I can see that this sort of sense of profound change and understanding can affect someone's state of mind, indeed I was convinced it had helped me learn a little about myself in my 20s when I experimented with the stuff.

But the perceived creativity and perceived sense of profound discovery often is exactly that AFAICT, where it is applied outwards rather than inwards.

Most discussions of LSD, even here, eventually attract someone who just knows that it is the key to changing the world, that if everyone just took it (I'm not sure if once or continuously) then somehow the scales would drop from our eyes and the people would rise as one to fix the whole world.

When quizzed, nobody I've encountered so far has been able to explain how they think the world will change, or what it is we're not seeing right now. So I tend to think that a lot of the insight from psychedlics is false, and that they provoke a false or inflated sense of the profound.

Conviction rates don't mean much by themselves because anyone can cause conviction rates to rise or fall by adjusting how many complaints are accepted and turned into cases at the police reception desk. The fact that conviction rates are lower than for other crimes just means that people are more likely to report unprosecutable cases: either because the accusations are false, or because there is no evidence.

There are 'rape shield laws' which is what I was referring to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_shield_law

> Being forced to re-experience a traumatic event by a party determined to discredit you is pretty horrible.

So what? Being accused of rape is also pretty horrible and being jailed for it is VERY horrible. People who aren't willing to go in front of a judge and jury for these cases are one source of dropouts and the low conviction rate, but they must have known that'd be a part of the process when they made a complaint.

Don't worry, it's not. It's a VM with bent towards distributed computing. That's all.

I mean maybe one day it'll have an ecosystem of libraries and applications that makes that interesting but it's not today and it's not inherent in the technology.

My work-flow involves containerized development environments that sit on a remote server. I spin up a new container for each project and login over SSH to work on the projects using tmux/vim.

With this setup I can work on all sorts of resource intensive projects on a lightweight laptop because everything is built and run remotely.

Now I could SSHFS every project and open it up with VS code, but unless I'm sending commands to the server some other way, it's going to be built locally, which is very inconvenient, especially when working with multiple projects.

If VScode can one day operate in a terminal over an SSH connection it might replace vim, but that's not going to happen.

Vim has a TUI, GUI, tabs, and is still much more responsive than VScode, even over an ssh connection.

Lastly, MS has been really bad for developers and end users. Their latest OS comes with spyware (telemetry) and adware (candycrush), so I tend to stay away from MS products in general because I don't think Microsoft has done anything to deserve my support.

I can see why VScode is preferred on Windows though, I've never seen a decent terminal emulator with good font rendering on Windows so vim must be a pain to look at.

Ah no, I was arguing that "this would destroy our licensing/localization business" arguments are overblown. It would get rid of discrimination and barriers to the single market and also generate some extra cross-border income, but it would not make established business models unworkable overnight.
I'm trying Firefox about once a year because I want to like it for being independent and privacy minded. But every time I find myself going back to other browsers for seemingly minor reasons.

The most important one is that firefox opens new windows a few hundered milliseconds too slowly (on Mac OS X). Just a little bit too slowly for me to just hit Cmd+N and blindly start typing a url. I have to stop and pay attention to when the window is ready, hundereds of times a day.

Another annoyance, a much less important one, is that Firefox wastes a lot of screen real estate at the top.
What motherboard can you buy for under 50 with 6 PCIeX16 (power) slots?
The cheap "bitcoin" motherboard that go for about 50-75$(old intel express chipset) won't work in this case, not sure about the 1070 but the 980 (non-ti) and the Titan X do not want to work with any PCIe slot that isn't a true PCIeX16 power slot.
The PCIe x1-4 to x6 riser converter boards do not work, even the "good" ones with a SATA power connector and an actual power PCB for some reason, my guess is that there is some actual sensing going on in the card itself.

Unless you buy something like this http://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Motherboard-H81-PRO-BTC/dp/B00H... which which is i think the only non-server motherboard which is commonly available you aren't getting more than 4-4 PCIe slots, and even to get 4 (PCIe16) you need to spend about 200$ on a motherboard these days and the H81 chipset mobo's don't want to work with modern nVIDIA cards (or the other way around) with all but the main PCIe16 slot.

Pretty much to get more than 2 PCIx16 slots these days you have to buy a good gaming Z170/Z97/X99 motherboard, that ain't cheap, nor are the CPU's that go into them.
While the AMD CPU's might be a bit cheaper again the motherboards won't be.

