Out of curiosity I dug into this a bit more. The BBC's multicast trial (which has been a trial for at least ten years now) is still running, but I assume at this point isn't going anywhere.

However BT (one of the big ISPs) uses multicast to deliver their TV service, so I assume BT their connections are capable of receiving multicasts if properly configured.

I think the key point shockzzz makes is: "it is in no way as secular, or as peaceful, as Westerners think it is"
(Just look at what is happening in Burma right now or Sri Lanka)

Satan and Jesus are walking down the street. They see man in front of them picking up small piece of truth. Jesus says "Satan! That man has realized the Truth! There is nothing you can to do to stop him now!" Satan smiles cunningly at Jesus "Yes, he has realized the Truth. And now I am going to help him organize the Truth!" As a secular Buddhist the key issue for me is that whenever Buddhism becomes popular main religion, it will will more or less dilute into something very different.

In Zen Buddhist tradition there are many autobiographies and stories from over thousand years of Zen Buddhism. They tell the story of constant struggle between community/authority and actual praxis. Either authorities want to embrace Buddhism and dilute and disfigure it into common religious formula, or they prosecute it. Buddhism as a religion seems to be in the state constant decay and needs periodic reforms to get back into basics.

The history of Thai Forest Tradition is good example of how there was need for reform in Buddhist monastic tradition in a country where Buddhism is everywhere in well organized and accepted form.
Luckily, when I did vipassana, I was in a group that did not insert much religion in weekly practice or retreats. Sometimes, there were separate reading groups for people who were interested. But practice was only sitting, walking, sitting, and then the opportunity to tell about your experience if you wanted to.

I think another problematic aspect (besides religious dogma) is the hierarchy that exists in some communities. While I definitely think that it's important to be guided by an experienced meditator, some leaders are (unjustly) put on a pedestal (even more when they are from the east). This leads to people accepting practice (or even sexual abuse in some cases) without critical thinking.

A theme that runs through some of the comments here is that TAOCP is not worth reading straight throught, but it makes a good reference work. In the last 10 years, I've used it as a reference exactly once, when I peeked into Vol 1 on semi-numerical algos. I found it as well-written as I remembered, but requiring heavy slogging to find out one detail. Ultimately, I found what I needed online. I would argue that great as TAOCP is, it's rarely going to serve many needs even as a reference.
I wonder what it would cost to have a Mechanical Turk do this. How much would you be willing to pay?
Another C++11 ‘countof’
Years ago I wrote a compiler (for bytecode) in awk. Ummm... http://cowlark.com/mercat, although you'll need to wade through zip files to get at the source. It was 1.6kloc for a fully typed algolish language producing stack-based bytecode.

awk's a lovely little language, and deserves to be better known than it is. Its two big failings are local variable syntax and absence of structured types... and the standard library's a bit mad in places (gsub, sigh). But it's expressive and concise and still readable, and meets its core competency of doing easy text processing beautifully.

The most recent thing I wrote in it was this:

https://github.com/EtchedPixels/FUZIX/blob/master/Applicatio...

That's a C file which is also an executable shell script which contains an embedded awk script. The whole thing's a Forth interpreter. Running the file uses the awk script to compile a Forth subset into bytecode and patch the source file with the new bytecode, which allows me to keep the whole thing in a single source file. It's not what I'd call good awk, but it's incredibly effective awk...
Everything old is new again. One of the original intents of I2C was just that -- a universal bus for semi-low speed devices, including keyboards. USB just happened to come around at the same time and defined a physical spec along with an protocol, and the battle was done, with I2C relegated to embedded devices and things like querying monitors for supported features/modes.
Before:

Translation: "You were right." Apart from the fact that heat and light are kinetic energy.

Further reading: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/gravitational-wave...

Quote from the above article: "LIGO's detectors, at their current sensitivity, could pick up only gravitational waves of frequencies well above 10 Hertz. So if they have picked up a signal, they would have captured the final stages of the drama, when the black holes circle more than 10 times per second, speeding up to several thousand times a second just before they merge. Simulations show that the resulting waves, if played as an audible sound, resemble a bird’s ‘chirp’ (http://www.ligo.org/science/GW-Inspiral.php) (http://www.ligo.org/science/GW-Overview/sounds/chirp40-1300H...)."

