It appears that the operator forms he's talking about are things like Select[EvenQ], which would become "transducers" if I could do something like:

even_selector = Select[EvenQ]

incrementor = Map[Inc]

decrementor = Map[Dec]

even_incremented_selector = incrementor * even_selector (????)

odd_selector = even_incremented_selector * decrementor

even_selector[{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}] => {2,4,6}

even_incremented_selector[{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}] => {2,4,6,8}

odd_selector[{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}] => {1,3,5,7}

I've had some experience with middle schoolers and scratch, as well as my 10yr old. FWIW, my school district has access to iPads, Windows desktops, and chromebooks in varying quantities and frequencies through the grade levels.

Once the middle schoolers were in the scratch shell, it's all about scratch. (Well, that and browsing the scratch repos for interesting projects). Would work just as well on linux as windows. Progressing to python with this group didn't work as well on windows as it would have on linux, because the terminals were infuriating for both the teacher and the students. (Also, there would have been a ton less issues getting stuff installed).

My 10 yr old started seriously using a shared ubuntu desktop @ 8 did some scratch, then at 9.5 started on python, and now arduino. He's just fine with the terminal, for what little he needs to actually do with it.

Among other arguments.

There was a moment on time when Slated owned the photograph in a very real sense. At that moment he had all the rights to the photograph. It was in his possession. No one could have forced him to release it. He releases the photograph with the expectation of being protected by the copyright. If he looses the copyright then the copyright is not serving the purpose it was supposed to serve. To give certainty to people that invest their time and resources to create things and release them.
While the BBB may be more reliable, it's still not rock solid - I've been working on an embedded project w/ heavy USB usage and the BBB seems to have occasional, but unavoidable and hard to diagnose hard lockups every couple weeks.

I thought the mandate of heaven 'theory' was similar to the divine right to rule in european political science. The emperor (of China) has the right to rule given by some supernatural force.

Title is nonsense. No mention of domain registration fees, business licence, hosting, and the author is basing that off of the 14 day trial for Shopify and a theme they had previously purchased.

I read the article so you don't have to! The author dreams of consistent behavior so he can get:

- Reproducible results across platforms

- Reproducible results with different build settings (such as debug builds or optimization levels)

- Useful test cases for regression testing

- Test cases that help him find misbehavior in the optimizer

- An improved chance of finding more subtle bugs, absent 'noise' from small changes in floating point operations

In particular, he gives examples of how changes to nearby code can change the output of floating point operations, due to hairiness in how registers are allocated. You can see how this would make testing quite painful.

These all seem like worthy goals that deserve a better response than "you're doing it wrong", along with some non-sequitur about race conditions.

> in a few minutes

Only if you already have BTC. And a transaction takes more than a "few minutes" to confirm anyway.

Speaking personally, I did not own any BTC, and I did not have an account with an exchange. If I want to buy a few BTC to use in a transaction with someone else, it takes over a week. A few days to confirm a bank account at an exchange, and then 3-4 more days for the ACH transfer to put funds into the exchange, before I can finally buy the BTC.

This is also far from decentralized. Everyone accepting BTC as a just-in-time proxy for other currency are extremely reliant on the exchange they use to do the immediate conversions (e.g. Coinbase). Since you already need to trust some centralized entity, Stellar ends up being a much better model for this sort of payment, because trust can be distributed better (with BTC, Coinbase goes down and you can't accept BTC until it comes back; with Stellar, you can continue to use the appropriate credits for as long as the issuer is still trusted by people), and because you don't need to do any just-in-time conversions, you can just accept USD credit and hold onto that and exchange it for "real" USD at your leisure.
They are more comparable to Oleg's Enumerators (http://okmij.org/ftp/Haskell/Iteratee/describe.pdf), in that you compose a series of computations and then push data through them. The type signature is similar:

type Iteratee el m a -- a processor of 'els' in the monad 'm' returning a type 'a'

type Enumerator el m a = Iteratee el m a -> m (Iteratee el m a)

The Enumerators library is complicated by the presence of monads and by trying to automatically close handles when the stream is processed. In some ways it seems that the goal of solving the lazy IO problem led to missing a much simpler abstraction. Transducers seem to be simpler and more focused on just abstracting stream/map-reduce computation.
Hmm...Seems like you lose a lot of brand equity - but then what do I know.

