Imagine taking a thousand copies of War and Peace, cutting them into strings of less than 10 characters, and mixing them all up. Even with the entire corpus of human literature to compare to, I doubt you'd be able to reassemble the scraps back to something even close to War and Peace. In fact, you could probably take those scraps and turn them into any number of completely different novels, because your building blocks are so small you've got essentially no constraints to work with. You don't have complex ideas, you just have the basic building blocks of language.

Now, I'm not saying this is the case for dinosaurs, just that, given enough time to decay, it makes sense that eventually DNA would reach a point where it isn't possible to reconstruct, because the information just isn't there any more. I'd be curious to know how long it would take to reach this point.
> Actually, I'm calling the ignorance and insecurity a cancer that needs to be killed.

This by you is better? It's not the people who need killing, it's just their perception of the world and their deeply held beliefs. Who, having once heard you explain this, could possibly not start heeding what you have to say?
I've always felt that the meta space is too exponential or hyper to mentally represent or communicate. Perhaps we need different lenses to project the effects of the meta space on our mental model. Do you think this is why Gregor decided to move towards aspects?

Strategy Design Pattern in Automated Testing
Francisco Partners and Elliott Management to Acquire Dell Software Group
Thanks! There aren't any firm plans, but we are thinking about what might make sense.
While the methods are different from what Alan has espoused in the past, I'd like to believe the goals are very well aligned.
The others weren't compelling, but at least most of them weren't completely nuts.

Sure, the Republican primary electorate found Trump compelling, and that's why they won. And that's what scares me. I don't think they necessarily should have found any of the others compelling (what an awful field of candidates, I mean, seriously, what happened there?) but that's beside the point.

It's not the same hard drive, but the files in /var/log/installer/ show I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on 24 October 2010. It's been upgraded since, and copied to a new drive at least once.

/etc/popularity-contest.conf has the same timestamp, so I'm curious whether Ubuntu (or Debian) keep any statistics on the lifetime of a system.
My friend Neil Postman (our best media critic for many years) advocated teaching children to be "Guerilla Warriors" in the war of thousands of entities trying to seize their brains for food. Most children -- and most parents, most people -- do not even realize the extent to which this is not just aggressive, but regressive ...
All the fuzz, I'm pretty sure they make exceptions to that rule... money makes up for stupid policies...
And you legitimately believe that someone who doesn't support Trump doesn't care about the future of our country? You're throwing around an ideal that doesn't really have a black and white definition as a metric to create your us vs them battle, come on now. I'm not a Trump supporter but I certainly detest the political game of charging each side up against each other and neither being able to even BEGIN to comprehend how the other side of the aisle filled out.
...he said, because the claim that it's not possible to be racist against white people had actually won over anybody ever.

"Mexico is not a race"
> In rusts case it sounds like we will ship rustup.rs in distros

I sincerely doubt any enterprise level distribution will make that the primary source of obtaining a rust compiler. I would bet good money that Red Hat won't. It's counter to most of the reason enterprise distributions exist in the first place, which is a stable (often at the cost of many other feature) base on which to build and support. If they aren't doing this, they aren't an enterprise distribution. This goes as far as Red Hat back-porting bug-fixes to 7 year old versions of utilities and libraries, because any change .needs to be backwards compatible at all cost. Additionally, there's the question of ensuring that all relevant portions of the rust install are removed on package removal.

At the same time, getting the source and every patch applied to it, and the complete compile instruction for a package is generally very easy. It's meant to be repeatable. For Red Hat, you just get the appropriate srpm instead of rpm, and that unpacks a source tarball and any associated patches separated, along with an rpmbuild config that contains all the info used to build an rpm package from them. Every single thing, including the kernel is built this way.

