Fair enough. I have.

> There are just too many "tags" (often one per line or group of lines).

Where the burden outweighs the benefit, you always have the freedom of typing things too loosely - to be sure, without something like refinement types, there is a granularity you can easily try for that's just not worthwhile.
But that's a pretty different thing than "can't be expressed with mainstream type systems at all." For me, the questions are 1) how far does this type move information in its use through the program, and 2) what part of these are likely to change in ways such that I'll want to be notified about this piece of code here?
"Statistical outliers" are more important than their frequency suggests. Architecture lock-in shifts political power away from developers and to CPU vendors.
Not really. While this is widely believed, it's apocryphal. [0]

If we do believe the apocryphal account, there are still a couple of issues. First, it doesn't imbue a duty to vote for a Mormon guy. If the Constitution really were in maximum danger, it'd be dubious that voting in a normal election would be the mechanism used to save it.

Second, it doesn't say that a Mormon will save the Constitution by becoming president or anything like that. It says the Elders of Israel (that is, the men of the Church) will save it. That means more than voting for one guy. It probably means something more like being instrumental in a major cultural adjustment that would cause the principles in the Constitution to be valued again. This is harder than voting, so people don't prefer this interpretation.

It may not even be literal -- the Constitution could be suspended/ineffective in what we now know as the U.S., but "saved" by Mormon elders who set up a separate government that substantially respects its principles.

Whether one accepts this apocryphal prophecy or not, it does not mean Mormon candidates should be favored, and IMO, it shouldn't be a significant factor for Mormon voters.

I store my photos on Amazon cloud drive as a 2nd backup, already using OneDrive for the same purpose that came with office 365. The benefit of ACD is that it doesn't automatically sync, which is a plus in the age of ransomware (there's unofficial tools for automatic sync)
The designers argued that a million-line software (the OS + basic applications) was easier to debug/develop without having TCO everywhere. It makes stack traces useless, unless one thinks of clever ways to keep tail calls recorded, which makes it complex/tricky. The basic machine architecture is a stack machine with compact and nice instructions. Stack traces were useful then. The compiler also was not very sophisticated when it comes to optimizations.
GPUs have GDDR5 and that is primarily what allows them to dominate in so many applications. Many of them are primarily memory-bound and not computation-bound. This means that the super-fast GDDR memory and the algorithms which can do a predictable linear walk through memory get an enormous speed boost over almost anything else out there.

I agree that an AI could be tricked into believing it's environment is the real world when it's only a simulation, just as we could be AIs in a simulation. But this doesn't preclude the possibility of an AI being able to completely inspect/understand the hardware it's running on in the real world, if given the fact that it actually is running on hardware in the real world.
OpenFirmware was also the firmware (~BIOS) for the One Laptop Per Child XO. The software was open sourced for OLPC and is online here: https://www.openfirmware.info/Open_Firmware. This is the same code that was developed at Sun and evolved for Mitch Bradley's projects ever since. (I _think_ that Apple wrote their own interface-compatible implementation mostly in C.)

Engineers who are capable of both give you far more flexibility. This is more important on a small team than a large engineering department. Note that they don't have to be equally strong in both, just capable of contributing good code if you have an imbalance of work on one side or the other for a few sprints or if the person who's stronger on the other end is on vacation or busy firefighting or whatever.

People do still write PHP like this, because they aren't even aware that SQL injection is a thing. I've seen it in code written relatively recently.

>if(!ctype_digit($_POST['ID'])) { // throw exception here }

You forgot to check that the index "ID" exists first, that will throw a warning if it doesn't.

So, you can only place an order that, at the time of order entry, you intend to get filled. However, as the market changes, your intentions may change, and that is completely fair. So, while you may initially want to get filled, if you see the market moving against you, you may decide you want a better price, and then move it or cancel it.

So, it's all about initial intent, which is extremely difficult to prove. And that's why most traders who are well known to spoof markets haven't been prosecuted (see 3Red's Igor Oystacher), because they are smart enough to hide their intentions.

Sarao, on the other hand, wrote emails where he stated exactly what he was doing. For example, in the indictment, they have emails where he wrote that wants an order type that will never get filled, and if it looks like he is close to getting filled, to immediately cancel. Without those emails, he would've been able to at least make up some defense. When he has stated in writing that he is placing orders that he does not want to get filled, well, that's a very prosecution.

Ask HN: Is it recommended to use a secondary laptop for malware analysis?
I picked up a copy of "Practical Malware Analysis" to get started with malware analysis and reverse engineering. One concern I have, especially after reading the VM setup chapter, is doing malware analysis in a VM on a primary computer. Apparently malware can detect if its running in a virtualized environment, and try to exploit any vulnerabilities to escape it's sandbox to infect the host system.

Now, I have a fancy $2300 MacBook Pro, and I'd be devastated if I messed it up by being careless. I was considering picking up a used Thinkpad for like $150, maybe installing a small SSD and upgrading RAM. Total cost would be more or less $300 and a peace of mind not caring if the laptop gets killed or screwed up.