From the article> Wikimedia's editors are split on the legal issues. One user, Saffron Blaze, said in a comment section associated with the photo: "I am not sure I am convinced by the no copyright argument. In this case the outcome was very disrespectful of the photographer who created the conditions that allowed these photos to be created. There are some jurisdictions where even the monkey could be imbued with the copyright as its creator."

This is my perspective as a donor.

I have gotten incredible value from wikipedia personally. So have most people I know. Wikipedia is incredibly efficient with money. They get a lot of valuable and entertaining educational material to a lot of people.

In fact, its been so useful and pleasurable to me and I reckon that it is such an efficient use of donor funds compared to nearly any other cause that I am willing to defer to their judgement. Use my money however you see fit.

I share your sentiment. On the other hand, the upper bound of the number of car reduction is maybe 50% of the cars that would be there otherwise (assuming we can replace most single car trips by 2-3 people trips).

It's actually more specific than that. Diverse means non-"white male".
I'm not convinced that they are still the same species; can one assert that we have, through artificial selection, induced speciation?

One word: "dogs".

(Are you skeptical that chihuahuas and huskies are the same species? Some dog breeds are incapable of mating successfully without artificial insemination, or reproducing effectively -- think of a great dane foetus gestating in a female chihuahua -- but within a small single-digit number of generations they can produce hybridised "mutts" that are interfertile. Similarly, the brassicae are pretty much the same thing.)
> The firm, Felicis Ventures, said on Tuesday that it would always support its entrepreneurs on company matters, giving up the right to vote against them.

> “The one thing that we always say internally is our success is predicated on our founders’ success,” he said. Signing a written promise to always vote with the founders, he added, “makes a really strong statement that we will not block any sale. We will not question the management.”

If this approach is focused on ensuring that founders have the ability to sell their companies, I wonder if Felicis is also doing away with liquidation preferences.

It's one thing to agree to vote with the founders; it's another to structure your investment so that they can actually sell at any time without risk of not making any money.

> The lawyer for Felicis, Gaurav Mathur, said he was initially surprised when Mr. Senkut came to him with the idea. But he said it was consistent with the firm’s philosophy and added that it was permitted under the firm’s agreements with its limited partner investors.

I wonder if the firm's limited partners were aware of this when they became limited partners.

The problem with having plugins be in Go is that dynamic linking of shared libraries (written in Go) is not very well supported right now with gc (standard Go tools, not gccgo). There are plans to address this post Go 1.4.

There are, of course, hacky ways to do plugins without shared library support (gobs via rpc to other processes or whatever), but if it were me I wouldn't spend a lot of time right now working on a Go plugin system for a Go app.
sure, done. good luck.
You could just make them transducer-map, transducer-filter, etc.

There is no reason the exact same name should be used for two different things. It is a lot harder to tell the difference between (map inc) and (map inc xs) then it is to tell the difference between (transducer-map inc) and (map inc xs).
> I don't think I follow your second graph, but you might be suggesting that copyright aside, Calvin is frequently used in stickers on the backs of Chevy and Ford trucks.

Hardly limited to those two (either as locations or subject matter), but, sure, that's one aspect of the use.

> Those stickers are counterfeit.

Irrelevant to the cultural point under discussion, which has to do with what potential future people may be bombarded with in their environment before seeing the source work, not what is legally considered genuine or counterfeit.

> They've been the subject of legal action, and if they aren't today, it's because Watterson doesn't care enough to go after their small-potatoes producers.