That's not to say rustup won't possibly be shipped as an extra utility, in one of th emain rust packages or as a separate one, but it definitely won't be the primary method most distributions provide for rust development (in the case of the non-enterprise distros, because it's just not as convenient as saying "install rust" and having it just be there, in a confirmed tested version that works with whatever other packaged tooling they provide. There are downsides to this, but there are also many benefits.
If someone else also want to see the keynote, they have a recording: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/88610090
Yeah, if people's perception and deeply held beliefs involve ignorance and insecurity then I think that needs to go. Americans need to stop being such cowards, and they need to stop embracing anti-intellectualism. The fact that cowardice and anti-intellectualism are deeply held beliefs by many doesn't change what I think of them.

I don't really know what else you'd expect. Do you think I should embrace this stuff?
5 Designers Draw a Bicycle Icon: A Fiverr Experiment
"People" also have to want to live there. And by "people" I mean there has to be at least some sort of general appeal of the location to a large portion of the population. Despite everyone's whining about the government or how obnoxious its residents are, California is a pretty great place to be, and was that way 40 years ago as well. Detroit has a pretty major stigma to overcome, and I doubt it could when there are plenty of other places with similar advantages and no stigma.
The software looks neat. But for the above user, is there an option to vertically exaggerate the topography?
The qualified majority mechanism actually means that the power of the large countries are less than their population numbers imply. Both France and Germany have also capped their numbers of MEPs so that smaller countries have a larger share. That's actually, in contrast to most of the other stuff you posted, undemocratic, but to the benefit of the smaller countries.

PS: just to mention a few, as you seem to be German: is the Bundeskanzler directly elected? Is that undemocratic? Are the ministers elected? Is it undemocratic that Bavaria has more influence than Bremen via the Bundesrat? Is it undemocratic that Bremen has many more votes per population in the Bundesrat than Bayern? Is it undemocratic that both California and Alabama have the same number of senators?
My full-time job
I've read of some people who were finally set free after a long stretch in solitary confinement, and many of them attributed the preservation of their sanity to simple math or word exercises. I believe one would just count exponents of two as far as he could go and another would try remembering every word in every language they knew.

Not sure of similarities to brain training games, but I would bet there is something there.
In terms of hormonal emotions, which would be the most direct sense of value that we have is completely different. Love might feedback into aggression, but they are very different.

This is view is also very naive but it's the breakdown of the "good" and "bad" discussion. Nobody commits war crimes for their intrinsic value. This is akin to the saying, nobody likes to think they're the bad guys. Even, there are no bad values since the absence of value is the worst.

Naivety is not necessarily wrong, it's just the lack of detail which often leads to the wrong results.
We are definitely cheating there - we use the same colorizer for C and C++. I don't remember why we define two different languages that point to the same colorizer.

Please help us out and contribute a PR. Here[1] is where we register the C language and point to the cpp colorizer. And here[2] is the cpp colorizer. Please go ahead and try the C++ colorizer out at the Monarch playground[3] and edit it to make it colorize only C keywords, etc. Here[4] are the steps for adding a new colorizer.

Looking forward for a contribution on this :).

We interact with computers in a very different way from how we interact with real world property. There are no clear property lines and no clear boundaries. Even when liability isn't zero sum, I think we've both seen companies blame the hackers fully and use that as a fig leaf for their own negligence. I really haven't seen companies punished beyond a few cost of doing business fines.

The idea that we should be deliberately vague about where the boundaries are and let people stumble into felonies doesn't make any sense to me. The idea that we should let someone write that into a thousand page ToS also doesn't sit well with me. I'd rather it be a question of fact.

Take the case about modifying the URL. It's normal to be able to type any URL I like. Why should it be a felony if I try other IDs? I'm simply making a request, it's up to them to decide what access I should or should not have, or even googlebot may end up being a felon. The fact is that much of the web is and always has been open by default. Anonymous FTP is normal... if you want authentication, you should configure that. The idea that someone could be a felon because they were somehow supposed to know that your misconfigured FTP server wasn't supposed to let them in is simply unreasonable and it only works out because prosecutions are rare.

