Yeah, I don't ever adjust a thermostat set by someone else. If there's a thermostat to set, I'm always happy with whatever anyone has set it to. if there isn't, there's nothing to set. There should be a choice "I never adjuust a thermostat."

This highlights one of my pet peeves with the integrated versus discrete debate.

The reason why typical GPUS have high power consumption is because they are generally designed for the desktop market where they can.

But you can have low-power discrete GPUs also.

For that matter, there is no reason why you cannot have a low-power discrete GPU, and a high-power discrete GPU.

And again, it's a whole lot easier to dissipate heat being produced in multiple places than all in one hotspot.

It's notable how hard it is to write a logically strict and abstract text without using the language of mathematics. It could be so much clearer and shorter if he used formulas to express his key points. Apparently Wittgenstein knew plenty enough math, but he decided not to use it, I suppose, to make his work more accessible to those not so well-versed in it, that is, most other philosophers.
Just read a quote from "Secrets of Consulting" that's applicable, no matter how it may look at first, it's usually a people problem. We do like using tools instead of focusing on education and training.

But there wasn't a quotation mark. I considered starting with the words "type", "five", "random", and "words" - but I realized that that wasn't very random at all (very very low entropy.) So I truly came up with extremely random words.
I really hate live coding, for example I could do a small app with re-sizing table cells for iOS but animations I would need to read the documentation. So what? Why can't I read the documentation, am I a bad programmer now?

I had to design some tasks applicants need to do for hiring and it is not so easy to come up with something related to the work we do without being too complex or too easy. Whiteboard or live programming tasks are easier to find because they can be quite easy and the time pressure and nervousness make them hard enough. So as an applicant it probably tells me that the employer is lazy?

And I never understood interview marathons, I have friends in business jobs and they have that of almost every interview. It is exhausting and demoralizing, that also tells me more about the employer than it tells about the applicant. If an applicant does not want to do that, maybe she is not desperate enough or has other offers but maybe the job later is also exhausting because the employer does not think enough about the people at the company.

I don't think of me as a extraordinary programmer but I think if the interview is hard the job needs to be totally awesome to justify it. My experience shows me, it is not like that.

Telling a customer that they can't access their data on your service because they broke their laptop is going to make them very unhappy.

Depending on your target market, that can be a selling point. Tell them early and tell them often that you don't keep copies of their keys and if they lose them, they won't be able to access the information. Remind them to make backups.
I would love to have a way to use your system with Lua ..

It's not really something that can be made "consumer friendly" as far as I can tell (But I'd love to be proven wrong!). How do you securely store the key to your securely stored data?

Admittedly, there are some recommendations on the Tarsnap site (http://www.tarsnap.com/gettingstarted.html):

"5. Keep your key file safe

Store your /root/tarsnap.key somewhere safe.
If you lose tarsnap.key, you will not be able to access your archived data.
The same encryption which ensures your data security also means that there is no way for anybody (including Tarsnap Backup Inc.) to restore your data without this key.
There are many ways to keep it safe:
Copy it to a different system.
Put it on a USB disk.
Give it to a friend.
Print it out (it is printable text).
Store it in a bank vault.
Pick at least one and do it!"

The only other way I can think of to keep the key even safer would be to use Shamir's Secret Sharing to divide the key up and share it among trusted friends and family. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_Secret_Sharing).

Reminds me of a 2d space rpg I played. This was an absolutely brilliant game for me as a kid, as you could build your own space bases. And then run blueprints, colonies etc. All the EVE stuff in a MMO game but pre-Eve. (it launched a year after EVE but EVE didn't launch with things like player owned starbases right away).

So at one point I was in the top 5 players in the game and had a absolute ton of gear and actual liquidity and set up a trade hub. I never expected it but that thing took off, I was making a billion a day and you could sell a billion credits for about $10. Remember that this was a pretty obscure tiny game that was generating hundreds of dollars a month for a 16 year old, and that you could completely set up the trade hub on your base as you liked, and so I didn't actually have to put in any work. (setting up the initial shop was a pain). The beauty was that after a short time, 90% of my trade wasn't my own gear that I was finding and selling. Mostly I was providing instant, immediate liquidity to anyone. (the alternative was to spam in trade chat you wanted to sell something, then haggle, fly across the universe to meet the guy and then do a 'drop trade' based on trust without any form of escrow). My base offered a safe, secure, immediate price. And that value allowed me to discount prices and charge premiums. I was getting ridiculous 30% profit margins on other people's intermittent trading just by being a source of liquidity (in a game where there's no opportunity cost of money, there's no security to buy or interest rate to get. So there were no cons to locking up my money in trades) and gear.

