Apparently that was filmed in the '90s, at MIT.
How was that a strawman?

Also I'm sorry I meant the Apple. To me they are the same computer. I understand historically they are not. I never said it wasn't expensive, even the Apple which MSRP ranged from 1,000$ to 2,000$ was still expensive but seems fairly competitive for the time. Cars are also pretty expensive tho lol. But luxury and sports cars are far outside the price-to-use range of a middle class family. A 'Apple' Computer, at least for my family, was worth it for them at that price range. A 20k car functions just as well as a 100k car, the Apple at 1k was pretty phenomenal for my mother from what she has told me.

-edit- I don't think I really get what your point is?
While at UCSC in the early 90s, one morning I fell asleep in the front row of desks in an empty classroom (after a long night of studying).

I was awoken some time later in a quite full of students class room by Tom Lehrer. He stated with a smile that while my snoring had a nice rhythm, it was drowning out his lecture.

No, there is a specification for HTML5, and it does exactly what I said it does. Granted, most "HTML5" is a mix of HTML 4 and HTML5 (sometimes even a little XHTML) but these are not strict validated sites.

Here, try running a few websites through https://validator.w3.org/ and see what pops up. You'd be surprised.

For example, https://news.ycombinator.com is extremely bad HTML5, and if you look at the report on it, https://html5.validator.nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombinat... you can see a bunch of "Use CSS Instead" suggestions. This is the separation of style from semantics that HTML5 was made to reinforce.
I think it was a joke.

Speaking of that I recommend watching Pandora's Box documentary. It is fun and pretty well made (although the quality on youtube is rather low).

Here is where they start talking about Gosplan -- the central economic planning department:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=h3...

It is funny to hear how they tried to control things. At some point during Stalin's time they planned how many people to arrest and where. No matter if they were guilty or not. The it talks how they tried to modulate various controls -- they measured success by amount of raw material consumed, so all of the sudden they ended up with oversized couches, and trains were being run for thousands of miles empty just to burn the fuel so everyone can get a bonus during the years' end. Then they started to fix prices for everything. That ended in disaster of course and so on.

Then have to like the taxi driver driving past Gosplan and saying "how they hell do they come with such ridiculous plans".

EDIT: They also mention Victor Glushkov, the father of Soviet Cybernetics. Here is a documentary about him as well. It is putting it in good light as if Soviet Cybernetics used in planning would be successful. It is a propaganda film. But it is fun to watch:

I think MS has realized that desktop era is over and cloud era has taken over. They will be making much more money by renting out infrastructure than just licensing software. So they are trying hard to make sure that oepn source development tools and servers work well on Windows.

By allowing Clang comaptible code with VS, brining open source tools and servers will be much easier for developers which will help MS to retain more developer base for Windows.

From the article: Climate change in the Pleistocene was “huge, frequent, and rapid,” says Cooper, director of the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA at the University of Adelaide. “Sometimes a change of 10 degrees centigrade over a space of a decade or two.”

this can't be right, surely? I thought the whole reason we're contemplating spending trillions of dollars preventing a 2 degree centigrade change over a century is because it is unprecedented in nature?

I can try to give a reply. You have to remember what SR was for. These were people who were not only using SR, but active in the community as well. They were mostly engaged in illegal activities, a good deal of whom were active offline as well taking part in illegal activities.

Law enforcement is a constant point of anxiety for every single person involved in this process. If someone who you thought you could trust is now actively threatening your freedom (or access to a substance, which is also a form of freedom), you take action to prevent this. In general, I don't remember the mindset actually being "pro violence" in an abstract sense, but it was hostile to law enforcement because law enforcement represented the end of ones freedom.

And they weren't wrong. The drug war was (and is) a very real thing. I think it goes without saying that most were for the freedom to consume, produce, distribute, and use any drugs they see fit. Law enforcement were encroaching on that freedom. They were the aggressors coming in and disrupting a pretty peaceful process. In many cases, unprovoked. I don't think that's much of a misrepresentation.

Why would Samsung expend the effort to argue the seemingly obvious concept that if the verdict is overturned, the awarded damages should be returned? Apple's position appears to be standard, in claiming victory, and dismissing the possibility that any higher court will come to a different conclusion, thereby refusing to entertain that damages would _need_ to be returned.

Under what circumstances would Apple be entitled to keep monetary damages, if, in fact, a higher court reverses the current decision?
Balancing the focus and solitude that programming requires with the communication skills required to be a leader can be really tough.

Computers were very expensive back then. I don't think Apple was an expensive computer at the time of its launch and part of what was so compelling about it was a personal computer not a work station.

In most places there is, just because it's legal doesn't mean it's ok. Current state of knowledge is that any alcohol reduces ability to drive safely. Yes there are still holdouts who think they will be 'all right' after one, two or three (or more) glasses, but that doesn't make them right. I'm appalled that there are apparently several (many?) people on here who think that it's ok to drink and drive. Look, I don't care you all kill yourselves, but I do care that you expose others (like strangers, my family and yours) to such reckless behavior. How hard is it to drink water when you know you'll be driving?
I like this metaphor, it accurately captures a lot of what managing is about, though it's worth mentioning that the greatest difficulties are never, ever technical, they're always about people and feelings, which can surprise a lot of new managers.