That's why I want a proper boundary. If you're not deliberately hacking someone or social engineering someone and if the only thing you do is to report the bug you found to responsible parties (the site owner/operator or government) I'm not willing to charge someone with a felony for modifying a URL or logging into anonymous FTP or whatever else like that.

Is your platform distributed and decentralised?

Yes

Is your platform easier for Joe public to publish websites on than wordpress and without a central service provider?

Yes, just as easily as in multi-person Wordpress. But it does much more than just publish a website. It can power a web app, one that goes in the app store, support social features like contacts, access control, realtime updates and offline notifications, and more.

Does your platform prevent government snooping?

Yes, by preventing data from accumulating in a single information silo. More than that, we believe that access to the global internet (as Facebook was trying to with Internet 2.0 in India) should be unnecessary, as people on cruises or local villages should connect on local area networks, and only access the wider internet when necessary. We believe the older tools in the dialup era were designed more properly than the ones which assume always-on broadband access and only have "isOnline/isOffline" dichotomy.

Does your platform prevent the accumulation of data in a single information silo?

Yes. People choose what organizations they host with. When they visit another domain, they have an instantly personalized experience, with all friends who wanted to share that they also use the service. Much better than "Your friend XYZ is now on Instagram" without their permission, and much better than oAuth. Over time, you might import enough information to have a full-fledged presence in both communities, and choose which one to auth with. Some communities are for your videos, the others are for some group activities or whatever. Any community can embed components from any other community. Any aggregator can subscribe to publishers (with their permission) and get realtime updates, with custom stream types, instead of e.g. Google spidering your site.

Just take a look: http://qbix.com/platform/features/distributed

Does it reinvent the Web, making it, as a whole, inherently less centralised than it already is?

It builds on top of the web, which is already decentralized, and makes it possible for communities to deploy apps on their domain which rival those on facebook.com, and which allow users to seamlessly use their identities and friends across domains.

Can it do all of the above in a non-centralised way, resilient to network outages, and loss of resources at their original location, across the whole of the Web?

It is designed to power mesh networks such as the ones being set up in various cities. The mobile wireless infrastructure is still centralized, but that will eventually change.

Does it embed key moral principles into the fabric of the Web?

See http://magarshak.com/blog/?p=135 for my own overview of the moral and political principles behind the platform.

Some of the other things you mentioned aren't really addressed, such as "Can it verify financial transactions and authenticate data sources?" That's more for blockchains. Our platform does not rely on any global resources except possibly DNS.
I've no experience of Worldwind but Cesium and ViziCities both use WebGL and both display the same kind of data. Cesium is built around the concept of a round, globe-like representation of the world whereas ViziCities is a flat representation of the world. ViziCities is arguably simpler to use and simpler in functionality, whereas Cesium is built with scientific and incredibly accurate scientific data visualisation in mind (eg. satellite positioning).
I have a few things in my links on the topic of safe metaprogramming outside your own work. Here's a few I could remember on top of head:

Type-safe metaprogramming Sheard

Type-safe, reflective metaprogramming Microsoft

http://research.microsoft.com/apps/video/dl.aspx?id=103561

Rascal - Metaprogramming language and platform

http://www.rascal-mpl.org/

So, given work like that, what remaining tough problems are there before you would find a metaprogramming system safe and acceptable? Or do we have the fundemantals available but you just don't like the lack of deployment in mainstream or pragmatic languages and IDE's?

Note: Just dawned on me that you might mean abstract programming in the sense of specifying, analyzing, and coding up abstract requirements closer to human language. Still interested in what gripes or goals you have on that end if so.

That;s the danger. If they are giving advice that results in you submitting different answers that you otherwise would have, they are boarding on giving legal advice. It's all well and good when things work out, but when that advice goes wrong it can be very very bad for the client. That's why lawyers are licensed. These people are also handling lots of personal information that I hope would be covered by attorney-client privilege, but only if they are lawyers.

