Because in theory you have more control over your state and (even more) your local authorities. This is a consequence of simple voting power theory - and extending the notion of 'control' beyond single votes to activism, letter-writing, pamphleteering, etc. (In practice it doesn't work that way because no one seems to care that much about the local authorities, probably because it's more exciting to keep people excited about people in power at higher levels).

Europe will come to understand that philosophy as it merges to become the EU. Already the EU is an overcomplicated mess where the dynamics of agency are unclear. It will get worse as the EU claims more power over the member states.
You're referring to sam, I presume? The commands are similar to ed, but the overall design is radically different.

Then of course, Plan 9 has one of the most versatile text editors out there: Acme.

The shell itself is rc(1), which cleans up the mess significantly from Bourne shells.
It's still very unfortunate, the developer community is about split between Eclipse and IDEA: forcing half of the developers to learn a new IDE might slow down Android adoption.

They have enough resources to maintain both ADT and Android Studio, it's a very surprising move.
If the industry does publish mostly men, then reading books mostly by men in that genre is inevitable. And if that is true for the industry, it could just be that not enough female authors are actually looking to get published.

I have experience actually working at a publisher for a particular STEM field, and can tell you that we didn't receive an equal demographic of pitches from authors looking to get published; in fact, we automatically gave any female authors even more of a chance to refine their ideas with us regardless of their original pitches. Males that made dubious pitches on the other hand were just canned outright. Yet the percentages of books published by females was still low, and there's not much that can be done about that from the publishing end if there simply aren't enough females interested in authoring for that genre.

Additionally, there is no reason why liking books by male authors over female authors (or vice-versa) in certain genres should be sexist. There have been studies showing that consumers can relate better to characters and such that share their same gender/culture than those that don't. Similarly, there are studies that students learn better from teachers that also share their same gender/culture. It's hard to say what exactly causes this right now, but it's not a stretch to suggest that perhaps males will simply enjoy reading/relating with authors more if they share a similar perspective.

Also, actively going out of your way to only read books by male authors in all genres is definitely a sign of some kind of sexism, and I have no idea why you're positioning it as something could even be remotely interpreted as 'less sexist' than merely liking books by authors that share a common ground with you. Selectively reading means judging books before you read them, not even giving them a chance based purely on some superficial trait (like an author of a different sex), while liking books could mean judging them on any number of nearly infinite dimensions. The two are nothing alike.
They are entitlement programs. Current taxpayers pay for current beneficiaries, and it has been that way since the programs were founded. Who do you think paid for the first recipients of social security?
XCode was terrible around 2009, but it has come on a long way since. I'm not using it much these days, but when I need to it does amaze me how easy it actually it is to use. I normally depend on vim keybindings, but I find that the autocomplete in XCode is so good that I actually don't seem to mind reaching for the cursor keys for navigation (much).
I believe the .../graphs/contributors page only shows the top 100 contributors (for Go it looks like the threshold for commits is approximately 6).
Its only a build tool. Maybe Maven has damaged you and you expect a build tool to require a significant time investment.
I agree, as a foreigner living in the US, it's baffling how different each state is in regards to law/budgets/etc.
> Is this really supposed to be more effective than an enforced legislation?

The government is like a lion. If you're having trouble with a pack of wolves, let loose the lion and the wolves will be no more trouble. But from then on you won't be able to own any small pets, you're responsible for feeding the lion and you'll spend the rest of your life having to fear that it will turn on you.

When you have serious trouble in the market (like an abusive monopoly or industries causing fatalities) then you call for the lion. When you spot a mouse in your house you put out some traps and get a terrier. And you're asking, wouldn't a lion be more effective at catching the mouse? Maybe it is, but then you've got a lion in your house. Effectiveness is not the sole criterion.

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
They swallow their anger because they have no real alternative. It's the job of legislation to prevent such abbreations.

What we're experiencing in Canada is pretty similar to the U.S.

Perhaps your friends should listen to this specific podcast regarding 'lazy millenials': http://canadalandshow.com/podcast/geritocracy
I'm an American expat (albeit a young one) and I agree that you have plenty of good points there. But how many are exclusive to the problem of expats and aren't just problems with the tax system in general? Maybe it's because I do see value in having an American citizenship, but I wouldn't mind paying taxes, even as an expat, if it were simpler.

