Yes, exactly that.

At some point I expect a "browser" to be a piece of fixed hardware that renders the current Markup standards into a combination of screen and audio outputs. Perhaps with the option to 'spool to archival'.

We're going to get there because "innovations" in the browser space have increasingly put our personal information, and financial lives at risk. Nobody ever had to worry that answering the phone might suddenly drain their bank account, or install a surveillance device surreptitiously. And yet we have those issues now with "browsing a web site". As Pwn2Own has shown its a really hard problem to make a secure browser and the logical conclusion (for me at least) is to air gap the browser feature from everything else.

I never personally learned Rails so I'm just an interested observer, but can someone explain the problems with Rails currently? And why the switch in language rather than just making fixes to the framework? After looking through the article it doesn't seem like there was a very strong case made for Go. Thanks!

I like custom sigils, those are pretty cool, e.g.
def sigil_i(string, []), do: String.to_integer(string)

But, having to put that char into the method name rather than argument, doesn't that limit the characters that you can use? Seems like would be better as arg.

Resharper is made by Jetbrains. The flagship product made by Jetbrains is IntelliJ, a Java IDE and probably the best IDE money can buy. It is also and the thing which inspired Resharper (Jetbrains itself was called "Intellij" previously).

Now, if on top of the IDE, which is at least on par with VS + Resharper, you add things like build tools, project management tools, testing and code coverage tools, Java is basically the Godfather. xUnit, including NUnit, comes from Junit (Java), Nant was inspired by Ant (Java), Nuget was inspired by Maven (Java), etc.
Well said, I think a lot of people (especially teenagers and young adults) form bonds based on their affinity to certain brands. IMHO, they haven't really developed a strong sense of self and an identity just yet, so it is easier for them to find community this way.

But I don't think that forming bonds this way, or attempting to, is sustainable in the long run. Like you alluded to, those friendships are superficial at best.

I have for the longest time often thought real estate agents over charged for their services.

(Side story: While looking at potentially buying a home, I realized that if I invested some time and the $500 to get the course materials, pass the state exam, and the fee to be credentialed, then I could potentially turn that into saving 2% to 3%, several thousands of dollars, when purchasing a home for myself... what's actually required and allowed will vary form state to state.)

With that said, I am a licensed real estate salesperson in my home state (but I am not practicing as I have not hung my credentials with a broker). I do believe that listing agents and brokers fees will have to come down since marketing is becoming easier and easier for everyone to do.

The greatest value that an agent can provide is that they can ensure that an offer to purchase is enforceable. Some people don't have the time to waste several weeks thinking they are buying or selling a home only to find out at closing that the deal fell through for what ever reason and that they have little or no recourse because the contract they wrote up was invalid or unenforceable.

Yes, you can have an attorney write up the contract for a few hundred dollars. In many states though the attorney can't practice real estate though (show houses or negotiate, they can only write up the legal document they are instructed to do).

In my state an agent can't list a house without first viewing it. What many don't realize is the amount of time traveling and showing homes that an agent spends time doing.

I see prices coming down and less and less and more contracts with brokers that pay a flat fee for an MLS listing and a yard sign. The owner will be responsible for showing and negotiating with potential buyers unless some other compensated arrangement is made with the listing broker. Commissions will only be paid to an agent/broker that actually procures a buyer.
You could take in a few select students as well. Then maybe award them a certificate of completion (a "degree", if you will). In exchange, they would maybe make a small contribution towards the running costs.

I wanted to say "but that's why they get a jury of their peers, people that know what means!" but then I remembered not only would that not happen, but even if it did, those same peers would likely have a tribe mentality and seek to protect their own.
An alternative would be to create an independent key (I forget what Github calls them) that has read-only permissions to access your repo.

The whole point of deploying via a git pull is so that you don't have to do "a ton of external fiddly work" to get the code running. By deploying via a git pull I ensure that the files in the data center are exactly the same as the files on the laptop that I wrote the code on, and so if it worked on my laptop it is very likely to work in the datacenter.
Does this have an impact on writing concurrent software?
If you read the rationale for why prosecutors don't even bother going after a lot of the banking fraud, it's often because of the complexity. This is obviously more about prosecutors lacking guts (and political will) than it is any shortcoming of jurors, but complexity is a problem.

I doubt there are many people whose lives are not bettered by friends & loved ones.

The hitch, I think, is when we try to prescribe how & when people should acquire them.

E.g., your culture pushes you into marriage at a young age "because having a spouse and kids will make you happy" when in reality having the right spouse will make you happy and the wrong one won't. Since you were pushed, maybe you didn't make a good choice in spouse.

