I thought they worked by dielectric heating? Making polar molecules get all frantic and stuff. There is a safety mechanism to shut off the magnetron when the door is opened, and a screen to make the viewing window opaque to microwave radiation, but those can malfunction.

The MAS model means you are getting crippled applications with vastly reduced capability. The article talks about things like uTorrent and VLC. These kinds of apps are impossible in the MAS.

MAS apps can also stop running at any time if the DRM checks suddenly fail (e.g. if a certificate expires).
It's a piece of satire. Actually, other people have found the article hilarious. It's a matter of personal taste; not everyone will like it. So far, it has received 10 Recommendations.
Which would be ligo, virgo, and geo600. It is not possible to triangulate the origin of gravitational waves with only two detectors.

It would be like crediting one section of the beam tube at cern for detecting the higgs.
Hmmm, I wasn't aware of any bitterness or fight over this either, just a recent increase in articles touting the benefits of it. Seems to me this is one of those "media manufactures fake outrage" articles.
It might. There is no other good way to directly reply to multiple comments without duplicating the reply. Maybe it will encourage them to join this discussion. It also is less vague than leaving them off.
My friends invite me to dinner sometimes. They make the meal. That does not make them chefs, or cooks by profession. At best we can say they cooked that particular meal.

Being a journalist or reporter by profession is one thing. Saying that someone who wrote a single news article is a reporter seems to be an abusive usage of the word. At best we could say that he reported that particular event.

Just saying...

You're correct that DOS itself (MS-DOS, at least) has no networking support, but you might be surprised to learn that DOSBox does natively have networking support - in more ways than one.

On the DOS side of things, you can configure DOSBox so that one instance acts as an IPX 'server' - a server that other DOSBox clients can connect to in order to form a virtual IPX network over UDP. Programs running under DOS would then be able to use the IPX network - especially useful for games, as back then IPX was typically the only kind of networking available.

DOSBox also has support for emulating modems, tunneling the communication over TCP. It does this by allowing the Hayes dial commands to accept IP address/port combinations corresponding to the DOSBox client on the other end (which would have been set up as a server), which many programs would then just accept without validating them. In the event that a program did validate them and not let you enter anything except numbers, you can still do it by padding the numbers with zeroes. For example, if you wanted to connect to 192.168.1.45:1234, you could 'dial' 1921680010451234. Many modem games can then be played this way without having to use any DOS networking support.
{Augmented productivity}  a solution for ultimate focus
Yes, gravity waves travel at lightspeed, at least if you buy into general relativity's tensor equations.

Neutrinos have rest mass and move slower than light. We know this because neutrinos change their flavor in transit, meaning they experience the passage of time, something that would not be possible if they had no rest mass and traveled at light speed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino_oscillation

Nobody knows how much slower, but they must be moving almost light speed because we see neutrinos from supernova collapse before we see the light emission. (The light emission from supernovae is delayed by several hours, because it takes that long to heat up the gas around the collapsed core before it can radiate out.)

How music enhances productivity
This looks pretty cool, and would be really useful as a kind of scratchpad to get ideas down without having to deal with the hassle of opening a Finale file or finding some scratch paper around.

Is there (or are there plans for) an export to traditional notation? I'm sympathetic to the benefits of a modified piano-roll notation, but if you want to have your little ditty for saxophone, English horn, and piano performed by human beings, they're not going to be able to do so without a lot of practice.

Traditional notation (although perhaps "antiquated" for some uses) is remarkably efficient from the perspective of information density, and musicians could easily sight read the two bars of music there without thinking about it at all. It's also widely known by most musicians, and able to deal with lots of things you'd need if you wanted to hear your music performed. (For example: presumably your composition is written in sounding pitch; your wind players would need to transpose from concert pitch or have transposed scores somehow.)

APOD: LIGO detects gravity waves...
I agree to the extent that I'd also very much prefer if all apps that fit the security model of the mac app store would be distributed through it, I hate it that almost every program on my machine seems to have its own way of updating itself (not to mention the initial download/install).

