I have no way of knowing whether the poster you're replying to intended to use the masculine pronoun as a purposeful declaration that all conference speakers are male, but I'm having trouble understanding why you would immediately jump to the conclusion that they are engaging in "first-degree trolling". To be frank, the tone you seem to be taking in assuming that what could very well be an unintentional mistake should be used as an indictment of the poster as a troll or worse is one of the reasons I find myself somewhat fearful of posting on HN.

English is not my native language, and the language that I first learned to speak has very different rules for gender specific pronouns which results in me being very careful in how I write in English. Despite this, I sometimes(often) make mistakes. One common mistake I've noticed myself making is when I write about a specific person, male or female, I sometimes tend to then use that person's gender as the default pronoun for the rest of my sentence. I have no problem being called out on my mistakes but it makes me nervous that any error I make can be grounds for me being called a troll or a sexist.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but the part about missing cars near the edge of the windshield is so true. There's a particular corner close to home with very low speed traffic. Somehow, I've missed more than one vehicle coming up the road, such that I had adapted to moving my head habitually before that intersection to compensate. This gives a much more complete explanation of what's going on.
It would be great if you could get this to install as part of what webhosts provide for cpanel-type installers, eg Softaculous.
Frankly, yes. I think Socrates' letter to Crito[1] explains why participating in a society means we embody some of that society's values.

If you are truly a hardliner when it comes to non-interventionism, continuing to live and take advantage of the United States' infrastructure and quality of life (which is what it is due to said policies) makes your position suspect. Kind of like eating meat while preaching vegetarianism.

Good catch -- the link to the code was wrong (it was linking to an old version). I updated it to point to the new NCP version.

That's weird that it does several different types of moves in a row into the same register -- there must be some kind of implicit calculation going on, or maybe it's just a bug.

I'd use "git blame" to bug-shame whoever wrote that heterosexist code, but I don't think they were using safe source code control practices back then.

The issue with delivery services is they rely on the density of city populations... In the Phoenix area most of said services don't exist, and many that have tried have failed. It's a pretty stark contrast to more dense cities, and even locally Tempe has a lot more options than the greater Phoenix area does.

I also hope that similar ride sharing systems take deeper hold in Phoenix... Personally, I really enjoy driving, so seeing traffic become less dense (currently not nearly as bad as the coastal cities by any means) would be nice.
>'Most people' can't distinguish 1080p from 4k from 6 ft away

6ft away (and screen size) being key. From up close, everyone can and the difference is obvious. Whereas with lossy audio, a well encoded track will sound transparent to ~99% of people, no matter how they listen or what equipment they use.

Digital audio is pretty much a solved problem in terms of transparent encoding. Consumer digital video still has a long way to go.

Just got the book and am impressed. But new to Haskell, I'm actually making my way through the much shorter, free and very well written "YetAnotherHaskellTutorial" first, because I wan't to have a general working knowledge of the language before settling down to the 1000+ page hard slog.

Lists get discussed about 700 pages in, so while the book is very thorough--I like that it opens with Lambda Calculus--it seems a little wax on wax off if you haven't first gotten your feet wet via other means.

Why this takes so long is because once such a standard is introduced, you can't take that decision back anymore without breaking a lot of things. They don't want to introduce standards which end up being used only by a small number of people while causing a lot of maintenance-work and then being tied to maintaining it anyways.

That also is the reason why these decisions often happen in the same time frame for different browser vendors. If another browser vendors decides to introduce it, you can be much more sure that you won't be supporting it without anyone using it. And obviously also just to not be left behind by web developers.

The times I need to edit a text file in a terminal are very rare (config is managed, code comes from git). I already have a GUI text editor of choice, so I've never felt any need to memorise vi/emacs (aside from how to save and exit). nano has the commands right there onscreen if I've forgotten.

Nano lists its shortcuts in the window, like most modern GUI software. This is helpful for beginners, but also for me when I haven't had my morning coffee and suddenly find myself in a text editor. I enjoy using it, but I also like that it's discoverable from within the program; that strikes me as good design.
Maybe I misunderstood, but my point is that "treason" is a loaded term because we're not really sure if what he did was treasonous or not. As mentioned, treason needs an "intent to aid enemies" which we're not sure if Snowden had -- experts go back and forth on this.

