It would be bad enough if you were, say, provided a laptop to use for work, but I'm guessing they want you to install that on your personal machines too, no? Unconscionable.

Somewhat off topic, but switzerland is ludicrously expensive. I recently visited for a week in Zurich/Bern and the best way to describe the prices is like you are permanently stuck in a theme park or airport. Starbuck Coffee? $7. Can of soda at a convenience store? $3. Any fine dining for two? $300-400

I asked one of the taxi drivers what a cashier makes and he said $80k. With prices that high, It almost feels like a house of cards. I dont understand why exchange rates dont drastically bring these prices into alignment. Seems like importing goods from other countries would completely destroy this ecosystem.
> You couldn't do that in an expression, as it wouldn't type check without a value for the None case.

Of course you could. If there is no `else` (which there can be, fwiw, just as the else case is optional in a regular if/else expression), the value of the None case is Unit: http://is.gd/Zdgc3D
Do you a think a user should have to write:

http://www.apple.com:80/

or:

http://www.apple.com/

Ever since the first web browsers, way back in the early 1990s, it has been commonplace to leave out the port number. The web browser adds it automatically.

Similar logic would lead us to leave off the "http". And similar logic would lead us to leave off the "www". The trend has been to simplify the URL as much as possible.
Well, I think the argument is to increase the number of people who do use IRC - I'd say that Slack has proved people want features like that. If existing IRC users don't want to use the features, they don't have to.
Top Replicated Findings from Behavioral Genetics
20A outlets are all over the place these days. I'd say they're more common than 15A in commercial settings, and they're not uncommon in houses either. My relatively new house has 20A outlets for all the GFI outlets, but 15A for the rest. Not sure why.

Note that circuit and plug capacity is always listed for non-continuous. That typical 20A wall circuit is only rated for 16A continuous, ditto the 20A outlets, and the standard 15A outlets are only good for 12A continuous.

I don't think kettles, hair dryers, or irons count as continuous draws, so this doesn't really matter unless you're plugging in your clothes dryer, oven, or car.
Maybe you'll become the next Atlassian but self hosted closed source is both better and worse than hosted closed source. Better because we have the data and worse because we don't know what runs on our server. Data security is the same.

It's not clear if the limit of 3 users apply to the self hosted server. Maybe you should clarify this point on your site.
Polls, as well as the results of similar initiatives (eg minimum wages). Would need a massive shift to see it pass imo (especially since the small rural cantons have a disproportionate weight and they don't tend to vote in favor of those issues).
Any idea how HTTPS manages to have a significantly higher throughput? At first blush this doesn't quite pass the sniff test - it looks like there's another factor in play here.
> I hope one day basic psychological check ups for children become as routine as a dentist visits.

Agreed. Everyone should have a mental health professional. I think a huge step to reduce the stigma would be for a US president to mention his own therapist, similar to how Bush mentioned his colonoscopy. This needs to be brought out into the open.
But must an explanation always be a functional one? This seems extremely limited and limiting. Certainly the shape of the body, like every complex system, has some contingent or incidental characteristics to it (e.g. five fingers, various eye colors, etc.). It also stands to reason that every animal would have some unique manifestations of its differentiation from all others; it would obviously be a fallacy to consider such differentiating traits as necessarily important in and of themselves.
I think that it is a bit of both. I understand that there are stuff that you can learn "better" in school. But I also think that this degree could open a different "security oriented" jobs that I wouldn't have the qualifications for otherwise.

I see myself working for a big company for a while (learning the trade).

After that, maybe in 5 to 10 years I'd leave for a smaller thing where I could have more impact.

I don't have that assumption; plenty of people share the values of their surrounding culture. My point is that parents have a direct and specific interest in caring about their specific kids, but the strong powerful influencers out there (advertisers, media, propagandists, politicians) do not.

Children are more likely to be perceived as an end in themselves to their own parents, and as simply a means to an end by these other entities.

