You may be right. However, posts from kickstarter.com make it obvious that this is a fundraiser, not an existing product. I think that's the most important piece of context and it's in readers' interests to have it be clear up front.
Disagree. There are certain games that you have to be 'good' at for it to be fun. My friends can't play Fifa. No matter how easy I am on them, or what team I pick, they just run around and shoot the ball every time. But they LOVE Hidden In Plain Sight. We have played it for hours.

There is no problem unless you use different versions of the sqlite library to open connections to the same db file at the same time. This is because different versions of the sqlite library may use different locking strategies. But if you just want to use a different version of sqlite with your own sqlite files in your app's sandbox, then that's just fine. You may need to do some symbol munging since the system's sqlite symbols will clash with your copy's symbols.

I think Modi knows that indulging in any mischief will (a) hurt business prospects and (b) make him look more of a fanatic in the eyes of the broader world. If anything I see him pushing for development to erase the legacy of the 2002 riots from memory. He said in the campaign - and this is true - 'toilets not temples', a reference to the building of a temple over the razed site of one of the oldest mosques in India from the 1500s or so. Also, he knows that if he's fomenting discord and doesn't get substantial anything done, the voters will throw him out with the same gusto as they did the Congress, for the very same reasons.

EDIT: Why the hell is this getting down voted? Can't the RSS Internet wing engage in reasoned debate?
A lot of data analysis, generating and printing out statements, research, using excel to analyze portfolio positions and build models etc.

There are various markets around the world that people trade in, and you are bound by the hours they are open -- unlike most coding activities. For example, someone where I worked had to stay up until 3am to participate in Japanese sovereign bond auctions.
I'm curious what particular claim you think Hofstadter is pushing that is unwarranted -- I don't see how a book of wandering musings could earn the label "pseudoscience" when it doesn't claim to be scientific in the first place (as far as I recall -- it's been about 15 years since I read it). It's a bunch of interesting ideas he ties together in clever ways.

The best I can come up with is that you're talking about his idea that self-reference lies at the heart of consciousness, which I think an intelligent reader can see is just a guess of his. Whether or not it's true, we can still see how it's useful to think of ant colonies as organisms, and we still learn about the incompleteness theorem, and we now understand what a fugue is and how it has textual and visual analogues, etc.

Maybe there's a group of people who treat GEB's claims differently than I do that I'm unaware of?
Couldn't you just compile your sqlite3 with private symbol visibility and statically link to that?
I've been prototyping some bindings to make Firebase work with RxJava / RxJS, since the model seems like a good fit.

If anyone has the time and inclination, I'd love some feedback.

RxJS: https://gist.github.com/gsoltis/ee20138502a4764650f2

Also, is ReactiveCocoa what most people would use to do this in ObjC? https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/Rx.ObjC doesn't seem particularly active.
Any SQLite problem was critical on Android because until 3.0/Honeycomb, corrupted databases (which could often be automatically repaired) were deleted if developers used the normal data access layer to attempt to open it!

TfA is pretty much a gimmick to pad resumes of business/law school applicants. Schools do not enjoy the TfA newbie teachers coming in, acting like they are saving the shool, and then disappearing after a couple of years.

TfA it serves a similar purpose as these 2-year finance jobs: resume padding for the next hop. TfA just has less salary.

Not trying to sound cute, but The Elements of Programming Style by Kernighan and Plaugher (1974). Just read this last week during a day of plane travel.

It's all PLI and Fortran, with lots of GOTO being harmful examples, but surprisingly much of it is still relevant. It's a quick read and interesting look at some of the problems they had back then (and some that we still create plenty of today).
Do you have numbers for the inflation as well?, which has more direct impact on the people than GDP. I know people were scandalized when onion prices increased 300-400% last year. For right/wrong reasons, congress got blamed for that.
I hate doing this to a new, exciting brand launch, but... it really looks like a pair of underwear (briefs) to me.
The problem with logos, for outsiders, is that if they're well designed, they just work...and it's hard to discern why without a frame of reference and comparison. So even a matter of fact description ("In the final version, we connected the individual triangles and unified the mark with color.") is really interesting to a typography/design-layperson like myself, so thanks for posting this!

