Sure, but the talent itself does consider those things. Educated immigrants certainly do; I know several people who have chosen to migrate to the EU over the US in no small part due to the social safety net and better work-life balance, or decided that they'd rather stay where they are in the 3rd world over moving to the US.

The world is a different place than it used to be in the dotcom boom; tech talent has a lot more options nowadays and those things add up.

I assume it's the (sometimes valid, sometimes false) assumption that many of the 'bad' children are actually too intelligent/talented and get bored because school moves too slowly for them. Admittedly, it is definitely the case for some children, but the majority of 'bad' ones are just too stupid/lazy instead.
I am not so sure with that. Say, your program is used in a shell script and is invoked badly - you might want to print its usage then. If you exit normally your shell script might break weirdly but if you exit with error it's easier to spot the reason of failure.

On the other hand you made me thinking and probably you should have three code passes per default:

[0] normal behaviour (exit 0)
[1] bad arguments (exit EINVAL)
[2] --usage (print to stdout but but exit != 0)?

Anyway I am not sure if it makes sense to declare "usage" as normal behaviour.
If you want to solve by hand, the problem gets MUCH easier if you redenominate the problem in nickels.

BRUVELO: Smart, WiFi-Connected Pour Over Coffee Brewer
Like viriods, which make a virus look huge by comparison:

> Viroids are plant pathogens that consist of a short stretch (a few hundred nucleobases) of highly complementary, circular, single-stranded RNA. Viroid genomes are extremely small in size, ranging from 246 to 467 nucleotides (nt), and consisting of fewer than 10,000 atoms. In comparison, the genome of the smallest known viruses capable of causing an infection by themselves are around 2,000 nucleobases in size. The human pathogen hepatitis D virus is similar to viroids.

> Viroid RNA does not code for any protein. Their replication mechanism uses RNA polymerase II, a host cell enzyme normally associated with synthesis of messenger RNA from DNA, which instead catalyzes "rolling circle" synthesis of new RNA using the viroid's RNA as template. Some viroids are ribozymes, having catalytic properties which allow self-cleavage and ligation of unit-size genomes from larger replication intermediates.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viroid

In case you were wondering what a ribosyme is

> A ribozyme (ribonucleic acid enzyme) is an RNA molecule that is capable of catalyzing specific biochemical reactions, similar to the action of protein enzymes.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribozyme

The action of ribozymes led to the RNA world hypothesis, as the mechanism for how you could have a simple system from which DNA and proteins can come as later optimizations on particular aspects. Some ribozymes are able to go as far as catalyze the building of their own RNA structure in the right environments (albeit, with limited success so far).

Open WhisperSystems: Winter of Code
There doesn't seem to be an integer solution though.

I did the following:

- starting from farmer with 10 chicken, I checked for i = 0..5 (number of chicken possibly sold in the worse part of the day) whether a = 4,5,6,7,8... were working prices for the first half of the day, by calculating 35 - a * (10 - i) and checking whether the result was divisible by an integer in the range 1 .. a-1 (can be done quickly by writing down a table)

- with possible solutions for the first merchant (e.g. a = 7, b = 2, sold 3 for a and 7 for b), repeat for 2nd and 3rd merchant and find solutions that work there also (can limit the choices of a to prior solutions from merchant 1)

- (also, the second price must be 1 if integer due to 26 chicken sold at $35)

I'd assume that I either did some calculations wrong (my old head) or the teacher would at least either expect the kids to also check non-integer solutions (perhaps try 1.5, 2.5 etc.) or actually solve this:

a * x1 + b * (10-x1) = 35
a * x2 + b * (16-x2) = 35
a * x3 + b * (26-x3) = 35
a > b
x1 < 5 (unsure)
x2 < 8 (unsure)
x3 < 13 (unsure)

(x1, x2, x3 positive integers; a, b at least rational numbers?)
I would probably advise the developers to go for another name:

No need to cause pointless confusion about your brand and identity if it can be avoided.
All of these solutions have the sale of chickens for $0, which makes the problem easy (eg, they each sold 7 chickens for $5 and gave the rest away), but is surely not in the spirit of the question.
Well, as per the example in the article, what about the situation where an employee already has a certain plan that covers the business use, so that the cost is already paid for anyway.

