Definitely. You might not even have to consider baking time or temperature to get a good enough number to cover the calorie difference from lost carbohydrates and produced ethanol to meet the level of accuracy required for food labels.

I only brought it up in the first place because whenever a simple solution to a complicated problem is put forward, it will inevitably turn out that it's either not general enough or special cases need to be handled to keep it simple. There's nothing wrong with needing special cases, but it's always nicer to figure out what the special cases will be before someone does a bunch of architectural work that hasn't considered them.
"What I love about flask is that it does not do too much magic like django"

So having used both, I'd nitpick you on this assertion.

from flask import request

Nevertheless, it's a good framework!
You answer your own question.

It's a news outlet.

They can use/abuse their position to make hay in ways nobody else can.
No, it's having a negative effect on rawhide which is "the current development version of Fedora".

You act like every single systemd user on the planet upgraded to the bleeding edge version of systemd and had this configuration option changed on them overnight.
Just bought my ticket to the one in Disney coming up. Can't wait.
Yep. That's the first thing I though of when I started reading this article. Twenty years ago? Wow. Time flies. And while I enjoyed this Arstechnica article, I quickly came to the conclusion that Stephenson is a better writer. Dormon didn't even mention the sharks that plague the undersea cables! If I recall, for some reason, they like to chew on the cables.
> I've had this feeling for a while that unit testing tools are ripe for 'disruption'. The main problem I see is relating the test cases "back" to features and broken/flaky tests.

This is part of my interest. For one of the nastiest debugging sessions in recent memory, I eventually resorted to performing a manual perforce bisect of history (no p4 bisect), and manual testing to invoke system UI. This revealed that spamming some call to check internet connectivity would cause a "crash" (via exit(3) with no useful debug spam and an equally useless callstack) if you opened the windows 8 charm bar for more than 10 seconds in a certain way.

I spent a good week or two trying to track that down before resorting to brute force. So there's two tools right there that would've saved me a ton of time:

1) p4 bisect. git bisect exists - writing tools to iterate over arbitrary VCSes shouldn't be that hard.

2) System level input capture and replay. This already exists in the form of tools like AutoHotKey, and there's similar tools for e.g. Xbox 360 gamepad input - but these are scattered tools, each which must be separately learned, configured, and integrated, and usually not focused on creating 'unit' tests.

.

There's also a lot of low hanging fruit for basic test types. Most unit test frameworks offer little more than a fancy assert(). Some build systems will have some basic correlation of test failures to VCS versions. Meanwhile, I want to test things like...:

1) Did change X impact this performance-critical bit of software? What about on other machines than mine? I shouldn't have to manually profile every change to see performance impacts, good or bad. I have a very basic prototype of this displaying the results of my latest checkin @ http://test.maulingmonkey.com/

2) I have a GLSL shader that works on my device (tm). I want automatic test failures when it turns out this shader crashes the driver when linking the shader on phones with a specific GPU vendor. This boils down to little more than having better tools to manage the running of unit tests against multiple machines/devices, and correlating the results in a sane fashion. Running database unit tests against every phone is usually a waste of time, but running graphics unit tests against only the phones connected to the build machines isn't enough - it should test against every phone connected to a workstation in the studio overnight. It should also test against the AWS Device Farm.

3) I have a cross-platform renderer that works on PS4, XB1, Windows, OS X, iOS, and Android. If I render this scene, do I get approximately the same result? Or is XB1 rendering a black screen instead? Do certain Android phones have major precision issues? Which GPU Driver versions misrender?

4) I want to fuzz-test user profile parsing. "Forever" - by which I mean, whenever a build machine or workstation is idle. So just script your CI server to run SDL MiniFuzz! But I also want to fuzz things which don't have a file based interface - such as network protocols, containers, user control input, ...
Entrpreneurship Means I Give Up
The Two-Week Sleep Experiment
I suspect it's not a large effect for bread. My family bakes our own bread, and I would say without having measured it on a scale, that there's not a noticeable loss of weight from one end of the process to the other. Also, you'd notice the stuff bubbling if there were a significant production of CO2.

I've also made beer, and it bubbles like crazy once it gets working. One possible difference is that bread is made from (mostly) starch, whereas beermaking converts starches to sugars before fermentation, and the yeasts can work more efficiently on sugars.

