Humans Who See Time (2010)
Thank you salgernon, everything is fine now with me, but I will never forget what happened to me. I wrote my blog before Snowden, btw.
Regardless of legality, you probably can get your friends not to post pictures of you. But it's a hassle.
I would like to see this kind of post for slither.io
One of the more concerning matters on this is that the BBC, for some reason, are choosing not to report on this at all. Gone are the days when the BBC were the most trusted and reputable news source. http://www.bbc.com/news/scotland
It'd be interesting to know what the optimal order of progression would be.

It'd be simple to grab a curriculum and start from point A (as in, the method is simple - not the content), taking that as the order.

More thoughts and discussion on this would be extremely interesting.
I"m surprised as well.

Last time I needed this I knocked something up that could use the internals of Mission Control or Visual VM to turn their profile formats into flame graphs, but I doubt it would keep working across versions, and it really needed more work to be something anybody else could use sensibly.

It was however very easy to do (maybe half an hour's work) and produced very useful results. If you're using an invokeDynamic based language implementation however you will want to filter a lot of internal stack frames out of the graph, or you'll have trouble seeing past the LambdaForms to what's really going on.

Okay, I figured there must be some provision for movers but was unwilling to assume - so the old province would cover me if I had some incident in the new province (car accident, heart attack, mega food poisoning, whatever)...
I'm skeptical about that calculation. Went there with Safari on iOS, and it also showed 17 bits.
> right out of a novel

Right out of history, that is.
Quite a few car insurers as well (Aviva comes to mind). But yeah, I live in a rural area, so it's not uncommon for things like travel agents, independent hardware stores, etc, to have surcharges. I am not aware of any chain stores doing it, so it's probably unusual in more cosmopolitan areas.
Let's say you tear down the FVEY agencies. Enemy nations can then go rampant. If we collect, then it's obvious they must as well and they have less laws than we do limiting what we can do.

Having been on both sides, it is difficult to see the good they are doing, because they are shrouded in secrecy due to necessity.
Did you reverse this? Someone posted from this account 46 minutes ago.
Interesting

So maybe the genes for reduction of telomerase have evolved because by (older individuals) dying the survival of newer individuals (who are offspring of those) is facilitated due to less competition for resources?
I regularly have issues with Slack's desktop app using a tremendous amount of CPU and memory given the functionality it's offering.
This is true. Gasoline is sold with almost no profit. It's one example of a perfect competitive market converging on zero profit (at least for the retailer). Gasoline is a commodity, it's all the same and everwhere it's sold there are usually several competing retailers and prices are highly visible from the street.
On the swing now that compilers are smart enough to do most of the typing guarantees without your input.
Yes, I am glad about this blog too.

Lee Smolin's 2006 book 'The Trouble with Physics' first alerted me to this, since I am not a string theorist, and I like to read about the applied physics going on instead. I would like to read the theoretical math, but my mind can only deal with beginning grad-level math at most. Nonetheless, I like to burn some wood and try at times. I just don't want to waste it on what is seeming to be more and more of a rabbit hole.
> It's not a scam. It's a service.

It's both. The cash-back part is a scam. They take 3% out of your back pocket and hand you back 1% and you think you've gotten a good deal.

Modern technology enables secure money transfer to be provided at an order of magnitude less cost than the credit card companies charge. Competition is supposed to take care of egregious inefficiencies like this, but the banks have an effective monopoly, enough regulatory capture to keep out competition, the ability to fob all the risk of fraud onto the merchants (who pass it on -- tacitly) to the consumer, and hence no incentive to change, and so they don't. That is the scam.

> You may be too young

LOL, I'm 52.
I agree. Given the quarterly earnings report cycle publicly traded companies are poor fits for developing innovative work. It is not the investment vehicle most conducive to long term investing.
C is weakly typed.

