My suggestion is to start your side project right away, regardless of whether you think it will be profitable or not.
Both art and kitsch are emergent judgements that result from how people practice aesthetics and creativity at scale. It's a fair question to ask individuals as long as you're more interested in what they think about art than hoping for a definitive answer that will somehow resolve millennia of contentious debate, but individual definitions are beside the point.

That said, I've been toying with a definition recently, that "art is something that should be considered more deeply." I like this definition because it foregrounds (instead of trying to dodge) the various agencies and tensions involved.
>Honest question -- did you get the same emotional read off of the machine-poems as you did the human-poems?

Yep -- none.
Weird, I remember running into (an earlier version of) one of these devices at a club in Hermosa Beach, CA around 1997.

I'm guessing that one was locally manned by someone nearby. It's possible that device did not have a videocam feed back either but that local person had LOS on the robot.
The source code is available, but I guess we need an hero to type it all in.

Friend, I live a life not so different from yours. I'm suggesting that other people choose to have cars now - and historically as well - because they find that the advantages for them outweigh the disadvantages for them.

You may want to consider that other people may make their choices for reasons they personally find compelling in the context of their individual lives.

Just letting you know, the FCC prohibits landlords from disallowing satellite dishes and broadcast antennas from being installed in areas controlled by the tenant. You can disallow them in common areas (like the roof, which you mentioned), sure, but the FCC will come down on you hard if they get wind of you trying to interfere with them installing a satellite dish on their balcony.

> Do you feel that the developer experience of collaborating on code is broken as there are multiple tools that we have to use such as Github for repo hosting, irc for discussions, mailing lists, audio/video chat when collaborating with a small team?

Not broken per se, but it's more friction and less tightly integrated. Although I'm not actually after better social tools myself - I'm more interested in CI integration.

I've tried travis in the past on github for C# projects - and immediately hit their mono installation not supporting even building my MSTest projects. Now I'm using gitlab for their CI integration - their runner model may be way simpler for the purposes of building (I just feed it shell scripts I write myself), and in practice requires me to admin my own servers for private on-windows CI builds, but I was going to have to do that anyways. (Also, several of them are just my workstations configured to run CI builds in the background.) And it works. Even better, the build status gets nicely integrated into the commit history.
Yep, the human poems would often refer back to an idea or word mentioned before. The computer poems read like something from a good markov generator.

Actually, you can kind of reverse engineer the algorithm behind Sonnet #2. It seems like they first pick a bunch of related words that rhyme (drawer, door, floors, apartment, wall) and then build up the line backwards. The problem is that even though the words are related, the actual lines don't form any single cohesive image.
>There's a lot riding on the London real estate market at the moment, the financial centre of Europe might be about to shift, and a whole lot of people who live on the wrong side of the border may or may not be incentivised to cross back (both EU migrants and British pensioners).

The London real estate market is in a bubble, which should be obvious by the number of places that are purchased and then left empty. The sooner a bubble like that pops the better, but in this case Brexit is likely to prolong it - the UK in general and London in particular have gone out of their way to attract wealthy people, and Brexit will make it easier.

That goes double for the financial sector.

Most of the doom and gloom economic stuff is just a primal scream from people who are angry at those clods in the UK who decided they would vote in their own interests.
The C# code is the same, what's the difference? I don't get it. I seriously don't see the difference now when I launch VS and VSCode.

The only advantage of VS is the better debugging as well as analytics (GC points, hotpaths etc.) but you don't get that in most other languages anyway so it comes as a nice bonus.

Or in other words the UK is exceptional, and will avoid the forces that wreck the economies of other nations in similar situations.

Of course at many times in the last 100 years our economy was not "just fine". The post war era was a string of constant economic trouble, despite having many thousands of eager civil servants. And the 1930s saw horrible unemployment and desperation.

You have to admit that brexit is an act of enormous bravado. People have forgotten just how bad things can get. Right now we are spending the dividend afforded to us by decades of peace. I hope it is worth the price. You may be right in everything you say, but I just wanted the prosperity to last just a little longer.
You are being rhetorical, but over its long history dialects of BASIC have been used to write a huge amount of software. It was the first generally accessible interpreted language, and its influence on programming today is no less than Lisp or Smalltalk. It was a major driver of early personal computing, got Microsoft rolling, and in the process produced a huge crop of programmers that allowed the web to be commercialized and become what it is today.

You make it sound like it was an ill-conceived goal to make a simple and understandable language, but the reason most of us aren't writing our CRUD apps in BASIC isn't that we all moved to APL.
Are you suggesting that the legislature cannot pass a law that voids part or all of a contract that was valid when written?

It's very open at this point (since nothing has been decided really), but it's quite difficult to believe that there won't be any shift at all and that London will be able to retain all of its existing financial services marketshare in Europe.

I won't comment on your claims about the quality of life in those cities vs London, but I think it's worth bearing in mind the fact that they already have a significant amount of financial businesses today, and that traders and asset managers may not like being paid in a rapidly depreciating currency.

There are really some justified concerns about what's going to happen to the financial industry in the UK post-Brexit, it's not just all mindless fear mongering.

