Funny you should say that.. We (my former classmate and I) built a prototype for that a year ago, but life happened and I never got around to making it into a product. If anyone entrepreneurial is interested in solving that problem (especially for blind people!), I'd love to make it happen. :)
This is a pretty clear example of someone not even having a basic grasp of how a network functions, yet making a big inflammatory website about it anyway.
You have to do what’s best for you.

My only advice is to be very careful with any termination agreement you are asked to sign, ideally have it reviewed by a lawyer.
I don't understand what you are trying to get at. I merely stated that the immutability contract for concurrent access at the language level is not violated when the underlying GC mutes the memory. "Stop the world" is the simple technique to ensure that consistency. Things at lower level change/mute all the times. Virtual memory makes memories appear to to be there but really aren't. Your object might got swapped out and brought back in underneath you. But all those changes at lower levels don't change the contract at higher level.

If your problem is with pauses during GC, well guess what computers pause all the times. Whenever you move your mouse or type on the keyboard, they generate interrupts that pause the whole CPU and it has to handle them. Those pauses don't seem to be a problem. If the small pauses in GC are acceptable in general usage, why not use them?

If you want hard guarantee, that's what realtime system is for.
They've explained how it works from the beginning.
As much as I like the command line, I couldn't help noticing from the first 10 or so entries[1] that the "stop" text consists of one of:

1. Drag and Drop

2. Right clicking

3. Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V

So these 3-5 things do everything in the list in a GUI, and instead the author wants us to learn 35 different command/syntax combinations?

As an aside, I'd like to write an article saying "You Don't Need Github To Write an Article". If you insist on using Github for that purpose, at least do it properly with a static site generator.

[1] Did not bother with the rest.
There was an interesting reality show called “Airport” I think. 9/11 put an end to that.
Cirruxcache [1] recently added the same capabilities. It's open-source and piggy-backs on Google App Engine - double awesome.

I think its overused, because its exactly that type of depression they tried put on me.

When in reality I was lonely, didn't have much opportunity to socialise etc.

It was only fixed when I got out that situation, basically by chance by getting a introduction into an accepting social circle. I am now very happy.

The highest sucide rates are basically in young men, basically because how society treats them. I don't think its because young men are more prone to chemical imbalances, compared to women or older people. Its because its that stage in life, when men are literally lonely because of the transition from college to work and you can end up isolated and alone.
Similar advice by Paul Halmos on reading maths:
"Don't just read it; fight it! Ask your own questions, look for your own examples, discover your own proofs. Is the hypothesis necessary? Is the converse true? What happens in the classical special case? What about the degenerate cases? Where does the proof use the hypothesis?"
If I never saw a notification-bar ad, I would not have a problem. The first time though -- the app gets uninstalled and gets a bad review.
I think it's more like getting upset with your cable provider when their service goes down leaving you stranded with no internet. Arguably, it's your fault that you don't have any internet, you could have had redundant internet access between cable and DSL and you have no one else to blame for you decision to pay for only one.
This should be clarified as I would like to invest on the WP7 platform due to Nokia being pushing it on their upcoming mobile phones. I was expecting them to have some success if they didn't change anything at all on WP7 but this makes me think otherwise...
My take on this- how much can they really modify here and make sure they don't break compatibility with the 3rd party apps? If things were not so dire that they needed to dump a platform they have years invested in, is it really smart(arrogant?) to think that the OS that has actually shipped and seems to be pretty good is not good enough for them?
I read an article by a guy talking about stupid C tricks. One of them was to 'mangle' raw pointers into an index before passing them. And then de-magle them to get back a raw pointer. Advantages are you can pass meta data with the 'pointer'. Which also allows you to invalidate a pointer. The pointer can't be dereferenced. The enclosed variables/data isn't accessible and cannot be modified by the target.

For callbacks the overhead likely isn't significant.
Right that’s what I figured you were using, thanks for confirming!
It's literally flicking a switch on your repository.

That's technically true if you believe "open source" is just about having the right text file in a repo, but there's much more to it if you want to consider the ethics, responsibilities, and legal ramifications of how you choose to license your project.

There is absolutely nothing stopping someone creating an open source project and exploiting a market opportunity at the same time. The perception that "open source === done for altruistic reasons" is one of the most common misconceptions about OSS, and really should be changed.
I stopped eating meat long enough ago that I've lost the taste for it and I'm aware of how dirty factory farms and industrial slaughterhouses are so this does gross me out a bit. Would it bother you to eat food that was cooked on a grill that was also used to barbecue dogs? That's how some vegans feel about this.

But like I said I think getting some meat alternatives in front of the general public is important enough that I'll live with it.
He most likely found out about it with the news that the foundation is moving overseas. Maybe lawmakers will get the message eventually?
Food is an area where most people have strong personal preferences. It may not be entirely consistent or logical. It is based on taste, both physical and emotional. Why should we expect vegans to be any different?
My point is that this would then be just a bigger electron.
Well, maybe, but I have showdead on and specifically saw your comment under pinkfoot's, so I don't think your thread got ultra-killed or whatever. FWIW, I also had to open a collapsed-by-default thread.
One more reason to reconsider the design of DNSSEC and take it back to the drawing board, since it has virtually no meaningful deployment today anyways, and is already badly flawed.

