There's the dub package manager for D. http://code.dlang.org/

I don't think I'd want web and mail servers straight into the standard library out of the box. Those are way too specific. For example, there's already vibe.d for web servers and its doing an excellent job. They even have compile-time HTML templates!

As for IDEs, on Windows I've recently used VisualD and it did a good job. It's not yet as complete as the C# integration of Visual Studio (especially when taking ReSharper into account), but it definitely feels like an IDE. It already has improved hugely over when I last used it last year.
Police Killings Surpass the Worst Years of Lynching, and a Movement Responds
Lurked for months, finally registered in order to post the following opinion: when somebody is very obviously overweight, they got that way by eating and exercising abnormally. To get healthy, sometimes the best route is, then, to eat and exercise abnormally.

'Lifestyle change' is in order -- agreed -- but it's honestly a lot easier when you push harder. For some people anyway.

It's like smoking. Sometimes just quitting cold turkey works better than continuing to reward yourself with a cigarette.

My brother lost 70kg in 2 years by hitting the treadmill for an hour a day. He's now just 70kg, and still runs for an hour a day. The extreme worked for him (he doesn't under-eat).

The first bite of food in a day starts the pangs for more, so sometimes delaying works really well. If you hit the gym for 90 mins (including commute, let's say) and cook instead of getting fast food, and get 7-8 hours of sleep, suddenly the time you have to stuff your face is drastically reduced. That's one benefit of doing stuff other than sitting.

What you do has a lot more of an impact on your diet than the actual food. You won't feel like eating a 500-calorie chocolate bar when you can see the spectre of 500-calorie-burning you sweating tonight at the gym.
Let's define the "route" to be Chicago to Los Angeles. UP and BNSF both serve that route (with different tracks). NS and CSX don't serve that route, because they have no tracks out there.

Now take the route from Flagstaff, Arizona, to Los Angeles. BNSF is the only one who serves that route, because they're the only railroad that has tracks to Flagstaff. So BNSF has a monopoly on railroad service to Flagstaff.

But the fact is, there's not enough railroad traffic that originates in Flagstaff to make it economically worthwhile to have two different rail lines.

And in fact, this kind of "monopoly" has always been an issue with rail service. If you have a factory in Chicago, there were something like 18 different railroads that served Chicago back in the day, but only one of them had a track to your door. So you only had one choice for your factory, even though there were 18 railroads in town.

On the other hand: That railroad had a monopoly on your rail service because they built a track to your door (at their expense), and the other 17 railroads didn't. So I have a hard time getting too upset about this kind of "monopoly" as any kind of unfairness.

The fact is, though, the main railroad competition is trucks, not other railroads. (Also barges, for low-speed bulk stuff.) And the trucks (and barges) are running on highways (and waterways) paid for with taxes (including the truck's gasoline taxes), whereas the railroads are paying for their track (and paying taxes on it).

ATMs, banks, and financial institutions invested a lot into OS/2 in the early 1990s. They want to run the same legacy software on modern machines so they need eComStation or Blue Lion to do that.

OS/2 2.X runs great in QEMU and so does OS/2 3.0 WARP. I run OS/2 in a virtual machine because it is hard to get the older versions to run on bare metal.

The cost of rewriting the legacy OS/2 software to modern Windows costs more than just buying a new OS/2 license for a modern PC that could run it on modern hardware.
I can avoid social interaction with good connectivity and a thousand people around, or with only a few, but ten or twenty people (and nothing to distract me or them from having to talk!) seems like it would make that impossible without actually being antisocial...
Seems to have been formed from ex-eComStation people (see https://www.arcanoae.com/about/). I wonder if they have to start from scratch with whatever enhancements were added to eCS, or if they are able to access the eCS source by some means.

> I always find myself wondering why doctors don't spend more time on helping people keep their own organs functioning instead of on this kind of stuff.

AFAIK, most of medical research is about "helping people keep their own organs functioning", by improving therapies, supportive treatments, and surgical interventions. (Of course, artificial replacements for one organ can also be a supportive treatment for keeping other original organs functional.)

