Thus, I imagine, why djacob's link to HTTPI talks about protocol adapters, rather than expecting the implementations to adhere to the protocols directly. Still, the adapters could come with each protocol-supporting gem, rather than being housed in some third party "interface library." Then we could have something more like this in each class of a gem:

class Mongrel::HttpServer
class HttpServerProtocolAdapter < Gem::ProtocolAdapter
implements 'http-server'
implements 'http-server/with-middleware-support'
...

and the manifests (which would then look more like this:)

{'http-server' => Mongrel::HttpServer::HttpServerProtocolAdapter,
'http-server/with-middleware-support' => Mongrel::HttpServer::HttpServerProtocolAdapter,
...}

would be generated automatically at gem installation by loading the gem and then probing for ProtocolAdapter instances in ObjectSpace.

Of course, if you had a class that matched the protocol exactly, you could just use something like

class Mongrel::HttpServer
supports_protocol 'http-server'
end

and be done with it.

This is all assuming that we don't actually want our protocols to be modules or classes or something else that we have to include in the adapter somehow (because this is Ruby, and we do well without needing IDuck.) Instead, protocols would just be externally specified things, with their name-strings perhaps being the URIs of standards docs. At most, if a Gem::Protocol was a reified type, it would be a unit test suite to determine whether a ProtocolAdapter actually supported its protocol (minimally, via a series of #respond_to?s.)

These substances are significantly more dangerous than hash. They are periodically banned and so there is high churn of new concoctions. People have been smoking hash for thousands of years and it is probably the safest drug out there. But being illegal, it forces people to try out poorly tested substitutes. If you really want a high, better get the illegal stuff, it's safer.
Also to add to my submission, i am aware of the events in the capitol but wanted to know more about everyday life and typical interactions. So far it seems that there really is a great divide even in close-knit groups.

This is very interesting for us europeans i think, since a lot of arguments and political movements spill over. At least it is that way in germany in my experience.

No, and I also would like to find some academical test. Try it -- you can even dual boot hypervisor on/off. It's not a small effect. Around 1h extra one on "almost idle" scenarios.
There is nothing wrong with the protocol, the client software or the server software; the problem is entirely with the OWS server TOS.

In the U.S., my experience with Whatsapp was that I created an account and never used it once to communicate with anyone, then I deleted it.

I've also withdrawn from social media.

The exception for now is HN, because it's more of a forum, even when bad information sometimes instates itself as reality for a large conversation, like a big gathering of fans talking about their team that will inevitably fail to win or perhaps a bad STD.

I learn what others are doing through direct and intentional communication, even if technology is used or if the information is second-hand. I don't text back or call back immediately, which my friends and family forgive, but it sometimes seems to hurt my relationships.

I still worry of dependence on large companies, big data companies gathering more information about me than I know myself, and the potential of out-of-control AIs. However, I attribute these in-part to my own paranoid thinking that use my memories of large company layoffs, privacy concerns raised in the tech community, and mostly fiction.

While I've come to the realization that the act to trying to be happy and successful is the very thing that makes me unhappy, and I just need to exist, maybe becoming better at whatever I'm naturally good at, while being here and now with those I'm with, giving my service to them... I still keep wasting time replying about things that don't matter.
It's a little more nuanced than that. I don't question that WhatsApp is huge, in some countries and social circles, but it's by no means dominating across Europe.

Personally I'm not really sure who's using WhatsApp, I know two or three WhatsApp users. They all use it because they have friends other countries, mostly the middle east.

If RCS actually becomes a thing, then I don't see much of a future for apps like WhatsApp.

Yes, we're absolutely doing code reviews for each PR. Should have mentioned it in the post. Our general policy is to have engineers merge their own PRs, but only after at least 1-2 people have reviewed them (and obviously more for sensitive changes). The dialog that takes place in PRs helps enforce (and sometimes define) our style standards, teach engineers the idioms of a languages they may be new to, and ensure that we're always moving our codebase in the right direction. (They're also a great place to teach people how to write cleaner and less brittle tests!)

It's fairly widely reported;

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/blame-gm-not-toyota-for-nummi-pl...

