I have been using `wscat`[1] when I was developing a WebSocket app last year. It was a nifty little tool although it would require the entire nodejs / npm stack to be able to run it.
`wsta` is probably more portable as all we need is just a native binary to run.

It's nice to be regarded as reasonable.

My question, one to which I have not been able to find an answer, is:

Is this questionable premise (I'm not quite willing to call it crazy,
but it is non-obvious) the entire basis for all of monetary policy?

Approachable texts about why and how the money supply should be controlled seem hard to find. In conversation, this is the only reason I've ever been given for us to need the Fed to ensure that the money supply grows with the economy.

Maybe someone who knows more about logic programming can correct me, but it seems that these are just imperative solutions to problems designed to be solved in a logical programming context.

For example, take a look at problem 2.07 from the original 99-problems for [Prolog][1] and compare it to the [Java][2] solution in the linked repo. In Prolog, you're defining relations, so with GCD defined, you can compute the GCD (g) given two integers a and b, but you can also compute possible values for b, given a and g, for example. The Java solution doesn't allow for anything like that.

So, given the README information, I expected to see the implementations in different language platforms utilize some prolog-esque logic programming library (like core.logic for Clojure), but that isn't the case.

my original thoughts were wrong. it makes more sense to use a cost/benefit function (ala economics) rather than a logical argument
A lot of people are using immigration issues to argue for brexit. Personally I hate this. I'm generally for immigration.

There is a positive vision for brexit, which about being open to the world, embracing free trade, free movement of labour, and reducing regulation.

The current version immigration system is broken. Any one with little skills can come to the UK from Europe. A doctor from outside Europe will have real difficultly. Personally I want both people.

I think you're "seeing what you want to" in his comments. One of the reasons I appreciate clojure and the community so much is that it's one of the few that doesn't actually troll things.

If anything, the community tends to give really well thought out reasoning around why they make the decisions they are making.

When making an argument, sometimes it's important to explain why something is different, or why you've made the choice you made. Just because you explain why your idea is different doesn't make it trolling.

Clipping is both, really. Most distortion is also compression.
> I know there are Magic cards with effects which trigger whenever a player draws a card

The cards he's talking about trigger when they're drawn, not when another card is drawn while they're in play.

For example, Flame Leviathan[1] which deals 2 damage to all minions when drawn. Or Iron Juggernaut [2], which shuffles a 'mine' into the opponents deck, dealing 10 damage when drawn (personally I think this one's ok, as at least you can plan to mitigate it most of the time)

The Megaprocessor ...
Aside from being one of the singers involved, I make archival recordings of my community chorus's performances. In my case, I use a rather simple setup: a pair of small-diaphragm condenser mics (usually but not always set up in the ORTF configuration), a preamp, and a digital recorder. Audacity has all of the capabilities I need for the editing/mastering phase.

One thing I've noticed is that the dynamic range of a live choral performance tends to exceed the useful range of typical consumer audio equipment[1], and it's necessary for me to deal with audience applause (usually by temporary dropping its level), and I also need to carefully apply some limiting on peaks - and sometimes a little bit of compression can work wonders.

If I resort to compression, I typically use parallel ("New York") compression, in which the uncompressed audio gets mixed with the compressed audio. It can be a bit fiddly, since it's necessary to apply the right settings to the compressed track, and to find the right proportion of compressed to uncompressed audio in the final mix.

The finished result tends to sound a bit more "up close" than the raw recording, which can be useful when I'm forced to record from the back of the room.

Even so, I find that I have to turn the volume up quite a bit higher than I would for typical pop music (especially since the Loudness War).

[1]What I mean above is, "being able to listen to the recording at a reasonable level without the peaks distorting or blowing out your speakers."

By the way, it's now "Lisp", not "LISP".

(a), (b), (d), and (e) are where he's argued that support for "breakfast is good" is methodologically weak, but then he goes and brings out (c) as an argument for his conclusion, while also being methodologically weak at the same time.

You've also neglected to mention (f), where the author discusses studies that show that breakfast is beneficial to children and then handwaves both of them away:

> What about the argument that children who eat breakfast behave and perform better in school? Systematic reviews find that this is often the case.

and

> It has been found that children who skip breakfast are more likely to be overweight than children who eat two breakfasts.

Nitpick: (scoped) const variables in C can be initialized from run-time values, not assigned.

RAAI: Really, assignment ain't initialization.

A file scope const object in C can have a value which is not known at the point of declaration.

extern const int var;

This one is not known until either a definition is supplied later in the same translation unit, or else not until linkage with another translation unit which supplies a definition.

static const int var;

In this case, the value is not determined until either a definition is seen which provides an initializer, or else the the end of the translation unit is reached (whereupon the tentative definition becomes actual, with a value of zero).

In this situation, though, the static value can be propagated as a true literal constant into code which precedes the point where the value is known. Just not in a "one-pass compiler".

This is also the case when a block-scoped const is initialized with a literal constant:

{ const int x = 5; /* almost "true" constant */ ... }

In C, x isn't considered a constant expression, but de facto it is, which is good enough for optimizing.

>The problem is that a phone is much more limited, both in hardware and in what it is allowed to do.

The full version of MS Office is capable of running quite well on those inexpensive Atom tablets with only 2 GB of RAM. That's about as much hardware capability as the average smartphone has already and peripherals can be handled by a docking station.

Granted, apps will need to show different UIs and adjust power consumption depending on whether they're in mobile or desktop mode but convergence is really just about here.

The point is not about "hand-coding" at all.

It's about reading the code, and having a good mental model of what is happening. This is the point Rich Hickey tried to drive home with his talk "Simple Made Easy".

