After coding for awhile now, I've also developed a penchant for statically typed languages. I've been forcing myself to use TypeScript whenever coding JavaScript for the static typing.
I friggin' love Lauterbach. Their tools are so powerful and scriptable it's insane. When I first opened their debugger I took a look at old-looking interface and wondered what the heck is this shit, but I soon got hooked. Kinda' expensive, but if you work on this every day, it's deff worth it.

Sorry for fanboying out, but it's the first time I hear of them outside of work and I was pleasantly surprised to see them mentioned.
because reading is such a drag.

No but really turning a long text into podcast can really add to a work. Just Look at something like Serial.
Hmm,

The thing about human beings - or goal-seeking subjects, is that they imagine a series of possible future lines and choose those lines they want to have happen.

If you put a human being on one of these closed timelike curves (CTCs), then the human does their usual human-thing, the human analyzes several lines and acts to cause the one they want to occur to actually happen. Only their action could causing a timeline that they are already a part of to change. Which is where the grandfather paradox might come in - the situation of the grandfather paradox being not just that a person might kill their own grandfather but rather that they might want to kill Hitler or whoever's grandfather to keep something they don't like from being true about their present world (and humans generally have something they don't like about the world).

Of course various devices could be evoked to deal with this - the circuit could be too long to influence or by some magic the things you do to stop the undesirable event actually cause the event (or oppositely for the desired event) - over and over again in the time loop. Science Fiction authors have dealt with along with other scenarios.

But the problem is the "magic", (the coincidence or force that stymies human intentions) is required for every instance of comprehensible time travel, a situation that intuitively seems very unstable as a state-of-the-world.

Thus I think the element that's incompatible with closed timelike curves is intentional thinking itself.
That part has been widely discussed. The second one was new to me: buy plastic surgery.
It's a proxy to take a look at potential resource reallocation.

It seems grotesque when human beings in Silicon Valley are left with no viable option but to live in their cars or under a bridge, while folks tool around in their latest Lamborarri/Ferrambo. If some people can't be meaningfully trained or can't find a means of self-sufficiency, we cannot just allow them to freeze to death on the street. It's not civilized. (I asked and found out that a male on street without disabilities in Santa Clara County receives only ~$5/day in cash and ~$4/day for food.)

Certainly more people in the upper brackets may need to pay something more than now in order for all reach a minimum standard of living, but perhaps not quite as much as billionaires. A gradual tax on all income seems like the fairest, least complicated and straightforward method... say tax starting at $25k USD (adjust for inflation/cost-of-living) , then slope up to something like 35% for most people and 50% for the top end. It's a question really of what quality of infrastructure and social investment is desired, because debt isn't free.

I've also noticed the gradual labor oversupply in first-world, white-collar jobs... there's just not enough work to go around. China, India and others also have tons-tons-tons of unskilled labor as evidenced by frequent usage of more people in-lieu of mechanical equipment for small- & medium-scale jobs. This labor supply/demand imbalance seems attributable to peak global population and increasing productivity/automation.

Perhaps an underestimated crisis is the desperate need for more entrepreneurs to create new businesses which add more jobs in order to utilize more untapped, idle value, especially of groups which are traditionally marginalized from interviews, not just because of PR value, but some groups are really good at some things. (Autistic spectrum personalities seem to be quiet good at sorting/organizing/labeling, etc.)
React Native doesn't deliver a poor user experience though. It's not the right choice for every project, but in most cases users won't be able to discern between RN and native.
Representing constraints in the type system is always an engineering tradeoff---how much type level machinery do you want to build vs the effort required to build that?

Not sure what you mean by separating lines from rows. In the example you give of computing with units, I've seen examples of such systems in Scala (e.g. http://www.squants.com/) and F# comes with something built-in for this (IIUC). You might be interested in checking them out; it's quite neat.
When you calculate what position this actually buys the banks, assuming Spotify doesn't go bust, this loan has a 30% interest rate for the first year.

So if you calculate it out, it means the bank demanded to have their money back (at least in theory/balance sheet) in 8 months and 2 weeks. This likely allows the banks to actually take this risk (ie. defend it to their board/shareholders).