Your comparison with Delaware and NY isn't applicable at all really. The US operates under a single currency, with a single set of financial regulators, with an even stronger version of passporting. There are local differences in laws and taxes applicable to corporations between states, but nothing like what you find when you cross an actual border.

Carrying bottled water and soft drinks is a major hassle without a car.

That's why we just drink tap water, or water with syrup if you like something sweet (a bottle of syrup lasts a week). It's a lot cheaper, too.
I think this has more to do with how we operate at high speed. I delegate my memory to list apps and simple text notes. Since I did not have to store the information for any length of time in my head it's hard to recall that information later. Same break down as note taking in high level college courses. If you never read the notes it's like you never heard the lecture.

> "Why not experiment with humans living in structures resembling tribes, which is really what our human intellect evolved into for thousands of years?"

Most of my waking hours are spent at work, my department is the size of a small tribe, full of small tribe politics. Also the middle managers force the tribes to fight each other gladiator style. This does nothing for the customers or investors, but obviously the leaders get a high out of it because practically all middle managers across the country act that way.

My kids live most of the time in a separate tribe called school. That is one screwed up tribe where they're all the same age and ability and demographic, mostly. Unlike every other tribe they'll ever be a member of. There they are instructed in the fine art of being interchangeable cog laborers on the assembly lines that closed back in my grandpas generation, in other words its pretty much useless other than as extremely expensive babysitting. So yeah Prussian style public school is pretty much designed to maximally suck. But its their legally required tribal membership until they're 18.

The question isn't why can't we LARP artificial pretend clubs and fraternal organizations, but why did they decline in the first place and if the root cause hasn't been fixed why would LARPing bootstrap anything? If the root impediment is eliminated shouldn't those social organizations grow organically, in fact at unpreventable rates?
That still involves moving to Sacramento. Most of the people in SV are there because they want to be in SV, not Sacramento. They want to be in SV to be in the center of what's happening, not to mention the cultural fusion of SF.
This article strikes home with me...I've not told this story publicly before:

I've burnt out twice, it ain't pretty and once you've experienced burnout it opens doors in your brain that are difficult and time consuming to close again. So you're best off making sure those doors remain closed by taking care of yourself :)

For the first five or so years of my software company I worked like a dog on meth. It wasn't smart working, it was sheer brute force and ignorance that got the business off the ground. Come Christmas every year I would be a shell of myself. Christmas was the only time I really stepped back from work, and I inevitably got ill most years as my body recovered from the sustained beating I'd given it that year.

My first burn out was 2011. The recession had kicked in, clients were going away or shrinking their spend with us in droves. To compound matters my personal finances were intricately linked to the businesses success or failure due to the personal guarantees I'd signed on loans and the office space. I started to suffer panic attacks and general anxiety. I tried to self medicate both positively (exercise) and negatively (drugs), but ultimately hit the deck hard.

The noise in my brain caused by the anxiety and stress had my brain at 100% CPU all the time, leaving nothing for work or, well, anything. It took about three months before I could go back to work in any normal sense of the word.

Fast forward to last year (2015) around Christmas time. Another very busy year but this time business is brisk and so I was rolling around in our moderate successes. Again, December came, and I hit the deck. This time I had a wicked health scare to boot. It took about four to five months, so slightly longer, to recover from this one.

Fool me once and all that. I've now restructured the business so that it's almost impossible for me to work myself to death. I appointed a managing director to take care of the day to day stuff that was burning me out, leaving me to focus on strategy and leadership - the things I'm good at.

It's ironic that I called my business Atlas - Clever Software because he's the Greek God condemned to hold up the sky for eternity. I condemned myself to holding the heavy weight of a very complex and difficult to scale business. I'm very lucky to not have long term physical or mental issues as a result of the stress I needlessly endured. I know other founders who are not so lucky.

It's due to this backstory of mine that I have an deep dislike of the 'hustle' culture. It's alright to bust your backside to get a business off of the ground, but at all times you owe it to yourself and those who love you to put your health and wellbeing first. You've got one body but there's millions of business/work opportunities out there that you don't have to kill yourself to make a success of.

Polyvalent in French rather means someone with multiple competencies, or something which can be used in more than one way.
I don't think so. It means that the tooling is broken, which is not at 1.0 yet (still in `preview2` I believe).
If an infinite sequence of all heads is a possible outcome, then it is not true that the relative frequency converges to 0.5 in the limit. It is obviously true for many infinite sequences but if all heads is a possibility then it is not true in general.

Just to clarify, I am talking about the frequentist's claim that in the long run the relative frequency becomes the probability, i.e. P(x) = lim[n -> ∞] nx / n where n is the number of trails and nx is the number of trails that yielded x. So again, if an infinite sequence of heads is a possible outcome, then that would mean P(heads) = 1 while the frequentist asserts that it necessarily must become 0.5.
Your argument is sadly still not clear to me.
Some one asked is Estonia a nordic country, I said that in my book it as much as one as Finland because those 2 countries share an ethnic bound that is probably stronger than what Finland shares with Denmark.
It seems like an invitation to explain what this package brings to the table that others don't. You don't use a piece of software just because it's newer than the alternatives. I'm not familiar with any of the libraries mentioned, so any response would be more information than I currently have.

