Its either debt jubilee time or admit the "higher ed magically provides a great job" was all a scam. When it comes to deciding between saving face and saving a buck, usually we save a buck, so I almost guarantee the proposed strategy will fail. So culturally we will momentarily see the death of "higher ed at all costs" as a gateway to a great job and all that propaganda.
Yes. People who respond to shortages of non renewable resources by saying, "I'm not concerned. Actual peak oil is 40 years further down the road than these people think it is" don't seem to grasp that that is not actually a lot of time.
I think there is a distinction between textbooks and literature. Reading the average novel on a Kindle or tablet is not hard or distracting... Reading a Statistics textbook is darn near impossible. This article spends a lot of time focusing on college students and textbooks/required reading.
Thant's true!

I can see the problem: wifi ad-hoc does not play well with a private DHCPs on every home.

But given that with ad-hoc all nodes (AP and devices) become part of mesh network, do we need a traditional DHCP?

Also, we need to have huge host network while having small broadcast domains .. not sure which class-type better fits
Chrome's first public release, which included multiprocess tabs, was on December 11, 2008. There has been more than enough time for Mozilla to catch up.
I am studying at Waterloo, I love Pebble and while this is exciting news, I wish they had made the screen's margins thiner. The watch looks like a toy and is certainly not on par (design-wise) with other watches on the market. I hope it will work well for them though!
Using FirefoxDevEdition with SPDY indicator shows me Google, Youtube and Twitter over HTTP/2.
I will agree for some books, mainly those for which the publisher has skimped and not made the effort to get the formatting right, have an active TOC, etc. But in general I don't agree. I am a huge reader with a very large library. I still love my physical books but for most of my reading I made the switch to a Kindle years ago and have never looked back. The advantages in convenience of purchase and access greatly outweigh formatting issues, imo.
Its also not been an especially popular skill to learn until the last 5 - 10 years I would say.

Its seems contradictory that the roles requiring years of experience (or they ought to) have JavaScript as the top skill. I would have expected an older less trendy language (like Java or C, or SQL) to be top in those positions.
There are places in the world (like here in Quebec, Canada) where the term "Engineer" is restricted. To call yourself an engineer, you have to be a member of the "Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec".

Another solution is to simply return false and leave the decision of what to do, to the caller. Effectively:

bool try_push(value_type& value);
bool try_pop(value_type* result);

Most callers will simply:

while(!try_push(&val)) bkoff();

However, in my specific case I was writing a toy thread pool. This meant that a failed pend could just result in an attempt to pend it to a different worker thread, instead of trying the same stack over again.

No questions, but fantastic post.
To tack on to this, we have government subsidies of oil and ethanol production in the US, specifically to keep the price of gasoline lower than what the market would clear on its own. Government, the one that our parent post supposedly wants to regulate limited resources to save more for the future, is actively encouraging consumption faster than normal.

The only case that I'm aware of in which government regulation has successfully protected a limited resource is the fishing fields of Iceland, and they fixed that issue by creating a system of ownership--i.e. capital--where there was only the commons before.
Hm, I'm going to guess that the Kindle is probably the most popular e-reader, and it has the ability to add notes, highlights and bookmarks, both with the hardware device and in the apps for tablets and computers. It also doesn't have the eye strain issue.

Actual remaining issues:

* complex layouts get messed up, as you mention

* it's not very easy to leaf through an ebook and to quickly jump from section to section

That said, I still read 90% of my course materials on my Kindle, Kindle app for OS X or Mendeley. For all its disadvantages, having a digital overview of all of your annotations is a godsend when doing research or studying for an exam.

For that same reason, I don't take paper notes anymore: while convenient, often they get lost, you can't search through them and you can't edit them.
the aversion to debt isn't occurring very fast considering that outstanding auto load debt is around 886 billion dollars. Credit card debt in 2014 was very similar, with an average of 7k per household.

when it comes to school debt the Federal government would be best served by limiting what it loans based on the education desired, as they set limits on what they pay out for medical services there is little reason to not do the same for education. It might even help reign in the ever increasing costs that colleges charge which in itself a property of easy loans
Not so sure about the general health of old people. Modern medicine keeps people alive, but working today's stressful jobs? I'm glad for your grandfathers, what kind of work did they do?
Small add here, but if you do decide to recruit some help, I might consider starting with your users. By "developer tool", I presume you mean a tool for developers. That means that you have a talented user base. Might not be a bad idea to post a message to your forum, or post a notification to your app, or email your users. I wouldn't phrase it as "I'm overwhelmed", but saying something like "This is a powerful tool supported by a single CS student, and I'd love to bring in some help to advance development and/or respond to user needs. Does anyone want to contribute to the project?"

Keep in mind that if this is your first time managing others, it will require some up-front investment of time. Managing people is difficult, but not impossible to become very good at. My advice for you at the outset is to be really clear and consistent about your goals, and to be open and honest with your community about the experiment you're undergoing. They'll give you a lot of credit for doing this as a student, and I think you'll find they have more patience than you think.

If stress becomes a problem, consider speaking with a professional about that (e.g., through your University), or practicing meditation and mindfulness. Good luck!

