Public funding for fusion research in the US and Europe is a waste of money; it's simply providing employment for past generations of fusion researchers, and pouring money down a hole on technologies which will never work.

Tri-Alpha, on the other hand, has something new that might actually work. I went over the patents a few years ago (was going to do a blog on them; got busy); it's quite different from the approaches that get money via public funding, and unlike those approaches, it stands a chance of working.
You sound like a religious adept. Open your eyes, just see the truth, blah-blah-blah.

I asked for a very simple thing - a piece of code which is easy, robust and maintainable because of its use of OOP. All of the qualities are objective and easy to measure, regardless of your philosophy. There must be at leat some examples of this. If they do not exist, then your claims that OOP eliminates complexity are nothing but religion, not backed by any evidence at all.
Seems they're between a rock and a hard place. When Google proposed HTTPS everywhere, a number of people took exception because not all content has sensitive data needing protection.

I guess the real question is whether an HTTP call to load an ad copy is sensitive content. I think you can make an argument that it is sensitive content, because if I were monitoring your connection, and everything was encrypted, but I suddenly saw lots of ads for Ashley Madison and cheating sites, I might conclude that you had been researching those in the past even if I couldn't see your other traffic.

A better way would just to let the ad networks fix it. You can bet that after iOS9 ships, if they see a massive drop in ad traffic, they'll be burning the midnight oil to fix it ASAP.

I mean, iOS9 betas have been out for a long time, so it's not like they haven't had time to prepare.

""They have an interesting rating system. It ends up representing the fact that all this performance and fuel efficiency comes out of a car that can seat 7 people. The variant that does 0-60 quicker and gives you AWD gives you better energy consumption. Things like these are what blew up their scale.""

A few weeks ago (a month ago ?) BMW released the spec sheet / announcement for the new 7 series. And it's just sad.

I'm not even sure who it is for ... people who don't use the Internet ? People who don't read news ? You've got a car that is substantially better in almost every conceivable category (it generates all wheel drive with two different motors, for instance) ... and the press release for the 7 series is going on and on about how advanced their new engine is and bragging about their (laughable, in light of the model S) 0-60 time.

Basically it's 20 pages of "blah blah not electric blah blah". It's painful to look at.

OBLIGATORY: Not a huge Model S fan, at least in terms of size (not really a full sized four door) and interior appointment (which is amazingly sparse and devoid of options compared to 7/A8/S) ... and further, would much prefer a 7 series or Panamera on a fully-electric platform. But we don't have that, so I guess we have to settle for "the best car we've ever tested".[1]

Everyone's Confused About Jack U and Justin Bieber's Song – Where Are U Now
I see your point, but after having coded a full (minor) project in Go, i can assure you that those two points alone (cumbersome array data structure and lack of generic code) made me rethink twice about using this language for the common "web service for CRUD to DB" use.

Then i tried to see how did go data access layer libraries look and it finished to convince me not to use it unless performance and memory usage were a crucial matter.
In highschool, grade 11 computer science I got 101% end of year grade; the average of the class was 100%: the person who got 99% was barely in class however completed their assignments, and I got 101% because I would quickly finish my assignments and then was happy and excited to help others if they were running into trouble. I quite wish my other classes were scored that way as well... TL;DR There's nothing wrong giving credit where credit is due.

Defense contractors aren't the most efficient manufacturers. Wouldn't surprise me if they shipped the vehicle from SC to Oshkosh to have the tires installed. But it was probably some of the mine detection equipment. They usually ship parts or vehicles all over in the process of manufacturing. For example, a microprocessor component might go through about 20 different organizations after it is originally purchased, getting modifications from each, before being installed in the final project. Makes source determination near impossible when there is a defect.

EDIT: The Pearson Engineering PEROCC is pretty cool too. Adds a third seat for a gunner.

This looks great! I've been looking for a good alternative to replace Vanilla Forums for a while. I think I'll hold off until Flarum stabilizes, since it seems like a natural replacement as well as a substantial upgrade!

One question:

I would recommend Michael Snoyman's book on yesod (http://www.yesodweb.com/) to get a practical understanding specially from a crud perspective. I found this book to be very helpful: http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1230000000929/pr01.htm...