It's unfortunate that their phrasing could also be interpreted as an attempt to question the usefulness of the new library, and might be read that way, depending on how obvious the reader thinks that the answer is.

End users and tech people always knee-jerk about anything that changes, whether it's a positive change or not.

The Ribbon interface they introduced in Office back in 2007 was a huge improvement over the mess of dialogs, toolbars and menus they had before by every metric. People still bitch about it, almost a decade later. The people who bitch about it benefit as much as everybody else from the increased usability, but that doesn't stop the bitching.

And it's not just Microsoft. People bitched at Firefox when they moved the menu into the tabs. People bitched at Chrome when it removed "http" from the URL bar (I just noticed it seems to have come back at some point), people bitch about everything all the time. Not because they genuinely didn't like it, or because it makes their life more difficult, but because they simply hate change.

The only way to keep these people happy is to change nothing, ever. Is that really what you want? It's not what I want.
I am kind of new to the infosec scene. I was curious because your stuff seems thorough, but the new TLD domain made me wonder where you all came from, like rebranding or something else. Sounds like a little column A, little column B.

My favorite quick security tool on Linux is firejail, which uses seccomp-bpf under the hood. So I was quite excited to see in your container paper discussion of that and the interaction of Linux subsystems I do not really grok.

> … at the same time disadvantaging employees who remain loyal to their employers just kicks the can down the road …

The underlying assumption that people only leave companies because they are not "loyal"

People get fired, people get mobbed out of teams, company cultures change, companies fail in management. employees lives change, people need to move to other countries.

The whole notion about "loyalty" almost appears action-movie-like. "ARE YOU WITH ME? HELL YEA!"

It's already hard enough to convince highly skilled people to join companies vs founding their own. No need to further decrease the upside compared to being a founder.
I'm not a high-status authority and I was still able to connect emotionally to the human ones. Or, at the very least, each line contributed to a consistent mental picture or idea.
Hmm, well I was able to correctly identify every single sonnet. The machine generated ones I would read and think "What the heck was that poem about? It just rambled on about random things" whereas the human ones you could tell that all the verses were interconnected.

Take Sonnet #6 for example. You can tell there is intelligence behind the sentences being written. Each line builds on the line before it. Compare to sonnet #5 which rambles on about nothing and uses duplicate words (then comes a small bright spark comes)...

"I'm in a state whose economy is mostly manufacturing-based and I've wondered why there aren't more startups here because it would be so much cheaper even if you were in the state capital."

What has the state done to attract startups? Do they still enforce non-competes? Do they have well funded schools focused on tech? And, quite frankly, does your state have something that makes people actually want to live there?
Cities using TV franchises to block competition and extract tithes is a huge part of the problem. Verizon wanted to wire up Baltimore with FiOS. Baltimore refused to give them a TV license. The economics of FiOS don't really work out without TV service, so nobody got FiOS except a few luxury buildings that were easy to wire up.
Because when humans do, there is an obvious (sometimes less obvious, but present) reason to do so.

There is no such link made in this example between the usages.
Even if this isn't the final release, I'm confused why they would include version numbers in the package name at all. One of the reasons of having a package manager in the first place is to avoid things like this.

? Most all half-decent SSDs can saturate a 6Gbps SATA link either direction; that's why they're moving to PCIe.

Also, 1920x1080x60x24 is just under 3Gbps; where are you getting 4.46?

And even if you wanted to record compressed video, you'd almost certainly get better quality feeding it through other HW encoders if you didn't want to spend CPU time on it.
I think it would be nice to see some sort distributed issue tracker as a "first class" option. If Github's issue tracker could support optionally storing its data as branchable artifacts in git, that would be a nice to have for some projects. Especially if you can keep the general simplicity of the existing PR and Issue Tracker are so that people new to a project can still relatively easily contribute directly from the web.
There are new platform targets that cover the common functionality. Support in NuGet is a bit nascent though.

Purely subjective and observational... but I had a few MS guys go out of their way to communicate a bug in probably the most popular node.js driver for MS-SQL (tedious), and it was interesting... There wasn't as much updated on the Github issue, but I was included in on some of the communication issues, and they were pretty open about it.

The person that had poked in was iirc, and Azure developer in MS, not from the MS-SQL team. There are plenty of developers at MS that do follow various GH projects (as happens everywhere else) and will get the right people involved when they see things.

I would presume that by pushing these kinds of projects (.Net Core, etc) out to github, and even the documentation likely won't see things close off any time soon, and not without losing more mindshare than Oracle has caused people to move away from Java.

Any bank that's remotely sane with regards to website security (probably rather few of them) doesn't do this at all and uses standard forms of 2FA. This one doesn't even protect against keyloggers, because they can combine the characters from multiple logins to get the full password (guessing the remaining ones if necessary) and because the password might be reused somewhere else, and they try this at the expense of user convenience (counting characters is annoying) and security in the event of a leak involving password hashes (if they hashed them at all).
