"I think it's a canary. How many languages do you hear this said about?"

In general, I see "This new language I'm learning sucks because it needs to work more like the language I know best" for all kinds of languages. "Python needs to use braces instead of indentation." "$X needs to handle errors more like $Y." (lots of things can be filled in there!) Complaints about the dynamic/optional/static typing in a language. "Haskell may be pretty but isolating IO effects like that is impractical, it ought to work more like most languages."

No, it's not even remotely isolated to Go.
That makes sense. Using it as a victim cache seemed kind of odd, but I think it makes more sense now. It seems like it's a still evolving technology. I wonder if there are corresponding performance counters.
I'd suggest Darn Tough wool socks. Buy two of them per season if you want. They are guaranteed for life. No, they really are. Return them, and they send you new ones. My wife has returned them twice. I'm still on my first pair and I run and go backpacking. They are awesome. Plus, wool is one of the best materials for not stinking (anti-bacterial) so you don't even have to wash them (every time) if you leave them out to dry.
I've been waiting almost sixty years, have yet to see that message. Still trying.

Well there is a lot of old Scots law words in the legal document about how tenements work, but essentially it is mine. There is a "stair committee" which handles things like common repairs to the roof, stair, garden etc but it is all very consensual and decent.

The system isn't perfect. For properties that had no common committee there used to be the Statutory Notice system run by the council but that got abolished after a massive corruption scandal!

"Unfortunately..."

Can you be more specific? Irrespective of this project and its goals, I agree with the installation approach.

What is the impassable step?

Purchasing a RPi?

Using a program to copy an image to an SD Card? What if SD Cards with the image pre-installed were also available?

The RPi stays on unless someone unplugs it, so I trust that no one is going to claim "always on" is an issue. It does not even have a reset button like most consumer routers.

Setting up consumer routers involves plugging into a local network so I cannot imagine that is an issue either.

So what is it?

This image is a whopping 1GB and there is no link to source code. Without source code this is all but worthless. However I agree 100% with the distribution and installation method.

All computers, including routers, should boot from removable media. And users should get to choose what OS they run. Control. Who has it? Users have very little and what they have is continually being eroded.

If users want more control over what internet companies are allowed to do, then this is the way forward.

What do others think?

I wonder if there's jargon in the intelligence services that's classified?
Where goroutines have helped me a lot is with networking code. The part of the system I'm writing in Go controls several instances of three different kinds of networked services, plus one command line tool.

There are hundereds of tasks that request access to these services. The job of my Go code is to schedule, rate limit and coordinate access by these tasks to the network services.

I did parts of it in C++ initially (because other parts of the system are written in C++) using queues and timers (could have done the same in Java) and then I rewrote it in node.js but wasn't happy with the asychronous design or with my productivity.

So I think the reason why goroutines and channels have helped me so much is specific to this kind of project. Go's other language features (or lack thereof) wouldn't have enticed me into taking a closer look. But now that I have taken a closer look, I do like the library and tools a lot as well.

To sum it up, if a program is basically a ton of loops doing blocking reads and writes that depend on each other, then goroutines and channels make the code look very similar to the idea. Mental load drops. Life is easier.

That's true of nearly every language. "Passed by reference" is almost non-existant in reality, there's only "Pass by value copy" and "pass by copy of the reference" in most cases. The nature of structured programming and the way parameters come in to functions all but forces this; if you have a real function call (that is, not inlined), the reference has to be a copy.

There's a few interesting exceptions to this, but they're very much exceptions.

For sure, but we're not counting votes, we discussing policy. In the case of discussion the goal is to hear many sides and opinions of the merits and drawbacks of an issue. Just like how in an election non-voting minors can still participate in debate, in a discussion of policy I think we should still hear the opinions of others.

Cancer is a widespread cause of death, but unfortunately "cancer" is a very broad category. Just because two illnesses are both classified as cancer doesn't mean they'll respond to the same drugs/treatment. We're finding a lot more success with tailored approaches than creating new drugs.

I think one of the most promising approaches to treatment is discussed here: http://www.ted.com/talks/jay_bradner_open_source_cancer_rese...

Fodor &co have arguments for their position. The simplest explanation isn't the best explanation if it's wrong. And in any case, there's no obvious sense in which connectionist architectures are simpler than classical ones.

When I see stats like this, or like the 400MM users/40 devs, that WhatsApp had at one point, I can't help but think back to, say, 1985. What would it take to develop and scale a software product to that number of users?

I worked for MultiScope in 1991. We had to order discs and have disc labels printed, copy the compiler onto the discs, have manuals and boxes printed, stuff and shrink-wrap the boxes, ship to Ingram Micro for distribution, and then wait 2-4 weeks for our product to show up on the shelves at Egghead. I recall 5 developers, and we were ecstatic to ship 4,000 copies of a major new version.

That gets me thinking in terms of leverage. The leverage that 2015 Internet technology affords a single developer is a potent economic force.
You're setting an impossible precondition.

Nobody is ever going to give the homeless people sufficient aid; not only does it create peculiar incentives / traps at the margin, but it also isn't necessarily what homeless people would choose with their own free will. Not everyone willingly chooses to live in an institutional bureaucratic system when a freer life is still a possibility.

Refugees should be allowed to work. Finding homes for them and subsidising them without letting them work is a dreadful approach which will create even more problems.
I would like all the g8 countries including Russia China and Japan to accept their proportion of refugees. And also work deliberately to resolve the issues affecting the home countries. You can't just standby and hope the violence just miraculously disappears one day. It's going to take military confrontation and there will be casualties but waiting and standing by will result in greater casualties.

