Science as a whole can only be a group activity, of course - without replication of findings, it isn't really science (just mad science).

But the peer review process as it stands necessarily entails a certain barrier to entry. While we all would like to believe that every deserving idea gets peer review, in practice, most people don't have the time to bother with a submitted paper unless it's coming from an institution they've more or less heard of. How could it be otherwise? There are huge numbers of crackpots out there, and institutional affiliation is an efficient way of filtering them out.

My wife wants to do theoretical physics research (she's qualified: she has a doctorate in theoretical physics) but unless she's affiliated with an institution, it's unlikely she'll get anything published, or so she says. The problem is that unless you're a rock star, affiliation with an institution entails teaching, which in turn translates into all-out effort for roughly 22 hours a day by my own observations of the past semester. The resulting Catch-22 is that my wife can't reasonably do research at all, and that's illogical; she needs no resources but time and access to books and preprints, which she has at home.

So I'd like to see some research done using these new-fangled informational access tools we have now - research that is both sound and eventually makes its way into traditional peer review simply on the basis of its soundness, and not because the institutional affiliation of the researcher makes it plausible. This is one more thing that I think the Internet can do for us, and I'd like to see it happen.

Of course, the romantic in me just likes the idea of the lone mad scientist in his lair discovering room-temperature superconductivity, because that is the twenty-first century I signed up for. Today room-temperature superconductivity, tomorrow super-intelligent lab rats and cheap immortality. It's all good.

You can just read the subjective reports, those are interesting in their own right.
Thanks. Yeah, uploading PII to a something like a porn site seems crazy to me, but the industry seems to make a lot of money via card charges so maybe I am in the minority.

I also want to make clear I was not endorsing the policy outlined in OP. Just curious.
It's really not about several examples of the same thing, but interrogating our intuitions around each one. I at least found I felt differently about different heuristics being replaced by rocks.
We do generally have video-on meetings and I also record videos using it (at least in part). I'd probably buy a BRIO if I didn't have an external webcam but, honestly, I'd probably be overoptimizing given that something like my network is more likely to get in the way.

With Skype, Windows is in the lead, with Mac trailing a ways behind, and Linux even further behind. Though with the reception of the latest Skype version for Mac, maybe it's a good thing that Linux is lagging behind.
"Paul Graham’s programming language Arc, a dialect of Lisp, was built on top of Racket."

Since that statement occurs in a section about Racket languages, I should probably clarify. Arc isn't technically a Racket language—that is, it doesn't use any of Racket's facilities for defining new languages. It compiles to Racket (and so you're all using it right now), but has its own distinct implementation.

Historically, Arc wasn't built on top of Racket. I think pg may have started on Common Lisp, then went to Scheme 48, Mz Scheme, and so on. Probably the most accurate thing to say is that Arc was built in pg's head after years of thinking about Lisp. It doesn't have a particularly close relationship to any of those underlying platforms. Semantically it's closest to Common Lisp, but don't tell pg I said that.
Absolutely. Compare this to effects of positive or negative reviews on Amazon. I say - hire Russian troll if you are on the mass-market with review-based reputation on product descriptions. Imagine you have +100 positive reviews overnight. For a hundred bucks its a bargain!
The story of Jody Sherman, who killed himself when his startup (Ecomom) failed, has stuck with me since it happened, despite not knowing him or the site. It seems rare for it to get to that point but it definitely does happen. I just think we don't hear about it very often because people go quiet or aren't around any more.
If I gave RadioShack my data, it would be because I wanted them to have it. If I wanted some other company to have that, I would have given it to them already.
Drupal's place hasn't really changed much. It's for people who want more flexibility than Wordpress while having more out-of-the-box features than the frameworks you mention.

Yup. Silverlight has some DRM required by the content producers, and Moonlight refuses to implement this.
Hasn't he in fact disobeyed the orders of his superior officers by leaking the cables (which were marked "CONFIDENTIAL")?

