I'm a mid-career guy that has lived in 3 countries and work across 20+. I've done time in London and can thoroughly recommend this. Amazing cultural history, you'll be fine only knowing English and its a great hub to travel from.

Asia could be interesting as an up an coming world but personally I'd not like to live somewhere like Shanghai/Beijing/Delhi. It's amazing to visit but it's just too polluted and too mercenary for me. If you are keen on Asia, Singapore is worth having a look at and while I've not spent time in Tokyo I've heard largely good experiences.

I'm in Australia now but wouldn't recommend this if you're looking to get maximum career experience. We remain a bit insular to the rest of the world, of course the right company will be the exception as I have now but I wouldn't expect this. You're more likely to have valuable career experiences in Europe/Asia.

No, but "set -u" does help the bash programmer to reject incorrect bash programs and to put "test" where necessary, just as the Haskell compiler helps the Haskell programmer.

Perhaps the Haskell compiler helps more. Perhaps Haskell programs are more likely to be correct. Perhaps. There is only one way to find out.

> It's just that one is safer than the other by design.

What do you mean by this? Is this a deductive claim, contradicting the previous sentence, or an inductive claim that Haskell programs are "more likely to be correct" (all else being equal), which requires empirical evidence, as you cannot establish an inductive claim with deductive arguments.

There's actually a constraint that no blue circle can be alone, which you can find by reaching an end board with a solitary blue that the game will prompt you about. So X red and Y blue would be well-determined.

However there does appear to be another constraint that is not mentioned explicitly, which is that there are no blue circles that are not in line-of-sight with a numbered circle.
I'm curious, is it just as expensive to have someone produce a transcript of a video, vs. captioning it? Because I'm having a hard time coming up with the 60 dollars per hour or more figure. Lets say you slow down the video (using one of the techniques that doesn't alter the audio pitch), so that it matches your typing speed. Then you can transcribe it in "real time" (i.e., without having to stop, back up, and restart the audio). And it would easy to have the software record timing information (if the transcription is done real time).

So slowing down the video to half speed, means a half hour video takes an hour to transcribe. At a labor cost of $15.00 per hour, that is 25 cents/minute of video. Much less if it is off shored.

Edit: Would it be helpful if Google added a captioning interface to YouTube? That is, an adjustable playback speed (which they have now, but I'd like to see more speed levels), and a capture window where users (volunteers) could provide captioning of any video, including educational ones.
One time when discussing existential theories with a friend, I asked him which he was partial to, and he replied:

As much as I enjoy thinking about existential matters, I suppose there's a certain solace to be had in ignoring them entirely.

I don't even have any reports, and I'm making 5 times what I was making as an adjunct and barely scraping by, and I don't have to deal with undergrads who would rather squeak by than actually learn the material they're being certified in. I have my MBA, but I'm quite pleased to work with people who have their bachelors in philosophy. Disturbed is a good word. Certifiably insane might be a better phrase to use. The real world can actually pay the bills. If you're not being appreciated financially by academia, go where you are. If you still want to deal with undergrads after putting in an honest day's work, there's plenty of demand for adjuncts to teach night classes.

You're missing the big trend. In addition to the availability of DIY hardware and more ways for patients to find each other and communicate, other developed or developing countries are approving treatments before the FDA. The size of the US market still holds back medical research, but at some point in this century, the size of the "early adopter" markets with sufficient buying power will be big enough that it won't matter.

Signed, one American Type 1 diabetic who is tired of the FDA letting us die by keeping the best tools out of our hands.

P.S. If an analogy helps you, think about how music piracy ended up giving us Spotify, and how it had to come from Europe to break into the US market, and how it blocked Americans to avoid getting shut down in its early days. Or, think about how Jobs essentially tricked the labels into allowing iTunes. The traditional record label publishing model is analogous to the FDA's drug trial model. The FDA can make any number of arguments about how their method is more rigorous and beneficial, but at some point, newer methods of getting similar results are coming along, and at some point after that, those methods will be backed by a power with the resources and inclination to bring the benefits of rigor to the new methods without resorting to the old methods.
The US pharmaceutical industry is too wealthy for that to be workable. The game is to make friends while working at the FDA, and then to cash in. In order to serve the public interest, drug discovery and testing ought to occur in academia. The pharmaceutical industry should play no role in that, and should merely manufacture approved drugs.

I don't mean that everything that speaks HTTP2 speaks HTTP1.1 definitionally; I mean that, literally, every web browser and web server currently coded to speak HTTP2 is also coded, by duplication of effort, to speak HTTP1.1, and nothing offers an "HTTP2-only" mode of operation so far (nor, I doubt, will anything any time soon.)

