I've been writing in Go at work nearly every day for the past year. I think that of the problems both Go and Rust attempt to solve, Rust solves them better in a technical and academic sense. As someone who prefers C and C++ over Python and Java, I personally would rather use Rust, but I have to say that Go strikes a great balance for general-purpose use. It is as fast to develop and as flexible and extendable as Python. Similar performance to Java but with much less code, better interoperability, and a more robust standard library. More features than C without the needless complexity of C++. Entirely too opinionated and the build system and dependency management are 80% solutions / hacks, but for the most part you can work around them. Most importantly, I think Go can be easily picked up and used by C, C++, Java, PHP, JavaScript, Python, C#, Objective-C, XYZ, ETC programmers alike with very little learning curve (some more than others perhaps).

I think with Rust, you are going to have a hard time training someone who has depended on GC for so long that they have to be explicit about the ownership and transfer of ownership of memory and that it's elegant and cool and performant to do so. You are going to have trouble explaining traits and composability and the syntax around it to someone who is used to using more verbose syntax to implement complicated inheritance trees. Pattern matching and enums are fantastic, but also foreign to most of the programming public.

This is why Go is spreading - good middle ground for productivity and performance, easy to pick up, seemingly bright future, Google backing, good documentation (no doc is perfect - Sphinx is frequently not great, Javadoc is terrible, Doxygen is meh, MSDN is overgrown with cruft - but Godoc is decent), etc.
Intro to SQL: Querying and managing databases
Could this be perhaps as big of a contribution to the auto market for consumers as actually having an electric car? What if Tesla makes the dealership model obsolete. That would be an incredible side effect.
I haven't found that stuff overly difficult so far.

http://downloadsqlserverexpress.com/ is a nice source to install SQL Server and Management Studio from, which also has a link to a blog post kinda mocking how ridiculously hard it is to find the installer on the Microsoft website.

I also find it odd just how long it takes to install, versus Postgresql on Windows installing in like 5 minutes I think.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do with users and permissions, but I haven't had much trouble with that in Management Studio. Add a new login in the server Logins folder, set either a username/password or domain authentication, select databases and set permissions. Not that I've tried anything tricker like assigning multiple users to a role, or doing stuff with AD groups.

https://www.connectionstrings.com/ is a decent resource for connection strings too. It seems to be pretty easy, as long as you're connecting from other Microsoft tools, like Management Studio, sqlcmd, ADO.NET, etc. I'm pretty sure I once spent like a day or so trying to figure out how to get ActiveRecord to connect to SQL Server before I got it working.

That said, the usual lessons could stand to pay more attention to this kind of management stuff.
D language is also worth taking a look at. It's a very smart language designed for systems programming.
I took the same route - instead of trying to keep HTML in one place, JS in another, CSS in another I made separate files for each component including all the necessary HTML, JS and CSS in one file. It makes more sense because I write them together and debug them together. Also, I don't need to find where are the CSS selectors in a huge monolithic CSS file, or the same about JS functions. I don't let a component become too complex, so the 1 file/component ratio is just right.
I didn't see the original job post, but based on the one she presented, it wasn't an Engineering role.
I had a dealer chase me out and then call me back and then offer me to deliver the car and contract to my home but they were so rude earlier that I went somewhere else and ended up getting an even better deal...

thanks to http://www.truecar.com. I don't know if they still help you get a good deal, but I was able to use the best deal in my area from truecar.com and bring it to someone else that was closer to me and they beat that price. I'm not sure if I got a really good deal but I ended up paying less then MSRP with taxes and fees included, so I was happy.
I used to work at a car dealership as a title clerk. You are right about one thing: car salesmen are desperate. They're being conned just as much as the buyers are. Their ability to support their families is tied to their commission. At the dealership I worked at, the salesmen literally drew lots to see how much of their base salary they would have to pay to the company that month in "operating costs." The theory behind that one was to keep the salesmen keen to close sales.

