> The additional cost of inefficient production will be a rounding error for most consumers.

You can say this about almost any single consumer good. If this crap is allowed to proliferate, it would represent a material increase in the cost of living.

> Yes you can (arbitrarily) value market efficiency over this

What's arbitrary about preferring low-cost syrup?

Monopolies are illegal for good reason, they unfairly enrich the monopolist at the cost of the consumer.
Pretty much what you expect from such people. Not very customised and quite boring. A long time ago I used to "rice" my dev machine. I customised everything but these days I work with mostly the defaults with a few changes such as font and colour scheme. A terminal, code editor and doc browser (usually a terminal or browser) is all I really need. Oh and a decent music player (Winamp for me, it still kicks the llamas ass).

No. We are too addicted to cheap energy to go back.
Even if not everybody takes advantages of those benefits, you can safely bet that a fairly large percentage of employees past a certain age are going to. If you want to hire senior people with solid experience, they're likely to be of an age where they're planning on having kids, and, given a company that offers no paternity/maternity benefits and one that does, they're pretty damn likely to choose the company that does offer such benefits -- both for the benefits themselves, and for the message that goes with them, that it is OK/expected that you'll have kids (and the less extravagant availability that goes with that).
Its human nature to always want more. Calls for people to conserve more wont work because of this. We have to start taxing pollution so that the external costs are included in the products and services we consume. Then only the few filthy rich will be able to afford a polluting lifestyle.
Yes, you can get the performance benefits with caching solutions like Varnish, but what about the security benefits I outlined above, how do you get those?
How do we know this isn't just an easy way to collect open proxies?

To be perfectly honest, this whole operation seems sketchy as fuck:
Even just looking at the front page, https://rev.proxies.online/ reveals that the site belongs to a generic botnet proxy service.

Nowhere on the site is there any information identifying the company behind this, the site is hosted on a known abuse host and the domain is privately registered.

The autocompletion in both vim and emacs was always significantly worse than any IDE-based ones, no matter the plugin I tried (for C, C++, Python or Go). Most of them are pretty much limited to ctags with no context matching, others simply died on projects beyond trivial.

On a slightly more serious note, how do you build your sales pipeline? Is it really as lusciously simple as build great OSS stuff, promote the hell out of it, get a call from Dev lead at Mega Corp? do you have traditional enterprise sales people?

Point being, markets are inherently capitalistic. Would you disagree with that?
from your linked article:

Some elements of the accord would be voluntary, while others would be legally binding. That hybrid structure was specifically intended to ensure the support of the United States: An accord that would have required legally binding targets for emissions reductions would be legally interpreted as a new treaty, and thus would be required to go before the Senate for ratification.

But that proposal would be dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled Senate, where many members question the established science of climate change, and nearly all hope to thwart President Obama’s climate change agenda.
Yes. I don't understand why everyone keeps reinventing this tiny, full-featured symlink manager.

It can also unstow and restow, ignore patterns, etc. Highly recommended.

Québec still has the third highest GDP in the Canadian provinces [1]. Québec lost a lot of manufacturing and automotive sector jobs in the last decade or two. So has most of the western world. I don't think it has much to do with the language.

As for the infrastructure, I'd posit that crappy infrastructure at high costs is largely due to corrupt politicians (ever hear of another place where money played too big a role in electoral campaigns?) and construction companies being run by the mafia [2].

Which, of course, all are problems of their own, and in no way is Québec a utopia. It's just a bit tiring to always hear the easy intellectual shortcuts that blame everything on law 101.

Not all auto-completions are equal. I have felt that Intellij's auto-completion is far superior to vim's YouCompleteMe.

There are many other advantages like out of the box support for a lot of common use cases like refactoring, navigation, build tool support, reuse common shortcuts like Control-C Control-V for copy-paste etc.

I would definitely advice new engineers coming into languages like Java to pick up an IDE like Intellij instead of vim.
Mmmmh, I had never tought of something like this. It is amazing how people, after all this time, still come up with new ideas.

zsh allows me automatically maintain a directory stack. But having one based on prior behaviour sounds awesome.

> Once you have pushed a commit to GitHub, you should consider any data it contains to be compromised.

I've never understood why people want to dump their config files on a public server. The "reasons" given are unconvincing:

* "Backup, restore, and sync" -- I don't keep the rest of my backups out in the open.

* "Learn" -- Maybe, but I prefer learning from stuff people have taken the time to deliberately share.

* "Share" -- I'd rather explicitly choose what I share.

Threats and Violent Attacks Against Muslims in the U.S., Just from This Week
I think the concern is less that an AI apocalypse is imminent and more that if it does happen, we won't see it coming and it will happen so quickly we won't be able to do anything to stop it. So it's important to try to avoid it ahead of time.
Ballot issues today can be passed directly by voters even when they are blatantly unconstitutional. Then the judicial branch sorts out the conflicts. That is essentially already a primitive example of democracy being run by voting machine.

Just because you are used to the current legislative system doesn't mean it isn't replaceable.
>> Totally fine for California. I'm deeply convinced that tax incentives have negative impacts on the places that offer them. They only seem to attract race to the bottom businesses.

