Perhaps we'll see Diceware-or-similar usernames in addition to passwords if enough people care about keeping their pseudonyms as anonymous as possible.
Well you can wonder why did these people act irrationaly? Could these behaviour have been detected? Could they have been helped out of this narrowed point of view of thinking that killing innocent is the right thing to do ? I don't think anyone today hasn't in mind those questions.
Catching a falling knife is always a good idea.
In this context the word simply translates to attitude as mentioned in the article. Why not using that?
I wasn't aware of assembly, and just checked out your site. As a developer, I'm wondering, what would drive me to use your site. Am I looking for a project to collaborate on? If I want to offer a bit of my time, I go to SO and answer some questions, or write a blog post, etc. etc.

On the other side, I'm about to release an open-source project. Obviously, I hope to get people really excited about it. I want people to contribute and I want to spread the word about my project.

I guess I WANT something like Kicklet to work, but what I'm missing is you showing me that it does.

Dare I say, I think the login wall is a barrier. I can't see what other projects are on Kicklet so I have no idea how active your community is.

What if, rather than having to sign-in, you listed a bunch of projects. Let me know about them, help me get interested in them. Then, maybe for commits that I make for projects, the project owner gives me a rating. I earn points. As I gain points, it is a signal to the community of the value and quality of my work. Maybe some people want to do code-reviews, let them get points. Lets help us all become better developers.

Maybe this is what happens now, but I have no idea because I can't see it.

I have no idea what the business model would be. But at the current state, I can't see that you're adding a large enough value, and I think that is the statement that comes out of Assembly. They didn't quite nail the product/business model equation.

Failure CAN be reliable indicators of a bad market, but that doesn't mean successful companies can't exist in that market. I'm thinking about not that long ago when everybody and their dog were creating playlist sharing sites. I worked in the music industry and that time, and saw copy-cat after copy-cat with minor tweaks and you knew they were all going to fail. Even when Spotify came out, it was kinda like, are these guys really thinking they can sort out this whole music industry mess. But, they did. So, I think failure in a market can be a sign that someday, somebody will figure this out. Maybe we'll be saying that about Kicklet, but you've got some work to do.

It may not sould like it, I'm cheering for you.
Corporate Monopoly
Yes, that's a question I have as well. There doesn't seem to be any advertisements at all, so where is the money going to come from. In fact, how do you make money off of developers?

Advertisements probably wouldn't work anyway because we are a technologically savvy group that knows how to work uBlock. Creating a job board like Stack Overflow is probably one answer, but that seems pretty pedestrian and not really a main source of income. A paywall might work, but there is already a lot of competition in this space (Reddit, HN, ./, etc.) and none of them require subscriptions. The paywall is in fact that's one of the reasons I don't like Quora. Another source might be partnering with other technology companies, though I don't really know how that would work.
Not if startup time matters or if you need to deploy into systems where dynamic linking is not possible.

The majority of the commercial third party JVM vendors do offer AOT as part of their toolchain.

Similarly .NET always had a JIT/AOT model. The novelty with .NET Native is static compilation and integration of the Visual C++ backend.

I don't if this is true, but I read somewhere that AOT was tabu at Sun.

Oracle is now improving Java to cover the use cases where it still fails short vs other alternatives, so having an AOT compiler in the reference JDK instead of forcing devs to get it from a third party is part of their roadmap.

How it will look like in the end, it is not 100% clear.
I hold equally responsible the extremist groups (ISIS, Al Qaida, etc.) and entirety of western and eastern governments (USA gov, EU, UK gov, China gov, Rus gov, France gov and my country's gov) for this mess. Our policies are the ones who allow these extremist groups to grow.

I feel that these events are connected a la V for Vendetta:

These are random links, I just collected from DDG mind you, nothing well-thought. I could start from the crusades I guess and everything would be equally aligned in my mind.

On a personal note feel terrorized. I was planning a trip to Paris this year. Now, I don't know. The only thing that remains, unfortunately, is fear. We can't see straight anymore.

