Prolog is a very different beast, in that it doesn't rely on any "thick" abstraction. It's based on resolution [1], thus the way code is executed is straightforward and unsurprising (providing you understand resolution first).

If you have never tried it out you should, maybe you will like declarative languages a little bit more afterwards.

False.

Management refers to the coordination of people, not the exercise of power. It is to coordinate the people towards a goal in conjunction with available resources in an efficient manner.

Example - A Project Manager has no power over the workstream leads other than to assign them tasks, resources and milestones in line with the vision of the Project Board.

Beware the ‘Edifice Complex’ – and 9 Other Ways to Damage a High-Growth Startup
I thought this article did a pretty good job of explaining things:

http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/14/sf-housing/

Yeah, there are plenty of people with legitimate gripes, but having grown up in a place with its fair share of them.... it seems there is a category of people who are just out there looking for something to get riled up about. And it seems quite wrong to target the people and companies when they're just doing what they do and happening to make money at it. If there's a housing problem, address that, no? They might as well shake their fists at the internet itself, because that is what's helping the companies make the money, with which they pay the people, who drive up the prices.
Same experience here. It is always a nightmare using it with everyone having to do weird things like go to every else's G+ page and click hi and weird stuff...
Spike Lee (better if you listen to him https://soundcloud.com/daily-intelligencer/spike-lee-on-gent...):

Let me just kill you right now, because there was some bullshit article in the New York Times saying ‘the good of gentrification.

Here’s the thing: I grew up here in Fort Greene. I grew up here in New York. It’s changed. And why does it take an influx of white New Yorkers in the south Bronx, in Harlem, in Bed Stuy, in Crown Heights for the facilities to get better? The garbage wasn’t picked up every motherfuckin’ day when I was living in 165 Washington Park. P.S. 20 was not good. P.S. 11. Rothschild 294. The police weren’t around. When you see white mothers pushing their babies in strollers, three o’clock in the morning on 125th Street, that must tell you something.

Then comes the motherfuckin’ Christopher Columbus Syndrome. You can’t discover this! We been here. You just can’t come and bogart. There were brothers playing motherfuckin’ African drums in Mount Morris Park for 40 years and now they can’t do it anymore because the new inhabitants said the drums are loud. My father’s a great jazz musician. He bought a house in nineteen-motherfuckin’-sixty-eight, and the motherfuckin’ people moved in last year and called the cops on my father. He’s not — he doesn’t even play electric bass! It’s acoustic! We bought the motherfuckin’ house in nineteen-sixty-motherfuckin’-eight and now you call the cops? In 2013? Get the fuck outta here!

Nah. You can’t do that. You can’t just come in the neighborhood and start bogarting and say, like you’re motherfuckin’ Columbus and kill off the Native Americans. Or what they do in Brazil, what they did to the indigenous people. You have to come with respect. There’s a code. There’s people.

Every time SF gentrification comes up on HN, it teaches me more about how the rich become detached from society and build their paranoid interpretations about how the lower classes see them.

If you want to own it, own it. Just take an attitude of "We're richer and pushing you out of the city, deal with it." Stop trying to rationalize it as something else, you'll just wind up in a state of cognitive dissonance where you make up assumptions about what the interplay between classes are and surprise surprise, it turns out the interpretation you made up because you're disconnected to the people outside your class doesn't sound that bad to you.

We know where we came from. For many of us, years growing up spent reading, tinkering, being maybe a little anti-social. A lot of us probably found a computer at a young age, and just felt a compulsion to learn how it worked. Now we're getting paid for it.

This comment is on a article that starts with the crunchies, I'll just repost what John Oliver said at the crunchies. It didn't connect then, I doubt it will work now:

"You already have all the money in the world. Why do you need awards after that? It is absolutely ridiculous. You’re no longer the underdogs, it’s very important that you realize that. You’re not the scrappy people that people get behind. It used to be that people who worked in the tech industry were emotional shut-ins who you could root for. Now those days are gone. You’re pissing off an entire city."

Yes, this is aimed at the people at the top of the tech companies, not you, the rank and file worker. But you're defending the guys at the top, aren't you? Your bank account may be smaller, but how are you externally different?

> Yes, the bad guys sit atop the tech industry. They're not the lifelong engineers who top out at $140,000 or even $225,000 per year. They're the VP/NTWTFK (Non-Technical Who-The-Fuck-Knows) para-dropped into companies by their corrupt VC buddies from MBA school. They're the moneymongers who think multiple liquidation preferences and participating preferred (technical jargon for "I've got the connections, so lick my taint, prole") are morally acceptable. Those are the bad guys. Not us.

