Hi~~Thank you for your comment~~Are you sure about KAT and torrentz not requiring Javascript though?
A lot of people in India can write in Hindi or English, but not the local language. They don't bother to learn how. For example my fiancée is a native Telugu speaker but she can't write a word in it. There's also a very significant amount of people who can't read or write in any language. It would make using the Internet very difficult.
Why stagger the keys?
I have been using the Kinesis Freestyle on my Mac with the VIP accessory pads and it is very comfortable. I place the two parts of the keyboard on the sides of my 15" MBP.
Focusing on 'Culture' is blinding you to what's going on. Tribal cultures are inherently economically inferior due to scaling issues. Western culture is not the only way forward, but the limitation is not the specific ideas, but rather the level of organizational structure.

Stable and mature underground economy's for example operate based on reputation not just tribe. As allegiance to even arbitrary tribes (crips vs bloods) limits commerce. Nation states are arbitrary and transitory, however when larger groups of people limit us vs. them to those outside the nation the internal economy's has fewer self imposed barriers.

PS: China demonstrates other failure points, but as a very non western culture they still show the same trends.

> You don't think of lists as a string of pointers when evaluating ML,

No, it's not. The Definition of Standard ML says absolutely nothing about lists or strings being implemented as pointers. Lists and strings are values.

> and it's the same thing.

It's not.

> That's not the earthshaking difference you seem to think it is.

It is. Values have a nontrivial equational theory that enables two syntactically different programs to be deemed equal using local reasoning exclusively. That is, without observing the effect of a computation on its much larger context. This in turn enables much more aggressive optimizations, both by hand and automatic, than are possible if all you have is object identities.

> In fact, values and objects are two aspects of the same thing.

Nope. Values are the more fundamental notion, mathematically. Object identities are but a particular kind of value, and so are object states in any mathematically civilized language.

> At the end of the day, lists are still chains of pointers, mutable or no, "object" or "value" (and I have to put it in quotes because your definition isn't in any way the common one).

Lists aren't chains of pointers when I evaluate them on paper. A list is just a sequence of elements. But even when working on a computer, using actual lists has concrete benefits, for example, the compiler is free to apply optimizations like “gluing” consecutive nodes to improve locality of reference (in the generated program) and ease the job on the garbage collector (assuming the list is used in a single-threaded fashion). In the limit, it's as if I had used a C++-style `std::vector`! When all you have is object identities, this optimization is obviously unsound.
That's really poignant.

I've had experiences like these at tech companies (long hours + expected to work on the weekends). No thanks. I'm glad my current NYC employer doesn't ask any more than 40 hours.

But yeah, finance is another scary world.

Good. We're finally seeing people migrating to the better platform =)

This article is addressing that most of the GCE services are simpler and a lot easier to use and manage than the AWS counterpartS. (That final S being important, having many small and unpolished pieces just contribute to the complexity.)

It goes hand in hand with what I had already written about the platform. Expect GCE to be 20-50% cheaper and 1-3x faster:

https://thehftguy.wordpress.com/2016/06/15/gce-vs-aws-in-201...

https://thehftguy.wordpress.com/2016/06/22/a-simple-cost-com...

When you see that GCE has less market revenues, you should keep in mind that GCE could be half the price of AWS in average (yep, no kidding). That means the actual gap in customers is way smaller than it appears at first sight ;)

With that being said. Both platforms are relatively new and spinning services like mad, they both have important features missing (albeit not the same ones.)
Self driving cars eventually need to be able to work in places other than deserts and moderate coastal areas. You need "boots on the ground" so to speak; you can't really break new ground remotely, on the problems they need to solve, with any efficiency.
Cockroach milk: The next superfood
Nice upgrade. One minor change I would have liked is the relocation of the led lights. I've placed a wireless trackpad in the middle and it covers the led lights, so I don't always notice immediately that I've (or my cat) accidentally activated the Keypad. But I suppose the new non-rubbery MX function keys will eliminate such accidental keystrokes.

Oh, and wireless would have been nice too.

Missing: the 2-port usb hub on the back?
I can recommend the ErgoDox. It's somwhat similar and DIY, but much cheaper. For mine I payed not much over 100€.

DVDs and Blurays are region locked. I can buy the DVD, but I'm not allowed by law to modify my DVD player to change it from my current region to a region free device.

This is one of the problems with copyright laws - creeping scope to make normal sensible actions illegal. Why is it illegal for me to modify my DVD player to play a DVD I've had to import (at great personal expense) and that is not available (and probably won't ever be available) in my region?

There's a bunch of these.
If you're looking for a mechanical ergonomic keyboard that you can also easily take with you, I suggest taking a look at Atreus[0], a 42-key column-staggered keyboard.

I got one a while back. Haven't gotten around to publishing my build log, but building the keyboard was a lot of fun.

With the somewhat steep learning curve out of the way, I've been really enjoying it and gone are the days of wrist pain.

Oh, and I'm in no way affiliated with Phil or the project, just a very happy user dropping his 2¢ here.

