How do I cope with startup envy?
Just yesterday I decided to begin reading a Calculus book (I never went to college). The very first thing covered was ƒ(x) which describes input being passed into a function. Needless to say, as a programmer I am very familiar with this concept.

So far, my vote is for Calculus.
> In the countries that excel over the United States in mathematics instruction, proof is part of every mathematics course, not just part of geometry, for example.

Can you expand on that? What do students do in other mathematical areas if they don't do proofs? I did all of my studies in France and I don't how much of a difference there is (though all my friends who have studied both in the US and in France found the maths classes a lot easier in the US).
Apologies for the friendly fire, but we did manage to achieve negative real interest rates in recent history.

People bought debt from governments at a negative discount at several points during the Great Recession because it was perceived as less risky than a bank (they were afraid the bank would go under, and take with it their money), and less costly than a cash vault. So that once self-evident fact now has a couple of exceptions.

Of course, this doesn't help consumers, since they aren't safer than banks, and it doesn't apply to Bitcoins, since the cost to store them securely is zero.

1. The only "producer" of fiat currency is the government that issues it. There is no incentive for a government to hoard money it creates to pay its own bills.

2. Even if we imagine a currency which must be produced, it's a matter of degrees. A little inflation is good, a little deflation isn't terrible.

3. Arguing that, because your dollar buys a better computer next year, it is the same as your dollar buying more food tomorrow than what it can today is beyond ridiculous.

They are not the same thing in any rational way.
It's listed as the most advanced course though. I pretty much would agree with you, but this poll is too illogical.

> In contrast, women over the age of 30 tended to rate shame- and happy- displaying men as equally attractive (and both more so than neutral).

happy guys finish ahead of control, not last... and the BS title is from the original paper.

that's over 30, but several of the graphs in the paper (not all) show happy guys beating the control. meanwhile i don't see anything clearly indicating happy guys lost to the control overall; it looks more the other way around. at the very least, it's not clear happy guys finish last and lose to the control.

EDIT: the abstract says:

> happiness was the most attractive female emotion expression, and one of the least attractive in males.

so they knew the title was BS and didn't repeat the claim in the abstract. in the abstract they use weasel words, in the title they intentionally lie to get more attention/views.
The consensus opinion of professional reviews is that the 5s is superior. The Nexus beats the 5s on display but lags the 5s in battery life, camera and build quality. CPU/GPU are comparable. We could continue to list minor features in each phones favor all day but those are the major specs most people care about. If you look at reviews across the board the 5s is a better reviewed phone and the Nexus 5 receives marks around the 5c. Vs the 5c it wins on display and CPU/GPU but loses on battery life, camera and build. It may be better than the 5c but I think it's a closer comparison.

Search Engine competition isn't dead: Diffbot's web search ambitions
I agree with the author, but I think you need to look a bit further behind the common advices for their reason to be.

People tell you to make small games because they've seen so many newcomers try to make big ones and fail hard, NOT because it's impossible to succeed in making a big game from the first try.

Actually, one very common advice that is NOT debunked by the author is "finish something, however small it is, because there is more to learn by finishing something than by failing at doing something big".

To give a (personal) example: I have been making an indie MMO as the sole developer for 2 years now (see my profile for details if interested). I've been told about a bazillion times that it is crazy and that I shouldn't do that. BUT I want to do it, and since I've been making exactly that professionally for 5 years before jumping, I know that I know why people say not to do it (probably better than most of them, actually). But if someone very new to game making asked me for advice, I'd still say like anyone else: "don't try to make a MMO as a 2-person team".

That stinks. I had my old number changed over and active service in < 1 hour. Their service is actually really good here in atlanta other than in parking garages, and strangely, in my own domicile. I get phone reception, but no data. I have high speed internet and wifi at home though, obviously, so it doesn't matter.
The popularity of the AR-15 is related to the popularity of the M16, but the "pretend you're a soldier" aspect isn't the main reason. A more complete explanation includes:

- Lots of manufacturers

- Reliable action (depending on manufacturer)

- 5.56mm NATO and/or .223 Remington ammo is (or, before late 2012, was) relatively cheap

- Light recoil

- Tons of accessories available

- Relatively accurate

- Fun to shoot

And also, among gun guys, there's at least a little bit of the feeling that by owning one, you're giving the middle finger to people who want to ban them.

