Not quite correct - we already had a method of generating test data (for dev installs of reddit) that uses markov chains, and that was basically the inspiration for SubredditSimulator. SS was just meant to be kind of a larger, ongoing version of that, running on reddit itself.
That's not really a good counter example. It's more of a mistake on a release...
Wow, this is a treasure chest of information. Bookmarked for sure.
"Functional language" is ill-defined, hence my specific question about static typing and purity. I would really like to have a language for scientific computing that had good scalable performance as well as static types and referential transparency.
The difficulty I see with MBTI is that the categories were decided in advance, whereas they should be determined based on the data. In other words, MBTI treats human personality as a classification problem (which of these categories do you belong to?) where it should be treated as a clustering problem (which categories even exist?)

I'd love to do some data mining on a large MBTI test database. Better yet, a large database of people's responses to various personality-oriented questions, MBTI or not.

Certainly considering the uncountable victims, quibbling over semantics might seem absurd.

But I think it is very productive to look very closely at the exact rhetoric that caused murderous excesses of WWII with a view toward prevention.

After all, both Germany and Japan were not very unusual in the generations before the war. And are today among the most charmingly pacifist countries on the planet.

But somewhere in the 1930s their leadership whipped their people into a murderous frenzy using what looks like different rhetoric (and with absurdly primitive media technology too). It would be informative to know exactly how and that I suggest requires looking closely at the details of the propaganda.

The counter reports all heap-allocated memory, not just memory that persists after the function call, and the description in the post doesn't look quite right. The 208 bytes come almost entirely from calling the function from the global scope. Inside a function, there would only be 16 bytes of memory allocated on the heap, for the generator itself (which we desperately want to get rid of, but that is still WIP) and the return value would live in registers or on the stack.

For a bit of a spoiler: we've figured out that the rewiring on the control board converted it to work with a 3K RAM board. But we have a 1K RAM board which has a couple incompatible pins, grounding the signals we need. I don't know why our Alto would have incompatible boards unless some boards were swapped at some point. So we'll probably get a 3K RAM board and hopefully everything will work. If not, we may undo the rewiring.

I get a lot of shit for not giving straight answers... just spin up an instance, put a gig of data on EBS drive, snapshot, create EBS from snapshot as if you were recovering, and try pulling 100+ megs of data off it... you'll never not keep EBS copies again. big clue: pre-warming

it will take you an hour to do, and you'll be years wiser

this is probably the number one reason people experience extra extra downtime when suffering from rebuild from whatever issue... and EBS volumes in certain regions can and will experience silent deaths

ASM.js and Emscripten for the win!
I find it quite discouraging to see so many harsh sentiments towards the developer. Everything that he did and the publicly stated reasons behind them are plausible. In my view the data so far indicate that he played by the rules. In particular he did a charitable thing to pay somebody else’s Developer Program Membership and donate a device, which there is no rule against.

Apple on its side have followed its script which also seems to be entirely plausible and in good faith. However, their course of action does apparently not cover the corner case of contacting all account owners to linked accounts before shutting them down. The agreement allows for third party account payment albeit with some slight inconveniences. In addition, the rules for account linking, and it’s very existence is hidden from the developer party, so (s)he has no responsibility to relate to it, or whatever else is outside of the agreement.

People may not like the style the developer has done his part. Nevertheless his story is plausible and consistent, however improbable. Recording phone calls without consent of the other party may be legal in his country; I know it is in mine.

Apple has been caught with its pants down but because of the immense power imbalance, the developer, trough no fault of his own, is set to suffer with no recourse, unless there are stings attached. I find it infuriating that he has to do anything at all to set straight a problem he did not cause.

From this point whatever bad publicity Apple has incurred they have only them selves to blame. They should at least reverse the account lock, and for reestablishing whatever lost public confidence at a minimum produce an apology for the inconvenience.

This is how I understand it from what I have read so far. If any new indications appear to make me change my mind I may do so.

> healthier lives, with less disease

Seems unlikely. Citation needed.
Maybe we should leave the task of authentication, encryption and whatever phoning home these devices need to do to some kind of industry standard relaying protocol that lives on a router. You would then only need updating the router to keep any WAN activity safe for the IoT devices. Updates can also be delivered safely trough this mechanism, which lazy manufacturers would definitely still forget to do (but may be useful for keeping local network access safe , which would not rely on this mechanism).

That is, if router manufacturers could also keep their crap safe...

If you don't trust an off the shelf router for this, you could also use a computer setup as a router with such relaying software. It would be as simple as running a dhcp server or something.

