Cap'n Proto supports MinGW as a target platform. (It has also supported Cygwin since very early on.) However, Cap'n Proto is a library, so it needs to support whatever compiler the users of that library are using, and for the vast majority of Windows developers that's MSVC.
It is refreshingly clear, though for someone not familiar with the ideas of Debian, Linux, Puppy, or bootable Linux CDs, it might be a bit confusing.

Moving this paragraph up the page would help:

DebianDog is a small Debian Live CD shaped to look like Puppy and act like Puppy. Debian structure and Debian behaviour are untouched and Debian documentation is 100% valid for DebianDog. You have access to all Debian repositories using apt-get or synaptic.

If I were rewriting that for a slightly broader audience:

DebianDog is a small bootable Linux OS disk image based on the Debian Live CD shaped to look and act like Puppy Linux.

Debian structure and Debian behaviour are untouched and Debian documentation is 100% valid for DebianDog. You have access to all Debian software repositories using apt-get or synaptic package management tools.

But yes, it's far better than most project/product descriptions I've seen.
Hey glenda,

I wanted to congratulate you on your enduring politeness and civility while enduring exactly the opposite. I thank you for your tone and your contribution. While I may not agree with you, I applaud the manner in which you communicate.

I would add that complex is a relative term. If your product can't be put in terms that are easy for your customer to understand then you have the wrong customer or the wrong product.

As noted above -"The bottom-line is that your customers don't care about your product. They care about how your product helps them."

Selling me an apparatus that I can ride and has a combustion engine with wheels will not sell me on a product. Telling me that a machine can get me from point A to point B easily and fast and it's called a car. Will definitely get my attention.
>Prevent landlords from pulling credit history. Your finances are not their business.

I disagree, if you have a terrible credit history, leasing to you may be very risky. They aren't loaning you money, but they are trusting that you will have the money every month to pay them with.

I haven't had soda more than (once every year or so) for several years now, other than as a mixer in cocktails.

It's still delicious. Water is still disgusting. I don't drink diet soda because it tastes terrible. Stevia sodas taste worse. But I'd be ecstatic if there was a drink which tasted like soda without the negative effects.

So, yeah, I'm confused over what led you to write your first line given your last line. It's because it's utterly delicious to many of us.

The most important thing about being out in the wilderness is this: it's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared. This holds true regardless of experience level.

It's true that car camping is considerably safer. But, in my opinion, making sure you have the "ten essentials" I listed is about forming the right habits. You may not need the extra shelter since you can sleep in your car, but when you decide to upgrade to tent-camping, you'll know to bring some with you.
Great article showing that in tech, mentoring can go both ways.
In all seriousness, how would you go about calculating FDS?

It means you have an older version of source code pro, the Rust website uses your local font instead of an invalid font name like some websites do.
Nah.

Many relentlessly focused and driven people have failed miserably, and many vague and sluggish people have succeeded beyond all expectation.

Take me, for instance. I waffled along one step ahead of destitution for thirty years and then got an amazing job without trying even slightly. Now, I'm on track to retire before I'm fifty. Everyone who knows me calls me lazy! What have I done? Why me? I just give generously to charity and keep my head down.

I've found a crucial skill for a happy life is to carefully avoid pointless effort.
Python's packaging system was and is still sometimes somewhat broken. However, it's getting better: compilation related issues are rarer nowadays thanks to the wheel pre-built package format (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0491/). Another great thing is the manylinux tag (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/) which allows to create portable packages which are compatible with many distributions + contain all required dependencies. For example, I didn't want to compile anymore OpenCV all the time by myself so I made it available as wheel package in PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/opencv-python
It's a locally corrupted copy of Source Code Pro. When I installed a new version it was resolved.

> the generally agreed upon assumption that blacks make up a disproportionate number of suspects in criminal cases.

Do you use "assumption" here to mean "divorced from data"? Because I'm of the impression that is hardly contested in the field of criminology.
Is it just me or does whitelisting static objects to determine whether the car will collide with them seem like a bit of a crude hack? It almost sounds like the system will brake at newly installed traffic signs.

edit: Upon closer reading, he explains it somewhat. Once they have enough data, the system will start braking on unknown objects with gradually increasing force as the confidence level rises. So basically, it will brake on unknown traffic signs but only slightly, as the confidence level shouldn't get too high, if I understand that correctly.

The last paragraph sounds technically challenging and interesting:

"Taking this one step further, a Tesla will also be able to bounce the radar signal under a vehicle in front - using the radar pulse signature and photon time of flight to distinguish the signal - and still brake even when trailing a car that is opaque to both vision and radar. The car in front might hit the UFO in dense fog, but the Tesla will not."

edit: it seems like they are already doing it beginning with this update: "Now controls for two cars ahead using radar echo, improving cut-out response and reaction time to otherwise-invisible heavy braking events". that sounds awesome.
I hear all this hype about clojure/haskell being a better fit for web apps. Esp. ClojureScript which compiles to JS.

