> huge impact? I disbelieve.

Of course he could have. Every debate has a huge impact on the news coverage and national discourse for days afterward. Bernie is forcing Hillary outside of her establishment comfort zone, just today saying she'd let "big banks fail". If Lessig's was in 2nd we'd be hearing a lot more talk of Super PACs/Citizens United.

> Lessig's judgment that he even considers himself qualified for the Presidency.... has no political experience

Compared to Trump, a bully and intellectual lightweight. Or Carson, a neurosurgeon who promotes in creationism? His poor judgement was not running, but saying he'd quit after he accomplished his goal. No one could take him seriously talking like that, and he even later admitted it was his biggest mistake.

According to holon theory, everything that can be considered a "whole" (eg: a particle) emerges from a stack of parts which in turn can be considered wholes which emerge from their own stack of parts. This goes all the way up and all the way down.

Eg: A cell emerges from proteins (among other parts) which emerge from amino-acids, which emerge from molecules, which emerge from atoms, which emerge from particles, which emerge from more fundamental particles, which emerge from probability fields, which emerge from probability fields, etc...
[I assume, but don't know, that GEC 4000 was influenced by Brinch Hansen's RC 4000, but all I remember about the then-ancient RC 4000 at the Niels Bohr Institute was that it seemed pretty primitive and the systems language was Algol, c.f. OS4000's structured assembler, and was pretty grotty.]

I don't know to what extent security was the reason for the hardware nucleus rather than a by-product of the fast system. (I recall French colleagues thought the context switching was slow, thiking it must be in milliseconds, not microseconds.) However, the software versions for the later OS6000 and whatever the 88k implementation was called, seemed OK.

I don't understand the reference to the paper. I don't think there was any formal verification in OS4000 (or the hardware, given the 4190 arithmetic bug), or GC in Nucleus, and the typed assembler doesn't look to have much in common with Babbage. Which company?

Good to see an OS4000 user who appreciates its significance after all this time, anyhow.

Frankly it is a stupid choice.

"Have you got signal?", "Get signal so I can message you!"

It is already a widely used word relating to cell phones. Even with context, it's not obvious which "Signal" one is necessarily referring to.

Eventually Linux will find out that those new overflow functions produce better ASM code by checking the overflag FLAG. This is in HW, use it, and don't fallback to inline assembly.
jo +2 is much better than the previous code, even if the C function looks insane, yes. I agree with that. I also replaced all our crazy manual overflow checks with these new builtins, and with mult and signed add/sub it made it much faster and easier to read. The uadd/usub cases are indeed quirky, but at least consistent.

Summary: Linus is way off here.
Great idea! Good work and good luck!
>that all the individuals on the starship are tracked at all times

The tracking as such seems to be pretty passive most of the time - the computer has to be asked before telling the bridge crew where someone is (for dramatic effect), even if they've been confined to quarters, or sucked into a parallel universe. It could be that the computer is constantly monitoring the crew, or that while it has the capability to track anyone on the ship at any time (which is plausible) this is only used when necessary.

Edit: now that I think about it, the latter would make sense on a ship which would be expected to occasionally house diplomats or dignitaries, who might expect some degree of privacy. Also, we can infer from episodes like The Ultimate Computer that there is kind of a mistrust of strong AI among the Federation, which would justify the computer defaulting to privacy unless explicitly being commanded to do otherwise.
the big companies only recruit the best top 20 Computer Science university students

This is not true. Source: I'm not a 'top 20 Computer Science student' and just signed my offer at a major company.

My advice would be to find a professor at your university who's research and attitude you admire. Talk to him/her about your goals of doing an internship in the US and don't be shy to show some enthusiasm. Show that you're willing work hard. If you build up a good relationship with the professor, he/she will likely introduce you to some contacts. Find a good balance between not being too picky on the position or just blatantly accepting anything.

Good luck!

