One strategy is to say "You seem frustrated." Another is "You're reading too much into this."

There's so much wrong with a culture of aggressive arguing it's hard to know where to start but consider this: we've got plenty of research that tells us that women are disproportionately disliked if they act in an aggressive manner. Men, on the other hand, are often seen as being "winners" or "leaders" with _the same behaviour_. So you're de facto running a misogynistic culture by promoting this behaviour.

And if there's much better ways for your firm to win than be more aggressive than your competitors. There's serving your customers for a start.
>Search "golang full text search

I have. The problem is picking one that is mature enough and will be supported for years as you can expect ElasticSearch to be, which is what I meant by "an alternative".

I agree with you about the future looking bright but I meant something you could use right now.
>>Second, men are conditioned to be more competitive towards women than men. In studies on boys and girls in gym class, boys try harder in competitive foot races against girls versus their male peers [ 10 ].

these are 2 different races. In the first case a boy runs to avoid shame. In the second - to win. The second is a real competition, while the first isn't even a race really, more just like running from a bear.

Middle years!? How long are these "middle years" supposed to last? I'm 22 years into my career and there's no way I've hit the mid point yet. It still feels like a joke to have a job title with the word "senior" in it.
Yes. But the "void *" everywhere code would take just a portion of the space, as for every different type, you would be duplicating the code.
A recent econtalk podcast (http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/03/david_zetland_o.htm...) discusses the feasibility of using desalination to cover California's water usage. Basically, one desal plant is a drop in the ocean compared with demand.

> How would that work? I fear the teacher would need to bring another device or pull out their phone, distracting the lecture.

How is using a phone/tablet for this purpose any more distracting from the lecture than using a paper + writing instrument + writing? A mobile device isn't going to get in the way than keeping an attendance sheet on a desk/podium/clipboard and using that.
In case anyone is interested we've been able to do this for quite some time for TEM and SEM. One big breakthrough for EM lately was the ability to use direct detectors to look at frozen samples for tomography. With these techniques we can now reconstruct things like ribosomes all the way down to their atomic structure [1]. We used to have to use crystallography for this.

Why I donated $359.88 to Inkscape
Totally true. We didn't do a great job in this case. At the end, programming can be summarized in two words: interfaces and abstractions.
There are plenty of systems where errno is #define'd to a more complex expression in order to provide per-thread errors. From glibc's bits/errno.h on Linux:

# ifndef __ASSEMBLER__
/* Function to get address of global `errno' variable. */
extern int *__errno_location (void) __THROW __attribute__ ((__const__));

# if !defined _LIBC || defined _LIBC_REENTRANT
/* When using threads, errno is a per-thread value. */
# define errno (*__errno_location ())
# endif
# endif /* !__ASSEMBLER__ */
#endif /* _ERRNO_H */

I wouldn't expect it to be common to see a macro with parameters being an lvalue, though. It wouldn't phase a C++ programmer, since references make it possible and even idiomatic to return lvalues. Where you normally see this is:

x["foo"] = "bar";

is just syntactic sugar for

// operator[] could be any "normal" function name!
x.operator[]("foo") = "bar";
Have you tried Aldi?
"dismal" - that's an absurd word to apply to an organization that has successfully enabled humanity to explore the solar system over the course of a short 50 years.

There is plenty to Monday-morning quarterback, but "dismal" is not the word I would ever use.
> Given this study, do you think it is more reasonable a) to think this competition extends to other spheres, or b) to think that it does not.

Just following along with you guys. B is another claim because it is not disbelief, it is a negative claim:

> b) to think that it does not.

Maybe you misinterpreted it on reading, but it's very clearly not simply disbelief, it is rejection. Neutral disbelief (read: skepticism) would be to take neither position a nor b.
I think the market is right for a national chain that serves real deal Texas [1] barbecue. Rudy's [2] may be that chain but their expansion still seems really slow. I guess it's just tough to grow pitmasters in new places and still keep the quality up. Rudy's quality is nowhere near as good as Franklin (which is about as good as most of the well-regarded South Central Texas places) but Rudy's has figured out the distribution game enough to expand outside of the Leon Springs, TX joint where it all started. When I moved from Texas to Colorado Springs, I was surprised to find that there was a Rudy's in town and it was always busy. Really busy, like 50-100 person lines at lunch.

Perhaps they will follow In-N-Out's trail and keep up a slow expansion.

There's pretty lucrative incentives for adjusting landscaping to reduce water consumption - I grew up in the Palm Springs area (which, ironically, is one of the few parts of California that can water itself - the golf courses have to buy their water from outside sources, but there is a large aquifer out there), and there's been a major move towards desert landscaping to take advantage of it.
She also completely misrepresents both engineering and psychology. She claims that the consequences for lawyers are big if they lie, but for engineers it's the wild west. This is just asinine - in engineering, if you lie and cheat, you may well end up with human lives on your conscience.

