Agreed. When I saw the link on Hacker News, my gut reaction was that it was probably Snowden; however, I have to say I think the Pope was the far better choice (and I'm an atheist).

He's the first Pope from what is often called the Global South, and really brings a different perspective and emphasis on cultural and economic issues that could have massive implications for the entire world (whether you're Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, atheist, etc) -- reaching far beyond the debate Snowden started.
That's interesting. Two articles I've read (and that's all I am going on) have stated that the majority does not support and that the opposition is pushing for a referendum knowing it would win.
How to keep believing in yourself
A manager's primary goal should be to make themselves superfluous as much as possible. Whether that can be attained for the full 100% depends not in a small part on the type of business your in.

Doing away with managers entirely is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

I also can't fail to notice that like this example, most of these attempts start with horror stories about a failing management / organization. Just because doing completely without management is better than the previous situation, doesn't mean that there isn't a middle ground which might work even better.

Exactly. If your life is lived online, especially in the tech community echo chamber, Snowden is going to mean a lot more to you than he does to most people.

There are 1.2 billion Catholics in the world. I attended Catholic church growing up, and the pope has a lot of influence on Catholics. Many of these people have portraits of the pope (at the time it was John Paul II) in central areas of their homes. If you aren't part of that community, maybe it is hard to see how much of a difference the pope can make, although I think this pope has been hard to ignore, no matter who you are. When he speaks, hundreds of millions closely listen. And action happens.

He may not really have changed the church on the topics of contraception and abortion, but that's also not what he is really out there talking about. The topic is humility, compassion, and charity. When is the last time these topics really had a globally influential champion?

Ground level action outside of a government. There's hundreds of millions of Catholics who listen, and if the Pope says 'let your voices be heard' they'll certainly be vocal.

Plus peace doesn't just have to be an end to armed conflict, it could be helping restore peace to just one person through charitable acts.
Cars suck at a fundamental level too, because only a quite limited amount of people can move from "any point" to "any point". Otherwise there everyone is stuck for hours. That does not happen nearly as often with public transport or bikes. You also need to sacrify a fair amount of your cities to cars, parking alone takes a lot of space.

Your infrastructure argument works in both ways: The fact that there's no city with working public transport in the US is a result of communities who primarily plan for cars, nothing more.

I actually suspect that the accountable game doesn't work.

Have you ever heard of that guy? Nope. Will you ever hear of him again? Well only if he was right...

The game works essentially like this. Create N identities for a topic, at each junction of the topic (substantial news, price developments, what have you) you'll have one of the identities make up a prediction that's exactly opposite of another identity.

If an identity is now straying into the clearly "wrong" territory, discard it, continue with the identities which have turned out to incidentially make a right prediction.

You continue this until you've weeded out all identities but one, which is now endowed with a streak of having made the right predictions. That's when you strike, now it's time to monetize on that belief that you're an expert in some or another fashion.
You leave them behind on every surface you touch.

Sounds great ... call me in 10 years and let us know how it went. Somehow, I think the company will be acquired & re-orged, dead, or someone will take over who re-injects managers.

It's sad, really, because in principle, I agree.
meh, I am not impressed by the pope. If he wanted, he could to something, e.g. propagating the use of condoms in developing countries. But so far all he did were some propaganda stunts. Especially the "capitalism = bad" letter he published (written in the Vatican, surrounded by gold and amassed wealth) is not worth the paper he printed it on.

I have recently visited South Africa and I have seen the problems caused by non existent (or rather: not allowed by the church) family planning.

However, lots of people (mostly Catholics) just want see some change, and Franzicus is feeding their hopes. Not a hard job after Ratzinger (remember, he was head of the current-time inquisition), but as long as he doesn't tackle any of the real world problems that are within his reach, he is nothing more than a prop.
You are doing the same thing by assuming that Snowden's influence is as vast as that of Christianity.

It's not "just" about the internet, or even IT - it's the revelation that we are forced into a panopticon, that all of us are spied upon.

Christianity has nothing real at it's base. It's just mythology. Yeah, there are a huge number of people who "believe" it.

In contrast IT shapes just about every damn aspect of our lives. Just about all financial transfers, personal communication, news, etc. etc. are stored on computers of some shape and travel the internet. The internet has enabled the arab spring, international scientific collaboration and many, many, MANY other things.

As a little example of the real impact the Snowden Leaks have, just look at the number of Christians[1] vs. the number of cellphone subscriptions[2]: There's about 2 billion Christians. And about 6 billion cellphone subscriptions. So please don't go yapping about how fucking important some half-dead fairytale is.

[2] https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=number%20of%20people%2...

Addendum: Please also note, that the Pope doesn't even represent all Christians but just catholic Christians, of which there's even less than a billion.

Meanwhile, the Snowden Leaks are important to just about everyone. The only people who are unaffacted by this are people who live without any computers.

"Time Person of the Year 2013", 1 hour ago, 38 points, 57 comments.
Very cool. I think the point about transcribing equations directly from papers glosses over some of the hard issues with building numeric libraries around floating point precision and numeric stability.

It's not that uncommon to see code that would have worked perfectly if double precision floating point numbers were actually real numbers, but which blows up badly once rounding errors happen.

Unfortunately there's not really any way to abstract those issues away. In general, I'd hope that any the authors of widely used numeric libraries have carefully thought through these issues.
I've known online poker players who can play up to 8 at a time, just flipping around on individual windows in 1 screen. I think a lot depends on the stakes of the table, and the style of play. Someone playing aggressive with small stacks on moderate stakes doesn't need to pay attention to the level of someone playing with a large pile in high stakes games.