Developer here. When writing, I was not satisfied with existing grammar checkers (Grammarly, LanguageTool). What I really wanted was better wording for what I wanted to say. My NLP experiments turned into a working product that I now use myself. I am looking for ways to easily monetize. Currently, I'm thinking about a prepaid solution instead of a monthly subscription. You would pay per character until your paid amount is used up.
Any other ideas?

Appreciate any feedback
We've been using Nextcloud in my home for the better part of a year now, almost completely problem free. I even have auto-updates via watchtower. We have 136 GB of data on it (just checked now). Not sure where that lies compared to your data. It is running on a fairly beefy box though, not a rPi. Only issues so far have been needing to set up cron, which took about 5 minutes doing it the "easy" way (host runs a docker command in it's crontab). Collabora was super annoying to set up, but that was a one-time cost.
Same here - today it's all React/Typescript with build steps for me. However I still get Ctrl/Cmd-S / see it right away of course.
Starting from roughly zero, I'd recommend this page and its neighbours:

Haha. Mythical indeed. But more importantly, they are impersonal. In a collaborative setting, they are simply not conducive enough.
Congratulations, sounds indeed like a good working environment.
just use k3s + (restic + velero [backup]) it's soo much easier you can basically install everything with the same tooling and update everything with the same tooling. if something breaks, bam you can just restore the whole cluster with velero (including local volumes)
Cryptocoins (like MobCoin) are a non-fungible token for facilitating payments. Usually the other companies you mention offer a useful/unique value that is not just being a forced middle-man.
Whoa, seriously? I didn't realize Wine for OS X was real enough to be usable for anything, let alone be admitted to the app store and make it to the top. That's pretty awesome.

Although every time I go "I didn't realize X on Y worked", it seems like games are the rationale, and not very surprisingly, since they exercise a relatively small part of the API surface apart from OpenGL. (Mono, some HTML 5 things as mobile apps, and Humble Bundle's asm.js collection all come to mind.)

Can OS X take a cue from iOS and require a special Apple-signed entitlement to do this (unless root overrides it in a config file), or is it not worth the trouble?

Also, does Wine actually require this in general? My understanding was that Wine needed this for legacy Windows apps that themselves map the zero page, but recent-ish apps designed for XP or later shouldn't do that, right?
> It is true that many sports would have to change in fundamental ways to allow women and men to compete together at the highest level. That isn't really an excuse, though, is it?

A very good point. But on the other hand, entrenched fields of endeavor are hard to change regardless of the social issues involved. Business, politics, and software development are fields where women always have had the physical ability to compete equally, but change is very, very slow.
OSS branding dates to around 1998, ~17yrs old. The GNU Manifesto was published in 1983, the free software movement is ~32 years old.

Exactly, so the player can be modeled as an index attached to several database records. You end up doing a geo-box select (see earlier posting here about why geo information data bases are hard), an inventory select, an equipment select, and an attributes select by player-id. The linkage is (player-id, geo) -> key for 'world' based databases, (player-id) -> key for 'player specific' databases. When you go to do an action you combine the action mechanics (pick up -> delete from world, add to inventory), (attack -> (roll) -> edit other attributes of monsters/players near by), (defend (roll) -> edit player attributes)) and (drop -> delete from inventory, add to world). Where at 'n' frames per second you need to do a select for a given view point to identify what the rendering engine needs to "show".

Clearly doing this with ascii characters on a terminal screen is much easier than trying to render 3D avatars in the real world but the number of database transactions per second becomes massive. If we posit that there are 1,000 players visible to the current player, and just the player / world select is a single transaction, then at 30 fps, that is 60,000 or so queries per second, you throw actions between players, and between multiple players (area of effect attacks) and add another 2,000 monsters and you're easily over 250,000 transactions per second.

Since FoundationDB was talking millions of transactions per second with full ACID it seemed like it would be a useful back end for this. Or put another way, you could contemplate building this and see if their product was actually able to keep up at this rate. And they asserted this was on modest hardware (like 32 nodes).

So yes, I was looking forward to the interesting places that investigation would lead and the things I could learn.
washingtonpost.com.com? This is probably not real.
I think this is more commonly called "cargo cult programming", defined by Wikipedia[1] as: "the ritual inclusion of code or program structures that serve no real purpose".

Re automated lights and the garage door. I have a SmartThings hub and a number of associated motion sensors and z-wave power outlets. I also have young kids so am often up at odd hours. Being able to automate turning on and off certain lights based upon motion is fantastic when you are stumbling around a house half asleep. I've also got my garage door hooked up to it and love being able to let someone in if I am not home or not having to take keys if I go out for a bike ride or walk. Yes there is a cost and configuration can be a hassle, but there is benefit beyond being "cool". My next project is connecting OpenSprinkler to the external z-wave motion sensors to deal with deer raiding a vegetable garden and kids trying to get into a hot tub....
I can't see many ways in which much of anything stays the same. For distribution my guess is that delivery companies will spring up (quite probably the same as the car pool companies during off hours) and deliver for anybody. By that I mean that my favourite Chinese restaurant currently has its own delivery vehicles and personnel, but I am expecting generic delivery companies for any/all business.

