I very much like how Guix is just a Guile Scheme library and can itself be integrated with other Scheme code. There is, for example, guix-web, a web interface to the package manager; there also is an Emacs interface using geiser.

Using Guile has turned out to be a great feature in itself and it is still fueling the development of new features that otherwise would be awkward to implement, such as the new "guix graph" command to visualise dependencies.
I don't mean untenable as in it should be shut down, but untenable in that people are about to start having treatment withheld do to lack of funds. Given that medicare is already considered simply a supplemental insurance program, there are already people suffering from a lack of available resources.

As for trusting the CBO, if you can't trust their accounting, there's literally no one else you could trust.
There's something nice about a Master's thesis being developed on the master branch.
It's interesting and I will keep it bookmarked for occasional use, but the classification into emotional, social and writing tones seem very arbitrary. At least part of the problem is that it seems to be working on single words, most of which are weighted more toward one classification or another based on aggregate use rather than any real context. Tools like this rarely seem to do any analysis at the phrase level, even though phrases of two or three words often contribute significant substantive or structural context. This is odd considering that we already have techniques for identifying statistically improbable phrases as intermediate lexical units (often used for detecting plagiarism).

Is anyone aware of work going on in this area? I'm quite interested in lexical analysis, but I'm wary of investing a lot of time just to reinvent the wheel.

The traditional capitalist view of human productivity is misanthropic and authoritarian. It makes sense if you want to justify hierarchical relationships and reduce the autonomy of the masses.

There ought to be plenty of engineers and programmers on HN. They should know how valuable autonomy and meaning is to our productivity. This is universal: Everyone likes doing good work and doing exactly the right amount of work. No one likes working too little or working needlessly much. Yet, we live in a society where the politicians start honking like geese when there 'aren't enough jobs'. That's like saying there aren't enough bugs for me to fix. When the work's done right, there's no work to be done and we move on to something new. Not so in our system. When the work's done, you better find more work or you will fall into calamity and you will have deserved it. When you tie all human existence to producing value for your boss, work becomes a slavish social contract and not the means by which human beings improve the world for ourselves and each other.

Trust people, and they act trustworthy. Respect people, and they act respectable. Give people the trust and respect required to give them autonomy in their work, and they will do amazing things for themselves and you. The most lovely software I work with is produced for free, and it tends to be amazingly good work, done from a position of respect, trust, and generosity.

I'm sure many people are tired of my lefty whinging about capitalism, but the longer I live, the more it doesn't make sense for my personal productivity or fulfillment. I'm pretty tired of having a sword hanging by a thread over my head in a cynical attempt to make me 'be a productive member of society'. It makes me less productive! It makes me less happy! I'm tired of having to see everyone whose labor goes into the comfort of my life as a greedy adversary who would destroy me if this system weren't around to 'protect me'.
The reboots were because Amazon cuts a lot of corners in their Xen setup because instances are supposed to be "disposable". A proper VM cluster would use dedicated storage nodes that export over something like iscsi, which would require just transferring a memory snapshot, or would use the native, slower, disk snapshotting migration. But that's just one of many ways AWS is rather broken from an operations standpoint.

"I don't see a reason for this, so you shouldn't be allowed to do it."

Not very good reasoning. It's not exactly on point, but I'm reminded of a quotation from G. K. Chesterton:

> In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”

Would love to see a blog post detailing this.
Austrian Economics gives you super power
I agree that there's plenty of scope to make money there, but I don't understand at all the reported hysteria about "this is a threat to the economy of England". No it isn't.
Heh. Makes sense, as people tend to speed up their speech when they're nervous, and become nervous in response to deliberate speech modulation of the sort you describe.

To the GP I'm sure you could 're-tone' many messages, but as presented here the results would likely be unsatisfactory. Doing so effectively would require second- and third-order analysis and now you're getting into Hard Problems.
The Rise of Armchair Marketing
I think you've laid out why corruption and fraud should always be a high priority to fight even when they are a low cost. Fraud is corrosive, and when left unchecked will expand. If a dentist can get away with 50 fake treatments at a nursing home one year, why would he shoot for 100 fake treatments the next, thus doubling his portion of the fraud.

Which is exactly what you've described in Africa. If a general can divert 20% of the aid to his offshore account one year, why would he shoot for 40% the next?
Total lifetime earnings is a great way to measure success, from the perspective of how the 7 billion people on this planet, minus you, value your work. If you value your own work differently, that's fine, but yours will be the minority opinion.

No, that approach largely misses the point. I agree with you about the problem of young people not knowing what they are getting into, and entirely agree that people should do other work before committing to a lot of education (the "real world" distinction is false). In fact the first advice I would give almost anyone considering graduate school is: do something else first.

But lifetime earnings is a terrible metric for success. It's a pretty good metric for what other people are willing to pay for your time, sure. And it absolutely is something you should think about in how you structure your life. And it absolutely is something a lot of young people do not think about enough.

Fundamentally, money is a tool that constrains the choices you have. For most people, acquiring it also constrains the choices you have. These things are unavoidably in some tension.

Most people I know would be happy to get paid more for what they are currently doing. Far fewer would be nearly as happy to get paid significantly more for the types of significant changes it would make in their lives, considering only the real options they actually have.

Most, if not all, of the people I know who are happiest with how things have worked out are not on track to anywhere near their maximum possible lifetime earnings. Several people I know who are near that track are miserable (not all, by any means).

