So true. But then again, based on the amount of comments this got both here and on Reddit, it seems like a lot of people were not aware of the danger or, even if aware, had not found a suitable replacement (like ProxyCommand could offer).
I read your posts and I don't know if I just don't understand you or if you are trolling.

I believe what the parent post refers to is that Ruby - being a dynamic language - is way more flexible with types and data structures. On top of that it has very convenient methods for data manipulation. This allows you to express solutions in a fewer lines of code compared to lower languages (with the added downside of slowness of course).
This is on top of breaking the AT&T/Tmobile merger and the new Net Neutrality rules and the ACA, etc. I think its clear the Obama administration is a counter against the GOP-led "anything goes" business culture.

>other terrible ideas from coming to fruition (Citizens United)

That's SCOTUS for you. Bush put in Roberts and Alito, both arch-conservatives. We're going to have a conservative majority for decades. Beware the usual HN and reddit dialogue of "both parties are the same" as it leads to voter apathy and things like a weak candidate like GWB winning a second term.
Is there any reason to think Zuri is particularly worse than the other mediocre candidates Guatemala fields every election? Well apart from being affiliated with a Christian political group, which are usually pretty clued out (not judging religious groups overall, just saying the ones in Guatemala are pretty moronic - a funny point, they hate Catholics so much, they tend to downplay anything Catholics do, including Easter... which IIRC, is sort of a cornerstone of the faith.)

More concerning was that Rios Montt was nearly re-elected no so long ago. What was surprising was that they didn't pull any stunts, despite having bussed in lots of people to downtown to protest. I had an indigenous maid once and she fully supported him because she recalled that when Rios Montt ran things, the place was safe. Probably because the police could just carry out summary justice. Good, I suppose, if you're an old lady not wanting to get mugged, but not so great if someone falsely accuses you.

It feels very unlikely that Guatemala will pull itself together without a strong outside force. The current president's motions about legalizing drugs would be a good step, but is probably just posturing to get more USAID or whatnot. Foreign forces probably do more harm than good, as they love to give money or material, which gets quickly misused. Guatemala would be far better off having e.g. foreign police officers than getting 2000 new pickups for the current police.

"Second-wave essentialism couldn't handle the 1% of intersex people, for example, or the existence of trans individuals."

What a dishonest attempt at a characterization. You took the opporunity of the readers' unfamiliarity with a topic to interject your own subjective and vague opinion ("Second-wave essentiallism couldn't handle" -- what function does this phrase even serve beyond emotional release for the writer? What does it even mean?), without providing any links or citations to the extensive existing material that exists.

If you valued actual discourse, you would link to some article like Michelle Goldberg's "What is a Woman?"[0] in the New Yorker to provide some sort of context on the conflicting ideas of feminism and queer theory. But time and time again my fellow men who cheerlead for queer theory and identity politics bring nothing to the table but opportunistic, ingenuine rhetoric bordering on non-sequitur. I don't even need to claim anything about second-wave or modern radical feminists -- the transparently anti-intellectual liberal male digs his own grave.

Just an FYI, the newest version of Django (1.8) now supports Jinja or Django templates by default and you can plugin other templating engines if you want.
There's a lot of previous work on picking the best compiler flags to tune a program. It doesn't appear that this thesis cites any of that work-- probably because most of the work hasn't been published. JITs by necessity disable many optimizations that aren't always cost-effective, so gaining a few percent improvement by tuning flags isn't surprising.

Just for the record, I'm not in favor of big biz either.

Apparently from the discussion here, working with recycled material is more costly for corporations and therefore they

would not be compelled to give up profits to save the environment and improve sustainability.

So, it's now either the people's or the govt's duty to step in and try to mitigate the risk since the market dynamics are

not favorable to work on their own.

People or govt could help by subsidizing the cost of recycling the materials and making it more appealing for businesses to

use them in their manufacturing processes and therefore preserving the environment.

As to which is better raising taxes or giving tax breaks from the point of view of govt interference, I believe that

incentive is less invasive and more importantly less coercive than raising taxes and distorting the market and pushing the

increase in operating costs to the consumers instead.

...but... that's what literary theorists literally do, isn't it? Read books and articles and write about them, and attend meetings. Having spent a reasonably long time in the University system (as a student, mind), I have a general idea of what everyone does and why.

On the other hand, I really don't understand what a lot people in the tech industry do. I have a friend who works for some kind of 'data analysis' company. He makes $80K a year, and he tells me on a bad day he has to do 2 hours of 'real' work: the rest of the time is spent on reddit or taking classes. It's gotten so bad (or good) for him that he is taking 3 evening classes in the University he graduated from while working full-time. He says he spends most of his worktime doing assignments and readings anyway, so he's more prepared for classes than he was ever in college.

