Actually, I did do a bit of JScript WSH scripts back in the day, well before PowerShell was an option even. IT works relatively well... I even shoved some initial logic into a few of my node scripts for windows that would, if run from WSH relaunch themselves in node.

The biggest issue with JScript in general is probably the lack of open options for certain classes of COM controls, that and COM collections are a beast (the enumeration wrapper you need in JScript is horrible). JScript was my preference just the same back with Classic ASP scripts. Could re-use my logic client and server-side, which usually worked out pretty well... though almost everybody used VBScript, which usually meant in a project both engines were loaded on the server. The other issue was runtime initialization for every request meant you were somewhat limited, though for a couple hundred users on a system at once around 1999-2002, it wasn't bad.
Social Progress Index for 2015
I got the impression from reviews on Amazon that it might have to do with "the law of attraction" (which I dislike), because a lesson in the book is about the universe conspiring to help you when you want something badly enough. Is "the law of attraction" a major theme?
I'm usually reading two books at once, one technical I read in the evening, and another one I read in bed before sleep, usually fiction.

The current technical one is Functional Programming in Scala:
http://manning.com/bjarnason/ which is awesome.

The non technical one, after a few books by Vernor Vinge, is Metro 2033. I'm halfway through it and it's a good read. It's kinda weird, a postapocalyptic novel with some mysticism mixed in.

Also, thanks to everyone who answered the question, my reading list is now long enough to last me a year or two!
"Most users on the newest version"? Of the seven or eight Macs at my workplace, my personal Macbook is the only one running the latest OSX.
I'm about halfway through it. The first half surveys how many powerful institutions including churches, the US education system, and companies encourage/reward extroversion, perhaps without realizing it.

I'm somewhere in the middle of the E/I spectrum and the book has made me reconsider how workplaces, etc. should be structured to avoid excluding people. According to the author, something like 10-30% of the US population are more on the "I" end of the spectrum, including many of the most creative people, so it seems a terrible mistake to encourage practices that exclude such a huge number of people from contributing.
Why does it have to map 1:1?
It actually serves two purposes: protect the passengers, and protect people on the ground (one can think of 9/11 although it's a very special case).
There are bathroom kits to prevent damaging the smartphone. I think there is a video of it being used somewhere on the page too (The demo video)
In Objective-C 'nil' is a special object (internally rwpresented by a null pointer). When the runtime is instructed to invoke any method on nil, the method does nothing and returns nil (rather than crashing). I think this is an artifact of Smalltalk behavior.
It would be awesome if you would include ReactJS for the people who lean towards app development.

* F# Deep Dives (Tomas Petricek and Phillip Trelford)

* PostgreSQL: Up and Running AND PostGIS in Action, 2nd Edition (both by Regina O. Obe and Leo S. Hsu)

I'm eyeballing Purely Functional Data Structures by Chris Okasaki (1999) and a few others for after I finished the Postgres books.

I'm writing a sci-fi novel about a future war between Canada and the United States which mostly takes place between their fighter planes. For plot reasons all planes are required to have a human pilot (as per international treaty), but it seems preposterous that you'd have anything other than remote-controlled or AI controlled airborne machines in the future.

Having to carry a human creates a huge number of constraints. You can't maneuver as quickly due to G-forces, you can't make the fighters small, you can't have them hide-in-wait on the ground for days or weeks at a time. Human reaction time isn't as good, and humans can't coordinate with as many other pilots as a computer can. Pilots are also expensive to maintain.

Anyway, just some thoughts. I'm not an expert on the topic, which is why the novel is going to be a romance which just happens to be set in the future.
Any form of "work" (defined as exertion of effort from memory) is deemed illegal without a work permit - international volunteers need one just as much as those of us working for a commercial entity.

I think it's less about changing Lynda.com and more about driving people towards it as a revenue stream for LinkedIn. "LinkedIn Trained and Certified with <X>". Promote those profiles and stick a fat enough badge on them and people will pay. Some money and a few hours to sit through some videos and maybe a test will be seen as a small price to pay for someone looking for an edge.

