Yes, but a drill press is so low tech... Anyway, it's a 'right tool for the job' kind of problem. We see the exact same thing in IT. Learning how to use hand tools properly and efficiently takes time, learning how to use a CAD program properly takes time too. When you've invested your time in the latter without first doing the former you'll end up trying to solve all your problems in terms of that particular solution.

The proper time to use CNC gear is when:

- you need multiple units of something

- or you need one single extremely complex workpiece

- when the accuracy required is beyond your ability to achieve with a manual tool

- when you don't have the manual tool

For most people you sketched above #3 translates into 'or when you don't know how to use the manual tool at all'...

Which is understandable, after all a lathe or a mill are a lot more up close, personal and intimidating than a CNC instrument but it would be a mistake to think the CNC version is safer in the hands of someone that doesn't understand what they're doing.

If you want to make half decent CNC workpieces you have to know the basics and you should be comfortable with the manual version of the shoptools before you graduate to CNC.

You'll be safer and produce much better work.

BTW: I'm very much not a fan of hold downs that are not made out of steel with a nice T bolt running through it to a solid base but I've seen a fairly powerful rig pull a setup like that apart like it was made out of plastic so even there you're not always safe. Turns out the shear forces on the clamp bolts were overcome by the mill, retrospectively it kind of figures (large diameter workpiece, clamps in the center, mill geared down considerably). Under the right conditions anything will give.

Vacuum and magnets can be used as hold downs for certain workpieces, it all depends on the setup. 3D printed clamps would probably need to be oversized to get any strength at all negating much of their advantage and with hold downs it's much better to be safe than sorry.
I have no problem separating the man from the organisation. An organisation that publishes in the manner that WIkileaks does is neutral by default. They don't publish opinion pieces, merely cables. Perhaps the author of the piece should reflect inwards if he cannot separate Assange from Wikileaks.

Imperfection is not the same thing as complete impotence. Western democracies could be substantially better than they are, but they are still leagues beyond any other functioning system of government on the planet that i'm aware of.

Again, that's not to say that it can't be much much better than it is, but you do have some power, and the people who wield the true power are beholden to you to some extent, which as a general rule, is not the case in most of the world.
This mainly relates to non-scalable industries where everything depends on simply reproducible labor not requiring a lot of training - like yes, barbershops, or real estate. I think it's more of good than bad - it prevents flocking of people into these industries resulting in cutthroat competition, low quality, and desperation of everyone involved. People simply find some other better trades instead.

Sometimes i feel like something like that must be introduced into software development, too: too many random people here, trying to compete only in price. It doesn't work of course, savvy clients see the real picture, but it drops the shadow on the industry in general, like people don't want to learn now to code out of the fear of having to compete with $5 an hour Indians.

How we deal with lower life forms on our own planet is totally unrelated to how we would deal with intelligent life from another. Why would they be related? If you're worried that aliens would look down on us as inferior life forms and wipe us out, that's totally possible, though I'd say it's pretty unlikely that any aliens ever come to visit us anyway. If they do, and they're more powerful than us, our animal welfare laws are not going to do us any good.

... "tried" and never actually did.

It's interesting to read about how Assange's, one journalist's and Domscheit-Berg's actions combined to produce the uncontrolled release of the US cables:

Wtf? It's not terribly hard to employ a skewed selection process on non-opinionated material.
I agree. Perhaps I'm not reading the right articles, but it seems rare for anyone involved (genuine refugees, or people in the refugee business) to condemn these sorts of people.

I don't think I wrote that. Simply don't attempt to take away a functioning institution from the person that was instrumental in creating it risking that institution to an experiment with an unknown outcome. Better to create an alternative that proves your merits. Why should Wikileaks be a monopoly, it's not as if there is room for only one of these.
Well, the other way around as well: those animals have evolved special feelings for us. It's harder to eat something when our conscience gets in the way...

