> This doesn't really need to be an "emacs vs. vim" or "tabs vs. spaces"-type dichotomy: wget and curl do different things well and there's no reason why both shouldn't coexist in one's workflow.

Totally agree. I love curl for testing API request/responses manually. It's usually a huge part of navigating my way around a new API that doesn't have a client library available for whatever language I'm using at that time.

I also use it for weird requests that need special headers or authentication.

Wget is the first thing I turn to when I'm downloading anything remote from the command line or scraping some remote content for analysis.

I don't believe you're going to persuade anyone here with appeals to your own authority; you are not the only person on the thread with experience with this subject.

I know less about market structure than any of the many commenters here that navigate it for a living, but I've had enough exposure to know that you haven't made a coherent argument yet. I'm sure you have one in you!

FRBs: Mystery repeating radio signals discovered from unknown cosmic source
We need to merge our work carefully. Git-4-Windows with pacman and makepkg wouldn't work too well at present, as MSYS2 with a native git wouldn't work too well at present.
Interestingly, I've somewhat replace my usual curl calls with HTTPie, at least on my mac; for distributed scripts it's still curl all the way.
Sorry for the basic questions, but the github page (and SourceForge page) aren't answering all of my beginner's questions...

If Msys2 is Cygwin-derived, does that mean all packages in the Msys2-Pacman are all Cygwin packages? I.e., making this "Cygwin with Pacman as a package manager?"

Does this also mean Msys2 packages can never be more current than Cygwin packages (not that this is a bad thing, but as far as I know Python3 in Cygwin is still < 3.5).

Is the benefit of Msys2 that some packages could be native windows builds instead of Cygwin-dll reliant packages?
How come Norton Commander wasn't even mentioned? Brilliant, simple, very practical two-panel file manager with a shell prompt. I still use its GNU clone, Midnight Commander, up until today.

What's more interesting in the Apple case is that protecting citizens' 4th amendment rights is contingent on protecting corporation's 1st amendment rights. Apple claimed that since code is speech, being forced to create and digitally sign the backdoor code is forced speech.

The Citizens United decision from 2010 guarantees a corporation's 1st amendment rights, but I wonder if Apple could still use this defense if that decision was overturned.
For a product like this, the extra weight is a good thing.
> By the way, on a related note, data races themselves are easier to reproduce than the visible negative consequences of those races on the execution of that program.

Perhaps, but a data race by itself isn't sufficiently loud to catch my attention (no idea about yours), unless it consistently has visible consequences during debugging - preferably not too long after the data race itself takes place.

> That is to say, we can [emphasis mine] determine that some data is being accessed without a consistently held lock even when that access is working fine by dumb luck.

By “we”, do you mean human beings or computers? And, by “can”, do you mean “in theory” or “in practice”? Also, “only when we're lucky” or “reliably”?

What I want to prove is the opposite - that there are no races going on.
I really think this post is unnecessarily combative as a response to a very innocuous remark.

Whoa. Sounds cool, but a small market. Enchroma & competitors might already have the filters figured out -- maybe not too hard to get to manufacturing?

Birdwatchers and entomologists would go ape if you could include UV bands, but I don't think you can do that with a filter, since we can't see UV at all -- you'd have to use a custom camera.

How much does it cost to manufacture a CCD with a custom filter -- replace Bayer GRBG with ... IR-R-G-C-B-UV or something? I'm guessing quite a bit.
I am definitely not using the terms as they are used professionally (and certainly not a criticism of Bayesian methods in any way).

It was an attempt to explain in more lay terms how when p-hacking is performed on some dataset, the "findings" can rarely be applied to larger (or different) datasets due to the arbitrary criteria used to reject the parts of the data that aren't conducive to the selected outcome, since the rejection criteria were sort of custom-fit to that specific dataset.

I agree with everything you said.

I would question the above statement under the following premises:

-Disruption is about taking a different path than the
historic "proven" one... example future based on the past
bad product: motorcycle front suspension fork, disruption
improved product: telelever suspension (or similar in
approach Mcpherson suspension)
-Based on the past Genetic Algorithms could lead to local
maximum; alternative option is always to let some non
top-fit elements to prevent or minimize this situation.
-History provides context and therefore bounds... counter

If modern technology can make an SST cheaper to operate, it might have a market where Concorde didn't. Concorde was cool but it was extremely expensive to operate. It burned fuel like crazy and required lots of fancy maintenance. Both could be substantially improved.

I'm skeptical of the viability of such a thing too, but I don't think Concorde's failure is much of a lesson by itself.
> If past is any indication, those will inevitably happen increasing the operation cost for all plants.

What we can learn from the past is that advanced technologies become much safer over time. I don't have the numbers here, but air travel is maybe 1000 times safer than when it started.

So I'd be very confident assuming the accident rate in the future to be vastly less than during the first few decades of nuclear energy.