Routers could also default to denying any authentication from WAN, with the user changing this policy on a per device basis or just allow eveything.

There's no evidence of this, so you should have doubts.
In fairness to the language and tools, this seems to be more of a cultural problem than anything.

You can do the same kind of version range tricks in typical Java builds, for example (Maven), but most people hardcode the values to keep builds as deterministic as possible.

For some reason, the JS community seems to prefer just trusting that new versions won't break anything. Its either very brave of them really (or maybe just foolish).

That seems to be self-contradictory, especially because elsewhere in the document it says

But nowhere on that page can I find an explanation of what's actually wrong with it.

Like much repression, we are not conscious to it. When it's not validated to us by a larger movement in terms we can perceive, it's easy to convince ourselves it's not happening and it's actually a problem with ourselves. Just as the contemporary feminist movement is making excellent and impressive strides to wake us up to the reality of how men have been extraordinarily repressing women, studies like this are the first beams of light pointing out that which we could never previously put words to.

Also, you mention your experience is focused in the startup world, which differs from the employment scene at large.

I don't use Atom at all, but after so much discussion about this issue I don't think there is a better solution. This clearly shows the difference in performance of a web-based text editor versus one built on top of a native UI library, but people prefer to sacrifice that performance for the nice interface and the extensibility, I suppose that many of these happy Atom users don't work on huge projects like some of us do, Atom works okay for what it offers.

I agree with you, but it is clear here that he is using Medium as his outlet to vent, and I think that is fine. Whether or not his tantrum is valid or even rational is not so much the point, in my opinion. He recognizes that he himself is a participant in the cult-like behavior that plagues the tech scene, and recognizing there is problem in the first place is a good start.
I think this is actually because of the changing interface. It doesn't matter how long the interface takes to be ready if the keystrokes are buffered (which they were), so you could press "menu down down down ok" and the thing would work, even if the menu took two seconds to show up.

You can't do that when you have to actually wait for the thing you want to select to show, otherwise you'll be selecting something completely different.

It is hard to say for me given that I am not very familiar with the situation. I met a guy who had a wife who were born in favelas. They do not live now in Brazil, just visit once a year. I do not know how much of it is factually correct, so please set me right if something of this is wrong.

First of he explained that Brazilian education system gets you trapped. While universities are free, the basic education is either expensive or so bad that it would not allow children to get into universities. So if you are born in favela, you can not get out of it based on your education. If this is like this by design and intentional, or just out of stupidity, I do not know. But I would conclude from this that also that there exists no social pressure in this community to get out of it as it is possibly regarded as almost impossible.

Second he explained that her wife went through serious hardship during the school age, as the school meal was for her only way to get something to eat. I would conclude from this that I could be that actually the children are not such a burden for parents in favelas - school system keeps them alive, they do not die from hunger and nobody gets blamed.

Third the average temperature in Rio is constantly >= 20 C. This means that nobody really has to prepare for prolonged period of cold. Nobody will die because they do not have proper housing or can not pay for the heating or have proper clothes.

Based on these 3 pieces of information I would the kids are for them not a burden, at least not in a sense I considered, in addition there is currently no force that would motivate to improve the situation.

So the solution would be more complicated. At least they are not motivated in children because of economical gains and it would possibly make the solution simpler.

PS. Please not the this is just an argumentation based on these small pieces of information. I would recommend to look up if there are some studies that would clarify this situation in a more systematic manner. Also I am certainly not claiming that this opinion piece reflects actual truth.

Not all men in tech are frilly little fancy boys/AP turbogeeks. I'm a high school dropout who rose from the bottom by saving up manual labor wages to attend a community college for two years, then managed to attend my state school for two years thanks to a transfer scholarship and pell grants. I finished the school's cs and math bachelors programs in their entirety in two years by overloading every semester and ruthless scheduling, while also working part-time. That said I support women in tech greatly. My wife is rapidly outpacing men of similar or greater experience levels in her current position because she simply works longer hours, does tons of off-hours self-healing, and focuses on what really matters to the team rather than working on pet projects of little importance.

What you have to understand is that statistically the models are very similar (you can compress them both into one unified model that does what both of them do quite well). However, the ways the models are constructed makes them useful for different things. The Big 5 is primarily useful for academics, and the MBTI is primarily useful for the rest of us.

If you are a logical positivist and scientific realist you'll never be able to grok this. As a utilitarian I understand that science is the process of making something that does something you want done.
