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, who seemed happy enough to straighten his back and talk for a

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 the constitution denies a majority from enacting certain

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 everyone who likes country music. And with majority rule, that

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 is the only thing standing in the way of a complete and total

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 this from many years ago: https://github.com

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. Would you then be willing to hand over the reigns to

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 being put forward for the solution to the automatio

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 more uptake of the product from California wineries.

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 to wait on any sort of real estate based investments or other

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 stock broker to invest for you. This is like #1 except now yo

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 funds, there aren't fees to the fund manager to eat in

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'll lose your investment. A money market account is saf

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 placed in a good role, their incentives and yours would

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 integration, etc.?

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 the end-to-end app, you have to so

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 promising looking jobs (no more than say 5-10), r

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, what tools are best for it and do your research into p

Are you familiar with how compound interest works? Using this strategy, you may spend the first 2-5 years building up a broad but solid baseline of skills. After that, the amount of learning required to keep up with all the fads in technolo

At first, I was afraid you were giving away the game on churning technology. But then I realised the sad thing is that no one will probably follow your advice, even though this is the best answer to this question.

This is a mistake. The list should be the set of languages both people already know. Letting syntax learning be a barrier to problem solving will not be fun and it will create an initial imbalance in the pairing. You will eventually want to
