I've got a list of rules for FoxReplace on a github repo... Mostly centered around taking the piss out of various contentious political issues, and I recently added the whole set of XKCD substitutions. I'd link it but I'm on mobile right now.
Yeah but instead transform the modal into something more.. invisible..
Did you report the bug? (Perhaps in the "optional comments" field.)
And it works with Go, resolving some or all of the issues mentioned?
What are some cases where I would choose to write a server in Go instead of in Erlang?
The first two letters of the title are capitalized. That's almost certainly a typo.
By the same logic, if you are going to bitch about whatever response you get, why botter asking in the first place?

Alternatively, you may want to fetch a dictionary and look up the meaning of word "tradeoff".
> You do have subjective experience, don't you? I mean, you don't just process external stimuli, combine them with an internal state, and generate output signals, like a program would – you can actually "feel" things and see them with "your inner eye"?

Hold on. Did you just claim that people with aphantasia (ie: possibly an inability to feed causal models from someplace (probably the neocortex? IANANS, just work with some) back to the visual cortex and get the visual cortex's "portrayal" of the conditional simulation embodied in the model) have no subjective experience?

What if someone has no "inner eye", but does have "inner ears", an "inner tongue", "inner hands" and all the rest? Or do you group all possible "inner senses" used for imagining "what something is like" into "qualia" without separating them into distinct functionalities that are in bijection with the available physical senses?

Because you might have actually said something interesting here!
I certainly wasn't aware of Delve. But I also haven't Go'd in a while now. Looks promising.
I tried polymail(no imap support for months), Airmail (no link tracking or read tracking,oddly slows my mac,lot of small bugs, UI felt sluggish), apple mail(haha - next one), outlook (too skeumorphic on mac + too heavy + no swipe gestures)

Went back to N1 now - so i guess i am not much help. Sorry mate.
I understand your point, and I think I understand that of the original parent comment. I don't have much to add, except that believing intelligence is not heritable strikes me as a well thought-out and, in my opinion, largely constructive decision. Up until this very moment, I have always been interested in the reality of this idea; that is, what is true and what is false. Just now it has occurred to me that there is also a political component to this idea, as well as very real moral issue.

After reading through the comments and trying to suss out the logical conclusions of the idea "intelligence is heritable", I have decided to make the same decision.

From here on out, my position is that intelligence is not heritable. This is what I will tell my children and grandchildren. When they ask why, I will tell them that I simply believe it to be true. That it "feels right" to me and the alternative feels truly wrong.

In terms of the science and what is actually happening in the physical world, what measurements and testing actually prove: I am not interested and will not take part in the discussion as I find the idea that intelligence is heritable to be morally wrong. Maybe there is some giant leap humanity could make, and maybe millions of lives could be saved, but I don't care; I think the idea is abhorrent enough that I personally do not want to take the risk.

I'm not trying to preach, but point out that there's more to it than the science and what is objectively real.
Oh, good lord, that looks awful. I'd be fidgeting around like the guy in the black shirt all day.

The worst thing is it would just be exhausting. Having to constantly deal with people for eight hours straight, with no peace and quiet or private space to think would be maddening. I'd rather swing a chainsaw bucking up firewood on a hot day.

I just looked it up, and it integrates with Delve. So it looks promising.
>in much the same way that it constructs a schematic model of the body, the ‘body schema.’

Sight aside, who said the mind "constructs a schematic model of the body"?
1. Agate (like a jewel)

2. Corvette (probably a reference to the type of ship)

3. Lvov = present day Lviv, also known as Lemberg

4. Micro, like microcomputer

5. see other comment in this thread about BK

6. "Robotron" -pretty obvious. Note that robot comes from a porting to English of the Russian verb "to work"

7. "Spark" - Iskra was also used as a name for a line of film cameras

8. "Radio"

9. not sure - is it a girl's name?

10. "Apogee"
11 "Ocean"
Every app does this, and I hate it. What grinds my gears is the negative review dark pattern funnel (i.e., ask a user if they like the app, if not, keep them in the app and get feedback. If they do like the app, forward them on to the app store).

I was in the middle of using your app, don't bother me.

> and see them with "your inner eye"?

Interesting point, not everyone has an inner eye, see aphantasia.

I've heard the 1:1 mapping was only true at first, they tried to merge processes by domain IIRC.
> 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.

If there routinely isn't enough evidence to convict an accused rapist, that would imply that the system isn't biased against the accused.

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

Sorry, I should have caught that. It appears this term refers to a bunch of different laws pertaining to rape cases in different jurisdictions. The general idea, that the victim's sexual history is not admissible evidence, makes sense to me. Whether or not the victim had multiple sexual partners or was promiscuous is irrelevant to the facts of the case, and serves only to hurt the victim's reputation. In many of these cases all we have to go on is the testimony of the accuser and the accused, so it is easy for these cases to devolve into character assassination. Obviously this has to be done in such a way that it does not infringe on the rights of the accused to mount a defense. Is there some specific provision in these laws you disagree with, or the entire concept?
">50% of code base changes every month"

I wonder what unit is being counted here. I don't think it's possible to actually review and rethink 50% of what has been created before. That's just not sustainable.
Not worth.
Thank god that NoScript has an option to catch those redirects. Whenever I see them the page has rendered just fine without needing to anything special for the script-less.
> What about hunger and others?

