> The way OOP is taught often doesn't bring up object thinking. But if you believe it is not natural, try thinking mathematically (without nouns or names as unique aliasable identifiers). Or without isa or hasa relationships.

Is-a and Has-a relationships don't require class-based OO structures to express in a language. E.g., both membership in a abstract group sharing a common interface (is-a) and composition (has-a) relationships are readily expressed in FP languages like Haskell quite directly, or in languages that are more like traditional OO langauges but which separate interface from implementation rather than combining them as is done in class-based OO.

The OO approach to programming, and thinking about domains, has broad utility, but the particulars of static, class-based OOP are not necessary to realize that utility.
Just came across this, thank you. Self teaching myself now and constantly worrying about having x number of pages/apps going to show I know what I'm doing.
From what I'm guessing, it looks like a one-time token printed in the web site on a QR code, which the phone reads. It would mean it can only be used on the web sites that adopt it. Or it needs a lot more explanations on how it works.
Not in ruby, which is the language he's writing the pseudocode in.
It requires TCP overhead if the dns packet is bigger than 512 bytes. You could abuse the DNS protocol to carry HTTP-esque metadata but it would be a small victory over standard HTTP. Reusing an existing TCP connection is more efficient.
Yep, I was very confused by this as well. Never heard of this company, but 'moz' is a common nickname for Mozilla, I believe.
My first thought is that it saves alot of screen switching/resizing while demoing or live coding from terminal. Fullscreen presentation until I need to show something, ^Z it into the background and run my demo or open up vim and do something, then pull it back up to where I left off without having to mess with windows or font sizes while the audience hangs on dead air. I don't know how much of a problem that is in reality though.

Creating a driver-owned replacement for Uber's service could certainly work to give drivers a better deal, but unionizing existing drivers is a better means to that end. Uber certainly adds value—they've got a good app, and it's great that I can land in a new city and know the same service will work the same way.
The Most Terrifying Thing About Ebola
Uber doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. I don't care if you or anyone are a socialist, a capitalist or a subscriber of other garden variety ideology.

Either you act on strategy that sustainably benefits the poor and the middle class or you attack "capitalists". When a self-professed socialist regurgitates same points about the evil ways of Uber (which may be absolutely true), he or she doesn't help the poor. Or even drivers in the long-term.

Concentrate on the important issues. Even if you win against Uber, cars will be automated sooner. That's all.

Anti-Uber articles certainly increase the author pageviews though.

Oh, and I am perfectly sure that my job as an entrepreneur, programmer and marketer will be automated, too. A little bit later, but the Singularity won't spare anyone's job.

Please pardon my ignorance, I have just learned this term after realizing how well it explains 26 years of my life. Wikipedia defines the syndrome like this:

"Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger disorder (AD) or simply Asperger's, is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests."

From this definition, I get the impression that "difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication" is what defines AS. I'm very curious to learn why you think it is overgeneralization.
This is a very interesting project that I will be following; but I can't agree with this sentiment. Experience is a foundation of any skill and programming is no different. This argument could be applied to essentially any profession that requires experience to be competent in.

I think that it's better to look at the issue from another angle; the speed at which programming is evolving. If omniref were to pose themselves as a venue to simplify the act of learning new concepts and tools, that I can get behind.

How would an attacker learn of the private key server? If that were easy, the very concept of CloudFlare would be undermined, which obviously is not the case. Having learned the address of the private key server, how would an attacker proceed? ISTM that all she could attempt would be to repeatedly try to set up the "secure tunnel" mentioned in TFA. At some point the private key server could just ignore those. I don't see much DOS potential there.
There are fundamental cultural issues that will need to be addressed for civilization to reach sustainable, large populations. Yet, even if we do undergo a mass extinction, it may be slow enough that we can actively intervene in the ecology to prevent the collapse of civilization. With the rise of synthetic biology, advanced genetic engineering, realistic ecological simulations, and perhaps AI-engineered organisms, it may be exiting. We could be on the cusp of an unprecedented explosion in new genes, phenotypes, biochemistry, and general biodiversity.

In labor sourcing and allocation markets and under US law, these companies are essentially gaming the employment classification test: they're doing everything they can to appear to customers like a simple, monolithic, one-stop-shop (often with amusing disclaimers buried somewhere in their fine print) while adhering to the letter of the FLSA's classification scheme.

It probably won't take that many more items in FLSA's classification list to fix the situation.

It's nice to hear from you, Dr. Strangelove. How is life in the bunker?

There are so many unanticipated consequences of the extinction event we are currently slipping into that I think it is pointless to speculate in a sentence or two. The geologic record of past major extinctions (there have probably been many more minor ones) is extremely fragmentary and inconclusive. How fast can species, including ours, adapt to huge change? It is all about mutation and speciation rates. In some ways we have suppressed mutation rates by limiting disease and lengethning life; in other ways we have sped it up with synthetic chemicals and genetic engineering. Who's to say?

