Genetic Coding
Will Genetic coding be the next future of tech?
That'd be great to have and I think we'll see one in the future. No idea about the timeframe though.
I don't know where you got the impression that he got the impression that he was doing any of this with the intention of putting it on production.
nvAlt plus SimpeNote are great.
Yes, I did, and I wrote up what happened at InfoQ. Incidentally the video stream is still available and I've linked to it from the news piece, so if you want to watch it again you can do so.

Note also that in the debate the FBI indicated that there were another 170+ phones that they'd like to use the backdoor on. So while they may only be able get Apple to create this software for this case, once it is built they'll just use standard subpoenas to get them to deliver it for each of the hundreds of additional phones on request.

http://www.infoq.com/news/2016/03/apple-fbi-congress

[edit] in the video the FBI has the first hour and a half, then there's a half hour recess, then Apple's lawyer and technical expert step in around the 2h mark. There's a great bit from the FBI around 20 mins in where they admit resetting the password on the iCloud account was not a sensible move.
When these moments of clarity arise I immediately open Simplenote[0] and type it down (unless im busy and forgets it).

In the GGP post he mentions being "down to just RAID5", so presumably he was at RAID6.

(Bookmarking this entire thread for much RAID wisdom.)
3. is the reason why NGinX is the recommended proxy in front of webapps with scarce parallelism (for example Ruby with Unicorn; see http://unicorn.bogomips.org/PHILOSOPHY.html for an explanation) when "slow clients" are to be expected. NGinX is protecting the webapp from blocked workers by slow clients and Outlook Webmail seems to behave just like one. I don't know by heart how to tune this behavior if one wants to avoid it but this property is the main reason we use NGinX.
Awesome work @Himangshu.
I think you have different definitions of failure. The previous person seems to claim it meant the disk was dead (i.e. no read works) while you seem to claim that it means an error caught by low level formatting.

Those scrubs do nothing to catch errors that the drives do not report such as misdirected writes. Consequently, there is no correct way to setup RAID in a way that makes dats safe. A check summing filesystem such as ZFS would handle this without a problem though.
Awesome work @Himangshu

Thank you Sir. Your feedback is appreciated and I'll implement it soon.
In addition to what leereves mentions, preferences could be different because of biology also in a different way. Knowing that their child-bearing period is quite limited, women rationally overweight "having children" and underweight "having a great career" in their youth, compared to men, who can work their ass off for 20 years, and still easily have kids afterwards. On other words, it's easier for men to "have it all" than for women (I don't agree with the values expressed by this saying, but I'm guessing many people do).

I could run IBM, Yahoo and Nokia to the ground for penny on the dollar that the corresponding executives made/are making.

You don't need to pay me Elop level money to destroy something like Nokia - I would happily do it for 100K per year. I may not do it as well, and could probably have the unfortunate success story here and there. But I am capable - just give me a chance.
But to use those factual physical differences as a way to explain (read: justify) archaic, false beliefs about other differences between men and women? Yeah, that's pretty sexist.
if you need to lift that much weight, you'll be using a crane, in which case your strength is a moot point.

Assuming strength does matter for loading/unloading, the real culprit is how truckers are paid, not the strength of the driver.
> Wouldn't it be faster to remove that costly ternary conditional operator by zeroing out the first bit?

No, that wouldn't work for two's-complement numbers [1], only for sign-magnitude numbers (like IEEE floating-point numbers). For example, the value -2 is stored as 11111110 (in an 8-bit signed integer); setting the most significant bit to 0 would result in 01111110, or 126 in decimal.

It is just an idea, but the idea is that you would only pay out after the interview process. If you actually get good people applying then your job would be to try and attract them to come and work with you. Sure some would just be in it for the money, but as long as you attract some serious people then it would be worth it.
RAID 5 is terrible with 4K random IO. I know guys who measured >1 million IOPS with MD RAID 0 and then switched to MD RAID 5 only to have performance drop from read-modify-write overhead. They could not believe that RAID 5 was the cause.

>OSC researchers tried to reproduce an American study that dealt with Stanford University students’ attitudes toward affirmative action policies by using Dutch students at the University of Amsterdam.

If they do conclude things on "students" based on this study, then reproducing it on Dutch students is perfectly fine. If they did conclude something on "Stanford University students", then it is a bad reproduction. You see, there's a very good justification there, that you can interpret as subtyping, or the liskov substitution principle.

>'low reproducability' != 'unethical'

This is akin to saying "ok there's this theorem, but I won't give proof, just a bogus heuristic argument", or even worse, saying "that person is guilty but I won't justify why". Both these behaviors are unacceptable. Why would "social sciences" be above that?

> or 'crisis'

A field is filled of politically oriented baseless claims, but this is not a crisis, just another day in Oceania.

