Worth taking a look at the unicode sentence segmentation algorithm rules: http://unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Sentence_Boundaries

Also at the CLDR sentence break supressions: http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/tags/release-27-0-1/com...

If your rules treat an edge case that the above don't it'd probably be worth trying to suggest improvements to the unicode rules or the locale-specific ones.
Not having heroin and clean needles in the office kitchen is akin to having to wash your own beer glass. It is time to end this ridiculous double standard.

> I submit that you will always interface with people who are not purely technical, no matter how technical your role.

This is provably false though, I've worked in jobs where entire large teams never talked to non-technical people.

What you maybe meant is that you always talk to people less technical than you, which is true, but that is a very different statement. For example, when I worked on developer tooling at Google the stakeholders were all developers, the director was a developer, the directors for the orgs we worked with were developers, the product managers were former developers etc. There was just no non-technical people in sight. But you still need to talk to people who are less technical than you, that is still true, but it isn't true that all jobs needs to be able to talk to non-technical people.

I think many misses all the people who work in the background because you don't see or talk to them, but they still exist.
IMHO this is doing completely the opposite of the intended effect, because the concept is focused only on pleasing the content consumers, but it completely misses the point of what the content creators need and want out of it. And without content creators you have nothing.

The influencers are the ones who post in regular periods because it's a job for them, while ordinary people post whenever they find something interesting to say/share because their motivation is purely emotional - they're looking to channel their MOMENTARY excitement or frustrations about something. It has to happen immediately or it will not happen. Limiting them to a single post per week kinda kills all the fun, because you can't share what you feel when you feel it. System forces you to postpone the reaction until the next weekend, which means it breaks this emotional cycle and the reward of venting online. This would certainly make for a higher quality of reactions, but frankly what would be the motivation for me to sit on some thoughts for a whole week and then login to this service to post a single post, and then again be forced to wait a whole week for the next chance to say something? I can see myself doing something like that only if there's some personal gain in it, so IMHO in a long-term only influencers and self-promoters would be motivated to participate.
What about authoring tools? Part of what made flash popular was the photoshop effect.
Cognitive dissonance. Believed i didn't have it, i was wrong
Very deep passage here, thank you: "I asked the other day on Twitter if anyone could come up with a comparable financial asset whose demand is completely artificially generated by narrative. Derivative contracts don’t qualify because I have yet to see a product where if we unwind the stack of underlying we don’t reach some real commodity, currency, equity, or benchmark which is economic in nature. The closest comparable people came up with is the historical practice where the Catholic church in the Middle Ages used to financialize penances for sins into products called indulgences as a means to fund the church’s endeavors. This is indeed an example of a purely-narrative-driven financial asset whose value is purely derived from the Christian faith, albeit a pathological and exploitative reading. If crypto assets have comparable financial products it is that of indulgences, both are purely narrative-driven fundamental-less financial assets that can be created out of thin air and whose market value is purely a function of sign value and fealty to an ideology. The only difference is that crypto assets have a digital secondary market where these neo-indulgences can float and be traded."

Your leverage is something like, 'Everything someone wants that they think you can give them, or take from them, for which they think they have no acceptable, (in terms of their culture,) alternatives that aren't more costly than whatever you'd impose on them in return.'

There's also an aspect of norms to it - most commonly in terms of consistency because people generally want to appear reasonable.

Anyway, if you've already got a job, their position looks worse in that respect since you need them less. Though that doesn't necessarily give you any more leverage in terms of extracting concessions from them since your job doesn't necessarily make you a more desirable employee.

Though, for some reason, companies seem to hang themselves in that regard - placing a great emphasis on whether you're unemployed, (which, personally, I've never found to be a great predictor.) So, while it's not an 'of necessity' thing, it probably does convert into some leverage on your part for a lot of potential jobs.

It is, in a round about way, why it's generally better to try to bargain about wages after you've got some sort of buy-in established on their side. Since you'll have the greatest leverage once they've decided they want you.

Things that you can point to that you can quantify, that's generally a good source of leverage - especially if you're a contractor. Anything I do that I can hang any sort of number on, I write down to use in interviews - not all of it goes onto my CV.
and if they are going to rely on $0 to get them 10,000,000 users daily I'm not sure they will be making sense by putting the product out in the first place
I'm surprised that he'd still be making ideological bets like this at his age. Diversification could be his friend.
Anonimity is a basic human right that one should be free to exercise at any time. Without it, those in power or those crazies out there that have nothing better can easily find something to attack those they don't like. This is not the providence of "something to hide" but that people should be secure with certainty against all forms of intrusion that lacks probable cause.

