I think no one could argue that the creators index does not in any way reflect their values. But that doesn't make GDP any better as a measure. Think of it this way, what country would you have liked to be randomly born into the most? The one where you will be able to participate in society no matter who you are, or the one where a subset of the population makes the most money? Would you like to be born into Saudi Arabia as a woman?* They have a great GDP per capita.

I think we have to accept that there is no objective measure of success of a country. In fact we haven't even figured out how to measure success of a company reliably, even if we constrain our self to measuring shareholder value. The best we can do is try finding measures that somehow correlates with quality of life and be explicit about what we are measuring.

* In case you are not sure, you don't want to be born into Saudi Arabia as a woman.

While I understand Google's need for people who can deal with asymptotic behavior, five of my six interviews there were for Site Reliability Engineering. I would expect an SRE to look for software bugs, sometimes hardware bugs. Consider that with hundreds of thousands of servers, quite likely at least a few of them have defective memory. I had some ideas for an automated way to find all the defective memory in an entire data center, but no they didn't want to discuss that with me, they wanted me to come up with a certain of scalable algorithm.

The human eye has always made me wonder of the sheer complexity of the human body. It's an amazing epitome of evolutionary success...
Exactly, it feels very strange that anyone would find it "rather curious" that the eye has evolved toward a local optimum. And moving the wiring out of the light's path would allow for even more of this concentration mechanism in front of the retina.
Yeah, It's really amazing that so much of it is not hard coded features but just idioms in nixpkgs. But that might make it harder to learn.

Best i could find, Poettering started work on Pulseaudio because he picked up a usb headset (basically a usb soundcard with tethered headset) and ran into issues with switching the IO streams around mid-use (say plugging it in while in the middle of a Skype call).

Not sure why he passed on using JACK though, or if it was not mature enough for him at that stage.

Also, i don't think Alsa had dmix (user-space software mixing) at that point in time.

As best i can find the one thing Alsa is missing is a interface other than .alsarc for configuring pr user virtual devices.
I have. I once had an interviewer ask me to write CSS code that generated an American flag. I used the nth-child selector to render 13 alternating red and white stripes. The guy asked me why I did that instead of making the background white and painting red stripes over the top of it. I didn't get the job and the reason the recruiter told me I was rejected was because my CSS code was wrong.

I wrote and verified IP and I worked at the SoC integration level. I would say hardware engineers realize the tools suck but this stuff is targeting issues I don't care about.

The bugs are not due to language generally. If software guys want to write a new language for HW engineers, they need to ask HW engineers what the issues are rather then go off on a tangent.

As it is they don't even know what the workflow is like and where the real pain lies. They are just writing tools for themselves. The problem is their applications are not commercial.

New commercial tools are targeted at the verification side: UVM etc. This is where most of the time is consumed. This is where the software guys could offer some actual solutions because UVM is object oriented all over the place. Us HW guys are idiots and don't understand the performance costs of making all the object hierarchies and using reflection everywhere. When simulations are so long and on such large designs, the computing resources needed becomes huge.

I really recommend you first read about nix with http://lethalman.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/nixpills . Once you've done that, the simple instructions at http://wiki.ocharles.org.uk/Nix should get you going.

You can try to skip to the wiki page, but in the likely case something doesn't go quite right, it will be hard to debug without a broader knowledge of Nix.

I'll admit Nix's has quite the learning curve, and I was more tempted to sneak around its uncompromising rigidity than when learning Haskell. But the bitter pill is worth it.

For the sake of a single manager for my whole system I'll stick with nix. But yes, it would be nice if it knew more about versions. In a future where upstream projects can maintain their own nix packages, I think this will be unavoidable.
Maybe this is where I disagree and didn't make it clear. I have no problem with banning an account. No one would even notice that this account was banned probably.

What I have problem with is the stance of the admin/dev/supervisor/whatever towards a user who fund and exploited a bug.

Humiliating publicly a game character was never in the context of the game. The character didn't lose a battle, the admin took over the account by force and eliminated the character, then he published the video for other users to see. Imagine if the death sentence in the US was not an electric chair but a Colosseum-like show with lions eating men alive, broadcasted on national TV. They were going to die anyway, so why not make up a show, use the money for ... I don't know, public education/research? :-) - would that make the action appropriate/ethical/understandable?

