I assumed we were talking about local pollution since that's the topic of the article. As certain commenters elaborated, it became clear that they were focused on CO2 instead, but given the context of the conversation it took some time to make that shift.

I'm not fully up on the latest and greatest in compression technologies but my go to format these days is usually 7zip which I believe is just a container that uses LZMA. For whatever reason *nix people seem to hate it even though I get much better compression with it than tarballs, zlib/zips. Is there a similar container format that will or does use LZFSE? And how much better is it than 7zip/LZMA?

Idea: Co-Op program

Farmers join a local Co-Op, say "Iowa's Data Co-Op". The Data Co-Op then sells to the highest bidder, then after a small management fee returns dividends to the participating farmers.

The Data Co-Op partners with equipment integrators to build data collection devices and data transformations.

I can't find a reference for polar bears, but it's probably the same as for grizzly bears where they use a mixture of Xylazine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylazine) and Telazol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiletamine), a dissociative in the same family as Ketamine. So not a paralytic, but the animal retains memory of the experience.

Disclaimer: despite all my praises for Go, I don't actually use it for real problems. Would I like to use Go? Definitely! Is there a problem that I'm trying to solve that needs Go? Certainly not. In many cases I'd objectively pick Rust over Go, but when it comes to threading primitives, Go is somewhat unmatched.

Exactly my point. A good coder will choose the tool that expresses the solution correctly. C is a very good choice, it always will be, there are sometimes better choices. Ultimately it seems as though we are in agreement; cheers!
They're pretty incoherent. His retelling has a really jumbled timeline. Part of that might be missing context if he was replying to other tweets but they aren't linked. The ones that are linked don't look much better, though. His tweets to @jackstormwriter don't make much sense unless the archive somehow lost most of the ones from @jackstormwriter.

He also claimed that the police assaulted him at his own home, while reports indicate that he was not at his own home and was basically trying to break down the door, hence why the police were called. It seems likely he had a psychotic episode. This whole thing is tragic but I'm not sure it indicates abusive behavior from the police.
Yeah, iirc, that was the case as well which is why I'd assume Bing.

Good luck with getting pkg-config to recognize your include files automatically, for example. Or the good old "man" utility.

Alternative: maintain a HUUUUUGE list of xPATH env variables, and update them every time you recompile something and change the directory in the process. Oh, and hope that other people's Makefiles are intelligent enough to not mess up shit (e.g. use headers from system, and library .so files from your own compile)...

- E-mail can be spoofed (authenticity not guaranteed) and lacks other elements of security such as a widely-supported encryption method.

- The only thing you need in order to spam somebody is their address, and there is no real defense aside from performing server-melting numbers of computations to analyze E-mails. The lack of authenticity (above) is also a factor.

- E-mail was never really designed for many of the things it is now used for, requiring a lot of tricks for it to work at all. This also contributes to inefficiencies in processing E-mail data that a different protocol/format would avoid.

- These deficiencies have led in part to a lot of centralization that is not desirable. For instance, it would be preferable if people could easily run their own E-mail servers but due to the chances of spam, etc. a lot of E-mail will not be routed correctly if you do.
From the autopsy, he did not die of an overdose, but rather of hanging - appears he looped the vacuum flex around the top bannister, then slid down the stairs until it cut off blood flow - "Cause of Death: Hanging".

That said, you're quite right that the cocktail he had in his system disinhibited him to the point of no return.

I for one of course do not believe that people from other regions/continents are somehow inherently worse or better.

But I do believe that certain elements of different cultures and different ways of social upbringing can have a lasting positive or negative effect on a person. (although who am I to judge what is positive or negative? I try not to do this, I just see differences)

If these things didn't affect how we later as adults view the world, interact with others and respond to different types of challenges in our life then you could expect that basically everyone around the world would have the same moral value system and beliefs about almost everything.

This is obviously not the case.
Your criticism's may be true, but lets think about it from a web developer's perspective. Being standards compliant is great and all, but when you are creating a website you have to think about the way your users are going to experience it.

If a large majority of your visitors use chrome, you are going to have to prioritize their experience. While ideally you will make it work perfectly for every browser, sometimes you have to make compromises.

It isn't about thinking that Chrome is the world we all SHOULD live in, it is trying to design a web page for the world we DO live in.
He may well (in fact, probably was) beating at his neighbour's door in the first instance - but the second, you'll have to take their word for it.

If you read the autopsy, specifically about the blunt force trauma, either he put up on hell of a fight, or they did indeed paste him.

