It is extremely good to have this kind of project.

There are not many places when you can have a look at how real apps (ie apps that are not trivial and deployed to real users) are architectured.

For this kind of real project with some scale, yes you are going to have a couple of libraries, a wear app and some flavors.

In general, anything that encourages people to drive their own cars in cities makes traffic worse. Blocking roads can improve traffic but annoys people.

Congestion taxes, higher parking fees, improved or cheaper public transport can all make traffic better, but the first two will annoy people.
In those studies that show removing a lane can improve traffic flow or adding a lane can worsen traffic, that is only true of particular lanes/roads in different areas. In fact, it is more than likely that removing any one lane from any road is more likely to worsen traffic than it is to improve it.

It is entirely dependent on the network patterns of the traffic flow itself, not the roads.

Here is a list of the largest majority employee-owned companies in the USA: http://www.nceo.org/articles/employee-ownership-100.

That is companies that are >50% employee owned.

Companies marked with an asterisk are 100% employee-owned.

The biggest 100% employee-owned company is Lifetouch Photography in MN with 25,000 employees.

But Co-ops and employee owned companies are not the same thing.

I have worked for several small co-ops that used consensus decision making. While it is true that everyone has an equal voice the tendency is to listen more to people with more experience or expertise in the particular area being discussed. Also, there is a lot of delegation that happens where subgroups are formed so not everyone is deciding what type of toilet paper to buy or how exactly we should implement some minor detail. That being said sometimes random people come up with the best ideas, so it was helpful to have them involved.

I found consensus decision making to be a lengthy process but a rewarding one.

But how does this apply to coops and unions - it gets a bit more complex where all the workers own the company what role does the union have?
ADBOC. This is like the efficient market hypothesis, the strong version is wrong and the weak version is so weak as to be almost tautological. In a perfect market the most economically efficient organisation would win, end of story. What we've got isn't that but it's an approximation thereof. The closer it gets to fulfilling all the conditions the more likely it is that the outcome is economically efficient.

The only economy I'm aware of that had a lot of employee owned cooperatives was Yugoslavia. It worked better than Soviet bloc communism as far as resource allocation and living standards went but not as well as capitalism.

Co-ops don't expand as much as privately or publicly held firms because they maximise something approximating profit per worker whereas normal firms maximise straight profits. I think I picked up that argument from Paul Krugman. It's been a long time since I read the argument so I may be misremembering but he used Harvard and the UC systems as examples. Harvard doesn't expand its student body, this maximises faculty utility, the UC system does, this maximises student utility. The article even mentions that worker's co-ops have higher profitability than normal firms.
No. We work with startups and usually get access to their code and so we get a pretty decent sample, and Rails still seems to be the most popular choice.

If the research has a cost (and you know this cost), then you actually have three options: original option A, original option B, and research + correct option (or knowledge that both options are the same). If you can at least bound the costs of options A and B, you can make a pretty good guess as to whether the research is worth doing. If it's not, then choosing at random is the optimal choice, and you should not regret it.

What there is of Seattle's transit is good. The problem is that coverage is poor, it relies too heavily on buses (I'd love some more comprehensive regional rail...) and the buses are over capacity and underfunded. Otherwise it is sanitary (some other cities seem to have trouble keeping feces off of everything, but Seattle does well there) and often on time.

Yes, that's a big problem. The owners of capital want to have a say about what the company does, because their money are at stake.

Perhaps this is just a cultural thing though. Take money lending - although a bank gives capital to someone else in exchange for profit, it doesn't require strict controls over the actual use of the money; it relies on contract law to get the money back.

Similarly, the executives of the publicly traded companies have responsibility to shareholders. Perhaps a similar agreement could be institutionalized with the coops too (yet preserve their democratic nature).

"Being a physician isn't really that hard."

I think it's very hard. It takes a lot of discipline and hard work to master all the prerequisites, all the knowledge necessary for the basic science component and then the clinical component, and then put in all the hours per week during med school rotations, post-grad residencies (especially internships). That said, it's mostly about the hours and volume of information and not so much about the intellectual difficulty, which you state... and then say all physicians are "smart". So instead of saying every physician is smart, I'd say most physicians have a good memory and the ability to work really hard. If you can get reasonable grades in Comp Sci, you can certainly handle medicine if you are willing to put in a lot of hours.

I remember feeling so depressed watching the sun rise through a window next to an OR, having put in another really long day with not much sleep during a rotation. At least in Comp Sci, you are building something, actively solving problems while doing an all-nighter. In medicine, particularly at the med school level, you are doing something more trivial like holding a clamp for a while or asking people about their history.

IMHO the practice of medicine indeed sucks if you want a creative job. Almost by definition, the practice of medicine requires you to not be creative unless you want to be sued for methods outside accepted practices. There are a few truly gifted individuals who combine scientific research with a limited clinical practice, but to be at the forefront of both requires more talent and time management skills than I had.

For me it was.... either instant or 15 minutes. The 15 minutes was 'security check' stuff, apparently. But I was selling digital downloads. I'd just have to approve them instantly - no one expected they'd have to wait 15 minutes to get approved, even when I tried explaining it. So... I had some bad charges come back, but the download was already done - no way to protect myself. GC was pretty bad.
I play video games. Usually an hour or so is enough for the 'steam to get blown off', but sometimes I do get sucked in and lose track. I try not to play competitive multiplayer games when I'm riled up, as they can get me more riled up, but I love to pick up one of the 10s of unplayed critically acclaimed single player titles lying in my Steam (ironic?) library I got as part of some bundle. It really takes my mind off everything, and reminds me of the magic that software can create, and makes me want to get back to creating it.

