When I saw that this was inspired by Erlang, I expected to see light-weight processes and built-in language constructs to support Actor style message passing between processes. I don't see that or anything else Erlang like.
Actually, I said fuel cell because of these reasons. H2 isn't nearly as energy dense as diesel. We've already had fuel cells that use diesel for a while:

I wonder if this Xamuel guy is a bit off his nut. He invents a word, "pseudo-real," to classify 0.9999... and other such representations. He eventually castigates the reasons behind declaring 0.9999...=1, and then asks a profound question: "The real question is not why 0.9999...=1, but rather, what on earth are real numbers in the first place?" It's OK to ask, of course, but he's asking it in a profoundly silly way.

For starters, 0.9999... is no less a real number than 0.9999 (i.e. 9999/10000). If we wish to continue on his line of thought, then we should all concede that any scrawling used to represent a quantity - any quantity, real number or no - is a pseudo-quantity. A scrawling is just not the real thing, whether "quantity" is in fact something real or simply the product of human imagination. Hence, "1" is also a pseudo-real, along with "I", "a", "0.9999...", "cos 0", etc. It's anyone's guess if there is such a thing as a unit of anything at all.
One of the lessons I took away from the static analysis tools I architected (PREfix and PREfast) was just how many bugs you can find with simple pattern-matching.

To make it work in practice, you need some UX support -- including explanations (so in this case, making it clear that the results are undefined if the integer starts with a 0) and recommended fixes (specify the radix). Otherwise, people are likely to dismiss the messages as a false positive.
I work for a private company and we contract out to both the private and public sectors. There is definitely a lot of private work; not just investigations but document recovery etc. It also segues into general security work. The public sector, at least in the UK, is on the decline. Budgets are dropping and so everything is going in-house and they are getting rid of the expensive contractors.

Most of the work in my experience is fraud related, probably around 80% of it. But this can vary (with the time of year, current economic/political climate etc.). As exciting as it sometimes gets to sound (and indeed, sometimes is) 99% of digital forensics is sheer. absolute. boredom. :)
There is no confusion. Otherwise, iOS would be grouped with OSX and all the Windows would be one long bar.
Wikipedia's plot summaries have sure saved me finishing a lot of gripping but bad books
Well, it's about monetization.

Nobody's going to give them $40M if there is no conceivable way to get their money back.
If the requirement to issue a warrant is merely that one is using a technological means of hiding one's location, the warrant becomes an automatic consequence of using VPN or Tor. The warrant would be for the FBI to remotely search and grab electronic records.

If you use or have used VPN or Tor, then any judge anywhere in the US, could sign a warrant for the FBI to invade your computer.
does anyone know if it will solve the consistent copy-paste shortcut problem in Linux. Yes, I know we cant use ctrl-c .... but the lack of consistency which I see on OSX is frustrating.
Although it's true you introduce some level of trust in that scenario, it's patently false that you lose all the benefits of bitcoin. A company offering accounts via Lightning would have all of the standard reasons not to cheat customers.

And again, keep in mind we are talking about access to money -- a money that cannot be debased -- for those people living in the poorest and most terribly governed areas of the world, where debasement, hyperinflation, and the utter destruction of savings is commonplace.

Even if they don't get the full benefits of on-chain bitcoin transactions, they will still be light years ahead of where they were relying on failed local currencies. A massive improvement even in the worst case scenario, helping to lift real-world folks out of poverty. This is something to applaud and cheer for, not shake your head at or mock.
Imagine what the Boer war rations did to his flora and fauna.

> You [are]... likely a Big Pharma employee.

It'd be nice to make big Pharma wages, and even better to make big Pharma profits, but alas I am a simple, dedicated data scientist working with a non-profit.

> They will - like starlings - naturally "sync."

Unfortunately, such claims fail Hitchen's razor. Have you read Sagan's "Demon Haunted World", by chance? If not, I highly recommend it. There is no need to project a metaphorical substrate on reality -- sometimes things simply don't require shadowy entities running things from the shadow.

I say this as I eat a nice slice of pizza on a Friday evening, with a cold beer on my coffee table and a movie running while I puzzle over figuring out SQL Server and podman/docker container max sizes. I have shadows in the room, but I am confident no one hides there.

> You sound naive

This is certainly true. There are a huge universe things I wish to learn more about before concluding I am a powerless peon.