The reason for this is that most people will have or can make the opportunity at some time in their lives to earn more money in exchange for things like: much more responsibility, much more stress, much less "free" time, much more travel, much less interesting or rewarding work, etc. The reason this comes up so often is that one of the the things the 7 billion people on this planet often are willing to pay your for is to do stuff that they would really rather not have to, things that are fairly objectively not much fun. If you can find fulfillment in it, all the power too you.

Trying to measure success this way ignores most of what is fundamentally important in a life. You're far better off looking at how you've managed to balance your own goals and your ability to make those happen.

It can be hard when you are twenty-two and trying to figure this stuff out, but one part of growing up is realizing that there isn't any universal yardstick or best path, and you have to work out your own path.
For a brief period I had a server that polled Twitter and updated a .plan file from my tweets, simply because I could, but that was two or three Twitter API versions ago and I've also been using fewer and fewer unix boxen since then.

Take a ride on the Chihuahua Express
I have trouble reconciling this with my personal experiences - I did keto for several months and lost about 25 pound until I hit a plateau that I couldn't get past after trying for over two weeks, eating the same diet as before, and I know with certainty I was WELL below my maintenance caloric intake.

> You will lose weight, it can not be any other way

I wonder if maybe the logical impossibility people are having trouble with is maybe from not differentiating between calories consumed and calories absorbed?
They aren't really in the business of limiting access to your credit report, thats just a bug in the system that they have to work around.

"That E-Mail is from 2007..."

Yes, people have repeated that line since 2008. Readers certainly saw the timestamp. It was main Q&A and search result, though. Hence asking for modern post.

"This is from 2013"

And that's a start. Appreciate the link. I don't see many of his interviews but that was the first one I saw him admit to being behind. Good they're changing their attitude a bit.

The expected and somewhat disappointing part is when he has no answer to what can be done to raise the bar past a few exploit mitigations. There's something like four decades of work (and worked examples) showing how to increase assurance of security in hardware, software, and systems. Especially in capability, microkernels, static analysis, covert channel analysis, and so on. He could... idk... apply some of that instead of mock and ignore it like most mainstream does. FreeBSD is ahead here with SEBSD and Capsicum work.

One project did port OpenBSD to L4 kernel to isolate it in a protection domain. The idea, as in Nizza Security Architecture, is to be able to split system into legacy, untrusted stuff in VM and trusted, highly-assured components running directly on microkernel. A proven model that would benefit OpenBSD by dramatically reducing attack surface. This is done in embedded space (eg INTEGRITY, PikeOS Hypervisor) for up to 8 ISA's each for those wondering about portability.

Just one of dozens of techs to draw on to increase assurance. Will be interesting to see if they draw on any of this or get left behind [again] by those that do.
That can dramatically affect the shapes involved. For example, if you try the same thing on a rectangular Euclidean grid, then you'll find that the 'circle' through two adjacent points has only four points!

(Of course, as you say, the error involved can be made 'small', in some sense, by making the grid suitably fine; but at that point, with such a simple metric as the taxicab one, it's not clear to me what you're gaining over just looking at the entire plane all at once.)
There's framerate and then there's framerate (heh).

You want to be able to respond to the user's head movements as fast as possible--16ms max (which is 60FPS), but even at that point some rare people get sick. At 11ms, the number of people who get sick drops so dramatically that Valve claims they haven't met anyone yet who does get sick. But clearly, the lower, the better. Some people are claiming 8ms is "necessary"--I think calling it necessary is ludicrous--but I'm sure it would be an incredible experience.

How often the scene actually updates is besides that. You could animate the video on the sphere at 15fps and it's not going to make the user sick, as long as you can react to their head movements faster than that. That's kind of the point of the TimeWarp feature that the Oculus Rift provides. You render the scene larger than the Rift is capable of displaying, and then the display driver shows different subsets of it based on the latest motion data, regardless of how old the frame actually is. It's not perfect, but it makes up for a lot of sins.
It can't give "meaningful names" without real context, which it doesn't have. Slightly longer names that are easier to read? Sure.
> it will eliminate unused code even from third party libs like jquery and do all sorts of stuff that make the beautified code very expensive to understand

To have that sort of optimisation you'll have to run the Closure compiler with ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS enabled.
Last time I checked that mode of compilation didn't work with JQuery and not with most other libraries. To use it with your own code you'll have to follow certain rules.

I think most people just use uglify or the Closure compiler in SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS, neither of which does the very advanced stuff of ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS.
bit pricey
Read it more closely; the document I linked is specifically about pushing functionality into the client.

"MVC frameworks, such as AngularJS, have been developed that enable client-side developers to build powerful and compelling UIs."

"This paper provides best practices and guidance to web developers who are interested in AngularJS or other client-side MVC technologies and want to optimize their server backend for these technologies."

"The growing popularity of client-side MVC frameworks such as Backbone.js and AngularJS is representative of this shift to the client. These frameworks help reduce complexity and increase reuse in even the simplest of applications... As the UI moves to the client, the server becomes simpler."
I'm not sure I see the problem with "everything computes". If every physical process can be shown to be isomorphic with one or more computational algorithms, which seems like a very reasonable supposition at this point given what we know about emulation, then that is just the nature of things. It seems more like a useful insight than an unsatisfying answer.

We don't have to look far: almost the entire OSS movement is driven by purpose, not money. Sure, money _can_ be made afterwards if one so desires (cf RedHat), but it's not the primary motivator (in most cases). I wonder if any academics have done studies on the OSS movement and what drives the contributors.

Because being open (availability) spreads the same amount of liquidity across the clock. This decreases the available liquidity at any moment and thus generally increases volatility

If metabolism can vary by individual, why is it impossible for the metabolism for one individual to change over time? Serious question, I honestly don't know.
