That was the same thought I had when I read through the ring buffer section.

One glaring problem in the Golang space is the memory model doesn't offer Happens-Before guarantees. I wrote a project called Go-Disruptor (github.com/smartystreets/go-disruptor) and found that I can't guarantee ordering of writes and reads between threads which is absolutely critical for a ring buffer implementation.

No one is maintaining state by constantly clobbering namespace level variables in Clojure, though. What actually comes into play are ways the language and standard library encourages passing data around and manipulating it, which in Clojure is as immutable as you'll find in any language.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was more possible to make money on the Windows side - not so much with Windows Phone as with Windows Universal apps on both the Desktop and Mobile Windows Store.

The ending of "Project Astoria" that could have let some Android apps run on Windows 10 Mobile has undoubtedly hurt Windows Phone because of the dearth of good apps, but that same lack means that a quality application could still be a smallish fish in a small pond rather than a minnow in a large lake - even with the disparity in adoption 1% of the smartphone market is a significant number of devices. If an app is also something that's viable as a desktop or tablet app, that may provide enough of a larger market over time to keep some folks in business.

I came across this explanation on StackExchange on the performance penalties with ARC:

>As for performance both have performance penalties. Automatic reference counting delivers a more consistent performance, no pauses, but slows down your application as a whole as every assignment of an object to a variable, every deallocation of an object, etc, will need an associated incrementation/decrementation of the reference counter, and taking care of reassigning the weak references and calling each destructor of each object being deallocated. GC does not have the performance penalty of ARC when dealing with object references however it incurs pauses while it is collecting garbage (rendering unusable for real-time processing systems) and requires a large memory space in order for it to function effectively such that it is not forced to run, thus pausing execution, too often.

>As you can see both have their own advantages and disadvantages, there is no clear cut ARC is better or GC is better, both are compromises.

>PS: ARC also becomes problematic when objects are shared across multiple threads requiring atomic incrementation/decrementation of the reference counter, which itself presents a whole new array of complexities and problems.
SES is pretty bare bones, and has had recurring issues with IP reputation management. It's well suited for integration but there are no straightforward simple APIs or dashboards as with Mandrill/SendGrid etc.
RSUs refresh, or employees go to another employer for new RSUs.
This probably doesn't affect the argument one way or the other, but in Germany, if some company employs you, and you write some code as part of your work for that company, AFAIK, copyright for that code automatically belongs to the company.

There are even cases where copyright for code you write after leaving the company could be considered to belong to that company.

I definitely agree that quality doesn't have to be a boolean, and it also doesn't have to be a loaded term like the author seems to believe.

I have a lot of discussions at work that end with something like "we all agree that X would be the quality/elegant/long-term solution, but we don't have time to do X right now, so we'll do the hacky solution Y until we have time to implement X." These are good decisions! The immediate problem gets solved fast, and we've identified a really good elegant solution and given ourselves enough time to implement it.
So, 5 exact matches and 5 related pages is considered poor result quality?
Poor is not a 'moral justification' for anything. I believe in open access, but I heed the if 'I can justify a lie, I can justify murder', the proverbial 'slippery slope' of ethics. I grew up poor, and I did not use it as a justification to breech any of my moral principles. While I agree the exorbitant pricing, and pay walling do not benefit the world, do not develop newer business models as technology progresses, I also recognize that even running a server out of my closet costs money - the server, electricity, etc... I always wonder how the information for free model works? Bitcoin mining consumes a lot of electricity; it's not just a few bits on an energy-free system.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. 'rhetorical device' is a very broad category. Can you explain if you think that's good or bad, and why?

dsp1234 made an argument that X, though not true, would lead to Y bad thing. I agree that X is not true, but object strongly to the idea that it would lead to Y.

Are you pointing out that the X->Y argument is only for effect, because X is false? I am aware of that, and I disagree with the effect, because I don't think X->Y is at all plausible. So I made a comment.
Looks like "Okusi Associates" have done what you suggest and bought most words ending in "id" - it costs less than 3USD/year. Pity.

It's as though government officials are perfectly happy with keeping their heads in the sand - they can't grasp (or more probably won't ) the fact that a security hole USA vulnerability, and it will be exploited.

And that exploit will be worked on from hour one.
This cant be right (but if it is, they're morons). In this scenario, we'll need a package for millions of members. With the rough math I just did, this would make our monthly Mailchimp bill a larger cost for us than our AWS accounts monthly cost. That would be insane...

RabbitMQ and CouchDB are written Erlang; Much of Ericsson's telephony infrastructure runs it; various companies in their industry like TMobile and Motorola use it.
I assume performance is one of the main reasons that C/C++ are still relevant today, and the reason why modern languages like Swift and Go can't be as fast is because of their "runtime" software layer which makes their fancy features possible.

My honest if somewhat noobish question is: Why isn't support for features like type safety and so on being incorporated into CPUs themselves, like they did with SIMD instruction sets?

I mean, if so many languages require "runtimes" now, why haven't the features that are common across those runtimes, been factored out into hardware already?

Even if it does become an election issues, we know the Dems are for it and from tonights Republican debate and their stance on Apple, I'm pretty sure its safe to say they also support the NSA surveillance initiatives.

Yes, sum(whatever) is fine. What is "whatever"? If it's the common case of two operands, then I don't think you're making a point against a + b.

And you don't think (sum (mul a (minus b c)) d), or (+ (* a (- b c)) d) for that matter, is more readable than a * (b-c) + d, do you?

