Ahh, confusingly worded. I would expect it to say something like "if you use pip install, don't use sudo" not "don't use sudo pip install" ... the alternative to "don't use sudo pip install" is ... everything else in the world, so I sort of assumed it just meant, don't use pip in general.

Those are fair concerns. I haven't seen the estimate for maximum amount of radiation the X-ray machine could generate when malfunctioning. We need those to see whether or not there is something to worry about.
It may have practical short term benefits but bending medicine to suit culture is not generally great. If somebody invented a way to prevent measles without a vaccine. It might be a good idea but not for the reason that it respects the will of parents who don't want their children vaccinated for "cultural" (i.e. superstitious) reasons.

It's a brilliant concept, and a timeline is a great way to be able to get a better understanding of disparate events.

And while the UI is beautiful, and beautifully animated, I'd argue that it could use a bit of improvement, it's very difficult to get any sense of what is going on in any timeline, it likes to pull up some major events which is nice, but they have no visual relation or range, and are too few are far between, then I'm just left to search through all the dots on the page for anything interesting. The filters are great, but when one is selected I feel that nothing really comes from it.

But I do really like the effort to provide something of use to explore history. I think some very minor improvements could go a very long way. My primary suggestions would be to have a more robust filtering mechanism, perhaps even arbitrary entry based, and then to use the vertical axis in some sort of capacity, perhaps location based?

> Here's a thing I always wanted to see but am too busy to do myself: an explorable map of the world with different overlays you could toggle and a separate temporal scrollbar. Something I could use to see e.g. how the borders changed over time by dragging the scrollbar (and that would be accurate - e.g. took into account that nation-states are a recent invention and borders had a different meaning in e.g. medieval times). Or follow the battles of World War II all over the world. Basically, interactively explorable history of humanity.

I too have been wanting something like this for a very long time... I even have a couple of very early prototypes lying around.
I am not sure of the source of the confusion. I meant TTS in the first part of my comment ("voice generation" isn't far from "speech synthesis", which is the title of the Wikipedia article for it in English) and both ASR and TTS in the second.

> Philosophically, the government should not be irradiating people without their consent under any circumstance.

So you are against public broadcasting systems? You also don't think that a government should have a moral duty to operate an emergency broadcast system for helping people deal with natural disasters? X-rays and radio waves are both EM radiation.

To be even more pedantic, this stance also means that a government building would not be able to have any lights or heaters (amongst other things). Or a cop searching for a suspect at night wouldn't be able to use a torch.

I think it's a bad, absolutist philosophical point to make.
Well then this is obviously not an issue for you. You don't sound like the type to be an "early adopter" for cars, so I think it would be out of character for a consumer like yourself to buy a Tesla is the first place.

I don't think they're alienating a significant portion of their demographic by not catering to people who only buy a car every one or two decades, especially considering they're selling a luxury sedan and they're the only successful American automotive company for at least a few decades.
Also true about bending rules to accommodate religion - after all it is a choice. But actually we do it all the time with disastrous effects.

If you've kept up with internet privacy news the last few years from things like the snowden or ashley madison scandals, how is it not your assumption that everything that is exposed to the internet is stored and indexed somewhere forever?
Well no, I don't think that's true. I don't think you'll find many people in the military who think 'oh I'm already killing this guy with the AK74 who's shooting at my buddies, I might as well shoot the pregnant woman with the 3-year old on her arm as well, just to be safe'.

I don't know about operations procedures, but I would imagine it's standard procedure to take out any armed people in the vicinity of your target. With drones you can't really just stun them or whatever, so yeah you have to kill them. But those aren't 'innocent bystanders'. They're enemy combatants in all meanings of the concept, and 'fair game' (sorry again if that sounds callous again).

