> Yes, it's voice sounds interesting, but it completely lacks emotion.

That is a highly subjective judgement call, and i think i even know why it appears like that to you. Different languages express emotions differently, and particularly japanese appears "flat" to english people, to the point that english learners of japanese are taught to speak japanese like a robot to sound somewhat accurate.

Luckily there are some people making english songs with vocaloids as well. Have a listen to those and see if you get more out of them:

The Air Force has no more choice than they do about keeping the A-10; if Congress directs the function, dollars, and personnel to the Army, that's where they go.

Further, that the Army has expressed willingness to take 360-degree responsibility for CAS doesn't change the fact that theor current perspective on fixed-wing CAS options comes from a place of not having that responsibility.
Wow, thanks! My kids had been researching biathlon rifles and the only ones that they found were from either Germany or Russia, and the Russian ones were no longer being imported. We talked with biathletes training at Craftsbury this season (they were National Guard members), and they were all using imported rifles, but I'm glad to see there are other options.
sshd and apache2 for example both support systemd socket activation -- whether distributions actually do that is up to the distros. CoreOS for example runs sshd via socket activation.
Not so much inexplicably. This is common to nearly every indexing system intended to support text search. You won't see punctuation characters being indexed by most systems. Tokenization, lexeme normalization, and all that. It does make certain searches nearly impossible to perform, but the case is rare enough that the average person - even amongst developers - doesn't get stuck all that often.
I'm actually not sure we're disagreeing, but I'll defer to you, seeing as how I've avoided firefights up to now, and probably will in the future, and carry concealed with a Summer Special, friction the only retention besides, of course, having it covered.

While I don't have number in front of me, my instinct is that ATACMS is more expensive and less flexible on a per target basis than aerial bombardment using an A-10.
I didn't, it's a totally different part and fallout from a major change.

The PS3 software (based on FreeBSD) had quite nice usability but horrible system level performance, particularly when it came to disk/filesystems. You'd end up watching software update install progress bars more than play actual games.

The PS4 has a weird UI that feels oddly half-finished, but does okay on system level performance. It's sort of where the Xbox 360 was in 2005.
Yeah, that's a big reason the F-35 is fucked. At this point, it definitely would have been more effective to develop at least two entirely separate aircraft.

I think that Marx comparison is pretty wrong. Marx expected a global workers' revolution that would result in a classless society. He was an advocate of armed revolution against the bourgeoisie. As far as I can tell, anything he wrote about gun ownership was in the context of this armed revolution.

The second amendment reads, in full, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." The notion of protecting a state lead by a capitalist, slave owning class (think about what "people" means in this context) is completely contradictory to Marx.

Ironically, it is probably easier to write tooling for verifying C code than it is for verifying Rust code. And the additional benefits of Rust also don't help you that much if you're going to be verifying things; whatever memory safety is provided by Rust would fall out of general correctness.

For C, you just need to come up with a restricted semantics for a subset of C (e.g. you can pick a particular evaluation order, assuming your implementation also respects it). Rust is a much more complex language, with no formal semantics forthcoming, and you would need to verify the semantic properties supposedly enforced by the type system, as well as their interaction with unsafe code. All of this would require new deep research, whereas the equivalent for C-like languages is well-trodden ground by now.
There is an important negation missing from the above.
"What do I really want?"
Even if so, it might still be cheaper to keep units equipped, trained, and operational with it between actual combat missions, which might make it more cost effective on a long-term analysis. Combat aircraft are expensive even when they aren't fighting.
It is possible that their zippers do cost less than if their competitors attempted to make zippers of similar quality - i.e. that their competitors can't make profit on quality zippers due to not having the same economies of scale.
This movie is made by Oliver Stone right? Judging by prior work like The Doors (Jim Morrison) and Alexander (Alexander the Great) I don't have high hopes.