Obama calls Paris attacks 'outrageous'. Is he willing to stop fueling the war in Syria?

Investment funds will offer a cash investment option. This invests in currencies. Along with government bonds it's considered low growth low risk investment.

Nobody would advocate actually withdrawing from an investment account. Just move it to safer investment options.
Those are not mutually exclusive conditions . One does not need to be native-born to be a citizen or legal resident.

Most of them, yes. There are a couple that are just on/off, like wake locks.
Also relativity and speed of light are pretty unnecessary in a chemical-rocketry simulator.
They are boring when the player's tools and gameplay are not adapted to a situation involving relativistic distances. In space warfare sensors, delay of signal reception, interpretation of sensor input, projection of positioning both human-based and automatic, as well as weaponry built and programmable to relate to all of these things become much more important than:

See, point, shoot.
I used to feel the same way, but that changed when I got a higher resolution display. Now (for me) it's pretty much the same as on paper. I prefer serif for long texts so much that I override the default sans fonts on some news sites I visit with serif fonts.

For the record, the submitted CSS has a "sans" class, which uses Gill Sans instead (its on the page).
This can be somewhat misleading.

eg.,:

http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/jul/22/gun-hom...

Brazil, Italy etc. - significantly lower percentage of firearms between citizens (say compared to USA), yet there are percentually more homicides performed with firearm.
With all these different implementations how hard is it to access C libraries and/or make modules that use C?
Why is this a thing? Why is someone trying to create a trend that we need to follow.

I make sure my sites work with and without www. In HTML documents it doesn't matter which you choose because the website address hidden in the link tag.

Verbally, I always omit the www, but when I communicate a website address via paper I prefer to use the www in order to make clear it is a website. I could use https:// instead but I like www more.
This is not an assumption, it's an experience. Code shipped to users. In production. In both Scala and Javascript bugs got through, both required specific practices to try to minimise them; with those practices, I found many bugs in the javascript code extremely quickly. None of the bugs in the scala code were found quickly because the iteration cycle is poison (bear in mind, our code base was probably a worst case and may not be representative of scala in general).

I'm now firmly of the opinion that static vs dynamic typed is a sideshow, the real value is shifting as many errors as possible to as early as possible (in terms of seconds from typing the error to finding it) by whatever means you can, and a powerful type system is one tool for doing this, but if it compromises the iteration cycle and actually shifts the discovery of errors later in time then it's undermined one of the major reasons for using it.
Yes, of course, but so what? It is still not true that "Everything you will ever experience is all in your head."
And, at least for me, it became much better. It used to have a lot of glitches and weirdnesses, mostly in Firefox on Linux, now its very nice. I like it a lot.
> stop supporting terrorist regimes like Saudi Arabia.

In your earlier comment you wrote:

> Stop destabilizing Arab countries

Isn't supporting the dictatorship in Saudi Arabia pretty much supporting stability? How can you stop supporting a dictator without a big risk of causing destabilization (as happened in Libya)?

Seems like you want two logical opposities simultaneously?
Gaming company provide their overworked programmers with back rubs
Wrong.

.NET provides all the tools to write cache friendly programs.

That many devs use it like Java is another matter.

If we include high integrity systems there is Ada as well, even though it is a niche.
There's really no way to know for sure what would have happened in this situation if other citizens had guns, but it's possible they could have limited some casualties. However, looser gun laws aren't such a simple issue. If you're considering the societal impact of gun proliferation, you have to weigh the pros and the cons.

While there may be more people available to stop gunmen because of the access to guns, increased access to firearms increases the number of firearm related accidents. This is really something that comes with the territory. No matter how much gun safety is taught, there's always going to be a distribution of people who fall outside of safe usage of guns. At that point, you have to consider whether, as a nation, does the number of casualties based on this incident outweigh the potential number of casualties based on firearm related incidents caused by increased proliferation of guns?
Claimed breakthrough in graph isomorphism algorithm
That's like say someone didn't kick you in the face, physics kicked you in the face!