Also: everyone talking about raising their kids with the ideals of critical thinking and of picking their own values: that's still a value that's apparently important enough for you to instill in your child that you went to great lengths to instill it. Something tells me you wouldn't be happy with them embracing an opposing value, like, say, blind adherence to authority figures, and believing everything they read, and letting other people browbeat them and tell them what to do with their lives.
So the basic idea is : A year in a company is better than a year in school?

But you're probably right, I can hardly remember my last vacation, a few months off sound like a good idea either way.

I have a story similar to the parent poster's. While I fully agree with you, based on my own experiences, it also saved my life. So you know, you win some, you lose some.
The article mentions that hypothesis:

> Others have suggested that the chin is an adaptation for chinwags: It resists the forces we create when speaking. After all, speech is certainly a feature that separates us from other living animals. But there's no good evidence that the tongue exerts substantial enough forces to warrant a thick chunk of reinforcing bone. “And any mammal that also communicates vocally or suckles or engages in complex feeding behaviors that involve the tongue are probably experiencing similar stresses and strains, and they're not getting chins,” says Pampush.

Nor should we think that extra structure for complex sounds are needed for a language or comprehensibility. Consider the Silbo Gomero Language, which is "a whistled form of a dialect of Spanish." It "has only 2 vowels and 4 consonants, according to the official nomination document submitted during the UNESCO convention." (Quotes from Wikipedia.)

Verbalized Morse code is another example of how simple vocalizations are all that are needed for a comprehensible language.
CMake do provide a UI of sorts for exploring the various options. You have to run cmake . once first to get the defaults generated, and then you can use ccmake . to get a UI.

I find its insistence on all caps everywhere to be a bit of a annoyance though. But it guess it inherits that from make.

Congrats on getting married! Care to share the plugin?

From Jan 1 to today we tuned our site and put in a lot of grunt work to grow daily organic traffic by 2x, daily uniques on the site by 3x, and average session time by about 20%. Also launched a few really interesting feature experiments that I can't share yet but we're hoping will end up making buying a home significantly less expensive. This week I've been learning about WKWebViews [0] and using them to retool our iOS app detail views to have feature parity with our web app. Work is still fun!

But the article says it is "shitty" and that "most hate it". I think it might be due to:

[1] There are issues in all software (bugs, lacking your pet feature, etc), and people like to complain.

[2] The article's author has developed a product in the same space (although it seems to be more of a restaurant website template, rather than a reservation system), so there might be some jealousy there.
But seems like this would be fundamentally incompatible with the normal IRC clients that most people currently use.

Unfortunatelly the trade is full magpie developers.

I'm not writing login code personally but this sounds like something fundamentally broken in the web and asking devs to fix it case by case is a complete copout. If a browser can detect this shit, why can't it fucking proxy it or do something clever to mitigate it automatically instead of putting up stupid hyroglyphs and expecting to shame developers into duplicating a bunch of work case by case and thereby probably getting it wrong in many cases? .. like.. ff detects insecure login form.. Browser DON'T FUCKING SEND CLEARTEXT PASSWORD (instead sending some encrypted bs to firefox grand central station, where it is securely forwarded through a secure backchannel? Maybe it has to talk to the isp directly who has to inject the password back into your process, and they charge u extra tax for securing your shit.. and then.. gasp.. problem solved and not every aspiring developer needs to become a cryptographer.

Passwords are stupid. The internet is broken. My Spyware infested machine and browser knows all my passwords anyway.

Note to any techies reading this.. fix this problem. Here is your killer app. Disrupt this shit.
Some friends with camper vans were recently discussing whether to get 240v for their respective vans. The guy at the garage wasn't recommending it because of a lack of a 'use case'.

I would like to see the UK ring main revisited to provide a useful USB power ring main where devices can negotiate current demands, e.g. to power a laptop without dropping the voltage for anything else plugged in to the 5v DC. How would a modern day government set a standard for that?
Probably capitalism will collapse (hopefully). Society is strong and resilient, and will likely be just fine. The real question is whether there will be a way to issue in the next iteration of societal order, or if it will regress when the capitalist empires of the world are destroyed.
I realize that it was discussed in the piece and never claimed it wasn't. My claim is only that the argument is more likely than the other arguments (with supporting bits about teeth added in).

