Depends on what you mean.

Sweden and Denmark are probably more free market than the US.

They do have high taxes and extensive welfare systems.
It wouldn't have done much in this case anyway, since that's just removing the ability to link private frameworks, while this is a private class of UIKit which is public...
The article suggests intellectual activity extends beyond fact-collecting and saying "wow, gee whiz, isn't space incredible? And isn't it great that only dumb people believe in God? I'm so much smarter than non-sciencey god-believing peasants who don't even know what nebulae are"

It is deeply intellectual, far more so than NDT in fact. In particular note where it eviscerates his attempt to stray beyond physics into history, where his analysis is laughably false.

I don't know why but it's often the case that hard scientists, once they are established and respected for doing hard science, feel like they are entitled to go around pretending they can speak intelligently about any other field, no matter how little they understand it. Probably the learned contempt and disdain for the humanities that consumes and drives the culture of many of my fellow STEM folks.

The article attacks the rigid inability of these people to shift their thoughts from the strict empiricist/materialist framework (facts are what the world is) as if they had read Wittgenstein's first book but forgot there was a second -- and their inability to be intellectually flexible, which is the reason why inevitably their attempts to dabble in the humanities flop hilariously.
Re:1 You don't care whether it's a placebo?!? We should get in touch, I have some expensive sugar pills to sell you that will do wonders for your ailment of choice.
I think it's ugly. It introduces uncertainty about the exact semantics of statements (as in does this code really do what I think it does?). It doesn't add any capabilities which JavaScript doesn't have. It makes debugging more complex, because errors are not actually happening in the code you wrote, but code a compiler wrote based on something else.

It introduces indirection and complexity, while adding zero value. As such it's on overall a negative value proposition, and that's everything it takes for me to decide something is not worth it.

I find it a perfectly rational decision and attitude.

While I'm not a fan per se, at least other transpired languages like typescript and clojurescript at least adds new capabilities to justify the additional complexity.
Thank you! I hate footnotes as well, so that's part of why I made Expounder.
Well I'm trying to use sublime for more stuff; my dream is that it turns into a Python-based Emacs, so this is interesting. It's not clear to me how to actually use this port of org-mode though. There don't seem to be any new commands (bar 'set syntax'); how do I create tasks, indent, fold, mark done etc?
Nobody cares what Bradley Manning thinks or says. He's a convicted, treasonous lowlife. Too bad he wasn't serving in the Russian military when he committed treason. They would have showed him what traitors get.

This guy lives a better life than some people in America, and that's a real shame. No matter what you think of Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, or anyone like them, they are traitors. Full stop. The government may not always do the right thing, but to violate the law to prove a point or a set of points does not make you right, even if the government is doing the wrong thing in your opinion.

Couching every comment with leading text to scope who might be interested in it doesn't scale well. I didn't pitch it as desirable for everyone...and I assumed it might be interesting even to those that don't want it.

For example, I have no intention of ever working in the Valley. But, I am still curious about how peers of mine that do are compensated, and what the local cost of living is.
And, again, if we're in a market economy then sometimes people have to move. Not a societal problem. In fact, very much a first-world problem.
Your observation seems plausible at first. However when I gave it a second thought I have concluded otherwise.

In the natural language context, a part of speech is actually determined syntactically. "Type" of a token in formal languages by comparison is also syntactical. Any highlighter must recognize the syntactic structure of its target language and work like a parser, that is, not like a tokenizer. You have to "push" something to the stack, if you know what I mean.

To give a bad, but intuitive example, if a highlighter assigned "gray" to every "=" character it comes across, it would not be able to highlight the same characters inside a quotation mark.

Nope.

