Well, re: authentication -- I didn't think to check slack's support for oauth etc... apparently there's 0auth.com:

https://auth0.com/docs/identityproviders

Not sure about authorization and group membership, channel authorization etc -- I assume you'll need to manage slack authorization with slack, and github authorization on the github side.

But fair's fair.

Thanks Alex.

By the way are the prices on your website in A$ or US$? If they are in A$ given the way our dollar has gone down it might be worth pointing this out.
sad, but probably true to a degree. After a given innovation, there's usually a lag time for the government to respond with laws because prior to it, there'd be just abstractions to regulate.
I've stopped drinking coffee at all and I'm way less tired. Before doing this, I wasn't able to start to watch a film in the evening without falling asleep.
That's because Kepler only assumes 1-body interaction! With 2-body, or N-body, then you get lagrange points. It doesn't "break" Kepler's law, it is just that Kepler law doesn't apply in 3-body interactions.
If you're an engineer with an employment contract in front of you, you're a good engineer. You can get a job elsewhere.

I would dare say it's worth going into 1-2 months of debt to work where you're respected versus staying in the black and working where you're not.
Is your iTunes account maybe registered to your old Dutch address? Because the iTunes error I get (and the people on the Apple support line) tells me that I need a credit card for the country my iTunes acc is registered in.

>You do know you can change your country/App Store country?

Not that easily. (I'm not talking about clicking the flag in the iTunes store front but changing the personal data associated with the account). For that I need to contact Apple support. And then there's the issue that there are enough stories where people who frequently used their iTunes account from foreign countries got their account suspended. (Add a fake address in the Netherlands I would have to use and this is a risk I don't want to take).

/edit: That's the message I get: http://i.imgur.com/IWfI8np.png
Oh, I was looking forward to getting into ML and NN, but given my crappy i3 CPU/integrated GPU, seems like I am not.
Note that the Moon is fully lit by the Sun (it's a "full Moon" from the perspective of the satellite). And it's gray on the picture, as the Earth is significantly brighter.

Now, you can check it yourself, take the best camera you can have, go one night when the Moon is full somewhere outside of the city where you see the stars and then try to make a photo where on the photo both the stars and the Moon surface are visible at the same time. It simply can't work, the light of the stars is very faint, as soon as you see any details of the surface on the photo you take the stars will surely be invisible. Our eyes are still much better than any camera we can produce.
Dutch directness has a side effect of coming across as arrogant, its merely a difference in culture[0].

For example, if you are Dutch and your friends are Dutch, you don't go on and ask "how are you?" to the people that aren't close to you.

The question "how are you?" is actually there for you to show genuine interest in someone else's life at that moment. The polar opposite of it is the US version i guess, where a "how are you?" results almost always with a "fine and you?".

On another note, i think the main reason(i might be very wrong here) that they had this clash is Alan Kay being a pioneer in object oriented programming. And Dijkstra's counter-discourses against it and sometimes those discourses were harsh[1]. (Although we can agree oop is garbage :D, that is certainly not the best way to put it.)

Touche, my friend, touche!

But you see, said skull is constantly buffeted by the paradoxes of the following three EWD maxims:

1. "The competent programmer is fully aware of the strictly limited size of his own skull";

2. "I realized that my prior projects were just finger warm-ups. Now I have to tackle complexity itself. But it took long, before I had assembled the courage to do so."

3. "Are you quite sure that all those bells and whistles, all those wonderful facilities of your so called powerful programming languages, belong to the solution set rather than the problem set?"

:-) Take care.
And then along came Japan with Kaizen and demonstrated that assembly line employees can be used to add value.

So what happens when they've aggressively expanded into all their target markets and are still not profitable and have nowhere else to go? Pure expansion is pretty much the sign of a first-mover bubble company who will collapse with their advantage being copied by calmer second-movers...
The satellite is 1 million miles away from Earth at the L1 Lagrange point. What is it about optics that allows us to compare a photo of the stars taken at such a distance with one taken from the surface of the earth? [Edit: "compare", in the sense of understanding whether or not the stars will or won't show up in each case. I get that the laws of optics are the same throughout the universe.]

