If you're interested in debate, you should make an argument defending your position. Otherwise, it makes for very boring conversation.

If you do make an argument, I'd advise you to leave the whole "stealing" part aside. It's really only a weak shortcut to proving the immorality of content piracy, and it's better to avoid such tricks and show the full argument.

> No sane man would deny that. But no good captain would admit it.

There has to be a limit, though. I think there is a difference between strategically ignore hard situations for morale reasons and simple stuborness.

For some reason, this joke came to mind...

There was this young frenchman NCO who was appointed as Napoleon's aide. The man noticed that his master would, in the wake of a difficult battle, always make the same request:

"Jean-Baptiste, bring me my red shirt".

When he finally gathered the courage to question the Emperor about this curious behavior, the great general responded.

"The red shirt is meant to conceal any blood, so that the courage of my armies doesn't shatters at a critical point in battle, if I were to come wounded."

For years, Jean-Baptiste remained true and loyal to Napoleon, in good or ill. Then, in the wake of Waterloo, with all the armies of Europe allied together to stop them, he knew everything was lost when his master added a second request to the red shirt.

"And Jean-Baptiste, bring me my brown trousers as well".

omg who cares. wtf hn.
I shall address your points by paragraph:

1) Erm. There's only really two places you can get carbon - the ground, or the atmosphere. Any biofuel eventually comes from plants or algae, which get their carbon from the atmosphere. I don't really know where else you had in mind.

2) That doesn't make it inefficient. The whole point is that it's acting as storage rather than fuel. That's what makes it carbon-neutral - the carbon comes out of the atmosphere, then goes back (instead of out of the ground and into the atmosphere).

3) Not sure I buy that. Electricity distribution is hardly lossless (and what powers the power station?). Our best grid-scale storage solutions run about 75% efficient, while car-scale batteries leak charge much faster than a gasoline tank leaks gasoline. And both a gasoline car and an EV have to carry around heavy energy storage - the difference is the gasoline tank gets lighter as it empties.

4) To be fair, you have to compare the efficiency of the ICE to the combined efficiency of the motor, power station, and all intermediate storage (every time the power moves from one battery to another, you lose some, while gasoline can be stored and dispensed fairly losslessly). Transmission costs also have to compared like-for-like - grid scale distribution runs about 95% efficient, while oil tankers are 97-98% (though you have to factor in last-mile, and trucks are ten times as thirsty). I don't think the calculation is as clear-cut as you're making out.

It's also worth querying what exactly "efficiency" means. If the source is sustainable (and biofuel is), raw energy wastage is less important than gross environmental impact and safety. It's not clear to me that mining nuclear materials and dealing with the waste, or mining rare earth metals to carpet the land in solar panels, are necessarily better or more sustainable solutions that carpeting the land in fast-growing, high-energy crops and fuelling all of society that way. Perhaps it is a bad solution - it depends on how the numbers fall exactly on things like land use, (and possibly your values regarding safety decisions). If it's already been thoroughly analysed and found wanting, then I'd love to read that. But at the moment you've not really made an argument commensurate with the strength of your opinion.
> equal or accurate, you can't have both

By "equal and accurate", I mean a result that corresponds to actual recidivism rates for as many demographic groups as possible (males, females, different races, different ages, combinations of the above, etc). The analysis shows that it is substantially likely (certainly well-beyond the oft-vaunted "reasonable doubt" standard, nevermind the specifics of p-values being slightly above 0.5) that the algorithm being used doesn't provide such a result.
OTOH, there are places starting to do Software Engineering degrees that emphasize real-world practice. They'd benefit greatly from a survey of those texts. I'd be mildly surprised if that doesn't already happen though, at least for holy tomes like Man-Month or Peopleware.
Differs from ASCII art in that they're (all?) constructed of single letters repeated, and not always in a line, and not always complete letters. See the first example - all Bs, with erased areas, and even some curved rows of Bs.

ASCII art uses various characters in precise typographical lines and ideally uses the shapes of the various characters to represent the shape and shading of the desired image.
Philosophically, is there such a thing as "random" if the very essence of matter is always under the influence of some other force?

The difference is whether that influence is (theoretically) predictable; I believe that the current status is that such things as atomic decay are still considered "truly random".
If you do not support the meat industry, you might simply refuse to buy meat, without refusing to eat it.

You could still eat extra meat discarded by others, stolen meat, or free promotional steaks being given away as part of an advertising campaign.

How does this compare to a pure, recursion-free subset of Prolog? Not counting cosmetic differences, e.g., in Prolog, relation arguments are positional, whereas in the relational model, attributes have names.
It would be nice to upload Salt modules directly from GitLab.

Since you can deploy from GitLab too, auto-opening issues for failed builds makes sense. I opened an issue on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/17771

I predict you'll be setting up different environments a week before 8.9 since that is what we'll ship.
There's other good reasons to be "pure Ruby", educational value: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11757009

And also, while not terribly relevant in this specific case, deployment is easier if you don't have to build native libraries.