Oliver Stone likes to destroy characters on the big screen paying attention to the flaws rather than the charisma of his charactes. Jesus, I didn't remember a single battle scene from the movie "Alexander" and this guy went from Greece to India on horse battling his way out. He is considered one of the biggest strategic minds in history. He was the only leader I recall who changed the faith of battles consistently by making swift, unexpected moves with his cavalry hitting the enemy where he least expected it. Being gay[2] is not the reason why Alexander was named "Great".

[1] In the case of Alexander he admitted that it was a huge failure, but I'm not sure if by failure he and I mean the same thing, probably not.

[2] Sexual relationships amongst men were a very natural thing in ancient Greece, especially between soldiers. Indeed Alexander was married twice AFAIK.

where they basically gave up ground and got nothing in return

What would they get in return? The absolutist/fundamentalist interpretation of the 2nd Amendment does not admit of compromise, and sets up a world view in which compromises and "reasonable middles" cannot exist; from that stance one either wins completely or loses completely, which is not coincidentally the rhetoric often used to work supporters up into a frenzy.
Years before Snowden it was revealed that recorded sex was traded around the NSA. In 2008 it was revealed that NSA employees made mix tapes of phone sex they recorded:

>Gordon routinely shared salacious or tantalizing phone calls that had been intercepted, alerting office mates to certain time codes of "cuts" that were available on each operator’s computer. "Hey, check this out," Faulk says he would be told, "there’s good phone sex or there’s some pillow talk, pull up this call, it’s really funny, go check it out. It would be some colonel making pillow talk and we would say, ‘Wow, this was crazy’," Faulk told ABC News.

The Ruger 10/22, which lists at $260 to $400 from what I just found on Google from Ruger, has an awesome ecosystem and is relatively easily worked on.

Heck, everything can be bought from someone else (all patents expired by now), and I'm sure there are many alternatives that could get you started.

Also see http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=biathlon e.g. there's a Russian rifle which often goes for less than a thousand there. As well as an Anschutz with "Walnut German Stock" for the usual $$$$$$.

The "interpreting", as you put it, can be really odd at times. I tend to think that in the majority of cases, it works perfectly and you do in fact get your answer without even having to click through to the site. Whether this is a Good Thing™ or a Bad Thing™ is left to each individual's discretion.

It's a little funny when the interpretation doesn't show anything useful. I've noticed this is often the case when they rip an html table out of the document and show partial rows/columns in the result set. They'll frequently display the column that contains your search term (the "key" so to speak), but exclude the column that contains the matching information you're looking for (the "value"). Other times, though less frequently, there are "answers" to your search query that just make absolutely no sense.

Interesting, but a full-featured browser (like Chrome) brings a lot more than UI and a renderer to the table. There's other features (security stuff, developer tools, etc.) that it would need.
Yeah. We all had bookshelves in our cubicles and we knew who had what book. Between all the people on the team, we had the answer to pretty much everything.
I'm sure it's a "hard-line" stance to take, but if you want to make gun violence a public health issue I'd be far, far more supportive of the idea that we have a mental health problem here in the US than an access-to-guns problem here in the US.
I've been able to avoid Pulseaudio and therefore didn't experience the issues it had in the past but I've heard that the new maintainers fixed stuff and are doing a better job, though I still don't use it and hence don't have first hand experience.

I wouldn't blame Red Hat per se but the GNOME fall back they ship with RHEL is a joke and in no way resembles the old GNOME desktop Pixar was used to.
Do the people with that kind of access simply not understand the power they have? If Snowden had access, surely there are at least dozens of other 20-somethings running around able to read the correspondence of almost anyone in the country. Are we to believe that they really are so self-disciplined the only thing they'll look at are nude photos? Why haven't we seen industrial and political fallout from these guys?
Because I had a situation where systemd broke a symlink causing a unit to be permanently disabled. Thus, I needed to look through the filesystem to find the offending mislinked magic and deleted unit files and repair them.
But we can be thankful for the link. I choose to believe people here do it to be helpful.
Absolutely - because the fundamentals are all the same - highly technical specifics being mandated by people who have no clue about the technology nor the impact of their proposed mandates. As systems get more complex and integrated, we're going to see more of this, not less, I fear. Also, note - this happens in the courts as well.
I think there is one extremely important takeaway from all of this:

> At the heart of the protesters demands is an end to the political quota system, which was put in place after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 and sees positions shared out between sects.