My original remark from yesterday, to which you ignorantly objected: "... eventually two black holes will merge, which will produce a completely fantastic observation consisting of a rapidly rising frequency (as the two BHs circle each other closer and closer, shedding their orbital energy as gravitational waves), followed by a very loud cosmological pop as the BHs finally collapse into each other."

Nginx has been removed from Debian Stable
I searched Debian's packages and it looks like they've removed Nginx from the stable distribution (Jessie). It looks to be temporary as it's still in Sid, but I can't find any information on Debian's site. Does this indicate a problem with the previously available packages? From what's on my machine, the previously available version was 1.6.2.

Here are the search results, although they're liable to change when Nginx gets reintroduced:

Just like many people have committed violence claiming to be Christians, so have people committed violence claiming to be devout Buddhists.

Regarding you second point, I am not sure I see the value of saying "Buddhism is not a religion if you ignore the religious bits"... you might well say that about any religion. There are plenty of secular Muslims and secular Jews for example, but that does not make Islam or Judaism any less of a religion.

> * Which EAP? EAP-TLS? EAP-MD5? [0] EAP-MSCHAPv2? Or perhaps EAP-GTC?

EAP-TLS ideally. You need a CA infrastructure, a radius server, and a way of doing automated enrolment, revocation and install of client certificates. A lot of work if you haven't already got those parts (though many places already do), but it's fairly hassle free and secure once up and running.

For bonus points you can extend 802.11x goodness to your wired desktop ports as well.

You probably need at least one other network/BSSID with standard wpa2 for non-managed devices as you say.

Dreamcatcher sounds interesting - and in some sense, a return to older workflows. A friend worked at an F1 team at a point when they were transitioning from 2D draughting to parametric 3D CAD - One of the big issues was that in the prior setup, the designers would often draw bearing surfaces & forces on them, and the envelope - leaving the detail to the pattern makers.

Whilst fast, this suffered from the varying skills of the pattern makers, and that they were all approaching or well past retirement age, with no prospect of new blood.

The longer term benefits of the 3D CAD workflow took a while to realise, as it got mired in a lot of implementation detail that would previously have been deferred.

The success of GoPro so far has been the result of

1)first mover advantage

2)Smart marketing with viral videos of athletes in various extreme sports

3)Selling proprietary accessories

However now that some time has passed and competitors have appeared GoPro is losing ground on all types of users

1)Casual GoPro users already have one and are not going to upgrade

2)Pro users are turning to models with better form factor (sony, contour etc)

The Sony action cameras come with built-in video stabilization a feature that GoPro cameras do not have yet.

The first two days will be hell, believe me :). The mind will crave for talking, listing to music, reading the web, etc. The thirst will become bigger and bigger.

On my first retreat, I decided to leave after two days. I told my meditation guide at the daily personal meeting that I would stop. He jokingly said "I'll make sure that you get the refund". His light-hearted response made me realize that I made a monster out of my cravings for daily distractions.

I continued the retreat. It was amazing!

> Emotions and addictions start small, and get stronger as we feed them by reacting to them. If you want to stop a destructive emotion or an addiction, learn to notice it early and stay completely equanimous to it.

I've just been doing a bit of reading on NLP and, underneath the jargon, one of the key ideas seems to be that emotional states have a physical location in your body - and if you can locate it then you can start to enhance or attenuate the emotion.

This sounds pretty similar, although approaching it from a different direction.

It is actually

2. Get a feel of the market and see how many candidates you get and what salary they ask

3. Gain brand awareness because candidates are used to your name

4. Test the effectiveness of your hiring/advertising channels without actually hiring anybody

5. When you actually need to hire somebody you already know what salary people ask, you know what kind of people will find your ad and you focus only on current CVs
The Great Seal Bug
It might look strange but it would at least look like the original user crafted the entire message at once.

I think the appearance of 'desperation' arises in the reader's head because it looks like the author was hoping to receive a reply after each sentence (even if they weren't).

i.e. when received as several messages it looks like

Hello.

Why are you ignoring me?

