eventuality, and when it happens, I will find it amusing, in the same way that I find just about any instance of people directly thumbing their noses at authority amusing.

neat idea, and some neat feedback already from folks. while i'm just getting started using go (like the features, can't quite say i'm enamored with the syntax) i like the virtualenv paradigm and glad to see it ported to other languages.
I was simply trying to say that feedback is sufficient, but not necessary for the creation of art.
1. It can be inferred the photo illustrates "caring" for programmers, as accompanying text suggests.

2. The programmer mentioned in the text is male (mentioned once by name and then as "He is seen here welcomed back"). Welcoming back obviously consists of caressing his body, which supports point 1.

Now I make no statements about cultural circumstances, tradition, the zeitgeist of the 60s and so on. Just that sexism is objective concept denoting unequal treatment of genders, and this photo is steretoypically sexist; so much in fact that it's hopeless to even play No True Scotsman here.
> Internet security is hard

And among the hard things is the fact that you can't have it both ways. In TBL's case this means he has to realize that DRM is Big Brother Inside. Standardizing DRM means building a standard framework for back doors. You can't be an enabler for the big entertainment companies without being an enabler for snooping.

Many security experts have not faced the fact that they cannot protect their users from state actors and still be deputized by the same state in crime-fighting. The only way to protect the user is to put the user's data out of reach of both spies and police. The security priesthood is easily co-opted and turned into witting and unwitting tools.
#keepsergecaptive
There should be some neutral third party non-profit that adjudicates bug bounties so that security researchers don't need to worry that their efforts will go to waste.

Companies could sign on to using this third party and pay a fee and put up escrow for the service. This would motivate researchers to find bugs for those companies that utilize the service, knowing payment will be impartial.
So, they don't mention what happens to a fast moving car. Especially a fast moving car with electronic brake systems.

It's also work checking out glp: https://github.com/cespare/go-localpath I've been using it quite happily in several projects.
My point is that the issue is completely blown out of proportion. I consent that this ad is targeted at men, so it shows things that appeal to men (not the least women being attracted to them). Would you say that in itself is a problem?

I think it is ridiculous to make that out to be a problem, because it would imply that no ads would be allowed to target men or women specifically.

If you show me that there are no ads trying to entice women into computing it is an entirely different matter (and presumably you would find few such ads in the 70ies - I don't claim they weren't biased). But dissecting a single ad doesn't make sense. Or rather, it doesn't make sense to deny the existence of sexual attraction and desire.

I'm sure you can find lots of ads where women do x (whatever, use some perfume, drive some car, whatever), and as a result men carry them on their shoulders or buy them a house, or whatever appealed to women at the time (maybe also men stripping for them, no idea). That would be "sexist" in the same way, except that it is ridiculous to complain about that because the desire to be attractive to the opposite sex simply is a fundamental part of human existence.
"Yet there are plenty of other colas out there, with very similar tastes, that hardly anyone drinks."

This also applies outside colas; lemonade, limeade, fruit juices, bottled water, sports drinks (non carbonated non cola sodas). Cokes enemy isn't pepsi so much as tapwater.
This is awesome. I noticed the digital and print price was about the same and saw this in the FAQ:

Q. Will you create an interactive HTML 5/Ubuntu/Android/iOS/Windows
8 appfor digital magazine delivery?

A. We will get our magazine onto digital storefronts straight away.
And we have ambitious plans for our own app - one where our community
becomes part of the editorial. But to start with, we need to focus on
getting our new magazine out of our heads and into your hands. We’ll
then be able to invest in our other ideas.

It would be really cool if they put out a nice interactive html5 app for viewing the digital version, and then open sourced it for the readers to make better (and for other magazines to use).
There are some interesting confounding factors though. Between 1970 and 2000, U.S. workforce participation increased by about 8%, while the population grew by 80 million people.

And while lots of manufacturing jobs have moved overseas or whatever, automation has had at least as much impact. If you look at it in terms of production, U.S. manufacturing has grown over time. Even something like the steel industry is pretty much at par with the output of 40 years ago, they just do it with a lot fewer people.

Still no support for projects on UNC paths, so not terribly useful for those forced to use folder remapping in Windows. I'd love to switch our students away from Eclipse, but without UNC support it can't happen.
Web apps that only officially support older versions of IE. In some cases, blocking entirely other browsers even if they would work. And even when they don't, the vendor only officially supports certain browsers and rejects any incidents logged using other ones.

The exact same thing is a key reason why XP has remained in use for so long.
Interesting. Is it hard to find gas stations which sell diesel over there as a result?
I'd want to see their emails before taking such a generous point of view. All the emails between this lab tech, police, and DAs should be released, and a special prosecutor brought in to review them.

Yes, I fully agree.

We jump between JVM and .NET land in our projects, whereas the myriad of wannabe be replacements are far far away from most enterprise radars.

> I've read the article and I don't think it mentions making F1 greener - it's not what it's about.

