Yes, that's a very valid counterpoint.

The problem being explored by this and other ideas is this: the Internet has massively increased our intellectual wealth, but for the vast majority this does not translate into any increase in physical wealth. If anything, the Internet may actually make it harder for many people to earn physical renumeration from intellectual activity.

Meanwhile the cost of the most necessary physical goods and services keeps rising. We've created a world where a person can be homeless yet have the combined knowledge of all of humanity available to them instantly. We've created an imaginary post-scarcity society online, but that's coming into stark conflict with the very real scarcity of the physical world in which it ultimately exists. Cyberspace is like the Egyptian afterlife: you go to heaven, but someone must guard and bring food to your Ka.

It's truly bizarre, a total inversion of the ancient world where almost everyone could live off the land yet the priests monopolized knowledge and literacy.
I've lost attachments to old gmail messages before, I never thought it was impossible or unlikely for Google to lose data.

I'm sure the data wasn't truly lost. If I'd called them up and they'd made it their priority to find my old files, they could have done so, having so many redundant backups. But of course no one at Google is taking calls like that or acting on individual requests. The data was effectively lost, not technically lost. But I'm sure it's uncommon.
The ICE issue is what turned me off Rust.

I went all-in for side projects like you (this is how I typically learn a language), but after two months or so, I was spending 30-60 minutes a day trying to figure out the cause of compiler crashes, and then tweak my code so it didn't trigger them.

I've heard the ICEs have gotten much better in 1.2 (I was working in 1.0), but I haven't picked it up again.
The 1.5 build requires you to have a go1.4.2 build which is used as the bootstrapping compiler.
Also how would that help with geographic redundancy? Local recovery from errors does you no good if your datacenter gets wiped out in a flood.
They probably *should( eat the costs. If your employee breaks your machinery, well, fire him and move on.

As someone who is hardly the student's best friend on this thread, I'm skeptical they could really stick him with the 30K bill, and even more skeptical that they could get any of it from him, since he is judgment-proof.
Well image if file systems, file formats and version control systems were built from the ground up together. Currently file syncing is harder because we expect our file server to handle an infinite variety of legacy file formats and the file sever cannot try to know anything about the document structure (whereas a version control system can examine the contents of plain text files).

Surely this is why Google docs can manage collaborative working more easily -- because they can control of the whole stack.

Better than the OP would be file syncing of arbitrary files between arbitrary systems is hard.
Gearing Up for DevOps Enterprise Summit: Live CHAT
I ran into significant issues with LESS that forced me to switch. I haven't seen any with SCSS, so that's the question. Is it just another new fad, or have people exhibited a real need for switching?
I found this article pretty hard to read from the distracting animations, but I do like where the research is going on ketamine. Specifically, it's been found to be a good treatment for anhedonia[1], the loss of pleasure or interest in things you used to enjoy. Anhedonia makes life feel pretty empty, and it tends to improve very slowly even with treatment.

Frustratingly for the animators of this article, the view that ketamine is a club drug that can also fix depression is probably not going to do wonders for its legitimacy as a serious treatment.

>Moved from Less to Sass.

what was the motivation for the switch?
Of course I can't, but that's irrelevant because I also didn't. I simply pointed out that the use of the word "native" against Americans which simply happen to have a more recent immigration background is pretty arbitrary and arguably unfair.
Since the app already bundles web views and resources, I'm curious to hear if they considered making it an Electron app, and if they did - why they decided to go with multiple native apps instead.

(I realize at least the OSX version probably predates Electron, still might have paid off to completely rewrite.)

You may be able to improve the timers a bit one way or another, but in general most of those issues are not wholly fixable without moving to a real time operating system.

For instance, on a non-RTOS scheduler, although usually things happen fairly soon after expected, there can be an unbounded delay, which in some reasonable models approximates a Gaussian with an indefinitely long tail.

None of that is under the control of applications/libraries running on the OS.

Not that an RTOS magically fixes everything, due to things like implicitly conflicting goals.

>>Puts it in perspective.

2000's, I worked at a call center and then a large software company in Bangalore. Late nights, weekends and sometimes even doing consecutive days(2-3 days) at office were common. Some people I known of have clocked a record 7 days at office, sleeping in dorms for 4 hours per day. None of us complained, because merely getting a job in those situations was a blessing. Who would mind atrocious working hours, where the next option is bankruptcy.