That structure isn't a mistake. The USFS & the NPS have distinct goals.

Borrowing from Wiki:

Land management of (national forests) focuses on conservation, timber harvesting, livestock grazing, watershed protection, wildlife, and recreation. Unlike national parks and other federal lands managed by the National Park Service, extraction of natural resources from national forests is permitted, and in many cases encouraged.

USFS does not exist for pristine preservation of deep wilderness. The goal of the NPS is preservation & low-impact recreation. The goal of the USFS is responsible resource exploitation.

Both goals have their place. We need both organizations. The key then is wise choices in designating the land.
I like to see that too!

I feel like I did nearly avert a situation much like you are describing. I was just falling into a pitfall of depression when a decision, made in a strange, drunken state changed my life forever. By the weirdest circumstance I went to a latin dance class. The combination of structured social contact, technicality and physical exercise did wonders for my self esteem. There's a certain meritocratic vibe with dancers where with just simple repetition and hacker mindset you can become quite good, and people will respect that however your physical appearance. You can make lots of really great friends in a short time. I think that's one of the greatest life hacks a depressed hacker can do. You learn to interact with people easily as there is a very clear framework on how you approach people, there is always a big shared interest to talk about, and the amount of calories it can burn is incredible. I'm sure one can accomplish this with other shared activities, for example sports, but the amount of positive influence latin dances can do to a hacker is in my opinion unparalleled.
I've been melting audio retailers brains with in person demos since CES. The product honestly sounds like an integrated amplifier with a pair of bookshelf speakers, but you're always in the sweet spot. If you're in the Toronto area I'll be doing demos around town next week. I've already hit NYC, SF, and Denver. Plans for another tour when we're about to ship.
Vim wasn't backwards compatible with vi. And your reasoning lacks a logical basis, with all points being subjective.
It's hard to believe only if you understand it as "everybody would be fine". A cataclysm would probably kill or starve many people, but what is hard to believe is that there would be no survivor at all.

Consider a nuclear submarine for instance. This facility is capable of remaining totally autonomous during half-a-year (it even produces its own oxygen). It's not too hard to imagine that something similar could protect a fair amount of men and women from basically anything, and for a longer period, if it only is modified to do so.

Consider also this non-exhaustive list of underground bunkers: http://io9.com/the-secret-world-of-underground-bunkers-51160... You could probably store enough food and other resources to survive during decades in these. Certainly enough time to figure out how to eventually survive outside, regardless of what exactly happened there.

And finally, remember that there are already thousands of survivalists all over the world, actively preparing for the end-of-the-world.

What is hard to believe is that a few environmental factors would cause the death of absolutely all human beings on Earth.

In medical research there is also the additional handicap of career structure. The extremely hierarchical nature of medical careers, and the substantial financial rewards for "playing along", mean that there are strong disincentives to rock the boat by criticizing the hypotheses of senior members. This often results in byzantine twists of logic being used to justify continuing with particular lines of enquiry, such as the amyloid hypothesis in Alzheimer's disease (my field).

On the contrary, I think anyone who is thinking seriously about automation acknowledges that their job is on the list, especially for a lot of software work like debugging, updating libraries, refactoring code, etc. There's nothing wrong with that. Automation means more free time to do things people actually enjoy, but only if we properly distribute the benefits. The challenge is not to prevent automation of any kind of work but rather to ensure that people are fairly compensated for that automation and all the benefits don't go to the people at the top.

We should consider a single plastic toy, bought from Amazon, used for a few months and thrown away: The material and minerals are taken from the ground, factories to produce it, ship to the harbour, overseas, to stores, to the consumer, and then - disposal? For what? Animals are living creatures, that inspired (and still inspire - so many movies, stories, sport teams, logos, metaphors) humanity for ages. Many, many daily things we can really live without. Think shoedazzle. Do we really need new shoes monthly, or "get obsessed"[1] about shoes? Can we at least buy something with better quality that lasts for years? This shopping and comforts have a cruel irreversible price tag on animals and wildlife. Add to this wars and conflicts all around the world, and the results are devastating.

And it is a near-infinite performance multiplier. Every driverless car is very useful work being done without anyone having to do work, besides maintain the thing. And Tesla is leading the way with repair facilities that are almost completely automated themselves, and when you have autonomous vehicles capable of driving around other defective goods to automated factories for repair, it becomes even more profound.

Every worker replaced by a robot is tremendous productivity gains for the economy. Or, moreso, for their boss. The sooner we accept that many people will soon be unemployable, and that is a good thing, the sooner we can move on with our society and not need to try forming unions to prevent progress out of fear of jobs that have no reason to exist and thus are a drain on everything.