Or, how about an employee who wants to use their own phone so that they only have to carry one (BYOD) and not a company-supplied one.

I guess you're just being facetious in your 'ahmahgahd we're being repressed by The Man' but there are circumstances enough where both ways of looking at it are reasonable.
There's a lot of portable games that are stylus/touch-driven. Kid Icarus came with a cradle for the 3DS and if he likes RPGs the recent Final Fantasy Theatrhythm would work great. It supports a one-handed mode for the buttons too.
Main points that I keep repeating to our team:

- "performance is a feature" ... But any feature is something you have to choose versus other features.

- Good modularity is a vital part of a healthy code base, and modularity is usually a big help when replacing a system. Indeed one of the best things to do with an early version of a system is to explore what the best modular structure should be so that you can build on that knowledge for the replacement.

- Design a system for ten times its current needs, with the implication that if the needs exceed an order of magnitude then it's often better to throw away and replace from scratch

- Microservices imply distribution and asynchrony, which are both complexity boosters. I've already run into a couple of projects that took the microservice path without really needing to — seriously slowing down their feature pipeline as a result. So a monolith is often a good sacrificial architecture, with microservices introduced later to gradually pull it apart.
Interesting writeup. I worry that the transition may be more violent. Will those who are driven to have everything be happy if anyone else has anything? I don't know. What makes some people who have tens of millions hunger for billions? I only posed the question because I'm curious what other people's thoughts were; I think we need a fundamental shift in how we allocate resources when the production of resources is relatively decoupled from labour, which in some regards it already is.

Everyone's taste is different, of course, but I've had non-sparge beers that I thought were great. My understanding was that a sparge increased efficiency; are you saying that the sparge results in a different chemical composition?

Of course, if you sparge with different temp water that would make a difference, but how is that different from a step mash with no sparge?

You made an assumption that I originally did, which is that farmer $FOO was dissatisfied with his sales because he had half of his stock unsold at the midday mark. This assumption is unsupported by the text of the problem. Try relaxing it.

Also, chickens are integers but prices are not is a core insight. Life gets easier if you solve a related problem which forces prices to be integers as well, such as an alternate universe where chickens are priced in nickels.
Ha, yes. Reading the question, and indeed giving it any thought at all, were always the things that held me back in maths at school. Using cents and requiring > 0:

But again - there's the variety. I moved to Ireland a couple years ago and discovered to my horror that while the microbrew scene here is good, there were no pumpkin beers and no double IPA's to be found. I dearly missed Arrogant Bastard as well.

A boiler, a couple buckets, and a few crappy batches later, I finally had a decent AB-inspired recipe. (Kind of terrifying that the initials for Arrogant Bastard match Anheuser Busch). In many regards I prefer it; at 6.2% it's a little mellower and better as an after work beer, and I don't bottle it in bombers so opening one isn't such a commitment. Everyone's biased, but when I have friends over the stuff goes quickly so I figure that's reasonably indicative of quality.
Well, at least they were being upfront about it...

Your comment seems to imply judgement of web developers for not looking outside their community, but fragmentation seems part of the nature of the software community. Demographically speaking, web developers are more likely to be younger, have grown up with Windows, and to have not developed for a different platform. In that context it's not surprising there's lower than average familiarity with Make.

In "The Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" (1974), there is an interesting discussion about the idea that removing university grades would provide a better education.

"[A student at a grade-less school would] be a free man. He wouldnt need a lot of discipline to shape him up. In fact, if the instructors were slacking on the job he would be likely to shape them up by asking rude questions. He'd be there to learn something, would be paying to learn something and theyd better come up with it.