You're spot on with everything. I did a lot of manual review and the site already filters out "NO REMOTE", "REMOTE no", "Remote not" and "No Remote" entries. I did spot the "Remote work isn’t an option" post, but I decided I'm not going to write that kind of completely ad-hoc filtering rules, it's just ugly.

Homebrew is not only a weak package manager, it is a dangerous package manager. No one makes it clear anywhere in the docs or on the site that it should never be used on a server or world-facing service...and people are using it for that.

Because it is installed in userland (its most advertised feature), it runs everything as the same user (probably an admin level user with sudo privileges). This throws away 40 years of basic UNIX security wisdom. All so you can install it without sudo.

I recently set out to make our software (and all of its dependencies) installable on Mac OS X. I tried Homebrew first, because it seems so popular and well-liked. But, it's just awful. Coming from a couple of decades using Linux package managers, it's like stepping into the stone age, and it's absurd to bring something that is vastly inferior to the existing options on Linux over. I even blogged about it, for a variety of reasons (mostly to warn people off of the thing): http://inthebox.webmin.com/homebrew-package-installation-for...

Frankly, this is like porting the DOS command line to Linux (which has probably happened at some point, but hopefully as a joke or to solve a specific problem).

So, if you're going to use this, know that it is for home use. If you are putting this on a server for installing services (as I found many people on the web doing with the Mac version) you are doing it so wrong.
sounds like macs are only in homes from your perspective.

For sure, defeating banks in the matter of customer interaction seems like low-hanging fruit. As the article says, they are too slow, too cumbersome, and I'll add that they are too unfun, and their sales departments are pushy and intrusive.

Do we even need monolithic financial entities in this day and age? Most transactions would be better handled by smaller, specialized and modern service companies. Banks are to financial startups what taxi driver unions are to Uber.

And the financial sector definitely deserves a shakedown, after they essentially plunged the rest of the world into a decade of misery with their securities fraud during the housing crisis, and went unpunished for it.
Exactly, unless you're doing an app with high concurrency or real time updating, you can pretty much scale any Rails app to the stratosphere if the app is properly cached and optimized for performance -- and you get to do so while staying within the confines of useful conventions.

I trust Arch far more than other distros, but I can't really use it in a production environment. Unless you take the care to automate the upgrades every 1-3 months, your machine will quickly require a handful of hacks to fix. As a gentoo lover, this isn't very difficult, but when you have, say, a customized digital audio workstation for a client, that needs to "just work" during upgrades (which, debian/KXStudio handles admirably), yaourt -Syu is like rolling the dice whether or not things will continue to build.

AUR aside (even though, as an expert, it's a fantastic resource), the repositories need keys trusted before they can be used, but nowhere in the documentation is this mentioned. When browsing the forums, you are often encouraged to not use keys, and just do everything unsecured.

I no longer trust Debian or Canonical, so I'm trying to migrate to a distribution not registered in (or under the control of) a Nation State involved in Five Eyes agreements, which is pretty much limiting me to Manjaro, Arch and Gentoo.
This. Most devs I know have Macs for precisely this reason -- software, not hardware. If anything, many would prefer the hardware (diversity) offered elsewhere.
I have never heard about companies charging both sides of payroll tax on bonuses - is it even legal? Anyway, Google does not do it and California does not have any extra tax for bonuses so it does not matter in this case.

With that, I agree that having higher guaranteed salary is better than having the same expected variable comp but the comment was about taxes.

I'm reading through Ian Bank's Culture series currently, and enjoy the way he treats it.

In a post-scarcity culture, where energy and information are more or less the only resources, what argument is there against agreeing to give sufficiently advanced AIs rights?
Sorry but this is completely wrong. There is no "J1" or "E3" visa in Australia. The E3 is not reciprocated at all, Americans must get a 457 just like everyone else. For a J1 style short work/ internship/travel visa there is the working holiday visa (12 months, but can't work at a single employer longer than 6 months). It can be applied for online and is usually approved almost instantaneously.