Peak production at the 370 acre facility on the outskirts of
Silicon Valley topped 400,000 cars and trucks in 2005.

I've been on tours of several plants, include GM's Delta Township plant which at the time was the most automated in the world as well as the factory we're discussing (NUMMI both Pre and Post Tesla ownership).

The thing that makes me skeptical with Tesla is the amount of custom work they need to do. Some of the GM / Toyota plants have higher throughput, but that's because they're largely just assembly buildings. Tesla is custom forming many parts on site, far more than a typical assembly building. It would be hard to scale many of those areas without huge investment.
Yes, there is.

Unlike tens of millions that served their tour silently and never questioned requests they were given, regardless if it meant to protect a hospital building, or machine-gun group of civilians from aboard hovering helicopter, this guy, knowingly he could pay the ultimate penalty of life in jail, decided to go against selfish interests of his superiors and altogether with his heart's gut.

And for taking this stand, he's go my lifetime's respect.

EDIT: since this is getting upvoted heavily, I want to add something:

Imagine that every single soldier is a copy of Bradley Manning. Than when a supervisor breaks the law, they blow the whistle. As a result, you can imagine two things happening: either army would stop existing (doubt that) OR supervisors, colonels and all those little monsters in power would STOPPED breaking the law once for all. Its as simple as that.

Okay, you can say: get down to Earth, this is War, War is always dirty. Sure. So my response is: the last War we been at was World War 2. We have no business WHATSOEVER to be (or ever been) in Iraq, Afganistan, or tens of other places where US soldiers are currently deployed. None! All those "wars" we fighting are NOT in the name of peace or freedom of Americans, living tens of thousands of miles away, here on US soil. The War we are in right now are in most part because there is easy tax-payers money to be grabbed and the Industrial Military Complex do not want to rest on not spending trillions of dollars. That's it!

EDIT 2: next time you say: "oh there is a chance Manning did endanger lives of US citizens". Maybe yes maybe no. Maybe if grandma would have mustache she would've been grandpa. But do yourself a favor: go and watch Youtube helicopter massacre that Manning uncovered. I assure you people you watch ARE beyond any shade of doubt DEAD.
Yep, would be interested to know as well! I can somewhat comfortably use vim via termux, but emacs seems too much in terms of keybindings. Unless you connect external keyboard?
The Verge reported that the F-150 was a RWD model.
It's so interesting how powerful word embeddings (or in this case account embeddings) are. This reminds me a bit of the 538 article[1] about doing math on subreddits - I'd be interested to see what sort of math you could do on instagram account embeddings. What happens when you subtract two celebrities from each other?

Also, I'm curious about the tradeoffs of revealing this information - does knowing this make it easier to game the instagram algorithm? From this article I'd think that having a more narrowly targeted account (for example someone putting selfies on one account and landscape photos on another) might make their embedding more similar to others. Another thought is that maybe someone liking a bunch of things unrelated to their content would make them wrongly appear in certain explore pages.

Can the common cold also be a rhinovirus?
I think something to say about remote-but-local companies. Close enough to travel to a central location every few weeks/month, but far enough to let people live in cheaper, larger housing you wouldn't find within 10 miles of a city office.

Like, look at London. Mega house prices in the city, but they peter out pretty quickly once you cross the M25 and you start hitting semi-rural areas.
If you're that concerned about third party processors, most banks and credit unions provide their customers a way to send money between people fairly simply.

Signal providing this functionality is scope creep.
Even if you could output $100k/month, you'd still be benchmarked against the next guy who could do the same. Maybe if you're capable of heroic acts, e.g. building an Airbnb quality app in 2-3 months, for highly competitive companies like Rocket Internet, or consulting companies.

The other option I see is doing your own thing, writing competitors for existing services. You'd probably need good understanding of products/users, as well as the ability to output several prototypes a day.
Well one policy could be "tax companies with more than x lawyers".
Signal has a lot of red flags.

1. The system is not distributed

2. The server is not open source and there was no notice that open sourcing the server will stop.

3. there is no public roadmap nor a away to make feature requests

And that’s not all by far.