Sometimes it's worth going to C bindings for runtime speed, sometimes it's better to keep it purely native for development speed or other reasons.
Somewhere in the Bhagavad Gita there is this quote: "You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.". So you have a duty do your best but there is no guarantee that it will result in success. There is still an element of Karma or luck, whatever you may call it.
> whatever your issue with Coraline Ehmke is (I have no idea what the situation there is)

https://github.com/ContributorCovenant/contributor_covenant/...

https://medium.com/@duncan.bayne/coraline-2893dc09aea1

I don't have an issue with Coraline, personally, but I think her approach to SJ and OSS is abusive and damaging to the OSS community as a whole.

That's why I was aghast that GitHub hired her, in particular, into a position to influence their abuse and community management tools.

My queries to GitHub were always polite and decorous, and ditto my behaviour in person when talking to a GitHub staff member about the issue.
Prolog allows unification, which doesn't have a parallel in relational algebra. I'm not sure how much more power this gives you without recursion, though.

If you're interested in connections between relational algebra (and SQL, and databases) and logic programming, you should look at Datalog, which is a restricted subset of Prolog that is akin to relational algebra plus fixed points (transitive closure, for example). In particular, Datalog forbids compound terms (like lists) and recursion in a negated position.

I think Datalog without recursion/fixed-points is precisely as powerful as relational algebra, but I don't have a proof handy.
Yup. I believe GitHub's hiring of her constitutes a tacit endorsement of that behaviour.
Yes sure, but it's really hard to scale.
Scale on horizontally, not vertically. Vertical scalability is not true scalability.
It is about the Runners needing to be on version 1.2. We'll upgrade the .com autoscaling ones in the coming days. If you run your own autoscaling runners you can upgrade yourself.
That's Windows 10 Universal look-and-feel, which kinda goes back to the original parent comment. You're basically using a web library to emulate a native library that emulates a web library!

At that point, I'd rather just pull the eject handle and use Twitter Bootstrap or something.
"to" just doesn't make much sense. In a geometric sense, the writing isn't directed, the sending is. The writing is adressed, sure but towards doesn't fit, while it's correct to just adress someone. Just sending someone would be different. With writing, it's underspecified, because there is no "writing someone [down]" :)

In german, write me and write to me also work both, but these are the different grammatical cases dativ and akusativ. There are only four and I'm guessing here. They require the different forms "mir" or "[an] mich". These cases are called the same in english, correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't think this had anything to do with that incident, as Zach worked at GitHub for a long time (years?) after it happened. Here's an excerpt from GitHub's internal investigation which talks about the allegations other than those alleged against Tom Preston-Werner:

Thanks for the detailed explanation. But what is inherently different in films as in art form that dictates such convoluted distribution methods? Higher cost of production? Games also can have big budgets (admittedly usually not as big though), and there is some similarity with life cycle too. I.e. there is the initial rapid sales period, when some new game comes out. That's usually when developers get the huge chunk of their sales, and try to recover the cost of production. And also, during this period the biggest effort goes into marketing.

Then there is the period of gradual sales, i.e. people who don't buy the game because it's new / hyped, but because they like the genre, discovered it years later and so on (assuming it's a good game, and not some junk that gets forgotten for good as soon as it comes out). Over time such sales can be even significant, but they don't directly contribute to critical expenses recovery.

So for games both use cases are commonly addressed through similar distributors, yet for films this somehow poses a problem.

Looks sane, specially because you can (s/and ...) the specs so you should have reusable specs in some common namespace.
"If you base them on the quality of the experience, then you will find what you're looking for."

Maybe both given nobody buying it might say something. Spreading like wild fire with people buying the consoles just to play the game... as was common with Nintendo and Playstation... would definitely say something. So, quantity matters. We can focus on quality, though.

"What games in the 3D fighting genre were the equal of Soul Calibur at the time of release?"

My memory problem is hurting me here as it's a gap. I do recall playing it and even bought strategy guide for artwork. I used to collect them for best games even if I couldn't afford the system/game. I recall really liking it. Tekken, esp Tekken 2, was the genre-definer in that one having come first, done 3D, and versatile style of gameplay. I played the crap out of Tekken 2 but did marvel at Soulcaliber's weapons and extra gameplay.

Note: Interesting enough, the same team developed Tekken and Soulcalibur.

"I could go through a bunch of other high quality games that the Dreamcast had, but unless you've played them I doubt you'll believe me about how good they were."

Less imagination than usual, buddy. It's called YouTube and Google. :P Just list a few in different categories along with their predecessor or mainstream alternative on other consoles. I can see Dreamcast (or just coding) improvements by looking at both. Then, I can assess whether it was barely better, a substantial improvement, or gamechangingly better.

