Wait wait wait. So they're killing people based on a model that fails Statistics 101!? No accounting for base rates? No cross-validation!?

God fucking damnit, why the fuck does our government think killing should be cheaper and easier than healing!? We put new medical treatments through decades of difficult scientific tests, but have none at all for strictly invalid ways to kill people?
You can't. FCC does not allow radio traffic to be encrypted on Ham bands.

Tell us, in what area you've refreshed your dev tools and started coding immediately.

I remember I was trying to replace maven with gradle in Java -- it was fail because I wasn't able to add new repository to gradle. I'm still not sure how to it.
Ok. Because you can radix sort on CPU and it's a lot faster than e.g. quicksort in my experience.
I disagree. In the US you may go on dates with multiple people at the same time, but it is very frowned upon to be dating multiple people at the same time.

By the time you are dating, you are no longer going on dates. I think this is part of the confusion.
It seems interesting the 'wa' repositories now redirect to a Fishery account that does, guess what? fish plugins. I’m not defending oh-my-fish, because it looks like they didn’t give attribution, but it’s all too convenient.

In any case, it’s clear this is just a stunt to open the path for Fisherman to become the de facto framework. Hopefully no one will really use them, but I know some people will.
Observe the @amd.com commits in this[0] driver supporting the latest AMD GPUs. Observe this[1] person who lists AMD as his current employer and describes his current job as "Working on open source drivers for Radeon GPUs."

AMD employs kernel developers who write free software drivers for their GPUs. That's all I was trying to communicate. I have no particular knowledge of the actual business organization.

You're confusing Dating with Dates (at least in US terminology).

Dating is once someone has become a romantic partner, passing the phase of going on Dates.

If you're going on Dates with someone, you're not Dating. If you're Dating someone, you're not going on Dates. They're mutually exclusive.
Every now and again, I give Fish a try, and I'm definitely wow'd (usually by the automatic colors), but not enough to completely ditch Eshell.

Your optimism is misplaced. The USA routinely drone strikes people they have no intelligence on whatsoever on the basis of nothing more than 'they acted like a terrorist', these are called signature strikes, i.e. they matched the "signature" of a terrorist.

Organisations that do this so frequently there's jargon for it are absolutely not going to be slowed down by requiring human intelligence (which is itself full of false positives and duplicity, see how random people were sold to US soldiers as "terrorists" to collect the reward money).
A drone strike typically kills identified terrorist targets but also unidentified targets. The trick is that as long as bystanding casualities (also children yes - or as the drone operators call them "fun sized terrorists") have not been identified they're automatically counted as terrorists. (see also https://theintercept.com/drone-papers/)

I don't think now that the beast has been unleashed it can be controlled or harnessed with peaceful means (the tools of democracy). It will take more than a couple of middle-class people with billboards handing out flyers. America is fuelling its own terrorism and creating hate so they can continue their war on terror. Every terrorist act in the West will further drive the hate and justify surveillance. Pretty sure this is a downward spiral which ultimately has only losers.

Well, if you are some kind of openssl master, acme-tiny is flawless.

In practice, for most people, reserve a few hours for your first deployment. After you got a script that calls openssl right, it's fast to adapt for other domains, but the first time is hard.
Internet <---(ssl,ethernet)---> Gateway <----(plaintext,radio)-----> Ham

That's not true. Oh My Fish! is down because they are still using my old Wahoo code. I have since moved from that old code base in Fisherman, but they haven't. Do as you please, but learn your facts.

Pretty cool!

I'd also want to know what kinds of certain vegetables to get. For example, the difference between sweet tomatoes and sour tomatoes is the difference between a loved friend and a great cook, and an idiot who shouldn't have been let into the kitchen ; ). Same with the different kinds of onions, and so forth. While, as they are, the 'what to buy' list is moderately useful, it would be 100x more if we had greater details!

Edit: Want to add something else. Haha, it shows ginger ale and red pepper as one of the worst combinations. It feels that someone should experiment, and make something good out of that. It doesn't feel too wrong (as wrong as, say, soft cheese and yogurt).

Very interesting article about the subject from November 2015: It’s Way Too Easy to Hack the Hospital, http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2015-hospital-hack/
"showstopper for a lot of people"

People trying to do what, exactly? And how would existing ham users benefit by having the bands taken over by those commercial activities that the FCC regulates under other parts?

There are multiple roadblocks:

FCC part 97.113(A) prohibited transmissions contains:

"(5) Communications, on a regular basis, which could reasonably be furnished alternatively through other radio services."

So... if all you're trying to do is replicate a wirelessISP or satellite internet service, but do it for free on the ham bands, well, that's illegal in and of itself aside from encryption. This part of the law has occasionally caused controversy for the RC airplane people on the 6M band, the "text email service for sailboats" people on HF, couple others.