If humans are hardwired to be averse to "millions of immigrants pouring into your home country," why is that? Presumably you're referring to that aversion being chosen by natural selection. That suggests that we're less likely to have been descended from those who were more open to displacement by outside populations, and more likely to come from those who guarded their borders. Societies that don't keep barriers are less likely to pass on their genes or memes to the future.

I'm assuming that the main difference between then and now is that an increase in resources means we can share freely with more "outsiders." Presumably resources aren't infinite, so what's the upper bound? How would we know?
What do you want to know? There are plenty when it comes to hard number crunching.

And no branching out to C, or Cython or Fortran like Numpy is not the same as Python not having those limitations.

This is an interesting history. And perhaps it's nothing more than uniqueness which makes this interesting; however, ms Vigo seems very well suited as ambassador for this dying tradition.

"There’s irony in any tech company confronting the government on privacy matters, considering how much heat many take for mining their own customer information and using it for advertising and other profitable purposes."

See, I don't find this very ironic. In fact, my only real issue with data mining and analysis by these sorts of companies is the way governments can demand this info without my approval.

If Microsoft or Google or Apple or Amazon offer me a service and state that "hey, we'll provide this service for no cash outlay but data you submit to our servers will be analyzed to tailor search results, advertising, and other behavior to your usage" I can opt into that knowing that I'm trading targeted ads for free email or hosting or whatever. If I don't think that's a good deal, I don't use the service. If I think "OK, ads are a fair price for this stuff" then again, I'm cool with that.

But just because I agree to let Google read my location to send me traffic warnings before heading out to work doesn't mean I want the FBI to grab that data without my knowledge so they can determine if I might be a troublemaker. Just because I agree to let Amazon use my Amazon searches to suggest other products I might want doesn't mean I want the DEA demanding that info to decide if the gardening gear I purchased was for tomatoes or growing cannabis.

I'm perfectly aware that you pay for the things you get, whether it's directly with cash or indirectly from advertisers who pay for access to your eyeballs. Those are things I can consent to or decline. But when people with guns and the ability to throw me in jail can demand access to that info without my knowledge, I'm no longer agreeing to the same thing.

It's like signing a contract where someone else has the ability to change the fine print after I've signed it.
The performance jumps just got more specialized. For instance, introduction of AVX instructions made a huge performance bump for some areas, especially scientific, albeit you needed crazy cooling to run a program using AVX extensively for more than a few seconds. I can remember having around an 80% performance jump with one code I used compiled with vs. without AVX. x86 hardware virtualization extensions were another enormous performance boost. Hardware transactional memory was supposed to be a big (order of magnitude) boost to some things on Haswell but they ended up having to disable it.

Through all this time though, I haven't noticed a massive overall performance boost in a long time. If all I wanted to do was browse the web and read email I'd probably still be using my Core 2 Duo MBP from forever ago. The speed boosts have been piecemeal, one generation improves one thing, the next something else. This is different from Ye Olden Days, I can remember upgrading from a 386 to a Pentium II to a Pentium 4 and each upgrade was so dramatic that it completely redefined what I could do with my computer. The last real performance jump I can remember was the Core Duo upgrade that brought real multicore.

I do kinda miss my beloved old SPARCstation though. Makes me wonder what computing looks like in the alternative dimension where SPARC or one of the other architectures had taken over the PC market like Intel ultimately did.

Seriously. That is going to be my next phone. I'm very sick of all the privacy issues with Android, and for a phone, I want something that Just Works. iPhone seems to be the logical solution. I'm sure it doesn't have a prompt that isn't able to be disabled when you turn on the GPS.
Microsoft has shown that they are quite willing to access induviduals private data if they have a financial stake in it [0]. Yes, they eventually backtracked under public pressure (after trying very hard to justify how it's totally okay because they were going to pay a lawyer to rubber-stamp things in the future), but it's rather hard to listen to their general council talking about how they value privacy on principle given their history. It's quite obvious they only care about privacy insofar as it affects their bottom line.