For me, using yesod has been quite a revelation. All of the errors in db operations get caught during my cabal build. This link https://github.com/yesodweb/yesod/wiki/ghci is something i used to test my db code all within the repl cycle after setting some pg env variables. All in all, its way smoother than many other environments i have worked with.
Well, because writing a compiler is pretty hard, and I would like to not juggle pointers to arrays of pointers while doing it. C wastes your time, basically. And a C-like language is profoundly unexciting, at least to me; I can almost see the assembly lying underneath.
I'm happy that I found this and pissed that I didn't find it earlier.

Looking forward to testing it. The fact that it works with Clojure is bad ass by itself.

"For example, in the OO world you hear a good deal about "patterns". I wonder if these patterns are not sometimes evidence of case (c), the human compiler, at work. When I see patterns in my programs, I consider it a sign of trouble. The shape of a program should reflect only the problem it needs to solve. Any other regularity in the code is a sign, to me at least, that I'm using abstractions that aren't powerful enough - often that I'm generating by hand the expansions of some macro that I need to write." from http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html

>reach 20% - 30% by of the blogging platform market

In 2 years? That's crazy talk. Why would that happen?

It's not as WordPress users have issues with it and are actively looking for alternatives. In fact they're more or less happy with it.

Ghost would only appeal to the more minimalist crowd, who cared that the source was cleaner etc (and I'm assuming it is, for it can also be just a jangled mess of JavaScript instead of PHP).
I don't see why it would be difficult for hosting providers to adopt Node on their servers. They're already doing this offering VPS and the likes.

Also, I don't see why there wouldn't be a viable Node blogging platform that could be as user-friendly and as easy as WP if not much more. This definitely is very doable and Ghost and Co promised to achieve to do that but they failed yet to make any meaningful impact on the market.
I'm an automotive engineer, if a system can recover kinetic energy and use it for propulsion, we call it a hybrid. KERS is absolutely a hybrid system, they are just optimized for power instead of energy.

The real pedantic question is does predictive cruise control count as a momentum hybrid.
The isolation delays are mostly for political reasons rather than technical ones. Per tab isolation will necessarily kill off most of the legacy addon apis (XPCOM and XUL) and make firefox addons more restricted like chrome ones.

I agree completely!
PHP was cool in the pre-SaaS era, where the only "cloudy" thing was renting webspace or server. You had to install and manage your Wordpress and co. yourself.

I think >99% of the people who wanted a website (blog/forum/etc) had to call an IT guy to get this running.

Now they just have to register for a SaaS and the most technical they have to do, is linking their domain to it.

Water Train, INC. is not trying to solve the drought. They are trying to make money.

There are people out in the Central Valley who don't have running water any more and are relying on very expensive bottled water for every thing. ( http://www.kmph-kfre.com/story/26395402/valley-drought-2014-... )

I operate under the principle of common sense. Why so many posts about a tiling window manager, and why xmonad and not i3, ratpoison, or dwm? Because it was written in Haskell and was thus being used as a vehicle to aggressively (if ineffectively) push the language on people. As for dons, he's posted plenty of xmonad crap here and on proggit, where he also happens to be a mod.
I like the fact that Flarum has an html-only version for browsers with disabled javascript, but it seems to be an alternate implementation, not the same content with less interactivity as it would be expected - it shows much less information and doesn't seem to have feature parity with the interactive version.

This means that the software will only be usable from interactive sessions on "standard" mainstream browsers, and won't be easy to integrate with batch-processing tools (like web scrappers or data warehousing) or non-standard environments (anything enabled for the semantic web or developers creating handcrafted personal scripts to enhance their workflows). Classic "static" forums don't suffer from such limitations, being based on simple html and having predictable navigation structures.

Having driven both a 7 Series and a Model S, I'll take the BMW any day. More comfortable, better handling, looks better, doesn't have a huge iPad in the dashboard, and allows road trips with far less planning needed. It's nice that the tesla has insane acceleration, but in practice that's not super useful. And gas is a small enough part of my budget that it's not material so that isn't really a factor.
Some window managers on linux describe this as "sticky windows".

If someone has programs open for multiple different tasks, and also runs a [ chat program/music player/calendar/email watcher/network monitor/temperature monitor/generic note-taking program/etc.etc.etc. ] on a second monitor (or if one's monitor is big enough, on some empty space there), then there is no reason whatsoever to use virtual desktops right now.