Anonymity is difficult for naïve people to understand: that what you say, online or offline, can at any point in the future (potentially indefinitely) may arbitrarily be used against you in familial, legal, political, business, personal, romantic or any other context. This amounts to individuals unwittingly manufacturing ammunition and handing it to their enemies.
"It took 40 minutes to catch up to the blockchain before he headed over to the cafe. And now we have to wait a few more minutes for the laptop to synch up again on the wireless network at the cafe."

Sounds like a great way to spend money...
This sort of reminded me of the old adage about people who "aren't good at tests." "Oh, I see. You're not dumb, you're just not very good at the part where we find out what you know." Software development is already full of anti-social and/or introverted people. I know, I'm one of them. If you're tipping off my "too much anxiety" scale then you're really up there.
Of course - But you wouldn't see a 1:20 spread between the low and high end of the scale within the same country. Not in "The West" anyway.

I suppose it just says something about how diverse a country India is. It still baffles me a bit though.
Why would you even want to BadExit his nodes? Using Tor you're vulnerable anyway. Any exit node can snoop on your traffic or even change it.

Enumerating some bad nodes does not substantially improve this. The above can only be prevented by using something like SSL plus a trusted certificate on top of Tor.
Just saying, when everything seems 'easy' and you're making money without really trying, I've felt low at the points when I've experienced that. I think it's completely natural to feel depressed when life doesn't feel like a challenge. It seems to be common amongst autobiographies I've read also.
Maybe she's just using an old version. I've seen quite a bit of medical equipment the last couple of months (pregnant wife), in a well-funded academic hospital, and most of that is top notch. The solo practitioners don't have money to upgrade every couple of years.
I thought it was the PA Semi guys that all quit (because they didn't get much of a cut from the sale), formed their own company and then got bought by Google?

First story I found (not very high quality journalism, but you get the drift):

It will be time to get 'worried' when we see Chinese approaching the top of a chart which adds up not just users' first langauges, but additional languages also.

I would imagine the common language measure is far more significant than first language alone. That's what's going to drive language choice for content, and content is what I'm interested in as a user.

I can see a separate, more insular net of Chinese content developing, given the mass of Chinese speakers. I just don't see it supplanting the general, English net.
So much name calling and playground idiocy. Just looking at a sample of the tweets made my head hurt.

Surely most of us don't use Tor because

1. It's slow as hell
2. We're not doing anything illegal or trying to get past
censorship
It's an interesting question. If Project Vigilant had compromised Tor, I'd expect there to be quite a few pedophiles who had used it to share cp getting busted. I'm not aware of any such incidents, let alone many. I imagine that the government wouldn't want to give away that they had it compromised, and so would simply use the information to compose a list of people to watch for slip ups, but one would expect to see a rise in the number of arrests, which would likely get at least some play in the MSM.

Conversely, if the NSA had compromised it one would expect to see no outward signs, as they a) don't care about pedophiles, b) would claim "national security" to hide the means of tracking terror suspects from the public's eye, and c) likely wouldn't tell anyone when they did apprehend someone.

I think it's probably pretty likely that the NSA is running a few nodes, but that's the risk you take wit something like Tor, just as bittorrent seeders risk riaa proxies downloading from them.
Hidden mid-post: Note: for those wondering how these were chosen, I used related links on Alexa to find some big sites

Suuuure :)
I'm pretty sure you can take out personals ads in most newspapers. Craigslist is receiving undue heat for something that has been going on for a long while.

Requiring identification and moderator verification is something no newspaper and potentially no other website is going to do.
I'm still using my G1 and when I first had it the battery life was terrible to point of me taking it back to the shop to demand another phone. The shop upgraded the software and it has been more reasonable since then. I had one of the first G1's in 2008, so there were still enormous battery issues on new phones even after the iP.
Here's my question - what happened to your stock grant?
"Uncovering new facts": yes, that's reporting. We need that.

But there are actually too many facts. People can't read all the facts. We also need "analysis" - putting the facts in perspective, deciding which ones are important, and why. But, and here's where the press has failed spectacularly, we need that analysis to be unbiased, not pushing an agenda, but actually letting the data drive the narrative.
> “I think from a software engineering perspective, it’s probably fair to say that this is the largest and most sophisticated attack the world has ever seen,” Smith said.

