Very interesting, and the kind of technical aspect I tried to avoid by not refuting "face-on" since I don't feel qualified to answer this without looking into it further :)

Still, if there are reasons to allow uncomputable numbers as elements of a quantum theory, that still doesn't invalidate the larger point that any predictions of those theories are computable; it's just a constraint on which axiom scheme we follow when manipulating our equations.

Again, even if a theory involves uncountable sets, it may still have countable models (following either Skolem's "paradox", or a similar argument; since QM operates at much higher level than formal systems, I'm not sure if it's first-order, second-order, higher-order, etc.).
Is there a good reason GitHub doesn't support (issue) "moderator" roles instead of "contributors", which also gives write access? So much could be solved with better moderation tools.
This is really interesting. There's a lot of functionality I didn't know I had on my phone.

A small typo I noticed is under "Device Control", an option is "Turn on/off Flaslight" rather than "Flashlight"

I've been thinking about the same thing. The window manager needs to be built into the OS, really. I think we'll see something built into Android for this soon -(standard 2d app surfaces in a 3D360 VR environment).

I'm not sure the current display tech is that good for your eyes/brain to be staring at it 8 hours a day, never mind the current screen resolution. But eventually it will be, and using something like this will enable you to work anywhere without having to carry large screens with you.
It depends on your strategy for dealing with endpoint security and why the security folks are demanding it. Usually these requirements are driven by external compliance or some zealous security guy reading NIST docs without context.

For UNIX, try to get ClamAV through or buy whatever solution is cheapest. IIRC, McAfee worked in the most platforms, including AIX.

For Windows, Microsoft stuff (Windows Defender and the "Enterprise" equivalent baked into SCCM) have the lowest impact on the system... But are pretty "meh" solutions. But even the best AV is pretty meh.

Personally, and coming from alot of experience managing lots of computers (or people doing the management), I would recommend running the cheap/free Microsoft AV to check the box and do the following: force users to run without privilege, disallow internet access from privileged accounts, use an application whitelisting solution, use a good proxy/anti malware solution like Palo Alto or zScaler.

The whole point of this stuff isn't to stop threats -- that's a game you always lose. You want layered protection that stops what it can, helps prevent lateral movement and increases the probability of detecting a compromise.

This sentence could be misleading if you are not familiar with precedent in the US court system. It's important to note that this is just a decision at the lowest level federal court. There is no guarantee that any judge, including another case in the same district court, will apply the same standard.
The idea is nice, but the implementation is really bad. It makes no sense at all to mix CPU control with the hierarchical structure of a DOM tree. Hierarchically different parts of a webpage may use the same (CPU) resources.
They prefer to implement their password strength measurement server side for some reason.

Maybe they don't want to make it public by doing it it JavaScript.

Or they want to disallow reusing previous passwords, without leaking them to the client.
The NYT article this WAPO piece is largely based on is much more in-depth:

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/19/business/at-zappos-selling...
Two clarifications: the disks were not "unavailable", they had high latency (slow I/O) in one zone only (us-central1-a); and this affected only SSD PDs, not "regular" PDs. Per the SLA [1], it's "downtime" when PDs are completely unavailable for >5 minutes in at least two zones, and neither condition was met here.

[1] https://cloud.google.com/compute/sla

All that said, people choose SSD because it's faster and has higher throughput, so SSDs not being fast is obviously a real problem for applications relying on this, and rest assured we are indeed doing whatever we can to avoid this in the future.

Disclaimer: I work in Google Cloud Support.
Both use cases could justify calling an API at every keystroke, where you send out either the user's identifier in the one case (to extract the timing info), or the password(-prefix) in the other (to check for typing errors). Linking together these two is where it becomes especially dangerous.
Why didn't you tell them that you wouldn't take the job if they couldn't present you with the paperwork that they would be requiring you to sign?

Blogspot is older (and/or maybe put more thought into it early on - a blogging platform is naturally a speech medium whereas YouTube may not have thought of itself in the same terms), country-level firewalls are a lot more sophisticated these days.

Do you want to start wrapping your system calls to read files in code that forks to periodically check for a hung system call?
yes I agree - nice to have the option of either rather than being trapped.
Three Ways to Build an Artificial Kidney
As someone who have to deal with crappy proprietary software for some of my work, all I can say is that with open source at least I can fix a problem or implement a feature that is lacking - instead of bang my head on the wall waiting for the good will of the vendor (even when I want to pay well for a hotfix).
There might be a case for it, the whole gag order regime is pretty sketchy constitutionally if you ask me (not a lawyer). You could violate the law, go to court, spend lots of on laywers, and maybe win eventually. The cost of losing would be high to your company, heck the cost of winning would be pretty high too. Few companies are interested in taking on this risk.

One month, sure :D Realistically, if you have no GPU or OpenGL experience, to build something like that, lightning, shadows.. And to really understand what is happening, in one month maybe if already know C++/your language of choice well, you can grasb the idea of how to draw a triangle with maybe some lightning.

