I am a huge fan of signal but it will never be the end game. Society needs communications that hide both content AND metadata. Signal only really hides content.

The only programs I am aware of that do both all have significant limitations in other areas and none have gone through rigorous peer review.

i2p-bote has mobile and desktop applications, can use possible post quantum secure encryption, it's asynchronous and real time, capable of multi party communication, and has optional delays between hops making it global passive adversary secure. Unfortunately it doesn't work well because many messages don't actually make it through. You can't send files greater than 500kb. Also it is not peer reviewed.

Bitmessage has multiparty communication and is asynchronous but has a terrible user interface, is hard to setup, no mobile application, no attachments, no peer review.

Ricochet works well and is easy to use but no attachments, it can't be asynchronous, no multiparty communication, and no peer review.

Haven't played with pond. It looks promising.

My wish list for the ultimate messenger: easy to use, secure by default, hides content and metadata, is multi party, can share arbitrarily large files, is both instantaneous and asynchronous, can be global passive adversary secure, is quantum computer secure, truly multi platform, and supports being signed in on multiple devices at once.
Answering your question, maybe a popover with text "Your program is not parsed" would help?

Also somehow I am used to "build" (instead of "parse") terminology, so my eyes just have not caught "parse" keyword. Though, I guess here nothing is built, only parsed. ;)

All in all some information, about parsing before running would add extra points to the UX.
I love PC gaming and I really dislike Windows.

I begrudgingly upgraded to Windows 10 because it will be the only OS with DirectX 12 support.

However the absurd level of phoning home the OS does made me also build a new machine running Debian, which I now use for all my work and general personal computing.

My Windows machine is gaming/Steam focused only now. No cloud integration, no Microsoft Account.

If 99% of games worked on Linux, or SteamOS makes good progress as a viable replacement for Windows on a desktop I'll drop Windows in a heart beat.

I have zero attachment to it and the OS offers nothing I can't get elsewhere. Except perhaps for Netflix, the Windows Store is a wasteland of terrible apps that for the most part are worse than their Win32 counterparts.
The stencil-then-cover trick only works if you're displaying on a flat surface. If you want to have your vector art in 3d, you need to use some other method or render vector shapes to texture first.

Opus SILK can go as low as 6000 bs. You can use it in existing VoIP solutions, VoIP over LoRa radio's would be very cool.. but I'm not sure if you can layer tcp/ip on top them yet.
I never thought about this but you're absolutely right, I've yet to see a great programmer who doesn't also write really well. This works both ways, too: sloppier programmers also tend to be sloppier writers.
It is the second coming of VRML and if it continues doing that, it will join it.

Rust doesn't require a VM or any prerequisites installed on a target system. In this regard it's comparable to Go (though I'm not sure that it's viable to statically compile everything into one binary, but technically it should be possible). Anyway, it compiles down to the machine code, so at most you'll need to have a bunch of libraries along with your executable file.

Hopefully you'll have a lot of fun with learning! :) Oh, and almost forgot: Rust community is one of the best that I've seen, so feel free to ask any questions on http://users.rust-lang.org - I'm sure there's a lot of people who'll be glad to help you.

I think this might matter most when it comes to self-driving cars. Google's cars have already been driving around for quite some time, in real traffic, against real drivers.

Can someone tell me what it means to have "no unsafe code"? (I'm a JavaScript developer with very little experience of languages like Rust and C++.)
Might as well not. The internet is open and neutral, facebook is made possible by this open internet but facebook is closed and partisan, a walled garden.

Facebook is an enemy of the internet and actively trying to replace the internet in the mind of people.

It makes sense that counter culture would use the internet a global connecting medium which doesn't care about who you are and what your fetish is allows you to meet and find other people sharing the same counter culture.

counter culture would rather go to 4chan than facebook, but when given the opportunity would hosts itself outside of these designated places.

Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 (Pre-release). If you want to build your C++ projects targeting Windows desktop without having Visual Studio installed on your computer, Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 provides the required tools: C++ compilers, libraries, build scripts, Windows SDKs. This Community Technology Preview ships with the same C++ compilers and libraries packaged with Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 RC (2015.1).
By using the open source toolchains, of course. See http://opencircuitdesign.com/qflow/ - it's capable of producing the OSU 0.35um output, ready for a fab. And with such a node you can inspect the result with nearly a bare eye.

> The reason why charter schools like Success Academy are popular is because it's strong focus and philosophy.

