They should have waited 3-4 years to see if he would actually accomplish something beyond getting elected. I'm not saying he didn't accomplish anything, but traditionally a great honor is bestowed for achievements past, not potential achievements.
Kinda, but I think it was really obvious that he'd be nominated. There's hundreds of nominations every year; Manning has been nominated repeatedly times, Assange has been nominated. Now Snowden's in the news; what were the odds some politician somewhere wouldn't take the opportunity to get some easy headlines by nominating Snowden? I can't imagine him not getting a few nominations. :)
This posts reeks of cisgender privilege [0]. Gender is a social construct, not a biological inevitability, and it is disrespectful to refer to someone as a gender that they have explicitly stated they do not identify with.

I'll let you fill in the comparisons to widespread sexism, racism, and homophobia for yourself. Go back to the leaders of the American civil rights movement and tell them to let things "percolate through society" so they can know "where to draw reasonable lines".

Speaking as someone who has done a little hiring (i.e. authorized to hire two more people for my team at BigCorp) the answer is "All of them".

I'm not being facetious, I seriously mean that.

The skilled people you want are a scarce resource in a world of high demand. The recruiters shotgun anyone whose resume buzzword-matches at least 25% of the job posting. It just sucks.

Imho, your best bet is to develop relationships with the sorts of people you wish you could hire and offer them something interesting when you hear they're considering a move.
As someone who also writes production code in Scala on a daily basis, and who took exception to the idea that the Scala collections library was a good example of type programming, Paul Phillips' concerns are spot on.

If you are using the collections library as example of how to structure your own code, you are in for a bad time. The abstractions are not right, and things like the silly ParSeqViewLike trait are an expression of that.
Heh, I was just playing with a quarter the other day and, with some practice, I was able to learn how to get the rotation and timing right so it was heads nearly every time. With practice, I'm sure someone could purposely get heads 76+ times in a row, but I imagine that wasn't the point of the article since I only skimmed it.
Are they contradictory? There are plenty of criminals I like personally who deserve to serve time for breaking the law.

I say that it's not enforceable because:

- There has to be a meeting of the minds for a contract. If a contract is tipped too far to one side, it can be said that there is no consideration. In this example, if the employee is only getting what could be considered standard market rate for their employment as a software developer, the idea that all future work in software development (even past the term of employment) will belong to the company is absurd. The company is basically saying, "after you work for us, you are no longer allowed to work for anyone else as a software developer, ever."

- It may not be possible to grant copyright over all past work because it may be owned by a previous employer.

> It seems reasonable to me that this person, having XY chromosomes and all the hardware that go with them, may be correctly referred to using masculine pronouns.

Gender != your chromosomes and gender != your "hardware" or any other body part for that matter. Gender is about social identity and structure.

> There's something to be said for respecting the wishes of the individual in how they'd like to be addressed. But there's definitely a point at which that drifts off into absurdity. Just because I can claim descent from Henry VIII doesn't mean that I can reasonably expect people to address me as "lord".

Laying claim to a royal lineage is not the same as having a gender. Also, lord is a title and we are talking about pronouns, things used when talking about anyone.

> So I'm interested in respecting people, but think we need to let this percolate through society first, and determine where to draw reasonable lines, before you accuse someone of disrespect for failing to honor someone's alternate world view.

We already know where to draw reasonable lines: Manning has already publicly stated her gender. You have disrespected this person by misgendering them. Manning's world view is not an "alternate" world view and you are being incredibly transphobic.

My immediate assumption was this is not the US is trying to restrict education.

I suspect this was triggered by Coursera accepting money. The US has laws against doing business with certain countries. When Coursera started offering signature track classes where they charged money they are now doing business with restricted regimes.

