Right, it's a tagged union. I mean conceptually. You still end up with the same domain of objects as a union. The tag just tells you which domain you're object is in. (Or which side rather, since the domains can intersect.)
I don't know in what context they could use Geek in 1800.

Um, no. These people were disappeared: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rettig_Report

Apparently her blog was only moved. Inconvenient, yes. Gross human rights violation, no. See also: comparing yourself to Rosa Parks.
Careful. Sony's figures for PSN user count are worldwide, and a large percentage of Sony's market is in Japan alone. The CSN appears to be USA and Canada only.
Indeed the script can be multiple lines without problems.
About threads, I think we'll stay single threaded for scripting as well since otherwise we have troubles, that is, Lua scripts will not be atomic from the point of view of the caller. There is to take care and not write commands that do complex stuff, or to be aware that this commands do complex stuff :) In Redis there is the tendency of doing a simple raw idea and try to make the user aware that it is easy to shot yourself on your foots instead of making it more complex to avoid problems, and it is probably a good idea to follow this path for scripting as well. After all there is always time to make it more complex.
Unlike a modern cipher like AES, XOR is vulnerable to a known-plaintext attack. If your keys are truly random then you're fine, but otherwise you risk exposing enough random output from your RNG that a seed can be found.

Also, weak RNG. Use arc4random. (And /dev/urandom isn't insecure, either.)
No no no--you will add a lot of hairball code if you persist in not UTC.

For the virtual meeting, you just localize the time as they query it--this will make your life vastly simpler when, for example, querying over an interval or what have you.

UTC is the right answer.
I wish people would think through citizen's united instead of just spouting off the 'corporations are people' platitude (convenient no one seems to mention that unions are also people now). Why should a group of persons not have the same rights to speech as a single person? What about it being a group makes it so scary? It's not like the barrier to entry on pooling your money is any higher than protesting is it?

The argument in this piece seems to boil down to "I am afraid of what conservative people with money might say, and I don't want them to be able to use their money to say it." Is there even any evidence that corporations are using their wealth to influence politics through political ads? Because that's what this is really about isn't it? Corporations buying elections through ads. This article is full of vague notions, but there's no real evidence to support the narrative that this is a problem that's even happening.
With a union, he was able to stay at his job and not experience abuse.

Without a union, his likely outcomes were to leave his job, possibly winding up at another abusive organization that experienced no penalties for abusive behaviour, or report his manager to higher-ups (who may have been aware or complicit in the abuse) and suffer retaliation when his manager found out, or report his organization to authorities and likely suffer retaliation from the organization as a whole. None of these are particularly positive outcomes, which is a direct result of a large organization having more power than an individual, unorganized worker.
very true, although the writing style and angle taken towards the included multimedia content could suffice right? rather than just making up words
p 52: "With the freedom implicit in C's use of pointers come certain risks. Much of C's growth over the last decade has been in ways of detecting erroneous uses of pointers without restricting the ability to write efficient code when necessary.
I've used the Chrome webview from KitKat and Lollipop (API 19+). Beware though, for kitkat there's a bug when trying to play sound from local file assets (fixed in lollipop).

It's a great way to code your first apk.

I would love if it was possible to further drill down into topics (expand further in already expanded parts, up to many levels deep). I long ago hoped to one day try and write an explanation of Shor's algorithm in such a format, with many layers of drill-down available, to cater to readers of different level of knowledge. And also with possibility to collapse back the areas, and bookmark a specific expanded state of the text.
Yes. But that's simply in the short term. A good number of these people have reserves that allow them to buy back in.

In the short term, the middle to the bottom lose as well. But since they can't buy back in their piece of the pie falls into the hands of those that can. Like 2007/2008 this will ultimately result in a massive transfer from the Have-less to the Have-more.