EDIT: I have figured out my podman issue, and --ulimit=host and --security-opt label=disable are now committed to at least my short-term memory.
I don't normally go on "pop culture rants", but as an ex-whedon fan, he's the worst of the bunch for me, and I'd be more than happy to see his work relegated in favor of more unique IP. I can't deny the "technical quality" of his work, but eventually you watch enough sci-fi and realize that while of course everyone pulls heavily from their predecessors, Whedon takes the kitchen sink. Dollhouse was the breaking point for me, both in terms of it being a weak, less predictive imitation of RuR, and the fact that at the end of the day, he has a pattern. He has good actors for that pattern, but you see them enough times and seeing them more times isn't really adding to anything.

There's a lot of noise about mourning the death of sci-fi/cinema etc, but the gems have always been the outliers. Metropolis and later Dark City, Delicatessen/City of Lost Children, Firefly(yes, I'll give him that one, outlaw star has some things to say, but that plot trope was already as old as the Romans.), Primer, Dark Mirror,
I'm rambling at this point and this is totally going to spawn another sci fi binge, but my takeaway is that there's been a reasonable stream of surprisingly good sci fi that has popped up in unpredictable places over the years, even into the torrent era. I have some faith it will continue to bubble to the top. My theory is that the only reason good sci fi seems so rare now is that it has become so swamped by bad sci fi as it has begun to fill the mainstream.
Yes, binary releases are a convenience for users of common platforms, and not a catch all for every version of every relevant platform.

This is why the source is available. Implementation in Ruby, or any other interpreted language, does not guarantee compatibility. Not all systems have current interpreters or dependencies.
I for one support sanctions on NK for voicing threats against Sony.

It's immaterial whether they did it or not. I'm just sick and tired of NK's tantrums and hopefully this will keep the propaganda arm of NK govt keep its mouth shut for a little while.
Sure. But if you're working for a non-remote company, you need to live in the area where the company offices are. In that case, your expenses naturally go up.

Résumé/CV: https://beckman.io

Email:pelle@beckman.io

10+ years experience in digital & physical design. Academic background in design, construction, computer-human interaction.
A CS degree doesn't fully train you to be a coder, and coder training doesn't prep you for an advanced CS degree. The Java/C++/Python they taught in my undergrad CS courses, along with the homework assignments that took 30+ hours to do, are only about 30% of the level of stuff you'll be expected to do in a high-paying job. Most of the stuff I learned was on my own...I had expected a college CS curriculum (an Ivy nonetheless) to touch on the stuff I had self-learned but they never did.

Funny story for what it's worth: When I was in undergrad, a few friends and I launched an API service...We needed some extra help...so we put out a part-time programming internship on nearby Craigslist Manhattan (hoping to get some smart college kids since there are many colleges nearby). We actually got a resume and cover letter from our not-so-nice CS T.A. who had graduated with a masters....from a year ago.

Keep your job.
Endangering people on the road is already a crime.
You are getting modded down, but you are correct his description has a few sentences that are bad enough to be somewhat off-putting. Its bad form in the art world to call something you created a masterpiece or extraordinary (even if it is).

I chalk this up to lack of experience.

The work is beautiful, it would be better to have less hyperbole in the description .
I think it is a matter of what is safe.

While Ada doesn't provide the parallelism safety mecanisms from Rust, is is pretty much a safe systems programming language, specially the SPARK dialect.

And I do conceed that using RAII or memory pools is a bit more cumbersome than in Rust.

EDIT: Forgot to add that for me systems programming safety has been for a long time what Modula-3, Oberon and Ada offer. Only recently it became clear to me that Rust safety module is more broad.
IMHO, this is the biggest feature that should be considered for the smaller paid tiers:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/2105

The kind of people I would like to have as free users wouldn't even label issues. They'd submit an issue and I'd have to deal with it. Think entry level issue tracking, not a JIRA competitor (for my needs).

Also, being able to mix tiers would be great. The way Microsoft does Office 365 is awesome. Each user is on a plan that gives them exactly the features they need.

GitLab is really weird in a way. I think it's a really good product, but, at the same time, I don't want to invite anyone to use my self-hosted instance and I don't bother learning about the features in the paid tiers. The big issue for me is that I'm a long way off from being able to pay $1200/year per user, so there's no point in learning about any of the "expensive" features.

I know I'm not worth having as a customer in terms of profit, but I know people who are. I'm also a lot more willing (and able) to experiment with new features and workflows. There's got to be _some_ value on the low end to make an open core product practical.