Negative how? It's not a choice between a company that pays full taxes and a company that gets a tax break. It's a choice between a plant or an empty patch of desert.

It's not just the plant, either. It's all the ancillary business activity that comes with a billion dollar plant: construction, real estate, raw materials, transportation, food services, advertising, janitorial, office supplies, security, legal services, etc.

All those employees will spend money, too: houses, clothing, food, furniture, entertainment, insurance, cars....

I don't understand why people oppose investment incentives unless they're wealthy enough to not need the additional prosperity.

If I were running a state (or the whole country for that matter), I'd be encouraging business investment like crazy. It's the ticket to prosperity. The Asians get it. Seems like we in the West no longer get it.

The book just contains selected blog posts, as well as two downloadable appendices with more stories that haven't been published on the blog.
For C/C++ and emacs, try rtags: https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags

It's clang-based, so suffers from none of the tags-type issues: it's context-sensitive, and can see straight through gnarly stuff such as identifiers generated by token pasting.

Good points:

- Only mildly fiddly to set up

- Code browsing works well

- Code completion works well when it works

- Cute gcc/g++/etc. wrapper trick means you don't have to change any build settings

Bad points:

- Making it work with code you haven't built yourself on your local system (e.g., 3rd party stuff that's not complete, code for another platform) is less straightforward

- Code completion sometimes doesn't work with certain files (and for no reason that I've ever been able to figure out)

- It's probably my own limitations but I found it extremely inconvenient to debug (internally it's surprisingly complicated: separate client and server, lots of lengthy command lines, client code writes elisp code to stdout and elisp in emacs eats it up, the actual completion popup is a separate package, etc.)
Thanks.

I figured it was likely in the app, but for an experiment like this, that appeals to many of the ideals of an open source philosophy, I'm less likely to bother installing it if I'm unaware that it's an open source project.

Obviously the appeal ultimately needs to be greater than just being open source, but that initial bump can't hurt the outcome of the experiment.

When I DJed I used a mix of FLAC files and 320 Kbps CBR and high level VBR. On performance equipment I could tell VBR was not holding up. There is also some quality loss that you encounter when slowing down MP3s that is not present for FLAC or WAV, especially when kept in key, but for the most part that is only audible beyond the 8-15% range, and it was not common to alter the tempo that much for me. I ended up settling mostly on FLAC when I can get it and 320 CBR otherwise. I don't think I ever heard the difference.
The Windows update used to be okay in Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and 8. But Windows 10 with its forced update that has negative wait effects after every reboot is unbearable. Also Linux don't need a reboot for 99.9% of its updates and updates only the files that have changed. Something like Threshold 2 update for Win10 and all its problems like downloading 2+GB, doing a complete OS re-installation (WTF), loosing drivers and applications and settings is laughable in 2015. Also the new OldNewThing blog software isn't that great.
That's a useful feature. I've recently switched to fish shell and it has similar fuzzy autocomplete which turns out to be more useful that I thought.

You don't. Still, I'm not aware of any tooling around WordPress that makes this a viable strategy for the average WordPress customer, which I guess is the answer why nobody does it.
I told you time and again that I have no intention to teach someone who shows every intention of not wanting to learn. You simply repeated my words; I would hardly call that a prediction. However, while my unwillingness to lay forth my "tomes of knowledge" as you call them is understandable (and explicitly stated) in light of your stance, I can't see any good reason why you would still insist on not learning. I have told you that pretty much every thing you attribute to feminism is false, yet you have no interest in learning the actual claims. I cannot fathom why any person of intellect will only take pleasure in taking down arguments made by demented caricatures born of his misconceptions, while fearing to confront the actual arguments (which, he may find out, he actually agrees with!)

What you lack (and it's way more than just a claim at this point) is not wisdom (certainly not of some magical sort) but curiosity. I will match every bit of your formal reasoning, and you will enjoy the process -- I assure you. If mechanistic deduction is your only acceptable mode of thought, that is all that will be required. That brilliant Einstein/Russel paper was entirely written in first-order logic. Hardly a line of prose to it other than the somewhat dry introduction and the surprisingly droll conclusion, neither of which is essential (of course, you would have known that if you had bothered to try). An autistic robot would be convinced. However, a child would not, because as it turns out, children who are preoccupied with their own image have a hard time grasping even logic, formal as it is.

P.S.

I am a bit surprised, however, that you have brought up formal reasoning in this thread which discusses the philosophy of science. You surely know that regardless of how formal your methods are, short of logical inconsistencies, the results of your efforts largely depend on your axioms, which is what philosophy is (also) concerned with. I am not familiar with a formal method for deriving a set of axioms for humans, only informal ones.
Nations on the Brink of a Landmark Climate Accord in Paris
I won't argue that the Federation should exist, but I will argue that these producers are idiots for wanting it to stop existing. It's giving them their livelihood.

Maple Syrup prices continue to rise year after year (addicts like myself will tell you all about it). Supply is highly variable- some years the weather just doesn't work well, and there's little produced, other years there's an abundance. The Federation's cartel powers and large reserve mean that they set syrup prices (increasing, always) and they make supply constant. They also market it, increasing demand.

