The middle class has never been involved in creative IP in huge numbers. What they were involved in is a lot of officework which has been automated away, and union-protected jobs that have now disappeared. Stuff like designing presentations now done in Powerpoint, typing up reports now autogenerated, doing typographical work now completely removed, manning and stocking a shop you can now bypass with Amazon, distributing products to such shops which are now gone, raising ads for now-dead newspapers, managing factory processes that are now in China, working for local authorities now so cash-strapped they're literally bankrupt...

The IP industry actually boomed in the late '90s, as the Internet was booming. We now produce more IP content than ever before, selling to the entire planet. I don't see any relationship whatsoever between IP and middle-class crisis, tbh. Disintermediation simply kills people in the middle. Some of those middlemen might have been IP-related, but they were few.
Do you think it would be reasonable for a hobbyist to build their own molten salt storage system nick?
What's the use case? Make sure you don't introduce them as a desktop user? As a app developer? (what does the app do?) As a sysadmin with third party unknown apps?

You can't really "disable utf-8" on Linux. You can change how things are encoded when displaying or saving. (via locale/lang variables) But if the app wants to create a file named "0xE2 0x98 0x83" (binary version of course), it's still free to do that.
From the .plan it appears that the qw client didn't predict entities aside from the player. I don't understand the fundamental difference between netquake and quakeworld so I can't explain why, but quakeworld always felt somewhat "unreal" when playing with a high ping, whereas netquake didn't (it just felt slow).

I would imagine this isn't very relevant these days, as nobody plays with a 300ms ping (+ packet loss) any more.
What provider do you use that allows for catch-all? I really like GMail but the lack of support is really annoying, and a lot of sites & dump leaks are beginning to ignore the "+word" notation for email addresses.
> It's important to be insufferably pedantic about this

That is perhaps the most succinct and accurate way I've heard to explain and justify why you're sounding like a wet blanket to people that may not understand, while acknowledging that you know how you sound, but there is a reason for it. I expect to use this in the future.
Interesting. But this wouldn't work in a shop because the internal API would need to be maintained.
If transmitting power was more efficient we could just have solar in the lit time zones powering those in the dark.
I'd end up trying to use the wrong bindings on systems that don't have the configuration yet. I've just got too many boxes/VMs (and have too many individual users on each) and haven't gone to the trouble to setup a solution for rc files in a long time (since before my current batch of servers was deployed). Solving that problem is probably a productive use of my time.
You should not tie any functionality, user experience, and last but certainly not least, security to an IP address. IP addresses can be spoofed rather easily, using public wifi, hotel/guest networks, and even certain ISPs means the rotating of IP addresses on each user request.
Mentioned this in your other comment too, but this time with name and link :) We "invented" dnslink for that, which is a TXT record of the form `dnslink=/ipfs/<hash>` or `dnslink=/ipns/<hash>` -- https://github.com/jbenet/go-dnslink
Generative Choreography Using Deep Learning [pdf]
I did for years- trying several varieties only to discover they were making my problems worse. The doctors weren't helpful. These days I've turned to marijuana and light exercise (yoga, running, hiking) and have never been happier- mentally and visibly.
Given more and more custom fonts in the OSes/websites, maybe by using some new APIs, we don't need to specify everything in the Unicode standard. We can design a new font format or just a separate datafile, to store those locale-specific information. The Unicode code points then becomes parking slots for different fonts(with locale info to be registered). And We can use the standard/default datafile to keep the old info about the current unicode standard (say Unicode 8.0).

This is just my first thought. Seems that the job of ICU is transfered to the OS or web browser.
I was in the same position a while back. However, thanks to this article[1] and learning a little bit about tmux behavior, I'm happily tmuxified. I recommend it.

The Mozart/Oz papers do a great job showing interesting use-cases.
Wordpress does attempt some abstraction of the database via its various wrapper classes/functions like wpdb, WP_Query, etc. It's definitely not ORM-level abstraction by any stretch of the imagination, though.
I was on antidepressants for over 3 years (why: long story for another time). The best way to describe what it did for me is that they took the really high highs and really low lows and averaged them. The best way I can describe it is if my life was a wave and someone just took a a compressor and made everything more "inline".

