Best approach imo would be a IDE which keeps the whole object-orientated approach as a purely developer-view only set of restrictiosns and allows to adapt the underlying datastructure to the algorithmic hottest spots in the code, while keeping from oo- only the component interfaces.

There are articles of incorporation, which are pretty necessary to avoid liability.
In this case it wasn't Visual studio but an extension created by Github that caused the problem.
Why be civil when you choose to continue your denial of facts?
Also, are business style corporate/internal apps going out of existent when they are faced with a fierce SaaS company competing for that business.

It's almost like the SaaS DNA is to move very quickly (break things) and react to customers.

If your developers cannot continuously deploy to their customers and make changes behind the scenes, how will your developers compete with a Slack?

Is your only value proposition data security?
It wasn't even visual studio but an extension created by github that caused the issue. Visual studio does not come with github integration by default
Visual studio does not integrate with Github. This was a 3rd party extension created by Github that this user installed and used.
>In the U.S. we are culturally taught that we are supposed to dislike our work, especially if it isn't prestigious. If you dance around and have fun at work in the U.S. people look at you weird and generally discourage any such thing. But there's no reason not to bother enjoying your time.

I can think of one: the same reason Steve Jobs paid himself $1 a year.

Managing incentives is tough. If you try and reward someone for a task, you may find the incentives at some point misaligned.

Let work be fun, and you open yourself to work being sacrificed to protect the fun.

Therefore: abolish fun.

I haven't made an eloquent case for it, but I think that's the reasoning, and I'm not sure it's wrong, frankly.
> Cases where one needs to maintain a complicated, dynamic graph are where a GC becomes useful. Similarly, if one is writing an interpreter for a GCd language, having a GC in Rust would simplify things a lot.

> Not to say that one should pervasively use a GC in Rust. Similar to Rc<T>, it’s best to use regular ownership-based memory management as much as possible, and sprinkle Rc/Gc in places where your code needs it.

Hopefully people heed this advice. My guess is it will not be a problem because most example code (and all of the docs) will not use Gc pervasively.
It's very much opt-in: if you don't want it, it's easy (and the default) to not use it.
> the question asked about the odds of the coin toss

No, the question asked about the outcome of the coin toss, which is much less likely to be Heads (1 wake) than Tails (2 wakes).
I think IBM really inspired people with Watson, but they have failed to productize it and now they are using "Watson" as a marketing label for any A.I. related technology at all -- be it something very good that they started work on years ago (Speech Recognition) or something really bad that they aquired like AlchemyAPI.
People who use filesystems like this seem to completely misunderstand what RAID is for. They seem to care about their data somewhat, which of course means they have off-site backups.

Given that they have reliable backups, redundancy is only useful to the extent that it improves uptime. Uptime is best maintained by eliminating single points of failure. Raid is a good first step, but at some point, creating a massive disk array on a single motherboard/cpu/disk-controller is anything but that. And they don't seem to be complaining of downtime.

Given that they have already achieved data safety, and don't care about uptime, the only reasonable explanation I can surmise is that they're confused.
I think the big difference is a the the iPod offered users a superior UI, a simple syncing experience, was vastly smaller, and weighed a ton less. What does the OnHub offer?

It offers a simplified setup - something you do extremely rarely. That's a lot different from a UI that you use every single day, a size and weight that change it from something non-pocketable to something easy to pocket, or a syncing interface that you might use weekly. Google is solving something that is annoying, but done so infrequently that it might not matter.

The iPod made music easy and portable which the nomad didn't. The OnHub has a cool setup process that I'll run once every 3 years?

It does have great specs, but the question is whether they help me. Seems like they don't help speed. AC1750 routers are more than enough for my 110mbps internet and can be had for less than half the price. Why not put a microphone and chromecast in it and make it a voice capable casting device? It has a dual core 1.4GHz arm processor with 4G of storage and a gig of ram.

The thing is that it solves something that is crappy, but that you almost never have to deal with and doesn't seem to offer a lot on other fronts. As someone doing the Boston apartment shuffle today, that's a crappy experience and I've done that more often than I've set up a router over the same period.

My hope is that it might push users away from the $40 routers to $100 ones. Google could price anchor people toward more expensive routers and that's good for Google with more reliable, fast connections. Google might also add more OnHub features in the future that might make it a lot more attractive, but I just don't see it solving ongoing pain points in the way that the iPod did. It solves something as rare as moving and just like I hired people to schlep my stuff, people can buy a router and give the neighborhood techie kid $20 to get it going.
Articles of incorporation are necessary to establish a corporation; they are separate from business licenses which are required, in many local jurisdictions, for most businesses (though a business that is a corporation will need both.)
Liability is a separate question though, you're allowed to run a business as a sole proprietor without any license if you want to (irrespective of whether or not that's a good idea).
stream.sh <video URL (preferably the embed URL)> <filename to download to (without extension)>
I'm having trouble finding the paradox here. As with many probability puzzles, the problem seems to be a hidden conditional in the probabilities.

