> Over the past year and a half I have become accustomed to the idea that I get to run free applications on my phone in exchange for being shown semi-frequent ads. This tended not to bother me most of the time, except when Android apps would suddenly show me full screen videos at high volume.

Really? I installed AdAway [1] on my Android phone and since then I have seen no ads. Zero.

The only issue is that some legitimate apps don't work, because they pull content from sits which are blacklisted (mostly stock ticker apps). I feel that's a small price to pay for not having battery and data sucking ads during my phone experience.

Yes, it requires root to install the hosts file. That's basically a one time event (I rarely update the list and still never see ads) and the battery impact is none because the ad blocking works at DNS level (as opposed to say, a system-wide proxy)

"Is this:
while (foo != '\0') {
bar++ = foo++;
}
really that much nicer than this:
while (i != len) {
bar[i++] = foo[i++];
}"

Not visually, but the latter increments i twice in every loop :-). It also typically uses an extra register and requires an explicit 'compare with zero'. Both mattered more 40+ years ago.

That's debatable. The enforceability of an EULA depends on the details of the situation.

Many are not a contract, which has specific requirements. Even when an EULA is a contract, unconscionable parts - perhaps a clause that is clearly about a "dark pattern" scam - can be nullified.

Your post shows you take the media 100% at their word, especially considering there's only circumstantial evidence for most of your claims of Russia's wrongdoing. Anyhow, I don't wish to debate those, they've been beat to death here and elsewhere.

As for Russians' somewhat positive opinion about Stalin, it might have to do with the Great Patriotic War aka. World War 2, in which some 20% of citizens of the USSR were casualties. Think of the scale of their suffering, the threat they faced, and the fact that Stalin was their leader when they fought back and defeated Nazi Germany.

The US has never in its whole history suffered catastrophes even close to what Russia has suffered multiple times in the last century. You have to remember that when you think about why Russia is the way it is today (it actually goes for most eastern slavs - my grandparents were Ukrainian and the slavic psyche you could say is a mix of stoicism and cynicism - probably due to constant conflict and catastrophe, invasions by enemies, brutal despots not to mention the harsh climate).

The same, but not necessarily from the same timeline. It may not even be the same guy, but the same story. Or maybe not the same at all. Here's the best summary of ideas I've found:

> Tom Hardy also spoke on this issue by saying, "We have to take it differently as George is taking it. It's a relaunch and revisit to the world. An entire restructuring. That's not to say that it's not picking up or leaving off from the Mad Max you know already, but it's a nice re-take on the entire world using the same character, depositing him in the same world but bringing him up to date by 30 years." On the other hand, Charlize Theron also said that Hardy wasn't playing Mel Gibson's character. They just happen to be both named Max Rockatanski. In fact, Miller stated with the 30 year gap since the last film and a new actor playing the lead, it was just easier to do a new version of the film without maintaining any continuity. The easiest way Miller puts it is to think of each film as a "legend of the Road Warrior" meaning that each film is a story about Mad Max that happened, but perhaps told by different people and so some things are altered from each story.

Not pedantry.

A startup is usually understood to be a company which is formed to test a new market or disrupt an existing one. The fast growth thing is not necessarily true since new markets are often not there. But to describe just any new company as a startup is very misleading both in terms of describing risk, but especially to potential employees.

This isn't to knock the value of entrepreneurship: there is quite a bit of virtue in starting a company that wants to tap an existing market. All things considered, these companies will likely do much better over the long run than most startup companies which end up failing.
A private car driving from one subway station to another subway station _on the same line_ will generally be slower than a train. But most journeys require a change of lines, and most journeys require walking at either end.

But aside from that, perhaps we're just traveling to/from different places, and hence have a different set of experiences. Here are some specific examples of journeys that are almost always faster for me by car than by public transport.

- Dongzhimen area (5 mins walk from the station) to Financial Street (10 mins walk from Fuchengmen station)

- Jiaodaokou to Tuspark in Wudaokou

- Jiaodaokou to Xi'erqi

- Anywhere to Sanlitun (except on Fri/Sat night)
The good news is that's fairly easy to fix! When I graduated college, I failed my first twelve interviews before making a serious effort to get better. The main thing that helped was actually just practicing in front of a mirror–taking common questions and watching my body language while I did. I immediately noticed several problems–e.g., I never smiled–and with a few days' practice, was then able to pass all the interviews I had afterwards.

Is my browser uniquely identifiable? Yes! This is no surprise, not anymore at least.

I pass the first three tests here, but fingerprinting does the trick. About one in 50k browsers has the same fonts as me. About one in 30k browsers have the same addons and plugins. I bet those two don't overlap. Then there are several other variables like language that narrow it down if that is still needed.

