I don't think this boundary would be that difficult to delineate and enforce. Political donations ought to come from personal bank accounts rather than corporate ones. Is it any more difficult than that?
This is solid. I'm an engineer at Algorithmia, and this caught our attention as the sort of project we love to host as a service on our algorithm marketplace. We've already made note of it for our team to consider adding (thanks to the generous MIT license), but I wanted to reach out in case you'd rather add, own, and optionally monetize it on our platform yourself. Either way, this was a great read with impressive results.
Hyperbole and reference will probably be worked on in next one. ALGOL mostly existed on paper or in complex compilers on expensive systems. The "computer" that is the EDSAC is not on that list. So, they would have to build their own ALGOL... a difficult thing anyway in that period... using a machine and process like this:

https://youtu.be/6v4Juzn10gM?t=3m41s

Can you imagine trying to make a robust, fast compiler for such a weak machine in tape batches on that weak machine? I could understand them giving up with BCPL as a useful result on that machine. The cost-benefit analysis of using a PDP-11 like an EDSAC is opposite. Wirth et al showed you could do better. C inventors just liked BCPL. I'd understand if they used BCPL to bootstrap a Modula-2 or other ALGOL subset with good design. Instead, they kept trying to force BCPL to do something it wasn't designed for... wait, it wasn't designed period lol. It was just what compiled on a 1940's calculating device.

It's bad foundations vs others' good foundations. Might have worked for them sure. Today, though, we need to know why they did it that way and why we definitely shouldn't if we don't absolutely have to. That's the point of the essay. Plus, to clear up associated misinformation.

The main usable documentation is in the book Expert F# by Don Syme et all which demonstrates how to use all the nifty language features for real life code. I think it's a pattern with nearly all Microsoft products - you need to buy training (e.g. in the form of book) to use them properly.

The spike in crime started in the 1960s. Incarceration rate started ramping up in the 1970s. Drug war started ramping up in the 1980s. Private prisons started ramping up in the 1990s. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.factch...

Your theory of causation (kickbacks from private prison companies cause harsher laws and more incarceration), though popular, doesn't explain the data. If you look at the ordering of events, what makes more sense is actually the opposite causation. Crime started going up in the 1960s due to depopulation of the cities and exporting jobs. Drugs got blamed as the bogeyman, which got the drug war started in the 1970s and 1980s. Fed up with skyrocketing crime, people voted for tough on crime laws (by huge margins and often in public referendums rather than legislation) in the 1970 through 1990s. And the last step in the chain, in the 1990s and 2000s, was private companies springing up to take advantage of the massive growth in need for prisons.
Maybe you should switch to one of the new plans? Currently it looks like what you describe is $35/mo: http://www.verizonwireless.com/landingpages/verizon-plan/
Or just look at government bonds. Investors wouldn't be investing in 10-year bonds with negative yields if they thought interest rates were going to go up significantly.

I don't work in the financial industry, but just as a bystander it seems clear to me that there are a lot of bond traders, like Bill Gross, who have strong interests in rates going up significantly. Just like small-cap, pump-and-dump scammers, they're trying to move markets with their sophist predictions.

I don't think there's much of a dispute that there'll be a regression to some mean. But judging by where people are actually putting their money, the time horizon appears to be much further away than many of the pundits would have us believe.

Other than using VMs and 'surprise' power-cycling them, what other ways are there to test these sorts of behaviours? Would an entry like `iptables -I forward -s ... -d ... -j DENY` on a host the 2 endpoints route over suffice to suddenly stop all traffic (or a pair of rules to cover a->b and b->a packets)?

Are there any tools for 'and suddenly, the network disappears/goes to 99% packetloss/10s latency' etc that you can use to test existing software? I'm imagining some sort of iptables/tc wrappers that can take defined scenarios (or just chaos-monkey it) and apply them to traffic, possibly allowing assertions as to how the application should behave for various situations.
I really enjoyed the article!

By the way, you mentioned using word boundaries in regexes to replace variable names. GNU Emacs regexes can actually include "symbol boundaries" (which are a little better for variable names than word boundaries), represented as "\_<symbol\_>". Personally, I like using the "highlight-symbol" package, which provides the "highlight-symbol-query-replace" command to basically execute M-% for the symbol at point.
I get annoyed by this comment in every thread not because no one believes that but because it attacks a very weak form of an interesting argument. The stronger form would lead to much better discussion, and these comments frame the argument in a (IMO) unproductive way.

I mostly run it on a Xeon workstation with 32 GB RAM, SSD, Nvidia K5000, etc. I think you can call it a modern machine. Other software runs fast.

I don't have any third party software installed on top of VS2015.

Only unusual aspect is that I also have several other Visual Studio versions installed, like VS2008, VS2010, VS2012 and VS2013.

I also have many Windows SDK and DDK (driver devkit) versions.

