Brainfuck etc, don't guarantee infinite storage. Therefore, they cannot compute everything computable. Hence, they are are limited to only computing some things but not others. Hence they are not Turing Complete.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with lowering the bar and calling them "Turing Complete" as a practical matter. I'm against then turning around and raising the bar and pretending Turing Completeness is implantable when it comes to defining "programming languages."

"Programming language" is an engineering term not a mathematical one.
Congrats on the popularity of Phoenix. The documentation is quite excellent!

I'd be interested in your perspective on the current state of the elixir web framework scene and where you think it's going.

Specifically, how would you compare Phoenix and N2O?

Would you say the perception is correct that Phoenix is going very much into the direction of Ruby on Rails? (Generators, you and Jose are rails contributors, etc.)

I'm torn. On one hand Phoenix has the momentum, but on the other, I feel like it's making a lot of assumptions that don't hold in my situation. (EG: I'm doing routing at runtime because the routes change, I don't store anything on the local drive, so no static data there, I'm doing an unusual way of composition to produce what's sent to the browser. I haven't run into any blockers to using phoenix just feel like I'm fighting it sometimes.)

Yeah, sorry, vague question. :-)
More people rot in American jails than any other country.

America admits to torture and does nothing.

America has a kill list that only the executive presides over and keeps secret.

We've killed hundreds of thousands of civilians over the last decade and displaced millions.

And yet here is a presumptuous America ready to claim moral superiority over Russians and Chinese. A horrific display of Orwellian doublethink.
In all seriousness, my theory is that the more you want to solo in EVE, the more it turns into Spaceships and Spreadsheets.
I use to work at a large firm where everyone had large lists of contacts, old clients, leads, etc. It was always a dream to have a system where all of this data could be entered, and then the system tells us where commonalities are. For example:

You're at a conference and you meet someone, getting their business card. Come back to the office and enter that information into the CRM. If you've added that person on LinkedIn, the software will scrape this data, and compare it against all other data sets in the system. In this example let's say this particular contact once worked at a company that is also a former client. The system should alert and say hey, so-and-so has x connections with other records.

This is probably more data that you wanted, but the larger problem was silos. We were constantly pushing employees to "compare notes" because we never knew when two or more employees might uncover information/contacts/etc. that if linked, could help us leverage that data.

Truck driving is one of the few remaining jobs in most states where the local economy has failed its population.

It was the most common occupancy in 29 states in 2014.
http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2015/02/05/382664837/map-the-...

Who is the us "efficiency" has helped? At the end of the day, do I benefit from the fact that Company X's truck no longer needs a driver?

Does that benefit really outweigh ruining the livelihoods of millions of people, whose family now can't pay taxes and lost their ability to see doctors or to maintain a roof over their heads?

When do we get to reap the benefits of this automation?

There is a lot of money being made by letting people go and letting the tax payer pay for the societal damage.

Will those millions of drivers be transferred to a new department within the company? Will they get a severance check from the profits of this automation? Or will unemployment and lack of medical care shave 20+ years off their lives so a shipping company can save a dime that society gets to pay for?
Costco offers a similar negotiation service. The prices are good, but it is limited to fairly popular models and specific dealers. It seems like a good tradeoff if you find the usual negotiation painful.
Of course you can avoid paying tax at least once: on the day of your 18th birthday, weigh the options about leaving, leave, and renounce your citizenship.

Or, don't work until you decide to leave, and then leave.

That it requires very quick timing or unusual planning to end your obligation does not mean that you don't need to pay it when you are obliged to.

> And at the same time, the fact that a good, adaptive team that figures out what works for them is what you and the original group deem to be "agile" simply reinforces that the whole thing is ridiculous to me. Why did we need a name and a manifesto for that?

Because while there are lots of people who won't understand that with an explanation, and some people who get it intuitively and don't need an explanation even with all the noise from people selling one true way, there's also lots of people in the middle who benefit from people selling there one-size fits all approaches not being the only voice in the marketplace of ideas.

