If you're counting in a (rare) two-deck game with a full table, time between shuffles is so low that it isn't worth it from a hand/hour standpoint.

Except that in the case of live poker, they're getting theirs via the rake.

I assume you're talking about blackjack: unless there is a CSM at the table or an absurd 6:5 blackjack payout (you shouldn't be there in either event, period) you can absolutely play to your advantage.

Whatever your thoughts are on Java the language - would it not make sense to focus efforts on the OpenJVM project and all the languages it can support?

Putting Go on the JVM would be taking a language that only has a few "great" features (fast compile/startup time, decent memory efficiency, simple static binary output) and neutering it to the point of irrelevance.

Ah yes, feel sorry for someone who chooses to live where their rights are not (or are less) infringed upon.

Don't forget the close-to-10% state income tax (at engineer income), higher sales tax, CA SDI, higher food/utility costs, higher insurance, etc.

If you're lucky enough to work in a state with no (or low/fixed) income tax, that 10% combined with the hilarious housing cost situation covers the spread in salary difference very quickly.

And if you're working remotely there are obviously other potential lifestyle savings to be had (parking, generally less restaurant expenses, etc.)

In most cases, companies aren't actually able to adjust point-for-point for CoL.. it just isn't possible in any market with local opportunity. If remote markets ever see dramatic expansion/acceptance, CoL won't even be a mentionable factor.

CoL might be N-300% higher in SF but salaries (thank wage-fixing companies) are not. Salaries are (necessarily higher) but it's easy to dwarf the spread in normal, requisite expenditures.

CA has a high state income tax, relatively higher sales tax (than most midwest areas), and in the case of SF, the oh-so-obvious (self-inflicted) real estate problem.

I was very hopeful when I saw Ecco.

Company of Heroes - 1500+ hours played. I miss it so.

I thought that was Team America, World Police.

address a perceived lack of homegrown IT talent

Drive down homegrown market prices by increasing supply.

If Rust had asynchronous I/O this would be less of a head scratcher.

Too bad that AIO and related, necessary primitives were forsaken for other priorities.

> expressive enough so "scripters" feel at home

As much as I love all things Haskell, there is no way it fits the "scripters can use it" bill.

Have you seen Nim? (http://nim-lang.org)

Wow.

There is no minimum spend to use AWS IAM. $1k a month over there goes a bit further, too.

Reforming the DMCA is critical

should be "Repealing"

This would be the ultimate feature. Languages with dynamic dispatch would do well to implement this feature.

with all the complexity that implies

Running the installer and paging through the wizard.

Which can be used today via 6to5!

TOTP and HOTP have been standards for how long now? (HMAC has been in papers since 1997 or earlier, HOTP since 2005)

We have 2FA devices like the Yubikey (https://www.yubico.com/prodcts/yubikey-hardware/)

that are so incredibly small. Why is this not something you'd implement via RFID challenge/response to stop any attack?

They're still all over the place.

But these specific firearms are (artificially) worth so much you'll never see them.

systems

Here we go.

Has AMQP changed substantially in two years? For purposes of publishing a simple event?

This exists: https://github.com/omniti-labs/pg_amqp

August does everything they are claiming and doesn't require a total replacement.

TPMS sensors or RFID tags?

Without pointing out specifics: Nim has comparable ambitions to Go but Nim actually has escape hatches for people that desire "more."

Your first price is about two times what top shelf, domestic black market prices are presently at.

In Jersey, one of the worst states for private firearms ownership in the country.

"Unlawful weapons" isn't a crime in the vast majority of free states (excluding NFA items and the like.)

Considering phones haven't had Flash (easily installable, that is) for a considerable amount of time, I doubt you're affected.

Specifically which database?