That said, if the meta-study was sloppy, then it still justifies that research standards should have been upped a while ago; the "terrible"" meta-study was accepted precisely because terrible papers are accepted in the first place.
What would you have liked to see in a discussion of the subject?
Yes I agree. It might be possible to get around the unethical company problem by outsourcing the cash distribution to an outside organisation.
Note that this has little to do with hill-climbing algorithms and much with A/B testing. Though there is an overlap in the problems both face.

I wonder if algorithmic solutions like randome restart or simulated annealing could improve the outcome of A/B testing, too.
I'd expect that PR or Legal or Compliance would know more about this if they routinely search things they anticipate having to defend against.

BTW all of what you described is not unique to women. I have at least few friends that don't negotiate, don't seek alternative offers and because of that are disadvantaged when it comes to earnings. Periodic pay rise is just a device to dissuade employees from seeking their market value and appropriate compensation. The main reason for its existence is to profit from what happened to you.
Not if there is bug in the soundness.
The product is a methodology that helps makers and managers align their expectations and plans giving makers more time in flow and managers better overview.

When you use the app/methodology you get less stress, less chaos, more creativity and better planning leading to more revenue and better quality of your products.

One user said "it's like scrum, just more humane"

You would pay for it if you wanted more transparency and improved communication between you, your co-founders, your employees and your customers.

It is also an app that supports the methodology, it currently integrates with Jira, and we are working on Asana and TeamWork.

I think the data's pretty unequivocal about it affecting the IQ of the baby.

This study's *1 got the result down to 7 points increase for 90% of babies when breastfed, whereas the figure I hear thrown around most often is 4 points. That's definitely not insignificant! I don't know about the strength of the data around immune systems.

> I would have said this too a few years ago, but Go is a huge counterexample.

I've been wondering about this ever since Go came out. If I recall correctly, LLVM was already a viable option back then.

The latest release of Go earlier this week featured a pretty big revamp of their backend with a new SSA-based middle/backend. I wonder how much work went into that and could they have achieved that faster had they been on LLVM since day 1.
I would absolutely LOVE your feedback - let me know how to contact you or reach out to me at anders(at)timeblock.com

Thank you so much for offering your help!
We already have a stable version. The only breaking changes we are seeing are soundness-related bugfixes, and crates stop compiling because they rely on buggy behaviour.
I don't think so.

The advantage of C++ is that it borrows C's syntax. You can't beat the simplicity of C's syntax. I don't really care about C++ backward compatibility with C, but so far, when I read go, rust, and sometimes D, it looks alien and a little too complex to me.

Not saying C++ templates are good enough, but I think there are not many languages out there with a concise, limited syntax like C or python. Being easy to read and easy to learn is the most important aspect of a programming language. There is python, which really excels in this particular aspect of what makes C great, but I can't really think of any other language which is as much easy to read or comes close.

D is a good contender, but not everybody needs high level, multi paradigm and speed, and are ready to learn something new, especially when you can't reuse C++ libraries.
Did they explain why they don't think it's a problem?
I was writing a deployment script and had written './setub.sh' instead of './setup.sh'. Of course when testing it on the command line I wrote the latter. It took 3 hours of debugging, for me to finally see the error.
i remember the times when RAM of this speed was something to brag about... guess i'm getting old.
this is good news of course, although largely irrelevant since almost no women bother with programming.
I have a similar setup, but I actually alias the go command itself so I don't have to type anything special.

This is why bridge always seemed stupid to me: You're not allowed to communicate with your partner, but you are allowed to communicate through card plays, but then you aren't allowed to have secret communication through card plays (you have to tell your opponants your communication system)...

It's artificial and ridiculous. Given how easy it is to secretly communicate you're basically trusting people not to cheat.

That's a consumer SSD. The 16TB looks like an enterprise SSD (much higher endurance).
Other question: do you think that writing a compiler that only work with C++14 or 17, might compile code faster ? Or will C++ always be slow to compile ?

I'm still wondering what makes go so fast to compile.

My observations are the opposite. Most high-earners I know are men, so if I wanted to be a stay-at-home dad, I would have a hard time finding a high-earning partner (so the choice shifts from "who stays ar home" to "do we live a poor or middle-class lifestyle").

So you think it is plain stupid to pause your career so that you can breastfeed your kids? Obviously kids grow up without breastfeeding, although that alone doesn't tell us much - kids tend to grow up no matter what you do, and in some cases we probably simply don't know how to measure the impact of their experiences as toddlers.

Anyway - why can't the preference to breastfeed at least be accepted? Clearly some parents make that choice, and it shows in the numbers. As a result of a choice, not because of discrimination.
Using company resource for side project sometimes could be violation of the company IP, giving that the company / organization is particular about it.