Offering immunity to everyone who just followed orders is far more drastic than offering immunity specifically only to those who actually takes the step of whistleblowing before the issue becomes known.

The former creates no incentive to be a whistleblower - it just takes away one of the risks of doing so. The latter creates a strong incentive to be the first to report something.
Then you should look at System XVI.

As an anecdotal data point, that assumption survived approximately no time at all during a recent exercise I was involved with evaluating how to build a new and reasonably large web app. With similar scepticism but trying to keep an open mind, we did an experiment allowing the entire DOM to rerender from a top-level React component when the underlying data model changed. It performed pretty much as badly as everyone thought it obviously would.

We then switched to exploring more standard approaches like having individual components monitor the relevant model events and manage their own state, using React's rendering model at a much finer granularity. We haven't finished our investigations yet and there are some other concerns about React's performance under certain conditions, but so far, the finer-grained approach seems more promising and is our most likely way forward for this particular project.
I don't understand, if nobody knows what team hacked it, and nobody knows anything about the actual exploits, or whether the payment was really made, how can anyone prove this is actually real?

Interesting, because my wife (non-tech, but still nerdy EE) and I communicate a lot via IRC! I've never used Slack, but my assumption is that it's ephemeral messaging at the core. Could you expand on how you archive recipes?

I should probably expand that IRC for us is pretty stateful, since we both run our own irssi instances in screen on a VPS.
Interesting, as a kid, all I saw in ST was ... bureaucracy. It looked like my father's office, except post modern.
If the P/E ratio had been very low, I think he would have used it.

The problem with using P/E for an eleven year old company like Yelp is that E is still very small or non-existant and hasn't been changing fast, so the P looks ridiculous.
I think the public here is the Hacker News/SV SWE community. As others have said, a good portion of livecoding's target demographic now has a negative view of their management.
This is sort of stupid. Maybe the Confederates were more likely to be clean shaven because the Deep South is hotter than hell and there was no air conditioning at the time of the Civil War. It seems to me that the northerners tended towards longer beards and the southerners towards shorter ones. Perhaps weather is a big factor there.

My understanding is the Deep South is the source of such wise tidbits as "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen" and they had outdoor kitchens for summer cooking to avoid heating the entire house. This tradition continues in some sense in that grilling outdoors is fairly popular in during summer in the South.

I grew up in Georgia, yet I pass out in the heat of Florida. If I were a man in the Deep South, I imagine I would be clean shaven just to try to stay cool.

This is just a really terrible analysis.

Regardless of how you fall on this issue, this article is clearly highly biased.

If you read their link "detailed data"[0] you can see there is an issue but you can also see that the level of invasion is low with most telemetry disabled.

This article links to that, but then ignores that author's conclusions (that it is a relatively light level of privacy invasion) to draw this conclusion:

> So how concerned should users be about Windows 10’s default data collection policies? I would say very.

But the author's articles are only really pro-Apple and anti-Microsoft, just look at their back catalogue [1]. They've written about Windows 10 problems weekly for months, getting more and more inflammatory each time.

So how concerned should readers be about the author's obvious bias? I would say very.

Again, you can use HipChat and get something closer to the best of both worlds; drag-and-drop file sharing with a standard (well… more standard-ish) OS X interface. It's great for you that look-and-feel isn't so important to you, but it is to a lot of people, and that includes myself.

At any rate, on Slack, I once drag-and-dropped a text file with the output of a shell script that a colleague wanted to see. He started telling me how it was strange that the output seemed to cut off right in the middle of a line. lol, just kidding, Slack was just cutting it off like that, since Slack apparently can't show more than the first few K of a text file for some reason SO WHY IS IT SHOWING IT AT ALL ARGH
The mental illness hypothesis seems disturbingly close to home here. Nothing justifies egregious behavior but we could be more compassionate for the people involved.
The argument that a vote for nader is a vote for bush is flawed. The basic premise of voting is that you vote to support a candidate and or a set of ideas you align with. Its a step better than voting "none of the above" as it provides an idea of what you would prefer.

