Obviously I'm not explaining myself very well. I will make a last try.

The comment I was answering, talked about a government buffering mechanism as something wrong and destructive (burning real wealth). I just pointed that this kind of mechanism is not necessarily destructive.

In the next paragraph he proposes that the only way to go out of recessions is the "creative destruction" of capitalism. This is effective destruction of real wealth. It seems, that if the markets decide to destroy real wealth, then it's OK.

My answer was only about that and I was not saying that the buffering mechanism created demand.

Interestingly enough, even if I was not claiming anything about that before, there is a buffering mechanism that would create demand, and keep inflation in check: Job Guarantee as a buffer mechanism of jobs.

I am not totally convinced about the idea myself, but I think it deserves more attention
It's an ssh login notification with a user and IP address. It's not notifying everyone what the new launch codes are. Let's not overstate it.
It's not at all well developed yet.

I've been using the Amazon web reader (mostly because I'm in Beijing at the moment and getting anything onto my kindle is a pain). I have the reader full-screen and Atom in Zen mode, and switch back and forth with i3.

For the books already there I took notes as I read. For the current book I'm trying out reading a chapter, writing down notes from memory and then skimming the chapter again to see if I missed anything.

For stuff I want to follow up I've been just putting TODO in the notes rather than breaking the flow.
Sorry off topic, but just wanted to check if I can reach you by email. I am building something on those lines, and wanted to see if we can exchange ideas. My email is on my profile.
You'd be hard pressed to convince me that Windows model for locking files is superior to what Unix offers, at least as far as file deletion goes. Conceptually speaking, it's pretty simple:

* Files are blobs of storage on disk referenced by inode number.
* Each file can have zero or more directory entries referencing the file. (Additional directory entries are created using hard links.)
* Each file can have zero or more open file descriptors.
* Each blob has a reference count, and disk space is able to be reclaimed when the reference count goes to zero.

Interestingly enough, this means that 'rm' doesn't technically remove a file - what it does is unlink a directory entry. The 'removal' of the file is just what happens when there are no more directory entries to the file and nothing has it open.

https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Researc...

In addition to letting you delete files without worrying about closing all the accessing processes, this also lets you do some useful things to help manage file lifecycle. ie: I've used it before in a system where files had to be in an 'online' directory and another directory where they were queued up to be replicated to off-site storage. The system had a directory entry for each use of the file, which avoided the need to keep a bunch of copies around, and deferred the problem of reclaiming disk storage to the file system.
Yes. Possibly the meaning of "people" is not the same for you as for him.
On iOS — in contrast to Android — you can actually change the default search provider, yes.

(On Android you can't change it at all. And so I'm either stuck with a Google search on the Recents menu, or the "this widget could not be found" message)
Linear algebra is simple (but ubiquitous - so you need to feel it, not only "sort of follow it").

Some visual matrix operations are here: http://setosa.io/ev/
If you want a beginner textbook, I recommend http://www.matrixanalysis.com/

Again, it is simple, so maybe you can even take course and look up Wikipedia when needed (but for me it is hard to guess you level, current knowledge, etc).

In any case, this ML course assumes some ML knowledge.
Assuming that the article is correct and that adoption is being hampered by concerns about secondhand values, rebates and diminishing relative performance, then leasing would seem to offer the best option. You can always then turn in you existing model for a better one after a couple of years.

However, this doesn't seem that green. You might not be pushing clouds of particulates into the air around your home, but there is still the power consumed in manufacturing a new car for you every 2 years.

Perhaps, the Riversimple model would also work for electric cars. They sell you mobility as a service - and the motivation to keep you moving efficiently remains with them. In theory this should force them to keep the vehicle upgradable. http://riversimple.com/how-the-business-works/

The comparison with phones is interesting. We are starting to get phones with batteries that can't be changed. Do we now just plan to throw them away every 2 years, or are we actually losing interest and need to be forced to upgrade?
Well, yes, we are talking about _American_ taxes on cigarettes - are we not?

