I wanted NOTHING more than to buy a PC. I had a crappy Lenovo T500 that I loved but after my son destroyed the keyboard, I decided I'd turn it into a headless server for music and pick up a $1000-1500 laptop (used, of course - I refuse to buy new laptops due to insane markup and immediate depreciation).

All I wanted was a $1500 laptop that could run Windows 7 and Ubuntu out of the box, had awesome resolution, and decent specs. What I found was an ocean of bullshit, and having used a MBP Retina at my previous job, I finally sighed and bought a MBP Retina off of Craigslist for $1500. I'm typing on it right now, and sure I have a desktop battlestation with overclocked i5-2500k downstairs with two 30" monitors, but this is my road warrior and I use it for writing, video editing, and light gaming. I'll never buy another PC, and just a year ago I could never see myself buying an Apple laptop. Frustrating, but the PC world has earned its place when it comes to laptops: Irrelevance.
Gift economies prevailed for longer than capitalism has, and my gut says they will again. Not because of scarcity / abundance but because now we have social software. I'm working on a speculative project to scale the gift economy.

I've got a job with a major game developer in the North East and it's 18k per year, for a junior programmer. I've decided to accept it since I have the job I have always dreamed of, but I won't lie if I say that I would like to make more money - especially since I have a Masters degree in CS.
I've found I get the biggest wins from tools such as InstantClick (http://instantclick.io/), although of course that doesn't improve the initial page-load speed at all (and should slow it down marginally.).
Unless of course, you want your side projects to work on non-Apple platforms. Aside from mobile stuff (and who really cares about that ;), the remainder of the Xamarin/Mono toolset is feature complete and almost entirely open source.
That's clear - but that's not the case presented in the slides...

"Automatic" is clear, "getter-only" is clear, but "automatic getter-only" leaves me scratching my head.
Do you know what to do AFTER interviews?
I started a graduate-level role in London less than a year ago at £25k. The only things I saw or were shown by recruiters that would give me a higher salary (at my level) were positions in places that would be a horrible commute.
Yeah, it must be initialized in the constructor.

Similar to the JVM, the CLR can offer binary compatibility of libraries, which is something Microsoft cares a great deal about. Changing a public readonly field in to a public readonly property is source-compatible, but not binary-compatible. That's why properties are generally preferred, even when you don't strictly need one. The language was actively discouraging either immutability or binary-compatibility by making it more verbose to get a trivial readonly property.
C# seems to look more like Scala with every release (a good thing), with talk of primary constructors for C# and string interpolation etc.

EDIT: Interesting to see Neal Gafter is involved (See Roslyn mention here: http://www.gafter.com/~neal/), who is rather fond of Scala from what I've read: http://www.infoq.com/articles/neal-gafter-on-java
How do you get the public key? I've heard the ssl certificate system that ships with browsers is broken, too.

Maybe it would be an improvement to create a small command line tool that ensures https connections and asks for a hash before running a script?
Are you saying that it's going to be equivalent to a non-private getter, private setter automatic property as it is now?
It is an exagerration to say that the situation you described was typical (though "too common" might fit). You implied that you could not obtain treatment if you cannot afford it. And now you're adding the largely fictional risk of losing your home into the mix. Yes, it is possible to lose your home in bankruptcy but only if the equity in your home exceeds your state's homestead exemption (often, but not always, $50,000) by an amount large enough to make it worth selling. This will not often be the case for a person who is driven into bankruptcy by medical bills.

I do agree (as I said) that people should not be put in the situation of having to choose between preserving the lives they have built for themselves, and obtaining healthcare. But I think it's important to be scrupulously accurate and responsible on this topic since the discussion itself could influence somebody's decision not to seek treatment.
Getting Core Dumps of Failed TravisCI Builds
Societies don't work like that. Individuals don't live in a vacuum, free to make their own rational choices. Each one of us is born into the world with obligations and relationships created for us by our families. Children are usually not free to choose what education they get, the level of financial (or labor) support they're required to contribute to their family, the role models they're exposed to, or the access to people who can open doors for them. These obligations, as well as opportunities -- even among those of the same income level-- differ greatly from one culture to another. For example, nominal poverty in a close-knit rural society is very different from that in urban areas.

Comparing income (even adjusted income) in one society to that of a very different culture makes little sense. This applies both to poor people as well as the rich (who buy different things in different cultures), although the differences are much bigger among the poor because they are less exposed to foreign fashions.