I do think Apple really is to blame here though, the MAS is frankly a big pile of junk, for users, but in particular for developers. It looks like they just launched it and called it a day, the interface is slow, clunky, it doesn't work properly if you have multiple accounts (and there's no way to merge them), updates often fail to download, searching is a mess etc. This is all just user-level complaints, apparently for developers things are even worse if you read around. Over the last year or two almost any app I initially installed through the MAS appears to have moved away from it...

Hi, I'm a Canadian business owner who does lots of US contract work and I have colleagues who are US persons in both countries.

Every time a US Customs agent asks me if I will ever be interested in becoming a citizen I laugh and tell them about situations like this.

When I was young I dreamed of moving to the US, now it is a huge joke because of all the paperwork and FACTA's "Hotel California" implications. Now I will never apply to be a US citizen. Especially because I would have addditional paperwork until I die.

BTW, this even affects Canadians and Canadian legal entities as we're all forced to declare we are not US Persons even if it is obvious we are not.

FACTA is an overreach of power and the IRS should do a better job pushing back against laws like this. The US was once known as "the place to do business" (at least in the Americas) but now it appears to be just a gigantic bureaucracy.

I think it is good people are renouncing their citizenship... Perhaps it is the only way to let the government know how bad the system is.
Should we consider this before sharing?

Nice piece of software - just toyed with it, and it's very fun. It's way ahead of what the industry is used to in practicability for the composer - even if readability suffer a bit from it (I mean in the context of sight reading while playing), although this can be easily solved if this is ever needed by the exporting mechanism.
I can see this getting lot of use, especially with Audiobus, Ableton link or other way of controling third party software - maybe, why not, even live compositing in the future ?

Disclaimer: Not a political statement, just hypothetical and simplified observations on the use and efficacy of digital technology employed by election campaigns.

--

The prevailing narrative has been that data and analytics has powered a more effective ground game and digital strategy for recent candidates often giving them the edge (Obama).

It's safe to assume that Hillary Clinton's campaign has the most (winning) experience and resources in this respect as she inherited many of the operatives from the Obama camp.

For this reason, it would be really interesting if Hillary ended up losing the nomination. It would signal what we already know which is that there is some limit to marketing and advertising.

Voters/consumers often discern the difference between the candidate/product as it actually is and the perceptions of the candidate/product that the advertising campaign attempts to manufacture.

Especially for younger generations, people are increasingly immune not only to the content of advertisements but also to the tracking technologies utilized to effectively deliver those advertisements.

It will be interesting to see how these trends play out (increased reliance of campaigns on digital advertising and increased immunity to ads by younger generations).

It is even worse for US Persons in Canada, many of whom have never even been a US resident in their entire life. The reason is our tax treaty... If you file in Canada, you're good. At least that is how it was. Now they are going after these people because capital gains are exempted from this aspect of the treaty so they think they are compliant by having filed in Canada, but then find out a house the sold 10-20 years ago should have been declared even if they have never had to file US taxes before.
There was also the port tricks, connect two PCs with a COM or LPT cable and a few games could communicate over them. I recall (but could be wrong) that DOOM 3D could do this. DirectPlay (DirectX networking) also supported this in at least Windows 95. A few VIC 20 games also used this trick.

3 Reasons AWS Lambda Is Not Ready for Prime Time
I am also curious about the cable. At the start of the video, its upper end is clamped on to a part of the antenna. The guy appears to be about take the lower end off what I am guessing is a grounded part, then he decides to give the demonstration. So, in the beginning, is this a live antenna that was shorted to ground while still being powered? (perhaps because it was being worked on?) If so, it seems a rough way to handle the transmitter, though I suppose it must be robust enough to handle lightning strikes (you can see two rods with balls on the end that I guess make a spark gap.)

Alternatively, could this be an unpowered antenna that is picking up signal from a nearby powered one?
inoreader is a web feed reader, but you can access your folders in there as RSS feeds again. Some filtering as well, but it is limited in the free version. Might be enough for you?
It is very annoying that you replace words with links. On a mobile device, the link is shortened so you can't see what it's referring to as its been cropped. Just for future reference.
You absolutely could though. Here's what you could say:

"Even though this discovery is our success, I would like to emphasize the fact that none of this would have been possible, had it not been for decades of work in this particular field by thousands of people who dedicated lives to pave the way for this final success. Just like Rome wasn't built in one day, such important discoveries are always the visible part of a huge network of dedicated individuals. This work will serve as a testimony to their hard work, we did build on the shoulders of giants and we'll always be grateful. Now's the time for celebration, but also for taking comfort in the knowing that the coming generations of scientists and engineers will build upon our findings for even greater discoveries in the future. To everyone, thank you."

