No those acres of employees at Twitter are showing each other powerpoint presentations, ordering lunch for each other, and subdividing again and again tiny slivers of functionality into more and more product management teams, none of whom have sufficient authority to make any material improvement to the product.

Yeah, I agree. There were great games then, there are great games now. I'd expect MORE good games now due to the better capabilities, but games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne are legendary.

Maybe you could say that never so many people played so many bad games, but good games are still plentiful.
I've collected 2000+ Swift urls and tagged many of them:

There's a little search engine built on top of the data so you can search for all 'functional' blog posts in the last 90 days, for example:

And this week I added a "Swift Today" view: http://www.h4labs.com/dev/ios/swift.html?date=20151009

Swift should be open sourced and on Linux at the end of this month. I expect its usage to surge.

By the way, the data is on Github:

It's a horrible idea. Beyond the obvious ethical problems with dosing people without their consent, you aren't guaranteed to have a good experience. In fact a positive experience is probably pretty unlikely if you have no idea what's happening to you or why.

Uses of psychedelics to treat depression or PTSD are happening during a counseling session, and has apparently had some promising results. Although I'm not sure if they've used a comparable length counseling sessions as a control.

It might also indicate that China is feeling more confident that it has closed the gap and no longer needs to use illegal channels. In addition they'll soon find the shoe on the other foot and thus it's a good time to take a pro IP protection stance. It's also fair that right now the US economy is much stronger than China's and so sanctions would not look good at home.

> It's not a half-joke, it's a fact.

Smalltalk advocates never fail to entertain.

Java has HotSpot, IDE's that actually perform automatic refactoring (Smalltalk's IDE's are naturally limited because the language is dynamically typed), the library ecosystem, sheer speed, standard libraries, debuggers that actually work, etc...

Smalltalk never succeeded for a good reason. It was a fantastic innovation back in its time but it never turned into a viable development ecosystem.

"And that they did, which saw through the creation of the impressive array of technologies invented at PARC which were the foundations for much of personal computing and programming as we know it today, including:
•Laser Printers
•Object Oriented Programming / Smalltalk
•Personal Computers
•Ethernet / Distributed Computing
•GUI / Mouse / WYSIWYG"

The work done at PARC was clearly influential, but mostly as a refinement of what came before. They were clearly building on the work of Engelbart and his team at Stanford. In fact, if I remember correctly, some members of that team ended up working at Xerox PARC.

Hmm, you have a point. The worse that could happen for those abusers is get instant unfollows. Abusers user Buffer, Hootsuite and other services to repost their content, there it takes them a while to setup the entire stuff.

Not to invalidate your comments, but is that adjusted for inflation? Because not increasing the spending to match inflation is effectively the same as decreasing the amount of [adjusted-for-inflation money] spent.

Argh. I always forget which of nominal and real dollars are adjusted for inflation.

I assume it will be using the new Kryo core (or whatever hey are calling it). Hopefully it will be a 14nm chip, too. Things should get interesting for ARM in the server market if that's the case.
If you're interested in low-level code (assembly, JITs, Forth, etc.), note that official documentation for the ARM ISA has considerable encumbrance. It's not like most architectures where you just go to the manufacturer's website and download a PDF of the programming manual; ARM makes you register an account and agree to a rather restrictive clickwrap license (something to the effect of "you're only allowed to use this manual to support our products, not to compete with us").

This seems to not be common knowledge. Maybe the atmosphere of typical ARM applications is already so buried under NDAs that nobody cares, or maybe people just punch "ARM Architecture Reference Manual" into Google and grab one of the many slightly-outdated copies that are floating around on .edu servers. But I found it pretty surprising after seeing how widespread ARM is in "open" hardware.
It's not even HP, it's things like 0-60 time.

Take something like the "Smart cars", tiny one or two seaters that are designed for efficiency above all else.

Two problems:

* They're too light and too tiny. Get into a wreck with any other car on the road, and you will fare poorly.

* Performance is anemic, to the point where they can barely do 80PMH, which is standard cruising speed on the interstate, or do things like accelerate to pass.

Finally. It's refreshing to see US try to drive a stake between the corporate interests and a big monolithic government. This is a country that is spying on economic allies all over the world and callaborates by horse trading secrets to corporate interests. I understand that they can't talk about the length of the list, who is on it or the crimes they comitted, but just knowing they they have a list feels like justice to me, and these hackers will face retribution.

China has to realize that it is hurting the financial position of the entire country and it's own credibility, by funneling secrets to private companies. If the reverse were true in the US, companies funneling secrets to the governement, it would be treason. America has the advantage of complete isolation of the government and corporations, which just isn't possible in a communist nation, so only in the most extreme cases do the two share finances or data.