So people just say "treason" to be inflammatory. He definitely broke the law and should probably be in jail, but treason is another ballgame altogether.

What about the unquestionable traitors at the NSA? Why is all the focus on Snowden?
I am OK with these articles for a selfish reason: keeps my competitive edge with those who do not know deep mathematics. Being able to see the interconnections of seemingly disparate concepts is highly valuable, and not an easily "Google-able" skill, which is something people should strive for.
I can't for the live of me think of a phrase that gives me Google search results even remotely related to the topic, but I am pretty sure I once found a study that said that consciously inaudible differences in audio due to compression still made a difference - subjects who got the compressed sounds tired more quickly (of hearing them). Having taken a bit of neuroscience I can easily accept that - but I did not take enough (ns) to say for sure that it is so. I can easily accept that merely asking people about anything is not actually objective, it needs more credulity to believe my claim that even people in a blind test who can't tell the difference between two songs (lossless vs. compressed), which is more objective than just asking about qualitative measures, is not a reliable way to determine the question of "lossless vs. compressed".

So could anyone confirm or deny such a study and the mechanism exists from a basis of actual knowledge?

I'm not a node.js dev so I might be wrong here, but I imagine clustering would complicate the broadcast, no? I was under the impression that communication between the nodes of the cluster can be a pain.
That falls into some speculation area, unless actually substantiated with serious studies. I'd be interested in it, if you can find a source. There are too many hoaxes going regarding audio, to be skeptical enough.

Just out of curiosity, not saying any side is good or bad, but did you ever run into someone whose rationale was "Because I was 19, Dude. Because, but for the grace of god, it would have been me in the ditch with a bullet in my head."?
Sorry for your loss, I'm not even sure what to say. You'll be in my prayers.
Maybe so. The counterpoint is that several of APIs added to the web platform in the last ~8 years have already been deprecated: stuff like WebSQL, File System, AppCache; there is no shortage of moving fast and breaking things when it comes to browser vendors.

Something like a codec is comparatively trivial, because as a content server you can never rely on everyone supporting the same codec, so you have to stream among multiple formats anyway. When all of these JS APIs that FF or Chrome added were later deprecated and removed, everyone had to re-code their sites. So I'm hesitant to accept 'let's be really careful about this' as a rationale here.

You've kind of just resolved your concerns yourself.

> The problem is that there is no way for the person affected to receive "justice", "fairness", or "a day in court".

Of course there is. There's 'private arbitration' - just resolve the matters yourself like regular people do. Then then, if the victim feels particularly damaged, there's the courts.

> Crockford might just ignore this--it's probably the best course of action given his station.

Yup. He doesn't need 'justice' because he doesn't feel he's been particularly wronged.
I'm often a jerk, and occasionally an asshole. If I do something bad and someone justifiably berates me over it or criticizes me over it, I pretty much have to acknowledge that it was something I did that has upset them. That's because I'm a white male, so I can't rationalize it away as them just being racist or sexist.

Some women and minorities (some, nowhere near a majority, but it only takes a few to stir up a lot of trouble) are also jerks and assholes, and when that draws criticism or anger or insults they can rationalize it away as them being attacked for their race or sex.

It's a lot easier on the ego and self-esteem to think that someone dislikes you because of something you have no control over such as your race or sex rather than because you have a terrible personality.
You assume the parent is privileged (younger white male) for having an opinion that conflicts with your own?

> It sounds significantly better than lossy audio.

Lossy audio can be completely transparent. If you disagree, you need to provide some objective evidence, because all objective evidence points in favour of good lossy compression being indistinguishable from lossless at sensible bitrates.

Look, I've no problem with LAME being supported, but don't make it out to be "significant" in terms of sound quality. Try AAC at 256kbps (what iTunes Store has used for the past decade) or better yet, Opus. Do a serious blinded test and amaze yourself with the results.
The NYT is doing hit pieces on wikileaks and friends, and this is part of that (the previous one was: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/01/world/europe/wikileaks-jul...).

