Well HTTP is stateless but in that form it isn't much fun. So to get around this years ago web apps decided to store state from one request to the next and a whole new world opened up. The whole concept of having a user being logged in or not logged in comes from this. And the whole idea of when logged in as userA you see something different than userB logged in somewhere else.

You can think about it like a deli counter ticket number system. Each stateless HTTP request comes in and gets assigned a number. When that user makes their next request to the HTTP server, it sends along it's number. And this is all done behind the scenes with cookies. Your ticket number is a cookie, when you are given a cookie, u present that same cookie each time you come back. So the guy at the counter knows your ticket 45 and the other guy is ticket 98.

So once you have a system where the 1st http request without a cookie gets assigned a number and every request it makes in the future will contain that number, voila, HTTP is now stateful.

Okay, nitpick time. Your story about the game is surely wrong. Rollercoaster Tycoon was developed for Windows 95/98.

Perhaps you meant it's a later version of Windows, or the game's spiritual predecessor, Theme Park, which ran in DOS.
I wonder if this type of nonverbal communication is still prevalent in the large, noisy factories and sweatshops of the developing world! This would be an incredible research project.
This makes me wonder..

Can one extend the CLR (modulalary) and access via: extern and [MethodImplAttribute(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]?

Native UTF-8 is an obvious example but the scope could be far greater in scope such as native interop for a hardware device (IoT), funky filesystems or hypervisors?
philosophically similar to the medallion racket

This comparison strikes me as bizarre. The medallion racket is lobbying politicians to use the force of the law to prevent competitors from doing business. What discordorama describes is paying people money to install and sign into your app. This is... either a poorly designed incentive system that was then fixed, or a clever campaign that gets a lot of future drivers through the earliest hoops and puts them in a position where it's easy to incentivize them to start driving. (Clever to the extent that that works.)

I can't see why you think there's a similarity, other than that you think they're both underhanded, and that they're both done by companies providing taxi-like services.
It's also easy to point to Cuba, and ignore the other countries in the Caribbean.

By most measures (GDP/capita, GNI/capita, life expectancy at birth), Cuba is about the same or better than the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Jamaica.

The DR and Haiti, like Cuba, have a long history of being run by dictators. But has been a parliamentary democracy since independence from the UK in 1962.

FWIW, the World Bank says 41% of the DR, 58% of Haiti, and 20% of Jamaica are below the national poverty lines. It doesn't give a number for Cuba.

Puerto Rico has a GDP/capita about 5x higher than Cuba, built in part on the special tax status of PR as a US territory. But PR is also in an economic crisis that Cuba isn't facing. And 45% of the country is below the federal poverty line http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/04/06/the-puerto-rica... .

How do you measure the poverty of Cuba? How do you compare it to other poor but non-Communist Caribbean countries, and then conclude the difference is due to Communism?

Pills: A simple responsive CSS grid for humans
This type of thing makes a lot of sense! My friend and I developed a small set of hand signals in a day while working on a project in the desert with high winds that made radios all but useless. We worked together all through the day always at about a distance of 150ft carefully taking linked measurements and barely used words. We also grew other types of standards, like specific things left on/in the ground at the various points so we could communicate enough information to make the measurements accurate.

We didn't develop any jokes or casual language, but I imagine if we had been out there for a few more days it would have happened pretty quickly.
Springest | Amsterdam, ONSITE | Full-time | VISA

Springest is a rapidly growing international marketplace for learning. From online trainings to university courseware, Springest helps you find, compare, and book whatever you need to reach your personal and professional learning goals.

We are looking for a senior developer to join our product team. We use Holacracy which in short means we have no managers and you are in control of what you do. You help build and shape the product.

Stack: our main app is built on Rails with Postgresql, Elasticsearch, Redis and more. Next to this we have a lot of smaller services and internal tools where we use whatever tool is best for the job but we have Golang and Elixir/Phoenix in production.

Springeteers are a happy bunch, and learning is very important here. Next to internal workshops, we regularly host meetups in the Ruby and DevOps spaces. We also organise monthly in-company hackdays where we work on creative ideas and new technologies that are not on our regular roadmap. Some hackday projects have grown out to become part of our core business. If you come up with a great idea you're excited about, you can run with it and see how far it can go.

VISA: We can and have hired from outside the EU so we can help you get set up here in Amsterdam.

Every employee gets a 1000 Euro budget per year which you can use to go to conferences, buy books etc to develop yourself. We are an English speaking company but some of us have also used it to learn Dutch.

Interview process: When hiring we like to talk in person or on the phone to get to know you, after which we do a 1-2 day trial to get a feel for your working style. This also helps you get a better impression of our team, our working environment, and the Holacratic process.

Becausing having to plan the date and time I'm going in for a coaching session just ruins it for me.

C was hardly the only choice on MS-DOS.

All our stuff on demoscene related activities and game programming attempts were in Assembly and Turbo Pascal.

