I've been looking for a chart library to display timeseries graphs and integrate well with react. The best one I found so far is react-d3. Unfortunately, it's still somewhat awkward.
I love the idea of the need shaping the tool. For similar reasons, I designed a 30-inch scale guitar that could handle the E and A strings from a piccolo bass, and had my luthier make it. So it's tuned like a guitar but with the low strings at bass register. Had to have two tension rods to handle the difference in tension. Works well for finger-picking.

I'm not a virtuoso, but was inspired by some others trying to get more range, especially Charlie Hunter (whose fanned frets are nuts), various metal guys, and the Chapman Stick.
Short release cycles don't solve this problem. If anything, they exacerbate it -- you can just fix any bugs in the next release, right?

On top of which, they incur heavy user cognitive costs when tools change every few weeks. Short release cycles seem to be more about making developers happy by alleviating them of a weighty responsibility, rather than making users happy by shipping something that stands on its own as a solid, well-made product that doesn't need a stream of constant updates.

I want software to behave more like reliable products that have survived the decades in the real world: they work as advertise, and they keep working. This is something PostgreSQL has achieved for many years.

Wikipedia:

>A land value tax is said to be a progressive tax, in that the tax burden would fall on landlords and cannot be passed on as higher costs or lower wages to tenants, consumers, or laborers.

The stereotype of rich landlords hoarding money is a falsehood. Every landlord I know here either makes a very modest income or loses money because of shady tenants and the incredible amount of pro-tenant legislature they take advantage of. In Chicago, an eviction takes 6-12 months.

Are you guys going to take these laws off the books then? You can't have it both ways, really. Poor urban areas have enough abandoned buildings as-is without punishing landlords further. If you make rental properties a poor value proposition then squatting takes over. We've seen this a million times. Landlords, are unfortuantely, an easy target for politicians looking to score voting points from the non-land owning rabble.

The smoothing doesn't increase the road capacity, though there is likely a small benefit to mitigating the negative effects of merging.

Saying Quasar supports Kotlin/Clojure as though Akka does not (considering both languages interop with Java) is unfair. There is a difference between bytecode manipulation making alternative JVM languages impossible vs just not having a language-idiomatic wrapper.

There a few other parts I take slight umbrage with (e.g. pretending Akka is heavyweight, has deployment rules, incomplete integration information, etc) but overall a nice informative comparison if a tad biased feeling.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Take this table for example, where your linked article got its information: http://www.cepr.net/blogs/cepr-blog/update-low-wage-worker-1...

Notice anything interesting about the age bands?

16 - 19 (4 years)

20 - 24 (4 years)

25 - 34 (10 years (!))

35 - 64 (30 years (!!!))

65+ (? years)

The 35 - 64 band is especially egregious because it includes both people at the peak of their careers and retirees (who often take throwaway jobs to stay busy or supplement early SS @ 62).

Ok, so everyone's got an agenda, no real news there. The money shot is here:

> “All of us used to think minimum wage meant a wage you could live on,” de Blasio said

Wat? Who used to think that? Roosevelt didn't think that when he introduced the FLSA, actually the major win there was the abolition of child labor in America. At some point the thought around minimum wage went from "the minimum amount you have to pay so you're not basically whipping child slaves all day" to "the wage we need to buy iPhones and 2 cars".

The actual question is, what level of lifestyle should minimum wage/basic income/whatever support? Is that level adjusted for local prices, or do you have to live in a "designated poor person area" to survive (ie, is the amount the same in SF as it is an Akron)? What about if someone blows all their BI on liquor or gambling and becomes homeless, do we give them more? Who is responsible?

I don't have the answers, and ultimately the discussion is pointless because no group of people will ever agree on this.

>> Mounting a big black box on your face is limiting and unappealing to most.

Honestly, everyone says that, until they try it with a good demo, and then they stop caring about the box. The hurdle is getting people to try it. Once they do, if they aren't the rare folks who are super-sensitive to motion sickness, they are immediately hooked.

>> We tried Second Life, Playstation Home, etc and we didn't like them.