But that shouldn't affect, right?
You really couldn't have asked for a better chain to demonstrate the validity of your point. Having been blinded by my own world view and biases in the past I sympathize with them but this is too funny not to have a little laugh at their expense.
> Powershell within itself does improve CMD.

Kind of depends on how you define improved. I find powershell slow enough that I usually still use cmd unless I'm dealing with a powershell script.
So you can write

value.to_radians().to_radians()

then? Weird.
That's certainly a good data point in the 'against' column, but it really only indicates that any current, if present, isn't likely to be caused by the normal circulation of water from filtration systems or similar. There are a number of other things that could possibly be causing a current.

For instance the current could be caused by the interaction between the pool and the motion of the swimmers in the pool. It could be caused by the overflow wave from 8 people entering the pool. It could be caused by uneven gutter heights leading to the pool draining at a faster rate on one side/corner. It could be a combination of all of these things, none of which would show up in a static test like the one they demonstrated.

The fact that this has happened at some races and not others, and the ones it looks like it has happened at are Myrtha pools, is interesting in itself.

Facebook would be smart to have gaming and social as two separate things with optional integration with Facebook.

I don't exactly disagree. Rather, I think the underlying problem is orthogonal to the one you're paying attention to. Facebook's problem is that they let people think of Facebook games as being somehow separate from mobile. The far-seeing move would've been to make Facebook across the desktop, mobile, et al., as views into a single ecosystem.

>Potential bridges that do not exist already and probably never will do not matter

The difference between impossible and possible is important. Please read what I was replying to. Using your argument, Anytime a project is open sourced, you could reply with "who cares about potential since nobody has actually done anything with the source". Good job.

>Virtually any language can already input and output text.

Um, you seemed to have missed the obvious point that objects can also be converted to text through powershell if the other side can only accept text. So, I don't quite know what you're complaining about. Could you detail your actual technical complaints with powershell, rather than having a philosophical argument?

>That's the real lingua franca of computing (even if it is messy and dirty), not .Net objects...

I don't agree with your opinion, nor with the idea that only a two-choice system can exist.

Having been involved in health care in both California and Texas, it's still so surprising to me how they can get it both right and wrong at the same time.

But there's one thing that I wish would change - this attitude that a single payer system is the death knell for healthcare. Handing it over to shareholder owned corporations like the ACA did sure hasn't worked out very well.
This is one of the areas that I agree with Trump, oddly enough - no more cuts to Medicare, and if we simply can't manage to get a single payer program going, allow existing insurance companies to compete across state lines.

We could start with dental. Appropriate dental care can help prevent a whole bunch of other problems. But the shareholders making decisions? No. That needs to stop.

I think they were saying that many of the effects cancel out over multiple lengths, as you're slowed down one way and sped up the other. It's not a perfect cancellation but it does diminish the problem.

However the 50m is just one way, so you get the entire effect with nothing cancelling it out at all. There's also then a much bigger difference between lane 1 and 8.

If everyone did two lengths, then lanes 1 and 8 would have been penalised a bit (faster one way, slower the other) but they'd have done the same as each other. Lanes 4&5 would have been a bit better.

Now picture just one length. Lane 1 never has to swim against the current, while lane 8 has to fight it all the way.

I'm one of those people that has an old old old AT&T plan with the original unlimited data package. Even if it's limited to 23GB if the area has some congestion, at $80/mo it's still a way better deal for me than most of these plans.

I average 5-7gb/data a month, and almost none of it is music or video. It's all just average use, email, Facebook, iMessage, stuff like that. It's amazing how much data Reddit can soak up.

But none of the newer plans make any sense to me. Just no compelling reason to switch.

It's a class issue.

Americans confuse a former iconography (civil rights era) with existing circumstances. Today they have a class divide, not a racial one. That many POCs are in one class and not another is misdirecting idealism. The plight of urban blacks is so well documented that it is a television trope, but the poverty that exists in the countryside and even entire cities stagnating and evidence of decay is more or less ignored e.g. Note how the Tiny House movement is an attempt for 'middle class' poor mostly to differentiate themselves from 'those people' living in trailer parks (who in turn would be appalled if they were conflated with those living in section 9). Presiding over it all is of course the spread of the gated communities. This is all an emergent class structure similar to the one that developed in Europe centuries ago.

In my country, any time we hear of Southerners, the implication is immediately that they are red necks, racists, ignorant jesus freaks.

We don't get that from our television or radio. We get it from your movies, television and radio.

Many europeans don't realize they are inadvertently being drawn into (one side of) a culture war on a different Continent e.g. see BLM protests in London.
When the Sandstorm project started, we obviously couldn't host it on Sandstorm. But, we are gradually moving towards more dogfooding. For example:

- We use Etherpad on Sandstorm for all documents we write, e.g. design docs or project plans.

- We use Wekan on Sandstorm for project / task planning.

- We use Rocket.Chat on Sandstorm for internal team chat.

- We commonly share and publish files using Davros.

- We host docs.sandstorm.io -- and the analytics for docs.sandstorm.io -- directly from Sandstorm.