You have to declare types in the languages you mention. You shouldn't have to. Type inference was figured out decades ago, it can be done by the compiler, and in some languages, it is.
You think the system is broken when they investigate a disease? You think because it's "mental" it's no medical condition?
>MS is nerve damage caused by the nerve cell's coating (Myelin) being mistaken for a foreign body by the immune system, and attacking it.

That's the headline theory for MS, but if you look at the actual research you'll see that it's not actually proven. Sensitivity and specificity are 46% and 63% for the McDonald criteria, which is very poor. Plaques in MS are associated with depression, not disease activity in general. Patients with depression (but no MS) show myelin damage and brain plaques as well. The myelin damage may just be a factor of depression.

Sometimes things in medicine aren't quite as settled and proven as you might think. MS is certainly a very good example of this. Unfortunately there is such emotional and intellectual attachment to the idea that MS is neurological and caused by myelin damage that it is next to impossible to change people's minds. (I'm talking about the minds of doctors and researchers, not patients). It's certainly not something I'm interested in doing. I just find it interesting.

Similar to how HN is censoring it?
And then every "good engineer" who adopts this means of defining success is in part responsible for the unresponsive UIs and spotty battery lives of devices running anything other than stock software.

"Why is my phone running so hot and always in need of charging halfway through the day?" Well, 5% CPU here, a battery-draining busy loop there... But the solutions solved the minimal target; so suck it up, end-user.
speaking as someone who has lived in both the Bay area and Toronto, I think Toronto has a chance.

The Bay area is a nice place to work in your 20s, but it's not a good place to settle down. With housing prices, homeless population, just a general grime over most things.

Toronto's the type of city you can move to when you thinking of settling down and starting a family. Very clean and friendly. Cheap enough to afford. That and not every Canadian wants to get a visa and live 4000km from everyone they've ever known.
Right on the money. In the US at least, there are a ton of laws and protections for consumers when it comes to disputing charges and credit card fraud in general. It is much harder to do this with debit.
Talk radio and our universities have been doing a much more effective job of this than the tech industry ever could. If anything, tech has created platforms that allow for some questioning of the status quo. Sanders was largely a social media driven phenomena. Same with Trump (who's views I don't agree with). He's at least taking a hammer to the broken and corrupt 2 party system with all their institutionalized backing and coordinated mainstream media messaging.
Think of it this way :

"I have solved all of math, physics, and everything else ! Look ! My theory is simply the assembly programming language. Any problem can be expressed in it and anything that we can predict we can predict using some assembly language".

You wouldn't consider this to actually predict anything, right ? Despite the statement being perfectly true. Change any prediction into the assembly program printing it out. Done/done. So the critique of string theory is that it is such a form of assembly language. It is a general principle, that can express nearly any algorithm.

So generally one considers that any theory, for it to be a theory, has to predict things unrelated to why it was originally designed, with no changes (or at the very least, very minimal changes). Quantum theory, for instance, was designed to solve a particular problem relating to electrons, but turned out to solve the ultraviolet catastrophe (and dozens of other problems).
I think a huge source of blame lies in organizations like the NSA/CIA that have proven to be deceptive / secretive / manipulative. There is a long history of secret experiements done by government that breeds distrust. Add mental health issues and the internet and you have a cauldron which can easily brew up this sort of thing.

I think a good type of treatment for this would be body cameras and mikes which a therapist could review with a patient and provide them with rational explanations.
I can find plenty of people that think today is Tuesday, but it's consensious among the informed that it's Sunday. Should I really present a counter argument to the date?
Show HN: Natural Language Processing API for Startup Companies
As I see it, it's mostly a standard library issue. Package level singletons make API versioning extremely difficult, but it's the most widely used approach in the standard library. And there are simply too many widespread ways to check error types:

(a) err == pkg.Err

(b) pkg.IsXYZError(err)

(c) switch err := err.(type)

If (c) is discouraged, as some have claimed on this thread, then how are we supposed to access type specific data?