What a fair and emotionally unladen assessment of an economic phenomenon.
Do not get me started. Dude, I was an AT&T wireless customer back when they were AT&T, still a customer when they were Cingular, and then when they switched back to being AT&T again. Probably ten years, maybe more? But every time I bought a new iPhone I had to call them and tell them I wasn't paying their $36 upgrade fee. They would then waive it after acting like it was a huge favor. The last time the rep said she'd do it "just this once". I told her that I would have to then reconsider my options for mobile service when my contract was up.

I didn't wait until my contract was up. 14 months later I paid the ETF on two phones and switched to Tmo. I think we'll come out about even versus just waiting until the contract ended. I grew weary of AT&T's nickel-and-dime bullshit, and the lack of signal at my house. Though I will credit AT&T with quickly unlocking the phones after the ETF was paid.
As a game designer, i'd say Physics, algebra, geometry come in VERY handy. Now, i am not familiar with how these topics are taught in the US system, but assuming your options are a progression, i'd say pre-calculus should do it.

Similar to your son, I have been programming since an yearly age. We had Macromedia Flash back then, and over the course of my academic life, as i progressed in the Mathematics courses, my programming capabilities increased with leaps and bounds. For example, the movement in my games was usually similar to Pacman or bomberman. No arcs, or curved paths existed. As i learned about 2D motion, i started making Platformers. As i learned trigonometry, I started making games involving curved paths on a 2d plane. Even a realistic Car game. i remember coming home from high school the day they taught us about "Radians" and began usign the sin, cos, tan funtions of ActionScript (because the documentation said it used Radians and that never made sense to me before). It was that very year i programmed game AI that would chase the player in a realistic way.

So yeah, math helps
Unlike the ar* and generally americans weapons, it can shoot in 'sandy' situations.
Read the quote again. Iwata was saying it was rhetoric, not fact.
I wouldn't look it that way. Programming is an art which aims to solve any problem in any domain using logical reasoning and systematic application of solutions that requires to solve the problem. Or even build a whole new thing.

Given that, programming is everything and anything. Which is why a good programmer would always focus on the problem not the knowledge required to solve the problem. Because if you embark on tough project, find solutions is essentially like making a discovery.

In my opinion you shouldn't ever first learn books(apart from the very basic ones) and then go in search of problems. The right approach is to look for problems, and while solving them and you can learn the knowledge required to solve those problems as you go along.

Programming is analogous to nearly everything in math. Programming is only a tool, which you can use to solve various problems around yourself modeled in some mathematical form(In short everything).

Which is why programming is the most awesome profession ever. Because by nature it lets you probe and grok the nature, working and science behind everything. That is why programmers are so good at problem identification, solution design and problem solving in general.

Lots of people who would otherwise be Linux or BSD users instead use OSX. Consequently, they are not free to modify their operating systems where (had it not been for Apple) they would have been. Their freedom has been reduced voluntarily, but it has been reduced.

Forking FreeBSD is not remotely the same thing as forking OSX and you can't "just use the open-source alternative if they want to change the source code" of OSX.
That's my take on the 3DS. The 3D part is a failure. Most people seems to turn it off and now Nintendo is releasing games that often disable it. The hardware wasn't ready at that price point.

My other problem with the 3DS is that they still haven't learned how to do downloadable software or online games properly. They're making the right noises on these issues... but it's not like it should have been a surprise.

> It [discrete math] has relatively few pre-requisites in comparison to advanced calculus (which I'm assuming means something like a first course in real analysis).