(in the case of that last step, the reason for the change isn't fully described, but I imagine at least one person thought, like me, that the previous iteration looks like an angry bird looking right at you)

Also, here's what Watsi's original logo looked like, which they had to change because of an infringement claim by Blue Cross:

> Are there any other languages that allow the calling scope to specify how lower-level functions handle errors without unwinding the stack?

Any language with continuations can have it added as a library. Of course, not a lot of popular, non-Lisp languages these days have continuations... (Ruby kinda does -- it was a language-level feature in 1.8 but has been sidelined since as non-MRI implementations generally don't support them.)
I am not the asshole, buddy. The point is that people don't see cyclists. In my case, people would walk in front of me without looking, barely giving me time to swerve or break. Yes, cyclists should be careful not to hit people and should not blow through stops where there are people crossing. But cyclists don't exactly have it easy amongst aggressive cars and oblivious pedestrians.

A personal message from Co-founder Andrew Ng
That's just parroting of what newbies see others doing.

Back in the 90's I remember when people first started including dogs. Totally unheard of in business until that time.

As far as why (other than what I've stated) it's because it appeals to the people who are making the joke as something that they feel is cool and needed to fit in. Once again, because they see someone else doing it.

It's kind of similar to in radio the "wacky morning guy" shtick. Or even some stuff that Letterman tries to pull off. Comedy by contrast (the contrast being this isn't something you normally find in legacy established business).
Exactly my thoughts when I viewed it. But if you think about it, it is probably a enhanced "W" for Watsi.

(a) Yes, the author (me) does forget to mention that. Oops.

(b) Yes, it's true that there are plenty of uses cases which won't hit the problem. But for those that do, the consequences are pretty severe. And the distinction between those two classes of use cases is not obvious.
I didn't see it until you mentioned it, but now I can't unsee it.
I went to an Ivy League school that served as a large feeder for Teach for America. At least one year, Teach For America was the single largest employer of graduating seniors.

Unlike GP, I would say that at my school, TFA and I-banking attracted students with similar credentials, at least on paper (same majors - economics, poli sci, histories, etc.). I can't speak to their motiviations or if any students were considering both, but I will point out that TFA uses the same recruiting timetable as the investment banks and consulting firms, as well as many of the same recruiting strategies, so TFA does appear to view themselves as competing for the same pool of applicants to some degree.

I agree that TFA largely serves as a resume pad - some people do TFA because they want to teach in the long run, but many (I think the majority) view it as a "stepping stone" to law school or business school, and TFA certainly doesn't make any attempts to quell that belief with their recruiting.

TFA also has questionable results - here is one op-ed written by a former TFA fellow who explains some of the problems with the program[0].

Teach for America receives a lot of money from political groups and individuals who oppose unions, because (for better or for worse), they essentially undermine teacher unions in their districts and reduce their power.

Teach for America certainly started off with very nobles goals - they may still have the same goals today, but whether the actual net impact they are making is a positive one is less clear, and is a very political question.

I'm curious; have you read the linked article?

Because unlike what you stated, the removal of brown M&Ms doesn't have much to do with comforting the high-value stars, but more like a "flag" that Van Halen looks for in order to determine whether or not the stage crew has read the contract properly. If they did read the contract, the crew would have removed the brown M&Ms. If not, then there is a high likelihood that they have not read the contract, and not only did they not remove then brown M&Ms, but they also probably omitted crucial elements in the set-up, possibly to a point it can be life threatening if omitted.
Yes I'm surprised to learn that SQLite is relying on POSIX locks, they're basically impossible to use correctly -- by design. I wonder if things could be reengineered to use BSD locks (flock). I wonder if it's there for portability reasons.

This is a clear explanation of the differences https://lwn.net/Articles/586904/ -- TLDR as an app developer is avoid POSIX locks unless you grok the odd semantics. Also, better things are coming -- I believe that the new lock type mentioned in that article is getting merged for Linux 3.15.

They do have tremendous talent in data, UX, and ML; see, for instance, http://www.technologyreview.com/news/524716/unsubscribing-th... . The issue is the lack of "the newsroom's support." See, for instance, PDF page 34 about an experiment for Follow buttons that was never followed through, and PDF page 38 about how big projects don't incorporate marketing and rollout into their planning process. You can hire as many researchers as you want, but unless the institution is willing to support experimentation, in every possible sense of the word "support," your researchers will just be working with hypotheticals instead of actual data e.g. from your site's Follow buttons, and they'll end up being underutilized.