There are tests and there are tests.

Software engineers benefit from having tests that encode invariants they cannot otherwise encode in the type system, so that they have a machine assisted refactoring aid. It's just an extension of writing the code; if you think you know what you want your code to do, you just add more of that

But it's very hard for software engineers to think about what happens outside of that realm, whether because the software encounters edge cases naturally or due to "creative" ways the end users find to (ab)use the software.

Some of those cases can be explored with a fuzzer, some of them are best found with actual human QA testers.

To an extend yes, but how old is your son? At some point children needs to be handed more responsibility (and it will _always_ be before you think they are ready for it), because while they will make mistakes it is better that they make these mistakes while you are there to help them clean up the mess and the mess isn't too big.

But more importantly than that one day they will be old enough that you can no longer set the limits for what they should do, which they will not be able to handle unless they have had their freedom handed to them gradually.
I think a plant for refining weapons grade nuclear material counts as their war machine.

Granted, the rest of their infrastructure sucks, but I don't think their dumb enough to build a plant without power. And they do know how to keep power running. Does anyone actually think the Great Leader lives in some un-lit hovel?
I, for some reason, cannnot fall asleep if I workout at night. I get so pumped up that sleeping becomes impossible. Working out in the morning works the best. I feel energized throughout the day and byt the time bedtime comes around I am wasted.
Yeah, I think you've got it, the multitouch vs pan-and-zoom pretty much made it. Pity Nokia got so close but fudged it.

Given that it was allegedly detected at first by the bimodal distribution of the results (and BTW I've been in some highly competitive environments were the results were bimodal too more often than not, or even more strange, without any cheating possible), and even imagining nobody anonymously posted the disputed study source, it would have been hard to get better results without that detected (whether "that" or not is cheating not even being the question). People could have tried to only slightly increase their results by injecting lot of voluntary faults in known answers, but knowing the right amount would be very difficult...
Thanks a lot I will have to try this. I have started using todo lists and they have seemed to help. I do worry I might be slightly depressed. However, I think this problem is something different because I have not had any problems with meeting people and making new friends recently. Quite the contrary actually. Did you happen to smoke a lot of marijuana before this onset? I really think the intense reflection I do while high led to my conscious mind getting stuck somehow... I am just theorizing though.

Regardless of how "proper" your memory is at age 5, you can still learn things and figure things out. You get better at it with practice.

It's also a well studied fact that younger minds are more impressionable and have great neuroplasticity. People who start something early in life are often much better at things, and not just because of the length of time they've been doing it. It becomes second nature. It fundamentally affects the way they learn to think.

Yes, there are plenty of great programmers and engineers who didn't start so young. Personally though, I started at the age of 9, and it's set me so much ahead of my peers. Don't underestimate the abilities of the young or the value of exploration and learning while young.
This study seemed to deal with people experiencing digestion problems. I wonder if it was the act of drinking extra glasses of water (to swallow the placebos) that helped the situation, rather than the psychology here.

What if there were a way to create some sort of centralized/decentralized identity store... where anyone wanting access to your information would have to request it, you then supply them a 'key' to gain access...like a pgp key... they can then use your data for business purposes that you allow... you can destroy keys at will so you ALWAYS have the means to shut off a business who's abusing your information, or you could drop off the entire grid by basically revoking all keys...

This would apply to images as well with your likeness (ai-made or w/e)...though I'm not sure how you'd enforce that, unless the protocol also did facial reck/search online notifying you of images of you, that you can then force to be taken offline through legal means.

Of course there's the argument of who owns the copyright -- the person in the picture or the photographer even if they took photo w/ or without your permission/knowledge...etc...

I'm not sure how this would work in the wild, and it's just a concept idea... It would be nice though in the case of a true dystopian future to be able to pull yourself off the grid easier than it is today.
Sure, yeah, the democratization of stock exchange "betting" via the internet may have been a factor.
I swear Twix used to be much better. I haven't been meticulously tracking it over the years or anything, but there is a simple logic that if you can cut costs by making something worse, and there's pretty much no higher-quality alternative, it'll probably still sell.