This is true in the context of Midori but not in general. In a dynamic environment, you recompile your buggy function and continue working.
If you've talked to enough of those trained professionals and if you've read the research their training is based on (and the research about that training), you'll realize that quite a lot - if not most - of the therapeutic effect comes from the patient having someone to talk with about their problems. Which is something a caring local community leader can do as well. 'mrrrgn knows some bad examples, I've personally seen some good - the heads of congregations in the religion I was raised in actually get something of a psychology training, though it's not called such - rather, it's just advice about talking and helping people in need. OTOH they'll happily refer you to seek outside, secular psychological and psychiatric help as well.

Curiously, psychology itself was quite mixed with religion in the past; in some places, it still is. I remember reading Polish psychology texts as a kid, quite a lot of them had serious Catholic undertones (and sometimes explicit references). Which is sort-of understandable when you can count on religion as being an important part of your average person's life.

Russia doesn't really need Assange to expose it's inner workings as bad, we have plenty of evidence as it is. Assange could not possibly harm Russia in a worse way than Putin and his merry band of criminals do all by their lonesome.

Or do you think there is something worth releasing in the Kremlin document store that will do as much damage as say MH317 to Russian interests?
Agreed but I think it's also OK to take a fundamental position that all secrecy is bad. If you want to shift the status quo, you need to take an extreme standpoint. Today's status quo in Western governments is a long long way from being the happy medium you're describing.

Case in point would be Stallman - whether you agree or not with his ideals or the GPG you can't deny that his impact on software as a whole has been tremendous and positive. It's reasonable to argue that github would not exist were it not for RMS and his fundamental position that all software should be Open Source

Re Paris attacks and migrants: Only the politics are blaming it on Syria and on migrants!

I, French, and many others, have seen through the game. Terrorists were actually French/Belgian. And French born. It's a failure with our "Egalité des Chances".

- That President Hollande triggers 3000 home bustings with no warrant is extremely racist. They did uncover arms but one should notice that they busted a lot of... countryside hunters. What a shame on police.

- That President Hollande triggers house arrests on hundreds of Muslims is extremely racist again. At best they lose their jobs, at worst those Muslims will turn back their opinion against revenge-based democracy, and we're feeding tomorrow's terrorism with new French-born-and-raised citizen.

- That Holland considers bombing a foreign country because we had some terrorist attacks is, again, using politics for another agenda. By the way, war creates new poverty, and 90% the West goes at war, they create the terrorists of tomorrow.

- If our terrorists have made a trip to Syria, that's at minimum a big failure of the Shengen borders. Shengen borders which, we were told, were stronger than just national borders, but have just let about 1.1million migrants through. What a mockery over the voters.

- France is in economic stagnation. I have lived in 4 countries, I'm not naive. We don't have the money to lead a war in Syria. With that much money we send all kids of Africa to Disneyland (Do make the calculation, we spend 32m€ on war per year).

- French citizen who became terrorists did that out of hopelessness. If anything, we need more social fabric, more social help. We also need a strict police. My cousin was sexually assaulted by someone we have the identity of, and the police isn't arresting him. Sexual assault being one of the worst crimes, it's weak to say that the police is generally lenient with crime and that's our culture. And when our police acts, they just do so in a massively racist way. Way to go. Talking about police, the worst thing to do for a Socialist president is to give free reign to far-right police during Etat d'Urgence.

President Hollande is acting the worst way against terrorism. He's not attacking the roots at all (better economy, equal chances, less debt, less war, balanced police with due diligence and powers in check, safe environment for Muslims, and teaching about equality). President Hollande is teasing the population with racism, imposing a police state on Muslims (and the rest of the population), removing juges from the police system, bombing Syria and losing money.

Between Hollande and FN (far right), I see no difference.

Which brings me to the matter: 1. There is no Socialist party that we can vote for if we're against the war and pro-equality and pro-integration; 2. Voters from the first point will turn to FN if Hollande doesn't have a better program than FN.