> If you assume everyone mismanages funds, you don't give them enough funds to really deliver value on

Why on Earth would you assume that? I don't give anybody tax money. Considering how much god damned money my country spends murdering innocent civilians in the MENA region, I'd say you're looking at it backwards.

> The rest of the world has relatively well functioning governments

I've passed through nearly four dozen embassies in my day, and never have I met a "well-functioning" government throughout that broad experience. I think you're full of shit, and are just recycling old "isms" that don't apply to the modern world.

Another minor nit - it would be good if there was a way to set the zoom or at least navigate to a known zoom. Otherwise it's basically impossible to compare the different modes what with it zooming in and out for you.

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cr%C3%A9cy#The_Frenc..., and of course take with the same grain of salt applied to anything on Wikipedia, I don't have the sources on hand to cross check):

The French army moved forward late in the afternoon, around
4pm after it had formed up. As it advanced, a sudden
rainstorm broke over the field of battle. The English
archers de-strung their bows to avoid the strings becoming
damaged; the Genoese with their crossbows could take no
such precautions, resulting in damage to their weapons.[26]
The crossbowmen began their advance, however they had left
their pavises back in the baggage train, and thus had no
means of protection as they loaded their weapons.[27][28]
The Genoese moved within range and discharged their
weapons. Damaged by the rain, the slackened crossbows had
little effect on the English line. The English archers shot
their bows in retaliation, inflicting heavy casualties on
the Genoese, causing them to retreat. The knights and
nobles following in Alençon's division, seeing the routed
mercenaries, hacked them down as they retreated. Froissart
writes of the event:

The English, who were drawn up in three divisions and
seated on the ground, on seeing their enemies advance,
arose boldly and fell into their ranks... You must know
that these kings, earls, barons, and lords of France did
not advance in any regular order... There were about
fifteen thousand Genoese crossbowmen; but they were quite
fatigued, having marched on foot that day six leagues,
completely armed, and with their wet crossbows. They told
the constable that they were not in a fit condition to do
any great things that day in battle. The Count of
Alençon, hearing this, was reported to say, "This is what
one gets by employing such scoundrels, who fail when
there is any need for them."[29]

So, it doesn't sound like the crossbows were in pristine condition. Rather, their range was limited by the fact that their strings had gotten wet, while the relatively simpler (and easier to string) longbows were able to be protected from the rainstorm.
I don't think there are any (modern) C++ compilers out there which follow the standard 100% and perfectly. ICBW.

The batteries are huge and expensive. You and the company would have to be comfortable swapping 5-10k dollar parts. You'd probably have to do that on a leasing model.

And you'd need something bigger than a gas station and way bigger than a charging station. And they would need to be everywhere to have value. Nobody wants to drive miles out of their way to swap.
I haven't read the paper, but I assume the novelty here is the discovery of what happens when more than two of the hairs are triggered. The BBC Life series with David Attenborough talked about the counting/triggering mechanism years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7eQKSf0LmY
I think the habit of getting in touch with nature begins as kids - playing with mud, getting enough sun, swimming/playing in ponds/lakes/rivers. That improves our immunity to a good extent. However these are good only in natural settings and not so good in the nature-pockets in urban areas.
lol. Crap i went off on a tangent! Answer to your question: I honestly don't know, but i suppose testing would be your best bet. Yeah and try crossfit, or calisthenics!
Amazon is not doing this for the benefit of homeless folks. They're in it for the cheap labor and tax breaks, which is fine except that the social safety net in the USA is full of holes.

No one negotiated to keep homeless shelters open so that the workers could actually DO nigh-shift work. No one counseled the workers on the financial implications of "seasonal work" and how small of a grain of salt to take when a company says the temp work "might" become permanent.

I don't blame Amazon, but I do think they were at least naive about the scope of the project and the chance for success given the circumstances of homeless people.

I know how inodes work, thank you. My first UNIX was Xenix.