Even if the economy was completely fair (and it isn't -- access to education and to key contacts plays a major role in your chances for success), there are so many social pressures surrounding us (and while all of us are subject to some social pressures, those the poor experience are usually much more choice-limiting) that describing economic behavior as a free choice is completely disconnected from reality, and from everything we've learned in about a century of sociology.

EDIT: And as to your original question, what do the American poor suffer from, they suffer from poor healthcare, bad education, constant financial dread, constant encounters with the law, life in high-crime neighborhoods and probably dozens of more very serious problems that I'm lucky enough not to have experienced. Your patronizing attitude, suggestion that people not in imminent danger of starvation are not suffering (or that there suffering is their own choice) is completely ignorant. If I recall correctly, we've had a similar argument over feminism, and there, too, you've shown complete disregard and disdain to any actual research on the subject by people devoting their lives to it. You can either learn about property -- or not -- but you should know that if you don't, you're arguments stand on ignorance, which, unlike poverty, is actually your own choice.
What's really interesting about the labor glut is that the conventional wisdom about demographics hasn't been adjusted.

The CW is that the US has a great future because US population is going to climb to about 400M by about 2050. If economic growth is decoupled from labor, is that an advantage?
Hi smt88,
having lots of time is important. But the good people are usually very busy already. I know some C level guys, who would just leave their job and work with me. But the cool guys are different. Usually the cool guys are already in good positions and wouldn't just run away from current responsibilities.

I have to take certain steps, or just start working part-time with them, not forcing anything, so that one will eventually get rid of his other responsibilities to work with me.

What do you think?
Thanks.

I went with Dell because they can support whatever I buy here. Going with a supplier that has no local presence this side of a national border is not a good option.
Ah, that's the catch, it makes sense now.

Did you even read my post? I mentioned the FDCPA. I'm very well aware of what my rights are under it. Most of the companies I dealt with didn't give a shit about it and simply passed my debts along to different companies who each got to take a whoops and pass it on again..

"Don't be evil" is the corporate motto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil
That's a very difficult motto to change. Removing it would mean "we're free to do evil now" and that won't be received well. Anyway, I wonder if is there anyone left who thinks Google is still faithful to their motto.
> Why, does it have any other potential?

Saving the civilized world from the clutches of terrorism, lining pockets, maintaining a global hegemony.

The last item isn't necessarily a bad thing, depending on your point of view.

> I dunno, at least most "authoritarian regimes" only mess with their residents. Whereas the US messes with its residents ...

Fortunately, the U.S. has not yet made a habit of disappearing human rights activists and dissidents on a whim.
Note that EMTALA only requires hospitals to give you stabilizing treatment.
Which is exactly the same as you verifying the public HTTPS key of the server you're downloading the software from; in reality, the only thing that differs is the server you're targeting (the compilation server, v.s. the downloading server).
> asm.js has several strengths over NaCl and even PNaCl

Why should we have to choose one or the other? Content negotiation is your friend.

Of that liast, I think only 1 and maybe 4 are real strengths.

Strength 1 means that old browsers or browsers from uncooperative vendors can still run applications at some level of performance (which might or might not be a usable level). Probably more important, tbh, is that it alters users' perceptions of who is to blame for poor support. It seems that when a site runs fast on browser A but slowly on browser B the user tends to blame browser B, but when a site runs fast on browser A but not at all on browser B the user tends to blame the site owner. When users correctly allocate blame to uncooperative browser vendors this provides the impetus for browser vendors to reform their ways and/or for users to switch browsers.

As to point 2, the fact that asm.js means that authors and tools don't have to target a new runtime language is a pretty mixed blessing, because perforce it means that they have to continue targeting the old one, which is JS. When did "here, compile to a subset of this old high-level scripting language and we'll try to get the performance back using the latest in JIT and specialisation" become a reasonable candidate for a portable assembler system? Like a dog walking on its hind legs, it's impressive that asm.js works as well as it does, but that doesn't actually make it a reasonable approach. It only makes technical sense as part of a heroic effort to provide backwards-compatibility with JS-only browsers (see strength 1).

