I find it funny that when exclusivity is ever brought up it's talked about like some kind of conspiracy to take money from customers. It isn't a conspiracy and there aren't men in boardrooms laughing menacingly while smoking cigars. The truth is this is just the result of how the system works. That is capitalism and normal competition.

If all the streaming services offer the same content then none of them are special. And if one service ends up offering something you can only get from them then they have a leg up on the competition. Soon other services start trying to compete by getting exclusive content and eventually anyone who doesn't play the game is pushed out.

If we're serious about hating exclusive and if we want to move away from them then you need to talk about the system that causes it to happen.

In many respects deep meditative states resemble sensory deprivation. The majority of people find both calming, but hallucinations, altered states of consciousness and deeply unsettling experiences are possible in both cases.
Same with teaching French, Piano, Recorder, Photography. It will give people some exposure to something new. Most won't be interested, but a few would have discovered their passion.

Just because they were bad 10 years ago and are good now does not mean it took 10 years to get good. It means sometime in the last 10 years, they got good. That may have been yesterday, it may have been last year, or the year before, or the year before, etc.

I had no hair on my head when I was born. I have hair on my head now. Did it take me decades to grow hair, or did I grow it years ago and merely continue to have hair on my head to this day?

For the record you don't actually need to depend on new APIs like "document.execCommand('copy')", simply shifting focus to an off-screen textbox area when ctrl is down will do the trick in 95% of the cases, with full cross browser compatibility.
`x:T` is a typing judgment. A typing judgment is not a type, even if one of its constituent parts (`T`) is a type.

What you call “data-level propositions” is really just “data-level abstract syntax representation of propositions”. Propositions really are types. (Though, of course, there are types that are not propositions.)

And your example is simply not valid Haskell.
I have no doubt that you can build and maintain large websites with Padrino. But I already know Rails.

A new framework would have to do something for me that both Rails and Sinatra won't.

Ah well, I don't think there actually is such a use case. I thought maybe because I once started a project with Sinatra that I later wished I'd built with Rails.

Really it seems to boil down to what the application is supposed to be doing. If it's primarily something else that just maybe speaks HTTP, like a microservice, then Sinatra is the more flexible choice, you can encapsulate the web logic and build your own abstractions as you see fit.

If it's primarily a website, then you'll want a full-fledged batteries-included framework.

Projects don't start as a microservice and evolve into a website. The one project I started with Sinatra should have been Rails from the beginning, as it was really a website. I just used Sinatra because at the time I knew it better.
Are you sure what you found is not just Simpson's paradox?

When I look at the 2 KM plots for white/blacks, they are mostly the same. It's pretty clear that the model is not prejudiced against blacks, in fact it's somewhat prejudiced against whites. [1]

Your main editorial claim is that whites tend to be misclassified as "good" and blacks as "bad."

But I think what's actually happening is that algorithm is more likely to misclassify low_risk as "good", and high_risk as "bad".[2] Combine that with vastly more whites than blacks being low_risk (as you show earlier) and you get the observed "injustice".

I'll also note that the KM for whites flatten out at 2 years, unlike for blacks. This is actually a big deal if statistically significant. But that's a separate conversation.

Footnotes:

1 - this is acknowledged in methodology page "black defendants who scored higher did recidivate slightly more often than white defendants (63 percent vs. 59 percent)."

2 - why that is I don't yet fully understand (and I'd like to) but it looks's to be simple math that follows from low risk mostly not recidivating, and high risk mostly yes recidivating
Imagine if every email and report that you wrote at work was broadcast to the whole world and subject the vicious (yet shallow and unfair) scrutiny of the 24-hour news cycle. Can you see how that would hamper your ability to your job effectively?

Oh man it makes my heart ache to read what you wrote here.

> Programming intrinsically requires logical thinking and problem solving.

Doesn't everything that schools break down into rote steps to be followed dogmatically without understanding? From writing to your example math, there is nothing that inherently challenging interesting and enjoyable that a teacher can't turn into a mind-numbing chore.
> * males are more likely (~51% of births naturally, higher thanks to sex-selective terminations in China and India.)

