If I recall correctly, the grandfather of the current Zengoro was adopted. So since then, it's pretty much straight.
He showed me the pictures of his family. To his grandmother, who was "originally" Houshi, if you will, but not his biological grandmother, he refers to as "my grandma".

Houshi have a different understanding of family than we do. For them, "family" and "business" are the same thing. For example, the daughter never calls her parents by mom and dad while in the hotel, but by their titles (Okami and President)

[edit: got a bit confused who did what with grandma]

As long you want to study at a public university there are just tuition fees which have to be paid once per semester. How much you have to pay depends on the university, I'm currently studying in Osnabrück, Lower Saxony and here we pay around 280€. But the fees include a ticket for the local public transport and you get to eat a lot cheaper at the university restaurant.

Regarding living costs I would say I need around 500-600€ each month including rent. If you wanna study in one of the bigger cities you probably have to add another 200€ onto this.
Heh, I'm a computer science major to my core. Spoken like a CS major at a liberal arts school, I suppose.

I suspect we agree. If you could universally define "better life," you could quantify it. But you can't. We're also bad--really bad--at analyzing ourselves. Right now, I'd love to be spending 60 hrs/week programming and less time writing papers. But I bet I'll feel differently in a decade.

> And no. College is not optimizing its graduates for a better life. College, since its inception, has assumed that you came in with one.

I'm not sure what you mean. Higher education has become increasingly accessible to the economically disadvantaged, not less.

Also, here's Harvard College's mission statement:

> Harvard College adheres to the purposes for which the Charter of 1650 was granted: “The advancement of all good literature, arts, and sciences; the advancement and education of youth in all manner of good literature, arts, and sciences; and all other necessary provisions that may conduce to the education of the … youth of this country….” In brief: Harvard strives to create knowledge, to open the minds of students to that knowledge, and to enable students to take best advantage of their educational opportunities. To these ends, the College encourages students to respect ideas and their free expression, and to rejoice in discovery and in critical thought; to pursue excellence in a spirit of productive cooperation; and to assume responsibility for the consequences of personal actions. Harvard seeks to identify and to remove restraints on students’ full participation, so that individuals may explore their capabilities and interests and may develop their full intellectual and human potential. Education at Harvard should liberate students to explore, to create, to challenge, and to lead. The support the College provides to students is a foundation upon which self-reliance and habits of lifelong learning are built: Harvard expects that the scholarship and collegiality it fosters in its students will lead them in their later lives to advance knowledge, to promote understanding, and to serve society.

That's pretty damn well summarized as "we empower our students to lead better lives." We can argue over whether college comes close to achieving that goal, but I'm comforted by the fact that the stated mission at least aligns with my personal reasons for attending school.
This approach is fine until you try to include an IC in your design, at which point you have only an extremely limited version (if any) available for simulation.

I worked at a product design consultancy and saw a number of board designs come through the office. All of them had a prototype run of 3-6 boards, which ended up with one or two modification wires before a second, final, production run was done.

Then remove your video. If you're posting content to the Web, it's inherently downloadable. Most of us see that as a benefit.

1. I don't really care what you think.

2. You're not going to stop the vast majority of downloaders. Go study King Canute.

3. Video playback is vastly superior under local clients than in a Web app.

Controls are uniform, I don't have to deal with buffering, I can start/stop/pause without hunting for controls in different places in different GUIs, I can vary playback speed, have pitch adjust to speed, mute audio, etc., I can queue up several videos without hassling with browser tabs, and I don't have the problem of trying to track down which browser tab, in which window, on which desktop, is playing and/or making noise (it's far easier to find and track down my video player(s)).

While the Vimeo Web player is decent, it does a miserable job at starting/stopping and repositioning playback.

Most of what I download I delete immediately on viewing (or after a few seconds of playing). Some, yes, I keep. Most of it's for research purposes.

As it turns out, I skimmed through your video rather quickly with the sound off. Pretty, but frankly not all that interesting.

And you're pegging yourself as another creative who 1) I'd never have heard of before but 2) has identified himself as really not constitutionally suited to online realities.

This came up on electronics.stackexchange: http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/61873/why-is-...

My answer from there: "The "freedom to redistribute copies" and "freedom to modify" aspects of Free software really don't translate well to hardware. There is work and cost associated with copying a board, and much more associated with copying an ASIC (modified or otherwise). It's simply not going to be within the reach of the average user in the forseeable future.