Similar things could be said about shallow/forced/artificial friendships. While everyone benefits from good friends, what those friends are like and how you find and bond with them differs for different people

So maybe it's important to deliver the message that people are what matter, but also important not to try to force when or who or where, and let people find their own way.
I understand that is how that the market works. It may not be a "problem" in people's current understanding of the law, but I certainly think a problem is being exposed here. I am arguing that Apple has created something different with the AppStore; a privileged sub-market. Because the burden of changing markets is heavily in Apple's favor they should, as a large public company, be required to serve the public good and manage it in the consumer's best interest, not their own.

Jon Stewart's thesis is that teachers are punished for crimes and "Wall Street" is not.

In this segment he singularly cites the actions of loan officers soliciting incorrect information comparing their actions to teachers falsifying test results.

First of all, loan officers are hardly "Wall Street" fat cats. They are low level employees who are paid an average of $50,000 [1] and do not work for "Wall Street" firms like investment banks.

Secondly, loan officers operate throughout the United States rather than actually on Wall Street or in Manhattan and, as a group, are subject to the jurisdiction of the federal government, 50 states, and 3,144 counties each with independent prosecutors (elected state's attorneys, district attorneys, etc.).

If none of the thousands of entities who could have brought cases have done so, either there is conspiracy vaster than any other or there are not credible cases to bring.

The fact that Prolog, Fortran and Ruby are all Turing-complete is useful to know from a computer science standpoint, but from a perspective of actual use, it just isn't that relevant. A language — whether human or computer — isn't just about the algorithms it can express, but about the ways it lets you express them, understand them and combine them. And Turing equivalence tells us very little about that sort of thing.

This is a bit abstract, so here's a tiny but concrete example of how differences in how you express an algorithm can have a tangible effect:

f = open("somefile.txt")
f.write("Hello world")
f.close()

with open("somefile.txt") as f:
f.write("Hello world")

They're effectively the same, and could conceivably even be compiled to the same object code, but the latter is less error-prone — we can't accidentally leave the file open. A language that only allows the former is inherently more brittle. There's a whole world of variation like this (and also a lot unlike this) that doesn't affect whether the language is equivalent to a Turing machine, but does have a real impact on your program.

So I think it is quite possible for languages to be worlds apart while still being able to compute everything a Turing machine can.
Millennials having grown up with internet friends and now entire social media networks may just be overwhelmed with the day to day situation of the normal local mundane day job, and the immensity of internet social networks.

Lots of millennials are sedated with the hugeness of internet life. There's a great sense of restless apathy amongst the generation, and an easy way to revitalize your life on the surface is through toys and shiney fabric.
As an old habit before I knew about "paste" mode in vim, I transcribe code instead of using copy and paste. This allows me to make adjustments to the variable names and other stylistic changes, and also gives me a better chance of understanding the code.

When I am looking at someone else's code that was built mostly by copy-and-paste, it is jarring to have changes in style, indentation, and quality from piece to piece. Also there tend to be lines of code that don't do anything. Especially beginners will just paste code and then change it until it "works", which leaves a incredible mess.

There have been an unusually large number of civilian casualties from the drone program. If memory serves its currently over 20 incidental deaths per high value target. Leaked documents from the CIA (by Der Speigel) even enumerate administrative policy on the number of acceptable innocent deaths per target - in some cases 70 or more civilian deaths were calculated to be acceptable.

The United States also hunted and assassinated US citizen and former Ambassador al-Awlaki with drones after censoring his political speech from Youtube and other online forums when the former Ambassador, through his official duties, became convinced that the US's policies in the Middle East were harmful to the region and became supportive of resistance groups. A scandal ensued when the US claimed to have the right to execute American citizens without trial in circumstances of extreme immediacy but would not release their policy (this is under the now former Justice Department head Holder) and could not defend the claim that there was a critical immediate need (al-Awlaki did not participate in any violent activity and former strikes that missed him were not followed by any activity that could be reasonably called an extreme immediate need).

These scandals aside, imagine what it is like to live underneath the constant threat of instantaneous incineration - the buzzing of drones in the sky and sporatic strikes. This Orwellian world will continue to see its day as the world powers and military suppliers have all been building drone programs, the US has plans to deploy drones to patrol its own skies, and the Obama administration has clearance to sell its drones to other nations.

Scanning http://www.hackersdelight.org/aha/aha.pdf, it looks like Aha performs some form of exhaustive search over all programs? An SMT solver is probably a better way of doing this search; there's been some work in this direction.

Jha, Gulwani and colleagues have a very nice paper on oracle-guided synthesis. They show how you can generate loop-free bitvector programs using SMT: http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~sseshia/pubdir/synth-icse10.pd.... John Regehr has also written about this on his blog: http://blog.regehr.org/archives/1146.

Part of the complexity here in an SMT solution might be encoding all the bizarre instructions that you could possibly take advantage of in x86-like instruction sets.