For me - I didn't like not feeling the really high highs and low lows. That's what life is about in my opinion. Embracing the good and bad. BUT it did help me through one of the hardest seasons of my life. Go to a qualified psychologist/psychotherapist and lay it all out. That's what I did. We talked through options - the good and the bad and in the end I decided to give them a try for a season but it's vital / crucial that you're brutally honest about where you're at with the psychologist/psychotherapist.

My contact info is in my bio - feel free to reach out. I know it's hard and life sucks sometimes but there is help and there are options. Don't give up hope.
And will continue to exist as a minority.

But the tide really changed when everyone suddenly had a video recording device in their pockets.
The network effects of popular but privacy invading platforms are what allows the lack of privacy to spread. If you use Facebook, as an example, then everyone else who uses Facebook in order to interact with you, or anyone whose face is included in a Facebook photo by you has their privacy affected by extension. Someone who's not even on Facebook but just happens to know you now has a shadow profile and their biometric data indexed somewhere in Facebook's database.
I've been trying to tell people this for a while now. Bitcoin has to be the most wasteful software project ever made; I'm sure it has indirectly pumped millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere at this point. And for what? The blockchain is a neat academic piece for which we have yet to find a good use. Bitcoin is not usable as a currency (except for illicit trade) and it never will be. The only thing Bitcoin has ever been good for is as a pump & dump scheme, and the "dump" part already happened anyway.

If we're going to blow so much computer power on raw calculations, we could use it for Folding@home, SETI@home, or any number of other great causes. But this is just a waste.
There are quite a few solutions out there that use bioinformatics to develop a signature of the user.

Google has one, a few banks use it to identify potential fraud cases appearntly even simple things about how you navigate a webpage can produce a fairly unique fingerprint even across different devices.
That is actually relatively accurate.
> it competes with the fopen() system call

Nitpick: fopen() is not a syscall, it's part of stdio which is in libc (in user mode). The nearest POSIX syscall equivalent is open(2), but stdio does things like buffering and formatting in user mode on top. It's also more portable to non-Unix because stdio is in the C language spec.

I had heard this phrase before as simply "it competes with fopen()".
There's a typo.

"struct Class : pubic Type".
It says "pubic" instead of "public". I hope it can be fixed.
The consensus among medical ethicists is that medical professionals have a pretty bad track record of treating womens' health issues. The (over-)medicalization of childbirth, for example, has had a notable impact.
"is a bad idea".
Just curious, what makes you say that about Watson?
Places and situations where you can't accommodate variable-length encodings. As far as future-proofing, UTF-8 is essentially the new ASCII, in that UTF-8 will remain a backward-compatibility goal for any other format that will succeed it.
Competitive advertising by name is illegal in most countries. The US is one exception.
I also have this. I figured it wasn't tinnitus because of how people complain that tinnitus is super annoying and this isn't really.

Then I discovered it was from the electrical apparatus.
I actually have to get quite isolated to not be able to hear anything though. Not that I especially try to, although I do tend to disconnect my power extenders before going to sleep, just in case.
Thanks. So it sounds like port forwarding is the major barrier. That and having to remember your IP address and update it every time it changes.

I wonder if IPVv6 would help here? Would we expect to get a static IP address for a device that can stay the same even when we're connected to different networks or via mobile data and wifi? That would mean even different network interfaces in the device would need to share the same address so I guess it still won't happen.
I definitely know that feeling you are talking about. Happened to my previous startup (project) which failed.

Survival is not an issue, as a developer I can always find a remote gig to pay the bills.

Joining a startup which does something somewhat interesting/relevant to my passions is a good idea, unfortunately those are a few, but it's a good place to start I reckon.

As to moving to Vietnam option, I've lived a digital nomad lifestyle for the last couple of year, and it didn't work out very well, so I moved back to SF. I'm not sure how "exploring passions" would work living in a complete isolation in a place where you don't even speak the language.
If to speak about desktop applications then any embedded DB will be unbeatable.

So I am speaking about embeddable DBs here.

Konstantin Knizhnik have implemented impressive set of various embedded DBs: http://garret.ru/databases.html

Like his POST++ has direct mapping to C++ classes so if you use C++ then you don't need any ORM.

In my Sciter[1] Engine I am using his DyBase library [3] as a bult-in persistence for Sciter's script [2] (JavaScript++).