It exists for one reason and one reason only:

Because the professors, department, and college cause it to happen. They choose to assign a $150 textbook instead of picking something else, they choose to likely get kickbacks from the publisher (e.g. free lesson materials, free teachers edition, free grading, etc) and they choose to ignore their duty as guardians to educational access. They're sellouts.

Publishers and authors are designed to make as much money as possible. It is their legal and moral imperative. It isn't even the publisher who forced you to buy that $150 textbook, they didn't assign it, they didn't fail to include it in tuition, they just sold it in the open market.

I want John Oliver to do a bit on this topic. However as long as people continue to blame the publishers it will never get fixed. If people started [correctly] blaming the schools/professors/departments/etc and actually started to complain in that direction, things would change for the positive.

Think about who actually forced you to buy that book, and that is the answer for who you should be mad at. I'd honestly like to see legislation that forced public colleges and universities to include all books in the tuition, that way students can compare the relative cost because two classes (e.g. one assigning $150 books, and one assigning $50 books).

It's a bland gadget. I'm really not sure about that approach. It's so cheap and uninspired. Whatever you think about the overall shape of the Apple Watch, at least it's not a bland gadget. It seems to pay meticulous attention to all the micro details that make jewelry jewlery and not a bland tech toy. (Seems to because obviously no one has looked at it in detail. But first indications are good.) This one does not.

I'm really not sure why more smart watches don't try to be actual worthy jewlery. Pebble has this really cool and really functional tech, why not pack it into something worthy of being called a watch?

The reason a Virgin ticket from London to Birmingham costs 40 quid and has to be booked months in advance isn't just because beardy Branson likes money, it's also because there are a lot of people who want to travel quickly between London and Birmingham. (I did giggle btw)

They can charge more on lines which are popular, using cost as a form of rationing. That's completely contrary to "public" transport as I see it. I agree, there aren't enough trains. There isn't the capacity. And I can be certain that of the extra expense of the line Branson is only getting a cut (because he paid more for the right to operate that route).

I can't speak to increasing capacity because I know so little about the technicalities. I certainly don't imagine it's easy. I note at least one comment invoked the double decker carriages (which we don't do) as an example - but God knows what that would look like to implement.

I can totally understand someone not wanting Guildford though, and support any policy that helps them.

London contains the world's finest exploiters of financial regulations

I agree, but disagree that this is an argument for anything - I was merely stating a concept not anything that could be used as a basis for law. The obvious solution is to use business debt to cover the excess lever, thereby avoiding the problem. The fact is that as a first time buyer I cannot get a mortgage with monthly payments at 70% of my current rent. Yet if I rented it out for that rental income the maths changes and I can. There is a fundamental flaw somewhere and I don't believe that I should have easier finance - I think rental properties need to have harder terms.

Unrelated, sometimes I think the reason we get in such a mess is because people ostensibly like me become ministers, and with sod all depth of understanding proceed to fiddle with things for a few years and then move on...
It's unlikely that it is inaccurate by that much. The company would not want to show higher salaries either (resentment).

I have the opposite view for most of the items you've listed. I'm a millennial. I think that most of it boils down to two things: UX and sense of worth.

First, for UX, I find most e-formatted books to be terrible. Sure fiction is okay in such a format. It's linear. Start on page 1. Work through until end. Sadly, I don't read fiction (my wife gets on me for this). I read technical things. I read things that require a House of Pain level of Jumping Around. I get five pages into a a section then need to backtrack. E-books are terrible for this. It's because they suck on Kobo and other e-readers. The screens too small to hold the code information. Large screen e-readers for A4 style documents never really existed (in a reasonable price range) on an open platform. Many technical works are A4 PDFs. They don't work well on e-book readers.

I tried reading on two tables to get a better UX. The first was an HP flippy notebook. I read over 3,000 pages of IBM Red Books on Websphere Process Server and the old IBM MQ BPM whose name I'm forgetting. It wasn't terrible. A bit small because the resolution on the HP was lower than a modern laptop. However, it was 5-6 lbs. Crap was that tiring. So I got an iPad. Turns out that the resolution on that is too low for A4. Sure I can zoom. Sure I got GoodReader. Sure it was annoying when I tried to page through on a zoomed page. UX still sucks. Non-PDF tech books are better in iBook or the other readers available. I ran an experiment with Joy Of Clojure 2: The Clojuring. Not bad. Only worked inside. So I never got read at the beach (I moved to Florida to do that, amongst other reasons).

UX never worked for me. I hope for a day when an e-reader fits a full page of information comfortably in the screen with ability to quickly leaf back through pages without slow refresh rates. Until that day comes, physical, heavy books it is.

Second, I've come to the conclusion that I don't care for media. That isn't to say I don't use it. I do. Like crack. I sit on my sofa and do nothing but watch TV shows that I don't really care for, but it's easy enough to be motivated to just sit there. As a result, I don't pay for cable. I pay for Netflix and Amazon Prime (Prime more for the shipping, but combined with the streaming, I get my money's worth). I don't buy DVDs any more. I don't watch the ones I have (except for once a year watching the Harry Potter movies over a weekend). I just don't care. So Netflix is fine with me. Control what they want, but the media companies wouldn't have made money off me if they were open.