As for adding options to Go TLS, it is worth filing an issue for sure. Go 1 compatibility guarantee (and resulting standard library interface freeze) definitely restricts options here, but yeah I'll look into it.
I think this is a great idea and is exactly how capstone projects were generated for my entrepreneurship major.

A form was available for local businesses to request help for strategic planning. The owner would submit their proposed project and expected outcome. The professor gave students a survey to get a general idea of sectors and topics the students were interested in. He would take the survey results into account and select enough companies for every team to have 3-5 people.

A brief of each company was written with the general project scope and distributed to students. Students would rank the top 3 projects they wished to work on and were then assigned teams.

Mentors with experience in each businesses particular industry would be assigned to teams to provide expert opinion.

I think the problem would be the need to have projects that were "capstone level" if you intended to have computer science majors doing this. Apps, scheduling widgets and other technical projects may satisfy this but website creation or redesign would not.

A better avenue might be to work with coding bootcamps; as they would have mentors in place and are focused on more entry level websites and applications.

By "a different database connection", they mean a different file descriptor referring to the same database file.
Disclosure: MBTI has tons of issues and it's certainly not the end all for evaluations. There's a reason why HR folks aren't allowed to use it in most firms when recruiting. However, with that said, I think it's quite applicable in this case.

MBTI; NT vs SF. Find women that fall into the NT category and your problem is solved. This isn't an issue with gender as it is with certain individuals. Although looking at the numbers, you will encounter more women falling into SF and more men falling under NT. But, let me throw this out there, don't miss the chance to hire some great women simply because you've encountered some bad apples. You should simply tailor the initial screening phase to catch some of these unwanted behaviors. Additionally, you can employ the try before you buy option and remove bad apples within the first 90 days before they rot the tree.
We've accepted this crappy universal platform because it distributes software well.

“Wait”, I said, “So, I did thank you then?” – “Yes! But you did not elaborate on what exactly you liked about them! Why didn’t you?” She had bought them with the company credit card and I actually did not like them at all, but I digress.

I think this anonymous blogger should evaluate her hiring practices.

I have hired many women and men. If anything I have had fewer melodrama issues with women. The women I have hired are focused, analytical, meticulate and disciplined. I had exactly one so far leave for "soft" reasons; she wanted to pursue nonprofit work in a developing country and we remain on good terms.

In a manufacturing environment, I've had far more issues with gossip, melodrama and feuds with men. As I have brought more women in (not intentionally, but just because they were good candidates) many of those issues have disappeared and our production operations have become more upbeat with fewer personnel issues.

In general, I find a much higher incidence rate of irresponsibility among male production candidates: outstanding arrest warrants, inability to resolve past DUI offenses with the courts, domestic violence that spreads into the workplace, absenteeism, etc. -- all actual issues we have had to deal with.

Obviously not all male candidates are like this, and it would be wrong to draw the opposite conclusion. It is also fairly easy to weed these people out of the recruiting process, or, at worst, to part ways with them if we are not successful in catching it before hiring. But if you find you have hired a bunch of melodramatic and uncommitted women, you should probably ask yourself why your hiring processes selected people with those traits (hint: it is not because of their gender).
I read (not all of it, maybe 50% of it) "The art of multiprocessor programming" a couple of years ago and I agree, its an excellent book. I have a handful of books on the topic and I find this to be my favourite.

Wow, that was unexpected. I admire Ray Kurzweil but Andrew has always struck me as that rare sort of person who can both see the big picture and pick out the stepping stones to getting there.

I've worked for banks to 15 years or so, but always on the sales and trading side, rather than the investment banking side. In general, I like the industry. However, I've come to believe that the 90 hour analyst work week is hazing, pure and simple. It doesn't really matter what they're doing. Being a banker is a pretty plum job and it simply weeds out people who don't really want the job that badly. The other aspect is to gauge your personality & fit under adverse conditions, though the adverse conditions are artificial and arbitrary.

On trading desk the analyst/junior guys typically will work like 6:30 through 7:30, which is not that much more than anyone else. They will be required to get lunches, coffee and other assorted errands. Again, this too is a form of hazing.
