Maybe Microsoft, Google, Apple and Mozilla could get together, and configure their OSes and browsers to do DNS lookups by default using a system different than ICANN's via security updates.

That would make ICANN mostly irrelevant in less than a year.

Also, it improves security, since you are already trusting your browser vendor and would no longer need to trust ICANN, registrars and the CA system as well.
Well if MS thought they had a better model, they could have proposed it to the W3C and introduced it as -ms-box-model or something. Even if IE's model were superior, it was disastrous to have two contradicting models in different browsers. Maybe whole debacle with 'quirks-mode' could have been avoided.

>But there is one talent that does decline over time—our willingness to take risks. For evolutionary reasons, risk-taking peaks between the ages of 17 to 27, then drops off precipitously. [...] risk-taking is so important to business success today, that it is better to sacrifice the improved skills, enhanced problem solving abilities, and considerable emotional control that comes with age, for the risk-philic-ness that is a by-product of youth.

So this tells us how certain we are that they cause cancer. And we are certain that red meat causes cancer, and we are certain that smoking causes cancer.

This ranking does not tell us how much cancer is caused. We know that there is a low risk of colon cancer, and that eating red meat will increase that risk by about 15 to 20%. This ends up at a very low risk.

Cigarettes massively increase the risk of lung cancer. (And other cancers).

Yep, right, I forgot: globs are expanded after IFS word splitting.
I retract my comment about globbing not working with spaces, and instead I'll add this one:

app/views/foo/**/*

If the above does not match any file and you are not lucky enough to use nullglob, your script iterates once in the loop with the value bound to the pattern itself! (I learnt this from http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/filenames-in-shell.html, which is quite informative).

I honestly commend you for writing a Bash library to solve problems people can have with bash ("Fight fire with fire"). I looked for other libraries, by curiosity, and unsurprisingly there are a lot of them. See this list: http://elinux.org/Scriptin.

One could wonder whether USA1913 was stable in the long term. It probably operated on unlimited resources for some part (land, at least). It's the limited resources which require us nowadays to care for unemployed people, because we've built the system without including their food/shelter. For example Australia is, to this day, the new America (23% taxes at $80k), but it's also only 20M people and exploiting still-abundant mines.

> Second, a lot of homeless in NYC are that way by choice rather than by direct inability to get a room somewhere. Sometimes this is due to mental issues which are not caused by low income.

I've been homeless, so perhaps you'll forgive me for being biased against thinking like that.

I would never class mental illness as a choice, or of poor decisions whilst someone is suffering mental illness as a choice.

It sounds to me a lot like victim blaming. That a person may "choose" to be homeless because they have mental illness... isn't that more like a lack of compassion by fellow citizens to help support those who are suffering from mental illness?

Would it be different if it were a physical illness? That man is homeless because he chose to be due to having a broken leg. That sounds ridiculous, and frankly that's how your statement sounds to me.

I "chose" to be homeless. Sure, my choice. I could've stayed in a violent and sexually abusive environment and living in poverty. But instead it was my "choice" to sleep on the streets to escape it.

I didn't even choose hostels - I voluntarily declined a bed to sleep in - because when you've come from a shared sleeping environment in which you were not safe and feared physical abuse nightly, then you may understand my reticence to enter a shared sleeping environment with strangers, some of whom as you pointed out may have mental illness.

Perhaps this is all just a mental construct to make you feel better about yourself. If you are able to imagine that these people took responsibility for themselves and this was a free choice, you are able to absolve yourself of any individual part of the responsibility to show compassion and empathy towards fellow humans.

If all we've got to offer people as a society, is a "choice" to sleep without shelter, without warmth, without safety... I'm not really seeing how anyone can say that people "choose" this.

Edit: Whilst this issue has attention: http://crackandcider.com/ I'd urge anyone doing secret santa's, or just feeling flush to go there, and buy things for homeless people. They're good people, taking no profit but covering costs, and just giving this stuff to people who need it.

I owned an A500 and later a pimped out A1200 (with an 80Mb hard drive!) back in the 90s and really loved them. I learned programming using AMOS and Blitz Basic. I dabbled with 3D modelling and rendering using Imagine. And of course there were so many awesome games - Lemmings, Populous, Civilisation, Monkey Island, Mega-lo-Mania, Speedball 2, Worms, Sensible Soccer, Hired Guns, the list goes on...

But around the time Doom was released on PC, it seemed like the Amiga's graphics performance, once so ahead of its time, had fallen far behind. I switched to a Pentium 60 PC and apart from the occasional twang of nostalgia have never looked back.

I'm really curious what the motivation is for those die hard Amiga fans and hackers now, so many years later. Is it nostalgia, the community, the technical challenge of working within the system's limitations? What is keeping you around?

host/domain name is way to overabused, people should be using info resouce to find the site they are looking for. This way chrome stepped in the right direction moving people away from domains. There can be other software/internet constructs to navigate to right result, domain names are just vanity plates. It helps it if it easier to type the domain up but only for maybe top 10 sites that you use. Those sites are already there and are well known. for the rest autocomplete, bookmarks and history are used.

what i have been noticing my redirect to search on unknown domain names has been failing more and more, cause is that there are too many domains other so if I type "domain names dog", browser can't send me to google anymore to find if there are domain names .dog, I just get host not found error.