This is not another virtual death otherwise we wouldn't be talking about it, would we?

At a glance, it looks like the solar road system uses semi-modular panels. That could possibly make road work much easier than it is on asphalt, which requires a ridiculous array of equipment to cut away the offending area before work begins, then lay down an entirely new replacement section once work is complete.

It sounds like it's far too early and you would blow your chances with investors, and probably even angels. If you could manage to take on experienced business co-founder, that might signal some validation that the venture might have legs. But you're not going to get very far in the jungle of business on a wing and a prayer alone, you need someone and/or advisors with experience. If you could convince someone that has exited before, that would add to overall perception and validation. If investment were absolutely required for a venture to survive, it often comes across as desperation and a red flag to investors that makes them wary of the founders' ability to manage money and contain costs... ignorance is no excuse when it comes to money. That said, it is imperative for founders to track and minimize costs to demonstrate penny- and pound-wisdom to potential investors. Demonstrating religious accounting hygiene may mean the difference between investment and non-investment (see also: Felix Dennis).

I hope your venture is successful and be sure to keep the team together and pivot into something else if the current thing doesn't work out... good teams are hard to come by. (The more valuable thing than success is learning what mistakes were made and what move/s would have been better.)
AntiVaxers-Measles might leave your child immunosuppressed years after infection

I guarantee you, I can find in your behaviour reason to investigate you. I can find isolated facts that, when linked together, suggest that you are spying for someone or that you're an insurgent against your government or that you're planning a crime or something, doesn't matter what, I'll pick something to accuse you of when I get round to filling in the charge sheet.

If we look for spies, we find spies. If we look for child abusers, we find child abusers. If we look for terrorists, we find terrorists (sometimes we have to create them ourselves first and then arrest them).

In theory, there are checks and balances and procedures and, to be honest, sensible adults in the system to ensure that we aren't just joining up disparate facts about people into bullshit conspiracies. However, the system is not working properly and these are the victims.

Also, going to China, where you have family, is suspicous now? On a tangential note, I'm (amongst other things) a naval officer; I've been to China and North Korea on holiday, more than once, and my unit security officer's reaction was to say "Wow, brilliant!", because he's an adult.

imho it makes sense to focus more on further improving dart2js to ensure it works really well across all JavaScript virtual machines and to make interop with JavaScript & TypeScript super smooth.

The Dart VM (as well as the Observatory) are fantastic. At Blossom (https://www.blossom.co) we currently use the Dart VM for command line tools but we're looking into using it on the server side as well.

I guess you were especially interested in the performance improvements that the Dart VM could bring if it was added to Chrome? I expect that we'll also see performance improvements for dart2js as JavaScript runtimes become better compilation targets (e.g. SIMD.js, BigInt, SoundScript, …).

The interesting thing here is that the Dart team can focus on other areas like …

* the standalone Dart VM

* fletch (an experimental mobile optimized runtime)

* Observatory

* async/await

* libraries (e.g. the new `test` package)

* analyzer (used for semantic code completion & warnings and powers IntelliJ, Eclipse, Sublime, Atom (soon), DartPad see https://dartpad.dartlang.org/)

* …

and many other things in the meantime. Getting the Dart VM into Chrome and have it play nicely with v8 is not trivial.
So is Ubuntu.
On the other hand, you could also say it's like jumping into physics without knowing any quantum mechanics. You can learn a lot before you need to start covering implementation details.
Although the video going viral is a bit much, in general, I'd view the humiliation as potentially giving a positive lesson to a 14-year-old. Griefing (which I'd call obvious cheating a form of, though I don't play GW2 and don't know the exact circumstances here) is a really uniquely digital phenomenon, because you can go around pissing people off and laughing about it without any real consequences - at worst your account gets banned, and you can go make a new one - and with the separation of anonymity and limited chat tools making it easy to mentally dehumanize your targets. Now, to some extent I think griefing can be funny, especially if honed to an art like in those YouTube videos; in the majority of games where the consequences of dealing with a griefer are little more than a few minutes' irritation, the people who get most annoyed sometimes need to chill out and remember they're just playing a video game. But it also gives the griefer a power trip in exchange for behavior that would be pretty anti-social if applied in the real world. By making the griefer encounter a form of social judgement for their actions, rather than just a faceless "you are banned" screen, they're giving them a taste of reality.

