A better type system is a complement to unit testing/TDD/other techniques. It simply allows you to focus on other, more meaningful kinds of tests.

You can think of a better static type system as unit tests that the compiler writes for you. When you think of it, automating things is what computers are all about. Of course this won't cover all cases, but neither will the tests you write by hand.

Anyway, you asked if that sort of errors happens. I answered it does.

edit: the problem with arguments like "well, I write software with few bugs and I don't need a better type system" is that it's essentially "just don't write buggy software" in disguise, which is a discredited line of thought in software engineering. People doing TDD (and every other technique/tool you can think of, including strong static type systems) still write buggy software. It follows that you should be using every available tool that can help minimize bugs and enforce correctness. Relative to the criticality of the software you write, of course -- sometimes you just don't care if the software has bugs.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were ordinances in place to discourage/prohibit that though.
My friend is studying mechatronics in waterloo. In the link and also my friend told me that they attach university credit for your co-op. My friend wasn't able to gain employment within 4 months of joining uni and also failed to gain one in the next semester ( even though he did relatively well on his exams ). So he didn't have enough credit to move on to the next year. The fact they attach such an arbitrary requirement to your academics is what causes me concern.
The whole reason for the housing bubble is that companies who want to build apartments are prohibited from doing so.

Antarctica

If you're looking for a moderately entertaining light read try a book called "Big Dead Place". The author's life is pretty dark but the book is funny light reading.

Its basically the movie "old school" with a lot of snow and a screwed up male/female ratio, combined with a bit of Dilberts PHB is both your boss and your landlord with predictable results. His writing is more or less reportedly true with the obvious exception of the "blind men talking about the elephant" issue where you get 1000 people and none of them have the whole total story and experiences will vary.

The author had a pretty interesting blog which responds with a blank white page today. Its worth your time to read it off the wayback machine. The books name is big dead place so search for bigdeadplace.com

He eventually got banned from working in Antarctica because of his writings, and then suicided, shotgun from what I heard. Long term addiction to alcohol didn't help much.
People on cargo ships or oil rigs still usually have regular homes that they live in when they are not working which is often for weeks or months at a time. Google uses it's employees year round.

I wonder if this might be a good solution for the software industry to avoid burnout. Have people live in SV for designated "crunch" periods where you work for 70 hours a week for 2 months, then go home to somewhere cheaper for 2.

IP locations are kept in databases that have many limitations. Some examples of the limitations I found here in France:

- at best your ISP links your IP with the DSLAM location or simply the city for the most lazy. Sometimes there are mistakes: one of my friend living in the north of France has his IP "geolocated" in the south of France...

- lots of big corporations only give the address of their headquarters

- IP location from 3G/4G network is completely wrong 90% of the time

Good for you for being able to have more compassion towards these people than I do :)

People save on rent all the time: crashing at friends, moving in with their BF/GF, moving back with their parents, etc... so this is nothing new and I have no problem with the money saving aspect. I just don't equate it with homelessness.

I feel the same about profiling, but it's hard to deny that publishers are in a difficult position. Say a publisher wants to stop tracking us. How would they go about it and how would enough people learn about it?

For publishers, not tracking users without destroying their revenue stream seems about as intractable as it is for users to block more selectively

It would be difficult to track a person with just their IP address, but used in conjunction with other information it could be useful. E.g. if you worked out the ISP someone was using, and then used some social engineering on the ISP's customer service rep to get a name or address.

A "little confusing" is way off the mark here. If it weren't for Google Search working its magic, it would be practically insurmountable.

I don't think anyone is asking to scrape the old APIs. Just clearly mark the APIs as depracated and link to the new corresponding bits of documentation .. that is after writing them first.

as someone who is more developer than ops, I feel like the docker stuff is still changing fast and that the way you would use docker today will be very different a year from now; but that containers seem to be the way of the future - if I have no pressing need to change my server architecture does it make sense to wait for things settle or would it be more beneficial to get in and learn now and experience the changes and why they were necessary?

RabbitMQ has always been an extraordinarily good piece of software, from the very first versions. I think this is very good news for anyone using Docker.
But wouldn't you eventually get burnt out? For me at least, going home every day is my release from the pressure and stress of work.

I even have a real-world example: My boss is getting divorced, and as the president of our small company, he has the alarm codes and keys to every door. We have a full kitchen, multiple bathrooms, etc. The only thing we don't have is a shower. He figured he could sleep on the conference room couch, shower at the gym since he goes there every day before work anyway, and wouldn't have to pay rent in an apartment while making house payments too. That lasted about a week before he became so sick of being in the building he was ready to quit. He's now living in a hotel while he searches for an apartment.
Rent in central cities is one of the unintuitive outcomes of the modern economy. SV might be an extreme example, but it isn't the only one. The world is far more globalized. People work with clients, customers, and coworkers mostly through the internet, even if they are in the same building or city.