The NYT operates in coordination with the U.S. government (c.f. DNC email leaks that show them coordinating a Bernie article with the DNC). It is helpful to consider them as the U.S.'s own state owned media (c.f. Chomsky), and these its press releases. Read them, but be skeptical.

Their likely is something very big coming from wikileaks in the next few weeks. The political elites in Washington have been working hard to discredit wikileaks.

Some crimes are defined by intent. Look up "mens rea". It's what distinguishes manslaughter from murder, for instance. Federal law distinguishes between accidental mishandling and intentional leaking of classified material. The former is what Hillary Clinton did. The latter is what Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning did.

Socrates has his logic, I grant you. Socrates died shortly thereafter. Snowden, on the other hand, is still relatively free to shape the public debate and further the fight for Freedom. Who is wiser, who is more strategic? I'm not dissing Socrates here, for what it's worth: I only mean that there is no contract we sign with strict logical adherence when born into an unjust society.

I'm also not sure I agree that living in a country means you morally take responsibility for all its ills. I would characterize the responsibility for ills to be those that one is aware of and accepts because of the perceived personal benefit. The point of political opposition is to reject the current order of society.

Thank you. Gizmodo's article is grossly misleading, starting with its 100% inaccurate title ("C" doesn't stand for "classified"). This makes their terrible "Facebook is censoring conservatives" story look like Pulitzer material.
There are of course other advantages to a Node implementation (first class simple objects to/from JSON being high among them). Far less of a disconnect to the front end is huge. Also, if you need to have the reliability/scale of more than one server anyway, then some of that ground can be overcome with clustering and/or multiple instances.

Though clustering would have meant the need for another control channel.. that said, I'd be surprised if Redis + Node(clustered) didn't perform in with the leaders of the pack.

> In my layman's understanding of biology, the only difference between human brains and other mammalian brains is neuronal density; all the structure is the same as far as I've read.

And yet humans are different. That's the puzzle. You can't say "I've solved the puzzle - there is no puzzle!" because there are obvious differences that you can't simply ignore by saying "I don't understand".

It doesn't work that way.

> If you have to keep believing humans are somehow special, then associate that specialness with being the only creature with highly dextrous appendages that evolved with access to trees and metal that also farms.

No thanks. I choose reality instead. Where humans are in fact special, they have self awareness and language, and the ability to argue on the internet.

You can go on imagining yourself as a body without a mind if you like, I choose different.

Go read Blindsight by Peter Watts, and ponder why we have a mind - the book will show you it doesn't have to be that way, yet it is.

In a way yes, you'd need a control channel to centralize the broadcast to the other processes. In more common use cases, Redis is used in conjunction with node for these types of things. There are relays for redis with sockjs, socket.io and others to make the setup/configuration a bit easier to work with.
Depending on the implementation/deployment of the C#/F# code, it probably would have performed very well.
I've been in the computer security industry for decades, 20 years ago I did intrusion detection and computer network security for a large government location as part of a team of about 12 people. I referred people to the Inspector General for prosecution when they attacked our networks.

I am really shocked at the level of incompetence here. Even 20 years ago we had 300,000 to 450,000 probes and hack attempts on that one network alone, on a weekly basis. It seems almost certain that her emails were compromised.

Destroying them is inexcusable, at the very least those records could have been used to determine what data had been potentially compromised.

I can't imagine what went on at the State Department where this kind of thing could happen. And, it isn't just Hillary Clinton who is guilty here.

I remember the first day after my security clearance and background checks completed, they spent several hours explaining security policies to me; that felony charges would be brought against me if I walked out the gate with so much as a hard copy of an internal email. I only had the lowest level of clearance for "classified" of "confidential" and even then only as was relevant to performing my job. There were entire buildings in our complex that had "secret" data, and only certain members of our team could investigate those systems for potential intrusions.

Even at that level, when you work with potentially classified material, the default behavior is to act is if all information is classified. If you want to published, or release information, it needs to checked and approved, even if it's not sensitive, just to be sure.

The only excuse I can possibly imagine, is that the clintonemail.com server was actually an elaborate ruse to leak misinformation to foreign actors.