My first course in real analysis didn't have much in the way of prerequisites at all. I loved it because everything was covered ground up (including concepts like "limit").
That's a fair critique. I wasn't sure to allow additional controls because that would involve overriding browser actions, which may bother others and be inconsistent, and also is unintuitive. Definitely a more involved HTML5 game would require it, but I anticipated a casual level of players who only a few would be long term repeats.

Definitely good to know. It certainly looked the other way from an external viewpoint given the really close timing. That being said, I'd love it if they'd start up again it was always fascinating from a sociological perspective at what was working for people and what wasn't (It never helped me though, I ended up meeting my SO over IRC instead...)
Once he becomes locked in to the non-free platform, his is not free to modify the platform he relies on and is instead required to migrate to a completely different platform in order to make (potentially small) modifications.

By this logic, OSX is free software because I have the freedom to choose Windows instead.

I'm not advocating for the prohibition of non-free derivatives, but the position that adoption of propriety software doesn't reduce software freedom is ridiculous.
Power wise that was supposed to be (roughly) accurate. But Wii Sports was so successful I think it made the 'Nintendo is for little kids' image much stronger. At a time when Nintendo could have really used more mature and 3rd party games those publishers might have been scared off by the shovel ware system for people who aren't between 14-65.
I'm not from Stripe, but I think I can answer: you're fine. Porn businesses are avoided mainly due to high fraud rates (including friendly fraud, when the cardholder buys the website services and later falsely claims their card number was stolen). It's not out of morality. After all, many brick-and-mortar shops have no problem accepting card payments for porn magazines. Your business isn't porn, and you're unlikely to get chargebacks, so you're good.
I am tired of this perception around the world that americans do not know geography. I really wish someone would do this test in Europe or Asia, and compare the results. Are Americans terrible at geography, sure. But so is the rest of the world, believe it or not, there are ill-educated people everywhere.
In a lot of way programming is at the level of the programmer. If your son likely to know that some problem he's solving is best accomplished implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm or that for some aspect of his program it might be sensible to use a bloom filter? No. But will this stop him from creating what he's trying to create? No.

Programming is a progression from being able to give logical directions and knowing some simple arithmetic and commands all the way to knowing all kind of obscure things from discrete mathematics and linear algebra, perhaps with some application of things from calculus, statistics, and trigonometry occasionally thrown in.

However, what will separate proper journeyman code from mush is design and organization, something which is not entirely in the realm of math. There's a reason that programmers talk a about design patterns and waste a lot of time naming things.

So in a sense the cognitive root and differentiator of journeyman code is more analogous to the root of an understanding of architecture and planning than math.

Keep in mind that many professionals (occasionally myself included) do not even write journeyman level code.
Then the answer is "it depends". You can program at a level with a cognitive demand on par with Algebra (however defined), and you can program at the level of Complex Analysis. There's no one-to-one map between the two.

Just like math, you can go as deep into a programming language or concept as your mind will carry you so there's no equivalence relation.
Python also supports set operations (union, intersect, difference, issubset, issuperset, etc.). So set theory will help in that regard, too.

They ship Apache, but they only ship obsolescent (0.9.8) versions of OpenSSL. So their system Apache is built against OpenSSL 0.9.8y.
I dunno, I've done RF design work and I've lead an embedded Linux product (touch screens, USB, Wifi, Bluetooth, the whole shebang).

My manager when I was in design engineering was really really smart and would help me solve technical problems. My boss on during the embedded Linux project knew how to Get Shit Done. He was more people savvy and taught me that navigating a large bureacracy is a skill (even though it shouldn't be). It's tough a lot of times knowing which approach to take to gain organizational buy off to allow technical teams to progress forward.

I will note that my Get Shit Done boss has vouched for his direct reports and has won for us on many occasions.
Do you have a reason to believe this?

Think about all the Friend of Friend wire taps. Suddenly the $20 bill you bought starbucks with gets given as change to a drug dealer and you are on a known associate list.