P.S. my personal password cracking setup at home is 4 5970's you could get them for about 100$ even a couple of years ago (today they are much cheaper 2 for 130 or b/o: http://goo.gl/yplISa) and for most hashes they go 40-50% of the perofmrnace of a Titan X (I do have 2 Titan X's in my personal gaming rig which i can use in a pinch).
I got them setup on an ASROCK motherboard (h61 iirc) that was designed for bitcoin mining so it comes with 8 PCIE slots and powered converter ribbons connect the cards do it all of this sits in a al cheapo rackmount case of a 20 year old compaq server.

But if you are looking for more scalable compute instance AWS CUDA instances are probably a better solution and I've been using them more and more lately.
The licensing/legality of Tetris clones has always amused me.

Could someone have made a NES Tetris clone and called it 'Block Puzzle', or would Nintendo have never approved it? Obviously the Atari version was called Tetris so they got shutdown (plus Tengen was making unlicensed NES cartridges...)

There aren't even many tetris clones on the iPhone. You've got the 'official' version (thanks, EA) but lawyers have jumped on so many small-time developers.

connectWords : String -> String -> String

This is one of the most maddening things for me about Haskell-like languages. I can never remember if -> is left or right associative. I mean there is only one way that makes sense:

# String -> (String -> String)

But it could also be

# (String -> String) -> String

Of course you get used to it after a while, but a nagging feeling remains. I would really prefer a bit of syntactic sugar.
Yeah, JavaFX is excellent. I wrote a cross-platform (win/mac/linux) app with it and it was a very straightforward and pleasant experience. The javapackager tool helped a lot. In Java 9 it is getting a lot of new abilities like being able to strip components (so then its size advantage over Electron will become even larger unless they duplicate the feature), do ahead of time optimisations and so on.

> There really IS no ideal solution for that space, because so few people still care about it these days.

I would say lots of USERS care about it. It's DEVELOPERS that have decided writing desktop apps is terminally uncool and give their users crappy web apps that have horrible UI latency, don't work offline, aren't accessible, don't integrate with the OS, etc.

Eventually developers will figure out that making a good desktop app can still make you good money (see: Minecraft) and I suspect there will be a bit of a renaissance, especially if someone puts together an easy to use modern update framework. I made one called UpdateFX but I don't maintain it anymore.

I'm sorry but this... madness. Referring to return codes, which are completely arbitrary in nature, as being intuitive and thus, 0 as true being intuitive, feels like a complete logic breakdown.

Yes, if this language were to exist in a complete vacuum, where no other languages are existing, and nobody learnt anything else before, then sure, 0 as true and 1 as false would be fine I guess. Still not more or less intuitive, but one could agree on using it. But in a world where every other programming language uses 0 as false (or some equivalent) and where the chance that someone would use "nock" as his one and only programming language is very much 0%, this feels like utter bullshit.

Also, the versioning scheme based on Kelvin temperature? Seriously?

And then look at the Hoon syntax. No keywords, just ASCII symbols. Just look at it.

There was a Tumblr blogger su3su2u1, a physicist, who was all over these guys:

> I reached out to an investor in impossible startup I had talked about previously. Had a long phone call today, in which he explained to me he didn’t invest because he thought they’d ever be a viable business. He invested because he thought between their pitch/charisma and the names of the investors backing them they’d be able to get several rounds of funding, and he’d be able to cash out.

That is: for VCs in the present climate, "find a greater fool" counts as a business plan.

It's about now that front-end web devs who are good with JavaScript should be stocking up on tinned food.

“translated into Scottish”?

Perhaps you mean Scottish English, or maybe Scots, but Scottish?
For what it's worth, my experience thus far has been quite different:

- I agree that operations research has a brand problem, but the problem is that nobody recognizes the name. Every week I have this conversation: "What do you do?" "I'm a PhD student in operations research at MIT." [blank look] "Have you heard of OR? I wouldn't blame you; most people haven't." "No, what is it?" "It's something of a mix between computer science, applied math, and statistics, and in particular we do a lot of optimization work." "Wow, that's really useful!"

So no, we don't have the brand of computer science, but I get a uniformly positive reception when I describe what I do. From technical people there's a fair amount of "Oh! I have this optimization problem in my work, do you think..."

- People graduating from MIT operations research seem to have 100% success in finding good jobs, both in academia and industry. I think we'll be surprised to learn that finding good jobs is tough.

