I just so happen to be currently reading about this in The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb. He says:

"From predator-prey models (the so-called Lotka-Volterra type of population dynamics), I knew that populations experience [potentially high] variability, hence predators will necessarily go through periods of feast and famine. That's us, humans--we had to have been designed to experience extreme hunger and extreme abundance.

... So where on earth does this idea of "steady" exercise come from? Nobody in the Pleistocene jogged for forty-two minutes three days a week, lifted weights every Teusday and Friday, etc... Not hunters. We swung between extremes: we sprinted when chased or when chasing (once in a while in an extremely exerting way), and walked about aimlessly the rest of the time."

That's what he thinks anyway. We are complex, yo.

How does that help with a rich front-end? We're not looking to use JavaScript simply for the sake of using JavaScript. We want it in particular for a richer front-end. As far as I can tell, Sails isn't going to help with that any more than Rails does. That's why we're looking into Ember or Angular.
If you want StevenBlack's hosts list to be network-wide I integrated it with an open source, self-hosted DNS server called https://pi-hole.net/ last week which adds a slick admin interface and browser extensions too, then I put it all in a Vagrantfile and set my router to use the VM as a DNS server.

Looks like a Big Bertha shell [1]. Those larger shells were fired by special-purpose guns built in very small numbers (only 12 Berthas were ever built), used to break sieges or against particularly strong front-line fortifications - for example, Big Bertha was first used in action against the Liege fortifications during the drive through Belgium.

An even taller (but lighter) shell was fired by the Long Max [2] converted battleship guns.

The majority of the bombardment was carried out by 75-85mm guns, like for example [3]. Their shells were about half the caliber, and a quarter the mass, of modern 155mm howitzer ammunition, but still twice the mass of modern light infantry mortar shells.

Think of a data flow A->B->C, with A e.g. handling incoming message server, B being a spam/virus filter, and C holding the user's mailbox. Spam/virus filters are useful, but are also rather vulnerable - so C is willing to trust B's spam/non-spam judgement, but wants to ensure that B can't alter or make up messages.

If protobufs had one canonical encoding, B could unpack the message and re-pack it when done; with the current protobuf implementation, B needs to keep the original blob around. In either case, C needs to check the signature on whatever blob it receives.

You only get famous if you produce a new order that replaces the old one. Throwing stones at the old order doesn't actually get you very much unless you provide something better.

Especially in psych/bio, a negative finding can almost always be blamed on the experimentalist -- even more so if they are young. It is no great feat to conduct a study so poorly that fail to detect a signal others have reported.
For me, it is almost the opposite. I can't get into games that are highly "stateful" anymore. I find that the only games I can consistently play for relaxation are games like match-based FPSs that I'd call "stateless". The anxiety about wasting time hits me when I'm looking down at an empire in Civ or a growing base in DF or my stats pane in an RPG. When I can see evidence of how much time I've spent building an imaginary artifact, I inevitably come to the conclusion that I have better things to do.

Maybe another way to look at this is that I can't get into games that feel like projects. Building a base in DF is a project. If I'm going to be working on a project, why not a programming project that will actually create value in my life and others'? With something like Overwatch (team-based FPS with 15-30 minute matches) on the the other hand, it feels more like an activity, like watching a movie or playing a sport. I feel comfortable playing it for two hours one day and picking it back up the next day or the next week or just whenever I want to spend some time relaxing.

Wages are nothing like stagnant over a 100 year timeline, they've grown massively.

Also, when you say "wages stay stagnant and cost of living rises," you make it sound like real wages have gone down. That's not the case. Nominal wages have increased, but nominal cost of living has also increased, so real wages have been stagnant (on a 30 year, not 100 year, timeline).

This was years ago; I'd feel bad asking you to do a lot of work to support one niche use case in a research project that never quite made it to market. And protobufs ended up saving us quite a bit of development work, even if keeping the blob around is Wrong in a moral sense.

(You can find the niche use case in a response to your sibling comment, BTW.)

So, you're saying there's no intellectually-consistent reason that anyone would oppose depending on Russian rocket engines for national security-related launches, while being for more competition in the rocket launch market?

Also, you should note that the entire point of a carbon tax is to replace everything in your middle paragraph with something that's more intellectually-consistent.

Telling someone else that they aren't intellectually consistent almost never works. You'll almost always get a reply, "You're misrepresenting my statements, and failing to understand my argument" -- not a good opening to a good discussion.

I agree he maybe didn't connect them crisply, but I think the general idea is that even though staying in the EU has a higher net value for the British economy, that value is not being distributed to the working class who voted to leave. Instead it is collected at the top by a wealthy elite of land and business owners. It's a problem of team incentives (net UK economy) being misaligned with individual incentives (individual worker quality of life).

There's a different workflow. I always feel like I'm fighting the IDE, the instant I do anything that is even slightly off the beaten path. And they're complicated: everything about the IDEs that I've used seems to be an overcomplicated mess of settings, options, and menus, whereas in emacs, I could just put a single config option into my init.el to do what I want instead of jumping through all those hoops just to get to the setting. This is a problem compounded by the fact that Java, the only language I've used in an IDE, has a complicated development environment and multiple complex build systems, meaning you HAVE to fiddle with things to a fairly large extent.

To further things, it's rare for an IDE to be as programmable and configurable as emacs, or even close. It's considered above and beyond the ordinary to write extensions for most IDEs: the job of an extension is to add some big feature, like support for a new programming language. My first emacs "extension" was a simple function that wrapped around some actions I found myself constantly using in sequence, so I could type one command sequence instead of six. It wasn't something I wanted to dedicate a macro to, I just wanted a command to exist that would do what I wanted.

