It seems that I was not direct enough.

Several people I know and respect are or were nudists/naturists, including one who lives in a clothing optional community. I live in Sweden and have been socially naked in the company sauna with co-workers, in private saunas with friends, in public saunas, and skinny dipping with friends in summer. I have also been in the conference sauna for PyCon Finland, with about 50 other attendees. While I do not practice it, I support the German Freikörperkultur.

The article implicitly discriminates against those who practice or support clothing optional practices. Eg, "So what is my strategy now that I know I am not wearing any clothes? To start wearing clothes of course!" - why not stay naked?

Therefore, you should read my previous comment as a complaint. I see no reason to contribute positive comments to something whose basic analogy is one I disagree with.
After reading wiki further (which has quite an extensive description), it looks it is somewhat possible:

Injections of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, which effectively increases available acetylcholine, have been found to induce paradoxical (REM) sleep in humans and other animals already in slow-wave sleep. Carbachol, which mimics the effect of acetylcholine on neurons, has a similar influence. In waking humans, the same injections produce paradoxical sleep only if the monamine neurotransmitters have already been depleted.

Based on the last sentence (and provided the Carbachol mechanism of action is the same), it looks like you can't enter REM sleep if you aren't 'tired' enough.
The heating efficiency has to be 100%, because the electricity isn't being converted into any other energy form.

(That's still worse than an electric heat pump though, though - those have > 100% heating efficiency in terms of electricity input).
That's the popular legend. But in reality one guy was a professor at UCLA and the other a well paid engineer at TRW. To get started with early development of much of their IP they used considerable resources available to them at their employers, which included funding from government IR&D projects and chip design engineers who were on TRW's payroll.

So hardly a garage startup.
You're conflating the October 1929 stock market crash with the Great Depression. They happened around the same time and they're related but they're not the same thing. The 1987 and 2001 stock market crashes didn't cause decade-long depressions, and the 1987 crash was a larger drop than 1929.

One-day crashes make headlines but aren't that damaging to the underlying economy unless it's already very brittle.
As a manager, I want people to be happy with their compensation. But an inquiry is not an offer, and furthermore it's for a job you're not interested in. To get leverage, as byoung2 writes, you need an offer from a job you'd actually take (your BATNA). Or you need to be able to quantify your value to the company. That is a skill that pays off.

I recommend patio11's negotiation guide: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/

Also, the book Getting To Yes, which will be at your local library. It's all about win/win negotiation.

Finally, don't forget to do a holistic compensation comparison, unless you're a non-benefited contractor. People frequently forget that average hours per week, one of the biggest differentiators, will not be in your offer letter (unless it talks of paid overtime).

The advantage of making the distinction is you can discuss the subtly different semantics which often arise in the area of parallel, concurrent and distributed computing. If you equate them, you can only discuss with limited level of detail, which makes it harder to understand the subtle differences coming from different computational models.

For instance, the subtle difference arising from MIMD execution and SIMD execution. The former allows for concurrent execution, whereas the latter does not. However, both are parallel execution models. This isn't theoretical either as GPUs are strictly SIMD machines in their execution.

Interesting, can you share much about the other work on the same machine? In particular I'm curious if there are many other services running no those machines. I've written some services in Go (thanks!) but actually left GOMAXPROCS at 1 because there were other components running as separate processes on the same hosts.

Actually quantum mechanics can be formalized and derived entirely from a few simple and reasonable axioms (that allow for negative probabilities), but yes historically quantum mechanics has been developed through empirical experiments. After all physics is (empirical) science unlike mathematics.

What I meant to convey was that all elements of the theory like quantum wave function, elementary particles (bosons, fermions etc), are elements of that physical model and hence real in that model by definition. It kind of makes no sense to talk about model independent reality, as quantum mechanics so nicely demonstrates.

This is why your statement that bosons are not physical is nonsensical.

In any case most real scientists are entirely open to new evidence of what you would call non-physical things (historically these were usually spirits, souls, demons, gods etc), but historically no convincing evidence has ever been provided for these. On the contrary each time mysterious phenomena turned out to be completely physical and explainable within normal physical framework, and in other cases clearly dreamed up.