And if you live near the border of a country or have impressive range there's part 97.117.

And there are interesting regulations for 3rd party traffic across international boundaries.

And there are pecuniary interest regulations, so no doing work or getting paid for it or having money change hands except under relatively weird and limited forms.

Its not as simple as crossing out a couple words in 97.113(A)(4) that prevent "messages encoded for the purpose of obscuring their meaning". That alone will not magically let wireless ISPs offer service pretending to be ham radio.
Under-35s in the UK face becoming permanent renters, warns thinktank
Dope scientific office hacks
you thinking too easy, as a project grows you actually need to run seperate and now you have a problem, either you group per component (something like addresshandler) so that you have

component/Controller
component/Model
component/View

Or you group by enity, something like customer_management, where you put all your customer related controllers:

customer_management/View1
customer_management/View2
customer_management/View3
customer_management/Controller1
customer_management/Controller2
customer_management/Controller3

now you introduce subfolders:
customer_management/Controller/Controller1
customer_management/Controller/Controller2
customer_management/Controller/Controller3
customer_management/Model/Model1
customer_management/Model/Model2
customer_management/Model/Model3

Both have their ups and downs and still are related to MVC.
However you've still outgrown MVC a little bit since now your so big that actually some things doesn't make sense, so you add a datalayer on top of your models or a service layer, etc. things get really messy now, when you don't change.
That's why programming is hard. Correctly or logical separation of code changes as your application evolves but people don't change it so they blame the separation concept.
Maintaining Consistency in Cross Functional Teams
The virtual tests are as good as the models behind it. How fast or detailed you get the wrong answer is irrelevant.

We need a military. All states do -- its part of their duty to their citizenry.

The problem in the US is that our hippy-run academia are driving the smart people out of jobs in the military (and police force for that matter), and it's putting us in a terrible position.

The only way to fix it is for smart people to start joining the military again.
(1) GPUs are special-purpose. They're very good for doing the same floating point calculations, in parallel, on each datum - i.e. if your data can be represented as a picture. They are not much help for processing, for example, large amounts of text, or doing radically different computations on different data.

(2) In any sufficiently complex program, completely different computations are theoretically capable of running concurrently. At the very least, you need multiple CPUs/cores for that, and then you have the problem of assigning tasks to the different cores. Conventional languages are designed around a single processor and do not support this.

(3) Memory access is a bottleneck, which because of caching favours data structures which are compact over those which are scattered over a wide area of memory (such as lists, trees, etc.)

(4) CPUs were once designed to run specific programming languages, e.g. Burroughs mainframes ran Algol natively, and Lisp Machines ran Lisp natively. The PDP-7 and its successor the PDP-11 influenced the design of C. Nowadays, CPUs are designed without apparent reference to the languages which will be compiled onto them, but implicitly favouring the popular languages (C, C++, Java).

So what's happening, and what is likely to happen in future unless we do something about it, is that programs/languages are being shoehorned into processors, rather than different processors being designed to run different types of programs and languages.
I meant both, in fact.
Part of me gets that you can't "kill" an asteroid, and that a giant rock moving towards the earth would just be turned into many smaller rocks moving towards the earth... but that said, I think this sort of thing still might be useful, and I'd love someone to explain to me otherwise.

First, small rocks more easily burn up on their way down. So smashing a big rock to pieces increases the surface area enough that maybe that can make it safer for humans.

Secondly, perhaps the energy hitting the big rock would 'deflect' it ever so slightly. Fire it early enough, and you can make it completely miss the earth.

Thoughts?
Sorry, I don't quite follow your intended meaning, but I will try to expand on my initial comment below.

If it no longer matters what language someone speaks, a language with fewer speakers than others wouldn't need to become extinct, as will happen without tech-aided interpretation. Of course, the viability of a language isn't solely connected to the ability for a native speaker to do commerce in it, but I would imagine it's nonetheless an important factor.

From Wikipedia's article 'Lists of endangered langauges':

"While there are somewhere around six or seven thousand languages on Earth today, about half of them have fewer than about 3,000 speakers. Experts predict that even in a conservative scenario, about half of today's languages will become extinct within the next fifty to one hundred years."

I would hope that even languages with 3,000 speakers could be 'saved', in the scenario I propose (assuming a Wikipedic-style worldwide effort - in conjunction with the tech sector, governments and linguists - to get as many languages as possible implemented).

I guess this works well for body shops (though I'm not sure that body shops work well for anyone), but I've never seen this theory play out well in practice.