Thanks for the kind words. I've thought about blogging my progress, but I have an irrational fear that people will be less likely try BugMuncher if they know of my mission, as they may think BugMuncher will shut down if I'm unable to earn a living from it by the time my runway runs out. Which of course isn't the case I'd just pick up some more freelance work again.

Maybe I'll set up a personal blog to write about my progress.

National Parks can still get developed on, they aren't kept in aspic. UK National Parks are fairly unique in that they often contain substantial settlements, and as such need to change over time.
Covering them completely in concrete is obviously a bad thing but providing the ability for local people to still live there (as any population is liable to grow), offer more facilities for people to enjoy the park etc is surely a good thing.
This seems potentially dangerous to me. As someone with experience dealing with refugees, they often go through untold horrors in their journey. They often need counselling, friendship, purpose (often in the form of employment). It's good that they have this "refugee buddy" concept but it's not clear to me from their website if there is adequate support for the volunteer if they have to deal with these needs.

Each volunteer should consider carefully if they are able to meet these needs and fill these roles (triply so if you have children).

If everything works out, this could be very rewarding for everyone. If not, it could be catastrophic.
Applied force in their homelands - often at our (the West's) hands - is exactly what is driving many of these migrants.

Google Self-Driving Cars' Biggest Enemy: Human Error
Any inferring is being done by the ad company, not the advertiser.

And framing this as discrimination (a loaded term nowadays) is just more hyperbole, IMO. People of different races, orientations, religions etc are very likely to view different things as relevant, and at the end of the day, relevance is what any advertising company's mission in life is.

Best of all, it's all supposed to be data driven, so those nasty human biases don't even creep in. If demographic X clicks on a thing more than demographic Y, at the end of the day, that is what matters, and we can sidestep any discussions of bias, regardless if the demographic under consideration is young/old, black/white, atheist/religious, rich/poor, male/female.

Soon Dart will replace Javascript.
What people don't always understand is outside of the tech world, there are people who still think computer upgrades are unnecessary expenditures. It's true that the theoretical lifetime of a computer is probably something like 50 years, minus the hard drive replacement and the power supply which will generally go bad much quicker.

The more difficult thing is in a field like aeronautics any minor changes have the possibility of generating catastrophic events. In these situations, the cost of replacement, and testing, and phasing stuff in is enormously high and the risk is obscene when change needs to be made.
Hi,
I've been using AngylarJS & UI-Router for about 2 months. It's great. Some of the shortcomings that struck me were-

Lack of "routing state" - integration with the history API or means to go to "previous" state etc.

No clarity in handling errors from "resolve" - Since there is no controller any failed AJAX request fails silently.

Ability to pass data (not params, more like a model) between states. This I think sparks the debate of having services to share data. But there are use cases wherein you would want to transition to-fro controllers (eg. multi page form).
The website gives at least some insight to that problem:

>What happens if we don't get along?

In this case the same will happen as in any other shared flat: You try to find a solution together - if necessary we will help out. A buddy accompanies each placement process as an additional contact person (more information sign up as a buddy). If this does not work, there is the possibility to dissolve the housing situation.
but if you curl them after drying, you have a much smaller pool to find the pair from, the just washed socks (which will be the socks you use the most anyway). So it's faster that way, than to mix them all up and only then match.
For sure. And I think there is a whole crowd of "Outsource everything" people that would say to calculate the return of your time, and outsource anything that doesn't meet that.

The place where this can fall apart, is that sometimes those other things have value in the doing of them. An example for me is mowing my yard. I think my total return is something like $30 / hr to mow my yard. However I get outside, I get exercise (push mower), and I get to make sure my yard is done exactly like I want it. So even though an accountant might say I should hire someone to mow my yard, I don't plan on it (Maybe if my freetime got so low I didn't have the time to do it anymore)..

I'm nowhere near an expert in this, but I've heard that electromigration in the really thin wires can cause wearout over time. I imagine that this is probably near-negligible in the micrometer-sized interconnect layers in the 286 but a non-negligible issue in 14nm.
The outcome of this will be from our children and grandchildren.

Most European children will not be able to afford housing as good as their parents and will not have the job stability their parents enjoyed. Their parents pensions will be larger than their wages.

Eventually a tipping point will be reached. History tells us what will follow.
I can attest to the observation about being more open in second language. I'm native Russian speaking English and I find that I can talk e.g. about sex in English much easier than in Russian where the right words seem too loaded, obscene, scientific, or euphemistic. But then, I think, the experience oozes back to the native part as well. Maybe speaking more than one language should steer people into being more open and accepting in general? If so, then Dutch people should be among the champions :)
Why is Europe very much responsible? Also, please define Europe to avoid any confusion with the European Union or Western Europe.
That doesn't sound like a worthwhile approach to me.

Xeon are server CPUs. So that means that whoever bothers buying Xeons with scientific computing in mind may as well go all the way and buy nVidia GPUs instead.

So instead of making that framework available to all Intel Haswell and newer families and try to persuade the customer from having to buy nVidia GPUs, they cut themselves short.

That's probably a trap question, to let you filter out people who aren't paying attention. Similarly, in the 'recognize words' section, I'm fairly sure some of those words aren't real and so you could increase data quality by throwing out anyone who claims to recognize fake words.