Another factor is rapid obsolescence. Some of the open UNIX software is thirty years old; GCC is about 25 years old. Open hardware will generally have a shorter time before it starts looking horribly obsolete. This is especially true of all the things that people really want to be open: processors, graphics hardware, wireless interfaces.

(You could have an open replacement for e.g. the 555 or LM741, which would be more timeless, but what would be the point? How would it differ materially from the current ones?)

There is certainly scope for "community" hardware development, but that depends on having a stable, sensible community that can agree what it wants and is willing to pay for. Again, requires a lot of work."

You should try different things. Some people will find this blasphemous, but Node and Angular are a fad and possibly a nice-to-have skill, but actually not really extremely interesting to the point that not being motivated to learn that stuff can be considered extraordinary. I'm not motivated either, instead I'm dabbling around with robotics for the first time (got myself a Wild Thumper and a Raspberry Pi to control it...) and am doing more work around the house now. So many things to try and explore, find what suits you best and motivates you! Perhaps it's climbing, flying RC drones?

Depending on your exact requirements, you can use pg_shard [1] for real-time inserts/update/delete, or CitusDB [2] for scaling out selects, or combine them.

This code also constructs a std::string each time you do some logging.

Really, you need to be using a #define to call the logging function, one that goes a bit like this. You invoke it like printf. (I know some people hate printf, but I like it. Anyway, that's addressed below.)

#define LOG(LOG,...) \
do { \
extern LogData LogData_##LOG; \
if(LogData_##LOG.enabled) PrintToLog(LogData_##LOG, __VA_ARGS__); \
} while(0)

Then you use it, like, ``LOG(MyLog, "Hello: %d\n", n)''. You need another macro to generate the LogData_XXX variables with the right name and so on.

There are two advantages to doing it like this.

Firstly, the cost is minimal if the logging is disabled. This isn't so much to avoid the call to PrintToLog - though that doesn't hurt! - as PrintToLog would surely check the flag itself and early out at little cost. It's more to avoid having to evaluate the printf args. Say you're printing out 3 things, and each thing requires a function call - along the lines of ``PrintToLog("%d %d %d",f0(),f1(),f2())'' - then calling PrintToLog requires those 3 function calls to be made before PrintToLog is entered, even when the log is disabled. No good, especially if they're expensive.

The second - and one reason I've always done this printf-style rather than iostreams, though maybe iostreams-style would be doable, if you didn't mind some slightly funny syntax - is that you can strip all the debugging out with an alternative #define:

#define LOG(...) ((void)0)

This gets rid of everything, code and string literals. If your product won't have anywhere to put debug logs when it's running in the wild, or you're short on code/data space, or you just want to strip out certain types of message (you might have a VLOG for verbose debugging, for example, that doesn't want to be in the final product), then you can do that.

This particular package suffers from both problems, I think, as (based on a quick skim of the code) does the Google one mentioned elsewhere.

Other funds end up in various investment operations -- some are HFT, some are speculating in commodities or other real assets (stories of Goldman's operations in this area are interesting), some ends up chasing tech opportunities -- it's one of the few economic sectors offering much promise. Though I suspect a lot of it's overrated.

Most present "investment opportunities" strike me as quite ephemeral, though the volatility may allow for gains for the extremely astute. Or lucky.

For any decent scale project hardware costs (chips, PCBs, assembly, conenctors) shadow developement costs. While in software it is appropriate to have large libraries/frameworks with batteries-included, in hardware it is much cheaper to stitch together custom solution out of very specialized circuits.
Just from looking over the source for a moment, I had a few questions/points:

* Why doesn't the put() method have a parameter for the payload? Sending a PUT with headers only is .... uncommon to me.

* How can I use this to test my JSON-based API? The $postData on post() requires an array, so I cannot put in my pre-encoded JSON payload. Maybe just remove the typehint?

* prettyPrintJson() could use a version-switch and use JSON_PRETTY_PRINT in PHP 5.4+ -- results should look similar.

I'll keep this in mind, could come in handy when testing the next API ;-)
Local vendors keep the money circulating around the local community in the form of wages, rent, and profits. So yes, they're good for a community.
Depending on the software, testing in new environments and adding information about this, e.g. testing server software under current distributions. If you get user reports about this, there isn't even a need to do the tests yourself.

