No, it's not a "No True Scotsman" fallacy. Greece, crucially, does not print its own currency and there was no real lender of last resort available at the time.

It's been a trivial exercise for many years to point out that countries with even more debt than Greece are not going into debt crises for those exact reasons, with Japan as the almost canonical example with its still-low interest rates.
I was curious about the `insist { foo }` syntax – looks like it's coming from this:

If the median is the middle number, wouldn't that mean that around half of america makes less than $15/hr? The same wiki page says "slightly under 45% had incomes below $25,000". So a raise to $15/hr would potentially impact half the county.

Try working in a shop that does Linq. Link, Linq, and Lync sound exactly the same when spoken. So sentences like: "let me send you the linq link on lync" occur.
The solution to that is the one I offered - actually talking to the people who are on the other side, and asking them sincerely what is going on and what to do about it.

So if, say, someone is getting called out on "rape culture" language for demanding "full disclosure" from someone talking about sexism... instead of retreating into the comforting arms of "victim culture" and "1984" references, try asking some women what they think. Don't tell, don't lecture, just ask.

Have you heard of the Bechdel Test? It's a simple feminist film critique. In a movie, is there at least one scene where two women who have actual names and roles have a conversation that is not about men and what the men in the movie are doing? It's shocking how few movies pass that test (as Playboy just pointed out, The Avengers doesn't pass Bechdel Test, and a lot of the sexist language directed at Black Widow can be traced to that).

I think there's a corollary to Bechdel somewhere... does a man have multiple female friends with whom he can openly and honestly discuss their experiences of sexism as women? I'll bet a lot of men don't have that at all. Their opinion of women's experiences is formed almost entirely from their own experiences, and the observations of other men. No wonder they don't get it.
Supported with bug fixes, sure. Supported well enough to do modern application development (with the latest C#, .NET framework features, etc)? No. The last major release (Silverlight 5) was 4 years ago.

I used it when I worked at AOL for doing some customized load testing, then used it in a startup I co-founded afterwards as the worker in a queue system. CL was probably the most stable part of our infrastructure.

That said, I haven't seen much wide adoption of it, aside from companies that are specifically CL shops. However, I think as more and more people use it for side projects within bigger companies it may see more mainstream adoption.
Well, I have a pretty good github profile https://github.com/apsdehal but I still had a hard time finding intern this year. So I would say most of the github profile doesn't matter much, but it sure makes you look impressive. Also as far as I have experienced, if you apply in big companies, nothing matters for internship, only thing you should know is competitive programming.
> The proper time for austerity is when things are good.

Arguably, government fiscal restraint in strong economic times isn't "austerity" in any meaningful sense, but I'd agree that that countercyclical approach is right -- you want the government spending less (as a share of GDP) when the private sector economy is strong, and more when it is weak.

In talking of austerity Krugman neglects monetary policy[1] ("The key measure you want to look at is the ratio of debt to G.D.P." [2]), yet that chart you reference is inflation-adjusted 2009 dollars. That is to say, it is an apples to oranges comparison if we are going to talk of Krugman's version of austerity.

"McDonalds only has 14,339 franchises in the US [1] -- where the pay raise debate is happening."

As I mentioned in another reply, the point was more to recalibrate understandings of the money size involved than to specifically speak to this discussion.

I'm not sure how you "corrected" for the number of franchises, then... if you did it by accounting all worldwide profit as for US franchises that is not a "correction". And regardless of the correction remember not to party too hard with "profit" amounts right now when McDonalds may very well go negative in the near future; the point I'm trying to make survives that, but it would make hash of yours. Profit is not guaranteed!

Somewhere online I saw a list of the profit margins of all the Fortune 100. Single-digit percentages were the norm. I was unable to google it up for this.

"> Capitalism is very efficient...

