Only in the short-term. Long term, do you not think that those with influence would rectify that if it would affect their ability to buy their way out? I'm a bit worried to see such a strong, negative reaction to equality.

French Police Report Shootout and Explosion in Paris
Well, that just records the commands, the output can still change, internet connections fail, etc. I have a tool I wrote for some internal presentations that uses the dumps from ttyrec to play back everything in response to random input.

Here you go:
https://gist.github.com/bazzargh/a267b97a52f7a1f70c46

Rather than use a single dump, this expects multiple dumps, allowing you to treat them as slides, and preventing you overrunning after each command. It also lets you rewind & replay if needed.

For the demo I did with this, I recorded figlet commands printing large bullet pointy things for the bits where I didn't want to show code, and cat'd ascii art for endpages.
I agree with the authors main point, however I did see a good counterexample a few years ago when Martin Fowler did a talk about his then recently published book on refactoring. He did the talking while an assistant did the live coding to keep up with the narration. "Now lets move this behaviour into the other class": magically the video followed his instructions, paused automatically at the right places etc.

It sounds crazy, but I noticed my phone was emitting a quiet, high-pitched buzzing sound when I had 2048 open the other day. I wonder if this is what I was noticing.
I think OP addresses that concern:

>That does not mean you shouldn’t show code on stage. Please, by all means, put code up there on your slide and talk about it. Just don’t write it in real time. Live coding is lazy; it is a shortcut for creating quality presentation material. On well-prepared slides, your code will be magnified to ensure that I can read it. It will be highlighted so that you can direct my attention appropriately.
I had to upvote this even though I've done my share of live coding presentations. It hits very close to home.

How many people have to watch me misspell printf? 50? I think they know what I'm getting at.

Something else that bores the living shit out of me? Those videos where you watch people code. Oh my god. It's like watching paint peel.

Now, having trashed the concept, I'm going to keep doing it. I did this "Code along with me on an app" last year and got several emails that folks found it helpful.

What to make of the fact that I find it boring yet continue to do it? My feeling is that a presentation that's lively and informative to me isn't necessarily a presentation that has impact with the people watching it.

Last month I wanted to do a demonstration of how to split user stories in a backlog[1] -- but not just the high-level crap you get in class. I wanted to show the whole thing from concept to code.

So I did what the author suggested. I did some screen shots of code that I then walked through at the appropriate points. I was able to create an hour of video instead of dozens of hours the other way. And I think it had the same impact.

I disagree with the idea that live coding demos are universally bad. In cases where they are practiced and calculated, they actually convert better than slides. I don't have any hard numbers on hand to back that up, but I worked as a developer evangelist for SendGrid for a couple years and I've probably spent too much time thinking about and attending Hackathons, so I feel ok speaking from experience. At any given Hackathon getting 10% of teams to use your product or API is impressive. Whenever someone has a polished live code, interactive demo I can assume it'll easily hit that mark. Being able to demo you API live in 5 minutes is a pretty strong guarantee that it'll be easy enough to implement during the weekend. Plus, developers love to see code and understand how other developers think!

I wrote about how to give a great API demo a few years ago. Points are still true, worth a read if you're thinking about live coding: http://theycallmeswift.com/2013/02/01/the-elements-of-a-grea...

When did the UK and France aid Poland after the 1939 invasion?

The timeline is something like:

1939 - Poland gets conquered by Germany and the USSR.

1941 - The USSR-occupied part of Poland gets conquered by Germany.

1944-45 - German-occupied Poland gets conquered by the USSR.

1989 - Poland reasserts independence as the USSR slowly collapses from within.

As far as I'm aware, no significant British or American forces got anywhere near Poland as part of any of this.
I am going to give it another look. It has been quite a while.
I think the real take away is "Don't do live coding on stage unless you are already a compelling speaker". There are several example of good talks that include live coding, but they all tend to be by expert presenters who know how to keep the talk moving and have the coding be well rehearsed.
Similarly, I really enjoyed Raymond Hettinger's 2015 PyCon talk, which also had a fair amount of live coding.

Stratoscope was already done a superb job explaining. But just to show why my question was not that dumb...

Let's say you want to represent "two-million" in 32bit float:

Your answer is: 0x1e8480 * 2^0.

However, I was expecting something like: 0x1.e848 * 2^X. But then "125-thousand" is 0x1.e848 * 2^Y, so how do you standardize what is the correct exponent for integers, X or Y? And how do you know there is not a pair (M,Z) != (0x1.e848, X) such that M * 2^Z is also two-million?
here is a great live coding demo that explains the y combinator from first principles

What do you do when procrastination becomes more serious and develops into life avoidance? (You procrastinate on everything, regardless of how you frame a task, regardless of the difficulty of it). In the extreme case procrastination isn't a obstacle to task competition but a learned habit of avoidance. It becomes an addiction in the same way that gambling, drugs, etc do. How do you beat an addiction whose very nature stops you from taking steps to beat it? Is it possible to quit procrastination cold turkey? If I want to stop smoking one way is to just stop and deal with it. If I want to stop procrastination do I have to be doing something productive 24/7? How do I attain the discipline for that?