The word “seen” is doing a lot of work there.

(Think, probably, and fair, are doing some too.)
The headline is "most sophisticated ever" not "totally boring". SolarWinds can both be a very interesting thing and the headline can also be hyperbole.
People owning their own money outside of autocratic state control is now a bad thing?
Indeed, I just think general relativity would never have been discovered had einstein not questioned settled science. In other words, if einstein assumed "the earth doesn't accelerate upward, the apple accelerates downward! The science is settled!", we would have never been enlightened by his paradigm shift.
In marcel:

M 0.12.7 jao@cheese ~$ import datetime datetime
M 0.12.7 jao@cheese ~$ ls | select (f: f.mtime > datetime(2021, 1, 1).timestamp()) | grep py
.marcel.py
.python_history

ls is builtin (and has -la behavior by default), select is provided by marcel, and grep is from the host OS. Note that the python function datetime.datetime is imported so that it can be used in the select predicate.
And the massive trails on the ships! What purpose does that serve other than to mislead?
Yes they are working on a redesign (logo, graphic chart...) I guess they are trying things out.
It will mature before the Julia ecosystem mature so the value proposition of Julia is out weighted by it's lack of ecosystem.
Had they transparant interoperability with Python like Kotlin is for Java, I would consider it.
They could at least rewrite their vm to use the truffle framework from graalvm so that they would become interoperable with Python on graal which in a few years will mature.
Looking at your website this seems well done.

> require device with iOS 14.1 or later

This means an iPhone 6S or newer. Not often an unused device, I think ;-) I have a 6 that I use for tests, but otherwise I could get good money even for that one.
ZeroHedge, it’s crazy but in a balanced way (as long as it’s “anti-???”). And in contrast to NYT and other “reputable media” it doesn’t mislead you into thinking it’s not mostly fake news. Then I make my own opinions...
PowerShell works with Linux...
> well Google's using all three in different ways...

So that justifies giving them a seat at the board of directors and not just a sponsorship?

Apple and Facebook both use Rust but I don't see anything about them being on the board (at least Facebook for now), the least I expect is sponsorship.
I would really like a Sphinx theme that is as clean as the theme of these docs. Most of the Sphinx themes are really kinda cluttered and not neat.

It's a norm in various desktop environments. KDE Plasma 5 here, for example.
> There's no way cryptography and peer-to-peer consensus protocols will provide verification for goods and services.

Why wouldn't reputation help with this problem? users will have to start small to develop their reputation, but doing so will allow users more trust.

There are ways of doing things that don't involve guns - and that's ultimately what government relies on.
Those statistics mean little outside of cohorts. I would wager to guess the murder rate for the class of people who visit HackerNews is 1 per 10,000,000. Being randomly murdered is not a rational fear in America.
But the very first thought is "wow, it's exactly the same look as Sublime Text", not JetBrains product, not Eclipse, not even Visual Studio, so they definitely were completely inspired by Sublime in particular.
I guess it is; but you made it. I say, people need to know they have backup; then they will exert themselves to the utmost.
Its quite difficult to live "very well" in NYC on $2000/month. It was several years ago when I lived there, worse now. Where exactly in NYC do you live? In Staten Island, which is pretty far from Manhattan, it was more than $800 for a decent 1 bedroom apartment in 2001. The was just a normal apartment, not a big one or anything.

So that leaves around $1000 for everything else and any savings.. which means I think you are exaggerating when you say you live very well.
Due to the nature of the preferential binding, the 3/6 has to be 1-1 or greater to do >any< good, and since walnuts have a 0.24 : 1 ratio in favour of omega-6s, unfortunately, you wont getting any benefits of omega-3s from walnuts.

Apart from algae sources, the alternatives are a couple of pints of flax seed every night, or going without so many things that you run risk of malnutrition. So, nuts/seeds aren't a solution.
Hey PaulHoule, no you can't at the moment. Clearspace is a tool for creating an actual resume and using it to get hired. We see LinkedIn as simply a social network..
Google groups was based on Google acquiring DejaNews and building a usenet archive and interface on top of that - mailing lists are a later addition. The usenet interface was (and I guess still is?) terribly broken, making it a pain for other usenet users to deal with posts from google groups users, because it simply works in a way that hinders interoperability with the rest of usenet.

(And while at it: The mailing list feature is also quite defective, obviously built by people who don't really have a clue how email works.)
I've never really thought about it before but PHP has some very similar metaprogramming features.

