>> I don't think more resources or less fragmentation would change anything regarding the situation above

Well, as far as I can tell, lots of Linux people are hipstery special little snowflakes and fork things because some small thing isn't exactly as they want it, and that's where most of the fragmentation comes from.

Assuming that's largely accurate, why would it not be a problem?

What if we had, say, three major Linux distros instead of dozens of half-assed ones? How many tinkerer-distros does the world need? -As many as it takes to prevent Linux from ever conquering the desktop, it seems.

But seriously.. Please stop.
Im running Windows on MacBook for 4+ years. I have Bootcamp installed, and I switch between OS X and Windows 8.

I use Windows for .Net development only. When it comes to programming Ruby, or just to surfing the web, I prefer Mac OS X. The UI/UX for Windows really sucks comparing to OS X. No gestures support, you'll need to use mouse instead of TrackPad.

You can tune your Windows (use third-party tools like trackpad++, write some autohotkey scripts), but you won't get this feeling that you're at home.

(FYI: I'm ~4 year Mac user and I've been using Windows/Linux since 1994).
Huge policy and economic backend difference, definitely. But for propaganda/marketing purposes, to the common man these are the same program. It's the government giving you free money and that's all that should ever be in the talking points.
For purely rational analysis of something like say the prisoners dilemma, you only need to use overanalysis or metaanalysis or super rationality where normal analysis fails, which is typically when the problem created a paradox or an inconsistency.

But for stuff like life choices or muddier problems, feeling is often the best option because all types of analysis will fail with insufficient data.

"The valuation is all about market conditions and how many offers you get and has nothing to do with ‘valuing the company.’"

Valuation is very important to the founders, because if it sells a few years down the road for less than the valuation, chances are they will get nothing out of the deal because the investors/VC need to get paid back first.

It kinda makes me wonder if both sides don't care about this..they just want to get their payout and it's treated like playing roulette at the casino.

If I ever get funding, it will be when I have customers and a real valuation. This way, I actually have a real chance at earning a payout instead of essentially becoming an employee of my own company.

Maintaining the working environment of all those bureaucrats.

Buying them new equipment as the old stuff breaks or becomes obsolete.

And it may not show up directly on a balance sheet, but: how many bureaucrats love their job? How much depression and misery do you remove by replacing "go sit in a dimly lit crowded office all day for enough money to pay for your basic needs" with "hey here is enough money to pay your basic needs, go do whatever"?
Maybe if you will read my comments more closely you will see the difference between moving parts of HTML inside component and moving components. "Moving things around" is too broad term.
There is a reason for that and it is because it makes for simpler code. Simpler code is easier to test and simple tested code should have less bugs. Also you get the advantage of reusability from all of the small components you build. If you don't want to follow the recommended programming practices, you don't have to but I would like to encurrage you to adopt them because they really are helpful.
tl;dr: a lib which lets you define complex graphs of dependencies easily and it will execute them in correct order.

All that with just Sidekiq :)
Isn't Yankees a slur? I don't remember ever arguing for using slurs.

I thought JSX was just a cosmetic overlay to regular JavaScript functions. I'm not a react expert but I'm pretty sure `return <div>whatever</div>` just returns an object with a property of div and value of whatever. Exactly the same as writing `return React.DOM.div(null, whatever)` or whatever the vanilla version is.
It doesn't mean you are but you most probably are.

Furthermore I would claim that very rarely is it the case that you just don't have enough information if you have analyzing something. So in theory you are right but in reality it's never really the case.

Go does have immutable data structures... They are called strings :-) It's not like Lisp or Scala, of course. Simply convert your slice to a string and you are set.

The slice behavior can be a bit surprising to new Go devs if they just jump in trying to write code. It's pretty common because Go looks simple and very familiar.

You can find more traps for new Go devs in this post: http://devs.cloudimmunity.com/gotchas-and-common-mistakes-in...
I do not have experience with Julia. I'm interested in languages built for time series data specifically. APL derivatives shine in this regard, in the sense that they provide the bare metal language composed of a few very powerful verbs and adverbs. For example, I could whip up a simple linear regression package in about 10 lines of tight code. These languages also lend themselves to parallelism in a very straightforward manner by means of the "parallel apply" verb. In addition , the brevity that languages like q offer is simply unparalleled.
Ember might be well organized and a great framework but I'm not sure I agree with "easy to grasp". There is so much automagic that when something tries to deviate from the common Ember patterns I worry that you are going to have a bad time. I say that having hardly used Ember outside of the intro tutorials so please someone correct me if I am wrong.
Oh my goodness, people are misinterpreting my comment, I am so sorry.