> The dynamic range difference between day light objects on earth and the stars on the sky is huge.

I agree, but would a person sitting in the satellite see stars if they looked in that direction? If so, do our eyes just have better dynamic range than the camera used by the satellite?
Car companies would not be happy if fewer people decide to not own a car and just decide to ride share everywhere. More miles in this case mean few cars sold.
As the article points out, the real question is whether Uber is making money in mature markets, such as San Francisco. If the mature markets aren't highly profitable, Uber is way overvalued.
The valuation for Uber has got to be based on #2. Specifically that you can drive down wage costs by having a fleet of self driving cars. And that the current app/business model is just to get the app installed onto as many phones as possible.
You can use D, which shares a lot of syntax with C, although you cannot directly reuse C code because there is no preprocessor in D. Some people use D as a "C development compiler".

The incremental path is the official C standards. C will probably gain modules for example.
That's probably the reason why I don't know the brands. I don't care; they're all about the same.

I think icpmacdo's comment stands, though. Uber have built an amazingly strong brand that people do care about. To the point where I am willing to wait a few minutes for an UberX to reach me rather than hailing one of the taxis passing by.

Even though UberX is a bit inconsistent in quality, it is at least consistently better than taxis.
Great feedback. Our prices are in AUD so we'll add that for sure.
This is cool. I've often toyed with a similar idea of creating a language that improves/fixes the thing C messed up. If you aren't worried about safety (memory bugs can largely be avoided by changing how you do memory allocation, i.e. switch from individual mallocing to region based memory management) then C is actually a pretty nice language since it is simple enough to hold the entire language in your head. Plus it's nice to know how things are actually laid out in memory. The problems C2 solves are really the main things that frustrate me about C: header files, lack of a build systems, no modules, spiraling type signatures.

Hacking "Mrs. Clinton’s amateurish private email server"? – WSJ
I actually like serif fonts on retina screens. The first "reader view" on the iPhone was serif and it was easy to read.

On the linked page the resulting size of the letters on the page is simply too small to allow easy reading. When the area to display text is so small, the designer shouldn't insist on the white margins or the comments on the side. On web page, the comments could be much better done in the "Wikipedia" style (showing on click). The design of the Wikipedia articles on the moment is actually good on iPhone. Much better than this, very natural to read.

“The Chinese will sell people anything they like. They don’t ask any questions. They don’t care what you do with what they sell you. They won’t ask whether the Egyptians are going to hold elections, or repress people, or throw journalists into jail. They don’t care. The Americans think, If everybody is like me, they’re less likely to attack me. The Chinese don’t think like that. They don’t try to make the world be like them. Their strategy is to make economic linkages, so if you break these economic linkages it’s going to hurt you as much as it hurts them.”

Good article. But it's not an argument against essentialism. If two states are judged to share the same emotional character, then they necessarily have something identifiable in common, namely, an essential property. The author merely wants a better measuring device to find this essential property, not to abandon the search.

Darwin did update the idea of essences by giving us many more to work with. The finding of transitional forms in the fossil record helped drive this point home. He also showed that whatever their center of "essential mass" was, it definitely wasn't immutable as many had speculated before him. By explaining speciation through gradual change, Darwin showed us that every species' core is in flux.

For John Dewey (who famously wrote about the impact of Darwin on philosophy), this meant that the concept of a fixed and eternal essence in biology was then metaphysical baggage. But Dewey jumped the gun a bit because he was writing before any understanding of genes. Nowadays, genetic essentialism is an indispensable notion in biology, since it is mostly only by sharing in some genetic core of what a species is that enables two tokens of that species type to interbreed productively.