Yes, any stock options or compensation tied to stock price should account for these effects of repurchases. (Ask any lawyer / accountant how to do it, it's not magic.)
The problem with advanced type systems is that, while the theory and implementations and the research might be mature, it will take god-knows how many years of research oriented on usability in order to get something approachable and understandable. If people are even researching usability like that in a systematic manner (I have my doubts whether there are PL researchers that are working on that kind of thing, or if the community has just thrown their hands up and said that it isn't doable).

Disclaimer: I haven't actually used them myself. YMMV.
I don't really see this distinction made clear anywhere in the article -- just analogies drawn to externally-mediated arguments. And to what extent it's made I think it's inaccurate to describe all arguments' violence in terms of a third party's actions. Many arguments without an external mediator are sane, deliberate and productive.
Mathematically perfect provided the proposition you're verifying is actually relevant and consistent with the one you're applying in the real world. Given the finicky nature and constraints of the environments that most software runs on, this could prove difficult. Moreover, the proofs must be maintained along with the software.

As for type systems, mission-critical software has generally made good practice with them (Ada, proof checkers, etc.) More so than consumer and enterprise circles. Yet a ton of catastrophic bugs have been the result of errors outside the scope of type checking, and as a counterpoint, our telephony is pretty robust with dynamically typed Erlang switches. It seems that mechanisms for building self-healing and concurrent systems are often put aside and equivocated solely with strong type systems. From what I recall, Erlang's signature feature of hot code loading actually conflicts with static typing.
>An argument is the use of aggressive opposition to weed out weak logic, keeping the strongest ideas possible. The philosophy behind using arguments for problem-solving is that attacking the weak parts of an idea will leave the best solutions. The metaphor for argument in our culture is war. We think of people we argue with as opponents, we attack their position and defend our own, we can gain or lose ground, and ultimately we can win or lose arguments—just like battles [1].

the author probably has no idea about some wrestling and in general war strategies. In many cases you don't need to aggressively attack the opponent. Just let him fall using his own impulse and under his own weight... you can even help him by adding to his impulse (like in many cases in judo :) In corporate environment - just let the opponent develop his great idea in details, ask helpful questions about inter- and intra- component integration, performance, suggest the opponent do quick POC demonstrating all these great characteristics of their idea ...

The procedure is different enough that there are meaningful substantive differences even though that may be the closest equivalent in American terms (it seems, though, that its really not, and the state he is in is more like someone who is both an uncharged suspect and subject to arrest as a material witness.)

I overstated a bit. Onsight (climbing term for doing a route the first time and without getting information from others) free solo does happen (and Honnold does it occasionally), but is a rare exception and done on routes that are yet again more grades below the climber's skill level than for "normal" free solo, and sometimes people take along protection to use in an emergency.

The essential principles remain the same: never do a move you're not absolutely certain you can finish, and never climb to a point where your stamina is insufficient to either finish or climb back to a safe resting place. For an onsight route, the two combined mean that you must always be able to climb back because you might encounter a situation where you have no certain moves forward.
Both programmers should have headsets and talk with each other.

There's a sentiment in the article I see a lot that keeps coming up these days: "NASA sent a spaceship to the moon with something 100x slower than my computer, so why does it take so long to load a page"?

I think it's entirely unjustified. What makes modern software engineering difficult is that it's one of the few engineering disciplines where not only are you making a Boeing 747 fly, and all the parts were made by different people in different locations, but you're also replacing the engine in flight!

Also the specs on the parts are kind of spotty. They weren't agreed upon by a single group of people, and they certainly weren't decided by you. Some of the parts are decades old. There are parts in there that are older than most of us!

Often, the parts decide to change how they work. They don't ask you whether they should. Sometimes, also, the parts decide to disappear. It's up to you to figure that out.

In fact, there aren't really specs on how the parts go together, come to think of it. None of the people who are building this are talking to each other. You could say that most of it is kind of emergent. There are no top-down quality controls.

There are layers upon layers of abstraction, and no one knows all of it. No one even knows most of it. In fact, most people don't care about any of it other than a cubic centimeter of their own few layers.

And it works - by golly it works. And a person with no training can absentmindedly navigate all this by flicking their finger about while walking down the street and drinking their coffee. IMHO, this is a miracle in proportions that are indescribable. The moon landing really was nothing compared to this. So yes, there's some overhead involved in getting that to work. :-)
Does the microscope care about probabilistic densities? Aren't these images rendering interference/difference between electrons sent out and electrons received?

Those 'particles' supposedly were in the space and interacted with the electron beams. They were or weren't in a place at a time.

In wave particle-duality, how are we not just suggesting particles are there because it creates an estimate model that helps model behaviors observed?