If you ever decide to allow mixing of tiers for self-hosted, maybe you could include some free licenses. 1 Ultimate, 2 Premium, etc. would have almost no impact on revenue from large instances, but would be a significant help to small developers in terms of the cost average of their first 5-10 users. I think it would also be beneficial for the first several users to have access to most features because that makes it more likely someone like me will build using those features.

For comparison, the first 10 full features users in a self-hosted Atlassian setup are very inexpensive.
Sounds like a management/culture issue. That's not an excuse to not cycle in new staff and people move around.
This would not work for most links due to cross origin restrictions.

You would also end up sending the validation request for every client page view

The fact that it's not open-source? The blog post is posted today and from Google themselves, so I assume there's new information.

I play on Linux using Lutris. Worked out of the box, is pretty great.
(Disclaimer: I worked on the Word Viewer Web App last summer)

One of the things I think differentiates this from Google Docs, albeit for a small subset of users, is that equations created in the rich client's equation editor are rendered in the viewer (it just so happened the only Word doc I have on Sky drive is a problem set). Most people won't care, but it's pretty nice if you do use it. My pet use case: If you keep your stuff on Skydrive (I don't...yet) and need to print from a non-Windows machine, it's nice not to have to have emailed oneself a PDF generated by the rich client.

Being able to edit the equations would be great, but perhaps unsurprisingly, that's beyond the scope of the 1.0 release.
Really?

I think a human being qualifies as a complex biological system. Oddly enough, I think a new user would rather interact with to a human than a cricket, a mouse trap or an old DOS machine (to name some simpler systems).

Indeed, humans are rather clearly adapted to interact with other humans. So it's clearly possible to systems which are both extremely powerful and very easy to "use". We human clearly aren't yet at the point of easily constructing artifacts with this combination of power and usability but we shouldn't take that as proof of anything but our inability.
While I don't actually setup the networks, I do work with the ad sales team at Grooveshark (mostly in development for new proposals). This doesn't directly answer your question, but here's a few things I've learned:

1. Setting up a network outside of Google Ads is all about traffic. Most of the networks have minimum traffic quotas and won't really talk to you until you satisfy their requirements.

2. Most use Google's DFP (DoubleClick For Publishers) to serve/price ads.

3. Be aware that the lower quality ad networks are susceptible to malware intrusion which sometimes run through their ads and you will have no control over when they infect your users.
I agree with your entire post, but...[1]

I'm not saying that the deal is off, but we're going to have to really work on clauses 3 and 4 before we can move forward.

I interpret that statement as "unless you come my way on clauses 3 and 4, the deal is off."

For me, it's hard not to read two statements, joined with a 'but', and not interpret the first statement as a 'lie'.

[1] irony intended
Agreed. I wrote an IRC bot that says the html <title> of the page being linked to if it is behind a shortening service. I was surprised by the number of people that actually wanted the bot back whenever I initially disconnected it.
My guess as to why she's "randomly selected" so much is the way she holds herself. Having been a cop, she probably has much different body language from everyone else.
I think the author isn't saying "These words always mean someone is lying" as much as she's saying "When people hear these words, they tend to assume you're lying". Yeah, some of them might be stretching it, but I think the author's basic point is right on.

For instance, when you say "I'm not saying that you murdered her, I really don't think there's enough evidence to make such a case at this point, but the evidence really doesn't look great for you right now", you might mean that seriously. However, if I heard that phrase my first thought would be "He/she thinks I killed her..."
I will agree with you. I'm not familiar with these test banks, but if they are publicly accessible, what's the point in banning them? Here in Greece, all our university teachers encourage us studying any material we can find, even past exam papers, and most provide the papers themselves. We are also allowed to take the exam paper with us when we finish the examination.

If you're a teacher, it's part of your job to write novel test questions. If you can't be bothered to do that, you can't tell people "this is what I'm going to ask in the exam, but don't read it". This isn't even the minimum amount of effort to keep honest students honest.

As another poster said, studying an entire test bank is studying the material.
People are emotionally averse to firing others they may have been working with for years, and there's not a good enough reason to fire someone in a private organization unless they affect the bottom line, and outside of exceptional cases I don't see how the bottom line changes much based on individual teachers. You're probably not going to quit private school based on any one single teacher.

You need a strong economic incentive for the organization in order for the "fire more easily" idea to work. For instance, if a private school got paid according to the competitiveness of the college the student is accepted into.

