It may have been smaller, no doubt, but this statement is not correct:

But in the 1400s, just being an artist is a huge enough accomplishment that people are going to know who you are.

Artists in da Vinci's day were more akin to craftsmen. Da Vinci himself was basically raised in an artist's workshop (by Andrea del Verrocchio) and worked alongside dozens of other students on their master's projects. This is in stark contrast to today's artists, who are basically expected to be the sole creative genius (barring people like Damien Hirst, of course, who is known to use assistants.)
Considering most academic labs that write scientific computing code have no engineering staff and most of the code is written by academics analyzing data, yes, I'd have to agree that "no engineering staff" constitutes an underpowered engineering staff.

But more importantly, keep in mind that many academics move on to a new institution every couple of years (after finishing undergrad/Ph.D./post-doc, etc.), so any code written more than 5 years ago likely has no maintainer and no one in the lab knows how it works.

1. Read Graham's intelligent investor.
2. Discover the Harry Browne ("Permanent") portfolio sooner ( http://gyroscopicinvesting.com/forum/permanent-portfolio-dis... ).
3. Investigate a brokerage window account through your company's retirement plan earlier.
4. Pay attention to P/E and P/B ratios.
5. Review the holdings of your index funds and consider whether ownership of growth stocks is acceptable to you. 6. Consider investing in value or dividend-growth index funds rather than a generic S&P 500 index.
This is certainly true in places with legal systems evolved from that of England. It's less true in France, where precedent is less important and courts don't have the power to make law.

I think this is largely from the persistent messaging from the news, etc. that we're not safe. Even if you completely dismiss it rationally, it's hard to keep it from seeping into your less rational thinking.
I, and I think most people, wouldn't want someone (nor the NSA) running around with license to do whatever they wish with my personal family photographs and then turn around and extort us either. Sure photographers have to make a living, but extortion and privacy violation is a bridge too far.

Might be cheaper to either have TaskRabbits with copyright assignment waivers or have family / friends do it at the expense of amateurishness for the peace-of-mind that you or your entourage doesn't end up on some stock photo site or kitsch choskey.
Quantum Key distribution is different from classical ones in that it allows Alice and Bob to detect Eve. This is because a measurement in Quantum mechanics disturbs the state. In particular for BB84, a measurement by Eve in the wrong basis destroys the correlation of Alice and Bob in the correct basis.

Unlike classical key distribution, these guarantees derive from fundamental physics laws as opposed to, say, RSA that can be broken given enough computing power/time, and so are unbreakable.

Unfortunately there can be flaws in actual implementations of the BB84 scheme, such as side-channel attacks. E91 [1] (a newer scheme) addresses these flaws and prevents these attacks.

Listen to your mentors and keep them close at hand. I was lucky to have a number of good ones early in my career. When you have a tough decision to make, seek their advice, don't bear it alone.

When I found myself without a mentor for a period of time, I tended to go astray.
Declaring in which line to switch context does not a scheduler make. Also, "yield from" does not just mean context switching but also returns a coroutine's result.

I have written quite a lot of asyncio and tornado code by now, and I can't remember a single instance where I had to yield/yield from/wait just because the computation would freeze up the thread or increase latency.

Coroutines really aren't about explicit scheduling, at the very most you can specify what code is executed without switching. And the latter is absolutely necessary in some situations. For example, threads or greenlets freak out Blender.

If you think you don't need to port, then don't port. If you don't like Python, don't use Python.
I use this pattern occasionally, though only when there is sufficient complexity to justify it. I see it as a tool similar to CQRS or hexagonal architecture. It is a way to manage complexity in a more maintainable manner that is easier to reason about and test.

I'll often use it when building out tasks and services, where a simple model (data) is passed into a service (context) and interaction/behaviour specific to that task is injected into the model. In Ruby I'll typically use refinements to do this.

The primary purpose of this approach is avoiding model bloat in my code by being able to decompose additional complexity over time in a flexible way.

And he borrowed from Shakespeare: Ran was based heavily on King Lear, Throne of Blood on Macbeth, and maybe some others too. And Shakespeare borrowed from others. That's the way creativity in art (and science and technology) work; hardly anything is made from whole cloth.

Is the concept behind our intellectual property system, that there is a single creator who owns the work, realistc?
Care to explain why? Right now you're just making an unbased statement. Please clarify!
It is an excellent piece of advice!
What I think he means is that most people don't react to what you do but how what you do makes them feel. People that are geared towards logical thinking should run a small emulation inside their head of how their actions would make their loved ones feel in response to their actions or inactions (yeap that last one is more tricky...). It doesn't have to be rational or fair all the time and requires you either are similar to that person so you can predict what they will feel or that you understand that person and can imagine what they would feel.