China approves state sanctioned hacking against their allies and citizens in private companies and it gives them an unfair advantage. If private companies had that sort of clout in the US, you would see laws structured favourably for corporations and they would yield a lot more political influence. China is the kind of country that would commit industrial espionage against private companies it is allied with economically and politically. If it were possible for them to configure Danish and Malaysian servers via network and physical intrusion, they would be able to tactically engineer a super virus that would affect >50% of a whole country, not to mention collatoral damage. It would hurt the companies reputation, jeopardize it's secrets and causing them millions in damages as well as the hundreds of thousands affectd.

The article says:

"Chinese prosecution would entail the United States sharing evidence linking the cyberintrusions to the individuals. And to do so could compromise sensitive information on how the U.S. government tracked the suspects."

THESE ARE HACKERS. We shouldn't be afraid to get a win once in a while. We have to do something and a good first step would be to go to China, and tell them how we caught them breaking into private companies in the US and abroad, and we were able to document these records. They need to know that if they hit a multinational, a data center, resedential citizens, etc. that we are there, we will catch you and we will bring you to justice.

Im glad the US is taking a stand against this. I look forward to watching these hackers face trial, but ultimately, their government and citizens should be ashamed of themselves. It's a shame the Cyber Security bill failed to pass the senate a few months ago, that way organizations would monitor for cyber threat indicators and they would be forced to protect us from these hackers. I think I echo the words of the unnamed source, when I say "Look, here’s these guys. Round them up".

The STM32 dev boards already make this pretty easy. (Although setting up a free toolchain is a bit of a pain.)
Really?, it's pretty easy in my opinion on Debian/Ubuntu at least.

I just installed gcc and use openocd to program.

I'm fairly sure I just did "sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi" for the compiler.

I too am often surprised at how often people reach for an Atmel 8 bit AVR chip rather than an ARM. It is a testament to the momentum that Atmel built, the avr-freaks community and the amazing cost effectiveness of it all.

But now we're seeing ARM chips with built in clocks, and fewer base components required and I think the end of that AVR dominance is on the horizon. And that is why Dialog is buying Atmel[1].

Getting started with ARM is easy with one of ST's Nucleo boards (which are kinda Arduino Shield compatible, the biggest issue I have hit is that i2c at 3.3v is an issue on some boards). Their Discovery boards are even more capable but can be a bit more work to breadboard with.

Once ARM put out a supported GCC on launchpad.net it really made it easy to get a development environment up (no more crosstool or other package for building a cross compiler).

Since we don't have reliable screening for basic mental illnesses, I find it implausible that we have "reliable" screening for these kinds of vulnerabilities. I must be missing something; any thoughts?
It this began with a ticket agent (who generally gets a cut) and a "drug-sniffing" dog.

Police dogs are magical beasts -- you just point the dog at the thing you want searched and wait for it to "signal" that it's found something.

I really wish that the Supreme Court had had the chance to review the accuracy of drug dogs in their case this year (Rodriguez v. US).

How many times can a dog signal a false positive before you recognize that the drug dog is trying to please its handler? The police have no incentive to count.
I think asking questions of their leaders is a small byproduct of asking questions about our society in general. Why do we do what we do? When you realize we're all just organisms in a massive terrarium that we all depend upon, some things we do don't make any sense. The leaders are just a manifestation of these behaviorisms that probably started with either ignorance or selfishness.

It's possible China is doing this to improve commercial relationship with the U.S., especially if the US allows it to bully American companies into doing "joint ventures" with Chinese companies, if they want to do business there:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/24/cisco-systems-chin...

I don't think US is holding a gun to China's head. I think it's more of a quid pro quo thing. It may even be worse than that. China and US may have agreed to arrest some people for show, so it looks like the US gov is "doing something", while in reality nothing major changes, and the two countries agree to spy each other for economic purposes.

If we're going to continue to see these arrests of hackers who hacked into the US from China over the next year, then maybe we're going somewhere. But if this is it as the response for the OPM hack, then it was definitely just for show.

Large trades should move the market!

You and I buy stocks in small amounts. Intuitively, after each of our trades, we understand that the market moves to take the impact of those trades into account. That's the point of markets!

So why on earth should it be that a hedge fund should be able to buy or sell huge amounts of stock without having the market move? You don't have that power. Why do they? The fact that a giant entity is trying to move huge amounts of stock is information. The point of the market is to capture that information and build it into prices. That's exactly what HFTs are doing in this scenario.

The expectation that hedge fund managers have that they should be able to capture the spot price of a security and then buy or sell arbitrary amounts at that price, taking their information advantage out of the hides of every other market participant, seems totally unfair. Again: you don't have that privilege on the market. Why do they?

