I like how you defined heath, education, and intelligence as the raw materials, but they don't directly give you the return that will make you wealthy. You need to apply those skills in some way to make income generating assets, and that is the tricky part.

For most people, including Robert Kiyosaki, income producing assets basically means buying and renting out property. I disagree with doing that on so many levels and also think it's a terrible investment in todays over inflated market.

Another option is to save and make investments, but interest rates are currently so low that it's almost impossible to get escape velocity through low risk investments.

That leaves us with entrepreneurship. That is why we are here and it is probably our best chance, but is never risk free and not a path that the average person will use to build wealth.

This said, building wealth rather than accumulating savings is hard even if you are lucky enough to have all of the necessary ingredients and the right mindset.

Your pillars of health, education and intelligence are important. I'm glad that I have them because whilst I do, I hopefully won't go hungry. They are a safety net. However, I don't think that those alone are a path to building wealth.

This makes sense but then what are some useful ways to use cash to build wealth if not buying stocks and other investments? I'm a young guy with plenty of money in the bank (in the tens of thousands; obviously not enough to retire but I could quit my job and do nothing for a while) and basically no debt. I find and I'm sure I'm not alone here with this feeling that, while I could spend a lot more money, I'm perfectly happy spending significantly less than I make. Right now, it's mostly in a bank, waiting for me to spend it on god knows what. Any advice on how to use it to build wealth?

I read a funny quote somewhere, it basically said that git is a great library for building a DVCS...

Basicailly, I agree with you. What I'd personally like to see more of is an easy way for a company to define a workflow for version control, using git as the underlying mechanism, that fits exactly how they want it to work (think, if the company wants Git Flow, or some other workflow, they define it in my imaginary tool), but for the most part the developers never have to drop down to git to use it. They have an abstraction layer over the top of it.

I saw a paper, gitless, I think it was, that is trying to do something similar but less ambitious. Perhaps in the future we'll see stuff like it. GitHub Desktop and Atlassian Stash also do something similar, but not quite what I'm getting at.

It seems like this is something that should be handled by flags/tagging or some other object rather than destroying history.

Like, instead of collapsing A-E into a single commit, A should be marked as the start of project/feature/milestone/whatever Foo, and E as the completion of it, and A-E shown as a single object when viewing the history but allowing the user to drill-down to expose the internal commits.

Destroying information is never good.

> making language tools in windows is actually quite challenging due to the poor quality of tools.

This is why the tutorial doesn't use Windows. It would mostly be a tutorial about fighting to get tools installed instead of actually talking about building compilers. The total Haskell source comes out to about 500 lines of code for the whole compiler, the equivalent C would be an order of magnitude larger. It makes no sense to do what you suggest.

You don't focus on everything at once. Secondary windows can be viewed peripherally -- for instance you can tail a log, and your peripheral vision will notice motion. The other benefit is multiple windows as an alternative to alt-tab. Moving your eyes slightly is a lot easier than pressing alt-tab -- it's can be done without concious thought, so it doesn't interrupt your "zone".
I think health is a wealth asset of it's own, because if you lack it you'll trade your wealth to get it back if possible. It also gives you the ability to turn your education and intelligence into more tangible wealth, which I will grant you isn't straightforward. But that doesn't mean they aren't assets.

A house is like education in a way - it seems to have intrinsic value, you know what YOU paid for it, but the outcomes that can come from trying to sell it vary DRAMATICALLY depending on the how good you are at selling it (and the current market conditions). So it is with my bachelor's from UVa - there have been times where it has gotten me basically minimum wage work and times where it's gotten me $1000/hr jobs, all based on how clever I was about it.
A lot of the advice given to beginning game developers is exactly to put out a few generic arcade games at first. It's a great way to learn a stack and actually ship something, plus the end product is instantly recognizable, and the barrier to entry in terms of graphics can be quite low. Once you're comfortable in your output and skills, doing more original artistic work is a great next step, but many aspiring devs get hung up on doing something awesome and never finishing it at all. (I know, because I made the same mistake, despite knowing all this!)
I would support "perfect enforcement" if the laws were revised, at least with regard to highway speed.