There's no change in belief happening, only two different beliefs. First is "1/2 of the times it is flipped, the coin will be heads". Seconds is "1/3 of the times I am awakened, the coin will be heads". The coin flip is fair, but the decision to ask the question is biased.

This is extremely simple to demonstrate by resorting to the absurd case. If we change the awakening ratio away from 1-2, the absurdity of saying "1/2" becomes increasingly clear. At 1-9, tails will be the correct guess 90% of the time the question is asked. At 0-1, heads isn't even a possible outcome on awakening.

Or does anybody believe (enough) people will pay for streaming on youtube or similar pages?

> Don't ever check access keys into any repo, public, private or even self-hosted.

So, how do you propose to handle version control of your exact production configuration? Do you think that recording one's production configuration is a valuable (or even useful) technique? Do you propose to have a single file with production configuration relying only on point-in-time backups for history? That gets us back to the bad old days…

A local or self-hosted repo is 'a local location that's accessible only to youation that's accessible only to you.'
This article is a great read! The article makes it seem as though once you had a valid theoretical model implementation was actually easy, is that true? It sounds so simple it might even be implemented in tens of lines of Rust, or is there a lot of hidden complexity you skipped over in the article?

In your paragraph about rooting you mention how language support might enable a better implementation (using llvms rooting), but the approach you took sounds very solid. What is the disadvantage of the way you do it now?

Edit: just scrolled through the implementation, it really is as short as the article made it seem, just a couple hundred lines! Now I'm really curious to its performance compared for example with that of Java or Go.
I'm fairly certain this is a bug in the GitHub extension for Visual Studio (https://visualstudio.github.com/), not in Visual Studio itself.

It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: BSD is dying

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered BSD community when IDC confirmed that BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

You don't need to be the Amazing Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for BSD because BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for BSD. As many of us are already aware, BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.

Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that BSD has steadily declined in market share. BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, BSD is dead.
Just my luck. Purchased a subscription at full price 23 hours ago. Great to see this from them though.

It's interesting how you sometimes can't tell if you are awake or not, when you are sleeping, but you can ALWAYS tell if you're awake when you're awake. Looks like some faculties are working robustly when you are awake which aren't when you are asleep.

That said, I've had dreams where characters in my dream knew things I didn't, and even made fun of me. When I woke up, I realized that they were actually quite interesting, fully developed characters with their own personalities and knowledge! And they would develop over several months of dreaming. Sometimes I also awoke with a solution to a problem I had been thinking about the night before.

So... interesting!
Theo has been softening on x86 virt for a long time.

Additionally, he's still right. Don't rely on it to enforce security boundries (e.g. host untrusted systems and trusted systems on different tin) and his rant is totally congruent with virtualisation having a place in OpenBSD
Keep building it. Especially if it interests you. It interested you enough to start it in the first place! Just don't build it with the expectation that you'll garner fame or fortune.

I imagine a lot of people could use some kind of OSS sentiment detection, even if it's not perfect.

Interesting.

A huge issue with implementing this practically on a large scale is identity authentication. Without a modern, digital government, we can't hope to implement anything nearly this nice.

We need an Estonia-like PKI for the US. Taxes, forms, passports, voting... everything would be so much simpler.

(edit: besides teaching people how to use it, that is.)
>That was a claim made by the Eckankar[1] people, back in the 70's, I wanted to test.

I take it you were unable to reproduce any psychic claims! :)

If you could, it would be a trivial way to win $1M: http://web.randi.org/the-million-dollar-challenge.html The fact that the James Randi challenge has existed (in one form or another) since 1964, and no psychic in over half a century has ever passed the challenge, well, that should speak volumes about psychic/paranormal/parapsychology claims.

I also related it to Monty Hall in that one option is two options bundled together.

The options are not [Heads||Tails] but rather [Heads||Tails+Tails]. The Tails+Tails is like having the Car+Goat bundled as a single option.

Sleeping Beauty knows the coin is 50/50 but that if she is woken there is more opportunity to be woken during a Tails flip.

To show that it is biased in favor of Tails - the experiment must be repeated. It shows more readily if you increase the number of times she is woken if the coin lands on Tails, similar to how the Monty Hall problem becomes more intuitive when you increase the number of doors.

Instead of being woken 2 times - let's have her woken 1,000 times. Every time she is woken she is asked if the coin was Heads or Tails, with no recollection of her previous answers. She is given a dollar for every time she is correct. Should she guess Heads or Tails?

If she guesses Heads every time - she can only win $1. If she guesses Tails every time - she can win $1,000. If she alternates answers she can only win $500.