Often I find it the other way round. You hire an Angular expert and, if he's junior, you spend the next 3 months unteaching him all the bad habits he's learnt, or, if he's a senior, spend the next 3 months arguing with him about who knows Angular better, all the while kissing goodbye to any maintainability your code base once had.

If you have simple, well factored code, a good coder can learn it quickly. In fact, juniors often get it faster because they don't have to map their limited understanding of "patterns" to the documentation on the website or the behaviour they see on the ground.

What gets me about all this is that web app development is just about the simplest programming you can do. It always staggers me the lengths otherwise intelligent developers (sorry, "software engineers") go to make their architectures as complicated as possible. I sometimes think it's because they're intelligent that they do this, perhaps out of fear of not being challenged?
Reason is quite simple. EPS is based on PostScript. PDF specification contains a subset of PostScript. Embedding EPS into PDF is trivial and yields high quality results. For a printing publication workflow having EPS files at hand saves a lot of time and problems.

SVG is nice too, just needs few more intermediate steps.

Unless you're printing money, there's no increase in supply. You're changing the distribution so there are small localized effects but overall prices should remain constant. Some will go up, some go down, but the top rate stays the same.
Thank you for stating the obvious.

Share information about terrorism suspects, arrest them, bring them to justice. Don't go all Rambo, shooting first, asking questions later. That only perpetuates terrorism - "you killed my innocent parents, I'm shall take my revenge" - and the circle of violence continues.

(Plus, it's already been proven that anyone shot is marked as an "Enemy Killed in Action" posthumously, just to cover the perpetrators asses.)
A decade or so ago, most people would have said similar things about Microsoft, but I get your point in general and certainly would only trust Bezos to be a tenacious competitor.

I think the big counterbalance now is competition – raising prices on AWS would be a boon for e.g. Azure – but I definitely wouldn't want to bet against abuse if one of Microsoft, Google, Rackspace, etc. dropped out. I'm sure Netflix has pretty good forecasts for how much it'd cost to move operations elsewhere as long as a good option exists.

The spirit of amateur radio rights in most jurisdictions is that of an open/public communications medium that any licensed person can join in on (it has twitter-like aspects in that sense). Education and technical investigations are also usually encouraged.

In that sense, encryption might be viewed at the very least as being selfish by some; and at the worst, some jurisdictions would start having to think differently about threats on ham radio bands.
I can't believe I'm actually defending the NSA here, but "we use metadata to kill people" does not mean "we ONLY use metadata and nothing else".
I would have thought this is pretty obvious. If you ingest too much ethanol you will get sick. The rhyme should really just be teaching you to moderate yourself. Don't start drinking low alcohol concentrations and then move to high concentration alcohol after your judgement has been impaired. Some alcohol may give certain individuals worse hangovers if they contain tannins and other items that they do not tolerate, but if you drink too much alcohol in any form, you will get sick.

Well, yes, the only 80% figure I can find on the article is the number of developers that can't stand it. Anyway, development practices are so bad that it does not look unusual - neither for developers breaking down, nor for project failures. But I doubt the number is really that low, there's a strong selection bias acting there.

Anyway, being pushed as the new Agile is fitting.

Impact energy would rise with the cube of the diameter, I guess. So splitting up one large asteroid into a swarm of smaller ones is desirable. With any luck, some of the debris would even miss.

The bigger problem is that that kind of missile system can be easily weaponized (China and the US have successfully tested satellite killers and the USSR maybe too), so simply enhancing ICBMs for that without international oversight is problematic.

Thought that it'd be interesting to compare the usage numbers of a few chat networks, since this article missed a few:

IRC - 1 million users around "peak" in 2003 (I don't actually know if this was the peak, but couldn't find numbers prior to 2003) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat)

RC usage has been declining since 2003, losing 60% of its users (from 1 million to about 400,000 in 2014) and half of its channels (from half a million in 2003).

Slack - 1 million users as of last year (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_(software))

In 2015, Slack passed more than a million daily active users.

Kik - 240 million users as of last year (http://arstechnica.com/business/2016/02/the-fall-and-rise-an...)

With an updated figure of 240 million users...

WeChat - 570 million users as of last year (http://arstechnica.com/business/2016/02/the-fall-and-rise-an...)

As of September 2015 there are now more than 570 million people on WeChat’s network...
Nah I think that's the crux of the issue. You're saying you go on dates, like taking someone out for dinner, in order to work out if you want a relationship with them I'm saying in the EU that it seems weird to us and overly personal to be going out for dinner alone with someone, when you don't have an existing romantic relationship with them. You'd normally get to that stage first, and then start going on dates. So you can see how multiple dating (if that's a real thing in the US or just telly), seems fucked up.
