Lol! Looks like this is saying:

Green: Not in the Indian Ocean.

Blue: Not in the Pacific near Ecuador.

Yellow: Not in the Southern hemisphere.

Red: Somewhere in Europe, Greenland, North Africa, or Svalbard.

In your case, the red circle is the only one that really matters. Yellow took a tiny slice out of it near Iraq.
It wasn't intentional. This was alluded to in Tavis's previous exploit.

But that being said, it's hilarious.
For city life, Boston clearly beats San Francisco. In the USA, probably only New York can beat Boston.

Prime example: two decades ago, Boston's MBTA T (subway/tram/light rail stuff) had technology that San Francisco's MUNI still can't manage.

LA is a sprawl. Chicago is a war zone. Well, LA is that too. This may be city life, but it doesn't count if we're considering positive attributes!

Was hoping to see that vcredist_xxx would install whatever was needed to get the CRT and the newer UCRT in place. That's a nightmare for an application developer because it can require one or more Windows Updates, which have been found to not always install as documented, and even possibly needing a service pack. VS2015 is cool, but unusable for shrinkwrap software because of the new UCRT dependencies.
sed, chattr, dtach, screen, ssh, bash, etc. are all nice tools that can help you get shit done and mad reliable.
IMHO, the security industry has been guilty of adding complexity to existing systems rather than doing its duty of stripping it away.

Eh, it's kind of a fair point, though: the sharing economy tends to favor siphoning away money from local businesses, however bad they might be.
If you're interested in a much richer type system, but also like the actor model, check out Pony (http://www.ponylang.org/), which has some pretty seriously great goals.

That said, I think the theory was that dialyzer's success typing was the most industrially pragmatically acceptable type system available at the time -- the one that you could actually get people to use -- and given all that, it's not half bad. Certainly better than nothing.
I don't think you need to do any of this shady stuff to be a small loan marketplace for unaccredited participants. But the shady stuff kills your chances to feed the CLO pipeline and selling (large batches of) small loans to accredited buyers.

So just... why take _these_ risks? It doesn't have a realistic chance of helping any viable strategy that I can think of.

I would make that argument a few years back when 3rd party A/V is the only choice. But now you have the built-in Windows Defender, which is a valid A/V, why not upgrade your OS and get it for free?
there is also the journal of universal rejection: http://www.universalrejection.org/
My sentiments exactly. Brilliance doesn't excuse bad design.
Open source does, however, require coordination time, training, answering a different set of questions than they currently do, probably rejecting all sorts of good code because it doesn't meet their vision and pissing off those contributors, or worse letting the code in.

Heck, just reviewing someone else's code is a potentially huge time sink.
The short answer: It depends.

The long answer: It depends on what your biggest constraint is. If your biggest constraint is server cost, then I would suggest C++. C++ has come a long way in terms of web services, and if you are doing both image processing and machine learning, then C++ will give you unparalleled performance and access to libraries. However, if your primary constraint is developer hours, then python is the way to go. You won't have the same explicit control, but for OpenCV and Machine Learning, Python has excellent support and you will end up having much more concise, readable code.

... curing death? It's not hubris. It's something we should have been focused
on doing for at least past few hundred years. If it takes rich SV guys to
finally do something about it, I think instead calling them full of hubris one
should instead ask, why it was them who finally started tackling this problem ...

I totally appreciate what you're saying. You're saying "the rich SV guys are right, why haven't we been trying to cure death? Obviously curing death would be amazing! Death is awful!".

But the fact that people whose expertise is primarily in software, entrepreneurship, and/or investing, who all have, I think we can safely say, limited experience as biology researchers, the fact that these people are making predictions about when death will be cured and judgements as to which approaches are most promising, predictions and judgements that are not deferred to actual biologists who study senescence...there are of course upsides to such hubris (e.g. being unaffected by perverse incentives in the academic system in which biologists traditionally work), but surely you can see that there is hubris here?

In spite of all the caveats like how academia sucks, at the end of the day, the actual biologists who study senescence are still understood to be the experts on the feasibility of immortality. Making any kind of prediction or judgement call that isn't deferring to the acknowledged experts is incontrovertibly arrogant.

To be clear, we wouldn't be leveling this criticism if "rich SV guys" were simply increasing financial support for aging research. There are undoubtedly controversies around actors raising money for medical research (e.g. because it arguably results in disproportionate funding for diseases of old rich white people), but nobody criticizes those celebrities of hubris, either.

This criticism is because there are people in Silicon Valley who earnestly, genuinely believe that because they're hackers not biologists, they're gonna cure death by hacking biology. Even if you believe they're right, how can you deny the arrogance?

... finally started tackling this problem in a way that has at least a chance
of being effective.

And this part is why this hubris is harmful: the dismissal of the efforts of anyone other than the "rich SV guys" of even having "at least a chance of being effective".

politics is one of the least cost-effective way of solving *anything* one
can imagine

Which way of solving institutionalized slavery, or women's suffrage, or totalitarianism do you think would've been more "cost-effective" than politics?