Which from today's NYT at http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/10/30/nyregion/at-a-success-a... apparently includes pushing out any students.

That is, says Brown, principal at Success Academy Fort Greene: "Some of them needed an alternative setting with highly specialized services".

You know where those (expensive) 'highly specialized' services are? Public schools.

After 19 suspensions, this both with ADHD now attends "Public School 119 in Brooklyn, where Ms. Wimbish said he was very happy and had not been suspended once."

Is it really the parents to blame? Or a 'one size fits all' discipline model that just happens to select for the easier, most compliant children?
It's the same project, I just been keeping it up to date and removed all the unsafe code. It never _needed_ unsafe code, but it was my first Rust project and I didn't know what the hell I was doing---it's now much cleaner, safer and faster than the incarnation you saw last year :)
Thank you for this research.

Reading about it and listening a talk from Percona's employees, I had similar thoughts, that the reasons for such name are just marketing-related. Actually, any traditional tree structure can be considered as recursive. So this name is just a trick.

Thanks.
Not really. The IRA was a relatively easy-to-understand phenomenon, and in the mainland UK generally saw causing civilian casualties as an propaganda own goal to be reduced through coded warnings rather than a means to achieve greater status in Paradise. And policing in Northern Ireland was far more draconian than occasionally confiscating journalists' laptops when politely questioning them might have yielded more useful results.

The 3.5k killings perpetrated by all sides over the course of the Troubles over many years also rather pales in comparison with the body count in the overseas conflicts that ISIS is also recruiting for.
Why do you care about efficiency? Use all your block rams for a cache to mitigate the dram inefficiency, and use the simplest possible controller. They can be quite simple, really, see this one for example: https://github.com/fpga-logi/logi-hard/blob/master/hdl/inter...
Main one is that you deliver less content if you serve JSON instead of HTTP.

Pros: You don't have to rebuild a full HTML page for every new query, be it server-side of client-side, you don't have to serve assets for every request and client doesn't have to recall/reinterpret them, less content means it's served faster,...

Cons: More strain is put on the client (virtual DOM, keeping the front-end framework in memory). Though it's negligible on most clients.
It is not a matter of not taking notes (code is notes), it is more a case of not writing code that handles all the edge cases, writing good comments, and most importantly taking the time to design the software and api's well. All of this is worth doing, but it takes a lot more time than just hacking together some code to test if an idea will work.

To answer your other question in science yes there is the equivalent of hacking something together just to see if the idea will work. It is very common to do a quick experiment to see if something will work before going back and doing all the controls and working out how robust the experimental conditions are. Science is hard and almost everything you do fails.
Rust allows you define blocks of unsafe code in which certain checks aren't enforced by the compiler. In these sections you have pretty much as much freedom as you always do in C.
EU Parliament Wants Asylum for Edward Snowden

I'm the author, no poo-poo-ing taken. You're completely right. The rendering code is shamelessly unoptimized indeed: doing frustum culling naively actually slows down the code because of the extra draw calls. I could probably get a boost in frame rate--by for instance memcpy-ing chunks into a dynamic buffer and keeping the single draw calls---although it already runs at 300 FPS on the integrated intel card of my laptop. So I'd rather add more features, testing and documentation than worry about perf just yet.

I'm used to thinking of it as being used in refrigerator magnets. I don't think I've had a magnetized wallet. It's pretty cool to see using magnetic viewing film or similar technique. The first example I found was at https://youtu.be/S9cOEb54oYE?t=188 .
Very useful indeed :)
That's my hope as well, but do they even plan on doing that? I know they're working on bringing TextSecure to Chrome as an extension, but that seems to be it.

I also agree with khed. Signal needs to hide metadata.
And you sound like luddite.

I appreciate the link. I'll comment more when I manage to find a full-text PDF, because the abstract doesn't instill confidence in the quality of study, and I've learned (and it was confirmed by various analyses) that you have to assume that any social science study from this decade is total and utter bullshit until proven otherwise. I particularly expect to find out that the study can be equally applicable to e-mail and most other sites people use on the Internet.

I don't think so. An Erlang process has no mutable state. But it can communicate with another Erlang process to set/get some state. This is how a lot of mutable structures are implemented in Erlang.
or what the media says the voters demand.

