"I'm defining 'power' as a non-specific mix of expressiveness, terseness, maintainability, readability and flexibility"

There might be room for some unspecified mix of these qualities on an argument over the "bestness" of a language.

But I'll quibble here and mention that power is conventionally defined as ONLY expressiveness/terseness with no consideration of maintainability.

In the J programming language:

quicksort=: (($:@(<#[) , (=#[) , $:@(>#[)) ({~ ?@#)) ^: (1<#)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_(programming_language)

Now that's raw power... (and may not fit all requirements!)

The Social Network gave you the wrong impression. Perhaps this is a better definition "Zuckerberg Syndrome," i.e. the condition of thinking that a person is smarter than they really are simply because they are rich. (It probably originated with Gates, in reality.)

Anyway, Mark is smart, but so are a lot of people. And Chris was the marketing guy who got the site in the Crimson with impressive frequency, not Mark.
> Assuming the devices all implemented the spec consistently.

That's an assumption big enough to drive a truck through. In my experience, every platform needs custom support or hacks to fix little annoyances, problems and incompatibilities. You end up with de facto per-platform support even though you're using common tech.
Average 80year old voting today won't be alive for the duration of the current government. They had their chance at politics and if 62 years of their voting got us here then I think we can safely say we aren't losing anything by removing the vote from them.
I would guess that the amount of people who care about which keyboard layout

how annoying it must be to be in that group, though.
Apple was far from the first mover.

Rio was there first with a better product. Apple had better marketing though and the rest was history.

Official report and link to PDF here: https://www.gov.uk/aaib-reports/aaib-investigation-to-boeing...

The PDF isn't long and is worth a read if you're interested in learning from other peoples mistakes. Of note is that the issue was known and there was a manual workaround that was not used for that flight because the team doing it didn't work on a weekend.

Reading the document it looks like the manual workaround was then implemented into software. This hack just masks the underlying problem rather than providing a robust solution.
Relatively unlikely in this case because from the description is seems all the traffic is to/from one EC2 IP address.
From a global routing perspective this makes sense. Otherwise every store has to advertise its netblock on BGP. Not impossible, but it bloats the routing table unnecessarily. Better for Apple to keep those addresses on its campus and let the stores connect like regular Internet endpoints.

Even better would be for Apple to return most of those addresses and only use a handful of /16s for its hosted services like any other business and switch the internal nets to RFC1918.
I'm skeptical of the idea for a number of reasons, but I don't see any harm in someone trying.

My skepticism is based on questions like:

How is the presence of tracking determined? It can be hard to detect tracking when done by the site itself, and even harder to determine if that site allows access to the data it has collected.

Will people pay any attention? The web is full of various badges and certifications (mostly around security), and I expect that most people are blind to them now. Would they notice a new one? And if they did, would they consider it actually meaningful?

How would the badge-granting process minimize the gaming of the system. You work in SEO, so you know very well how such things can be gamed.

I have a number of other such questions, but I think those are the big ones.
>so in this case if California law mandates public beach access, Khosla needs to provide it somehow, and can't weasel out of it

I think people may be misunderstanding here a bit. This case is regarding access above the high tide line. Access below the high tide line is not in question. I'm just thinking from a lot of the comments I'm reading on both sides of this issue that people really aren't quite grasping the question being settled.

In essence, the only thing being debated, is whether or not Khosla has to provide a road and convenient parking above the beach. Predictably, the courts are saying the obvious, "No he doesn't." Why? Because he is obliged by law to make the beach below the high tide line accessible.

FOMB will likely lose their case because, as a series of judges are now making more clear, the public is only entitled to keep the beach proper public. (ie-below the high tide line.)

