It's almost as if the metric system was designed to be useful to ordinary people rather than to fit a nice-looking model of units.

Most people use a ruler or their hands to measure things, not dial calipers. And most people don't want to have to say "230 millimeters" as opposed to "23 centimeters" (or more realistically, 20 centimeters).

Exchange servers weren't "rejecting" my email. They were giving me SMTP 250 (Queued mail for delivery) then silently failing to deliver it.

Hotmail sender support kept saying "I do not see anything offhand that would be preventing your mail from reaching our customers from this IP"

Also, my emails were and are text/plain.

I'm sure Exchange does reject malformed emails, but that wasn't my problem.

Let's turn that on its head. Do you prefer 0/100 F or -18/38 C for measuring typical weather temperatures?

And Fahrenheit's higher unit precision is a distinct advantage in taking and interpreting temperatures of people, particularly children.

Prisons are the largest form of welfare in the US. They provide food, clothing, shelter and medical care to millions and millions of people who would otherwise be out in the cold. You don't have to search very far to find tons of examples of ex-cons who deliberately commit crimes in order to be sent back to prison.
I think you've made a good point here. The article talks about emergent phenomenon, and how difficult it is to describe high level dynamics when one is simply looking at the components.

A "story" is the way to convey the dynamics of a complex system while conveniently discarding the constituents of that system. If we don't keep the components, how can we prove the story is true? One problem is no one really cares or thinks they know enough to challenge the story. They accept it at face value.

I feel this is a deeper limitation of human thinking. It's very difficult to see something at different levels simultaneously. We can understand behaviour on a high level (e.g. income inequality), and we can understand behaviour on a lower level (e.g. not having enough money to eat), but we can't intuitively understand how low level behaviours effect and affect high level behaviours.

It's not like we're not trying to understand, it's more that we don't even have a basis for understanding. We know how elections work, but it's so easy to intuitively think "my one vote doesn't really count". We're observing high level dynamics while simultaneously contributing to them.

It's weird. Like thinking about one's own consciousness.

There are no absolutes when it comes to criminal punishment. There is always an exception to everything.

So what are you saying? No company should improve its UI?

To be clear, Microsoft thought they were improving the start menu (the point-and-click, non-search usage of it) as well. It may be better, for all I know. But starting with Windows 8, I just totally stopped using it, so I can't weigh in on that.

Windows also comes with a tutorial at the beginning that explains the new UI.
I was using beautifulsoup with lxml backend I believe. I should have mentioned earlier. There were some other graph manipulation stuff too, like favoring links with more inlinks, keeping web crawler polite but still busy by looking at other domains. This is more expensive that extracting links I guess. I had a submission deadline, but whatever I tried in that time with Python didn't work. It was just easier to write faster code in Go (except maybe where regex are involved, now I remember I used some Go markup parser instead that is now in their library).

Rereading this hours later, I realize that the way I wrote it makes it sound like I'm talking about the word hacker. I'm actually talking about the word cracker, which was essentially a made up term that I'm fairly sure no 'hacker' ever used to describe themselves. The actual 'cracking' community broke DRM schemes and was affiliated with but basically orthogonal to the hacker/phreaker community.

Immutability != single assignment. Two separate concepts, often confused. Elixir is immutable but allows variable shadowing, in which a new variable with the same name is created and the old variable is tossed.
This is... not my experience at all. I have a RAIDZ2 comprised of 6 4TB Seagate drives (the 5900RPM variety) and it can do about 600MBps read/write with moderate CPU usage on an Intel i3. A mirrored zpool of two Samsung 850 EVO SSDs can do nearly 1GBps read/write. That's not a particularly expensive setup.

Note that in the US, prison is a multibillion dollar industry. It cost around $30,000 (on the low end) to incarcerate someone yearly. Even if they spend a day or two, someone is making money. Nothing to be said of the calling minutes. All in all this may be a $50-$100B industry in the US.

That is not going anyway.
My little racing drone is certainly carbon fiber but it weighs a couple hundred grams.

There hasn't been a recorded plane v drone crash that I've seen documented (the last one that hit the news ended up being birds).

Regardless the rules say under 400', not within 5 miles of an airport and some other locations.

I'm not opposed to a drone 'license plate', I'm all for fining or jailing people that are flying these things near the white house. I'm seeing a lot of hysteria right now triggered by some jackasses who can't be responsible with their toys.

It would be interesting to see a "When structural-typing is better than prismatic/schema" section in the readme. I read the readme, and I don't see why you can't use something like s/validate instead of built-like. So instead of:

(type! :Point (requires :x :y))
(some->> points
(all-built-like :Point)
(map color)
(map embellish))

To keep it simple, as in the first example of the whirlwind tour, we could use:

(def Point {:x s/Any :y s/Any})
(some->> points
(s/validate [Point])
(map color)
(map embellish))

It's good that structural-typing does not use macros, instead building ontop of specter which is pretty cool. So is there a performance enhancement?

