This is true, but I imagine that no company will actually use or distribute this project in any way, since it is actually illegal (however technically) for them to do so until this issue is resolved.

I somewhat disagree. They still should have the right/plight to vet the failure to replicate on quality. Without that, everyone and his dog would have publications in Nature and Science tomorrow.
Yup, the issue with Java and Ruby is not the languages, but the people using them.
Maybe you just became older. Movies, books, shows - to some extend its always the same stuff repeated over and over.

Being the most prestigious null-result journal doesn't rise to being a prestigious journal, though.

Regardless, this is the reality today. I don't think trying to boost a null-result journal to the level of Nature or Science is a better way forwards than pressuring Nature or Science (and similar caliber journals) to publish more null result works.
Just out of interest, what are your thoughts on Directory Opus?

I've not used Total Commander or Directory Opus much, but I figured DOpus was something you might be interested in.
A misleading headline for a diagnostic test with moderate sensitivity and unstated specificity.

I desperately want to believe that chronic fatigue syndrome is as simple as a microbiological imbalance and I hope that we can see some stronger proof but this is an illness that has foxed us for a long time.

From UpToDate, my current preferred summary resource (https://www.uptodate.com/contents/clinical-features-and-diag... but extortionate subscription required, sorry):

"The proposed diagnosis was chronic brucellosis from the 1930s to the 1950s and hypoglycemia from the 1950s to the 1970s. Other hypotheses have included chronic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection [11-13], purported chronic Lyme disease, total allergy syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome [14], chronic candidiasis [15], and xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) and related retroviruses, such as murine leukemia virus (MLV) [16,17]. None of these etiologic agents have been scientifically linked to the SEID/CFS."

Growth of IoT and wearables means moral dilemmas for regulators
This feels rather...primitive for a network filesystem introduced in 2016. Where are the snapshots? Where are the subvolumes? Where's the ability to send/receive volumes/subvolumes to filesystems in other availability zones? There are also I/O limits if you have a smaller filesystem with frequently accessed data, an inability to mount on machines through vpn gateways, and a lot of other seriously rough edges.

It's an interesting start to a project, but the public features feel very much lacking.

It depends how much you like reading a whole ton of X86 assembly language, with all the variable names replaced with numbers.

Something that looks like the UI code has its source included with the game, so there's some info to be gleaned there. Also, any interfaces to external libraries would be fairly easy to trace.

Still: Very difficult, due to the size of the binary (21MB), and the level of painstaking attention to detail that's necessary to reverse-engineer a program from its binary. Automatic decompilers exist, but they're fairly limited, and you'd still have the issues of meaningless variable names, even in the best case.
One flaw in your analogy is that if all you do is actually just delete code (you don't replace the code), that's not usually valuable.

It is easier to publish null results than it is to publish legitimate positive results (of course easiest of all is to publish bogus positive results). It doesn't require creativity or brilliance to publish null results, just competence (competence enough to replicate).

Of course, it is still valuable, so a thoroughly analyzed and argued negative result should be publishable in prestigious venues - but this is more a reflection of the value to the community than the actual novelty/brilliance of the work.

Put another way: a university is not going to hire you if all you've published are null results. They want leaders who are going to pioneer/discover/invent/theorize new fields.

My CEO is burning out
I'm working as a software engineer at a small 15-employee company where the atmosphere has turned really bad recently. It's not really a startup, but the structure is similar: my technical supervisor reports to the CEO and the CEO reports to the board, which is composed of stakeholders of our service.
In the past couple months, the CEO has stopped listening to the opinion of the technical team (my supervisor included) which too often contradicted the opinion of the board. The CEO is under a lot of pressure from the board to release new features.
A couple days ago I had a meeting with our CEO to plan a major development of our infrastructure. Basically, she wanted to cross-check what my technical supervisor had already told her. During the whole meeting her hands were shaking. My feeling is that she now distrusts the entire team.
She was a great leader when I joined the company a couple years ago, and I had a lot of respect for her. Now she is asking for major technical changes that make no sense at all, neither from a technical nor a business point of view -- without referring to the technical team.
I'm not a physician, but this looks like a burnout-in-progress to me. I have the possibility to quit my job, but I'd rather find another solution. Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? Should I go directly to the board?
5 Algorithms Every Web Developer Can Use and Understand
Macros in C, and template metaprogramming in C++? Some crazy people are writing their software entirely as C++ metaprograms and using the compiler to execute it. Presumably, the compiler's output is a very short `main` function that just prints the constant value that the compiler calculated.

There was an example of this on HN a while ago, where a guy wrote a Game of Life implementation entirely with C++ templates (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8597443). Successive generations were nested templates. Compile times became prohibitive after a few generations. The whole thing started to read sort of like Haskell.