To start with, I looked up Tekken 2 and Soulcalibur on Youtube on original, release consoles. Nice nostalgia moment. Tekken 2 looked like it ran on a system with barely any 3D hardware and tiny CPU. ;) Did have strong variety in fighting styles, particle effects, difficult gameplay, and some 3D movement.

Now, Dreamcast was 128-bit instead of 32-bit, had almost 10x CPU speed, 15x polygons/sec, 8x RAM, 8x VRAM, and extra dedicated hardware. This was quantum leap in performance. Just the character screen shows the difference. To fight, characters look 3D for real with smooth animations and extra particle effects. Movement, plus cameras, in 3D was better. Use of combinations was smoother. Characters seemed to have less variety but seems to replace it with weapon use variety.

Doing comparisons, Soulcaliber looks like a team started with Tekken on way better hardware then improved a few parts of its gameplay. It looks like a Tekken expansion pack rather than a gamechanger. A beautiful expansion that corrects significant deficiencies. Gotta pass on this one, though. Tekken's on PSX were game changers for 3D given style that continued to be imitated, number of original aspects, and sales volume. I'm impressed that Soulcaliber perfecting that style got it perfect scores by reviewers.

What else you got? Whether I agree or not on impact it might be fun looking at them. Especially those I never got to play. Like when I watched Nightwarrior videos for the Saturn wishing I had it given all the neat artwork and moves. :)
Computing natural joins requires unification.
It's mostly just complex linear algebra, finite dimensional. So, think eigenvectors, eigenvalues and operators. Measurements are essentially projection operators. And a little more tricky: the tensor product. The tensor product is the physicists way of saying "and". The Bloch sphere is a clever way of notating a vector. You may need density matrices (aka density operators), that's a bit more involved, but basically it allows you to take a probability distribution over vectors.

I am definitely holding out for HTC Vive, just on principle. It became much easier a decision when I checked out their amazing demo. I'm pretty sure Oculus will fall far behind in the race after an initial and short lived period of appearing to win the VR race. Facebook isn't a VR company. No VR product will do well with something like Facebook trying to contort and leverage it to a completely different purpose.

In the '90s, we were all supposed to look forward to a "marketplace of pre-built objects," which could be bolted together to build applications. That didn't materialize, because (as I understood it) of the industry's failure to standardize compiler output so that object libraries written in C++ could be binarily compatible with other software (someone can elaborate on this if they have more details).

But there was one exception: VBXs. We did indeed write a lot of software for some very high-profile clients using drag-&-drop VBX controls, especially things like data grids. VBXs did largely deliver on the promises we all heard at the time.

The other big hype at the time was how the newly unified UNIX camps were going to wrest the desktop from Microsoft. We all know how that turned out (except the people who are still saying the same about Linux...)
The registry is just that: a registry. You can push a Guix-generated image to it if you wish and use with any container runtime. rkt supports the same API; the Docker relation is by name only.

In fact, being able to push static images directly to such a registry with Guix would be a great feature. Both for continuous integration (without needing Hydra) and for coupling with a cluster scheduler such as Kubernetes.

I've come back to this idea many times, and I think it has a lot of promise. It's all a question of the user experience and the feature set (or making it open and hackable). Cloud storage is a cheap commodity (at least for geeks, who know how to buy it "wholesale") and people will want ownership of their data.

Actually, I don't know what it's all a question of, but in 2016 we have these amazing services and tech stacks for shuttling bits and building UI, and yet I still use the Finder and the command-line and wait for Dropbox to sync my photos and videos. Something's gotta give.
You don't need mod, loops or recursion to solve it. For instance:

local remove = table.remove
local insert = table.insert
local print = print

local sequence = {
false , false , 'Fizz' , false , 'Buzz',
'Fizz' , false , false , 'Fizz' , 'Buzz' ,
false , 'Fizz' , false , false , 'FizzBuzz'
}

local function o(v)
local name = remove(sequence,1)
insert(sequence,name)
print(name or v)
return v + 1
end

local function t(v)
return o(o(o(o(o(o(o(o(o(o(v))))))))))
end

local function h(v)
t(t(t(t(t(t(t(t(t(t(v))))))))))
end

h(1)

It does rely upon state (the sequence table) but even that could probably be worked around if Lua had a slice syntax.

The problem that I see with the NFL is that they are essentially a monopoly on American Football.

As a fan, I don't really have any choices. I detest many things that the NFL does, can't believe some of the players are allowed to play the game after what they do outside of work, etc. yet I have no option if I want to watch football. Combine this with the fact that NFL football is culturally ingrained in many peoples lives and you end up with a behemoth that can't be stopped. Even if I wanted to boycott the NFL (more than I do as-is), the game will be on at literally every food/drink establishment I enter, people will be talking about it (and playing fantasy) at work, and on Thanksgiving, my family is going to watch football, that's just how it is.

I really wish there was some alternative. I would gladly support a league of slightly worse players if it wasn't as scummy as the NFL has proven itself to be.