Also, the courts are not being paid off here by the wealthy in an attempt to disenfranchise the public. The base issue is one of definitions. Obviously, globally speaking, high tide line has served as a fairly convenient, and somewhat obvious definition of "beach". The question you have to answer if you change that is, if the property line is not at the high tide line, then where is it? That's the point at which you start to run into problems, with some saying it's high tide plus maybe 100m? Others might say high tide plus 400m, while still others could claim high tide plus 800m and on, and on, and on.
I am the 5%
Most of the effort in making a language a production language is on the tools and libraries end of things, and LSP is sort of the tip of the iceberg in terms of getting into that stuff. Before that, you probably want to have features like "good error messages" or "working string and math libraries".

For a long period in the past 15-odd years, new "Web" languages were getting plenty of adoption because the state of the tooling for that segment remained barebones everywhere, with a lot of functionality already in SQL or JS and anything in between being glue, and so competition on language features and syntax took precedent. It's probably in a consolidation phase now - things are getting more exciting in the lower layers of the stack instead.
Yes. SOLID white #ffffff on black #000000 is a rough scheme. The whites need to be muted a bit so they're light grey basically.
1. My understanding is that the issue is getting to the beach, not being on the beach itself. Everything below the mean high tide line is public, but all routes to the public area pass over private land and in Khosla's case he's having success arguing that there is no easement.

But that only applies to routes over land, right? I wonder why no one has started some kind of shuttle service that runs boats from a place the public can reach by land to Khosla's beach?

Charge people $15-20 for the trip, and also offer snack and drink and suntan lotion sales, beach umbrella and beach chair rental and other things like that.

2. I haven't really been following this case, but I recall that at one point he was making an argument based on the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which was the treaty between the US and Mexico that ended the Mexican-American War in 1848. I haven't seen any mention of this aspect of the case in quite a while--was it dropped?

It was this treaty that gave the US ownership of California (and much of the rest of what is now the western US). Part of this treaty was a guarantee that the US would honor existing property rights of people in those territories that were switching ownership from Mexico to the United States.

The argument went something like this, I believe. Under Mexican law, private ownership of beaches was allowed, and many California beaches were private. When California became a US territory, those beaches remained private under the Treaty. When Calfornia became a state a couple years later, in 1850, its Constitutional provisions making beaches public did not apply to beaches covered by the Treaty.

This seems like sound reasoning up to that point, at least in the case where the beach was still owned in 1850 by the same person who owned it when the Treaty was ratified.

Where it gets iffy is dealing with changes of ownership. Usually in the case of real property you can convey all your rights to the next owner. You can probably make a decent case that this means that if one of those original owners sold their private beach to a third party, or passed it on via inheritance, it should stay private, because the right to convey such ownership was one of the property rights they had when it was part of Mexico, so should be covered by the Treaty.

But what about the conveyances one step beyond that? Two steps beyond? Surely the intent of the Treaty was not to forever make Mexican property rules apply in former Mexican parts of the US. It was to provide a fair transition so that the current owners would not lose out as those territories transitioned from Mexican rules to US rules.

I'd expect most beach property to have changed hands enough times since 1848 that it should be considered fully transitioned to US rules, and California law would fully apply.

It says much about our society's priorities, that we say, "Those who can't do, teach."

Is that the root cause of our society's teaching-related woes, or is the aphorism itself a consequence of glut of bad teachers?
This is really like comparing a screwdriver to a KUKA(http://www.kuka.com/). Given a random object, anyone will be able to screw more screws into it with a screw driver than with a KUKA... But given a large number of similar objects than the story is quite different.
How do you explain the fact that they spend hundreds of millions of dollars just to break these protocols then? Enough with this "NSA doesn't care about you" argument already.
The main problem on Android for me is that there's absolutely no way to download a file. Chrome has Save Link As option for links, but Firefox does not.

It's interesting that you can still download videos if you let them play and then hold the finger in the middle of the video until a menu pops up and you can Save it from there. So the download functionality is there, it just isn't exposed.

This is a shame, because that download function works much better than the one in Chrome (with Firefox, you can pause/continue).

If you're planning on building your business on the cloud, the availability of free credits seems like the worst way to evaluate a cloud provider. Generous "free" credits might even be a warning that they have to pay people to use the platform.
Looks like the Windows support is provided by a third party that isn't able to produce windows installers past the 1.8.0 version. I had to search around a bit to find that one, so a direct link for anyone that wants the 1.8.0 Windows x64 installer package:

He does provide a 7-zip portable binary for 1.8.1+.