It really isn't correct to say materialism or science is doctrinal. After it is not required to believe everything has to be material or explainable within our current framework (it would be akin to saying we already know everything).

However, opposite of materialism is dogmatically imposed in a lot of religions. It is a tenet of Catholic Church for example that materialism can not be true since souls and spirits must exist. This is not open for debate you must accept this to be a catholic. Just so we understand distinction between dogmatism and experience that everything we ever encountered so far has turned out to be physical. I will take evidence over dogma any day.
Don't forget the race detector! It has also gotten easier to detect subtle concurrency errors which in turn means less deterministic execution is easier to handle.

They note the mobile chips - but those are sold cheap.

More importantly is the fact that Broadcom's switch chips have pretty much become the de-facto chipsets used in data center switches from most vendors. They are quickly becoming the Intel of DC switches. And these chips, are not so cheap (though true, there are fewer of them, but the margins are much more attractive).
Is this a correction? A clarification? Was it insensitive to describe those places as "cold"?

> because far more efficient electrical heaters

How are you defining efficiency here?

Efficiency is usually defined as (useful power out)/(power in), and basically all the power that goes into a computer comes out again as heat, which in this case is considered useful. Not really convinced you could buy a heater that was measurably more efficient.

ETA: heat pump would do it, didn't spring to mind when I read heater though!
Question #1:

Do you like your current job? If it's a nice environment, you might regret finding another job where you get paid 30% more but it's a lot more unpleasant.

Even if you interview and get a good vibe, bad things can happen. Your boss can quit or be fired 3 months after you start (happened to me). Your actual boss might not be who you thought it was when you were interviewing (also happened to me). But the same bad things could also happen in your current job.

Assuming the answer to #1 is "meh" or "sort of" or "I want to leave":

Question #2: Are you able to interview and get an offer for more somewhere else?

If you can't get more somewhere else, then you aren't underpaid.

If you can get more somewhere else, and you think it's time to move on, then go.

Also, don't compare TN salaries to California or NY or Boston salaries. As other people said, you need to adjust for cost of living.

Also, if you do get an offer you want to take, go, don't take a counter-offer. If your employer wants to pay you more, then they should do it now.
But that's my point: it's not really about triangles; that's just a rather mundane application. Trig is really about complex exponentials that solve f'' + f = 0.

Note that I was not talking about the actual implementation or the indeed perfectly open discussion in the docs but rather the way the language was sold, most of which happened outside of Google. Even though e.g. Pike was very open about this, there was a lot of excitement of the magic scaling pixie dust variety around HN, Twitter, meetups, etc.

Almost every person I know who started with Go got a long way in before doing some benchmarks and realizing that they were only using one thread. I know the scheduler had issues but I think setting the default to 2 would have avoided people going so far before learning that the language can't handle everything they need to care about.

Isn't 'Google Design' a bit of an oxymoron to begin with?

I mean isn't their entire hiring process designed to weed out people whose strength is design, to the point where now when they need to compete on design they go out and spend $20 million to acquihire a team ala Sparrow or get a big name like Duarte.

People laughed at Marissa choosing fonts at Yahoo but forget that she was the only person holding down the design fort at Google and was undervalued and passed over.

I'm always amazed at how much people can say about pretty much nothing.
This is an amazing way to improve your knowledge of a foreign language. When I started reading French novels, I could mostly understand maybe 60% and guess another 30%. But after 10,000 pages, I was only running into unknown words every few pages, and my understanding of idioms was vastly better.

The same thing works for listening comprehension: Find a DVD box set of easy TV series, one where you can understand maybe 40% of the dialog, and just start watching. It's OK to use a good dub of a series you've already watched. Repeat this with, say, 5 series and you'll see an amazing boost in listening comprehension. TV series are usually better than films for this exercise, because they'll give you 50+ hours of mostly the same people speaking about a limited set of topics, which helps a lot in the beginning.

It seems like the brain is very good at upgrading partial comprehension to nearly complete comprehension. But the trick is getting to an enjoyable level of partial comprehension.
Looking at the M preview release, I see that Settings > Apps has expanded the "Open by default" section for each app.

Now there's a toggle, "Open supported links without asking", with a list of domain names that the app supports.

