>I hope Twitter's "no data resale" attitude leads to them becoming irrelevant, as it is so destructive of much innovation.

Are you serious? As in, do you honestly believe that end users are gonna say "what, Twitter won't let people have access to 'our data'? Screw that I'm gonna go to ... <some competitor I've not heard of>?"
That's a pretty cool idea! Let me know how it goes :) I think it's totally possible.

>. A most amazing moment for us was a study of people who were epileptics. They had the brain open, and every single time that they had an electrode stimulation to a very certain region of the cardiac nucleuses, which is part of this wanting system, the patient would turn around and say that he loved the doctor.

Anyone else see this and get really curious to read the manuscript from this study? Google has failed me, but if anyone else managed to locate it, please post!
The idea is more to write it for each site, so you have site specific design
They briefly had a primary surplus. Are you willing to bet that they still do?
Hi there, you seem a tad upset. You should probably note my last sentence where I point out most of the better folks who I want to work with are older. My point was that simply being older doesn't make someone better, and that I'd rather train a junior than deal with a stubborn incompetent senior team mate. Unless you think the latter applies to you, you probably shouldn't be upset, I'm not generlising, I'm pointing out that if you're good, you don't need to worry.

That said, the assumption that you know better than me because you're 10 years older is part of the folly of what I'm pointing out. Indeed, you may know more than I do in my area of expertise, however you should base that on fact and merit. You should not assume that's the case just because you're older than me. If you tried that in an interview with me, indeed, it wouldn't last long and as a blunt Scottish guy, you'd certainly know why.
To be fair, there's always room for better UX.

Embedded developer here. A lot of times I need to edit a file on the target and I can easily put vi on the target system through busybox. Having the same editor on both sides is a nice thing.

Are you sure about that?

Ah. So you mean, "If you want to be perfectly secure for all future time you must be completely self sufficient."

Can't really argue with that. Maybe not useful advice, but it's self-evidently true.
42, happily but anxiously still coding. What most disturbs me about the ageism debate is that so many young programmers believe it is right, natural, and inevitable to assume that older programmers should be cast aside. It is an odd form of false consciousness that so many of us believe in our 20s that we will be retired before 30. Someone mentioned Barrett's quote astonished that "clueless management" would treat programmers' careers like those of professional atheletes. But how clueless is it really, when so many of us think the exact same way?

We all think we're going to be the lucky ones to strike it rich, all it takes is hard work and our natural talent and voila, $100M exit. Then, you reach mid-life, and still want to write code, how do you feel now about your youthful cavalier attitude?

If I could travel back in time 20 years and tell myself "dude, someday you'll be my age too!" I probably wouldn't have done anything differently, but it would be a serious boost to the humility of our young brethren for them to realize that they too will be in our shoes one day--a day that comes far too soon.

The thing is, I am actually one of the lucky ones. I could retire now and never work another day. Sure I don't have a private jet or a house in Atherton, but I have the freedom to walk away from anything and not worry about money. It's liberating, but I certainly don't want to stop. I love programming! I want to keep working. And based on the sentiments of those around me, and the nice paycheck I command, it's clear I still have a lot to contribute to this economy before I'm put out to pasture. But I would like a less toxic enviroment. Fortunately I don't encounter many clueless managers these days. I simply don't work for organizations where decisions would be made to hire youth just to save a few bucks. But I still encounter the young bucks who think I'm too expensive and simply there to steal their thunder and take credit for everything. Just remember kids, someday you will be just like me, if you're lucky.

We have so little time, don't waste any of it comparing yourself to others--young or old. Treat every day as a competition with yourself... to end the day a little bit smarter, a little wiser, a little bit more humble than you were when the day started.
Well, different intellectual fields have different experience curves.