Who exactly is "we"? Second Life is not so popular today, but it was pretty huge with some people for a very long time. The fact that it is still running at all after 12 years is surely a testament to its popularity with some people.

And I'm not going to use anything Sony makes as invalidation of any concept.
No irony: the registrar has to validate the details they have on record. If you have WHOIS privacy set with the registrar, they still have your unmasked details, in which case they contact you on that address, not the one presented in WHOIS.

This is part of the reason why you should use your registrar's WHOIS privacy service rather than some third-party one: by providing the registrar with incorrect details, you're in breach of terms of service ICANN requires registrars enforce.

Isn't the Unicode situation in OCaml more or less the same as in Erlang and Ruby 1.8, ie. "string" is just a byte string, and there's no native encoding support?

Last I checked, there was decent third-party library support in Batteries. I imagine it would be painful if you were to use Batteries' "UTF8.t" string type and had to interface with some other library that used "string" or some other string solution (like Camomile)?
This is a fantastic idea. I've done these comparisons myself and it's overwhelming and time-consuming.

I agree overall, most recruiters are not as forth coming as they should be and many times they are motivated only by the dollar. I know of two groups that I would turn to in a second if I needed a position or for assistance filling a position. And one is the recruiter that dropped that company, simply because he has been in the business for 15+ years and really proved to me that he cares about his candidates and his reputation more than just the dollar.

I'm not an evangelical snob, I can forgive transgressons obviously. But we aren't talking about a company that doesn't only attack open standards.

This isn't even really a moral argument anymore. If you buy Nvidia you can't have good faith they'll continue to develop and optimize your card the next year when new cards are out. You can't be sure that when games that push it are released you won't stutter uncontrollably, or your stay doing GPGPU work with specific hardware in mind and its not running right because they lied about specs, etc.

And again - 5% performance difference, $100 more expensive, and not the best available (that would be 980/295x2/titan x).

> Due to the excessive amounts of labor in the market especially at the low end

Why is this true? It's not a natural condition. The natural condition of a free market is an equilibrium between supply and demand. If you have excess supply, it means the market is not at equilibrium, which means either (a) it's in transition because of some recent change (not likely since the oversupply of low-end labor has been around for quite a while), or (b) the market is not free--something is skewing the supply-demand balance. The obvious candidate for that is...existing minimum wage laws.

> The minimum wage is just a needed correction for this oversupply of labor

Raising the minimum wage will not "correct" the oversupply of labor; it will make it worse. There will be more people wanting jobs, and businesses will be able to afford fewer of them.
They do this in my city too (Bogotá, Colombia). It's actually illegal here, but they do it anyway.

That's fine until they go rogue and use that to seize your domain as you've effectively established them as a contact. Then you're screwed.
Infinging because you could be proven to have seen something (even by acceident!) feels like thoughtcrime.
Some of it is definitely misleading. Saying that Akka forces you into a logging library when it can be used with log4j, logback, provides a bridge with slf4j, etc, is just being uncharitable. As is claiming that "commercial tools" are needed for monitoring when JMX can be used just as with Quasar. Same with labeling Akka's clustering support as "experimental". Akka dropped that status from the clustering module a while ago (I had it in production for over a year).

I get that it's marketing material so it's going to be biased but I can't help but feel that one too many liberties were taken in making Quasar look good.
I would say d3.js (http://d3js.org/).
>> The larger question, of course, should be answered by the customers of McDonalds or Target. Are they willing to pay twice the cost of goods so everyone who works there can make more money?

In most cases the cost of labor is not a large percentage of the purchase price. When the cost of labor is doubled, passing this on to the consumer will not double the price. In many cases it won't even be close.
> You wouldn't catch many 20 and 30 years old dead in something like Comic-Con 30 years ago.

BayCon has been around for 30 years. Before that, the niche interests just change -- my dad and his friends have been dressing up in 20s garb and driving 20s cars to period events since the 60s. There are Civil War re-enactments and sex clubs and costume parties and all sorts of things.

And anyway, making those things into an indictment of society at large is silly, especially when there are so many trivially easy indictments of society (like the way everyone always thinks this generation is worse than the ones before it).