People are not. People making minimum wage don't always have the flexibility to take risks that would allow them to advance. "

That's a complete nonsequitor. And moreover it's a frankly stupid accusation of me you're trying to implicitly make. Give me the button to push to make everyone in the world effectively as rich as billionaires and somehow it all works out with no negative effects, and I'd push it in a heartbeat. I'd love to manifest Iain Bank's Culture. It sounds great.

But in the real world, we have to work with what resources we have, and we don't actually have anywhere near as many as people think. The rich may be rich, but divide their riches up somehow perfectly efficiently amongst everybody, and we all get a lot less than our generally-innumerate intuitions are telling us we would.

Recruiters won't care, they just scan your resume and will see a masters. Nobody will know what you learned by the degree and school unless they went through the same program. Personally, I wouldn't do a MS without a thesis that clearly made me more qualified for the job I wanted. That's assuming I couldn't get work that would do the same.

You need to do some research. You want to use this as a springboard for a startup job? Identify 5 startups you'd love to work for and ask them how you get from where you are to employed by them.

Also search LinkedIn for recent grads of that program and see where they ended up. Message them about their experience in the program.

The fees for options at TD Ameritrade and Schwab are $10 + $0.75 per options contract. Forget the $10 base fee, if I understand correctly it's the per contract fee that's exorbitant. Take the QQQ ETF: put options that are a little out of the money cost $2-$3 each, so the 75 cent fee is around a third of the investment amount, and if you incur another 75 cent fee per contract if/when you sell then it's even worse
I don't think you have to worry about the chip getting too hot unless it turns out there is a serious manufacturing defect. This chip is quite unlike the ones in earlier MacBooks and is closer in efficiency and thermal performance to a chip you'd find in a phone or tablet. So it'll just throttle down for a bit, not fry, no matter what you throw at it.

Plus, once you have a chip that efficient, it simplifies your heat dissipation... a lot of times you'll have people put chips that really aren't made for laptops in because they are relying on the air flow to cool it to compensate, but air flow can be very unreliable. And that is the exact situation you have with some of the more notorious heat problems of other laptops. If however you have a good chip, and know it can't exceed X heat generation, and its low enough you can passively cool it, that's actually much more reliable... there's nothing mysterious about how much heat can be transferred from a chip to the piece of metal touching it, and the rate at which it transfers (note sturdiness and looks is not the only reason the case is metal). So in a lot of ways this device is actually far more thermally dependable than most actively cooled laptops, even though it'd seem to be the opposite at first glance.

As an aside, have you tried Win 8 for your VM? If you can deal with the UI, Win 8 is about 20% more efficient than 7 due to changes made for tablet support in 8. If you're running 8 in a VM and the VM is on a laptop and you're having heat issues, switching might be particularly beneficial. Also, consider VMWare Fusion or Parallels... I use VirtualBox myself but there's no question that the native Mac versions of the 2 main commercial VMs are going to be more efficient and give you less heat problems on day to day tasks.

Nodes I/O base actually uses a thread pool for the C++ bits that run in the background/waiting. For the most part, node/iojs is ideal in scenarios where you are I/O constrained, which is a surprising majority of them.

That said, I've run into issues actually using node for stream processing data... taking information from flat files, or sql record queries. In practice very few modules actually implement backpressure properly, and as a result it can/will eat through ram. Exposing GC and running it on every iteration in these instances helps, but once you hit 1-1.7GB of ram use, the process dies in a fiery inferno. That said, you are actually better off running the 32-bit engine in windows environments (not sure about linux, I haven't actually tried to compare).

This seems to be more of a puff piece on ARM than Node.js though... I like node a lot, but it does have it's limitations... if you need to process a LOT of data (imports/migrations) and can't chunk or otherwise break out your data, you may well run into issues. In my case, trying to run through 119m records would run out of memory faster than it could manage to push them into a message queue from node, ymmv.
The Rise of Internet TV Boxes and Streaming Media
I wonder if Google will realize it's now going to be forced to push "Android laptops" for "native performance" on the market instead of doing it on top of Chrome OS (like Microsoft is doing here) which is a battle it's going to lose.

