Wow #2 would bug me. Its good they are willing to help an end client, but they should never change your account without discussing it with you first.

Out of curiosity, how did Sendgrid compare to Mandrill with deliverability? You mention the point about Mailchimp having the deep relationships (which is one reason I have stuck with them for most emails), but did you see that benefit quantifiably, via less delivered mail with Sendgrid or some other metric?
Has there been any word on a 'Server 2015' release? There was a passing comment, I believe at Spark / Build, but no real details.

Will Office 2016 be released the same day?

And the small fact that the North is a totalitarian shithole.
What you're describing is just as 'made up' as the metric you're opposing - your 'hard yards' are still based on people's opinions, politicking, and ulterior motives.

Keep in mind that even the GP's original quote included at least two references to the difficulty in measuring the trait ('tricky' and 'had to use indirect measures'). It's not like the researcher boldly strode forth and said "This is the way, have faith!". The results are also suitably couched. It seems like this "bad science!" thread is making a mountain out of a molehill.
Is ReactJS really fast?
For this reason, I've learned to encrypt my first-ever email keys (from 2013 -- hey, I'm young) into an encrypted disk image that I can mount from any computer sync'd on the cloud.
I think it is a chicken or the egg problem with Julia right now. Julia is very much a positively viewed language that isn't being used much.

There are not enough libraries (I looked 3 months ago) for me to do my work in Julia.

There isn't enough users to make the libraries for my use case.
10x programmers do not exist, because programming ability is not a scalar. Give a hello-world task to write to an average programmer and a super-hero programmer. You won't probably see a big difference in their productivity. Actually if the task is too easy, your super-hero might get bored and become even less-productive thn the average programmer. Now give them something really hard to solve. If the task is hard enough, there are chances your average programmer would give up, regardless the amount of time you give him to solve the problem.
C people, isn't it perhaps time to quietly pasture the existing standard library and create a new one, from scratch, that isn't chock full of booby traps in the small print?
It's because there is an enormous body of evidence that talent exists. It exists in the form of different levels of cognitive processing, in different levels of hand eye coordination, in, you get the idea. We know this exists. We can voluntarily affect cognitive processing with cocaine or oxygen deprivation, and involuntarily affect it with things like strokes or head damage (some head damage leads to mastery of skills like music, though most usually it is damaging). Any number of tests show that people learn at different rates, rates predicted by cognitive abilities. I've excelled at things I didn't much care about or practice, and lagged on stuff that I put my heart and soul into.

A Lesson to Software Developers I Learned from Photography
Wow. I didn't know that they really lacked the social safety net. So maybe now that they are more industrialized the could have a real communist revolution and see what happens?
Yeah. There are also bots that bring people to orgasm, and bots that hypnotize people over a text channel.

I suspect that we might get bots that win AI-box experiments (convince a human gatekeeper to type the phrase "I let you out") long before we get "true" artificial intelligence. People are just too exploitable.
I have so many old computers/electronics. I can guarantee I couldn't pay someone (other than garbage collection) to take them, let alone make money off them.

Waldoline – line slope learning game (JavaScript)
This is a small weekend project built using JavaScript/jQuery and CSS. The game is intended for students, but anyone can play. It's fairly simple and measures your success based on time and wrong answers. I will enhance it with time, but I think this is okay for a MVP version. All suggestions and observations are welcome.

The code can be found on my GitHub: https://github.com/dinkom/waldoline
They're used in HFT, it seems mainly for sending and receiving orders.
The problem with the terminology is that it's tied to a number. Why not just call them ”good” or ”great” like every other profession does?

There is no one who can consistently provide a 10X increase to a company's bottom line, period. That might happen in rare cases when the previous setup was so catastrophically bad that any competent developer could have made a big impact with common sense changes. But no one can go from company to company and consistently have an order of magnitude impact on anything.

If the myth were true then a ”10X” developer would be able to go to Google, Twitter or Facebook and make their service 10 times faster or more profitable. Does that sound even remotely realistic to you? Sure, in a small shop one person can have a disproportionate impact. But there are no 10X developers, only 10X situations.
I agree, I graduated from the Korean Basic Course at DLI, and from what I remember, the main differences between North and South are not that insurmountable from a language perspective. Not having foreign loan words and using more pure Korean (as opposed to Sino Korean) words are the biggest differences. Certainly doesn't make them unintelligible to each other.
If you interact with most people in the Chicago and Pittsburgh offices, then I would think those positions qualify as ones you're personally involved with.
I tried using PGP in Thunderbird on Linux. It was a pain. E-mails suddenly didn't format properly, and I got weird error messages at unexpected moments.

I'm not sure of your background, but it is actually a pretty simple concept. To satisfy static equilibrium on a given transverse "dx" segment of a cylinder, the walls must balance the internal pressure (in this case taken as the pressure difference), so that:

stress * 2 * thickness * dx = p * 2 * r * dx.

[ stress * walls cross-sectional area] = [ internal pressure * projected internal area ]

Solve for stress, you get:

stress = p * r / t

Regarding your question, yes, as the radius goes to infinity, the stress goes to infinity. The area where the pressure is applied grows with r, but the cross-sectional area where the stress is applied is still (w * thickness * dx.) This equations work well for thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessels (r > 5t is general rule of thumb). For a cube, you would have to develop the equations, but keep in mind that you will have a singularity/discontinuity on the walls because of the right angle.

Wtf: Jeff Legault, the head of business development for NREC. “I would have preferred [Uber] just come to us” to develop the vehicle rather than hire away scientists, he said. Yeah, that would have worked out just great for the scientists forgoing 6 figure bonuses and doubling of salaries. Sounds like Jeff didn't want to compete for talent. Good on Uber! I dislike the sleazy biz tactics, but poaching is not sleazy. It's recognition of worth.
How is this any different than all industries? Why should I believe this discrimination is worse in my field?
Very cool!

