Secret: How I make $50-100 everyday from Blogging
I'm using Movim (p.s.: I'm the author - https://movim.eu/). I have a little daemon in Python that parses hundreds of RSS/Atom feeds and push them to public XMPP Pubsub nodes, https://github.com/edhelas/atomtopubsub.

After that I just use Movim to subscribe to them and I can enjoy real-time pushed news in a nice UI that is available on my phone, browser on in an app. And everyone can also subscribe and publish on new nodes. I really think that XMPP is a really nice protocol to do such things.

Atheists would have been worse because it is not a problem of religion per se. Western Christianity always held out hope that the church could oppose the state (and sometimes did). There is no real room for any competition to the state in a fully atheistic society. That's why Mao and Stalin were so bad. It wasn't because of atheist doctrines (outside of atheistic political doctrines), but there was too much power concentrated in too few hands.

Thanks for the question!

I've heard of MPS but I don't know much about it. I need to watch the demos/screencasts!

I'm very much interested in "tools for thought," which could include deduction assistants, but also other tools to augment human intellect. Barliman is the first program I've worked on with this tools-for-though mindset, which I've found very stimulating. I've been influenced by Englebart, Vannevar Bush, Licklider, Alan Kay, Alan Borning, Brett Victor, Alex Warth, Michael Nielsen, among others. I can point you to lots of resources on this topic, if you are interested.

Michael Ballantyne and I started a mailing list/set of Google Hangouts called "As We May Thunk" to explore some of these ideas. You might find some of the hangouts interesting:

I'm not sure I fully understand your question though. It sounds like you may have a specific tool or feature in mind. Can you elaborate a little more?

I'm always up for email or a hangout if this isn't the best venue.

> considering that Eclipse is a direct descendant of IBM's VisualAge Smalltalk environment.

I was an active Smalltalker and Java developer in that timeframe and I used both Java and Smalltalk environments. IBM’s titles were "VisualAge for Smalltalk" (VAST) and "VisualAge for Java" (VA Java). They were both built on top of Smalltalk. . In fact, or at least my recollection, the VA Java environment had basically the same code browsers and tools available as the VAST environment, and the word on the street was that building on top of the Smalltalk environment allowed IBM to meet their time-to-market objectives for the Java product.

So I have to disagree with the idea that Eclipse is a direct descendant of VisualAge for Smalltalk. The same company was involved, but at best they’re siblings, and really, bastard siblings at that. Eclipse was a "rewrite" of the environment in verb only; it was a new environment in it’s own right and the tools didn’t allow for exploring and debugging existing code, or trying out new code, as well as VA Java did.

> I personally loath that style of development because I'm lacking tools to track changes to the product and tools to reproduce the product from a fresh image.

Both VisualAge for Smalltalk and Digitalk/V (the first of many subsequent re-writes that avoided Xerox’s licensing fees of Smalltalk-80) could commit "change sets" to an external code repository. Loading those changes to a fresh image would allow reproducing a product predictably, perhaps addressing your objection. I can speak definitively only for the Digitalk/V case, but the resulting image would include the dev tools and for the application, the VM would ensure that only the application code was executed. There was subsequent development (after a merger of Digitalk and it’s competitor, ParcPlace) that would allow creating an application in the more traditional sense, but that was never released. It was rumored that Dolphin Smalltalk had that capability, but that, too, never saw the light of day (as far as I'm aware).

I credit Mr. Hartl's tutorial many years ago with my decision to take Rails seriously and find a job where I got to work with it every day. I appreciated the framework, but it often seemed "too cute" or "too magical" for my C++-based tastes. His tutorial provided a sober introduction to pragmatic work with the framework that continues to influence my day job to this day.

(Apologies for never actually buying the book after working through the HTML version and loving it–I'll be sure to purchase a copy this month.)
No need for new scalable cities.

Human interactions will develop in the virtual dimension.

Virtual and Augmented Reality will keep you in touch with your friends and get you to your workplace.

You don't go to the store. The Internet of things brings the store to you.

With V/AR you will not only fully access any city around the world but a large set of virtual places and cities limited only by imagination.

There still be transportation and physical proximity like there is still paper books but that wouldn't be the place where the biggest chunk of the economy lies.
The thing with falling-of-roof deaths is that they are poisson distributed. If 25 people fell off roofs then maybe if we are unlucky 50 people will fall off roofs this year. But no amount of bad luck will ever make 10,000 fall off roofs the year after.