That was my first job, but I've had dozens since and nowhere else have I seen such unambiguously shady and downright illegal behavior occur under one roof, almost entirely by the senior management and higher. The rank and file weren't too bad. Every one of them would tell me to learn all I could there, but go back to college so I wouldn't have to do what they did for a living.
Which CPU is this for?
Out of curiosity, how do you know it would greatly influence their workflow?
Oh god, no more Access. Access has a weird semi-dialect of SQL where it's insanely picky about how you position parenthesis in multiple join statements. I found it impossible to get a query right without the graphical query generator, and that's after routinely writing 5-10 table joins in T-SQL. No thanks, I'd recommend Sqlite over it anyday for a lightweight database. Works great on command line or in any of dozens of helper tools on any platform, and it's Free.
I doubt the equilibrium would be perfect.
Even if the balance tips only 2 or 3 percent towards less tax / more spending, it would still represent the citizens opinion better than the decision making models of modern day democracies do.
So by immutable he means... systems you don't patch? That's it?
Stephen Wolfram actually argued that the universe is probably computational in nature. New Kind of Science is generally based around the idea.
I dont disagree, legit reason.
Australia undersea cables arent the problem, monopoly is. Even your super duper national fiber network has data caps on INTERNAL TRAFFIC. This has nothing to do with intercontinental links, its just greed. Everyone gauges everyone in Australia.

Your internet is like your real estate - plenty around and you still pay stupid prices.
With containers, there's http://lattice.cf , which deploys Docker containers in this style with routing and load balancing; it's a simplified version of Cloud Foundry.

With VMs, there's http://bosh.io which has a bit of a learning curve but is ground up designed to be about designing & deploying immutable software releases
If the FCC's rules are just SOPA in disguise then why did all the republican's cry about it when they heavily supported SOPA until the backlash?

SOPA was killed after threat of veto from the white house but then Obama supports net neutrality rules from the FCC it is now suddenly SOPA 2.0 OH MAH GOD?

So you are wrong on both points, SOPA did not ever pass (PIPA in the senate did not pass either), and net neutrality is not some secret government takeover of the internet. Unless you feel that the first amendment is the government taking over free speech?
I always join for the team and the people. I like to see what their passions are like because that would usually yield a better working environment. It's also very easy to pick up new knowledge when people are passionate about something and just want to nerd out on that subject.
> I hate seeing talented development hours going to waste that could have been used to make an already existing project better.

They didn't go to waste. They made Deku and learned a lot along the way. Just because something exists, doesn't mean you can't build your own. And not everything has an immediate, positive outcome.

I wrote my own MP3 Player back when Winamp really whipped the llama's ass. That got my name in a local newspaper in India, which ended up being the small boost I needed for the Consul General to grant me a Student Visa to come to the US. A few years later, a fan of my MP3 Player messaged me and we became good friends. I interviewed for a job in Florida and ended up staying at his place for the weekend. A few years later, while I continued to work at the job in Florida, my friend and I built a scheduling webapp that made it to the front page of Wired during SXSW.

An incredibly long list of positive things that happened in my life, I can track back to spending a week or two writing that MP3 player in my youth. If you ask me, I'd do it all over again. So I'm glad they build Deku, regardless of how it compares to React.
Well I'd be thrilled to hear your ideas, or tips what to read to get myself into that area (yeah I work as DevOps but still early on in my career).

I am not sure if even in the case of Google the engineers are sorting some big N in one iteration, or merely just interview questions. Regardless I think knowing one or two techniques how to sort big array is useful...
He's putting his money where his mouth is. How is that meaningless?
if Australia & New Zealand decided it was a national priority and approached it with an infrastructural rather than profit-oriented basis

The current conservative government in Australia has decided that internet is a luxury, not a nation-building project, and scuttled the NBN, a project intended to provide infrastructural improvement to the 'tubes. It ain't going to be a 'national priority' here any time soon.

Which is weird, because business benefits from fast tubes a lot more than consumers do, and usually the conservatives are the pro-business politicians.
If you live in any modern city (not sure about the US though since the car culture is prevalent there in most places) you usually don't need a car for daily activities or going to work. But once you want to have 1) kids 2) a bigger place 3) some land instead of just an apartment, you will end up living farther from the city and having to own a car at some point, unless you have a very large income that can accommodate such standards of livings right inside the city.
"“She sees where her scores fall on all these charts compared to all these other kids, and then she feels like she is behind or ahead or right in the middle, so she feels like she’s just average rather than excellent at what she does,” she said."

to me that feels like everything that is wrong with education right now. Talking to friends that are educators. parents seem to want to be blissfully ignorant of anything that says their child isn't a genius. Parents seem to think that passing the mandated standardized test is a sign that their child is ahead rather than what it really means that they might just barely have met the min bar.
Yeah, I definitely think donation matching is generally a good deal from the charity's perspective.

When I wrote this I was more thinking from the perspective of someone who has a large fixed donation and is deciding what to do with it. In that case, they might want to back a matching campaign, but if they're trying to maximize the impact of their donation, they would want to know whether such a campaign would actually draw out more donations.