My father was a truck driver, then a bus driver and is now a taxi driver. Most of his life he pretty much went perennially sleep deprived, tiring work driving all time. With no access to food, good sleeping conditions or even a rest room.

In fact this is pretty much how bulk of world works to make a living.

Recently, in the last 4-5 years. I had a day job and was doing my start up on the side. 10-11 hours at office and 6-9 hours of start up work at home was common. Getting barely 5 hours of sleep after a grueling day of very hard work, tense situations and routine crippling failures are common.

I would say human life is very hard. That's how it is by default.

I am not 100% sure, but I think if you are jamming signals on your own, personal, private property and the jamming does not extend past your boundaries, it might be legal. But that is an edge case that really doesn't apply in the vast majority of situations. The rule of thumb would essentially be that if you are jamming someone's signal outside of the strict boundaries of your personal, private property you are doing so illegally.

On the whole, there will come a time when one would like to do something else before checking out. There's a balance between doing good work and enjoying life - I recommend trying to do both while the all the pieces work well. Keep in mind that deferring things to a future time is a risk in that the future time might never arrive, or it might arrive in a way you can't use.
I wouldn't say chasing the "latest and greatest" is always the case when trying the new fads. A lot of times it comes down to 'you don't know what you don't know'. I was doing fine using regular old CSS, and then I came upon some SASS examples, and holy cow, you can make variables, mixins, and do math? I never knew that was even a thing and it certainly wasn't a problem I was having with CSS, but I am glad I found it and now use it and its luxury.
+1. I don't support or defend the student's actions one bit, but the 30K was negotiated between CERN and the vendor. Fire him with a "not eligible for rehire note" in his HR file: fine. Make him the subject of orientation studies: great. Trying to get him to pay CERN's fine: sketchy.

I have recently built an app which exposes a web interface through which you can add youtube songs. And the app will play them from the queue.

The context is that we have a big hall room and we wanted to play songs from anywhere in the house without being connected to the speaker. Of course, we decided against buying a bluetooth speaker and create something of our own !

With the "innovating" part I was talking about Mozilla in general, not Servo.

It's valid to say, "I don't like Facebook's policies," "I don't like that Facebook is so embedded in society," or even "I don't like Facebook." But the notion you put forward that Zuckerberg started "stealing your person" or that "You are not free when you are on the Internet" is absurd. You are free. And you are not, as you suggest, being forced to take part.

Facebook is a platform. A lot of people use it. It gathers the data that you put into it. Its existence doesn't hinder your freedom, unless you're misconstruing the definition of "freedom."

Society has a lot of bullshit expectations, and there are many dominant opinions that cause circumstances I like, but none of those stop me from being "free."

Effective Java, static factory method and Android
Possible and (relatively) easy.

We write the formal definition of the function in Cryptol, and use the Cryptol toolset to compare it to our implementation.

Cryptol[1] has the amazing ability to verify implementation equivalence between [a large class of] functions written in Cryptol, C, Java, Assembly or VHDL (as far as I recall). Of course this class of functions is not Turing Complete, but it's good enough to verify that two implementations of SHA256 or AES are mathematically identical.

The way Cryptol does this is really interesting: they compile the functions to a logic circuit, and use a SAT solver to prove that the circuit (f(x) == g(x)) always outputs T.

Three things, I think:

It's much easier to build hype with pretty renderings of miniatures rather than just with pictures of cards and dice.

I think folks are more willing to lay out $50 or $100 for a game with miniatures because it seems like you're getting more stuff. Even if the game sucks you get all these cool toys you can play with.

These games inevitably have higher revenue per user which gives them a much better chance of making the leaderboard. The cheapest reward level for Zombiecide: Season 3 was $90 and they raised about $237 per customer. Compare this to Tiny Epic Galaxies which had a similar number of backers and only raised only $33 per customer.
The moment I read this article, I thought about ActiveWorlds again. I was never a paying citizen, but I used to visit a fair bit, a long time ago. They had so many different worlds and projects people did through it, I was surprised nobody mainstream ever gave it attention.

Perhaps once VR goes fully retail we'll see world creators like this become popular.
> It was a while ago, and I tried using it at work -- for simple tasks, tasks that would have taken tens of minutes using either Java or Python. With Haskell it would invariably take much, much longer. It would look really beautiful at the end, but the truth is the extra amount it took couldn't be justified.

