That's not what I meant. Sorry for the sarcastic tone. I'm saying occupational licenses enforced by the state are a means of granting political privilege to a group of people, at the expense of another group (usually the poor) through the use of coercion, i.e. violence.

This may sound dramatic, but it's true. Because if an unlicensed (non-privileged) person is operating in the market, even if they are reasonably qualified, they will still be targeted by the state on behalf of the licensed (privileged) lobby: First, the unlicensed person may be fined. If they refuse to pay the fine, they may receive a warrant. If they refuse to go to court, agents of the state will knock at their door, threaten to lock them in a cage for not paying their tribute, and ultimately use physical violence to force compliance.
I find the more effective the window manager is, the less I find the need for multiple displays.

Some tasks benefit from multiple displays. High end CAD / CAM / CAE very clearly do, as one example. Graphics, video production, simulation, visualization, are all potentials for similar reasons.

One thing I find extremely annoying in the Windows window manager is this idea of click to focus to top in order to do just about anything. On IRIX, the 4DWM window manager allowed a quick highlight, cut, paste, copy operation without actually bringing the window forward. The same is true for text input. Options like this are available in many *nix + X Window system window managers. They rock hard.

Couple that with virtual desktops, and it was entirely possible to have a ton of things going on, have them well organized, task switch with relative ease and manipulate and move information in various ways, often across applications, with a minimum of focus and context changes. There are times when I would leave the IRIX box logged in for weeks at a time as several complex tasks got worked through. Just pile 'em on virtual desktops and switch as makes sense.

Windows 8 moved away from this and toward very rigid window management schemes, and it's a significant loss when operated as intended. One can still get to the desktop and carefully avoid the massive context changes associated with metro and do OK.

But I have to ask, "why?"

I get it on tablets and phones. However, my Samsung Note 4 actually does a window / icon display and I've often used it to have several things displayed at once with the intent of using information from several different things at once to get a task done not unlike how I would have done it on 4DWM. Spiffy, if you ask me!

Doing this on an Android that really doesn't have any window capability is crazy! Lots of context switches, and lots of interactions needed for tasks that might otherwise just be a few. I find that aspect of Android and the Metro UX paradigm crippling.

Where these ugly things are in play, using more than one display is basically buying a window and all that goes with having multiple windows. Doesn't have to go that way, and I would argue, shouldn't as a default for computing.
No it's not. Reincarnation is about as fantastic as you can get. Not. Close. To. Science. At. All.

Personally I'm not sure this helps for generic AI (directly). But could serve as an autonomies piece to help the generic AI with linquesitics (especially on shaving CPU cycles)? A bit like you can use your visual memory for certain things?
I don't agree with this comment at all.

Low-level high-perf programs are extremely demanding and require a good deal of care and persistence.

yeah, embarassing to want to work at companies doing innovative and interesting work. The whole side effect of probably getting a raise to go with a new job is terrible too.
>and those who don't will vote to take others money for themselves.

The voting population is way too big for any meaningful bribe to be offered to a voter. Lets be honest, rich people work that system, voters only vote for candidates picked by rich people. The system is flawed and abusable... but only by rich people.

I said "Romantic twaddle", not "modernist experimentation". As indicated in what I wrote, I find a number of aspects of modernism interesting and worthwhile, for much the reasons you cite.

Also, I wrote about concrete experience and you've replied by talking about concrete language. Weird.

Good modern poetry has much to recommend it, but there is also a vast amount of unstructured garbage. Unfortunately anyone who complains about the latter is assumed to hate the former even if he explicilty states--as I did--that there is much value in it. For example, someone chimed in agreeing with me and then dissed Seamus Heaney. Err...

But the Romantic theory of poetry is twaddle, and it does represent a detour that has taken almost 200 years to recover from. We're slowly getting there.

The relative value of "rigid form" (I'm not sure why "rigid" is required... it certainly isn't a characteristic of any good formal poetry at any time) is something that non-technical people have trouble understanding (you see, I'm doing the same thing you did: assuming I know something about you, and then condescending to explain things to you on the basis of that baseless assumption... irritating, isn't it?) There is a proverb that every engineer knows: "Form is liberating."