Vogogo to sell risk platform; says shutting down payment processing business
I would have no problem with that whatsoever and gladly pay even more taxes - if I didn't know that all I would pay for is corruption. People spending money have to be accountable - and that using an actually working system, not just on paper - to those who pay. Foreign tax payers are in the worst position possible, because not even their own government would care much and hide behind "higher level policy and diplomacy" before risking trouble. "You vote for me in the UN and I'll overlook your corruption" - every day in "realpolitik".
There's some information about the design in the RFC text:

AFAICT, the idea is to track and hash items like function signatures and bodies, map them to the object files produced by LLVM, and to recompile them when the hashes change.
Yes, in chrome, apparently.
Those are some amazing links. Definitely some inspiration for the future. I could definitely see this getting tied into a system like in the second link, with compost and chickens, and all that.
Not that I don't agree with you, but there is this little thing of US citizens carrying guns which is far from customary in Europe... So I guess the US cops do operate in different environment.

That said, I don't condone police violence and think that in this day and age ALL work of the police should be on camera. Camera doesn't work? Get out of uniform right away, you are no longer a cop.
Its the aspect that no individual cares for TTIP and many actively against it. That does highlight disparity in communication by the EU and the people and was the point that was being made.

Your right that many governments will sign it away happily and again only back how out of touch many governments in countries as well as the EU collective are with the people.

May be they need to communicate more about matters as currently what people do know and even those who looked deeper into it that it was not good for them overall.

Easier when trade deals were more focused and case of we sell you this and you sell us that and we will balance out import tariff's and save grief and paperwork. Today trade deals seem to want to be a catch everything in one hit style documents and run to encyclopedia style lengths that the ability to game them or abuse them is more open as more of them. After all documents written by humans just as prone to bugs as software when you get into large tomes as most trade deals are these days.

Which for me is sadly like trying to design a shoe for everybody no matter that people are different sizes and needs of there footwear.

People moot rude awakening but seriously brexit has become the go to blame scapegoat for lots. But when the global economy loses on stock markets more than the UK's total economy for a year in one day, then you know it is far removed from reality and all speculation driven as markets are these days. Indeed somebody sells lots of something they can create the problem that was the reason for them selling and somewhat self-fulfilling.

Only come 10 years time can we truly get a gauge of change as by then things would of changed and be no change for least 2 years from now. Indeed Europe as a collective has too many weak links members wise and when just 4 of its members were net contributors into it with the other staking more out than paid in, and the UK one of them, then is it a bad thing for the UK, probably not at all once the market FUD and settles down and plans outlined and formalised as currently it is somewhat under-pant gnomes:
1) Referendum
2) ??????????
3) Profit

with us at stage two currently. So can accept the markets having fun. Indeed whatever happens it is those who get commissions (brokers) that always win out.

But corporations issue with EU is that they have paid lobbyists at the MEP's in Brussels all the time that the MEP's saturated time wise by them and the public interaction with MEP's is not great at all and indeed, many cases not as accessible. This along with Brussels centric and UK being Island does remove the level of access many would expect and still the EU does not have its own portal for communications to engage the people in a two way process. But so many things that could be improved it is what I call:
QWERTY politics and any other arrangement would work out more efficiently, just everybody stuck with what seems to work, even if the most inefficient form. Alas today, that lack of change creates divides. But that is equally a global issue in many countries more than many realise.

We live in interesting times, but heck, when is it not interesting.
If you read the autopsy it's absolutely consistent with pretty much exactly this - big bruise in the small of his back where someone dropped knee-first onto him, lots of smaller bruises on his shoulders, sides, and big bruises on his arms, where someone gripped him like a vice.
I think you have it backwards. People who write the asterisk next to the type understand it just fine, we just don't understand how writing it next to the identifier makes sense.

At least, that's how I felt until I read your comment. Now at least I understand why using it that way doesn't drive you absolutely insane. So thanks!
> Offensive, but, given two PoC shot dead in 48 hours by police, certainly not unfounded.

> Racism is deeply embedded in (US) police, and it deserves to be called out.

Ian Murdock is white. This isn't a "PoC" issue, and the colloquial slavery expressions are out of place and offensive. Yes, racism is an issue with US police, but it is unrelated to this occurrence and to this conversation.

And secondly, Ian was violently attempting to break into a neighbor's apartment by bashing down the front door. What exactly do you think should happen in such an instance? I'll tell you what I'd do -- I'd want the police to come as quickly as possible and deal with it, using whatever force is necessary to stop the in-progress home invasion, because if an intruder breaks through my door I have no choice but to shoot them until they're stopped, and I don't want that on my conscience. I don't have the skills or training to determine between mentally deranged people and killers, nor could I effectively or safely use non-lethal methods of self-defense.

