Nice. They got Hick's law...that's one of my favorites, not so much in development, but sports. I train Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and I find substantial improvement in my reaction time by having only 2-3 well-worn options at my disposal (even 3 starts to feel crowded) in an given position, rather than a multitude of counters/attacks. When someone is trying to strangle you, go left or right is often a better choice than let's-check-the-mental-database-for-the-ultimate-move.
I do not believe for a second that either Blair or Bush actually believed in those mythical weapons of mass destruction or Iraq's capability or intention to use them.

I sometimes wonder if the WMD excuse was made up to convince the public to go along or to cover their butts later on. In Europe, as far as I remember, hardly anyone believed that excuse. Accept for Angela Merkel who travelled to Washington just to tell Bush that she would join the invasion without hesitation if she was chancellor.
Physicists have access to this if they combine the arXiv with Scirate.

Very few choose to, and very little discussion actually happens. There is something of a chicken-or-egg problem, but the site is sufficiently established in one community (quantum info) that if folks wanted to discuss papers they could. So I take it as weak evidence that they just don't have the incentives to do so.

If a central discussion forum were anointed as the One True Forum, I weakly predict physicists would spend time defending themselves from "drive-by criticism" (i.e., criticism that is vague and takes little thought, but consumes large resources to defend against) but little constructive would get done.
The Unmapped Places of OpenStreetMap
A couple things to keep in mind:

Andromeda is so big that to see it, you're looking through a large portion of the Milky Way. Some of the really bright looking stars in this picture are actually in the Milky Way.

There is a ton of space between stars, but they're also not completely flat. It's less like a sheet of paper and more like a thick pancake.

So-called "empty" space isn't empty. Some of it is mostly just a vacuum, but lots of empty space is filled with gas which is glowing due to latent light/heat/radiation. In that regard, parts of this picture are glowing similarly to shining a flashlight in fog.

Even if you managed to zoom in close enough to an empty spot between stars in our galaxy, which also was an empty spot between the stars and gas in Andromeda, you would still start seeing the distant galaxies far beyond Andromeda. The Hubble Deep Field [1] is a good demonstration of this effect. They pointed the Hubble at a previously thought "empty" region of space and held it there for about 10 days. After gathering all the received photons collected over that time into a single image they realized that even "empty" space is full of a lot of stuff if you look far enough out.

Why not just use ASCII 31/30 instead of comma/new line. Just give it a new name like ASV (ASCII separated values). What would take to give glyphs to those characters? Just add them to some font?
Yes, but that's because the Go GC doesn't compact, and nobody quotes throughput numbers. Building a slow GC that leaves the heap fragmented but has short pauses is not that difficult indeed, the tricky part starts when you wish to combine all these things together.
No, it's already been done and part of the reason the report took so long.

"But the main reason for the delay was the long tussle between the inquiry and the government over which classified material could be published alongside the report, or referred to in it." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36024725

WOW the guy who wrote that is kind of a dick. I am not surprised that he was outwitted by a teenager. The assumptions he makes about the evil teenage hacker sound like they come from someone who has NO idea of the real reasons people young and not so young get pulled into this culture.
Ontology: A Tree or a Forest – What Do You Need?
I've tried in the past. The UX/UI is very dated. I wish Little Snitch implemented something like this as it has all the building blocks.
Yes, but HotSpot G1 is meant to be usable with only a single knob too (target pause time). Other knobs do exist, but only for unusual cases where you want to precisely control the GC's operation to work around some bad app/gc interaction, for instance. And Go lacking such knobs is probably not really a feature: it's not like the Java guys set out from the start saying "we will build a complicated and hard to configure GC". It's just that as you work through more and more customer cases, these knobs become valuable for the hard ones.
Max Hastings makes the point in his book on intelligence in WW2 (The Secret War: Spies, Codes and Guerrillas 1939-1945) that intelligence agencies always tell their political masters what they want to hear - this happens in democracies and totalitarian regimes.