In the facetted nano-diamond void, why, in the void, do we see apparent 'ghosts' of the lattice in the void? Are there particles there or not? If there are, why are they dim?

If your answer is b), what evidence
do you have to support this?"

There's really one issue here. Budget.

You want two pairs of eyeballs on everything as you write it? Okay. Pay two guys.

You want complete test coverage? Okay. Can take as long as writing the code itself. Maybe more.

You want full documentation? Okay. Guy can't spend as much time on coding.

You want new APIs to be included? Okay. Guy's got to read docs and try samples. Less time.

What I've seen is you always end up with someone noticing that you could just spend all your time coding, and you would still produce an output that was ok. At least for small projects, or the start of large ones. It's as if there's a true productivity that's much lower than the imagined, and whoever is setting priorities doesn't notice it. He only sees code that's been written. He doesn't see technical debt. He doesn't see when a test catches a budding error. He doesn't see what that second pair of eyes is for. He doesn't know why you're always reading about some new thing.

It sounds like you're talking about the Medicaid "donut hole." The ACA intended for states to expand Medicaid to cover the poorest Americans, but thanks to an unexpected supreme court challenge many Republican-controlled states opted not to expand Medicaid, putting a lot of people into the catch 22 of making too much to qualify for the existing Medicaid program, but not making enough to qualify for the new Obamacare subsidies. It's a crappy situation that's being rectified little by little as those states are cutting deals with the Obama administration.

Here's how you can hack the system, though. The IRS (who's in charge of enforcing the subidies) has determined that there's no penalty if you end up making less money in a year than you had estimated that you'd make. So if you make $20k per year, but you need to make $25k to qualify for a subsidy, you can just enter $25k at healthcare.gov, and you'll get the subsidy. If you end up making less than that when you submit that year's taxes, you won't be penalized, and you won't have to give the subsidy back. IANAL, etc.

I don't know Haskell, so there wasn't anything in my head. I basically know the ML subset of OCaml and I guess Haskell, and that doesn't really apply at all to the top K problem.

I was saying that OCaml was awkward for this problem, and the reply was that OCaml is but Haskell isn't. I'm not convinced after seeing the Haskell code. Python is both semantically and syntactically a better fit for that
problem.
I may do that in coming weeks if my current experiments work out.

The DataFrame is an evolution of the RDD model, where Spark knows explicit schema information. The core Spark RDD API is very generic and assumes nothing about the structure of the user's data. This is powerful, but ultimately the generic nature imposes limits on how much we can optimize.

DataFrames impose just a bit more structure: we assume that you have a tabular schema, named fields with types, etc. Given this assumption, Spark can optimize a lot of internal execution details, and also provide slicker API's to users. It turns out that a huge fraction of Spark workloads fall into this model, especially since we support complex types and nested structures.

Is the core RDD API going anywhere? Nope - not any time soon. Sometimes it really is necessary to drop into that lower level API. But I do anticipate that within a year or two most Spark applications will let DataFrames do the heavy lifting.

In fact, DataFrames and RDDs are completely inter-operable, either can be converted to the other. This means that even if you don't want to use DataFrames you can benefit from all of the cool input/output capabilities they have, even just to create regular old RDDs.

Man. If there was ever a guy I feel awful for, it's moot.

Maybe awful isn't the right word, but sympathetic for.

Short of doing something incredibly brilliant in the future (which I wouldn't put beyond him), his life will be summed up as "the creator of 4chan" for quite some time to come.

He's a fairly well-known guy with a decent amount of celebrity to him, but it sounds like 4chan was overall a net negative for him monetarily. Further, 4chan is summed up as an incredibly hateful place to many people, basically "the worst part of the internet." His name is synonymous with that for likely the rest of his days.

Sure, it's earned him some credibility in the tech community and he can likely leverage that into something great if he really wants to - though it sounds like he wants to take a break from that for awhile.

I live in NYC and I've seen moot a couple of times in the past couple years. Both times he was doing something mundane like waiting for the train, and every time he was surrounded by what were clearly a group of anons asking him questions. Every time he seemed a little uncomfortable, like he was too polite to admit that he had grown out of 4chan and its community.

I imagine his personal life is a semi-constant reminder that he'll never be able to escape from 4chan, even by resigning. Lots of people will continue to associate him with the severe outbursts of hatred that stemmed from 4chan occasionally. Lots of anons will continue to encircle him while he's waiting for the 1 train.

I don't know, maybe I read too much into it. Or maybe I didn't and that's why he wants to go do something far removed from the internet.
It indeed begs the question and the concept of "helpless state" in which the law talks about. I am not sure that there exist any precedence, as I think the law that this would normally trigger has so far only address situations when a person is in a helpless state because of drugs or mental status.