Of course you can also load up commercial pizza with sugar... one of the reasons why we make our own pizza.

Hello. I'm the guy that funded the amd64 port of the Ken C compilers (later used by the Go team) and amd64 port for Plan 9, did the Xen 2 and lguest ports of Plan 9, wrote the first 9p file system implementation for Linux, and ran the project that ported Plan 9 to 3 generations of the Blue Gene supercomputer (to name a few Plan 9 things). I wanted to make a few comments about Harvey since it came up here.

C compiler: yes, years ago, Ken C was faster than alternatives like gcc. To my surprise, that's no longer true. A full build of all the plan 9 libraries, tools, and kernels takes about 2-3 minutes with ken c, gcc, and clang. It's why on every push to github we can do a full build with both gcc and clang using travis. There's no longer a good reason to stick with the Plan 9 C compiler and, once the Go team dropped it too, there were lots of good reasons to move away from it. So we did. As the original paper from Ken pointed out, it only ever produced medium quality code. It also had several bugs with 64-bit scalars that people had to work around in their C code. It was fast but in the end not a very good compiler.

Unix wrinkles: there are so many, but just consider the sockets interface. Sockets completely break the Unix model of named entities that you can open and close and read and write. Sockets don't have names and are not visible in the file system. It's a long list of what they got wrong and that's why, in 1978, other mechanisms were proposed (if you're willing to dig you can find the RFC and you'll see ideas like /dev/tcp/hostname and so on). But to our dismay (I was there at the time) the current BSD socket interface won. Many of us were disappointed by that decision but it was the fastest way to get network support into Unix.

On the acceptance of Harvey: Presotto and Hume showed up for our BOF at the 2015 Usenix in Santa Clara and were very supportive of what we are doing with Harvey. Other former members of the Bell Labs community have been similarly supportive.

On the logo: I'm glad people like it.

On the way forward: we welcome new contributors, there's lots of work to do.
You can also use Quandl data too (most series are free). I subscribe to Bloomberg and it's great data source, but obviously it's not that cheap. (I'm the developer of PyThalesians - if you'd like me to add other data sources let me know!)
Every penny counts. Even if it's only a couple of thousand every month that's part of a year of dev time paid for, who could be focussed on infrastructure efficiency etc.

This makes me wonder if ebooks have the same effect --- because these days, owning a few thousand of them or more, although perhaps maybe not completely legally, is nothing more than the price of an Internet connection.
This is a series of cell phone shots of an exchange of letters between Backus and Dijkstra. There is no transcript and some of the letters are hard to read, especially the handwritten ones.

I only skimmed it but it is definitely an interesting read.
I didn't interpret their stance as arrogant though. In my book both are enthusiastic about their subject and think the other party is misguided. Both take some effort not to hurt the others feelings while still bringing their point across.
He mentioned seasickness as an example, yet people still go on cruises.

I think the problem will be "solved" with a combination of improvements in the tech (light field, etc), conditioning (the brain has surprising plasticity, especially if you condition it from a very young age), custom designed applications (to avoid the motion problem), and maybe lots of nausea medication. :-)
But is it not true that a random port helps specifically against DoS attacks?
Tofugu's Kanji Knowledge Database
Personally, I'm more surprised it takes most people multiple times and months of prep when you hear is Stanford freshmen getting internships with no additional effort save for reading CTCI.
I don't know about Schizophrenia, but I think a world with more high-IQ people with Asperger's wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

I mean, I'm not a proponent of the (semi-serious?) thought that "aspies are the next step in human evolution", but since I was diagnosed myself recently, I've found myself imagining what such a world would be like every once in a while...

Anyways, I'm all in favor of some forms of 'eugenics' as our knowledge about the effects increase. We've been helping our own evolution along for quite a while now, so I don't see why tinkering with our genes should somehow be completely off-limits.
Priming (psychology)
I trust two countermeasures over just one.
That much was obvious when Google (Rubin) bought them. Expecting a commericial product from BD in short order is absurd. Expecting them to abandon 35 years of work on hydraulic legs and go back to the drawing board is worse.

I guess we'll never know what Rubin was thinking when he went on a shopping spree with daddy's credit card; or if he was thinking at all.

