> The mission of programming language designers should be to help programmers do their jobs better, not design something elegant/interesting/powerful/expressive/[buzzword]. Those things are all good, but only in the service of programs with fewer bugs and shorter time-to-market.

That may be true for programming language designers, but I'm afraid you misunderstand what CS is all about. Hint: it's not about time-to-market. The job of CS is to explore the theory -- precisely how to do something in interesting/elegant/expressive ways. Its job is to explore the theoretical and practical underpinnings of computing; to provide proofs; to explore the abstract and formal systems behind software. CS is not necessarily directly applicable to enterprise software (though of course CS research does have practical applications; and of course there is overlap between theoretical and practical computing).

A lot of cognitive dissonance comes from people who look at CS thinking it's what they need in order to write software.
So if you admit that EA releases buggy, unfinished games and has a tendency to not be able to handle large influxes of users on launching products why would a critique of a framework for an online service (of which they have a TERRIBLE track record with) be unfair?

Your comment seems to contradict itself and needlessly defend EA. No one should be defending this company. Good for them for "giving something back" but I doubt their motive is honest charity.

It's inexcusable. They choose to accept the money for manufacturing without imposing environmental regulations. The only way people will pay for protection of the environment is if it's priced into the market. China does not care to price it, and that's why we are where we are.

They definitely turn their head the other way and even actively bury environmental issues. Look what happened with the smog station on top of the US embassy. They told them to take it down because they didn't like their citizens getting real air quality data.

As the issues described in TFA make clear, the verifier really should know the algorithm in order to verify completely. However, since this format allows various algorithms, the algorithm must be recorded somewhere, especially in the public-key scenario when the verifier is probably not the signer.

As a card carrying condescending know it all, I am obligated to point out that Lisp allows extending the programming language with new vocabulary easily and with new syntax relatively easily. Whew...now that that's out of the way, I can get on with what I really wanted to say.

From a natural language standpoint, I have found J [1] particularly interesting. Kenneth "not Alan" Iverson [2] extended and refined the the ideas he developed for APL [3] and mapped it onto the ASCII character set. Like APL, J is built on a grammar of nouns, verbs, adverbs, etc. with the idea that the labels for the language's parts map reasonably to their counterparts in natural language (for some definition of "reasonably").

One of the great things about J is it's documentation. Originally a commercial product, J's documentation includes great tutorials and primers that someone was paid to write (as opposed to produced instead of doing the coding they love).

"I think many developers (myself included) are easily seduced by new technology and are willing to burn a lot of time rigging it together just for the joy of tinkering."

Part of the problem is the jobs market.

I have been developing database applications for 12 years. Now many of teh jobs that I would seem suitable for want "experience in MongoDb" or "NoSQL skills" (whatever the hell that means - inability to design a schema?). I haven't used those because I have read up on them and decided they were not suitable for any use cases I have. I have used MySQL and Postgres successfully with billions of rows. I know when these new technologies might be useful.

If I need schema-less / JSON stores, I'll use Postgres. If I need things that won't fit onto one server easily then I'll look again at the NoSQL tech that is available and evaluate from there.
For me, hackathons served these purposes:

* learning how to get an app (MVP, if you will) up quickly

* challenging myself to implement an app in a language/framework I've never used before

* wider exposure to incubators

The end result: I'm a more fluent prototyper. Winning a Startup Weekend exposed us to an incubator which gave us seed money. I'm now also very comfortable picking up new tech, as patterns emerge in language constructs and APIs. (to keep the lights on, though, I stick with the 2 or 3 skills that I'm very experienced in)

It needn't just be a CV filler.

Solely addressing the jobs question, there are more of those for Rails than Django overall, but based on general listings, the market in my city, and announcements at a (well-attended) local users group, if one had Django on his/her resume, one would be courted by a number of willing suitors.

Django/Python also seems to be disproportionately represented (relative to the general market) in HN job listings, so there is plenty of interest and opportunity here, too.

This is complete nonsense. After finally making it to the end of the article, it became clear that the author is simply advocating for a top-down programming style. However, this fact is completely hidden by some very fundamental misunderstandings about how any of the referenced languages work. "Fold" is not a "keyword" in Haskell, not by a long shot. The author doesn't seem to understand how the programmer can himself implement functions such as fold.
I thought exactly the same. Probably they needed to model an empty state and decided that a null pointer was the easier way to do it.
That's why all the articles about countries doing so well on renewables are always on countries with lots of hydro and/or geothermal. There really should one word for those sources, which provide energy pretty much on demand but aren't available everywhere, and a different word for wind/solar which have the opposite characteristics. Using the same word for both tends to make people overoptimistic about wind/solar.
I think you meant "If you only read the headline and agreed with it".

Funny - "Applause AppleWatch Watch – Where we watch for updates on what people are watching for from the Apple Watch"
>Sim City was launched by maxis a studio that has little (apparent) online knowledge

Sim City was launched by EA. Very little of "Maxis" existed when that product came out. It was entirely an EA project and EA has ample experience with online gaming.

>Now, how about FIFA and Madden which have userbases that absolutely dwarf those games?

If you've ever tried to play an EA game beyond casual 1v1 online matches you would rethink your praise of their online systems. As an avid NCAA 14 player believe me when I say that they have a basic misunderstanding of what players want out of an online experience. They're not even good at 1v1, to be honest, when you're playing over a network their solution to input lag is to just slow down the gameplay entirely. EA is a cheap company.

>I applaud them and am rooting for the active movers inside EA to keep pushing for more OSS.

EA has made so much money off of shit products they would have to do 100 Open Source projects before I felt they deserved praise.

