>> As far as I can tell the £28bn increase in the total "welfare" budget is almost all pensions, and what people typically think of as welfare (child care, housing, unemployment, etc) has dropped by 6% overall, although the social exclusion budget within that has actually risen.

Pensions are welfare spending. If you're going to arbitrarily pick sections off then you could make any amount of spending look like a reduction. You could argue about the priorities, but not that welfare spending has gone down.
The article doesn't characterize the disorder as being without emotions. It quotes researchers as saying that while sufferers display the physical signs of emotions, there is some sort of breakdown either in the expression (as you mentioned) or self-awareness of emotions.

Smile when you say that. ;)

"Power user", to me, means someone who knows a lot of trivia about specific software but no underlying theory; none of their knowledge transfers to any other system, so their domain knowledge is constantly being obsoleted. Having some power user traits is inevitable and desirable, but being just a power user is a stage you should strive to outgrow.

I admit that that's just a knee-jerk reaction based on my idiosyncratic definitions.

I wont argue regarding gas, don't know much about it, but this situation somehow solved as far as Im aware; it never pops up on official discussions.

As about immigration - you can trust me, those are not abstract words as I know about this not from press but from my living. Prices on appartments are high due to lots of people from moldova buy appartments here.. and this is due to low utility fees (water, gas, electricity) comparing to right coast..
Of course most of people in region try to immigrate to Europe and Russia, but still there is a bunch of them immigrating to Transnistria, amount may seem small but for our region it's enough to keep appartment prices high enough

You can always run a reverse proxy in AWS behind a WAF that then points back to your development machine, it's a complicated solution but it's not new.

If you host your servers internally and you are big organization you have WAF's/Application Firewalls, IPS/IDS, and possibility a DB FW like imperva as well.

Does this lead to issues with deployments? yes, but it doesn't affect your code, if the WAF breaks you application 9/10 unless you use something silly like SQL queries in the URL (yes this has been seen before...) it's up to your security team to adjust the rule set during the pre-prod testing.

Drupal and Wordpress started as blog post generators. Developers kept adding features.

Why are comments attached to every piece of content? All that has been refactored and put in non default modules in Drupal 8 which is built with a Sinatra style router on top of Symphony.

The problem of identifying different meanings of words is handled only by AMR

This is incorrect. In frame semantics, polysemy is expressed in that the same lexeme may invoke different frames. For instance, go to the FrameNet website and search for "run":

Currently, there are eight different meanings associated with the verb "run" in FrameNet.

Yes, it's about 250 lines, and if you have links installed you could do something like this instead:

And call it with `$ bashwiki golang` and you get the summary (and some of the other text). My guess is that someone a little more familiar with bash could strip the extra output and make it a bit nicer though.

> I knew how to remove all of the Lenovo crapware the moment I got the computer

Except for the crapware they've embedded in the firmware. That isn't as easy to get rid of.
And if it's not run in a tight loop, the JIT can often still detect it.

I don't know why you believe such things are trivial. On one occasion I altered some code which broke this, and it added about 10-20 seconds to a 15 minute HFT simulation. If that code made it to prod, those 10-20 seconds would be distributed around the hot parts of an HFT system. That's not remotely trivial, at least for performance critical applications (HFT, RTB, etc).

In the second example, basically what happens (if you get lucky - I haven't found the JVM JIT to be super consistent) is that computation of cond and f(x) will be put into the pipeline together, and only the assignment to myVar will be conditional. This is strictly NOT something the CPU can do by itself, since there are side effects at the machine level (allocating objects, and then GCing them).

IBM Watson and Cognitive Data as the Future of Information Data Systems
As the Industrial Revolution began, workers naturally worried about being displaced by increasingly efficient machines. But the Luddites themselves “were totally fine with machines,” says Kevin Binfield, editor of the 2004 collection Writings of the Luddites. They confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.”

Speaking from a music composition point of view, the ability to simply write a note on "paper" is huge. There's a big difference between sitting at a piano with a tablet that you write on and a laptop with a keyboard and mouse. Even with a custom "music keyboard" getting the nuance of written music through digital input is slow, difficult and frustrating. For years we've been able to hook a keyboard into composition software, but writing in dynamics and other notation meant clicking through menus and sub-menus in crowded, tedious interfaces.

The ability to write as you think/feel it and have the computer handle digitization is a big step, and hopefully allows composers to just write, without working around their software's limitations.
The list (which would be a lot shorter if duplicates were removed) strikes me highly speculative, i.e. it is not the result of psychological research done in that area.

It also ignores that a mental state or behavior only counts as a mental disorder when it causes actual suffering in the person: As long as obsessively watching cat videos on mewtube doesn't create any problems in my life, it's not a mental disorder.