I agree with all of your point except for the beta woes. If I'm building a production product I would much rather they be upfront about when products are still "beta" and under heavy development as opposed to shipping a buggy and unreliable product that I only realize is in that state after I stick x GB of data in it or start making x req/s.

For example at a previous job we were "early" adopters of Amazon Redshift and it gave us no end of troubles. That should definitely be labeled "beta" until they sort those issues out.
This reminds of something...

As a kid, I played the game "Neuromancer" (1989, Interplay) which is based on the book of the same name by William Gibson. The images of "decks" (portable computers) always struck me as odd and quite visually disconnected from the combination appearance of my Amiga 500 and its Commodore monitor. And yet, looking at a MacBook Pro from the front or side, it looks a great deal like those renderings of decks in that game (minus some of the features that make the images in the game more than just rounded rectangles). I know laptops existed earlier than that time, but to think they got a futuristic drawing so right it astounds me (not that we're quite to "deck" level with tech just yet).

Screenshot from the game:

Edit:
I guess it's not a big jump though, considering these were some contemporary laptops of 1989:

copyright applies everywhere on Earth.

So, still not an issue.
This is definitely worth asking on one of the Stack Overflow or one of the Stack Exchange sites.
> one of the main uses of swearing is insulting people

>Interesting. That's neither how I use it nor how I see it used around me. To me the main uses seem to be to express brief but intense emotion (your thumb/hammer case, but note that similar uses can convey surprise, awe, etc. as well as pain or annoyance), to add emphasis ("shit, that thing's fucking huge", "of course he can afford it -- this is Bill bloody Gates we're talking about", etc.), and to express disapproval ("don't buy that phone, it's a piece of shit").

Hence, "one of the main cases", not just the sole one. Besides, the latter case "it's a piece of shit" is still for insulting, just not a person but a product/company. It's not a critique or neutral disapproval, it's a dis.

>The last of those can be used to insult ("you arsehole!") but perhaps I move in particularly civilized circles because it's quite rare and almost always applied to people who aren't present (politicians, leaders of predatory businesses, etc.)

Not so sure about "civilized circles" -- except if we're talking about full California/Whole Foods/sandals and candlesticks kind of civilized. In my experience, you'll find those insults every day in any kind of circle, from the upper echelons of banking and Wall Street (heck, especially there), to truck drivers.

>When I hear people object to swearing on religious grounds (which, admittedly, is not very often) they are never objecting only to insults and expressions of hostility and, e.g., objections to swearing on television are never concerned only with such cases.

Perhaps, but they emphasized such cases, not merely hitting your thumb cases.

>OK, so tell me what you know about the moral norms surrounding language use in the 1st-century Roman-occupied Middle East, and how that enables you to know that saying "shit" or "fuck" today is the equivalent of what Jesus and St Paul were talking about.

Quite a lot. Reading history books can do that to a person.

I'm not even sure what you're asking though. Jesus explicitly mentioned some expressions that are exact equivalents of today's swear words ("idiot", "jerk", etc). Of course not all of them, but we can easily extrapolate the others.

Besides, we have lists of what's considered swearing, rules against swearing etc in Ancient Greece, Ancient Roman Empire, the Byzantium, China, Medieval Europe, etc. Maybe read a tome on the history of profanity and swearing and the cultural norms around them? There are several, both regional and all-around surveys.

Here's a recent one in English: https://www.amazon.com/Holy-Sh-Brief-History-Swearing/dp/019...

>but it seems to me exactly not the sort of thing Jesus ever says

What do you mean? Jesus explicitly says in Matthew: "who calls his brother an idiot" will be condemned etc.

Weird. I have not had this issue. I'll ask my co-worker on Monday if he has; he's been using this keyboard for like 8 years.

There's no reason for manual really unless you do races or don't want to pay premium for auto. As I understand, there's no financial disincentive for automatic in America, hence most opt for the most convenient option.
What are some examples what the macro function can be used for? In many cases the macros I need are so specific such that I define them on the fly in VIM (i.e. q [a-z] and then q to stop, finally @ [a-z] for playback). Perhaps I simply don't write enough for macros to take advantage of more permanent macros.
> built like tanks

I got mine 12 years ago, still have the same one as my primary keyboard. I replaced the enter key about 3 years ago, because I'm pretty hard on keyboards, frequently breaking space bars, etc., within a year before I got a kinesis. 2 weeks ago, I was having an issue with a row of keys going unresponsive intermittently. I emailed support and they sent back detailed instructions for checking inside the keyboard, despite the product being 12 years old. The issue went away before I could try to fix it.

I don't have any other computer equipment that's as tough.

>You should check out Racket's macro system. It's a lot more sophisticated than Common Lisp's. Common Lisp macros are to C (e.g., gensym is a macro-level malloc, you need to manually destructure S-expressions, etc.) as Racket macros are to ML and Haskell (syntax objects are aware of which variables are in scope, so automatic fresh name generation is possible; user-defined syntax classes and patterns let you process arbitrarily complicated structures in a sane way, etc.). If you like the idea of metaprogramming, but `defmacro` left you with a bad taste in the mouth, Racket is totally the language for you.

