The most impressive thing I've read about NASA's software development isn't mentioned here. It was the system where bugs and defects were (at least in principle) not treated as the failing of an individual but rather as a failing of the entire development process. So when a problem is found, the question isn't "Who did this and how can we punish them?" it's "What can we as a team do so that this never happens again?"

I don't know how this works in practice, but it sounds like a great system even when dealing with code in a lower-risk setting.
Here's the relevant section explaining that yes, income from a US company is just groovy for use with the Foreign Earned Income deduction:

http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/International-Taxpayers/Forei...

Source of Earned Income

The source of your earned income is the place where you perform the services for which you received the income. Foreign earned income is income you receive for performing personal services in a foreign country. Where or how you are paid has no effect on the source of the income. For example, income you receive for work done in France is income from a foreign source even if the income is paid directly to your bank account in the United States and your employer is located in New York City.
Tips and Tricks for Building JavaScript Apps in SharePoint
There seem to be several reasonable ways to address this kind of situation without requiring universal access.

One would be analogous to an ACL arrangement rather than simple ownership. Steam applications could be installed with Steam also having permission to access their resources.

A second possibility would be to have the operating system provide dedicated services for installing and maintaining software. We’re already heading in that direction on some platforms anyway, and it would be useful generally given the kind of security model I suggested. Then software like installers/updaters or package managers can do their jobs in a tightly controlled way, without needing any general access or introducing the accompanying security risks.

I believe this is because of the type of code they write. When writing real time systems you care about predictability of execution. When you allow function pointers, you (as a programmer / static analysis tool) suddenly have no idea what code will be executed, thus you can't reason about the time it takes. You could scour the codebase for all instances of code that set a particular function pointer, but then again it might be done indirectly, or - heaven forbid - based directly on external input. It makes code much harder to reason about.
This is all I saw.

The problem is really the redirection. The guiding principle of this document is wrapping every single functional block in a self-contained, statically-analyzable function.

If there is anything that pointers must be used for, then they must be used. But it is hardly controversial to say that pointers are one of the least-well understood and frequently misused aspects of low-level programming.

> First of all, you're making the assumption that our popular comics are popular because of sexualized content (i.e., no MJ with big tits = no one is gonna read Spiderman; doubtful).

No, I am not. I am pointing out there is a correlation between sexualized content and sales numbers in the US today. In fact, I've pointed out elsewhere that perhaps this is one of the reasons the US comic audience is so small:

The main titles have narrowed their focus even more compared to the 80's and are now overly sexualized and aimed squarely at men in a very narrow age bracket. It's worth considering in that context that their sales numbers in Europe have plummeted, and that most of the Marvel titles are now relegated to English-language imports in comic stores, whereas in the 80's and into the 90's they were translated into far more languages and did well in many other countries. E.g. growing up in Norway, I could buy Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, X-Men and Superman at least in translated versions in any grocery store, with additional ones popping up for shorter runs now and again. These days you only see shorter runs that survive on the hype around the movies now and again. Meanwhile comics as a whole are still doing well in Europe.

> Second: Japanese Manga. When you put it in perspective, a couple scantily-clad women, eh... could be a lot worse!

There's a lot worse in Europe too. The point is not that there are no sex in European comics - there are European comics that are outright porn - but that the extremely narrow focus of the mainstream part of the US comic market is a US peculiarity. Like Manga is a Japanese peculiarity. But as someone else has pointed out: Japanese comics stores too has a much wider variety - Manga aimed at adults is not nearly as defining for the Japanese comic market as Marvel and DC superhero comics are for the US.

From a European point of view, going to a US comic store is like finding a section of a comic store isolated by itself. You go through all of the superhero comics - with a few other things - and then you wonder "where are the other sections? Where's the comedy stuff? Where's the rest of the newpaper strip collections? Where are the westerns? Where are the rest of the serious graphic novels?" And yes: "where are the 'adult' - as in fully of nudity - comics?"

> You might want to dig up some of your old comics.

I have. It's exactly why I wrote what I wrote.

> It's because they're the only ones left reading comic books! Kids don't read them and don't care.

Maybe in the US.

A Big Data Use Case: Building a Big Data Repository
Forgive me, but what a stupid petition, presenting what is basically a consumer preference as a political claim! In my humble opinion, this does nothing but water down the potential significance of real petitions.
I thought it was worth reading, initially I had my doubts about the veracity of the claims by the person being interviewed, I imagine some of this is as much the writers fault as anything else.

Toward the end it provided some insights that I had not previously read anything about (e.g. broods), but maybe I haven't paid enough attention to the other cicada articles.

It seemed counterintuitive to me that in the interest of free information he hid the piece of software they worked on on the "darknet"... Surely given he has come out publically the sane thing to do would be to make it easily available and open source.

> I'm guessing Marvel, DC et al have done a lot of research over the years and found out yep, it's pretty much only males that read comic books.

When the vast majority of their output is targeting a mostly male demographic, and being sold almost exclusively in an environment that attracts mostly men, that may be so. But it is a situation of their own making by making their product offering so niche.

> are really only frequented by men because WOMEN DON'T CARE ABOUT COMICS

... in the US. Unsurprisingly, given that they mostly sell products not targeting women... in the US.

Basically, if they want to change that and widen their market - which is clearly possible - given that this is a US pecularity - they need to be willing to invest in it over time. Their alternative is to fade into irrelevance, given that they've managed to even lose a lot of the younger demographic too in the US.

Yes, you're quite right. As I understand it, drug discovery has special rules. The search space is large but not infinite. It involves the original drug compound in different "forms" such as crystal structures, particle sizes, counter-ion (whatever thingy attaches to the molecule and makes it soluble, etc.). The chemical effect of the drug in the body is the same, i.e., it bonds with the same receptor molecule in some cell somewhere. But changing those things can have a pharmacological effect such as the speed with which the drug is taken into the body, thus it is a different drug within the context of US and I believe European patent law, but I can't talk about India.