Accounting, medicine, law all have much longer experience curves. Accounting also has significant barriers to entry (though not as high as medicine). Law has lower barriers to entry and you can see them facing a wave of unemployed lawyers and closing law schools right about now. Etc ...
I apologize for the off-topic, as much as I absolutely love coffee the serving process to me always seemed ridiculous. This clip expresses my feelings pretty accurately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuX1rypN4Y
I think the problem goes even further. The cogito assumes an "I" that it never really establishes. "I think, therefore some thoughts exist" seems to hard to challenge, but who is to say that these thoughts are continuous or coherent, that they really define a single entity "I?"
The problem I have money Mustache is that he doesn't value time that much.

Congrats on learning to become a developer. Always excited when people join the community. A few things:

1) that feeling of "being behind" never goes away. In fact, the more you learn, the wider the breadth of topics you will want to learn, so the feeling only grows. Software engineering is not a field which lends itself well to people who want to "learn the playbook so they can be confident they are doing it right". The main question is if you can spin "feeling behind" into a positive force, similar to what competitive athletes do.

2) if people are telling you that "you are behind" - ignore them and start hanging out with better people. There are more than enough talented people out there who want todo nothing more than help others while building up their confidence in the process.
Conceptually they're both just a combination of some data and code that (usually) makes use of that data. I think a great example of this is function objects in C++.
This is emphatically not true. The salinated impurities that are a byproduct of this process will kill everything in the zone that is is reintroduced to. Just because it is a small fraction of the ocean doesn't mean we can easily spread it across the entire ocean. Even then, we are doing an irreversible transformation of the ocean as a whole, and we need to be smart about the waste for the process to be sustainable.

I can think of several countries that did this incorrectly and killed large portions of their coastal ecology as a result.
That's untrue. DataSift was explicitly telling customers the contracts were up for renewal and that they did not have anything solidified.

While I'm not an astronomer, I think observations such as the the Bullet Cluster and the different position s for where the mass seems to be - including big changes in morphology, not just location - clearly indicates that something dark matter/energy-like must exist. The precise nature of this DM/DE is an a separate question.
This is one of the critical details:

Still, there is hope. “New ideas sometimes serve as revolutions,” Jones and Weinberg comment. Revolutions tend to favor the young. The average age-at-discovery, in physics, took a dip at the beginning of the century. This is where Einstein came in, who published his general theory of relativity at 26, and Dirac, who wrote the “fever chill” poem. They attribute this to the impact of quantum mechanics at the beginning of the century, when “the entire worldview of physics changed”

There's a highly recommended books, Thirty Years that Shook Physics: The Story of Quantum Theory (http://www.amazon.com/Thirty-Years-that-Shook-Physics/dp/048...) that in part explains what's happened in the last century and a quarter or so. That amazing 30 years of course produced a rash of Nobels, and in the other Nobel fields then enabled further Noble research, e.g. the 20th Century's preeminent chemist, Linus Pauling, got his Ph.D. at an opportune time for him to do his postdoc work in Europe, and then apply the developing quantum theory to his field.

Molecular genetics, particularly the elucidation of DNA, also resulted in a truly wild ride for a few decades, something I got a feel of when I started doing it in 1977.

Now, a lot of scientists are in Feynman's position, in a time where there's lots of known stuff out there, but achievable Nobel worthy research is less obvious to everyone, including those awarding the prizes.

I have been thinking of writing a canvas based rendered for equations in latex.
If found, receipt return to 23 Beaver Street, New York? I used to work for a tech company in the same building as the one which now occupies this space (though I used a Broad Street entrance); I believe 23 Beaver is now the entrance to the New York State Lottery offices. (The justice department has some juvenile-justice/family-court-something offices next door at 25 Beaver). It's just around the corner from Bowling Green and the Charging Bull, and it's on the south end of the same block as the New York Stock Exchange.

They probably had a different building there back in the day, but regardless, it seems likely that Edward W Brown was probably some sort of fancy Wall Street financier or similar, especially given that he was touring Long Island in an early motorcar...

Right. I use mixins to apply these declarations to classes. Which has its own drawbacks.
Rust is new here, but it often does its dependency injection on the type-level (see the *_traits crates in servo, or anything involving piston - `https://github.com/piston-developers`).