At least one of those was directly caused by technology, and solved by politics and its siblings, economics and war.
I'm afraid not. No new features are being added to 2.7, but bug fixes are continuing to be released. There are lots of new features in 3.x, and these days most new projects start out with 3.x support given the compelling list of neat features. That being said, there are some of us who are still trapped on 2.7 for legacy reasons, and luckily we're still getting bug fixes (for now).

And I totally get their feelings against UI. Low level UI is a bitch to write and difficult to get right. I have abandoned ideas when I realized just how much work it would take.

These guys are clearly really smart. I agree with the other posts here in that I have no beef with the gameplay in any way. But god damn it would be nice if they would get off their high horse and learn from some working engineers.

It seems in your case all the heavy lifting will be done by libraries like OpenCv and other ML libraries which are already very efficient. So the only purpose of your server side language is to expose those capabilities to your mobile application through HTTP/REST. If this is so then go ahead with python.

Clinton’s Tech Policy Targets Young Entrepreneurs
Haha, nice. They still haven't made the AIS report default to disconnection? When they first installed it five years ago or so, they never migrated the database over from the old unit, so pretty much everything said that. Makes me wonder how easy it'd be to get an operator asking for a number to key into that trunk.

As for the announcement trunk though, there are some 5Es equipped with other machines that sound pretty good;

503-632-1064 - ETC Digicept?

248-200-0015 - Lucent 17A (flash based replacement for the 16/-A. Lots of fun too. 0010 is the remote administration number)

By the way, someone mentioned a while ago that most of the relatively recent 5ESSes encapsulate everything over ATM. The few printouts I've seen from 5Es seem to show they're capable of speaking it, but haven't sent data over the interface. Do you know if there's any truth to that?

This is a good point. The profusion of people who claim to be artists or writers, but aren't really, has really colored the perception of many people though (including myself). I was quick to mentally agree with the op comment before yours made me realize that there are probably many genuine artists who have not been "discovered" and thus have to find other means to pay the bills while continuing to create art.

it's not politicians who fed the world, it was Haber & Bosch

Without diminishing their accomplishments, it's important to note that Haber & Bosch have come and gone but world hunger still isn't solved. And it will never be solved by technology alone. It's going to require politics, and economics, and unfortunately probably war. Hopefully technology can provide an important supporting role, but the realization that technology will only be providing a supporting role, that's exactly the humility I'm arguing for.

Also, in what way were Haber & Bosch representative of "rich SV guys" or techie hubris? Maciej has never seemed to me to be criticizing mainstream scientific research at all.

It wasn't environmentalists who saved whales from extinction,
it was whoever invented that synthetic whale-oil substitute.
...
Personally, I'm getting more and more convinced that social
changes are caused by changes in technology landscape, not the
other way around.

Isn't synthetic whale-oil a clear counterexample to this causative claim? Surely you agree that research into whale-oil substitute was driven at least in part by environmentalism, it wasn't the invention of synthetic whale-oil substitute that incited people into caring about the environment.

And again, in what way is the invention of whale-oil substitute representative of the hubris that Maciej is criticizing?

we didn't have liberal democracy 500 years ago not because we
were stupid then, but because technologies that can support it

Didn't the Greeks have democracy 2500 years ago? The Roman Republic also had a form of democracy, which lasted longer than the US is old, our technology may well turn out not "support it" any better than theirs.

This reminds me of a quote from a talk I read recently:

More broadly, we have to stop treating computer technology as something
unprecedented in human history.
... let's at least learn from our past, so we can fail in interesting
new ways, instead of failing in the same exasperating ways as last time.
Sorry I didn't make it clearer, I'll try and address all your concerns in this monster of a comment.

The API docs are at http://theblackbox.ca/api (in the navbar, and two buttons on the homepage), the _rest of the site_ is a simple form based method to interact with the project. The API is just the "ideal" way of using BlackBox, but it is not the main focus.

These are physical oil paintings [Statement: "Blackbox transforms arbitrary data into physical objects.
That's it.", Oil paintings can't be digital, "Talking via Walls"], that take days of effort to put together and a few weeks to dry plus shipping time. This is not a API that returns imagery, it's an API that puzzles over inputs, smokes a bunch of cigarettes and ships a tube with canvas to your door! The API is only for longer running processes. For example, you have a pile of code, IRC logs and photographs it would be better to ZIP them up and upload them through the single-use mechanism. A good use of the API would be a IRC bot that uploads messages off a trigger ["lol" after a message or something] and then finalizes the painting on some other trigger ["!paintitblack"]. The API is meant for piece by piece submissions.

As far as identity goes, visual styles are extremely easy to map to an artist, throwing examples on there is the equivalent of using my real name. I'm not $NAME, making paintings using the visual imagery that devs can understand, painting on stripped apart CRTs and looping videos instead of a static underpainting, trying to move dead Cubism towards continuous methods or trying to create a work to be puzzled over and interpreted. I'm not $NAME with a body of work and documentation, a CV and BFA whose process and history can be understood. I'm a metaphor for/am an opaque mechanism/abstraction with inputs and outputs.

