The Two Travelers and the Farmer North America A traveler came upon an old farmer hoeing in his field beside the road. Eager to rest his feet, the wanderer hailed the countryman, w…

The purpose of the constitution is to protect the public from the tyranny of the government. And within the public, to protect the minorities from the majority.

No, it's a republic because it has a constitution that sets out the rules for what the government is and is not allowed to do. Democracies give the people absolute rule, whereas th…

No, we have a republic. Fundamentally different animal. In a democracy, the public could vote to do something that would be considered wrong such as stripping voting rights from ev…

Lamport isn't behind the P language, and it isn't as expressive as TLA+ so it isn't a replacement for his work in that area.

First of all, it is a republic and not a democracy. The difference is quite important. Secondly, to attribute the problems to the constitution is mistaken. That founding document i…

The source code used to be open, and it isn't clear what happened to it. Maybe ask over on the arclanguage.org forum as HN is written in arc. The closest thing to a source repo is …

There is one problem with this service offering (and it isn't insurmountable). Put yourself in the position of a founder who just spent the last 12-18+ months building your startup…

The new focus on the 'automation push' is for political reasons and not for any other real concerns. Ask yourself what changes in society are being agitated for the most? What is b…

Maybe online software as a service? Lufthansa does something similar with their backend airline systems to defray the development and operating costs (and turn a profit). Maybe mor…

The credit managers at one of the Big Four Australian banks are waiting for the real estate market to burst before they swoop in and buy investment properties. It would be better t…

Consider the alternatives to the index fund: 1. Pick individual stocks and directly buy those. (A lot less diversification and a lot more hands-on management required.) 2. Hire a s…

Index funds don't require you to manage your investment. Basically, there is a simple rule set the fund follows to diversify your portfolio and grow your money. Unlike managed fund…

The only way to make it grow is through investing it. The more risk you take on, the higher it has the chance to grow. However, at the same time you have an increased risk that you…

Why don't you research the job agencies and find one that says it works with candidates to help them with interviews and the like? Since the agency will be paid only when you are p…

Even if your 5 on-demand subscriptions come in cheaper than basic cable would cost, you would not be willing to accept that?

Pip is built on top of setuptools/distutils, so you are using them without even knowing it.

I don't care for the idea of contaminating the ocean with nuclear radiation in the case of something going wrong with the reactors. That seems like a really bad idea.

In the IT industry, finding good startup ideas is a hard problem.

So the quality is reliant upon your 'personal software process' or individual discipline while you work rather than upon practices like test-driven development, continuous integrat…

See Norvig's Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years: http://norvig.com/21-days.html Keep in mind also there's a difference between a full stack app and a focused framework. With t…

Stop worrying about an 'interesting tech stack'. Most development work in the world is decidedly unsexy. Watch the job market carefully over the next couple weeks and pick the most…

This doesn't help fixed income home owners who Prop 13 was designed to protect.

I would recommend you focus on only 1 technology/software project to tackle. Spend the first 4 weeks doing no programming at all. Over the weeks 5-8, think about the project goals,…