Reminds me of a charming story from Yuri Gagarin's flight:

"Both he and the spacecraft landed via parachute 26 km (16 mi) south west of Engels, in the Saratov region at 51.270682°N 45.99727°E. It was 280 km to the west of the planned landing site (near Baikonur).

A farmer and her daughter observed the strange scene of a figure in a bright orange suit with a large white helmet landing near them by parachute. Gagarin later recalled, "When they saw me in my space suit and the parachute dragging alongside as I walked, they started to back away in fear. I told them, don't be afraid, I am a Soviet citizen like you, who has descended from space and I must find a telephone to call Moscow!"

Not to mention the CAP theorem. For the SIP to work you have to have a much stronger consistency model across many more nodes. To arbitrage latency in it you need neither.
I never fail to be surprised at the venom reserved for lecture as a core part of education. Sure there are poor lectures, but the good, engaged lectures an be remarkable learning opportunities. I learned the most in my college classes that had great lectures.
By too little data, I didn't mean that they should have collected more data, I meant that it would be nice to see a) other changes within the drug industry from the 90s and early 2000s that may or may not have contributed plotted on the same graph (not just a single line for this one rule as if that's the only event to affect clinical trials since the 70s), and b) more clinical trial outcome data into the future. More generally, I meant that it's hard to attribute historical events conclusively to specific cause-and-effect, because we can never rewind time in order to change one variable and observer its effects.

The problems are so much more pronounced in space and extraplanetary exploration that it really is a totally different thing. Bandwidth is lower, latency is much higher, power is a huge issue, and the hardware itself is far more primitive. The curiosity rover runs on a radiation hardened CPU capable of about 400 MIPs, which would be considered utterly obsolete for a cell phone these days. Imagine programming your phone to drive hundreds of millions of dollars of payload around an alien environment where, if something goes wrong, there will be no human intervention for anywhere from 3 to 22 minutes! Everything on Earth should be easier.

An android could rely on remote servers a hundred kilomters away and incur less than a millisecond of additional delay. This is not a problem at all. The problem is that cloud services take several orders of magnitude more time to respond. An android doesn't need to carry all of its brains around with it the way a rover or spacecraft does. However, it does need to have a box dedicated to providing its intelligence within a reasonable distance. It can't rely on google cloud services. It needs software running on one, specific box.
One thing I do like about msys over cygwin is that compiled binaries don't have a dependency on a dll. If msys2 is using cygwin libraries, does it have the same dependency?
While corruption won't be good, the rational might be Schmidt is a "lesser evil". Is corruption preferable to ignorance? In other words, are decisions made to serve a few, or with ignorance, serve chaos.

More than corruption, my concerns would be respect and understanding of privacy, checks and balances through neutrality, transparency, and decentralization, and creation of open standards and protocols, etc.

OK this is late, but I've only just signed up. I use Roku, and was disappointed to have to painstakingly enter an email address and password via the remote. All reputable Roku apps, by contrast, connect to an account by generating a five or six character code and displaying it on the screen. The user then enters that code on the website, typically via a computer keyboard.
Thorium, and not yet.
This has been answered before.

No, the msys2 repo doesn't follow the Cygwin packaging versions or schedules at all. They are built from the recipes at: https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages

.. they link to msys-2.0.dll which is Cygwin derived and are thus GPLed and exist to provide a POSIX-y shell and build tools to allow building:

https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages

.. which are full of native Windows software under various licenses.

Few people realize that to splice an undersea cable, you need two (big) ships. This is because if the cut was where the cable is a mile deep, by the time you bring the ends to the surface they will be approximately two miles apart.

Powershell is very powerful and for windows it beats cygwin/mingw. Not quite sure how it measure against Linux shells running on Linux, but Microsoft has really made a proper shell for windows, too bad it looks so different.

Obviously if you work in a cross-platform environment, cygwin/mingw is still the only thing that will provide you some sort of consistency in your workflow on Windows machines.
I think you're confused about what "native" ads means in this discussion. Publishers may have no option but to implement them in the end but that won't be a good development: https://contently.com/strategist/2015/09/08/article-or-ad-wh...

Who says no one is afraid of these? Furthermore, who says that switching over to nuclear for a large chunk of domestic energy production (which I am not opposed to, mind you) will do anything to lessen the production of any of this chemical waste? I don't know where your numbers come from, but my guess is that they're not mostly produced from burning of fossil fuels. Some certainly is, particularly arsenic and mercury from coal burning, but not a majority. Yellowcake processing is also not a super green process; it's mostly done by leaching big piles of ground up rock with strong acids.
I hate Hacker News (rant)
OK. I am very, very angry. I haven't joined HN that long ago, but I HATE it.

When I saw HN, I thought it'd be a good website to join. And it was OK at first. And I was excited to submit my first post. I have done a few comments, and now after seeing what I think is karma, I became angry. I am under -1 karma per comment. I read something about HN, and said NOTHING about downvotes. When I joined, I also knew nothing about upvotes, but I loved that there were no downvotes. I HATE getting downvotes. I also hate getting hate comments, which I don't know whether I have had or not. I don't know whether posts (that are not comments) like this get downvotes. I am still reading HN, but this is my last post. I quit.
I'm having trouble believing network latency would be the bottleneck here. Just ping google.com and you'll see ~25ms latency which is a lot less than the half second delay described in the article.