It's clear that one should use structural-typing where an expertise with specter has been attained, Not sure when else it's the best choice.

When I saw that the argument was based on the outcomes at an Indian reservation I became very, very skeptical of the findings. Reservations are not an ideal arrangement, and there's plenty of evidence that many of their problems came out of "free cash" from the government or casinos. I personally think that over a large enough population free cash undermines the motivation to seek education or employment. Many of the youth there have severe drug and alcohol problems, far greater than global statistics that their rural demographic would suggest.

As a counter point, you could look at the success of Native American tribes that receive government grants or casino payouts, vs those that don't, such as the Lumbee Indians.
http://www.nativetimes.com/index.php/business/features/2470-...

In the case of the Lumbee, there's still a strong sense of helping out folks that need it, but the help is at the discretion of the tribe, not a government (or casino). Furthermore, they've built that system without much federal help.

Note that I'm not arguing for an all or nothing approach here, I think it's reasonable for the federal government to help the tribe financially. I don't think it's reasonable to have the government give money directly to individuals in the tribe.

Could it work? Of course, the data is abundantly clear here. If you treat prisoners like shit, then their chances of recidivism are much higher. If you want to reduce crime, then you have to treat prisoners well. There's really very little controversy here from an academic perspective.

The barrier is cultural. The public in the U.S., by and large, expects prisoners to be punished harshly. Retribution and deterrence rank way higher than rehabilitation in terms of the desired outcome of incarceration. As far as the average American is concerned, anything that happens inside of the prison walls, including but not limited to rape, murder, torture, is the price you pay for breaking the law.

If we want to have better prisons, then we'll need people to develop some degree of empathy for prisoners, and that's a tough battle in the U.S.
German here, living in the US (and liking it here in the US).

I can confirm that generally there is a different viewpoint. In Germany prison is somewhat of the last resort mostly to be avoided, and even then the aspect of rehabilitation (and deterrence) is most important.

In the US I find there's often a notion of revenge, as in "This person must suffer for what for (s)he did!"; and more severe sentences usually to be considered as "more justice".

Edit: Some spelling for clarity
How about giving people money, and if they are a heroin addict, let them have access to free heroin as well.

If you want to reduce crime, then you have to treat prisoners well.

There are no prisoners without there first being criminals.
When I first read your comment it immediately brought to mind privately run prisons, but after a few moments though I realised you're comment calls attention to the ongoing wealth transfer from the general tax-payer to the prison associated workforce, who then go on to spend that money in the general economy. Prison generates economic activity, which generates tax revenue. Governments have a vested interest in increasing tax revenue.

This is just one piece of the puzzle in a long-term

across language boundaries. I want to give people the
freedom to program in the language of their choice while
still interoperating freely with other languages.

The core problem to this is that reputation is valuable. Google or Twitter or Facebook or any of the other big web presences could offer a method to determine "reputation" of any of their users, and a way to canonically tie your identity to that reputation, but they'd be undermining their own business model. They want you to stay in their network, because the safety of interacting with only reputable users is the big selling point of their walled-garden social networks over open networks like email
This couldn't have come at a better time - I was actually looking for a durable message-queue written in Go. Is there any way to read more about the architecture of this system? I find systems like these to be quite fascinating but taking the time to go through the code can sometimes be very time-consuming. It would be awesome if more projects have a writeup as detailed as cockroachdb[0]!

Aside: There used to be a site sometime back which used to distribute compiled binaries of Go code for all platforms? Is it still up any chance?

"Nobody will remember you 200 years after you die"

It would be good to be "remembered" in 200 years but it would make little difference to you: you'll be dead. It won't matter anymore to you and to the extent that it matters to anyone else that interest maybe closer to "fun trivia things to know" than as someone they would aspire to emulate. How many people care about most roman emperors? How many people care about the vast swath of past US presidents? They were at the top of their game during their time (to varying degrees of course) but even the vast majority of them are still relegated to historical footnotes. In the big scheme of things that happens to even the greatest of men/women. Two decades ago Thomas Edison was the face of American inventiveness (deserved or not) but now to many people it has been supplanted by Steve Jobs (deserved or not). In a couple of years the same thing will happen to him.

Living with that idea as your ultimate goal is the vainest thing that you can do.

First, this assumes there is a perfect justice system to make the determination.

Second, you seem to imply that "criminal" is a category, like "Australian" or "blind".

The key phrase from OP is "if you want to reduce crime." Maybe you don't want to reduce crime. Maybe revenge and punishment is more important to you. That is a valid viewpoint, but not one I share and i would rather not live in such a society.
Just google prison worker union contributions :)
Criminals exist insofar as society views certain actions as crimes. What to do with criminals is also a social construct. Does the fact that crime exists necessitate prisons? I'd argue that we could choose to do something else other than incarcerate criminals. It shouldn't be hard to imagine at least a few ways prisons could be obviated.