Nice UI touches too, e.g. maintaining js/history and show/hide editors. I notice the app state is captured in the URL which lets you save a favorite shape. Neat.

What does the throttling do? And what happens without it?

I'd enjoy reading someday about how you developed this (w/ annotated source) and your experiences using core.async, Om, figwheel, etc.

Thanks for sharing it!
Should I stop drinking bottled water?
Agreed on the screens, and I'll add to that the trend of cut-down keyboards with missing/non-standard key arrangements and absolutely flat keys.

Low key-travel to actuation is fine (and actually makes for faster typing), but there needs to be a soft "damping" stop past that to cushion and rebound the fingers, otherwise it feels excessively rough and abrupt to type on.

Then again, seeing how many people just can't seem to type without looking at the keys, or barely use the keyboard at all, it's not surprising that evolution has removed the features of keyboards that don't give any advantage for them.
Heh. This is fun.

Well stated. Cisco's docs go into great detail on this - they've spent a lot of time thinking about how to address the issues in plain ol' BGP with SoBGP (Secure Origin BGP), and they concluded that determining a BGP speaker is authorized to announce a particular route is impossible in a functioning internetwork.

Wait, what? Who are you calling a troll?
Uber does not seem to care much about its reputation in its rush to own autonomous transport. When self-driving cars are ubiquitous in a decade or two, I wonder, will decent folks still opt for the biggest bully in a crowded room?
Welcome, Programmable Human
The reason why companies abandon their phones is because there's no incentive for them to do otherwise. Once you've bought the phone, they're not going to get any more money out of you, so why throw money away updating it?

The only way out of this is to give manufacturers a piece of the action on apps sold through the store to users of their phones. This would align their motivations more closely with Google's.
Well, you can run multiple simultaneous particle chains and sum their results. There's some wasted work since each will need to burn in, but modern algorithms can make that go quite quickly.

It could be interpreted that the NSA exists to catch criminals. Spying on the US government is a crime in the eyes of the US government, no matter where you conduct said spying. Counter-intelligence is an effort to catch those that spy on the US government, despite the fact that is likely illegal in the country of the person being spied upon. Although, what they do in terms of counter-intelligence doesn't always turn into criminal proceedings.
Basically it looks like more angle generates more lift as long as there is entrainment of the air by the top surface of the wing. The entrained air is directed at a more aggressive angle, generating more lift (action-reaction). However, at some critical angle, the smooth entrainment of air by the upper surface is replaced by turbulence, as shown in the diagram, taking with it much of the lift.

I'm Czech and I can attest to something similar in my country with its measly 10 million people. There's a Bohemian and a Moravian/Silesian dialect.

Bohemia is part of the country where Prague is and with that dialect, you can fare very well all over the country. You'll stick out, and sound downright silly in the depths of Moravia, but you'll be fine. I can't ever remember not being able to understand a Bohemian simply because most TV shows are dubbed by Bohemians.

But if you're a Moravian (like me), you'll be quite unlucky in the rest of the country. Moravians speak quite quickly and in a deep voice. The language in the thick of it is nearly impossible to understand. There's nothing offensive about it, it just sounds like garbage to any person that speaks the proper Czech language.
Semi-serious walkthrough of Hildebrand, an async Clojure Dynamo client
While this is obviously a win for Altera: they gain the Intel process advantage; this deal does have a number of advantages for Xilinx:

- Altera will now likely lose early access to all the non-Intel fabs. And sometimes one of the non-Intel fabs come up with a process advantage before Intel does. Fabs love to work with FPGA vendors: the regular structure makes them good targets for new processes; and FPGA vendors are the only people that can sell a single chip for $50,000.

- Big guys are only interested in big markets: Altera may abandon some of the smaller niches they currently play in.

I'm sure there are other advantages Xilinx gains by staying independent.
Lets distinguish two separate concepts:

Unwelcoming: the community dislikes a person and behaves badly towards them. As an example, a recruiter told me not to bother with Warby Parker or Etsy since I'm not a hipster and they'll just reject me. (No idea if this is true, might just be #shitrecruiterssay.)

Not my thing: a person dislikes the community, it's norms and culture, and avoids it. E.g., I don't like banking culture.

You seem to be suggesting that "tech minorities" feel that tech culture is "not my thing" - we socialize and dress in a manner they dislike, work hours incompatible with their preferred lifestyle, and don't give out the right employee benefit package. As a result, "tech minorities" don't put in the effort and don't build the relationships that would help them become 10x programmers. I get the impression you consider this a problem, but it's unclear to me why that is.

How you get from this to the idea that 10x programmers or programming talent are a myth is not something I could figure out from your post.

That seems oversimplified to me. Uber could have funded the research and given grants big enough that the professors and researchers could match their uber salary, while still receiving the perk of contributing and sharing their knowledge.
I hope the develop open and cheap compilation tools to force xilinx to do the same.
If your goal is optimization then MH is a bad choice. This is fine since MH is simply not an optimization algorithm! It's design to make accurate samples from a posterior distribution which you can measure but not find a functional form for.

It's a vastly more challenging problem than mere optimization.
The guy who is at your startup may actually be a better programmer than some of those who work for the big 4 you named. Many super-hero programmers are not motivated by working for huge companies with an established name, nor by the slightly better money they give compared to startups. I personally know some programmers at Google / FB / Apple / Microsoft and I also know a few working for startups or doing their own startups and, while all of them are probably one of the best I know, there is no obvious skill level difference between them and definitely not "10x".
