100%. Trends come and go. How we feel (guilty here) about the minimal aesthetic, was how those in the 70's felt about Avocado bathrooms and hexagonal print wallpaper. I can't help being extremely judgemental of that style, but I realise that I too would have probably found it attractive and in at the time. Our children will look back at Scandi-style with the same feeling.
(1) Contempt of court will never see anyone in prison. Prison (in the US) is only for those serving sentences of over one year. A contempt charge is not going to result in a guaranteed sentence of over a year. Six months is generally the outside, but even then only if you disregard any "purge" stipulations. Contempt sends you to jail, not prison.

(2) Contempt is not a "victimless" crime. It's not really a crime, but the court/judge is the victim in the situation.

(3) There is strong argument for "victimless" crimes to be punished more severely. They are the easier to hide as there is nobody around with a desire to report them. Drunk driving (absent an accident) is victimless but we punish it as we do to deter the legions me know are going undetected.

(4) Be very careful about throwing around the victimless label, especially in regards to drugs. Many a family has suffered horribly as one member is consumed by drugs. That nobody is bleeding in hospital doesn't mean there aren't victims.
How does sending a case to the bottom of the pile not also penalize the adversary of the person disrupting the court?

At least in the case of North Korea, I very much fear that in a decade or two the place will go dark and the rest of of the world (ourselves included) will find a mausoleum of a country.

We'll all kinda go, "Well, we couldn't just invade them, could we?", and just silently acknowledge that everyone in the world sat there while millions of people were starved, butchered, or tortured.

Official war is over, but there are still all kinds of violence; and where there is not violence there is the subjugation by threat of violence. Much of this has to do with US policy w.r.t. the Americas for the last ~200 years and more recently the War on Drugs.

Defining "peace" as a lack of official war is utter nonsense.

We only have to look south across a single border to see a country very much at war.

Come on, man. You and I both know that exoplanets are a recent discovery (1988 being the earliest verified potential candidate for the real thing), and thus hard to detect in the visible spectrum. No one is looking at them with an ordinary telescope, tuned into the visible spectrum.

Last time I checked, anything not emitting visible light is commonly referred to as "dark." But wait, let me just check with my specialized visible light emission instrument.

Gee, when I turn off this incandescant light bulb, it goes... dark! Hypothesis verified! Is it still hot? Why yes! Yes, it is still hot. But also dark. Weird!

But hey, while we're being pedantic nerds, I'll just take a moment to correct you, regarding your correction of me.

Most of the examples in the impeccably cited link are measured in multiples of Jupiter's mass, which, you know, pretty much means they're certainly gas giants, and damn near brown dwarf classification, lending to their thermal activity.

So, the heat would likely not be owing to lava or magma.
Yeah, I probably plug DL4J too much. It's a hard habit to break, and I'm sure some people get tired of it. I try to only do it when I have something substantive to say about the post in question.

OpenAI and DL4J are equivalent in the sense that they both have active communities focused on parts of machine learning. The difference, of course, is that DL4J is a commercially backed OSS framework, while OpenAI is a not-for-profit think tank that is using other group's DL libs, while building its own sandbox and obviously conducting its own research.

I wouldn't say that DL4J is more serious because Java is enterprise. It's just tackling different problems. It does some things better (many integrations) and some things worse or not at all (automatic differentiation), which is simply a reflection of our priorities. Not research, just production solutions and apps. That said, we are making it easier to create custom layers with DL4J, so people will be able to implement a lot of the latest papers there soon.

AFAICT this stems from a different philosophy of what a code review should be for. GitHub appears to believe that code reviews should be very high-level, with most discussion focused on overall design issues and only the latest version of the code, rather than detailed line-by-line reviews of incremental changes. This attitude is shared by at least some number of GitHub users, since many people who visit https://reviewable.io (my attempt at a code review tool in the vein of Phab or Gerrit) don't even get why it might be needed. So perhaps GitHub is not entirely wrong... but it certainly opens up a nice niche for providing tools to those who like more thorough reviews.
I wonder if with the new ref improvements in C# 7.0, there will be more adoption of it for game development (even amongst these sort of C++ people, who think C# is 'tacked on' to VS, rather than it being the other way round).
Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 has some performance improvements and some big C++ compiler improvements.

There's a difference between Jean Valjean stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister's dying child and an organized crew which makes a living from robbing houses. The former is a great candidate for a job program. The latter already have their own job problem; it's just rather antisocial.
Why do you want them locked up?