For example, small businesses will close and Amazon will pick up that slack. Easily.
If you're going to that much effort, why not re-film it with the new people?
Where's the assumed malice? I didn't say you were malicious, just far removed from reality.
Everyone is wearing hats....
I'll give it a shot -- upthread someone makes the statement It always seems like jerks are better at handling other jerks than non-jerks. Assume for the moment that this is true, then combine it with the ample research revealing that in workplace situations, men are respected for "jerk"-like behavior and women are looked down on for it. Now you have a situation in which being a jerk creates an environment in which women are less likely to succeed. This is a pretty simplistic example, but a good representation of the type of syllogism that can lead you from "abusive/uncivil behavior" to "anti-diversity behavior". Hope this helps!
What grounds would regulators have to tell these private businesses they have to distribute that way? Would it just be the creation of a new law requiring it, and that's that? I'm not sure how those sorts of things work, it's well out of my expertise, but I'm legitimately curious. In that scenario, could the company appeal the law?
Yeah, I had the same question. Here's a video that I looked up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v2q5XR2Mfk
Shouldn't it be /PT2H instead of /P2H?

How was the event discovered?
Our country would not be in this mess if antitrust laws were used to bust up Facebook, Google, and Twitter years ago. Our leaders were all but bribed by the VCs and their lobbyists to look the other way while our social norms and sense of right and wrong were destroyed by malicious algorithms.
Seems like that only works on older versions? (The readme notes "55 or prior")
I get where you are coming from, but my car is already a ~50 kWh lithium ion battery in my garage, so I'm already living with that fire risk. I just wish I could use my car to power my house when there's a power outage, it's a big enough battery to last for a couple days even when it's at half charge.
Because the people charging for their work, would do something else if that wasn't the case, thus there wouldn't exist anything at all.

They are passionate, just not that passionate.

People doing retro games also happen to actually sell them, with nice packaging.

None of the overseas territories are part of Schengen. They rerouted there because another airline (French Bee / Air Caraïbes) doing CDG -> PPT has a base there.

They’re doing it trough Vancouver now that they know the Canadian government won’t cancel their flights at the last minute ;-)

Most global payments are transactions, not cash transfers, and the transacting parties have banking relationships that make those transfers low cost and strictly superior to Bitcoin.
1. You can file your taxes for free in the US. You only have to pay if you want to do so through a tax preparation service or software.

2. It's actually pretty easy to use the electronic forms or just use paper.

3. Tax software is good, and a competent tax preparer is even better.

Why we have a tax system which creates so much work there is an entire set of industries (tech, tax preparers, etc) built around it just to pay the government is kind of loony...
So how many things now you have to keep in your head, when you write and read C++ code?

Also, this would probably not be optimized in Debug builds (-O0, -Od, etc.) which means bigger difference between debug/release, which would make debug useless, if more and more of such things were used in release.

Sorry I work in games, and I've seen the horrors of really slow debug, and fast release... To the point where one of the leads say - who needs debug version - just use printfs, or decode what the debugger meant to say (in release).
Any meals planned for Saturday/Sunday?
I have the same reaction as the author, although for perhaps a slightly different reason. XML has far less syntax than JSON, and strings are the default input. So XML is better when you have large chunks of text want to add structure and meaning to abstract subcomponents, and want it to be human-readable. JSON is better when you need to organize lots of little pieces of data.

Unfortunately, neither use case is typical. Usually it's a mix of both, and it's not worth using both formats so you have to pick just one.
I dunno. Cats are cute and they are murderous bastards.

edit - even Stalin had something of the lovable rogue about him, back when he was a 2-bit gangster and before he commanded the deaths of millions.

It's very unlikely to simply "emerge". Sure it's theoretically possible, but that's very optimistic.

You are presenting a statement of opinion as if it were fact.

My contrary opinion is based on a number of things. Such as the way in which computer composed music working with a database of known music is able to come up with decent compositions. And the fact that I understand the functioning of the human brain to be the interaction of multiple components, each of which has a reasonably specific function.

Now this is not to say that it will happen by magic. But I fully expect AI, when it arrives, to be an emergent behavior that we no more understand in detail than we understand exactly how Google Translate comes to the translations that it comes to. (Yes, we know the algorithms. And we can tweak parameters, run it, and decide whether we think it is doing better. But tracing the logic is a lost cause.)

(Yes, I know the word "intelligent" is vague, but I think you and I can at least agree that we "know it when we see it", and more technical definitions do exist.)