With the DyBase in script you have features similar to MongoDB (noSQL free-form DB) but without any need for ORM and DAL - you can declare some root object as be persistable and access those data trees as if they are JavaScript objects. The engine pumps objects from DB into memory when they are needed:

var storage = Storage.open(...);
var dataRoot = storage.root; // all things inside are persitable
dataRoot.topics = []; // flat persistable list
dataRoot.topics.push({ foo:1, bar:2 }); // storing object
/* create indexed collection with string keys, keys can be unique or not */
dataRoot.titles = storage.createIndex(#string);

DyBase has Python bindings too.

Right. But, if I knock on the door of houses 1-6 and 8, and they let me in (or hand me a letter through the post slot), I have permission to enter (or take the information on that letter).

A request to a URL is just that - a request. What level of access a request grants should be the responsibility of the grantor.

Yes, I love that every byte transmitted on the Internet still reserves code points for controlling teletype (or similar) machines.
Try searching "american flag" on openclipart.org. You might find something you like.

I agree with the others -- the one you have isn't really appropriate for such a solemn subject.
I would add to this comment. I recently thought face detection was a difficult service, but its actually really easy to implement yourself.

I found these really useful: http://www.pyimagesearch.com/
The advantage of an opaque type is that you should be able to add one to it and advance one rune. Go copies the string functions from C, but doesn't (at least as of last year) offer "advance one rune" and "back up one rune" functions.
I think you might be overgeneralising just a wee tad.
It isn't a web-centric project, but a ray tracer is a very simple (at its heart), yet almost infinitely upgradeable project. Given how computationally heavy it is, that may knock out using that idea for PHP, Ruby, Python, Perl, etc...
One motivation for this from the vendor's point of view is that a cloud account means no NAT headaches=fewer customer service calls. I know, you don't need to talk to your scale when you're not home, but even setting up LAN-only access is beyond most civilians.
To clarify, I tried to do something like this back in the 90's and it was _not_ worth the effort.

Using something like Google's Protocol Buffers or a similar system where you generate a standard serialization backend for all the plain old data types you want to send across the network is way less of a pain in the ass.

If you're concerned about the overhead, look at MsgPack or Cap'n Proto - plenty of ways to shave the yak out there without needing to roll your own.
Efficiency is measured by cost and result. Doing nothing end up with no result, how is that "most efficient"? And what is the definition of effectiveness? ... maybe the word you are looking for is convenience?
Develop your code so that the API is pluggable. Try both and decide which works best for you.
Anyone (probably) with a few tools and some wood can build a dog house.

This is helpful; it's possible I'm assuming too much. The corruption did happen only once and was also during a time period that the server (a PaaS) was running maintenance including some downtime.
I will agree with you on this. Apple is slowly trying to integrate typically Android ways of doing things (check the iOS 10 preview stuff they recently showed off, very Materialistic in certain places compared to what it used to look like), but they don't do any usability testing.

What pisses me off isn't specific cases like yours, what pisses me off is app developers don't ask themselves, in general, if what they're doing in the UX makes legitimate sense.

As in, eat your goddamned dog food, people.
Reading that post makes me want to investigate LMDB as an alternative "competition for fopen()". I'd be very interested if anyone had opinions/experience on that idea.
These kinds of apps are inevitable. We will see apps that rate drivers, workers, and just people. I'm not as worried about the apps, but rather with someone gaming the rankings.

Both Yelp and Travelocity turned from awesome to pretty much useless within a few years. Reviews and ratings can be bought. Employees are forced to leave positive reviews.
I sometimes I feel like I am by my self on privacy and freedom issues.

In real life, I also often feel like I am alone in caring about privacy and freedom issues. Sometimes I feel like a crackpot when trying to explain to people who don't care why privacy is important.

However I am hopeful that us techies who are actually the ones creating the future of the web are aware of and give weight to those issues.

It seems from reading the comments on slashdot and here, that privacy issues certainly are considered by techies.

I'm not in the US, but it is almost beyond belief to me that anyone in the US could not consider the wholesale spying on their own people without judicial oversight a privacy issue. I feel like those people have very little knowledge of history and even less ability to extrapolate from that knowledge.

You are not alone, I just hope there are enough of us to make a difference.
HF needs to repeaters for around the world coverage.
If they don't need indices, almost anything will work. Few people have a big enough music library that the data won't fit in memory.
If by rune you mean code point that doesn't really gain you anything. If you are searching for something it's faster to just scan a byte at a time.

If you want to split the string into "characters" you need to do it a the grapheme level (multiple code points) and for that you need to use a unicode library. But that adds overhead when you're just scanning.

