>MacPorts feels opaque and isolated in comparison

What does this even mean? If it means "uncool" then, yeah, I get it.

If you are comfortable with Ruby, then it is easier to build packages for Homebrew, and since it isn't centrally managed like MacPorts, things generally get packaged quicker for Homebrew. On the other hand, MacPorts has a long track record and has generally been bombproof for me across 3 or 4 OS updates now.

As an existing MacPorts user, I looked at it from the standpoint of "what is this doing for me that MacPorts doesn't?" I didn't see anything that seemed compelling enough to switch.
> "if the RAM is the weakest link it doesn't matter what underlying FS is used"

When is this ever the case, though? Even non-ECC RAM is more reliable than hard drives except when a RAM chip has died, which most ECC systems don't handle well either. Full chipkill capability is pretty rare.
Yeah, I'm talking about the different populations thing to illustrate an extreme example about the 'luck' concept. It's not directly related to the study.

Not sure I understand the % biomass issue. The tissues you're referring to - epithelial - are the ones doing the bulk of the cell division in adults, and the ones where you'd typically get the (early stage) cancers. Something like smoking increases your risk in two ways. You get a higher mutation rate (chemicals enter your cells and mess with DNA replication). You also increase the number of 'lung cells' you need to clean out and replace, causing more cell division. Obesity (and size in general) has a direct theoretical effect: more cells = more opportunities to divide = more risk events. Caloric restriction presumably is the opposite of that: do nothing and eat nothing, don't have your cells get replaced, and you reduce the number of risk events.

I think the deeper question in cancer math, if you get the single-gene level biologists and population level statisticians to talk to each other, is how much of the cancer is due to mechanics (number of cells, division counts) that are out of our control, mechanics that we can affect, genetics that are out of our control, and how much is genetics that are fragile but susceptible to prevention and early treatment. That's the sweetspot; that's what we ultimately want to find - genetic markers of things that are going to break but can be patched or protected or fixed.

That's why we want accurate models of risk - in different kinds of tissues - in the first place.
It goes back to the NextStep days too.
Since we can’t have perfect knowledge in all situations, I took the meaning of “rational” to align more with making the most likely “right” choice under uncertainty. It’s more aligned with Bayesian decisions, where our prior beliefs get modified as more information gets processed. We may still be operating under some degree of uncertainty but there are certain choices that are more rational than others.

Coinbase is the brainchild behind cryptocurrencies? How? They were not the first, they are not the biggest, they don't have the most cryptocurrencies/platforms, they are not the fastest/cheapest/best support and so on.

In fact, I can't figure out a single thing that Coinbase is the best at in the cryptocurrency industry. So what do you mean with brainchild here?

If you're getting into this stuff a great resource I found is the ZipCPU Tutorial [0] by Dan Gisselquist. The tutorial covers both Verilog design and Formal Verification methods. It uses open source tools like Verilator and SymbiYosys so getting started is pretty easy.

I run a similar site (95% read-only), and have been pondering whether it would make sense to use something like Varnish's Edge Side Includes (Like SSI, combining cached static page parts and generated dynamic page parts) -- I wonder if they've considered that and what the results would be like?

This is the route that Diaspora and those who want to be "the next Facebook" should have taken. Just give ordinary users a mechanism for sharing things with their closest friends that's easier yet just as flexible as email, and you have a winner.

Idea: have an easy way of sharing stuff that's for "everyone except for the parents." (Also have a way of tagging friends who are your parent's closest friends.) Combine this with a way of tagging already-published stuff as "not for the parents" which will revoke items which you've already sent. (Also delay everything sent to parents and friends of parents by 30 minutes or so, so you have time to change your mind without their ever knowing.)

EDIT: We're reaching the point where your computer/smartphone photo sharing mechanism can detect your face in photos and detect scantily clad people. We should be able to have the device detect these conditions and your parents on the recipients list and pop up a dialog asking, "There's racy content in this photo, do you want your parents to see it?"
FWIW, games are patentable inventions according to the US Patent Office.
Going to agree with you on this one. Viewing ratings is always questionable considering one person's 3 is different from another person's 3. On the other hand, the review system is supposed to be personalized, like Netflix. All it does is map you to those with a similar taste and recommend to you restaurants that you've yet to try that others with similar tastes have tried. The more you use it, the better it gets.