I accuse Hollande of failing France, by not applying a Socialist program and teasing France towards extreme-right.
> - Rust lets you catch panics at thread boundaries (one of the most controversial decisions in Rust; I think it was the right one, but I definitely acknowledge that it's a big tradeoff).

(Unstable) Rust lets you catch panics anywhere. You have to be able to do that for sane FFI - as you know (but perhaps other readers don't), a panic that unwinds across the Rust/C FFI boundary causes undefined behavior, so AIUI extern functions in Rust should all look like:

pub extern "C" fn foo_the_quuxes(x: i32) -> i32 {
std::catch_panic(|| do_stuff_in_rust_land_that_may_panic(x))
.unwrap_or(-1)
}

(Actually, checking several libraries off the top of my head that expose C APIs, most don't do this -- probably because std::catch_panic is relatively new.)

Let's hope developers don't abuse std::catch_panic for regular Rust code. Maybe a lint that warns about uses outside of an extern fn is worth having.
This is the previous design from 10 years ago:

https://web.archive.org/web/20060421204854/http://www.reacto...

It certainly looks dated, but compared to the new design there are a few good things about it:

- High information density

- Screenshot at the top

- Link to legal review and licenses (questions that any enterprise customer would have)

- No gratuitous animation sequences

I wonder if it would have been possible to update the ReactOS site's design while retaining its informational quality. Just improving the typography and working on the padding between boxes could have made a real difference.

More generally, I wish the tide of web design trends would turn towards information density once again. Edward Tufte, a legend in the field and proponent of visual density, famously called PowerPoint presentations "chart junk" because they spend slide after slide on charts with minimal information in each.

Modern websites willingly do the same, forcing the user to scroll through a dozen screenfuls just to glean some basic information about a product. Animation makes this even worse, because the user has to sit and wait while the site slowly delivers information in animated word-sized chunks.

That is usually how it goes, isn't it? People kill the golden goose because they start to think their platform is invincible and the laws of physics don't apply to them anymore. Then they become vulnerable to all kinds of problems.
Well a very simple way to poke a hole in this would be to download the image (where ever it may be?) they use and see if any licenses are being violated as it seems to be based on Linux (as of 2012 https://www.niap-ccevs.org/st/st_vid10449-st.pdf find "linux").

This shows (again) the fundamental issue with digital identity.

People try to save their data or 'status' like stars from one provider to another, while painfully experiencing that vendors only lockin their data, but it belongs to them.

It will be very interesting when there rises a plattform for digital trust which gians enough users. Could be comming from the programming community first.

Here is the basic idea of differential privacy in its simplest form.

Suppose that A is a eps-DP algorithm and X1, X2 are two datasets differing by a single point. Recall that for small eps, exp(eps) is roughly (1+eps) and exp(-eps) is roughly (1-eps), so eps-DP yields the guarantee that (roughly speaking), for all subsets S,

(1-eps) * Pr{ A(X2) \in S } <= Pr{ A(X1) \in S } <= (1+eps) * Pr{ A(X2) \in S }.

Intuitively speaking, the output distribution of A on X1 and X2 looks roughly the same, only differing by a factor (1 +/- eps), with a fudge factor eps that the user gets to control. Note that this is a very strong notion of stability of an algorithm.

I would also recommend looking at JOpt Simple.
https://pholser.github.io/jopt-simple/

JOpt Simple tries to not only to be simple in use but also in code by restricting the commandline syntax to the command line option syntaxes of POSIX getopt() and GNU getopt_long().

I like that much better than the support-them-all attitude of Commons CLI.

Whoever thought that having Git-style command line options is a good idea should have their programming license revoked (although the syntax of Git's command line options is the least problem I have with them).
How We Monitor and Run Elasticsearch at Scale
It's rape by the definition of quite a few countries, and rightly so but there is a ton of questionable stuff about that whole affair, enough to make you wonder what's true and what is not. There are some excellent write ups on the grisly facts and Assange definitely does not come out undamaged, no matter what your interpretation would be.

