Thanks for your comment. The vast majority of networks outside of GCE don't use an MTU of 1460. Even if we set the instance MTU size to 1460, we still have problems. If a UDP packet sent to a GCE instance from outside GCE is larger than GCE's MTU, the first fragment is received and no subsequent fragments ever make it to the instance. This is the bug. This is very common with protocols like SIP when the SDP gets large due to a lot of media attributes.

I will try to give my 2 cents. As you correctly state, Cython is in effect another language.

Now, a core principle in the design of Cython is to be as much as possible source compatible with Python, which is a language without static types. This is not a very good principle for me - I would rather work in a language that is not literally identical to Python, but has its own design. Adding static types often requires to do things slightly differently. In Nim a find a very principled and well designed language, and PyMod seems a great to tool to make interoperability with Python easy.

I recommend reading Edward L. Bernay's [sic] work Propaganda for a more thorough understanding about the role of "PR" in society.

That's certainly a great book, though for rather unsettling reasons.
I'd love to have some sort of spec to implement this in Go. I'll just go by the source but I love the simplicity compared to the standard Linux commands.

It's legal to send UDP packets with a zero checksum, indicating "no checksum." This can be set at a UDP socket level in Linux. I wonder if that would make any difference?

(Of course this assumes your protocol has some alternate method of verifying transferred data, which many do.)
I highly recommend Founders at Work to anyone who hasn't read it. Jessica is an absolutely incredible interviewer (in my opinion, one of the more underrated skillsets out there, probably because we're used to such generic interviews). This essay highlights some of her strengths that helped her write such an incredibly insightful book. PG is right, she simply has a knack for asking extremely illuminating questions and getting insightful or informative responses.
Have you looked at Spotify's classical music selection lately? Doing a rough tally, my playlists have over 6,000 classical songs on them, so I listen to a lot of classical, and something like 98% of what I look for is on Spotify, from early stuff all the way through modern classical.

It is strange that you characterize Cython as a limited sub-language. Cython supports almost the full Python language, plus adding a superset for producing native C code. In addition, Cython can be used to wrap C code, so what you describe as "exportpy" is possible as well. Cython is a mature project, being in use in various parts of the scientific python ecosystems such as in Pandas and scikit-learn. Nim sure looks interesting but from what I hear, the language and the compiler still have rough edges. In terms of stability, maturity, and ecosystem, I'd say Cython has a clear advantage.
GCC has had an open-source Fortran compiler front-end since always.

Buying fake traffic removes the first hurdle. People are social, and instinctively don't trust something that has not been endorsed. It's like walking by an empty restaurant - you assume the food must be bad.

But it doesn't get you past the second hurdle. If you have bad content, no-one is going to share it. Which means zero percent growth. Zero percent growth on top of half a million paid-for views is still zero real visitors.

If you have good content and can ethically reconcile buying traffic, I guess this tactic could work. But if you can't, you need a network of people to help publicise your launch.
Unrelated - I was unaware that you had left Matasano, just checked out Starfighter, it sounds like an incredibly interesting idea!
There's a massive, elephant sized problem with your narrative: biology is not a social construct.

Women (on average) have different brains, different bodies, and as a result, different preferences than men (on average).

All of the issues which radical feminists are foaming at the mouth to "fix" with heavy handed state tactics are a result of empirical reality. Most people understand this, but people who have an ideological axe to grind do not. Because if these people were to admit they had failed to apply Occam's Razor before going on their hateful quest, they'd lose all their social status as perceived freedom fighters and social just warriors.

It's biology, all the way down.
> I guess the lawyers have a way of justifying this...

Lawyers have other safeguards in the courtroom, so that random police habits don't mess up the entire system. For example, prior arrests are generally inadmissible. It doesn't mean this is a nonissue for citizens, but it blunts its ability to corrupt the entire process.

I have to disagree. When one is negative, one can find communities of other people just as negative about something. One can then feed on their energy, so one doesn't have to expend as much. Over time (even in a short period of time) there's a group of outraged individuals who've gotten there rather easily.

You almost never see similarly charged, overly happy communities (outside of the potheads - just kidding). I think the reason is, it's way too easy for someone to come in and spoil everything by starting something negative.

Negativity is like a disease that just spreads and consumes.
I don't think it is that simple. Just assume that you yourself is a government official like a Brennan.

So, people expect you to protect them and make sure that no terrorist attacks happen. So, how exactly do you do that?

You mention some formulas that "worked" in the past, I don't think they worked - so many people died at the hands of RAF and IRA. And the times have changed, some of these old formulas do not work anymore - people can communicate without meeting in person.

So, what do you propose Brennan should do? Honest question.
How long has he been in the team? If he's been with you longer than six months then I would offer a nice severance package.

