No. When you communicate via text, email, etc you perceive the message in a tone that fits what you want. Somebody you consider irrational will come off with an aggressive tone. Somebody you want to laugh at your jokes and be happy around you will come off in a happy mood that conveys they enjoy your presence/company.

So glad you called that out, I was about to do the same thing. The authors had extremely narrow and simplistic views, especially considering that they carry such lofty tiles as Philosopher and Writer. And at the end of the day, its their narrow views that keep them from seeing the things that will keep their [boring and soul-less] vision of the future from coming to be: I'm thinking of the fact that when people are left to network while the government shrinks they tend to organize criminally. Power vacuums get filled unless you are way more creative than these guys.

In terms of laptop OSes, OS X is by far the best. It's stable, usable and 100% desktop-OS focused. I can't stand the touchscreen features that Windows 10 tries to still force on you. Somehow my Windows 10 laptop got put into "tablet mode," and it was pretty unusable. I couldn't access the desktop anymore, it was slow and it took awhile to figure out the issue.

I think it was flipped on after an update, but why would I even want to be able to enable that mode on a laptop without a touchscreen?

They are not stealing peoples jewelries not sure where you got that from.

This is exactly the kind of unfortunate misconceptions about that law and it requires context to understand what the point of it is.

Denmark is one of the countries who both take most and provide the most social benefits to immigrants and asylum seekers.

There is almost no difference what a citizen and an asylum seeker/immigrant gets in social welfare from the government. They have access to free healthcare, free education, free housing and so on.

Denmark is one of the countries who accept the most too.

A system like that requires a lot taxation to even be possible and so Denmark is one of the most highly taxed countries in the world.

What the law is attempting to make sure is that immigrants or asylums seekers who come to Denmark and ask for the government to provide all these things to them don't have any wealth. I.e. before the danish government starts giving you access to the social welfare system you need to have spent your own wealth first.

This is the same way they treat their own citizen btw.

And on top of that. This is something that Germany, Holland and Switzherland is already doing. The law is much bigger than that and holds all sorts of adjustments to deal with the underlying system. Someone just managed to polemically pick some of this up and interpret it in a way that made it sound like they where literally pulling gold teeth out of peoples mouth.

They aren't taking any of affectional value either.

So no they are not steal peoples jewelry as they enter.

This diatribe is regarding the media's handling of one of many recent whistleblower stories, and an atypical one at that. After beginning with a historical expiation of the etymology of the term, the author goes on to discard other current whistleblower stories, the vast majority of which the media has covered in a starkly different manner, and commits the sin they are condemning, that of sesationalizing the Snowden case.

Compare to Windows where it's called "Cut" but is really "Copy and mark for maybe deleting if you paste later". It doesn't remove files when they go to the clipboard (which is what cut does literally anywhere else).

And then Paste becomes a destructive operation that deletes your original files, or if you prefer, paste turns into "Move Item Here."

They've taken two different approaches to avoiding accidental data loss by overwriting the clipboard, but I wouldn't say one is inherently more right than the other. Windows makes new actions but has the interface pretend that it's doing the same thing as normal cut and paste. OS X makes the UI less standard, but describes what's being done more explicitly.
hey! you're the guy in the presentation video, correct? can I maybe give you an unsolicited but constructively-intended suggestion? (initially decided it was a bit too OT, but I happened onto this thread 6 days later and figure there's not much to derail now--if you'll even read this reply).

anyway, suggestion is to try and keep your voice at a more constant volume? :) you tend to trail off into a lower level (though not as bad to become inaudible) and then "yeelp" all the way back up at the start of the next sentence, which was occasionally a bit startling :) I was listening to it late at night on medium-large speakers so finding the right level was a bit of a gamble to not wake anyone :-P

either way just a suggestion, maybe there was a reason for that particular presentation. do with it what you will ;-)

and thanks for the interesting ideas on a very interesting topic! :)
Pre-smartphone Sony was mostly just in the Japanese market. Then later in the early smartphone days Ericsson spun off their mobile phone business and got Sony on board, yielding Sony Ericsson. Then Sony bought Ericsson out and renamed it to just Sony Mobile.
I know what you're getting at, but there are things a government must do that a civilian must be legally prohibited from doing. As a matter of fact, that's most of the role of government.
I'll have to look into WavePot, but I'll say that SonicPi is built first and foremost for live-coding; making music in realtime while coding. There's some other languages that focus on this - Gibber in the browser, Tidal in Haskell. Those are probably the best languages to start playing with if you want to get something musical happening quickly.