I bought it 7 years ago for about £400. I have the impression netbooks / chromebooks these days don't offer much of an improvement over this little machine for the price.
The most important speed up you can currently get is changing to an NVMe SSD running at 3 times the speed of a SATA SSD.

However, for many devices it difficult to wade through specs working out if you are actually getting NVMe (or whether you are just getting M2 SATA at the slower speed instead).

Elon Musk: SpaceX Will Launch People to Mars in 2024

That was an interesting read. I'm not sure it actually proves your point though, seeing as two thirds of the subjects did not yield.

Also, from the end of the article:

> Asch's 1951 report emphasised the predominance of independence over yielding saying "the facts that were being judged were, under the circumstances, the most decisive." However, a 1990 survey of US introductory psychology textbooks found that most ignored independence, instead reported a misleading summary of the results as reflecting complete power of the situation to produce conformity of behavior and belief.

> if the government changes

So here's the thing to understand about Swiss government: It never changes. Well at least its executive branch doesn't. Bear with me for a moment.

Swiss government (federal, cantonal and communal) differs from the American model in three ways:

* Power is not concentrated in a single person, but a council (e.g. 7 members on federal level). Decisions (as far as they can go before involving parliament) are made by secret votes inside the council and carried through as a single entity. Council members are supposed to never publicly talk about their individual opinions, only what the council represents as a whole. They're not supposed to be politicians anymore, they're acting much more like a board of directors.

* There's no such thing as a government / opposition split in Switzerland. In theory it could happen, but it never plays out this way. Instead, the four largest parties present their council candidates to the national assembly, who then vote for them one after the other. If a candidate doesn't please them the opposing parties form coalitions to vote in a counter candidate from the same party. That's the most spectacle we get. So even a socialist will vote for conservative council members - because the conservative party will do the same in return. It's a political truce that works like this since 67 years [1].

* Council members, while not immune to being 'deelected', in practise tend to stay in office for as long as they want. While there is an election cycle it doesn't really matter the way it plays out.

All of this together creates tremendous stability in the Swiss political system. The main instability comes from people's initiatives, which I tend to see as a good thing, since that at least reflects the viewpoint of the majority.

Really, sometimes I wonder how they came up with such a well oiled system in 1848. Maybe it helped being able to learn from the first gen. modern Republics and their mistakes (USA and France).

i thought this was going to be something about Trump but it's a very well done video ad promoting an SDK ios devs can include in their project. But rather than being dry or boring, it's produced hollywood style with BIG voices and BIG acting. i.e. imagine football players using xcode need a commerial like this that will actually get their attention. It's unusual because nerds that use xcode usually don't get marketed to like football players do. TLDR; the ad asumes their audience is cool where other demo videos kinda assume hey we're all nerds here so lets get to the point.

I don't think this works as well for adults. People with ADHD tend to calm down as they become adults (because of the whole "becoming an adult" thing), so the environment changes.

EDIT: calm down wrt physical movement, symptoms on the cognitive side are still very present of course. It's just that adults tend to be better equipped to cope with some of them.

How Facebook Uses Artificial Intelligence to Teach Computers to Read
> In fact if you look again at biological models the bulk of animal learning is supervised training in the strict technical sense. Just look at feral children studies as proof of this.

Feral children are incapable of learning a language as adults. But children don't require input (or feedback) from an existing language in order to "learn" a language; a community of children is capable of developing a full natural language without exposure to adult language. The problem the feral children encounter is not that no one teaches them to speak, it's that they're alone.

This is much as if you gave a neural network "supervised training" by letting it interact with several other untrained copies of itself, but no coded data. Does that meet your definition of "supervised training"?

(Obviously, a language created by an isolated group of children will be a new language rather than a known one. Children learning an existing language do need input, but there are some interesting quirks to the process -- they don't seem to need feedback, or use it if they get it, and in the natural course of things the input they get is 100% "correct" and 0% "incorrect". Try training a neural net to discriminate dogs from non-dogs when you can't code anything as "not a dog".)

I'm also a big fan of Cloak, multi-year customer & using Cloak right now while I post this from a cafe.

That's written under the heading "The Urbit future". I presume that it is meant to describe how things would pan out if Urbit is a success.

But how is this vision enforced... or even made likely? Why would powerful monopolies like Amazon submit to this, instead of supplying an app specifically and exclusively for shopping at Amazon?
Investigatory Powers Bill Update
This is such a harmful comment, and perpetuates lies about the state of understanding of ADHD.

ADHD is basically the most studied and best understood psychological condition out there. People who get treatment (medical treatment! Treatment without medication is a major uphill battle) have a 60+% response rate, with something like 30% of people having almost total recovery of symptoms.

This is much better than "real" conditions like bipolar disorders and "well most people think it's real" things like depression. If you think we can diagnose and treat bipolar, then acknowledging ADHD as a real thing that does affect a lot of people is the next logical step.

A bit of a rant but I think a lot society is still in denial about ADHD mainly because the symptoms look a lot like behaviour we expect from children.

And of course that denial makes ADHD sufferers feel like shit and shuts down most paths for recourse...