A completely open standard? Has there been any sign that Google is frustrating or actively opposing efforts to standardise NaCl/PNaCl? It seems that there's simply been no external effort to standardise it or interest in standardising it. Since "Web standards" are, to a good first approximation, a sock-puppet for the browser-vendor oligopoly this basically means that the other browser vendors have no desire for NaCl to become standardised. So I don't see how browser vendors telling us that NaCL is bad because Mr. Socky won't approve use of it is anything other than a childish deception. Let the other vendors make a serious, good-faith effort to standardise NaCL/PNaCl then we'll talk about lack of standardisation.

EDIT: additionally, notice how "it's a black box" has quietly disappeared from the list of the other browser vendors' complaints against NaCl? C or C++ pushed through LLVM then Emscripten and ground up into asm.js is surely just as opaque to the site users as the same C or C++ pushed through LLVM and emitted as a PNaCl or NaCl binary. But it's their black box, so that's OK.
Polymer builds on top of the draft HTML standard of being able to register your own HTML tags that contain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This opens the way for writing your website with components like:
<google-maps center="London" />
<twitter-tweet id="ABCD" />
<facebook-like id="ABCD" />
<youtube-video id="ABCD" />

Components use internally a shadow DOM for representation so that they are untouched by / do not affect the CSS on the main page.
Meanwhile Chromium is a perfect hybrid offering the best of both worlds and doesn't need _another_ browser 'dedicated to developers'. Mozilla is more than ever feeling the slippery slope of market share under its shoes and this feels like yet another attempt to recapture a market (web developers) which was once theirs.
> It's one thing to rule with an iron fist, it's another to target individuals and not the behavior.

Quite honestly, I don't see any of this in the thread in question.
>> Right. But would you blame the cash? rather than the "enthusiasts"?

What's the difference? Its value is subjective and brought about by the people that use it. If I find them obnoxious I might not want to deal with it at all. If someone came up with Arsebucks and they were used predominantly by arseholes, I might not involve myself in that either.

>> Also, note that this "cash" is readily exchangeable for US$, Euro, etc. which makes this "BTC smells" argument absolutely pointless.

If you've got an account set up to perform such exchanges, and if you disregard all the valid legal and taxation reasons people have come up with, and if you ignore all the various transfer and conversion fees, and the market volatility ... sure. But I haven't got such an account, and I don't want one either (frequent hacking comes to mind as a reason).

>> Just imagine you got envelopes with Indian Rupees in them. Why on Earth would you go on a rant on the currency?

Given that it's illegal to take Rupees into or out of India, I might have some concerns, yes! There's another currency you want to be careful with!

>> It appears to me some people are just looking forward to express their dislike about Bitcoin or whatever else they dislike, be it relevant or not. Thus, "rant".

There are a lot of reasons to dislike BTC in itself, over other currencies (I don't want to get into that argument here), at least some of which are down to how individual countries treat BTC.
There are a lot of reasons not to want to be involved in its ecosystem (dodgy dealers, hacking etc).
There are a lot of reasons not to want to be opted in to a tipping service that you can't leave.

I don't think any of these are irrelevant to the situation, it's a nice combo of all of them.
I'm glad you brought up the point about women, because I'm actually writing this from my mother's hospital room where she's been for about a month after a heart attack of her own.

Her experience was very, very different from what we're taught to expect from a heart attack as men. She'd been nauseous and tired, with some chest tightness and general malaise, for a period of about 4 days before my stepdad told her to go to urgent care, where they put her on an ambulance to the ER, where they admitted her to the cardiac ward. She had been having a heart attack for most of that four-day span and wrote her symptoms off as "just part of being a 66-year-old woman." The length of the event caused her to go into shock, and she's had all sorts of problems falling out from that. She's stable now, at least, and is recovering well, but she should've sought medical care much, much sooner.

Since this happened, I've spoken with dozens of men and women I know about heart attack symptoms, and so far only a couple of people knew how different the presentation was across genders. If you have any late(ish)-aged women in your life about whom you care, make sure they know what a heart attack might feel like for them. My mom got lucky and has had a great team of doctors working on her recovery, but you can't count on luck the way you can count on knowledge.
The important thing to note here is that the scaremongering is precisely what contributes to more deaths.

If you're marching around saying lives will be ruined if you seek treatment , then YOU, not some other person, are the problem.

Think carefully if the point you imagine you're making is worth that.
Xamarin's value proposition is developing for multiple platforms at once (or at least, as a current Xamarin user, sharing as much as possible between platforms). Swift still offers nothing for that scenario so I don't really understand the comparison.

