Reddit too. I just wrote 500 words without using any logical fallacies backing up my assertions with scientific studies from trusted sources, why does my comment have -12 points without a single person taking the time to refute my position in a comment?

I believe managed, licenced hunting in Africa supports conservation efforts, there is no reason ever to spank or hit a child, all children should be vaccinated, and pitbulls are dangerous.

So, most people have unfriended and/or blocked me on Facebook. Now I live in a bubble. I'm not bothered by people who don't agree with me. I'm bothered by people who can't debate these topics without getting riled up. The African hunting topic ended with someone threatening my little sister. I can understand the business decision behind letting people live in a bubble.
Which is your home country? Because it's the same in mine and the reason is the local market here sucks.

I've applied to many companies that required opensource and just flat-told them that I only have private projects to show. So I have a couple private projects that I can share the repo (ask the previous employer about it) and have not been rejected for this. The reason is they just want to see your code, how you write docs, readmes, commits, tests, schemas etc.

The "all your code are belong to us" clause is just a negative side of a company. Either don't work for them, ask them if you can use their source only to show to other clients, or lie and also work on something else behind their backs that you can show to your next employer.
Without a business class, every seat on the plane would be a bit larger and more comfortable.

And rather more expensive.

It also has to do with cultural and social boundaries. Every time a new "genre" came (no odd new music genre came since long ago AFAIK) it was felt. Every time a new medium (from radio to LP, Video Clips, CD) came it was felt.
The odd part is that the web didn't recreate that. I feel this generation is diluted by too large market, too much technology, not enough structural pressure (limited places and market means competition, not always bad even with the drawbacks) and maybe the shadow of the past media hysteria around multimillion albums artists.

I'm really confused about what is the author intent with this article. At first read, it is pointless. The first paragraph pretty much resumes it: "These are my rules, but they're not good because I break them more often than I adhere to them". If this is intended as a starting point for a discussion, as the author claims, I think a forum is more appropriate format, and at least start from some previous existing convention discussion. This just looks like trying to reinvent the wheel from scratch.
I think the problem with the article is that it doesn't dig deep enough.

For example, Facebook news feed is driven by an algorithm to push posts you are likely to be interested in. Liking an anti-vaccination post or anti-immigration post will surely result in more similar content in your news feed.

So Facebook inadvertently might be reinforcing confirmation bias more than anything else due to content being filtered and personalized to you only.
He was the inventor of continuous public self-reinvention. He saw the job of re-imagining and then sculpting his own public identity as being inseparable from the musical inspiration that propelled it. For him, if any new musical idea he had felt unique enough, he would feel driven to create a new persona to perform it.

Not sure what Asperger is. I am very sensitive: I cry at almost all movies I'm watching even the silliest ones, when the guy kiss the girl, or the father finds his son back. Maybe I'm weird, or just too influenced by Eastern philosophy, but when someone old dies I feel it is ok, it is supposed to be like that, it is the normal course of nature.

My preferred living writer died some time ago. It was ok too, even if I read all his books more than once and often refer to what I think he would say about a topic. He was old enough to pass away (and was apparently too old to write more interesting pieces), so it was ok. I think the same about David Bowie. No need to display an excess of [edit: affliction], he had his good time, let him let some room to younger musicians. No?

From what I've seen recently, RoR work seems to have decent pay when doing it remotely, compared to PHP. Perhaps less competition on price from developing countries?

I intend to learn RoR in the nearby future as well, since I'd like to do more remote work and less "on location" work (which I currently do as iOS dev).
Bowie's first albums didn't catch on at all. It wasn't until he decided to change his presentation and style that he became successful. I recommend seeing "David Bowie & The Story of Ziggy Stardust" which talks about it. It wasn't until Hunky Dory in 1971 that he really got traction. He was dropped by his label (Mercury) after his third album. He signed with RCA for his 4th, Hunky Dory (Ziggy was his 5th). After that, he basically hit single digits for his peak chart position in the UK for in to the 90s for his studio albums.

So, you can look at it as Mercury took a chance, didn't succeed and dropped him. RCA tried again and succeeded. But, he changed his approach and style around this time in an attempt to market himself better. Then, EMI would reap the rewards again in the 80s for Let's Dance which hit number 1 in a half-dozen countries and close to it in a few others.
Actually, I've noticed that when people post misinformation in the form of a link to an article, FB often has some "See also" items posted below it that debunk the story.
I have similar sentiments for similar reasons, after having to write and support apps (ios/android/web) while working in a research lab… however I realized that I was much more likely to enjoy this for playing around with different neural hardware devices (for all the stuff that I want to help build on top of it and automate away, like having to type with my hands most of the day, or when I want to look up information and engage with information, but don't want to manually query for it or it is difficult/annoying to do so the degree I want if I'm out and about like with locked down phones and all compared to a laptop or desktop, which would be more socially acceptable with neural device under hat on a given winter day as most people will be unaware that i'm doing such).

