So should we also be avoiding rooms where people are cooking?
It's unfortunate that the ecosystem is such a strong point for so many people.

Sure I might need 250mb of RAM for a Rails app but there's 10+ years of real life thought and care put into the framework and about the same in external gems/blog posts/etc..

I'm ok with spending $5/month on an instance to serve a Rails app for 95% of use cases and I'm a load balancer away from multiplying my throughput if I need to scale out.

If I could snap my fingers and have the same ecosystem in Rust I would switch instantly but it's not the world we live in.

I'm not sure if even 5 years will be enough because Go 1.0 has been out almost 4 years and it's still not even in the same galaxy as Rails in terms of ecosystem.

Agree with everything in the article, but one downside: it really, really hurts to step on one. US plugs can't really ever end up with the prongs facing upwards when unplugged, whereas UK plugs are extremely likely to.
I feel this has something to do with with the way the brain processes the images from both eyes filtering out overlap/differing perspective from each eye to make a single image.

Why wouldn't these Univ. resources be owned by the people?

Check the title of UniversityOfCalifornia.edu:

>University of California | The only world-class public research university for, by and of California.

The University is established by the California constitution.

Article 9. Section. 9. (a) The University of California shall constitute a public
trust, to be administered by the existing corporation known as "The
Regents of the University of California," with full powers of
organization and government, subject only to such legislative control
as may be necessary to insure the security of its funds and
compliance with the terms of the endowments of the university and
such competitive bidding procedures as may be made applicable to the
university by statute for the letting of construction contracts,
sales of real property, and purchasing of materials, goods, and
services.

To be perfectly blunt: too bad. At the rate automation is occurring, either a basic wage becomes a thing, or society is going to collapse. Our populations cannot shrink enough to make up the gap between jobs taken by automation and new jobs created in other market segments.

It's important because it means that capital is not being allocated optimally.

From an individual point of view, sure, you really can't control stuff like that, and you're better off concentrating on making your own stuff better.

But that's not the conversation here. This discussion is about the whole system, and particularly the statement that "this is how innovation works."
Nice project!
So far some things that would improve it (for me personally):

* show a shadow under the card when dragging that snaps to the list, this means I can accurately see where the card is dropped because sometimes it doesn't go where I want it.

* making a list would be nicer if it didn't have to refresh the page

* also there are some glitches with moving the cards where it indents them or overlaps them, it's hard to explain (I appreciate that this is beta though so you are probably aware of this)

But that's my 2 pence, I'll definitely consider using this once it's more polished on my server :)
Aside from the fact that ring mains should probably be eliminated, and it's hard to trust cheap appliances to have properly safety-rated fuses in the plugs today, I don't see what else has changed.

Time Peters wrote Timsort for python https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

I think quite a few languages adopted it as their default sort.
First they need to explain what Watson is to business and the like. Their use cases are never clear apart from giving out big saving numbers and improvements.

Then they need some more transparency on what Watson can really do; papers seldom talk about the data, the training sets or even provide sample questions and answers - there are some sample applications which very rarerly do something actually impressive on the corpus domain.
I'm using all the defaults, as provided by LibTLS, so I'm not sure. I'll have a poke round and tell you later.

The TLS support is not deployed to the internet so posting a URL wouldn't be very helpful.

I think for those programming complex systems in business and industry, the biggest problem remains how to represent concepts in code.

Even the simplest problem, like a Purchaser placing a Purchase Order for a Product from a Supplier can't be easily modeled and programmed by the majority of software developers - with any sort of predictability based on prior art or their own experience.

At best, we approach a problem with a combination of modular procedural code (modularity via subroutines)(from the 1950's) and structured programming with functional decomposition (from the 1960's).

There is no shortage of technical prowess, but a warehouse system is not based on design patterns, libraries, frameworks, or technologies. Instead, it is based on people, places, things and transactions interacting together to solve a problem.

How to represent real-world concepts and systems (real or abstract) into code, remains the challenge it always has been. We just don't seem to learn any lessons from the past.
Sorry. It's just too big. Electrocutions and fires from plugs are not widespread in the US/Canada. The UK plug is a solution for a dead problem. There is no practical need to continue with plugs bigger than many of the devices they power.