As someone who struggled with a lot of mental illness growing up, and had many friends who did as well, I disagree with your interpretation of this phrase.

I've frequently said to some of my friends who are caught in a vicious cycle of depression or dependence: You can't help someone who doesn't want help.

Mental illness finds mental illness. Especially with kids. This is good and bad. It helps you to find support, but it also encourages a vicious cycle where each person is enabling each other. Tumblr is a great example of this. But when one person is trying so desperately to help someone in a bad spot, that refuses help, there's nothing you can do. And beating your head against a brick wall has never helped anyone.

Addiction has long been known to work the same way: You can't stop an addict from getting drugs, you can only try to help them stay clean when they make the choice to.
You are right - no, it doesn't. The article mentions Gould and Lewontin's 'spandrel' theory as one a framework to understand non-functional explanation, then presents a spandrel explanation for the chin.

You might be interested in reading their original paper, "The Spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian Paradigm: A Critique of the Adaptationist Programme", available from http://faculty.washington.edu/lynnhank/GouldLewontin.pdf .
Hang on - over-testing and over-treatment is a risk of any medicine, and that's true even if there's no meds involved, only talking therapies.

I do strongly agree with you that we need to reduce stigma I'm helping my local "health community" (Public Health (part of county council) Clinical Commissioning Group (part of the NHS, who buy services) and my local MH trust) to tackle stigma.

Voltage dictates size, just not during normal operation. [Don't do this] Turn on a toaster and turn off the lights. Then yank out the toaster's plug, fast, [Don't do this] as if you tripped over the cord. [Don't do this] You'll see a blue flash, two arcs from the plug to the outlet, possibly merging into a single arc between terminals. The last thing anyone needs is such an arc sustaining for more than a nanosecond, or across terminals in the outlet. Higher voltage plugs need larger distances between metal parts to prevent sustained arcs.

This why if you smell gas you shouldn't ever unplug anything.
Nobody is suggesting the user should be forced to type in the protocol, the subdomain, or the port number. If the user types in:

apple.com

It should lead to where the user wants to go.

However, there are good reasons for using the www subdomain as the canonical URL, and it is also worth noting that some users will habitually type in www anyway.

If you don't want to include the subdomain in marketing material, then there's nothing stopping you from leaving it out, just as there's nothing stopping you from leaving out the protocol.
"The Apple II Plus, introduced in June 1979, included the Applesoft BASIC programming language in ROM. This Microsoft-authored dialect of BASIC, which was previously available as an upgrade, supported floating-point arithmetic, and became the standard BASIC dialect on the Apple II series (though it ran at a noticeably slower speed than Steve Wozniak's Integer BASIC)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II_series
I don't think this particular comment gets enough coverage

"With enough effort, you can automate every job out of existence."

The example I've used has been self scanning checkout lines at grocery stores. They replace 16 cashiers at $10/hr with one "supervisor" at $16/hr. The additional margin goes to the grocer. If instead the productivity went to a basic income program then, the price of groceries would be the same, the grocer's income would be the same, but now there would be money "appearing out of thin air" for a basic income program. But what is really happening is that you've automated a human job, captured all that GDP in the process.

If you think about it that way, it changes how you see automation, and productivity gains.
I tried Rust with Iron as the article mentions but JSON parsing and writing wacky match expressions turned me off to Rust early on.
Interesting to learn that programming is being taught to writers. Perhaps it's a poor analogy, but the term Singer/Songwriter comes to mind when I imagine such a hybrid. Either one of the two component skills could earn a living; but the two together have greater potential for producing works of significance. Also, it reminds me of Scott Adams career advice[0], where he suggests being "good" at more than one thing.

I don't think it's Swiss manufacturing (high value add, high skill) which is the problem -- it's services. And a lot of that isn't exposed to import substitution.

