The broader problem is that the Vice President has no real power. You can't balance a Presidency with an across-the-aisle candidate because the Vice President can't meaningfully do anything without the President's assent.

The interesting thing is if the Democrats nominate Sanders and the Republicans nominate Paul.

Ah, it's not allowed to go back exactly over the same line, so you can't reverse direction. You can go back and revisit the same node, but it will require a separate edge, and the two parts of the stroke will then encompass another area.

The 5-part investigation on Noka (linked to from the article) is a really fun read. You'll learn a bit about how the chocolate industry works, in sort of the style of a police procedural. Scott is a rad dude for his investigation and writeup.

The FCC only needs "teeth to do its job" because they are the only external force acting against cable monopolies. Some believe that, if the FCC were to have less power, it would be easier for more ISPs to come along and compete with the big guys (Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, etc.), and that this market force would be the "teeth" that prevents net neutrality.

I'd argue that, to some extent, we're already seeing this many of T-Mobile's more pro-competition moves in the wireless telecom space, though it's also easy to argue that the FCC is more necessary there as wireless spectrum is a much more finite, common resource than fiber in the ground (theoretically, you could run an unlimited amount of it).

As an aside, of course, many see T-Mobile's moves as bad for net neutrality based on principle, despite the fact that they're actually good for the consumer today.[1] I might argue that those people are making the same argument you are about Rand Paul: that they're " just using semantics to try and wave away this pretty important issue".

Which makes you wonder why Postgres can't just do that optimization for you.
This is fair, but let's recognize that the discussion takes place in the context of a few well known individuals who have made an enviably successful career as freelance victims, who stridently prevaricate about the persecution they've experienced in the industry, but by all accounts don't actually do any work on technology at all.

One wrote a story for a mediocre video game and claims publicly to be a game developer. Is she a 'woman in tech'? It's like if I painted a mural on a house during construction this one time and went on claiming a career in carpentry. But don't you dare claim I'm not legitimately a carpenter, because hey, stop persecuting me!

The dichotomy isn't false, it's quite real and true, and it seems obvious to me that there are a handful of lamentably visible charlatans who are to blame for it. On the other hand, I could list dozens of women in the industry whose output I greatly respect and they seem to experience great success, but you never hear a peep out of them. It's almost like the more "tangentially involved" one is with tech, the more vocal one becomes about this supposed persecution...

I have recently gotten involved in local government and local community-supporting non-profits. The US as a world power and example of virtuousness seems to be on its way to the dustbin, so I am focusing on protecting/making healthy my community.

If our local community can become strong enough, we may have a chance to survive to see what the next attempt at national/federal(/world?) government might look like.

It's one of the few ways I can think of to do something positive and legal. And non-violent.

That's the idealized definition, yes. But in practice, that's not how it works.

There are one-time projects, ongoing programs, an ever-changing list of agency priorities, and - like any negotiation - groups start higher than they need so they have wiggle room. And yes, many of those things are out of thin air or completely arbitrary.

I like Susan Greenfield. I have been trying to follow Chalmers, Greenfield, Ramachandran, Searle and others who purport to talk about consciousness in various ways and from various perspectives.

The thing is, we can see that our INTERNAL SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE is unlike any other thing we encounter in the world. It is unlike any process that we build or discover. For example, why am I in my body and not yours? As a software architect, I can recognize when there are arbitary constants being placed in the code. Likewise here, the distribution of "souls" to "bodies"... the phenomenon of internal experience corresponds exactly to my body, and not to someone else's. And since it is internal, I need to describe it from my point of view as "I", and not as something that is generated externally. It is the only thing I cannot view externally. So it is different from everything else.

Good question, keeping is probably more environmentally friendly. I'm not sure about the second hand market. As by buying one there, you'd give the previous owner some capital and him selling in the first place, could indicate that this capital will be used for a new phone. So what's the chance that the former owner will buy a fairphone? If it's lower than yours, you'd better buy a fairphone yourself. (in terms of environmental impact)

The court respecting its proper role in our tripartite system of government is also an important Constitutional concern. The framers gave primacy to the President and Congress when it came to issues of national security and defense.[1] It's not even clear the framers intended for the government's national security activities to be subject to any form of judicial review, much less that they intended the courts to be empowered to enjoin such activities before even deciding their Constitutionality.