Residential zones should be lowered to 20-25 MPH with traffic calming (which is far more effective than posted speed limits) and strictly enforced (e.g. 28 in 25 => ticket). 40/25 is actually much worse than 100/65 on the Interstate (in low traffic) although most people aren't aware of that.

Finally, speed limits should be dynamic. In non-residential areas, about +15 higher than they currently, but with a -10 to -20 modification for rain and even more for snow and ice.

Interstates should be raised to 80-90 MPH with points and insurance notification only happening if the officer can prove that the driver endangered others, such as by weaving, or exceeding the flow of traffic. (At +15 mph relative to average flow in the left lane, that would qualify.) Otherwise, the fine can stick but the points/insurance-hit vanish. 120 MPH on the highway, with the right car and a straight road, if there is no traffic on the road, is not that dangerous. It's still not worth it IMO-- I generally drive 75-80 when there is no traffic, because I don't see a point in high speed-- but the real danger is speed variance rather than raw speed.

Finally, people who drive in the left lane and are not passing should be ticketed (except when getting on or off a left exit). Lane inversion is dangerous. Passing on the right should generally be discouraged (but probably can't be outlawed given the number of slow cars in left lanes in the US). Warnings of left exits/entrances should be posted at least 3 miles out.

I feel like I must be in the minority here: I enjoy multiple (smaller, 28" max, sub-24" preferable) displays.

I run iTerm2 in full screen with Vim split alongside 2 or 3 console panes; I find the separation from the rest of my OS a blessing. The second screen I use for Chrome, HipChat, Flint, Sparrow etc; I still notice chat notifications, and to keep a eye on my dock (which displays all notification counts across my multiple programs) is a simple key combination if I'm in 'the zone' and don't wish to break out of my programming environment (iTerm2).

I've tried larger screens in the past, and found myself physically looking around the screen a lot more, simply due to having all my content splatted together.

Combine this with a keyboard-based window manager and the 1/2 - 1/4 screen segmenting and I feel much more organised and efficient than trying to manage a 30"+ monster of a screen.
I have come to terms with this - since most of the compatibility issues can be papered over nowadays, and there are viable alternatives - all I was hoping for was "write and debug once, give it a quick look in A-grade browsers, fix minor quirks", without the usual "...and then spend double the time fixing IE's idiosyncrasies."

Gulp has a lot in common with the venerable make(1) in its approach to building targets, but make is seemingly overlooked in certain circles. It's definitely worth checking out. I wrote something of an introduction to make with the setting of managing a JS app's codebase:

http://justinpoliey.com/articles/make-for-front-end-developm...

Make is old, but still pretty relevant. Maybe some peoples' avoidances come from the association with autotools and the complexities involved in building portable C programs. Using make to manage something like a front-end codebase, which doesn't suffer that family of complexity, is pretty straightforward and kinda enjoyable.

I've received two speeding tickets in my life. One was a speed trap where a road went from a 50 mph limit to a 30 mph limit, and there was always a cop waiting there. It wasn't, however, random: everyone duly slowed down to 35 except me who drove through at 55. In retrospect, the speed trap itself is justified. It was positioned where the road transitioned from unincorporated county to an incorporated city, and the city didn't want cars zooming through its Main Street at 55.

The other time I received a ticket, I was also driving way faster than traffic. In my experience, that's mostly when people get tickets--not randomly for exceeding the speed limit when everyone else is also speeding, but when they're going above the speed of traffic. I used to commute from Atlanta to the suburbs on I-85, where the speed limit was 55 but the speed of traffic was 75+, and I never got a ticket. My friend who did was going 80+ in a BMW M3.
And then people bitch and moan about Java's type erasure since the type when Java added generics. You can't have everything. Python 3 is not backwards compatible. Its adoption was bound to not be 90% in 1 year or so, especially for an already widely used and embedded system.

Python 3 is not a success, but it is a quite nice base for building the next 10 years of Python. And for this goal, Python 3 is probably on track.
Even if it's true, property millionaires are outliers who simply used lots of leverage to accumulate property during a massive credit fueled orgy of speculation.