This article outlines some great first things to look for, but something important is missing: sometimes, after trying everything, it turns out that your team just has some truly terrible, morale-sucking people on it, and they need to be fired before things will pick up. That's sort of the "file a compiler bug" option of last resort, but there really are a lot of toxic people like that out there, especially amongst programmers, and as a manager you'll need to be able to pick them out and deal with them. That's almost the most important part of your job.

I think algorithm design is hard. Most students/people can't break down a problem into small enough steps for the computer to do them.

Are you familiar with the concept of "chunking" in memory research? Well, computers don't chunk but humans do. Humans tend to think about their algorithms in terms of the chunks they already know, but for computers sometimes each chunk has to be broken down into much smaller sub-steps.

And that's non-intuitive and hard. When explaining stuff to a human you get immediate non-verbal or sometimes verbal feedback if they don't understand the chunks, but computers just give a syntax error.

SECONDLY. Students have trouble making an accurate mental model of what the computer is doing at each step, so they can't trace through the code, much less create new code.

Those are the two biggies, in my experience.
Very good question, I don't know!

I'm unfamiliar with the structures of working groups but I imagine it'd have to be pretty heavily social sciences weighted (ethnography, sociology/psychology, media studies, education, etc). Personally, I'd like to see a mix of rapid prototyping, science fiction (engaging in hypotheticals on systems and cultural impact), and solid research. Evaluation is going to be challenging due to the uniqueness of experiences in social systems (e.g. in social networks every feed is different, so less unified starting point). I think surfacing the problems-behind-the-problem like understanding / capturing the different starting points of each readers knowledge would play prominently in any truly transformative solution.

On the business end, right now I can't imagine there's much of a business vehicle for driving this forward, as the market would favor general solutions applied to pre-existing properties (e.g. bolt-ons like Disqus) or incremental changes (e.g. better mod tools on reddit or something), whereas my strong suspicion is that deeper innovations probably need to be developed alongside wholly new online properties - you know, the medium is the message and all that. Evaluating success would be difficult given the need to create and verify new metrics of success, and I'm not sure many startups have the patience, knowhow, or desire to dig deep into research required for this.

I guess its worth mentioning I started an online news company so I've had more than a passing chance to think about / be frustrated with this problem space. In the challenging environment of growing a journalism startup (not exactly a high $$ biz), I wasn't able to sink my teeth enough into creating new designs for media publishing and community tools, and was so unsatisfied with the present offerings that we just avoided going down the discussion board route altogether. It remains my belief that a 'news' is a sense-making and ultimately educational problem being solved (poorly) by publishing systems, and the field of 'journalism' lacks imagination in what ways they can create said news, assuming everything just becomes an article written by a journalist because thats how newspapers did it.
So they flat-out lied about that one? I really expected better from Mozilla.

(Trying to figure out how to reply without sounding like I'm challenging an idea or putting someone on the defensive... All I can think of is: Thank you for the reply. Know that I respect everyone's viewpoint, and that we're only trying to chase a mystery.)

If someone who you thought you could trust is now actively threatening your freedom (or access to a substance, which is also a form of freedom), you take action to prevent this.

So I've spent five minutes mentally putting myself in that situation, and... I don't know. Am I just a coward? It's important in the abstract sense to fight for freedoms, and perhaps in the literal sense when one system (i.e. country) is at war with another.

But the idea of taking a bat to someone's head for betraying my trust in them is... Well, that's really the question to explore, right? How could someone actually do that, let alone approve of someone else doing that? The question is far too pointed, though. Just trying to understand.
> Right, so there are 2 possible parse trees.

Not with the same symbols, though.

> A formal language is just the set of strings that belong to it. That's it.

That is correct, and in that framework, we cannot reason about the meaning of "foo"; that if it's a type apply this rule otherwise that rule.

If we do that reasoning, what we're really doing is replacing "foo" with one of two other symbols, and then parsing those; then we have different strings (so of course the parse trees cannot be the same, no matter what).

We do! They're way behind Eagle and KiCad, but they're a fair and growing number. Our current challenge is to keep expanding our ability to automatically detect the default gerber naming scheme so it doesn't matter which CAD package you're using. I know we've recently really nailed down the Altium variants (Designer, CircuitMaker) but I'm less sure about Upverter.

One of the downsides of accepting gerber files is that a lot of folks rename to match our suggested naming pattern to be sure the files work, so it can be tough to determine which CAD package was originally used. Plus, we still get gerbers from some rare ones like TraxMaker 2000 or Ranger 3.

`Entropy is a broken measurement. The fact that [0,1,2,3] and [0,3,1,2] have the same entropy value is annoying...'
This is incorrect. There is no concept of entropy for a specific finite sequence; entropy is a property of random variables. Assuming a finite string is generated (i.i.d.) from a random source, then one way to estimate its entropy is using the histogram but this is not always optimal. Also several other parts of the article are over-simplified or incorrect.

Come on. Source code audit is pretty standard procedure in case of any government usage around the globe and there also plenty of people have access to proprietary software source directly or not. Even big companies getting hacked by enthusiast with nearly zero budget and country have almost unlimited resources.

What's more important so far China was doing great just replacing exist products using hardware available on market and without copying anyone source code.

I wasn't raised in the states, so the first time I watched Bob Ross was when twitch hosted the marathon. The painting process felt so surreal - I was witnessing an act of creation, the birth of a painting from blank canvas, yet at the same time I was the painter, deconstructing the painting in to mechanical techniques. I guess there is something unique about Bob Ross.

On a side note, in some sense coding is like painting, other than the fact that mistakes in programs are certainly not happy.
