MagicPython is a completely new implementation, written from scratch. The ultimate goal would be to integrate it into Atom and Sublime Text by default (here's an issue I created for Atom for example [1])

> Could I incorporate this somehow into emacs from what I've said here so far?

I'm not an emacs user myself, so I'm not sure. You can probably re-use some of the regexp tricks, and definitely our unit-tests.

I don't have a good understanding of TokuDB, but I'm not sure the buffers are necessarily in memory. The problem the buffers solve is the cost of rebuilding the index when you insert or delete data -- buffers allow you to delay the rebuild so as to batch many updates together. Even if the buffers were in memory, you'd still have the old (inconsistent) index on disk (presumably the index is marked inconsistent until the writes in the buffers are applied). You just need to rebuild it to match the new data.
That's certainly a lot cleaner than using the WSDL implementation. I've bumped the release on npm and used this instead - thank you.

There is no shortage of amendments which are seen as optional by the government and by the general population.
I think there is a sign bit inverted here - the NRA would be in the position of opposing "gun prohibition". Volstead-Act style prohibition of guns would result in gunrunning, which is arguably the nastiest form of organized crime.

I am sure that propaganda tropes would be highly common between the Wayne Wheeler continuum and the NRA - there are not that many forms of propaganda.

Temperature is one thing, but without knowing the air pressure you couldn't even cook an egg properly.

Assuming unstated conditions, like normal air pressure, is just as well an entry point for error if you want to reliably describe the assumed state of things.

I don't think the average liberal underestimates the effectiveness of social media, least of all when it comes to publicising the slaughter of American teenagers.

It's just the incidences of slaughter they - perhaps optimistically given the US status quo - believe may be reduced through gun controls are actually happening on a not infrequent basis, whereas the Second Civil War scenarios are wildly unlikely fantasy.

People believe social media campaigns might work precisely because they don't think that the only thing keeping the US from turning into a fascist police state is consumer weaponry.

They're still citizens; that kind of talk is emotion-laden hyperbole, and has no place in this kind of discussion forum.
That's awful.

If this is so common, why is nothing being done about it? Is there really no accountability at all? Nobody checking to see if cops are playing by the rules?

I liked to believe that despite all the awful news about police behaviour, it was still only a few bad apples. But if it's standard practice at every precinct, are there actually any good cops left?
That article is referring to The Wikipedia Library, which gives gratis access to editors to services like HighBeam, Questia, MIT Press, and others.

Some of the concerns are addressed here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Librar...

> These editors are not a special elite or priesthood--any editor with a six-month old account and 500 edits can gain access--they are hardworking, dedicated, core volunteers who are summarizing research for the public. They either have the resources they need to do their work, or they don't. In this research climate, sadly, not having access to major publishers means missing out on some of the best research. Which means our reading public misses out too.

> On a more technical level, it's long been Wikipedia's policy (at least an English Wikipedia policy) that accessibility is actually not a factor in determining the reliability or verifiability of a source. The best information often comes from hard to access materials, such as out-of-print monographs or expensive paywalled and embargoed journals. We use the best sources now to advance our mission: to write an encyclopedia. Wikipedia aims to be an open access summary of all reliable knowledge—not a summary of only open access knowledge. If we aim to exclude paywalled sources, our movement would need to have a very deep discussion about what our mission means.

I was expecting this response. :) I assume none of her work is on GitHub, actually. But there's a difference between not hiring someone because she's old and not hiring her because she's out-of-touch. If she isn't doing the things that people who get hired do then I don't think it's fair to assume she's being discriminated against due to her age alone.

It's unfortunate, but the approach would hopefully be to write the smallest possible primitives in assembly and then use a safer language for the rest of the code that either doesn't need constant time guarantees, or gets those guarantees by building on the primitives. This means that verification against these sort of basic attacks can be focused on a much smaller amount of code, rather than every single location in the whole code-base that manipulates memory (as in C). (And, one can go a step further: extract assembly from some higher-level language/DSL designed to create constant time code.)

In any case, the code in question for this post doesn't seem to be written to be timing sensitive.
Oh, do you mean as a managed VM?

Very little of my work is on GitHub either (I haven't really touched it since last time I actively applied for a job, years ago).

The general point I wanted to make is that it's much easier to make the age discrimination case if the person in question is doing all the same things that people who get hired do. Maybe all her work is in COBOL and no one wants to hire COBOL programmers. If you are a master and a sage etc. and you can't find a job, and you don't know to throw some stuff on GitHub or otherwise signal that your skills and practices are modern, you might be out of touch.
It be cool if the gifts weren't so centered on nerd culture, I personally didn't see anything I'd be excited to get. Maybe you could add interest filters?
> Yes, but why is a high bypass turbofan quieter?