(1) Max Mosley and the International Automobile Federation decided 18 months before the 2009 season that all teams must develop a Kinetic Energy Recovery System, or KERS, for use in the 2009 season. It was part of the effort to make Formula 1 more <environmentally clean and relevant>.[1]

(2) Equally, efficiency will be key in 2014. And guess who had the most aerodynamically efficient car and fuel-efficient engine. Yes, Red Bull and partner Renault.

(3) These engines will be governed by two different fuel restrictions: a maximum fuel-flow rate of 100kg an hour; and a maximum of 100kg of fuel to be used through a race.

Now, that being said...the magnetic ers recovery of the turbo over-spin and electronic wastegate seem interesting and quite cool.

> Nothing has changed

Sadly, booth-babes prove you right.
Yes there are challenges, but most of them are solvable when the willingness to overcome them exists.
Since "Ray Bradbury" is the only hint as to what this could be (unless you're familiar with the mentioned challenge), and since I often look to comments to get a feel for the link's subject before even following it, I'll just say what a great idea this is: that you become a "collector of metaphors" (love this) by reading one short story, one poem and one essay every night before sleep, which is a great time to do it because your brain can then best absorb the new info while you sleep.

Arguably though, I'd place the time before the first sleep and the second sleep as even better (for those not aware, called segmented sleep and supposedly a natural thing for humans before electricity), since you have a couple hours still to comtemplate and/or get inspired by the material while in a quasi-meditative state. I got to sleep this way during a few weeks and I've easily written my best fiction passages in these hours, they came so naturally and effortlessly, like my mind and focus were sharp as a razor whereas normally I'm all around the place (as you can see in this comment.)
I don't mean to criticize anything about your line of thinking because it sounds like you're doing what makes sense to you and you're happy. So who am I to tell you you're wrong?

However, I do feel that your description hints at the essence of what I was saying earlier: that avoiding a large monitor is somewhat like self-deprivation. You don't want to get spoiled by becoming accustomed to the increased productivity yielded by a large monitor with a large virtual desktop. You're a mobile worker, so that makes a lot of sense. I do most of my work at either my office or at home. So I have two modestly-powerful workstations with lots of monitors at each location (in total, I've spent about twice as much as I would have to buy a high-end laptop).

Because I am not a mobile worker, I have a particularly small laptop (a Surface Pro). I feel crippled when I try to do serious work on my laptop because the screen is so tiny and there's so much context hidden by windows stacked on one another.

In a further-out future, I hope that laptops (or whatever portable device we carry) can one day project a very large, very high-DPI display of their own, giving you and me the best of both worlds.

If I read you correctly, you'd love to have the increased productivity of a larger virtual workspace, but today's technology and your need to be mobile keep you thinking it's best to focus on mobility first. That makes a lot of sense.

I totally agree that the current batch of 30" displays are disappointingly low-resolution. So much agreement on that! Primitive, stale technology, stagnant for 8 years. But I think I've already said enough about that in this thread. :)
I am pretty sure electronic braking systems have to fall back on mechanical braking to be approved, but of course you'd lose any electronic assistance like ABS which might be dangerous if conditions aren't great.

That said, running over a spike strip isn't anyones idea of a safe way to stop either.
You'd rather use aerodynamic surfaces for turning as well as the speed increased.

It would start resembling aerobatic aircraft like Extra 300.

High aerodynamic acceleration is an old thing, it's how they actually discovered G-induced loss of consciousness. If you are mostly doing the racing with electronic motors, there's less noise and it's not as interesting anymore. Therefore some airstream operated whistle or siren would be useful, as you could deduce the speed directly from it:

PyCharm was my gateway drug into JetBrains. Actually, it was the ReSharper plug-in for Visual Studio. Now days, I won't consider running software that doesn't run on multiple platforms. So glad that JetBrains is delivering great IDEs for those bigger development efforts.

Respectfully disagree. Your post suggests that motor industry innovation is driven (pardon the pun) by F1. Some of it is, but typically for super cars. Certainly not all of it, or even most of it.

Besides, constraining the car specs in and of itself stifles innovation. How much F1 tech is there in Tesla, for example?
Cibyl and NestedVM seem to be in the wrong cell. These take C/C++ source and produce Java. Come to think of it, the Java target should probably be "Java/JVM" as NestedVM can skip Java, going straight to JVM bytecode.

Another suggestion of code I've played with before: http://IKVM.net to run Java (JVM bytecode) on C#, errr, .NET CIL.
Go isn't a competitor to C. Having a mandatory garbage collector makes that pretty clear. Go is instead a competitor to the legion of other high level, predominantly application-focused languages: Ruby, Python, Java.

Rust is an alternative to C and C++, but Go doesn't have a claim to that.

I actually hate the developing for the web, so FirefoxOS has no real interest for me. I'm grateful for the work those guys are doing, but I will never create HTML5 apps. I'm more of a systems, and robotics programmer and I love it but somehow these interests can never overlap with the way FirefoxOS functions.

So there isn't much of a value proposition for me.

