A data structure server is a nice and lofty goal for that I think. It has networking, command/protocol parsing, async operation, nice data-structure work so fairly well rounded project.

I don't think everyone was naysayer about your submission. Some including me were confused about the purpose since it reflects how we should look at it. If it was done to explore redis like server but with different priorities/knob everyone would have wanted to explore if that helps their use cases or how that affect the tool. Since its for learning the focus might be how readable/understandable the code is and maybe trying to learn from it themselves.

I hope you learn the kind of things you were planning to.

Criminal and civil trial instructions for juries are drastically different. Heck, trial instructions for different issues within either domain can be drastically different, too.

It boggles the fucking mind that they didn't run a small-scale test, with enough money to make it worthwhile for people to test the contract, but not so much that it would have created all of this drama.

Spending $10,000 to test a project that I've heard is worth $150 million seems like a no-brainer decision.

I've thought this way about other books, and seen this thought expressed about The Checklist Manifesto ("it should have been a 20 page pamphlet"). But I feel that most of the length (say, at least 75% of the book's published length) is necessary and justified.

Not because the concept itself requires so many pages to understand, but because it takes several repeated high-profile examples of checklists making a big difference, before the feeling of "it's just a checklist, what's the big deal" - that a lot of people express upon hearing the idea first - is replaced with understanding and internalization.
Thanks for your wonderful work.

I think as a rule of thumb government money will always flow in the direction where self interests of politicians and government servants are better served.

Building a road is a time tested government program. It is mature, there is lots of competition and opportunity for publicity or kickbacks is limited. The profit margins of the road construction companies are pretty thin too. I dont think politicians benefit by building a road or bridge. Today they benefit by having outrageous programs like high speed train that will not see light of the day for decades to come (or probably never) or transmitting American programs into Cuba (which the cubans cant hear because the signal is blocked).

The only way is to put a hard constitutional limit on the government spending as a % of GDP. The government is then forced to take measure to increase GDP if they want to subsidize education of Chinese prostitutes or spend $$$ on study effects of LSD on monkeys.

At a certain point, I think Google could probably defend this even to outsiders with "we're too important".

It might be good if Youtube or something else big-but-tangential was on the line when GCE changes went out. Search, though? It dropped globally for 2 minutes in 2013, and took out 40% of internet traffic in the process. There's a real argument that it's critical infrastructure like little else, since Google and Bing are the way most users have of reaching sites other than the core Facebook-Amazon-Yahoo locations.

More dogfooding wouldn't be a bad change overall, but people counting on Search and Gmail would probably prefer a minimal-downtime solution no matter how it's implemented.
Those are just two product categories well-known for their manipulation of the nutrition facts label, and there are definitely millions of consumers that think they confer health benefits as a result of how the nutrition facts label was manipulated.

Most people think VitaminWater is healthy, and feel like they're doing something good for their body when they drink it. They'd probably be more discerning and come to a better conclusion about that product if you completely removed its nutrition facts label.
The main difference between Slimfast and Soylent seems to be that the makers of SlimFast assume you like food, and the makers of Soylent assume you hate food. The attitudes behind a lot of this sort of food tech seems to be a kind of religious asceticism--as if actually enjoying food, cooking it and eating it, ties you too closely to the material world.
Are they really "giving shit to OP" though? I feel like the criticism was presented pretty politely. They pointed out that it's offtopic and that it's not intentional, and they provided an alternative.

That said, I can understand people being touchy about this, as these issues have become very polarised. PC should be about helping people choose to use inclusive language, but some people choose to shame people for getting wrong.

I now ignore their calls.

Several years ago they sent me on 3 job interviews. The skill sets matched up nicely and the companies were nice, but none of the companies could meet my salary/benefits requirements (which weren't that extreme given my experience and other postings around). Randstad knew my requirements and sent me there anyway. I was able to find one of the company's public posting of the position (afterwards) with their offered salary range and it wasn't close.

They essentially wasted my time, and the company's time sending me on interviews that were highly unlikely to land an accepted job offer.

Add this to all of the contract or contract-to-hire positions they kept trying to push on me despite me being adamant that all I wanted was direct hire/full time.
Fast.com is a lot slower than both speedtest.net and http://speedtest.dslreports.com/speedtest for me... I get 78mbps on fast.com and 350 on the other two. Not sure what's going on? Maybe they don't have servers near me, I'm in Paris, France.

Indeed, at least with Tox, all I need is a separate key exchange, somewhere. In person works wonders. So does random email, or instant message, or you name it.

At least for communications that need that layer of security and anonymity, it's certainly there. And as I implied, rubber hoses won't work on anonymous and encrypted digital identities "somewhere else".

At least regarding Silk Road, that's because he made amateur mistakes by posting his real name and then changing it on StackExchange, about making a e-commerce .onion website.

And that was the beginning of his fuckups, with the final one by paying for an assassination attempt.

But I think what you are saying actually is an argument for @piinbinary's idea of "static analisys".