As for the article, I gather that one of the author's primary aims was to discredit the theoretical basis of practices like profiling, lie-detection, and such. She also wanted to show that localizing emotions in one part of the brain is a fool's errand, which she did to great effect. And while her point about the statistical nature of reading each other's emotions is valid, it's certainly not a stroke against the idea that all feeling states of one kind have something in common. After all, if they didn't, then we'd constantly be unsure whether it's hunger or xenophobia we feel when we smell pancakes in the morning.
Hmm, for some reason it won't let me convert Stephen Wolfram to nanoDijkstras.
Why do these people always change grades?

That's just pathetically stupid. I know what grades I gave my students. If you alter that, I'm going to know.

If, however, you are looking at test material ahead of time, it's going to be much harder to notice.
I can imagine people from the south of England pronouncing them differently, so in more southern American accents I wouldn't be surprised to hear "cot" as a very quick, almost glottal sound, and "caught" with a long drawn out vowel.

As a Scot, I naturally pronounce them both identically. I'm just amazed there are people for whom "Mary", "Merry" and "Marry" are the same, nevermind utterly different!

Of course this test is not going to tell me anything useful... :)

edit: Sadly "gutties" was not an option for gym shoes, "ginger" was not an option for carbonated beverages. I'm either from Miami or Boston, and definitely not from Detroit. But really I'm from Glasgow :)
Got it. Have you ever met anyone from dosomething.org? They work with kids under 25 who want to have a social impact. Many go on to start their own non profits. Maybe you can hook up your networks. I used to work there
The tide you are fighting probably isn't irrationality but limited resources. If you have zero resources to ramp up marketing yet have fixed costs that must be met then its basically raise fees or close the club. Companies can take on debt\sell equity but that door is not open to everyone and doesn't stay open forever. If you have a way out of downward spirals caused by lack of resources please share!
This is ridiculous. One year in prison is madness for such a thing.

One year in prison probably means that this guy is never going to complete his career (I assume he was a tutor at some university while studying there). He won't get a job afterwards. This essentially destroys his life.

Not even considering what may happen in crowded prisons.

So no, IMNSHO this is not "a just sentence".
Why would they want to ban it? If anything it would result in an increase to population.

I can't tell if you're being serious. A year in prison for changing some grades seems quite excessive. Five years of probation (that went along with the jail sentence) is plenty, I would think.
I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Using a CPAP was life changing for me. I won't sleep without it now if I can help it, though it did take me a bit of iterating through different mask arrangements. The first few weeks were hard - I slept strangely because I dreamt intensely (and I was told that's normal). Before I couldn't remember the last time I really had a dream. After years of slowly acclimating to not getting real sleep, actually getting good sleep and rest was amazing. It was like emerging from a fog of years that I never realized I was in. Once you get too far in, you don't really realize how tired you were. True, the process to get there wasn't fun. But hopefully you find the end result as beneficial as I did.

Would it be possible to purchase a CPAP overseas when traveling and bring it back into the US? Are there laws against that if it is for personal use?
It must be a profitable racket because my optometrist was trying to sell me one. Lol.

Fortunately my ENT wrote a prescription for a sleep study but told me to try Breathe Right strips first. He told me honestly the surgery is painful and the strips had cut his surgical load in half.

He was right. I've never slept better and my wife is no longer contemplating my early demise by pillow smothering.

How close are satellites to the spacecraft that took these photos? Well, it's about a million miles from Earth, generally the farthest satellites away from Earth are at about 40,000km altitude in geostationary orbit, which would put them maybe 4% closer to the spacecraft than Earth, so it wouldn't affect perspective hardly at all.

So that leaves resolution and physical size.

How big are satellites? About the size of cars or maybe a bus?

Do you talk about TextSecure or PGP when you talk about "out of band verification of key fingerprints"? I'm talking about TextSecure.

And I'm not interested in the client side, but in the server side of the security. I assume I can rebuild the client using the sources and compare their client with my build.

What I can't assume is that their servers aren't, for example, infested by some state security malware which takes over the control. I want the protocols that work even when the server is subverted.

Not necessarily.

The "tinfoil hat" approach is a personal-scope solution.