> There are in fact, a lot of uses of sums and products, so after a while, they are pretty naturally.

I think you are talking about summing up a collection (like, an array, a matrix, etc.) as opposed to building an expression tree. Of course, sum(myIntList) is just fine. That's a whole different story.

There are also the rare cases where you have to sum, like 6 integers. (sum a b c d e f) might not be worse than a + b + c + d + e + f. But that's by far not the common case in most problem domains. The common case is like a*(b-c) + d.

But that aside - your reply has nothing to do with what the studies I shared demonstrated: Emotional awareness is teachable. Your idea that it isn't seems entirely based on your personal assumptions. (If you have actual evidence, please share)

As for "emotional honesty" - that's pretty much the same as honesty, no? There's no emotional component to it.

Then why bother setting up any encryption at all? Why not just call the Internet an "anonymous network" and be done with it?

It's clear there is some difference between "expectation" and "informed expectation." If there were no distinction, then claiming you expected privacy in any situation would be legally sufficient to eliminate evidence collected while "violating" your expectation.

Oh please, even the author of the CDDL license states that this is so (Danese Cooper).

And it's not as if that admission was ever needed, were you even around back then ?

Solaris was being killed in the market by Linux, Sun decided to go open source in an effort to better compete with Linux, but there was NO way that they would give away their prized technology (ZFS, DTrace) under a license which would allow their main competitor to whom they were losing, to integrate said technology.

Hence CDDL, GPLv2 incompatible.
Unfortunately, jumping doesn't work for me and I can't continue! Neat concept, though.
The median error is 1100 km. Which is better than that. But I agree with you that this is nothing to worry about. I skimmed through the paper and thought "wow that's really interesting it can beat humans and get results that good", but it's not so good that it's a significant leak of privacy. Like the top comments seem to be scared about.

The dataset might be a little biased though. I wonder how many pictures are just of people's faces, or food, or random indoor scenes. It's much more difficult to detect a location from such an image. How good are the results if you exclude the images that don't have any clues at all?

As I understand it, the algorithm can identify common types of plants unique to different regions, or architectural features, or popularity of types of cars. So an outdoor photo is more likely to be recognized. But I'm not 100% sure what features it's using. In fact the creators don't even know!

My experience has been somehow similar.

What I think these organizations mostly lack is a clear incentive structure. Money flows in on one end and is spent on... stuff.

There's not a strong incentive for tracking performance or impact. If you spent the money, got something out of it and didn't kill anybody in the process, you're gold. Actually, most non-profits I've worked with are very averse to the idea of measuring the impact of their activities.

There's also the problem of failure; most just don't recognize failure as a necessary step to success. I regularly see complete failures being spun into successes. The very admission of failure is enough to get you fired or shunned.

I'm actually looking at what comes out of YC (e.g. Watsi, Bayes Impact) to see if a new model of non-profits emerges, one that moves fast and embraces result-driven approaches.
I think Gandhi's effort was also about arousing a moral sense (shame, guilt, questioning) in the oppressor's rank-and-file... But that works better when there are a large number of them who are not super-committed to beating innocent people.

It becomes much harder when the oppressors can use a small and dedicated mobile murder-force.

>> Reading "sum" "mul" etc. takes longer than if you have visual anchors like * +.

> Citation for this? IMO it's exactly the opposite, but I may be wrong. Some kind of reference would be nice.

I know it from myself and don't think I have to to provide evidence that by large most people work like this. Reading and interpreting text is just WAY more complex a process and thus much slower than associating a shape with a meaning.

For example, application designers have known for a long time that it's important to build a symbolic language (icons etc) because that's just way faster (once you have learned what the symbol means, for example with the help of a tooltip).

The leadership does not believe in the Founding Fathers or the Constitution in the way Americans would like. At best they see it as a set of rules made by people just like themselves that they can adjust and change to meet the needs of the times. And that usually entails more control over the ever out of control masses, according to their perceptions.

The NSA or analogue in the late 1700s in the time of the Founding Fathers would probably lead to a revolution. The NSA of today is common news and no one cares that someone is always listening, not might be but is (it's being recorded somewhere), to everything they type or do and might share that with people who are literally out to get you if it's convenient to do so.

Ultimately this is to create a further atmosphere of fear, anxiety, and paranoia about anything you might do or say that could come back to haunt you later... to protect the government's fear, anxiety, and paranoia that the citizens are always doing something wrong and need to be found out.

Nefarious plans are always being hatched that can be prevented if the right agency just knew what everyone was doing at all times. And the specter of the panopticon keeps everyone from even contemplating doing anything wrong.

And maybe they are not wrong. But I hate living in a paranoid world like that, which can make people mentally ill if they think about it too much. The scene from the Simpson where Bart is on Focusyn comes to mind.
Very interesting, I hope you are not in the United States. I doubt the CFTC would take too kindly to this especially since they are binary options. Good luck!
GlusterFS developer here. Sure, we have bugs just like anybody else. So do you. Nonetheless, just saying that GlusterFS replication "is not split-brain safe" is FUD. Neither is yours, not 100%. Likewise, "static assignment" is simply not true. We move files around to rebalance capacity, we have tiering, and users can explicitly place a file on a particular node (though the mechanisms for that are clunky and poorly documented). I've been fair and even complimentary toward XtreemFS in many blog posts and public appearances. I'd appreciate the same honesty and courtesy in return.