I have been surprised that there is no discussion of your initial point, that there are very rational reasons why a state might want to control access to educational material. Sure maybe offering people will lead to greater humanity ... or maybe it will lead to terrorists who can build sophisticated drone bombs. I don't know but I'm surprised it not a more prominent issue.
I can see how it might be useful... but the learning curve has to be immense. There's video of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rzFqEqzhmA
> Also, I'd like to see your source for the statement that they are making money

This was clearly mentioned by Sony before the launch of the console. As for the Xboxone, Microsoft also mentioned that if someone buys one game with the system, they are already making a profit overall. They are NOT selling their systems cheap compared to the previous generations, in terms of what's inside the box. I'll have to find the quotes, but I'm sure you can find them as well if you have 5 minutes.
How are they either?
Fish are not interlocking pieces that connect together to form larger objects.
As of right now, they're just concatenated and minified into one file. This made more sense earlier in the project, and now I'm looking into other options, including Require.
I also agree with all of that. Scala is an ugly incomplete attempt at replicating Haskell on the JVM that fails at being Haskell, and also fails at being Java, it's the worst of both worlds. On a semi-related note have you taken a look at Ceylon? I found out about the language a few months back and I really like it. It isn't Haskell by any means, but for a JVM based language it's one of the most Haskell-ish feeling languages I've found. The type system in particular reminds me a lot of the Haskell type system.
> The more similar you are, the fewer incompatible goals you have.

This isn't true. The more similar you are, the more incompatible goals you'll have; your culture informs your goals. Anything which is diminished in quantity when someone else partakes of it is a source of conflict, and the conflict will be greater the more people want it. Incompatible goals decrease with distance; I can honestly say that I don't care at all how various African warlords divvy things up among themselves. And though I have opinions on what public art should look like where I live, I'm happy to let people far away put up whatever weird monuments they like. There is more conflict between San Francisco workers and San Francisco poor than there is between either and anyone in Dubai.

Individuals fight over things they can't share. Demographic groups do the same. Israel isn't likely to challenge the US for Susan. But if Israel wants to see the West Bank populated by Jews, and the US wants to see it populated by Arabs, they can't both win. And if the US wants to host the world financial capital, and England is so culturally alike that it also wants to host the world financial capital, they'll fight.

> The games at launch are always notoriously not representative of the full capabilities of the console

Sorry but let me call BS on this one. We're not talking about PS3 kind of hardware here, where the architecture was unknown and new and developers had to learn a lot. The PS4 and Xboxone are using basically PC hardware under the hood, and the learning curve should be close to zero for most developers involved.

I am not implying that financial markets are not international. Quite the contrary -- you'll note the parent comment referred to Iceland and the UK -- international.

The parent comment offered a simplifying model, that explained fairly clearly that the government Iceland treated classes of bank creditors(i.e. depositors) differently, and thus it was not fully correct to say either that they were bailed out, or they were let to fail. It all depended on where you sat.

Your comment offered no further elucidation, no further relevant information and strained the analogy past the breaking point.

Credit is built on trust (credo = I believe); derivatives are built on contracts.
I don't purport to be an expert on either of these cases, but my impression as a casual observer was that Mannings leak was just a massive dump of classified documents without any attempt to be selective about which information needed to come to light.

Any sizable dump of classified documents is likely to have some damning pieces in there but that doesn't necessarily justify blindly leaking massive amounts of documents. I think Manning would have gotten a more favorable response by more people if he had been just a bit selective in what he leaked.

Again, I don't have deep knowledge on either of these cases compared to some around here so I'll concede that maybe I'm wrong on some of my facts...?

ANd that's just a third party evaluation, I have no doubt Sony gets way better hardware price deals when ordering millions of parts through their purchasing contracts, so of course they are making some kind of profit on each PS4 sold. They actually want to avoid what put them in the red with the PS3 sales.

This is exactly what we do, and it's worked really well. Of course, we're doing Agile, which I think helps this process.

But if I have a good candidate that has attention to detail, knowledge of basic concepts, etc. but doesn't know our language of choice, I'm confident we can teach him our language. Especially if he has already learned similar languages. Even if he hasn't, we've hired people with almost no experience as programmers but that have the ability to absorb knowledge and have a passion for wanting to be a programmer.

Then, we've also had applicants that could "talk the talk" and had experience, but ended up being terrible programmers because they lacked attention to detail, or didn't want to be bothered with writing unit tests, or whatever.