Part of the "what do I do when I encounter it" course of action could involve a societal-scope solution. E.g., getting involved with privacy advocacy groups or pressuring relevant lawmakers to roll overreach back. (This is, admittedly, far more work and far less likely to succeed.)

Thoughts as I read:

1. "uninitialized var usage is error": unfortunately impossible without at least one of the following compromises: Automatically initialize variables (wastes CPU); False alarms (see Java); Built-in formal proof system; or, Require compilers to solve the halting problem.

2. Removed keyword "static": kills one of my favorite tricks, "self-init'ing functions".

3. New keyword "as": A good invention in Pythonland. Good call to bring this in.

4. New keyword "nil": Redundant with NULL?

5. Example - Base Types: Uses uint8 in place of char. This obscures intent and makes code less readable. Compare:
int library_fnc(char asterisk errmsg)
versus
int library_fnc(uint8 asterisk errmsg). (HN wants to turn my asterisks into italics...)
In the former it's clear errmsg is a string, in the latter it's not clear (it could be a pointer to a flag).

6. Example - function types. Doesn't one usually typedef the function pointer, rather than the function itself? So making that require two lines is annoying. Aside that, the author is right that C has confusing function pointer typedef syntax.

7. Multi-part array initialization: Encourages unmaintainable code. Depending on what's in those "..."'s, might require compiler to solve halting problem?

8. Multi-pass parsing: Trades maintainability for instant gratification.

9. Symbol accessibility: The author makes "public" (and implicit "private") modify entire structs rather than individual fields...

10. Multi-file module: May lead to unmaintainable code

11. I'm worried about the language arbitrarily defining things like "the results of building are stored in the 'output' directory". OTOH the recipe.txt idea could help standardize what amounts to a lot of ad hoc Makefile programming.

12. Build process difference: Theoretically could speed up compilation. I'm worried for social reasons. In module-based languages, we tend to fall into module hell: one symptom being the infamous 20-page stacktrace (see: Java, Clojure, etc.) The nature of C's #include incentivizes shallow dependency trees (a very good thing).

13. "Language scope": trades portability for convenience

14. Tooling: This shouldn't be part of the language, it should be separate.
If I understand, somehow the server delivers the initial keys to clients ("to make the process easier"). What happens if some evildoer takes control of Text Secure servers? Can the evildoer read all the communication from that point on, provided he can also capture the encrypted traffic (which is reasonable to assume)?

The protocol "safe from the server turning malicious" would also be good even if I'd run my own server to prevent Text Secure servers getting all the contacts.
Sounds like a plum job. I wonder if it will remain currant.
If there is no damage done when someone makes a closed source version, then there is no damage done when some pirates that closed source version. Some have no interest in paying for the closed sourced version anyway, and why should the closed source developer enforce his envy against users doing as they wish with the code?
No, Apple is funding them behind the scenes anyways (based on their reviews).
Yes, our eyes just do have a fantastic dynamic range.

Having said that, if you were sitting on the satellite, you would see even more stars if you blinkered out the brightness of the sun, moon, and earth.
All the author is showing is that no-one who he tried to scam spotted his fake duplicate packets. At best, none of the people were running any QI-detecting code, and if they were, no-one reported the incident to a forum that he read.
It's not a very conclusive result, really.
This is good development!

I'm not sure how effective the law will be though. As others mentioned, those agreements are hard/impossible to enforce in court, part of the reason of which is that they are completely one-sided, vague and almost enslaving (we own whatever you create also in your own time, can't compete directly/indirectly for 10 years after leaving, can't use anything your learned while working for us...). But what stops the ex-employer accusing the ex-employee of stealing trade secrets and keep them in courts for ~3 years (and forcing to spend hundreds of thousands)? Cause, you know, it's hard to litigate with someone who has a few orders of magnitude more resources than you do.

As for non-solicit - I have a different opinion. Have seen companies breaking apart because some of the middle-managers/team leads decided to leave the company and take their team and the clients (with whom they had direct contact) with them. E.g. that's how Lycos Armenia's history ended.