While this is not something anyone who values privacy wants, this isn't that great of an example because the transaction history would show that the association is specious, as the association only exists through being a customer at the same establishment. A Venn Diagram of who "touched" which money wouldn't provide any value (this wouldn't stop people from making that association, I grant however).

However, this sounds a lot like contaminated currency[0], and no one thinks that just because you have a dollar bill that has illicit drugs on it means that you're drug dealer or associate with drug dealers. This ends up working for the benefit of those in the illicit drug industry much more than it harms those who are not, despite that both parties are using the same medium of exchange.

This always puzzled me.. when I have a great day, and walk around with a puffed chest smiling at people, women positively seem to ignore me. When have a bad day, or didn't wash my hair or something, it's the opposite, and I get eyed when I don't really want it. Once I walked around sulking, more or less staring at the ground, and a random young woman told me I was "very beautiful". I said thanks, but thought "WTF?! I look like shit."

Maybe people like it when they feel like they have to offer something to a person.
In my high school, I remember being introduced to functions of that type in Algebra II and at the very latest trigonometry (sines and cosines).

While a knowledge of functions is vital to understanding Calculus (the fundamental theorem of calculus depends on them), it's only a small component of the bigger picture. Calculus is mainly about how functions change with respect to some other variable (time is common) and the inverse of that operation.

True, but the operations you just listed are intuitive. It certainly doesn't take a math class or pencil-and-paper practice to know how to use them.
> t(45) = 3.44, d = 1.02, p = .01

I know this is probably extremely simple statistics, but what are these terms?

They're metrics about the strength of the finding - depending on the statistical method you're using, you'll get different ones. They're using ANOVA (analysis of variance) here, which basically compares likelihood mean result of two cohorts is the same.

T(45) gives the t score, which is a measure of deviations from the mean, so 3.5 higher than you'd expect if the populations were the same.

p values is probability it occurred by chance(given equal populations), so 1% in this case, which is pretty strong.

I'm not positive on d, but I think it's a measure of variance within the groups.

Disclaimer: was an Econ major in college but haven't used anova in a long time, I am not a statistician, this is not statistical advice.

That's definitely true, but no functional language is going to help with that. Those are only farther from the metal.

The only thing I think Java handicapped me with was understanding pass-by-reference or pass-by-value, but I figured it out when someone told me that Java is "pass by reference by value" meaning that in the method meth(Object obj) { ... } if you do obj.something() you are editing the original object, but obj = newObject won't change the original reference.
The "wasting energy" argument is idiotic.

The amount of energy "wasted" by the Bitcoin network will always be approximately the amount of energy that can be bought with the Bitcoins mined in a given period.

If the cost of energy is higher than the value of the Bitcoins the miners earn, miners will stop mining.

Some miners don't care about cost (people who get free electricity) but they are not a significant factor.

Miners also have to cover the cost of their hardware, so they want to leave a significant margin for profit.

The cost of power for the Bitcoin network is very small compared to worldwide power usage.

When you write code, try to remember the AK-47. Keep it simple, loose components, try to make it fault tolerant if you can. Make it not just easy to use, but also easy to disassemble, inspect and rebuild (design grey boxes not just black boxes).

I've been using Stripe for just over a year now to take payments for a 6-figure-a-year business. We've had no reversals whatsoever. The only time Stripe has removed payments have been in the case of the occasional chargeback, which we typically win; payments seem to get docked the moment you file your response to the dispute, and get credited back the moment you're notified the dispute has been won.

I was a little nervous when first setting up with Stripe too, so we enabled it for a few hours and let a few sales go through, then switched back to our old merchant account and payment gateway while we waited to make absolutely sure the sales went through with Stripe. 7 days later, the payments hit our bank account, and we switched everything over to them - been happy ever since. They have a great dashboard, and everything's far easier to deal with and manage than it was with our old merchant account. Only downside is the pay delay - merchant account deposited most funds in our accounts within 2 days; Stripe takes 7. But if you're doing pretty consistent numbers, this isn't too much of a burden to cash flow, since you've got the funds from a week ago coming in every day.