That last isn't defined explicitly. It's an emergent property from the constraint that the solution must be unique.

Any blue circle (or any linear group of them) that is not in line-of-sight with a numbered circle would have no constraint preventing it/them from being red instead. Therefore the solution wouldn't be unique, so such blue circles can't exist.

Doesn't that depend entirely on the queuing and session mapping algorithm? If you profile for bandwidth-per-source-ip, shouldn't that apply exactly the same restriction regardless of how many connections are started?

Yes, Sriracha is actually cheaper than the generics I see. The generics try to sell a smaller size bottle for a lower price but $/ounce it's more expensive.

Say, does anyone know if there is any open source software that would do this (or for that matter, any software that isn't ridiculously expensive)? Years back, I ran a workshop (applying group theory to understanding magnetism) and we recorded it. We got releases for the videos and have the bandwidth to put them on the web for free, but I believe that I have to have them subtitled in order to release them online. So, if people have asked for the videos in person, I've given out copies, but they're not generally available...Automation does seem to be the answer here...

The FDA's actions in this case are understandable. Proving that CNS drugs work is a huge pain in the ass and the FDA knows this. There is a huge placebo effect (that is interestingly increasing over time) and the our tools to measure depression frankly suck (too subjective). Yes, a number of antidepressant trials failed to show efficacy. However, a few of the trials did show improvement. The FDA decided that allowing patients access to a potentially helpful therapy (antidepressants do help some patients) is better than just pulling the product off the market.

As for the suicide risk, again, there is data to suggest that antidepressants can increase the risk of suicide. However, that data isn't cut and dry. Over the last few years the FDA has actually loosened it's warning since the data is in question. Note that the FDA required all of these drugs to have a black box warning stating the risk of suicide (the most strict warning any drug can have).

Producing and testing drugs does not result in a binary outcome (drug good/drug bad). What the FDA does is look at the risk/benefit and makes a decision on that. Frankly I think they do a pretty good job at it.

It's true that Turing complete languages are (almost by definition) equivalent for writing programs of type "Nat -> Nat".

You're right - I didn't see the private correspondence - Bryan certainly never mentioned it before now.

I certainly don't feel ashamed about calling out the bullying behaviour of Joyent. It's never ok to call someone an arsehole on a company blog about a competitor's employee, let alone call on his sacking. And who knows what the content of that nasty note was - perhaps he called Bryan an arsehole, perhaps he said that he thought that the change was rubbish, maybe he was passed off that the change wasn't discussed, maybe he thought that it was gasp a beat up, or maybe he swore at Cantrell for being a jerk?

Whatever it was, it's irrelevant. It's not the approach an open source leader should take, it certainly didn't concubine anyone about gender neutral language, it was hostile, ungracious, gave Ben Noordius no way of graciously apologising (had he wanted to) and it led to unnecessary schisms in the project.

All up, Bryan looks like a bully, Joyent look pompous and overbearing, the reasonable debate about gender equality is obscured by the abusive language and tone of the post, Ben Noordius appears to have been wronged, and a nuanced debate about gender neutral language is rather appallingly sidetracked by a man who uses dominant and crude language to ram his pint across - most likely due to political and personal reasons.

> If you're looking to build something that people will actually use

Why bother? I mean, at some point some bigger "name-brand" language is going to take your feature and subsume it anyway. Why compete for mindshare?

If you really have an idea for some new language semantics, then skip the whole syntax phase: express your language as a DSL in another language you already know, use that DSL to write programs and libraries, and see if it helps you compared to not using the DSL. The great thing about this is that you can still rely on all the features and libraries of the parent language while you're doing this! Your DSL only gives you the option of using the new, extra semantics you wanted to test, where and when it adds a benefit.

Now, of course, this might not work if your idea is for a reduction in or purification of semantics—if, merely by having the option of "calling through" to the parent language, the value of your language semantics is destroyed. But if it's just an idea for a feature? Building an interpreter and defining a grammar and create a whole new ecosystem around it is putting the cart before the horse.
How did the MPAA/RIAA and its members became so horrible in the first place?
My understanding is that every Japanese adult has their own Koseki Touhon. So I don't think you join the Koseki, but my understanding maybe incorrect. Children are registered on their parents Koseki. Marriages are also registered. When a name change occurs, this is also registered on the Koseki, but adult individuals retain their own Koseki's.

Foreigners can only be "noted" in a Koseki, they can't have their own, or be registered in, a Koseki.

This is my understanding, but I find the whole thing a bit confusing and am hoping someone will set me right where I'm incorrect.