[1] With good reason. The U.S. at the time of the founding was a fledgling country, threatened by European powers as well as domestic insurrection. There was great concern that a government with three branches would not be able to cooperate to respond effectively to foreign and domestic threats.

None of the current forwarding ASIC vendors publish enough information to write a driver for their chips. So no, you can't write your own driver. The reason OpenSwitch's OpenNSL binary is binary-only is because it uses Broadcom's proprietary SDK, and programs registers that are only available under Broadcom's NDA.

If you're just going to run it in a VM, you'd be better off with more established things like OpenBSD, OpenWRT, pfSense, Cumulus VX, or even just a Debian VM with Quagga.

<disclosure>I'm CTO of Cumulus, whose network OS is exactly as open-source as OpenSwitch: everything but the single user-space program that links to Broadcom's SDK.</disclosure>

There's another hidden aspect: Be aware of dependencies.

When you have a series of dependencies (A -> B -> C) stacked against each other, once A is late, B and C are almost guaranteed to be late. If B is late too, C suffers even more and has little chance of being on time.

If you can lay out the tasks so that dependencies have slack between them so that lateness can be absorbed without shifting later tasks, you are more likely chance to hit deadlines and potentially complete the project on time. Or in more formal terms, track the Critical Path.

In practical terms, I would see this all the time commuting home in DC. I walked to the train to the bus to home. If I timed it perfectly, my commute was ~25 minutes. But if I couldn't cross the street in time, I'd catch a later train which made for a later bus. Or a slightly later train would be a much later bus. When those variances stacked up, it could take an hour.
I have always had feeling, that this style of visual programming would be better suited to functional paradigm.

It would be nice to be able to visually plug a lambda into higher order function. Bonus points if it has some notion of reactive or data-flow programming built in :-)

Is there something like that?
It's a tough issue. Having every line of code be exactly 100% consistent isn't a bad thing, in fact, it's a good thing. But, I question if it's worth the time, effort and frustration to do this. I feel it could be better spent on more pragmatic things, like code correctness.

And then of course, there's the minor changes that don't actually bring any improvement at all. It's tough though, because I feel that pushing back against these things, at least in the short term, just eats more time, is more of an effort, and causes tension.
There is some stuff that can easily take almost no time or can end up taking months. Two items that are commonly like this on software projects are fixing bugs (that can either turn out to be really, really hard or not bugs at all) or upgrading package dependencies (can require no changes whatsoever or can require a significant rearchitecture).

I think scheduling these issues would benefit more from splitting up risk and estimated duration and estimating both separately. Perhaps by drawing a mini probability distribution for each task.

Breaking down the task only helps if, in some way, analysing the constituent pieces actually helps you better estimate the risk or brings unconsidered requirements to light. Sometimes it doesn't. If you do too much of it it can also end up being a contributing factor to the delays (analysing every last detail).

blocks-based languages were designed mainly for education, especially targeting younger users such as children. as experienced programmers, we often take it for granted how demoralizing syntax errors can be; blocks languages eliminate that giant hurdle for novices to help get them hooked on programming before they move onto traditional text-based languages.

The magical thinking with less regulatory power = more competition with regard to utilities like last-mile internet comes down to 1) infrastructure cost and 2) lack of access to shared infrastructure.

For most potential players, it simply costs too much to even think about entering the market. Truly unregulated free markets are great in theory, but are instantly distorted when you take things like reality into account.

Part of what the recent net neutrality rules did is ensure that power utilities must lease pole/conduit access to internet utilities at the same rates they lease to cable tv and telephone utilities. This helps reduce cost to enter the market.

I think the 'fair trade' aspects are important and should be universal. I'd also like to see equal concern for 'fair trade' for consumers, who shouldn't have to accept being spied upon.

I've spent months trying to find a reasonably simple way to have a smartphone where I have end-user control over my data and communications, and it seems impossible (without building my own phone or OS).