But that's besides the point, the thing that bothers me is that Sweden could have tried him 'in absentia' a hundred times over, it is just all too convenient that they seem to be perfectly content with having him bottled up in that Embassy which actually lends some credibility to Assange's claims. And if I had pissed off as many powerful interests I'd be super paranoid too.

The part that they probably didn't count on was that since he's now in an actual embassy and has very few distractions most of Assanges flaws have no way to express themselves. The only thing Wikileaks currently does not have is a project director that can go places and give speeches, that definitely is a detriment but it need not be a fatal one.
That's a nice idea. Vaguely remember seeing something like this before, but since I don't know where that's not a problem. Might've been an Ubuntu initiative from a few years ago and was not necessarily only the firmware.

The introduction is missing that coreboot (https://www.coreboot.org/) exists.

Suggestion: Make it easier to contribute. I have no idea how to get fwts to give me the files shown for the example. Why not add a script that calls fwts the right way and formats the output as needed, and maybe uploads the result to somewhere?
They are very different. There are things you can hide for 3 hours that will easily leak in 3 months, let alone 3 years. It's easy to get through 3 hours on basically bullshit small talk.
For bureaucrats in their cubicles, yes, this is normal corporate network management. You have no expectation of privacy at work; if you want that, go home.

As a student, though, the university is also your home ISP. And the public WiFi at the coffee shops, libraries, etc. In this context, reading your users' email is way less okay.

OMG, people! "Public" in "public key" doesn't mean that you should share it with the whole world, it's just because it's an antonym of "private key", meaning that the other party you want to communicate with doesn't need to have a pre-shared secret key with you. Other party may be the whole world, but may be not. How public key is used is up to a protocol and threat model: it may as well be secret, and yes, in some protocols and threat models security can depend on public key being secret, and it's not wrong, and not "security by obscurity".
To someone whose account is 2961 days old? Yes.

I think you misunderstood much of what tomp said, and willfully misinterpreted some of the rest.

The number of trades does not determine alpha, but it means that you can be much more certain about whether someone has alpha or not. For example, John Paulson made billions on (essentially) a single trade in 2007 and early 2008. Does he have alpha? It's hard to say, because all of those profits were from one trade, and he could have been lucky. Virtu Financial generates millions of dollars each year, by making tens of millions of trades. Do they have alpha? Absolutely - you can be certain of it, because it would be statistically impossible to get lucky tens of millions of times.

The idea "alpha becoming beta" is an extremely relevant one for many hedge funds today. As strategies become well known, they become commodified, and are often offered at a lower fee, both by hedge funds, ETFs and investment bank products. Frequently, they are offered for little or no performance fee, so they cannot be called "alpha" and are often referred to as "smart beta". For example, AQR Capital Management offers many low-fee funds giving exposure to value investing, momentum investing, managed futures, the FX carry trade and others. It sounds like you are using a very narrow definition of beta (exposure to the stock market) whereas the usage in the industry is much broader.

Pointing out that quant funds use "algorithms" to trade rather than "computers" is pointlessly picking holes. It's clear what he means.
1) We domesticated horses and dogs to perform a service, not serve as food. These animals were not bred to be flavorful.

2) If you are eating a service animal, that implies it was either too sick or too old to be of service. An old or sick animal is unlikely to yield quality meat.

3) Domestication is a powerful force. With great power comes great responsibility. Warning, the next paragraph is dark.

One of the most abominable animal abuses comes from eating dogs. Dogs are bred to be timid and sensitive. Consequently they are easily tormented. While it is an uncommon practice, in rural Korea dogs are tormented prior to butchering and then served in such a way to give the consumer an adrenaline buzz. These dogs are also a special farm-breed that is more flavorful.

The above story was told to me by several hosts while I was in Korea.