I did download and try it briefly. It has a wordpad-like feel, pulldowns for bold, italic, indent, lists and so on. Seemed pretty nice to use.

If it's not competitive with the current "capitalist" offerings in those areas, people won't choose them unless necessary. The only reason we have hunger and homelessness in a nation as wealthy as the USA is through choice, not lack of resources.
I can’t say what was in that woman’s head, but neighborhoods that have a lot of rentals tend to have a different character independent of race. Homeowners have stable enough lives to have saved up a down payment, they tend to be older and have families. They also have a reason to not annoy their neighbors, because they will have to live with them for many years.

Now, younger less settled people also need places to live, and the Bay Area’s solution is to send them to Stockton or something, but not everything is about race.
I think this sorts of makes sense for free services like Search, Gmail and Youtube, where each "client" (user) only gives them a tiny amount of revenue.

This makes very little sense for Cloud Computing where each one your clients gives you large amounts of cash. Maybe they are too used to the first scenario.
Property tax rates rise WHEN YOU HAVE MADE MONEY ON THE HOUSE. It's as simple as that. If you don't want to pay them, sell the house for a huge profit and leave. If you do want to pay your fair share and continue to live there, take out a second mortgage.

We're talking about millionaires, not vulnerable victims.

It just shined a light on how shaky the foundation is we’re standing on. This is relatively tame considering its just some back-doored bolt on software.

What happens when it’s the build compiler for the Windows OS? How about the intel NIC firmware?

Our only answer seems to be even more automated updates. Yet that means a slip up in chrome build security could compromise tens of millions of people in a week.

It’s mind boggling how fragile all of this is. It’s barely safe with insiders behaving correctly.

How many people do you think have to sign off on a code change driving the Qualcomm chipset in your phone? My guess is 1, and that’s if it’s a “modern” development process. So that’s it, two people colluding and you’ve got a back door worth a fortune to a nation state.

What a fucking mess.
Yes, it's called CalFile.
They got the deal by quickly offering Pfizer and Moderna (not the devil) whatever they asked: More money (but ~$40 instead of ~$20 per dose is trivial, to both sides), indemnification, and data.
There's also usually a quite noticeable difference in sheer fun, and that's what cycling is mainly about. More money can buy a lot more fun.
You have the European Union to blame for this, I’m afraid.
Exactly.

A lot of teams seem to also struggle with no "face to face" communication. Yeah you can't turn and talk to your colleague but you can press "Call", which arguably is the same amount of effort.
Don’t forget the state form that you have to do. Add that to your ten minutes and complexity rating.
I think that you can take all of the differentiators that exist for ICE vehicles (price, reliability, status ...) and then add in some new factors:

1) Range anxiety

2) Recharge concerns (plays into range anxiety)

3) Novel technology fears (will my trusted mechanic of twenty years be able to handle this or am I stuck with the dealership?)

4) "Handling" -- will this drive like my old ICE car? Apparently a major irritation factor from some EV adopters I know, who disliked how out of control they felt.

5) Technology settling ... my guess is that the standard voltage systems within these vehicles will eventually settle on a standard between these vehicles, because people will be interested in the "pluggability" of EV options if they are that much simpler. Can I just plug in my dashcam, or do I need a voltage converter? I'm driving over to my friend's place, can I use his charger?

I'm probably missing a few.

All EVs have fast enough acceleration (some dangerously so.) So competition there is not going to continue.

I'm less sure about that. I think it will remain a distinctive feature that people will actively choose for or against, at least.

The new Mini EV from BMW (and which is replacing the i3 as BMW's 'flagship' EV) has only 0-60 in 7s which is not very interesting at all. But they're not aiming at the performance crowd (plus it can only do about 150 miles on a charge). Meanwhile Tesla can boast sub 5s 0-60 in almost every vehicle so anyone who wants that "slammed into the seat"/"first away from the lights" experience will still lean towards them.

