Well, I'm not a fountain of knowledge here, but here's what I know. Skinner is a psychologist, founder of the behaviorism approach in psychology. The chief idea if behaviorism is that it refuses to build any imaginary psychology models and sticks to what's really observable and measurable. For example, a behaviorist won't talk about Id or Ego, introverts or extroverts, inner child and such because these concepts are just that: imaginary concepts we have no proof of.

I'd say that behaviorism was very successful and came up with very useful results, such as teaching machines (note that it it was around 50s). Skinner even went further and wrote about cultural engineering, that is a way to change our culture to build a better future. You can read more about this in his books "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" and "Walden Two". The latter is a utopia; it describes an imaginary community built on these principles. What's interesting is that this took off somewhat and there were a few attempts to actually built such communities and some of them appear to still function; they started in 70s, so it's a very good result for an endeavor like that.

Now, Chomsky is a linguist and I don't know much about his works, except formal grammars and such and I know that he has some strong political views, although I cannot really describe them. When Skinner published his book "Verbal Behavior", Chomsky wrote a very critical review of it. The review became very popular, more than the book itself. Skinner never replied (he rarely did). My understanding is that this was one of major blows against behaviorism; nowadays many of its achievements are forgotten; the psychologists know about this, of course, but do you see any teaching machines around? Cultural engineering, anyone? (Also, check Skinner's air crib.)

Now this is a reply to Chomsky's review by MacCorquodale. Wikipedia says that it was endorsed by Skinner, so it probably summarizes Skinner's position on things. So yes, it must be an interesting piece. I think it's best to read Chomsky first. I myself haven't read neither "Verbal Behavior" nor Chomsky's review, but now I just might :)
Go and JavaScript: Using GopherJS with Babel and Webpack
It seems to be whatever model terminal they're using.

One other example is chase. Their ATMs still make you insert, pull out, then stick back in. Ive yet to have one take the card first try.
But that clearly isn't all -- I've listened to _No More Shall We Part_ probably a thousand times and it's still good.
I thought vendoring means, you are safe even if the original repo was removed from GitHub.
This tool still looks nice for a Wrapper to handle submodules for you in a Go way. But still you are only safe, if you fork and keep your fork up to date and "vendor" your fork using Manul.
Sure! We should be tankfull they throw us a bone here and there(i.e. a whitepaper)...until then let's invest more in their cloud services so they can show us how small we are without them. I remember people asking why they don't open source datastore and appengine. Their response was that we are too dumb to manage it so it won't help us anyway.
This whole paper was great. It starts heavy on the humor but then also delivers just enough actual cryptographic protocol to make the lead-up worth it. This bit at the end was my favorite:

As is noted in [1], if Alice simply suggests to Bob that
they carry out a SENPAI exchange, this in and of itself is
indicative of interest on Alice’s part. Thus, the only nonawkward
way to actually use the SENPAI protocol is to
assemble large groups of people, and have every pair of
people carry out the protocol.
I think it's a good question. And you're being polite. Not sure why you're being downvoted.

My interest in Ethereum is twofold:

1) I got into open source software at a time when you ran software locally. An OSS project could just post a tarball and users could download it, modify it, and use it. That meant hosting costs were low for the developers, and most of the computational cost was born by the users. This system has broken down in the X-as-a-Service era. If an open source developer wants to build a web service, they have to basically pay the entire computing bill for their users, which can get exorbitant if your software is popular.

Ethereum is a way to socialize the hosting costs. I can write software as an Ethereum contract, put it onto the network, and then users can pay for their own hosting. I can do the work of setting up the necessary software infrastructure, and they can pay for it without having to do the work of maintaining their own server instance. Something like Ethereum is needed to bring about a resurgence in end-user open source software.

2) Bitcoin has value because it can do some useful tasks, but not very many. You can keep a ledger, transfer funds to another person. That's about it. That's an advantage: it's the first mover, and it is very narrow in scope. It's easy to reason about, and offers a clear value proposition. It is useful the way Western Union is useful, or the way your savings account is useful. Those are big markets, and Bitcoin is worth whatever amount of value it takes to float some large number of transactions from the time of purchase to the time of sale.