Is it sane to ditch JS (and node.js, angular.js, bootstrap.js, ...) and go with clojure? (maybe even ruby?)
It sounds like you'd like a signal that allows one to more quickly switch off their brain, like network television prefixing party affiliation to politician's names. "Oh it is a R talking? Well as a D I can assume that everything said is wrong, no need to evaluate individual points."
I understand the separation of programming and operating, as I am a programmer as well as having studied automated automotive valve welding and grinding at a leading supplier (friction stem and seat welding, among others). The point I was making, though probably not clear I admit, was that a factory operator could be seen as a "machine programmer" simply because they were given that title by the production owners, and trained on the job as such. For example, technicians regularly do electrician functions in large factories, and all safety and liability issues that arise with that. And, not all factory robots are contained in an enclosure, they are in free 3D space; what interlock would you suggest to keep a human out? Visual, ultrasonic? I simply ask who takes responsibility for general machine programming Safety if there is not a simple enclosure interlock situation? BTW, she didn't get by an interlock; apparently there was not one there - which is my point exactly. BTW, a previous fatal incident the proposed fine was <$100k, not a shut down - that doesn't seem much of a disincentive to me.

Thanks for the clarification. I was remembering what my doctor and some news articles told me a few years ago, both of which I'm sure gave dumbed down information.

The end result seems to be what I expected, just not the underlying cause. Regardless, it was a huge wake up call to not just treat diet soda like it was basically water.
It's fun to watch Europeans (like myself) use ATMs in the US.

They insert the card. Nothing happens. After a while they get confused and pull out the card. By then some infomercial is playing.

Eventually they figure out you're supposed to swipe your card in the ATM. There is nothing on the machine that tells them to do so. European ATMs tend to be wonders of usability in comparison.

It's an interesting UX lesson.

Not really. The ultimate off switch for every appliance is that appliance burning out. And quite a lot of dangers to the power grid include, or would cause, physical destruction of key infrastructure elements.
I have different opinion on that matter. Sure, some of his points are valid, I even agree with some of them but not all and not always. That's why disclaimers exist, for that reason. Especially when there are cases of glorifying your own product and bashing others.

I like that they begin by addressing the use of the word "predictive". How we frame an issue deeply effects how it is received, perceived, and accepted.
No, but I take an active interest when people starts blaming religion.

I also think I have a feeling for how at least a subset of religious people think.

If it actually gave both versions of the same number, that would be fine. But this way is just confusing. It would be like saying "Mt Everest is nearly 6 miles high, or in other words more than 16000 feet higher than Mt Fuji"
I think you have it backwards. The radar will not initiate braking events for newly discovered stationary objects. Once it has human feedback from multiple sources, the object will be whitelisted and cause braking events.

blacklisting would cause the behaviour you describe.
Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon are among the most beautiful pieces of land probably in the world and certainly in the country.

Just because there's other pretty, lesser known stuff around does not make these things any less spectacular.

What? BMW selling "fully electric" i3's is certainly news to me. Weren't all i3's hybrids?
Exactly. There is little incentive for them to compete on price when they can instead play games with it due to information asymmetry and sales tactics.
Good ol' times. Wonder if one can make a Google query to get old keys, ripe for cracking
What do you mean by "complex" and compared to what?

"Complex" is different from "complicated". Just as "easy" is different from "simple".

Enterprise solutions seem pretty complex, but if you're focusing on small businesses, then even a mobile app could be considered complex.

Completely depends on the situation.
FCC yes... I did that when I had an issue with AT&T not wanting to unlock a phone that I just bought (pre-paid) and I got a call from AT&T the next day.
I think a point you haven't considered when talking about bias is bias going the other direction. That is, if he were to mark his, technically oriented mind you, posts with information that he works on Rust it's possible that it will instill a bias among readers. Regardless of his association with Rust as a project he knows technical details and that's what's important in posts like this regardless of potential bias.
I think that's part of the problem to solve. I think there's a happy medium: A town big enough to support a few large groceries and a couple of big box stores, but small enough to not be a traffic nightmare (hopefully walkable/bikable for most and maybe even with a small but efficient mass transit system). Very few people need to live in rural areas, anymore, but also few people need to live in the most populous and most expensive cities, except for the opportunities those bigger cities provide.

I guess I wasn't clear when saying that I think we should spread out again, I did not mean I think people should live on ranches or farms, 3 miles from their nearest neighbor and 30 miles to the nearest tiny town. That's not what the future looks like, I would hope. But, small to mid-sized towns can be reasonably dense, and can provide reasonable amenities. There are towns like this that don't get a lot of attention, and I tend to like to visit them (I'm parked in Eugene, Oregon right now, and both Eugene and Springfield match the description I've just given...though Eugene, in particular, is maybe on the large, and expensive, side of the model I'm envisioning). But, there are others: Asheville, NC and Denton, TX spring to mind as excellent examples. Real estate isn't super cheap in these cities, but it's not outrageous, either. There's plenty of shopping, plenty of entertainment, plenty of stuff to do and see, but without the soul-crushing traffic jams, and dehumanizing crowds, of (sort of) nearby Atlanta or Austin.
I don't know what 'shadow flagging' would be; this article was plain old flagged (i.e. users clicked the 'flag' link).
I don't think UBI will fix any current welfare systems. It doesn't fix anything. It changes everything.
I believe it can be done gradually. But no one should expect to preserve the status quo in long term. Any attempt to implement it should consider this: UBI will change our society forever. Hopefully for the better, but not necessarily.
I was not taught this.

