If p_n assigned a positive exponent to any prime c while p_m assigned c a zero exponent, then the product of p_n would be congruent to 0 (mod c), but the product of p_m would not, and therefore the two products would not equal the same number.

This is basically just a restatement of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. See Gower's Answer 3 in his post.

vi makes me angry. This was obvious when I installed Debian on a 1999-era iMac and had to edit (probably) x11 conf and had to use vi with JKL; instead of the arrow keys. It made me want to stab something.

After so much campaigning, it seems plain clear that the UK is actually leaching in a big way from the EU. The UK is a sore player, only wanting to take part when there is a clear and direct benefit, is not happy to play by the rules, always requesting special treatment, and continuously complaining of how bad we are treating them. Not a team player at all.

I am not sure if the UK is better off leaving, but we in the EU will do great getting rid of the grumpy bully.

Qt is a framework, not a library. Frameworks usually expect apps to conform to their particular way of doing things.

If one wants to use Qt as a library, I think one can ignore the moc now that lambdas can be used as slots in a signal-slot relationship. Now that the standard C++ lib is high quality on most platforms, one could also ignore the threads/containers.
That's what I'm getting at though, there is clearly a market for consumer ready devices that don't cost what solutions like that do and don't need a contractor to install them. I mean you can't tell me that in today's world we couldn't manufacture an outlet with electronic control of the flow of current out of it's outlets, and do it in such a way that uses proper SSL and endpoints, without having to price it so high? I don't believe it.
One of the projects that I worked on failed miserably because the leads drank so much OOP kool-aide that they just couldn't conceive of table-oriented techniques when needed.

Updated Requirements dictate that we need to add a field? Just spend a few days adding the same field to 20 different classes and converters!

UI team asks that our REST APIs allow them to filter fields? One of the lead's head exploded because he couldn't conceive how to do that without strongly-typed objects.

I've got $300 headphones I use with my iPhone. They sound exceptionally better (especially with an amp) than shit earbuds it comes with. Even if Apple traded the analog for a digital connection, I'm pretty certain I wouldn't notice a meaningful difference in day to day use.

Now I'm sure if I sat down with the express goal of proving they're different I could convince myself they are but I doubt it.
Assange is not currently charged with a crime, but there are a few reasons not to give weight to that.

First, there are claims of a sealed indictment. Second, Dianne Feinstein and other similarly influential people have called for charges. And third, they have reason to delay those charges: laying them now would make extradition harder, as compared to extraditing for a subpoena and then bringing charges.

The result is that he's not charged (which could make things like grounding planes harder) but I don't know anyone who seriously believes he wouldn't be charged if he showed up in the US tomorrow.

Land mines are awful and we should absolutely do something about them. But it makes precisely no sense at all to say "no one should bother to think about AI safety because land mines are awful". You might as well say "no one should bother to think about land mines because cancer is awful" or "no one should bother to think about cancer because aging is awful".

One problem isn't nonexistent or irrelevant just because there's another problem that you regard as worse or more urgent. It's not even like solving the problems of AI safety requires the same kinds of people or the same kinds of resources as solving the problems of land mines; if you tell people not to think about AI safety it's not really going to make them go away and solve the land mine problem.

If I want to write a cross-platform GUI application supporting a single introspection, threading model and signals/slots mechanism for all members, then I'm asking for a jungle, not a banana. What parts of Qt would one want to split out and use separately? C++ stdlib collections not thread safe by default and cannot be used as drop-in replacements for Qt's collections. Qt's collections are designed specifically to work nicely inside its general framework, but would come at a speed cost used naively in some other sort of project. Also keep in mind that Qt is much older than C++11 and is just now switching to the standard library for its backend where possible. You can still use a non-c++11 compliant compiler with Qt 5.6 and utilize QThreads.

It reminds me of the argument that systemd is problematic because it's too big and complex. Well, sometimes it makes sense to write a complex system for the sake of ensuring that many complex components interoperate with ease, and system-wide changes can be coordinated between the libraries.
You can also use a Fidiuciary Licence Agreement, like for example KDE: https://ev.kde.org/rules/fla.php
I think you missed the if clause:

> If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version",

I'm no lawyer, but I think the source has to mention that explicitly. So it's not true of ALL gpl projects. In this case though you are right because nano, it appears, specifies it's license as:

> License: GNU General Public License v3 or later

So, while true in this case it's not always true (see Linux kernel license, GPLv2, no upgrade).

At first I was kinda surprised at your comment (not even sure why, maybe because it lacked snark...), but then I realised it is a prime example of how our (techies) work actually affects lives, experiences etc, something we often forget.

I like "messages" as "non-command" things. And I left out inheritance in the first Smalltalk because I didn't think Simula's version was semantic enough (and still don't).