"We" for some value of "we" accept companies aiming at making money. If they're not shipping to Alaska or Hawaii, that suggests there's some reason they believe it wouldn't be profitable, right?

If Alaska and Hawaii are really under-served, that seems like an opportunity for someone -- you? -- looking to make a buck.
I wonder what happened with risk awareness. I know many who even at the time thought it was insane to decommission so much of preparedness. Could it have been a generational thing? Or just a huge sigh of relief after the cold war ended? I think risk awareness decreased approximately in the same pace conscription numbers decreased.

Do you mean Edward Tufte?
To tackle this issue in Kubernetes (specifically for a db), I have created persistent volume claims that are mounted across replicas in a db deployment, with the permission of multiple readers but only one writer. If we know that Postgres stores all its data in /var/x, then we can mount /var/x in all replicas as a shared volume.

In terms of the point related to taking into account in your application, as long as you have all the db replicas under one umbrella as a deployment/service, then having one endpoint for the db is fine and it is no concern of the application.

Keep in mind I am still learning Kubernetes, but this is what I have done to scale up separate back end components. Are there any objectionable/wrong practices being done?
I’m just saying the mention / comparison you are making is very similar to that kind of rhetoric. Also, it doesn’t relate to the actual problem but can be used to undermine the seriousness if these values are true.

By lowest cost I didn't mean the actual cost of the chips but the cost of the whole architecture. As you point out, the best solution might require chips that can't be found off the shelf.

I guess the metric they're trying to optimize is cost/performance/watt or something like that.

> When you call ImGui::Button("Hello World") it has no way of telling if it’s the same button as on the previous frame

ImGui does have stable widget ids, otherwise many features which require keeping state across frames wouldn't work. In case of your button example, the widget id is hashed from the label string "Hello World":

https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/61b19489f1ba35934d9114...

This is just the default behaviour, there's also a convention to define the id separately from the visible label string behind a '##':

https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/61b19489f1ba35934d9114...

Of course other immediate mode UIs might have a different way to define widget ids.
Of course there is a violent threat behind copyright law as well - enforcing the right to ownership or the right to copy. Why else do you think anyone complies with laws, or cares what government decides? Government is about violent force

Communal punishment is considered a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. While those clearly do not apply in the situation you propose, it may be an interesting datapoint for considering its fairness.

I appreciate your call to pay attention to subtlety.

And in that light:

Both science and economics are used broadly and brutally to justify a biases.

Both are ignored for their ability to measure, and used to shout over disagreements instead.

May we use both for more nuanced conversations, instead of less.
In reality, these days, software engineers train on the job to a large extent too. If your employer uses a dozen different technologies - languages, frameworks, tracing frameworks, infrastructure providers - which isn't at all unreasonable these days - then good luck to them with finding someone who has solid experience in all 12, especially if one or two are a bit off the beaten track. So I don't think "trains on the job" is a good definition for low-skilled. Low-skilled means there is less to learn, IMO.

Both of which terms are explicitly used in the article. :)

However this is not a sortition. It's an application of random-dictator to the problem of electing a per-constituency representative. This turns into a sortition only in the degenerate case where everyone runs and votes for themself.

How do you get the listed places? had a similar idea once (for a different market though) but we couldn't find a way to get them. Or you've got a person phoning all local businesses?

As for feedback:

* your urls are not SEO friendly

* so when I find an experience, where do I go from there? I think you should have a hard look at monetization. One easy way is to just let people click a big orange button "I am interested!" and then you can sell that qualified lead to the business. Lots of $$$ to be made there and you also get satisfied users.
XHTML2 was largely fantastic, imo, and would have been an excellent successor to html. If it had been what started out the XHTML process I think it would have been more successful, but XHTML1 was such a foot-in-both-worlds mess that it needed to be put out of its misery.
Grooveshark did not make a stand against the music industry. They made a stand against Google and the RIAA. Seems like Google is afraid of the RIAA and just drops anything from the store the RIAA doesn't like.
>That's why you run a network of high frequency services (every 10 minutes or better). You turn up at a stop and wait on average 5 minutes

Except that isn't realistic for everywhere. Even in a pretty densely populated country there will be areas that just can't justify that high frequency.