In China, there may be more sons, but they're not likely to have brothers.

> * males die more frequently at younger ages, so older people will have fewer brothers than younger people.

Most people still consider dead siblings to be siblings.
Hi,

S3io looks interesting.

How difficult it will be to run S3io on S3 compatible cloud storage.

I am asking this because I work for www.minio.io, its open source cloud storage & would love to see S3io running on top of it. :)
Start with https://scratch.mit.edu/, which is both simple enough for a kid to grasp, relatable enough due to the whole game/interactive graphics angle, and "real" enough to teach some general programming concepts, such as control flow and variables.

If Scratch instruction bears fruit, consider continuing with Python or Ruby. The main thing is not to overthink this. Proficiency in any language will do.

Yes, I'm bothered that my 8yo daughter is picking up Python. Oh, the horror! There are no types. Yet I'd rather have her coding something as opposed to taking forever to enter the perfectly sensible realm of functional programming.

Remember: learning via counterexamples is also learning.
Yeah, they didn't mention "mental" or "illness", instead the article used the words "psychotic break" and "worsen symptoms in people who have certain psychiatric problems".

So, yes the article did cover what you wanted them to. Someone who has an underlying problem may not have a good experience when he digs deep and explores his own thoughts.
No offense, but your GTX480 is more than likely the cause of your visual issues. I hear you on mount space (I initially used bookshelves in my room like their preview video, then wall-mounted them which isn't ideal for everyone), but your claim that Vive hasn't shipped a working, polished product is pretty disingenuous.

Beyond that, what VR doesn't need as an ecosystem isn't fanboying (which your post comes off as, have you even tried the CV1 yet with your setup?) it needs its users to condemn actions like the ones taken by Oculus that weaken it as a whole. VR software is well and good for short demos, but the current catalog is small, of poor to mediocre quality, and generally too expensive for that quality. Users are going to remain on the fence (which is actually a positive for Oculus, with the release of Touch later on it'll reach feature parity with Vive's room-scale stuff and make it an easier sell) and smart studios are going to continue to wait before wasting any money on high-end VR development on PC.

Finally, all of this has finally convinced me that if you're interested in developing or investing in VR gaming the details on the PS4K and Playstation's VR roll-out at E3 are going to indicate how VR really fairs in its early years.

I'd just note that the best "marketed" vipassana retreat, dhamma.org/Goenka is extremely woo-ey. Apart from simply false claims (eg cloud chambers we're always useless), the stated purpose of his practise is to excise "deeply rooted" problems so as to reincarnate better. This is in spite of them insisting it's a pure technique with zero dogma.

I know that might not represent vipassana as a whole, just adding a warning since it's the most popular one.
zsh actually detects pastes into the terminal and doesn't submit the commands on newlines. This way you see the full command and have to hit enter yourself to run it.

It isn't perfect because people could try to obscure the command but in general it makes me a lot happier to paste commands into my terminal.
I don't see it as an 'unfortunate outcome' - it is a great outcome because it maximises the total value of the economic pie created by the movie and TV studios. The fact that movie studios can add restrictions when distributing digital content means that they can charge a fee closer to the value that consumers receive. This means (1) the studio shareholders get larger dividends, (2) the industry makes more movies; (3) consumers who are willing to pay get a wider choice; and (4) more people are employed in the industry.

In general it seems to me inefficient to have laws which prevent suppliers from charging fees close to the value they create. For example, if the government says "farmers cannot sell tomatoes for more than $2 per kilo" that would clearly restrict the total size of the 'economic pie' produced by growing tomatoes (shared between farmer and consumer). Similarly if we place restrictions on the kind of agreements that movie producers can negotiate with distributors it also limits the size of the movie industry.
What's stopping websites from minifying all their javascript into one file and preventing the site from functioning without JS?
Countries like Israel and Estonia are doing something similar. Meanwhile in the US we are teaching only 10% of our schoolchildren how to code. It will be interesting to see what these countries will be producing in 20 years; but, what I am more worried about if the US will still have its technological prowess.
Please stop. This is already way off topic, and making it about a specific person takes it into vendetta territory, which is far from the kind of discussion we want here.
The first 'code' I wrote was probably logo writer (turtles!) In kindergarten. It was fun. Then we did HyperCard and built all sorts of fun interactive designs.

