Could you and the girl have shared the same IP address at some point (because of store Wi-Fi, or CGNAT with your cell carrier) ?

Disclaimer : I'm a former FB engineer but have no specific knowledge of this area. I suspect that IP addresses could be used as input for the PYMK feature though (in the absence of anything better, as you had 0 friends), as they are for security systems.
Nothing open source yet. I might take the metrics system out and publish it on Github when I've used it in another service and it is a bit more generalized.
Exactly - this was just the opening page to the article I would have like to have read; that may be because I did my apprenticeship in the UK Atomic industry and long for my 20s, but maybe it's because it would be really interesting to read about this stuff - I had no idea people were doing this sort of thing as a hobby.

Data Science Online Courses on the Subject of Data Cleaning
I'm a mechanical engineer and I'm currently in a software job because I fell in love with Project Euler. Turns out a ton of modern software development doesn't care a whit about the algorithmic considerations PE makes you learn about. It's not very rewarding.
Any examples? I'm cleaning up bad data now.
I guess it's one thing to claim Java generics have problems and another to claim they are "useless".

They are a big improvement over not having generics and, in my experience, one seldom sees those workarounds you mentioned. Sure, when they are necessary they are ugly... but how often are they needed in standard application code?
If there is a demo, people might try it out.

If there is a demo, I expect more people might try it out if the demo does not require logging in...even if the end product does.

This might provide better feedback on the idea and its implementation.

Good luck
> Avoiding turing completeness

Avoiding? Why would you want to avoid it? Guaranteeing that a compiler halts on any input is not something that is necessary in practice, and it restricts the amount of processing that can be done on the code during compilation.
This isn't a new law. There are no new laws being made here. This is a good application of a law.

If there is a bad application of a law then protest the law. Pragmatism is the only short term solution and Thiel acted pragmatically.

I am glad that a precedent has been affirmed that leaking video of my private actions and spending ad dollars to share it would be punishable by law.
If there is so much octopus, why do I rarely see it on a menu?
> In this case, no matter how badly Thiel was personally hurt by Gawker, or how morally wrong their actions were, he is the one with far greater power, and the appropriate approach is not to leverage said power in an act of vigilantism, but to exercise the responsibility of defending the conditions that made his power possible to emerge, conditions that I believe are to the long-term benefit of everyone.

One could argue that is exactly what he is doing. He is fighting for civility.
What are the issues? I've never worked with Java enough to see them. I will say that reflection with generic types and methods in C# is a hassle.
Now the waiting is for the first compiler that compiles to Java Generics.
It is a lot, when we need to scale by adding more Mesos tasks. Every task launches a new JVM instance, which adds to the total memory usage. Also by using a GC and not wanting to collect all the time, you need to add more memory overhead, which is not required with Rust.

Comparison: I have one app written with Scala and consuming 350 megabytes per Mesos task. The similar-sized Rust app is using 8-10 megabytes of RAM. When you have 1000 instances running during a peak, this escalates fast.
Yes they should, and that is exactly what is happening in Base, and has been happening for a while. A project like Julia doesn't have too much dev time input, so you cannot expect this to happen over night.
> A type system that rejects your code is like a teacher looking at a proof you just wrote, and tells you "this doesn't even make sense, and here's why".

Not only that: the Rust compiler, for many cases, will suggest calling it with a ‘--explain’ argument to get an explanation of what’s causing the error and, usually, how to solve it. A very friendly feature.

These are Farnswoth Fusors[1], first developed by Philo T Farnsworth, one of the inventors of television.

The devices use about 100,000x more energy than they produce FROM FUSION (edit, thanks), but some fusion does occur. An individual ion can be heated by 11,000 kelvins with a single electron volt, so 15,000ev is enough to reach fusion temperature. The statistical challenge is getting ions to collide - overcome the (repelling) coulomb force - and fuse.

There are discusson groups online for this topic [2] and there's even a high school in the Seattle area that has a fusor [3].

Unfortunately, most of the time when you come across a mutex you have to assume it's necessary. It's very hard to regression test code after removing a mutex, chances are you are not going to encounter the race condition which the mutex protects against (unless it's well documented, of course).

I am surprised by how many people fundamentally misunderstand the authors point. Surely he knows that a well educated workforce is important for an economy.

However what the author is addressing is this naive belief that education almost exclusively can solve poverty problems. This is the idea which has been thrown around for years. Governments, economists etc have focused far too much on presenting statistics showing the benefits of education in general without any concern for what people actually learn or whether there is ever a potential for just spending too much time on education.