But why wouldn't whoever was renting those rooms long-term have a car?

If you're comparing "single person in a house with multiple bedrooms" to "multiple people in a house with multiple bedrooms", then it's fairly obvious that the latter case would have park more cars on average.

But if there are people renting those rooms, I don't see how it matters if they're there for the weekend or for a year.
90% of the art in the collections of most big museums will never be seen by anybody. Held "in private hands", there's arguably a better chance people will eventually get to see it than if it sits in storage indefinitely - the fate of all but a tiny fraction of artefacts held in major museums.
How is it unfair? The cheap products performed as well as the expensive products.
It was laggy as hell, and the advert that popped up brought the window to a crawl. The overlay was unexitable by clicking in the grey area, what should be considered a standard best practice by now.

Sounds a lot like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_(programming_language)
It is in fact a pretty jerkish thing to do.
I have never taken a programming class in-person. I have always taken it online and just bang out the code and turn it in. However, all the upper division CS classes are interesting and I did attend all those in-person. At that point, you get to hear the professor's stories based on their experiences which is very valuable.

That said, industry is very different from school. There are still things that I am re-discovering from classes and finally understanding after being in industry.
That doesn't currently happen? I'm in Aus - so things are different - but certainly here there's an awful lot of pubs with only the one mega brewers beers on tap (aka - either SABMiller or Lion Nathan). In the same ways that most smaller stores have either coke or pepsi but not both. They are not forced they are just incentivised.
You mean Douglas Hofstadter.
Hams have received probe signals before (see the amateur-dsn group on Yahoo) but I'm pretty sure no one has decoded data from any modern probe. They apparently have their reasons for encrypting it through obscurity if nothing else.

Some of our most advanced modulation formats were originally developed for DSN work, in fact. They represent a space-program spinoff that doesn't get the attention it deserves.
Amazing you believe Americans benefit from the torture and murder of innocents.

If you willingly work for those who torture and murder innocent people you are not a good person, sorry for all those out there who dont like to hear the truth.
If you are on the JVM, our service does exactly this today: https://boxfuse.com

I don't know what will be said but I've wondered why they went to 128 bit addresses when 64 should have been "enough for anybody." Note 64 bit isn't double 32, but rather like 4 billion times more if my math isn't too far off.

Imagine having to type those addresses out by hand. Though skipped 0 are allowed, hex only helps a little. Not looking forward to that.
>You can't, you're dead

Yeah, the idea is to do it before you die. You could e.g. setup a foundation to operate after your death and have in its statue (article of incorporation?) that if you ever return you get them back.

Besides technical solutions, like using cryptocurrency or simply burrying your assets somewhere only you know about where they'd be safe. Or use this, if those announcing it got anywhere and weren't scamers:

The Reanimation Foundation will, it is said, be the "first cryonics
organization to enable individuals signed up for cryonics to take their
money with them. It will be able to offer this service because it will be incorporated in Liechtenstein, which has no rule against perpetuities."

>There's no legal precedent for a person returning from the dead.

How about people being declared legally dead after gone missing and then re-appearing a few decades later. There have been several such cases in the past (sometimes those people got married elsewhere and started a new life, etc).
Yes, although note that he was not the first. The famous physicist Wheeler pushed that thesis all the way back in the 1960s, under the the catchy title "It from Bit".

Even without --verify, stackage-update is providing a far more secure setup than what you get from cabal update today (since it downloads over SSL). I didn't want to make GPG configuration an impediment to people using this tool, thereby pushing them towards something even less secure.

Longer term, we need a better answer, most likely using a config file to state your preference, and eventually switching the default to --verify.
Perhaps PhD math programs don't hold your hand through teaching data science, but it isn't a horrible way of preparing you for a (first) job in data. Color me impressed when a history major picks up data science!
Not much more, I left the networking group for the "project Green" group in 1992. The director in charge of that project had been working on it for a bit before I transferred but to be honest I don't recall if that started before the end of '91 or in early '92.
> As an aside, I think people don't fully consider the effectiveness of earning more money as a form of altruism. Since around 30% will be taken by the government, and used to fund various social services, the choice to earn more money is really the choice to earn money and donate 30%.

I'm super sympathetic to this idea, but I think generally there are even more effective places to donate extra earnings than the government! For one thing, a lot of government programs aren't very efficient for various political reasons. For another, even the worst-off people in the US are largely better off than the people that you could help by giving to organizations that work abroad. (Personally, I'm a fan of GiveWell's[1] approach to finding the most effective places to give.) But I agree that trying to earn money in order to fund this sort of thing is an under-appreciated idea, and in fact exactly what I'm trying to do :)

Granted, you did put "cutting edge" in quotes, but it's still worth stating explicitly, Go isn't cutting edge, and neither are Ruby, Node.js, NoSQL, or most of the other technological rehashes ignorant developers get excited over.