Ethereum does function as a currency, but that's almost a side effect. Instead of just burning cycles on transaction processing the way Bitcoin does, Ethereum actually does valuable work. It is useful the way Google is useful, or the way Microsoft Word is useful. And those are really big markets, and growing. Ethereum is potentially worth whatever amount of value is required to float that computational power between the time of purchase and the time of execution. That could be a quite large number.

I think there will be a lot of projects like Ethereum, which do valuable work in a decentralized way and use a currency to float the running computational costs. Ethereum is the first credible such system we've seen and appears to be fairly general purpose. Whether it is The One, or just The First One leaves to be seen.

But as a speculator in currencies, I think it's a great diversification after you've invested in Bitcoin. And I am quite certain there will be another down the line.

I guess I'll be "that guy" who brings up non-technical concerns. I'd think very long and hard about using MySQL these days. Oracle is pretty much bizzaro treating it and widening the feature gap between the open source and enterprise version.
Wikimedia is using MariaDB so I'd guess it works well for certain high scale use cases.

[I know there's different opinions but I'd rather have a fully open database if I have a choice. For the record I default to PostgreSQL]
Wouldn't git subtrees be a better option than git submodules?

Virtual worlds already deal in this level of centralization. It's not unprecedented and economists have gotten great data from studying those. They have persistent, naturally occurring interactions with real world macroeconomies via item trading. Long story short, it's absolutely within reach to reorganize finance to resemble game design. That doesn't mean it's risk free - but success is possible and even likely with due diligence.
Putting your dependencies in a folder called "vendor/" is standard, but how you get them there isn't.

There's a collection of tools for managing that, like this one , and others like "godep" and "glide". Which one you use for that doesn't seem to be settled.
Why do you want to do that?

10 indexes on one table seems a bit much. It sounds like a table that hasn't been normalized.
And white noise makes me feel calm.
Sure, if you just try to write software and expect it to work as hardware you're going to have a bad time, but that's not really the point of these tools.

The reason to use a programming language for hardware design is that modern programming languages are monumentally better at abstraction than pretty much any available HDL or hardware design tools.

The Information Flaneur: A Fresh Look at Information Seeking (2011)
Contactless payment has been rolled out in many places in Holland over the past year or two, and while that decreases the benefit of using your phone, it's still slightly easier to pull out your phone than to take a card out of a wallet, pay, then put it back in.

For me that would be enough of an improvement to switch.
I've never encountered an environment where this wasn't the case. When I was younger and, in many ways, more of an asshole, I found myself playing along in such a culture--candor and "straight talk" were ways for me to step right up to the line and try to put me over somebody else. Breaking free of it was difficult.
Appropriate magic.

Jackson uses byte-code manipulation to get its work done, but you'll never see it nor have to interact with it -- all you see is a nicely annotated class that automatically converts to and from JSON as it enters and leaves your code. For advanced use-cases you may have to ask for the ObjectMapper and convert strings yourself, but you'll never need to know how it's implemented.

To my mind, appropriate magic is where you define your interface to have a simple-to-use but complete API, hiding the complexity of implementation. For example, Guava's CacheMap implementation has careful internal locking to present a consistent but high-performance thread-safe object, rather than requiring external locking or needing the caller to avoid certain combinations of actions, both of which I've seen when I've come across people who tried to implement their own. Or, in Jackson's case, high-performance data manipulation that could be done using reflection but isn't because that would be too slow.
> The answer is very simple: productivity + youthful optimism.

Culture also plays an important role. In the U.S., work ethics largely trumps work-life balance, and the threat of being perceived (or seeing oneself) as a slacker spurs you to work long hours or take very few holidays. It also relieves some anxiety, as in, "I work hard, at least they can't take that away".

But there is a high price to pay for it, and burnouts or massive regrets later in life are parts of that price.
Not in my experience. I've found more places slowly accepting it as the few with the remaining old terminals that only supported chip+pin are being replaced by newer units that have contactless.

