Define "hour". Hour in the classroom? Possibly. Assume a 12 week semester and 6 hours per week. Last time I taught a semester, I got about $5,000, so that is nominally $70 per hour.

However, that doesn't count time answering student questions. That doesn't count office hours. That doesn't count making up homework or tests and grading them.

For me, each class I teach is about 40 hours of work per week. If that is your number, then I got paid about $10 per hour. And I would have been better off at McDonalds as I would have gotten benefits for being full-time.

For those of us who like to teach, this is a Catch-22. It is good for students to have teachers who have been in industry--however, the pay is lousy relative to that same industry. At the same time, I would also be providing cheap labor to the university who should be paying someone a reasonable amount of money.

Your ideology is getting in the way of clear thinking. Good luck on your prediction on China's future prowess in the education of non-Chinese students. Lack of government regulation (and financing) is probably the opposite of the problem in the US (do you realize that most US colleges are run by state governments?).

Ideological blindness aside there is something wrong when education costs more and more but the instructors are paid less and less.
Maybe some people don't like following ambiguously-titled links only to discover old news masquerading as something new. Novel idea and totally ridiculous, I know. How could I have been so silly?

Furthermore, my logic is perfectly valid. Scientific research is time-sensitive by nature. If someone were to post an article hailing the discovery of Neptune, while interesting to someone who has been wholly ignorant of Neptune their entire life, it warrants a caveat noting that it's an outdated discovery.
And yet under your logic, you would reply: "There's no logical scenario under which someone would find this event notable, but be bummed out because it happened 168 years ago."

That's not really true. I was doing professional Java development in 2004. Nowadays we have things like Dropwizard and Play.

It sounds like Bray was intentionally trying to use just the Oracle-provided tools and libraries. If he wanted to do that he'd been better off with Play. That's a single distribution designed for exactly his use case: simple OOTB text editor scripting, no compilation, no deployment, lots of stuff built in, just go.

That was my first thought. It's not a good idea to water your plants at night, because without the sunlight and heat of the day the water doesn't evaporate as quickly. Water sitting on the leaves all night can cause fungus and such things to grow, which is bad for the plant. Since plants can't avoid being rained on at night, it seems logical that they would evolve a mechanism for staying as dry as possible.
Is it actually better for students that they can't default on their loans? I usually hear it the opposite way, that even after bankruptcy proceedings you still have your student loan debt following you around.
There's a bunch of relevant data in this paper, albeit from 2008 (starting on 21):
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2153122

Here's a summary of the conclusions

A recent study by two professors of economics attempts to arrive at the ideal ratio of tenured and tenure-track faculty to administrators in order to operate effectively. Analyzing data from 137 public universities from 1987 through 2008, they found that on average the ratio was two administrators to one full-time faculty member when the most cost-effective ratio is one administrator for every three full-time faculty members. They found that an imbalance between administrators and faculty where administrators outnumber faculty is what accounts for the rise in costs. Administrators and non-instructional staff have continued to rise despite less state funding. Furthermore, more part-time faculty are being hired at very low wages to offset the costs of administrators whose salaries tend to be much higher than faculty. Critics argue that the ratio should not be applied universally, as different types of universities have different needs when it comes to instructional vs. supervisory staff. But many agree that the goal of higher education is to focus on those who are in the classroom and not those pursuing an agenda of business development.

So our lack of regulation will leave us susceptible to... China's notorious lack of regulation and corruption? Most of China's "advantages" in the last decades have been thanks to e.g. their ability to pay slave labor wages (vs our minimum wage laws), their ability to have horrible work conditions (vs our regulations), etc etc. We may "lose" to China, but I assure you it won't be because we're less regulated of more capitalistic.

In my case it was hour in the classroom.

It did not account for answering questions by email, it did not account for grading them.

As I wrote below, if a teacher taught 8 hours of a class at 100$ / hr, he would be paid 800$, even if he has to spend 10 extra hours grading a student.

But to be honest they weren't giving that much homework, and only one test at the end of the class. I'd estimate for every 80 hours taught, there might have been only 10-15 extra hours. Which for 100$/hr or 300$/hr is worth it.

At my dayjob I'm productive for around 7,5 hours per day (I work 8 hours per day) which is incredible in my opinion. Then I put in some more freelancing hours when I get home, usually around 2 hours per day.