> Something like "The Searchers" is an order of magnitude more poignant and challenging than Iron Man or Avengers.

Are you being disingenuous, or did you not realize you're cherry-picking here? Spaghetti Westerns and shoot-em-ups and grindhouse films and silent comedies have all occupied a place as entertainment alongside more serious films, and "serious" films, if that's what you're into, are still alive and well.

Try comparing Laurel and Hardy's "A Perfect Day" to The Avengers while comparing The Searchers to, I dunno, Gran Torino or Million Dollar Baby or Interstellar or whatever your poison.

> Just that those kind of movies (and even more naive "action" movies) are prevalent today with the 20-40 demographic, something which wasn't the case in decades past.

And my point is that he's wrong, and history proves it.

This is just a classic rose-colored glasses problem, that's all. People are imagining history as they prefer to imagine it, not as it was.

This page has a picture of the nonexistent 20-40 year olds turning out to see Stan Laurel in 1947: http://www.nwemail.co.uk/memories/stan-at-queen-s-first-roya...

"When one goes, as I did recently, to a city like Chicago and finds on the South Side, a district equivalent to New York’s Harlem, a two-million-dollar building of a magnificence housing nothing but photoplays, and sees over four thousand people packed in, watching and listening and obviously amused and thrilled, he asks what all this means, and admits, unless he is a Dumbkopf, the coming in of a new order. Particularly is he amazed and bewildered when, in the same city, he witnesses a brilliant spoken farce-comedy, deftly played by distinguished actors, given before half-empty benches – yet in the very heart of the town. What is one to say in the light of such over-whelming evidence? Simply that something has entered the world, suddenly, which grips the people, appeals to them, rivets their attention, and drives them out of the old established theatres."

That was written in 1921.

At the expense of what? If you raise wages but don't increase productivity, you're just robbing one sector of society to pay another. And nobody has mentioned any change accompanying this that would increase productivity.

What about groceries? Farm worker salaries? Now you have to absorb those new costs. Food, in general, will skyrocket.

There's this narrative that the left is playing up of "It'll be great, we'll kick out McDonalds!" Any industry that has low wage workers will suffer. Think the lines to return something in a retail store are long now? Wait until they have half the staff.

More than likely privatization services will move in the same way MSP's have taken over the role of well paid IT people in smaller organizations today. Mega-grocery co will eliminate ma and pa groceries because they will only be the ones with the scale of industry to have competitive prices. Boutiqe restaurants will be replaced with franchises for the same reasons. Mail/internet ordering from other jurisdictions with lower wage prices will hurt local retail.

This is neither good or bad, imo, but I don't think the people on the left are really considering what happens when you radically change wages by fiat. You get the Walmart-ization of all things because only organizations like Walmart can compete on price.

"The Timetables of History: a Horizontal Linkage of Peoples and Events" by Bernard Grun is the closest thing to what you're looking for. My dad had a copy and I loved flipping through it when I was a kid. Professional historians are unlikely to produce much else in this vein in the future though, because it leads to so many distortions of the evidence (i.e. something as complex as 100 years of history in an entire continent is pretty much impossible to summarize in one or two sentences). As for online timetables for students, I was surprised not to find much, besides this:

All the landlords I know are really whiny that they have to actually maintain their properties and provide services to their customers. They seemed to assume they could just get free money for owning a building. I've suggested they sell their multimillion dollar asset and retire or go get a job, but they don't seem to want to do that.

At any rate, the point of the land-value tax is that it would encourage land owners to build larger and better improvements on their property, instead of just holding the land and waiting for its price to increase. Think building a high-rise apartment building instead of leaving it as a parking lot.
Goods will become more expensive if the minimum wage goes up to $15, so yes that laborer is being "brought down".

Germany makes its money on manufactured-goods exports, though, so an artificially cheap currency helps them.
That's my underlying point. Everyone complains that the minimum wage is going to drive more work to automation. Good. That's exactly what it should do. Those efficiency gains fund a basic income.

I can envision a future where we have two tiers of income. One for basic necessities everyone gets, and another "luxury" tier, for services and goods not necessary to survive.