Well I did preface with unless…, but we are talking about the loss of people who start a STEM career and don’t finish. It is not an efficient use of resources to have people start a long career path and not finish. What has happened is more men are now dropping out so as a cohort they have the same chance of finishing as women.

As for why this is happening yes I agree with you that even men have figured out that the the whole STEM career path is nothing more than a Ponzi scheme designed to exploit idealistic young people. As someone who loves science this makes me so angry I can’t politely put it into words - by this I mean the running of science as a Ponzi scheme, not people realising this is the case.

Does the improved quality of life get locked up? Americans have developed pretty staggering wealth inequality in the last 3 or 4 decades, for example, but the material quality of life has greatly improved in the same period of time. More people own homes, more people have more and better cars, everyone has access to more entertainment outlets, etc. Yeah, Steve Jobs gets a diamond studded speedboat, but everyone else gets Iphones. It's not equal, but it does represent a significant improvement in material quality of life.
Is there an official Docker image for running Sandstorm? I'd like to play around with it without installing it directly nor standing up a separate VM.

I've also speculated in the past that Sandstorm would be something great to have on NASs of the QNAP, Synology variety... any progress in that direction?
There's actually a strong analogy to an extended Monty Hall here. Specifically:

1. Monty offers the challenge, and I pick door B.

2. Monty opens door C, showing a goat.

3. Monty asks if I want to switch. My odds of winning are now P(A) = 2/3, P(B) = 1/3.

4. My mom flips on the TV to see me play, but has missed my answers and only sees the state of the doors. What are her odds of guessing right?

Result: my mom's odds of winning are 1/2, even though the odds of a given door winning are not. There's a bias between the two doors, but her perspective is neutral - she's guessing which door has better odds, and that guess is unbiased.

As you say, this question is the reverse: the odds on the coin flip are unbiased, but my odds of being asked the question are biased towards one of the two outcomes.

Are there any YC-backed startups that are using ASP.NET?
I'm currently building the MVP with .NET. Everyone these days are writing in either Ruby or Python but .NET is what I've been working with for the past 10+ years, plus it's so scalable and robust that I don't want to switch to another stack. Are there any recent successful YC graduates who chose to build their product with .NET stack?
I've had lucid dreams on and off for several years. I remember one particular dream where I was visiting a friend, and he showed me a project he was working on in his back room. It was a hand-cranked machine that looked like a mashup of an astronomical orrery and an automatic transmission with the case taken off. Before I woke up, I was able to examine it for some time, and as far as I can recall, I could see each piece, in motion and interacting with its adjacent parts, with perfect resolution.

Now, the problem is that there was never an image of that machine on my visual cortex, so it must have originated somewhere further up the stack in some kind of symbolic form, which got used to synthesize the image I thought I was looking at. IMHO, it's a little bit backwards for my brain to have to repaint memories on an imaginary canvas so the little man in my head can look at them and reparse them over and over. (But apparently it does, and it's damned good at it.)
> It's technology's fault.

Its our fault, not technology's. Technology is just a tool; we've failed to properly address how it should be used.

"Ex-con" refers to "ex-convict", a former inmate in jail, not "ex-conviction", one who has been previously found guilty of a crime.
Using pervasive sharing in Rust is not the easiest route even with a perfect GC, e.g. one is forced to use types like RefCell and Cell anywhere that mutability is required, adding syntactic overhead, more restrictions (especially around threading), slight runtime overhead (mainly for the former; Cell "just" inhibits aliasing-based optimisations, while RefCell does that and stores & manipulates some extra integers) and runtime panics instead of compiletime errors, for RefCell.
If a lot of people use a model incorrectly, I think it's worth asking whether it's a bad model. E.g., "Good vs evil" is a popular model, but it leads to enough stupidity I don't think it unreasonable to say that is often applied without nuance.

If you would like a better source, take a look at Hallowell's work. His basic take is that ADHD is not a disease, but a trait:

http://www.drhallowell.com/add-adhd/

Of course, he's only a psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD and has written a half-dozen books on the topic, so I'm sure he's just lacking your subtle understanding of the perfection of the disease model. And probably a conspiracy theorist too; there are so many of those on the Harvard Medical School faculty.

And if you'd like more on how the disease model is misused, start with the literature on the medicalization of deviance:

It's unavoidable in a large project unless your build dependencies are down to the method level. Typically library targets don't supply a single method, they supply a file which has a number of methods, and not all of them are used.

But even in the case where you don't get dead stripping, you'll still get deferred code motion. And even if you don't get deferred code motion, you'll still get better renaming, because with type analysis, you can know which properties are disjoint from others.

At some point the argument gets into the "I don't need a C compiler, because I already write fast, efficient ASM code" territory. If your code base is perfectly gardened, ok, you don't need any compiler tools. The statistically likelihood of that situation remaining stable as your project ages and adds more developers approaches zero IMHO.