There are a few reasons why disobeying such an order would be acceptable, but I doubt the military will take it easy on him unless it his obvious that every bit of info he leaked was directly related to some kind of war crime being carried out by his superiors.
Suppose that the American public only supported the wars because it believed some of the lies that the cables revealed to be false.

If that were the case, then all the collateral damage caused by the wars happened against the will of the American people while at the same time it was done in the name of the American people.

So if Manning believed that to be the case, then he acted heroically. If you don't believe that to be the case, then it's reasonable that you don't consider his actions heroic.

I suppose that if the sort of leak Manning did isn't a good reason to risk life in prison, nothing is.

I really don't think it's the monetization that drove people away. I left because I found the content to be increasingly bland, repetitive, and irrelevant.
What the critics seem to forget is that when these wonderful places were built they were out of reach for most Americans. My grandparents did not have running water or central heating. In the cities most people, especially immigrants, lived in tenements.

After WWII there was pent up saving and pent up demand. People bought cracker box houses because they were cheap and way better than what they had been living in. They bought cars, because they were affordable, enabling urban sprawl.

As a kid, I lived in a farmhouse in Maine with little heat, no plumbing, no running water and cold as hell. I remember my parents drilling a well, putting in a bathroom and heat. What they and others did wasnt pretty, but in the prosperity of the times we joined the middle class.
why did you have the need to replace rabbitmq at all? (I love redis, but I'd expect using something designed specifically for X is better than using something else that also kind of does X)

> 3. Exponent Base (Seen as constant 10)

> In the articles I’ve read I have not ever seen this changed nor was it mentioned that a change could be used, but if you’re designing a special system and perhaps looking for something else to tweak this might be an option.

It can be easily shown that changing the base is equivalent to scaling the exponent, so if you're already scaling the exponent by a semi-arbitrary 1/400 chosen for aesthetic purposes, there really is nothing that is added by discussing the base of the exponent separately.
This is the kind of bad faith hit piece that one would expect from NYT on this subject.
Afaik --privileged just re-enables all the Linux capabitilies in one go (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7.html)

So... None. If you need capabilities, you should add them back individually. Networking-related ones are pretty common (net admin and the raw socket one)
They actually do. Charities often hire external fund raising agencies to try to solicit more donations (essentially call centres phoning up people who've donated before). Return on investment might be 2x spend.

I've had friends work in the charity fundraising sector - its a bit eye opening how much money the big name charities spend on overheads in high cost of living major cities.
Is that actually a bad thing?

Much of the popularity of Python is based upon third party libraries that have been contributed by both individuals and organizations. These are still contributions, and there are many cases where the contributors are paid.

Should Python receive more funding and pay more people to work on the language? Probably, yet it is doubtful that having a large team working on the core language will improve the health of the language.
There are a couple which attempt this. I think nushell works that way. And powershell, though it sacrifices language independence by using .net objects as its structure.

Not really sure why this is getting downvoted - it's kind of an important detail when choosing a build system if you have to do multiplatform deployment.
Thus it is almost surely the case the experts have thought about these questions and have answers.

A great example is nutritional science. It was widely accepted that a diet high in fat was bad for you. If you had stood up and said "I disagree, fat is good for you!" you'd be regarded as a kook.

Look at where we are now with regards to nutrition and fat.

Ours cloudsql-proxies were on running on GKE so they were not "that bad".

Switching to private ip definitely had the largest impact by far on performance.
I don't think that having gotten lucky and bought a home somewhere when it was cheap should entitle you to enjoy living there forever when others are willing to pay more for the same home. Imagine you spent your life eating a certain kind of shellfish, which used to be cheap, but then a foreign country started importing this shellfish in huge quantities and drove the price very high. I don't think you should feel entitled to be able to buy the product for the rest of your life at the cheaper price you were used to.

