Both statements are hyperbolic, but the original is tongue-in-cheek and is saying that these moral judgments, themselves, are not logical. It also makes an elitist gut punch at the American mindset, too, but I'll forgive it.

If either statement were meant to be logical, it would have to be judged by applying some rationalistic framework like a utilitarian ethics, and summing up every potential achievement or atrocity into a total, so that one party might be declared more responsible with their nukes.

(We don't do this, so when such a dilemma is presented, it's entirely for a rhetorical purpose - either to sway an unthinking audience, or to demonstrate a fallacy in action.)
Wouldn't that be really regressive? A poor person's spending on goods is going to be a larger proportion of their income than a rich person's.

Admittedly, rich people could buy fancier goods which could be taxed more, but would that make up the difference?

Interesting claim. They're using PKCS5 which means that, yes, there is a padding oracle vulnerability, but triggering it is orders of magnitude more difficult than null padding.

It is always sad when I read this sort of screed. I can assure you that Universities are not a 'scam' in the general sense (and yes there are actual scams by some of them but it doesn't sound like Bristol is such a university).

There are three things a University/College education provides you -

1) Is a rapid exposure to many of the typical problems, techniques, and understanding of a particular major subject. Generally this is about 3x the rate you could get exposed to that in a work for hire situation. So for each year of college you end up exposed to the variety of problems it would have taken 3 years of on the job experience to get to.

2) The people who go to college constitute the majority of leaders in the community. It takes a while to realize this but as a young adult there are "the leaders" and "the followers", and the young adult is generally in the follower group. But over time folks move into the leader group and, by and large, those are the people you went to school with. So you are more naturally considered a part of that group.

3) A personal sense of what you can do, for many folks they reach a point where the requirements on them exceed their natural ability to "wing it"[1], and depending on how "smart" they were in high school this can come as a rude awakening. But once past it, people are much more mature about their skills and how to work at things. My experience has been that people who haven't gone to college rarely allow themselves to be pushed pass this wall as the other side is quite reasonably scary. Without the immovable force of 'you must do this or you will not graduate' the temptation to run away can be more powerful. Without that fundamental understanding of your abilities, and how to get more done than you think you can, often limits how successful you can be.

I can just reach all of my screen, and I have freakishly large fingers. I whined, when they released the 5 to replace the 4, but the form factor fortunately walked right up to the limit of reach. I don't understand why it's intuitive to people at Apple to go beyond something like that.

They're certainly not institutions I would normally consider 'collegiate'. And god knows they're not Universities. They're trade schools.

But, barring the fact that they're an Apples-to-Oranges comparison to typical liberal arts colleges and should be segmented as such in the data, I nonetheless think it's interesting information. Trade school expansion is often touted as a reasonable alternative to pushing more people into the higher education pipeline. To that end, we should seek to highlight and study which trades are actually worth pursuing from an economic perspective.

In your example script yes, but basic UCT does not do that - simply because UCT was not meant only for multi-player games in the beginning. And this is some assumption we make about our opponents (actually that they want to maximize their payout, not to e.g. win or minimize our score). Of course this is a very straightforward "application" of UCT or MCTS to the multiplayer games that was done in works of Sturtevant and Cazenave in 2008.

But it is not so easy to know about this, e.g. this is a very recent change to wikipedia page on the topic
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monte_Carlo_tree_... and very often people writing on the topic are not pointing this out at all, which I find very strange and misleading.

Also in the classic MCTS you should select move which has most visits, not the one with the highest percentage of wins.

Here's some help: regolith is broken rock and dust on the ground. So no mining necessary - just earth movers (luna movers?) and a conveyor belt.

Probably the first thing you'd build would be - more mining equipment. Let the thing bootstrap itself, including the fabrication plant, the rail-gun and more mining equipment.

In 20 years you'd be ready to begin doing the rest of the project, but it would be much easier with the orders-of-magnitude larger infrastructure you'd bootstrapped.

Apple doesn't keep the base model small to save costs. They do it to increase revenue (and margins).

The cost to go from 16GB to 32GB is inconsequential. (They upped the step-up from 32GB to 64GB with no increase in price.) In fact, the cost to them from 16GB to 64GB is probably inconsequential. It's certainly nothing near the $100 in price.

The reason they keep it at 16GB is to make more people upgrade to 64GB. If the base model was 32GB, far fewer people would upgrade to 64GB, precisely because you would no longer have an unacceptably bad user experience.

If your target market is gamers at HOME. Then ENet is a good way to go.

Of the three different ways
1) Custom Protocol - Great, but the internet doesn't support it. So this is not viable.
2) Defined Protocol - Again, even though there is a spec for this protocol, if you try to use it you will find its not well supported, meaning its going to work intermittently or slowly at best, at worst not work at all.
3) Supported Protocol with added layers. This looks like your best bet, they just add a reliability layer on top of UDP (done that myself).

