Rust could be the future, but I just don't see it for Kotlin. Scala's not perfect, but moving to Kotlin leaves a lot on the table. It reminds me of Swift in the way that it left out a lot of Scala at the outset, but appears to be slowly growing Scala-like functionality. At some point, I'm like, maybe life would be better if people just used Scala or languages that attempt to build on its techniques, rather than scale them back.
However, observing people on psychedelics with fMRIs does not match with that.

This study would appear to disagree:
http://www.pnas.org/content/109/6/2138

Decreased activity in the ACC/medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was a consistent finding and the magnitude of this decrease predicted the intensity of the subjective effects. Based on these results, a seed-based pharmaco-physiological interaction/functional connectivity analysis was performed using a medial prefrontal seed. Psilocybin caused a significant decrease in the positive coupling between the mPFC and PCC. These results strongly imply that the subjective effects of psychedelic drugs are caused by decreased activity and connectivity in the brain's key connector hubs, enabling a state of unconstrained cognition.

As a thought experiment, take the issue of abortion. GP is telling me that certainly either "Abortions should be allowed because of the mother's rights" or "Abortions should not be allowed because of the unborn child's rights" is WRONG. Tell me how anyone could possibly create an "experiment" which would result in a meaningful answer. How would you measure the morality and goodness of the event in a way that everyone could agree upon? Do you see the problem?

The problem here is that biological and neurological research has a long way to go to resolve the question after what week of pregnancy what level of consciousness or intellectual capacity is there. So at the moment there is no way to answer this question in an acceptable way.

It goes way beyond that, all elites of all nations are afraid of their publics and are basically already implementing soft versions of martial law behind the scenes.

The media being complicit.

You should, the elite are locking down the planet and most people are too stupid and uninformed. Most won't believe it because it goes against belief in corporate ideology.

The (mass surveillance) by the NSA and abuse by law enforcement is just more part and parcel of state suppression of dissent against corporate interests.

The tech IncludeOS builds on had a lot more than that in its lifetime. No telling what IncludeOS will have once people start digging into it. There's an order of magnitude difference in host compromises between safe and unsafe code. That's the point.

The language also has advantages in further analysis (eg type system), safe extension, and maintenance. So, even an apples to oranges comparison of the two on size looks in Ocaml's favor as you get more for you KB. :)

But China/Iran/Russia/whereever could say: "You did it for the FBI, so you need to do it for us, too."

And the FBI could say: "You did it in that last case, so you need to do it in these other cases too."

And every local podunk sheriff in any jurisdiction could do the same thing, and there would be no end to Apple having to fight these things or do this work.

Not to mention that its customers would start getting harmed in countries where leaks of your private information can lead to your death.

I get what you mean, but I guess calling it the "C Standard Library" is really a historical holdover from times when the entire system was written only in C (with the exception of a smattering of assembly). In the current context it should probably be called the "System Standard Library" and when you consider it like that, a system standard library in another language isn't all that weird. They all compile down to machine code anyway, so the Python-Perl analogy doesn't quite match.

I agree that they are emergent behaviors between multiple systems. I am claiming that these individual components can capture knowledge of other components via strong type systems, and thereby eliminate race conditions. Can you explain why this is untrue?

>Your attitude isn't just out of touch with reality, it's somewhere between 'callous and unsympathetic' and 'sociopathic.'

As is needed of any soldier killing a guy who doesn't want to be there just as much as they don't. Probably the most sociopathic thing I did today was I just ate a Butterfingers candy bar, made by Nestle, and thus likely involved child slavery, which I funded by buying the candy bar. But I do think my informed apathy is a step up from ignorant bliss.

>Roughly 95% of the people who work in crappy low-wage jobs like fast food or call centers already hate their jobs. They already hate what their employers tell them they have to do. They aren't there because they love cold calling strangers or asking you to upgrade your meal by 1000 calories, they're there because they need a paycheck and have little other alternative.