Applications do crash when they make assumptions about those files.

For example, when they are composed by multiple parts and give the filename for further processing via IPC, or have another instance generating a new file with the same name, instead of appending, because the old one is now gone.

Another easy way to corrupt files is just to access them, without making use of flock, given its cooperative nature.

I surely prefer the OSes that lock files properly, even if it means more work.

A war by doctors, not businesses. I'd consider it "common knowledge" that salt raises blood pressure and that you should eat less salt if you have high blood pressure. My father and at least a couple other 50+ year old people I know try to limit their salt intake for health reasons.
You'll note Schwartz's quote sounds like any other corporate PR-speak when companies partner up and in no way constitutes the grant of a license. The thing then was that Sun still had hopes of getting Google to license Java without a lawsuit, simply because they couldn't afford one a they circled the drain. There are other accounts from people at Sun that corroborate that account. Nobody at Sun, including Schwartz, as incompetent as he was, liked what Google was doing.

Yeah, Google tried the "Schwartz said it's OK" defense during their trial, even putting him on the stand. Nobody bought it. That is the most telling thing of all.
Actually the descriptions of the battle I have seen do not mention archers.

Rather it looks like a militia on foot was able to defeat a cavalry-based army by choosing (and preparing) the battlefield. It seems that both armies used crossbows, and that actually the French did better with them.

Nice list. If I need to generate names for sample data I usually just use the Faker library.

When I'm writing database fixtures for use in tests, I like to manually choose names from movies/tv-shows for related entities.

For example for an Account with multiple Users I will pick Phil Dunphy for the owner role, Claire Dunphy for the admin role and Luke/Haley/Alex dunphy for regular user roles.
I don't think lead time is relevant here. Built to spec lead times are generally much longer for upmarket ICE cars.

I actually totally missed that one-liner at the top, which unless you follow this guy, would make it seem like he was promoting a pro-English view. So any of my comments regarding English I withdraw.

I still think his view about Chinese characters is _wrong_, especially when he uses the extremes of Chinese problems as arguments against Chinese completely.

[Full disclosure, I work on a service called Azure Search]

Very nice site! Since your site is so much based around search, I thought I would pass on a few suggestions based on what I saw. If you happen to be using a search based engine for your content such as ElasticSearch, SOLR or maybe Azure Search :-), there are a few simple things you could add to make the experience a little smoother. Suggestions in the search box are nice to allow people to quickly see results as they type. You could even add thumbnails of the images in the type ahead such as you see using the Twitter Typeahead library (http://twitter.github.io/typeahead.js/). I also noticed that your search does not handle spelling mistakes or phonetic search (matching words that sound similar). Finally, through the use of Stemming, search engines can often help you find additional relevant content. For example, if the person is looking for mice, but your content has the word mouse in it, this will bring back a match. Since you don't have a lot of content, this can really help people find relevant content.

Hope that helps.
Like the difference between crossbows and longbows, they were superior in some ways and inferior in others.

Since they were composite, they were dependent on glue and cord holding them together; they were somewhat more susceptible to weather. They were also more expensive to produce. However, as recurves they had better power with less stacking (force required to hold them at a full draw), and they were also shorter so could be used from horseback, a huge advantage for a nomadic people on the steppes.

Your point is well taken, however, that the paper is really only comparing a very limited portion of Europe over a fairly limited amount of time. It's an interesting analysis, but I don't think it has enough data or broad enough application to make it definitive.

I knew I couldn't be the only one. And using family members to illustrate different user roles is quite clever.
My experience is that the decrease during cold weather is more a function of the lowered performance of the battery than the result of the cabin heating. The battery draw at freeway speed is maybe 30kw. The baseline draw from the accessories in the vehicle ( radio, console ) and no heating/cooling/defroster is around 0.5kw. With the heat cranked up all the way and all the various heaters turned up to high the additional draw above baseline is 2-2.5kw.
LOL yes.
My friends told me that some of the other block regulars were planning to rob me. So I backed off from them for a little bit. And now I hang out with them again, just not inside my home. If this was in a poor white neighborhood I don't imagine similar things wouldn't happen there either.

Maybe the wording was a bit over the top for what the situation actually was: I enjoy hanging out with my neighbors, and wasn't going to let some stupid shit like this mess that up.

Sorry that I explained where the word jux comes from in my vocabulary.

Edit: And in this world - [0] - You're damn straight I'm proud to have such a multicultural group of friends, and experiences. And even though this post indicates otherwise, I don't particularly give two shits how anyone misconstrues my post which essentially was trying to say "We should come together, hang out with eachother, and understand and forgive". Because, apparently I'm assuming superiority by continuing to hang out with people after I heard they where going to take shit from my house. All I can say is, fuck that. And then I made a joke at the end about this stupid nickname they gave me once. Good lord.

I read about a study that was using parasitic worms to cure autoimmune diseases. I'm guessing you're referring to a different one? Preliminary results for that study were promising though I didn't check back.
But, if the problem I'd that the immune system learned the wrong thing, then you can't fix it with whipworw, it's too late. Kinda like somebody learning a second language late in life.

The only to test a theory would be to use infants twin, raise half of them in clean conditions and expose the other half to all kind of bacteria, etc...

So in his case getting dirty was the solution.
To be honest, I'm not seeing your pointing this out as relevant. I never claimed Rust should have a spec at this point in its life, or claimed any other language had a spec at an equivalent point in its life, and I explicitly disclaimed any criticism. I objected only to the statement that Rust is "just as finalized as any other language". Talking about other languages' youth and whether being specified early is a good thing is especially disingenuous, since the topic of the thread was whether Rust was a good candidate to use now, compared against other languages as they exist now, not making some kind of "fair" comparison against their early versions.
> You'd be hard pressed to convince me that Windows model for locking files is superior to what Unix offers,

This model is not unique to Windows, rather most non POSIX OSes.

I happen to know a bit of UNIX (Xenix, DG/UX, HP-UX, Aix, Tru64, GNU/Linux, *BSD).

Yes, it is all flowers and puppies when a process deals directly with a file. Then the only thing to be sorry is the lost data.

Now replace the contents file being worked on or delete it, in the context of a multi-process application, that passes the name around via IPC.

Another nice one are data races by not making use of flock() and just open a file for writing, UNIX locking is cooperative.

If this was in a poor white neighborhood I'd expect similar shit to happen.

It's much more an issue of socioeconomic status than race. And I'm sorry you perceived my post in that matter.

They're predominantly Spanish speaking Puerto Ricans. You're the only one who mentioned anything about race when it comes to that instance and your own presumptions don't hold true.

And I never said I was "the only rich white guy in a gentrified neighborhood". That wouldn't make any sense, one person doesn't gentrify a neighborhood. I said I was one of the only gentrifying members who has made an attempt to become a part of the existing community. This is consistent with every place I live, work, and play whether said place is predominantly minority, or predominantly white.

Every person has decades (except children) of experiences that I don't have. Every person is an extremely rich fabric comprised of characteristics inherited from an extremely complex ecosystem of factors. As such, I try to treat everyone with respect, and it ends up enriching my own world.

That being said, sometimes I still don't know exactly what to say. I come from a world of privilege even if my parents were lower to middle middle class, and they certainly don't.

Crime is more predominant in lower socioeconomic groups, it's just a reality. Did I blame every latino in my neighborhood? Did I scorn, run to the police, move away? No. I just backed off for a little and then came back after the holidays and kept going about my business.

You can perceive that however you like.

Edit: And what exactly was this racist thing I said? Was it when I heard that a couple of people were going to take things from my house and so backed off for a little? To mention a legitimate event that happened to me is now considered racist?

Edit 2: And in this world - [0] - You're damn straight I'm proud to have such a multicultural group of friends, and experiences.