For starters, the incredibly dangerous runkit extension (like importing Objective-C's runtime).

There's also the Reflection API, which provides introspection and is quite widely used.

PHP also has magic methods, such as __call(), which give the ability to handle calling a method that doesn't exist.

As others have mentioned about Objective-C, these are all nice tools to know about and understand, however using them is often a code smell and can lead to unmaintainable code.

PHP doesn't have anything like categories, which is a shame because they look really useful in cases (as long as you don't mind violating the SRP a little). PHP has traits, which are more similar to mixins in ruby than categories in Objective-C.

Oh, PHP also has eval().
I went to school in a very cold place, and this was a problem. Gloves didn't do squat. Sometimes I got the feeling that they made my hands colder.

I programmed under the blanket.

If that's not an option, you could (god forbid) exercise strenuously (do 50 jumping jacks), after which you would be very warm for several minutes. :D

There are those hand warmer things that you can get at any gas station. You shake them and they're hot for hours. You could put one in each glove...
Yes, but it implies the user anticipating the use case...
Would you download an app which talks you through fixing a car engine before you actually needed it, for example?
The problem isn't fragmentation - the problem is that Android doesn't do DRM.

> Technical encloses design?

By "design" at Apple, they mean "how the product work" — I think Jonathan Ive is to credit for that sentence. And Jonathan Ive is an industrial designer: he's not just here to make things look cute, he's there to make sure a product works well and is enjoyable to use.

In a start-up, especially a software one, "how the product work" is responsibility of the developer(s).
i would recommend you focus on ignoring fundamental data and focus purely on statistical analyses, thereby using price, volume, econometrics on price data and probability theory to extract profits from the markets.

This is terrible advice. I know, I tried.
The SEC has a new XML-like data system for financial information called XBRL: http://xbrl.sec.gov/

Not all companies are required to report in this format at this time but I believe over the next year most Fortune 500 companies will be required to provide their data in this format.
Not sure what the wage scale is in your country. In the US, you can make $400 by working for something like McDonalds for 40 hours.
Depends upon what the device market breakdown among your potential customers..

Symbian-everything before ^3 devices not fully html5
WM-everything before WM7 not fully html5
BB-everything past 4.4 is almost full html5
Android- 2.1 and beyond is full html5
iPhone iOS 4 is full html5

I would start examining frameworks such as PhoneGap, QuickConnect, etc to see which covers the best as far as html5.

Of course this depends upon whether you need to access native device features as at the moment the un-spec HTML5 through webkit only has camera, audio, geolocation, sms.
Magic is fascinating. Theres a magician that is in the first season on his tv show called Michael Carbonaro. The show is called the Carbonaro Effect. Basically, he sets up scenarios and goes on to fool people using magic. My favorite scenario that I saw was when he was showing people how to rebean ground coffee beans and the lady he was showing it to said, "Yeah I know how this works. I used to run a coffee shop."
not really an answer either
Jeez, what a mess.

I'm a magician, and there are many extremely interesting parts about human psychology that relate to lessons you learn. This isn't one of them.

This is a fine fluff piece about someone's experience watching a magician (and not a particularly good one from the tale). Nothing wrong with enjoying the story, but it doesn't reveal anything particularly interesting.

The psychology of the spectator is the most fascinating part of magic to me. I'm not sure how it would relate to "diplomacy, politics, finance and everyday life."

I know I use the same psychology in social situations, and public speaking that I do in magic, at times. It's hard to generalize because magic is an amazing field of a ton of areas.

I want to tell you what it is, why I use it, and details about it because it's a passionate hobby of mine, but magic is also the only field I've ever known where you aren't allowed to share what you do.

You build up a tremendous amount of skill, and then hide it. Guitarists show you what they do, amazing. Artists, Actors, Jugglers, Comedians..

Magicians are the only one where success is hiding your skill.
Slightly warranted. It seems like there is some time-pressure (prosecutors confiscating files after scanning) that means any time taken away from archiving all this could lead to some things being hidden from public view if the prosecution suddenly decides to confiscate all the files.

It wasn't phrased particularly nicely, but it's got some reasoning behind it I think?
The thing with KDB is almost all uses of it are in memory deployments. It isn't hard to make something that has little persistence or relegates persistence to a 2nd class citizen to run quickly.
I have a feeling he thinks dev stands for in development (i.e. in progress) packages. It actually means the libraries for linking to a packages, i.e. using the package when you are developing something.