The concept of voting for the "lesser of two evils" just further perpetuates the mess that we find ourselves in today.

Meta: Earlier in the scandal, I recall reading that the engine management software is from Bosch. I should read further, looking for confirmation of this.

If that is the case, then this is an example of the maxim: When you provide a feature, someone will use it to their own ends -- meaning, "misuse" it.

Another example to wave in front of all those politicians and people advocating for encryption "back doors".

If you put the feature in there, people will use it any way that suits them. Including and especially ways that you did not intend nor want.

If it wasn't Bosch, perhaps there was nonetheless some "legitimate" argument within VW for adding this functionality. Enough to get the software folks -- particularly those not making big bucks off of the deal -- to implement this.

But an observant engineer might nonetheless ask themself, 'what might hypothetically be done with this?' And the engineer with a little more real world experience ("the cynic" ;-) might assume that someone will do it, sooner or later.

That was part of my reputation, for a while: Thinking of what was possible, and assuming -- or insisting -- it needed to be addressed. A year or two later, having done so would prove to have been of benefit. It would sometimes piss Management off, in the short term. But eventually, they came around.

Anyway, looking from the outside or the inside: If it's there and can be used "that way", someone's going to get around to doing so.

The A4, Q5, Q7, Touraeg, Phaeton, and a lot of other VW vehicles which used the same 3.0TDI have the exact same rated power, which suggests that the engine calibration probably was shared as well. So I think it's plausible that Porsche dropped the engine in, went through their usual drive testing and tuning, and never thought about the emissions since they were already handled on the VW side.

Why would you distrust it if the dev switch has been switched? As long as the write-protect screw hasn't been turned, you can trust the root of trust when the dev switch is switched back.
I disagree. Microsoft Office hasn't looked like the rest of Windows for years. iTunes looks unlike any other OS X app. Photoshop has never used native UI. Non-native UI can be done very well as long as it's not entirely foreign, or an uncanny emulation of almost-native.

"diffing the entire virtual DOM for every update is basically free in comparison"

If you use something like Immutable.js you can avoid a lot (most? all?) of the diffing since comparing trees of objects becomes a simple object reference comparison. This is common in the Om world, and becoming more popular in JS too.

I've got some serious end point bias going on, but the bottom was ~700 in March '09, and it's currently at 2,100. Triple in that time is actually 18% annualized (6.5th root of 3).

There's definitely better ways of measuring "are we near a top", but "length of bull market" isn't meaningless. There have been a few longer ones, and only one ('49 - '61) that was nearly this productive at the 7 year mark.

While Nader realized he would lose the election, he made a big point of trying to capture 5% of the vote and also trying to raise additional awareness of his core agenda.

How about this: A very strongly worded statement with a huge assumption stating almost certainty, with a small caveat of 'in my experience' allowing me to refute anyone who might spend time listing out all of the examples of how this is wrong.

In MY experience, it is Certainly good UX to not have to learn multiple ways of doing things, one for the in-browser experience, and one for the desktop experience.
A few issues:

One, passes have to special case BB arguments whether they are phi nodes or not ;)

IE this doesn't actually make something like constant propagation easier. You still have to perform the meet operations. You still have to go and look what arguments were passed to your basic block.

In the phi node case, they are right there. I assume they link the basic block parameters to things passing those parameters, in which case: they are essentially phi nodes.

Second. It's really easy to create phi nodes. Creating basic blocks is a heavyweight thing (maybe not in SIL, but in general).

For most compilers, creating basic blocks requires messing with the CFG, update dominator info, etc.

However, if want to put something in loop closed SSA form, i can just drop in a bunch of phi nodes without messing with the CFG. In their form, i'd have to add basic block arguments to a bunch of blocks.

Additionally, phi nodes have natural analogues, like in SSI form, etc.

It's harder to represent the splitting operating sigma nodes perform in a basic block form.