Hopefully Toyota will be more accomodating; and maybe somewhere in the 2030 timeframe it will be time to start thinking seriously about commercializing useful bipedal robots. A company with decades of experience mass producing machines with 1000s of separate components I'm sure will be much better equipped to handle that than Alphabet.
TTIP is pushed by corporations, not individual rich people. A corporation will want that even if every one of its stockholders has a below-median wealth. More generally, organizations and people working for them will pursue their goals and these goals will be misaligned with the interests of the population at large even if nobody is involved whose net worth is particularly remarkable. If corporations are eliminated and most work is done by government agencies, then these new organizations simply become more shielded from all sorts of punishment from the population compared to corporations.

The rising nominal wealth of the richest people since 2008 is largely a result of asset price inflation resulting from low interest rates; the wealthy person is not more wealthy, however, holding a more expensive stock if the dividends and the profits are about the same as they used to be when interest rates were higher and stocks were cheaper, in fact the wealthy person is largely worse off since risk-free income is gone.

As to "unjust and dysfunctional"... aren't we all. At least a rich person can lose money in a variety of scenarios and can be intimidated by this possibility. A tenured academic pays no price whatever he does, so he's more scary that way.

edit: I'm not saying people aren't responsible, just that many of those responsible aren't that rich, and even if you mandate a ceiling on wealth and income, guess what, people will still want to get things done (because you will have a mechanism making them want to, otherwise nothing gets done - of course you can very much choose that, too), and guess what, people will get "their" things done at your expense.

In fact it's people who blame the rich who claim that people aren't responsible (their money/assets - the thing making them rich people on top of just "people" - is responsible.) I'm absolutely saying that people are responsible, and taking money from people will not solve very much.

This is not to say that nothing can be done; jailing wealthy criminals is a good start. A great economist whom nobody will blame for excessive concern for the welfare of the wealthy who'll be glad to show you his list of things to do, but who's nonetheless not "Pikettian", is Dean Baker.
The good thing about the US govt is that it can't operate with as much secrecy as a private entity, nor can it operate without accountability.

I also disagree in theory about allocation efficiency. Govt is inefficient, but so are humans and corporations. Look at the huge amount Zuck wasted trying to fix NJ school districts without understanding the problem.
> I don't know anyone who would say the majority of Java applications aren't huge, slow, memory-hogging beasts

This is really a matter of perspective. A typical enterprise application is running on a beafy multicore processor and spending most of its threads' cycles waiting for database IO. Also, it's not really a concern if your jar file is 100 MB when your machine has 256 GB of ram. From this perspective, the fact that an application can be quickly slapped together from the multitude of Java libraries and frameworks by a stackoverflow savvy junior developer far far outweighs the marginal performance benefits that could be gained from using a language that compiles to native code.

The fact is that Hotspot has made the jvm perform "good enough" for this kind of domain. And keep in mind that many enterprise developers (at least in my experience) have never used a language besides Java, so this level of performance is normal to them.
I just released my first Flask extension called Flask-Ask for developing Amazon Echo skills https://github.com/johnwheeler/flask-ask

Flask is a fantastic, minimal framework, and Mitsuhiko did so much to help new developers integrate into the ecosystem he created. For example, I was able to use his documentation templates https://johnwheeler.org/flask-ask/, and he had multiple versions for small and large projects. When you dive in it's pretty amazing what they've accomplished over the last 5 years.

"Unpythonic" must be something positive. Whenever someone uses that word, I like the code or the application in question.

"Pythonic" seems to mean using magic until an application works in 99% of the cases, satisfies some superficial criteria of readability to those intimately familiar with it and is utterly un-debuggable for those who aren't.
How does the title: "We need to challenge the myth that the rich are specially-talented wealth creators"

Become: "The very rich are unjust and dysfunctional" ?
I'd very much appreciate it if both of you present some evidence, because I now realize my vague assumptions about this are not really based on anything...
The title "This guy’s arrogance takes your breath away" is taken directly from Backus's own description of this collection of letters. I've changed the title to make clearer that it is a direct quotation.

Unfortunately, the Library of Congress does not allow scanners without prior approval, so this was the only way I could make my own copies. It did not help that all these letters were written or typed on very thin mimeograph paper.