We've actually got more in common in our views than you're apparently willing to acknowledge, and have instead chosen to project onto me some fairly weird ideas rather than engaging the words I've actually written. "O no! Someone is misunderstanding me on the 'Net!" is about as useful a call to action as "someone is wrong on the 'Net" but you're clearly not an idiot, so I couldn't help but be tempted to put things right. Now all I need to do is figure out how to buy you a virtual beer with bitcoin... this sort of argument is always much better with beer.
This has always baffled me about the US. Always complaining about the bureaucracy and lack of freedom of "socialist" countries, yet maintaining this absurd professional licensing that defies parody.

Out of curiosity, I took a look at the cosmetology program at the local community college [1] to see what's required. This program prepares students for the Washington State Cosmetology Licensing Exam.

Before enrolling in the cosmetology program, you have to complete these courses (number in parenthesis is number of credits):

Business and Personal Mathematics (5)
Human Relations in the Workplace (3)
English Composition (5)

You can then enroll in the cosmetology program, which takes 5 quarters. Here are the first quarter courses:

Professional Career (2)
Cosmetology General Sciences (2)
Hair Care, Hairstyling & Haircutting (3)
Chemical Texture Services (2)
Cosmetology Lab Clinic I (12)

Second quarter:

Hair Color (2)
Intermediate Haircutting (2)
Advanced Chemical Texture Services (2)
Cosmetology Skin Care (2)
Cosmetology Lab Clinic II (13)

Third quarter:

Intermediate Hair Color (2)
Advanced Haircutting (2)
Nail Care (1)
Wigs, Braiding/Extensions (1)
Cosmetology Lab Clinic III (13)

Fourth quarter:

Facial Makeup (1)
Cosmetology Lab Clinic IV (13)
Advanced Hair Coloring (2)
Business Skills I (1)

Fifth quarter:

Cosmetology Lab Clinic V (13)
Business Skills (1)
State Board Preparation (4)

I would not have guessed that many classes were needed.

Tuition is $106.84/credit for Washington state residents. The above listed classes come to 109 credits, so $11645.56 tuition.

Utter BS just to be contrarian. This says enough:

> "I have no research proving you’ll find as much benefit from a single monitor as I did."

But, the author does call upon a "professor", who then states:

> "But most people have their email up on the second screen"

Are you f-ing kidding me?

What we have here is the anecdotal evidence of one single journalist who's job clearly doesn't require having multiple screens.

This is just cheap clickbait.
I'm going against the crowd here, but frankly, I wish that more websites could switch to that model.

I'd rather honestly pay for great content that is worth reading. I think that ads misalign incentives, and force journalists and writers to focus on writing clickbaity articles to drive as much traffic as possible. If more people would agree to pay for content - we would see less bullshit ads and less articles needlessly separated into 10 stupid parts.

It would provide a legitemate business model for new writers and allow them to focus on creating high quality content instead of being forced to dumb it down to the mainstream level to get the views.

Also, if websites like facebook could suggest an alternative payed model without being hated for it by everybody, they could focus on user experience and building quality products, instead of tricking people into watching as much ads as possible and selling their data.

Right now writers and artists can only:

- Rely on ads for their income

- Beg for money on patreon

- Have to sell some t-shirts and dumb merch

to support themselves. The only honest and bullshit-less way to make money is selling books, but it's not always applicable.

I believe that if you think that the content is worth reading - it is worth paying for. Do an honest business transaction, and pay money for the value that you receive, instead of forcing people to come up with shady and manipulative ways to extract money from your attention.

If more people would agree to pay for content, internet would be a much better and more awesome place.
I think considering "replacement farms" is probably why you think that a market-solution couldn't work in this case. Think more out of the box, such as imports, or farms progressively further and further away (i.e. nearby states) ramping-up production to meet this newly-created demand. Heck, even consumer demand can change when products in high-demand have their price increase and there is little-left of it. Suddenly people make-do without certain things, change behavior patterns to suit their budget, and find alternatives.