They could try to explain how to make a browser not uniquely identifiable however. What browser configuration is not unique? What do I have to do to get that?

> DSC has 15 percent of the market, by volume.

I'm struggling to see how that's possible.

- The highest count of their subscribers I've seen is 3 million. Let's round that to 5 million.

- There are about 160 million adult males in the USA.
http://countrymeters.info/en/United_States_of_America_(USA)

- Assume that only half shave with a cartridge razor: 80 million.

- Using such conservative figures, at a ceiling that means DSC has 5 / 80 of the possible subscriber market, or 6.25%.

Unless each subscriber is buying nearly three times as many blades as normal...?

> Because first-class functions aren't “code as data”. When you have a first-class function, the only thing you can do with it is call it. If it were a data structure, you could analyze its constituent parts.

There are lots of ways in which you can treat a first class function as data, even if it can't be treated 100% equivalently to data in every single situation. You can, for example, pass it to other functions like data. Sure, most languages don't let you inspect the internals, but that's only one way of treating code as data.

> The emphasized part is just what I said. That a mathematical function is a mapping from values to values is unquestionable - it's not something I'm saying, it's a mathematical fact. So if you can't express compound values, you're limited to a world where mathematical functions can only manipulate primitive values.

I said, "And to be honest, other languages have done a lot better things with the functional programming aspects of Common Lisp." Common Lisp isn't a purely functional language, but it does have functional aspects. Note in the article I quoted, that Common Lisp is the first language listed in the "prominent programming languages which support functional programming such as" section.

You're literally not even disagreeing with me, you're just defining "functional programming language" as "purely functional programming language", when I literally never even called Common Lisp a functional programming language.

Insisting on your definitions instead of trying to understand what I said doesn't make me want to engage with you further.
Taipei, Taiwan.

* Clean and modern.

* Very safe.

* Nice people.

* Excellent public transportation.

* Good housing (relatively inexpensive).

* Great restaurants (extremely inexpensive).

* Low sales tax.

* Mandarin is a fun language to learn.

Also, $150-200 buys you a round-trip ticket to almost any other major city in Asia, so experiencing a new culture is just another way to spend a weekend. Taiwan's Eva Air and China Airlines are also excellent.

> How often do transforms need to reach all the way in like that?

In my experience, almost every time XSLT is used on real-world documents, those are documents with multiple namespaces. XSLT stylesheets themselves are also documents that have multiple namespaces. Example: Atom feeds often contain XHTML content. It is a common problem with RSS that it does not specify if the content of an element is HTML or plain text.

I have found that arguments that doubt a feature is necassary from people who can not imagine use cases are almost invariably wrong, while arguments that doubt a feature is necessary from people who list use cases and why they think those are better solved otherwise or even left unsolved are often right. Your post seems like an example of the former; would you say that complex real-world content with namespaces could sway you in favor of them?

My dad was an immunologist.

By all accounts he was absolutely brilliant. I lost him the day after my 9th birthday in 1982. I grew up with a series of George Washington Cherry Tree kind of stories about him permeating everything.

There's a lot of pressure growing up being the only son of a very accomplished person - having the responsibility of filling shoes that just can't be filled. It got to the point where I started being skeptical. Nature of being a teen/young adult I suppose. In the mid-90's I was having a conversation with my Uncle and he tells me how before he died, my Dad was hell-bent on the Nobel prize. He was going to win it by curing cancer. He told me "the key is in the T-cells. He was always 20 years ahead of his time." I took it with a grain of salt at the time. Another tall tale.

Some years later in 2002 I'm reading an article and lo and behold there's promising research coming around that T-Cell treatment is yielding positive research in cancer. And now I read this article, scroll down a little, and there's a diagram highlighting the T-Cell.

A few years after that I end up working at Stanford and that gave me access to old news articles that aren't up on the web, and a lot of scholarly things that aren't typically in search engine results. I was absolutely floored to discover that the tall tales weren't tall tales at all. They were just stories from people who were honestly proud of him and what he did (even if they didn't understand most of it). I tracked down a few of his colleagues and I'll tell you - it was pretty powerful hearing from some very accomplished people about the work that he did and the kind of man he was.

When you think about it, there has been more progress in medicine in the last 80 years than in the previous 800. It's pretty stinking amazing if you ask me. And most of it has been made by people who's names you'll never hear or read about.

This article brought a lot of memories back to me so I thought I'd share. Miss you dad.

Dialogue is now a playing field of TV series. In Mad Men, for example, all they do is talk all the time. Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Girls and other similar shows are very dialogue-heavy. Add to that what most established mainstream film directors (Fincher, Soderbergh etc) say about TV series: "Feature-length films are not relevant and TV is where most of the development happens in this sector of art" (something I personally don't think is true) and you get the drift.