If you are a logical person and you don't master this then people will think you are inconsiderate and will subconsciously punish you for your lack of empathy...

EDIT: To emulate better the opposite sex seek advice from a completely honest outspoken friend of that sex.
Alpha-rhythm brain stimulation shown to boost creativity
I've read a number of Brunner's books, one that stuck with me was "The Sheep Look Up" [1] which was pretty much a composition of everything bad that can happen all happening and none of the potentially good things actually coming to pass.

Of course as an author you choose the things that move the story along and create tension. Not necessarily the boring things which keep things stable :-).

Sometimes though, having read a lot of SF in my life, I really do feel like I am "in the future" now as opposed to say in 1995 when folks were explaining what the Internet was on TV, and perhaps that is the source of the author of this article's observation. A lot of things that science fiction has imagined over the last 50 years have come to pass. That is pretty amazing.

They're also fibbing about not having a way to objectively measure and meter loudness.

It's existed for years as ITU-R BS.1770 in the U.S. (there a very, very similar recommendation called EBU R128 in the EU).

There are standard methods to meter percieved loudness and output energy, there is widely available hardware to implement this.

My solution is to not watch live television. Every once in a while I'll buy a boxed set of a show, or a backup of such a boxed set. I listen to it at the level of my music, metered with the recommended method from EBU R128.

In addition to the benefit of not being jarred by the loudness contrast, I get the benefit of being able to actually experience the whole movie or television show as one continuous feed, usually the way it was intended to be watched. The audio is also often lossless or close to it, the movies not cut awkwardly, my audio equipment is better on my personal computer than it is on anyone's living room.

Don't watch live television; it's expensive, offensively formatted, and usually not really that good.
The government needs to protect children before they're maimed by careless or stupid parents. A government agency letting you know what it considers risky behaviour is a good thing, so long as they don't set it too restrictively.

You may say "but what kind of fucking idiot would leave an 11 year old child at home alone for more than 24 hours?"

Here's a story about a woman who left her 11 year old boy alone at home while she went on a three week holiday.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2601747.stm

That article also mentions the case of a twelve year old boy who was left alone for a fortnight.

Thus, when CPS get a report of a child alone at home it's a good idea for them to ask (but not formally; not as part of taking action) if the child is safe or if the parents are going to be back that day or not.
Regarding romance: If you want a wife, make many male friends. Consistently be honourable, selfless, and good. Volunteer for your friends. Go out of your way. The networking effect is subtle, but your name will "spread through the marketplace".

Right. That's especially bad for a futures exchange. A cash Bitcoin exchange doesn't have any trading risk exposure. It can fail only through incompetence or criminality. A futures exchange/broker has trading risk - they have to be able to collect from losing traders.

They say "BitMEX stands behind all trades." That will probably break when someone suffers a big loss and doesn't pay up. The exchange is in the Seychelles, or at least claims to be. Collecting may be difficult.

There's no exchange control problem buying goods from China - that's both allowed and encouraged.
1. Don't over-estimate your ability to manage idiots--especially lazy idiots. They don't want to be managed or to improve.
2. Don't loan money to a business partner.
3. You are wrong about many things. Most importantly, you are wrong about how much people value quality vs. price. Your customer is the shopkeep--not the end user.
4. Don't hire inexperienced people.
5. Be more judicious in deciding if something is worth getting upset over.
6. Being a perfectionist will cripple your profits. Just get it done.
7. Be calculated in every decision you make. That's the only way to make money.
8. Focus on consumable goods. Sell razor blades, not razors.
Even before I got into web dev, I assumed something like that one-time-use token could be implemented to solve the problem. But back in the day, every online store had explicit instructions to "only hit submit once". Why didn't they just use the token solution?
I took an introduction to quantum computing with Gilles Brassard at Université de Montréal 2-3 years ago: it was a really fun class given by a great lecturer. If you're an undergrad or grad student at UdeM, consider taking a class with Gilles (he also teaches introduction to algorithms, IFT2125 or something), you won't regret it.
1958’s One-Of-kind Analog Computer at Vintage Computer Festival East
With the power of reading, you can see that these are all features Sublime already had. I find Sublime's fuzzy search to be far superior as well (both in terms of how quickly I can find what I'm looking for, and in the sense that if I say Cmd-P in Sublime to do file fuzzy search, I can then type "@" to see the definitions in the current file instead, or start fuzzy searching, and once a file is highlighted, append "@" to look at the definitions in that file. Or if I want to jump to a line just add ":32"). Atom doesn't support that.
I use keymetrics.io (to monitor my Node/PM2 app) and it works like a charm, too (:
Maybe a project with 50k files isn't a good use case for Atom. I work on a large (for me) Rails app with a couple thousand files, and never experience any slowness or issues.
Agreed, I've been attending mystical/religious/occult events for a while now and I just end up meeting weirdos.
Correction: CoffeeScript.