I.e. Almonds, as one of the other responders mentioned to your comment. This is not something people "can't live without". If they wanted it prior to this market-adjustment, they'll probably not want it now that it's price has doubled. Or tripled if local shops start importing it from foreign suppliers.
I can't work properly without a second screen when it comes to web development.

By the way I have some of my colleagues that use the second screen to display their gmail inbox, that's a great loss in productivity...
Humans are able to recognize these as optical illusions. (otherwise we wouldn't be calling them "illusions")

Nice. If that was all you had to do for a few months, it would be fun. On top of a full MIT course load, it's scary.
The last time I used Oracle was 8i, but it certainly supported IF (NOT) EXISTS.

I mostly agree with you about scaling down, and culturally Oracle DBAs are big at gatekeeping, but as a fairly junior database developer I was still able to figure out the basics of installing and configuring it, so maybe it's not that bad.
Well, it is teaching a computer to do well on an "intelligence test" and ironically many of the ways that humans use to distinguish each other's intelligence tend to not measure the unique, flexible and adaptable properties of human intelligence and rather tend to be tests of more computer-like behavior in human - playing chess well was for a long time considered a measure of high intelligence, for example.
I think you made a false equivocation there--computer science in relation to programming is like geology in relation to ditch digging. Besides, math literally is at the core of all of our advancements as humans, and is probably going to be the differentiator for people in the future--kind of like degreed versus not degreed today. It is far more universal than programming, and in some respects high level mathematics may be one of the last things to be automated. If that isn't reason enough to consider of primary importance, I'm not sure what is.
This is really cool. I also like the "no frills" way it is presented.

I got into making stuff kinda by default when I finished formal training and realized my qualifications were just going to put me in a job doing the same thing over and over again. I taught myself SketchUp (or youtube taught me) and began offering my 3D design services to anyone who would give me the time of day.

I've had the opportunity to work with architects, engineers, designers, basically people from all different fields who make physical things. I have tried to go into every job as a learning opportunity and have learned so much.

I consider my work now as a problem solver for design projects of different kinds and MIT making this kind of information available makes it a lot easier for people like me who use google a bazillion times a day but have to sift through a lot of unreliable info to find the practical method that just allows you to get the job done.

Apple’s marketing materials use Myriad. It would make no sense to set their marketing materials in San Francisco. That would be totally inconsistent and weird. (Also, this is just a download page for people wanting to work with the font … not a place to show it off. I mean, if this were a place to show it off then setting that in San Francisco would still be wrong, wrong, double triple wrong. You would set the text in Myriad and give examples of San Francisco.)
The amazing part is how commonplace these rapid prototyping tools are now compared to even 5 years ago. With TechShop's and HackerSpaces in almost every major metro area, these tools are more accessible than ever!

I've tried to install NixOS on an old laptop, for a minimal installation, there were some things I did non like:

* Default packages are compiled with all the dependencies

* The configuration language is a functional programming language, and that's a plus, but the syntax is quiet weird, not similar to ML, Haskell nor Lisp.

* some command line tools are cryptic at best, for example searching for available packages is done with nix-env -qa \* -P | fgrep -i "$1"

Ask HN: How much should I be paid an hour? (Australia, Contract FED)
I'm a freelance front-end dev in Australia. I currently get paid $420 a day. I have no idea how much the recruitment agency who placed me are skimming off the top.

I can't shake the feeling that my rate is at the low end, but because of the secrecy between other devs and the recruiters I have nothing to gauge myself against.

Am I being shafted?
Yes, I just close the tab.

It's the user experience that puts me off - dialogs with patronizing sentences like "it looks like you are someone who enjoys great content", signing up with a strong password, storing that password in passwordsafe, verifying email, logging in, selecting a plan, entering credit card details....

Instead, if they just used a prepaid wallet through my gmail sign-in and silently deducted some amount - say 10 cents for every 5 minutes spent on their site - without bombarding me with all those irritating dialogs, I wouldn't mind paying.
Ken Iverson spoke at a local ACM chapter meeting, circa 1971 or '72, and advised one of my pals not to spend a lot of time on this book. The implemented language had deviated from "Iverson Notation", and he recommended that we look at e.g. Gilman and Rose instead.
A huger problem is copyright nonsense. If Google allows e.g. automated takedowns of gamer video because there's music playing somewhere in the background no amount of video streaming virtuosity will work.
You raise a good point. What to do. I don't think lobbying to reform the licensing regime would work in the long run.