I'm very bad at being productive when I work from home though. I could never work 8 hours per day when there are no colleagues around.

> - A lot of papers end up in a lot of different official journals in some form. Publishing slightly varied versions of the same work across 3-4 different journals is a time honoured tradition.

Hm. Typically in CS these happens a different scales; e.g. a few papers with the same title (workshop, conference, perhaps another conference paper with a different application or an extension to the theory, ..., journal) but vastly different levels of detail/justification or significant extensions to theory/application. So same idea, but not the same paper and not presenting the same results.

Publishing the same exact results in multiple venues is, afaik, a form of academic dishonesty and a serious black mark. Hopefully it works the same way in other fields.

> - Actual journals do effectively the same thing that arXiv does, but theoretically with more 'experts' and rigour.

I'd remove the theoretically qualifier; getting into top venues in very difficult. Although I'm sure many worthy papers are rejected, the bar is still very high.

For your last three points, I'll cede to your knowledge on the matter.

Java supports Runnable JARs. This bundles all dependencies into the JAR so you can just run:

java -jar foobar.jar

And if it's a webapp, you can use something like Jersey so that the JAR itself if a webserver (launched from main function). And with Jersey+Grizzly you can make webapps that have zero XML config, btw.

Java's SSL handling is definitely annoying, though. But I think it's better than how other languages do it which is to simply bypass cert validation.

Also, I don't think it's fair to lump anything Android-related into complaints about Java. Google yoinked the Java syntax and the name and then added their own stack underneath.

My main pain point with Java is dependency management and builds. I don't like any of the systems out there. After years of Ant, Ivy, and Maven, I've just resigned myself to using Eclipse and downloading JARs manually, storing them with the code. It's ugly but not as ugly as Maven.
Sorry but I think your premise is flawed here. You can patent rules for board games (http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2011/12/22/patenting-board-games-1...) afterall they're just processes. It's copyright (which you linked to) which precludes getting protection over game rules.
bam, nailed that shit, especially the point about performance costs inherent in a feature set rather than in a language.

I just didn't want to continue a conversation with someone who thinks adjusting the age old "optimizations will eventually make it as fast" to be "compiling to C/C++ as an optimization will eventually make it as fast" was somehow going to magically make it come true.

It's the same old argument reskinned, and as you pointed out, the feature set has a lot to do with it.
I'm not tired of it at all. Programming ain't free, and if anyone could use some funding, it's them.

I mean, it's not like Apple's going out of their way to make Aqua work on non-OSX unixen, or systemd's going out of its way to work on non-Linux unixen. Just like how those rely on features of their host platforms, LibreSSL currently relies heavily on OpenBSD-specific security features in the kernel and userland, and it'll take quite a bit more effort to port that to other platforms in a secure and correct way.

Now granted, I'm an OpenBSD user, so my opinion on this is biased. However, it's the same opinion that many Linux-specific or BSD-specific or OSX-specific or Solaris-specific or Windows-specific or VMS-specific or MULTICS-specific or what-have-you-specific projects seem to already have: focus on your primary target(s), then help with porting efforts to secondary targets when it works well on the primaries.

It still often takes me 30+ minutes to set up the environment for a new language, but that's mostly spent doing some reading on how to set it up "right" vs. just executing an apt-get.

Most of which comes down to the fact that official documentation for first-time users is somewhere on the spectrum of nonexistent to crappy. Many languages have pretty good tools for managing virtual environments and dependencies and such these days, but odds are that a new user won't find out about them for quite some time unless they know to go looking.

That's what I'm arguing though. I think its way less than 90/10. 50/50 at most. Its not just a performance thing. Polymorphism moves the burden of reasoning about types from compile time to run time, and complicates the programmers mental model of the code. Sure, the use of interfaces appears to separate out the differences between types into clean capsules, but in practice understanding much of the polymorphic code ive worked on still requires a mental process of "OK, if it's THIS type then this happens; if its THAT type then something else happens." And then look at dynamic languages where loads of unit tests do the work of the type system. I'm not saying its never useful but its usefulness is over hyped. Many of these cases can be replaced by small localized changes at compile time or a one time cost of copying data into a canonical form.
Summary: This is a 10-page white paper on how one video duplication program (DVD-Ranger) removes the current 6-th generation BluRay copy protection scheme "Cinavia" using a technique they call "CinEx". It also offers a short summary of the previous 5-generations of DVD and BluRay protection schemes work. Even if you haven't heard of DVD-Ranger (I hadn't) it's a good read if you are interested in the mechanics of DRM for audio and video.
First, when you part ways the machine returns to the employer. Depending on how suddenly it happens you may completely lose whatever personal items you had there.