I know many people don't care; that's fine for them, but I should have the option.
Whatever one does - thinking, feeling, etc. - one needs to exist first. So you can substitute cogito with whatever you like.

The question, on the other hand, is what does it mean to exist. Philosophers are obsessed with this question, epistemology.

Think about it... If I told you that an entire universe exists that you can never perceive or discover through any observations of the one you live in, in what sense does it exist vs not exist? If I replace the word exist With some made up word, will the sentence have any less meaning? It follows from this that existence seems to be defined in terms of perception of conscious observers. And in fact, consciousness and existence are inextricably linked. Philosophers cannot talk of existence without implying consciousness.

And the question begins anew -- what is the nature of this perspective from this world, from my body?

> why am I in my body and not yours?

The simplest explanation that doesn't appeal to magic is that the 'I' is created by the activity of the CNS (etc) of a body.

That seems completely satisfactory to me. It's like asking why the engine sounds of my car are in my car and not in your car.

A related answer is "because that's where your eyeballs are". If you wear a good VR headset, you can be somewhere other than your body for a while.

Mmm. For those downvoting, it's fairly easy to compare features and throughput. The pfSense team is making great strides, and has a roadmap that starts to close the gap.

But, there is a notable gap. Compare throughput for a 3DES vpn for example. Or total throughput with filtering on.

Where do you live? These numbers are fairly local to SF/NYC/Seattle, with other large cities trailing a bit and smaller cities farther behind.

That said, in those cities they are far from absurd. I started out similar to you (coding since elementary school) and now live in NYC ~3.5 years out of college. Off the top of my head, I could name half a dozen developers making seven figures, and at least 100 making over $200k.

I have nothing against the blocks&arrow model. I just find it [sometimes horribly] inefficient.

For instance, in a video-compositing application (something like nuke - to put a name) it makes sense, especially so you can represent/preview the state of the filter in the block itself, but it's far from being an efficient method to input or manipulate. If you have experience by programming in any classical language with a grammar, it should be self-evident.

I find myself thinking I could represent the same graph in a much more compact and logically structural way using a written grammar, albeit doing that loses some given visual aspects like previewing.

I was explicitly asking if there is anything else available.

Could someone provide background on the the Dual EC issue, and why this announcement is probably more important for the Dual EC implications than for Juniper's backdoor, as tptacek says below?

While I wish I was an uber-crypto-nerd, unfortunately I only have time to be an occasional crypto geek.

EDIT: Here's a start, from another front page HN article: "Dual-EC was an NSA effort to introduce a backdoored random number generator (RNG) that, given knowledge of a secret key, allowed an attacker to observe output from the RNG and then predict its future output."
Matrices are easy enough:

var grid = ispace(int2d, { x = 4, y = 4 })
var matrix = region(grid, float)

But beyond that, most things are left to the programmer. E.g., if you want to build a mesh data structure, it's up to you to decide exactly how to build it. (Do you build a graph with pointers? Do you make it an N-dimensional grid? etc.) But my impression talking to application programmers is that most of the time, they want to make those decisions themselves anyway. A standard library might be nice, but it's never going to fit all use cases. So the first job of any language design is to make sure the abstractions are general enough to describe what users want.
In a twist of irony, this paper itself is not anonymous.

Jokes aside, while many suggestions and rationale for them make sense, I wonder how it is going to be implemented in practice. Many scientific areas are narrow enough for people "in the know" to figure out who the author is.

(1) Let me spit some fire. Facebook sucks at a lot of things and excels at some. There is a huge number of companies with development teams 10x smaller than Facebook's and 10x better. You're not shooting low if you're applying to something else, you're shooting high, because as someone who has no experience in team work, source control, testing or any specific language, anything will be aiming high for now.

(2.) Probably yes, but with your skill set you should be Aiming for a junior job, not something with 3+ years experience requirement.

(3.) Get experience and look at your old code in six months, you'll see what level you were on. It's not about "how strong is the force in you", it's about "how much experience and wisdom do you have in real world situations". Just in those first six months, you'll probably encounter a lot of situations your college didn't prep you for.

(4.) Go get a junior job. Join an open source project. Develop something alone and ask people to contribute. It doesn't have to be Google/FB/TW.