Indeed, it is at the start of the book. It also relies on the assumption that the Lagrangian is invariant up to a total time derivative under Galilean transformations, which leads to `dL/d(v^2)` being a constant (1/2 m). This is, I believe, the most fundamental way to look at it. Otherwise you could ask why the Lagrangian can't have other terms like v^4.
Indeed, the entrance of Uber has made taxi rides a market for lemons. The most pleasant and least avaricious drivers are better off within Uber's higher-accountability system.

This is nothing specific to SF, either. This kind of nonsense is exactly what dysfunctional markets looks like, and it's everywhere, which is why Uber seems such a breath of fresh air to consumers around the globe.

Well, almost everywhere. You know where they don't pull this kind of flimflammery, right? That's right, in Japan, where Uber doesn't even try to replace cab companies, it just provides an easier way to book rides with one:

It's a very old story: But if compare students in Finland with students in the US with ancestors from Finland, then might have something. Similarly compare students in Nigeria with students in the US with ancestors from Nigeria. But do NOT compare all students in the US with all students in Finland.

To heck with Nigeria and Finland. Instead, there is a general result: For some positive integer n of, say, a few dozen, take n relatively homogeneous populations. Give the tests. Take the best, say, 5 populations on that test. Now, for population n + 1, take a 'mixture' of the populations of the n other populations, give the test, and compare with the top 5. Then very likely population n + 1 loses. This is true just by a simple convexity argument that never mentions Finland, Nigeria, or the US but still does explain why the US has a hard time beating the best of the homogeneous countries.

The NYT, the McKinsey study, etc. won't tell you any of this.

I think people think the "Merry Christmas $name" email is not spam (it looks like a message from a friend), so they open and read. "Happy Holidays" is something that only people trying to sell you something say, so you mentally filter that email.

The conversion rate is just a depressing example of how people will buy anything you tell them to. Once you get people to read your email, you'll much more likely to convert. (You get Viagra spam because somebody clicks it and buys.)

This is basically why I give everyone a unique email address, and /dev/null the address after I stop needing it. People like the author of this post try to abuse my attention, and that is not OK with me.
The person doesn't mean homelessness itself is criminal, but as they attest to later, homelessness related crime is. Which is true in Nordic countries too.
Audio/video streams are a completely different problem - lost data is just lost. This article is discussing a very specific problem where no data loss can be tolerated.

The solution described only works when very high bandwidth is available, because it aggressively sends duplicate copies of data until acked, using on average 2-15x more bandwidth and 120x more bandwidth in the worst case (numbers taken directly from the article).

If you happened to have that kind of spare bandwidth available then yes, this is an excellent solution. When do you have high latency, packet loss, and bandwidth overprovisioned by a factor of 15?
Continuous learning is the most difficult one. Keeping track of the latest developments and at the same time expanding your already acquired knowledge is almost impossible. But both are important.
A lot of the non-mainstream PC clones, especially in non-conventional formfactors, were more subtly different than those of major manufacturers like Compaq, and probably lacked the testing required to uncover bugs like this. I'm guessing the BIOS implemented the A20 enable call so it returned success, but all it did was send a command to a nonexistent keyboard controller (especially on a PC laptop, not having an 8042 is a bad idea since the 8042 emulation is usually built-in to the EC and interfacing with it is far easier than requiring a whole USB stack, but I digress...) The OEM bought the BIOS and didn't customise it completely to the particular system's setup.

Things might've been better if the PC had been officially standardised, since AFAIK despite IBM publishing schematics and BIOS source code for everything up to the AT, other companies couldn't make use of that and still had to reverse-engineer the functionality.

I see a lot of people, mostly newcomers, complain about the "legacy" stuff but keep in mind that the strong backwards-compatibility is what made the PC platform as successful as it is. It has its quirks due to evolution, but the relative openness and stability of the design is why I'd still prefer it over some of the other platforms out there e.g. ARM SoCs where everything except the CPU cores vary widely between manufacturers and models. To me, a mostly openly-documented platform is far better than a proprietary one even if the latter is "legacy free".