This is a very interesting angle of discussion, really

But I think this is partially their fault as well

A Nuclear plant engineer, while specialized in some element of that plant (and there are many elements, in civil, mechanical, chemical engineering) has knowledge that's applicable in a lot of different situations

Were the Automobile engineers content of designing more of the same poorly constructed vehicles? While the ICE is old technology I can't imagine the things that could come out of it if they really invested in rethinking it (also other parts like the drivetrain)

> But they're also laden with a tremendous amount of arcane knowledge, that, unfortunately, gets in the way of learning new skills.

That's true. But I think it's also a matter of attitude

You know, I can be the best specialist in some technology, let's say: installing Oracle, or even better, let's say I'm a top notch Golang programmer today

Tomorrow Golang won't exist, or won't be relevant. I am SURE of this

> But really, it's quite crushing. You may not understand it now, but you almost certainly will, eventually.

Yeah, I agree
And I was shocked when Seagate announced a 8TB HDD for $200..
They're not hiring you. They're contracting you for your services through an independent company (that you'd own). There's a reason why contractors charge more than employees - to cover all the costs you're finding out about now. If you're contracting at normal employee wages then, financially speaking, you're getting a pretty bad deal. That doesn't necessarily make it bad job though - if it's something you really want to do then it could still be worthwhile.
Anecdotal of course, but El Cap really did solve all of the instability and weirdness I had with Yosemite. I went from rebooting once a week due to random slowdowns (typing lag), graphical glitches or freezes back to rebooting only when there was an OS update.

AirDrop still doesn't work though...

Are you thinking of Common Lisp's conditions/handlers/restarts? I've never programmed in Common Lisp but have always been intrigued by this idea.

> This is in sharp contrast to Maven or others where build artifacts can exist entirely outside of the expectation of use in the build chain

Ok, I think I understand now. So you'd like to be able to use "prebuilt" dependencies in Go (delivered like a .so in C++ or a .jar in Java)?

Honestly, the compilation is so quick, and the advantages of a statically linked executable are so great, that I have trouble imagining why I would want that. In Go, instead of saving the dependency as a .jar file (for example), I just saved the dependency source in the `vendor` directory. For the record, this is exactly what big projects like Chromium do in C++.

It's not actually the hardest job in the world, by a long stretch. For starters, look at jobs that actively put your life at risk. Giving birth is very risky, too, but once the baby is out I think the risks go way down - however, the riskiness of giving birth is part of why women are given the privilege to get the less strenuous stay at home work and not having to go out as lumberjacks to earn a living. On the downside I suspect the riskiness of birth is also a reason why less women get access to education: if you can only afford to send some of your kids to school, it makes more economic sense to send the kids with the higher survival rate. In some countries one in ten women die from pregnancy.

The difference is that a woman has to take time off (for health reasons), whereas the man can take time off. Economically, there is a penalty for taking time off (lower salary, lower skills, lower future earnings), its economically rational to not take time off. But only a man can make that choice.

That's a very narrow description of a DAW. OP was specifically talking about the piano roll - a feature that obviously differs from traditional notation but is still very much related since both aim to achieve the same goal.

A DAW surely isn't limited to sample-based arrangements. In that light your description of a DAW isn't wrong, but very much unrelated to the point OP was trying to make.
Attacking the EFF's argument more directly, every court order sent to Apple in the past compelled actual speech in forcing Apple to tell an employee to cooperate with the order, regardless of whether Apple agreed with that speech. The courts have put common-sense limits on free speech (e.g., Oliver Wendell Holmes's "falsely shouting fire in a theatre"), and this looks like an obvious case of such a limit.
I strongly doubt that! Josh knows the terminology. It was surly just an oversight.
Same here (bugmenot account). I think its the nature of hypertext itself what catalyses an inherent condition. Somehow like the immediate feedback of slot machines contributes to gamble addiction. Has anyone tried nootropics or any other substance, to help keep focused on one thing? At least for as long enough to not be considered "binge learning"...
The galling thing is that this really should have been a much smaller problem, since the health issue with lead paint has been known since the early 20th century. Many countries started banning it for interior use around then, e.g. France in 1909, and the UK in 1926. The US eventually did so too, but not until 1978, meaning that a whole bunch of post-WW2 buildings were painted with lead-containing paint, when that was already well known to be a bad idea by that time. There would still be some old residences with lead paint even if it had been phased out in the 1920s, but the numbers would have been much lower.

(Lead pipes have a similar history, phased out in many countries by the 1910s-20s, but installed in the US up until the 1960s.)
There is something wrong with your connection; where are you? I'm in Suzhou, I have no problem maxing out my connection downloading things outside of the GFW.

It may very well be that the software industry needs a more formal structure of Professional Engineers like the rest of the applied sciences / engineering disciplines have.