Of course it's supply and demand, and OPEC is manipulating the market by oversupplying the market and driving every other player out of business. On the surface, it seems like they're doing everyone a favor by driving the price down, but as soon as other players exit, they'll raise it up sky high as the monopoly supplier.

This is a classic strategy that is now outlawed in the U.S. because of what Standard Oil / Rocketfeller did in the 19th century. OPEC is getting away with it because there's no international law that forbids predatory pricing.

Don't let the Saudis fool you. Oil accounts for 80% of their GDP and the low price is completely unsustainable for them. They have no intention of keeping the price low forever, just long enough to burn other producers.
I'm not sure that Mulan is really that much more of a stereotype than, say, Shan Yu or even the emperor. They're all Greek style heroes : rejected by their parents/city/mother/... (or at the very least against their wishes) who go off to save the world from some evil villain lacking depth, and they get some desirable significant other as pretty much the only reward.

Same story as Lilo & Stitch in many ways. I bet real aliens would be offended too, and frankly all humans should be offended at how the black suits are portrayed.
I'm sure this is a welcome distraction from work!
I found the way the examples are written confusing at first glance.
I think the norm is to call the function and then show the returned output.

e.g.
instead of

1/4 === comp(1)

do

comp(1)

// returns 1/4

This might be my personal preference but it's the way it's written in the Mozilla javascript reference pages.

Other than that it looks great!

Maybe there could be some technical result like "if everyone in the market assumes distribution X and trades accordingly, that makes the real distribution more fat-tailed than X"? No idea if something like that could be true...
Casualty of YouTube’s “Contractual Obligations”: Users’ Free Speech
Several of my friends, neighbors and family members have died. In none of those cases did I hear about it on the news and call to make sure it wasn't them. If I did that, I'd be doing it daily, because there are always car accidents, murders, suicides, organ failures and cancers in any city every day.

So what I mean is that for a small incident like this, it's usually not reasonable to check on your friends. If they worked in the WTC on 9/11 then their risk is higher so it certainly can be reasonable. Similarly for a tsunami or other disaster with a high death toll.
But the question is, why did those few get to own so much of the capital?

If the thing we had was already capitalism, then doesn't the very fact that they have so much capital prove that they are the best at making the smartest (read: best return) investments?

And if not, then doesn't that mean the problem was that we already didn't have capitalism, and fixing inequality by itself is a fool's errand, since we should really be fixing the distortion that lead to the outcome of the bad investors owning the wealth?
The print must have been the easiest function of them all to convert automatically with 2to3 since in py2 it's a language keyword, it's not possible to assign it to a variable, you can't construct it with strings to __dict__ lookups or any other types of dynamic programming hacks. If people can't even convert print then the migration is quite a lost case.

Second of all it's such a silly syntactic difference that if people are honestly bothered enough by it to stay on python 2 i just lost all hope for that community. Besides, the reason for changing it was not vanity with syntax, it was to move it from a language keyword into a standard function so it could be used in all the ways described above, marvys links describe this better.
Moving it incurs capital gains taxes.

Even if you passively invest in a mutual fund, the funds internal transactions show up as capital gains that get reported to the IRS, and you have to pay the tax.
Or it means that the US has a double-standard approach where it stabilizes favorable dictatorships (Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait) and destabilizes unfavorable dictatorships (Libya, Iraq) and democracies (Egypt 60s, Iran 50s).

How about getting out of other people's countries?

We had a suicide bomber in Sweden who blew himself up because he was angry that the government didn't arrest Lars Vilks, an artist who had made some drawings of Muhammed which he thought was offensive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lars_Vilks_Muhammad_drawings_c...).

Swedish Muslim terrorists also tried to create a massacre at Jyllandsposten because of their drawings (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_carto...).