Deaths from fusion and nuclear on the other hand are very unpredictable. It is easy to imagine that year after year, no people die. And then suddenly millions of people die. That means that equating actual danger with observed-deaths-so-far is just not possible.
The UK and US have been using submarines as SIGINT platforms for a long time. Don't discount the ability to sneak into coastal waters a mile offshore from a missile testing facility, pop up an antenna and listen for telemetry, radar or other comms. The book I am currently reading about GCHQ describes such missions, for example: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=l9i5bt1-7HYC&lpg=PA6&vq=...
For someone new, I agree the setup is daunting. It was almost comical that "hello world" took 10 pages.

I think the tutorial could really use an explanation of what a web app is (a bunch of files in a particular structure that the special server knows how to handle) and why we need all the setup to handle it. Then it should explain what actions, controllers, and routes are and what they do, instead of just introducing the terms without meanings. It wasn't until the exercises suggested changing the route to a different action that it clicked for me.

BTW, I think that "goodbye world" is a horrible example to use.

Inductive Logic Programming is really interesting. I'd really like to explore similarities between ILP and the synthesis used in Barliman--I suspect Barliman's example-based synthesis could get a real boost from ILP.

One book I highly recommend, and which I've found very accessible, is Ivan Bratko's 'Prolog Programming for Artificial Intelligence'. The 4th edition has a section on ILP.

If you are interested in ILP and also in Barliman, maybe this is a topic we could explore together.
Healbe Gobe: a 3̶0̶ 19 day trial and review (part 2)
Testing would be great. I have no use for team syncing, so won't upgrade to the subscription version, and use Paw as dev tool when working on new APIs. Having tests in there would be convenient and would actually make me test things (I have a hard time making or updating unit tests, I admit). If it was able to continuously monitor my API server side, for at least when I push a commit, that would be great. I'm currently using Runscope for this a bit, but it's flaky and a bit too expensive for my light use. And of course I have to manually re-add everything I already did in (much more powerful) Paw.

No one is talking turbomolecular pump here, these are used below 10mPa. For 100 Pa an ordinary displacement pump will do.
The economy has been growing, but the growth was not sustainable for a number of reasons - after 20 or so years of 'communism' the planned economy started massively missallocating investments, the technical expertise carried over from germany and eastern europe after the war was less and less relevant, and many of the people who got to the top were clueless sociopaths. There was no real pressure for effectivity - it took for example about 10 years to develop a consumer car in a socialist country, and then they could not hit production targets, whereas in the West cars were abundant and cheap. And then there were price controls. The market did not work, because it was forbidden from doing it, and the alternatives did not work either, so the economy went bust.
This kind of thing was baked into the Linux driver for the AMD Radeon HD6310 on a netbook I bought in 2010. It was very unpleasant and impossible to disable. Later drivers did not seem to have that feature.

What's LWH ?
Disappointment.

The problem in New York (and heck, in San Francisco) is that there's very little capacity and a lot of people to use it. One doesn't use an app or sensor-enabled sign to find where to park in Manhattan: you pay for a monthly space in a garage so that you're bleeding slightly less money and so that you have a consistent place to park, or you just use transit like everyone else. One doesn't use free wifi from random kiosks: you buy a cell phone plan so that you can have wireless anywhere (and you install the app to send you a notice when your preferred subway line melts down). Dynamically adjusted parking schemes will not be a welcome component of anyone's day to day life and commute. The traffic-planning data is a marginal improvement over running those little wires over the street to count cars, I suppose, and mmmaybe will help for special events?

The hype is too much. You know what would deserve infrastructure hype? Use traffic data to adjust a real network of driverless cars or something that substantially improves capacity. These nonsense kiosks will probably help out some lost tourists, but the rest of New Yorkers will gleefully ignore them. Bringing up real infrastructure achievements like sewers just makes these look puny.

We see the real motivation at the bottom of the article: targeting advertisements with wifi sniffing. The rest is just part of a sell job.
This post is probably going to be flagged, like other Trump-related posts.

Teach your son that when people are afraid and uncertain about how they're going to feed their families, they become more nationalistic/xenophobic, and that sometimes manifests itself as racism. It's human nature, and it's happened many times in history. Much of Trump's racism is actually rooted in nationalism or protectionism, which isn't exactly the same as, for example, the enslavement of Africans in the US.