See also http://prometheus.io/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjN23GgCzQY for an intro.
This is such a fuss about nothing. The fact that Cavaco Silva mentioned the EU when announcing this has blown this out of all proportion. This has nothing to do with the EU. It is a president allowing the incumbent prime minister and leader of the largest party (to which the president also belongs) to form a minority government. This is exactly what normally happens in Portugal in this situation. It has nothing to do with the EU, and nothing to do with a right wing stitch up. It was a decision made by the president, as he is supposed to do, with no input from the EU. But why let the facts get in the way when this can get both the left-wing anti-cuts brigade and the right-wing eurosceptics frothing at the mouth.
> Give everyone fuck you money.

Um, if everyone has that much money, then it's not really a dramatic amount of money is it?

Having enough universal basic income to live on meagerly is one thing, but it's mathematically impossible to give everyone enough for everyone to be rich.

Way back when in the 486 days, I was poking around simtelnet and found a K&R C compiler. This one, I think:

http://www.filewatcher.com/m/pcc12c.zip.175811-0.html

It came with a demo game, which was a Caterpillar clone which ran in text mode. (Unfortunately the archive above doesn't have the source, only the executable.) This game used loops for timing.

When I ran it on my high-end 486, at a whole 66MHz, the screen would flicker madly for a couple of seconds and then the game would exit. In that time it had run through all three lives with no user input.

That 486 was at least an order of magnitude faster than the 4.77MHz 8088 that the game had been written for. And modern machines are a good couple of orders of magnitude faster still. I wonder how long that game would take to run on the desktop I'm typing this on...

> Brave. Men don't get anything for free anyway.

Do you mean that male humans don't get anything for free, or do you mean that as in people? Because in certain societies (ahem large swathes of Europe) there are social safety nets in place to prevent precisely this type of thing from happening. Lose your job? You get a percentage of your old salary for a fixed number of months to allow you to transition to a new job.

But i'm not quite sure what you are trying to imply.

For example? What are the alternatives?

The only other option I can think of to get a good result that stands out is inDesign, which also require a fair amount of fiddling, it's expensive (unless you download it illegally, which means more fiddling plus, you know, breaking the law), and removes all possibility for automation and version control.

If, on the other side, you're suggesting to use MS Word or LibreOffice or similar, then I'm afraid we have dramatically different standards...

Taxation is not partial slavery because the money is not yours to begin with. What you "earn" is partly due to your efforts, and partly due to you utilizing the infrastructure and institutions built by everyone else. So a part of your "earnings" is society's. That part is called taxes: what you owe to those who enable you to earn.

We can also put taxes on corporations instead of people. Corporations are not humans, and therefore cannot be made slaves.
But they weren't because money. So people die.
Oh come one. Comparing CLHash against CityHash and SipHash only? CityHash was replaced by FarmHash some year ago, and only python uses SipHash with its outrageously bad performance.

The fastest and mostly-secure 64bit hash functions are Metro, Spooky, xxHash64 and Multilinear-HM by the same author. See "Strongly universal string hashing is fast", Daniel Lemire and Owen Kaser, 2014.

what i have been noticing my redirect to search on unknown domain names has been failing more and more, cause is that there are too many domains other so if I type "domain names dog", browser can't send me to google anymore to find if there are domain names .dog, I just get host not found error.

Domains can't have spaces, so if you type as such, you'll still get a search in any browser (that has search-in-URL-bar enabled, of course).

What kind of realistic search query without spaces and ending in ".dog" do you see yourself doing?
Before i thought mastering regexp were a must to have in a day to day programmer job to quickly modify data with different syntax.

Now i am still convinced that regexp are still usefull but you will not get it right for the first try due to syntax corner case.
The best solution in my opinion is to have easy to use parsers including one for your main programming language.

Actually i emacs with its macro feature (not elisp) + racket with regexp (didn't mention earlier but having a strong repl for this kind of incremental script is also a must to have) and sometimes parsers.
I've been homeless. Counting people in shop doorways,etc would be a poor measure anyway.

And, someone 'who worked with the homeless' would be unlikely to spot the majority of people who were homeless.

It's not something you go around advertising unless you're in a certain outlying subset.

To my mind, in the UK at least, many of the 'people who work with the homeless' are often part of the problem.

From where do you manufacture this confidence? Insurance is a highly competitive business and we/you know virtually nothing about this company. No financials. No growth metrics. An unknown number of employees. Leverage? No. Cash on hand? nah.

We have a few sentences from a narrator with less credibility than Holden Caufield throwing out some lofty claim that sounds a lot more like a survey disguised as a question, than an engineer wrestling with the magnitude of a breakthrough. I would hesitate before projecting confidence with this little information. There are many hypothetical situations I could imagine that run counter to your appraisal, but I could never get comfortable with them because with no data or info it would be quite baseless.

Caveat, I believe the main post to be utter bullshit. I would assume someone thoughtful enough to build this system would likely have considered this before working for several months on this without consulting anyone in the company. Further, s/he doesn't participate in the discussion at all which is what I would expect from someone wrestling with an ethical issue. They would have likely made a decision and tried to justify and defend it in the comments section.