Though, I'm more motivated by what I could theoretically do [faster|more comprehensively|repeatably] with code than I am with it in of in itself, and occasionally I like acting on such. Having x number of beamformers targeting different brain regions that I can customize quickly without interfering with timing of processing a signal or buying/making more analog hardware nor completely wasting cpus/memory to my own tolerance is cool, caring whether I use structs vs this or that some class inheritance scheme vs this or that implementation of shared pointers vs tabs or spaces… I couldn't care less about in of in itself and find myself annoyed when I have to deal with such talk.

Spotify stopped working on Ubuntu a while back so I can't check but I'm pretty sure there is a HypeMachine app for Spotify. So you can get recommendations from them within the Spotify client.

"boringness of having to watch them constantly". My third child is 2 and he is not boring. He is very creative. I think the problem is "watch them constantly". This is a source of frustration for us as parent (we have so many other things to do) and not good for them (not socializing). I think it is useful to delegate to nursery and to be available to play with our children when they are back home.

This is very true. What did you use instead?

wxWidgets is the same - when a wxWindow gets deleted, it will remove its children in the view hierarchy, which are likely not children of it as data members. I think a lot of this comes from the fact that underneath native pointers are being used (eg handles on Windows) and widgets/controls are not necessarily going to be data members of a parent. It also means you can reparent widgets/controls to other GUI items at runtime. I do this (for example) when switching notebook pages to rehouse a GUI element in order to save RAM; I just assign it new data to display and it means less RAM usage and creation time for each notebook page.

For your own data controls, we can still ensure that they clean themselves up alright and safely, just use pointers for the GUI items. In some sense, the GUI toolkit takes care of deleting its own members, eg. wxWidgets will delete all of a parent wxWindow children at teardown, so it isn't a leak situation.
Or: people were always tribal and concerned more with shibboleths identifying the in-group than truth. Facebook (and Tumblr and Reddit, etc, even HN) just automates it.

Obvious typo: Pointing out how Google is evil, does NOT exclude other companies from being evil too.
The person who referred to "LessWrong background" and talked about paperclip maximizers wasn't (at least, so it looks to me) mocking or dismissing.

The last paragraph of that comment does say "the LessWrong folks tend to be overly dramatic in their concerns" but goes on immediately to add "But they do have a point that the problem of controlling something much more intelligent than yourself is hard [...] and, if truly super-human intelligence is practically possible, then it needs to be solved before we build it".
The Future of Programming by Bret Victor
I have settled on Lua and C/C++ as my principle language/environment and it is a real joy. I think anyone who is 'into' C++ and hasn't yet grok'ed what Lua can do for them is going to have a good time if they dig deeper. Lua can do anything those other languages can do. And you can write C++ for the hard stuff.

I'm sort of surprised it doesn't come up more in this environment, but modern C++, Lua, and LuaJIT .. these things appear, to me, far more valuable than given by the hoipolloi ..

The point is, an investment in C++ does not mean you can't 'have all the fun toys too', because .. you can. And boy do they kick ass.

SIMD.js's shuffle instructions closely resemble LLVM's shuffle instructions, and LLVM also require shuffle indices to be constant, so this isn't restriction isn't unique to SIMD.js. Also, x86's shuffle situation is much more involved than your post here acknowledges; it includes shufps, shufpd, movlhps, movlhpd, movhlps, movhlpd, unpcklps, unpcklpd, unpckhps, unpckhpd, movss, movsd, and more, and all of these are effectively constant shuffle masks.

I agree that there's more we can do here, and there are some interesting questions if we want to abstract over pshufb and VTBL and so on. Fortunately, SIMD.js is an evolving API and we can add things to it.

It would be interesting to study Simulacra and Simulation when it comes to social media and memes.

People tend to align themselves with other people and communities who share similar beliefs. You can often see this where people Like and Share these meme images with some "profound" message (eg. "A real man/woman ...") when they like, agree with or find interesting for some or other reason.

So, what IMO would be interesting to see is how these things changes their world view and self-image. Are they replacing the reality of life with a simulacra (the meme; Social Media "friends" I supposed can be argued to be another simulacra)? How much more likely are they to like/share to share posts from others who they perceive to have similar world-views, even if they know very little about the topic? How likely are they to defend ideas which they only have by virtue of their social connection to other people?

> the app had been developed on a mac, so it's fairly easy to only test on webkit/blink

It's no harder to only test on Chrome in Linux and IE in Windows, I fail to see how that's an excuse. The only excuses are IE testing when developing on OSX and Safari testing when developing on Windows, it's trivial to install both Firefox and Chrome on any OS.
Yes, everybody has always been like this, but tech has changed the social nature of interaction. It's not just Facebook. Any online community (including HN) has a desire to limit conflict -- you want people enjoying themselves and contributing. That means "Don't show me stuff that I disagree with"

There's a natural conflict of interest. In the real world, we are forced to live with and confront those of widely varying opinions. Many times this is a huge pain in the ass. But it's good for the species overall. Over time, initially unpopular and ugly opinions get vetted: about one in a 100/1000 turn out to be a critical evolution in the way all of us think about ourselves.

In the virtual world, no such limits exist. We cannot afford to have the 1% folks who destroy discourse, so we just magically make them not exist. People share and promote emotional things which the vast majority can agree on. Instead of the outliers driving change, we begin to norm down those farther and farther out on the bell curve.