And if their work isn't a net harm for me, I'll try try to make their day more pleasant. But when I'm at the local cell store again because another family member was lied to about their contract, or when you just interrupted my concentration while solving some problem to try to get me to sign up for some service that will be near impossible to cancel and which comes with more fine print than my employment contract, then I am not going to excuse you just because you did such for money.

>Taking the stance of 'we should torture these people as much as possible because we don't have access to their employers' is bad enough, but to smugly claim that it's really for their own good and the good of society is frankly disturbing.

It would be interesting if we had "virtual countries" where you could choose among the tradeoffs for yourself. I suppose the difficulty would be handling the interactions between each person's virtual country, but the idea that everyone signs up for a different set of laws and freedoms has interesting implications.

Brian McKenna is a public figure who people could easily have encountered in other ways.

In my experience many functional programmers, myself included, do generalize where they don't need to (e.g. writing a function to accept any F[_]: Foldable when it's only ever called with List). At which point asking them to justify the abstraction is entirely justified. Conversely in cases where fancy functional techniques really are improving maintainability it's usually pretty easy to demonstrate this by comparing two implementations side by side.
You have a good point in the first sentence. They're probably going to run into trouble. Might be worth it in the long run but I see stuff happening.

That said, clean-slate TCP/IP from separation kernel vendors and Secure64's DNS resisted attack much better than common stacks with no failures detected even under high, random load. So, it can go the other way, too.
Please do not confuse what you see on TV with face to face political party functions.

I've been invited to speak to a fair variety of Green, Socialist, Democratic, Republican, Libertarian and non-partisan events. There are definitely cultural differences.

My Republican hosts have always run polite, organized, on time meetings. If you have the mic, everyone is listening to you.

Whereas my own peeps, the Democrats, run meetings quite a bit more loosely. People interrupt, there's a lot of shushing, arguing over the rules, people chatting in the aisles, etc. Mostly good natured, but it sometimes drives people like me nuts.

I can't speak to the Tea Party, Occupy, BLM efforts, since those are after my time. But I imagine they're not so different from their precursors, because people are people.

Sure, it's (a little) tricky to tell if a candy has marijuana in it, especially for a kid. The solution is simple, just don't leave your pot candy laying around for kids!!!

If I had kids, had pot candy, and lived in CO, I'd have a small lockbox/safe in the top of my closet with the candies in there... and/or simply have other forms of edibles that were less attractive to kids.
I have traveled some for work over my career, but I never paid any attention to any of these programs or miles or anything like that. I probably missed out on a free flight at some point, but the thought of keeping track of those things seems tedious and dreadful. The whole culture of travel is like that really, parsing the tiny differences between anonymous airports and roughly-identical airlines. People become obsessed with checking in online exactly 24 hours in advance, etc. Expending effort for the tiniest, tiniest morsels of difference and succor in an overall terrible experience. It's understandable of course, but I just accept that it's all bad and try to forget about it as soon as it's over.

Becoming a kick-ass programmer: actionable advice
Fixed this! I need to index more sites...
At first i thought "aha! yes, how obvious.", but then i thought about how one might measure an angle. i would use a protractor. but how is a protractor calibrated? surely the angles determine a relationship between commensurable quantities, and a protractor is calibrated by performing measurements on lengths held at angles and measuring the observed relationship. can one measure an angle directly without performing an experiment on commensurate lengths? a protractor only works because a measurement of an angle can be transported and remain the same (to an approximation). that's a nontrivial fact that i took for granted, but that's really what a protractor does: it is the stored result of a bunch of experiments to determine angles. those experiments must have been done using observations of dimensional quantities.

i would like an example of an experiment that directly measures a dimensionless quantity without inferring it from direct measurements of dimensional quantities. it's just a curiosity.

Against your own government you have at least some amount of leverage, be that through courts or legal system or by supporting a political movement. Against a foreign government you're out of options. There is no feasible way a german citizen can appeal an act of the american administration.
I've occasionally gotten to a lounge access tier, but I've never used it. What's the benefit? I typically don't want to get to the airport earlier than I have to, and once you're at that level, security and boarding are a breeze.