Shadows, animation, no way in a month. The whole OpenGL stack is pretty complex.

My suggestion would be the same though, but maybe reserve one year to really just grind the basics until you have a clear understanding of what is happening.

On the other hand, if you just want CUDA, there are frameworks for that for enabling parallel calculations without having to understand graphics programming.
Resolution is the reason I haven't bought one yet.

When the 'in-world' resolution can match 1920x1200 at 2ft then it will replace my 3 monitors otherwise it's a headache inducing experience.

If the technology takes off and follows the usual S-curve I think we'll have that inside 5 years.

That's where our unfair advantage comes in. We know already some companies who work on replicating what we do and they have good chances to make this happen, but...

- Our product is hard to replicate and this will take them time and give them a lot of headache. We know some companies gave up.

- We build our own competitor in the same niche right now (under different leadership but I still hold control) so we cover the first and second spot in it. They are talented and can copy us first. So if people want choice they will get that.

- We dominate the conversation and have some things in place that ensure it will stay like this.

Regardless of all this, I'm fine if we would loose the top spot because the market is growing so fast that even a smaller piece of the pie is a decent sized one and we keep the whole operation extremely lean and focused so we we will stay profitable no matter what.
Right. And it's unclear if a court would decide it was legal, if they tried to prosecute you.
From one of the linked articles:

> I’ve been a fan and customer of Freshbooks for years. They were self-funded for a very long time until recently raising a large round of funding when they had over 200 employees. I’m pretty sure Mike’s dealt with similar problems. Unfortunately I just missed a great opportunity to ask him about it.

Freshbooks was not self funded until they had over 200 employees. One of the founders' parents put in money and a very prominent CEO of a major tech company put in money and a very large financial company put in money and then they hit 200 employees.

2nd Site Inc., the previous name, was self-funded / bootstrapped(ish). But they weren't Freshbooks for very long without no longer qualifying by any stretch of the imagination as "bootstrapped" or "self-funded".

I live in rural Japan where at least half my neighbours are over 60 and retired. I work from home and often go for walks. It's amazing how nice it is to simply stroll around and chat with people. Often my neighbours will show up at my door with vegetables that they grew in their garden. We'll invite them over for dinner or drinks.

The thing that I have to remind myself is that on top of beautiful weather, gorgeous scenery and pleasant people around me, I pay next to nothing for rent. There are a lot of places in the world like this.

I think the main thing we need to work on is making telecommuting a reality for as many people as possible. Living where you work and choosing where you live is incredibly powerful. The problem is that this mode of working is difficult and there are many things to do to make it possible for most people. One day I think it will be the norm, but it might still be a way off.
It wasn't just older generations who voted to leave - the older you are the more likely you were to vote for leave but plenty (although a minority for their age group) young people voted to leave and plenty older people (again a minority) voted to stay.

NB I voted Remain.
"Clinton proposed allowing startup founders to defer student debt payment for up to three years. The deferrals would also be available to a new company’s first 10 to 20 employees."

So many things are broken about the student debt racket. At some point, I think it's maintained just so politicians can come up with stupid proposals to throw to the masses.

Reasons this is dumb:

1) The obvious: the people who are having repayment issues aren't startup employees.

2) Doesn't solve the underlying issue, which is that cheap college loan debt is fueling spiraling college costs, which absorbs any subsidy the government throws at it.

3) This also has bad effects on the labor market. It effectively makes it even cheaper for new startups to employ recent college grads. Sometimes this will manifest in more hiring; more often it will manifest in choosing cheap callow youth over experience.

4) It's probably pretty gameable.

And I just have to note: it's all-too-typical of Hillary Clinton to make a tone-deaf mistake when trying to perform what should be an easy pander.
Yeah, but what happens when the api surface of one of the modules changes? Erlang's dynamic typing, combined with its philosophy of treating crashed processes as normal, means that you can deploy the upgraded module on multiple machines without any kind of rigorous synchronization. If you want to do the same with a statically typed system you have to be able to handle the case of one module not being well typed against another. You might accomplish this by implementing transactional upgrades, but that's likely to cause a hiccup across the whole cluster, or else you could essentially define dynamically typed runtime semantics, which would lose a lot of the value of static typing.
Are there any third party performance metrics yet? Read/write ops per second, and read/write bytes per second from one or many machines?

Would love to see this in comparison to a 10Gbps (or 1Gpbs) attached spinning rust or SSD NSF drive. That would really help me understand what tradeoffs are happening here.
Most legacy apps are 2D surfaces.

Or do you mean why the 2D windows are not composited more in the 3D space (they all seem to have the same Z depth)?

Well, you would need a 3D input devices as precise as the veritable mouse, which they are using in this demo.
It wraps the F# MailboxProcessor mentioned in a comment above. A thread is only allocated when a message is processed, and then free'd up afterwards. So there's no permanent thread overhead and 100,000s can be created.

The overhead in terms of memory is the internal state of each Process + the user's Process state. To see the internal overhead, check out the member variables for the Actor class [1].

