Well, a Java 1.3 application isn't going to be a new application - usually a legacy application which has a lot of custom libraries built specifically for that version of Java, and would require significant effort to bring the codebase up to date in terms of running on a modern platform. At my company, one of our most used internal applications runs on 1.3 - it's an application which allows user-made plugins, however we don't have the source for the main application, which means we're stuck maintaining a 1.3 system.

As an aside, J2EE is quite good and very prevalent in enterprise, JBoss, GlassFish, Tomcat, etc...

> That is to say, there is no cultural practice of "finger binary".

... That you know of. When did you memorize the exhaustive list of all cultural practices?

> Finger binary is not a "thing" that's "out there".

... In your social circle. If someone mentions a programming language you've never heard of, do you immediately decry them as having "made it up"?

I was taught finger binary several years ago as a way of counting the WPM of speeches. The method I use puts the LSB on the index finger, and involves tapping a table rather than forming a fist, in order to count more quickly. I have since taught several others. This certainly qualifies it as a cultural practice that's "out there."

The condition is prosopagnosia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosopagnosia and the wiki page says Saks himself suffered from it. It is not that rare, though many people that have it just think they are "bad with faces" or have bad memory when recognizing faces (even though otherwise their memory may be excellent). Many people that have it learn to "route around" it by explicitly memorizing facial cues (hairstyle, facial features, hair color) or other cues (clothing style, voice, body characteristics, etc.) and going off context ("if I meet this person in the office, this is one of my coworkers"). If the person is encountered out of context and in unusual attire/situation, they may not have enough clues to trigger recognition - so if somebody you know doesn't recognize you on the street, maybe they are not necessarily rude or avoiding you but maybe just have some prosopagnosia. :)
I personally don't have as much of an issue with the diagnosis of ADD as I do with the definition. I think the weak, unscientific definition drives the misdiagnosis.

I believe that in the future, the medical community will have a better understanding of the many things that can cause ADD, and the diagnosis of "primary ADD" will mostly be replaced by other diagnoses.

I have no idea if most of these will be depression/anxiety diagnoses or not. I was just talking about my own, very limited experience.

> Unfortunately ADD is not just another overmedicalized normal condition.

I actually do think it might be overmedicalized in children. I grew up with many children who would be diagnosed with it today, but weren't at the time. Whether they had it or not, they grew into functioning adults without ADD.
So that's why my editor is not changed at all after using Hack, I feel guilty blaming my editor, I thought it's broken.
My understanding of professional ADD diagnoses is that they look at the diagnostic criteria, ask whether the patient fits, and then make the diagnosis. It's not like there's an objective test.

Do you disagree? What makes it more difficult for someone to self diagnose than for a professional?
Just choose "No, I don't want to participate in the customer experience improvement program".

But that would spoil the fun of these "spying" stories on Forbes and the like.

Funny how Forbes hides the site navigation behind a hamburger menu even for desktop browsers. And scrolling down loads new content and auto-switches you to a different URL. It's so clunky and awful, one can only guess at the design decisions behind such a cluster-fk. Suddenly the content at the top is not there and you're on a new page, just from scrolling down a bit. I guess this is another example of mobile first gone wrong.

That doesn't opt you out of the majority of things.
You're right. I'm trying to do something small first. I have many ideas by now, some big, they will come to life in the near future.
Instead of opting out of Windows, why not just opt out of the customer experience improvement program?

It's not hard. Instead of "yes", choose "no".
I'm loving it too. Most of my games run in Linux, and for the rest of them, Wine runs then surprisingly well. I'm on Debian Jessie.
1 kg of fat is about 7700 calories. So if you are in deficit by 1100 calories per day, then you should lose about 1 kg of fat. Assuming that you have a base metabolism of 2000 calories per day (average for a male of average size), and say you did an hour of moderate aerobic exercise (like jogging) every day (600 calories per day), the with a diet of 1500 calories, you should find yourself losing about 1kg a week on average.

If you are not losing any weight with the above, then the potential explanations are:

- You are in ultra efficiency mode: In other words, you are burning only 900 calories a day.

- You are not running an hour a day.

- You are not eating 1500 calories a day.

Let's say you are 70 kg. It takes 1 calorie of energy to raise 1 kg of water by 1 degree. You are roughly 15 degrees above ambient temperature. Thus it takes 1050 calories to raise your temperature from ambient to body temperature. It is highly unlikely that your body will be able to maintain body temperature for an entire day on 900 calories.

Thus, the only other explanation are the other two.
I did the same a week ago - First tried Mint Rafaela with Cinnamon and this week I got free time to tryout Arch. Turns out their wiki is amazing and with a little google-fu I managed to install GNOME and any other application I might need.

I honestly don't miss anything from Windows. I used to game a lot but that changed and the few games I still play can either be accessed with Play on Linux or have their own port.

And what's even funnier is that most of apps nowadays have a web version (Skype, Spotify) so I really avoid meddling with emulating Windows for a good while.

Yep, that would be another way to get relatively useless results, since protein metabolism is not at all energy efficient compared to carbs or fats.

So if caloric intake is kept constant at say 1500 but protein makes up a large proportion, "usable" calories is actually much smaller.

