ULA will probably end up encouraging Bezos to build a complete rocket. There are some other players talking about using the BE3 (the tourist rocket engine) as an upper-stage engine, and ULA is likely to use the BE4. At that point, Bezos can market the complete rocket as "You already depend on our engines, why not try our complete rocket?"

It has? I'll accept that only for the conception of FLOSS. However, I would then say that the OSI and Linux Foundations have had greater impact. They relied on the RMS's license, but they have actually managed to make inroads, whereas the FSF has stayed in it's corner, shouting.

What I don't agree with is the all or nothing attitude they have. The ability to know when to compromise is crucial to working with people.
Exercise actually promotes the intake of Glucose into body cells by stimulating the opening of pumps on the cell wall, similarly to the way Insulin promotes the intake of Glucose into body cells.
I came here to say exactly that.
Here are a couple of examples from the Python deep learning ecosystem:

IDSIA, affiliated with Juergen Schmidhuber and many other leading ML researchers, has released Sacred, "a tool to help you configure, organize, log and reproduce experiments." https://github.com/IDSIA/sacred

(TC39 and Mozilla member here.)

FWIW, this:

For these reasons, the V8 team, along with TC39 committee members from Mozilla and Microsoft, strongly support denoting proper tail calls by special syntax.

is misrepresentative of the state of consensus and frankly premature. In particular, while I won't try to speak for all of my colleagues (we do not pre-determine an official Mozilla position in advance of standards discussion) I don't think it's the case that any of the Mozilla representatives "strongly support" syntactic tail calls, and I personally have reservations. It hasn't gotten beyond being an area of open exploration.

All that said, I'm interested to see where the explorations go, and I'm looking forward to subsequent discussions.
Ray tracing is great, metropolis flavour particularly. But you need an artistic sense to create complex and rewarding scene geometry, whether it's static or animated. I spent years obsessing over CS when the experience that actually drew me into the graphics field in the first place must have been the result of someone's artistic judgement, passed through a conceptually very simple bit of software (this is the 90s I'm talking about) which really just projected geometry into the screen.

(Oliver Deussen's work on rendering plants and other natural phenomena is an example of the kind of CS technique necessary to create geometry for any rendering process.)
It's not as bad as you might think if you use e.g. pipe insulator to encase your cables.

> don't see how this is suppose to work when we can not fix quadriplegic people.

folks with spinal cord injuries are often that way not due to injury caused by trauma itself, but due to their bodies reaction after that trauma. Swelling and inflammation near the damage leads to contusion of nervous tissue and the formation of scar-tissue like plaques that reduce the effectiveness of myelin as an electrical material. We can't repair that form of damage yet, only hope to limit it through quick response after trauma.

The HEAVEN paper goes through the steps they are going to take to make sure that the body is not allowed to react in such a way. A very sharp blade is used and a chemical, PEG, is used to refuse the nervous tissue within a small very small time-frame, along with chilling the patient and other protocols.

tl;dr : a spinal cord injury is tricky because the overall amount of bandwidth between the brain and the nervous system is reduced (so-far) irreversibly.

This surgery is tricky (amongst a zillion other reasons) because rather than dealing with a reduction in bandwidth, it's hoped that the brain is plastic enough to be able to deal with the different spatial characteristics of the patients nervous tissue and matching body.

even shorter tl;dr : it's easier to manage an injury you made than one you were handed.

(p.s. tetra/quad/para-plegia are symptoms, not diseases. the causes are numerous and plentiful. i'm only using spinal cord injury as an example because I am more familiar with it than other diseases that cause paralysis)

you shouldn't use terms like "Nazism" so loosely. It makes it lose its denotative and connotative value. If you do, then what words will you have at your disposal if the real thing comes around?

Unless RMS is leveraging nationalism through racist policies and wants a strong police state or thinks mercantilism should replace capitalism, it's really not a very good label - save that for the real thing.
I believe the most benefit could be reaped by adding one two metrics that RescueTime doesn't have. Possibly LOCs, or "emails written" for someone who does that a lot – or maybe even a subjective assessment of your day's productivity.

> Why is it that some people, regardless of how much they eat and how little they exercise, never put on weight? That, to me, is the elephant in the room.

This is another problem that people can and have solved. You simply aren't eating as much as you think, so you take meticulous track of your caloric intake, and once you realize you eat a lot less than you thought, force yourself to eat X 100s of calories over normal intake per day. This is likely a quantity of food that causes physical discomfort initially, but it works.

Ignoring issues like Crohn's, "I can't gain weight" is just as much an excuse as "I can't lose weight", although perhaps more socially accepted due to body type voodoo.
Maybe it's an Apple thing. Sometimes they make up silly names like "Grand Central Dispatch" for executing a block in parallel in multiple threads. "ARC" makes me still think "adaptive replacement cache", not "automatic reference counting". At least they don't call it "automatic retain count". After all, they used to call "reference count" as "retain count". Confused the heck out of me on my first exposure to Objective-C.

Not that others like Microsoft don't do the same thing, renaming commonly known concepts to something they made up. Like DEP vs NX vs XD. Or Interlocked* for atomic operations. Atomic add in Microsoftese is InterlockedAdd.
There's a lot of work being done right now on the practice of bringing body temp down extremely low as a way of making surgery safer and preserving bodies to get them to hospitals. It sounds nuts but it seems like one of the more mainstream parts of this procedure.

I use Browserify and a lot of NPM modules (and therefore their dependencies too) on my own sites. Some of the sites are only built from free and open source code, but manually complying with LibreJS's standards for listing all of the licenses involved seems painful. It would be really handy if there were a Browserify plugin that recorded the licenses of the packages of the files that went into my Browserify bundle, and then output that licensing info into a LibreJS-compatible way that I could reference in my pages.