It absolutely does make sense to import high-end high value add products which reduce labor, if you're in an artificially high labor cost environment.
That's assuming there isn't a loss of value in being forced to liquidate $6T in holdings, which there certainly would be. For every seller there has to be a buyer and most eligible buyers would be having their assets seized by the government.
The juicy bit:

"That being said, perhaps the most troubling finding in our security analysis is that Intel included a licensing mechanism in SGX that prevents software developers who cannot or will not enter a (yet unspecified) busi- ness agreement with Intel from authoring software that takes advantage of SGX’s protections. All the official documentation carefully sidesteps this issue, and has a minimal amount of hints that lead to the Intel’s patents on SGX. Only these patents disclose the existence of licensing plans."

From the article:

Should I redirect no-www to www?

Yes.

Redirection ensures that visitors who type in your URL reach you regardless of which form they use, and also ensures that search engines index your canonical URLs properly.

So I don't think you're advocating anything they don't.
That should be "don't enforce on your children any values".
I mean to criticize virulently demanding that one's children follow a predetermined set of values because their parents hold them to be true, especially when those values are mostly cultural assumptions.
Both. The voting material everyone gets includes a booklet which informs about the proposed changes and where statements by opposing and approving parties are to be found (this is prepared by the Federal Chancellery as far as I know). This includes a recommandation on each proposal by the respective governement and parlament (respective, because it depends on which organisational level the vote happens, national, cantonal or communal). Which way the recommandation goes is decided by a vote in parliament and the numbers (how many against/in favour) is printed too.

Before that, there is the usual lobbying by different political parties and it depends on the perceived gravitiy of the changes how much you see. There are billboards, discussions in radio, TV and newspapers. Sometimes there are also other groups coming into the public light as happening now eg. with law professors campaigning against the 'Durchsetzungsinitiative' (the discussion about that one is getting more and more heated).
We just finished an independent survey of 5 consumer level machines with a bunch of different materials, looking at both 10-500nm particulate and HCN emissions. Essentially, even with ABS, if you're in a decently well ventilated area, you're fine, and if you're still worried, PLA or TPU drastically reduce particulate.

I'd really love to share the paper right now, but it's someone else's masters thesis that hasn't been released yet. If anyone is interested in it and can remember, ping me in a few months?
I think it's been too long. I don't even have the exact code anymore.

One of my faves was a GA that evolved circuits on FPGAs that would evolve wonderful, sometimes almost magical results... that only worked on the exact FPGA the evolver used to test phenotypes. Apparently it ultra-fitted to exact little quirks of that particular physical piece of silicon. They were never able to figure out exactly what those quirks were. It was a total mystery and the circuits were bizarre. The solution was to use a big pool of different FPGAs and mix them randomly.

I also heard once of a case where the use of a poor random function was problematic. Evidently Mr. Darwin is able to reverse engineer the simple three or four line K&R rand() function. After that I started actually using cryptographic PRNGs.

We came up with the term "herding shoggoths" for trying to get evolutionary systems to evolve the right thing.

I wish, but it's unfortunately not my call to make. A few other companies have done this, eg. Microsoft open-sourcing Altair Basic about 30 years after it came out or id open-sourcing DOOM.

"unlikey to be" is not "isn't". The counter to each of those items in the article is one researcher saying "yeah... I don't really think so", not something that's set in stone.
So far, you have gone deeper than what I wrote to correctly guess what I intended. Thanks.
I may reword my post to be more context specific. Or, maybe, I'll make a new article explaining my stance in the context I intend.
The fix was to (1) take steps to make sure the image was entirely pre-loaded into RAM before the test was given, and (2) randomize the latency of the load. That worked and I actually got some real results, which unfortunately were decent but not as impressive as the cheating was. :) When it cheated the thing got 100% right of course.

I also learned that rapid convergence on incredible accuracy is suspect.

This can't be repeated enough.

When politicians start talking about taxing the rich more, they are really talking about the upper-middle class in the US. Otherwise there just isn't enough money higher up the income ladder to make it work.

I remember the NDP in Canada being asked who the rich were (back in a 1990's election). The said a family of 4 making more than $60,000 per year.

I have to give them credit for being honest.