Better yet, check out some other schemes. ir, er, and sc macros has the raw procedurual power of defmacro, but with the hygene and safety of syntax-case/syntax-rules, without the declarative syntax of syntax-rules, and the disadvantages of syntax-case (stupidly complex, breaking the standard macro abstraction with syntax/datum distinctions, etc.).

Given, syntax-case has some advantages, but I don't think it carries its own weight from a programmer's perspective.
what font is used for the main text?
I have used the original edition of this keyboard for some years now, and it is amazing. By far the best keyboard I have ever used. While I prefer the Cherry Blues on my older Das Keyboard, the layout of the Kinesis Advantage is incredibly comfortable and quite efficient. It does take some remapping to make it work well with Emacs, but that's all done with the keyboard firmware itself (i.e. no driver software needed).
I wonder what the cost of this was, given the famous degree of rigor displayed by NASA in the development and testing of their control software.

Raspberry Pi: The Ultimate Convenience
I completely agree with you. I'm really excited about Elm, specially because of the quality of everything in the community and ecosystem, but to say that the syntax is better than HTML or that it is readable by non-programmers is a bit of a stretch.

When I first ran into Elm the first thing I looked for was an alternate syntax of some sort.

The tech is amazing and I truly believe we got something here that will last, but not because of the syntax.

The thing is that people have been running small inns/B&B's (and renting vacation homes) forever as something between a formal business and some money on the side. There were online listing services before AirBnB and paper listings in various tourist catalogs before that.

AirBnB is just another listing service in that context. Today, if you run any sort of bed and breakfast and can't deal with computer listings, online reservations, etc. you're at an enormous disadvantage compared to your competition. I know that if I can't immediately check availability online and have to email--or heaven forbid call--I'm much less likely to book your property.

What's mostly different about AirBnB is a lot of the quasi-legal rental of properties that aren't really B&Bs or vacation properties.
The slightly better gas mileage? Though now with CVTs that are computer-controlled, they get better gas mileage than cars with standard/maunual transmissions.
Absolutely not the case.

Here in Australia city and state hospitality organisations are very vocal in opposition to airbnb. The usual argument is why should they be paying to meet licensing/safety requirements when airbnb hosts can rent out their home without regulation. I'd guess 90%+ of these premises are standalone homes.

In my city the local council just announced plans to limit a property to 42 nights of airbnb per year, or face significant fines. Not sure it'll stick.

I'm guessing you don't suffer from wrist pain. I'm fortunate that after 30 years of typing every day, I'm still pain free, but I work with people that struggle with it. For them, if a $350 keyboard makes the pain go away, it's the easiest money to spend ever.
Funny was thinking something similarly. As much as I enjoy working when I want to, deadlines and avoidance of failure is killing me. I would never give up programming but for the past week it's a struggle to bring myself to spend even a half hour of writing code. The need to get things done has blocked me from getting into other things but the frustration I feel from a single problem when I sit down is causing me to get nothing done.

A shepherd's flock is essentially his passive sustenance. A lifestyle where you're physically active every day and don't have to answer to anyone all the time is my idea of freedom. We've all succumbed to tech and toys and while I can simulate reality on my phone I don't think I'm living a better life than people 200 years ago. I think there is a boredom that sometimes arises if we cannot exert our intellect to create something, but life costs too much to work at a leisure pace.

That's a very noble approach, but I don't understand how it relates to not showing non-users current dreams? Is it that you have to pay to even view dreams? I didn't get that from the home page. I think at the very least you need to demonstrate to potential users what the product does, otherwise (I think) few people will sign-up for something they don't really understand.
Quantum Mechanics is real and has an important role in the low level "implementation" of Chemistry (I make my living from that). But this article is full of misleading (or almost wrong) parts.

> Genes turned out to be made from a single molecule of DNA, which is a kind of molecular string with nucleotide bases (the genetic letters) strung out like beads. [...]And, just as Schrödinger predicted, ‘every group of atoms’ does indeed play ‘an individual role’, with the position of even individual protons – a quantum property – determining each genetic letter. There can be few more prescient predictions in the entire history of science. The colour of your eyes, the shape of your nose, and aspects of your character, intelligence or propensity for disease are encoded at the quantum level.

This can also apply for the position of the atoms in a salt crystal, or the molecule of nitrogen in the air, or water or everything in the universe. So it's not relate to life at all.

> Photosynthesis is the most important biochemical reaction on the planet. [...] This energy transport process has long fascinated researchers because it can be so efficient – close to 100 per cent. How is it that green leaves can transport energy so much better than our most sophisticated technologies?

It's not very clear what he is talking about, but photosynthesis has many steps, and the global efficiency is very low (1%?). There are a few recent results of quantum coherence in one of the intermediate steps but 100% even in one step is completely unbelievable. Most of the steps transform one molecule into another and each can "store" a definite energy amount, so the excess must be wasted.