I'm not an engineer. I don't do hands-on technical work (e.g. coding, syadmin, etc.). I have an MBA.

Are you saying that I'm one of the bad guys?

There's plenty of space for both, but in the US, regulation is entirely - or nearly so - in favor of one kind of system:

Less regulation would likely lead to diverse kinds of housing being available, and I'm sure there would still be plenty of suburbs.
The Hangouts UI is a disgrace to Google. I can't count the # of times I've tried to get even technical people to join a Hangout and it took an extra 5-10 minutes to sort out. Finding the initiation button is horribly hard, the UI is clumsy and unintuitive for those used to Skype or other video calling tools, and even inviting a new person to a hangout is maddeningly hard, particularly if they've got multiple Google IDs.
That's the great thing - it doesn't force you into any particular 'way'.

Me personally - I use pinboard to 'bookmark' things I want to buy, I use Pocket for things I want to read, and I used Feedly for the river.

How you mix that up is, and should be, up to you...

The real reason these things get so needlessly complex is to give developers job security. You become "irreplaceable" when you own a critical part of the codebase, and everyone else is too afraid to touch it because it has 12 layers of abstractions that nonsensically intermingle into spaghetti code

That's definitely an option, but it also makes you far more responsible for the company. It could also lead to co-founders feeling unimportant and less worthy. As with everything, treating things like adults and communicating about these things is a far more sustainable solution.

Another related language is Maude. It's a term-rewriting language, so for example we can implement arithmetic by defining symbols to represent numerals (eg. "zero" and "successor") and some rewrite rules which implement addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc. This is similar to languages like Pure, which lets us write code in a pure-functional style, but with the bonus that rewriting can avoid awkward recursion schemes (eg. "a + b" can recurse on both arguments at once). This makes it well-suited to implementing domain-specific languages.

However, Maude can go further than other rewrite languages since it is also a model checker: if A rewrites to B, we can supply A and get back B; or we can supply B and have Maude search for an A. If A and B are DSL terms, we can derive terms from their properties, as is being discussed here.

We can also have Maude show that some terms are unreachable, for example that there is no input which rewrites to an Error symbol.

Of course the advantage to Z3 is that it's hooked up to fast domain-specific solvers (SAT, SMT, arithmetic, etc.), whilst Maude's search is general-purpose and therefore slower.

Yes, it basically solves a SAT problem. But modern SAT solver are very very efficient. So although your worst case is exponential, in many cases heuristics will help find a solution very quickly. That's quite impressive; in fact, the motto "if you have a NP-hard problem just reduce it to SAT and throw a SAT solver on it" is becoming more and more common.
Thank you! How could anyone say that Hamas is not guilty of anything? As mentioned in a comment above: if Hamas stopped shooting rockets, I'd have a really hard time believing that Israel would not stop their assault, the government has said several times that they are simply responding to rocket fire.

The general default behaviour has always been to let an http server know where you're coming from so that it can take whatever actions appropriate. I don't see how or why there is a fundamental violation of some "browsing privacy" rule here.
In general, it's better to have the team work closely together in one office. If you want to bring in contract developers they should be reachable during the time when you work because you'll probably need to communicate very often. So, the timezone difference shouldn't be too large (USA - Europe is probably too much already, at least for your main developers). Later you might want to have a backup developer in a different time zone, so he can troubleshoot problems while you're sleeping. Also, when outsourcing it would be better to pick someone (or a team) with startup experience.

Yeah, anyone whose played KSP can attest to how hard flying blind in space is. There's no "hey I see him!" and going for it unless you want the maneuver to take an hour.

I think space combat in reality would be 99% dull, 1% mind blowing too fast to react insanity, because the firing windows would be so narrow before just being missiles fired back and forth, with point defences having ages to pick down the enemy munitions.

Realistically speaking. Lasers would lead to mirrored ships. Particle beams would likely lead to the magnetic shields proposed for protection against the solar wind. Explosives will be highly inefficient in a vacuum, so they'd only be implemented like in current bunker busters. So we're talking kinetic impact weapons.

I would say that people who sign up for Pinboard (+ pay ~$10) are much more likely to support a service that they like and rely on. Otherwise they would've chosen a free service like Diigo or Delicious to begin with.

English is not my first language, so I'm not sure. Does "makes $200K every year" mean net profit or just the income from which hosting still has to be subtracted from? If it's the latter, that means a lot more people are paying for archive.