I am unfamiliar with the situation in Iraq, but the same shit was done onto Bosnia and Kosovo. Both quasi-countries with quasi-governments, dysfunctional to the core, their corrupt elites kept in power by central powers in the US and EU to perpetuate the geopolitical status quo. By doing so they artificially keep the population from progressing, economically as well as socially. Parliaments are turned into dysfunctional chessboards for every power but the local people.

It's pretty obvious that this 21st century type of state building isn't much different from classic colonialism. Some people involved might want only the best for the locals, but then again so did the colonialists in their perverse ways.

Countries simply cannot be build without self determination and democracy. Quotas and veto powers are inherently anti-democratic.

I've always thought that the arguments from the anti-gun crowd defied all logic. If access to guns was the root of the problem, then gun violence should be going down, rather than up. Far fewer people own guns now than did, say 150 or 200 years ago (when it was probably close to 100%). Solving the problem by focusing on guns is trying to treat the symptom rather than the disease.
The Far Sound – A Brief History of Telephone Technologies from Bell Labs (1961)
When I was at MIT, we spent a History of CS class on him. The fact that you can calculate te theoretical limit on info transmitted given a channel's parameters is kinda mind-blowing. Like Einstein figuring our theoretical limit on velocity.

He also wrote one of the most important master theses ever - from his NYT obit - "In what has been described as one of the most important master's theses ever written, he showed how Boolean logic, in which problems can be solved by manipulating just two symbols, 1 and 0, could be carried out automatically with electrical switching circuits. The symbol 1 could be represented by a switch that was turned on; 0 would be a switch that was turned off."

Computers have uses beyond hacking. Guns are for killing. Killing in self-defense, honing your killing skills as a sport/recreation activity, deterring bad behavior by threat of killing, killing things that are socially acceptable to kill (i.e. game animals), sure, but the theme is killing.

Lockpicks might be a better example. Many similar arguments apply: their use is to open doors without the correct keys, which only a few specialized professions should have a legitimate need to do. Yet on the other hand we ought to be able to tinker with our private property, evaluate its security (bad guys will get lockpicks anyway), let ourselves in if we get locked out, publish security research on "unpickable" locks and participate in locksport.

Or for a more direct computing analogy, Metasploit. It is unambiguously a hacking tool, but it remains legal because bad guys will always get hacking tools, and the good guys need to be able to evaluate their defenses.
I recently read his (first) paper [1] on the Spineless Tagless Graph Redunction Machine (STG), which forms one of the lower-level backends of the main Haskell compiler GHC.

After understanding the paper well enough to implement it from scratch (without any further literature), I have to say, albeit some 25 years late, how impressed I am by both his research and his ability to convey it. If you're interested in understanding how Haskell evaluation is done, I cannot recommend the paper enough.

Ironically, you've just described the concealed-carry laws that are proliferating through the states right now, which are all based on hunches and gut feeling. As a gun owner over the last two decades, do you feel as uneasy about that proliferation?
Well, the Kurds more or less did. If we had done EVERYTHING perfectly, we might have been able to get one of either the Sunnis or Shiites to de facto support our presence. But we didn't.
I would imagine a stipulation of the original subpoena would involve not sharing the source of Lavabit. It sounds as though what Ladar has done is re-engineer Lavabit in the form of Dark Mail to bypass any gag orders.
That's an idea, but isn't what something like Glassdoor is supposed to be? They are mostly known for reviews once on the job, but I believe they have a section about the interview process.