This could be a case of a bad decision in India, of course, but it also could be one where the patent examiners in US and Europe were more lenient than they should of been.

(Disclaimer: I helped work on equipment designed to assist in this kind of chemical searching).
A lot of people are trying to look at it just to find out what Krita is, which is putting a high additional load on their server. Hence the link to Wikipedia instead.

Yes, and I also agree that there are substantial unsolved problems in making such fine-grained systems practically useful for non-expert users.

I’d like to see the industry moving in that general direction, though. Even a much simpler model could bring real benefits relative to the status quo, where in application terms our current security model is analogous to everything being root.

Also, my understanding - not expert, likely wrong - is that it is sometimes done in physics (e.g analyzing data from sensors). But haven't heard any complaints (which does not mean they don't exist). Someone else would need to weight in as this is just supposition and hearsay :)
I wouldn't call that a mistake on your part; it's over-use of capitalization in the headline.
Actually, the use for that doesn't seem restricted to software in general. It seems like you could apply that to any team and get better results - for example, if a big sales deal falls through, don't punish the sales person, use the situation as a learning experience.

I try to do this with my team as much as possible. I am limited by my superiors, who don't hold the same beliefs about maintaining morale and intrinsic motivation.

Perhaps Uncle Bob is engineering for the real world and applying 10 as the factor of safety. Space flight engineering runs more thinnly along the envelop. With the JPL Standard's requirement that all functions validate every argument, one line per declaration, and two assertions on average per function, six lines will disappear pretty fast.

Uncle Bob is preaching software engineering as engineering to the heathen masses. The JPL Standards are a sermon for the choir. Uncle Bob doesn't, so far as I know, advocate C for all critical code.

> There are many disparities in work and academic effort, labor force participation, criminal propensity, IQ and career choice.

Let me get this straight: do you think that scientists have shown an innate, i.e. biological, disparity between Europeans and Africans that explains any significant portion of the effect we see in American society? Because if you do, you have either dramatically and tragically misunderstood some real research (showing non-innate disparities) -- because that never, and I repeat, never happened -- or accidentally stumbled on an article in KKK weekly (BTW, I sometimes read "scientific" research in Christian publications for fun; for example, did you know that the second law of thermodynamics forbids the spontaneous creation of life? I kid you not).

The only thing out of the list you provided that was not misinterpreted is IQ. It is well known that there is a group of real researchers (actually, just one or two people) who claim an innate intelligence disparity between races. They are very proud of their research that "uncovers" an inconvenient "truth", but the real truth is that the effect size they have reported is too small to justify further study -- let alone explain any observed disparity in the real world (when reading a statistical study, you should really look at the effect size; blacks and women are often underrepresented in jobs that provide power with an effect size of 5x or even 10x).

As to others -- showing differences, say, between boys and girls -- those papers assume you know something about power, and are far from saying what you think they're saying. In other words, other than IQ studies who show insignificant effects, those results you mentioned simply don't exist. And, as always -- when reading statistics look for the effect size.

> I guess given your voluminous command of the literature, you'll provide one?

One? How about a thousand, starting with those you yourself alluded to. Start Googling, you'll find them in seconds (I am sorry, but I will not link papers proving that blacks aren't naturally inferior to whites; and I know what you're going to say now: "inferior? I didn't say inferior -- I said different", to which I'll say go read on power in society).
Right now it's politically, legally, and technologically uncertain. The first two are affected greatly by the last one, so I think this is the correct order of operations.

Ouch. I can't speak for comics, as the only ones I've really enjoyed are Alan Moore comics which emphatically aren't suitable for children (Discworld is good, though), but plenty of sci-fi has high cultural value, IMO, in both TV and book form.

Star Trek: TNG, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Foundation, and many more show a lot about the human condition, teach the important concept that the future may be radically different from the present and we can shape it, and they are enjoyable to boot. Typically the newer sci-fi is either barely or not at all misogynistic (although 1950s-era sci-fi certainly is).

Old city centers often still have some vibrant street life, and in some places, particularly the shopping districts, cars are banned completely or at least strongly discouraged. Much of Amsterdam is far too narrow for two-way traffic, so often it's one-way anyway, and so bumpy and twisty that it's just not very practical for cars. These are places where you can still see people walking in the streets.

Some years ago, Netherland changed the default blame in car-pedestrian collisions back to the car. Even if you have right of way, if you hit a pedestrian, you're still at fault.

> However car ownership there is not as widespread as in the US due to a number of economic constraints (space cost, gas price, taxes).

Compared to the US, the primary difference is space. It's just hard to find a place to park a car in Amsterdam, and you can get everywhere in the city by bike or public transport (and why would you ever want to leave the city?). Outside the city, car ownership is much more common, and poverty becomes the primary reason not to own a car.

By the way, I once heard that 75% of New Yorkers also don't have a car. Again primarily because space is simply scarce in a city.

Just to put some context on "you have to learn a lot of Unix cruft that shouldn't be strictly necessary to get started" (andybak; my emphasis. I just did an intro course on Python - it's not my first programming and I'm pretty familiar with Linux command lines.

That said after much trial and error I settled on PyCharm - installation can be done using GUI tools (it's in Ubuntu repos) and you don't need to leave the PyCharm interface to run interactive programs.

Then there are things like iPython, IDLE (part of raspbian I believe). The whole course used a purpose-made browser based interpreter so one didn't have to install if you didn't want to.

I actually took the course as I was seeing Python crop up in educational contexts and wanted a jump start on my children.