The idea of a "generalization" from which you can get instances is good. Now the question -- then and now -- is how can you define the "generalization". We didn't do it well back then, and I don't know of a system that does this well enough today.
[I am not a lawyer. I've written and signed and worked under many contracts where the details of copyright are critical to the transaction]

The US and some other jurisdictions use common law. It may be the case that common law is a subset of common sense intended to deal with issues of scale and perpetuity. It may not. Even among common law jurisdictions, copyright laws vary.

In the US, the default stance is that the author of a work owns the copyright. Hence, without explicit reassignment, contributing does not transfer copyright. As an aside, in the US, copyright does not transfer just because money changes hands either [though it generally does in cases of statutory employment].
I think you're talking about Oregon ballot measure 5 in 1990, which reduced public school funding. This eliminated the TAG program which would send TAG students to different schools part time. From what I understand, TAG still exists, and the legal mandate still exists, but you have to push for it and know how to play the system.

Well, if it's a project with lots of contributors, any one of them can sue¹. If no contributor can be identified, it's probably unenforceable, yes, though IANAL.

That is your point, not mine. I'm saying that you're focusing on the wrong part of the equation. Imagine a machine with two variables that you have influence over, calibration error and runtime. You are suggesting short runtimes in order to minimize the impact of calibration error, I'm suggesting recalibration.

I'd love to hear an extreme for "Live and let live", but I'm guessing that whatever scenario you can imagine is based on a faulty premise like "How can we wreak revenge without a death penalty?!".

I think you are severely mis-identifying the issues that might cause demand for local / raw honey. :)

For a start, you have the general "from farm to table" / locally sourced / organic trends that are on the up-stream (this is often are pure marketing, of course).

In honey's case, however, there are many strong additional factors:

- Many stories about fake honey flooding in from unscrupulous producers. There was plenty of stories about that in the United States a few years ago (some exaggerated, but then there's stories like this: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-09-19/how-german...). This in my opinion is actually a legitimate reason to stick local (at least until this can be controlled). Why spend $4.50/lb to get "honey" that might be some potentially adulterated crap where you can go to a local producer, spend $9/lb, and get the genuine deal?

- Greater varieties. Local producers tend to offer quite a bit more variety of honey flavors. Typically stores only offer a few, mostly lighter flavors of honey, with clover dominating the marketplace.

- "Raw foods" movements. There are a lot of claims about raw honey that probably aren't very true, but they probably drive additional demand. I do think there is a slight taste difference at least between unpasteurized / unfiltered honey and its pasteurized, filtered product (the former tending to be a bit richer).

I personally don't see the demand for raw honey being so huge that it's causing that massive of a demand (at least in the US). Elsewise, the price would probably go up more. As it is, the cheapest raw honey (your clovers and orange blossoms etc.) is only roughly twice the price of standard clover honey. A $9 / pound good is not exactly the strongest "luxury good" to make an entitlement rant over. :)
If your licence is GPLv2 only (like for example the linux kernel), there is NO upgrade path.
I hate to admit it, but that's more or less why I do as well. It's not that I don't get ViM, it's just that I don't like it. I have TRIED to force myself to use it. Something about that long reach for the Esc key? I don't know what it is really, but I just never felt comfortable using it. Emacs is such a huge monster of a program. 90% of what it does I never touch. Most of the time I just need to edit a conf file and move on. Being a sysadmin my needs are very few in a text editor.
So by his logic, if I don't want people to know I'm seeing a therapist therefore I shouldn't be going to a therapist? Seriously, dude needs to kindly stuff it. Sorry for the snark, but it really annoys me when I see that "if you've done nothing wrong then you have no reason to hide" meme repeated.

I absolutely agree with his take on this; and I've echoed a similar sentiment in my comment history.

The advertisers who advertise on TV are the biggest, slowest, oldest companies. They're largely just interested in "brand advertising" and they don't understand how to properly do digital advertising.

TV money is absolutely going away -- the future of TV is commercial-free subscription VOD (like Netflix). But we haven't replaced TV with anything that the marketing managers at these companies know how to measure and report on. For all its faults, the cause-effect relationship in TV advertising is well-understood. That's not the case for digital, so advertisers aren't as comfortable spending $300 million on digital ad spend. They don't believe that they have to change the balance of media buys and creatives; it's been an invaluable rule their whole career so why change it now?

The big question is "What does TV advertising get replaced with?" I'm not sure digital is the answer; and I think the need for traditional advertising somewhat disappears along with their use cases. As we start to rely more and more on AI to make decisions for us, promoting one product versus another in AI applications will become a new form of advertising (which is why Google is all-in on AI).