These terrorists were born and raised in Sweden, had a better standard of living than me, studied engineering in university and had nothing to complain about. Sweden doesn't attack any countries, we love Palestine and dislike Israel (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/30/sweden-official...) and we shelter 80-100,000 Muslim refugees/year. What should we do exactly? Jail all cartoonists and make it a crime to insult Islam?
Facebook will clone popular features and apps from competitors. Not exactly hard to predict this one. It's happened a dozen times already.
It's a matter of being attuned to the needs of your audience. These days retina screens are the rule rather than the exception for some user populations. The difference in resolution between print and screens has already gone away for a lot of people.
May I ask what the (ideal) outcome of this would be? I'm not sure this is clear to me and I couldn't find more info on your blog.

The problem with python is that they broke both source-compatibility and library-compatibility at the same time. If c++ breaks source compatibility but still allows calling external C-libraries or older c++ libraries nobody would even blink.
Erm, aren't you contradicting yourself? With minimum wage , it either has to be high enough that local workers are interested, people come and bring their own goods, so money gets removed.But that also happens with the higher minimum wages, since it is even more attractive. Just more competition. And if the minimum wage gets to low, you still have the "problem" of guest workers.
Without a minimum wage, but with basic income, companies can now lower the wages such that they no longer are attractivene to people living here and only to the guest workers. However, they are also free to lower them to almost match the guest workers home country, if their primary form of labour comes from their. So the companies benefit, the country with BI benefit from increased consumption, social stability and more people taking risks like entrepreneurship and extended education and the only ones shafted are the guest workers. Which still sucks, from a solidarity point of view.

Why Procrastinators Procrastinate
One way of minimizing procrastination is to surround yourself with people who are more intelligent, more accomplished, and more success-driven than yourself. Being isolated (which was the case with me during my time at university), or associating with lazy, mediocre people, makes it easy to fall into the bad habit of idleness.

My experience shows that any kind of approach based on personal organization, use of productivity tools, time management methods, or attempts at habit formation using willpower will fail if there is no environmental pressure (in the form of friends and family, and not just institutions) to maintain a high level of personal productivity.

I don't think that is true. OPEC production hasn't been greater than how it was in Apr 2012 or Apr 2008 [1]

I'll grant you it might be unethical, I don't see how it could possibly be illegal.
You don't spend in order to "avert" it, "it" has already happened, you spend afterwards to limit the duration and the depth of the recession which makes sense because during a recession interest rates are at the lowest they'll be during the economic cycle and the government can borrow more for cheaper than at any other point.

In terms of how much I would say between 5 and 10% depending on the severity of the recession and that need not all be in the form of government spending per se, it could also be a mix of tax cuts as well.
Exactly - as a species we get the males to take the risks. There is much to be gained from leaving a warzone, but when you see the footage of the refugee camps, children drowned, the immense cost of doing the journey, dealing with people smugglers etc it makes sense that you would send a young male in the family through this first.

If said young male gets to the country on the other side they are probably the most employable too.
Or maybe human behavior and personality consistently resists the enforcment of technical rules, and watches for, and then willfully denies attempts to restrain behavior it (subsets of the collective population) instinctively desires to engage in.

Maybe some of us know that we're being watched, and simply defy any stupid egghead's function curves, for the sheer amusement of seeing disappointed faces.

Maybe there are sadistic people roaming free, and they feed on the souls of the damned.

How would that fit in with modern quantitative economics?

I admire the general theory of relativity, the theory of gravitation and the field equations. Einstein proofed this way equality of inertial and gravitational mass, in my view his biggest merit. - But I can't understand why still today physicists allow to mess the beauty of the field equations by applying it to the universe as a whole. - It's wrong to apply the field equations cosmologically, as I have shown here: http://ow.ly/MrQgy#einstein_was_wrong
It is amazing how many in this thread who make declarations about the underlying political causes for this tragedy. As far as I know, no group have yet claimed responsibilities and very little is known about the perpetrators at this point. Theories have been put forth that they are either IS or al-Queda, two groups with quite different history and agenda. And it is still not confirmed it is either. So any attempt at political explanation at this point is pure knee-jerk.
Hard to know how people will react here in Sweden. It's an awful tragedy. I suspect it will lead to large changes in how Europe works, probably not for the better. Just as happened post September 11.