You would be more believable if you had practiced what you preach and picked one of your favorite politicians to criticize, not one from the other side. Seem hypocritical.

Germany finally figured out that European domination didn't require war. Centuries of bloodshed taught them that that it's better to control via politics than the barrel.

You can mitigate by keeping two accounts. In your debit card account you keep a minimum balance and transfer funds in as needed to cover purchases. For automatic ACH payments (mortgage, etc.) have those come out of the other account that does not have a linked debit card.

So worst case you are without a small amount of money during any dispute/fraud resolution period, but your major regular ACH payments are not at risk.

The downside is having to monitor your balances closely and transfer funds more often (which can sometimes involve a fee but if you shop around you can find banks that don't change a fee for inter-account transfers).
I apologize for writing in a manner that would mislead someone into believing that I claimed that self modifying code was a need for anyone, let alone systems programmers. It's all Turning complete, even if that completeness comes complete with a tarpit.

To a first approximation, I'd expect that 1980's Unix programmers would generally be working in environments more accepting of restarting a batch process when there was an error in the code, i.e. significantly less likely to hold a clerical or secretarial "TCP report" job in a regular commercial office. Though that split has become less likely, it's still pretty uncommon for a computer user with little control of their work environment and deadlines to be using *nix rather than Windows.
OpenBSD rc.d(8) – BSDCan 2016 – Antoine Jacoutot [pdf]
That may be "right" given the current options, but that doesn't mean we can't have better options.

And that's exactly what this blog post is about.
Exactly. The "gang-stalking victim" group is just more obviously detached from reality. But all of us, including me, are in one or more of these now. We just don't know which ones.

I think this is built into the relatively libertarian structure of the internet. From the 1990s to mid-2000s, if you cared about information, politics, art or culture at all, the project was to get rid of filters and gatekeepers. To increasing the number of voices that can be heard and attract a large audience.

But when you encounter a group like the "gang-stalking victims" then you realize this has its problems. I first encountered such a group in the late 1990s - people who claimed to be victims of "psychotronic" devices implanted in their heads. I had a moment of "Oh, shit, this is what the future is going to be, isn't it?".

I don't need to show why the pluralistic internet has had good effects. But some problems are starting to overtake the benefits. We're all in one filter bubble or another now. And we're discovering how filterless media is dangerously vulnerable to demagoguery.

I'm not sure disintermediation is important now. Maybe we need re-intermediation. Some mechanism that, without silencing alternative voices, also forces a reasoned consensus on events. Much as Wikipedia does, but without the reliance on dying institutions such as ad-supported newspapers, and faster than waiting for an academic to write a book or scientific paper.
Personally, one of the reasons why I fell in love with Ruby 10+ years ago was because I realized I could use it instead of CMD or bash to write all my scripts from now on. Regardless of the platform. Obviously, this applies to Python as well if that's more your thing.

I've never gotten into PowerShell but I have absolute respect for the concept behind it, and how much more advanced it is than any shell you can find on UNIX. Think about it: instead of piping several commands through an unspecified string protocol that varies between each command (essentially what UNIX does), you are now piping real language objects in a uniform binary protocol defined by the shell itself.
I just criticized Clinton, Trump, Sanders, and Paxton, people across the political spectrum.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You've taken a criticism of our political system as a whole and turned it into targeting your person. How?

I am not sure the term elections accurately describes what goes on.

I don't want to make this political, but the candidate I voted for, and which I know many voted for, in the 2012 election, received 0 votes in my district.
> And taxis suck.

Taxis don't have to suck (they don't in my home city). So this should be a wake-up call to Austin's city government to look into why their voters are dissatisfied with the taxi firms, and consider what action they can take -- as regulators -- to fix the problems.

