> Dirty bombs are a hugely inneffective weapon. You are taking a radioactive material at high (dangerous) concentration and spreading it around an immense area to low (less dangerous) concentrations

I agree they are ineffective for tactical purposes, but they work for terror purposes. A dirty bomb's effect is limited to the small area around the blast; a drone could cover a much larger area in valuable or critical real estate.

The cleanup could be much more expensive and time-consuming to cover a wide area: Concentrations would be less dangerous but they could be dangerous enough, and regardless of the true danger, the public will insist on a cleanup.
You can try, but as Snowden has shown, it's not nearly as effective.

"Sensible" is a euphemism for "don't allow religious fundamentalists with a deep-seated hatred of the West in"

Additionally, this demographic (I won't name the religion - I'm sure you know the one I'm describing) has a male unemployment rate of 50% and female unemployment rate of 75% in the UK.

You don't die as a country through low birthrates - this could only happen in a bygone era that required massive labourforce, agriculture, factory work etc. No - the modern economy does not require "throwing bodies at the problem." We are entering the age of automation, a having more humans in a country is not as important as having the smartest humans to build the automation.

In fact having more humans in the country just creates an aging population timebomb. This problem is confounded by immigration. Not resolved by immigration. Immigrants age just like the rest of us.
Apathetic people don't comment in the first place.
> Including sleeping with and marrying one of his research students.

Right or wrong as a moral or professional practice, this was incredibly common in the 20th Century, and if that implicated bad science, we'd have to discard quite a lot of it.

Also, it's hard to see how sleeping together would cause them to do bad science.
"I've noticed that TDD forces me to think about the code in a better way, before actually coding it, than just going ahead and coding it"

IMO, that is the crux of the matter: Thinking-Driven-Design is the way to go. The idea that you _need_tests_ to do the up-front thinking is, again IMO, bogus, and writing tests without thinking doesn't help much, as you seem to agree on with your remark on missing test cases.

Some people use paper or a whiteboard as things that make them think. Others go on a walk. Yet others, sometimes, can just do it sitting behind their monitor while doing slightly mindless things such as deleting no longer important mail, or setting up a new project.

Also: good tooling makes many kinds of refactorings extremely low-risk. Strongly-typed languages with that are designed with refactoring in mind help tons there.

> It only takes the action of the spider to jump at me but me not to feel anything to remind me that I'm actually in an empty room by myself.

I suspect you don't have a phobia like this, and have not dealt with people who do when they are affected by it.

> your last example would give the same response headset or not.

Meaning you view it as effective or ineffective? I used to think things like that had no effect on me. Absolutely none. Then I had children. Now I cry when a movie hints at a child losing a parent or parent losing a child. It's an involuntary reaction to the empathy I have for the situation. I can't control it at all, and this is in fictional settings with fictional characters.
Broken site: never-ending reload "checking your browser ..."
Also not Android, but Google has rendered the App Engine/Compute Engine dashboard completely useless. Double overlapping sidebars and a huge amount of wasted space everywhere makes simple tasks like finding a log entry difficult. The old design at appengine.google.com which Google is slowly deprecating was highly functional despite not being flat and "pretty." This is just one example. It's my personal opinion that Google is showing a tremendous lack of design ability in areas that they should be getting right at this point.

I didn't realize that browser would spill my local IP address, or might be able to scan local devices in the same network. Shouldn't browsers have settings to enable/disable access to device sensors or data?
This is true, but on Android this is not possible on Chrome or the default webkit browser, as Google doesn't allow extensions. So my point still stands.
Sorry for using lodash as an example :) Its a good example for this debate precisely because its also available as tiny modules, so it can be used for comparisons without confounding factors.

NixOS 16.03 'Emu' released
What I got from the video:

The gaphics integration into the real world is phenomenal. If you put a virtual object in a room you can walk around it. If you put something on a wall it stays there no matter where you walk.

Unfortunately, the interface -- how you interact with virtual objects -- is completely janky. Awkward pinching gestures to select keys from a floating virtual keyboard. Cursors that are supposed to represent your physical movement, but instead jump around.

It is tantalizingly close, but it seems like it would be just as annoying as it is neat or useful until someone comes up with a better (simple and reliable) interface.
Or just the browser with the least amount of funding tied to advertising.

Slack is to group chat like Dropbox is to file sharing.

There are plenty of old school ways to share/synchronise files among a group of people. You could run an FTP server and a bunch of automated scripts etc. Or you can just install Dropbox for your non-technically minded users and it just works. The interface is nice and mobile app support is great. Slack is similar in that regard.
This is the problem with government aid programs. The more money there is, the more distorted it gets. At least that's the way it seems. It seems that it's very difficult to effectively administer a large-scale aid program. They all end up corrupting the market - like this NYC story, or like your story. It erodes the confidence in government and results in people like Donald Trump getting broad support.

I don't entirely disagree but I will point out one thing with the mutual fund markdowns. If the fund's value declines as the public markets tank (e.g. briefly at the start of the year) then the holdings in the fund need to be marked down to compensate. If 5% of the fund is private company stock and the fund as a whole went down 10% with the market, then you would expect the private company stock to also get marked down ~10% to keep the accounting straight. This doesn't necessarily indicate a problem with those companies as the markets can and have bounced back and the private shares will likely rebound with the markets in many cases. Now of course there are also the Zenefits type companies mixed in that are just worth drastically less than previously estimated.
I wanted to come back and say I was too quick to judge on the vulnerability article.

This data doesn't indicate whether bugs were found and patched internally, or were actually exposed first by malware.
Really good point, unfortunately I think one of the biggest reasons any big company does get out of "the woods" is through competition starting to scare them.