A sub 5s 0-60 will be a selling point for me when it's time to go electric. If I must go electric, I want some dopamine-inducing benefit for it, and beating the remaining petrol cars off the lights will be a big selling point for me even if I'm buying a 7 seater SUV or whatever ;-)

> How do they ensure law enforcement are not complicit in the coup?

"Complicit in the coup" makes it sound like they're on the side of the Trump morons. This is certainly possible, but does having comically understaffed security when it was extremely well known that there was going to be a huge crowd serve Donald Trump, or someone else? Like, when you turn on the news, or read forums, do you get a feeling that this is playing out in favour of Trump and his supporters?

I am going to be paying close attention to how this story is spun over the next few weeks, including the type of language they use, and we'll see if an investigation that can be taken seriously is ever performed. And going forward, how often this event is used as "proof" of how dangerous "right wing extremists" (or populists) are.
This looks like a specific account on an individual server. (which could have been registered by anyone)

Each Mastodon instance chooses which other instances they can federate with (whitelist or blacklist). Given that Mastodon's early adopters included a large amount of people who switched because they thought Twitter should have banned more people (often because of perceived harassment), they tend to quickly ban or blacklist anyone they see as bad actors.

It's free from censorship in the sense that someone could run their own server, but doesn't guarantee an audience.
My point is that you are then deigning someone to have the power to decide what is tolerant and what is not, when that is not nearly as acceptable or uncontroversial as you seem to be assuming. For example:

> If progressives are pushing for more freedom, more tolerance, then to oppose it you have to, by definition, advocate for less of those.

The framing of this is not correct. The problem is that not all "progressives" are pushing for that, which then undermines the assumption that opposition is therefor automatically intolerant and therefor automatically bannable/deplatformable. Some of the real progressives I follow such as Graham Elwood and Jimmy Dore have frequently had issues with their platforms giving them a hard time (demonteizing, etc) just because their positions or even topics of conversation are controversial, and many of them frequently mention they wouldn't be surprised to be deplatformed for said reason.

To me, the real crux of your position, is that by completely bucking the standard of free speech in which we have legal definitions for speech that isn't tolerable, positions like yours seem to want to expand those definitions (libel, defamation, imminent incitement to violence, etc) to a point that you must now designate some non-legal entitiy as the moral arbiter of what is intolerant/tolerable, and that is indeed a most slippery slope.

I think I have rewatched these two videos of Christopher Hitchens on the topic a good half dozen times each in the last year, and I keep thinking about their content. [1,2] From [2], I will link the timestamp of what I am about to quote [3]: "Whose going to decide? ... Who will you appoint? Who will be the one who says, "I know exactly where the limit should be, I know how far you can go, and I know when you've gone too far, and I'll decide that" Who do you think, Who do you know, who have you heard of, who have you read about in history who you would give that job?... Not for you, but for the people you are listening to and the peoples whose comments you hope to hear in return, for your own education, for your own elightenment, and for your own elucidation, as Mr. Paine says, commenting on Milton, one of the vices of those who would repress the opinions of others is they make themselves prisoners of their own opinions, because they deprive themselves of the means of changing them."

Some thoughs about composition and inheritance.

What do you think about handling the missing `instance` member from DifferentialGeometry by splitting it into two types, PreDifferentialGeometry without this member, and DifferentialGeometry which has two members: the Pre- struct and the instance member?

This way we move the missing `instance` information from the value space to the type space.

If there are significant methods called on both the Pre- and full version of the struct, we can even impl Deref on DifferentialGeometry so that it calls methods on PreDifferentialGeometry automatically.

Crick developed his understanding of the structure of LSD during an LSD trip. Steve Jobs developed an active aversion to buttons during one of his LSD trips. These were merely two examples of direct counterpoints to the GGP post. These weren't concepts that were enabled indirectly by LSD; they were the direct results of the LSD trips, not cases of "I was able/not able to do <X> because I took/never took <Y>".