Legend has it that most of the damage to Death Magnetic was done at the mix stage, not the mastering stage. Master buss compression is absolutely standard practice during mixing. It lends cohesion. Unless you listen to a lot of completely amateur recording, almost all the recorded music you've heard used master buss compression.

On the other hand, it's quite easy for a mix engineer to strap a hard limiter across the buss mix. That's what Metallica did. If the record reaches the mastering engineer with only a couple db of headroom, their hands are tied.

So it sounds like a more apt name for the article would be "There is no conclusive evidence for or against whether breakfast is magical".
I've come to the same conclusion, almost, except the way I see it is that everybody who takes CS takes compiler construction, other people read the literature about it, and it is still a technology that largely sits in the box.

Lately there has been a lot of work towards languages that improve the state of systems programming (Rust) but the deeper problems of better languages for applications programming are largely ignored.

My belief is that the content of those courses and most of the literature on compiler construction, as well as the tooling most generally available, is not at all suited towards getting people to apply it in new ways.

Yes, especially since there's no reason you can't have contracts in a language with a type system.
StartSSL [1] and COMODO [2] still offer them (of course, there's still the CA compromise issue you mentioned). Keep in mind, however, that a hierarchical, centralized trust model can still be useful (e.g. in medium-to-large organizations, where having an internal CA and delegating identity verification to a few knowledgeable employees is more practical than having everyone build a web of trust).

The thing about salespeople is that you can objectively determine their value over any given time period. That's how they should be paid: a very small base salary that wouldn't cover their mortgage, coupled with a clear and unambiguous bonus structure that gives them a reasonable amount of money when they hit the targets that make the company profitable.

Salespeople "actually do things". The problems come when you make a stupid compensation plan or don't fire the ones who consistently underperform.
I don't think he's trolling, he's proposing spec due to issues he personally sees in type systems whilst acknowledging that clojure without types or spec or whatever is definitely missing "something" ... it's just that something doesn't have to be types.
Given his comments here he seems well aware that not everyone shares his views on type systems and that is fine:

You might look at Believing The Axioms (http://cs.umd.edu/~gasarch/BLOGPAPERS/belaxioms1.pdf, but it's two parts) which studies set theorists who are investigating new axioms for set theory, especially large cardinal axioms, iirc. Honestly, that work is a ways beyond what I can understand, but it's clear that it's an active area of research.

You might also read about Hugh Woodin has a very developed program arguing for axioms which would imply the negation of the Continuum Hypothesis.

(This doesn't necessarily apply to this specific question, but in general, research into axiomatic foundations of math is ongoing).

It was part of the Conservative's election manifesto to enable a referendum of EU membership; enough people voted Conservative for them to form a government therefore they are enacting their manifesto. It wasn't a knee jerk reaction by Cameron over the last year; it's been something brewing for many many years.

If Cameron resigns because of a leave vote then it is highly unlikely there will be a general election as a result. Conservative party members will vote for the next PM at party conference, not the general public. So Boris won't need _your_ vote to become PM, haircut or not.

I think we should judge a technique in regard to the problems it solves and the ones it creates, not in regard to our understanding of the said technique.

No, it is not the same as using "inline styles" (just think about it). Yes, it reduces CSS scope and bloat in styles sheets. Yes, it breaks the Separation of Concern principle. No, it does not create bloat in the markup. Yes, it forces you to style via markup rather than via a style sheet, etc.

Like with any other technique, choosing to use "Atomic CSS" in a project should be considered in relation to the problems authors have to solve. CSS is a complex matter, there is no one size-fit-all solution and there are not that many solutions either so I think we should think twice before disregarding a tool, any tool.

PS: Yes, I know universal.css is a joke but it is mocking a real/serious approach to big CSS problems.

6 financial mistakes you need to avoid in your 20s
I see the "loudness wars" are still raging. Way back when I was a recording engineer (early 2000's) I remember reading about it for the first time. I had this "a ha" movement. Until then, I couldn't put my finger on why I got fatigued listening to certain albums: even one's where I liked the content of the songs.

Now if a record is over-compressed I don't even bother(sorry Foo Fighters, get your shit together). Also, stay away from "remastered" version of old albums. That really means they've over compressed it and killed all of the dynamic range of an album you previously loved.

The primary purpose of the graph is to show relative timings, so I think it's important to make that clear. A logarithmic Y-Axis makes that really hard to judge.

If you wanted to show absolute timings, then I would say a separate graph with time / N on they Y-axis would be the right way to do it -- you could see how the time per operation changed as you increased N.

interestingly, copy-pasting the "grass font" text yields the real content, e.g.:

The minister highlighted a few key issues the city state is facing: “traffic congestion is an issue, green energy is an issue, security of transactions are an issue.” Balakrishnan spoke specifically about becoming a hub for fintech, autonomous vehicles and medical technology (medtech), with the city state’s ageing population a priority issue.
This is a really interesting response, thank you (and thanks for answering so many questions in this thread).

That result makes a lot of sense - Google has been working with the huge corpus of English-European translations (e.g. UN reports) and getting impressive results largely because there's so much data available with such direct equivalences.

Just based on personal experimentation, they're much less capable with longer "translation distances" like phonogram<-->logogram and Indo-European<-->Sino-Tibetan. I didn't know IBM was leading on those long-distance translations, that's cool to hear.

For a bedroom producer/DJ, LANDR is a godsend. When you have 10 2-minute drafts, each of which was complete in an hour or two, and want to take them for a test-drive in your next gig, before LANDR you had to spend an additional 20-30 minutes per each of them, to get them into a reasonably compressed and loud shape, so you won't have to desperately ride levels and eq from track to track in front of the crowd. And $15 per month for unlimited demos and drafts is a very sweet price point compared to even the cheapest mastering engineers.
