Virtual classes with family polymorphism attacks the problem directly: you can add new variants as well as enhance the super class with new abstract methods: your system is abstract until all variants have implemented the abstract methods of the super class. You can then do cool things like factor all your functionality for X in one layer and Y in another layer, replicating variants in X and Y layers to specify their implementations separately.

When I did this in Scala (using traits and type parameters in a virtual class pattern), I got a lot of pushback from the FP people, who thought this problem couldn't, or more correctly SHOULDN'T, be solved using object-oriented constructs; it was one of the main things they liked to boast about in how FP was better than OOP, and I literally took that away from them. A 10,000 line pattern match was somehow preferable to a file with 20 traits that described how the new operation was performed per variant. Martin even made my pattern illegal via a new type check in the Scala compiler after I left EPFL :)

SEEKING REMOTE FREELANCER

STUDENTS & LESS QUALIFIED WELCOME

Hi,

I have a an unusual offer.

Here's the situation: I have a (mostly) turn-based web game 3/4 of the way done (technically), but unfortunately, the remaining 1/4 largely sits on the front end, in Javascript, a language I am not comfortable doing rapid development in. I need to transition to the business side of the job (marketing! ad copy! talking to people!) for a while & build the backend ecommerce components.

I would like someone who can work on the front-end and take it the rest of the way (it sort of kind of prototype works now). I've chosen Bootstrap/jQuery/Ember as the tech - no cutting-edge surprises there. The target audience is the FirefoxOS web browser, so it's a chance to learn about that platform (absurdly exciting IMO!).

The unusual part is this: unreleased software makes no money, and this is my first real indie gig. Ain't got no money for ya (today). I am perfectly happy to negotiate on a variety of axes, including the following - open sourcing the front-end, paying % of profit over some months post-release, exchanging work, etc. Note that any sort of financial compensation would require you to live in the US, as I don't fancy playing with international tax law. Bottom line is: I want to negotiate with you to make you happy, so that I can release my product and make me happy. :-)

Personally, I think this would be a useful small portfolio piece for someone boning up on Javascript & front-end work or someone with just enough experience in JS to use the frameworks. So I would suggest that any "less qualified" people feel free to contact me.

Unique long-term opportunity here as well - if the game becomes stable & profitable and you like the gig, the server middleware is in Common Lisp with a Postgres database - expanding into this will be an opportunity to use those technologies in production.

REQUIREMENTS

* Know enough Javascript and CSS to fool me into believing you can do the job (should be easy. ;-) )

* Good written English - most communication will be by email.

* Comfortable learning

BONUS POINTS

* Know Mercurial

* Has used bug trackers before

* Has written production Javascript before

> I see a fundamental issue with her presentation: she shouldn't have called the non-normative approach to modelling "feminist". Although it might help her grabbing a gender-studies grant, it's a loaded word, and it's extremely hard to do proper science with loaded words.

She's probably calling it "feminist" because the entire approach emerges from a strain of thought in feminist theory. That it is pretty far distant from what the average person thinks of "feminism" (and just as distant, though in a different way, to parodies of academic feminism), but that (both, really) is true of most things in of actual academic feminist studies.

> If she's going to study modelling paradigms based on some variants of fuzzy logic, great; but she gives me the impression that she plans to do little real science, possibly because of limited mathematical abilities, and cover it with some sociological and militant mumbo-jumbo that Sokal wouldn't have disowned.

I don't see support for either side of the dichotomy you propose here -- she discusses a number of concrete issues of interest (none of which are "variants of fuzzy logic", and all of which are serious theoretical areas.)

Where, particularly, do you get the impression you report?
>>>They could get that region-level information already from ISP routing info.

I think they want to know you are where you say you are. You'll find if you travel out of the area -- particularly out of the entire country -- you won't have access to entertainment you had while at home due to these regional restrictions. Just think of the times when you've gone to the BBC website to view a video only to be told you can't have it outside of the UK (the BBC license area).

I live ok without pattern matching and I build compilers/runtimes for a living; is that blub conceit?

I also have no problem with the expression problem. C# has partial classes anyways, which work even if type checking is non-modular. Of course, I would like it if C# support some form of pattern matching, but not enough to switch over to F# (whose pattern matching isn't as rich as Scala's, anyways).
That's a nice side-effect, yes!

Restaurants are an easier place to start, and in fact there are some services which already have databases of restaurants' menus.

As for RFID - I think a lot of people go there at first when discussing a solution to this problem. It might work just fine for smaller shops but in order to get it all over you need it built into the supply chain from the moment something steps out from being manufactured.

100% agreed. Good question. Though parents haven't really been able to control what children consume (and having been a child, I wouldn't have let my parents keep me away from something I wanted).

Why? The linked article doesn't make or depend on that argument.

Your entire response seems to be based on a bunch of presumptions about the word "feminism" and not one bit of actually addressing what is presented in the linked article.

It sure would.

The solution I originally came up with would be to run a POS system which is free for shops to use, but to take a SaaS approach to the software tools shops are given, and give them an opt-out feature which is to make their stock room publicly available via an API.