The productivity curve for Haskell is exactly the opposite of something like Python. You spend a lot of time at the beginning writing all your fancy types, monads, etc. Then later when you have thousands of lines of code you can make non-trivial changes with the ease with which you could write a tiny one-off Python script.
Yeah, it looks like we're in violent agreement.
>he enlisted reputable journalists to process the documents and make decisions about what was safe to release and what wasn't.

That's really only the bare minimum. He also exposed a bunch of obviously legal programs that just made the US look bad to allies or outted intelligence programs designed to attack future potential enemies. He did this because he believed those actions were morally wrong.

I don't see how that is different from outting cheaters on a website. Both are punishing people for violations of your moral code.

What? How is this even remotely true?! Do you have any sort of factual backing behind this viewpoint?

Facebook has years and billions of data points on human interaction between friends, lovers, acquaintances, and enemies. Facebook can determine your lifestyle, sexual orientation, socio economic status, and whether or not you're married just from your friend list. Facebook has one of the largest sources of demographic information on the planet, and each of those demographics has told facebook exactly what their hopes, dreams, interests, and fears are.

This is an absolutely ridiculous line of reasoning that willfully ignores the fact that knowledge, and more importantly knowledge about you, is almost pure power. By this same logic Gmail is only worth money because they have a tiny bar above your inbox that people look at, as opposed to having an enormous machine learning corpus of people's intimate communications.

If anything, the simple fact that algorithmic traders are using Facebook's open graph data to find an edge on the stock market is blatant proof that the real money is in the data.

>>> If everyone stopped using Facebook tomorrow, the value of all the information Facebook has gathered would be negligible.

Just like if everyone stopped using the internet today all the information the NSA has gathered would be negligible, right?
KDE Applications 15.08.0 Released
Me and you have very different ideas on how to spread knowledge about drugs, let's just agree on that :)
It's slightly more complex than that because they're "protecting" you between $178 and $210. If you scroll down and click the "Preview Your Strategy" button, it'll show you exactly what they're going to do.

So, in your example, they would:

Short SPY 2016-01-15 call option with strike price at $235.00

Long SPY 2016-01-15 call option with strike price at $210.00

Short SPY 2016-01-15 put option with strike price at $178.00

The net cost of that (including commissions) would be $516.24

They'd also retain cash of $21,000

If the price ended above $235, you would exercise your option to Buy @ $210 (using the $21k cash), but would be forced to Sell @ $235, so you'd end up making a profit of $25 per share (i.e. $25,000 in total).

If the price ended below $178, you would be forced to Buy @ $178 (using $17,800 of your $21,000) and you would then sell at the market price, losing up to $178 per share. You'd also get back the unused $3,200 cash.

If the price ended between $178 and $210, you wouldn't do anything, nobody would exercise the options you'd sold them and you'd get back $21,000 in cash.

If the price ended between $210 and $235, you would exercise your option to Buy @ $210, and you would then sell at the market price, so you'd end up with somewhere between $21,000 and $25,000.
> no harm was done to CERN

Yes it was. CERN's negotiated contracts were broken, triggering a 30K damage award. Just because it's "on paper" doesn't mean the damage isn't real. He could have done the same kind of damage if he had sexually harassed an underling.[1]

I can say with very high confidence that "don't pirate software" is a key part of orientation at CERN, the same way as at most large companies.

The student might not have known about the specifics of the contract (and he shouldn't pay the 30K), but it's not the company's responsibility to tell each and every idiot "here is why you obey our policies." It's the company's responsibility to tell each idiot "these rules are important to obey."

[1] of course the student likely didn't have any reports

That is something that we've considered. Both Mac and Windows clients predate Electron (but maybe not the initial versions of Atom).

Rewriting from scratch in an unfamiliar environment would have taken a lot more work. There are tradeoffs to both approaches, but using the existing native apps let us ship a less buggy release more quickly.

I think there's also a spot for board games as a social outlet that requires less commitment than D&D and is more accessible than videogaming; several years ago I used to get together with friends and bring videogame consoles, more recently it's board games (and they're super easy to play with new acquaintances too). I hate to say it but games like Cards against Humanity are, in a way, the Minecraft of board games; it starts with "party" games and before you know it you're playing BSG :)