Furthermore, I think it's easy but simplistic to say 'all these soldiers are remorseless killing machines', neither for on-the-ground troops, drone operators or generals who take the high level decisions. I think all of them have thought and think much more and harder about what it means to kill a person, and the fact that most of them in some form or another assist in killing people 'by accident', than you or I do. I also think that for the vast majority of them, this is a major psychological burden, something that literally haunts them at night. Yet they do what they do despite that, and I don't think that the majority of them do it because they're sadistic subhumans who get off on the idea of making children in an already bad situation on the other side of the world orphans.

So, if we can get past the 'killing people with drones is immoral no matter what' rhetoric, we can come back to the real question: what is the effect of drone usage on warfare, and more to the point of the OP, is the implied claim that 90% of drone killings are of innocent civilians accurate? And how does that compare to more conventional tactics, e.g. airstrikes by regular bombers, mortar attacks, or 'plain' action-movie style Special Forces droppings who engage in closed quarters shootouts?

You're comparing a two bed room house (at the low end of what's available for price, I'll add) to four bedroom rentals. I'm currently in a shared four bedroom house with five people; together, my wife and I pay $1500/mo for rent. Sharing one of the cheaper 4br houses equally amongst four housemates gives $800/mo. So, meh.

We are planning to get things together to buy a house; the quick survey just convinced us that it didn't make sense to rush in. We also feel that there's a decent possibility that the housing prices actually are bubbly, which makes us less inclined to rush out and buy something. Overall, the exercise convinced us to wait a bit and get together enough to shoot for a 20yr mortgage.

It's not reasonable to insist on zero collateral damage of e.g. bodyguards, family, associates, etc., but still support drone strikes. If you resolve to assassinate a single person it's pretty much a given that you will very likely have to also take out bodyguards and possibly family members and other associates as well. If we don't like that then we shouldn't be assassinating people in the first place, especially by drone strike which is almost certain to have a higher rate of collateral damage.

It is reasonable, however, to support drone strikes accepting the collateral damage but also insisting on a very high level of certainty, perhaps to the point of direct line of sight by someone trusted and nearby, that the target is where we think he is.
Do developers often need to create prototypes for UX/UI designs?
As we know, prototypes are usually created by UX designers or product designers. But, in my company, the developers often do the job. Is it the case for you, my fellows?
Facts were stated, but not the salient one: what proportion of the population experience those things, which is what the comment's parent was talking about. You could have a secret court that decides to kill one person per year, but one person out of a nation of 300M does not a police state make.

TL;DR: A sense of proportion is missing from the factoids.

Can someone qualified comment on whether group selection is taken seriously among biologists now? I haven't followed the debate much but Dawkins at least has argued that group selection acts too slowly compared to individual selection to be an important force in evolution.

In either case I don't think it has much bearing on Amazon. In both cases evolution is just a metaphor/scienciness.

> It may have practical short term benefits but bending medicine to suit culture is not generally great.

Medicine treats people, and people have culture. Adapting medicine to address cultural concerns is potentially as beneficial as any other adaptation to the actual patient you are trying to treat, rather than some idealized patient that doesn't actually match the one that's in front of you.
I am a big fan of the Asus Zenbook Core M (http://www.ultrabookreview.com/5868-asus-zenbook-ux305-revie...).

Low power CPU, plenty of RAM, large enough SSD, 1080p, and a matte screen. As I spend most of my time in remote SSH terminals, the Core M doesn't bother me. It is lightweight and fast enough.

I am looking forward to the updated Zenbook, supposed to be released this quarter.

Also, the price is right on.

One significant bonus in drastically reducing javascript is improved battery life.

> Another thing this article didn't touch on was latency. When I was doing work for vehicles that had poor internet access via satellite every single http call just killed the load (this included fetching css, javascript, etc). I can't stress enough how much better your page can load if you combine as much stuff as possible, even images if you can display them as backgrounds.

This, so much this. Particularly with the growing marketplace out side of 1st world countries. Fewer calls of any type are of significant value. Reduce DNS calls, host everything from the same domain where possible, etc. etc.