A JSON or XML scanner does not need the added overhead of advancing by code point or grapheme.
Yes it is hard to say what Bitcoin is for or against. But to be clear: it is not "central planning" in general that the Bitcoin community is against. The community wants no central planning of the MONETARY POLICY (eg. they want no long-term inflation). That is why there is a fixed 21 millions coins (therefore no policy to decide about), which is arguably one of the most liked property of Bitcoin.

The original poster insinuated Bitcoin needed all-powerful policy planners ("Davos meetings"), which is false. All that is taking place is community discussions about scaling (block size increase), but it would be absolutely incorrect to compare this to "Davos meetings".

I wonder whether our sensory system would work well enough to use such a simple strip for the back-channel too. Maybe by contracting the holes by the same patterns? I guess it would work, given how fast people can read Braille.

Consider multi-user wordpress site for example. You can have one SQLite DB per user - there is simply no information to share between users. If so you can split all your users between multiple backend machines and do per user request routing - like one machine serving users from A to F. SQLlite has cheap DB loading sequence so you can open/close it for each page request. That would be perfect horizontal scaling as all your users will not fight for single DB access.
Searching a revocation list misses the point of RESTful authentication.
One of my little go to exercises for just getting a handle on a new language is building a Sudoku solver. Usually just console output, with a command line flag to output timings.

Found that as a pretty good little first step.
The rationale is also BS unless "trust" costs just 1-2euro.
I've used that technique successfully. The relief isn't complete and it lasts only for a short period though, a few minutes perhaps.

This is not a photoelectric plant. It is a sunlight concentrator to heat salt which stores energy which is eventually used to drive a steam turbine and turn a generator. All one thing.

You could use molten salt to store electricity on its own, but I think the efficiency would make it undesirable. A steam turbine is something like 50% efficient and is probably the least efficient part of the system, so it just gets worse from there. For comparison, lead acid batteries are above 70% efficient.
But it's not RESTful which was the entire purpose of JWT.
I think the Unicode standard should not limit the use of fonts. Instead, let the font or the additonal locale datafile tell us how to deal with those locale issues.

I'm curious to know how come Sqlite performed so bad on couple millions records.

Google built its business and its current $500+ billion status on stealing other websites' content and storing it on their servers.

What operations were you doing in your benchmark? What was SQLite actually doing (CPU?, disk I/O?) while taking 30 seconds to finish? This would be a lot more useful and less FUDdy with more detail.
He's likely breaking a FCC anti-interference law (with older equipment probably). Radio waves have harmonics like instruments do, sort of. So you repeat your transmission quieter and quieter on some surrounding frequency.

You can hear it because your headphone wires will pick up wavelengths about the same length (ever heard of people making AM radios with wire and a tin can?). My understanding and I hope I can be corrected if wrong is that this only will work for FM transmissions.

I've heard the best thing to do in these situations is to politely inform your neighbor of the situation and to investigate a solution. Probably some filter on his transmitter would do the trick. But I'm sure if he's serious about radio, he'll have a grand time fixing it...
> The issues with OTP [...]

The primary issue is that through misuse it degrades almost instantly from unbreakable to "little better than ROT13". And, it still appears secure to the hapless user.

A lot of statements in this article aligns well with that of MyDef: https://www.gitbook.com/book/huizhou/programming-with-mydef/...

The ideal of MyDef is actually have each programmer customize and maintain their own meta-layer compiler so he can develop his own syntax and vocabulary as he grows -- just like the way we develop our natural language skills. In our natural language, we do share most of our vocabulary (which is the base of our ability to communicate), but each of us all attach some individuality to the words we use. When I tell my son to go to school, I meant exactly to finish lunch, pack up bags, get out of the door and board the bus by specific time. That is potentially very different from the same word being used by other people. My own customization allows for the efficiency in our use of natural language. The efficiency is supported by the context established between me and my son (and rest of the family to certain extent). A custom user maintained MyDef (or any other eventually chosen) toolchain where individual programmer can easily search, read, check and add or modify will provide such context for programming language to achieve this efficiency.
Given the lack of privacy, security, etc. - using amateur radio is a no go for me.
It's a shitty title anyway, it's suggesting the tear-down is somehow relevant to the price. Additionally, $5.5 million is the asking price, and luxury real estate is notoriously over priced in listings - the real price is usually tremendously lower.