Just tell him the truth, it's not that his work is terrible, but you need amazing. Let him know he'll have a great reference if needed and you're still his friend.
Honestly, my suspicion is that he was trying to stick to the facts and not analyse why they came about, because his primary purpose was to talk about Jessica, not to attract yet another internet whaargarbl jumblefuck of soi-disant feminists and anti-feminists flinging poo at each other.

Speaking to the question you posed at the end: Having worked at Grooveshark I think Google Music is the obvious choice now that Rdio will soon be gone.
You have a point that adding static types can mean having to rewrite. But in practice I often start out with Cython and static types, making this a non-issue. If you use Cython in this way it can approach C with Python syntax. See also http://spacy.io/blog/writing-c-in-cython/
Sound different from the life experience of a woman I met recently who also had to withdraw from uni through overwork. That was over fifteen years ago. Unfortunately she was sectioned by her family (who all then skipped off to America). She's been prescribed a cocktail of psychotropic pharmaceuticals ever since. She has developed type two diabetes, disruption of thyroid activity, kidney damage, fluid retention and dangerously overweight. A once intelligent and good looking woman reduced to a shambling wreak like something out of the living dead and can't even remember what you told her yesterday. Not much of a cure after fifteen years of 'treatment'. The mental health professionals must know the damage the drugs are doing. But I guess they are making a good living out of her.

I find that whole article manipulative and disingenuous in the extreme. A full page free advertisement for the psycho-pharma industry.
Historically, including some headers ended up including some other headers automatically, such that the author might not realize what headers the file depends on, because it compiles without them explicitly included. glibc (and maybe gcc and xlib?) have been cleaning this up where possible, slowly over time. So a file that had "correct enough" includes for an older glibc might now be caught not including a header it needed all along.

Or maybe it's a similar situation but actually related to "feature test macros" (see https://lwn.net/Articles/590381/)

Quick idea -- though I'm not sure if this would further the goal of having fun, even as a PR -- there's a documented way to make Birdseed subclass random.Random (https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/random.py#l72) and inherit the familiar interface and fancy methods.

Attaching political labels to people in a comment is a very strong tell to disregard the entire comment. Telling "he's a statist! [therefore, stupid]" is not an informative argument, it's just lazy, ideological dismissal.

At least for me, Julia's fast enough in most cases. I switched from C/C++ to Julia for all of my scientific work, and it runs fine, even on a supercomputer like Titan (barring something that requires thousands of nodes at once — MPI is not yet integrated into Julia). You just have to be careful in the tight inner loops and check the assembly that it outputs using code_native().

Granted, there's plenty of fast libraries written in C/Fortran that don't have a Julia equivalent yet, and depending on the overhead of ccall(), you may wish to stick with writing the rest of your code in the language of the library.

>We nerds (and I am among this bunch) don't really like the fact that popularity, "emotional IQ", and social influence are not quantifiable, but we are judged on them, anyway.

It's not exactly that such things are not quantifiable, but that PG is unable to express what is being judged other than in the same few, undefined words, at least in this essay. An example of such judgement is never given, it is only asserted that correct judgement can be dispensed by Jessica. That is a magic oracle. No basis is provided for the judgement (other than its source), only the judgement itself.

Now, as others have pointed out, I doubt this is exactly how it happens. Most likely Jessica brings to light some contradiction, however, the essay doesn't go into what those contradictions have been, or might be. The essay really only provides the view that the contradictions are blessed and therefore automatically accepted.

The concern here is that PG is propagating concepts like "character", "Social Radar", etc., without being able to define what they are. Others may try to replicate this and start their own cargo cult, which has applied its own secret definition of those words, in order to work the magic sauce.

What is so hard about the concept/metric being applied here that it can't be put into words?
Indeed - it even has a term - "red shirting". I believe there is some movement in some states to limit the ability to do this.

For my family, I have adopted a "play the child, not the age" approach. My oldest son was clearly ready for kindergarten at age 5, my middle son is not so we're delaying him for one year.

One part of this not discussed is what cut off dates do to the process. My oldest son was born in December - while my middle son was born at the end of July. If we put him into kindergarten, he would have been one of the youngest kids. My daughter was born on September 1st, thus she will always be the oldest in the class.
>Pharma patents are less abstract. They patent a product, not the idea of making a product. //

All patents are for ideas, in order to acquire a patent you have to give details of how to perform it - how to create a product/device or how to work a system/method to use the idea - but patents are not given for products per se.

I'm not that familiar with pharma patents but the few I've seen were quite abstract, they make claims that cover many different chemicals rather than one "product" (this when attached to that group; this when attached to some other group; etc.).

That said I was specifically responding to the [paraphrasing] "you have to pay them to be healthier if they patent the medically beneficial method/technique/device/drug" - which is true for all companies holding healthcare patents that they don't give free licenses on.