I have that constant feeling of missing something with google inbox, with sufficient keyboard short cut expertise, on a good day I could handle 300-400 mails in gmail, and feel productive. With Inbox, many of those mails are well hidden, and even if I can safely discard whole bunch of mail at the same time, there were couple of instance that made me go back to gmail.
In the blog post the EFS is mounted by the EC2 instances from the start but i expected to be dynamic depending on the scheduled tasks on the instance. I dont want to couple EFS volumes which might be used by the containers if they might get scheduled on an instance. I would like to have a general purpose cluster and let the scheduler instrument the EC2 instance to mount an EFS volume if its needed by a scheduled task dynamically.
I'd be wary of correlating the increased incidence of late onset maladies with anything but people living longer.

Sure those all have causes to be discovered but all correlate with longer lifespans and better overall health and if we follow that the obvious solution would be getting back to paleolithic life and an average life expectancy of 30 years. Sure you won't get alzhaimer that way.

The paper was a meta-analysis of nine unpublished studies. While the issue of non-publication of negative results is extremely important, this should not be the test case for it.

I agree with other comments that the lack of nul-results in journals is a massive showstopper for epistemology and confidence in scientific work. In my experience during my PhD, academics were unwilling to submit nuls, they wanted to find the actual answer and publish that instead - which leads to delays of years, leaving well known and obvious errors in existing papers unchallenged in public, and potentially leading to that scientist never even submitting the nul result.

>any explanation for the downvotes?

I noticed that before on this subject: I agree with you and said that before on the subject of AV on Linux and got downvoted. Not claiming there are not viruses on Linux, just saying that, in roughly 20 years of using it, I have never seen one on my servers or workstations. So why would I sacrifice speed?

For workstations I think Linux people are more careful than others (I have no citation just personal experience). I do not need warez and if I have to browse something fishy I do that from a VM or another account; not 100% safe but a lot safer than the entire mess people seem to have on Windows boxes (incidentally it has been around 20 years since I last worked with Windows seriously too).
CRIME works because the compression/encryption algorithms aren't aware of which data is secret and which isn't. They treat the whole HTTP stream as a stream of text and operate on that. To them, text within the page is just the same as cookie data in the corresponding header field or (for example) the URI in the header.

If such a distinction were possible, the system could just not compress secret data. But if that were the case, nonsecret data wouldn't even need to be encrypted; it's nonsecret after all.

Sounds like your board is really acting as the CEO. Recommendation: squelch the board. Let the CEO do her thing and if they disagree they should vote to replace her, but they shouldn't be micromanaging the CEO. Give the woman a mandate and sit back.

"This road was sponsored by the EU" was a sign I saw in Sardinia Italy. As someone from the north of Europe this infuriated me. It's like Ukraine should give money to Russian roads. Doesn't make sense as we see them as a badly run superpower whilst a small efficient country would loose its money AND its voice.

Give us the EU we want: free trade, safety and easier migration. Don't become anything else.

Now the leftist in EU want to use tax dollars to make commercials about the benefits instead: indoctrination in it's finest.

Time for self reflection EU.

There were two particular points in the article that strongly resonated with me:

> But the problem is not confined to referendums: in an election, you may cast your vote, but you are also casting it away for the next few years. This system of delegation to an elected representative may have been necessary in the past – when communication was slow and information was limited – but it is completely out of touch with the way citizens interact with each other today.

This sounds very much like an area of human communication in need of a technological update. (And I'm not talking about using insecure/rigged voting machines at elections.) I'm not confident that more frequent referenda is the answer (a monthly Brexit/Nobrexit doesn't sound like the best idea for a number of reasons), but surely there's some way to decrease the political communication/feedback latency.

But the real insight for me was this quote from British sociologist Colin Crouch:

> public electoral debate is a tightly controlled spectacle, managed by rival teams of professionals expert in the techniques of persuasion, and considering a small range of issues selected by those teams. The mass of citizens plays a passive, quiescent part, responding only to the signals given them.

There is a double-dissolution (ie, all seats in both houses of parliament are up for re-election) federal election in Australia happening this weekend, and the electioneering over the past few months has been exactly as Mr Crouch described: The leaders of the two major parties have chosen a few uncontroversial campaign issues that fail to address any of the real problems (rising socioeconomic inequality, a vocal minority undercurrent of racial/religious tension & bigotry) in Australia. All the leaders will discuss during their campaigns are these superficial issues. The people are simply expected to react to these few selected issues, agreeing or disagreeing as appropriate for their political party affiliation, without asking for any discussion of broader/deeper issues.

There are a few minor parties & independents that are attempting to broaden the discussion, but the two major parties are openly advising voters to vote "for stability" (ie, them) rather than "instability" that might result in a minority government.
It claims to present itself as a full filesystem so I don't see why it wouldn't, however, you're probably going to run into pretty hardcore performance issues, because the bandwidth amazon provides in general is on the stingy side, but under a terabyte, they're downright miserly, with a 10 gig filesystem only able to provide 0.5 MB/s sustained. This product is problematic at best.
Mhhh, VsVim is probably the worst implementation of Vim in an IDE in my opinion.