Its fairly obvious that google is not really afraid of any large competitor in their space.

More than anything they are just buying up the next google (like msft did) to ensure that nobody can come up from the depths.

To me, having a bitcoin hot wallet on my computer is what feels unnatural. I'm far more likely to use a service that will let me preload an account balance than I am to use bitcoin and all that entails.
"goto operator in C? It can be simplified. This code smells! He probably should go and work for Starbucks."

The use of 'goto' in C to separate error-handling code from main-line code is a commonly accepted practice.

Also, "goto" isn't an operator.

Was this Gail Harrison's doing?[1] She's Illumination Entertainment's head of marketing and branding. She would have had to sign off on this for Google to use a Minions™ character.

Gail is a major figure in the branding industry. She was behind the branding of The Simpsons characters. She managed the Disney Princesses branding. Before her work, there were princesses in Disney films, but they hadn't been harnessed into a supergroup merchandising team, pulling over $3 billion a year in tie-in sales.

"Mic drop" had to have her approval.

People are building/running/coding side projects more than ever before! I run sideprojectors.com (http://www.sideprojectors.com) - it's a place where people can sell/buy/show off side projects and we've been receiving increasing number of side projects over the last few years. To my surprise, a lot of projects are also getting sold. Whether they go on to become big companies or not, I'm not sure - but many are building stuff.

I find it depressing that the sociologists are saying that race is (only) a social construct. I mean, sure, there's an element of truth to what they're saying, but there's also a truth that they're denying. We build these social constructs because there's an external reality that they... well, let's say that they oversimplify. But the external reality is there, and it isn't going away.

The external reality is that there are real, physical differences between people that correlate at least somewhat with what we perceive as "race". That's reality, whether sociologists choose to acknowledge it or to ignore it.

Glad you're exploring the issue, but... your scenarios are completely contrived. In the ACTUAL scenarios where there is video, we see dashcam video of officers shooting a suspect who is on the ground, and no threat, 9 additional times. We see officers shooting fleeing suspects in the back. We see officers taking 0.75 seconds to decide to murder a "suspect" who is holding a toy gun in a department store. Your story is talking about theoretical risks to interpreting video. In the actual facts, we have already seen that video can add a great deal of clarity to a situation, and often that clarity directly conflicts with sworn statements by the officers involved.
Parts of this study seem dubious. Neither 'city' nor 'millionaire' is defined. The authors allege that rising religious tensions and a lack of opportunities are to blame for the French millionaire outflow. Is that the whole story? Could the aggressive tax rates and hurdles posed by regulation have more to do with it?

Here's a fun fact: when Hollande's 75% tax rate was announced, waiting lists at some of the more expensive francophone Swiss boarding schools ballooned overnight. Make of that what you will. (NB this tax rate was introduced in 2013 and dropped in 2014.)

Also the fox runs through objects that are even slightly complex, as it can't comprehend their depth (the camera woman).

Another interesting depth issue is when it ran to the back of the table and straight on to the floor as if they were continuous, because the view angle made it so the table and floor were right next to each other only separated by a line, so the fox didn't do a jump animation. I suspect a depth map of the room needs to be constructed to solve that issue, no mean feat.

These kind of issues just show me this tech is still years away from being what we'd expect.

My point was that the use of Euler Spirals (aka clothoids) were ubiquitous in commercial CAD systems for highway design well before Raph Levien's work in fonts. My datapoint of 1995 in Japan certainly would not have been the first, but it does show how widespread their use has been.
Hi Dan, thanks for the followup. I'm more concerned about wrong comments than bad comments though, since usually the delete-blocking-reply points out the wrongness and warrants the full delete to avoid massive downvotes.

I try to shoot for meaningful individual commits, squashing to get the intent of each change (more or less) self contained. I've found it really helpful if I ever need to `git bisect` to find what introduced a bug, I get a small(ish) commit that only affects a single module. Very helpful when debugging code I wrote last year.
People further up are citing this as ~9kb ungzipped. To me 9kb vs 54kb ungzipped is more than a "slight" difference. It tips it over the threshold where you can just embed it rather than force a separate call. Seems like it would be idea for optimising the "first hit" when a user comes to your site and has nothing cached.
The point of the body cam isn't to provide an all seeing narrative it's to increase the chance that if any party does anything flagrantly unreasonable it'll likely get caught on camera.
Exactly. What is the point of NYTimes running this kind of piece, except to court favor with police unions.

It only serves to cloud the issue, by encouraging people to forget that bodycam video and dashcam video are strictly additive evidence.

A preponderance of the evidence shows that police will do anything they can to suppress information that makes them accountable. Hence dashcam audio that gets disabled, nearby security camera footage that gets deleted, and so on.

Maybe NYTimes is just afraid that they will alienate the police unions if they state the truth: that all law enforcement and the general public alike are protected and constrained by low-cost video recording.

Different countries have different rules for taxation. It's perfectly possible to be considered a resident (or deemed resident) in two places concurrently. This is frequently the case for people who split their time between multiple countries.

I know many people who have been in this position.
I think there is almost no chance Apple will offer an optional bootloader password. It's not a great Ux for one thing. Another is how does the user do a reset? In case they forget the usual unlock code, the consequence is they lose everything on the encrypted volume, including their data, but not the OS itself which just reverts to a "first boot" requiring setup from scratch. What does this look like when the bootloader chain is encrypted, presumably including all or critical parts of the OS itself? That's non-trivial.
This is a very good list.

With respect to Haskell and dynamic typing, I am curious whether you had considered Typeable and Data.Dynamic in your analysis (and, in general, your thoughts on how they relate to the distinction being made).