Sometimes well, sometimes not. Bird strikes are relatively rare, but do happen. I've had two. One tiny guy on the wind screen on landing at about 150mph which caused no damage and one on the nacelle of a jet engine at around 270mph that did cause structural damage. I also own a little DJI phantom "drone" and have no doubt that it could snuff out a turbine engine if it was ingested or cause significant structural damage. Unfortunately the FAA can't go after birds with fines for busting class B airspace, but they can and should nail drone operators.

The little copters are really awesome to play with but the FAA needs to start upping the enforcement. You need to be licensed to talk on a ham radio, you should be licensed to fly a drone. Not a full on pilots license, but written tests on airspace every year or two. It would be nice if future drones continuously transmitted the operators credentials on a publicly available frequency.

>Other people getting married is not something you would care about since you have not emotions.

They don't. They just copy what other people do because it's the default thing to do (everyone does it), and because they want to stop that annoyance (annoyance like we feel annoyance from a crappy seat belt or uncomfortamble shows, not emotional misery) and distraction (the nagging from other people, etc). No emotion mostly means that they aren't enthusiastic about getting married, and they are not miserable because they are not married either. You can conform to something just by thinking about it, you don't have to have any emotions on the matter. Same way people used to have arranged marriages back in the day (and still in some cultures). They didn't necessarily have any affection to the other person, not they had any great urge to get married.

>With regards to the thunderstorm thats not how it works. It's not the rational request thats the problem but the intuition around when it feels right.

You don't need to feel emotion-based intuition for when it "feels right". "Feels" is just a word we use to describe our selection process but it doesn't mean there have to be "feelings" involved.

You just need to check that your sound effect sound as you remember those things to sound. No need to be dissapointed when they don't, or feel creative or elated when they do.

More typically you would use a KDF and simply request the number of bytes that you require directly from there.

Note, however, PBKDF2 has a bug where each additional block of output bytes is recomputed independently, which means the work factor (iteration count of the underlying hash algorithm) is applied separately for each block of output generated. So if you ask for, say, 1,000,000 iterations of PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 with 64 bytes of output, you are actually running two separate independent runs of 1,000,000 HMAC-SHA512 under the hood. This allows attackers to derive the output block-by-block instead of having to compute all or nothing, which can increase cracking speed in some cases (see 1Password writeup [1])

More simply, you can use a hash/KDF to produce a single block of seed with all your desired work factor imputed into that one value, and then stretch the seed simply as: for 1..n { hash(seed || n) } to get however many bytes you need to produce your privKey. In other words, 1,000,000 iterations of work for the seed, and a single iteration of work for each final block -- effectively all or nothing.

This will let you reduce the number of primitives to the single hash function you choose, which personally I think is much cleaner than introducing a whole PRNG into the mix.

It's... complicated, as always, and it depends who it is. In a recent example, my opinion was given, but key decisions were made (seemingly) without reference to it - I don't think it was intentional, they really need someone on the management team that understands the implications of the advice - hence the reason I say it's a blind spot. I was expecting my words to contribute to the business planning, but the way the decision making was done, the nature of my engagement, the politics of the company etc, it was hard to make sure it was understood as intended before it was too late to change course.

>Why would caring for yourself be "more logical" than for others?

Because you ARE yourself, and the obvious thing is to maximize your strength.

And because caring for others implies "love", "affection", "altruism" (emotions, not rational calculations) and even sacrificing your interests for others, whereas helping yourself is immediately advantageous for you and is in your default interest.

Well, there surely is a big difference in not having words for emotions, or being unable to feel them, and them not arising in the first place, at all.

But still: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexithymia

> Individuals high on the alexithymia spectrum also report less distress at seeing others in pain and behave less altruistically toward others.

Which doesn't surprise me, really; at least for me, for how I operate, there is a clear distinction between acting to avoid punishment or to seek reward, and a conscience; the latter is always connected to emotions, for me.

Here's another admittedly random tidbit from Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilt_%28emotion%29

> As a highly social animal living in large groups that are relatively stable, we need ways to deal with conflicts and events in which we inadvertently or purposefully harm others. If someone causes harm to another, and then feels guilt and demonstrates regret and sorrow, the person harmed is likely to forgive. Thus, guilt makes it possible to forgive, and helps hold the social group together.

and

> When we see another person suffering, it can also cause us pain. This constitutes our powerful system of empathy, which leads to our thinking that we should do something to relieve the suffering of others. If we cannot help another, or fail in our efforts, we experience feelings of guilt.

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely agree with the impulse to reject any sort of "witch hunt" or even "just" looking down on people. It's not the fault of people who can't feel remorse that they can't feel remorse, especially since "harder variants" like NPD are very often the result of abuse and trauma (and in so far they are genetic, there's no fault either), and since all of this is on a spectrum, and most of us likely are on it, they also must not serve as scapegoats. But it's fascinating and important, and while the person this story is about is probably a decent guy, it can also be a very unsettling and sinister topic, yet still important - I'd even say we shy away from it at our own risk.