Another very valid point. Different preferences naturally lead to different outcomes.

Because laws around digital intellectual property are profoundly different from physical goods, even when the goods are intellectual property like a book.

Consider a trivial example. I bought an iOS SSH app called prompt. The authors subsequently release a new version and removed the old one from the store.

The OnHub router has one SSID, but two BSSIDs that account for each frequency band. Unfortunately, some devices (such as iPhones) cannot choose one over the other, so I have been turning off 2.4Ghz in this case.
Sorry for the inaccurate shorthand; maybe that should read that SpiderMonkey supports it. Eric Faust of SpiderMonkey is a co-champion of the proposal, and spoke against implicit PTC at the March 2016 TC39 meeting. It's hard to get much stronger in support of a proposal than being a champion, and Eric works for Mozilla. From that discussion, it also sounded like there was support from the Mozilla devtools team as well.

I'm interested in getting everyone's point of view. We've been discussing pros and cons at https://github.com/tc39/proposal-ptc-syntax/issues and https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/issues/535 , and it'd be great to have your input, including the overturning-prior-consensus issues you raised in committee and anything else that comes to mind.

True, in my case I just wanted to turn off 2.4Ghz entirely but the software wouldn't let me.

My iPhone can't prioritize 5Ghz unfortunately. There was some BSSID trickery I could do, but having guests over was a pain since the broadcasted SSID would always result in a horrible connection. By turning off 2.4Ghz entirely on my old router there's no such problem (though the range is reduced quite a bit).
absolutely the same story here, 76 in our case :) - very thin coat. I remember reading story about a small dog where "having outfit for each season" was mentioned as a kind of outrageous pumpering of the dog, and how i'd had agreed with that before having our chihuahua. Now we have sweaters, light and heavy, jackets, jackets with hood - the hood goes on when windy, still trying to find good convenient pants, tried boots - shakes them off, it is ok, anyway we aren't going in the rain :)

Our own experience with ECS has been similarly negative.
While this was 6 months ago, I am not aware of significant improvement.

In general, the whole thing feels rushed and duct taped together.
Networking model (inherited from Docker) doesn't play nice with ELB.

- The built-in AWS tools for monitoring are not container aware.

- We've had multiple occurrences of the ECS daemon dying.

- Very little visibility into the progress of deploys. The API/console will report something as "running", when it in fact was still loading up.

If you watch their videos, they promise integration with Marathon, but if you look at the code, it's in "proof of concept" stage.

At this stage, GCE is significantly ahead of AWS.
Out of the box, you get a top notch container story, logging and monitoring.
"it explicitly says that they do not simply generate and store each page as it's requested."

Firstly, they might be lying. Secondly, they more likely are not "generating and storing it" because they are generating it, but not storing it. If you want repeatability (but why would you? In an infinite library, you cannot expect to find the same text twice), use the text entered as the seed for a RNG, use it to pick the #of characters to prepend and to append, then generate the two sequences. That gives you repeatability without the need for a backing store.

A way to test this theory is by entering a long string first, and then a substring of it, say with the last character removed. If they stored the first result, they could return it for the second search, too. I haven't seen that happen.

Also, repeatedly searching for the same text gave me texts where the search text appears in the same location. So, apparently, they partly implemented the repeatable generation process.
I know that UB can be useful for optimizations. Where did I assert otherwise?

I'm saying that overflow is not undefined in Rust (the very first section of the blog post says this). I made this same mistake a few days ago and thought it was undefined (and implementation-defined to panic on debug), but I was wrong. Overflow is well defined in Rust.
Agreed. I'm way more concerned about my computers and phones being compromised than I am my router. In comparison to the other devices I use the router has a tiny attack surface.

tl;dr: Why you shouldn't use exercise as an excuse to overeat, it doesn't burn enough calories.
I think I'm drawing the distinction between "active population control" and "passive population control". I define "active population control" as anything where the goal is to control population and active steps are taken in that direction, typically with the effect of reducing freedom of individuals (e.g. a simple control would be "no more than 2 children per couple", which means an individual cannot decide to have 3 children). Whereas "passive population control" is basically where population growth ends up controlled as a side-effect of other changes, generally without any limits on the freedoms of individuals (for example, eliminating unwanted pregnancies would be a form of passive population control; the goal isn't to control the population but rather to eliminate an undesired situation, and no individual's freedom is curtailed, but the overall effect would be fewer children across the entire population).
.saturating_add() exists. You can create a wrapper type around this and implement the Add/Sub/Mul traits.

Schneier isn't involved in cryptography enough today to be able to write the kind of crypto book people would expect. For example he knows very little about ECC, and stream ciphers aren't really on his radar either. Also he said on his blog that he'll probably never write another crypto book.

How come? Suppose A + B doesn't trap, and if T0 = A + B, then T0 + C doesn't trap. Why should (A + B) + C trap?

> An AP cannot prioritize 5 GHz over 2 GHz. It's up to the client to decide what to connect to.

While this is strictly true, an AP can encourage clients to prefer 5Ghz over 2.4Ghz. How do I know? The enterprise APs from the big players do this and do it well. Recent versions of the software that drives UBNT's UniFi APs also do a good job of this. (Every client I've connected to my UniFi APs at home has always been steered to the 5Ghz band. [0])

Like IPv6 support (which the OnHub reportedly still lacks!), sometimes it's best to try and accept the occasional suboptimal result. :)

[0] And yes, without band steering these clients would always connect at 2.4Ghz because of its stronger signal. So, I know that band steering is working. :)