I personally keep a record of a blacklist of companies that don't behave well. It's sourced either from personal experience or friends/co-workers/etc. When they reach out to me I have no problem telling them that their reputation is not good and that I'm not interested in talking to them.
What you describe has nothing to do with the Java Memory Model, but with GC tuning, which is an implementation detail. The JMM governs multi-threaded shared memory access semantics. C++11 also defines a MM, inspired by the JMM. V8 and Python are a long way from anything resembling an MM.

Celebrating women's "important contributions to history" feels so weird in contexts like these. They were human computers, following very specific instructions sequence by sequence. Why would this be something to celebrate?

Maybe I'm just extrapolating from the many similar stories from Bletchley Park. Still feels really weird to me, though.

And before you accuse me of misogny: The reason I point this out is that there's surely more interesting historical news involving women (if gender is suddenly a critical factor) than people essentially doing mindless drudgery over and over again some time in the past?
What would they get in return?

The right to own new machine guns made after 1986, and aren't additions before that that are not already in the pool of 200,000 forbidden?

Removing the many state restrictions on magazine size, and against "assault weapons", which the Congress has explicit, original Constitutional power to do, forget about the 2nd Amendment.

Removing post-Reconstruction laws like the sheriff's permit to buy a handgun in North Carolina.

In general, there's a host of "flypaper" laws that are designed to make it harder and more dangerous to keep and bear arms, and only serve such purposes, that clearing away a bunch of them would be a big thing for us.

Reform the BATFE.

That's just off the top of my head in 2 minutes.
Interesting! I appreciate the response. Sorry that you have to deal with that, though.
If the government really wanted to push "smart guns," they could do it easily. How? Well, the U.S government is the single biggest purchaser of guns & ammo in the world. If they required all of their guns to be smart guns, manufacturers would suddenly shift production to make smart guns and it would raise the cost of production (and thus the price) for traditional weapons. But as you and others in this thread have stated, this has a number of problems not only for the government but for users and their legal rights.
Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely do that. There's a certain point where I threw my arms in the air and learned to accept it, and I hit it. :)

There are at least two periods 'before good search engines'.

I guess there was a time in the 1950s/1960s when you asked the guy sitting in the next room, who wrote the software, what the error meant, or where you simply read the source code or disassembled the code to figure it out.

When computers became more common, but weren't powerful enough yet for storing electronic documentation, you didn't crack open the tome; you already had it open (and it was more often a tome on the OS than one on the language) You also typically had a printed list of error codes on your desk.

When memory became less scarce, you would see header files with extensive (for the time) documentation, and there were tools to look up API calls, error codes, etc. (I think Windows or Visual Studio still ship with one)

When CD-ROMs became common, you had documentation on CD. Later, when hard disks outgrew CD-ROMs, that data moved to hard disk, because that was faster, and multi-CD setups became common-place.

Those CDs later moved to the web. That often made searches even faster (for example, I remember searching Apple's or Microsoft's site being faster than searching a locally installed MSDN (yes, MSDN was an application before it became a web site) or Apple's documentation for a while)

Also, I read release notes front to back, and used to read almost all API documentation. I think that was fairly common. Without the likes of HN to distract you, there was plenty of time to do that :-)

Since search engines weren't that good, it also was useful. If you didn't know the name of an API call or at least that of a technology, it was almost impossible to find it.
I would love a fully functioning version of this. However, it didn't load the first web page I tried (www.tradingview.com).
Have you tried obtaining a CCW in Chicago? In order to get one you have to:

-Take a 16 hour course. There are only a handful of companies that can offer the course and they're fully booked year-round

-Pay $150, one of the highest CCW permit fees in the nation

-Hope that you aren't one of the 800 applicants/year that are inexplicably denied (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-07-04/news/ct-concea...)

So yes, you can technically get a CCW in Illinois. It's also obvious that the state has thrown as many roadblocks as they legally could in the way, ironically bolstering the NRA's argument that any "common sense" requirements around gun ownership will be used as de facto restrictions
I have written scripts to automate commits. What I'd really like is to keep a history of every modification I make. Having that history already in a git repo just seems like bonus.