You sound determined to believe this, so best of luck to you!
The graphs are a travesty of detail, and I suspect that the more you poke it, the worse the results get. There's a definite downward trend in speedup as you increase vector size, and that is completely different from what you would naively expect (at larger vector sizes, you spend more time in the embarrassingly-parallelizable kernel)--so this suggests that the baseline itself is not scalar code but vector code.

So what the graphs end up highlighting is that the CPython (NumPy?) has decent overhead on tiny calls that don't really matter for gross performance. As you say, 128 elements is tiny: that's where I'd consider starting a graph, not ending it. At 4 elements, you're looking at about 40 clock cycles to do a simple vector-add in the scalar case (I think x86 L1 cache hits are ~3 clock cycles and there are two load/store units; if these numbers are wrong, my estimate is off). This also means that there's absolutely no measurement of the overhead of the JIT autovectorizing operation (!), which is quite significant because the usual resistance to adding autovectorizers in JITs [1] is that they're way too slow for the speedup they give.

[1] As far as I'm aware, the only other JIT of note that includes an autovectorizer is the Hotspot JVM. The approach taken by other people (e.g., .NET CLR) is to effectively expose a SIMD primitive in the bytecode and get compilers to target those via static autovectorization instead of autovectorizing at runtime.

Great project;
I think that BoringSSL is more geared towards server applications. I think the major improvements here are:

- improvements in how they handle locks and effort to avoid locks + use of thread local storage.

- better protocol test suites (adopted from GO SSL implementation)

- very good they threw out support for TLS renegotiation; nobody understands that, in addition it is always a big source of bugs.

i am not sure that a good quality non blocking native random number generator is available on all client platform (other than linux), interesting that they also try to use BoringSSL in chrome (maybe here it would have been better to use the old crypto number generator where you only have to bother about a good random seed values)

( BTW do they have the good /dev/urandom in android ? Here they say the android has just /dev/urandom - no /dev/random at all, so this seems to be general google policy at google.

Collection of quotes from Q&A with Brian Kernighan
Took some notes at his Q&A session @ Paperless Post Tech Talks tonight:

"There are more programming languages than we need. It would have been nice to have some consolidation."

"I think GO is excellent for concurrency. Lightweight channel mechanism makes it easy to share data between channels."

"Traversed Google's source tree (over NFS) w/ Python. Rewrote it in GO and it ran about 1/3 faster."

"If ‘what you see is what you get'; you might miss some of the critical information that you can’t see."

"Take home tests make a bit more sense. The question is, who grades those things? Are they qualified?"

"Writing code as tests is cruel. Time limits are unfair. You want to encourage people to think before they write code.”

"Mixed feelings on CS programs @ public schools. Who is teaching them? Are they qualified? What do we give up?"

"Programming languages tend not to die; the better question is, how we do we kill them off?"

In the same way that a person dressed in the black garb worn by stagehands, by theatrical convention, passes as invisible. The appearance of bombs in movies is an artistic convention designed to provide dramatic tension.

The demo should really be 128 thousand elements or 128 million.

128 elements is still useful for when you have an inner loop that has a small vector operation. Most of the time this is not the case though.
For native apps:

* CLI tools present in my terminal's specified fonts and colours. Near total control. The main exceptions are ANSI escapes, and even those I can limit to black-and-white -- usually normal, bold, and reverse-video.

* Most desktop apps integrate into some desktop enviornment (or environment(s)) for font size(s), colours, etc. OSX is actually something of an exception, which I realised when trying to see how I might set that up for a visually disabled friend.

* Even where desktop apps don't have systemwide configuration tools, you're generally seeing the same toolkit (or limited set of toolkits) in use. Most of the experience is highly uniform.

* Straight-up text presentation is typically quite good. Far superior to Web tools.
Dawkins introduced selection on the individual level in The Selfish Gene (great book, before he became all ranty and weird).