People who bought may feel more entitled to a stake than renters, but in either case it's necessary to have some kind of incentive (high property tax) to drive out people who don't want to pay the market rate for living somewhere, so that available housing slots end up being given to those people who are willing to pay the most for them.
Quality of her articles - depth, precision, explanation power - rivals those of Martin Gardner, which is admittedly a high bar. I don't know anybody else today coming close.
Exactly. People who are good are always going to be referrals, once they've worked at a few places, their networks are just not going to let them get away. The only times I've found where you are interviewing someone experienced who turns out good is

1) someone coming from a big corporate job where they were undervalued/underutilized

2) someone coming from a different region, different country, where they have no local network
> creating a closure that references a variable outside of its scope is not simple

Well sure, but how often do you need to do that in a web API endpoint handler? In my experience: not often at all. Rust can be hard, but generally isn't for this use case.

> You can make your life a lot easier by wrapping everything you reuse in Rc<> to make it reference counted, but then you're eating into the performance gains that are the initial selling point

Frameworks like Rocket or Actix-web will handle this for you. In my experience it doesn't tend to affect performance that much. Remember: Node is single-threaded. Multi-threaded + atomics + optimised compiled code is still significantly faster.
That's peak, by the way. Typically, solar produces about 20% of that on average, so that would be an average production of about 2 GW.

It's nice if you can soak up a bunch of extra power whenever the sun happens to be shining. If you want to power air conditioners, or charge plug-in hybrid electric cars, solar fits that niche nicely as long as you can build it cheaply enough.
I do not dispute the right of private business to not allow any animal, human, plant, bacteria, archaea or space alien on their private properties. However, these rights are routinely infringed right now, so if you want to stand for them, please stand for them without exceptions. I.e. if the owner is the sole authority in determining who gets into their property, they can refuse anybody for any reason whatsoever, and no regulation or policy can stand in the way, that should be the case and all regulation concerning any such limitations should be removed. That's fine, consistent approach which has my full sympathy.

On the other hand, if you allow exceptions, such as different handling of "public places", even privately owned, if you accept regulation that limits the exclusive authority of the owner to exclude anybody they wish for any reason, then you have to be consistent and have some rules that would guide such regulation, and then what would be your reason to exclude people with (well-behaved) animals accompanying them, not infringing on anybody? "I don't like them, and that's enough" wouldn't cut it anymore - not unless you agree to go all the way. I would prefer the former approach, but it's not the world we live in now, so either we strive for that world, or we go with one we have now, but we can't do both at once.

Also, regardless of that, I think it is important for people to be a bit more accommodating to each other even if nobody forces you to. Let's assume you have full right to kick out every person with a dog out of your place of business. Why should you? Do they make any trouble? Every one of them, always? If not, why would you assume they are troublesome before any sign of trouble appears? Why not instead show some kindness and politeness and give people and dogs a chance to be good? If they don't, you can always kick them out later (ok, on the plane you can't but that's rather exceptional situation, in most situations resolution is very easy).
JWTs purposely contain information in plain text (unencrypted and not stored in a database), however it is in base64 so you don't need to worry about url encoding issues and so it looks like a token.

You could add a prefix to a jwt. That would make it a token that contains a jwt.

I don't think the tiny prefix is what they want to obscure. So it wouldn't go against the design of JWT to add one.

I would do it. I don't see any issues with it.

It would be something like:

BA_<base64>.<base64>.base64

If you wanted to be able to double click to copy and paste, which I don't think is a huge usability improvement, you could replace the . with _, and I think a lot of devs would be able to figure out that it's a representation of a JWT.
I think they were better than expertsexchange at least. It was low quality but it was simple and free to access.
Nausea, vomiting, weakness, frequent urination, kidney stones. It's really hard to get too much Vitamin D from food (doesn't have enough) and sun exposure (the body usually regulates itself well enough) so it's primarily supplements that cause Vitamin D toxicity unless you have other medical issues going on. It's definitely a supplement that's better taken under guidance of a physician who can order labs to monitor serum levels.