On the other side this allows Spotify to say that they've gotten a "cheap" loan, and even that they've "avoided dilution", when in reality it's a very expensive loan that dilutes quite a bit (how much depends on the valuation at IPO, but at the "current valuation" of 8.5 billion it dilutes 16%. If the valuation is less or the IPO gets delayed it dilutes more, up to 100% at about $1.4b or lower valuation, at which point shareholders and employees lose everything they have invested in the company). It doesn't keep the 30% rate over time, but I bet that came at the cost that the bank also have some way to foreclose on the loan.

Effectively to value of Spotify (money you get when buying the whole company) went down somewhere between 300 million and perhaps up to 600 million because of this deal. And that's ignoring the other loss shareholders get because of this deal, after all debt is senior to equity, there's the equity conversion and pre-selling, which is going to mean the stock price will go down a bit before any stockholder can sell.

The part about plastic surgery recipients is interesting and the article isn't that long, everyone interested should just read the article.
You didn't reply under my thread, but I'm glad I saw your post anyway.

What I meant is this: I do have a paperless workflow and used to have thousands of Evernote notes with meeting minutes, scans of paper, etc. Whilst this is working pretty well for now on the Desktop and Mobile, there will be a time in 10-40 years when I need to go back to some of those documents. And whilst I wish Evernote all the best of luck, chances are good that they won't be around or worse.

Whilst you are correct in 'as long as binary is documented' it's platform agnostic, you are also completely wrong. Have you tried to read some documents from just 15 years ago recently? Apart from reading from floppy disks, it's just hard.

The internal semantics of org-mode are important to me now, when I do my actual project. In the far future, the only thing that is important is that I can full-text search and find my old legal documents. That's just a billion times more easy and realistic with a flat text file than with a hypothetical well-documented binary format.
Disclaimer: mediocre developer here

I have recently switched to emacs from TextMate. I have not been using TextMate to its full potential as I simply did not have the need to do so. It was good. It worked great out of the box.

Then I realized that I needed to do much more than just use a text editor and have been glueing a lots of other utilities together.

Then I doscovered emacs. A behemoth godknows how old. And decided to learn it.

The learning experience is really steep but I think it's worth it. EMACS survived the test of the time along with VI(m). But sometimes I just feel it's too much and the great extensibility comes at price.

I am looking forward to Atom but the performance is not that great compared to EMACS. Not yet.
Reinventing the YouTube history page
The San Bernadino phone was running iOS 9. (It's reasonable to assume that if there was a vulnerability in 8.x, Apple would want to have fixed it in 9.)
Applying lean principles to established corporates
Compared with android phone, it's still better for us. Encryption means it's hard to decryption not impossible to decryption.
Organizing one's work is a bit different for each person, and since you have done a lot of work in C, certainly vi and clang files are more your /modus operandi/. However for those of us with LISP backgrounds, Emacs is definitely more suitable.

What you gain with org-mode is quite a bit:

Org-bable which allows you to write outlines with blocks of text that can call external scripts. This is a bit like a Mathematica workbook, with text notes and evaluations, but you can call to Python, Ruby, or whatever language you want.

You can export an .org file into many different formats. LaTeX, HTML and OpenOffice format are what I use most often. Note that you can modify the template to export to any custom format you want. What is very useful are the Beamer templates, where you can turn an .org document into a slideshow very easily. This is a killer feature for anyone who has to lecture often and needs a quick way to get his notes on some slides that look quite professional.

Org-mode also has an agenda, calendar and even contacts if you want to store them there. You can provide links in your agenda to a specific part of your file, so you can click on the TODO link and go immediately to what needs to be done. This is extremely valuable for a large project and saves a lot of time.

There is also org-capture for those moments when you are fixing one file and you need to remind yourself to refactor a function in another file. This helps avoid many bugs especially in a large project where the function definition can be somewhere else. You can also capture any sort of text. When looking up documentation I often capture the web page and put it in a NOTES.org file in a project, especially when it is something obscure that I don't use that often. These notes can also have links/todos, etc. making it very practical.

Also since I do email in Emacs [mu4e], I can simply make a TODO from an email with org-capture, and it goes into the agenda. In the agenda I have a link to the original email and to any other file or notes that I add to this task. This is very handy with bug-reports and things of this sort. Also, I can search my agenda files to see if anything like this has happened before, etc. It really helps to be able to do this without having to be online like with many bug-tracking software - which is very helpful when on a commute in the train.