Whether Watterson cares is, again, irrelevant, since the issue raised wasn't about the concerns of creators, but how extended copyright protects fans of work from having their children subjected to various forms of unwanted portrayals of the character, etc., of the work before those fans are able to introduce those children to the work in general. Both the specific kinds of unwanted portrayals pointed to as examples ("TV pitchmen for toys and junk food") of the general problem for the general class of works at issue ("great comics, cartoons, movies, music, and books of your childhood") and similar ubiquitous cultural portrayals not effectively controlled by the author (the stickers) for the specific work cited as an example ("Calvin & Hobbes"), so I don't think that there is much evidence that the current effectively-perpetual copyright does much to prevent the general problem being pointed to.

Even if that problem is agreed to be a problem whose prevention warrants government action restricting human freedom (a position I think is itself far from uncontroversial), I think its pretty clear that the existing copyright regime isn't an effective intervention to acheive that end, and so cannot be justified as a solution to that problem.

Most people here are talking about technicalities of the definition of species, etc.

But what I'll mention to you is: Have you not noticed how similar the taste is between some of these mentioned items?
FWIW...

Get a hot-air popcorn popper. A $3 one from Goodwill (thrift shop / flea market) will do, so long as the heating chamber is metal. Pour about 3/4 cup of green coffee beans in (you'll learn to adjust this to the popper). Turn it on. Wait until you hear the beans crack (you'll know) ... keep going just until you start to hear the beans crack again. Turn off, pour beans into cool steel pans, swirl them around until pan warms, repeat until beans are cool.

Home-roasted coffee, cheap, fresh. Your pour-over/Aeropress/etc process will have a foamy head much taller than you've ever seen. Flavor will be wonderful & rich.

Oh, and do the roasting outside. You'll stink up the kitchen good.
I'm really intrigued as to how much of the coffee connoisseur's appreciation of a coffee is down to the flavour and how much is actually down to a placebo style effect and the enjoyment of the ritual.

I love an espresso and make myself one every day but I can't shake the idea that if there were some blind taste tests 95% of the people who say they can really taste the difference between different pourings/grindings etc. (including myself) couldn't tell an aeropress from an old school drip filter machine.

I strongly disagree. Bitcoin is an improvement for 2 reasons.

1. Fraud come most often from customers (who have nothing to lose), not from merchants (who need to maintain their reputation). As a matter of fact, fraudulent chargebacks cost more than $11 billion a year: http://www.dailyfinance.com/2014/03/20/friendly-fraud-costs-... This is why merchant love Bitcoin's irreversible transactions. This fact alone cuts down most of the fraud that currently occurs with traditional payment systems.

2. In the extreme minority of cases where a merchant is malicious, credit cards are actually terrible. Handing over all your identity details (CC number, expiration date, CVS number, billing address, etc) allows the merchant to steal your identity and make fraudulent charges. Identity theft costs $25 billion a year: http://www.businessinsider.com/bureau-of-justice-statistics-... It is possible but a PITA (and still costly!) to recover from a serious identity theft accident... That's why Bitcoin is an improvement because a transaction authorizes merely a transfer of coins and nothing else, so the malicious merchant cannot cause further damages. On top of that, Bitcoin also allows you to completely get rid of this possibility of even losing coins, via cryptographic escrow systems: two-party trustless escrow (http://blackhalo.info/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/whitepaper_...), or 3-party escrow but where the escrow does not even has access to the funds (https://bitescrow.org/)! All this is completely infeasible with traditional payment systems. Surely, the practicality of such escrow systems will increase overtime. Don't judge Bitcoin based on its current imperfections, but envision what is possible.

I'm in my 30s and relatively new to choosing programming as a career. I didn't learn it because someone told me I needed to. I saw (and see) real social and business problems that I wanted (and want) to work on.

The problem I see with the push for everyone to learn code is that it doesn't just expect people to have basic literacy with computers, but wants large numbers of them to choose programming as careers, if only they could be convinced how rewarding it is (financially or otherwise).

To use your examples, everyone should have basic literacy in finance, the law, mental health, and writing. But not everyone should become a lawyer, a finance professional, a psychiatrist, or a novelist. In fact, for many of the aforementioned professions, you could argue we have too many people practicing them already.

Similarly, you could argue we don't need more coders who only want to do it because someone told them it's financially rewarding or is the right thing to do.