> ...because we are only going to offer you something Frankensteinian like this and not offer better options for healing the tissues you were born with.

Generally, artificial replacements aren't offered where there are good, or even remotely viable, options for healing the tissues you were born with.

Q: What do you call a language that doesn't change year after year?

A: Dead.

There was a great interview with the folks at the OED about why they added words to the dictionary that someone had just "made up" (like 'selfie'). And their answer was simply that all words are made up at some point, and trying out a new word exposes it to the population and ones that effectively communicate a concept or idea get picked up and distributed. That is how the language evolves to deal with a world and a society that evolves.

On the flip side, many folks are rather annoyed that technologists took previously fine words and repurposed them for their own use and now they speak a language that sounds like English but isn't understandable by non-techies.

I'm guessing the OED folks would have preferred that new words were created to cover that case :-)

The vast majority of developers, even at twitter, are not building user facing frontend features for the consumer market. They are building ETL jobs to shovel data from postgres to vertica, a CRUD app used to track erroneous shipments, or feeding VaR estimates to the SEC. At most you are arguing that product teams at consumer oriented companies need a few token minorities.

But supposing these affinity effects are real, and extend beyond consumer products, then if your customer base doesn't contain these minorities then their presence on your product team might be harmful. I.e., MongoDB or Washington Square Tech should NOT hire a black guy, since a black guy's experience is significantly different from the (white/Asian) rockstar ninjas and banksters making up the customer base. Is this also a conclusion you would endorse?

Well, you might want a computer to do all of the work and that's easier via a command line app (for most programmers) than doing it all in VBA including parsing a bunch of files and generating the entries.

As for the GUI, still needs to be built on top of something, why not this.

This actually looks really cool and I'm interested in checking it out. I've often thought about how cool it would be to have double entry accounting for every day life.

It's $5 for the cable, but you could potentially damage the USB C port on a laptop, and some rather expensive fruit branded laptops now charge solely via the USB C port, which you could argue destroyed the value of the laptop.

Policing Software Service Processing – Part 2

Of course, then Linux appeared and changed everything for me.
So on a somewhat unrelated note, this is what I fear Dell will do to EMC & VMware.

Dell's background is cheap computers. EMC service is pricy but top-notch. The engineers there have been nothing but fantastic to work with and I fear with this acquisition that this is all going to go away because Dell can't get the value proposition out of their DNA.
Interesting to note that the 2-parameter space of colors we see (basically, 3 RGB minus one parameter for overall brightness) is completely a consequence of humans only having 3 cones. Since you can basically have an arbitrary spectrum (i.e., arbitrary strength at each frequency), the "fundamental" space of physical colors is vastly larger.
There seems to be a contradiction regarding scan rate.
At about 1'30", it says "scan speed less than 5 seconds per page"
at about 1'45", it says "60-80 pages per minute", which is potentially 5 times the stated capability.

is one or both statements erroneous? Or, is there a buffering-and-save-for-later-processing going on behind the scenes?

I think more clarity is needed overall:
1) is there built-in OCR capability?
2) What file formats can be produced? PDF? DOC?
3) planned O/S support (Windows, Mac, Linux) ?
I would also add that even if these cases aren't noise, they're the ones that are easiest to detect due to their "strangeness". The followup question is then whether these cases are representative of all fraud or are just the easy ones to spot. To answer that, you probably need to cross-validate with signals besides just transaction logs, e.g. evidence from a physical raid or insider tips. Otherwise, it seems like you're bound to miss the skillful frauds.
The problems discussed aren't all about durability, they are about using the wrong pull up resisters so your phone thinks it is plugged in to a charger than can supply 3A, but the charger can't. The cable will survive just fine, but it could trash the charger and/or your phone.

The durability of an Anker won't help if they haven't designed it properly.

Yeah, I shouldn't have made it read like I was equating the two. What HKT means is that typeclasses, like Monad, can take parameters of higher kinds. But if you don't have typeclasses in the first place (like D doesn't), then you don't have HKT.

