11,502,775 | null | comment | x5n1 | 1,460,705,405 | > This strange metaphysical fancy lies behind the fashionable theory that when people leave advanced countries to join ISIS they do so because they have undergone a process of “radicalization.” But who radicalized the tens of millions of Europeans who flocked to Nazism and fascism in the interwar years? The disaster that ensued was not the result of clever propaganda, though that undoubtedly played a part. Interwar Europe demonstrates how quickly and easily civilized life can be disrupted and destroyed by the impact of war and economic crisis.<p>The reason people go join ISIS is because they feel their needs are not met by modern society. Certain needs such as the need to feel important and powerful, to have some sense of metaphysical meaning are not met by modern society. Especially for some Muslims living in the West who have not yet integrated fully into Western society. For them Islam frames their identify and the metaphysical meaning of their lives.<p>ISIS in theory and propaganda offers a way to have those needs met. The same reason people supported Nazis, the British and the French made Germans feel as if they were a powerless underclass under continuous economic tyranny. Nazism made them feel powerful and important again, it gave them a sense of community and meaning.<p>The West has worked hard to make Muslims feel impotent, and their religious class has exploited this rhetoric to gain and maintain social power, ISIS then co-opted this rhetoric and promises to make them feel powerful, at least in theory. Its acts of brutality reiterate this idea.<p>The only way to deal with this is either get rid of Islam, and help Muslims frame their needs in terms of Western society. Or to re-frame Islam in a way that is compatible with modernity, capitalism, and modern society. The second being a much harder goal. | null | 11,502,557 | null | [

It doesn't help on a technical level, but helps on a social one.<p>Game consoles historically have done all of these: You have to spend tens of thousands on a developer kit, they often prefer to see companies with a history, and they review your game before they allow you to sell it.

11,502,797 | null | comment | omegant | 1,460,705,862 | Well my experience designing my App (an appstore for renting expensive software) both the UI and the programing side (My cofounder is an expert arquitect but it was hard for him to be in every standup as it was a side project for him), is that most programers are too centered in the internal workings. It's hard for them to see the picture from far away, as an user. So after talking long about a behaviour of the app in certain situations, I still found that some obvious (to me) UX pathways, were not obvious to them, because they were thinking in terms of internal functions and data base.
This is not a critique, programing is hard, and while learning to code miself I've learned how different is the mindsetting needed to program from anything else.
Also UI and UX are very hard, harder than I would have guessed. Specially hard is keeping an app light in steps and options. Removing all the innecessary guessing from users while keeping a familiar structure. I think that trying to refine UX is the first time I found misself tired of actually "thinking". | null | 11,502,192 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,502,809 | null | comment | melchebo | 1,460,706,104 | This research applies to 'NUMA' systems. Commonly servers with multiple physical CPUs that each have a connection to their own memory banks. They can access memory of the other CPU by requesting it, but that take time. So the process scheduler has to take that into account. Usually by keeping processes a slight bit affixed to the place where it was started.<p>Off-topic, but high-performance long running processes are mainly programmed in C, C++ & Java. Maybe stuff like Rust and Swift in the future. Fortran if you are doing mathematical computation, but then you'd probably already use it if you need it.<p>For what I estimate that you mean with high traffic on PHP or node systems on multiple servers, probably you want to look at Elixir and it's Phoenix web framework.

11,502,815 | null | comment | asyousay | 1,460,706,212 | Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy and forgiveness. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the basic tenants of Islam. When Timothy McVeigh bombed the Oklahoma City building, no American or Christian was labeled as a terrorist or was the target of hate crimes. When Irish Christians carry out acts of terrorism against each other and on the British Isles, the Christian religion is not blamed but individuals or their political agenda. Unfortunately, the same is not true for American Muslims and Arabs. The vast majority of Muslims or Arabs have no association with the violent events around the world yet Islam is invoked with terrorism. It is unfair to 1.5 billion Muslims of the world and religion of Islam. | true | 11,502,557 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,502,819 | null | comment | omegant | 1,460,706,257 | Well my experience designing my App (an appstore for renting expensive software) both the UI and the programing side (My cofounder is an expert arquitect but it was hard for him to be in every standup as it was a side project for him), is that most programers are too centered in the internal workings. It's hard for them to see the picture from far away, as an user. So after talking long about a behaviour of the app in certain situations, I still found that some obvious (to me) UX pathways, were not obvious to them, because they were thinking in terms of internal functions and data base.
This is not a critique, programing is hard, and while learning to code miself I've learned how different is the mindsetting needed to program from anything else.
Also UI and UX are very hard, harder than I would have guessed. Specially hard is keeping an app light in steps and options. Removing all the innecessary guessing from users while keeping a familiar structure. I think that trying to refine UX is the first time I found misself tired of actually "thinking". | true | 11,502,192 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
11,502,823 | null | comment | hvidgaard | 1,460,706,304 | You want to convert the data to an open format and keep that around in modern containers, where you can easily transfer it to a different container should that be necessary. BUT for many applications you also want to preserve the environment. For instance, if you write your thesis in LaTeX, whatever installation you have is unlikely to be replicable in 10 years, so keeping a minimal VM that can compile it is preferable. You would need to keep this VM runable and upgrade it to newer formats as things progress. | null | 11,502,475 | null | [