It was presumably clear to those in MI6 that Blair had already decided to go to war, so what would have been in it for them to try and persuade him otherwise? Probably an early retirement at best.
It is a "win" condition for them. A "win-win" setup could be nice, but it doesn't mean that such result is possible or feasible, and in the absence of solid, realistic "win-win" proposals this is the best option for them.
Three Ways Artificial Intelligence Is Being Applied to Creative Fields
I my case it's more a philosophical issue. I feel fairly uncomfortable working under those regulations (to the point of contemplating quitting an otherwise very interesting job every now and then) because I have a problem with unconditionally delegating my personal decision making to some elites that "know best what's good for me" without a chance to conditionally opt out. I do understand the general concerns and that some middle ground is needed to fight abuse but personally I favor hefty fines for employers that abusing the system and good whistle blower laws/infrastructure.

I think some of this could be solved with different regulations for different kinds of jobs. More "thinky" jobs probably need a lot less regulation than say manual labor.
Your comment directly complained about bicycles using an array of tired excuses. I would encourage you to visit a city where bicycle commuting works really well to get a different perspective.

As for the bay area, I was making the point that even in one of the most optimal set of conditions in the country we still ignore biking which works well in other countries because we seem to be culturally blind. Instead we pursue techno-fantasy when we should really just be buying everyone a $300 bike and putting bike lanes everywhere.

We should also build subways and trains and use buses and all the other things, but we can't even seem to get anyone to take bicycles seriously.
After 5min of introduction video I had to stop. Guy explains why he started loki. Hi didn't want to use sqlite in cordova app, so he created loki. Did he heard about localStorage or indexeddb? Probably not.

Because these types of problems never occur when you are running on bare metal?

In fact it is worse: typically you are resource constrained as the budget cycle to buy new hardware doesn't start up till next quarter so you literally don't have another machine to run on so you are screwed.

That isn't to say that AWS is without fault, but I find most comments about unresponsiveness of systems or the inabaility to find a route cause (i.e. A bad disk) would happen anyway with another system designed in the same fashion.
It really wasn't misleading.
I think if you want to see the show you have to get on the road i.e. the future is happening in places like China.

The difficulty of quitting varies a lot from person to person. I knew a couple back in the nineties, where one partner was able to quit using the patch. It just worked for him, and was reportedly not that difficult. He was done with tobacco immediately, and done with nicotine entirely within the month.

The other partner tried everything. Cold turkey, gradual reduction, patches, gum, change of location plus each of those, the works. As you can imagine given the domestic situation, she had exactly the right kind of support. None of it helped for over a decade. She was finally able to quit for good around 2010, and just a month later discovered that it was too late. Smoking had already given her the cancer that would end her life.

That said, this story kind of agrees with you. The partner who quit is still alive, and quite healthy. It might be easy, or it might be the hardest thing you've ever done. No matter how hard it is, though, lung cancer is even harder.
You could argue that public property should be usable by the public in any legal way as they see fit; however, city ordnances often do prohibit sleeping in public places, so using a bench for sleeping is not a permitted use no matter how it's designed.
I am bit annoyed at these feel-goody "minimalism" articles, almost always inevitably written by some rich kid, who, if they were to live their preachy minimalism, could at moments notice buy the thing they need in that moment.

For everyone else on this planet for whom financial security is not a given, it makes sense to keep more things around than needed in a given instance.

So yeah, if you want to declutter your life, go ahead. But don't think that your newly discovered boring lifestyle choices are somehow so good that everyone else needs to make them as well.

Especially if the depth of it is "have and do less things, I promise it will make you happy".
Hi! I really think what you are doing here is great and I hope you will succeed!

Is there a way to test the platform without creating to much garbage? Like a sandbox version maybe?
The words are negative ("anti-", "hostile", etc.), and that seems gives the article a slight bias against these things, but overall it seems to be mostly trying to call attention to these things. For example, the concluding remarks:

> Whether handed down by the establishment or created in response to official interventions, there is always an aspect of coercion to design. Usability design, for instance, is used to get people to buy things and use their smartphones in certain ways, often without the user even being aware of it. Fundamentally, works of unpleasant design, hostile architecture and street furniture in general are no different.

> The reason we need a critical theory of unpleasant design is so we can recognize the coercion that is taking place in our public spaces. We need to know when we are replacing human interaction, nuance and empathy with hard, physical and non-negotiable solutions.

> Whether you think a certain form of design is exclusionary but serves a greater good, or believe it is just hostile and offensive, it is important to be aware of the decisions that are being made for you. Designs that are unpleasant to some are put into place to make things more pleasant for others, and that latter category might just include you.