Unfortunately we can't agree on that. Because if we set out goalposts, they will be moved when we arrive. That has been happening ever since Eliza successfully carried on conversations with people, and computers first started beating people at chess.

That's why I said "suspiciously like original thought", because when it arrives, I don't expect people to accept it until after it has become clearly better than people.
It's not quite the same though? I doubt there is a facility somewhere in Ukraine where people are getting paid to peddle government propaganda on the Internet.
Interesting. It still sounds like it is.

Rampant abuse from companies is one reason I started using Mailinator. See the vicious circle here?

If companies didn't use dark patterns (such as subscribing you automatically to newsletters when you purchase something), people wouldn't need to use disposable email addresses.
Hey antirez, both this and 2.4 look really great. Can you talk to some internals of redis-trib? Is it using a cyclical hash on keys approach? What sort of controls are you planning on giving datastore designers?

I was using redis for consuming a multi-gigabyte financial analysis dataset, but eventually moved on because I didn't like using Hiredis on perl or C, so the clustering is very appealing as a way to keep latency down and get bandwidth higher.
I am 32 now. I am inspired to read this. I still need to get over the fact that I am not making anywhere near a FAANG engineer.
I'm sorry, but your name has too many letters. Please enter a shorter name.
We got the joke all by ourselves, thanks.
It's not just women who do that. I always talked to women I met online before meeting them in person. You get a lot more from conversation (like: can the person even hold one!) than you do from email. Sometimes after that talk you decide you don't want to bother!

Just curious: have you ever done that? Met someone in person without talking to them first?
POP3 means that if someone loses their laptop, someone else can access all your internal emails. Or if someone's harddrive dies you no longer have a backup of email.
Terse as I'm in a hurry, but wanted to offer some thoughts.

* Finish your degree, but be aware it's probably just a meal ticket.

* Adopt a philosophy of lifelong learning.

* Setting goals is good, but don't fixate on the number such that you miss an opportunity.

* Show your projects to your friends in the second group; someone will surprise you.

* Do your homework or hack your side projects at Jelly or a similar co-working group.

* Unless your project is very small, don't raze it, iterate it. This more or less applies equally to code and business (pivot).

* As you grow in confidence, show people from the first group your projects; someone will surprise you.

* Learn a new language about once a year. Be sure it's sufficiently different from the last one, i.e. C family one year, ML family the next etc.

* Read news.yc and make a note of the interesting tech people here are using. Read up on it.

* Don't read too much news.yc.

"Gordon's great insight was to design a program which allowed you to specify in advance what decision you wished it to reach, and only then to give it all the facts. The program's task, which it was able to accomplish with consummate ease, was simply to construct a plausible series of logical-sounding steps to connect the premises with the conclusion. [...] The entire project was bought up, lock, stock and barrel, by the Pentagon." -- Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently's Holisitic Detective Agency.

Most of these logo's aren't bad, most of them are ugly.

A logo is a 'word' to define a single 'entity'. So the bad logo's in that list are the ones that define more than one 'entity'.

But ugliness doesn't define a bad logo.
"According to projections ... the yearly median world income will increase from 5,000 to 27,500 by the end of this year, with the median income for American households increasing from 30,500 to 167,000."

Yeah, sure. And the moon is made of green cheese, it is good poker strategy to draw into an inside straight, and financial instruments aggregating mortgages are totally safe.
Yes, but like in Lisp, your Haskell code looks usually better without trailing parens.
For "someone who was once a respectable physicist", yes.

Especially to the extent he's putting resources into this instead of Mathematica.

(Note: the above is from the author's (and others) point of view; I've not read the book and have no first hand opinion on it or Wolfram, besides the law-suit happy thing and such, e.g. I don't use Wolfram Alpha because they own whatever is the output of it, I don't and am restricted in how I can use it.)
> I'm surprised MacKay said this, as it's misleading to compare heat energy (the heat content of a liquid fuel) with electric. That "five times better" figure basically comes from shifting the combustion of fossil fuel (and its thermodynamic losses) from the car to the power plant -- it's an artifact of the definition.