However, Rust doesn't have an OOP or Unit Test culture, so dependency injection is limited to true dependencies.
I used to be fascinated by UFO stories and such when I was a kid. Part of my interest in SF in general.

As I grew up, I started to appreciate just how vast space really is, and how much energy it takes to hop over to even the nearest solar system for a ship of even small mass, like 1kg.

And after I started studying molecular nanotechnology, it occurred to me that it is very unlikely that aliens have ever visited us. The is nothing they need from us that they couldn't get more cheaply closer to home.

And if they did visit us, they would be so far beyond our current technology level that they could easily observe us without our knowledge.

We have nothing to worry about unless we encounter a self replicating plague, and by then it will be too late.
For me, the method I've found most comfortable are snapshot style whole disk backups. The common go-to solution is rsync/snapshots (ala rsnapshot or similar utilities), which I've used in the past. However this only does partial deduplication (it deduplicates files that are in the same path from one backckup to the next), and it doesn't compress. So to remedy that I wrote Snebu (http://www.snebu.com), which stores lzo-compressed files on the target using sha1 hash for the file name (somewhat like Git does), and has an sqlite DB to store the metadata (file paths, ownership, backup set name/date, etc). Therefore you get full file-level dedup even across multiple clients writing to the same backend. On the client side, it uses standard GNU find and tar, so you can use it on Windows with the help of Cygwin. Each backup set has a retention schedule label (daily, weekly, etc) to make it easy to selectively purge old backups (i.e., keep the current 10 daily, 6 weekly, and 12 monthly backups).

I've got the client side script tweaked so that you can run it as a standalone setup (backup to a local USB drive), or backup to a remote Linux server via a non-privileged account, or have the remote backup server pull backups from your clients. The features that are currently in development for the next version include client-side encryption, and pluggable backend replication, so you can replicate your backup sets to cloud providers, or tape, or to another Snebu installation.

I can definitely use some more feedback, probably need to do another round of documentation improvements, but overall the code seems quite stable. The project sites is up on github (github.com/derekp7/snebu) if you are interested in contributing.
I could not agree more when you say that building services which target the needs/limitations faced by the unconnected is the way forward rather than just expanding the infrastructure, and it's refreshing to see someone realize that. It's not just about making the internet available, it's also about teaching the unconnected 'how' to use it (I feel the UX layer of the internet may be broken for the unconnected) And even more important to teach them 'why' (i.e: a farmer in some developing rural area might not really care to connect with friends via social networks or download music, however, teaching him how to check the weather online, might just bump his livelihood up a few notches.) The word here I guess is 'relevance'.
Yes, I have been working on digital literacy with under privileged people, we have also been running extensive usability tests to help understand how the unconnected interact with basic internet services, however, I feel there is a lot more to be discovered about the dynamics of this completely untapped demographic.

Did the TED speaker attempt any sort of blinding to avoid the placebo effect and biased reporting?
If you go beyond the title and read the paper carefully, what it states is if you spin a coin rapidly in the air with a horizontal spinning axis and catch it in the air, then weighting the coin doesn't bias it. If you throw a coin in other ways (e.g. let it land on a surface), then you can of course bias a coin.
One newline does nothing, two makes new paragraph.

Why is this a problem? Many people advocate starting each sentence on a new line, so that diffs between versions of a document are more intelligible - they'll show you just the sentences that have changed, rather than whole paragraphs.

As soon as I finish the client-side encryption module for Snebu, would anyone be willing to give it a quick audit? I want to make sure I'm not making any critical mistakes (I will be using external libraries, such as openssl for encryption, but still...)
Many places with water shortage are sunny and hot. In my mind it is the perfect use case for solar thermal power plants. I just love how simple they are. If we build coal or nuclear power plants, we just ditch one problem for another.