It's pretty lightweight, although could probably shave a few bytes here and there.

I'm the creator of a just-mildly popular OS project (~700 stars on GH) and I had to give up being the main maintainer. Too many "issues" were just people who couldn't debug their own code, or "issues" where the person would describe some weird edge case but be unable to provide any example code. After enough of those, and getting busy with other things, I just couldn't keep up with it.

Luckily, one of the contributors stepped up and is now the main maintainer. I still read through the issues that come in and he does a great job of responding and keeping cool. I don't know how he does it.
I'm impressed too but also dismayed by how little the average person (or even the average CS person) understands about the low level stuff. I had a top notch CS undergrad degree, but I'm only truly able to grok some of the finer points 15 years out. And that's because I'm learning to use FPGAs as a hobby.

The Internet is truly marvelous in this regard. I'm using free tutorials, documentaries and videos to satisfy my curiosity and pretty much getting an EE education. Ignoring the car pictures, the Internet gives me much hope.

> I don't think this is to do with algorithmic filtering. I really doubt Facebook is so good at sentiment analysis it can tell pro vs anti-Brexit posts and separate them out (well, maybe they can, modern neural networks seem capable of anything).

Several of my friends who've been making hateful pro-EU posts have been complaining that Facebook is suggesting hateful anti-EU pages to them, so I suspect Facebook is just detecting hateful posts about the EU rather than making a distinction between sides.
> That said, I agree they should have run in multiple zones, as recommended by Google

If you don't follow your vendor's recommendations for how to use their product, how can you blame them when that exact recommendation would have saved you?

> Google Compute Engine Persistent Disk are not supposed to fail in such a way, and I'm quite sure Google will do whatever they can to avoid this in the future

Sure. And the power to my office is not supposed to go out (and I've certainly worked in places where there has never been an unplanned power outage in decades), but if my business relies on it I need a UPS.

It's not, and they shouldn't. Also unless you know something I don't, they didn't.

There are a few things you can do to get over toxic behavior partially, but it is tough to do completely; it's a one-day-at-a-time thing.

I've been through plenty of rough spots, and the best thing to do is to take care of yourself (talk to doc or dentist about sleep apnea, lose weight through exercise, get a checkup, etc.) and change your attitude. The latter is tough, so I'll focus on that:

Many of us got into development or IT because we love technology, and we love technology because it can really help people and it can be done correctly- just humming along in the background enabling everything, or providing extremely cool things that we help create or setup. But then, you throw in people.

People are great. People manipulated silicon, germanium, copper, plastic, etc. People came up with logic, operating systems, applications, and art. People really come up with some great shit. But people also do things that are at odds with the research, development, and running of all of that beautiful tech. It doesn't matter what role they have or how smart they are, at some point, almost every person has screwed something up in the mind of someone else. They might have great motivations, too- really admirable! They might want to save costs to help the companies grow and provide jobs and a bigger paycheck for their families. They might be complete morons, but are probably doing the best they can.

In the end, it is important that we try to work with all of these people. We can't hope to fully understand motivations of people and manipulating them for our own ends is probably not a good idea. We can only do our best to work with each other to accomplish what we hope is great and do it while helping each other and everything around us.

So, what do you do? Realize how lucky you are to be where you are and have what you have. See how you could help others, whether it is in a different place in the world or right there in your workplace. Understand that it's not just about you, or the people you help, but there is something much bigger going on, and we are only a small part of it. We don't have control over everything, but we do have control over ourselves. Just do your best each and every day with the gifts you were given.
There seemed to be a lot of reports in the media from businesses and economists that Brexit would impact the economy. The reply that the Leave camp came up with seemed to be "you can't make economic predictions", while I see their point, that one cuts both ways.

On the other hand with a high resolution headset and good bandwidth, you can pair review/code review with anyone/anywhere and they see exactly what you see.

In the longer term you could create a 3D virtual office where all the screens exist in the same space and you can jump from one set to another, as a collaboration tool that would exceed a real world office in some ways since you there would be no physical limitations.

Could be incredible for online tech-talks and such as well since you wouldn't be sat 50ft from the speaker trying to read slides from a crappy OHP.

I wouldn't generalize that any deviant, avant garde self indulgent artistic work that doesn't care about its audience and doesn't care about maintaining some conformity is necessarily "unwatchable" or "unlistenable" trash.
I personally think that sometimes it's not such a pointless path, and helps push the boundaries of art, of what is accepted, and is essential in bringing new ideas forward.

It prevents everything from having the same esthetic and feel. The graphics of DF is also what makes it unique from the rest.
I didn't say all left wing people were like that, I said it's been a problem of that part of the political spectrum, with the problem getting more extreme the further left you go.

That said, I think left/right wing politics have faded into the background for now. The EU splits people outside of party lines. Lots of Labour supporters voted out, hence the self destruction of the Labour party itself right now. Lots of Tories voted in. The new ideological divide is between globalists and those who value the nation state.