Tldr: if kids can do art class, they can program and have fun doing it.
Confusing types with typing judgments is wrong. A type is just one of the constituent parts of a typing judgment.
Anecdote, just like lots of people have great times with psychedelics. If you search you'll see "some" stories of people suffering derealization/depersonalization after going on a meditation retreat, for instance.
Web Project Management: Version Control
I think programming coupled with mathematics has nothing but positive results. Code affects most of our environment and it will dominate every aspect of it in the near future. Knowing how things work and how to alter them is incentive enough from my point of view. You can make things fun like creating or changing game mechanics and kids will love it. Coding involves a lot of logic and that brings a positive effect on how they will think and take decisions later in life. Much like playing chess as a kid which shaped my mind to think more thoroughly.
Where are those Junior: DevOps Engineer, general software engineer, and front-end developer jobs?

Is it the responsibility of the job market to allow people to gain the experience needed to fill the mid-level and senior level jobs. Overall, how are we as aspiring developers supposed to gain the needed experience to fill the demanding roles?

I have several years of experience in IT via System/Network Administration and I've been teaching myself programming after my work hours (mostly JavaScript over the last 8 months). I've taken the Microsoft Virtual Academy for Introduction to Programming with Python, Getting Started with PowerShell 3.0, Advanced Tools & Scripting with PowerShell 3.0; Codecademy for HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Python even college for C# and a myriad of other free online courses to push my knowledge further.

As an individual that lives in Seattle, I'd love to fill an engaging and exciting opportunity to round out my experience while growing my skill set. Sadly, I'm just not seeing the opportunities out there that would allow me to move forward. I know that there are some that would say, create the opportunities to move your career forward. But, as an individual that is bound by an employment contract that has an "Employment Exclusivity" clause and broad reaching "Ownership Of Intangible Property" clause. That is extremely difficult.
There's also the other side of the thought process that states if companies are truly desperate for talent, that they'd find a way to curate and grow the talent in those areas to fill the demand. I don't know if that is even happening.
Hell, I'd even be willing to work at sub-standard wages if I was able to find an organization that is willing to work to mentor a candidate to solidify their skills and experience. (No, my current employer doesn't do that.) Average wage is what 89k/yr ... I'm pretty sure that several people would be willing to work for $54k to $60k if it meant the opportunity to grow their skills, knowledge and work on exciting projects. But, maybe I'm just thinking of myself here.
The Heart of the City Has a Pulse Featuring Renan Brazil Urban Dance Beats
College aged adults aren't immune to the long term effects of repeated head trauma. Unreported injuries among younger players may even be worse because of lying to stay in the game or trying to go all out to get noticed and win that lottery so many poor, talented kids buy into. But you don't see what happens after the years of them hurting themselves; no one follows and reports on the has beens who never made it, the ones who failed on the road the stardom.

Football is dangerous to long term brain health as long as people are impacting at any force with their heads and spines. There's more to the game than brute collisions and take downs, but it needs a rules update for it to be on the right side of modern medical science in the 21st century.

The only reasons not to are to protect the feelings of everyone who's been rooting on the pain and to shield the heads (how funny) from liability and litigation against their investments. If they admit the way it's being played hurts people and damages their brains, it'll be a shitstorm of guilt and blame. Parents, coaches, and fans all over are going to blame themselves for pushing their and other people's kids into getting late life brain damage for some local fame and and viewing pleasure.