- We host the Sandstorm app index (back-end for apps.sandstorm.io and for the automatic app update pipeline) as a Sandstorm app.

- We host the purchase flow for Sandstorm for Work as a Sandstorm app.

- We sometimes use private Gitlab or Gitweb grains on Sandstorm for non-public code, or for working on security fixes before they are ready to be disclosed.

That said, we still need to:

- Switch the main Sandstorm source repo to Gitlab or similar. This will obviously be a disruptive change, so we haven't tackled it yet.

- Host our e-mail on Sandstorm. Sandstorm's e-mail support admittedly needs a lot of work -- it's a much more complicated problem than most of the other things one does on Sandstorm, and we haven't put much effort into it yet. We'll get there eventually.

- Host our CI server on Sandstorm. This requires packaging Jenkins as a Sandstorm app, and also has a bunch of other complications relating to the fact that some of our tests need to run in VMs or use privileged syscalls, so it might take a while.

- Host our main web site on Sandstorm. Currently it's hosted as a plain-old static file server that we maintain. We could switch but there wouldn't be a ton of benefit in doing so, other than to say that we did.

We'll get to all these eventually.
Ah that; it's a major difficulty. A problem is that not only does the shape warp, but any part of the image that is lifted away from the scanner glass, even slightly, gets blurred quite a bit.
The funny thing about gcr's comment is that I posted ESR's review of UNIX Hater's Handbook here before. He agreed with a good chunk of it while noting other stuff changed or was ranting. As for your comment, I came to C after using alternative, system languages that compiled faster, crashed less, and ran fast. After I figured out basics of C & read secure coding books, I said "F#$@ this!" It was an unnecessary and horrible development experience. So, I coded up a 4GL that let me develop in industrial BASIC that compiled to C apps with checks in to use their compilers and libraries. Macro'd out boilerplate. People thought my "C code" was fast and thorough but I never wrote in that garbage language except prototyping the tool. (Long gone so don't ask.) My application areas were OS-level stuff, games, AI, networked apps, and GUI apps. Shows how easy it would've been to ditch given I sucked at compiler design.

Eventually, I discovered how it was created, that most proponents claims weren't accurate depiction, and did this write-up. Glad you enjoyed that I kept it close to subject material from its inventors. Meanwhile, the C inventors went onto design, with Pike's help, a better language that solves most of C's problems while maintaining a Wirth-like level of safety and development. Pick up Go language if you want to know what that experience is like. Personally, I'm more for a subset of Modula-3 with Rust's dynamic safety, SPARK Ada's extensions for correctness, and macro's for DSL, productivity benefits. Or efficient functional one with similar properties.

Only somewhat related: I'm currently reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson. I'm nearing the end of the book, and the concept that human brains might use quantum processes in the decision-making process is a very important and prevalent idea in the novel. [Although he takes some artistic license --- it is only a novel, afterall]. So I've been thinking, at least passively, about organisms being quantum machines quite a bit for the last week or so.
But the browser itself is an application delivery platform, and it includes a sandbox. So I'm curious why one would need something like Sandstorm on top of that to run apps?
I give up. You will be able to find a "logical" deduction to seemingly justify anything, because our memepool is full of contradictions and you are running the complexity generator forward. This is exactly what the government and corporations do (using the court system) to chip away our rights as they coalesce their centralized singular power. Obviously Twitter wants to be a petty dictator and disclaim any implied responsibility (eg their generally-unread TOS) - that doesn't mean you need to be their banner man.

By your same reasoning, the government could claim ownership of the atmosphere and be justified in restricting literal speech.

Fundamentally, we're currently building a society where the commons is privately controlled. Rejecting the analysis of freedom of speech for this society implies one does not actually value the concept.

I'm going into pedantic territory, but since we're on the topic of drawing order for translucent meshes... might as well.

You don't actually avoid the problem entirely when you're using just triangles because it's still possible to construct a "A overlaps B overlaps C overlaps A" cycle of occlusion using three triangles. It's more or less the same corner case as a cyclic occlusion problem with convex pole-shaped meshes.

For this reason it seems like graphics engines tend to just batch-render entire sub-meshes at a time because rendering entire meshes presents little additional complexity over rendering individual polygons (and is more performant). It's a leaky abstraction but the leaks are pretty rare.

For large international meets they are assigned based on FINA's seeding rules:

http://www.fina.org/content/sw-3-seeding-heats-semi-finals-a...

Finals are seeded 4,5,3,6,2,7,1,8 fastest-to-slowest.

Semifinals are circle seeded (two heats where b is the second heat) 4-b, 4-a, 5-b, 5-a, 3-b, 3-a etc.

Heats are circle seeded for the last (fastest) three heats, and then regular-seeded for the remaining heats.

Basically if the pool had a current, you'd expect to see more 'upsets' from the lanes with less current, or from the lanes with a positive current in the case of the 50m.
It is open source in every sense. The development is open, they accept patches/contributions etc.