As someone who has believed for years we are over-educating our people in the west, I've generally felt a complete dismissal of this opinion. Education helps! End of discussion, is the feeling I sense.

If you care to look it is pretty clear that the education hysteria has gone off the rails. Jobs people could perfectly well do with high school education, now requires a bachelor. Suddenly a master is a requirement where usually a bachelors degree would be sufficient. We have come to believe learning only happens in school. That is where I think we are going wrong.

My mother is a journalist and never took more than high school education. Yet she is a very accomplished journalist which knows a lot about her field. Today it is next to impossible to become a journalist without having lots of education, often multiple degrees.

A software developer with a Bachlor and two years of work experience doesn't know less than a student fresh out of a Master program. They just know different stuff.

What the people need to get out of poverty is relevant skills for the economy, but that is not a game of making sure your country has ever higher percentages of college graduates. Switzerland is a case in point. It is a high tech economy with some of the lowest level of college education. How can this be? Because in Switzerland almost anything can be learned through vocational training programs. Massive amounts of learning is happening in a sophisticated private enterprise. That just doesn't show up on the kind of statistics politicians obsesses about.

We don't need more education. We need education far better aligned with the needs of the economy and private enterprise. We also need to make it accessible people at all rungs of society.

X number of years of education in the US is not going to help when so many schools in poor areas of America are exceptionally bad. There is no mystery to this. America is the only advance country where the bulk of education spending goes to the well of rather than the needy. This is through the American tradition requiring students to go to their school district and tying funding to property taxes as well as relying on substantial amounts of fundraising by parents.

It is a bit late to start handing out scholarships for poor but talented students when they reach college age. The damage has already been done. You got to start thinking education from the very first years.
You're not addressing what seems to me to be the most significant part of the OP's argument. Getting dropouts to get high school diploma's should be the biggest win - and isn't related to college degree choice or business models. Yet it looks to have been the biggest loser.

> There is more stuff available, true, but the quality of documentation is abysmal compared to what we used to have before.

What did you expect? Nowadays, there is a common expectation, especially among web development libraries, for frequent updates, especially in the cases of bugs, etc. In the eyes of the people, functionality became more important than the documentation (though those people would like to claim otherwise, I'm sure).

The demand is for the new code to be available ASAP. And as a result, the documentation suffers, and the implementations and details change faster than the documentation can be maintained.

The emphasis of maintaining good documentation is further lessened by sources like StackOverflow, which provide the library maintainers with an excuse of "we can skip this step, since it will be covered in SO and countless blogs anyway. It's not like we're the only source of information."

This is just an unfortunate symptom of the modern coding ecosystem. Good documentation requires stability and consistency, which today are discouraged in favor of flexibility and quick turnovers.
> They could do whatever the hell they wanted, publishing for the editorial integrity rather than to get pageviews.

I don't understand how this applies to a sex tape.
It can do truly agent-less using raw mode (which is basically raw SSH). That said a version of Python 2 can be relied upon to be available on almost all Linux box.
It is illegal, inconvenient, and low-status to live or try to live, in the US, as the poor in India, or other poorer countries, do; e.g. authorities will evict tenants living in illegal housing (and prosecute their landlords), almost no one brings their small children to work with them, building/labor/etc. standards are much more stringent legally (and culturally).

Sure - the net result of this is that American poor people live in larger and much higher quality homes. Wouldn't that reduce stress?

Relative poverty is an odd explanation for a change over time - if you plot a graph of % of population in the bottom 10%, you'll discover it never changes. So how can you use this to explain a change over time?

I suppose one could take a "red pill" style explanation - female hypergamy combined with low perceived status can cause relationship stress. In the past, poor black people were segregated from everyone else. So a poor black man who has a badly paid job and goes to church regularly might be high status within his community. Thus, his wife will perceive him as high status and will not make trouble within the relationship.

Racial and economic integration has then reduced his perceived status, and she causes trouble. The only solution to this I could see is status based segregation - allow everyone to be high status within a narrow community. I don't much like this solution, nor do I see a useful way to force the culture to do this.
Impressive people, but I don't feel that I got a sense of what they were actually doing. I understand that it's a challenge for a writer who probably doesn't understand the subject well, to talk to the average read who doesn't understand it at all. Still, this feels like a wasted opportunity to teach, and to inform others with more knowledge about what these interesting people are doing.
How Did Humans Get Smart?
No it's not.