They mostly seem to be against the public being coerced unknowingly. For example, many people might think the purpose of segmenting a bench with arm rests is for the seater's convenience/comfort, or that 'leaning benches' are just a way to save on materials cost. Regardless of whether public opinion agrees or disagrees with the main reasons for these trends (e.g. anti-sleeping), we can't know what that opinion is until these reasons are commonly known.

Why you should think about Object Storage
Pretty stupid to use a new domain in the first place. A sub domain (ex: hxxp://setup.tplink.com) would be more trustworthy and doesn't have the pesky renewal issue.
Everything is open-sourced, and we've tried to document as much as possible to make it easy for people to host their own instances! Alternatively, you can just create arbitrarily many drafts without publishing any of them.

I think that not using Erlang in this particular case was a mistake. Erlang is running some of the largest chats out there, including League of Legends and WhatsApp. They would have avoided all the hassle of GC pauses, since Erlang has per-process GC collection. And scaling single OS process to their number of connections was done for Erlang machines years ago.
I'm always surprised that the CANDU[1] reactor isn't more popular, as you don't require uranium enrichment, can use a mix of fuels, and has a number of fail-safes that work without power -- such as gravity-dropped control rods into the low pressure chamber, and requiring the moderator (deuterium in the original models) to be present to maintain a reaction.

The truly scary thing about the likes of Blair is that they can choose what they earnestly believe in to suit what is politically expedient.
Are you really using the outcomes of a decision by elected officials as a counter-example to the theory of homelessness as societal shortcomings?
Especially as decluttering doesn't automatically make you happy (in the long term). Like buying stuff doesn't make you happy/unhappy as well.

These "do as I say" because "I am the norm" types pf postings are such a drag. A sample of size 1 doesn't have any valid information in it. It is an anecdote - and nothing more. To infer from that is BS imho.
I saw this a month or two ago and submitted a pull request that I still need to fix up to have it accepted. My original intention was to benchmark a bit against SBCL, but I got sidetracked with the pull request, then lost time and then forgot about it. I need to get back to it and see about getting it submitted.

Anyway, it sounds neat, but even after playing with it a bit, I'm not sure how necessary it is.

SBCL (and supposedly the commercial Common Lisps) are pretty fast nowadays. Not C fast, but I can usually get about 1/2 - 1/3 C speed and 4-8x faster than Python without doing anything special.

For example, I made an animation app (https://github.com/jl2/qt-fft-viz) that reads an MP3 and generates an animation while it plays back, and I get 90+ fps. It's not a big graphics/CPU intense video game, but it's doing a lot of FFT calculations and some basic graphics.

So, not to diminish the Carp project, but I think regular old Common Lisp is faster than most people think, is better supported, has more libraries, and works on more platforms and operating systems.

Why do people sleep on benches instead of shelters? When you look at a typical homeless person nest, it is arranged to protect them from theft and violence. It's either in a well populated place, usually with middle class people who will report violence, or where they can hear people coming, has good visibility, a corner for their back, etc.

When you look at a typical homeless shelter, it has bunks or cots, no security, people with no reason to report violence, and it's full of desperate homeless people with addictions and erratic mental illness. They don't want to be around each other because they know it's dangerous. Why would you go to a shelter unless you were looking for trouble? It's full of predators.

Charitable organizations don't give homeless people privacy for fear of the human things they will do, like drink, use drugs, have sex, etc. The street or a park provides relative privacy and freedom, within walking distance of services.

Given most homeless people are men, the solutions are more likely to involve providing basic physical privacy and security than comfort or sympathy.

Hi!

I use RealtimeBoard https://realtimeboard.com/ , which is probably the best on the market so far. We decided to search for a whiteboard about a year ago when 3 remote designers and developers joined our team.

It was absolutely unproductive to share whiteboard pics via Skype or discuss prototypes in the email thread. We tried several tools, but RtB's price and UI were the best, so we subscribed. And now I'm so impressed with all the latest improvements in the product.

They put some magic into their sticky notes and integrated Rtb with Google Drive, Slack and JIRA. Our designer is still missing some features but RtB's super-caring Customer Support ensured they could be released soon!