WRT the particular product you do it a disservice - yes changing things at a time were known, yes changing colour palettes were known but there is synergy in the idea of removing blue light elements from a monitor gradually as dusk passes in order to prevent the negative effects of blue light on people and the method of changing a CLUT to achieve this end forms more than just a colocation of known ideas.

One argument in this sort of situation has always been quite powerful to me - if it was so obvious then it would have been done, the need was known, the individual concepts were available. Almost every idea seems obvious post hoc.
>It's not an outside estimation, it's based on dates written in the bible.

The 1759 BCE chronology is based on when archeology says the pyramids were finished. Which is very much an outside estimation -- someone who believes in the Bible can just sidestep it as an inaccurate estimation by archeologists.

In fact it's even worse: there are no dates given in the Bible regarding that story. The 1532BCE number is ALSO an external estimation, based on when historians think who the Pharaohs mentioned was and when he lived. Again, someone who believes in the Bible can just sidestep it as an inaccurate estimation by those historians.

>You don't get to believe in the bible and claim a significantly different date for this event.

You could very much do that too.

Even if there was a specific date mentioned in the Bible about the event and you wanted to reconcile that with a different date that archeology gives, you could just as well believe in the Bible as a collection of first person accounts written by various persons (from kings like Solomon and prophets like Isaiah to wealthy merchants and peasants) that naturally have small inaccuracies here and there.

Not everybody who believes in the Bible thinks it's the perfect account as written down by God himself accurate to any single word (the Eastern Orthodox church, for one, doesn't believe that at all).

>Carson's position is simply illogical. Either he doesn't know the bible well, or he disagrees with the estimated dates for the construction of the pyramids.

Actually there's nothing illogical about disagreeing with the estimated dates for the construction of the pyramids. Heck, archeologists themselves disagree all the time in this or that chronology.

If you think you have a better source of information (the bible in this case) it's perfectly rational to believe that over measly human estimations.
The argument here is that he set up that Swiss foundation specifically to protect her legacy, it is the administrators of the foundation that try to make him a co-author here, not Otto Frank himself. He did not claim to be her co-author so he wasn't in a position to do anything about this either, merely trying to do what he thought was best, and now that group of 'managers' has made a turn-about because they were about to become irrelevant.

Whilst it's nice to think in separate concepts such as 'physics' and 'rendering', in reality all these things are tightly coupled together in code. For example collisions inform physics which informs collisions which informs animations etc. Also with memory being so scarce in AAA games you have to evaluate the cost of using separate threads for different actions, which leads to problems of resource sharing, deadlocks, syncing of update/render loops etc.

Bungie did a talk on their multi threaded renderer for Destiny. Google it if you want to see how complex the design can get, and how it affects the whole game process.
And there's not one mention of the word 'optimization'.
I think this goes to the idea of you judge readiness in the child, vs. just generically saying all children should go in at the same age.
MCNP is a very typical old-school Fortran code. It takes practice to get a feel for reading that stuff, but it has its own beauty once you get the hang of it.

SCALE is mid-way into migrating to C++. AFAIK though MCNP isn't going to change.
I didn't say anyone was claiming that. I simply reacted to what you wrote.

"..it seems to have a strong inverse association with academic achievement.."
Yes, and also for further development work to make the product fit better into cell towers and phones. Basically, funding would make the same growth process go a lot faster than doing it in my spare time with my own wallet, and patents have a limited lifetime. So far, the main interest has been from ham radio and satellite comm folks, but we know that cell phones are where the real money is at. We really need contacts in the mobile phone infrastructure industry, more than anything.

B2B infrastructure is a hard area in which to run a bootstrap startup. I'm not really sure how to fit 20fold into a consultant mold. I am interested if anyone has any advice on how to do this, though.
I saw this bit "Basically NVIDIA bought PGI and now is open source their fortran front-end. Nothing magical really.
Basically NVIDIA is trying to have the "community" do more of their development for them. This is an anti-open/free source way of doing things" and I'm not totally sure I understand the author's point.

I'm familiar with ruminants and the concept wrt digestion - I think what throws me most about the Wikipedia page on the psych concept is what it means to "focus on the symptoms of one's distress". I thought distress was a symptom itself of other conditions. A symptom of distress would probably be inability to focus but then how could you possibly focus on that!

What happens to the money is less important than that her book is free to read for everybody, it's a very important historical document, especially given the rise of the new right wing element in Europe.

This is not the first time there is financial controversy around the diary, the last time a lot of money changed hands to be able to show an additional 5 pages.

Note that the people in charge of the foundation never said that this was to make sure the foundation would still receive funds, they claimed the opposite, this was not about the money, this was about 'protecting Anne Frank'. I fear that she's very much beyond needing any such protection. Citation from the article:

"“When she died, she was a young girl who was not even 16. We are protecting her. That is our task.”"