If you don't give your kids an ethical framework, then the TV, their teachers, or their peers will. Unique people tend to not conform to standards? Not shocking at all, but this article is ridiculous. It's not the lawyer's job to rewrite how the criminal justice system works. It's not the doctor's job to reform healthcare laws. This is some anachronistic thinking that somehow thinks that people exist in vacuums. If the "cost" of parents bothering to actually raise their kids is that we're given more people who competently perform their jobs, then so be it. That's more important than getting some new style of architecture anyways.

All 8 of those Nobel Prizes were won by individuals who were finalists in 1968 or earlier. So for half of the years in that date range, not a single finalist has been awarded a Nobel Prize. Since 3 of those Nobel Prizes have been in the last 15 years, it is likely too early to tell what the final percentage of Nobel Laureates is among those 2000 finalists.

This "loss" and "all" talk is too binary. The real world is all analog spectrum.

Aside from "lose", there are also cultural outlook problems WRT what "knowing" means, not to mention what "power" is. And then there's topics of "education" and "wisdom"...

For example, although this sounds like a joke, its actually serious: Consider a population 200 years ago the same size as HN this afternoon trying to build a barn, a classic barn raising party. Now consider the population of HN, today, starting five minutes from now, trying to host a barn raising party presumably via twitter and flash mobs and watching youtube videos while sipping lattes at the local makerspace. For all intents and purposes we have lost the 1800s technology of community barn raising. At least we as defined as HN participants.

In theory, in about as much time as it takes a child to grow up, HN as a team, could successfully get our act together and git commit 2.0 of barn-1820. In practice it would be easier / quicker / more reliable to do the ole ageism thing and grow a new batch of fresh teenagers to build the barn. Less old ideas in the way.

That's how you lose a technology for all practical purposes.

For another example, its pretty easy to take my backyard, and industrially mechanically farm corn on it. People do this all the time a couple miles away. On the other hand we've pretty well lost the technology of growing a couple rows of carrots at a backyard scale, if you define "we" as more than single digit percentage.

Don't mistake legality for morality. By a lot of people's estimations, they're exactly reversed in this situation with Snowden breaking secrecy laws by exposing "legal" surveillance.

Plus, it's not even clear the government is acting legally here. An excellent case can be made that mass surveillance violates the Fourth Amendment, and if the CIA planned anything other than bringing Snowden back to a public trial in the USA, that would be a violation of the Sixth Amendment.
This is (sadly) why gopkg.in [1] exists. It proxies Git repositories, mapping:

gopkg.in/mypackage.v3 -> github.com/go-mypackage/mypackage

gopkg.in/bob/mypackage.v3 -> github.com/bob/mypackage

...where v3 is a branch or tag named v3, v3.N or v3.N.M.

What Go needs is a real package manager that uses the new 1.5 vendor directory to manage dependencies. There have been some attempts (godep, gb), but they aren't very good, especially if you look at how existing languages have solved this (Ruby's Bundler, Rust's Cargo).

The main things that Rust offers over C++ are memory safety and better concurrency via data race freedom. There are other nice things too, like better macros, strongly typed generics, and pattern matching, but those two are the main highlights.

That being said, some projects are legitimately OK with some memory management errors and/or races creeping into production, in exchange for a lower learning curve in that area. If this describes your project, and you're happy with C++, then keep using C++.

(Note that I don't believe that "I write modern C++ so I never make memory management errors" is virtually ever true. Every large C++ app I've ever seen has fallen to some memory error or another. I think "I don't care (enough) about the errors" is a legitimate reason to use C++, but "I don't have to care" isn't.)

We joke that I choose our current house for the walk-in pantry and large kitchen. What's the point of an home if you can't cook in it? That would be so sad, may as well sleep in a dorm.

I wouldn't mind getting rid of grocery stores buying in bulk for our family if the option was available, and have easy to compost packages so I wouldn't have to throw them in the trash. Those improvement could happen even if people cooked at home.
I posted this on reddit last night:

Any time there's a special feature on a bone, usually a muscle attaches to it. I googled, and found out that the mentalis muscle attaches to the chin.