These people would never pay any attention to old, boring technology like Lisp or Smalltalk or even (given the success of NoSQL) ACID-compliant relational databases like PostgreSQL. But repackage some of the good ideas from them and pass them off as your own, fire up your hype machine, and these clueless devs will eat it up.

Why, look at the cult-like following Matz enjoys for creating a half-baked Smalltalk and Perl knock-off.
The only way you always get the government want is when you are a dictator in North Korea. Instead of throwing a tantrum that has no real result, spread the word about your beliefs in a non-condescending way. You might even get some people to change their minds.
Maybe I'm missing the point you're trying to make, but a node that's shut down isn't exactly available.
> Why not?

i'd say it means the market isn't being allowed to work or even exist in the first place, which is the whole point of this discussion. 'going for it' is exactly what the establishments are trying to keep Tesla from doing.
You should follow the course exactly..and then add onto what is required. This way, you won't get marked down for not following directions.

It's not always fun, but what work is? The main benefit is that you get paid extremely well and you can use the money to have fun.
> Just because %60 of the population, for instance, wants to ban gay marriage, they should't be able to. IT should take %95 or something like that.

If you want no decisions to be made, then setting thresholds like that is the best way for statu-quo. Or you know, you can actually have a constitution for things to be prevented to change in the first place.
Or you could adopt a platform that has made a lot of those opinionated decisions in a pre-integrated config.

There's a chance it might not be a fit but then it's a matter of whether it's easier to start somewhere and tweak it vs. starting ground up.
I've been using Copy because they give a lot of free space, but not for many other reasons. Dropbox remains king - especially if you consider editing. The new integration with Office is very nice.
It's not the one node that shuts down, the whole system flicks a switch and ceases to be. It's incompatible with partitions.

So while you end up with something that's for most purposes worse than CP, it's still a possible configuration.

Availability does not require uptime. It only requires that if you are up, you are fully functional.
While I do empathize with the author, all the comparison screenshots were just Bootstrap. There wasn't anything custom designed, just a few color changes. That said, it feels strange to call someone out for copying when you are just using a library that everyone else has access to.

On another note, what would be a good way to prevent something like this when inviting users in for beta?
> he's opposed to just about everything that Obama

Obama knows his hands are tied by the lobbying efforts of powerful interests that are so strong he can't act as he wishes.

Hiring Felton sounds like he wants someone on his team that can come up with the rhetoric that he'll need to be able to match his actions with his words.
There are a couple of problems with the analysis you linked to, primarily that it doesn't differentiate between premeditated and unplanned crimes. It specifically mentions that "half of all state prisoners were under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of their offense." This article suggests that more carefully examining the way people interpret severity can demonstrate that in many cases, severity is an effective deterrent [http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1541-0072.2001....].

I contend that cattle theft is typically planned in advance and not a spur-of-the-moment offense.

> This is what libertarians would like.

I don't think you can say that. Libertarians are not a single group with a single dogma or something.

I've seen some libertarians making a good case for a Monarch-like figure as well. Instead of having elected representatives who basically have no responsibility since they change every 5-10 years, having someone for life embodying the State may be something more reliable for the Country in the longer term, and who would have to listen to the people since they would not be going anywhere a few years later.

I can't say I really agree with the idea, but I can't really condone democracy as it is right now, where people who have no education, who can't reason with logic, and don't care about anything except their own situation have as much voting power as people who are trying to make reasonable, structured decisions based on principles or a good understanding of the country's situation. "Democracy" as we call it is not perfect indeed, and it actually sounds like the worst compromise of all options we have out there. That's the lowest denominator, and we can see how it keeps failing us over and over again no matter how we hope it can work.

Your democracy can only be as good as your people, and that says a lot about the quality of what we have right now.
2x preference is way off market these days. Most financings are 1x non-participating. The linked study says they saw multiple preference in 3% of the unicorn deals.
Blargh.. of course, perfect time to have a brain fart :)
A 2-3% yearly loss in purchasing power adds up; at current inflation levels, $10,000 that sits in a checking account will be worth the equivalent of $8800 today in 5 years. Losing ~20% of your banked value per decade that it sits uninvested is substantial. It'll be worse if inflation is higher.