It is also a great way to smoothen the varying production of renewal energy.
That's actually a cracking point. I want to work with people who can defend their positions. The reasoning behind our decisions should be clear, if it isn't, you lose points against the guys who can do it. Luckily, age typically makes you better at this, which is what makes it really suspect when you get an older guy pulling an appeal to authority.
Our startup Scirra makes Construct 2, a game creator that uses an interesting kind of block language called "events": https://www.scirra.com/construct2

It's accessible to non-programmers but also is sophisticated enough to cover things like loops, functions, recursion, local/global/member variables, and more.

Microsoft's PowerBI platform is growing on me for an end-user UI.

You're definitely right that none of the enterprise solutions are completely "there."

It still seems to me that "Export to Excel" is the strongest BI feature of any tool. Pivot tables are ubiquitous. Throw any OLAP cube up on a server and host a workbook on SharePoint and you're probably 60% of the way to a good BI ecosystem.

^^ This is in terms of data vis and presentation ^^ The backend work still dominates.

Fair disclosure: my company is a Microsoft Partner, so my primary exposure and all of my work is in that ecosystem. For geek-cred, I run Arch and OpenBSD for all my personal systems.

Twitter is still selling data to analysis companies, they are "only" forcing them to buy the data directly from Twitter (aka Gnip).
Right, what you want is a seamless view that shows the block diagram while you type, perhaps by "dissolving" a single block while you type in a way that transiently corrupts the block, and condenses the block when the incremental compile notices that there is once again a valid block.
That's an interesting idea as well. A molten salt reactor or something similar would have the same benefits as nuclear, you just trade reliability for cleanliness. I would imagine that a molten salt set up would be significantly cheaper to build as well, but I could be wrong on that.

> what if mobile carriers where not allowed to discriminate whom they could sell zero-rated services to, so each service provider/app should have the freedom to choose the business model that works best for themselves?

While nominally better, it would just be like putting lipstick on a pig. There would also be serious real world problems with actually enforing such a regimen.

> what if 3rd parties where allowed to buy zero-rated URLs or IPs in "bulk" from all the carriers in a geography, making it much easier to contract all mobile carriers?

My answer is pretty much the same as above, only this one is a bit more ambitious. It's basically like suggesting world peace as a solution to global conflicts. Getting all the carriers in a geographic region on board, implementing, rolling out and enforcing such a thing would almost be an effort worth a Nobel price in itself.

> preventing companies to provide zero-rated services increases the digital divide as it inhibit people who cannot afford to buy a data plan to use services. In many areas of the world, the majority of mobile consumers are on pre-paid plans and have zero credits most of the time (most countries have calling party pays, so a smartphone with zero credit is still very valuable to receive calls)

Offering zero rating as a solution to this problem is a false choice. Zero rating is providing a means of communication for free AND limiting what it can be used for. The correct choice is to provide the same means of communications for free and NOT limiting what it can be used for. That is how you remove the digital divide.

If need be this free mode of communication can be limited by speed or by amount, as is customary in the mobile world. What is not reasonable is to limit what can be done with it.

TL;DR zero rating is evil, give users a free tier or quota instead.
Like the parent tried to explain, different fields (programming, law, medicine, etc) have different experience curves.

There is definitely enough in programming to learn for 200 years, if we lived that long. It's just that when programming in area E, a 47 yo who learned A, B, C, D, and E does not have an advantage over a 32 yo who learned B, D, and E. But the 32 yo has the advantage of his youth.

I also don't get all the "I'm 30 and I'm doing ok" statements. The article is about issues you'll experience when you're 45 .. 49 .. 55 .. 59 .. 63 .. etc.

Edit: let me do an easy computation for you. Time from age 22 to age 32 = 10 years. Time from age 22 to age 67 = 45 years. Big difference!
I'm the author of this post. You mention a tough philosophical quandary that I struggle with every time I share information with the rest of the world.

As much as I hate giving attackers anything, I am very dedicated to information sharing so that people can learn as much as possible from my posts. The truth is always out there one way or another. I would rather everybody be as educated as possible. Hopefully that makes sense.