I've never heard of him before today, FWIW, but you did get me to google his profile - what with your reverse psychology ;-) - and... well, it's not that bad. It's a pretty standard twitter profile for someone who thinks having 25k followers makes him the voice of god... but I've seen a lot worse on twitter than merely misguided people.

Regardless, I genuinely don't understand the appeal of outrage-writing over subjects that simply do not concern you. For example, I'm straight but I'm also a proponent of gay rights - does that give me any right to speak "on behalf" of gays? Isn't the entire "I'm not [gay/black/a woman] but..." ideology of people stealing other people's voices exactly the reason some countries or communities have societal problems with various minorities?
Why are porn sites blocked in Singapore?
It's really strange that some porn sites are banned in Singapore , even if the site features consenting adults.

One of my favourite sites --- www.hegre-art.com/ used to be viewable in Singapore, but now it is blocked by Starhub

I remember the material on it --- usually photographs and videos featuring gorgeous models , nothing objectionable in my view, since they are all adults
But again, why aren't I brought to be present?
All "social media" services are fundamentally "RSS feeds for humans". It's the same concept, with an easier interfaces and discovery mechanisms, and within a walled garden.

There are numerous ways in which we're similar to apes and other organisms, and then there's also numerous things that have nothing even close in the animal kingdom(that we're aware of, anyways).

Not hard to answer that question: pornography is illegal in Singapore.
One of my neighbors bought one, I saw her out walking with it and asked her what she was going to do with it when it was 200 lbs. She didn't believe it would get that big, but it did. I never did find out what happened to it.

Given the popularity it seems there would be a "market" for a small breed of pig. But if small ponies is any example it would not be a good deal for the animal.
Has this "faster" thing been measured and profiled scientifically in some kind of A/B testing?

Or it's just based on subjective feelings and cargo cult?

The ICO is a member of the Article 29 Working Party (the WP is made up of a representative from each of the 28 EU Member States + the European Commission and EU bodies dealing with data protection, as detailed in Article 29 of the Data Protection Directive).

The WP is designed to make sure that Member States' Data Protection Authorities apply the DPD in a roughly uniform manner.

Of course, if the ICO deviates from the DPD then any party is able to appeal to the First-Tier Tribunal, the Upper Tribunal and the Court of Appeal who may then refer any questions of EU law to the ECJ in a similar way to Schrems' case.

After having worked with a lot of data visualization I came to the conclusion that the purpose visualizing most data is to show proportion, trend or significance not details.

I.e. it only has value if it clearly visualizes the point trying to be made. Otherwise you might as well show it on a list or it might come up as an alert.

The challenge is not to be able to read and understand graphs but to know what to do with them. This is why most dashboards are purely made to make the product look sexy not to actually provide any valuable insights.
At the end of the day, VW meets those rules.

They definitely didn't. EPA didn't just make up the term "defeat device" last month. It's in the regulation that VW was supposed to comply with.

The EPA rules also contain a NTE "not-to-exceed" limit, about 2.5x the test limit. They don't have much of an enforcement budget, so testing is pretty rare, but if the car exceeds the NTE limit, the manufacturer has to issue a recall to fix it.
I'm not saying the police are right, the whole seizure thing is ridiculous, but this story is so shady. You have 11 grand in cash and want to move it from A to B. The obvious and safe way is to deposit it in a bank and get a cashier's check or do an ACH transfer. Who in their right mind would carry it with them or even worse, put it in a checked bag that airlines notoriously lose? The point of the story is valid, but the example is ridiculous. Sounds like someone wanted an untraceable 11 grand. Shady.
Not to be overly pedantic, but I think "going to college for a few years" is enough to change someone, no need to ascribe the cause to drugs.
The main reason why the War on Drugs is so popular in police departments.
I guess that's part of the reason I hold him in such contempt- a lot of his comments have made their way into my Twitter feed, and I've yet to see something that wasn't either directly advocating irrationality (c.f. https://archive.is/xfjyi), blatantly speaking on behalf of the supposedly marginalized, or making uninformed statements on something or other.

No intelligent being should ever have the right to speak "on behalf of" any other intelligent being without their direct approval, any other standard is massively insulting.
Sometimes its illegal , sometimes its not --- There were certain periods in the past I remember when almost everything could be viewed. In recent years, there seems to be much more censoring of pornographic sites. Hegreart for example was viewable before , but not now ...
Yes, that is usually what the proposal is.
My point is that it can still be a false positive, even though "detecting weed" and "using weed" both occurred.

The dog "alerted" for drugs, but the dog can't testify as to why -- because it actually smelled drugs or because it sensed its handler wanted it to.