>as they mention there are no good studies either way

Well, specifically, a scientist who wasn't involved in the meta-analysis opined this. My takeaway is that the emphatic and zealous testimonials that some users of standing/treadmill/pedalling/Dance-Dance-Revolution-pad desks offer are premature from a scientific standpoint.
Actually, Directv does have the Audience network for original programming.
> Under these conditions, large scale refactorings or framework upgrades can cause massive test failures

An even bigger problem is that large scale refactorings can result in the tests themselves no longer being correct (which isn't the same thing as “not passing”), if you test at too fine a level of granularity. However, when you wrote these tests, you couldn't have possibly foreseen a large scale refactoring 18 months into the future, so how do you tell in advance what the right level of granularity for your tests is?
It's definitely an over-reach. If they can force a company to change a product for this, then what's to say they can't slowly extend this precedent to all sorts of abuses of power.
Is the tyranny of location really Silicon Valley's fault? I didn't read anything here that circumvents the fact that any big new idea in technology is going to need a deep pool of technical experts that's going to be hard to find outside of a few areas.

And Valley companies are doing just about everything they can to work on spreading the expertise via online education, telepresence, open source, etc.
Counterpoint: they have all the nil checks needed for this to fail silently if no UIWebBrowserView is found. It's a fragile implementation in that it might stop working if Apple changes the internal implementation of UIWebView, but it doesn't look like it'll crash because of it.

That said, clearly it's not good for Apple to have large numbers of apps relying on private implementation details. It hamstrings them when it comes time to improve the OS. That translates to a harm for users. I'm not advocating for this hack.

I wonder if this could be avoided by switching to WKWebView?
When tests function as a type system as well, this is true. Buy a good type system will guide refactoring and a good module system and IDE and will guaretee isolation .
Everyone has spare time. I was working as pizza delivery driver while self learning PHP web programming. I had to give up having a social life for about year, but there was plenty of time.

MIT's Not So Crazy Quest to Get Rid of Stoplights
This comment kinda reads like that guy from South Park who always complains that "they took our jarbs!"

For most individuals, low-paid and low-skilled jobs don't give nearly the sense of purpose that a tech job gives. People are driving cars and sweeping corridors because they need to survive, not because they love doing it.

The difference between welfare and honest income resulting from such a job is ~$5/hr in many industrious cities in the US. I think many people would - understandably - rather just sit on their asses all day and collect that welfare instead of working a back-breaking manual labor job. That's why there is a record number of "discouraged workers" [1] in the US's labor reports. Low-income jobs are becoming less useful for the overall economy and this trend started over 100 years ago. This is why the government established that ever-convenient "safety net" (which, yes, has many holes in it) in the first place.

I don't see why the myth persists. If money really did speak so loudly, Jeb! would already have clinched the GOP nomination.
I remember The Lion King on Sega being incredibly difficult as a child, even when I've tried to play it years later the ostrich jumping is still a lottery for me.
True. Lets hope America always has brave 'traitors' like Snowden who open our eyes to the terrifying rabbit hole our government is racing down. Else we might lose all our precious freedom. For instance the freedom to speak out openly, and act with an expectation of privacy, and criticize our government without having to flee it. Else we all might end up 'traitors' at the whim of some government functionary.
I don't understand this, does this really mean I can't even buy an open Chinese router for example, run my own/open firmware, comply and with all regulations regarding power and frequencies, but it is still illegal?

So because I can theoretically break the law if I intentionally alter the firmware to broadcast on a forbidden frequency I am already punishable by law?

So.. what about knives and stabbing and all those types of arguments? I can almost not believe this!

Direct3D9 Wrapper for Go (Golang) Programming Language
Go programmers that only support OpenGL in their desktop application miss out on a large potential user base - people with a standard Windows installation that have not installed the latest graphics driver.
On windows only OpenGL version 1.1 is supported by default but if you can fall back to a Direct3D9 code path you are on the safe side.
Even if a streaming service was guaranteed not to disappear after a couple of years, licensing agreements and conflicts mean that content can simply disappear from the service after a while.

Well the SO community is definitely the representative of Web Developers community. And since Ruby is mostly Rails, and Rails is a web development stack, this tell a lot.