Yes, we all benefit tremendously from the name MIT, no doubt. Nonetheless, if everyone graduating from my program has an excellent offer lined up by the time they cross the stage...that doesn't suggest a congested market with few opportunities.

- Yes, integer programming is Hard in the technical sense. However, with overwhelmingly high probability, the problem you actually care about is not hard at all. Write down the first formulation that comes to mind, throw it at Gurobi or CPLEX, go for a coffee, and when you come back you'll have an answer with tiny optimality gap, perhaps certifiably optimal.

Integer programming in particular is one of the great academic success stories; the combined speedup of hardware and algorithms in the last ~30 years has made IP solvers ~10e9 faster.

You write as someone who has personal experience and knows what they're talking about, so perhaps I should update my priors. But suffice to say I think OR and its practitioners are in a fantastic spot right now.

At least Chrome is relatively fast. The only reason I use Firefox is because of a couple of plugins, but otherwise I would dump Firefox and switch to something else (and the plugins barely affect the speed). I really don't know what has been happening to Firefox in the past few months/couple of years, but that's not the browser I remember.
I don't know about him, but I do. And this latency is indeed annoying. I'm still in FF out of sheer believe in FOSS in general and Mozilla in particular, but right now every single action I tried is just faster on chrome.
> But aside from that, it offers the opportunity to fix a broken part of the market – content providers want to restrict territory, but I'll be distributors don't!

Are you sure about that? Netflix built its business around contracts with content creators. I doubt Netflix would support this new law. This law would not require content creators to make content available on Netflix.

My guess is, if such a law were passed, then Netflix would either (a) pull out of the EU or (b) restrict available content even further. And that's why you may not see support for such a bill. Legislators will hear that message from both Netflix and Hollywood. Your governments may either quietly ignore this campaign, or if it gets big enough, make some attempt to share the reasoning with the public. If you did manage to elect someone who could pass this law, I'll bet you find it hurts the available content more than it helps.

There's still plenty of room in the world for a Netflix competitor, particularly, locally based ones. Ironically, this law would hurt such startups more than it would help them. The fact is, content providers have good reason to limit consumption to certain mediums and areas.

Making content costs money, just like anything else. Content creators have a right to choose where and how to do business, just like any other company. Content creators lose money in countries with insufficient copyright controls. My guess is every country in the EU does not have the same copyright controls, and this is a major sticking point for content creators. And, in many cases, the content may not be findable via torrents etc. It does not hurt content creators to withhold certain content.

People made up money. Nobody really owns information or physical objects. Some people think all information should be free because it happens to be easier to acquire information than objects. Yet these same people will freely admit that authors and programmers deserve to be paid. It takes as much energy as physical labor. You need food, shelter and security to do it. One could argue that money is the problem, though I'd point out that moneyless societies have their own downsides, and historically, people don't want to be forced into them. Poor people are not chomping at the bit to move into communist societies, nor is any such society welcoming the world's poor with open arms. The few times that has happened successfully, it's been a call to arms, and the success is brief. Deng Xiaoping and Gorbachev's reforms made clear what works, which, love it or hate it, is some form of capitalism. It allows us to compete without killing each other.

Compared to farming, this system uses a lot less water (which is basically free right now) and a lot more electricity (which is more expensive).

Process isolation for tabs could reduce the impact of memory leaks though, right?
> The goal must be [...] multiple content processes for each tab

According to the wiki page you linked, it doesn't seem to be the goal for them:

"The (practically) unlimited process count is on some platforms not a realistic goal, and having a separate process for each open site instances or even sites does not seem like a reachable goal (for now at least). Which means using content processes as a security membrane cannot be a goal either."

If this is true, I don't see any advantages of e10s introduction.
On a related note, startups, especially early-stage ones, often inflate job titles.

Interesting. I always believed that an important part of the voice was created in the mouth (tongue, soft palate, lips), and the larynx was only responsible for producing the base frequency. But apparently, attaching a microphone to the larynx works as a means to recognizibly capture the voice. I might have to adjust my understanding of the voice :)
Using statistics for this type of question always bugs me, but there is no other way to see the impact. Using stats has an effect of reducing the seriousness of an failure.

Unfortunately negotiations of rights are on a country by country basis. Copyright is not unified nor properly harmonized across the EU (...yet?). To show copyrighted content to all of Europe you need licenses for 28 territories.

This might change, or at least gain some new exceptions ("roaming" for your Netflix account will come for sure; the other measures this campaign demands are up in the air at this point). These improvements of course would not apply if the UK leaves.