SuperCollider is much more general - you have a server that can build and execute graphs of unit generators, and a language that has a ton of convenience features for interacting with the server, and abstractions for scheduling events. (sidenote, I'm starting to build an audio patching environment using SuperCollider. It doesn't do anything yet but I'm hoping to have something soon https://github.com/YottaSecond/Triggerfish)

SuperCollider also has a great community - questions on the mailing list are usually answered within a couple of hours, and there's a team of people furiously working on the upcoming 3.7 release.

I love Pure Data to death, it has an amazing community and is actively being developed, but I have some trouble recommending it because of the aging Tcl/Tk interface.

ChucK looks really interesting. In most environments you need to write unit generators in C/C++ to actually do low-level audio processing. ChucK uses a "strongly-timed" programming model, where you can actually use the same language to process sound sample-by-sample and schedule things at real musical intervals.

Extempore is also worth looking into if you aren't afraid of lisp.

So yeah, it depends largely on what you want to do. The live-coding languages like SonicPi are probably the best for getting music going quickly, but the others all have unique things to offer.
Of course it's harmful to the child. But there are millions of children born in various parts of the world who would suffer the same harms.

So, you buy the cheap battery, the genuine cells, then you disassemble the cheap battery, reassemble it using the superior cells and then you also hack the firmware of either the battery or your laptop so it can still be charged.

Even just looking at the parts cost, are you sure you would still save money compared to going with the original battery? And of course you have to add your own time to this (if you actually like doing this, then it'll be cheap I guess) and the value of the warranty that you certainly will have voided at that point.

I totally understand that this might be a fun project to do and it will certainly be a nice achievement when you're through, but can this really be rationalised with cost of the original part?
Would it make sense to have single device with microphones that could detect specific sound (i.e. beep of dishwasher) and also could distinguish it from other specific sound (i.e. beep of washing machine) and than push this as a notification via whatever means (i.e. twitter)? With few microphones it could detect direction of sound and than it could learn which appliance makes which sound.

Not that I see a need for something like this, but existence of such device could deter a bit companies from shoving such things to every appliance.
>Many Americans believe in following the law no matter what.

But if the government breaks the law, it's OK? When others do it, they're traitors?
If you're interested in rhythms and are open to using samples, you could take a look at Tidal (http://tidal.lurk.org). Tidal is a DSL embedded in Haskell, and can be used to very quickly create patterns of sound: everything from house music to chaotic breakcore to abstract textures. It's great for rhythm-based performance (and composition). It isn't as good at melody, but it does have some support for MIDI output and melodic expression, and with some effort your library of samples can support melody easily. I found Tidal's learning curve to be very shallow, but I think it depends on how you perceive music and rhythm. The Tidal community is working on a better install experience right now (in the meantime you'll need to compile a few things from source, etc). It primarily supports Emacs and Atom (Emacs appears to be the most stable).

Edit: Tidal is great for both live-coding and static-composition scenarios. In my opinion, it's ideal for live coding performance because minimal code is needed to get sound going quickly.
>UI non-responsiveness: it is extraordinarily frequent that I will chord a tab change in Safari or in iTerm2, and the system will not respond for sometimes multiple seconds. It's the same with creating tabs in Safari. ⌘-t or ⌘-{ do not respond.

Ok, for this I can't say much, because every since 2010 or so I've used Chrome in place of Safari. As for iTerm2, I've tried to switch to it several times over the years (later mostly because of Tmux integration) but always found it to be buggy and reverted to the Terminal.

>Application switching focus failures: ⌘-tab will raise another window, but window focus will not follow. This has caused me to lose work. ⌘-tab, ⌘-w will sometimes close an iTerm2 tab that's behind the Safari window I'm looking at.

Hmm, haven't seen this -- and I use ⌘-tab and the ~ variant heavily.

I have seen lagginess in focus when switching full-screen apps use, and I sometimes start typing before that happens. This got a little better in 10.11 though (either faster focus switch or less transition time).

>- discoveryd: My Apple TV's network name is currently "Apple TV (5)". Macs sometimes do this too.

DNS issues I've had (and mentioned in another comment). They tried a transition to a new DNS backend which was buggy. They reverted back to the old one with 10.11 (or sometime in 10.10.x) though and has been OK since then.

>Slow laptop wakeup: I almost always have to tap a keyboard key to wake the display after opening my laptops (MBr and MBPr). Almost always. But not always.

Do see this from time to time (though it almost always works in my case).

Could be a sensor issue though -- not a software thing (the display up sensor not registering, but tap working ok).
The Galaxy Nexus was a complete disaster. Especially the Verizon model. I've had the Nexus 5 and now the Nexus 6P and it's night and day. Phenomenal experience with both phones.

well if you cherry pick your news sources, or your news sources cheery pick what they want to relay, it would be easy to gain the impression that those defending the 2nd have no problem with them trying to get Snowden back.