And I think that is the biggest problem with the Ruby communities in general, NO one cares about Ruby is dying. Not Matz, not DHH.
I created the tool to layer the raws in one by one here: https://github.com/tareqak/df_raws_helper .

I also posted this on the bay12forums (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=156947.0) and reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/4aymaf/dwarf...).

The commits are tagged with each of the release versions as the tag.
Agreed. Atom's performance is it's biggest problem. I've been trying it lately and the startup times are very annoying. I find myself reaching for Notepad++ most often just because I don't feel like waiting.
What should (but will never) happen, is an agreed upon streaming API that arbitrary clients can connect to. Pay for a subscription and you can use (Amazon, iTunes, Spotify) from a single application. The only trick will be the application will no doubt need to placate rights holders that no saving of streaming-only content is going on, which will mean some kind of DRM.
I just send them off to dirtypcbs.com, and get 10 boards 2-4 weeks later. They're pretty cheap.

Hug 2.0.0
Yes, comparing Linux and OSX in this graph does seem to be a less interesting data point than some of the others.

In 2013 Linux and OSX made up ~38 percent of users. Now they are at ~48% while Windows has declined.

Both Linux and OSX usage have continued to grow. To me that is the bigger story here.
Streaming channels typically stream mainly the music of established artists, not original music. So the analogy still seems similar to me.
Exact same here. I always get weird looks at events/seminars, but I don't care. Huge screen, great price, has run like crazy for me, and does absolutely everything I need.
My point exactly, no one person has access and even if they did, the keys are the truly sensitive components that no one person probably has access to directly.
They can draft "Apple" into the military and order it to do it then, there are precedences for this.

Workstack 2.0 – Planning Made Easy
I had the same journey as the writer, except I now have done a full circle and am back on TDD. The problem is not TDD, the problem is unit testing, mocking and TDD.

If you are able to write tests from a user story level, i.e. scenario or functional tests, where you are testing from the top down, then TDD is actually very helpful also in the sense of program design and making you think very closely on what problem you want to solve.

They mentioned this in the article, but I'd say it has a lot to do with image.

Boston Dynamics seems fixated on posting videos of people abusing their robots to demonstrate their ability to regain balance, but the general public finds them pretty disturbing and are easy fodder for late night comedy jokes about robot uprisings.

Not really the kind of visual you want to put in people's minds when your company is simultaneously developing AI that was broadcast besting a human at the world's hardest board game.

I wonder if people like Anna moving in also felt the same guilt that the author of this piece does?

I didn't care for the article, but this comment is awful and you ought to feel bad about writing it. Did black people moving into an overtly racist white neighborhood in 1960s era Atlanta feel guilty about it? No, they were probably fucking terrified.

One day in June, a black family moved into a home on Woodbine Avenue, just over the southwestern Kirkwood border in Edgewood. That night someone set fire to it.

Did you read that part? Come on.
FYI, this article may have ulterior motivations. The author is a leftist political writer (has supported violent resistance to Trump[1], compared him to a toilet full of feces and declared America fascist[2]). There has recently been a scuffle around NDT's tweet defending Americans who support Trump[3].

This is not to dismiss the contents of the article, but to provide context.

I've seen the one at Edwards AFB. I used to go to that museum often when I was a kid. Since then I've always thought that it was the most beautiful aircraft ever.
Once I met a guy who worked for some Edward Jones-type company, investing the money of moms and pops, making money from watching various markets for opportunities to make profits.

He was so in love with how effectively the whole world made sense in terms of dollars, contracts, and trades. He liked the meta-economics of the prevailing world economic order. He would think in terms of "is it worth it to me to buy your debt?" if ever you said anything within a mile's distance of implying that you might want money for some economic purpose.

Well, at that time, there was no weed boom. It was illegal for the most part, in the U.S.

And his worldview, which always tried to relate everything -- from national or world news, right on down to the conversations of everyone around him after the workday was done -- everything he related to in terms of how our existing systems of money, contract obligations, and legal decisions was so logical and coherent and wonderful.