>again waiting an average time of 5 minutes. That's convenient and you don't have to drive either.

I'm living in a country that has, imo, the best public transport in the world. Even in remote areas a bus or train will be there once an hour. Normally it's 30 minutes in smaller towns and 10-15 or less as you go up. The issue is the connections. 5 minutes here, 15 minutes there. You don't have to travel very far before public transit is taking double the time it takes to go by car. I really hate driving, I feel like it's throwing my time in the trash. The issue is, as a programmer, I'm more productive in 2 solid hours than I am in four 1 hour periods.

>Would still create congestion on busy routes

Congestion shouldn't be any issue at all if everything is computer controlled. When you try to schedule at a certain time the computer can already say that you'll be picked up 10 minutes later and arrive 10 minutes later. Most congestion is caused by stupid things human drivers are doing. Get rid of human drivers and driving suddenly becomes vastly safer.

>and I suspect a huge number of these cars would be needed purely to cater for demand for about 2 hours of the day.

This could be but that would mean that, say, 80% of all public pool cars would be sitting in a central parking lot most of the day. How is that worse than now with 100% of cars sitting idle most of the day? Plus in many places every family will have 2 or more cars.

It's a close knit community, and as such there's little to no chance of getting a good investor's attention without proving yourself within the community first. Without any prior connections, I am in a spot where I am quite certain I can get funding when I start my own thing. The best advice I can give is to get out to the Bay Area and work for a startup. If you're good, you'll get noticed by people that can hook you up down the road.

The good news is that it's pretty easy to get a job with a VC-funded startup right now. Good engineers are hard to come by. The hardest part is making the jump!
I expect your detection is a little broken :)

Much more along the lines of:

* Start with Python

* Have a great time and build successful apps with it

* Become global-scale infrastructure provider

* Hit problems that only occur at that scale and switch tools

The take-away is, you're almost certainly not going to end up at the size of Dropbox. If you're spending ages as a startup futzing around using bleeding-edge technology just because it's cool, you might well be wasting time – or at least prematurely optimising.

This is the perfect example – Dropbox has the engineering talent to write a set of libraries to implement basic features. Earlier-stage companies don't have that luxury.
I'm using modern loosely as anything that improves upon the git CLI. Examples being: autocomplete suggestions, sorting branches by most recent, the ability to check out PR's from Github, and auto-fast-forwarding a branch when possible. In addition to some convenience commands like `bit info` and `bit save`.

I don't think email encryption will ever be more widespread than it is today. People simply don't care, and even those few that can be convinced to use it will invariably do something that invalidates the whole exercise like bring their key to a public library, use it on their phone, resend the entire conversation in plain text accidentally, lose the key and generate a new one with you having no way to verify that it's not actually mitm, etc. All of this has happened to me.

You may be thinking of something very much like Personal Rapid Transit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_rapid_transit

My favorite design of PRT was always SkyTran, featured in a Popular Science or Popular Mechanics magazine years ago: http://www.skytran.net/phpsite/home/Home%20Intro.php

Real world engineering issues aside, my gut feeling was that a suspended/hanging pod would offer more stability and ability to accelerate than a traditional pod resting on top of tracks. If the pod could swing back and forth, acceleration and deceleration would push riders down into their seats rather than back or forward toward the windshield.

The Big Bad Wolf and Batman roller coasters come to mind. :)
I like how easily the arithmetic can be mapped onto a stack or tree structure.

In the back, there is a FAQ, including this:

I was really disappointed to see that sort of thing mentioned; I had been hoping for better, more wild-goose-chase-y examples where the wrong hypothesis was compelling and consistent with equations that accurately modeled reality - things like the luminiferous ether, which yielded the accurate Lorentz equations, and the caloric theory of heat which yielded many accurate equations and experimental results (indeed, its fluid model of heat is so parallel to reality that you probably recall your mechanical engineer friends at school taking "thermals and fluids" classes). The Earth being flat was debunked the first time someone saw a boat come in to pier and is thoroughly uninteresting.