> The end reality is we have an entire industry built around that stupid manifesto

No, we have an industry that existed long before the manifesto built around selling canned, context-blind process and jumping on anything even mildly popular to sell it that, predictably, when the manifesto calling for exactly the opposite of what that industry sold became popular, jumped on that to sell exactly the same thing they'd always been selling.

> We would have been better off without it.

No, I think that there are lots of people who have learned something from the Agile Manifesto, writings actually addressing how to implement its principles that don't amount to context-blind process, and related movements (Lean software development, etc.) and applied the ideas to improve teams and make software in a better way.

Most developers -- before and after the manifesto -- work in places where management is operated with shallow knowledge and poor respect for their staff and buying whatever consultants are selling in terms of process, sure, but that's not the fault of the Agile Manifesto

The part where he shows the super simple blending of the monster's 'legs' with the sphere (page 42), opened up in my mind a lot of possibilities for procedural model generation I hadn't considered before. Eventually I understood why it was possible/powerful (via a certain generalization called 'FRep': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_representation). Very different from the sort of 'polygon stitching' I thought was necessary (e.g. when I tried this: https://github.com/westoncb/3D-Mushroom-Generator)

The fact that you can do such cool things in real-time with raymarching (as the Shadertoy website is largely a showcase of) is pretty awesome. I have tried building raymarched games on iOS and Android—but I've only gotten to the point of setting up basic scenes and estimating it's still not quite possible to do a full game this way, yet (on mobile anyway). Maybe something very simple at 30fps on a nice device.
Businesses (large ones anyway) tend to buy Windows Enterprise which only available through volume licensing. Technically the free upgrade is not available for Win7 or Win8 Enterprise (fine print on this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/about).

In my experience I see smaller businesses just purchasing hardware with OEM licenses (usually Pro).

Used Airbnb recently for a trip to LA for a friend's wedding. Myself and a few friends were able to rent a house in the hills which was way nicer, less expensive, and significantly easier than organizing a block of hotel rooms. Aside from moments where some would have to wait due to both showers being used, the trip was much more enjoyable.

While I agree that some rules need to be adjusted for Airbnb type of rentals, I really can't think of a reason why anyone would want to straight up ban it.

> The rules legalize “home-sharing” – in which the occupant rents a couch, spare bedroom or backyard unit – but require hosts to obtain a business license and pay Santa Monica’s 14% hotel tax.

Is this going to be the new loophole?

Part of it is the inherently risk averse/conservative orientation of the legal field (much of it arguably justified in the sense that in a field where extreme precision of language is a minimum, and strict auditing common, the "fast and loose" approach of agile-centric startup culture runs contra to a lot of legal instincts. Another commenter laid it out well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9528423 "Startups practicing law (rather than providing law-related services other than legal practice) are difficult given restrictions on the practice of law, including legal ethics rules (e.g., things like ABA Model Rule 5.4(d) [0].)

Also, while in other industries if you break the rules of the industry the corporation pays a fine (which is part of the risk of a startup) and the principals all move on with their lives and livelihoods.

Lawyers who break the rules of their industry can be disbarred. While this doesn't completely stop all move-fast-and-break-things in the field, it does limit the willingness of people in the field to engage in it."

That said, I think there are areas where some innovation could occur, particularly around e-discovery and in lexical search/dbs.
Yep, client certs installed on a device with verified boot and an account authenticated via 2FA would be a good start.

I am developer and I understand why bubble.js in its current state cant be used for production apps. But if we think about making apps for fun like a flashy presentation / wedding website / temporary event website / startup landing page, it sounds like a real use case.

I don't wanna sit and code for a website that's will up for only a couple of days. I would rather use bubble.js. Hell yeah, this framework was able to build a twitter clone too :P

I also looked at the app editor and its quite good for web dev beginner purposes(database, click events and stuff). It does follow MVC design pattern.