Maybe clearly say in the README: "This project is considered stable and therefore has less activity, but is not abandoned. I promise to remove this notice if this ever changes."
Going to college/university with the primary motivation of getting a job/career in some field seems like the more pragmatic attitude[1]. Going to college/university solely in order to learn and broaden your horizons seems like an upper class mentality. Which is fine, if you actually are upper class or have the equivalent funds. If you don't, it might be less than ideal.

[1] Of course this can be taken to its extreme, i.e. greed and overt status seeking.
Maybe you're onto something, OKCupid has a better track record as the method is actually based on some type of observable patterns. :)
It's pretty hard to answer your specific questions.

1. I guess the living standard in dorms really depends on the city. And even where I live the standard is very diverse between the different dorms. Also the rent mainly depends on the city. I would suggest to get in touch with the university of your choice and ask those specific questions regarding the living situation there.

2. How much you can earn is also really specific. I guess you can expect a pretty good hourly fee as long as you can find a employer who speaks english. I have no idea how the market for english speaking programmers is. Your best shot is probably to work as a freelancer over the web.
It only works in software because most don't pay a dime for what they use, except for the computer itself.

When money comes into the picture it always fails down as pure model.

This is also why most successful open source projects are coupled with SaaS, consulting, trainings, books, certifications, hardware. All areas where software is not the main product.

> Microsoft writing a LINQ provider for PgSql is a great thing for running .NET code on non-Windows platforms.

I've heard nothing of this kind with respect to npgsql, which is the current .NET provider for PostgreSql. Microsoft has never spent a minute on EF support in Npgsql, so that they bother now is a first. The thing is that to support EF in npgsql (or any other ADO.NET provider), the ADO.NET provider has to contain a command interpreter which interprets the command trees coming from EF's linq provider, and which are then to be used to create SQL statements. This isn't simple at all, and as the command trees change with EF7, it will be a struggle for MS to get a lot of ADO.NET providers support EF7 at the start.

Microsoft's only great linq provider is the one in Linq to Sql: it is able to handle a tremendous amount of edge cases. The thing with linq providers is that a general linq provider gets you only that far: a tremendous amount of cases are 'special cases' which have to get their own path to get from the expression-tree to specific sql. e.g.: ctx.A.Select(a=>a.B.Cs);. This gives a set of sets of C instances. To do this, you have to know at the materialization side which C rows belong to which set (as you have to group them by B, which isn't in the projection). Linq to Sql has a specific piece of code for this, it produces a specifically grafted SQL query which contains an extra column so the materializer can know which C rows to group together. EF doesn't, it obtains a big joined soup.

Irony is that EF7's linq provider will be built on Relinq, which is also the base of NHibernate's linq provider, and they didn't re-use the Linq to sql linq provider, which is kind of odd, considering linq to sql's is pretty db agnostic.

Writing a linq provider isn't simple btw. It took me a full year full time to write the one for LLBLGen Pro.
It could also be genetics.

For instance, we know that people that are taller and more attractive are more likely to be promoted.

Likewise intelligence is also partially inherited.

It could be that their parents genes give them traits which are commonly high-status.
I like your approach but how are you going to differentiate yourself from existing testing sites?
I was in a similar situation a year ago. Two things fixed my problems:

I took a course on Linear Algebra (Bretscher's book up to chap 9) and a Probability course (Ross' book up to chap 6) and did very many problems by hand on paper. I just finished a ML course (Bishop's book, and Jordan's book), mixed grad+undergrad, which was 80% problems w/ pen and paper and 20% code up something algorithmically trivial but mathematically challenging, and don't think I would've been able to pick up the additional math along the way without these two great books and their many exercise problems behind me.

I read layman's explanations of ML concepts a year ago, and got nowhere in terms of my own implementation+debugging/improvement upon established techniques. Now I can solve problems I saw a year ago and thought "no one can do this."

My advice is to take the gateway drugs first, Probability (Ross <- I love this book!) and Lin Alg (I like Bretscher much better than Strang, but not everyone agrees with me :) Take a course in real life (for a grade and a transcript) at a competitive university if possible, nothing makes you study thoroughly like a gun to your head.