Nazi Germany arose the same way, due to the reparations the Germans were forced to pay after WWI. Why didn't it happen again? The Allies didn't force Germany to bankrupt its economy paying reparations after WWII.

Desperate people are dangerous. Due to the global recession and the decline of labor in the US, lots of people are desperate. Trump offers them hope. It's much more nuanced than Palpatine in Star Wars, who was so obviously evil, and it's something that's happened in every democratic society.

6 Valuable SEO Techniques I Learned from Quora That No One Tells You
As a lifelong Windows user, I've always been surprised about the obsession Unix users seem to have with filesystems.

I mean, as an end user (developer, but I assume that doesn't matter), what I expect from a filesystem is:

* let me save a file in a directory
* let me open it again

I also appreciate how many tools can use stats (eg filemtime) for good effect, and how fine grained permissions help keep my computer secure. All filesystems I've ever used let me do these things, and have for a long time.

This probably makes me a Blub programmer in file system terms. What am I missing? Why should I be dissatisfied with NTFS? I mean, in all honesty I don't even know which filesystems my various hard drives and sd cards have - I just save and open files.

Normally I like this guy, but this doesn't seem correct on many counts. I've seen flexible vacuum gaskets for vibration isolation that would easily allow for thermal expansion. I'm fairly sure the volume of air rushing into a break will go down as the pressure locally reaches 1 atmosphere so the "wall of pressure" wouldn't really act the way he describes because of drag on the walls. ETC...

> The key really is the CO2 flux rate which wind provides.

Indeed. This brings us to the issue of volumes. A useful carbon capture plant needs to capture at least 100 000 tons of CO2 per year (then we need "just" ~ 10 000 such plants). This means each of these minimal plants has to process an air volume of 250 billion cubic meters of air per year. At an air speed of 1 m/s (you can't flow too fast or there is no time for reaction), and assuming a wildly optimistic 50% capture from the filtered air, you need a reaction area of over 15 000 square meters.

Mind you, that's the area of the membrane which processes air. Add the auxiliary stuff around it, you can add at least another factor of 100 to the area, so each of your 10 000 plants have to be 1.5x the maximum planned size of the Tesla Gigafactory. And we're being optimistic.
The Fed funds rates is not money from the Fed. The Fed funds rate is the amount that banks charge to borrow from each other, bank to bank. And this money banks lend each other is NOT and can NOT be used for loans, it is used to cover their Federal Reserve obligations. Also the Fed does not actually set this rate, it can only try to influence it via Open Market Operations, so no it not the same thing at all, most certainly not "essentially."
unexec is only done once, at build-time, to convert temacs with a bunch of loaded libraries to emacs, which includes those libraries already. So it doesn't need to search them on disc, and compile them.

It's never serialized. It's just dumped. Like a core file, with just proper headers, sections and segments, so that it can be executed. A proper COFF/ELF binary. A core file has all the segments but misses the headers.
Using DCGs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definite_clause_grammar), you can easily create grammars for automated document parsing and generation.

You could even write a compiler (http://comjnl.oxfordjournals.org/content/34/1/64.full.pdf) or disassembler (http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a242987.pdf) in Prolog fairly easy. All thanks to the really smooth support of tree-like structures.

I do wonder why all this seems to be a little forgotten. Granted, the syntax and semantics are a bit unusual, but the expressive power can hardly be matched.

> You can't get better performance or smaller size than a manual written js solution.

Except in cases where the handwritten solution must be transformed to a different pattern (doing essentially the same thing). For example, the handwritten solution may write:

element.innterHTML = '<div><span>x</span></div>';

While the compiler will unpack that and would use document.createElement() and would append these nodes together. The example may be lame, but most people would prefer a short string over 4+ lines of createElement() calls in their handwritten version. (Same old story with assembly vs. compiled C code).

Similar pattern may arise for various parts of the JS execution profiles and/or browser runtime quirks.

You are right to partially dismiss this, because the Indians weren't oppressed because of religion. The sense of supremacy responsible, racism and narcissism etc., are rooted way deeper.

However, the points you argue weren't stated as absolute as you make them (using exaggeration as literary device?). On the one hand, "holding itself to be the universal ideal of correctness" is a correct characterization of religions. On the other, your view is partial in favor of religion, while religions as well state that atheism or any other religion is the root of all evil.

He advocates "fail-fast" and "share-nothing" as fundamental principles - that's the point. With no sharing a failure of a single process affects no other, unlike threads with shared stack and state.