You say you develop for the RPi, can I ask you what kind of development do you do and if you have any numbers to back up your claims?

I have deployed 3 RPis as digital signage systems. They work flawlessly for over a year now. I use another one as a home server for DNSmasq/VPN/etc. No issue and has more than 30 days uptime.

I share your views on SDCards but I don't consider the RPi 'unstable' by any means, although the SD cards get easily corrupted.

I had a 'bifferboard' (extremely small board) and an eBox2230. I know what unstable looks like, and the RPi is the most stable mini-PC at that I've seen so far.

I am now using the SD Card only for booting the system and run everything of a USB flash drive following this [1] HOWTO. Since I rarely reboot my Pi, the SD card barely gets used.

I never had the SD card corruption issues before, but I moved to this option just in case. I don't see the instability issues you talk about either but we're probably giving the Pi different uses...

That's, not finding your true desire, though, that's just triggering the regret reaction.

Flipping a coin is a way to think about the "what if I choose option B" in a way that feels like someone else made the decision so it's OK to resist it, instead of feeling like you made the descision yourself and get stuck in consistency bias (stubbornness).
Well, I was forced to use Windows+LispWorks in college and I found myself (and my classmates) shouting "stupid LipsWorks!" at it more than we should have.

The GUI leaves a lot to be desired and it crashed on my face regularly, progress lost included. Exploratory programming was a real nightmare and I got into a workflow where I basically had to copy any progress into Notepad and paste it all back from the beginning when LW crashed. I don't remember the specifics of how and why it happened, because we avoided it like the plague from there on.

If GP called it stupid he might have his own reasons to do so (even if he could've said it more politely). Dismissing his opinion because of how much effort someone has put into LW is not helpful. The man hours of work mean nothing because as a consumer I don't care how much work you've put into it, but only about the quality of the product which, based on my experience, is lacking.

I hope you don't see an insult in my words, just sharing my experience. YMMV.

I'm not so sure. We don't have the single-platform uberdominance that we used to have. Writing software for one platform will cause you to miss out on a very significant portion of users. And I think the trends in software, both on the development side and in the released units side, are showing more projects adopting a cross-platform strategy by default.

But there are some major problems still. There are no good, cross-platform UI toolkits. They either support native widgets and have terrible APIs, or they have great APIs and their own, unique interpretation of what "native widgets" means (i.e. they aren't at all).

I got so mad about the situation one day that I thought I might start my own UI toolkit project. Well, I only thought about it for about a minute before I realized how stupid that was. But when I think about the UI toolkit that has the most consistent support across all platforms, has the least enraging API, and the most potential to get better over time, I come to one conclusion...

HTML.

No. It's not great. I already said there are no good UI toolkits. But it's the only one that has the potential to make the world a nicer place.
Sadly this is the sort of rationalizing that uunderlies racism/tribalism: hating people who are different feels better than feeling left out of their goodness.
I want to add something here: great mathematicians compute too. They also know how to perform an algorithm. It is in performing, say, long division, that you start to notice things like when 10 is a primitive root modulo the divisor. Gauss spent his down time counting primes (in his head, he said). Riemann's notes were full of haphazard computations. Amidst his scratch work where the Riemann-Siegel formula appears, there's a computation of sqrt(2) to 38 decimal places for no discernible purpose. He probably was merely exercising, just like a musician practices scales. Erdős was able to memorise 10 phone numbers at a time from a glance at a phone book, amidst other calculating feats.

I hypothesise that offloading this brain work to a machine atrophies your cerebral muscles. Exercises left to the reader are really exercises in an almost kinesthetic sense.

The computations don't have to be purely numerical: even a diagram chase in abstract nonsense is a valuable exercise. Computation frequently leads to insight. As children are adding two-digit numbers, they start to notice shortcuts about how to perform the computations. These are their own little private theorems, so to speak. So when Devlin here is talking about "mathematical thinking" and the less importance that performing algorithms has today, I hope we don't forget that just because it's less important, it doesn't mean it's not important at all.
The result of many months hacking
So, my friend had a problem - he could not find a notes taking app that would fit his needs - it needed to be simple to use, fast and have personalization + the basic features.

So we went and made such an app. We could not decide on the name at first but we settled on QwickNote because it describes the app pretty good.

Here it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arbezone.qwicknote

So if you are like my friend you could also try it out, some original stuff there.

It has folders, theme colors, one-click edit of notes, cool interface, Google Tasks sync, repeating reminders and some more.

Cheers
Ask HN: Is git male or female?
I spent months of my freshman year highly anxious for similar first-world reasons. I excel at and enjoy lots of things and felt like school was making me commit to one field. I would spend days very inactive, stressing out about, for example, the pros and cons of being a game programmer versus an embedded software engineer or something. I could never seem to settle on one area. I thought game programming was a waste of engineering talent, but I found everything else about it extremely appealing. Luckily I'm over that crap now, as I accept what I knew all along: that it's not what you major in that defines you. It's what you do in life that matters. It also helps to be in a field that applies to virtually everything else (CS). I'd go even more crazy if I were in some highly specialized field. Strangely, I'd say the best cure for this is a brief existential crisis.
