I'm not sad because I miss being able to play my Game Gear all day anymore. I'm sad because even though I've come far, I constantly second guess myself. I very rarely feel like I can have deep, meaningful interactions with people.

I remember back in high school, I deleted my Myspace, because only like 3 people wanted to be on my buddy list. And one of them was Tom Anderson.

Now, I "know" a lot of people. Whether you measure it through Twitter followers, Facebook friends, or whatever the hell they call connections on LinkedIn, people are connected to me. I'm actually getting to the point where people even sidle up to me at conferences, trying to curry favor - to network. Everything's coming up Millhouse!

But lately, I feel an intense loneliness that I never felt when I was "abnormal".

What's also interesting is there seems to be a desire in the fanbase for Marvel Studios to have more control over Marvel properties. I get the impression from comments in reddit posts and Slashfilm (which might not be an accurate barometer of reality) that fans are chomping at the bit for Sony and Fox to lose the rights on X-Men and Spider-man, so that Marvel Studios can start making movies with them.
> That is a reductionistic view

Maybe, so what?

> like saying that everything is ultimately ones and zeros.

Well, except that saying everything is ultimately ones and zeros isn't (at least in this context) a useful starting point for explaining anything.

> The storage place in a dynamic language, such as a variable, or array element or whatever, is not understood to have a type in that language.

I'm not talking about storage places, I'm talking about the logical design -- a function (regardless of the features of the language) is designed to operate on some set of values and return a result from some set of values. These sets can ar the types I'm interested in -- whether they are implemented as (static) types in a language, or as tags / dynamic types, or whatever, or even if the language had no concepts of types at all (and, in most real languages, and can be true true even withHaskell, as in the head function on lists).

And to the extent that "heterogenous" collections are useful, they are useful specifically because they are not really heterogenous, even if the shared logical type to which the elements must belong is not coherently defined as a discrete "type" within the type system of the language.
It just came out this week which is probably why. :)
I read you saying it's quite complicated, but everything you said feels reasonably simple to me. Maybe I've been staring at these challenges for too long? Maybe in a few years everyone will feel it's reasonably simple? Or maybe not.

When you get a charge hold on your credit card, there is nothing you can do to satisfy it either aside from waiting for the charge to resolve. I'd like to think we're used to this reality.

Regarding needing to keep track of all unspent/spendable outputs, the Bitcoin client has been doing this since the beginning. If you go into your Bitcoin data directory, there are two sets of databases—the blockchain and all of the unspent outputs in the blockchain. These get updated with every mined block. Querying it is easy.

Regarding coloredcoins, the annotations live on the blockchain but the protocol (ie. how they're interpreted) lives in the client.

Part of the reason why multiple accounts are popular in crypto wallets is precisely for this scenario. You can keep your car-owning colored coins in one account, your spending change in another, your life's savings in more, etc. It's kind-of like having a Checking, Savings, Retirement, Investment, Mutual Fund, etc accounts in your bank.

You're absolutely right these all come with new challenges for us to work through, but I'm not having trouble imagining a rosy future where people aren't accidentally giving away rights to their cars and failing to meet rent because their savings are tied up in a complicated Script that is refusing to get resolved. We're not there today, but it's still early and many folks are working on all kinds of innovative wallets. :)
Even the cheats are impressive, though. Like, you have to think of them first... :)

That said, some people on lowendtalk swear by them and they usually are the first to complain about not getting 100% uptime on a $7 a year VPS.
This is a really bizarre comment. None of this is any sort of obstacle. Any unspent, in-limbo coins are easily conceived of as being "refundable". Someone who would get confused by the things you mention would also get confused by the concept of a rent deposit, a money-back guarantee, or a corporate stock.
I've been writing an algebra editor analogous to Vim/Emacs. Unlike English, maths is too slow to re-type while you perform algebra. Instead, insert expressions once then use keyboard shortcuts to edit and combine existing expressions.

It is interesting because it's the only algebra system in which the user actually performs the algebra. With practice, edits are as fast as maths on paper, but without all of the redundant re-writing. Similar to the sense of flow you get when programming with Vim, this leads to a sense of immersion in the maths.

Yes, and I know that. Better this than the other way around. Then again, from what I heard at least, the doctors didn't mention that it might not have to be that way and that I might be able to do all the things they said I couldn't. That time would have to tell.

> I'm sure your parents are thrilled with your progress and the fact that you exceeded the expectations of so many people. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you for saying that. Embarrassingly (but since this is a throwaway), reading that did make me spill a tear. Talking about it in this thread makes it negative; the way you put it makes it not all bad because I know my parents feel that way and I'm doing my best for them. Thank you.
Two fundamental arguments are being made in this thread: 1) some organization is responsible for limiting MDs and this is a bad thing, and 2) MDs need to be limited because there are not enough residency spots, hence students shouldn't be allowed to start on a path leading to 4 years of study and massive debt but not enough jobs.

I'd like to attack the counterpoint in #2, as I don't believe it to be in the spirit of free market economics. The argument basically presumes that if someone attains their medical education, they will have no career prospects except in those careers that already exist. Anyone with even a slight entrepreneurial bend must realize the ridiculousness of this. Ditto for anyone who understands the concept "creative destruction".

Imagine for a second a parallel universe without an artificial cap on medical students, where MD numbers overflow such that a bunch of MDs don't get residency positions. Is it impossible to imagine new institutions, businesses and services forming as a result? Another question then is how much innovation could we be missing out on?