But we don't know what form those products will take because the market hasn't taken shape yet. The next 5 years will be really interesting on the AI front with regards to advertising.
"Every revolution, he argued, is indeed an impressive visual spectacle. Although we usually assume that visual representations of a revolution happen later, after the events have already taken place, Kurekhin argued that revolutions are simply too spectacular to happen on their own. Some- one “first [has] to visualize certain images and later attempt to reproduce them in reality.” During a recent visit to Mexico, he continued, he had seen frescos that depicted the Mexican revolution of the early twentieth century in a style identical to the one used for the Russian Bolshevik revo- lution: “the same exhausted people, armed with primitive tools of labor, overthrowing some rulers.”

In order for revolutionary leaders in both places to have imagined these events in a similar manner, their minds must surely have been sub- jected to similar influences. In Mexico, the source of influence is clear. During ritualistic ceremonies, Kurekhin explained, the native peoples routinely used drinks prepared from Lophophora Williamsii or peyote— a Mexican cactus with strong psychotropic properties.2 Although Mexican cacti do not grow in Russia, Kurekhin noted, Russian forests do have an abundance of similar hallucinogens: mushrooms, most prominently the fly agaric mushroom (mukhomor).3 These mushrooms, he claimed, induce the same effects as the Mexican cacti: “people see absolutely incredible pictures very vividly and colorfully” and “enormous scenes of great events and revolutions fly before your eyes.”

Building on this premise, Kurekhin began to formulate his famous thesis: “Reading the correspondence between [Vladimir] Lenin and [Iosif] Stalin I came across one phrase: ‘Yesterday I ate too many mush- rooms, but I felt great.’” Bolshevik leaders ate a lot of mushrooms, Kure- khin mused, and some of them surely had hallucinogenic properties. If consumed for many years, these mushrooms can permanently change an individual’s personality. Indeed, Kurekhin continued in an unwaver- ing scholarly tone, “I have absolutely irrefutable proof that the October revolution was carried out by people who had been consuming certain mushrooms for many years. And these mushrooms, in the process of be- ing consumed by these people, had displaced their personalities. These people were turning into mushrooms. In other words, I simply want to say that Lenin was a mushroom.”

Hi. I have Type 2 diabetes and PCOS. 3 months of a ketogenic diet lowered my A1c from 6.8 ("you have diabetes") to 5.6 ("normal range"). I've also lost 25 lbs in that 3 months without feeling hungry or deprived.

I use to crave carbs, and would wind up binging on them. Now most of them do not even register as 'food' to my brain. However, on days when I eat maybe a few too many berries instead of sticking to green veggies, I can feel those cravings trying to come back. We're talking an amount that maybe pushes my daily net carb intake to the 50-60g range instead of the 20-30g range, not something that would push me over 100g. A ketogenic diet is definitely best for my health. I would rather eat a ketogenic diet than suffer the eventual consequences of diabetes - blindness, amputation, dialysis, and death.
State machines don't have to operate on the byte level because the tables can use equivalency classes. This will often result in smaller and faster state machines than byte-level state machines, if your language uses Unicode character classes here and there.

There are literally dozens of sites you can buy cell jammers from, pay with PayPal and get it in the mail a few weeks later. The mail is really not checked for this kind of violation very often.

Who are you going to sue if I order a cell jammer from a China or Hong Kong based company and your own governmental postal service delivers it to me? How about if it's just a crappy or malfunctioning device that leaks and I have no knowledge of it?

Because space mining doesn't makes much sense unless you also manufacture things in space.

Even at 100 times less cost per KG into orbit it would still be too expensive even for the rarest of elements.

And even if you have a 0$ per kg cost to orbit launch system you still need to find an economical way of getting things down to earth which is even a bigger problem than launching your mining equipment and personnel in the first place.
I'm wondering why there's no table-based computer language, is there? We have string-based, functional, list-based, object-based. Why not one where conditionals, even arithmetic is a table lookup? Could execute terrifically fast if tables were small enough to fit into memory.
Oh, that's fine.

Right, but the UTF-16 is read code point by code point, not code unit by code unit. At that point, it might as well be UTF-8 or UTF-32.
Agreed, we leave that behind - for those people for whom it's important, they either need to buy a powerbank/charger with two USB-C connections, with chaining enabled or, as you indicated, use a Y-Splitter.

I wonder if Apple already knows what % of their users listen and recharge at the same time. If it's a small percentage, Apple has always been willing to leave behind that use case, in pursuit of a "purer" product.

I just wish the pure product used a universal standard.
Because you might make it big? Seriously though, I just left Seattle after 7 years to move to Madison, WI, for a very interesting opportunity to work on some cool virtualization and orchestration tech. My current company is great, but it's largely a coincidence that it's based in Madison, WI (most of the leadership is on the West Coast). While I'm grateful to be working on something cool right now, I'm painfully aware that there isn't anything else in Madison after my time with my current company is up. Hopefully that's a while, but, software being software, the nature of engineering is very project based. We work in an exceptionally stable industry, but the companies within that industry are not stable at all. I'm definitely getting a strong sense of why someone would want to live near a tech epicenter now that I've left one.