Only 12 people got the actual drug, and their performance was only degraded 10%. This is an interesting theory with a little evidence but hardly "stops you from recognizing other people's emotions", and may be just noise from the small sample.
It opts you out of the telemetry being discussed here. Says so right there on the MS support note for the update.

If you have evidence to suggest that's not true, then let's have it. Otherwise, all you're doing is making vague statements without backing them up.

Instead of people dying, everyone just loses all their credit and savings. That is until someone shuts down a dam and opens all the flood gates, or shuts off the power grid to a city, shut down airport flight tracking (or make planes show up where they are not), etc.

Cyber war seems almost scarier than a "real" war - because it almost exclusively targets civilians instead of combatants.

Well it's easy enough to block Mixpanel, GA, etc. But details seem to be unclear on exactly how you block everything Windows does. During the technical preview, I noted that even the group policy settings to disable things like web search simply did not work - all my searches were still sent off.

MS has had Customer Improvement Programs for quite a while, but most of them were opt-in. The shift to not offering opt-out and making things deliberately vague and confusing is what people are upset about.

Also, just because many startups do bad things doesn't excuse Microsoft. Especially due to Microsoft's size and influence, "if you don't like it, don't use it" doesn't always apply like it might to startups.

Obligatory IANAL, and if you are then go ahead and school me, but:

That's not the usual interpretation of the CFAA, which holds that accessing the publicly served pages of a webserver is not accessing a "protected computer". Perhaps if such access were in violation of a Terms of Service or a Cease and Desist letter there would be an argument, but the CA DMV has no terms of service that I could find.

The only sections that apply to a non-protected computer are (6) and (7):

(6) knowingly and with intent to defraud traffics (as defined in section 1029) in any password or similar information through which a computer may be accessed without authorization, if—

(A) such trafficking affects interstate or foreign commerce; or

(B) such computer is used by or for the Government of the United States;

(7) with intent to extort from any person any money or other thing of value, transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any—

(A) threat to cause damage to a protected computer;

(B) threat to obtain information from a protected computer without authorization or in excess of authorization or to impair the confidentiality of information obtained from a protected computer without authorization or by exceeding authorized access; or

(C) demand or request for money or other thing of value in relation to damage to a protected computer, where such damage was caused to facilitate the extortion;

I am neither attempting to defraud nor extort anyone, so... no CFAA violation.

I am an "Infrastructure Engineer" by job title, but really I am a jack of all trades. Many people working in small business need to wear many hats.

You can be deep on a single area (specialist) or be spread out (generalist). Larger businesses want specialists, small business want generalists.

Personally I am a generalist. I deal with security, servers, routers, switches, applications, laptops, Operating Systems, Backup, Databases, etc. I write code in python, java and starting to get better with go. Its a handful and I am always juggling things, but I also think that broad knowledge helps things. I understand TCP/IP because I wrote a TCP/IP stack. I feel I have a better understanding of the complex systems as I have a non trivial understanding of each part.

Its a very different working situation, but it has its advantages and I dread ever going back to a large corporate because of it. It isn't as efficient compared to having a team of specialists, where everyone can spend 100% on their speciality, but on the other hand, you can often do things with surprisingly small teams.

It is still useless for me if you have struct with 'packed' attribute
ie: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/fs/btrfs/ctree.h#L220

// +build ignore
package tmp
/*
#include <btrfs/ctree.h>
*/
import "C"
// 220 struct btrfs_disk_key {
// 221 __le64 objectid;
// 222 u8 type;
// 223 __le64 offset;
// 224 } __attribute__ ((__packed__));
type BtrfsDiskKey C.struct_btrfs_disk_key

Output:

$ go tool cgo -godefs test.go
// Created by cgo -godefs - DO NOT EDIT
// cgo -godefs test.go
package tmp
type BtrfsDiskKey struct {
Objectid	uint64
Type	uint8
Pad_cgo_0	[8]byte
}

After all the experiments I created my own helper[1], which helps map C structure(even packed) to Go structure using reflect package.

The distinction between axiom and assumption is quite clear, so I'll assume you are referring to premise.

The distinction already exists, which is the beauty of words. I am not making this distinction up. I am merely enforcing them as we do as speakers by the words we choose, based on the accuracy of our expressions.

From Popper:

> A theoretical system may be said to be axiomatized if ... (d) necessary, for the same purpose; which means that they should contain no superfluous assumptions [0].

So either Popper is wrong, or theories should not include unnecessary assumptions. But how do we know if an assumption is necessary without doing the science? And after we do it, are we still going to call necessary assumptions assumptions, even with its subjective implications? Only a person is capable of assuming. A theory with assumptions is still subjective.

A premise on the other hand is objective and specific. It's "a proposition supporting or helping to support a conclusion" [1]. It's a simple device in logic that asserts a dependency. Or in other words, a "necessary assumption".

So then would it not be safer to say axiomatized theories have premises, not assumptions? And in Popper's words, yet to be axiomatized theories have assumptions. That is what makes them hypotheses. And so all the words and their distinctions fall cleanly into place (I did not make anything up).

The original article in Nature was written on the premise that science is based on assumptions and that scientists doing the science rely on assumptions. This is not the premise of science, and is incorrect. Refining our word selection to reflect this understanding would be of great service, particularly to the students.