Motivation of this sort, once it catches hold, is a ferocious force, and in the gradeless, degreeless institution where our student would find himself, he wouldnt stop with rote engineering information."
I think Apple needs to check on this very careful just because of some services like Uber offer services through the app and don't sell a physical good.

The opposite of this is, that you can't use Apples tier-pricing for services like that just because of it's usage-dependant and is reflected through actions in the real world.

I wonder how much effort Apple is going to put into checking on this actually. Especially because of services like Uber sell the ride. But what if the direct contract partner would be the driver and any service provider like that would just process transactions for comfort - so acting like a payment gateway for drivers.
Ugly but fantastic family pictures
I solved it in my head, using a bit of brute force, but mostly some informal reasoning. Basically (and a tad spoilingly):

Since we're dealing with whole chickens, there should an integral ratio between the two prices--that is, M expensive chickens should be the same price as N cheap ones. To go from, say, 10 to 16 chickens requires replacing X chickens with X+6 chickens sold later but costing the same in total. Same with 10 to 26 or 16 to 26. The GCD between these differences (6, 10, and 16) is 2, implying N<=M+2. We also know N/M>=2.6, meaning to trade from 10 chickens to 26 you need to get at least 2.6 cheap chickens for every expensive one you replace. So there's only one exchange rate that works: one expensive chicken costs as much as three cheap ones. Using this exchange rate, 8 of the 10 chickens would have to be traded to get 24 out of 26, leaving two chickens for each farmer that were sold for the same total, but at unknown prices. Three possibilities (0, 1, or 2 at the expensive rate) is a pretty easy brute force at that point.

Other stuff, like beer, is about the same.

There are plenty of older developers who are interested in the latest thing. Because us older developers get bored with the old stuff, and we are definitely aware of the issue of falling behind. I am 36 and have been doing Node.js for 3 years.

I was just reading a response to this article with someone who was much older, like 50 or 60 or something, also said he was a Node.js programmer.

I've actually been really paying close attention to trends, new programming languages, etc.

Node.js is kind of old news. The coolest new programming language I know of is Nim.

Stuff that I think that matters for the future is higher-level semantic metalanguages for information exchange and information systems factorization, fully distributed computing, connected devices, and custom circuits/electronics.

If you take it like that you can also say ignore the squash and keep the merge commit clean.

That way you don't push all your development commits to the remote and ensure a clean streamlined history.

A problem some teams I worked with have is that there is not one person working on a feature. Especially if you have feature-driven development teams at least 2-3 people actually work on it and a review process is included. That's why teams need to push their feature branches to the remote. Once they are merged: Feel free to delete them. But in my opinion it's hard to work on one feature with several people without distributing the feature branch.

Worst case could be that it goes live because of some processes related to continuous deployment (misconfiguration happens, in companies of every size) send this to live environments and there is a chance to ruin experience for your users.

Governments are not brave.

England has about 17,000 primary schools and about 4,000,000 primary school children. (ages 4 to 11). This group would be amazing for randomised controlled studies of teaching methods. But teachers hate being told how to teach[1]; parents would not like the idea that their child is getting the placaebo teaching method[2]; and governments are not brave enough to try it.
Mostly because the existing system works out pretty well for the "best" children. True, they might not be taxed to their full extent, but they will still be top of their class and progress to university.

And, not to sound too cynical about it, the parents of the "best" children tend to be very involved in their children's education, and might resist an experiment.

Exactly!

But why do you need to squash while merging? The concept of merge tells that a branch is merged into the history by adding a merge commit. This commit reflects all differences. It's done automatically if possible - you need to resolve conflicts if it's not.

Correct me if I'm wrong but in my understanding a merge does nothing else than create a commit which is like a squashed representation.

I'm not sure you can say that. And especially not of the schools of the 1970s and 1980s.