I don't fly internationally much, so most of my flights are direct. Is it mostly for layovers?
I agree that my words were poorly phrased. I wanted to communicate that the IPCC report is really the best information we have, and an incredible amount of effort went into ensuring the information in the report is solid.

Yes, but everyone knows this and this has been gone over again and again and everyone who studies this stuff and understands the science agrees with the report. This isn't a couple yahoos with a copy of SimEarth, this is almost every single climate scientist on the planet.
Terrorism is dwarfed by gang violence and drug violence in the US in term of casualties. Terrorism is like the buzz of a mosquito. The psychological impact is disproportionate to the actual impact and law enforcement agencies are exploiting this buzz. They are labeling any controversial law "anti-terrorist", presenting any controversial case as an "anti-terrorist" case, etc... We should not over-react the other way but we should simply tell them "no". In a free country, two individuals should be able to have a private conversation without the State listening and recording.
Even better, just get an American Express Platinum Card. It'll give you Global Entry (with Precheck), Priority Pass membership, and $200 in airline credit.
Another potential source of inspiration is Musl: http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/network/getaddri...
If you're a frequent flier you will save a hell of a lot more than $1067 on the free upgrades alone.

TSA Precheck is rapidly becoming worth less and less, if it continues at this rate it will be the regular lines in a year or two. When grandma who flies once every 2 years can get it, it ruins the entire point. I've switched back to regular priority lines at some airports these days as they are faster.

The #1 perk any frequent flier will tell you matters the most is having competent people who pick up the phone instantly during IRROPS (e.g. weather/flight problems). Simply using this once a year trivially pays for itself by putting you so far ahead of the regular queue I still get amazed sometimes. Plus having them available for wonky changes/etc. due to rapidly changing schedules is great - 90% of the time they simply waive change fees for me.

I agree that the programs are becoming pretty gutted, but still barely hold enough value for me to keep "loyal" to my main airline. The experience flying Elite with them vs. plebe on other domestic carriers is night and day.
Pattern matching is awesome, and ML definitely gets the credit here for putting it into practice, but matching is arguably not even part of the functional paradigm. Lots of non-functional languages could greatly benefit from pattern matching and sum types.

And indeed, when you look at a language like Nim and Swift, that's exactly what happened. Rust, too, although Rust is arguably a functional language.

That rule is about individual ad units in adsense. A single adsense "unit" can (and very routinely does) include multiple adwords ads.

This isn't adsense, so they don't really need to follow those rules (and wouldn't need to anyway because they are the rulemakers).

But even aside from that, in a way they just made a current "block" of ads larger.

To be clear I'm saying I don't believe HFT benefits anyone? If there are any papers you know about showing how it's beneficial to allocating capital efficiently I'd love to see them. I don't understand how it can work to do this apart from being some kind of bizarre capitalist arms race...
The difference is that the NSA is legally allowed to intercept ALL traffic and access ALL data whereas the "Bundestrojaner" has to meet very tight regulations to be deployed and can only be deployed individually.

The concern with the NSA is dragnet surveillance. The concern with the Bundestrojaner is pinpoint surveillance (plus the high risk of third party abuse of infected systems and the chance of infecting unrelated systems).
Unless you have very high status, you're paying for TSA Precheck and (domestic) lounge access out of pocket. I'm not sure what exactly the status of Economy Plus is if you don't get it with status. I know you pay for it but you may not be able to pick preferred seating on United at the time of booking.
Well the difference is the solidity of the premise.

Scientific first principles are not necessarily objectively true but they are the best we know of. I.e. as far as we collectively know this is the first principle.

This vs. I believe this and I am going to reason from here. Which is much more likely to be subjective.

If anything, the low level flunky has far more to lose than just a pay check, so if anything, their behavior would be more justified (if you go with the logic).