The things I'd like to happen are:
1) Reduce the liklihood that these people will commit further crimes
2) Discourage other people from robbing homes
3) Help you replace the things you lost

I'm not really familiar with the literature on this, but I'd guess there are more effective options than prison for all three of those.

Is that the only person she's sicked the cops on? Or one of many? Did she call the cops on other neighbors or did we only hear of the call involving the "retarded black man"? I mean... her notifying the cops of the other neighbor wouldn't have caused any issues if it was a white guy...

Was that racist? Maybe...

Maybe not...

The thing is: We don't know.

It's easy for armchair lawyers to pass judgement... but it becomes more difficult when you actually realize that one call isn't a pattern.
I pay taxes from my salary and a portion of those taxes goes to pay prisons. I would be happy to pay more.
A typical PE buys the company with 20% cash down, and 80% debt (i.e. money borrowed from a bank).

They now have to find extra profit to pay the interest.
Ideally they also get a healthy dividend or management fee every year.

This inevitably comes down to
a. increased sales
b. cost (i.e. salary) cuts

They also want to resell/IPO the company in 3-7 years - obviously for money than they paid for it. This is another constant pressure to increase profit (see a & b above).

HOWEVER
Growing companies are usually not for sale and are very expensive. They cant be bought by PE. PE often looks for a troubled company which can be bought on the cheap, and can be somehow be kept profitable for a few years.

Hence (a) is difficult leading to focus on (b)

This of course is not all bad.
Some academic studies have shown that PE companies do grow over time.
The new management can trim the middle management roles and invest more in real r&d and product.

I don't see a huge win there. Since RyuJIT C# has been a reasonable option for game dev. Value types are already there to help avoid GC and get fast array iteration over small things.

There is some SIMD support. What is there, is pretty good. But not everything is exposed. That would be nice.

Better array bounds elision would be good, and that may be coming, I know they are looking into it. It does it but only in the most obvious cases.
16% at state level from same source, over 50% at federal level. Probably 20%+ directly and up to 30-40% indirectly related, 1 in 5 to 1 in 3. That is lots and lots of people we are paying for to be somewhere that they maybe weren't violent to begin with but are now, prisons are a criminal making machine. They could be out, or in a program, making a net benefit paying it back rather than a total loss all around. -30k per year minimum per prisoner in tax.
I had had Preview 3 with the old installer, and things (rustc, gyp, &c.) tended to work with just advising them about 15.0 in a similar fashion to how they used 14.0.

Alas, the new installer changes the techniques used to find things (there was an InstallDir registry key somewhere or other which is no more), so now for running things like rustc and gyp I need to either run vcvarsall.bat manually (rustc) or make invasive changes (gyp) before they’ll work.

In short: if you want to use this to actually develop things that aren’t purely Visual Studio projects, you’ll find it more convenient to wait.

If someone is convicted of killing 2 people and also of manufacturing and possession of 5 pounds of meth, do they fall into the same category of "serving time for drug offenses"?

I think the category people are actually interested in is how many people are incarcerated for only drug-offenses and only minor (possession, not drug-kingpin) ones.
Differs based on location. In Western Europe, the truth is that truly rich people do not care about looking like poor people. The moneyed class are far more likely to look poor to the average person. It is the moderately wealthy who do not want to look like poor people, thus strongly broadcasting they are only moderately wealthy.

Very expensive restaurant / retailer / auction room staff have to be taught this. What most people associate with super high wealth (brands, flashy jewellery, watches ), are not good signals of large wealth (high multi-millions). Hell, walk around the richest parts of London. The Saudis, apart from their gold plated Bugattis, spend hundreds of thousands in Harrods in Adidas tracksuits.
I'm sure a lawyer can "understand" how lawsuits aren't actually something personal at all, but lawyers really seem to be the ONLY people who "understand" that.

That's an interesting argument, coming from somebody who regularly claims that heaping the foulest verbal abuse on people is nothing personal.

Are those the same experts that missed gotofail? Static analysis should have caught that. Just because they can does not mean that they do. Having many developers sharing code means that they all have an incentive to do auditing.

By the way, there are definitely people who do things with OSS code and never tell others. I cannot know what everyone is doing. I am neither God nor the NSA.
That seems like posing a real challenge for Amazon, simply because the entire PC game market belongs within reasonable margin of error to Valve, via Steam. I don't know as much on the console side, but the impression I have is that that's moving more toward digital delivery as well, via the various console manufacturers' storefronts. Not sure how Amazon would be able to find a meaningful entry into that particular market.
Absolutely not.