There are some instances where artificial caps are a good idea. I don't believe education is one of them.
Great suggestions, thanks :)

I have 0 systems programming know how, so I don't even know anything outside of an irc bot to tackle.

I very rarely feel like I can have deep, meaningful interactions with people.

lately, I feel an intense loneliness that I never felt when I was "abnormal"

Anecdotally, as someone who was never diagnosed with any kind of autism, welcome to the club :)

Seriously, as best I can tell adulthood is like that for everyone. You can still find those deep meaningful interactions, but they aren't common and they are probably with special people you have a deep rapport with, rather than somebody you met thirty minutes ago. It was so much easier to "connect" with people when I was younger.

If I am to wax philosophical, I would bet that's related to the development of the "sense of self". Young kids don't have as strong of a concept of identity, so it's easier for them to connect with others.
Clever (YC S12) is hiring full-stack engineers to hack education in San Francisco

Steve Jobs described education as one of the final frontiers still untouched by modern technology. Clever (YC S12 - https://clever.com) is building the data platform needed for great software to make its way into the classroom. Just like Stripe has made it simple for developers to build payment processing into their apps, Clever has made it easy for developers to build applications for schools using student data.

We're a small, highly technical team with deep experience in education. In under two years, 1 in 7 schools in America has begun using our APIs, meaning that Clever moves data for eight million students every day.

Our newest project is essentially Facebook Connect for education: one identity to tie together all of a student’s learning applications into a cohesive experience. We’re making that happen with our Instant Login service, which allows students to log in once and immediately get access to all their apps: https://www.edsurge.com/n/2014-05-14-no-more-passwords-cleve...

And while we have all the startup perks (a beautiful loft office in SoMa, free lunch, unlimited Amazon credits for learning..) – hands down the best part of the job are the calls and emails from schools describing how much Clever helps them.

As an education company, we’re all about learning personally too – it’s practically a prerequisite to work here. In the past few weeks we’ve done tech talks on things like exoplanets, set theory, and kitesurfing. (We also love a good round of bughouse chess – just ask Magnus Carlsen http://screencast.com/t/xD7umWfo)

We’re looking for full-stack engineers who can hack in Node, Go, and Python (or are willing to learn), but more importantly, we’re looking for people who share our passion for improving education. If you’re interested, we’d love to hear from you.

https://clever.com/about/jobs

At Clever, we want to work with the best people - applicants of all backgrounds and beliefs are welcome to come improve education with us. We're committed to making our office a safe and comfortable environment for all employees.
SEEKING WORK - Remote (or Toronto)

I am a full-stack web developer and have been freelancing for a couple years now -- previously I was the CTO/cofounder of an acquired startup, and I have more than a decade of professional development experience under my belt.

I am looking for contract/freelance work and currently have ~20 hours per week of availability. I frequently work with US and other international companies (with site visits if necessary).

My preferred weapon of choice is Ruby on Rails and its associated stack -- I've been working with Rails for 8 years, so I know the entire stack and ecosystem backwards and forwards. I am also an instructor at a local major Ruby on Rails coding bootcamp.

Other alphabet soup: Coffeescript, jQuery, Heroku, AWS, Ubuntu, Vagrant, Bootstrap, etc.

@OP, it seems that @logicalmind has the exact opposite problem as you. You know, I could start a startup that is like "TradingPlaces", where you get to swap professions by getting first hand training from a master at his craft, maybe gaining access to each other's network and clients over time.

Except, to start a company I would need to be very business oriented, and I'm not (I'm product/sales/service oriented), and I'd need a business co-founder.

”Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”
I came to say something along these lines. I'm a severe traumatic brain injury patient, and as you might imagine, there have been a huge number of deficits. These ranged from (at first) linear and concrete thinking to (prolonged) poor planning and lack of social tact.

While brain injuries lie in a special place where you can change who you are, there is nothing wrong with living with a deficit. You go about life in a sane and rational way and deal with these deficits like anyone else.

That was the big aha moment for me. At first, I felt like there was something wrong with me and it had to be cured. Then one day I literally thought "I'm dealing with these issues like anyone would." That changed my view on the world; there was nothing wrong with me, just stuff I lived with.

"Beating" autism rings of the undertones of curing something wrong with you. While it's not desirable (at least for me. I haven't been exposed to the positives), there's nothing wrong with it.

I have a friend who is deaf; she had a bible-toting lady come up to her and say "God can cure you!" But she didn't even want to be cured. She's proud and grateful for her deafness.

Oh yes please. It makes no sense to bind a photo product with a social platform. I mean you can make them talk to each other, for sure, but for now it's more like photo won't function normally without G+.

For example, it's quite silly to have Google+ as the first item in navigation view on the Photo apps on Android. Whenever I want to see my photo, I want the photo features, not social features. I will only want to touch the Google+ when I want to share it, but it's not the thing I want to do all the times.
This is a neat article, but 'CDN' is such a broad term. This is much more a very well done proof of concept article, but fails to take into account the huge scope of a large scale CDN, and all associated quirks it comes with.

OK, but my point still stands since the vast majority of companies are not maintaining their own forks. In the rare situation where they need something special they'll rely on someone upstream, like your company, to fork it for them. Most companies that run into a bug in the core runtime will just workaround it.