I'm assuming the identity of a piece of infrastructure, an anonymous construct, a neutral mask. BlackBox is a performance piece, that satisfies the Interface for a API, while providing a space (between creator/painter) for exploration of new space (read: Your servers). Blackbox collects materials for collage in a space where corporeal beings cannot! If I simply wanted collage materials, I would wander and collect them. But I want an equivalent in terms of data fragments (logs, requests, error messages, anything!), captured from your infrastructure, preferably in transit.

If I am $NAME, this turns into a way to pragmatically commission my works (although, it currently does satisfy these criterion) and that is just a little less then this project aims for. Collage is investigation.

Examples were going to be self-documenting via a nice unique hashtag on a card allowing the viewer to choose if this is private conversation or public status symbol? A few of these floating around could give you an idea. At the end of the project the full set of my documentation is released and my name, etc.

Although it doesn't really matter, because no one has taken the first interaction. So does anyone even want developer orientated Art? The capitalist answer is No.
> it has absolutely no clue what a laptop is

It also has no clue what a server is. Servers with Windows 2012 R2, force the users to reboot. How stupid are microsoft, that they assume that people will be ok with rebooting production servers in the middle of the day.
Some roguelike developers and solo game developers in general are notorious for writing code like this. The developer of Ultima Ratio Regum (http://www.ultimaratioregum.co.uk/game/) bragged on Roguelike Radio podcast about how his code base is difficult to deal with because it's a 500K LOC single Python file... He claims it's because he doesn't have a CS background but in practice most developers learn these practices in the industry, academic code is also known for being bad. There's definitely a proud ignorance to this style of programming, he knows he should be doing something else but can't be bothered to take steps that might make him more productive. Not intangibles but basic things like keeping his text editor from locking up or running slow.

> But does anyone else feel kind of betrayed/insulted that the project is not open source?

Honestly, I find it hard to comprehend how much entitlement your comment suggests. A game is a work of art for his creator(s) and it is their own prerogative if they release the source code or not.

I can understand someone that wishes a game to be open source for study or moding purposes. But insulted by a game that doesn't align with my political agenda/view is a bit too much.
Virtualbox - means I can run Linux on the same computer very easily. Easy to use and reasonably fast.

Keepass - been using that password manager for years. Nice search feature that always saves my *.

Vim - nice way to code on a laptop. Makes super efficient use of space and rarely requires me to use the track pad.
You answered your question. It is a risk... a risk that not many are prepared to take. LC seems like it serves those who are willing to take that risk in hopes of getting better returns.

And how is that mode of expression anything higher than selfish indulgence?

In cinema that sentiment has resulted in some of the most vapid, unwatchable trash ever created. In music this results in experimental, unlistenable noise that never seems to appeal to anyone enough to be self-sustaining. It's like an emotionally repressed teenager crying out, "you don't understand my pain, man! you'll never understand!" We do understand, we've all gone through it, and we've moved on.

If DF's creators want to be avant garde, then fine. But it is a lonely, and possibly pointless path, and again a damn shame, because oh how amazing it would be if it weren't!

>> If you think just allowing people to vote directly will somehow circumvent the natural tendency of people for herd mentality, confirmation bias, and valuing anecdotes and personal experience over statistics, then I think you're vastly underestimating those problems.

That's why software makes it possible. Large scale polling systems are well understood at this point. Abuse detection is a solved problem, correcting for bias is well understood too. Giving people access to information, while at the poll, will increase the number of truly informed constituents when voting.

This doesn't completely reinforce my point, but if you're interested in the topic it's worth the listen: http://www.flashforwardpod.com/2016/04/19/episode-11-swipe-r...
> In an interview I read, Tarn said something to the effect of that "he was not interested in learning about version control and it would just be a distraction that would take away time from the important work, since the way he works has worked for him for many years".

I want you all to imagine having to work with this person.
Realistically speaking, it's far more likely that in an established industry like autos the cheating company will simply beat their competitors at market because they can sell cheaper, spend less on research, etc.

It's nice to imagine that maybe it would breed "super companies" that are tougher, smarter, and more efficient because they thought they had to be to compete. But, there aren't any order-of-magnitude wins to be had in automobile technology. There are no lone geniuses who figure out how to eke out 10% more efficiency with this one weird (but patentable) trick. It takes research over a long period time to make even modest gains, and a cheater in the market bleeds the honest companies of resources.

And, to go further: Because Volkswagen made these claims about diesel tech, other honest companies may have been wasting resources trying to match the dishonest VW claims...when there are actual better techs they could have been pursuing. This may have led to even less gains over the time VW were faking data.

I think, all around, it is lose-lose.

So, what do people run on their servers / macbooks for AV? Anything?

I was in a meeting just last week with our new "head of Security" who exclaimed when i stated our Macbooks nor or Ubuntu severs run any AV software (We run firewalls and things like fail-2-ban, but no traditional AV).

I know i'm going to get into a debate with them over this, so, what would be a good 'win-win' type position for me to fall back on to satisfy this point and not clutter my machines up with junk, if there is such a thing?