I, for one, am glad you took the time and put some more context to this whole situation. And frankly, I can't understand how anyone could argue with you right now, as it seems there is no disagreement. You merely pointed out other variables that the blog post didn't cover.

As for myself, I'd much rather support someone who provides all facts than conveniently leaves out stuff that could damage his cause.
What happened to him was bad and this extra details would not have made much of a difference. By leaving them out he gave them far more importance than they would have been before…
Same thing with the "crossing over" folks who claim to talk to dead relatives right?

"You had a family member who passed recently right? Or someone really close to you"

"Yes, yes! My aunt passed away earlier this year!"

"Ah, yes! And... and... she was sick right? Or in pain close to her death?"

"Wow, yes!!"

"You were close with her, or you were close with her family right?"

...etc
Great! We need even more complex laws ...
Don't let the spammy book cover fool you. It's likely one of the best marketing books you will ever read...seriously. Quite insightful.
I'm curious to see wich kind of legal weapon the movie companies are going to use to fight this one.

I expect something like forbid playing rental dvds on players more than 10 feet away from the TV... This is going to be sick.
I guess, it's actually like renting a digital copy (since most of the time it will be served through cache, right?), just you aren't able to serve more copies at the same time than you legally possess.

That's smart.
... and sold at $20? :-)
Most of them probably ended up in the same nice little flats everyone else in Singapore now lives in, unless they weren't Singaporean citizens. There's a reason people keep voting for the PAP, and it's not just the prevailing culture being rather more tolerant or even favourable towards overbearing government than Americans.
Sometime app ask for permission right on spot that it's needed. For example when sharing with friends, they ask for contacts permission so they can fill in "to:" field of a "send to a friend" dialog. It's all reasonable and nice until you realize the app sent your entire addressbook to their servers and you start seeing recommendations to connect etc from your friends contacts in the app...

Can iOS solve this?
If you don't use it you lose it, but if you had it once, it's far easier to get it back.

I've had multiple times when, for whatever reason, I ended up not coding for months or years. It always takes at least a few days (and honestly, it's getting longer as I get older) to get my head back into it, but after month or so of full time coding I'm making progress again. And honestly, I feel like these breaks have made me a better software developer, because each time I come back with broader experience and a wider view of what I'm trying to accomplish.

Arguably I'm not as good a computer scientist as I would have been if I'd stuck just with coding for my whole life, but I feel like I'm a far better maker-of-useful-things.
Is mobile omitted or that it didn’t make the top 20 or so
I had a different take-away from that movie. My understanding was that Kirk avoided facing death/the no-win scenario his entire life. He cheated on the Kobayashi Maru and found clever ways around losing anything his entire life. It wasn't until the end of the movie that he finally had to face his "Kobayashi Maru" and deal with losing Spock. My lesson learned is that Kirk's assertion that "he doesn't believe in no-win scenarios" is naive and that how we deal with death and "how we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life, wouldn’t you say?"
Yeah that is kind of how I'm approaching it after I was diagnosed with serious health issues. I just take it easy on my job where I can do in 20 hours what others take 40 hours. I still get paid well above what I need to live. My travel times to work are good. I rarely have to work on weekends.
1. Use Deep RL to predict stable 3D protein structures that would not normally occur in Nature

2. Simulate gravitational dynamics to winnow down candidate crystals that cannot be synthesized in terrestrial conditions because they would collapse under their own weight

3. Find novel applications for those proteins such as DNA data storage and computation

4. Design a prototype microgravity factory that operates at scale and exploits rapidly falling launch costs

5. Convince Big Pharma to invest using the rationale that space is the next big profit driver

Best of Luck ;)

I pay for premium as well and those embedded ads bother me much less because I can always skip it manually and I understand the content creator needs to be rewarded. I much prefer embedded ads to some solution like paywalls that appeared on newspapers/news sites after growth of adblockers.

The US, where Cooks Source seems to be based, is a signatory of the Berne Convention[1]. From Wikipedia:

The Berne Convention requires its signatories to recognize the copyright of works of authors from other signatory countries (known as members of the Berne Union) in the same way as it recognises the copyright of its own nationals. For example, French copyright law applies to anything published or performed in France, regardless of where it was originally created.

Additionally, The Berne Convention makes copyright automatic in countries which observe it. This image, also from Wikipedia, shows the Berne signatories in blue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Berne_Convention_signatori...

While my post is "not necessarily [true] for the rest of the world," it is true for an awful large portion of it.