So you can keep the old "which app do you want to use to handle this intent" behaviour by turning off supported links for apps you don't like (e.g. Twitter).
That was the Matrix bullet time shot.
I enjoy material design a lot on my Android phone and in the Inbox web app.

Other than that, I find that it can be really overwhelming, as is the case here. I think it's a problem of constraint. The animations are just so heavy. And everything feels large, including the drop shadows. I actually experience some minor sense of "claustrophobia" on pages like this.
>The company claims the 45W board delivers 100 times the performance of an x86 server while using one percent of its power.

This is the most ridiculous claim I have seen yet for FPGAs.

I've used FPGAs for a long time, and IMO they don't make sense at all for compute. They are for when you need ASIC like features but can't afford spinning one. Reconfiguration time is often several seconds. They burn 10x the power of an equivalent ASIC.

Some FPGAs support partial reconfiguration now, so you can do some interesting things with changing the logic at runtime. But it's still slow, and all of your logic has to be prepared ahead of time - "compilation" times for most FPGA tools are into the hours.

It's funny. He gives an example of how by grouping data and functions that operate on that data (in a class) is a great example of COP and different from OOP...:

http://mollyrocket.com/casey/stream_0019.html

I can only conclude that he spent ten years in the world of toy class-oriented "oop", premature oversized architecture and other nonsense that follow from going from "have no idea about the code/function; will model as strict class hierarchy" -- rather than doing the sane thing BDD/TDD/throw-away prototyping -- followed by refactoring / reimplementation.

It makes for a great sound-bite -- but he's kind of attacking "straw-man" OOP.

No, stephencanon's comment is what I mean, and this may be an example of what my prof. meant that my students would not then be able to teach calculus.

By that point (this course was "differential operators", 700-level stuff) we all had a decent intuition of what inner and outer products are. The prof's comment was that looking at f(x) as an infinite-dimensioned vector, there is a unit *-cube g(x)=1 of compatible dimensions that can produce an inner product f|g (I'm not going to hunt through my character map for the dot or the integral sign). That inner product is the same as Integral(f(x), dx). This was in analogy to the differential operator being the exterior ("wedge") product of a function and its field.

The real point of the definition was relating y' and Integral(y) to div y and grad y: in y' you're going from vectors to tensors, and in Integral(y) you're going from vectors to scalars. Or, Integral(y) is a projection of y on some unit cube, and y' is finding the function of which y is the projection on an appropriate unit cube.
Google should silo those into separate categories to generic "internet access". Same with ad access. Sending data to pre-whitelisted, registered and trusted sites that register with Google in advance should be in a different category to "upload to random server in china".

Thanks for the recommendation but haven't you just pointed me to a forum of heavy book readers? Every top answer I've read cites a book or a long form journal article as its source. If you wanted to know one specific thing, I'm sure this is a great resource (sincerely: thanks!), but I doubt the posters themselves would recommend their own posts over the authoritative books they cite if you wanted to develop anything like deep knowledge on a given topic.

This might be a great place to start, but if you actually wanted to make your own deep connections about history or substantial ideas or wanted to understand the economic/cultural/political/technical origins of well anything, I'm astounded that people think they can cobble that from websites, let alone ones that are decidedly not long form.
The solution for this kind of problem will depend heavily on what type of messages you're trying to send. When messaging becomes that complex, there are often other things that impact the overall design in important ways that need need to be considered.

For example, if I was implementing something that is usually associated with user events (rare-ish, basically zero bandwidth, complex signal with stateful messaging semantics), I would probably just write a simple server to manage it all. This has an advantage of centralizing any messaging complexity and lets you manage any multi-message state easily. Rebroadcasting messages to allow peer-to-peer messaging would be a trivial addition. This would probably UNIX sockets if the connections are persistent (which can changed into AF_INET{,6} sockets easily, if you wanted to add network support).

For something that requires very low latency (e.g. audio/MIDI), in the past I have had to use shared memory, which has zero overhead once it is setup (no syscalls or context switches). Here, the need for low latency dictated the design. Of course, this means managing locks. Not fun, but a cost that is sometimes worth paying.

There really isn't a one-size-fits all solution.

Or, as troglobit said, TIPC. I keep forgetting that we now have it has an option. :(