The noise comes from high speed air alongside slow moving air. A high bypass fan moves more air at slower speed to get the same push. The slower speed means less noise.
That's probably not the tattoo that's meant. When most cats get neutered/first shots, they get a tattoo in the ear with a unique serial number, which includes a vet to contact. That way if the cat gets lost it can be tracked down. It was the only "permanent" way of doing it before microchips.

If you see a human doing something for pay they are doing it because they are cheaper than a computer/robot.

There is literally nothing a computer/robot can't do if you're willing to invest enough time and money into. For some things, like giving a nuanced acting performance or making a person feel pampered at a high-priced spa, where the cost to develop the technology far exceeds the profit currently available.

Other areas, like taxi drivers and fast food workers it's quickly tipping into becoming cost effective to replace human labor with robotic labor. In such industries you see humans increasingly competing to be cheaper than a machine. The recent debate over minimum-wage for fast-food workers is a great example of it, including the fact that more fast-food companies are investing in machine kiosks to automate more and more of your fast-food experience.

I'm not sure I understand the scale here; there is often not a number of usage to addition, it's often a matter of sustained and/or heavy usage. Yes, some drugs lower that threshold (and I thought cigarettes were much more addictive than alcohol), but it's not a x-time-and-done issue.

Comment I'd made[0] on a previous article about roundabouts and their potential for confusion:

I live in Victoria, Australia, and we’ve had roundabouts for ages. I think they are very good for a certain scale of road/traffic. Mostly intersections with moderate amounts of traffic on average, and not high-speed. e.g., the main intersections within housing estates. Having too many of them instead of give-way signs drive you a little batty (I’m looking at you, Warrnambool) while really heavy traffic, major intersections work better with traffic lights.

My daughter recently got her learner license, and she has found roundabouts one of the trickier intersections to navigate. You have to read the traffic flow. This person about to enter on your right is going straight ahead, so will block you entering the roundabout[1], but they have to wait for that person coming the other way from you and going straight through, so you can slip in the gap that creates without cutting anyone else off. As with many things it is familiarity and practice that makes them work[2]. I think roundabouts work very well here for the most part, and my daughter is getting pretty good at reading the traffic. It’s not rocket science[3].

The science of roads and traffic I imagine is a surprisingly nuanced expertise involving a lot of physics and psychology. I find when I cross over the border to New South Wales I feel like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. I eventually figured out it was because the signage was a different distance before the intersection compared to my home state. Once I was aware I could adapt.

I cannot find any reason to believe that lambdas have anything, at all, to do with sin-up time. A hello world console app wouldn't even be using them much (closures are just objects so...).

And I doubt generics make a significant difference in runtime but I don't have a CLR v1.1 around to test it out. For comparison, a C# hello world takes about 10ms longer than a C one (both compiled with optimizations; .NET 4.6 C# 6 / MSVC 19) on my i5 Broadwell laptop. Timing as measured by "time" in bash (~25ms vs ~35ms).

I'm guessing you're talking about JIT in general and of course have a point there. I doubt it's significant for any significant values of significant.
I don't know why you're being downvoted, but this is a legitimate concern for some businesses (well, legitimate may be too strong, but it is a concern a lot of legal departments will have).

After discussing this issue on #midipix on freenode, they had mentioned they will explore dual-licensing or some variant of such once the software is more stable and can be reliably deployed. In any case, the project is far too early in its infancy to start worrying about what license they might have.

Ask HN: I broke disk permissions in el capitan, Not SIP, anyone know how to fix?
Sorry,

I know this isn't really the place for this, but people here are usually just super helpful and not extremely hostile (like one SO).

In my haste to move to El Capitan, I think I just chowned all of /usr/local, even as rootless (csrutil disable) I can no longer use sudo because
/usr/bin/su and /usr/bin/sudo are owned by me.

-rwsr-xr-x 1 myname wheel 25K Sep 17 03:07 su
-r-x--x--x 1 myname wheel 165K Sep 17 03:07 sudo

so I can't change it back because there is no effective uid

effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?

is the output from running anything as sudo. I have to ship something for a client asap, and I can't install programs anymore. There is no disk permissions repair on el capitan, and I am not sure installing the OS again would help (and it takes like an hour).

If anyone has any idea how to sort this, I would be super appreciative.

chown, sudo chown, and chmod do not work even with SIP disabled.

tl;dr I am a moron and borked permissions.
