macromaniac: "Patience, I'm still working on salad..."

> This article is for computer engineers who would like to have a high-level understanding of how the dual parity calculation works, without diving into all of the mathematical details.

I believe that is the value proposition for reading: gaining an understanding of RAID-6 parity calculation while glossing over the math-y bits.

Don't take IDEA local history as a replacement to version control, rather a supplement.

[TINSTAAFL][1], but what a functional programming paradigm takes away it replaces with brevity, concision, additional type safety, and greater opportunities for the compiler to restate your algorithms in a form more conducive to parallelization and concurrency.

Exile means to be away from one's home (i.e. city, state or country), while either being explicitly refused permission to return and/or being threatened with imprisonment or death upon return.

So he's probably not so much worried about whether or not he can return to the U.S., but rather what would happen to him when he did.

Thanks for clarifying!

For at least a few years now.

I remember watching a Hickey talk where I think I recall him saying it was even before 2011, but the exact name escapes me at the moment. However, I was able to find this snippet from 2011:

Fogus: Clojure was once in parallel development on both the JVM and the CLR, why did you eventually decide to focus in on the former?

Hickey: I got tired of doing everything twice, and wanted instead to do twice as much.

I would too, and here's some anecdata for you: one of my old bosses would conduct weekly one on one meetings with all of the developers on his team (anywhere from 4 to 8 of us at different times) and I'd have to say that personally they were some of the best manager-direct experiences I've ever had since.

One on one meetings are one of the most important tools out there for helping organizations build relationships with their people, helping them produce more results, as well as increase retention.

Anybody interested in starting them at their organizations should check out the manager tools website. They produce several weekly free podcasts as well as offer other products and services.