Also, there's no such thing as bad press. The player in question is now infamous for this video, which I bet they see as a silver lining at worst; more ego-boosting than the hacks themselves at best.

(I say this as someone who, in my early teens, was on the receiving end of a banhammer or two on sites I really cared about; I probably remember these instances relatively well because they invoked strong negative emotions in me, which I guess isn't good, but they also made me introspect and resolve to be more mature in the future. Never cheated in video games though.)
An awesome meta thing to do would be to make it play it's own source code as a beat.

While I agree with all the points listed in the article, it highlights for me a major problem of a lot of code reviews.

Most code reviews seem to focus on:

1. Examining what the change does
2. Finding ways to make the change in a nicer way. E.g. Refactoring etc.

This leaves out the key step 0 - what is actually trying to be achieved, does it need to be done and is there a better (maybe completely different) way to do it.

This leads to a focus on relatively trivial matters such as naming conventions and method lengths.

I think that the underlying reason for this is laziness. Talking about clever refactoring is an easier/faster process than understanding the 'why'.
Scala. Because it combines the best of OO and Functional worlds. Martin Odersky has done something amazing. He has managed to create a language that strikes a balance between academic purism and the needs of practical business.

Haskell, Idris, Erlang, Lisp etc. are excellent languages as well. This is just my opinion.
Reducing the importance of education to status games seems to me as a pretty absurd notion, considering that how educated a population is has an important (if often hard to precisely measure) impact in the technological and social development of a civilization. Regardless of what it says about individuals, as a measure of the success of a nation, the amount of luxury cars it consumes indicates very little[1]; the reasoning skills and knowledge of their average citizen is a far more indicative of the capacity of a nation.

Now, you can argue that formal higher education is not the only way to instill that knowledge and skills, and also varies widely between education systems. That much is true. But the point is to get easy to measure proxies for what you are really trying to measure. Does the amount of people that go through public education predict the average level of knowledge and reasoning of that country's citizenship better or worse than looking at the amount of things they produce and sell? (not a rhetorical question, both answers can be supported, and each leads you to either HDI or GDP as a "better" measure.)

The reason BTC rallied to $1000 was that people speculated that it was undervalued, so it'd keep going up, which made them believe there was profit in it at anything below the possible future value. That speculation was largely due to it being such an unknown quantity. BTC, and cryptocurrency in general, has too many people looking at it for that to happen again, at least in the spectacular way it happened before.

The picture of the guinea pig says a lot about the intellectual heft of the article...fluffy and not addressing the scientific reality.

The main issue is that the microbiology of soil is largely under estimated by the industries selling glyphosate-based products.

That's one of the main factor that kills the soils and force the agriculture to use synthesized-fertilizer.

Which isn't how this works, philosophically speaking.

The best argument for evolution isn't a listing of how badly-designed we are, it's a simple observation that the one simple principle of natural selection through modified descent suffices to explain us. We don't need any other hypothesis. Therefore, the principle of parsimony kicks in and other, more complicated, hypotheses are ruled out. Not absolutely, but fairly strongly, at least until we find things that our current hypothesis cannot explain, which hasn't happened yet.

Yeah, incremental parsing is quite anti-functional--but tree editors don't need to parse.

Type checking I am less convinced. With syntax-directed methods one should be able to hash-n-cache each sub expression and get incremental for free. In the case of syntax directed + passing hints down the tree, just keep track of the hints too. [...let's not talk about Damas-Milner. :)]

Then, which I think Unison goes for, there is the approach where one never has untyped syntax to begin with. Not sure how annoying this is with normal programming, but should be great for theorem proving, which probably where tree editors will shine the most anyways.
Actually, most of the time, the performance-critical computations happens in the highly optimized C modules already, so there's not /that/ much to gain. That being said, the PyPy team is working on a NumPy integration (NumPyPy).

In many cases, you can use something like python-bond to call PyPy from a regular CPython program: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-bond (or just use multiprocessing).