Google's a good example. They have offices all over. They have clients everywhere.

Common sense would dictate that employees would be easier to hire for the same cost elsewhere where that salary affords a better lifestyle. With all due respect to SF (last time I visited I was 12), there are lots of places where a $140k salary will get you the best schools for kids, entertainment for the adults and palatial digs. It is quite literally like doubling you salary to take it someplace else, even within the US.

I wonder what the reasons are. Obviously clusters matter. There's the tautology that everyone wants what everyone wants. Being someplace vibrant and affluent is valuable to the resident & employees (or resident-employees). I also think that nominal salaries are important to people's decision making. A 25% pay cut from relocation resulting in a 10% cut in after tax salary but a real measurable and provable increase in purchasing power still feels like a 25% pay cut.

Interesting.
Did you test the META redirection with a background tab? I'm pretty sure NoScript added an unconditional block of background redirects within a week or so of this attack being publicized.
The author SAYS that, but that's ALL he says. There's nothing to back up the claim that the older versions are not a compromise in security. Are all known vulnerabilities patched? Are security fixes backported?

Absolutely right about the inflation in Ghana! A bag of cement has gone from ghc19 to ghc33 in about a year and the exchange rate is nuts! But as a Ghanaian I really appreciate your effort and what you are trying to achieve.

The satchel is really nice and I hope you ship to Ghana!

Can I make a few suggestions in order to reduce the construction cost for the school? Since there appears to be quite a bit of laterite in the area you could investigate hydraform blocks a bit further http://www.hydraform.com. The blocks use much less cement, are interlocking so construction is quicker and you need less mortar. Also the use of laterite should ensure a cooler interior.

Best of luck and we'll done.
It is definitely changing fast, but that is not a reason to wait before trying out the technology in order to learn about it. If nothing else, the community will welcome your feedback :-)
I've started to see a trend, first on Forbes and now here, where "journalists" are scraping Quora for content rather than creating fresh copy. I get that it's tempting but c'mon.
Yeah. Those Quora answers definitely show a sense of "it was interesting/fun".

"I'd definitely do it again..." and "I've always wanted to live out of a car, ever since my first station wagon..." are quotes in there.

If you want to focus only on academics, engineering is a bad place to start.

Mechatronics is a co-op program. Always has been. You've always had to do at least 5 work terms in the 6 available slots.

Sounds like your friend picked a wrong faculty. Odd, since co-op and jobs and real-world-work features in engineering marketing so prominently.
"Meeting people outside of the tech industry keeps you grounded"

But does where you sleep affect that at all? Even where I am, many people live in apartments or houses and yet have almost no social interaction outside of high tech. I'm sure that's at least as true in Silicon Valley, with its corporate citadels and meetups and apartment complexes that specifically court techies with fast networks etc.

Civic/community/social engagment is driven by where you spend your time between work and sleep (assuming you have any). It's family, old friends, neighbors, fellow sports team members or music fans or craft companions who aren't all from the same few companies. You can interact with all of those people even if you live in your car, whether that car is in the Google parking lot or elsewhere. You can fail to interact with them even if you live in a real home.

The only way your choice of sleeping arrangements might matter is if the security folks think it's odd when you come back from elsewhere and go straight to your car without going into the building first. That's not a normal commuter pattern, so it might pique their interest. On the other hand, as one of the Quora commenters said, if you just show them your company ID they don't care any more.
The best questions for a first date
What was there? It is just the bitcoin SF page now.
Almost 20 years ago I typed "rm /lib" instead of "rm lib" by mistake. Kernel panic messages started to flash on the terminal and I felt butterflies on my stomach. It was a huge (at the time) Sun machine, took more than 12h to restore it.

That is why I avoid running as root.
You couldn't pay me enough to work 8 back-to-back 70-hour weeks.
What would you do and in which order?

If I was your employer? I'd get a restraining order against you and use this post as cause to fire you, as well as keeping it for a great defense against a lawsuit (since you've painted yourself as a malicious hacker).
No matter how high the income, you will find an obsessively frugal person given large enough group. Whether he/she will end up sleeping in car is more function of local security, available free facilities (toilette, shower) around and how much is his/her job image dependent.
I don't get this, why would you use something like Dart which is incredibly immature across the full stack?