For the SaaSy-ness, you'd want to offer different things that the POS system can enable with the data it has - insights into sales, and as a CRM tool, essentially. All-in-one - give them the hardware for free (but on a lease) and charge for the software, make the API publicly available and charge companies to use the API. Maps-type-applications, SatNav companies, and so on, could pay for this.
Sorry yeah, that's what it'll be. The latest dev previews already identify as Trusy.

I think it was deliberately chosen because the effort is about directly applying theories of models of reality and use of language from feminist theory to programming languages, not because the word is "loaded".
I hope so. I think online stores will start encroaching into the space and it could force traditional retail to innovate a little, which could be good for this Thing.
10x changes are hard to come by, even at an early stage. That's like going from 3% to 30% conversion. If your site is mostly broken and one change takes you to 30% conversion, then you probably didn't need an a-b test to figure it out.

If children were playing CoD I'd blame the parents, and not the developer, who is clearly not engaging in a brainwashing conspiracy to get kids to think things.

They are smarter than you think. Some play dumb because people except them to be dumb, but try talking to a kid who isn't oppressed by people who think they can't engage with media actively.

>I think we should shame the executives responsible out of the industry and set the developers right or not work with them.

In other words, you want to encourage censorship for things you don't like.
Very good point. That campaign has apparently done well for them.
figured out why people want to cause harm to their leaders

Here's why people try to assassinate politicians:

#1 They're nuts (Hinkley, Czolgosz, Squeaky Fromme).

#2 They have some reason for doing so (Gavrilo Princip, Booth, probably Oswald).

There. Figured it out. As it happens, there are probably 100x as many nuts in the US as Uruguay, and probably 10,000,000 times more possible motives to kill the head of state/head of government/commander in chief/international celebrity who holds the US's highest office. Now you try and fix those two things.

If they titled it "Norway classifies Bitcoin as asset instead of currency". The tone would sound very different.

Guys, if you are building something you want the world to admire -- take the approach of idiot-proof video games: walk me through the process of getting "my context" up-to-speed with "your context". It'll make all the difference.

Perhaps. But then again the "Blub conceit" is nothing that exists in real life as a proven fact of computer science.

Looks like we need to add some clarifying slides to this presentation :-(. I'll do my best here.

Prediction is not in the instructions set; there are no "likely taken" flags, opcodes, or the like. You are correct that machines that have these features have found them useless, because compilers cannot predict very well. That's why we used the (saved) dynamic experience rather than static prediction.

In all machines, task change kills prediction behavior because the new task uses the prediction hardware and table for its own code, overwriting the learned predictions that were present before the change. When control switches back to the original task, the table contents and other state are no longer what they had been, and everything has to be retrained again. Training is costly due to mispredictions.

The predictions that get loaded are those from previous executions that were streamed out to memory, post-processed, and saved in the load module. They are not as good as up-to-the-cycle dynamic predictions, because programs have phases and the save predictions can only capture the overall experience; still, they are much better than static, or no predictions at all, which is the situation at program initiation or after a different task has scrubbed the tables.

Lastly, I agree that your proposed design isn't feasible. That's why the Mill doesn't work that way.

Google "define:request" yields this for a noun: "an act of asking politely or formally for something."

An ask isn't "an act of asking", it's the object/subject of a request. So it's not really a synonym, IMO.

A "triage nurse" (their exact wording) returns my call. I describe my symptoms and answer a few questions, these are then relayed to my doctor. If he feels the issue doesn't require a visit but requires a prescription the order is placed electronically and a nurse calls back to confirm my desired pharmacy, provide instructions and answer any additional questions.

The article uses Brazil as a bad example, when in fact it's a country where 20+ million were lifted out of poverty by welfare systems, investments in education and economic growth in the past half decade.

This attempt to paint a picture of left-wing governments as condemning citizens to a "median life" and "bread and sausage" is also used by the right-wing in Brazil, and bears no relation to reality. The nobody is going to get rich line means that nobody will profit in excess from your work, not that you will be prevented from getting richer if you really want to.

Any discussion of "overqualification" should begin with this chart:
http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_chart_001.htm

We often worry that acquiring human capital is a double edged sword, but it's hard to find that in the data.

That said, BLS has written that older workers face both lower rates and longer durations of unemployment:
http://www.bls.gov/opub/ils/summary_10_04/older_workers.htm

It seems contradictory at first glance: how do older workers have better and worse luck at the same time?

One way to explain this is that as older workers gain in specialized skills, it makes "search costs" more difficult, it's harder to match them to the right job. PhD's in narrow disciplines face a similar situation: it's much harder to find that good fit right out of school, but in the long run, once you find a place, you're more likely to be well compensated, poached, or retained in employment by those who understand your skill set for the rest of your life.

There could be other explanations. But from the raw data, if you had to bet on someone being employed, try to pick someone who is highly educated and older, no question.
That depends on wether you're a banker, or a peasant.