Tell her as I tell mine: The security behind the internet has at this point proven to be so fallible that it may as well not even be called security. The advice we I.T. folk have been preaching all these years [but quietly ignoring ourselves] is so much more profound than even we thought. You're safer to continue taking your bankbook to the same teller at the same bank you've been dealing with your whole life and continue to hope the bank doesn't get robbed while you're in there - because you're less likely to get killed in a bank robbery than you are crossing the road to get to the bank... both of which are infinitely less likely than your security getting compromised on the internet and your information being leaked to some hacker forum and ending up on the black market - regardless of the bank's laughable promise to you that your information is "safe and secure." It also has the additional upside of getting you out of the house, interacting with other people and keeping the human spirit alive instead of sitting cooped up inside all day.

Python is as relevant as any of the other languages you mentioned. It is actually superior IMO for some tasks so it is a good tool to have in your tool bag. I personally, wouldn't write an entire system in it, but many very successful companies have, so I think this is more a personal preference than a language capability issue.

As for teaching it. Frankly I think the entire college education around computer science at most schools is lacking. I see so often that they start people in the higher level languages that abstract students from the underpinnings of what they are doing. I seriously think students should still have to start with a low level language and go through the learning of building solid data structures, algorithms, etc. Of course, not all schools are bad about this, but I see most colleges in the US starting with Java or .NET and not really focusing on teaching fundamentals or how choices affect how the software runs on hardware. Not saying everyone has to be an expert embedded programmer, but knowing how the hardware processes what they are asking it to do would be really helpful. And damn it, they should be able to write basic data structures without using a 3rd party (or standard) library. Not because they will have to do it often, but it teaches them when to use what and why.

I would agree with you that students don't have as many employment options in Python as they will .NET, Javascript, PHP etc, but then again, hopefully they are learning more than just one language and having Python be one of those would still be a benefit IMO.

April Fools' Day prank round-up (2015)
Super sad to hear this story and we've circulated some of these comments internally within the USDS. We know the hiring process is backlogged and isn't very transparent.

Please keep in mind we're still operating like a startup that had an engineering mission it's executing on before it had a mission to scale up. We don't trust the existing government hiring process, which means we have to do it ourselves. This means guilting our existing engineers into finding time to review resumes and do interviews instead of fixing something that's on fire. We are trying to hire good people, not just anyone that shoots a resume our way. But we are still a small team. Please don't judge what we're trying to do solely on how well we can get through resumes and interviews. We're working on it, and we have some ideas and plans to do some work to both improve communication and work through the backlog, so don't give up on us yet.
I really hope it would work for you and you found a reliable CEO. Just recently a friend of mine, CTO of a startup, was cheated out of equity by CEO & CFO of the company he founded (while being assured all the time they are BFFs and bros). That's one of the reasons I would never go for less than co-CEO and a legal requirement to have my approval required for any decision... I would also love to see more engineers as CEOs.
Thanks, I'll read through those as well.

It's meant more in the sense you might hear "the ring of the integers" or "the field of complex numbers". The lambda calculus is a calculus (i.e., one of many.) "Which calculus? The lambda calculus."

You might not hear "the algebra" very often, but you might talk about an algebra, and if the particular algebra you're talking about is clear from context you might sometimes refer to it as "the algebra".

In this sense I think the word "calculus" tends to mean "formal system".

What drought would that be? Lived in Ottawa for over a decade and only remember a few summers of "crispy" grass and a few wildfires due to lower than average rainfall.

But you are correct that they we're asking people to water their lawns once and a while. The difference here is that Ottawa gets its water from the Ottawa river which is a main tributary of the St-Laurent and is itself fed by a massive watershed starting about 7 hours north (funny thing, as you drive up highway 11 you will pass a sign that say "Now entering Arctic watershed").

Sanitizing Input Using Laravel 5 Form Requests
I agree that there is a need for reliably energy producers in standby to satisfy energy demand at every point in time.

Using those for the base-load, as you suggest, however does not make sense. The base load has to be supplied by renewables and nuclear energy. On top of that a quick-to-regulate energy source is needed. Nuclear only really makes sense for the base load as it best runs full power all day. About 50% Nuclear plus coal plus a bit gas is a good idea for a stable grid but not so good CO2-wise. Mixing a high percentage of nuclear with wind and solar does not make too much sense. Then you either need to throttle nuclear power or add another source many times. That leaves coal, oil, gas or hydropower for the grid security. The cleanest here is hydropower where additional turbines are installed but only activated when the demand is high. Using excess energy to pump water back up in the storage lake is also a possibility but more expensive than using what's already there.

An alternative to alleviate the strain on the grid is to regulate consumption. This is best done by having some large consumers getting cheap electricity but having to shut off when the grid demands it. Another idea is to use price regulation and the "smart grid". E.g. electric cars shifting their overnight charging time to adjust the demand with the supply. We'll have to see how far the "smart grid" takes us. When a large percentage of cars are electric cars with batteries it might make sense.
I think this is pretty reasonable depending on how severe the issue is. You should have some monitoring and alerting on this. If this is happening once a month under extreme circumstances, its probably safe to let things continue like that with minimal investigation. But these are typically issues that will hurt you when scale starts to matter. I've personally experienced that. Ignore an issue that you know is important, but seems like it can wait relating to these kind of leaks, and a few months later you're in panic mode trying to hotpatch.

Math whizzes might recognize these numbers as Brun's constant and Meissel-Mertens constant, but it puzzled many of the people involved in the auction, according to three people with direct knowledge of the situation on Friday.

...

'It became clear that they were bidding with the distance between the earth and the sun. One was the sum of a famous mathematical constant, and then when it got to $3 billion, they bid pi,' the source said, adding the bid was $3.14159 billion.