Vrapper for Eclipse, does the job, the Vim plugin in Intellij sucks as well but still better than VsVim.

The Xcode version is ok.

Few versions ago, there was that nasty bug in VsVim where it would throw an exception if you save an unedited file ...
Shouldn't be too hard to translate that syntax into SQL. I actually did something similar in my last team, a simple query language to expose to admins etc. as an API. For example:

VirtualMachines.with(os == "linux" and alerts > 0)
Maybe but unfortunately the database doesn't support "backup store" that we can use directly S3, it just writes the data to specified directory in a filesystem. We should either fork the database or implement "S3 backed" filesystem and we picked the latter one. Unfortunately the performance FUSE is not that good for read and writing data to S3 is somehow expensive.
Fire all the "diversity" employees. You know what I'm talking about.
s/septically/sceptically/ (probably :-))

And preparing data for publication is lots of work [1] that unfortunately doesn't 'pay' in today's scientific culture.mit even runs the risk of others 'mining' publications from your data before you have the chance to do so.

The best reply to questions you can expect is "that's a nice follow-up idea. Let's work on it together". Risk there is that the scientists may be working in some other direction that they find more promising.

[1] for example, you have 100 sets of data, but only used 78 in _this_ publication for various reasons (chemical used was applied at incorrect time, for too long, was out of date, subject was too old, had an existing condition, etc). You explain that in the publication in a small paragraph. In your dataset, you probably did it by copying the dataset and removing the ones not suitable for the task at hand. Did you keep that selection after the paper was published? Probably not. Even if you did, sending the selected data set out isn't sufficient. Others might want to see all data, so that they can verify the correctness of your selection.

Source control systems could help here, but as I said, providing data unfortunately career-wise doesn't pay at the moment for scientists.

1. Are there any plans to have a TypeScript version of the lib?

2. Would it be possible to add jsdoc comments for autocompletion?

3. Are the polyfills for Map and Set still necessary now that we have that in es2015?

4. Why is the lib so heavy on argument overloads?

5. Are there any code style restrictions? I often saw loops and conditions without curly brackets and alike.

6. Are there any fields you'd need support in for maintaining or reworking the library?

I really like D3.js although I haven't found an application for me yet. I find it hard to get/update the date from a none standard REST endpoint and display them, especially if they are kind of multichanneled, like working times of multiple users unordered.
Tit for tat: a Turkish party in Germany
Thank you for a comprehensive answer. I do not think that one vulnerability in 8+ years proofs insecurity of QubesOS (by the way, it was found by their developers). OpenBSD is not free from kernel vulnerabilities on such a long time scale. Security through correctness never works, because people are not ideal. (Xen developers are also trying to decrease the code base and make sure the code is as correct as possible.) The only "silver bullet" is defense in depth [0], i.e., trying everything you can.

I heard [1] that OpenBSD is concentrated on the security of the kernel too much, ignoring the isolation of applications. However, most frequently, attacks come through applications. And this is exactly the point of QubesOS: to isolate the applications as much as possible.

You might also be interested in a comparison between different approaches to security [2].

Would it be possible to take the studies and actually develop them into the analysis?

> the authors focus on a bunch of unpublished studies from a dissertation and a colleague who is not even an author of the present paper. There is no way of knowing whether these unpublished experiments meet the standards to be published in high-quality journals.”

The way to know if the experiments meet the standards is to show it in the same paper, I guess?
You're absolutely right: the board is definitely micromanaging the CEO. But what can I do about it? I'm just a software engineer.

This is pretty cool, though I don't think the plant will survive.
Just remember that one of the reasons why the JVM does all sorts of fancy/mind-boggling runtime heuristics and optimizations is precisely because it's not possible, at compile time, to always determine a usefully-specific type.

(and to really go off the deep end, in Java it's not possible to determine even what the universe of possible types is at compile time, which is why I like it as a counterexample to people who think they can meaningfully define "statically typed" and have it manage to include Java)

Finally we can start using standard posix semantics for things.

Yes people might say its primitive, but currently all I can see is people trying to re-create shared files systems over protocols not designed for it cough cough HTTP

Finally I can have a shared home, with a shared environment.

A single readonly binary source (great for docker by the way.) also great for ensuring one version of scripts, without having to ansible everything.
Also, it is a full-fledged NFS-mounted file system.

I would be very wary of running a database from that.
"Down time is still on you" - well put. And it is actually great when you can only blame yourself because then you can fix the issue right away. If someone other is to blame, you need to a) convince that person that there is a problem and b) wait for the issue to rise to the top of their queue. Which can be painful.
