Very true, culture is a type of information system and it depends on distribution,
so at some point the cause of alot of problems lies at corporate media production creating a positive feedback loop of shitty culture (low quality information).
The longterm solution is clear, its a waste of effort to try and put the tubepaste back into the tube.
Not just your phone, my 4790k froze. Like jesus.
People confuse marketing with innovation. Ask the creator of sliced "wonder" bread.
I think the mindset is valid but the people behind it are inconsistent, if your locale is being around indignous african people. Then killing and enslaving them kinda goes against the whole "act local" thing.
Thereby making them immoral by their own standards. You cannot export your sense of locality to somewhere else, i dont think thats how it works.
very dark yet very accurate
RPN style thinking is also something i feel that helped. Because "thinking" has the inputs on tape/memory already, so its matter of bandwidth and pre-processing.
i.e "lets do the integratation"
becomes
"integration do".
Programming and math start at opposite ends but will eventually meet in the middle,
they both deal with computation (modification through time).
Only math as a language originates from past assertions to model a determinant factor,
while programming deals with future assertions as to produce determinant factors.
Its alot easier to make arbitrary mistakes in the latter then the former.
The language of computation is now a common tongue and of course there will be people who master it poorly or who you perhaps would call inferior.
I think this speaks more for the "inferiors" (programmers) not against it. You can make syntax in math represent anything but practically mean nothing, having programmers in fields where they could make big mistakes, points to its power.
Quite recently, mathematical knowledge was reserved for the "elite" in part because of the dense amount of esoteric grammar that exist in math, and i would say still is. Alot of things can be expressed in multiple ways like geometry, algebra. The "real" math you speak of is instilled convention.
Sometimes the most efficient way is not always the best way and correctness only exists in the framework itself.
If you are going to compare math and programming then you first have to acknowledge that math is also just a language, to express certain concepts in which itself is quite littered with dead and inefficient code.
The fact that the grammatical and syntax constraints of higher math are mostly applied ad-hoc in proofs,rings,fields means you can keep refining some fraction of it ad infinitum thereby giving the illusion of correctness but in its essence is a rich mans PHP.
"Most of the officers I talk to are motivated by a strong sense of right and wrong."
is total opposite of
"There are plenty of calm, humble, balanced police officers."
Its a coinflip wether you belong to the right or the wrong end of the scale dependent on environmental factors shaping the police officer.
Preferrably you would want someone who can think for themselve. Which a police department absolutely doesnt want, hence they screen against high iq.
hierarchy and balance dont mix.
What if each observer hold its scale as a state (like a ear mark), so the thing is observer independent. Sounds like a universe to me.
Well yea because a dimension is infinitely divisiable. so a dimension can hold infinite dimensions within it.
like i.e numbers.
You might have looked at the code but i dont think you know what you are looking at. comparing it to a database is just silly.
There is no "state", the state gets created and verified by transactions. What this means is that integrity of the system does not depend on a central unit, it hinges on the environment.
hard to spoil a frikking appletree
Lets not fool ourselves into thinking this is about security. We are talking about microsoft here.
its not like they would ever break anti-trust...
Wouldnt touch neo4j with a ten foot pole.
Between the orientdb/neo4j dick swinging contest and the whole oreilly "graph database" book for pure fluff. I am left with a very bad taste in my mouth.
It tries to do the whole vendor lock-in thing... badly.
The other side of the story is that they probably want a consistent approach to education,
having people go "unconventional" as they say.
might work but it also might backfire. Its like being on the bleeding edge.You might bleed.
I think the fast food analogy plays on the fact that every burger should be equal quality.
Innovation comes at a cost in education, you are playing with lives.
More like sparse array.
Why would we want bitcoin to be relegated to a black market only use?
Bitcoin is more valid money then paper currency. we can directly verify the creation of the transaction.
The Church of HTML send thy 10 commandments. Only the purest of websites will make it to our kingdom.
obey you heathens.
It sounds like biologic growth, processes bootstrapped to other processes.
IBM did a study on this, i think they call it the doherty treshold, or maybe just the show "halt and catch fire".
it assumes that anything under 400ms response can add to the addictiveness of a user interface.
feel free to replace model with dogma, when talking about politicians
Completely agree, you can spot the competent programmer from miles away who was atleast some opensource projects he thinks of as "hobbies" in his portfolio.
companies dont care what you think you can do, because you have a degree. they care for what you can do for them, if what you are doing in your own time complements the things they would like somebody have done for them. the choice becomes easy.
What seperates this javascript module from other javascript modules? besides convenience what kind of value adds it to a business?
javascript is typically something you shouldnt focus on as open source experience imo. so many people doing it and doing it badly for feelsy points.
you think the person who wrote nginx wouldnt get hired? something mission critical that alot of businesses use.
Who says anything about freelance work. People think experience = programming + being paid.
experience = programming if you can show a active github profile with clean code that shows you are pro-active or a expert in stack or domain, why would "they" not atleast contact you back.
on the other side, if you have just been coding closed source, brain farts and clones that have no innovation or any overlapping area in what you are applying for, then why would they hire you.
if your looking to get hired by a Oracle or a HP, freelance experience wont cut and i doubt a github profile either, but besides huge corporate companies. most small/medium sized startups are willing to hire programmers that can learn and supply added value.
value is the keyword here, having more then 1 trick in your bag is a must if your coming at it from the "no diploma" angle. Thats why i recommended people to write code for readabilities sake. if nothing else, someone can read it. even if its some crusty 10 year old code.
Personality grows out of the environment you are in. Teaching personal responsibility to someone who is on the street associating with gangs can be a lost cause.
I think prison can serve to change someones environment to such levels that they are willing to change themselves. Maybe not 30 years of prison though.
Tend to agree with this. For instance big porn sites, where every byte count, rarely has major bloat.