They got lucky. Those conditions are not likely to return and the path is likely to be much more difficult for anyone trying to do the same today.

I don't admire property speculators such as Kiyosaki. Recklessness rather than brains led many people down this path, and then they were subsequently bailed out with taxpayers money and ZIRP when it all went wrong.

In addition, hoarding property is actually a massive net negative to society.

Cloact: Minimalistic React for ClojureScript
Ruby 1.9.1, the first "stable" release of the 1.9 series, was released back in January 2009.

So when 1.9.3 is EOLd in 2015, the 1.9 series will have been around for 6 whole years. Seems like quite a lot of time to me.

And of course, as others have pointed out, upgrading to 2.0 is fairly painless. Going from 2.0 to 2.1 should be even smoother.

> I don't really think [brand advertising] has anything to do with it. [...] Soft drink choices come down to availability most of the time.

Coca Coca spends about $3 billion a year on advertising. [1] I couldn't find a breakdown for how much is brand-building versus other goals, but I think we can agree it's a lot.

That suggests two hypotheses: A) People in charge of a $3 billion budget for an incredibly profitable and long-lived company know what they're doing, or B) An anonymous non-expert on the Internet has correctly realized that advertisers are just fooling themselves, and he (and everybody else) is above being manipulated by brand advertising.

No offense, but I'm going with A.

> MIT/BSD/ISC license also give you permission to do things that you couldn't do otherwise, but does so under fewer restrictions.

Somebody takes a BSD program, extends it, and distributes binaries. This restricts my ability to inspect, improve, or extend the code. Restrictions don't have to be written into a license. You ignore those implicit restrictions and their consequences, while complaining about explicit restrictions.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure you're not going to agree and just add another aggressive or insulting reply.
The takeaway from this article is that hoarding cash is not a good store of wealth, and that the key to long-term wealth is to acquire net income generating assets. Great points for sure, but I strongly disagree with his assertions that saving up for retirement is ill-advised and that traditional investments (stocks, etc.) are too volatile and risky to be useful.

He never explicitly gives any advice for acquiring net income generating assets, but reading between the lines (and given the context) the advice is to pursue entrepreneurship. While I strongly encourage people to pursue entrepreneurship when it makes sense for them to do so, I don't think it's a substitute for proper retirement planning and long-term investment as this article seems to suggest. And it's certainly not good retirement planning advice for anyone who doesn't already understand the basic differences between money, wealth, and assets as this article seems to imply.

Given the failure rate of entrepreneurs and start-ups on average, it seems quite strange to dismiss traditional retirement planning and long-term savings as too risky while encouraging entrepreneurship as the solution in the same article. Traditional retirement investment vehicles (low-overhead diversified ETFs with a mix of bonds, ratio depending on years until retirement, combined with taking advantage of tax-advantaged accounts such as 401Ks, IRAs, etc) isn't anywhere near as risky, especially over the long term. Remember, a single stock market crash in your 20s or 30s is going to have virtually no impact on your retirement savings in your 50s and 60s. When saving for retirement, you have to consider the timeframe involved. By the same token, risky entrepreneurship isn't all that risky when you're young.
Nice games. I like the simple visuals. Played game #2 for a bit. One specific comment: Holding "up" fires at the maximum rate (pressing up repeatedly doesn't fire any faster). Also, there is no downside to constantly holding up. So you probably should either (1) eliminate the up button and just auto-fire all the time, (2) have a fuel mechanic that will force the player to conserve shots, or (3) make it worthwhile to press up faster. And if doing so, move the fire button to space or something similar, because it is hard to repeatedly press up while moving with the side arrows.

Haskell's code is not far away from APL. Lots of Haskell code uses single letters instead of descriptive names. This makes it a lot harder to read and forces lengthy documentation:

reverse (PS x s l) = unsafeCreate l $ \p -> withForeignPtr x $ \f ->
c_reverse p (f `plusPtr` s) (fromIntegral l)

form http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/bytest...

People who write code like this should be banned. Code should be written in a way to be easily read by people, not a compiler. This is not a coincidence that there are 500 lines of documentation. This is how typical Haskell code looks like.