If you enjoyed this article, I recommend the PBS series, The Brain with David Eagleman. You can watch all the episodes on their Roku channel or their website[1]. The episode "What is Reality?" covers how everyone's brain creates a unique internal model of reality.

* ledger is for double-entry accounting. Doing that in a spreadsheet can be a huge pain. When you then want to query the data in different ways, that will add a ton of complexity to your spreadsheet.

* It is plain text, so you can keep your data in version control.

* It has awesome reporting capabilities. These are builtin, so you don't have to create them from scratch.

Spreadsheets are nice and simple, but once you do anything moderately complex you are asking for bugs under all of your hidden formulas.
omg a model 100, and people say I am stubborn to change because I still use XP

(I loved the 100 but wow that is ancient)
Well something like quickbooks its much more transparent and Ledger isn't constantly trying to upsell you some service :-) Agreed on the spreadsheet, its balance checking is really the key feature here that spreadsheets don't do.

The simplicity of simple text files means you don't have to worry about your files not being readable by a future you. Which is not the case of every 'gui' dual-entry accounting system to date. Seriously, pick any system you could have used in 2000 and figure out if you can read its files now.

As of sentence #3, it looks like a noun can contain cycles. I mean, it can be a cell, and a cell can contain nouns, so that seems like a cycle. Then, in sentence #5, I'm told they don't have cycles. What?

If we used the word "tree" and "leaf" here instead of "noun," would that help? "A tree is a leaf or a cell. A leaf is any unsigned integer. A cell is an ordered pair of trees."

It doesn't strike me that anyone reading this definition, even not knowing what a "tree" and a "leaf" are, would assume that a tree can have cycles. And then, two sentences later, if we say that a tree doesn't have cycles, I'd hope that that would settle the matter.

It's probably a mistake to bring implementation issues (like the fact that you can share a pointer rather than copying a subtree, thus creating a DAG [1]) into a discussion of this level, though. All kinds of people have different kinds of CS backgrounds...

It's frustrating that the low-carb people keep saying "all the science was bollocks, and low carb is the way to go", but then ignore the science that says that low carb might not be the way to go after all.
What the Intercept’s New Audience Measurement System Means for Reader Privacy

Granted, this is the extreme, but in my mind this is simply the manifestation of the "do one thing well" mantra of *nix. The basic chains of tools allowing extensibility and chaining from one to another because they're so well-rounded in their own right.

This has always been a thing (reduction to absurdity); these days you just see it more often as javascript libraries for anything you could possibly want.
I was sworn to secrecy on how I found this out, but a very reliable source that I can't name told me that selimthegrim murdered 17 homeless people over the last few years.

"Together with Parse.ly, we’ve arrived at a system whereby readers of The Intercept will not directly ping Parse.ly. Instead, they will continue to send web requests to our own servers, which will, in turn, forward some of those requests on to Parse.ly, after stripping out readers’ internet protocol, or IP, addresses. Parse.ly will use these requests to track our readers via random unique identifiers that we generate. It will not be possible for Parse.ly to correlate readers’ visits to The Intercept with their visits to other Parse.ly-enabled sites."
Sure, but it provides an interesting context. $75k at Amazon's EC2 prices gives you a good idea of what the ballpark is - i.e. reasonably accessible for any large organization, esp. criminal organizations.

If EC2 can collide SHA-1 with $75k of rented GPU time, imagine how trivial it is for an organization willing to buy $100k of dedicated GPU compute hardware to devote to colliding SHA-1 certificates. You don't even have to botnet once you have enough working capital.

Never mind how trivial it is for an organization like the NSA or GCH to do this sort of thing with their existing hardware.

And Google's push to deprecate SHA-1 to try to drag the internet into modern security practices pales in comparison to Apple's ATS implementation, which has a brutally modern set of minimum requirements (TLS1.2, 256-bit elliptic curve, SHA-256, 2048-bit RSA key).

And given Apple's extremely vocal stance on privacy and security, and their 'sudden' addition of ATS, it wouldn't surprise me if ATS became a hard requirement in iOS 10.