Right now, someone is running damage control in the news saying reported concussions are higher for every sport compared to football-- emphasis on reported. No one is writing it down because it's just a "part of the game" unless they get knocked out or seize and EMS is called. If you're still on your feet and a smelling salt[1] gets your eyes focused, you're not concussed, you just need to toughen up. I wish I were exaggerating.

Tokyo metro is like a quarter of the population of Japan. Japan basically is Tokyo, to a degree that probably isn't matched by any other city / nation on Earth. Even if you insist on just looking at the 23 wards it's a big deal - 7% of the population lives in one of the 23 wards. That's like if 22 million people lived just within the one of the five boroughs of New York. (Comparing Tokyo metro with New York/Newark metro, imagine if 80 million people lived there, and how that would affect the influence of that area on the economy of the US.)

To suppose that Tokyo can go in one direction or stagnate while the rest of the country goes in another direction and prospers is just totally unrealistic.
You're right. It can, however, be configured higher using the `index.max_result_window`[1].

Ternaries aren't super readable.

Array.from(Array(100).keys()).map(k => k + 1).map(i => !(i % 15) && 'fizbizz' || !(i % 5) && 'buzz' || !(i % 3) && 'fizz' || i)
The value, I think, is that Japanese society as a whole will at least appreciate programming. Whether that appreciation is as a craft that is not always so easy, or as something that sometimes even approaches art, I do not know, but some of today's kids will be the ones who grow up to either approve or disapprove future projects. An understanding sown in youth and shared by a generation goes a long way.

Except meditation is sold (yes, sold) even to the mentally ill as if it were a completely benign cure-all, suitable for use in preventing or attenuating exactly that kind of mental disturbance.

After all, leaving someone alone with their own thoughts... what harm could that do? And who could be blamed for such problems, except the individual?

It's almost like prescribing absolutely nothing.

So, when someone tells you this will surely ease your pain, but, rather than cure, or even do nothing at all (the general assumption a naive individual might make), it greatly amplifies one's problems, as if one were given a service animal only to be viciously attacked by it, such a result is probably going to surprise you.
It depends on what the organisation has standardised on.

If there are people who know PostgreSQL already and they have the tooling for it, then they want to reuse that stack. If the organisation has standardised on MySQL/Oracle/SQL server/something else, then learning about and supporting PostgreSQL are additional headaches.

If PuppetDB was to support multiple backends, then you would find that every organisation would want to run on their own stack.

Ops has always been overloaded. That is the biggest reason why enterprise support contracts are a thing.

Most of the time I use mutt with imap for email. But I run the web app 40+ hours per week.
Apart from very purpose specific OSes I don't think anything is designed around it. But there's a lot of work done to enable it on current systems. Linux for example has sendfile(), splice(), socket options for packet mmap (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/packet_m...), COW on a lot of filesystems (which means zero-copy file copy), etc.

Sometimes you have to do a bit more work to achieve the zero-copy behaviour, but it's available is many cases.

The advantage Intel has built up is a tenuous one. They've had a lead in building up fabrication facilities for each new node. When we reach the final node - 5nm? whatever it is - the economies of scale will shift towards generic fabs. This will open the door to open designs such as RISC-V [0]. The future is looking bright for those who love freedom!

I have to say that the horrendous UI of Japanese consumer electronics in the 1980's and 90's seems quite closely linked to Japan's slide from the top of that market.

Seven years ago, when I first visited Japan, everyone used a clamshell phone with a godawful LCD interface. Today, everyone has an iPhone or iPhone clone (aka Korean or Chinese Android device). Even today, mobile carriers usually have a "Japanese Only" section on their website for the nationalists who insist on buying Japanese, and, sadly, those phones are very underwhelming by any reasonable standard in 2016.
> But the marketing team quickly discovered that none of the people threatening a boycott had ever bought a Subaru. Some of them had even misspelled “Subaru.”

I feel like this is such an important lesson in business. It's better to be loved by few and hated by many than to try to please everyone... because everyone has different needs and wants, conventional wisdom says that your target market can't just be "everyone". Even toothbrushes have different price points, colors, and positioning.