Media has almost no value to me. If my wife wasn't around, I'd get rid of Netflix (keep Prime, shipping to a small Florida town makes life better). From what I can tell through anecdotal observations, media is on the wane for most millennials. We don't philosophically care. That's why we're fine to rent access. It's not an asset. It's not an investment. It's something to do to distract and we've got phones with the Internet and its Tumblr and Facebook and Rock'em-Sock'em-Robots.
Not available on the Kindle?

How is that making your users awesome?
Have you ever considered providing someone a stake at your product / service? That way, people whom you would get will have in their mind that the success of your product / service will ultimately be good for their bottom line. Be transparent that you would not be able to provide a decent salary. But be sure that once the business model is thriving and growing, reward those people who've helped you and stuck with you during the the trying times.

Good luck.

The first Duc de Saint-Simon, father of the famous diarist, thought himself ill-treated in a history of the Fronde written by a Rochefoucauld (I think). He showed up at a bookstore, asked to see their specimen copies of the history, and commenced to write "The author of this book lies." in each of them. I don't suppose that the exhibition has one of these histories, but it would make for an amusing display.
That's a good idea after you've found one, but finding one in the first place is what the OP was asking.
I just sort of abstract over the specifics of the implementation of arrows and assume there is an arrow that denotes the 'kind' of arrow. Does it express a monotonic function (order preserving), does it express a non monotonic function (permutation of elements, ordering of computation of 'typical' threads).

It groups functional operations into kinds that you can make assertions about after a selection of the operations have been performed.

Haskell does -

add :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer

so the compiler can check all the branches of code to ensure that statement is invariant.

It's a bit disingenuous to claim that you shouldn't pay back any of the debt incurred in earning your degree because the educational program was worthless when you're still seeking a career in the field requiring that degree.

I agree she shouldn't have to pay all of the debt, but surely the degree isn't totally worthless.
The best exposition I've found for demystifying category theory is the first few chapters of Paolo Aluffi's Algebra: Chapter 0 [1]. The central emphasis is on universal properties, which I see most treatments for beginners de-emphasize or ignore (as these slides do). From my experience, universal properties are the main tool for unifying and abstracting concepts into the language of categories. Aluffi uses category theory to unify the treatment of groups, rings, modules, linear algebra, and then goes on to more abstract category theory. I have also written a bit on this [2], regrettably choosing ML as the language of implementation.

Since 38a (previous nightly) electrolysis e10s is enable by defualt IIRC. That's the main reason I favor Firefox instead of Chromium these days, since I'd love to provide them with automatic user feedback as much as possible. Multithreading isolates from crashes half the time, but some times everything will go down. Also there seem to be concurrent issues and threading overhead, for mundane page loading can become very very sluggish.
Hah. I totally agree. I personally dislike both Java and Javascript, also. Javascript was born brain damaged. Java had a chance, but it jumped the shark sometime in the early 2000's when J2EE took off.

> the aversion to debt isn't occurring very fast considering that outstanding auto load debt is around 886 billion dollars. Credit card debt in 2014 was very similar, with an average of 7k per household.

I can't pull up that data right now, but I remember reading (on here, no less) that most of that auto debt could be attributed to non-millenials.

Credit card debt is an excellent point, though I'm not sure how meaningful per household is in this context (part of the article is pointing out that a decent portion of millenials aren't forming their own households).

Remember that the oldest millenials are still in their early-mid thirties.

For the curious, the duplicate SSL cert issue is in regards to some buggy routers and wireless printers with broken firmware. They send out invalid SSL certificates. Firefox doesn't have a way to provide an exception to allow access when security is compromised in this way but the user doesn't care and wants to access it anyway.

The only reason tabs generally misbehave is if Flash crashes. Firefox separates Flash out to a separate process so it won't crash the browser, even the tab the crashed Flash plugin is in. It just takes it a few more seconds than I'd like to realize the crash. (You can adjust the timing yourself, though). I haven't had a non-Flash-related Firefox issue in a very long time.
Even Internet Explorer has been multi-process since IE8. All other browsers do it, except Firefox.
I heard it was an unmaintanable mess, that's why Mozilla added in-house devtools. I liked FireBug UX more, but I like that Firefox has metalevel coding/debugging capabilities out of the box (the smalltalk fan speaking).

> "There are few companies who share our dedication to excellence…"

Authy is one of the worst-designed iOS applications I have ever used. It has been this way for a very long time. They are actively hostile to people who try to criticize their poor design choices. I would not classify it as "dedicated to excellence."

CloudFlare forces me to keep it installed, so I have to interact with it on occasion. If you have more than about 3 services set up, you have to first scroll to expand the scrolling list of icons, then scroll multiple times to find and read the 10pt font name of a service, etc. It's awful. Compare it to Google Authenticator, which has a nice, big scrolling list of numbers and names. The one advantage Authy has is encrypted backup, which I like, and service lock-in, which annoys me.

Perhaps there's hope in somebody else taking over. Please, Twilio: prioritize _usability_.