> You continue to assume rather arrogantly that OWS has not had an impact that has or will ultimately improve lives. Not all impact is immediately tangible. Adding qualifications such as "practical" is begging the question.

No. I assert that looking at results delivered to date, the Gates Foundation has delivered more than OWS has. If history and logic cannot be used as meaningful predictors, then this whole discussion is pointless.

> Please, can you consider the mere possibility that your assumptions are wrong, and the truth that your arguments are logically fallacious, relying on straw men, circular reasoning and begging the question. You have failed to answer any of my specific critiques of your claims, and present opinion as incontrovertible fact.

I have. In fact, I lived as you urge. You dismiss this, as it did not produce the results you anticipate, so therefore I clearly did it wrong.

A clear pattern has emerged. I have seen this sort of reasoning before. I wish you good luck with your new religious avocation. Good day.

Your point regarding species extinction is a good one. However, in languages, "extinct language" has a more specific meaning. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinct_language .

I believe that language extinction occurs when it's possible to point to the last living speaker of the language, or more generally, when there is no modern version of a language.

But you are right that the person who asked the question is more likely to think of the more transitional, biological meaning.

Pain relief is tricky. TENS machines have conflicting data.

For long term lower back pain: http://www.cochrane.org/CD003008/BACK_transcutaneous-electri...

> Four high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs; 585 patients) comparing TENS with placebo for chronic low-back pain were included in this study. Due to conflicting evidence, it is unclear if TENS is beneficial in reducing back pain intensity. However, there was consistent evidence in two trials (410 patients) that TENS did not improve the level of disability due to back pain. There was moderate evidence that use of medical services and work status (e.g. loss of work, sick days) did not change during treatment. Finally, there did not seem to be a difference between conventional and acupuncture-like TENS.

For long term lower back pain people are probably better of (after ruling out the rare but scary causes; and with medical supervision) if they lose weight and get exercise, especially physiotherapist guided exercise to strengthen back muscles; and combining this with better ergonomics at work.

For cancer pain: http://www.cochrane.org/CD006276/SYMPT_transcutaneous-electr...

More research is needed.

I've been at one place where agile/scrum worked. None of us were superstar 10x developers. What made it work was that we had a lot of trust between the developers and management. And that we knew the code-base well enough to be able to give accurate estimates (low turnover is good that way).
Once again.

> Because the classical model failed agile can't fail too?

> so the solution as you see it is just to have developers that work well together. Easy peasie solution.

No one said it's easy. No one said you can just have it. No one claims it's the solution to how we build software.

> usually with people betraying a complete lack of understanding of it, as an aside, such as seen with most uses of the term "scrum" throughout these discussions

Many, many things exist in the world that don't exist in the constitution; it's a foundational body of law, not the entirety of the law.

As for not wanting something, but still being obligated to pay for it, there many transactions in the world where you have to pay for more than you want; no automaker will sell you a brand-new car with all of the seats missing, and very often when you go to a restaurant, even if you ask for some ingredient to be left out, you still pay full price for the meal.

That some of your taxes go to things you don't like does not mean you are free from paying for them.

The route to changing what your taxes go to is the political arena, not merely claiming that, because you don't like it, they're "theft".

Over time, the number of people looking for a pied-à-terre is not fixed. This is true. This is also true for every other possible category of people.

Thankfully, this not-fixed number is also not infinite. Just as the housing market also does not need to operate over a fixed quantity of housing. Building more increases that not-fixed quantity so that the not-fixed quantity of demand might be met.

When you have an economic boom, you need to grow your infrastructure to match. Not sit around bemoaning that that might enable future growth that will, to a great degree, happen even if you don't grow infrastructure.

Look no further than the current housing crisis - accurately predicted in 2000 - to see the results of the notion that growing infrastructure is bad because it encourages use of infrastructure.