A year or two ago I used to rarely see the contactless part taped over with a message saying "No paypass" or whatever, but I can't remember the last time I saw that anywhere. Even Costco now takes contactless up to $200 now.
I'm happy to see usable non x86 hardware ! But we still have to solve emulation. I wonder if there is a way to decompile and recompile binaries. In theory it SHOULD be possible to convert what the CPU is asked to do, back to what the program does, and then convert it to another CPU.

An implementation like this would have a huge impact on new platform giving them a fighting change, allow competition without vendor lock-in.

"Mgt Team has over 40 yrs experience managing wireless stores", REALLY?
Sort of a Lorem Ipsum in music.

Listening to good music (as a non-musician) is for me mostly about experience emotions.

Listening to this music leads immediately to be about identifying what rules the generator was programmed to follow. The stricter the rules (less random), the more music-like it may sound, but without any emotion. Except maybe comedy.
Probably to eliminate TLB misses almost completely?
"Mgt Team has over 40 yrs experience managing wireless stores"

Seriously, 40 yrs of wireless store management?? Was there any consumer facing wireless service back in 1976? I'm confused.

As far as this article says,
(http://mashable.com/2014/03/13/first-cellphone-on-sale/#QX95...), the first cellphone on sale was in 1984 and it cost $3,995. I wonder if there were already "wireless stores" that needed to be managed whatsoever at that time.

May I ask why you have eight cards? Is that common in your part of the world?

I've got three cards: personal account, business account, and credit cards. I don't remember the credit card PIN since I rarely need it, so that leaves two PINs. I'm already having a hard time remember my business card PIN since I don't use it much. Can't imagine having to carry around eight and remembering all those PINs!
I partially agree with this thesis, but I dunno any solutions that better than git submodules. Everything is just the worst, manul just sucks less.
It's honestly mundane in it's availability in the US as well; I just haven't seen anyone actually using it.
For single-point-of-view, yes. Otherwise, if you can take images from multiple viewpoints, there are a bunch of solutions for pure photogrammetry, eg. Pix4d, Photoscan, Capturing Reality.

Theoretically, there is enough data in the images to build photorealistic models. Algorithmically, we aren't quite there yet.
"Pros" are listed, but "cons" are not. While evaluating git submodules as a possible solution for vendoring at my work, I found the following disadvantages with this model:

- you can use only git dependencies (no bzr, hg, ...); though most stuff is on github nowadays (especially with closure of Google Code), still not necessarily everything. With pure submodules you're locking yourself in the git monoculture.

- you must trust your dependencies will not ever disappear (see "the leftpad problem", or the mentioned closure of Google Code).

That said, all approaches have pros and cons. Though I admit I usually don't like advertisements which only show advantages and don't list downsides.
Also plugging Websharper (http://websharper.com/) which is a full web framework that includes a F# to JS compiler to write the client-side part of the code.

Though you can use just the compiler inside a regular ASP.NET MVC project, if you so choose.
If anyone is reading this thread I'd be very curious to know why a guide on how to run Bitcoin over Tor is downvoted on a website with "Hacker" in it's name.
So he predicts the amount of smartphones to double from 2.5b to 5b, implying that the majority of it will be android phones, but the "Platform wars" are over?

Nothing is over, even the "browser war" is now back on in full force, I suspect a new operating system (or perhaps windows 10? who knows) will emerge that will challenge both iOS and Android.
Why? because something like this always does.
Not to sound like a conspiracy nut but this just reinforces the idea of a corrupt (if not idiotic) US voting/election system.
I don't know any Korean, but the difference in Japanese is that you (generally) don't address people with kōhai. The younger one usually says '<name>-senpai' or 'senpai', the elder just '<name>'.

Damning. Another report from April, 2016 about fraud in the Democratic primaries favoring Hillary Clinton.

I think this story does not need to be flagged, but could benefit from a very constrained discussion ('self-censoring') to not let personal political opinions take over the discussion. I'll try.

Is this a direction more modern, western democracies seem to be heading? I feel a loss of democratic appeal and subsequent machinations of all kinds by apparatuses of state to keep in power. Democratic in name, but the number of options available to the public limited to what is in line with what public officials think of as good sense.

Examples:

-DNC machinating to get Clinton elected as candidate. The public needed Russia (!) for a fresh dosis of unpopular truths about those machinations. This documents more evidence on machinations.