Now, having the server actually process the information, and return a response that then must then be vocalized may take much longer, but that's a different issue than "network latency".

Not to mention when people interact, they often use filler words when collecting thoughts... "um...", "uh...", "hmmm..", "yeah...". there's your half second delay
This doesn't need to become a constitutional argument. Congress can pass a law forbidding the government from forcing a manufacturer to build a back door. Simple as that.
> The waste issue has already been solved.

Yes, but the solution isn't to store it. The solution is to reprocess it. That's what all the other major nuclear-using countries do. The only reason the US doesn't is politics.
No, that is fundamentally wrong. Every self-respecting nation holds grudges, and bids her time until the time is ready to avenge them. Also, 100 or even 200 years are the blink of an eye in a nation's history.

I'm particularly distressed by the fact my country doesn't do so, which is in great part why I find it much easier to identify with my Chinese ancestors (even though I only have partial Chinese ancestry) than my fellow countrymen (who are a spineless bunch).
Who funds projects like this?
The company that owns Ghostery, Ghostery, Inc. (previously Evidon), plays a dual role in the online advertising industry. Ghostery blocks marketing companies from gathering website user information, but it makes money from selling page visit, blocking and advertising statistics to corporations globally, including corporations that are actively engaged in collecting user information to target ads and other marketing messages to consumers.

Customers include advertising industry groups like Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the Direct Marketing Association, parts of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA).[9] These agencies then use those reports to monitor how Online Behavioral Advertisers operate and, when needed, refer them to the Federal Trade Commission.[10] Ghostery also offers data to university students, researchers and journalists to support their work.

According to some journalists, Ghostery is not transparent in how it collects data from users or what that data is used for. Other journalists have claimed that Ghostery sells user data to advertisers to better target their ads.[11] Ghostery, Inc denies this, asserting that Ghostery does not collect any information that could be used to identify users or target ads specifically at individual users. To support their assertion, the company made the source code open for review in 2010, but after 2010 further source have not been released.[12]

In February 22, 2016 Ghostery, Inc released new EULA for Ghostery browser extension, as proprietary closed-source product.[1]

Very shady indeed. Looking for alternatives now...

I think you're over-generalizing from earlier generation designs. Newer designs are simpler because they take advantage of new design features that replace complex, "active" devices with simple, "passive" ones. For example, replacing active emergency cooling with passive emergency cooling removes a big chunk of complexity from newer designs.

Also, complexity in and of itself can be handled. The issue is that handling it requires discipline, and for civilian nuclear power in the US, the discipline has often not been there. (By contrast, military nuclear power in the US has always had strong discipline, and as a result relatively complex reactors are run safely.)
I completely agree with these points when you're writing hypertext.

But much of the web has gone beyond hypertext. Many sites are now using the web as device-independent application environment, that executes without having to install a runtime (Java, Flash) or runs in a proprietary ecosystem (iOS, Android).

Nonsense. You can use both tools. 'curl' is 'cat url', and by default is meant to behave like 'cat' - that is, send stuff to STDOUT. 'wget' is 'web get', and gets an object from (only) the web or ftp, and plonks it on your filesystem. They both do exactly what they're supposed to (according to name), by default.

Author of Juno here -- surprised to see this on here at all given that I didn't tell anyone that it went open (was saving it for tomorrow). I'm losing out on all this sweet sweet karma 
.

Anyway, to your question (carter focuses on the smart contract language, not the consensus layer): This is actually a semi-normal/expected thing in the case of a network partition. Say one node gets cut off, transitions to a candidate and achieves some high term (but potentially has an out of date log index). When it comes back online/partition ends, it will start spamming the rest of the cluster requesting votes.

What protects the rest from this or other faults is a combo of signed RPC's and extra logic (i.e. lazy votes). With sigs, chatter from someone who you don't have the key for (or invalid msgs generally) just get dropped + authorship is verified (Follower can't pretend to be some other node). With lazy votes the portion of the cluster in a good state basically chills (stays in same state, doesn't vote) until the Followers hit an election timeout (AE clears the lazy vote).

Of course you can still DoS the NIC or Haskell server, but the important thing to note is that this isn't meant for a public-facing deployment. It's designed for an internal network -or- inter-corp via leased lines/secured pipes setup. That's the whole point of Juno really... for enterprise applications bitcoin-class tech gives you more features than you need (at the cost of performance).

Tangaroa was a great first step, but we have internal fixes for a number of cases it didn't cover, issues caused by incomplete implementations and (I think) some novel ideas to give back... but I'm still finishing the paper on the enhanced/new (not sure what the line for that is) protocol and its implementation so it didn't make the cut for this release.
