Happy to answer this. First of all: Makes using a specific programming language a software much less secure? Probably not. You can do mistakes in every programming language. But since a lot of software is written in PHP and there are also many unexperienced PHP developers this reflects kinda bad on the language.

There is often the perceiption that ownCloud would be insecure because we have so many advisories. But these are just there because we proactively look for security vulnerabilities and patch them. (see also https://statuscode.ch/2015/09/ownCloud-security-development-...)

Oh! And we also run a bug bounty program for ownCloud and Nextcloud will have one with probably even higher rewards soon! - HackerOne did even do a case study with us so it can't be too bad ;)

I think WinFS sort of was replaced with Cloud Storage and all of the Websites that allow you to store files in the Cloud.

How so?

The point of WinFS was to store an object graph representing your data in a DB. It was more or less antithetical to files.

(Disclaimer: I was on the WinFS team.)

IIRC among other pressures, Intel pushed Microsoft to consider one of their weaker GPUs Aero compatible. That allowed many PC OEMs to ship Vista PCs with very underpowered GPUs.

I already laid out the case for affirmative action which has nothing to do with any inherent racial ability whatsoever. Your reply:

> What if the "privilege" you think you see is actually a difference in average ability or preferences between groups of people that are in fact different from each other?

...is the textbook definition of racism (and sexism). Moreover it criticizes affirmative action precisely on the basis that there are inherent differences of ability among different groups, by race or gender, etc.

Initially I gave you the benefit of the doubt, assuming for the sake of argument and also in the interest of fair discussion that you probably didn't mean what you said, exactly. It is clear now I overestimated you.

Ironically, a skeptical view, like Penrose’s, would suggest that AI research can proceed full speed ahead, because there’s not such a danger!

I don't think runaway general AIs must be conscious in order to be a danger, but that might depend on specific definitions of consciousness.
You are the one being pedantic in this case.

Sorry a list of content sorted by time is a timeline. I don't know what else you call that.
Well to each its own, or however the saying goes. Because strcmp() returns a difference, as you said, i.e. a number comparing it a number "== 0" makes most sense to me.

> "not" means "no difference

I'd rather see less "not"s, it is easier to reason about. "not" means logical expressions to me, strcmp returns numbers, I would rather keep ! away.

> "if(!p)" means "there is no (object pointed to by) p".

Ok, now we have pointer in play. strcmp really does return numbers. Why bring pointers or logic operators, doesn't that confuse things? It does for me.

> ((strcmp(a, b) == 0) != false)

I have never seen that. And would never advocate for that, why are we doing it that way again?

What do you think is stopping them from being able to "hack it"? It seems like if they've been there a few months already, you've essentially given them a few months training. Wouldn't it make sense to just continue that training until they're able to do what you want? Or, is there something else that is stopping them?
FWIW: I think everything has its place, and everything has tradeoffs. I can definitely see a lot of usefulness for dynamic linking. The point you raise probably being the best current reason.

... but since I'm already playing devils advocate :)

Dynamic linking also lets you update libraries ... and cause security issues simultaneously across all applications. Increasing the number of possible attack vectors to successfully utilize that vulnerability.

Keyboards have been popping out automatic C-maj, A-min, F-maj, G-maj progressions for fourty years now. And with the typical toolset for electronic music, it will be easily capable to create something similar.

But the masterpieces of music demand something altogether different. Beethoven's break with consistency by switching keys in the adagio of the 5th piano concerto. Wagner introducing the Tristan chord, Berg using C-major only as a joke in Lulu, when the word money is mentioned.

Add to that ingenuity the personal drama behind music. Bach's crisis of faith leading to 'What God does is well done' to Mahler losing so many of his children that he composed the Kindertotenlieder ("Songs on the Death of Children") to the origins of a simple pop song such as 'Tears in heaven' that moves people tremendously... Music is shaped by our biological life cycle, not by that of a computer program.

This presumes a lot about entrepreneurial ventures at a vastly generalized level. While this may not be true of the high tech entrepreneurship most at focus on HN, there is a myriad of other entrepreneurial activity (maybe not using the 'startup' marker) where this is a very reasonable statement.
Call me naive, but maybe they believe that "Basic income" is the future, and good for society, and maybe the only way they think that they can convince the governments about it is by gathering hard data proving it can work?

I'm listening to Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin right now. What about those can't be analyzed and recreated ? There's not complex bowing technique or lyrics to speak of, but it's still relatable, and some I'm sure would say soulful. BoC for certain (by their tone) evoke "nostalgia". Does that qualify as soulful ? Does it seem out of reach of algorithms ?