-The unpopular and undemocratic European Union. Examples abound. The best being the EU-constitution: struck down in popular referendums, flown in as a treaty.

-In my country, the Netherlands, a referendum in which the public voted against an EU-agreement with Ukraine (wholy within law, with very obvious machinations by state and political parties), on which both the government and EU reneged

Counter example:

-Brexit

Disclaimers

-Please, don't hit on the 'red herrings' (if any), like 'undemocratic EU'. I see it as both a fact (imho, populus does not recognize European parliament) and an opinion (mostly in the more populist parties over Europe). Not center to my view of democracies limiting decision power of the populus.
-The 'public officials' need not be those paid by the state. But more broadly: those aspiring to have their organisations have a say over public policy.
If single-threaded performance or memory bandwidth is more important to your use case then POWER8 would steamroll a Xeon E5 v4 even factoring in the power usage, I'm actually looking at trying to get a S812LC at work to eval moving one of our very heavy transactional PostgreSQL databases to for this very reason (having to run a seq scan over a 80GB table would benefit heavily from the increased memory bandwidth).

Hand counting of votes seems like a no-brainer, regardless of whether there was a conspiracy this election.
If you ate not willing/able to pay for managed cloud services like Firebase, there are some really cool self-hosted alternatives out there (like deepstream.io and horizon.io). Open-sourcing software should always be a can, not a must. We could as well expect Amazon to open source DynamoDB, which is proprietary as well and still has quite a lot of users.
It's a rigged system that's the way it's supposed to work.

Either you overcome the rigging, or you STFU and unify with the corruption. As Sarah Silverman would say, stop being ridiculous.

Besides, what are you going to do about it? Vote for Trump?
That's interesting - I have the totally opposite experience. I've been using a card for most of my purchases since I was 13 years old, and I'm so used to budgeting by analysing my internet banking transactions (previously the paper statements) that when I'm forced to get out cash to buy something, I am extremely carefree with how I spend the change.

Once the transaction is there on my internet banking, it feels to me like the money is already spent - so if I have to get $50 out to pay $30 somewhere that doesn't take cash, I'll just spend the other $20 on whatever without thinking! Whereas I'm a lot more careful with the card because I know I'll see it in my transactions later.
> Not to sound like a conspiracy nut

The fact that you have to state that after being given this whole bunch of good evidence is a big part of the problem.
The United States very well may be the only country on Earth that invites illegal immigrants to stand on the floor of their national convention and demand systematic change across the political divide. Think about this for just a moment - imagine you live in China, illegally, what do you think will happen once you get caught? They will ship you back to the U.S. Period. I overstayed my Chilean visa by 1 day and was threatened to be sent to military prison.

Given this is not only a Democrat problem, but a Republican problem as well, both parties irresponsibly pander to potential voters - in this case illegal immigrants. Does that make it right? No. I am all for removing borders globally, but this is not what Democrats are describing. They don't want Trump to separate families. That is it. Where these people used as pawns, yes.

Back in the 80's, amnesty was granted for 3 million undocumented workers. Flash forward 30 years, that number is now over 12+ million. When will it end?

I don't know about you all, but I could care less about which party you are from - we need to get illegal immigration under control. What will you do to fix this?
There's the abstraction of music, and then there's music.

Just because we can transcribe an audio recording into 12 tones, and 16 divisions of a bar, doesn't mean that's all the information it contains. There's a whole lot more.

There's little variations in pitch, tone, dynamics, etc. All the stuff that separates a great recording from a lifeless snooze.

My theory is that pleasing music falls half way been the predictable, and the unpredictable. So if the beat is too predictable, the artist can always compensate by using an unusual melody... etc. But many of the ways an artist can add unpredictability can't be expressed with traditional notation.
Is it definitely the original? I've heard there are a lot of copies on the market.

That's not how social interaction works. If someone asks for my number so they can text me, I happily give it to them. I'm not going to interrupt the conversation at that point to give them a lecture to never call me. They will get the point when I don't answer.

It's like telling people not to give out their physical address for mail if they don't want people to show up unannounced at their home.