I would say, band together and disobey the regime. Disobedience is risky at the individual level, but risk can be spread across large groups to make it tolerable, and worth the reward. Ignore, subvert, circumvent, and carry on business as usual to the highest degree possible until the regime collapses.
I couldn't answer exactly, but one guess would be that there is more turnover in relationships at very large universities. In high school you largely move through the same classes with the same people in the same grade, versus college where you initially take a bunch of gen ed classes with people whom you may never even run into on campus again, and with more intermixing among a larger population. Also that you're younger in high school, so the time spent there is a greater fraction of your life up to that point, making the experience seem longer overall. A year or two at high school age can seem like an eternity, where as a year or two in your late teens or earlier twenties is a smaller drop in the bucket. Hopefully not just my perception - many seem to acknowledge that time seems to go by faster as you get older. Plus many people go to college, at least the large state schools, with no real intention of actually finishing. Fewer people have that attitude towards high school.

Both people can try to build a long lasting friendship, but if only one is trying while the other is being opportunistic, it's less likely to go anywhere (speaking generously).
True that. Web development from my laptop seems like a total chore compared to my 2 monitor rig at work.

What's interesting to me is that someone who uses a work computer mainly for word processing (like the author) would think he could be more productive on two screens in the first place. Did other professions imitate web developers by using more than one monitor?
They're obviously crazy to us. Our illusions might look obviously crazy to them.

And generally humans don't natively know when they're experiencing an optical illusion. They have to be taught it. And in either case, it's not the human vision system that learns the lesson, it's some other part of the brain that learns to discount the vision system's conclusions.
The references I linked cover 8 patents out of 130. For the fourth time, please link to evidence that they and the other 122 don't apply to anything we might build in ECC. And also that NSA and companies wasted millions on patent licenses for nothing.

Otherwise, it's obvious that you are spreading advice without the slightest idea of what's true here. Otherwise, you'll probably have a link to all those patents and analysis of how they don't apply that you can post within next few minutes. A link to analysis you and your side have already done rather than crap you're making up on the spot. You're faking it though, so you won't have anything to post.

Like everyone else in the ECC debate. Nothing but your word, which at one point thought patents didn't exist (neither the NSA nor anybody else has a patent on ECC). Given you're knee deep in this stuff and supposedly a security professional you must have been lying. There's no way you couldn't have known as a crypto/security geek that there were patents on ECC given all the debates. But you assured everyone here that nobody else has a patent on ECC. Such lies could've cost commercial groups that trusted you quite a lot.

I understand if you're more focused on dismissing the competition than proving 100+ patents don't apply to your claims. It's way less work that way. You'd have to dig them up, read them, evaluate them from a legal perspective, and write up reasons they don't apply. Complex, boring stuff compared to coding. I'll understand if you never take the effort to back your claims about 100+ patents and expect the rest of us to do the same.

Its all about the money they are willing to invest.
If streamers with a viewership of 2-3k people on twitch can maintain/increase their income they will probably inclined to leave twitch.

And on the other side you need culture to make it work. Aliases instead of real names / emotes etc.

It will be a success the viewer base of yt in every demographic is to big but maybe not in the ballpark google wants it. Twitch will survive this and has to innovate which they dont really do atm.
Learning to think for yourself is independent and critical thinking, which isn't the same thing as adulthood. I know adults who don't do either, and non-adults who do both. The author is mostly-spot-on that by 30, you become an Adult, but this is still a meaningless concept. Being an adult just means you've fucked up enough times to know better and have finally got the knack of this whole "living" thing.
The trend I see is developers moving away from two monitors to one big one. Less head movement, fewer cables, and fewer software driver issues seem to be the reason.
The major change which I see is how the Python code becomes more pure. Using code which are side effect free gives me the ability to easily reason about them. I can jump in the code even after many months and easily understand them without trying hard. Using function composition to glue things makes complex system very simple.