Second, if there is any conflict and you've used --say-- your personal email to discuss what's happening, they can access it and/or use it against you.

Finally, if you have any personal side-projects they can justifiably lay claim to it because you're using their property for what you may have considered your "non-work" activities.
what, exactly, is better than lectures and exams?
While I'm not a fan of most software patents, I don't agree with this statement, except in the most pedantic sense: 'The problem is that "software" and "mathematical algorithm" are two terms for the same thing.'

You could say that anything at its root is simply a mathematical algorithm. These days it is possible to do a great many specialized tasks with either dedicated hardware, or software running on general purpose hardware. Should you be able to patent an asic design, but not a piece of software that does exactly the same job? Should incredibly complex and novel pieces of software not be eligible for patents simply because they're made out of 1s and 0s instead of nuts and bolts? Doesn't make sense to me.

What does make sense to me is to reform the entire patent system, in many cases drastically increasing the threshold for what is considered novel and non-obvious, and decreasing - again sometimes drastically - the time periods of monopolies offered. I don't, however, believe that this is solely an issue of software vs. not-software.
I agree with you, the point of my post was to try and get him to see the ridiculousness of it by simply reversing it.
It is bad for performance that Java doesn't have structs, but, you can work around this somewhat using byte buffers:

Research is typically a profit center for the university. The standard cut (known as "overhead" in the biz) is 30% of research grants. Capital equipment (typically defined as stuff costing more than X dollars) is taxed at a lower rate (usually 10%). Research assistantships are also charged 30%. Also, any modification to lab facilities (electrical or carpentry for example) is usually required to be performed by university staff at a cost (to the grant) of around 2 to 3 times union rates.

> Our education system is propped up chiefly because of government.

Obviously not propped enough if this professor died in poverty and students need 6 figure loans to graduate.

> Most of the US goes to public schools, controlled by the government.

As opposed to what? Controlled by Coca-Cola? Starbucks? -- "Do you have a degree?" -- "I sure do, I graduated with MS in coffee arts (MsCA) from Starbucks University, Phoenix". Or just got a "PhD in applied lobbying from Lockheed".

> Students get ridiculous loans they can't default on, courtesy of the government.

The problem is not to just stop giving loans, but let people go to universities without needing loans. If Universities are public, they should admit based on merit. And instead of cycling money through govt to student to university, just subsidize the university and make sure it doesn't spend money on admin assistants, triple layers of bureaucracy, new gyms with lazy rivers and other crap that is not needed. Maybe if it is too hard, just increase % of admitted students based on merit, some that couldn't quite make it and are rich perhaps could buy their way in.

> maybe regulation and government caused the problem in the first place.

Can you point to an example of an attested and well functioning higher learning system not regulated and propped by a government?
F5 load balances are a good example, where they reject TLS packets between 256 and 511 bytes in length, requiring user libraries to pad packets in that range to longer lengths.
Common Core was one standard that states could adopt, and they could also develop their own, that would satisfy requirements to gain additional funding. Essentially, the Feds said: Improve your curricula because what's out there sucks, if you do, we'll give you a bonus.

Texas and others developed their own standards, for example.

Android already uses the OpenBSD libc (IIRC), so it's not inconceivable that they'll eventually do the same thing with libssl and switch to the OpenBSD implementation.

What's great about this, though, is that Google's contributions are potentially helpful in LibreSSL's eventual cross-platform porting efforts; their willingness to adopt the ISC license for their contributions is already a promising sign of that collaborative potential.

Under current FAA regulation 14 CFR 61.113 private pilots
can’t accept payment for taking passengers on previously
unscheduled flights.

The way Flytenow works around this is getting passengers
to pay them and not the pilots. Pilots do receive money
for the flight, but it’s simply for splitting the cost of
gas and maintenance on a flight the pilot was already
going to take anyway. Think of it like getting a ride with
someone and paying some gas for the lift.

The FAA are going to crush them. This is obviously, obviously!, flight for hire. This spits in the eye of the spirit of the law. Even if the FAA decides not to do its job, the first fatal accident will end the company.