Interestingly, wikipedia says "In conjunction with orbicularis contraction, the mentalis muscle allows the lips to 'pout.' Externally, mentalis contraction causes wrinkling of the chin skin, as used in expressions of doubt or displeasure. It is sometimes referred to as the 'pouting muscle.'" [Emphasis mine]

Humans have complex facial expressions, and I would say that the pout is part of the repertoire. When someone is pouting, they are in extreme emotional distress, on the verge of sobbing. Having such an obvious "tell" would be beneficial to a social species, probably leading to conciliatory behavior and promoting de-escalation and group cohesion during conflict.

I did some cursory googling to see of the mentalis is involved in speech production, but found nothing at my level. Offhand I can't think of any particular speech sounds I can make when my lips are in pout formation.
Looking around my place, I don't see any devices that would care. Short of heat devices like kettles and dryers, everything can be run on 110v/15a. So if voltage is the only reason for keeping those brobdingnagian plugs, that too should be revisited.
Stupid question:

A lot of HTTPS's value comes from authentication, not encryption. Has anyone investigated using something like the TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA cipher suite for HTTPS, to provide auth and integrity without the computational cost of symmetric encryption? Would that even provide a meaningful performance benefit?

I'm guessing that it's disabled by default in most browsers, and figuring out a sane user experience to allow users to differentiate between encrypted and non-encrypted secure traffic seems like a very hard problem.
I'm in full agreement with this. The learning curve (and the compilation speed I guess--but that's improving quickly) is the main drawback to writing Web apps in Rust. If you've already learned it, though, then it's basically just down to the typical static vs. dynamic typing tradeoff, with Rust just being like any other statically typed language.
Many US plugs are now designed with a guard, such that both main prongs must be present before the socket will open and allow either prong to enter (sticking a fork in one side won't open it). Voltages present at outlets in the US is also half of UK (and most of the world, I believe). Under most circumstances, it is not hazardous. It doesn't feel good to be hit with it, but it generally will not kill you or cause permanent damage. Notice I said most circumstances. There are a few things that can make even lower voltages lethal, such as the presence of water, a person with existing cardiac issues, or a small child, for example.

It appears also that the half-insulated conductors would present less surface area for contact with the mating outlet, possibly increasing resistance, which could be a problem with a high current load. Or is the mating outlet somehow designed to mitigate this?

My main complaint with the outlets in the USA is the contacts in the receptacle lose their grip over time, sometimes to the point of not even making connection with the inserted plug. Under a high-amperage load, this causes the outlet to heat up(due to increased resistance), even when the load is below the outlet's rating.

Honestly, as far as mains connectors go, I'm a huge fan of Schuko for two very big reasons:

There's no polarization, so you get away from that faux-safety reasoning behind "well, neutral should never be hooked up to a switch" nonsense with non-fixed equipment. This extends too to equipment with faulty designs, like toasters lacking double-pole switches. It should really go without saying that you should always unplug the device from the wall if you intend to service it.

In addition, Schuko separates the electrical connection from the mechanical connection. This has the obvious benefit that a failure in either won't become a safety concern. Readers from the US will likely understand why this is huge in the context of things like wall warts. (;
Exactly. The high current, if combined with unevenly split loads, improperly installed or maintained wiring, excessive use of spurs etc. can actually mean a greater risk of (fire) damage due to overload compared to 'star'-like circuits carrying less current per segment.

Psychiatrists also have been known to over prescribe amphetamines to children.

Honestly, just from personal experience, the profession seems to be marginally above chiropractors in legitimacy. Diagnosis and treatment is inconsistent and arbitrary - varying widely from practitioner to practitioner. Treatments are prescribed with "guess and check" methodologies. Longitudinal effects of many treatments aren't even known and results of many which have been eventually studied aren't good.

I recognize a lot of people have net positive experiences but the profession and pharmaceutical industry surrounding it 'needs improvement'.