If you can't really test your change, then the other thing you can do is try to rationally analyse its consequences. After all thats why "hopefully there's a throrough code review".

Wouldn't it be nice to automate some of that analysis? I have no idea how to go about such a thing, or whether it is even possible -- but the harder testing gets, the more attractive this option is.

Code is read much more often than it is written. That's why I prefer APL's symbols over J's ASCII clutter.
doesn't have to be. it can be measured against defined standards - documentation, tests, clear naming, complexity metrics, etc. it's not just a case of "half of everything is above average".

I used to compare my code to my previous code and other code I saw, and most of the time it was 'good'. When I started comparing my code to more external measures, most of my own code would now be 'poor', because of the external things it didn't measure up to. Now, often, there were valid reasons for cutting corners, but... that doesn't make the code itself better, it just justified the poor quality.

Seems about every decade there's a resurgence of interest in AI and 'chat bots' that always ends with the same conclusion. I wrote a similar article over 20 years ago titled 'Why the Loebner prize will never be won'. There's a great quote; 'The real technology, behind all the other technology, is language'. Unless this can get figured out, artificial sentient beings with capabilities like those found in sci-fi will remain wishful thinking, and that isn't happening anytime soon.

Let's come back and revisit this in 10 years.
I think the point was they conduct the speed test from the same servers that deliver video content. So ISPs can't throttle video streaming without it showing up in this speed test.

Most election/political polls use far less data and very big decisions get made because of them.
And Apple doesn't have a business model, either direct or indirect, for collecting and using your data? We're in the age of context. Every company that wants to play in this game needs as much data as they can get about you. Apple is no exception, but they're going to use their PR machine to deflect the negative connotations surrounding it.
In fact it is a very hard engineering problem, which doesn't exclude a "philosophical" one. There's a line of research surrounding anthropomimetic robots with the specific task of studying cognition, going back at least a decade.

Too easy to have that undone by a security update later. Better to physically disable the ports (fill them with epoxy for example). Much more foolproof and easy to verify.
The problem is also that the content they serve is displayed on the consumer's property (computer). The owner of the computer has the right to select what portion of the crap he's been served will be displayed. If Facebook (or any other company that relies on targeted ads as a business model) do not like that, they have the right to not send their content to the consumer's property. But, once they send it, they do not have right to force me to look at it. (Not a legal opinion, I'm just giving my perspective)

> Open-Closed: A class should be open for extension, but close to modification

I hate when people do this. Closing class for modification is very easy, but opening it for extension requires predicting the future, which is impossible. Which coupled with being closed to modification destroys re-usability.
To expand on one aspect of hostile, some white blood cells greet foreign bodies with micromolar concentrations of a variety of oxidants and radicals: hypohalous acids (not just the familiar household bleach, hypochlorous acid, but also the nastier hypobromous acid), peroxides, superoxide, nitroxides, maybe even hydroxyl radical.

Realizing that, it's easy to see why autoimmune diseases are so devastating.
The civil procedure example you're giving here is unrelated to rules of evidence (which are a proper subset of the rules of civil procedure). Also, note that the German courts aren't common-law based, and don't follow the rules of civil procedure of the nature you're talking about.
RE #2: fast.com has me at 1/3 of what speedtest.net has me for download.
I don't need to know much about what it's supposed to be doing to critique a data channel that transmits plaintext over a radio, or accepts commands without cryptographically authenticating the sender.

I also don't need to know much about the intended function of the device to find coding styles that cause problems in an embedded environments.
Same. From my experience, I think that initial conditions on a thread matter. From what I saw, I was worried the thread would snowball in the negative direction.
Depends on having a camera pointed that the compromised keyboard, and cameras are the first things banned when setting up a secure environment.
But we have also never had as powerful instruments as we do now. Photographic, videographic, audiographic and textual evidence all in one device. We need extraordinary privacy because we have extraordinary vunerability.

The FBI used to have to go in person to set wiretaps, to steal documents, to access a safe deposit box. Now they can do it from miles away, and despite what Comey implies, they can do it without a warrant.

I'd like to imagine a future where citizens would have enough privacy to stage a revolution, and enough freedom of speech to broadcast widely without the government's consent.

It is possible, but of course I don't know and it does not matter. Let's say I induce you into a contract based on fraud, (you give me $x to invest in opportunity Y), now the contact actually says any of the investors have access to the funds and can take them before they are invested in Y. Another investor takes all the money, legally you would be able to come after me and the investor who took the money, maybe under different theories, just as examples, you might go after me for fraud and breach of contract while you go after the investor who actually has your money for unjust enrichment.

Since they took this precious domain, I was wondering about the purchase price and if it was worth to buy this awesome domain—we are talking here about a mid six digit at least, rather seven digits.

Then, I checked how much traffic speedtest.net is getting on SimilarWeb: wow, 150m visits per month, I didn't know that speed testing can be so popular.

Conclusion: Yes, it was right to buy this domain and if fast.com gets a large part of speedtest.net's traffic in the long term, Netflix has a neat free Marketing channel.