The best way to learn about building a business is to start a business of your own.

Fundamentally, business is an exchange of value - your service/product for money (or something of value to you).

For some of your questions, you could go to a business workshop or take a course at your local business centre or university. There are plenty of great resources on the internet as well. Google it. And there are tons of business books that aren't focused on sales/marketing strategies. For example, the Dummies series probably have some good explanations.

However, business is a constantly changing environment and there is no right or wrong way to do things. What you learn in school/course will give you a rough idea but there are quite possibly many other ways to do things. It's up to you to figure it out on your own.

Another way to learn is to get experience by working for companies and learn from them. You'll be paid to learn while you understand what value you're delivering to your employer. There's no reason why you could eventually be contracting/consulting to your employer in the future.
In a sense the name says it all: HIPAA's about Portability and Accountability, less about security.

I worked on a few security consulting projects in healthcare. The HIPAA security rule is way more vague about actual controls than a rational person would assume; much more than analogous regulations on financial data (e.g. PCI-DSS). The HITECH amendment added a lot of breadth regarding which parties must comply, but did little to proscribe specific controls. Most providers, contractors, etc. use a framework called HITRUST that attempts to identify and map actual security controls to HIPAA, but even that is not super actionable.

One of the hardest problems to solve is the immediate criticality of patient data. You absolutely cannot have someone die because a nurse or doctor forgot their password and couldn't look up medical history. Makes practitioners resist adoption, and you end up with "break the glass" (emergency security bypass) functionality on a lot of sensitive systems/data.

Any talk or presentation can be boring if the presenter or the content is boring. It has nothing to do with the medium whether it is coding, bulleted slides, or funny cat picture memes. The OP may have seen some bad presentations, but that doesn't mean there can't be good ones.

For example, look at any talk that Kelsey Hightower (ex-CoreOS, now Google) has done lately on Kubernetes, CoreOS, or Golang. He mixes in live demos, coding, CLI, and even live video game playing along with a small handful of slides. His talks are great and engaging and you walk away excited about his topic. That's because he's a great speaker and passionate about the topics he talks about. It has nothing to do with the medium.

I get why Apple does it, but this prohibition increases my device's suck rather than decreasing it, since it locks out some potentially-useful apps.
You can't blame long, awkward pauses and the arrival of an "impromptu debugging session" on the act of trying to code in front of an audience. That's like saying all plays suck because of the terrible actors in one that you saw.

Not only that, but I think it was due to an explicit deal with the USSR to stay away from there so they can have Poland and Czechoslovakia.

They deliberately let the Germans go in there and kill the local uprisings, so that the USSR could then move in and take what is left.

and you can't write what you wrote and expected to be treated as anything other than a useless wingnut.

nearly everything you wrote was specifically designed to make clear that you're a closed-minded libertarian fucknut who isn't interested in (or capable of) an intelligent conversation.

As such, you shouldn't be surprised when people respond to you in a way that makes clear that they don't respect you, they don't treat you seriously, and that they wish you'd move to Somalia where you can live your idiotic dream.

instead, you (like the rest of the libertarian scum) just complain that you aren't allowed to force your will onto the rest of us, against our will. you're just another fucking fascist. Now kindly fuck off.
Go back and look at what Disney was putting out when the Baby Boomers were coming of age. The '60s and '70s -- the Dean Jones (http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Dean_Jones) era. It's all stuff like That Darn Cat! and Son of Flubber and The Shaggy D.A., which is to say it's about as square as square can be. In an era when the boundaries of popular culture were being very aggressively stretched, Disney deliberately positioned itself as a producer of safe, conservative entertainment.
[Live] shooting at Republic (paris) on Periscope
I don't mean to engage in conspiranoia here (and I highly doubt there's an overt conspiratorial explanation), but right now I'm finding 'murmurs' like this especially alarming.

When I look back at history, it seems like major economic turmoil is very often followed by outbreaks of major warfare or at the very least significant flirtations with major conflict. The Great Depression was followed by WWII, the decline toward the end of the 60s by the hottest period of Vietnam, the dot.com crash by 9/11 and Iraq, and the 2008 crash by the Ukraine crisis and what seems to have been a near miss between the USA, Russia, and possibly other powers. 2008 was also followed fairly shortly by the rise of ISIS and a re-heating of Iraq and its general region.

We're hearing a lot about an impending emerging market debt crisis, and we know China has gone to 'heroic' efforts to backstop its stock market and real estate markets against the first stages of what appeared to be an unfolding crash. It's entirely possible that another economic crisis is brewing in China and other 'emerging' markets, and it could be a bad one. If that's the case at some point it will exceed the ability of even China's autocracy to prevent it with currency and market manipulations.