11,502,849 | null | comment | ghshephard | 1,460,706,946 | Well, define "Insane" - if we're talking an extra $5-$7 on a $20 charger, I, personally, am completely fine with that as long as it means I can rely that it will perform to spec, not damage my equipment, and provide full data rate performance. Particularly how important USB chargers are <i>every single day of my life</i>.<p>This is a much bigger deal with USB 3.1, as according to <a href="http://www.extremetech.com/computing/197145-reversible-usb-type-c-finally-on-its-way-alongside-usb-3-1s-10gbit-performance" rel="nofollow">http://www.extremetech.com/computing/197145-reversible-usb-t...</a>, we're looking at up to 100 watts of power being sent down the wire - I very, very, very much want to be certain that the gear I'm connecting to the charger doesn't get torched by the wrong power levels.<p>I think there is a reasonable middle ground between "Small Elite Group" and "Everyone" - I.E. given that the global market for USB chargers will be on the order of approx 1 Billion units/year (certainly more than 100 million, and probably less than 10 Billion) - and given that a 4-port charger goes for about $20 today, presuming the cost of those chargers goes to, say, $27, then that's $27 Billion revenue/year. (Some chargers will be single/dual port, but other chargers will be more expensive/featured - we're schwagging here). Probably sufficient to support on the order of 2-3 thousand companies that have been certified, presuming that each company needs to drive around 10mm revenue/year after certified their product(s).<p>I'm satisfied with being limited to 2000 or so USB charger vendors of hopefully higher quality, than 10,000+ of who-knows quality. | null | 11,502,721 | null | [

11,502,834 | null | comment | loup-vaillant | 1,460,706,556 | > <i>Again you assume that, since they didn't include it, they must not have known about it.</i><p>That's not why I assumed ignorance. I assumed ignorance because their stated reasons for doing so are false. Generics can be simple. They skipped them "for simplicity's sake". Therefore they didn't know generics could be simple.<p>Besides, generics could have probably helped them simplify other parts of the language. (But I'm getting ahead of myself.)<p>> How fast does Go compile compared to Haskell?<p>I don't know. I have reasons to guess Haskell is much slower however.<p>> And, is that a fair comparison?<p>Probably not: both languages are bootstrapped, so their respective implementation use very different languages (Go and Haskell, respectively). Haskell is non-strict, so it needs many optimizations to get acceptable performance. Haskell's type system is much more complex than your regular HM type inference: it has type classes, higher-order types, and many extensions I know nothing about —it's a research language after all.<p>Qualitative analysis would be better at assessing how generics affect compile time. My current answer is "not much": the effects of a simple type system (let's say system-F with local type inference) are all local. You don't have to instantiate your generics several times like you would do with templates, you can output generic assembly code instead. To avoid excessive boxing, you can use pointer tagging, so generic code can treat pointers and integers the same way —that's how Ocaml does it. | null | 11,500,988 | null | [

11,502,855 | null | comment | marssaxman | 1,460,707,070 | That's a little harsh, but the cognitive bias you're describing certainly is a common one, and it's one I struggled with a lot when I was younger. I've learned to manage feelings of fear or anxiety by reinterpreting their activated, buzzy feeling as excitement or anticipation. This works well, though it has turned me into something of a daredevil...<p>I really don't think that's what's behind my attitude toward code editors, though. I've been writing code for thirty-odd years and making a living at it for twenty-five, and I've spent the majority of that time working on dev tools. Compilers, mostly - but I've written a couple of editors, too, plus a debugger, a couple of linkers, an assembler, you name it. So I have had a lot of time to think about tools, and have been lucky enough to get several chances to put my ideas into practice.<p>I'd have trouble remembering the names of all the different editors and IDEs I've used over the years. Emacs and vi are ubiquitous now but that was certainly not always true, and on some platforms, particularly embedded environments, using anything but the officially-blessed toolchain can make your life unnecessarily difficult. I have learned to get my work done using whatever tools happen to be on hand. That's meant a wide variation in the kinds of features which are available, the specific control-key bindings, the details of the build environment, pretty much anything you can imagine - so I have learned to rely on the basics and ignore the rest.<p>I find it far more frustrating to deal with a sophisticated tool that isn't working quite right than a simple, brainless tool that does the job but requires a little extra manual labor.<p>I'm not here to play with editors, after all, I'm here to build software, and the editors are just a means to that end. Time spent learning sophisticated editor features has to justify itself in time reliably saved using those features, which has to be balanced against the time wasted when they don't work quite right or when you have to go dig through the documentation to remember how to use them, times some distraction multiplier for the fact that you're thinking about the tool instead of the job you're using the tool to do. In my experience, there's been too much change and not enough actual need for sophisticated editor features to justify their cost.<p>Even if a sophisticated editor could allow me to perform certain editing tasks more quickly, that wouldn't change my overall productivity very much at all, because I spend far more time reading and thinking than I spend typing or editing. I type fast enough already; it's my brain that needs to be accelerated, and the best way I've found to do that is to eliminate distractions and focus as much as possible on the problem I am actually trying to solve.<p>I wrote a simple terminal-based editor a couple of years ago, including all the features I use every day and none that I don't, and I've been using it for all my daily programming work ever since. It's an unabashedly personal expression of my own taste, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone else, but I like it and feel good when I use it. It's nice to know everything there is to know about the tool, so that I never have to think about it or try to remember how it works. Perhaps some day I'll be working in some new environment with some new toolchain and I won't be able to take ozette[1] along with me, but that's fine - wherever I go, I'll be able to get my work done with the tools I find there, because I'm comfortable doing my job with the basics.<p>1 - <a href="http://www.github.com/marssaxman/ozette/" rel="nofollow">http://www.github.com/marssaxman/ozette/</a> | null | 11,500,996 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