These are just a few things that you would gain with org-mode, but really there is no end to the customization you can do. It is all written in plain-text and controlled with elisp. I like the fact that with this one tool [Emacs] I can do so many things, so it is worth the time to know the tool well. It also can expand to do whatever task I need to do. The plain-text format makes it possible to even employ outside tools, such as sed and awk, if I am not inspired in elisp at the moment. To do all the things that I do in Emacs would require learning several different tools each with their own document format and key-bindings and wouldn't even necessarily be adaptable to the task at hand.

On the other hand, you do have the obligatory xkcd:

https://xkcd.com/1205/
I am genuinely wondering, what is (or could you point me to) the alternative with the following properties:

- Compiled, type-safe and available for armv6.

- Simple semantics: Rust and Ada are complex (C++-ish) and it gets hard to limit the number of memory allocations/accesses as well as data copies going on.

- Tooling and discoverability: Man pages and Emacs with a few modes that are easy to setup beats anything I've tried so far.

I understand that C has shortcomings when it comes to safety/security and even lacks features that would make programming certain things easier, but what do you suggest I use when I want to write a UNIX daemon that needs to transfer a boatload of data from disk over the network and vice-versa?

I personally like it, I find it to be clear and concise, a little tedious but at the price of giving me fine grained control over the data in memory: I just have to be careful with that.
Spotify did not ditch Taylor Swift, you have it backwards. She has been quite outspoken in pulling her content off Spotify, not the other way around. Same reason why Adele's 25 is not there.

The ROI is not negative for major artists. Missing major artists creates "holes" in people's listening habits, and they start getting fed up with the service the more of them that are missing, and that leads to cancellations and churn. Spotify would take her or Adele or whoever else has pulled their content back immediately if possible.
If that's the case (and we can only guess) I can't possibly imagine that Cellebrite would offer Apple a way to make their services less useful than they already are.
This is the opposite of the case. Because QML is declarative, it forces the framework to be completely antifunctional. The view_model has to be mutable, so GUI updates are all about mutation. In React, the renderers are simply pure functions that take an immutable state input and spit out a view. No mutation, pure functionality that you can test.
It does have access to a camera. Check out react-native-webrtc.
As far as I can make out, the answer this article offers is just "same reason everybody else struggles: it's hard".
Tried to switch to vim/Emacs repeatedly for more than 10 years, never understood the reason of cryptic commands and shortcuts, that was OK 25 years ago, but since then, keyboards got, say, _arrow keys_. Alt-F is "forward one word"? OK, can be memorized, but there is Alt-right arrow for everything else, much more intuitive.

UI matters. Shortcuts and their relationships are part of the UI, and it's horrible for Emacs. It's the same as some people saying "syntax doesn't matter in programming languages", to which I say BS.

I split my time between Java and less-typed languages, and what always annoys me is:

messagesByUser = {}

Is the key a user id, username, a user object, some sort of stripped down user hash, what? What about the messages? If you try to cram all this information into the variable name then you've invented a perverse form of hungarian notation. And of course you lose all that precious type information every time you pass it off to a function.

Python is my go-to crutch for quickie projects that will never grow beyond a few hundred lines of code. Anything more complicated needs a typechecker. I only wish Java's was more robust.
Indeed. He simply uses it because it's the best software development model. I think open source could use more people like him, though.

P.S. Man, how I love downvotes without any arguments whatsoever.
Key word can. It's also important to give users a familiar feel across the apps on their platform. The UX must make sense to them.

More likely that they did manage to find a 3rd party that could unlock it and found nothing, this wasn't the suspects personal phone (those were also recovered) but it was his work phone, the 6 week old backups had no information on it, the attack was planned more than 6 weeks in advance and it is highly unlikely that he used his work phone to contact any one involved in this.

They've probably spent six to seven figures on hiring a 3rd party for a bespoke service just to find what any analyst could've assumed - nothing.

That said given the severity of the situation even a 1 in a 1000 chance to get some additional information would'be been worth the kings ransom they must have had to pay to get it unlocked.
At the end think what you want of the FBI but that's exactly what their duty should entail, forcing Apple to unlock it is a murky business but investing resources in unlock the phone themselves is perfectly within their right and even obligation to do.