The same as pain in principle, it's just a type of feeling. Physics can't not only explain them, it can't even define them, because they're subjective experiences.

> Your body and brain evolved to a current state which releases chemical substances to signal to other parts of body what's going on. Here cut arm is signaling with pain it's hurt and this will/may (after many layers of reduction) hamper your survival chances, thats why you have such signaling in place.

I'm sorry, but this is completely irrelevant. When I discuss this people always describe what happens in the human body when we feel pain and how it's evolutionary advantageous - I don't get what's the point of that.

What's happenning in the body when we feel pain is not the question. The problem is why do we feel pain when those physical processes happen. Or more specifically, why do we feel pain when the physical particles in the brain are in certain configurations.

Yeah, that doesn't belong there.

If I understand it right, the emails are trying to convince you to practice... as one needs to, when learning a language.
That's like the only acceptable reason to annoy/spam people, "COME ON JOHNNNN, WHEN YOU GONNA PRACTICE YOUR SPANISH LIKE YOU SAID YOU WERE GONNA"
It's funny you mention that, the cheekiness is one of the things that bugs me about Siri. Seems like every time I ask about the current temperature (one of my most common uses), Siri has to add some sort of snide comment about how hot or cold it is. It's cute the first hundred times, but then it gets old. I think it's to the point now where it actually makes me use it less because I just don't want to hear it.
So according to you rape culture is not prevalent in any other country except India? Guess what? The number one, numero uno, rape capital of the World is the United States.

I'll quote an article for you: http://www.more.com/news/india-rape-capital-world

"India only ranks third for the number of rapes reported each year. What country ranks first? The United States. In India, a country of over 1.2 billion people, 24,206 rapes were reported in 2011. The same year in the United States, a nation of 300 million, 83,425 rapes were reported. In the United States, every 6.2 minutes a woman is raped."

Whoops! So that means you shouldn't set foot in the US too!!! And if you are already staying in the US pack your bags and move to let's see... How about Saudi Arabia? The reported cases are way lesser than US or India so it should be safe right?
I'd like to follow up on your post because you raise a lot of good points. In particular, we have a problem in infosec whereby "security" is implicitly equated to "security with cryptographic guarantees".

I understand that "cryptographically secure" is the gold standard for infosec, but this misses a certain reality on the ground. Often times, your system doesn't need to be Fort Knox: it just needs to be a more difficult target than the other guy's system.

I think this is where obfuscation comes in. With regards to well-known vulnerabilities, clearly cryptographic-grade solutions are required, but the best defense against zero-day attacks is to make your system hard to probe for odd behaviors. Why waste time doing statistical analyses on a system in the hopes of extracting a faint signal when another system literally responds to a port scan?

I think the camouflage analogy in the article is a good one. Hardening your asset is necessary, but hiding it is even better.

In my former military days, we were always told that "concealment is better than cover". It's hard to pull a flanking maneuver on a target you can't locate, but trivial to do so against a target you simply can't hit. I wouldn't go as far as to claim that the same is true in infosec, but it stands to reason that there's a place for concealment.

Chrome doesn't have a model of one process per tab, fwiw.

It has a model of one process per tab until you have enough tabs, then tabs start sharing processes based on various heuristics.
This sounds like a big joke.

> Clarity is critical.

When you need to write high performance code this is a great maxim. I enjoy the simplicity of Go and the guarantees it provides. Being able to reason about code and not having to guess is a win for any development team.
I'm hardly "defend[ing] such people"; I chided that account more harshly than yours. The issue is simply the rules of the site.

When we ask people to follow the rules, people sometimes think that's for political reasons (i.e. we must be supporting their enemies), but isn't—it's simply that no one is allowed to call names, be uncivil, and so on, regardless of how wrong someone else is. Obviously if we're going to have such rules, we need to apply them evenly.

I've been playing World of Warcraft for about 6 years now. I know what's happening and who the major players are, but I'm not a lore geek by any means. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie this weekend.

My partner, on the other hand, made it up to level 8 on a new character - with the Recruit-A-Friend XP bonus - before giving up. They just couldn't get into the game and went back to playing LOTRO. They like fantasy films; they know there's orcs and dragons but couldn't tell Sargeras from Deathwing. I'm curious to see how our feelings on the movie differ.

> I'm more concerned with the fact that I can't go to any web page these days without getting one of these pop-ups.