The article also conflates (intentionally?) this issue with the mass-surveillance issue, bringing Snowden into it and insinuating that this ruling would have an effect on that, which is just silly [1].

The whole "Company F" section is interesting (hadn't heard before that microsoft is challenging the statement that they were willingly providing user data to the NSA), but it's a bit hard to square with the leaked documents which list microsoft as the first participating partner in the PRISM program [2]

Hypothesis:

People think even numbers aren't as "random" and odd numbers are more "random". That leaves us with 1,3,5,7,9. 1 and 5 both divide 10 and don't seem so "random" to us, I guess. That leaves us with 3, 7, and 9. 33, 77, 99, i.e. numbers with repeated digits don't seem so "random". That leaves us with 37, 39, 79. And 9 maybe (not sure if all people subconsciously think this way) isn't that "random" because it's one less than 10 and divisible by 3.

Infact, the jargon file says that 37 is the most common random number people will choose[0].

I have ascertained that argentine ants have sufficient absorption at infrared wavelengths that laser will ablate them.

For those wondering about fire insurance, its not a long distance thing, its a camera looking down on a region about 1' x 1' of light colored paving tiles (ceramic). The entire apparatus would sit about 3' off the tiles (to give enough x and y control over the beam) The tiles are not reflective relative to IR but I've got IR screens anyway (I suppose an ant could try to carry a mirror if you watch horror movies)

Not really. Per core CPUs have become slower and slower. It become about throughput and not raw per op speed a long time ago. Using that measure you'll want to install a Core Duo in your machine.
Fun anecdote. I took a cryptography exam, where the question was "Progress as far as possible towards decrypting or decoding the following message:", followed by a sequence of letters in alphabetical order- several As, a different number of Bs, and so on. It seemed obvious to me that a message that has been sorted into alphabetical order cannot be reversed without luck and a computer, so I assumed the unencoded version was something we could guess. On a hunch, I checked the question itself, and sure enough, the answer was "Progress as far as possible towards decrypting or decoding the following message". Apparently I was the only one to figure it out.
Yeah, and the last couple bits of the microsecond timestamp on the interrupt that fired when the key pressed are going to be pretty darn random.

Yeah, actually I think you're right. I don't think you can actually disable the GC in JVM unless you patch it.

Truly garbage free is probably not practical 99% of the time. Normally you should just generally try to either have objects that are short-lived or practically permanent.
What's crazy is that it often just isn't an option.

Precisely for some of the reasons outlined in the above article (third party records are subject to subpoena pretty much everywhere, not just the U.S.) it's untenable in certain fields to keep sensitive information on the cloud.

Those concerns would be dramatically mitigated if at least there was an option to do client-side encryption. That way the government has to get jurisdiction over your person to get you to turn over the encryption keys, which puts you on much stronger legal footing.
And they make pretty terrible predictions.

That's a fair criticism, as far as it goes: it's been said (of Austrians, anyway) that they've predicted 8 of the last 3 recessions.

The thing is, qualitatively, we can say that "old school Keynesian-style aggregate models" are just as bad. The difference is that, rather than modeling based on coldly-rational actors, they're modeling based on (and I quote) "animal spirits". And those models told us that the end of WWII and curtailing war spending was going to usher in a new depression worse than the Great Depression; and that the Sequester and "fiscal cliff" were going to plunge us back into the depths of 2008.

The fact is that both approaches like to pretend that they understand what's happening, but neither really do. Anybody claiming they have an accurate model of macroeconomics is trying to sell you something.

HOWEVER, this is all talk about Macro.

If you take a look at the Micro world, you'll see that Chicago really are the winners. Microeconomics is a solved problem, at least to a first approximation. And the progenitor of that was pretty much Gary Becker - from University of Chicago.

So it's not fair to criticize Chicago when (a) in the micro world, they really have been triumphant; and (b) in the macro world, they're just a different kind of wrong than Keynesianism.