50 Stunning National Parks Outside the U.S
I've got a vive and at this point I've probably spent around 40 hours in it, including a few multi-hour sessions. Before that I played with an early Rift dev kit for several days.

The biggest issue is when the world moves without you - Windlands is a big culprit here. In general standing and using controller locomotion so far has been a recipe for nausea.

But outside of that, so far everyone who has used my unit (and that's about 20 some people currently) has had a blast. No cases of simulator sickness (and I've only seen two reports of that in the community as a whole so far) and no nausea other than an initial misattempt with Windlands.

Sorry, VR is probably here to stay, though whether it goes mainstream will be about whether or not the price can drop quickly.
I have a hard time believing that driving after using VR is the same as driving drunk. The problems described are real, but we need to work towards solving them sooner or later so why not now? It will get better and better over time.
Always connected? I really envy you.

"Synthetic route" would be a better description than "platform."

Nevertheless, this is a long, complicated synthetic procedure. It may be simpler than others, but it's much more elaborate than the approaches to many other drugs.

At the end of the day, you end up with a molecule whose pharmacological properties may be very far removed from what you're looking for. These are big, highly functionalized molecules - in other words far from ideal drug candidates.

As others have noted, the biggest hurdles in drug development come late in the process. That's when, after spending hundreds of millions of dollars on Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies, a company finally figures out if they have a drug or not.

Drug development is most decidedly a "waterfall" process. There is no such thing as Agile Drug Discovery, and this paper doesn't really move the goalposts on that front.
Is there anything particular about XMPP that is poor?
If anyone can find a reference on the amount of CO2 produced during bread making it would be easy enough to calculate. I haven't been able to find any relevant sources except this old one [1] which mentions that the alcohol content in bread can be as high as 1.9 percent (which sounds quite high to me, but it's hard to critique when they don't explain their methodology).

> canonical problem in software engineering in at most 500 source lines of code

I'll reserve judgement of the book for when its in a form I can easily read, but this seems to come up on the wrong side of the "less isn't always more" line.

I can implement a lot of logic in 500 lines of code, but I won't be able to go back a month later and understand any of it, at least not without rebuilding the logic from scratch. And I certainly can't also implement the safety checks, corner cases, and tests in that line quota.

I would personally think there is more value in showcasing a single complete and well commented solution instead of a slew of partial solutions with "the error checking left as an exercise to the reader" (I'm not sure if this phrase is in the book, I plucked it from any number of poor college textbooks).
Cortez Bank?
I heard it hits 100 ft on occasion and had been surfed.

Coincidentally, a group of stand-up skiers rode it in '07 @ 80ft, if memory serves. I cannot find pix @ the moment, and sadly, I never saw/heard of any video taken that day. If they can be found, the pic of Randy Laine barreling down the monster face as the tip of the underwater mountain appeared in the trough ahead if him was chilling. He bunny-hopped it.

Energy determinism is one of the worst theories of civilization.

I remember that book "Hubbert's peak" that came out around 2000, to his credit he did say that the bullet could be dodged if somebody figured out how to deliver energy into shale in such a way to get the trapped oil and gas out and you know somebody did.

Some other guys had a site called "dieoff.com" that predicted that electric grids would go down circa 2013.

The one thing that is predictable about energy pricing is that it is volatile in the short term and remarkably stable in the long term.

We have enough energy in the nuclear waste that is already above ground to run our civlization for a few centuries, we may not have the will to use it yet, but that will will materialize if things get dire enough. Fukushima set things back a few decades, but it is not a story about nuclear power being dangerous as much as it is the operators being too cheap to spend $1M fortifying the diesel generator installation a bit.
The last long missing piece finally dropped! I can't wait to kick the tires on this! Many thanks and much gratitude to iXsystems and Spectralogic for working on this, and submitting their hard work and effort on this into the base.

There is an existing solution to give you this protection, it's called port knocking.
> A tenured academic pays no price whatever he does, so he's more scary that way.

...well, with the exception of reputational damage, which has significant meaning to a lot of people in academic pursuits. There's also the low risk with any especially egregious matter that the tenured professor might lose that status.

Some people value their money. Some people value their brand. Some people value their time. Some people value success. Anyone can be "intimidated by the possibility" of losing what they value, and all of those, among many others, are neither infinitely accessible nor perfectly sustainable.