As an individual producer, the lack of the Federation is problematic: have a bad year, and you have nothing to sell; have a good year, well, so does everyone else- so now the price of syrup is rock-bottom, and you make very little profit, unless you decide to store it yourself and wait for a bad year.

Demand can also drop with supply variability. What company would start depending on pure maple syrup, knowing that next year it's price may double?

These guys want to have the prices that only exist because of the Federation's cartel powers, but refuse to follow the their rules. I have little sympathy.
I absolutely heard a difference between 320 and everything below. You can tell me I didn't, but I did. There is a world of difference between 160Kbps and 256, and 128 is a lot worse. If you can't hear it, I understand, but the blame isn't the algorithm -- it is your equipment, your song selection, or your ears.
That's odd. Z has newer codebase according to github, and advertises as "z is the new j, yo" in the top.

So I think the reverse is true? Autojump is abandoned and Z is alive?

To add on that, people always think Québec is more corrupt than anywhere else because of a number of events in the last years, but I'm quite sure this is not unique to Quebec and you have the same phenomena everywhere else. We only heard about corruption in Quebec because people were interested to investigate.

If you don't already use it, you should check out GNU Stow as a tool to manage those symlinks. You just make a directory (or directories) which mirrors your home folder, but with only the files you want to store in dropbox, and Stow will generate symlinks in the appropriate places.

I tested this out. I don't know anyone else to try with, so here is my contact card: https://goo.gl/photos/yhVvYGfy9Vepcp1h9

I found one other person on G+ and imported their card. I saw it said "adding to trusted contacts". I assume it means that they can read anything I post. I went to timeline and saw nothing new from the other contact. I expect that because I'm not one of their trusted contacts, I can't see what they have posted.

Then I went into contacts. I can view the new contact but not do anything I was expecting like adding to a group. The only thing I could do was delete the contact.

Next I went to write a new post. There was no options I could find to choose my audience. All posts you make will end up going to everyone in your contact list. Hopefully there is a feature in the works to create something like streams or target groups.

If I delete a contact, do they lose access to my posting key? Or do they continue to be able to access all future posts I make?
This is absurd. Spending time with one's child instead of one's job is a massive priority for any neurotypical human.

Just because someone cares about something more than their job doesn't mean they don't care about their job or do a damn fine job at it.

Long(er) maternity leave allows women to manage these conflicting priorities in a way that is more workable for parents and doesn't result in a company outright losing valuable employees when they decide to have a kid.

Recently I was surprised by how long Windows Update took to simply decide which updates were available. When rejuvenating a relative's Vista machine that hadn't been online for about 6 years, it took WU more than 2 days of fully pegging the CPU to finally deliver the news that ~200 updates were available.

What was it doing all that time? Some kind of solver?
> The Windows update used to be okay in Windows XP

Nostalgia much? How many times did e.g. .NET updates force XP computers into endless loops, or just killed the OS?

Windows Update has always been a barely functional, embarrassing mess. It's just that seems to be stuck in 2001, while others finally managed to sort their crap out.

> Parental leave is available to everyone.

That's a parent-centric view. Some of us a really not wired to have offspring. Obviously the magnitude of the situation is different, but your statement is along the lines of saying that "marriage benefits are available to everybody" prior to gay marriage being legalized.

> It's not prejudicial just because you choose not to take advantage of it, just like it's not prejudicial to offer gym memberships to people who choose not to work out.

That's a question of magnitude also. Parental leave for software engineers is easily a $10-20k benefit. Gym membership is a $100/mo benefit.
Or maybe the first few AGIs will want to spend their days watching youtube vids rather than diving into AI research. The only intelligences we know of that are capable of working on AGI are humans. We're assuming that not only will we be able to replicate human-like intelligence (seems likely, but might be much further away than many think), but that we'll be able to isolate the "industrious" side of human intelligence (not sure if we'll even be able to agree on what this is), enhance it in some way (how?), and that this enhancement will be productive.

But even if we can do all that any time soon (which is a pretty huge if), we don't even know what the effect will be. It's possible that if we remove all of the "I don't want to study math, I want to play games" or "I'm feeling depressed now because I think Tim's mad at me" parts of the human intelligence, we'll end up removing the human ingenuity important to AGI research. It might be that the resulting AGI is much more horrible at researching AI than a random person you pull off the street.
For me, IDEs are great for when I have to do boilerplate coding. But when I switch to real business logic I use an editor like vi or sublime. Anything more impedes my thinking and gets in my way.

It is not necessary to use phonemes in the model, however, it greatly restricts model's ability to learn, in particular to learn many special cases like rare foreign words. You need much more data to train the model and basically you lose ability to quickly teach the system a new word by specifying word pronunciation. It might sound great for advertising of computing power factories like Baidu is doing, but speech recognition experts are not that enthusiastic about such approach.

It is pretty disappointing that modern machine learning "experts" advertise their improved results with questionable comparisons and do not care about machine learning theory, in particular, never consider model ability to generalize, model robustness to noises and related things which must be primary subjects for research.