Do you have time to share the cost breakdown? Hard to imagine Uber being cheaper than driving your own car.
i have recently been excited about clojure, but your behavior and responses of other clojure people in this topic has honestly put me off of it. i understand that things are difficult and cljure people apparently work very hard, but the tone and attitude being used is in stark contrast to what i have seen from communities like those of F# and racket. whether you're right or not, it doesn't seem to be a great approach. for people like me, this is a first taste of clojure.

just a heads up.
There’s a strong belief in the sport that it’s the players throwing the stones, not the sweepers, who should have the strongest influence on individual shots.

WRT my comment below, not the poster you seemed to have replied to, I am not at all upset about investigating a disease, mental or physical, however, I believe the initial impetus was to lobby to look into it as a physical disease (worms, tiny bugs, whatever), and that was where my astonishment came from; 6 years of finding no chemical, or organism, or other physical disease-causing entity. Maybe I misread the link, but that's how I took it. I am sorry you took it the wrong way.

The original Deux Ex (2000) used that same zeitgeist to brilliant effect.

The technical paper from his AsiaBSDCon talk:

http://www.openbsd.org/papers/asiabsdcon2016-xen-paper.pdf
Well I wouldn't be surprised that they delete more stuff now. In that UCLA shooting a few days ago, the very top comment was a guy talking about how he was there, and how he has multple confirmations that there were 4 shooters, at least 1 of which was female, clothing descriptions of what each one was wearing, the different locations where each attacked all over campus, how there were at least 7 people shot and at least 5 dead.

It was all false. There was 1 single male shooter who shot one person then shot himself in 1 room.

Waterloo is far better then Toronto in terms of startups and tech talent. Toronto is riding our coat tails :)

Worth mentioning that Waterloo has the world's largest startup incubator/accelerator (physical space wise) via Velocity.
UberPool got me to Capital Factory for ~$4.50 1-way; $4.50 * 2 trips per day * 20 business days => ~$180/month. I could spend roughly that much on any one of parking, maintenance, depreciation, gas, or insurance.

edit: I use the time to clear out email, so it has a not-insignificant time benefit as well, but it's still a win on the raw numbers.
Not Reddit. Just the moderators of r/news. If the admins don't don't do anything about it though, then it's safe to assume they condone such practices.
To prove: Uber cannot be cheaper than driving your own vehicle.

Proof of negation of the TP using counterexample:

1. Monthly insurance cost for own vehicle = a few hundred dollars = $k.
Monthly insurance cost for Uber = $0.

2. Assume an extreme case where you don't travel at all in the entire month.
Total cost of transportation for owning a car = $k.
Total cost of transportation for Uber-ing everywhere = $0.

3. Assuming that the costs are proportional to the kms you have traveled you get this: http://imgur.com/A61dXx9

The inflection point where Uber is no longer cheaper than driving is (k / (mu - mc)), where mu and mc are the slopes for the lines for Uber and own car, and "k" is the insurance intercept.

i saw that too. it seems to be a rather childish response. i have recently become very excited about clojure as someone new to it since there are some greatn
resources for the language in the form of books (even one on frp), but this ordeal and the clojure people's response has turned me off of it.

it seems all peopme are really crying out for is clear and accurate communication. i mentioned this in another comment that this attitude is a stark contrast to the f# and racket communities.

BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) in OpenBSD [pdf]
See Dave's previous post on this: "Don’t just check errors, handle them gracefully" [0] Here he explores the various possible implementations and their problems then introduces a good solution. In short:

1. Assert error behavior not type or message, i.e. the error has a specific method. NOT `type HTTPError struct {Message string;Code int;}` but instead `type HTTPError interface {error;HTTPCode() int;}`. This decouples the location and specific implementation of the error type from the extra information you're adding to it.

(Corollary: Interfaces are Go's only real way to create custom generics. You'll be much happier if you can map your problem space onto interfaces.)

2. Number 1 doesn't help when you wrap errors, because the wrapping error hides any methods on the original. Dave's errors package helps with errors.Cause() that exposes the original error so you can apply #1 effectively.