Awesome, I looked into immigration processes a couple years ago and it seemed almost impossible.
The first Smalltalk-80 tape was delivered to Apple, Tektronix, HP and DEC on February 17, 1981. So in a way, they all had licenses at this point though it was more a contract to review the system and the book that was being written as well as dedicating at least two engineers each to try to implement it. Three more tapes followed (the last one probably early in 1982).

When Smalltalk-80 Version 2 was released all four companies got a free license for it which allowed them to do anything they wanted, including re-release it under a different license. Which is what Apple did (three times) with Squeak. The Version 2 license is from 1982 while the Squeak licenses are from 1996 and 2006.

But you are right - Xerox did not give Apple any special treatment compared to the other three, though it did compared to the world in general.

Note that Apple had several Smalltalk users involved in the development of the Lisa and the Macintosh, but they felt Smalltalk was too much for the machines they were creating. Steve Jobs felt that was still the case when developing the NeXT, which is why they used the Smalltalk/C hybrid Objective-C.
It may be that its easier for people to define the desired result set, then tweak the query until it gives them what they want.
No, at least in my standard, that would be material deception. You said that was your name/address/whatever, but it's actually an SQL command.

I suppose you'll ask what if someone's name really is Bobby Tables, but then I submit that it either can't be tailored to your database, or that their intent when changing their name to exploit you counts as social engineering and I don't consider it worth optimizing for.

Don't discount execution though... I kinda see it as the chicken-egg issue -- that any city with a huge group of tech-smart people properly aligned (usual case: money) toward a good goal can make it another SV. Networking effects are huge in the startup scene -- smart people want to hang out with other smart/ambitious people and enjoy nice things and money only helps with that.
At least to me, it seems like doing repetitive puzzles isn't likely to do much more than make you good at that type of puzzle, rather than building actual problem-solving skills. I used to play these games with pretty little actual impact outside of my score...

In math and logic, I've found a pretty great resource in https://brilliant.org/ with many quizzes and wikis that focus on the underlying connections and general problem-solving approaches, which has made me better at solving actual problems.

You are talking about weight loss programs.

That doesn't necessarily inform weight loss in general. It sort of points to external interventions not being hugely useful.

Personally, I'm about 25% down from my heaviest and a bit more than 10% down from a decade ago. I've never gone on a program, I've just examined my habits and worked to improve them. I would say that it's taken many years to have my weight and habits stabilize at the new lower levels. But that's fine.
I'm not arguing that you should vote for Trump. I'm just pointing out the lies and distortion. People should make their decision based on facts.

> Trump is calling bias here is because he knows that he antagonized people of Mexican origin

Doesn't matter. Even if Trump deliberately antagonized people of Mexican origin, he still deserves fair treatment in court.

> Re: Muslim ban/profiling

Muslim profiling is the de facto security policy in the United States and has been since way before Trump announced his candidacy. If Muslim profiling is equivalent to Nazi treatment of the Jews, I look forward to your spirited campaign calling for the resignation and charging of Obama. I agree on the Muslim ban: not a good idea, would have no effect on terrorism, and is contrary to the ideals of the country.

> You said that no one mentioned it. Apparently, you and I read different articles by sama then.

It's my fault, I meant no one mentioned it in the thread, and I didn't realize that you were referencing the articles reference. But again, I do think it's irrelevant to the point about the judge. Every argument should stand on logic and truth, otherwise we're just like the conspiracy theorists who put together 1 true argument, and 9 false ones, then point to the true one whenever someone points out the issues with the false ones.

> I'm sorry, but being a Trump supporter means you accept his positions on race, immigrants, and the economy.

I do agree with his position on removing illegal immigrants. They're a modern slave labor class in America that is being capitalized by the rich. They're mistreated, underpaid, and when I look at it the only two solutions I can think of to the problem are open borders or enforcement of the borders. Unfortunately Trump is the only candidate calling for the latter.
Capitalism is rather a human worth maximizer. It's not a money maximizer.