I would have thought it would be more feasible to create something with already proven technology...is there something in Dart that I am missing which makes it considerably better than languages such as JavaScript etc.?
Yeah, it has been in Canary and beta channel for a while now. But not all developers run Canary.
Vispy is what's been missing in the scientific python ecosystem, in my opinion. I've been watching the project closely for a good while, glad to see this release and will try it out as soon as possible.
I have had a positive view of UoW after competing with them in the ACM competitions during the 90s. Their teams were pretty impressive. But as you imply, that may not have been representative of the whole school population. Also, their team fielded a lot of grad students, whereas a lot of other universities (like mine) only had undergrads.
Politics aside, what an environmental disaster.
precisely because you're a developer you whould embrace docker with open arms.

Because docker removes all the trouble of running applications that you need for your development: databases, application servers, queues...

I love the fact that I can focus on my code and not on all those details that stole so much of my time.
I lived in an office for a few months once. I did not have a car, so I was actually staying inside. It was not worth the savings. Especially since the rent in that city was far lower than in the places discussed in the article. No bed. Worrying about security (even though I made friends with the main night-shift guard). Worrying about people finding out. Worrying about people finding my caches of possessions. Etcetera. Not worth the stress.
RATs: What are they and why should they be taken seriously?

Awesome. Another benefit was I was able to place US phone calls over WiFi while overseas with no extra charges.
I knew a programmer who did this in Baltimore, a much less expensive city, particularly then. In his case, it was probably the domestic uncertainty brought on by late-onset adolescence--he was forty or so and divorced. Even allowing for the expenses that brought on, he could probably have afforded to rent a rowhouse in a safe-enough neighborhood, but I think he couldn't quite focus on that.
It depends on what you want to do next and from which sources you want to build your recurring revenue. Building recurring revenue before quitting the client or venturing in a product business is the key.

Let's say that your one current client is like having a day job. It's wise to keep them if they're your only source of income, until you find more exciting and equally / more profitable sources of income.

A couple of ideas:

- try to get a couple of new clients, but only a few, so that you can manage them. Put them on a retainer and service them yourself for starters. Repeat until you have enough money from that on retainer. Aim for fewer clients at higher retainers.

- hire a person (as an outsourcer, or paid by the hour, or similar) to help you service the existing client first and the new clients later. Keep training that person so that there's less and less manual work for you, and keep overseeing everything she/he does (be the quality control person). This brings you closer to a real business (other people do the work, you sell and negotiate deals)

- let's say that you now have one colleague that does the work, and a couple of clients who pay just enough consulting to make you feel relatively safe. Let's say that you've organized this in a way that leaves you 50-75% free time to work on The Thing You Really Want To Do. Now, do you want to build a professional service business, or a product business?

In any case, if your work is the only source of income and you can't raise any capital (not even from friends, fools, and family), building recurring revenue streams first is how you get out of any rut, because getting out of the rut requires freeing up your valuable time first.

Does this make sense? Would any of this work in your case?
This. Currently all my stuff fits into two backpacks (a big backpacker one and a small one for the laptop). The only thing I miss from my old stationary lifestyle is a regular gym, sparring partners and a coach.

The only thing I don't understand about living in the googleplex is sex. Logistics is everything - I remember once dealing with a month of involuntary celibacy due to a bad living situation. NOT an experience I want to repeat. I guess these folks just have much better game than I do.
Wonderful. Now we can take the excellent customer service and responsiveness that PayPal is known for and apply it to something with even less regulation than the quasi-bank niche they sit in currently!

What could possibly go wrong?
The code you write doesn't necessarily fix an n, it just says that n cannot change in unprincipled ways throughout a computation. When you read in a vector from a database it will originally be unsized, but you can write code that shows the size is computed and left fixed and then from then on treat it as a sized vector.

It's hard to say exactly how useful this is in practice. More honestly, this is a rather trivial example mostly used to demonstrate DT.

One use of it is in implementing de Bruijn indexed lambda calculus interpreters---if you let the environment be a sized vector then you can use `n` to ensure there aren't bad variables in scope and to take note of closed expressions.

As a polarizing example—proof assistants use dependent typing. Their goal is to express interesting mathematical theorems as types and then finding typechecking programs constitutes as proof of those theorems. They absolutely want power and richness over inference---you probably wouldn't want to write a program with an inferable type anyway. It would be too boring.
I can speak to this happening at a major visual effects facility in the Los Angeles area. There was one developer (a guy who developed Academy Award-winning volumetric rendering software) who was able to live out of a mobile home parked in the main parking lot. This was around '99-01 or so - they're no longer in the same location and I'm sure the current ownership would throw a fit if someone tried it today. You could pretty much get away with anything at Venice Beach in the 90s.
Oh! That's a runtime error... that changes everything.

As others have already written, many webmail providers send the user's IP address in the SMTP header.

Yeah the .NET JITter is free to do what it wants with the field layout, mostly to pack/align things for better perf.