I understand the points you're trying to make, but none of them are applicable to this specific situation, in which the police actions were entirely warranted. Put yourself in the shoes of the person whose home was being broken into, think about how scared that would make you especially if the attacker was a physically stronger person than you are. We need the police to stop violent crimes in progress, and they have to use violence in response. And hell, given that they didn't seriously injure him, it sounds like they used the right proportional amount of force as was necessary. Unlike possibly the two high profile fatal shootings in the news the past two days.

You've got to pick your battles. I don't think the Ian Murdock case is a good one.

Jim Comey's Statement on the Clinton Emails: A Quick and Dirty Analysis
Because humans that can consume milk are actively expressing genes that process lactose. Those genes are expressed in mammalian young, and adult humans who are lactose tolerant.

To say that adult lactose digestion is similar to Portia's egg sac spotting abilities is to say that all spider's have an egg sac spotting gene and it's only expressed in the Portia species in a specific geographical area.

Maybe, but then we have an issue with the rest of spiders. If spiders have an egg sac spotting gene, is it inactive during certain times?

Actually you may be onto something, being able to spot an egg sac would be useful for a male to determine the receptiveness of a female to mating. Maybe the Portia spiders in the specific area have a mutation so they are always looking for egg secs, instead of just when a male is looking for a mate.
I think the issue is treating Knuth's literate programming examples as received wisdom, or the pinnacle of the form, rather than as a pioneering effort by someone very talented, but done without the benefit of a developed culture around the practice. He makes mistakes we have memes now for (e.g. "explain why not how", useless comments for imports). I think if literate programming takes off, we'll see the form surpassing Knuth quickly

All harvesting from bees is essentially stealing their food. Modern hive designs allow a beekeeper to take excess honey or pollen from a hive non-destructively. The trick is to only take it from strong hives, while leaving the bees a sufficient quantity to overwinter.

Honey is the overwinter food; beekeepers typically try to leave the bees about 80 lbs, depending on the climate. Pollen is much more important for raising new bees -- removing it will limit the growth of the hive, which in some species is actually desirable. A hive which grows too much is prone to swarming, which beekeepers typically avoid. They will instead save the pollen for the spring -- if you feed the bees pollen after it has begun to warm but before there are flowers in bloom, it will help them build their population back up earlier and they will be at full strength for the early nectar flows.

It seems equally plausible, also based on his state, and on the oh-so-glorious track record of US police, that police officers did assault him, and used excessive force on a man who appears to have needed help rather than an impressive array of injuries and $25k bail.

I use a layer-based approach described at http://akkartik.name/post/wart-layers in https://github.com/akkartik/mu. It's 20kLoC of literate code, and I was super concerned about optimizing it for non-linear reading, because that's how I need to browse the code for myself. It's not a system to generate multiple views like you want; instead, it's a single view that I find easy to skim and easy to reorganize at will:

a) Each layer puts more important stuff up top. So you can start skimming from the first layer, but you don't have to read all the way down each layer, just get a sense of what it provides and why.

b) There's not much emphasis on lengthy comments (which would get linear). Instead just the order in which code is presented does a lot of heavy lifting.

c) The tangled code is intended to be readable (unlike Knuth's original tools), so I often jump down into it when I feel the need. Error messages and debugger support do show lines in the original literate sources, however.

To be (more) nuanced: the truth is often somewhere in the middle, where a drug/alcohol infused psych patient acts like a complete jackass, and frustrated cops get sick of dealing with him and let him have a few knocks (which they should not do) and then lie about it (which they should not do) but it doesn't really change the underlying cause. Sometimes it does change the underlying cause, sometimes they kill somebody who would not otherwise have died, but in this case we are in all likelihood talking about a drug/alcohol infused psych patient who was behaving extremely erratically and there is enough evidence for him to have been the cause of his own demise, and no particular evidence that the cops were.

We can accept the outcome of this while in our minds leaving room for the idea that psych patients can be very difficult to deal with and they frequently and sadly do provoke abuse from the people we leave to look after them.

Think of it like resolving a dispute between two children, who socked who first etc. Sadly, that's what kids do and they lie about it, their statements are unreliable. Watching Judge Judy (!) gives good perspective on this, same sadly is true for adults, frequently both sides are lying, but outcomes that are just(-icey) enough can be determined