Probably would have been a better idea. Only later in the Anime does he actually need to do things quickly, all the rest really could have waited weeks or even months. That said it wouldn't have made for very interesting watching if he managed to have that much forward thinking all the time.
Hm.. I didn't say a word about separation of technologies. If you have one non-broken piece of HTML and related piece of JS to make it "live" - it's one thing. If you use JS/php/python/ruby/lua/whatever to generate HTML, composing it by small pieces into one (inside one component) - it's another thing and it's exactly what I'm talking about.
More to the point, I find the parallax stuff, especially where it’s flowing in the opposite direction to scrolling, disconcerting. CPU thrashing is bad, but watching scrolling being uncomfortable is far worse.
Yeah, there have been a couple comments in this thread with this kind of viewpoint; "How will I go on in life after all the opportunity cost of not getting into [insert high prestige school]".

I feel so sad for anyone that has such a futile outlook in life. Life is literally what you make it, not what some gatekeepers make of it for you.
Sorry, my comment was poorly worded—I mean that I am experiencing schadenfreude, not criticizing people who are also experiencing it.

Anecdotes are not data, but here is my anecdote about Not Having To Work.

A few years ago, I came into enough money that I don't have to work for several years. I have not been spending this time just lying on the beach; instead, I've been spending this time doing a thing I dearly want to do, which doesn't bring in much money. I leverage the skills I gained in the time I spent hanging around the animation industry to draw weird comics.

I have been able to turn this into something that mostly pays my rent over the past four years. I could not have done this if I had to spend the bulk of my time working for someone else.

Sure, some people will sit around and play video games all day. But I think you may be underestimating the number of people who have a thing they'd be spending a lot of time working on if not for that pesky day job. Even the most burnt-out and broken-seeming homeless folks.
That's interesting; I didn't know that. I should like to read that document in its entirety.

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. kx provides shared libraries to make R and q talk to each other. The specific approach I followed used a shared library that brings R into the kdb+ memory space, meaning all the R statistical routines and graphing capabilities can be invoked directly from kdb+. Using this method means data is not passed between remote processes.
I was able to handle one yesterday, and yes, it seems so.
Look, someone else claiming that a routine is the Sieve or Eratosthenes when in fact it isn't:

California is BIG.

California also has this one industry, it's kind of retro, you might not have heard of it. It's mostly based in Los Angeles and they make these things called "movies" and "television".
Oh look, one of my pet hates. Displaying a sieve that claims to be the Sieve of Eratosthenes, and yet it does modulo tests, and hence isn't.

Edit: It was by chance that it happened to be the example in the "A taste of Ela" box at the top. Reloading the page makes the example change to something else, so if you are wondering what I'm talking about, reload the page until the "taste" box explicitly calls something the Sieve of Eratosthenes. It isn't.
I agree with all but your last point, or at least think there needs to be an exception. If you want extra time to do other things then having a low pressure job is nice, even if you get paid less.

I've definitely met my fair share of people who would gladly take a 50% pay cut if they could only work 50% of the time they do. Feel free to replace 50% with 80% or whatever.

For me, it isn't about the optimization, it is about the way it lets you break your app into simple reliable components. There was a moment when building my first React application where it just clicked and I realized how much I was enjoying the reusability and ease of testing all of my components. I have never been able to write such well tested front end code. Also, the reusability of my code has skyrocketed.

Read Charles Murray on this (e.g. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/libertarian-charles...). He's a libertarian, specifically concerned about "social decay", and argues that a basic income would be a large improvement over what we have today.

Basic income sounds dangerously close to "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need".

Not at all. A basic income gives you enough to live on, but if you want more than that you're going to have to produce something of value.

There are certainly alpha leadership types, and some of them are obnoxious, but I don't buy the whole pop psychology rationalization of their supposed ability to halt critical thinking in otherwise rational people. That just reads as a dudebro power fantasy to me.

On the Windows side, there was a lot of tense discussion between Intel and Microsoft regarding Intel's popular integrated-graphics chipset being shipped at the time of Vista's release. The chipset didn't have hardware DirectX support and shouldn't have been certified, but Intel had promised their customers (like HP) the chipsets were fine and they were not anywhere near the end of the product lifecycles for either the chipset or the PCs. So Microsoft fudged the rules and a bunch of consumer-grade hardware ran like crap on Vista.

I've been working on this project for about a year and a half now. I felt that between all the gambling sites popping like mushrooms and the next level smart-contract-side-chain projects there were no bitcoin based fun games one can play today. So I created this experiment.

The game is curiously using the uncertainty inherent in the blockchain (block solving/transaction inclusion) as key element in the game dynamics. Plus it's pretty open ended and strategy based, so has a real game-theoretic appear. Also it's a good way to expose people to the inner working of the blockchain, which is always good.

I am not doing this for profit, just wanted to rock the boat and see what happens.
It's difficult to conclude that from those statistics alone, as we don't know the distribution of MCAT and GPA scores within the self-identified Asian applicants - a higher mean may be because it is positively skewed. In that regard, it would be interesting to see the median values too. Or the stats for the rejected cohort.
This is irrelevant. I'm asking why "tax deductible" is touted as a benefit of charity, when costs are already tax deductible.
Technological change obsoleting jobs is not new and has been going on for hundreds of years: bookbinders, scribes, lamplighters, milkmen, town crier, etc.