As I led off with above, I doubt that there's an overt decision that happens. I doubt anyone says 'well, the economy's down so we better have a war!' Instead I suspect it's a bit like tectonic plates. When an economic crash happens it exacerbates stresses that are already present in the system and quite likely pushes some people and/or state actors over the edge. People often behave more desperately and irrationally under economic stress; you can see this in the willingness of former Soviet officials to actually distribute such deadly material during the waning days of the USSR. Not being able to eat is a powerful motivator.

Edit: not deleting this, but I hate to have posted it hours before hearing about Paris.

Kubrick does something like this, in parts of his films. Long scenes in Barry Lyndon and 2001 strike me as driven by, or interpretations of, the music. Of course there is a kind of "plot" going on, but these films can be seen as stealth abstract art.

Also, in Tarantino the music is often one of the major characters.

First, the reason to be concerned about civil forfeiture is well stated at http://uclawreview.org/2014/04/29/criminal-forfeiture-is-tak.... The problem is that we introduced it for a specific purpose, and over time the laws have been used expansively and creatively against an ever growing category of people and businesses many of which bear no obvious relationship to organized crime.

I believe that this long ago crossed the line to being actually used as civil rights abuse.

On this case, you're mostly right. The seizure happened under civil forfeiture law, a the second paragraph of The Economist article makes that clear. So this really is a question about civil forfeiture law. But it is tied to a potential criminal civil forfeiture.

Live coding is great when done well, and when the presenter is handling it well. Everyone enjoys seeing if the code will work, but no one enjoys watching someone sweat and stammer too much if things start going badly.

As a presenter I've done some live coding at times, but I've always had a clear plan for how to proceed if things don't work as I intended. We laugh together, and no real time is wasted. I enjoy watching other presenters who take a similar approach.
I don't know if there is a way to be transformed overnight. But I have definitely achieved incremental improvement after reading a good book like The Procrastination Equation. You just keep iterating, like any skill.
The money that moves from investor to business is given in exchange for an equal amount of ownership in the business. That does not, in itself, generate any beneficial economic activity.

Here is the degenerate case. Someone creates a corporation. They take $1000 from their pocket, put it in the corporate strongbox, issue 100 shares at $10 each, value the corporation at $1000, and put the shares and the key to the strongbox back in their own pocket. There is a lot of movement going on, but nothing has really changed. The corporation still doesn't do anything.

Now suppose that another investor joins in. They add $1000 to the strongbox, and take 100 shares. The value of the corporation is now $2000.

Really pile it on, now. 98 more investors each add $1000 to the strongbox and take 100 shares. The corporation is now worth a whopping $100k, with ownership split 100 ways. This is still a null entity to the larger economy.

Now let's have the corporation buy a moneymaking machine that costs $100k up front, and makes $100k per year. The investment $100k goes to the manufacturer, who now gets to spend it. The corporation hires a machine operator at $50k/year and spends $4k/year on insurance. The employee gets to spend half of what he makes with the machine. The corporation is now accumulating $46k in profit per year. The owners are sitting on ass, cashing fat checks, and the employee is dutifully sending out those checks.

That's fine. Without their pooled investment, none of them could have purchased the moneymaking machine alone. But the benefit does not come from the investment. It comes from spending money and doing actual work. Without that, you're all just building a new box to hold your money.

Now here's an alternate scenario. The person who would otherwise be the machine operator employee borrows $100k with 12 $3k quarterly coupons, and principal to be repaid after 3 years. (That's about 10.8% annual interest.) Each quarter, he makes $25k with the machine, pays a $3k coupon, spends $12k in living expenses, socks away $9k to pay off the principal, and $1k to insure the machine. After those 3 years, the operator can now spend that extra $12k/q on something other than living expenses.

Now we'll go one step further, and instead of getting that $100k from borrowing on a bond, the operator rents the machine from the manufacturer for $4k per quarter (insurance included in lease), and buys it outright after 3 years. Why would the manufacturer even consider that? Answer: he can't build the machines and operate them at the same time. The machine that builds the moneymaking machines must necessarily make more than $100k worth of machines per year, after all. If demand keeps up, the lease-to-own option could be bringing in more income than cash-and-carry sales.

So what do the investors really add, here, from the perspective of the machine operator and the manufacturer?

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that their ancient OpenSSL doesn't do SHA-2, although I had no idea either way. They just say you can't use it because it's deprecated, and therefore off limits to App Store apps.

Historically, I believe the code samples were more or like the ones in the link I posted. I don't believe they ever posted anything that showed how to use Security.framework for the heavy lifting. I think they wanted to get everybody to bring their own code to make it so you couldn't pirate every app with a patch to one shared library.