The trouble here is that the technology is "good enough" for the first two but the last one is just a little bit beyond the state of the art.
For those worried by the lack of ports, check around a university or coffee shop and nobody is using multiple ports at once. They are using

1. Maybe headphones
2. Maybe charging (but usually not as battery life has increased so much)

An engineer or pro-sumer might be sad they can't have 3 items plugged in at once, but I think Apple sees what I see in that weight and battery life are more important than number of ports.
No, it isn't a "Gray zone" at all. You're breaking Thai law and contributing to a negative image about foreign workers in a country that already has stringent immigration laws.

So as someone doing it the legal way and jumping through the hoops created to catch people like you, I'd just like to say FUCK YOU VERY MUCH.
Honestly, I am one of the masses who thinks LinkedIn is Monster 2.0 but you can't say it's going to be crap just because a crap company bought it. Just wait and see, keep being an active supporter until they change something you don't like and stop. Them losing users is the best way to affect change.

We recently moved out of Hunterdon County, NJ - that's the part of the state near Bethlehem PA, where there are still trees. It's rural by NJ standards, with 5 acre zoning, etc. But that's perfect for deer - there's enough plantlife (including our own gardens) to feed them, but the houses are still close enough together that there's really nowhere safe to hunt.

The result is an explosion of deer, to the point where you can't walk across the front yard without being careful of stepping on their landmines. They're also a serious danger to motorists - my wife had three deer accidents inside of two years.

This article doesn't mention another effect on the environment that I've observed in NJ, and also at a cabin that we have in NY's Catskills - that is, the rise of coyotes and "coydog" hybrids. Although these predators are shy and rarely seen, you can frequently hear them yipping and howling.

One thing that impressed me about the rise of the coyotes was a few Christmases ago. On Christmas Eve, a deer that had apparently been struck by a car dragged itself to our front yard and died. Not wanting to wake up Christmas morning to that, I tied a rope around the body and dragged it way off into the woods. A week later, my wife was curious about what had become of it and we walked back to look. Just one week after being dumped there, the only sign there had been a deer at all was a spine attached to a pelvis, and a bunch of ribs. One week farther on, even those were gone.

So it looks to me like, while the rise of deer is damaging the plant ecology below it, it's also changing the predator ecology above as well.

Most reviews regard the USB-C situation (only one port) as a huge problem. I can't remember the last time I had more things plugged in than my power plug and my iPhone and that use-case should be a non-issue with the new Macbook.

I'm a bit more worried about the Intel M CPU but it sounds like it performs alright. Lately I think my bottleneck was RAM or network speed.
Oh please. If you're in charge of $160 billion, you better be one of the most sophisticated investors on the planet, and wield your extraordinary power to achieve the greatest returns for your stakeholders. Those fee agreements are clear as day. They should know precisely what can happen if they choose to pay fees on yearly gains instead of on net gains from inception.

Stupid people aren't victims; they're just stupid. The bankers had a responsibility to their shareholders to ask for the highest fees possible, and the managers of the $160 billion had a responsibility to say no. Looks like the bankers did their job.
Yes, but let's be careful not to confuse beginners that thought they were on the path to understanding and then you come and say "it's not combining two functions".

Well, it is combining two morphisms - that you can't deny. And most people use the shorthand word "function" to mean "any morphism" including type constructors.

You may be technically correct but it is not incorrect for people trying to make sense of all these transformations, to say that >> combines two functions. These functions are picked up by the monadic context and executed in sequence.

What do you call something that grants root access without authentication, but wasn't intended to let arbitrary people or programs use it?

"Backdoor" isn't quite right, since that implies that the intent was to allow unauthorized use.

"Security vulnerability" isn't quite right either, since that usually implies getting code to exhibit some sort of behavior it was never supposed to have.

I can't think of any other term. Of the two, "backdoor" seems closer. Maybe "unintentional backdoor"?

Not quite - taxi driver unions are less competitive (in part at least) because they choose not to disregard regulations.

Catalytic RNA species have their place in the RNA world hypothesis, yes. But to suggest that rRNA itself can catalyze peptidyl-tranferase reactions without the use of ribosomal proteins in today's organisms may be far-fetched. Even the most primitive of organisms have ribosomal proteins to accompany the rRNA.