As a young student I was first taught to be thankful to the Native Americans for helping the first European settlers learn how to farm and live on the continent. That idea is enshrined in the national holiday of Thanksgiving.

Later, as teenage students, we learned more of the gory details of the displacement of Native Americans. There's no way to undo history, but we definitely learn that behavior was wrong.

The evidence, in the form of renamed sports teams, place names, and the pending $20 bill redesign, along with tourism numbers that far exceed those implied in "Why Do Tourists Visit..." article, all indicate that attempts to teach Americans about the tragedy of our past behavior are making a positive difference.
The "lists" are actually arrays, so access by index is constant-time. You can build a hashtable on top of that. I'd like to add built-in support for maps at some point, but it's one of a very large number of wishlist items...

The plural of anecdote is not data. Yes, it's a pithy saying, but it's completely true. Scientific validity requires changing one variable, and only one variable, and seeing if there is an observed effect. The real world is noisy, and anything involving biology incredibly so, which means you need larger sample sizes to distinguish signal from noise. We also know that there is some degree of mental control over physiology--see psychosomatic disorders and the placebo effect--but controlling for that is fiendishly difficult when you can't double-blind the study.

Given the baseline potential for high statistical noise, biological studies in general tend to have poor rigor. fMRI, which you've cited, is notorious for giving problematic results (see the dead salmon study).
Not to mention that this in the middle of party realignment; the Democratic and Republican parties were in the middle of switching sides on the political spectrum.

Why?
Do you honestly feel like this comment would help a person to see your side of this?

It's a basic assumption that anyone who speaks positively about a thing is biased in favor of that thing. We don't need to point out every instance of that bias because it would dominate every discussion while providing no value because it is something everyone fundamentally assumes in the first place.
Universal healthcare is probably a good idea. And while it is a form of basic income, it feels fairly orthogonal to it politically.

I'm not really sure why an "old age and unemployment" security net is intrinsically more politically stable than a "basic income" social security net. You need some deal of political cleverness to implement both.
I read it the same way as karyon. Whitelisting something means recognising it in a known-good way (in this case, "we know that's an overhead sign"), whereas blacklisting means known-bad.
Yeah, that would be great. Thanks!
Your plan sounds like utopia for me. I don't know how it would happen, however. Maybe some show in the style of 'Portlandia', silly yet demonstrating true lifestyles, in order to attract people.

Fantastic read! Now why can't all technical and scientific journalism hold itself to this standard? Instead of making the prevailing assumption that your average reader has the I.Q. of a parsnip and the scientific literacy of a kindergartener ;)

Have always felt single-crystal foundaries could be a great driver for building low Earth orbit microgravity factories. There has been extensive research in the labs on ISS dedicated to making highly spherical ball bearings, long macromolecular protein crystals and extreme density refractory metal composites. But is anyone contemplating large scale commercial production? With the cost of delivery dropping, it seems like it might be a idea worth re-considering!

The reason Servo in particular would like GC hooks is because JavaScript is GCd and we want to be able to pass around Spidermonkey-managed pointers safely. We have a framework in place that does this, but proper compiler support would be nice.

Servo doesn't need to worry about finalizers because our DOM structs never have nontrivial destructors (explicit Drop impls).

The blog post throws around some ideas for dealing with the finalized problem though.

If you choose to turn off your brain when you have more information about person that is giving his personal opinions then it's your own choice.

What Google learned from its quest to build the perfect team
> Given that Rust was designed by a group known for writing web browsers, how does that work out in practice, given that the DOM is a deep bidirectional graph?

I believe that the JS engine has ownership over the DOM, and pointers into the DOM are GC'd by the JS engine. This is part of the motivation for adding hooks for GC's in Rust. These posts [1][2] discusses this, although I think there is a more recent one. Edit: more recent one here [4].

> Now, I'm not sure how you would encode this into a compiler, so the discussion may have to end there as being impractical to implement.

This seems like a good use case for a Weak<> pointer [3].

Yeah, and when the Alabama district maps were revised in 2010 (as they must be, to keep up with population numbers), the Alabama state legislature followed Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act and avoided reducing the black population in majority-black districts.

But...that was more helpful the Republicans that Democrats, so the Democrats (after arguing on the side of VRA for a few decades) reversed and wanted the Supreme Court to strike down the Voting Rights Act.