Luckily I'm young and make less than $97,600 (yet another seemingly arbitrary corner of the tax code), so I don't have to pay taxes. Of course, I still have to file and then request an exemption, but that's no surprise in a system where lawyers are the only ones voting on the laws.
I don't know when it was posted, but it definitely was less than one year ago. My main data point is that it still is living in an open tab in Chrome. I have a couple of sites which allow submitting links. I know people can get around my requirement that they are unique pretty easily. I'm sure HN is more sophisticated but I think that just having different url parameters might qualify as a different link? Sometimes a url parameter change really does point to a different page, so it might not be possible to eliminate duplicates that have the same url with just different params.
Can these features be added to a vanilla Intelij install? What will happen to the existing Android plugin?
IMO he may be the closest to a P. T. Barnum of tech.
Utopian ideas never play out as intended in reality. Re: The history of radio and TV, how people thought they would be educational tools.

Computers are tools of limitless possibility, but I hardly ever see them used that way. Much more often, I see kids use the computers to play shooting games and watch pirated streams of sports broadcasts.

I think this is partly the baneful legacy of Bill Gates, with his attitude that only he gets the privilege of modifying his software and ordinary people pay him to receive his perfect writings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists

Computers and the Internet are a major challenge to traditional schooling, however. I see very few kids try to wrestle with the questions. For example, in the Great Gatsby, why would Tom lie about Daisy being a Catholic? http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/why-would-tom-lie-about-... Change a few words, homework is done, time for more League of Legends.

The whole curriculum needs to be redone. We need the freedom to dick around, but we must also recognize that very, very few kids will make anything good out of it.
" forcing half of the developers to learn a new IDE might slow down Android adoption."

I think it already did that before, didn't it? The shoe's just on the other foot now.
DevOps tools are rapidly evolving. Now that they've basically finished with machine provisioning, dependency management and orchestration, all major DevOps automation frameworks are going into managing reactive infrastructure. Enforcing a task schedule is just another form of state enforcement.

These are all pretty similar:
- configuration management:
ensure package oracle-java-8 is installed on machines A,B,C with this specific configuration.
- orchestration:
ensure my-awesome-java-app on machines A,B,C is running to databases on machine D,E,F
- deployment with constraints:
ensure that four instances of my-awesome-java-app are running on at least 2 physical machines with over 4TB free disk space.
- job runner:
ensure that script X runs on a cluster every __ minutes. when script X runs, send the output to script Y

I think that you'll see task placement and job scheduling primitives being integrated into DevOps tooling in the next 6-12 months.

Saltstack already has many of the primitives in place for building out reactive infrastructure, http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/runners/all/salt.run...

Would be great to hear about tools for Puppet, Chef, Ansible, other…
Paying to book a restaurant? Probably just for an event. Otherwise I don't see people paying for it. Also, what is more easy? making a simple call or using an app/website, enter payment methods, accounts, etc....?

I know there is an app for everything, but making a call is 1000 better than using any app at the moment.
FWIW: I'm assuming this intel-j based apps, like phpStorm will have emacs key binding. Not emacs obviously but it works pretty well.
I quite like sam, from what I've tried so far. I think it's an interesting take on ed (but I much prefer acme) I still have "learn basic ed (or sam)" as a far-away goal (always pushed down my todo list, since knowing the commands is not enough: using them is what gives power)

This! Same with Zend Studio (based on Eclipse) vs Jetbrains PHP Storm, huge improvements in productivity due to more features and most of all faster speeds.

Somehow on Core I7, 26GB ram + SSD it still takes me less time to make a cup of coffee than for Eclipse to start up :(

I love Jetbrains tools!
Linux 3.18 released
Very interesting. I had been using development under Linux under Eclipse for a long time and found it alright, although recent moves to Mac OSX as the fulltime development system meant it felt awkward under OSX (and upgrades between Eclipse versions always broke something).