And then, 5 minutes later, I had one.
As others have noted, LC is hardly trendy crap and you might say that 80% of CS is just trying to find more natural names for LC.

But what I'll say is that LC has done a lot for you lately. It, alongside Turing Machines, formed the basis for pretty much all of CS research and programming language design since the beginning of the 20th century. It has heavily influenced the design of probably every programming language you've ever used.

LC pretty much defines the notion of lexical scope. It pretty much defines the notion of constant and nearly defines the idea of variable as used in most languages. It gives a quick proof that recursion arises naturally even in very simple linguistic situations. In fact, it even gives the name of the very website you're reading right now.

LC is a huge force for how people are have been forming new ideas around Functional Programming over the last few decades and how they continue to now.

LC is hugely important. You don't have to learn it because it's already been pre-digested into everything you do in programming. But to not know it is to miss out on seeing the core of how your tools work.

> You'll find yourself modded up and down over this. In a purely intellectual sense, it is definitely a shame that the coup failed. The turkish miliatry has a history of stepping in when a government no longer adheres to the pricipals of the republic, specifically in relation to secularism.

Preferably after a bloody purge. It has a distinguished history of organizing death squads, torture, murder of political opponents, and probably a few false flag operations, not to mention a cozy relationship with business interests. This, obviously, doesn't make Erdogan into a nice guy, but the rosy picture many people outside of Turkey seem to have of these good old secular generals risking it all to uphold their moral values isn't, IMHO, supported by facts.

It's common practice for folks building Go binaries (but not libraries) to check in the code for their dependencies. So whenever you build Docker, you get the same thing unless Docker made a change (either by changing Docker itself or explicitly checking in an upgrade to a dep).

There are a few nice things about it; vendoring means you won't have a dependency on other repos or archives being available, and if you're a binary maintainer you can see source changes in your own code and that of your dependencies side-by-side if you're, say, investigating a bug that came up between certain revisions.

The not-so-nice things are pretty much what you'd think. There isn't a command to say "give me upgrades, but not ones that the author flagged as breaking changes". If you're writing a _library_ that is depended on by other _libraries_ there is no one conventional way to safely do breaking changes, so there's a lot of effort to avoid those changes plus sometimes hacks like different repo paths for different versions.

Part of the history is that, internally, Google's got one version of third-party code in the latest rev of their source control tree, by company policy. You upgrade something for one, you upgrade it for the whole codebase. Sounds daunting, but they have lots of testing, canary servers, and so on to catch problems. There is a great talk about some of this by Rachel Potvin (can't recall if it covers the third_party/ stuff specifically):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W71BTkUbdqE

So Go's initial model didn't consider multiple versions of packages because Google had approached upgrades a different way internally. Of course, unlike Google, Go users on the outside will never have any central mechanism to keep all the world in sync when there are API changes. Hence the conversation today about package management.
That applies to each and every decission. If we accept this argument, policy discussions are meaningless.

Let's be less theoretical: if Britain does much better than the EU it could be due to:

1) EU was bad for UK

2) The UK is abusing its new position (tax heaven, ...)

3) ??

If the UK does much worse than EU, this means:

1) EU was good for UK

2) EU is bullying UK

3) ??

So we'll be able to see what is happening.

I wasn't trying to imply that paying for Google drive would eliminate the data monetization model. In fact, the terms of service appear to be identical for free or paid if you're using Google Drive for personal use, so perhaps that's where the disconnect is.

However, it's interesting to note that Google mentions that they are willing to negotiate the terms of service for businesses using the paid Apps service: note that additional terms may apply for negotiated Google Apps agreements.

In the case of HIPAA compliance for healthcare, or data privacy compliance requirements for industries that store files with personally identifiable information (PII) in the cloud, I wonder if Google would amend the TOS to include server-side encryption, or other safeguards, which would mitigate the issue.

This is something I will investigate further, as I'm not sure what the answer is.

Regardless of what a Google Product Manager states (marketing rhetoric or current policy), Google's legally binding terms of service are the only terms that matter at the end of the day:

Our automated systems analyze your content (including emails) to provide you personally relevant product features, such as customized search results, tailored advertising, and spam and malware detection. This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored.

It would be great if Google updated their terms to be clearer. In the mean time I'll take their word on it.
I think this is a very valid question. For me, the undeniable fingerprint of Gulenists is the fact that police chiefs dismissed for affiliation with Gulen were caught inside the military tanks. There are videos of it and I don't see any other logical explanation for catching suspicious civilians in military vehicles during a coup.

For people who followed the last 10 years of the Turkish politics, the Gulenist affiliation is obvious but I think it is still very hard to explain it to people who are exposed for the first time. Before Erdogan, the Turkish military was actively cracking down on the Gulenist infiltration and it is 40 years old subject with hard to believe but proved multiple times conspiracies.

Gulenists always abuse the benefit of doubt and as a secretive cult usually the evidences against them have some kind of explanation and all these strange coincidences are tagget as normal. After all, there is nothing stopping the Lottery from winning on the 1 2 3 4 5 6 numbers every time, its just improbable so it is not 100.000000% guarantied to be fraud.
At least here in NC, there's no statewide mandate, to the best of my knowledge, regarding public access (in terms of checking books out) to university libraries. But, at the same time, most - if not all - of them do allow members of the public to purchase a library card and to checkout books. Even some private universities do so. Duke[1] for example, has a program where unaffiliated visitors can get borrowing privileges. It does cost a minimum of $100.00 though. :-(

OTOH, to the best of my knowledge, most of the public university libraries (and perhaps even some of the private ones) will let anyone walk in and view/read books in the library itself, for no fee. I know at least last time I was at the big new library at NC State, anybody could walk in and browse with no problem.