I understand why a game company might need 50+ developers working on the same game. I understand why Google might need all those engineers. I really don't understand what 50+ 'data engineer's at what is essentially an SEO company with 100+ employees do... Like you say, I am really confused : is the market REALLY that bad at finding exploitable niches?

And then there's another friend of mine, who says the most difficult part of his Google engineering job by far was getting it. Go figure!
Thank you so much for the pointer. I had not considered the connection of explicitly accounting for subjectivity in interpretation (for semantics) to (as in your example) the theories of agents and trust.

And I've got to say, really taking this in (the importance of subjectivity and context) can help in real-world situations as well.

On a side note, I wouldn't be surprised if the JIT compilers were doing some use of this, allowing some interpreted language to have better performances than compiled C on some benchmarks

I wish they added bottle.py [1] to the mix...

I'm a huge fan of bottle.py, it's simpler/cleaner, but does lack of fucntionalities and plugin. And you'll notice that it is much higher on the the JSON serialization chart at 13% (flask and django are at 5.7% and 1.1% respectively).

ProxyCommand is simpler to setup if you have a new enough ssh that -W is available. You can do "ProxyCommand ssh gateway -W real_host:22" to go direct to real_host.
Which argues that good names are generally not a single dictionary word. This is like saying "nowadays there are no good passwords people can't guess: people can just try the entire dictionary in a few seconds". If you list major brands, the vast majority of them, even of really really old brands, are either made up words or phrases.
There already is. If you add liquidity you get a bit of a bonus, if you remove it (cancel your limit order), you are charged a small amount.

Why are people so fixated on the order book? The real information is the spot price and how fresh is that information (and the volume), the order book is a fantasy anyhow. There are people willing to buy stuff at pennies always, and sell at thousands. How does that help you? What if they cancel? It shouldn't matter if someone does it closer to the spot price, or closer to the best bid-offer.

If you want to buy, look at the price, decide how much you think it's worth, put in a limit order at that price. Go to bed. If you want to sell, basically do the same. If you want to live on trading, then smarten up.
The particularly annoying part is that nc or socat or whatever is not required in any relatively modern ssh.

My .ssh/config for use with a bastion or jump host:

Host *.prod.blah.com
ForwardAgent yes
ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p %r@jumphost.ext.blah.com

Host *.ext.blah.com
ForwardAgent yes

It's all do-able within ssh-land. I do forward my agent, but only to hosts in my production sub-domains rather than to anyone I connect to. It could get hijacked, but at least the attack vector is a lot smaller.
I've applied to a few CFP's but never gotten in, here's to hoping this is my lucky charm!
That's wrong. That kind of regulation comes from the legislature. It's an outside force. The effects of a regulator's actions on their ability to join banks afterwards are measured independently of legislature regulation. What I'm talking about is the people whose job it is to enforce that regulation (the people we call "regulators"). Their incentive is to not enforce it as strongly as they could or should. They "adapt" their policy enforcement to fit what people believe in industry right now, which is why they let all these banks peddle bad loans and commit massive fraud. The reason they "adapt" is contained in my original post.

Politically connected & Rich people do not go to Jail for White-collar crimes. Think about the revolving door between Wall street and the Obama/Bush/Clinton administrations.

Would you put your "buddy" in Jail if it meant that the political contributions would dry up and your opponent is going to get a war chest to fight you? Of course not!

But an educator? These people cheated to keep their jobs and get (minor) pay raises - by definition they cannot fight back so the full weight of the Criminal Justice system (Racketeering Laws - typically used against Mafia figures) was used to toss some of them in Jail for upto 20 years!

Let's face it - the American Criminal justice system basically preys on those least able to protect themselves from its abuses.
There's a reason why queues are more performant than threads. See node.js and nginx for real-world examples.

The OS is dumb and does not understand the nature of load. If we applied your logic, everyone would still run Apache instead of nginx.

Your user-interfaces 101 fails flat on its face when you have hundreds of short-lived jobs that need to happen. Each one is insignificant on it's own, but if you overload the server will all of them at the same time just can starve system's RAM (forcing it to swap) or increase disk seeks by order of magnitude if short-lived jobs are asking for different data that is all over the place.

The only true answer here is: it depends.
My last startup did something like that - we interviewed close to a hundred people to figure out what they really did in their jobs. It was targeted towards undergrads, as a form of career guidance, but it turns out to be very hard to get people to pay attention to career guidance that doesn't directly lead to getting a job. We also tried refocusing toward older young professionals (late-20s), but that had the same problem: it's much easier to sell a service that's task-focused than one that's discovery-focused.