Anyway, having installed the JDK 8 u25 on Mac OSX, Android Studio wouldn't run.
You need to export:

export STUDIO_JDK=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk

Modify .bash_profile in your home directory to get that to stick.
At no point has anyone said that X, Y or Z action was meaningless because he e.g. disowned his daughter for the first half of her life. Someone didn't understand how anyone could dislike Steve Jobs, a couple of reasons why were given, and now you are basically asserting that Steve Jobs is beyond criticism because all humans have skeletons in their closets. Do you see the problem?

Whether or not you should look up to Steve Jobs is up to you. Examine the facts about him and then decide whether he is a role model for you. He isn't an infallible role model to everyone by default just because he was successful or in the public eye, nor should he be.
Isn't that also classic Steve, dismissing ideas until he is ready to ship his version of it?
Apple's App Review team has been merciless lately. They won't accept any further updates to my app, Timebar (http://whimsicalifornia.com), unless I get rid of its only feature (drawing a progress bar on your menu bar). Frustrating.

I think Apple could go a long way to locking down developer trust by just vowing to never reject updates for non-technical reasons, ever. If they have to make the initial review much more brutal, it would still be worth it.
That's a good question, and the answer is pretty benign: I didn't know I had bad eyesight.

See, to me, it was perfectly normal to need to sit at the front of the class or to have to hunch over the paper I was learning cursive on; I remember being a bit frustrated that I couldn't understand the lessons if I wasn't close, but I was still young enough that it didn't occur to me my eyes were defective. Squinting was just how you made things clearer after all. At that age I sorta just accepted the world for the way it was. So in second grade, my teacher told my parents I may need glasses, and a while after I got some and learned just how near-sighted I was. (I'm currently about a -7 diopter.)

I've come across a few other people who had a similar experience. From what I've gathered, it seems that first and second grade teachers become attuned to kids that need glasses. As for why I didn't know earlier, I think it's just that I was a fairly introverted kid, so I didn't do a lot of sports or group play. And the only real detail oriented stuff I did was reading, and I could almost literally bury my face in that. It looked like intent reading (and it likely was), but I suspect that was just a matter of holding the book close enough. It's easy to overlook the clues, but straightforward if you're specifically trying to notice 'em.
While I agree with your takeaway, I think you have to be careful which of those points you bucket under the same influence.

Take Marriage, for instance. There's a lot that suggests that the newer generations simply put less stead in traditional institutions; not as a sign of wealth. Anecdotally, I was "half engaged" ('we're going to get married eventually, right?' 'yup.') but sans the ring/formality part for nearly a decade before we started settling things down. It just doesn't have the same meaning to us as to my parents, and although I can say my financial future seems a lot less stable than my parents's at my age, despite a _better_ employment position, that's not why I've avoided the ring song and dance.

That turned into a bit of a ramble, but you get my gist, I hope. I think we'd agree that having a broader sampling of metrics (including more hand wavy sociological ones) that might try and explain not only the statistics but whether we should be trying to correlate them at all would be valuable.

Those are called “taxes”. In theory.
Here is a visualization of the number convergence:

(loop [i 1 t [10N] v [1.0]]
(if (> i 300)
(map (fn [[a b]] (/ a b)) (partition 2 (interleave v t)))
(recur
(inc i)
(conj t (* 10 (last t)))
(conj v (+ (* 9 (last v)) (Math/pow 10 i))))))
Well to be fair Next and Alinea have been dramatically successful with the model. And for that class of restaurant, I much prefer the model of "buy ticket" to "call and be told there is nothing available".
I said it's "not less sexist".
I was an early employee in a start-up that had this policy. It felt very ambiguous. There is what people say and what they do. Even though it sounds great, in terms of flexibility and lack of HR stuff to deal with. In practice people tended to take off less time than they would have taken in a larger corporation because there was only one of every role. If you are gone there is really no one to effectively step in for you.

In the future if I go back to being an employee, I would rather have a generous but clear vacation policy.

It has the possibility for over-abuse by some and under-utilization through fear or tendencies to overwork by others.

If I were joining a company that was pitching this as a strong benefit I would want to ask around informally and see whether people were actually supported in taking 2 or 3 week block vacations. If not, then it is a benefit that is actually being taken away under the guise of freedom and generosity,
I too am satisfied with Eclipse for Android development. It does what I need and I'd like to stay with it for a while longer.