So people turn inward to their phones and tribes. We physically live next to each other, but we don't actually live with each other. Instead of a diverse and accomplished species, we are slowly becoming one large, comfortable mob.
As the original developer writes, porting the whole thing to a different API would be too demanding for his schedule. Perhaps someone else might want to pick up the project/create an OSM fork?

Feynman is great, and I'd add Meehl's paradox: http://www.fisme.science.uu.nl/staff/christianb/downloads/me...

A lot of the research that relies on null hypothesis significance testing really is lousy. But it is not just a matter of sloppiness, it's also a function of the area of study. For example, there is a lot of evidence that people who had a bad childhood and little economic opportunity are more likely to commit crime. Is the study of that phenomenon not science just because a sociologist is unable to mechanistically predict that if your mother didn't read you bed-time stories, you are guaranteed to rob a neighborhood store, at the age of 23.2 years old? Is research into cancer drugs not science because we can't predict beforehand if the drug will help a little or a lot, even though we know of the causal mechanism that should make the drug effective?
If you're not into guns, it probably won't make any difference.
Uh, tape out doesn't mean you've verified anything properly.

Looking at the various Intel bugs found, I can't help sniggering a little. Verification mistakes happen all the time though. It's just a matter of when the bugs are found: if found later, it has much greater impact.

On the 28nm issue, getting your design to synthesize to 28 nm depends on the architecture and your constraints. Trickier data paths make it harder to get it meeting timing. Where your IOs are placed, where your RAMs are placed and how much you have, each thing can make it harder and harder to synthesize. Adapteva doesn't have much RAM I believe.
The focus on rent is a good legacy of George's theory. However, I was quickly disappointed by the book that was linked. George was doing well critiquing previous economic theory that had separate theories of wages, rent, and profit. He showed instead that it must be that production = wages + rent + interest, as a formula that relates them and can be rearranged. Then in the next chapter, 12, he falls into a sort of absurdity about the nature of interest, where he claims interest exists because of natural increase, such as of bees or ageing wine, and wouldn't exist otherwise.

That's not an advanced enough theory of why there's interest on capital and the rate of it. It doesn't even seem quite sane, in comparison with the example of reasoning that he was setting and teaching up to that point. There should be some school of economics that promotes a George-like view of rent, but that isn't embarrassing when it comes to explaining capital and interest.
A list of numbers also functions as a slightly messy ascii log graph.

Sure, they're probably not even in the same state (:P) as the department you really need to speak with, but they're constantly trained to be driven and achieve customer satisfaction - and they all have that after-conversation rating thing they're working for (btw, max everything out on that, most of them are graded exponentially toward maximum, something insane like: 0..n-2 usually means 10-20%, n-1 is 50% and n is 100%).

After enough convincing (the magic, arbitrary protocol is always different) they'll try and figure Something(TM) out. Especially if you repeatedly, patiently call them.
Filesharing done differently
>> Less code is not really that important anymore (within sensible bounds) Clarity to whatever poor shmo has to maintain it is often much more important than saving 5 lines with some clever bit twiddling hack.

I don't think many people will advocate reducing line count by stuffing the same processing into fewer lines using clever tricks. What should always be considered a good thing though, is cutting down on the line count by changing the algorithm/strategy, using better suited data structures, by trying to 'do less' and get the same result, not trying to support every thinkable corner case you will never run into, by preferring multiple simple implementations of the same thing for different corner cases, over one single complex kitchen-sink solution, by not re-inventing the wheel and using tried & tested libraries/frameworks, etc.

I know it sounds like a terrible cliche, but any line you don't write, is a line that can't contain bugs ;-). Over the years I've learned that almost always, simplicity is preferred over complexity, even if it implies a little bit of duplication, or an implementation that is 'less awesome' because it 'only' does what is needed for the application.
This a a proposal to form a new decentralised filesharing network. One that is easy to use and protects the identity. At best, it will give you anonymity. And in the worst case, it will give you plausible deniability.

This will probably raise some scepsis, I know. But so far I've got positive reactions to this idea. So, please, take your time to read it and think about it. Maybe even discuss it or see if a proof-of-concept is possible.

I've posted an earlier draft of this proposal before, but it didn't really get picked up. I did get some usefull feedback, though. So, I went back to the drawing board and this is the result.

I hope you enjoy the read and that it will be inspiring.
An article here[0] includes some discussion of the cMix network model that Chaum designed, and which PrivaTegrity is based on.

I understand the idea that moving network path setup off of network user nodes and onto collection of hub nodes (network handlers) reduces the risk profile from a single user node being compromised. But I'm wondering how that doesn't still open network users up to nation states subpoenaing access or the right to put trackers on those hub nodes.

In my very layman understanding here, wouldn't there be a greater risk to a compromised hub node, which a much greater percentage of users of the network are guaranteed to send traffic across?

Right, so it's not "a figure of speech", which was my point. He wasn't just saying "hey, like, it's a billion-to-one", which would be a figure of speech because the "billion" clearly would not be meant literally. Rather, the 25 was specifically computed, albeit under unrealistic assumptions (as you point out).