Hope it will help. Because it is helping me.
But that is the whole point - the "society" intentionally wants to exclude certain activities and people, and thus makes systems, laws and also physical items and environment to make that desire happen.

Blue light in e.g. macdonalds bathrooms is not actually intended to influence how people inject their drugs, it's intended to make so that the people who want to inject their drugs don't come there, to exclude them from their community. A safe injecting room would not solve that, I'd rather argue that the blue lights are a cheaper solution doing the same job as e.g. face control and bouncers throwing people out from some other types of estabilishments.

MySQL for Analytical Reporting: Pros and Cons
Yeah, I think choo is definitely a framework - it has opinions on how views are nested (router), UI is glued to logic (message bus); how logic is structured (models / namespaces), and provides hooks to inspect the whole thing.

Perhaps the word framework has gotten a bit of a negative connotation over the past years, but I think by the sheer scope of the project, choo definitely qualifies as one.

__edit:__ though, as you note, internally it's a bunch of glue code between standalone packages - they could definitely be mixed and matched - the interface level also leaves a lot of room; we try to only have opinions where we deem them necessary
You are right. Should have fact checked that before posting.
How to improve your Ad Conversion – free ebook

So I'm very interested in going beyond PDFs, but I can't for the life of me figure out what PubPub intends to do. I get that there's an online collaboration engine, as is offered by many places like Authorea, ShareLaTeX, Overleaf, and FindusWriter. What does PubPub do differently here?
I'm actually not stretching it, I was demonstrating that your limitations either exclude humans or include animals.

What your limitations seem to ignore is that not only does most of our day-to-day behaviour fall under what you consider instinctive, but also that you seem to be ignoring the fact that many animals communicate in languages you might not necessarily be able to understand (Dogs, for example, communicate mostly in body language, looks, etc.).

Can you state an example of a complex thought? I can think of a fair amount of thoughts I would use to denote intelligence that would fall under what you consider 'instinctual'.

Thinking being a flux of information, and EE telecom theory having discovered all kinds of laws about flow of information, its no surprised that those models apply pretty well to the engineering tradeoffs of general mental models of thinking or thinking about information in other contexts.

EE control theory class IS an entire senior year class on applying a model to something (a thermostat?) which isn't terribly hard, and then modeling and measuring its performance and finally optimizing the model which is pretty hard.

Shannons law explains how good ideas, noise/distraction/bad ideas, depth of concentration or maybe total volume of information, and rate of mistakes all interrelate and how changing one (or several) will affect the others in general.

There are some interesting tradeoffs in communication filter design (analog hardware or modeled in DSP) along the lines of you can freely trade smoothness in response (group delay, ripple, latency, monotonicity kinda), accuracy in response, and complexity/cost. These tradeoffs apply to everything in the world that processes things not just filter synthesis.

There is some kind of chaos theory "thing" where as feedback mechanisms become more complicated, oscillation becomes inevitable and unpredictable. Doesn't matter if we're talking about high gain amplifier design or world economic models.

This is aside from the general engineering mental models of a good engineer can freely exchange cost, reliability/safety, and performance. In fact it being enormously easier to exchange in those rather than expand, you can pretty much see thru transparent marketing that only mentions one or some factors. This applies to all of reality not mere structural engineering.

I think the optics people could say a lot about their seemingly endless stable of aberrations. There are so many effects and interactions its surprising anything optical works at all, much less works well. Optics is almost a meta law that everything interacts with everything and constants aren't.
I don't see how it can be a negative. The availability of multiple vendors has given us commercial solutions tuned for particular needs.

For example Azul's C4 garbage collector which they claim is pauseless: https://www.azul.com/resources/azul-technology/azul-c4-garba... ; a pauseless GC is great if you want to tackle real-time systems. For real-time systems actually most garbage collected platforms are unsuitable.

But even more problematic is that stop-the-world latency is directly proportional to the size of the heap memory and today's mainstream garbage collectors cannot cope with more than 4 GB of heap memory without introducing serious latency that's measured in seconds. Think about that for a second - with most GC implementations you cannot have a process that can use 20 GB of RAM, which is pretty cheap these days btw. So keeping a lot of data in memory, like databases are doing, is not feasible with a garbage collector.
