> the tweeter could have a uncle who is involved in vatican politics and the tweeter read some of his uncle's notes

That wouldn't explain knowing about the name. Of course it is possible that someone would have guessed at possible names for a pope. Since the name is inspired from the name of Francis of Assisi, it is not inconceivable, so a search would still not be proof.

But the name "Pope Francis" did not exist until Jorge Mario Bergoglio was chosen as pope. Pope Francis has stated that he himself got to think about the name based on an encounter with another cardinal during the conclave. The other cardinal had whispered to him "don't forget the poor" when it was becoming clear that he was being elected. Unless he is lying about how he selected the name, one could thus assume that knowledge of the name prior to the start of the conclave would indicate time travel.

This is one of the reasons the name is a good thing to search for; as is the asteroid name. In both cases we have pretty solid knowledge of a cutoff before which the name was not known because it did not yet exist.

(Of course, the incidence of "pope Francis" in a search would not in and of itself be conclusive proof of prior knowledge.)

The stock market, on the other hand is a bad one because it is so simple to fool: Yes, markets checks for odd large investments right before major announcements. But there's no point in doing that, and the issue of checks for insider trading might deter a time traveler. If you know how the stock market will perform in detail far in advance, though, rather than sit on a single tip about some deal, you can do amazingly well by moving sufficiently small amounts into each of a bunch of shares sufficiently long in advance that it'd be just noise.

I'd almost assume the company owns all the equipment. You'll be expected to ship it back with them covering cost of shipping unless your reach some kind of agreement. Maybe they won't want to pay for freight shipping on a desk and chair and tell you to just keep it if you leave on good terms. But you shouldn't expect it to be yours. While probably not a good negotiation topic (there's more pressing ones like pay and vacation), it's something you could inquire about or negotiate in the discussions.

I think Amazon is slowly taking a very significant place in this market that previously was dominated by Apple. I myself now have 2 Kindles at home, and a fire TV. Would definitely give the phone a try if my IPhone wasn't new. And he's doing it without buzz..
I'm sure there is a small market for this.

But, I think that most people do not want to buy a counterfeit on eBay. Ioffer provides much lower prices on fakes, oftentimes direct from China. For instance, on eBay, the average fake Chanel le boy still sells for over $1500, and a Celine mini luggage will sell for around $1400. There is no way that people are paying this kind of money knowingly for a counterfeit.

There are very few counterfeits that are 99.9% accurate. Most of the time I can spot a fake dress or bag on someone from <5 feet away. But, then again, I'm very familiar in this space.

The latter two, yes. Operator overloading is a loaded gun and you need to make sure you aim carefully. And Array identity and mutability semantics are just straight-up broken. But type inference tends to be good for readability in my experience, and trailing closures seem clear enough that I don't see how they have any more potential for abuse than anything else.

Well actually, a party in the UK which has been gaining traction recently, for all the wrong reasons, might want this as well. UKIP. They want a Swiss-style direct democracy where all counties within the UK become 'states' or 'cantons'. Regardless of your stance of UKIPs immigration policy, I'm very much looking forward to them implementing this, if they did win the upcoming elections.

edit: However, they have terrible nationalistic policies such as "Teach children positive messages and pride in their country. We want to unite through better integration".
If you doubled the number of transistors in the same space then wouldn't that nearly double(quadruple) the heat output? How would someone even keep these things at a reasonable temperature at 7nm?
Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've never seen operator overloading abused, and I've written my fair share of C++. Bad developers usually don't learn about these things in the first place, they just spew mountains of poorly-abstracted code.

Ruby lets you do far worse things if you dig deep enough, but nobody ever complains about that.

In terms of time management- a solid idea to consider from David Maister, split the day into 3 categories:

1)Income Time (serving clients)

2)Investment Time (creating ones future)

3)Individual Time (everything else)

The essence of this approach is to start treating your investment time as serious as income time. This will significantly affect your future success-- and lifestyle.

Language design has to balance expressiveness with maintainability, and there is absolutely no question that some additions lean far more to the former than the latter.

Operator overloading, as mentioned, is something that seems fantastic when you're banging out a bunch of code. When you return to that code a month later, however, with no context, it leads to mystery code with completely undefined behavior without tracing back through every constituent. We constantly see people make the (unsupported) claim that scientific coding simply needs operator overloading, and while I can't speak specifically to that industry, in the financial industry operator overloading is how you end up with terrible, mystery-meat code.
It is indeed problematic. You don't have to use your full name though (usernames-only are allowed too). Thanks!

This was exactly what I was thinking too. In a weird way, eBay is competing with itself. There have always been companies where you can drop/ship your stuff off at and have them list it for you.

I wonder how Firefly is going to work out.