Since poker is a zero sum game, many pros find it more profitable to be spread out amongst multiple games of amateurs at modest stakes, than at a high risk high stakes table. (Collecting pennies rather than fighting over dollars, or predictable farming versus unpredictable hunting)

Ask HN: Should managed languages like C# be preferred over languages like Rust? 
It's going to be 2014 soon; Many managed languages like Java/C# touted as the replacement to C/C++ in their niche are simply diminishing over recent trends. There is a huge surge of interest in native AOT compiled languages like Rust, C++14, Go etc. In foreseeable future, are we going to witness the rise of the other native language, or managed languages have still got some air? (In C/C++ niche of embedded, high performance, and heavy multimedia apps like game engines)
I'll make an investing analogy. Investors understand very well the importance of diversification in a portfolio to reduce volatility and as a result, enhance yields. It is easy for them to do this as the overhead for buying a stock might be as small as pressing a "buy" button. Obviously there's some thinking and research as well, but it is probably measured in days or weeks.

Human beings tend not to be diversified in their skills portfolio because the efficiency gains of specialization has strongly encouraged people to specialize by way of greater income or profits. Most years this is excellent as the demand for goods and services tends to change fairly slowly. That makes it possible for supply and demand to roughly line up and for people to be gainfully employed. But when there is a demand shock it wreaks havoc upon industry as the highly tuned, efficient machine (or group of people) can now produce 2x or 3x the demand.

There are some who do have a diverse set of skills who I would argue are resilient to demand shocks. Someone who is a carpenter and a mechanic is less affected by the demand which is out of his control and more affected by the decisions he makes for which skill to offer on the market. The demand for fixing cars and carpentry is likely much less correlated than the demand for carpentry and carpentry (perfect correlation) or the demand for carpentry and plumbing (highly correlated).

Now obviously it isn't easy or free to be both a mechanic AND a carpenter and over a single year it's obviously a waste of time to pursue both. But over 10 years or a career it would likely be beneficial. The time spent learning a second trade is effectively an employment insurance premium. It's a costly one to be sure but you could look at it that way.

Society benefits from this skills diversity as well. Aggregate demand is higher with full employment and full employment is easier to attain when people can recover from job loss in days instead of months.

As someone who has used Eclipse, Netbeans and IntelliJ for years I can say that without a shadow of a doubt that IntelliJ is far ahead of the other two.

The only areas where Netbeans is ahead is built in tools for profiling tools and heap dump analysis, and wizard for visually creating a GUI. I can't think of a single area where Eclipse is better except perhaps number (but not quality) of plugins.

That's true, but the statistics tend to show that consumption rate is unrelated to its legal status.

As far as I know, there aren't any records of a boom in consumption just because a drug was legalized. And I'm not talking about marijuana only, but drugs in general, alcohol included.

Considering that, we can say that the fear of people going mad about a drug just because it was legalized is another myth of the "war on drugs".

I suspect some of the reason is that even admitting your mistake it often won't save you from getting down-voted.
This is such bullshit. The problem with all forms of sitting for long periods is that (without corrective exercise) your spinal muscles waste away.

This is where the pain comes from - your spine is not supporting itself any more and the discs become compressed and misaligned and the muscles more easily strained.

In this context, sitting in a more relaxed position where "less strain is placed on the spinal disks and associated muscles and tendons" might temporarily avoid some of the pain from strained muscles but is going to make the problem worse in the long run.

To get away from this cycle of back pain you need to do one thing: targeted exercise to build up the atrophied muscles.

Personally I have found that a more 'active' (i.e. straight upright) sitting position also helps, now that my back is fit enough to cope with this.

'Ergonomic' office chairs like the Herman Miller seem to make the problem worse for me, I believe because they are all designed with the misguided notion that they should support your back for you.

It is well known that bones, joints and muscles all need loading and working in order to stay healthy (for example: http://www.webmd.com/osteoporosis/guide/osteoporosis-exercis...)

If any of you are suffering from back problems and are lucky enough to live in Europe near one of these gyms http://www.kieser-training.com I highly recommend them (there are others with similar programme) ...I'm not associated in any way but they have made a massive improvement to my life.

The suggestion that 'strain' on 'muscles and tendons' is bad for your back is a dangerous one IMHO ...yes this is why you have pain right now, but the answer is to strengthen the back so the muscles can cope, not to use the muscles even less!

I was saying that the blog post is the best bug report I've ever seen. To extend the analogy: in my mind, the way you're treating it is like closing it as "INVALID" without any comment, which tends to annoy bug reporters :-)

If your argument is #1 (that Aphyr tested the wrong thing), then a reasonable reply would be to provide the model you did intend. If you tested it as well, that would be great, but it is reasonable to require the "bug submitter" to retest.

If your argument is #2 (that WAIT is just best-effort replication, and that it does not provide any guarantees) then that's fine, just say so clearly. But you should then stop disputing the model that Aphyr tested, because to do so implies the existence of a model which does provide guarantees.
Having worked with SAP via ABAP and Java back in the day (and hating it) I can still feel the soul of SAP through these web apps. They still feel incredibly slow and bloated for what they do. Their market dominance is driven by the FUD of other technologies unfortunately, so they need to create their own front-end javascript framework to keep the mystique going about how computer systems are complicated without SAP. On the other hand, when the SAP people retire I'd imagine they'll be completely out of business because no CTO in 20 years is going to get behind an SAP implementation as they work today.