What did he think about weed then? That it was an unproductive (one of his favorite words) and likely immoral industry of drugs, not fit to be placed in his glorious world of markets and trade deals.

What does he think about it now? You know already. What do all these full-time market-men think about it: markets are awesome and efficient and now it's just another market service for them to try to arbitrage and to buy ownership of so that they themselves can maximize profit on the margins.

What was the difference before and after? Well, in this one respect, there is no difference: he still goes on effusing self-serving pro-US-capitalist rhetoric everywhere he goes. The one difference is that now he doesn't think weed is bad, it's just another thing for him to try to leverage financial/economic advantage out of, behind his Edward Jones-style desk, while there is a whole 'nother entire class of people mentioned in this article who probably don't dig his own worldview as much as he does.
The Steps Linux Mint is taking to address the attack
If you have a mac and an iphone, you could try vox loop, where you upload your own music (any quality) and then streams it back at the same quality (works with wav / flac).

Only bad thing about it is that you have to upload your own music. As for having a big catalog, well, you can either buy the cds / vinyls and rip them, or have access to a good private tracker.
There is also no great tragedy in two parties coming to terms on a transaction when both of them agree - by definition, they're both better off because of the transaction. $70K for a the weeded lot next door it not a bad deal.

The real tragedy here is land-use restrictions that most municipalities instituted in the '70s and '80s, which prevent the supply of housing to meet demand (http://jakeseliger.com/2015/12/27/why-did-cities-freeze-in-t...).

Many "gentrifiers" in many Atlanta neighborhoods would probably prefer to live in NYC, LA, SF, or Seattle, but those municipalities have strict rules that prevent the building of sufficient housing to meet demand. So people move elsewhere. Matt Yglesias discusses this in more detail in The Rent is Too Damn High (http://www.amazon.com/TheRent-Too-Damn-High-Matters-ebook/dp...).
They must have been hard at work for the Chrome extensions to work seamlessly, because Chrome's extension API's are so extensive these days. I wonder if they actually support them all? The public info is still pretty scarce.
So he's saying that decades of poor public education based on creating docile worker drones is creating an underclass that is increasingly separate from the people who had access to better, rebelled against, or beat it.

People are poor because they are lied to about how the world works. They are lied to by the true believers whose paychecks depend on them repeating the same tired post-modern bunk. Poor kids drop out of school because they know they are being lied to, but don't have the tools to manage the cognitive dissonance - because they point of most public education these days is to indoctrinate kids into accepting and submitting to dissonance instead of reasoning about it.

I will help anyone who wants out, but anyone who wants me back in can drop dead.
> Everyone has spare time

They really don't. Were you paying rent while working as a pizza delivery driver? Did you have any dependents to support? Any health conditions that you struggled to afford to treat without health insurance?

Some of these are intractable problems (if you have kids, life is busier) but the broad attitude of "opportunity is waiting for you if you choose to take it" is nonsense. It's entirely possible to be trapped in your current life situation. It wouldn't matter so much except that it is an absolutely tiny leap from that characterizing these people are lazy and not deserving of any help or pity.
To be clear, I don't think it actually is. I think many people don't listen in a way that any differences could be discerned. Streaming over your car stereo, going down the highway, for example. Or listening on a cheap phone with a bad DAC and cruddy headphones.

I've read about various tests (usually not conducted with sufficient rigor to make me think too much about the results) in which people:

1. Couldn't differentiate lossless and lossy encoding
2. Preferred the lossy to the lossless.

The former case isn't too worrisome for me. The latter case is, in that it signals that there is a discernible difference, and that we're habituating to compression. Yesteryear's LP pops and hisses replaced by crunchy, compressed cymbals.

I am too young to be crotchety about the way music should sound, but I swear the music industry has turned me into this :-)

"It prompted Chrysler to recall 1.4 million vehicles and mail customers a USB drive with a software fix."

As noted in article, because dropping a USB key in the mail saying "hello, stick this into your...um, car and install this" is not a vulnerability at all.