Because the founders often don't really believe in their startup's offering/services in terms of profitability. They want to hand over all the risk to investors and coast on other people's capital while they take a paycheck, boost their credentials and hey, maybe we'll get acquired?
I have to agree. A lot of the more detailed advice is muddled, misleading or even wrong. Very little discussion and collaboration seems to be happening on the wiki - just people editing in what they think is right.

Are there any freely available resources online that cover best practices? Even StackOverflow is a quagmire when it comes to security concerns.

Edit: Or even not freely available. But preferably free :P
Well, I was thinking about it when I talked about releasing nefarious gazes, but I did not want to digress too much.
> at the very least we should expect that from the average publication, and be suspicious of any experimental paper that does not include some description of the blind alleys.

In mathematics, being suspicious might be a bit much, but it's a very valuable (for your audience) habit to have. For example, the book Introduction to the Theory of Computation by Michael Sipser does this a lot: it often explores avenues that lead to dead ends before arriving at the correct proof. This is the way mathematicians work, and it's usually hidden from papers or other textbooks. I'm guessing that this is either for economy or because authors want to look like the first thing they tried was the right one.
Could be a talent acquisition (not saying that's likely to be the case, just an example of why someone would buy them even with a poor business model).
The loop of programming "skill" is the path a craft takes as it moves to mass production. To me, much of programming is building custom automobiles by hand. Eventually, tools and processes will become standardized to the point that true mass production is possible. Notably, powerful frameworks and changing technology stacks continue make problem solving skills and learning ability valuable. But what happens when our frameworks are so powerful, so stable, and so well tested, that we simple do not need craftsmen? The industry will move to low-skill "coders" (assembly line workers), line code supervisors (assembly line supervisors), framework engineers (factory engineers), framework component engineers (machine/robotics engineers), and programming process managers (operations managers).
In the future, yes I believe so.

Today I believe there is no way.

The world approaches population stabilization. Japan 's population is going to go down. So is China, Germany, Spain...

As we reduce illness in Africa and increase automation people need less children.

Population will get a peak and then not grow anymore.

If we solve fusion energy we will be able to plant vegetables or plankton underground, in floors, in a much more efficient way, as we will be able to have a stable temperature all day long, with pests controlled without using chemical products, just controlling physically the access, and very near the places they are consumed.
The wide range of environments in which algae thrive is something any biologist could tell you.

The availability of electric generation capacity, and the prices thereof, is a matter of public knowledge. The fact that coal burning is still cheaper than many "renewable" power sources is a contingent if not trivial fact. Any human on a greater than subsistence income who wanted to use only solar power, could.

Of course, asking for proof that we're "prepared for potential cataclysmic situations" is the mother of all goalpost maneuvers.
I am of the opinion that both are valuable. Preserve this plot of land, responsibly manage & cultivate for exploitation that plot of land... until we no longer need natural resources, the USFS has its place.

Of course, I spend most of my time in the Parks and Wilderness areas.

I'm a male, I attend three Meetup events that are focused on Women/Entrepreneur. I asked the organisers first if it would be cool to attend - to avoid whiteknighting, I've been declined permission from others.

When attending I work hard to spend more time listening, hard for me, I love my voice. Sometimes I relate stories how I would handle jerk coworkers or push for things I want in the workplace. Feedback shows me that assertive women get called names :(

This condescending behaviour is core issue that keeps women as 2nd class. You don't need an organisation to work on the solution.

My new favourite hobby is to clown the shit out of males when I hear their verbal diarrhoea. It works great. I get to take the moral high-road and insult some dumbass for the entertainment of those around me. Win,win,win.

In our office gender, religious, ethnicity insults, or condescending actions or language is taken seriously. Eg: telling someone to "stop being a bitch" or a "that's gay" comment means you're buying lunch - a $200 offence. 3 strikes and you're out.

So basically I'm saying: be excellent to each other and mock ignorance at the top of your voice.
A lot of bad science is published. I would guess that more than 50% of published articles in the biomedical field are not worth anything, even as "negative results".
There are still some huge hurdles to overcome for working on large projects & medium-size teams with designers. Nothing insurmountable, but a lot of polish that still needs to be put into (re-)usable infrastructure, tooling, and polish.

All that said, once devs are up to speed, and designers have a modicum of tooling, it's the best system I've used so far.
My wife, a surgical technician, hasn't done surgeries like this before but has mentioned how for other procedures (on the face, perhaps) that they fold back the skin and then 'flop it back on'. It is crazy when she talks about stuff she's seen/helped do.

I'm not discussing how good or bad life would be if we were to mitigate a severe environmental crisis. I'm discussing whether or not it would provoke human extinction. And to me that seems very much unlikely.