Android laptops = all 1.5 million apps work by default (although might have some UI issues at first, depending how Google implements them - I think they should just put them in "windows") - unlike ChromeOS/Windows 10 approach which will require devs to add every single app to those stores.
The US Government understands that by funding the right NGOs and CSOs, it can project power by laundering its intentions through the goodwill and civic intentions of entrepeneurs, volunteers and activists. But it often takes this too far and embarrasses itself (as was the case with the Cuban Twitter NGOs).

This isn't exactly illegal - but the use of NGOs and CSOs to foment revolutions, weaken regimes, organize protests and replace governments around the world is starting to get significant resistance from other states which results in closed borders and fractured rather than unified global civil interaction. Russia has fully obliterated all civil organizations from the West because it was not able to differentiate which ones were puppets for the CIA or State Department and due to frustration with both the political upheaval they were organizing and the role they played in leading the Euromaiden protests in Ukraine.

Understand that if your civil project is being invested in it is because it magnifies US power. On its face that's not a bad thing - we probably want to live and certainly benefit greatly from a powerful nation - it just means that you should be aware about what you are getting yourself involved in.
Think of it as like the Java runtime environment, but not terrible.

You have two main pieces: the Common Language Runtime, which is the virtual machine (like the JVM) that executes the code. Then you have the library it comes with, which is fairly large compared to most languages.

Or is he just a good liar? There are big negative consequences irregardless of what path is taken, voluntarily or otherwise -- but certain choices allow others time to run for cover. Perhaps he believes what he is saying, but absolutely individuals with self-serving intentions benefit by repeating it: corporations, government, and ultra-wealthy.

If the problem is a shortage of money, then the future is full of things that are built with borrowed money: roads, cars, bridges, power plants, factories, chain retail stores, restaurants, suburban sprawl, hotels, and high rise apartment/condo/office buildings. These guys imagine taking the last 50 years and plotting financed growth indefinitely in to the future. There is not much imagination in a nation plastered from one border to another with McDonalds and cookie cutter communities, but what is financed must have past blueprints to provide mathematical models behind the loan.

If an economy must have continuously increasing prices to succeed, then Krugman is right. In tech, I think we would be fucked if we had to pay more money for less every year. That is what Krugman wants. (What I've observed tends to happen is prices of what is financed speed up vs what is not financed, like wages.)

The thing that stuck out to me in 2007 was how low yields were for very unattractive debt. It has happened again. Watch out.

As human beings that evolved for living in smaller tribes, our anger and retribution instinct makes a lot of sense. If you get a reputation for just accepting being walked all over, then your life will be much worse. You need to need have honor, and to defend your honor, and attack those who bully you. But in the modern world, reputation does not travel in the same way. Nor do you have the same tools for defending yourself. Duels became passe long ago. So fighting back often is just net negative to your own interests. When you run into a bad boss, the past option is usually to play along and then plot an escape.
I am a Java dev and don't use VS and things basically work "out of the box" for me. I used to be a big "Linux is the best dev env" kinda person but I've changed my mind since I started doing Window's development - it really is just as easy - for the stuff I do.
It is like the Java runtime, but started afresh with all of Java's learned lessons taken into account (although Java with 7 and 8 in particular is catching up).

Up until now however it has only ran on Windows which was its biggest "downside" Vs. Java which runs on many platforms.

This article has a ring of truth. With HTTP/2 gaining traction I cannot help but wonder if a lot problems could be solved by going down a level of complexity instead of stacking more layers on top of TCP.

For example why not allow UDP from Javascript in the browser with CORS like protections to limit DOS attacks. I.e., only allow UDP connections back to the origin unless the server explicitly allows non-origin access from the requesting domain.

This approach seems a lot simpler and opens the doors to all kinds of improvements not just those designed into HTTP/2.