However that is the crux of the issue. The media spends is way to cozy with the governments of the countries they operate in. Far too many in the media are trying to create news instead of reporting it. So putting two and two together... many of the media are against the gun rights advocates and take liberties with their reporting to put those advocates in the worst possible light.

I am quite sure if you asked many of the advocates you could get very different replies based on how you phrased your question. Like many others there are pro government supported and gun advocates and those who don't trust the government.
Agreed, but I think the reason for the mocking is that they're notoriously hard to understand being several layers removed from the programming context. I understand monads in the context of programming, but I wouldn't pretend to understand how they could be applied in other fields. Haven't got the slightest idea.

Perhaps importing abstractions straight from mathematics isn't the only answer. We might do better if we simply added some type and law restrictions to our abstractions as well as clearly stated assumptions. That way everyone would know when they don't apply anymore.
> In some sense this is academic, ...

Whether all of this is academic or not, I don't know. But what I do know is that these ideas and their practical implications have an ENORMOUS impact on the practitioner's and business's productivity.

> in a very real sense disdain for dependency is something I worry can prevent a project from going through an important high-energy transitory period where semi-formed dependencies exist to solve concrete tasks but have not yet annealed into a final, low-energy form.

We must always riff and hack and creatively explore our domains in code -- this is another practice of the software professional, and notions of "architectural soundness" and "dependency reduction" should never paralyze us from creative play, sculpting and exploration. In these modes of development its best we "turn off" all the rules and let ourselves fly.

But for a code base that has to survive longer than 6 months and that will have more than one collaborator -- this is where it becomes essential to maintain architectural soundness in the shared branch. (My development branches, on the other hand, are in wild violation of all sorts of "rules" -- so there is a difference between what gets promoted to production code and all the exploratory stuff we should also be doing.)
>A surprisingly large number of Americans approve of the Patriot Act.

Because the vast majority of those people don't understand the repercussions of it. They think it allows the government to "catch the terrorists" on our soil. That's the way it was pitched.

The people in power are still immigrants to the internet and this sort of technology in general. The views regarding domestic spying will change as more technologically savvy people age and move into politics. That's why they're trying so hard to push certain legislation, before it's too late.
I got really excited about this thinking that it was something that worked outside of the code base as an interface proxy that could work cross-language.
Sure -- though ST3 has been rock solid for me (on OS X -- mainly using JS, PHP, Python and Go related plugins) for 2 years or so.
Exactly. While Android 1.x looked more like Win95/WinCE, and Android 2x still had some rough edges. Samsung TouchWiz UI for Android 2 made it look modern and very similar to what Android 3/4 looked like.
Off-topic (though hand-picked integers isn't much of a topic to begin with..) do you know of a font, preferably serif, that has the little cross bar on the digit 7 that's common to hand-writing but seems to be shunned by most font designers?

And it does. Some people are worried enough to think that is worth the price.
That really does make a big difference to me. Capturing an escaping fugitive really is their domain, assuming they operated with permission of the governments over which they flew.
I think the first priority should always be simplicity (KISS). Simplicity is understood by perfectionist developers (Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication) and also by beginners (if code become complex, there will be bugs). De-duplication (DRY) is important but should always come after simplicity.

That statement assumes the IoT is only the part that is exposed to consumers. It's also increasingly ICS/SCADA and other M2M technologies that as soon as they connect to the wider web are part of it. As @vdnkh points out below it is not new - just rebranding.

But the implications (especially for security) are huge. Not just because of new bugs or design flaws but also because the momentum (and media frenzy) it creates puts these old (buggy) technologies into the limelight of security researchers. E.g. stuff that was lurking in old protocols suddenly becomes relevant (want to stop a train? https://media.ccc.de/v/32c3-7490-the_great_train_cyber_robbe... ).

There are countless applications not just for BAC but also for logistics, power-grids, industrial automation, e-health, insurance, ... where the IoT is already actively pumping out use-cases, product ideas and actual products.

Novice, not amateur.

Amateurs aren't paid, professionals are.

Novices are inexperienced, journeyman and masters are more skilled and experienced.

A novice can have a ton of knowledge (from books), but be too inexperienced to apply it.

A novice can be a professional, this is what internships and entry-level jobs are supposed to be for. Paired with mentorship and structured work assignments (structured in the sense of increasing complexity, scope, and responsibility) they're brought up to journeyman and, later, master level.

They can also be amateurs. Given forums, books, manuals, mentors (real-life or online), they can be brought up to journeyman and master level as well.