People use these pop-ups (Landing Pages, Optinmonster, etc) because they are extremely effective at capturing emails. Your average programmer or techie on HN is horrified when prompted to sign up via a pop-up, but many regular users will just comply. The site has now converted a random passer-by, into someone who might continue to receive new content (and marketing material) in the future. Nothing comes even close to the ROI that you get from people subscribing to your mailing list. Note that I'm not talking about whether this is right or wrong, just that it's done for a very good reason. Would I put a pop-up form on a programming blog? Obviously no. Know your audience. But on a regular site? Not doing so is literally leaving money on the table. And that's why they are ubiquitous. When you don't see one it's often either an ethical choice (the site owner decided to maximize user experience, not profit) or lack of knowledge of how effective these pop-ups are.
> If one is too afraid to use First Amendment rights because of non-state actors that the state does not stop, do we really have First Amendment rights?

I don't know why this is so hard to understand; if non state actors are involved, then you aren't using your first amendment rights anyway. The first amendment applies to state actors only. Congress shall pass no law abridging your freedom of speech. Threats from Muslims stopping you from opening your mouth do not violate "Congress shall pass no law abridging your freedom of speech". Threats from Muslims about your speech are not first amendment issues, they are not abridging your first amendment rights in any way.

> What if the laws are being ignored and violence permitted by the state?

They aren't. No where is the state not enforcing laws against assault and violence.

I've used Delve from the go plugin in PyCharm and it seems to work pretty well.
I think this just shows the curse in full effect. What's needed is a movie based on a video game that's truly good even if you don't understand the source material.

A movie based on a book doesn't require you to read the book first. I see a lot of reviews saying there's tons of inside winks and nods. There should be a few for the serious fans but the point of a broad, big summer movie should be that everyone can get into it even if you've never heard of Warcraft.

> Someone noticed that we were puzzled by this a told us that this is due to Indian culture.

You may have been misled there because Indian culture isn't homogenous. Even from a Hindu thought perspective, as per Chapter 17, Sloka 20 of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says

दातव्यमिति यद्दानं दीयतेऽनुपकारिणे।
देशे काले च पात्रे च तद्दानं सात्त्विकं स्मृतम्।।17.20।।

While I'm not an expert, loosing translated, it means that one must do charity without expecting anything in return. Doing so, in the right manner and in the right place is the epitome of goodness.

I interpret that to be a pretty clear moral imperative to help someone in genuine need.
Curious: has confirmation shaming increased conversion? Can someone confirm or provide some insights?
Yes, I have a conception of software when it comes to the human mind. Even assuming the "software" is identical across humans (which seems unlikely), if one human has 10% or 20% better "hardware" due to genetics, wouldn't we expect differences in intelligence (accounting for differences in nurturing and other potential confounders)? Especially given how general human intelligence is -- it shouldn't arbitrarily cap out. It seems inconceivable to me that all humans would be born with exactly the same mental hardware, when that isn't true for any other attribute. I could go on...

I don't want to get into a lengthy debate -- plenty of other commenters have already addressed it all fairly sufficiently. I do appreciate your patience and well articulated comments, even if I disagree with them.

(Author here) To be fair, we are very rarely mobbing eight hours a day. Some of us come in earlier, some leave later, and you are always free to step out of the mob and go sit for yourself (even though we have been a bit bad actually doing that). I would say that we are effectively mobbing perhaps five hours each day, and the rest is spent thinking on your own, reading up on stuff, doing your own code experiments (bringing good results back into the mob) and doing all the other stuff you need to do in a day.
Subvocalization is your "internal me," the not-sound you make when you talk to yourself.

Apparently this internal voice actually results in some muscle movements, and it's thought that with the right sensors and software it would be possible to recognize it as speech. Nobody has quite gotten it to work yet, though.
I am looking into Pony to compare using it vs. Erlang/LFE/Elixir and even Rust.

Erlang grew out of a need to program telecom switches for Ericsson, but it seems Pony was designed with the various industries the author was involved in - fintech, milsims, video games, and others for 24 years. I like that it has real world roots, and has a proven type system.

I have heard good things about it, and it can run on Android, Raspberry Pi, and other small platforms too.

One of them even has a lightpen, nothing like a 'stylus for your smartphone'. A lightpen noticed the brightening of the video signal just as the x/y deflection made the electron beam hit the phosphor under the tip of the pen (which contained a photo-diode), so it was a pretty clever device. A stylus for a smartphone, by comparison is simply a piece of passive plastic. That's also why the lightpen is connected to the computer with an umbilical.

Scientific reasoning can only apply to something once we can ask counterfactual questions and make counterfactual guesses ("What happens in situation X? How about Y?") about the something. Unfortunately, the kinds of people who talk about a "Hard Problem of Consciousness" do not even respect causal reasoning, and at least half of them are outright mysterians, so almost nobody has bothered to come up with "What happens if...?" questions regarding qualia for scientists to even begin investigating.

As such, most scientifically-trained individuals will simply refuse to treat "qualia" as a real concept. And they've got a point! Something with little to no causal role (remember, epiphenomenalism of the kind necessary for "p-zombies" to be possible requires that consciousness has zero causal role whatsoever), something that can be "observed" in only one way and which is not even fully observable in that way (because no counterfactuals can be had)? Yes, to a well-trained mind that sounds like nonsense.