They just need lockboxes in the vehicle which the end user unlocks with their phone/pin/whatever. You could even do things like share your location with the service so that deliveries arrive as you get home, whenever that is.

The "city of the future" drawing is interesting. I'm expecting that commercial space will cluster together, optimised around foot traffic, and without vast swathes of asphalt between them, not too different than malls. Residential space is a bit harder to guess - decreasing density will be more manageable, but come at the expense of travel times and delivery fees.

What I like most about the driverless future is just how locally mobile it will let everyone be. No more licenses, no more having to have good vision, no more having to worry about age, intoxication, and even time of day.
I think the dim view is on using obscurity as your only or main security approach. However leading attackers down blind alleys, in addition to having real security measures in place, doesn't seem to me to be entirely worthless (IANA Security Analyst).
I saved around $1700/year on Griddy due to some very simple smart home automation. My goal this year was to push it much further than that, alas.

From the article:

"Furthermore, all types of quantum computers have been shown to be mathematically identical, so if one won't work, none of them will."

This is vague, and does not say if it pertains to only QC's used on problems in NP, or in general.

As other posters have noted, the subject resists simplification. For more, see:

The problem with "just stop" is that it interferes with a conventional lifestyle where you can tolerate other people's choices of food(which, the vast majority of the time, will contain grains or dairy).

I lean towards the paleo style myself, but I tolerate a little bit of compromise, and a little bit more when I'm with a friend. But I know intuitively how bad it is now - the effects I feel 15-30 minutes after consumption are mild but predictable.
Great slideshow. I'm also a huge fan of this article about common pitfalls in creating achievements: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/GregMcClanahan/20091202/3709/.... In it, Kongregate's "achievements" guy gives 14 tropes that usually spell disaster.

My favorite is "Pretend that the player dies if he reaches a point where an achievement is no longer earnable, and then evaluate how frustrating that experience would be and whether it makes any sense. Since death and reaching a point where an achievement is not earnable are essentially the same thing for a player who’s only playing something to earn an achievement, this can often serve as a useful check into how the player will react."
I've never understood why biological neural nets would need back prop.

Evolutionary pressure is it's own applied loss function. It's less efficient than back prop, but gets you to solutions all the same.
The sad part is he is making an effort here to rank for "Make Money Online", so he can again make money online. Not sure how confident he is in actually doing that, but seems like a somewhat recursive cycle..

I haven't seen one, Tim, but I'd love to see it. Will you volunteer? :)
No, they can. They just don't care.

Windows laptops are packed full of hardware and software crap that nobody really wants. Fingerprint readers are unsafe toys. 17 inch monitors make it impossible to use comfortably on your lap. Doesn't matter how many cells are in your battery, it won't outlast mine because Windows drinks juice like a sailor.

I don't care how much more money I'm paying for my MacBook over a comparably specced PC. There's just no comparison. Software, hardware, support. I took my laptop to the Apple Store three times last year, got a quick turnaround and paid nothing for the repairs. I did not have to go through a phone maze or argue with anybody.

People who buy PCs just don't understand quality. Only price.
So then how would an anarchist community deal with attacks one it's members?

If you don't care about battery damage, could probably increase the charge rate without a larger battery on board.

Sure might increase the ods of a battery catching fire, or reduction in battery life. But if you're trying to get the fastest time...you might not care
Absolutely.

(I felt safe assuming that without even looking it up - if that wasn't precisely the case, it would be part of his mythos)
If it's not anarchism then what would you call a completely stateless system that still has a similar free market economy to what we have today? As far as I know, Laissez-faire system still has a state. The group I know is mostly well-off and educated people, not some edgy 16yos. Maybe they've taken anarchism and given their own spin to it. I guess it doesn't really matter. I should have said the "anarchists" I know and some groups I've seen online support absolute free speech.
That's not for Nissan only, it is quite standard for an automotive company to get software components from tens of partners.
As long as we still punish them enough to make engaging in petty "crime with a victim" not worth it.

None of this SF bull-crap where we basically don't punish the bike thieves, shoplifters and porch pirates but still find people hundreds of dollars for doing donuts in empty parking lots or not obtaining a permit before building a deck on their own house.

I'm fine with not doing squat to deter victimless crime but we can't allow the punishments for crime with a victim to be so low that it's more lucrative than a real job even after being caught many times.
Will you ever offer this service to students?
> It's literally like saying "Fuck other people who are born after me".

Possibly, but unless there is other realistic low-carbon energy source (and it seems there isn't - hydro is already built everywhere where it can be, and solar and wind are intermittent with large-scale storage being unsolved problem) there won't be any people born after you.
It seems like that wouldn’t solve the problem, because it would take away some of the incentive to create small tech in the first place!