I think "soul" will have to be better qualified unless its just going to be tautological.

From all the MSDN sites I follow, and other sources I would say politics.

During those days the Windows division was the one running the OS, C and C++ compilers, while .NET belonged to DevTools division.

So if .NET ever became a success implementing Longhorn, it would mean the Windows division would loose internal power, so many things failed, because instead of improving the languages or runtimes, people would rather see all implode.

So can see how this played by what happened following Longhorn's demise.

Many of the Win32 APIs that should have been .NET code, had been turned into COM APIs. Actually since Vista the majority of new APIs are all COM based (WinRT is also COM).

The Hilo C++ example of the new way of coding with COM for desktop applications was made available.

And the whole "going native" message started coming out of MSDN blogs and there was even a few Going Native conferences before Microsoft merged them CppCon.

The Visual C++ team was ramped up again, as they had moved most of the people out back in the "we are going .NET" days.

The WP 7 with its .NET/JIT model was shown the door.

The COM+ Runtime, which was the genesis of .NET before Microsoft decided to create the CLR instead, was brought back to life but with .NET metadata instead of COM type libraries.

.NET got the Singularity compiler retargeted for Windows Phone 8, with AOT compilation to native code taking place at the Windows store. The MDIL format is native code that just lacks linking, which is done at install time on the WP 8.x devices.

With the going native wind still kind of going strong and Midori ramping down, Project N eventually became what is nowadays known as .NET Native.

So if you look at UWP stack, either .NET or C++/CX, Longhorn is here just based on COM instead of CLR.

I don't know if I am wrong or right, but this is how I read everything that happened, having Windows developer experience since the Windows 3.0 days.
> The problem with making it toggleable is that a lot of people are going to flip that switch by accident

I think that's a smaller problem than not being able to flip the switch at all.

...And I think that's inevitable, whether or not there's an official way to do it.

Wine's a wonderful piece of software and a great work-around in many situations, but I wouldn't want to rely on it as my only option.
Ha, thanks for responding. And my apologies, I was frustrated and not in the best of moods, and I don't really stand behind what I said (completely). The truth is that I think a big 'problem' in my society is not just the business-side, but the consumer-side expectations/demands too.

I don't actually mind that sometimes things don't run as smoothly as they would for a product that has an entire team and/or dedicated support behind it (or appear do so to at least), and in fact I think it's part of the agreement, in a way. If I like the fact that you're a one-man shop, I should also accept some of the downsides.

Anyways, things are working now, thanks! I'm curious: what happened there? Was it just my account?

Also, turns out pinboard does index notes. Awesome!
They are spam if I have to deal with them at all. Even skipping over things I'm not interested in is spam to me. It got so bad on FB I installed FB Purity. I have about 15 filters in there. Two to filter out one of my friend's posts who posts a pictures of every single meal every single day. I don't want to unfriend him nor unfollow him but his meal posts are spam to me.

How would this be any different in Snapchat? I'd still have all these meal spam pics to skip over.
it may be known for that because those are societal problems that plague men. Sadly no big push to solve those for men.

Interesting report, I'd missed that. I do wonder if that data isn't rather dicey to draw on - I mean if you're poor or find yourself with few prospects in a well-off neighbourhood, you might end up in the wrong part of that graph. You might realize that you should go to college, but you can't afford to, etc. Still, it's hard to deny it paints a rather different picture than the location of recruitment centres gives.

The entire US military is huge, and even with the explosion in military contractors, most roles are surely non-combat roles. Even more so with the focus on special forces on the ground (I seem to recall the ratio is something like 10 to 1 currently). That doesn't mean non-combat roles can't be dangerous, of course. It would be interesting to see more details.

[ed: thinking more about this, even with the death of the US middle class, it's a little mind-boggling to see so many people eager to go to war in a country that's arguably at peace.]
Those are thought-provoking points. I'm trying to remember how I originally used facebook back in high school, and before the News Feed and Like eras we definitely used facebook much differently. Still, I think people use Snapchat to share more inconsequential parts of their lives than we ever did on facebook, but maybe that anecdotal experience isn't true, or maybe the difference is so minute that it doesn't even matter.