My sense is that there's probably not a viable business there but it may make an interesting hobby blog-series, if you can get people to participate.
It's old, and it was created and sharpened by old people with Unix smudges on their fingers. This is not so much a good answer, as an excuse to indulge myself and listen to Stephenson for a moment.

The file systems of Unix machines all have the same general structure. On your flimsy operating systems, you can create directories (folders) and give them names like Frodo or My Stuff and put them pretty much anywhere you like. But under Unix the highest level--the root--of the filesystem is always designated with the single character "/" and it always contains the same set of top-level directories:

/usr
/etc
/var
/bin
/proc
/boot
/home
/root
/sbin
/dev
/lib
/tmp

and each of these directories typically has its own distinct structure of subdirectories. Note the obsessive use of abbreviations and avoidance of capital letters; this is a system invented by people to whom repetitive stress disorder is what black lung is to miners. Long names get worn down to three-letter nubbins, like stones smoothed by a river.
I'm just pointing out that System.Tuple doesn't suck as the commenter was saying. It's just C#'s handling of them.
Then call it "Electron Shell," which would at least be more Googleable than "Electron" by itself is.
This is the only sensible reply on this thread. From the response that Apple provided:

> We noticed that your app or its metadata contains irrelevant platform information in the app. Providing future platform compatibility plans, or other platform references, is not appropriate for the App Store.

> Specifically, your app and app description declare support for the Pebble Smartwatch.

It is pretty clear that the reviewer believed that the App was _also_ available for the Pebble Smartwatch, not that the iPhone app supported the Pebble as a peripheral, usable only if you have the app on your phone[1]. On that basis the app was rejected. I understand that the appeal process may be difficult, etc., but let's not get carried away with the idea that this is some grand plan by Apple to kill off all watch-like peripherals.

[1] The peripheral relationship is quite clear, from the FAQ [2]

> The Pebble Smartwatch and your iPhone and iPad need to be paired over Bluetooth to work together. This connection works over quite a range, 100ft (30m) in our testing but can sometimes drop. If the SeaNav watch face should disappear you will need to re-pair your Pebble with your iPhone/iPad.

For "Would you describe today's DESKTOP browsers as 'Innovative'?": Yes = 29% No = 71%

For "Would you describe today's MOBILE browsers as 'Innovative'?": Yes = 14% No = 86%

However, the "No" category includes those who feel that the browser doesn't need to be innovative, and is simply a viewing mechanism.
The thing that turned me away from Atom and its' development is CoffeeScript. As someone who loves idiomatic JS, I still can't get why you'd pick a language that makes tooling and debugging a nightmare. It's also a kick in the gut to efforts to fix the shortcomings of ECMAScript like ES6 [1].

Well remember that the F# team had generics before C#, and they are the only reason the CLR shipped with real generics in v2. So that's a pretty big return, seeing as real generics was a flagship feature difference between the CLR and JVM.
I ended up rolling my own too. Videos were a big problem, online solutions cost a lot for the videos my family takes. I ended up throwing them on a server with pared disks synced using rsync (not raid because raid doesn't protect from file deletion).

For presentation I have a bunch of scripts to import and index in bulk from idevice backups (which catches things received thru MMS from the nanny or family) and convert to webm format or create thumbnails. Once all the metadata is in a db, a simple rails app shows them with paging, date ranges etc.

Would be really nice to have more features like curation, galleries, rotate, and so on like online apps have. But as long as I have full control upstream I'm happy.
I wonder if this death of criticism is misty eyed nastolgia for a future that either never, or rarely existed.

Let's not forget that our so-called great universities:

- For a long time excluded women, Jews and many minorities.

- Were the providence of only the technocratic elite.

- Did very little research before the 20th century.

And now that the costs escalate out of control, is it any wonder that they have to go more commercial?

Some back of the envelope math: If every student takes 10 classes a year (5 per semester) and every professor teaches 5 classes per year to 20 students each, and gets paid 100K all-in, then the per-student faculty labor cost is 100K10/(205) = 10K per year. That's not too bad for critical learning. Expand the classes to 40 and you can cut the cost in half, or give the faculty a big raise.

Because then you are exposing your password to a potentially untrusted dev server? Unless you are making a new password for that server, in which case you are still better of by giving each server their own private key and registering the corresponding public keys for read-only access in your remote repo.

Another option: mount the corresponding directory of the dev server using sshfs, run git commands locally, run everything else remotely. Although I am not sure if there are any risks of mounting an untrusted directory via sshfs.