Yes, that may be a bit surprising, considering that he's very explicit about that topic in the chapter on heating houses. There he mentions that you can get >100% efficiency by burning gas to make electricity in the power plants, and then driving heat pumps in your home.
Sorry, but that is a big strawman. He never said "taking a seat is the definition of theft of services", he was replying to what made both of your examples theft of services. The difference is obvious and you know it.

Cable theft should probably not be called theft, because it is a combination of trespassing (to get the cable hooked up) and copyright infringement. Possibly, but I don't know the tech that well, it costs more to push the signal to more endpoints, which actually does work into theft of service then...
"At this point, I don't think there's a way for the iphone to win against android."

Winning and losing could be defined by a variety of metrics (app sales, cross-marketing success of other devices, content-sales, etc.), but surely Apple could take a large step towards expanding their presence by opening up their devices to every carrier. Make the iPhone available on Verizon, Sprint, TMobile, and AT&T ... and commoditize the price of the handset and I think you'll see a renewed fight for the "winner".
It was entertaining and I found some of the clever ways he described syntax useful for remembering, i.e. the pipes form a chute which slides the variable into the block.

It's not. They're similar games in which they both depend on rhythm, but beat saber more so (You lose if you're off rhythm).
very cool :) I started on IRC in 91/2 ish, the whole thing felt quite incredible, given I'm in New Zealand and suddenly had "all" the people of the world to talk to... quite odd that over time, except for special interest group and direct connections to foreign friends, people have a tendency to chat to other locals, long lost are those times of the internet being awe inspiring, especially I remember when CU-SeeMe came on the scene, it was amazing!
Note that there is no common law marriage in California.

The question of whether this dude's property rights do or ought to trump public access to the beach is a detailed point of law, and, I mean, clearly is not as black and white as some posters are making out (neither side trivially prevailed in a summary judgment through the courts). But this subthread is not whether the case was decided correctly on its merits, but whether people who think that Khosla should be able to fence access to the beach through his property are deluded idiots who wrongly imagine that they will someday own beaches themselves, and are agitating for this particular wholly imaginary self-interest, or whether they might have other reasons to believe as they do.
What would you do with your career if you could do anything you wanted? It's hard to give advice without a sense of what you'd rather be doing.

For whatever it's worth, I'm going through a similar dilemma. My compensation is high, but I don't feel fulfilled by the work and there are other things I'd rather do for less money. Unlike you I'm in a startup and leaving would really mess things up for them, so I'm holding out.

"Civilians might not like it, or even understand" is not an attempt to exclude civilians from the conversation, it's just an observation that civilians are unlikely to understand the complexities of the justice system internal to the armed forces. I'm a civilian, but I understand that joining the military means you are legally subject to additional laws and codes which are enforced completely by and within the armed forces.

It must be possible to understand that what Manning did was both the right thing to do and a clear violation of the armed forces code he agreed to uphold. Unlike civilian law, the armed forces must place a premium on obedience. People volunteer for and agree to these rules, so the outrage isn't as warranted.

It may depends on laws in your area also. I see people in CA defend this because they have laws that allow "moonlighting". Not all places are like this. I'll admit that I no very little law. That's why a lawyer came in to explain the contract to us. He basically said don't sign it if you want to continue OSS projects.
We get that the NSA and PRISM is a big deal. But not every single thread that has anything to do with technology or the internet needs to include a reference to it. See... the Nazis were a big deal back then but we don't want every thread to bring that up. ;)

I agree flash/flex is a great platform to develop on. From the language, to the IDE, to the API. It's like a strongly typed javascript with XAML done right. You can create a great looking app that shares the same code base between the web, iPhone and Android.
> no, the soldiers in the helicopter should not be tried

Oh, I'm sure they won't be. No doubt whatever actions they took are entirely justifiable under whatever legal framework has been whipped up to cover it. Not like there's going to be Nuremberg trials for Iraq.

But at the end of the day, the video shows american soldiers in billion-dollar helicopters calmly killing innocent people in a foreign country they have no real reason to be in. That upsets people. And you can quote as many legal justifications as you want but none of that changes the profound injustice, and rock bottom morality, of what happened that day.

TL;DR: if the outcome of your legal process is profound injustice and innocent people killed without reason or consequence, your legal process sucks.