Why ascribe this to "marketing"? If marketers could control what colors children want to wear, they'd change them every year to spur sales. Fashion isn't that predictable or controllable.
It could be argued that the 1960ies and the changes in contracteption would be the major turning point in that area, and "women born in the 1940s" would be sexually active in exactly the 1960ies - so to properly validate the thesis that it's "the same as always", you'd need to compare modern habits with those people who were born in 1920s or earlier.
I don't think OO has ever really been the problem with regard to databases, or even the particular C++ and Java approach to OO, nor do I think SQL engine support for document storage apporaches is a solution any more than SQL engine support for OO structures was.

The problem is developers of applications which rely on persistent data not feeling the need for a more than superficial understanding of the data storage technology they are using, which is a problem independent of programming paradigm or database paradigm or database language.
On one hand, I think that's the GPs point, but on the other the ad is clearly meant to be humorous.
UPS also now appears to be interested in replacing its reliable army of brown-shorted carriers with repurposed evil mindless deathbots.

This is one of the reasons I avoid TechCrunch, which appears to be a sensationalist/gossip-mongering type of opinion platform pandering to teenagers, rather than a true tech news organization.

Previously they had an article on what they called the uselessness of near-field communication (NFC) devices, even to the point of redefining the initials as "Nobody F--king Cares" (my obfuscation, not theirs). Really? I do care.
There are a lot of things wrong with this, I'll just pick one.

Can you please explain more about what you think the relationship is between ADTs and monadic control of IO effects? The two are really not much related and there are languages like OCaml and F# which have ADTs but very limited use of monads - not for controlling access to IO. A monad need not be an ADT either. It really sounds like you know very little about Haskell and if you are going to criticize Scala for not getting the Haskell bits right then you really should understand it first.
Because XP probably does everything they need and the upgrade will be reluctant.
I'd love to know just how much of a possibility there is of this happening. I've spent a lot of time customising and tine-tuning my own blog, so I've no interest in seeing it turn into one of millions of generic Google+ "blogs".
Wouldn't that be potential evidence for the idea that the code is likely quite redundant?

In Java you indeed do need lots of stuff like getters and setters.

Well, they do have some value ( 1/3 of purchase price?), but who cares? The well marketed perception of "Diamonds are forever", that they don't lose their value ever, is a common consensus belief of the majority of diamond ring buyers.

You're right, but up until 10 years ago the best driver still had a chance. Schumacher turned Ferrari around, proving it. And that's when they really started changing the rules to promote random outsider wins.
The big thing about the end of XP is the non-support of SNI (server name indication) in TLS (SSL) in any version of IE on XP.
Curious, what or who do you consider to be genius?
This reminds me of a few people I knew in college. I think certain people just have a better spatial awareness that lets them hack their physical surroundings, and with my friends it tended to happen a lot with the mechanical engineers. One roommate I had would build custom furniture kind of like this guy, to make the most out of his small room. He had a large television, a couch, a computer desk, a bed, a wardrobe, and a dresser in the same space where I had trouble even having the last 4 things, and he could fit all that in there by his clever use of space aided by custom fixtures that he built out of 2x4s.
"Best car" in 2014 technology could be seriously very dangerous. It would also be so expensive that you'd get 4 companies competing.

And best driver? Well, one guy seems to do quite well year after year, so maybe he's pretty good.

It'd be cool to see (even simulated) how a Computer driver would do.
It's worth pointing out that "marketing" includes such things as distribution and availability. If I really liked RC Cola, I would be disappointed often. But every corner store, fast food joint, and taco truck has at least Coke or Pepsi and often both.
I think "zero" is overstating it. And there are many products that lose a substantial fraction of their value as soon as they're purchased. Try reselling your mattress even if it's in near-perfect condition.
When I lived in a big apartment building, sometimes my Amazon packages would go missing. The thief got an EVO 4G screen protector, a micro USB cable, and some hand towels.

Most Amazon orders aren't expensive things. Going to jail for a few years for hijacking an aircraft just isn't worth it, when you can just wait for the package to be delivered and steal it from someone's doorstep. Even then, probably not worth it.
Doesn't matter; its the males opportunity cost. Have sex with as many single women as you want as long as you're willing to pay a months pay for a ring for each of them. Compared to modern child support payments that would be pretty cheap for some fun, although in context in the olden days it was a relevant issue.

There are of course other societal and cultural issues with an institutionalized "pay a woman for sex" scheme forced on all women. The issue with a street walker is not her chosen line of work which all women are also culturally forced into, the problem is she's undercharging the rest of the fiancee market, cheapening their "product". The union work rule is you get an expensive ring.

I'm not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with those positions but just pointing out they exist.
Thanks a lot, Healthcare.gov

Good question, we're building as we go through this discovery process.

At the end of the test period (which will be at least 2 months) our users will have early access to the Kudu product.
It's good to see people getting what an MVP should be. In this case it's proving that someone is willing to pay X amount monthly for a specific service. I guess the next thing to prove is that the company can deliver this for less than X monthly.

I assume they've some confidence they can create the technology or they'd have started with that side of things. No doubt there is still risk there but there was probably less there than on the market side of things. Good work.
The whole "driving upside down" thing is mostly theoretical because although the aerodynamics might allow it, none of the rest of the car is designed to work upside down without some modifications:
