Well yes, that's the point! It would have never been the replacement for git because it's the same paradigm.

No, it really isn't the point. How can hg "replace" git, when they were be developed at roughly the same time for roughly the same purpose (replace bitkeeper, provide a DCS for open source work), with roughly the same model.

Git didn't come up with the paradigm, and neither did hg.

git and hg were direct competitors, not different generations of revision control like the list given.

This paragraph is rather inconsistent. The first sentence talks about the issue being one disorder rather than another, then supports that with a study finding that both are components.

It seems like a lot of people use that study as an argument for ignoring the part they're not interested in, rather than concluding that both components should be treated.

Man, I had no idea my mother had any other children besides me.
It's currently £5 inc. delivery on Amazon.co.uk. This puts it into Raspberry Pi Zero and NodeMCU/ESP8266 territory.

Add to the fact that internally it's not very different to the venerable TP-Link WR-703N and it's possibly a great OpenWRT device to tinker with.

I've used Gearbest in the past. They're ok to order from generally, but their unsubscribe mailing list email link doesn't work and I had trouble ordering from them initially due to delivery address issues at my end.

I managed to get my mother to use a password manager. I did my due diligence in explaining the security aspects, as far as "well if someone gets your Facebook password, how likely is that to be your Gmail password" , but mostly had to frame it as a convenience feature of being able to use all these complicated passwords without having to remember any of them.
While kids may find arithmetic to be boring and demotivating, they're able to do it. It's when math gets symbolic that you get the permanent attrition. For instance, most people never get to calculus.

When you progress from arithmetic to abstract, it hardly gets easier.

Moreover, memorizing. You go from memorizing multiplication tables to other kinds of tables, like tables of equations giving various identities, rows of coefficients in series, and the like. Contents of various kinds of matrices.

The need to be precise and avoid mistakes never goes away. Manipulating a complex math equation is still a form of arithmetic. And it's harder because the underlying semantics means that something which is mechanically correct at the syntax level (easy to check) could actually be meaningless and wrong.

The simplistic notations used in math don't "keep up" with the increasing complexity of what is going on. They just get harder semantics. Notation which looks like multiplication or addition in such and such domain is just "sort of" like it, but, oh, here are the ways in which it isn't.
I'm not familiar with this particular case, but there are people who get completely lost in the Rikers island prison system.

This actually almost happened to me, though not at Rikers island: I was arrested under a false accusation of a crime I didn't commit, and while I was supposed to have been released after an hour, there was some mess up where they thought I'd already been released and so kept me in there for around an extra 12 hours. It only even got fixed that fast because my lawyer made a huge deal out of it.

Now imagine the same thing happening, but without a good advocate on your side, in a much larger prison, and ongoing for years or decades instead of just half a day.
Both this and the still to be delivered "Black-Swift" are minimal single board computers using the AR9331. It should be similar to the Black-Swift's power specs,

"Power consumption: 120 mA typical (400 MHz CPU frequency, Wi-Fi enabled), 60 mA in energy-saving mode (200 MHz, Wi-Fi disabled), 300 mA max"

This is at 5v so ~1.5w max. If you wanted to use even moderate power USB2 peripherals instead of the SD card reader you'd have to inject external 5v power.

Conserving endangered monuments with 3D imaging and laser scanning
I've been using Go professionally since 0.8 and in production since 1.0; this is correct.

Since day one we have forked every (external) package dependency in production code to our own github account and for all the constant complaining I hear, it has been very little heartache for us.

This has worked great, we periodically update our forks from upstream, once or twice a year need to fixup our code to match, run our unit tests an integration tests, do a little manual testing and call it good.
Pre-euro Australia was more like Europe with different tribes/nations that shared common characteristics yet still had their own languages and cultures.

Compare and contrast the difference in sophistication between the Romans and the gauls or germanic tribes around 200AD, they would seem totally different worlds. It could have been similar in Aus.

Other indigenous Australian groups invented the boomerang - first ever practical use of aerofoil technology - precursor of modern flight and the woomera which launches a spear around 700-800m with accuracy.

From what I remember their art was somewhat codified so it could almost be "read", this would make it easier to share information across time and place.

If you have groups on two ends of the continent sharing very similar stories, then at least you'd have to allow the reasonable possibility it's more than just random noise.
The level of jingoism and lack of nuance and long term perspective in here is worrying.
Mathematics is hard to learn because the way classes and performance testing is done, there is often only one answer and until you get to the answer the question is not complete. the end state is binary - either the student was successful in it, or the student was not.

On the other hand, in a subject like history a student can make good ground towards an answer by laying down fundamental facts and then arguing and reasoning back and forth. Even with minimal facts the student may use some approximate recollection of events and still be able to build an argument. The answer may not be complete, and it may not even be good, but the final outcome has the appearance of being complete, and is often somewhat far from the starting point of nothing.

Humanities subjects use assessments that provide intermediate rewards for a student. Mathematics offer no such respite. That is what I believe makes it intimidating. Even worse, some questions have intermediate solutions look extremely hairy, leading the student to believe that he has gone further away from the solution. In such cases, the intermediate step has punished rather than reward!

Very often suggestions for improving mathematics pedagogy is to make use of "open-ended" questions that admit multiple solutions (as Marvin did here). I believe most of us who make these suggestions understand the effect that traditional maths questions have on a learner. These suggested questions are just like those in history or literature that allow students to have a decent go at it and still make progress.

I don't know if I truly believe in the theory (hypothesis) that memorization makes it extremely boring. Until historical accounts are utilized in some argument (during a performance assessment), these are just empty facts to be memorized. And given the wide range of questions that can be asked in a history exam, the effort involved in memory work in history class seem to be more onerous and less rewarding. Yet I have seen students who are gifted in remembering in detail historical events, capable of building logical structures and narrative flow, and they struggle with maths. So clearly they must have committed a decent amount of effort to memorization - but not in maths but other subjects instead.

In any case, at the higher levels, rote work in mathematics is extremely important: it is very difficult to pursue an advanced class in probability theory without the basic tools picked up in real analysis, for example (that means all your theorems relating to sequences and continuity and functional analysis and so on). That usually involves some amount of "practice", thinking and solving problem sets before moving on to more advanced topics.

Sintered metal bushings soaked with oil. Chrysler invented them around 1930. Trademarked name is "oilite". A very popular product for many decades, probably some in your car or house today. It really blows some peoples minds when what looks like a block of solid bronze soaks up to maybe a fifth its volume of oil. For something thats 20% hollow its also remarkably strong.

Its an example of a piece of technology that depends on numerous contemporary things. You need razor sharp cutting tools to keep the pores open, so it has to be a "post-carbide" era tool. You need a vacuum pump to fill the pores with oil. You need modern non-drying low acidity mineral oils because something like veg oil or whale oil would break down both the bearing and the shaft in a couple years. The powder is heated precisely and under some pressure, a lot more precise than a blacksmiths shop.

Speaking of pressure, reproducible and reliable sintering seems to always require some amount of pressure, which is a problem for 3-d printing, either you're using somewhat exotic process, or the product needed pressure so it is going to be weak.

It's a very painful process to get set up - no doubt it's easy after the first time. I've ultimately found it easier to go via bintray: http://blog.bintray.com/2014/02/11/bintray-as-pain-free-gate... .

On the positive side, some of the complexity comes through enforcing some standards about what packages go into central - in particular you must have a properly declared license, developer contact information, and GPG sign your releases. Which are things other language ecosystems would do well to enforce.
At some point other factors like ease of contract enforcement, infrastructure, etc. become more important than shaving off a few more percents from the taxes. So in the end it boils down to which government is able to provide better services for your buck which is how it should be.

If only physical persons could relocate to a better place with the same ease corporations do now the governments would suck so much less.
I don't know about papers, but I've read writeups from companies adding a "delay", usually with a progress bar, for things that are actually near-instant to perform. For "large" seeming operations, sometimes users assume an instant response actually means a failure.

DigitalOcean's Create Droplet flow comes to mind. You get a progress bar indicating your droplet is being created, but in just a few seconds you can click "My Droplets" and go use it immediately.

Keep in mind, their headquarters is located in Ireland but they can still do operations in the United States. This is a strategic move to avoid U.S. taxes on profits made outside the country. The United States is one of the only countries in the world that taxes outside its boarders. They will save on foreign profits, but they will still pay taxes on their U.S. income... I find it ironic that our politicians promise jobs, but aren't willing to reduce taxes and regulation on businesses. Then, they get upset when businesses want to leave. What's their solution to fix this? "tax them more for trying to leave" -__-
Private prisons are more a symptom then a cause of high incarceration rates. States began using them in response to prison over-population - and the percentage of inmates in private prisons is relatively low (single digits IIRC).

edit: to be clear I am against privatization of prisons because I think the incentives are woefully misaligned, but wanted to point out it's inaccurate to suggest they're the cause of our high incarceration rate

I agree - I think this is a great idea and really cool to see. However, when I first went to the site, there was something off putting about it which I couldn't put my finger on. Thinking about it, I think it's the amount of eye movement required to scan the links. With HN, on a wide screen, scanning the stories to find ones I want to read only requires a limited amount of movement, mostly downward, whereas with the grid, I have to scan across the entire screen and after doing so, completing one row, I've only scanned the titles of four stories...

Nonetheless, I like the innovative idea. Thanks for sharing!

Because JIT compilers are able to bend the rules if proven correct.

For example, if you declare something like

final class Point {
final int x, y;

//...
}

The Azul JIT compiler will transform it into a struct, just like in C, via their "StructuredArray and ObjectLayout" optimizations.

IBM J9 also does similar optimizations via packed objects, as they call it.

JIT compilers also remove locks and synchronized blocks if heuristics prove their are never needed in the dataflow.

In any case, by Java 10, real value types are expected to be part of the language.

My company currently pays for GitHub hosting for unlimited private repos and X contributors.

Doesn't the fact that GitHub makes the enterprise pay for usage make it more likely that GitHub will be around longer than Google Code?

Honestly, if GitHub can stick around for another 10-15 years that would be ideal. By that time I should either be out of the industry or off to another company that uses something other than GitHub.
You just made me remember a scifi story I read probably 10-15 years ago that I really wish I could recall the name of, as I'd love to read it again. In the story a man is awakened from an especially long cryogenic sleep, and his brain was implanted into a new body since the old one was no longer viable. In addition, he was given a brain implant with a screen in his eye that could be activated by a couple of quick blinks. At first he has the mind of a child, but slowly regains his faculties over many weeks or months, with the aid of the implant.
There is (of course) a Tumblr site for sites that do this[0]

I found a bunch of local websites including utilities and email providers that do this[1] and seem completely unaware of the risk. Emailing them to explain the problem didn't help much as the vast majority simply ignored me.

Private prisons are largely a red herring. They account for some 8.4% of the prison population. [1] Many of the horror stories coming from them are simply from the fact that state corrections agencies willfully loosen their standards when contracting with private prison operators.

I am trying to integrate rollApp (https://www.rollapp.com/), Microsoft Office online and Yandex document viewer into it. rollApp supports literally hundreds of file formats. The only problem I have is keeping the interface less complex. For that I am now working on a API wrapper interface separated from the extension to keep the extension's settings simple. It may take a couple of months before I roll it out though.

A huge open market that allows foreign companies to operate in and pay taxes (just not on worldwide income).
Abstract:

Fewer women than men become executive managers. They earn less, hold more
junior positions, and attrit faster. We compiled a large panel data set on executives
and formed a career hierarchy to analyze promotion and compensation rates. Given
executive rank and background, women are paid more than men, experience less income
uncertainty, and are promoted as quickly. Amongst survivors, being female increases
the chance of becoming CEO. Hence the gender pay gap and job rank differences are
primarily attributable to female executives attriting at higher rates than males in an
occupation where survival is rewarded with promotion and higher compensation.

And I think the word you want is exponential, not logarithmic. Related to each other, since exponential expressions become linear on a logarithmic scale, but exponential describes the growth of 2^n better.

I see some good points and bad points in this article. I applaud the president for looking into an issue that is traditionally ignored by leaders in the US- the effects of our prison system on the population. I wish he hadnt stopped at solitary confinement. Our entire prison system and matrix of crime->sentencing needs to have a complete overhaul to remove the drug bias on sentences. Repeat violent offenders need to be kept off the streets. Drug users need help, not incarceration.

I also wish he hadn't taken credit for reducing crime. I think that this has almost nothing to do with the president. Its very easy to cherry pick the statistics you like and claim responsibility. Would he also like to take responsibility for the continuing/increase in violence against citizens by the police? The violations of civil liberties? Anyway, I hope that this starts building momentum that we need to change our prison system. I think some of the policing issues will start to work themselves out as different socio economic groups see that cops aren't there to harass and arrest, and that drug users may be able to get help.
Disagree. Kids disengage from math for many different reasons. There is no single pattern to it. If it were that simple, it would not have remained an issue since schools were commonplace.

Minsky solidly makes the point that when math is taught as nothing more than an endless series of tedious drills with no purpose in sight, of course it demotivates kids. No one likes pointless Sisyphean tasks.

Many students, however, "rediscover" math when they get to their first class that involves theorems and proofs (often in high-school geometry) and when it starts being used in science coursework. It is then that they realize that math is a way of thinking and this can transform their opinion and motivation for math.

The best teachers find ways to relate mathematics to real life and real purpose. Yeah, it is always going to be challenging, but having a purpose creates motivation to get through the tedium.