Slavery was a commonplace practice all around the world for up until about 200 years ago. White Greeks were slaves. The Arab/Ottoman slave trades (made mostly of white captives) flourished during the 16-and-1700s.
Some kind of official graphics library support would really be needed. XNA is dead, and has been for years. Managed DirectX is even more dead. The community-supported options are Monogame (an open-source version of XNA), SlimDX (a kind-of-no-longer-supported wrapper around DirectX), and SharpDX (a more-actively-developed DirectX wrapper). I think there are also some options for OpenGL wrappers on .NET, but I'm not familiar with them and they don't seem to be that popular.
I want them locked up, so they don't commit more crimes. Obviously the police don't catch every criminal that commits every crime. So catching them and locking them prevents them from committing more crimes.

Whit the zika outbreak I thought, what if we could some how harden(genetics) the mosquito inmune system to fight off zika? (or any other undesirable virus)

Then find a way to replace the native populations with the hardened ones. (For example some kind of selective trap)

Something similar to what is currently done with livestock, which is vaccinated against many posible human patogens.

I think, experimentation with mosquitoes could be more agressive that trying to find a way to cure a human. And you would not eliminate the population which could lead to problems down the road.
If someone killed two people they go for the murder charge I am sure of it. Nothing wrong with locking up murderers as it is violent.

The above stats are current prisoner charges, my assumption is murderers wouldn't be out to get a charge by making meth. But who knows they seem to be harder on drugs than real violent crime at times (80s especially right after the DEA was created by Nixon in '75).
> Prison (in the US) is only for those serving sentences of over one year.

This is a popular conception of the prison/jail distinction, and it has some general connection with reality, but it is both possible to be in a "prison" with a sentence of less than a year, and to be sentenced to a "jail" for sentences of greater than a year.

So, pet peeve time. Every once and a while Sourcegraph comes up again, and I check to see if they've moved away from trying to do their (completely non-free) Fair Source thing. (https://fair.io/)

This time it seems they have, mostly! None of their code on Github uses it, and the sourcegraph/sourcegraph project itself has gone private. Leading to a broken link on some of their repos (eg, https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph-browser-extension...) -- but, hey, it's not like it was required to stay open, so, fair enough.

Now if they can just update their terms of service to remove any question of it (it's still there), and I'm on board. Because I really want to use this!
Given that E=mc^2, how do we know that there isn't simply a form of energy which is overly abundant? If the energy and mass are interchangeable, could it be that a massive amount of energy could be undetectable yet still have the same gravitational effects as what we call dark matter?

This article was interesting, showing a completely different world-view than the one I experience. Compiler from vc++6? That's ancient! Misses loads of fun C/C++ features (and I'm not even talking about the massive shift in new C++ versions). Sure, you can be productive even in c89, but why... These days I don't trust code which doesn't pass modern compiler's all-warnings run, and tools like clang-analyzer.

Author also has an interesting view of QT Creator development / doesn't seem to be familiar with OS projects. "Or perhaps the guy who wrote it (denis mingulov I think?) will improve it, but I think he developed it in 2010." - meanwhile 6 different people committed new code to the QT Creator in the last 24h.

There's a few more fun things to spot if you read carefully. But what I'm saying is: it's worth remembering developers work in very different groups / environments.

> one can argue that the designation itself leads to a place losing its "wildness"...

There are always more people on the hiking trails and in the campgrounds in places designated "wilderness" on maps than places not so described.

These days the best places don't have a lot of publicity, manicured trails, designated camping areas, forest rangers, or puff pieces in glossy magazines. No, I'm not going to share, sorry.

For #4, how does the act of using a drug recreationally and responsibly cause any suffering at all to one's family? If I drink a beer, have a coffee, or smoke a bowl, how does that affect, say, my mother who is 3,000 miles away?

Facebook's front page is dynamically generated for every user. Google can essentially throw up a static page even if everything goes wrong in the backend.

Great studies. I always felt something was off about the IAT and couldn't tell exactly why. Maybe it primes us for racism/sexism/whatever it's testing?
No. I would rather they go to jail.

I had insurance, it did not cover all of the losses. Assuming this wasn't the first house they robbed, there are many people who suffered losses as well.

I do have a son and I would be very unhappy if he started robbing houses. Because of this, I consider it my responsibility to raise him correctly. A concept that seems sadly out of fashion these days.