It's easy to mock Atom's technical decisions, but it might just be crazy enough to work. Computers are only going to get faster. Browsers are only going to get better at running JavaScript. And it makes a ton of sense for plugins, extensions, and theming.

Also, you get browser stuff for free. XHRs work in Atom. Even WebRTC video chat works in Atom.
XSEDE Helps Improve the Quality of Life in Cities and Towns
This. I refuse to watch commercials that interrupt me in any way or where I cannot pause rewind or otherwise control the content around them (this rules out broadcast tv and radio). It makes we irrationally angry and that is just not worth it. Even muting the tv isn't good enough, because the ads still interrupt the experience of watching.

I read earlier today google congratulating themselves on people having watch 100 million video ads on youtube and how this proved that people are willing to watch ads that interest them. Thats a load of bullshit, because you can't actually skip the ads until they have played for some time, and if you do the next video is going to have another ad (usually worse). Everybody I talked with hates those ads with a passion - usually youtube is the reason they finally install an adblocker.

Of course if you go the illegal route you get 1080p with no ads and super high quality.
Most human stories of any sort can be tied to the monomyth, as described in Joseph Campbell's The Hero of a Thousand Faces [0], which George Lucas has directly credited as an inspiration for his storytelling. The cinematographic aspects of the movie likely have similar inspirations, as do the acting styles of the cast, the arrangements of the set designers, of the paintings of good ol' Ralph McQuarrie... and so on. As life is, so art too is recursive.

Atom does support adding ":32" when fuzzy finding, to jump to a line.

Yes. In few weeks will announce DO support, after AWS+Azure.
Artist arrogance must be cousin of designer ego: folks that overrate themselves with hubris believing that others will see that as a signal of quality.

The only reason for a photographer to retain copyright is to screw unsuspecting people and others that will bend to the manipulate nonsense. If it's your private event and they're any good, they don't need unlimited rights to your memories. That's offensive.

The major benefit I see to the decorator syntax is that there is not an extra distinction about functions. So currently we may have normal functions and generator functions. The latter are mostly functions which just return an iterator. Do we have to make a second distinction?

Most of this is just "feeling". But good Python makes me feel good, so I sort of expect that from new features if I am to vote them up.

I might like "codef" more than "async def", if there absolutely have to be first-class coroutines.

There's a lot to learn from both sites, don't get me wrong. The problem is finding the right balance between learning and wasting time, which turns out to be a pretty difficult thing to do once you get sucked in.

I am most proud of my kids. They will be positively impacting the world's issues long after my passing. And as a result of being a parent I've come to appreciate that creating a good practice for solving a problem is much more durable than solving the problem, because problems are never "solved" they mutate like viruses and re-appear in a slightly different form which is resistant to the previous solution.
I think you and the parent are subtly not talking about quite the same thing. You advocate good television shows, he is talking about watching television in front of a television, as controlled by a television station, at their schedule.

It is quite possible to watch the shows on your terms, when it fits into your schedule - who is to say that you need to zone out at same time your favourite show in on air?
As an ex founder of similar ideas, good luck to you. This needs to happen. I'm just curious: doesn't tea give you a British angle?

From my perspective, not being able to re-sell that one great photo is exactly the deal you're making when hired to do a job. I wrote some pretty cool software for some past employers, and they could sell one of my patents for a few hundred grand, but they also paid me a fair wage so I signed away my rights.

If photographers' bread and butter is gallery shows, then they should come to my wedding for free, or maybe I should charge them admission to cover the costs of the extraordinarily expensive set and costume.
Don't go to Canada.
Just set up a Twitter (@SeriesF_News) I'll look into a Facebook next :) Thanks!
This challenge seems a bit over the top. The task is to write a fully functional service for creating a photo mosaic service that accesses third party apis for sourcing the photos. Constraints are that you are not allowed to use any libs from outside the include standard library (though you are expected to write tests using some tool the challenge author is apparently trying to push)... The whole things has to be deployed and publicly accessible.

Seems like quite a bit of work for the chance of winning a bunch of ebooks.
Every single parent alive today is descended from a long line of parents, dating back to the origin of life itself, that did not need CPS to tell them how to act.

The idea that after all of those successful iterations we are now too stupid to raise our own kids is incredibly insulting.
We can start looking towards some of the more modern-day sci-fi for inspiration for the next 20 years: Neal Stephenson's matter replicators and immersive realities, Alastair Reynolds' conjoiners and AI, Kim Stanley Robinson's life-extension and colonization, and (hopefully) Iain M Banks' carefree culture.

I just hope medical technology advances fast enough that we can all live long enough to experience all of this.