The reason I eventually abandoned UDP on my project (a virtual world) was I needed my app to work within corporate environments, and many corporate routers do NOT support UDP with out IT departments support.
For locale-aware correct sorting of unicode strings, based on the Unicode Collation Algorithm, some open source libraries twitter released are pretty awesome.

ruby: https://github.com/twitter/twitter-cldr-rb

javascript: https://github.com/twitter/twitter-cldr-js

Human written language is pretty complicated. The Unicode standards (including the Common Locale Data Repository, the Unicode Collation Algorithm, normalization forms, associated standards and algorithms, etc) -- is a pretty damn amazing approach to dealing with it. It's not perfect, but it's amazing it's as well-designed and complete as it is. It's also not easy to implement solutions based on the unicode standards from scratch, cause it's complicated.
Common sense is often right but also often wrong, and I wouldn't expect it to do a good job at working out the nuance of whether you drive enough slower to counteract negative effects such as reduced reaction time, or other drivers expecting you to be driving differently (faster, for example, but also in more subtle ways.). And this particular common sense doesn't do anything to inform you as to overall driving patterns because it doesn't say anything about the percentage of people driving high, or about whether a significant number of drunk drivers are now stoned drivers, etc.
> The submarine's captain ordered the launch of a nuclear torpedo, and his decision was affirmed by the sub's political officer — which normally would be enough to authorize the use of a nuclear weapon.

It sounds scary, but in fact there was quite a lot of procedural tolerance for the use of underwater nuclear devices; they wouldn't have crossed the NATO 'tripwire', for example, whereas using a tactical nuke of the same yield on land would have done so.[0]

Hence it doesn't automatically follow that the release of a nuclear torpedo would have escalated beyond the tactical level.

[0] In fact just months after the Cuban crisis the Canadian forces began an investigation as to whether they should up-gauge to nuclear anti-submarine weapons, simply to overcome targeting and effectiveness problems.

Polygeat, a fun game
Personally, I'm not a fan of using functional programming in video games. I found it to be quite a pain to deal with Haskell's functional aspects when handling state. Although, I did not try using the state monad which might have prevented the issues I encountered. So, perhaps I will try making a game in Haskell in the future just so I can try and see if the state monad would fix the issues I encountered.

It's especially poor journalism to treat Goldberg's observations on free speech and targeting of perceived anti-free-speech organizations as sincere whilst acknowledging he spent much of the time creating both sides of an argument between his sockpuppets and picked his own ethnic group as one of his main targets.

I live in Colorado, and I don't use it, because of the "lingering" in the blood. I don't want to get high last weekend, get pulled over tomorrow in a speed trap, and get cited for pot in addition. It's ridiculous, but it is what it is.

EDIT: Plus the risk of an unrelated workplace accident and then testing positive and being fired, or refusing the test and being fired. A colleague was fired for testing positive a few years ago.

If you could detect porn viewing from a blood test, I wonder how many traffic fatalities would be porn related.

One possible reason for lower fatalities could be that some who've used pot don't drive at all for a period after using it. Not saying that's why, just playing "search for data."

Unmasked: What 10M passwords reveal about the people who choose them
I am told that Niklaus Wirth only allowed for compiler optimizations in which the optimizations paid for themselves in speed, when compiling the compiler. This is said to be the reason for the Oberon compiler's speed. [1]

I have only skimmed Dybvig's paper on Chez Scheme, but I think it would be interesting to compare the speed of a compiler that uses Dybvig's nanopass framework [2], and a compiler optimized according to Wirth (using only a single pass).

I think you need to tone down the bitterness. I'm a bit surprised that you're attaching your real name, actually. People tend to stay away from someone who seems angry. Getting a handle about a war crime is a bit aggressive, too. I presume it's something about the war of independence. Also, don't let on that your net worth matters a lot to you. People tend to be suspicious of that particular (completely understandable) motivation.

When I finished university, I had some similar thoughts. There is literally nothing in any course that's not public knowledge. Practicals are a question of getting people to sign off rather than actually understanding anything. Lecturers often have crappy presentation skills.

But you need to take a larger view of what you got up to. Even though every damn thing can be read in a book, not everyone has done so. Even though you can no longer remember the equations and experiments, you now possess an intuition in your field that will make retrieving the specifics much easier than for some novice. Critically, you've shown that you're able to learn on your own. Stuff you learn at university is a whole lot less structured and generally from a much larger syllabus than in secondary school.

On the upside, I think your CV looks pretty good. Decent skills in something that sounds practical, probably someone who could learn to program anything.
Well, there are multiple normalization forms in unicode. The OP isn't clear about this. (Perhaps because the python library he's using also isn't as clear as it ought to be? I dunno)

'compatibility' normalizations are mainly for comparison (including indexing/search/retrieval) and sorting, although there might be other uses. But indeed you should not expect a 'compatibility' normalization to render the same as the not-normalized input that produced it under normalization.

The 'canonical' normalization outputs ought to render the same as de-normalized input, but rendering systems don't always get it quite right.

For the web, the WWW consortium recommends a canonical normalization.

The Unicode documentation on normalization forms is actually pretty readable and straightforward, for being a somewhat confusing topic. http://unicode.org/reports/tr15/

> Normalization Forms KC and KD [compatibility normalizations] must not be blindly applied to arbitrary text. Because they erase many formatting distinctions, they will prevent round-trip conversion to and from many legacy character sets, and unless supplanted by formatting markup, they may remove distinctions that are important to the semantics of the text. It is best to think of these Normalization Forms as being like uppercase or lowercase mappings: useful in certain contexts for identifying core meanings, but also performing modifications to the text that may not always be appropriate.

The compatibility normalizations are pretty damn useful for indexing/search/retrieval though. Anyone storing non-ascii text in Solr or ElasticSearch (etc) probably wants to be familiar with them -- as a general rule of thumb, you probably want to do a compatibility normalization before indexing and again on query input.
That's some hypocritical rules-lawyering, but is there any other kind?