Because I remember a million voters marching against the iraq war in 2003 and the politicians did nothing about those voters demands, what they did was whatever tony had agreed with george 12 months earlier regardless of the will of the people.
Maybe, but at that point does your brain think in terms of probabilities and expected values anymore (if it ever did)?

For example, when you're comparing prices at a store, you might be so rational that you perfectly compute the expected payoff for each product and choose the optimal one.
But does your brain work the same way when deciding whether to steal the product too? If the expected payoff for that was higher, would you just go ahead and steal it?

Don't you think people might not think the same way about the more common cases and the less common cases?
Scala was also heavily ML influenced and is sometimes considered part of that family, so I think it's fair to relate the two.
As a caveat, I've never heard of this term before so may be wrong. I'm more pointing out the tools available, which I've used for similar sorts of analysis for other works and giving you a quick independent analysis.

Regarding your phrase "just a trick". In general, if you see a trademark then it's a "trick", as in a 'gimmick .. or device used to attain some end'. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gimmick#Noun .

But 'trick' also has the negative meaning 'Something designed to fool or swindle', ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/trick#Noun ) which is not the case here.

Personally, I would be happier with the term "just marketing", since a point of trademarks is to be distinguishable in the market, and because that phrase is a closer fit to the negative connotation I think you want to portray.
Why do you not find this believable?

In the UK there is a 24.2 year difference between the life expectancy for men in the Calton area of Glasgow and the national average. I think 33 years for the difference between longest and shortest expectancies in the US sounds about right.

The UK only has a facist government if you're willing to reduce the term to meaning "one I don't like". Take a country with one of the most diverse capitals on earth, with one of the last protectionist and most liberal capitalist systems in the world, democratic traditions that go back to the magna carta, and you get ... not facism.
Yeah, thats the idea. The vector art would be 2d, hanging in space and then the 3d stuff would move "through" it in contradictory ways. I'm pretty sure buffer trickery is the way to go. Thanks for your advice.
I agree that "the guarantees functional programming and data immutability offer" are very useful for "scalable parallelisation".

But this is not what I was answering to.

I was answering to the idea that FP and immutability are useful when you scale from 200K to 2M lines of code:

> the article you quoted mentions functional programming and immutable data as the step to go from 200K to 2M lines

In my opinion, this argument is irrelevant.

In languages like C and C++, you have precise control over memory allocation and pointers. If you want to say, "My data structure should contain exactly these bytes, and be located here", then you can easily do so. This low-level control makes C and C++ very fast. Similarly, the language does very little "behind your back." It's why most kernels, interpreters, web browsers, compilers and AAA games are still written in a low-level language like C or C++.

But this control comes at a price: You need to be very careful. You need to manage memory manually, you need to avoid accidentally writing into memory you don't own, and so on. Overlooking small details results in security bugs.

Rust attempts to provide the same low-level control as C and C++, but it adds safeguards which keep you from shooting yourself in the foot. In "safe" mode, all of these safeguards are fully engaged. In "unsafe" mode, Rust allows you to do some sketchy things. The idea is to use as much safe code as you can, and only use a tiny amount of unsafe code if you need to do something Rust can't prove to be safe.

For example, there's a great series of blog posts about writing a toy OS kernel in Rust: http://blog.phil-opp.com/ The author uses some assembly to set things up, and a tiny amount of "unsafe" Rust to directly access VGA memory. But all the higher level code is safe, which rules out a whole class of bugs.

Personally, I've spent a lot time using both C++ and functional languages. And for me, Rust hits a sweet spot: I can get down to the metal when I want, and I can build nice abstractions. And I can write almost all my code in "safe" mode, and not worry about dumb pointer bugs. It's an interesting combination and it makes me want to hack on new things. :-)
Not really. The Murdochs are quite enamoured with Cameron, but they're not in the least bit interested in doing what he asks of them (and just as obsessed with opposing proposed press censorship as they are with reporting on Islamic terrorism). The staunchly anti-present-government Guardian and the Mirror sell plenty of newspapers. And even that bastion of knee-jerk conservatism Daily Mail is happy to run smear stories on the Prime Minister as a major exclusive. Government control over media output in the UK is minimal at best.
And I'm okay with this. He talking to ISIS fighters over the internet. He was naive to think that MI6 wouldn't want to know precisely what he has been up to. I'm sure he is innocent and I'm sure MI6 aren't interested in him either; but more concerned with who he has been talking to. And don't worry, I'm sure he will get his computer back once they've cloned the hard disk.