This is due to the inability to keep watch on any of these "global state" programs without switching between desktops, since the user now is forced to actively switch to look at them, instead of just being able to look to the left.

No, it wasn't you :)

I have two issues with your argument. The first is the (implied, I think) assumption that C-H is the only way to apply math to programming languages. I think C-H has so far disappointed, because 1., people don't seem to want it, and 2. because other verification systems (like KeY) or the verifiable imperative, reactive real-time languages of the eighties (like Esterel) whose descendants are still in use today, have so far been used to much better effect.

The second is the assumption that by virtue of being well-studied an academic field would somehow prove a good fit with human psychology. That demands some empirical results which, again, are so far very disappointing.

> So I tend to take the bet that in the long run PLs and mathematics will converge

If by that you mean that the C-H approach will win, I'm happy to take that bet.

I believe that over the past 15 years, the relative usage of Haskell by developers has only decreased (the number of people using Haskell has grown less than the total growth in the number of programmers, much due to JavaScript and the web), and even though I could be wrong about that (I basically made it up :)), it's not too far from the truth.

Don't get me wrong, there are certainly academic influences (coming from C-H languages) on mainstream, or hopefully-mainstream languages (Rust is a clear example), but I don't see any signs of a trend towards adopting C-H as a basic language design philosophy.
> Listen man the best UI and UX comes from not having the stuff get in your way.

You should spend some time reading Emotional Design [1].

Only amateurs to design think it is all about usability and minimizing complexity.

The real ROI from a talented designer is a product that creates an emotional connection with the user. Just look at Apple products: people attach their identity to the products - that's how powerful the design of the product can be.

The design (which includes the technical capabilities) can extend beyond just a simple tool providing utility to something which is a memorable pleasant experience - which you want to keep using.

Companies you can achieve the above are the ones who are incredibly successful i n the tech industry. Design is not always obvious - so people easily miss the cause/effect. And achieving it is not all about a flashy gradient or trendy flat design. It's a complex extremely well thought-out user experience. Take a phone's UX for example, from opening the package, to how it's used daily, to the times you need to plug it in while half-asleep next to your bed.

None of that can be summarized as just "getting out of your way", it's about providing the best experience as a result of optimizing the hundreds of small interactions involved in using the product.

>> This could impede our quest to bring about gender equality.

No, it should inform our quest to bring about gender equality. We should be hiring people based on who they are as an individual, and not because of their gender or some quota, right? So if it's a fact that gender brings with it a tendency to be better / worse at different things, we shouldn't ignore it. Knowing the difference can help us measure when a statistical difference is explainable with gender-related tendencies, and when it's clearly because of discrimination. Trying to force a 50/50 split in cases where gender-related tendencies are significant seems silly to me.

edit: I do, however, agree that just dismissing something as "women are different" is bad, because people often fail to take into account what is an inherent chromosomal difference and what is because of stereotypes that people grew up with. So let's distinguish between biases and facts, but facts should not be considered "dangerous". It's what we do with the facts that matters.
I was thinking about this concept abstractly (deviations from the norm evolutionarily). I'm not trying to dispute the data you have here, but rather play the devil's advocate to propose an alternative theory which might contradict the data. I'll preface this by saying I already know the (correct and definitive) rebuttal to this line of thought, but it's fruitful to mention the problem nonetheless.

Men are the risky sex, relative to the propagation of the gene lineage. Men have a higher chance of not reproducing either as a result of sexual competition or death, but also the capability of reproducing many times in the proper scenario. Why does it make sense for men to be more variable? Why aren't women the variable sex?

Females get a huge advantage in reproduction of their genes: they are the gatekeeper of the gene line. An undesirable female will probably still reproduce, whereas an undesirable male probably won't. Why aren't females extremely variable instead of males? Females could biologically "get away" with extreme (but viable) variation because they're practically guaranteed to reproduce anyway. Males being extremely variable merely results in a lot of detritus at the edges-- wasted energy from the perspective of the parents / gene line. Isn't there an evolutionary pressure against wasteful reproduction?
No, I know that, but there were in 1989 (hence the "were allowed" as opposed to "are allowed")