That kind of stuff is both respectful of past discoveries in the field and creates a sense of community in science as a whole. It's much better in my opinion that singling out a couple of people, who despite their obvious hard work and brilliance, didn't single-handedly come up with the whole concept.
Thanks! Always nice when we help to make people's perceptions of places less unidimensional. Brazil is not only a place with rainforests, we also have coders! :)

Soup (Apple) – the Newton storage system
C+= Language
If wanting to know up front if this is designed for the future or the past is an edge case, it's a pretty crowded edge. Python 3 was released eight years ago, and I will ALWAYS choose a competing technology (if it means a language other than Python, that's fine with me) before I'll let Python 2 play any role in a new project I architect.

The first thing I looked for on the Bokeh website was some sort of clear statement on the front page about it being Python 3. I don't have an immediate need for it, but if it's Python 3, I'll keep it in mind. If it's just that euphemistic "Python", it may as well be Cobol for all I'd care.

I thought I'd skim over these comments just in case someone asked the obvious question, and someone did. (Thank you.) And, yes, it is apparently Python 3 enough that we wouldn't need to use any Python 2 if we adopted it.

Very nice. Now I wish I DID need it, but maybe I'll do a side project of my own with it, just for fun. I'll be keeping it in mind in any case. I'll bet "Python 3" is mentioned somewhere on the site, but I didn't spot it right away. It might be worth making it a bit more prominent, since it is an important feature for those designing for the future.
Unix things web developers often struggle with – and how to fix them
Author here. The list: EALLCAPS messages, handing non-responsive terminal apps, how to use interpreters, restarting services, running unprivileged apps on low ports - is just based on my own experiences working with people from non-Unix backgrounds.

There's a few simpler things that also come up:

- You don't need to close your terminal window to make .bash_profile changes take effect, just run `bash -l` to start a login shell

- The find command. Find can do a bunch of stuff, but most of the time you just want:

find /dir -name 'somefile.ext'

If you'd prefer to type:

findname 'somefile.ext'

...then here's a shortcut for your .bash_profile:

function findname () {
find . -name "$@"
}

- journalctl. A lot of folk seem to spend time either hunting for a regex to scrape time or scrolling like a maniac to find a particular time of day. Just:

journalctl -u myapp --since 09:00

To get everything that happened since 9AM.

* a better way to read the CFBundleShortVersionString would be to use `defaults`: replace the exec grep; grep -v by exec `defaults read '{}' CFBundleShortVersionString`

* there are applications which use the Sparkle framework but not the Autoupdate app, and apparently applications which contain Autoupdate.app but it doesn't have a CFBundleShortVersionString. On my machine, 43 application bundles contain Sparkle, 10 have an Autoupdate.app and 9 have an Autoupdate.app with a CFBundleShortVersionString plist key. Reading Sparkle.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist would be more reliable, but even that is not perfect, some of those don't have a CFBundleShortVersionString, only a CFBundleVersion (those are most likely the downright ancient Sparkle versions, we're talking 1.0 and 1.1)

The bitterness seems real:

> The debate has clearly become acrimonious. Paap says that he has been ignored; Bialystok feels she is being personally attacked. Perhaps, wrote Eric-Jan Wagenmakers from the University of Amsterdam, the two sides could form an “adversarial collaboration.” That is, they would work together to test the bilingual advantage once and for all, through a large study, perhaps involving many labs. The teams would pre-register all their experimental plans and agree to publish the results no matter what, so there could be no accusation of questionable research practices or publication bias. Then let the chips fall where they may. This approach has already been used to some success in other areas of psychology.

> Paap is up for it; Bialystok is not. “That’s not how science works: You don’t sign a contract to not change anything in your protocol as the research evolves,” she says. “And they’ve set up so many toxins in this area that no good collaboration can result.” Bak feels similarly. “How much would I win by working with someone who doesn’t understand the area and is already biased?”