The low rate of success achieved to date would be my first clue. I try to avoid the trap of letting today's glittering promises of future success distract from the fact that yesterday's glittering promises of future success' dates have actually come and gone (and come and gone and come and gone again).

Cards-on-the-table, my definition of success is full-on commercially-viable fusion, because little else justifies the enormous investments made into this technology. Any other "incidental" benefit you might want to cite, such as "better understanding of plasma physics", could probably have been obtained for orders of magnitude (plural and no exaggeration) less money.

(I also try to avoid the trap of seeing the word "science" and just shutting off my brain and throwing money at the problem because "SCIENCE!". Nonsense. Science is not immune to cost/benefit analysis just because it's shiny, and cost/benefit analysis is always probabilistic so yes, it can perfectly well deal with uncertainties of discovery too. See my previous comment about the value of keeping some cheap longshots in the portfolio. Just think, what other science could we have done with the billions of dollars it has consumed?)
I think it's much more likely that Amazon chose this price so that users didn't think it was a piece of junk.

Users are used to paying 600 for a phone. A 100 dollar Android phone works like shit. Add to that, if they priced it well below market value, then third parties would come in, buy up all the phones and stick them on ebay.

IIRC the models of computation with pure states and mixed states are equivalent in power and efficiency (perhaps up to a polynomial blowup). In fact, you don't even need complex numbers. This is probably Lipton's mindset, seeing as he's a theorist.
Interestin mostly focuses on user-generated opinion articles and the conversations grow around those articles (in the form of comments and response articles). I think it offers a less-artificial, more natural way of conversing.
Unfortunately, this "correction" itself isn't quite correct. "Availability" in CAP doesn't require that all nodes remain up (point 1b) but only that all non failing nodes remain up. The article also fails to provide even a minimal definition of consistency, but those definitions are critical to understanding what Gilbert and Lynch actually managed to prove. Without that, I think this fails Einstein's test.

Seems like a big whine. Every time I read one of these, I see a few good points, but then I think to myself "I wonder what they are programming in".

I then wonder how long it will be before they get upset about some feature they consider to be inelegant and try to find the next fad or old language they had previously discarded.

I really wish people would stop doing this. They like to tear down, without really building anything! It's sort of a whinge to tear things down without really understanding why certain concepts or ideas were invented. Kind of lame.
I find this stuff fascinating. I would love to study this formally but I only have a finance degree. What do people study to pursue this at a graduate level? Math/Comp Science?
The Amazon brand is all over the place for me.

Great products: Kindle, Fire TV.

Cheap product: Kindle Fire.

Costly product: Fire Phone.

I guess when I see a phone like this with a big Amazon logo on the back: http://a.abcnews.com/images/Business/HT_bgr_amazon_smartphon... I assume it's like a Kindle Fire in that it's a cheap option, but it's not at all, which is confusing. Does Bezos want to make the Amazon brand more valuable? Will consumers really view this device as a peer to the iPhone 5s/6 and Galaxy S5?

I guess I'm a little unclear on why anyone would bother engaging with shanley in the first place. Her twitter feed, while frequently entertaining, screams "professional bullshitter" pretty loudly. It's reasonable to assume that her primary motive is to drive traffic to her website. I suppose it's also possible that she's just a truly damaged person -- or maybe some combination of both.

Either way, it seems like there are better ways to expend your energies. In the end, outside her relatively small circle of fellow cottage-industrialist diversity activists, shanley is a pretty insignificant presence in the wider world of tech and likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.

It's a small thing but I think let/var deserved a mention too (my C code is littered with const everywhere).
This fear should be reserved for language features which effectively require cryptic code to be useful. For example, Perl's large family of built-in variables with bizarre symbols for names, or the proliferation of redundant and nested template types for things like iterators in C++ before C++11 added type inference.

For features which just allow cryptic code, it's basically the fear that you won't be able to resist it, or that other people won't. People who want to write cryptic code will figure out how to do it no matter what language they use and what features it has. The solution is to either educate them or not work with their code, not try to restrict languages in a vain attempt to make it impossible to write bad code in them.

Trailing closures turn out to be magic when creating APIs and mini-DSLs. That slight reduction of friction that unifies regular language syntax with user-defined functions is often the difference between a high usable extension and a kludge.
I can certainly understand how that sentiment arose back in the dark ages of early operator-overloading abuse.

I'm starting to wonder, however, whether the horror stories are continuing to propagate long after anyone has seen a real, living monster.

If I'm browsing someone else's code today in a modern development environment and I encounter a function I don't know it's generally pretty easy to navigate to the definition (if it's in the codebase) or documentation (if it's not).

If operator overloading is just a function with a name that happens to be a string of symbols and with infix application at the call site, can't I find out about it just as easily?

What's the difference between

myMysteryFunction(a,b)

and

a + b