You've definitely changed my view of these social media platforms. I'm not sure that I absolutely agree with you, but I'm not sure where I disagree, either. Great points, all around.
In case anyone is wondering what the "textbook" definition of racism is:

the belief that "ALL" members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

The belief that races may be different in average ability with respect to certain characteristics or that members of certain races have their own preferences is not racist. Some people like to use the term racist as some sort of a perverted trump card to silence an opposing view rather than engaging in an actual debate. Good luck trying to have a civil conversation with someone like that.
someone said something like "the one question I have about BI, is, is there an ADDITIONAL safety net if a person burns through their cash and can't pay rent and eat? Beecause if yes, then it's just like the system we have now with welfare. And if not, then it's even crueler cuz some people won't eat." After reading this "provide money for the rest of their lives" from jacques mattheij I think I have an answer to that question. We give people BI in the form of litterally $100,000 a year job. You come on payroll, 100k, and you get to learn how to live on that. If your car breaks down, and there's a big payment you need to make, you gotta learn how rain in your spending. If you still can't eat after 100k goto a soup kitchen, someone will take pitty on you I'm sure, but, no there is no more safety net. The key to BI is you have to make the amount not just 30k a year or 50k. People really need to know what it's like to have all the expenses paid AND have stuff left over for fun. You just can't have fun on 50k cuz after rent and food and other basic stuff, there is zero left. Not true with 100k.
> I don't want to read too much into it but my suspicion is that this is part of an effort to lobby governments.

I assume it is part of a long-term effort to move governments towards a Basic Income. But a more useful campaign to make BI a reality is not to juice the early experiments to make them look more appealing. A much better strategy is to do good research and find which aspects of BI would really work and which aspects don't actually hold up.

The main problem around BI is there's a massive lack of data available for how people actually behave. All of the conversations around BI end up as circles of speculation around how people would react and others saying: "boy, it sure would be nice to have some real data around the topic".

So, to answer the first question: the desired outcome is a better understanding of how people in the real world react to a BI, and a better understanding of which BI mechanisms work well and which BI mechanisms fall apart under real-world conditions.

It's very possible they could have turned into something great and we were cutting losses too soon. That said, I have fairly high expectations and expect people to be motivated, tenacious and smart. We have such a broad spectrum of what we do (in a nutshell: infosec and data mining), it's difficult to simply train people for the myriad of scenarios they might encounter. This year I'll be stepping up my recruiting from the infosec community directly, up to now I've focused on polyglot devs with a background in security & web.
Not to take away from your point, but none of the above stop an AI from replicating that behavior. It's just a matter of the state-of-the-art catching up.
Android reads Ogg and Flac natively. It is being used by Spotify, and in most games internally, especially indie games. Ogg didn't win, but not far from it either.
100k is almost double the per-capita GDP of the United States. Doesn't matter what government structure you put in place -- there literally isn't enough stuff for everybody to get that much of it.
That's obviously far too broad of a statement. Lots of extremely successful businesses started slow. It depends on what kind of business you are, what you're selling, what your brand is about and so on.

After 16 years in business, Starbucks had a whopping 17 locations.

After five years in business, Domino's had three locations (12,500 today).
hehe, or would this cause MASSIVE inflation since every joe has a 100k, prices would just go way up. No way to solve this really.
This is a thing you can just infer.

If it takes 100ms CPU time to process 10 promises and 1 request involves creating 10 promises, the server can then only handle 100 requests per second at theoretical max.

IO time doesn't matter as much (for throughput) because IO is asynchronous so the server is free to process other requests while waiting for it. But CPU time is only being used for 1 thing at at time.

So to get e.g. 10k rps out of a node server, handling 100000 promises must take well under a second of CPU time. Looking at the benchmark results you can see how many implementations will bottleneck this.
My mind is blown! Thanks for completing what must have been an exhausting amount of research and analysis (and UX design). I wanted this to exist bad enough that I was going to try and create it - but amazing to know that it took 7 years to achieve!

While I'm a huge proponent of BI, I think it's hugely challenging to make the numbers work at 20k of income. I think 12k or 9,600 is a much more likely place for a BI program to start.

Where are you going to get the capital to make 40k, 50k, or 100k happen?

Edit: I originally wrote 12k or 9,600k are a likely place to start. To be clear, I do not think 9,600,000 USD is a reasonable place to start the BI salary.

Thanks! I think I've read something by Tim Keller in my evangelical days and I quite enjoyed it.

It's interesting that your experience with zen buddhism is exactly the primary 'fear' I have when it comes to the next step of joining a 'community'. So far my indirect experiences have not been positive, and after having wandered outside of (my particular) Christian community for close to a decade I really miss the 'reading books to children with cancer at Children's Hospital' component that was so integral to it all. That's not to say that non-Christians don't engage in this, but just that it feels different. More diffuse and conveniently opt-in. It's one of the reasons I've even considered 'joining the flock' again despite my intellectual issues with the whole thing.

Food for thought, thanks again.