EDIT: It's worth noting that it takes a very high and frequent dose (60,000 IU daily, for instance, can cause it which is about 100x the recommended daily allowance of 600 IU).
No, you mentioned things Google didn't implement. That's not the same as making it incompatible. In this case that would be Google adding things to Java, not skipping some.
We don't have to imagine. This very article is about employees who were illegally fired for not kowtowing to the right opinions. These politics do control your job, whether you want them to or not.
You could throw a few ad scripts on them and even make a little money (likely more than the tiny hosting costs for static content).

I agree: Strange choice. But as is the world of large corporations and decision-making.

I trust science will ultimately give us some answers. But it's going to take some time.
Making sure surfaces aren't copied needlessly is actually a rather common optimization, and particularly so on mobile devices where great care is taken that all subsystems can share memory - e.g. the display silicon needs to be able to use textures from the video decoding directly for scanout.

Not doing so escalates quickly - copying a 4k10bpp buffer 60 times per second takes up ~5Gbit of memory bandwidth.
"...and thousands of physics/chemistry students all cried out at once, and then were silenced."
Make your software free to use by individuals and small companies, but require a payment from large companies (with e.g. >$1M revenue).

This way you avoid being pirated too (large companies typically don't pirate).

I'm not quite sure which are camera original or which have single pixel artifacts like that, though. Dr. Neal Krawetz, who runs that blog, would know though. He's an expert in digital image forensics.

I suppose you could just zoom in, count pixels, then try to get timestamps & locations out of the images via JPEGsnoop or similar tools for reading the metadata, but you'd have to contend with however many different cameras they use, etc.

It's fortunate (for Bitcoin) that governments and ISPs generally move at a sloth's pace. If it comes down to an arms race, they can't win more than extremely temporary victories. If they could, they'd have completely stopped filesharing over Bittorrent, IRC, AIM, MSN, Skype, HTTP, email, Usenet, various P2P services like Kazaa and Limewire, ... and so on.

If they start blocking/interfering with the protocol (like Comcast injecting RSTs into suspected torrent connections), you can just encrypt the entire transport layer and randomise the ports. People were configuring their firewalls to drop the falsified RSTs from Comcast.

If they blacklist hostnames, there's a near limitless number of them that can be generated. The client can precalculate a domain and ping it at a given time for instructions the same way botnet clients work. The government can't register/block every possible domain name that will be generated. Another alternative: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_flux There's nothing illegal about having a hostname resolving to an IP.

> Especially if the software is open source, as Bitcoin is, all the knowledge of the inner workings of the protocol is public knowledge

This is also true for GPG, ciphers like AES/Twofish/Serpent, etc. Openness does not necessarily imply weakness.
I think you're overreacting. It's hard to me to imagine that you were somehow slowed in your learning progress by using Windows instead of Ubuntu, MySQL or SQLite instead of Postgres and Vim instead of Emacs.

This is because the first and foremost important thing about learning to program is the desire to do so. The early hackers programmed by directly banging hexadecimal machine code into computers without screens. Were they not programmers? Sure they were. Don't put too much stress on the tools - just program.

That's not correct. The article is indeed saying that 45% of Americans do not pay federal income taxes, or actually make money from filing taxes.
That's wrong because there's real-time systems out there that run threads in priority order. Are you saying that such a system does not have concurrency?
It confuses people because (a) it's not true and (b) it's beside the point.

There are lots of schedulers out there that have a different contract than the one you described ("run threads in any order"). For example, many real-time systems run threads in priority order - you only get preempted if a higher-priority thread wants to run.
Staphylococcus aureus colonizes the upper respiratory tract in one third of individuals. It's frequently found as part of the normal flora, and some of you are more concerned than you really should be.

Yes, many times more antibiotics are used in agriculture than in the health sector, and this offers further evidence that maybe they shouldn't be. However, I'm certainly not going to be altering any of my eating habits after reading this.

IIS 7x truly took things to the next level. Everything about it could be configured via powershell. Admittedly powershell 2.0 CMDLETs were lacking but if one wasn't scared to rollup the sleeves and create few a functions, automating the setup and scaling was a breeze. Including SSL management.