Obviously, I'd much rather have someone that I could train with good habits than someone who has experience with bad habits.
I generally agree with the caveat that you have in-house experts in the language and toolchain (or can afford to grow some). You may also need some experience in the applying that language to your domain, depending on how challenging the problem is.

Amazing PR by Nintendo:

"Nintendo only ever utilizes technological protection measures which are both necessary and proportionate to prevent widespread piracy of its intellectual property"

Naturally, it has nothing to do with the desire to sell gaming systems at a loss and profit from fees paid by video game authors.
Look at it another way: If you flip a coin 76 times, you generate a permutation, but 2^76 is such a large number that your permutation is likely unique. You can take any 76-coin sequence and say that it's mathematically likely that nobody in history has ever flipped it.

Cards work similarly. Every properly shuffled deck of cards is likely a unique permutation that has never before been seen across the entire history of people shuffling cards.
There's another option besides mixins and base classes, composition. You can break your fat model into lots of smaller classes that you aggregate into your original model. The big advantage over using mixins is that the scope is kept much smaller. Keeping scopes small in general is always a good way to scale up to a large codebase (functional languages get this pretty much for free).

> The nvidia GTX770, undoubtedly a higher performance card, not only costs almost as much as a PS4, alone it consumes significantly more power than the PS4.

I don't care if it costs more. It's available. Hardware better than the PS4 in consoles is NOT. That's the whole point. If I want to have better hardware than the PS4, I'll have to wait another 10 years for another console cycle to come. No way. In 2 years time the PS4 and XBoxone will be extremely weak even compared with low-end PC gaming rigs.

And you bet I'll want a high performing card (no matter what it costs) when the VR headsets come around (whether Occulus Rift or Valve).
I read the actual page as "Please tell us why you're prejudiced against hiring Graduate Developers and give us your email address so we can name and shame you/your company."
True, but I've seen lots of crummy in-house "custom libraries, obscure frameworks, legacy code, [and] tooling" that would have been better if they had been written by veterans of the target language. Or better yet, the veteran would know how to apply an off-the-shelf technology to solve the same problem.

Having other confused people agree with you does not make it true. You believe in a caricature regarding both countries.
We're currently trying to hire one or two people in Aalborg, Denmark. Getting anyone with skills beyond C# or Java for a smallish company is next to impossible. We're looking for Python and/or Javascript skills, preferably working knowledge of Unix. We've gotten may one real application, it's strikes me as a bit strange, I would have loved to have had open positions like ours when I graduated.

An open position in bookkeeping or warehousing however will get us 300+ applications. Skilled software developer ( and yes you can be newly graduated ) will get us nothing.

So yes, I would agree with: "All of them", there aren't enough people to go around currently.
Just to clarify (because the comments here are suggesting that a lockbox does what I'm asking for) - a lockbox does not address the issue for me. Lockboxes are never all that local and they don't carry heavy things home for you.

I literally want Amazon to go directly into my home and leave the goods in there. I want to order groceries on my phone and find them in my flat. Frozen items don't matter - I won't order them, it doesn't matter if they sit for a while. I want to leave a return package in my hallway and have it taken back by someone who collects it.

I know that this sounds entitled but I also know that Amazon's already got the chops to support this and that if they did I would buy a lot more from them (like maybe £50/week more from them). Combined with Prime it would mean I would never want to order from any other merchant either.
Understand if you can't discuss but my inference was that this was triggered by Coursera accepting money for their classes.

Exactly. I can get a guy up to speed with C# in a matter of hours. The problem comes up when we've got to deal with issues in IIS, Entity Framework, ASP.Net MVC, etc. etc.

Most commodity programming languages are simple. Either they feel kinda like Javascript, or they feel kinda like Java. Obviously there are a few shops out there doing elaborate stuff with Clojure and they have a higher bar, but probably 95% of the work out there is being done with "typical statically-typed VM-based language" or "typical dynamically-typed language".
I doubt that the $50k offer was serious. Probably some feeble attempt to scam the guy or something.