As each profession sunsets, these individuals find new ways to contribute to society. Change isn't easy, but these are "people" not "truck drivers" and will adapt.

Basic income is a separate discussion from technological change, unless there is a clear argument why technological progress now is fundamentally different than it always has been.

Note that it uses examples from the APU (audio circuitry) and PPU (graphics processor) in the NES. This is probably a good thing, as those circuits are much less dense and so easier to read directly compared to the 6502 circuitry. The particular examples aren't hugely important, and the principles are exactly the same.

Skimming it might give a glimpse of what's going on inside old chips (and newer ones too to some degree, though CMOS is more complicated than NMOS), which I thought some people might find interesting. :)

I feel sad for them too, but it doesn't mean because I have never felt that way that it doesn't happen. The post I replied to was overly optimistic. Some might strive on and pick somewhere else. Some, like failed olympic athletes, might go down a darker road.

Sadly, a stint working with social services has taught me some folks, who are normal about everything else, have one event that they have strived for that will break them if they miss it. Its actually easier if it was your doing, but not when its your ancestry or other factor you had no control over.
This article identifies a possible truism but offers no advice or even contemplates what to do about it.
Don't sweat the down votes. You're describing real things.

A lot of people are still in denial about the fact that our industry has become populated in recent years by the sorts of high-powered uber-alpha sociopaths that dominate finance.

Only 20 years ago -- maybe less -- computing still had a "hobbyist and hacker" feel. People were making money, sure, but it wasn't a place where people go to become instant millionaires or billionaires. Finance and high corporate MBA stuff was where you went to do that.

Now that's changed. An app can make a fortune, quite literally. So now our industry is attracting an increasing number of "wolf of Wall St." types.

Nerds and old school hackers just don't know how to deal with this personality type, and many deny its existence outright. It's tough to even describe to someone who hasn't encountered it in its natural habitat. I also think people deny its existence because they want to believe in a rational, meritocratic world, not an irrational emotionally-driven shitshow like the real world we actually live in.

It's really nasty because our industry is not hardened against this stuff. In a way, those folks are less destructive in finance because the financial scene expects, understands, and knows how to deal with them. Your typical mildly Aspergers-ey nerd is fresh meat, and our industry's institutions aren't "psychopath-hardened" either.

I've been in a good number of VC pitches and have met many. They are not all bad people by any means, nor do they tend to be dumb. A few of them are "wolf of Wall St." types, but the negative dynamic I see more often is someone who wants to be this type but really isn't. This leads to what you humorously call "chicken hawking," and also to cases where VC types can themselves be taken for a ride by these predators. When you encounter a true high-powered psychopath, it's really dangerous not to treat them like a rabid mountain lion. Any affinity you might have, or naivete, or desire to live vicariously in some way through them is something they can "use."

I actually don't blame people too terribly much for sort of wanting to be one of these predators... our culture glorifies it. How many movies do we have about the happy go lucky cop who blows people away and makes jokes, or the glamorous con man who pulls off the big heist, or the endearing mobster? In reality these sorts of people would all be monsters. There's no glamour, no romance, just ugliness and destruction.

Poverty is not considered to be a unsolved problem in academic economics. An NIT has wide support as a way to both directly eliminate poverty while taking away the need for distortionary measures such as minimum wage and the administrative costs they entail.

Slippery slopes to totalitarianism aside, you're afraid of terrible social decay? The social decay I'm worried about is people falling into crime or prostitution out of desperation, or people's lives becoming unbearable to the point where drugs seem like a necessity. Enabling laziness to any degree is less deleterious to society than requiring single parents to work multiple minimum wage jobs to support their families.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is merely a natural consequence of diminishing marginal utility and subsequently underpins a lot of welfare economics. It doesn't necessitate any trappings of communism and to make that causal leap is beyond disingenuous.
Don't think costs will go down, but the commenter probably thinks that as middle class jobs get automated away, more and more people begin to rely on BI, thereby taking the median income down and reducing the overall spending.
The whole point is that technological advances also change the social framework and we need to have a constructive plan for how to maintain a society in the face of that.

Politics that tell us that poor people are naturally lazy, immoral children who can't run their lives may not be the most productive framework in the years to come.
This is also a warning against genius worship. Sometimes it really does seem like someone has pulled something from thin air (esp in mathematics. You may recall on more than one occasion learning something that seemed unsolvable until it was obvious), but most often those people have placed themselves -through hard work- in a position where they are most likely to make a given discovery.

Or you could call it something like "Free Money Forever", because that's what its proponents seem to think they'd be getting, as if the money didn't have to come from somewhere.

How many people have any clue as to where tax revenues come from?

How many understand that other people have to earn that money first?

How many understand that if the people who earn money are burdened with much higher taxes to pay for someone else's BI, a lot of them them will just stop working because fuck that? How would that affect the burden on the remaining earners?

Please just think about it for a while.
Wouldn't you have to apply to become a citizen tor receive basic income though? And wouldn't this encourage illegal immigrants to try and become citizens, which I think would be a good thing.