I don't understand why people are going apeshit about this no one would bat an eye when the FBI picks a lock or breaks into a safe how is an iPhone different?
I'm gonna ask a different question - why Google is struggling to design useful software? It seems that every iteration of their every product loses functionality and is being dumbed down to the point of uselessness.
Raspberry PI and Django Channels
Vim and Emacs are two different beasts. My personal setup is using Spacemacs, after having my own clumsy customization on both Vim and Emacs. So now I use Emacs with Vim keybindings.

Spacemacs has been suggested many many times in similar threads. I also suggest you give it a try, as its keybindings are very user friendly and documentation is good.

And per your specific example: Vim has a great system to move around text. You just need to get used to it, but basically, you'll be executing "motions", where you're telling the software exactly what you want to do using very few keypresses. Anything can look cryptic if you don't take the time to learn it! Trust us, it's worth your while! You are truly limiting yourself by only using arrow keys. You'll quickly stop using them at all in Vim, while gaining productivity quickly. And if you don't like Vim per se, some software supports Vim keybindings.
Influx alternatives for sub 100G data?
Influx HA cluster pricing is very expensive for our data size, which is sub 100G data. For a 3 node cluster, influx is charging $18,000 per annum.

We really like influx and heavily use the dimensioning feature in the TSD. Are there any influx like alternatives that are cheaper? I am willing to allocate $3,000 - $5,000 dollars (per annum) for this.

Google to Begin Alerting Users If Gmail Account Is Targeted by Government
Simple: The goal used to be create simple things that just work. Now its create thigs that push your platform.

As an example, to pick on MSFT: I thought hell froze over when I saw Word in the Android app store. Its a hugely wonderful word processor. I typed out a blog post and when to save, but... well I wasnt signed into sky drive. I managed to finagle my way around those prompts after 5 or so mins. Next time I opened Word, I got a message: "In order to continue to use Word, you must sign into a Microsoft Account". Really? The laws of the physical fucking universe make this impossible?

Needless to say, that crap is uninstalled. I already chose a cloud provider, I dont need yet another one, fragmenting my data storage.
There are good quality codecs available that use less bandwidth and have better quality than traditional phone calls, but they are encumbered by patents and license fees. Most people just care about getting a service cheaply/free rather than the actual quality, so most providers will just use the G711 (what landline phones use for trunking) or GSM codecs which are free to use. G722.2 (AMR-WB or "HD Audio") provides a better quality at less than half the bandwidth of G711, but it isn't free to use so very few providers support it.

Not only that, but the codec needs to be supported at all stages of the call (the phones, the VOIP server, the trunk if external, etc), and if not it'll need to be re-encoded, which uses more CPU and reduces the call quality. As such you are probably better off just sticking with a more common, lower quality, codec. It's a chicken and the egg problem as providers won't support more codecs until hardware does and vice-versa (Twilio's SIP trunking service only supports G711, which is kind of the lowest-of-the-low).
> So what's your proposal for how to restrict the speech of others so they're unable to call for people to be fired? I'd be even more interested in your proposals to require everyone to be admitted to privately owned stores and private functions.

Why do you assume I'm proposing restricting people's speech? I'm pointing out a thing some people are doing which I think is bad, and suggesting that they should think about the kind of world they're creating when they do that. Nowhere did I suggest that they shouldn't be allowed to do it.
The Federalist Papers on Medium
Yes I agree. That makes sense. My point was more around the fact that all of the orchestrator tools out there aren't meant to be run on a "resource management framework" like Mesos.... they provide the whole end-to-end feature set. Marathon on the other hand has been engineered specifically to run on Mesos.

That's why I am defining "surgery" the idea of opening up the other tools to literally remove pieces of code to make them run on top of Mesos.
Probably not, according to Bruce Schneier

It's a plan, but it's still driven by economy, and still allows disasters to occur. The only thing it does is pay off victims from such disasters (if I understand you correctly) - the victims wouldn't be victims if disasters didn't happen in the first place. How about just not going anywhere near risky behaviour when it comes to the environment and/or people, ans simply disallow any such thing from happening unless companies can provide sufficient proof it won't cause damage? It's far from a perfect system either (see pharma) but should in the end lead to less damage.