Android Studio is fanciful, I used it for months during the beta. There is one gotcha which leads me to prefer Eclipse. In Eclipse, the compile process is much more integrated with the IDE. The compile step appears to happen inside the IDE app/process tree/whatever. In JetBrains, the compile process is a separate process, much more disconnected from the IDE. Hence JetBrains takes more memory and is slower and running a project build and getting errors back into the IDE. I can appreciate an external build process being flexible for Jetbrains to use their IDE with nearly any language/compiler, but Eclipse worked much faster overall on a 4GB ram setup.

URL parameters don't qualify as a different link (or else anyone submitting a url without removing them would have unique posts). I always thought the rule had to do with comments being allowed on the post, which, I believe, are based on comment activity. My assumption was as long as an article still allows comments, resubmissions don't become new posts.
So someone would ship samples to you guys, then your LIMS/robotic automation handles data-flow and actual physical work? Where are you guys storing all the data?

I have two hesitations to point out:

1) I worked in DNA, and the small little issues that cropped up on every major platform (MiSeq/HiSeq/iontorrent,454,etc) seems like it would make automation of fixes difficult. I guess if you are keeping a stricter list of reagents, parameters, etc, then you could help prevent this, but then people aren't pushing the edge science quite as much.

2) So much data! My systems used to generate over 200gb per day. Good luck downloading that via any api if you have anything but fiber. Do you intend to allow computation to be run on data as a cloud service? If so, I can see this going big places... as long as you allow full control of the VM for all the bio-hats and their custom wizjangles.

I'm out of the industry and have one year left on my non-compete, but I wish you the best of luck! Especially on the LIMS integration: a good LIMS is freaking expensive!
I think the $$ is often an exchange for more than just a place. It includes food or credit towards food, prefixe meals etc.
Are you doing something really specific with the build tool? What testing tools do you use? Do you use the NDK?

Gradle covers the 80% use case really well. Everyone new to Android should use Studio + Gradle, no question. Dependencies are a breeze, the integration between Gradle & Studio is wonderful, the syntax is super simple, and the plugin handles most things by default pretty well. There are several things like build variants & package name interpolation that were impossible with Ant, difficult with Maven, and are trivial with Gradle.

The intermediate level stuff is more of a mixed bag. Some tests work well with Gradle, others (like Robolectric) are more of a pain. The NDK support isn't worked out yet. Some of the more fringe plugins like code coverage and formatting aren't plugged in yet. Here you will probably have to understand a bit about Gradle, but the tools team is making progress fixing the issues. What was a problem 2 months ago just works out of the box today with no Gradle specific knowledge.

For advanced things like writing your own plugins, then you have to know the respective build system. I don't know Maven well enough to write my own plugins. I have written a couple Gradle plugins. I have one that uploads APKs at the end of the build to various distribution APIs, one for secure signing, and one for bumping the versions whenever I want to. It was pretty straightforward to figure out.
I remember following molleindustria games back in the day when they were flash-based. Thanks for sharing this (but fix your link, so that it gets a wider audience).

It's worth the transition.

Microeconomics is mostly mathematical poetry with a thin spread of real world applicability. You just try to make beautiful proofs and then give your axioms funny named like "free disposal" or such that are clearly not real life concepts. Very enlightening though if one likes math, which I do.
Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

Franklin was the equivalent of an open source purist. He was determined to uncover truth, better himself, and inform the world.

"I had form'd most of my ingenious acquaintance into a club of mutual improvement, which was called the Junto;… every member, in his turn, should produce ... queries on any point of Morals, Politics, or Natural Philosophy, to be discuss'd by the company;”

Hacker News might benefit from Junto policy, making members pay money for encouraging and destructive comments that are not in the spirit of inquiry.

"Our debates were ... conducted in the sincere spirit of inquiry after truth, without fondness for dispute, or desire of victory; and, to prevent warmth, all expressions of positiveness in opinions, or direct contradiction, were after some time made contraband, and prohibited under small pecuniary penalties."

Discussion in his Junto meetings led to volunteer fire departments, America’s first circulating library, and a school that became the Univ. of Pennsylvania. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junto_(club)