Obviously if you are only going to ever develop for iOS then going with Swift could make sense but then it seems that Xamarin would've never really have been an option anyhow, irrelevant of cost.
You are 100% correct. If you look around a lot of sites are 1-2 MB page loads, 100+ HTTP requests and do very little if any image compression.

As a result page loads take at least a couple seconds on a good connection, but a 5-10 second page load isn't unheard of.

This is what we did for our own site to make it fast: http://retromocha.com/learn/how-we-made-our-website-fast/

Honestly, a lot of people could get a lot faster sites if they just put the time and effort towards making them fast. It's not even that difficult, but most don't know or care to make the changes.

Google is doing a lot to make this stuff easier, but there are plenty of things holding us back, mostly it's lack of care to make things fast by the average website.

How to Impress at Hackathons
Yes, there are cases where things are worse than I described. But the comment I was responding to, and thus my comment, was addressed to what is "typical" in the U.S. system. What's typical, is that a person has insurance, goes to the hospital, and everything is more or less fine. What is not typical, but still entirely too common, is that an uninsured patient takes on an obscene amount of debt that has a major impact detrimental impact on his life. But that is far better than dying, which many would have you believe is the only option.

It is also true that people sometimes get this calculation wrong and die as a result. This is due, as I mentioned, to a system that inhumanely forces this choice upon you, as well as people who spread misinformation about how our system works.

So, 14.3% of US Households don't have enough food. Food insecurity is another way of saying "Hey, we may not eat today but we eat enough calories on average to survive.".

You think these people are paying their power bills over food? Seriously?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/18/american-recession-...

"69 percent of households that rely on food charities to survive have been forced to choose between paying for utilities and paying for food."

"66 percent of households said they’ve had to choose between paying for food and paying for medicine or medical care. Thirty-one percent said they had to make that choice every month."

I'm guessing some people are letting the power bill go unpaid based on that, eh?

So when you say its "Envy" are you saying you are ignorant or that 14.3% of the people in this country are envious, ungrateful bastards for thinking they deserve 3 square meals a day?

Thanks for the links. While I did ask about myself, I was also hoping to find a general information resource I could point friends and family to which was easy to use. So far I haven't seen anything but http://ballotpedia.org is promising!

Also, your second link for MD specifically does give me a sample ballot PDF customized to my legislative and congressional districts but I'd have to copy/paste all of the candidate names to do research on them.

Thanks again.

And let's not forget the necessary infrastructure to get and store bulk frozen food, plus the time, infrastructure, and supplies needed to prepare it. How many 6-pound bags of broccoli can you manage while changing buses? How many fit in the freezer of the small, old fridge your apartment has? How long can you spend cooking when you're pulling hours at two different low-wage jobs with erratic schedules and still have to get the kids to school?

I cook and eat a lot of healthy stuff, and I do it at a pretty reasonable price. But it is definitely a luxury that I pay for in time, and it still only works because I have decent infrastructure.

For those who did not grow up poor, it's worth reading John Scalzi's "Being Poor" to get a feel for the experience: http://whatever.scalzi.com/2005/09/03/being-poor/
I hope that Microsoft buys Xamarin (I know, I'm evil) and makes it free, or very reasonably priced.
Last time I tried Xamarin (and I'll admit it's been a while) cross-platform was surprisingly difficult. A project had to be either iOS or Android - and that included projects that had no UI code in them. So the concept was there, but the execution wasn't yet.

Of course, this may have changed.
Cool. That sounds like a pretty classic 2nd Degree Type 1 Atrioventricular Block (also know as a Wenckebach block).

If the area of infarct impacts a part of the heart responsible for electrical conduction, stuff like that can absolutely happen, but it's not especially common.

> I have cyclothymia and panic attacks, and these issues were worst at 25-27.

Weird. I had my first panic attack at 25, nearly 26. The medical folks thought I was having a heart attack at first, but the symptoms and tests didn't quite add up. Fortunately, I've been able to manage it reasonably well with the help of my GP, but I do occasionally have recurring episodes if I don't take care to avoid triggers (my fault, really, I'm bad about that sort of thing).

Oddly, reading this makes me feel better knowing that there's someone else who had the same thing happen in the same age range. What's funny is that you know in the back of your mind you're not a statistical outlier, but when you don't know anyone in your immediate circle who suffers from the malady, you can almost convince yourself there's something horribly wrong. ;)

I never did get the phantom smells, but it often expresses itself differently for different people.