Why is everyone ignoring me?

We have something similar in Norway called Acem Meditation.

- Stimulates cognitive and emotional processing
Why to assume that any kind of server setup would need a dedicated Ops guy? It is reasonable to assume that once a server is provisoned, all you need is to have familiarity with tools and how things work to resolve issues.

I know I might be oversimplifying but the decision is not always simple as "we save one hire". Seeing many articles on the web, PaaS bills rake up more quickly than anyone expects.
I found it to be very simple to use and easy to navigate. Your usability engineers have done a terrific job!
Prolog is probably the only language that gets even close to the original declarative programming promise, of giving the computer a goal and letting it find the way to achieve it.

It looks like machine learning might be moving towards fulfilling that promise, btw.

A bit of a shame that logic programming is not part of that. Prolog and machine learning would be a match made in heaven, if you ask me (you shouldn't, I'm biased).
You can easily have this privilege. I asked my employer and they had no problem giving me 10 unpaid days off. I didn't mind it was unpaid, because I would not be spending money for 10 days either.

Usually you have to register about 4 months in advance, you can find a center close to you on http://dhamma.org.

Just realize how there will _always_ be new things happening and work never ends and is never finished, so missing 10 days is nothing and no job is so important that it can't be interrupted for 10 days or done by someone else for that period.

Yeah, UK central heating systems in homes use the full 240V for all their control wiring. It's worth bearing in mind that this isn't just signalling - the thermostat and timer directly switch the power to the pump and valves.

It’s a fair comparison … just because your own suspicions are confirmed doesn’t mean it’s not one.

To be honest, I find this criticism baffling and confusing. I would agree that I would want to dig deeper now and figure out the exact variables that explain the difference – but what we have here is an extremely compelling starting point and an extremely interesting difference.

i'll bet there is. think of what the PTO (power take-off) enabled in general for the common tractor.

So the takeaway is always send less words as you don't know on what device the recipient will read it.

You can guess however where the user will read your message on. Business related it's most probably an email client on a desktop. Sending personal messages most likely on phone. So format accordingly.

In this sitation its better to format:
"Hey! It was great meeting you! Pretty sure my ears will be ringing for the next week haha"

And then wait for the girls reply. Regardless on the device she reads, it will look good and doesn't come off as needy. Then your next message will be to ask her out on Saturday. And if she doesn't reply, she's not into you and leave it there ;)

Or we should invent responsive texts, depending on the device it adds or removes words...

You mean a common platform, similar to what iOS is in the computing world? Sounds nice, but I guess we use a different definition of "open".
> Suppose you lost something very valuable and sentimental, even if you knew it was destroyed, is it unreasonable to spend 15% of its value ($100M/$691.7M = 15%) to find out what happened to it?

Does sentimental value scale with monetary value like that? I don't think it does. If I'd spend $1000 to figure out what happened to a $1 trinket my sister gave me, that doesn't mean I'd spend $10,000 to figure out what happened to a $10 thing.
Apple doesn't do this imo. I remember when I used Windows I had to upgrade way more often or reinstall the OS just to speed it up every 12 months. My Macs last 4-6 years and I know people happy with iPhone's that are 4 years old. I stil use a 7 year old iPod with no issues too.
How wouldn't that be absolutely fine?
Note: This is an Autodesk blog marketing an Autodesk product.

The funny thing is it leaves parametric modeling completely out of the discussion. That is, modeling based on pre-designed components that the end user then configures and lays out per the design intent.

This amplifies the productivity of a person doing the modeling quite a bit.

Granted, this works only in areas with fairly well understood problem and solution spaces and is a bit different than the approach described in the article.

Just to point out it's not a review article in general, but a marketing piece.

I've heard about this before and the people were usually happy. However it sounded pretty culty from descriptions. Trying to convince people that your way is the only way sounds like you don't understand Buddhism at all (I don't understand it either just on a very superficial level).

I also hear quite a few "I felt more productive, less stressed out" etc. remarks. I wonder if 10 days of relaxing on a beach wouldn't have a similar effect. Has anyone done scientific studies on this? I remember a study on meditation being positively correlated to learning but am not sure if I remember correctly.