They paint Thiel as a supervillain for helping prosecute a company who did the wrong thing and cost someone their job.

The precedent that media companies can share and promote negative private data that doesn't contribute to the public good is a worse precedent than that a person can fund a lawsuit against a company to air those grievances in court.

My wife and I have been looking at cost of living options in a few areas such as the northern part of Virginia. Here in SC, we both work (no kids) and are able to save up.

Why Viggo Mortensen Is Off the Grid
"A loud clatter of gunk music flooded through the Heart of Gold cabin as Zaphod searched the sub-etha radio wave bands for news of himself. The machine was rather difficult to operate. For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive--you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure, of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same program. Zaphod waved a hand and the channel switched again." -From The Hitchhiker's Guide

It feels prescient, and the kind of thing we're going to be living through sooner rather than later.

I've dealt with RSI for many years and at one point it was so bad I could barely move my hands. Like others I had seen many different doctors, message therapist, acupuncture, etc... One of my doctors then suggested taking up Hot Yoga. I did this an it GREATLY helped me out. My RSI isn't totally gone, but its much more manageable, to the point that I don't normally notice it. Though, I will warn you that you don't see immediate results and when you see results will probably be determined on how bad your case is. I was in a really bad state so I ended up doing 5-6 sessions a week at first for 2-3 months. During this time though my issues greatly diminished.
Last week wanted to use GSON in a generic method to deserialize to a type which is generic type parameter, in a method of the abstract base class. Unfortunately it could not be done without the implementations passing up their .class via super constructor.

IMHO deserializing JSON is quite a common application code.

If you are really interrested I'd create example code, but (as being lazy, and the mentioned code not being my property) I'd hope to take my word for granted :)

Are you really that naive?

If you want to take down a news organization, the last thing you want to do is announce your plans if you're taking on an organization as ruthless as Gawker. I've watched small town newspapers masterfully destroy good people's careers who literally did nothing wrong. The newspapers simply sacrificed innocent people to sell more papers.

There is no fair and open forum when taking on a news organization.
Interesting to note that this is their first communication about this issue that I could find that came from 'legalnotice@linkedin.com'. With this language they knew about the breach and didn't tell me?! It sets a scary precedent that users are only notified if the information becomes available online. I could be supporting Hillary Clinton and this could be used as a vector for attack before the data dump. 0 Day information has real value.
How Technology Hijacks Minds – From a Magician and Google’s Design Ethicist
First off - what a great idea! How am I just finding out about this?

As an audio engineer, I know the first thing I want to use this on: a drum kit. Separate the cymbals from the skins!! Separate out the room sound from the direct sounds!! Get that pesky hi-hat out of the snare track!

Secondly - why only frequencies? Why not dynamics, stereo position, phase, and transient response? If I could switch the screen to show those things instead of frequency, I could isolate all kinds of other phenomena.

For example, isolate only the transients and turn them up/down, EQ them, add reverb to them, etc (drool). Non-engineers have no idea how potent this could be.

Or isolate only the instruments appearing at 30% off-center left?
The ACM almost never records any talks. Not sure why. Maybe it's to allow people to debate more freely.
I've always had a very hard time understanding how someone can do something requiring a high level of abstraction (programming), but cannot subtract one. It's simply amazing.

I've used several languages in both camps, and you know what? When I'm in Matlab I start my indeces at 1, and in C i start at 0. Who would have thought it would be that simple!
I try to log most errors and exceptions, and send them to a log-management tool. I use Loggly (they make it easy to run reports or get automated notifications based on error-type) but have heard good things about Splunk as well.

To monitor the actual servers, I tend to use CloudWatch (since we are on AWS), but New Relic and DataDog are popular options.

I also use Pingdom to hit all our servers routinely (once a minute or so), and let us know if something goes down or is taking too long to respond. This is a bit of a redundant check considering the other metrics we have, but I like having some redundancy there.

Hope that helps.
It matters mainly because we have come to the point where you need to be very rich to pursue justice. If Gawker wronged you, as a hundredaire, you're just SOL.

I think much of the anger at Thiel is really misplaced anger at a justice system seemingly built with the goal of enriching lawyers. Government's one job is to provide justice: why should people have to rely on private funding for it?
One of the advantages of Google is that technical documentation often omits critical details. How often do you look at something on MSDN, or Apple's docs, and just scratch your head? Then, a quick Google search fills in the missing information!