I want to hear some insight from experienced folks about their thoughts on the topic, if its worth getting a secondary laptop or if I'm being paranoid and can safely run all malware in a VM on my MBP. Thanks!

A nationwide recount (or multiple statewide recounts) is bigger and more complicated than a single statewide recount. How is that not reasonable grounds for opposing NPV?

It is worth considering that if the size of the House had been permitted to grow as originally intended, then the difference between the NPV and the EC basically disappears. For instance, I believe that Gore would have won in 2000 had the House been double or triple in size (I forget exactly where, but somewhere around there). So that's a point in favor of the popular vote.

Huntsman torpedoed himself super early in the 2012 cycle by acting ashamed of his Mormon background on national TV. This alienated his base Mormon/Utah constituency, which would've been instrumental in propelling him to major primary candidate status, and made everyone else think he was a traitor.

Really sad, because 2 major Mormon candidates in the primary would've required Mormons to pay some consideration to the policies instead of just voting for the candidate that was most like themselves.

Statins are only about 20 years old. As are hypertensive drugs. Both have had clear impacts on longevity.

Can we be so sure that the next generation of superdrug won't give rise to a comparable revolution in reducing risk? I'm not, and I work in the pharma industry.

True, I'm not especially upbeat about the prospects of jobs here or the survival of individual pharma companies (oft mismanaged, IMO). But I do believe major innovations are on the horizon and may have major impacts, bigger than the aforementioned statins.

Gene therapy, pluripotent cell line therapy, immune system driven therapy -- these all have stunning potential on a wide range of targets. Yes, the future of traditional small molecule drugs is cloudy. But the next generation of genomics and biologics may blow your socks off.
> Ah, but if he's as smart as you say, he knows that there is no alternative to the choice between Trump and Clinton at this point. That ship has sailed.

Not necessarily. Not if neither Trump nor Clinton win a majority of the electoral votes.

Now, at the moment, that looks unlikely. Trump is self-destructing so badly that Clinton will probably win a majority, with or without Utah. But if McMullin wins Utah, and Johnson wins New Mexico and maybe another state, it might be possible.

Then we'd need Congress to not just vote for Trump and Clinton. That would take more statesmanship and less partisanship than I've seen from Congress in a while.

So realistically, there's not much hope. But there's still a chance...

If you want an even closer example, it would be OCaml with its structurally typed object system with inferred types. For example:

# let f obj x y = (obj#m x)#n y;;
val f : < m : 'a -> < n : 'b -> 'c; .. >; .. > -> 'a -> 'b -> 'c = <fun>

Here I defined a function taking 3 arguments, called method m on obj, passing x as argument, then called method n on the result of that, passing y as argument.

Note the inferred type signature for this: the first argument is of type <m : 'a -> <n : 'b -> 'c; ..>; ..> - i.e. any object that has a method named m (and possibly some other unspecified members - that's what ".." means), with said method m having a signature that allows us to pass some 'a, and returning another object of type <n : 'b -> 'c; ..> - i.e. something with a method named n that accepts 'b and returns 'c. 'a and 'b' are then used as types of x and y, respectively, and 'c is the the result of f.

So effectively, this is full-fledged duck typing in the vein of Python objects, but captured on type system level.

Will echo what others said. Dropbox works - and it works cross-platform. I have linux, mac & windows desktops/laptops and iphones/ipads... dropbox has a complete cross-platform solution which integrates well with the native file browsing mechanism. I won't even consider icloud.

My use of dropbox has grown - but I primarily used it to store and retrieve a lot of data that I was analyzing when did my PhD. The data were several 100 GB in size. The 1 TB solution came quite handy. I also moved between my mac & linux during that time. I just had my files when I needed them.

At one place I worked I put in a 4pm deadline on deploys, because I was tired of the devs seeing the end of the day as their deadline, tossing it over the fence to me, and then sodding off at 5. Invariably, it led to me trying to hunt someone down at a time when everyone was commuting home or similar. 4pm was enough time to do the deploy determine if something went wrong, and get the relevant dev started on the fix.
In the words of one /pol/ poster:

"/pol/ is winning because it's funnier than the people that despise it, it's that simple. Being authoritarian isn't funny. Tumblr, leddit, they're funny like a commercial is funny, they can be clever, they can be witty, but they'll never be gut-laugh, -holy shit- funny, because they never confront anything they're not supposed to, they never color outside the lines. They talk like they're resisting something, but all they do is agree with each other. They slay the sacred cows they've been conditioned to hate, and they ignore the elephants in the room they're conditioned not to see, and they'll always be like that because they're clever, educated pussies.

/pol/ is full of angry racist conspiracy theorists, but it's fucking hilarious. /pol/ might not always tell you the truth, but it will tell you the closest thing to an honest truth it can see, and it will laugh at you for being offended by it. The fact that /pol/ is starting to influence 4chan in general means that the sacred cows we're slaying are actually sacred, and people are laughing in spite of themselves. It's stupid and weird and it's too simplistic and old-fashioned to be true, but you're laughing anyways.

That's how it begins."

Apple Stores Removing Security Tethers from iPhone Display Models
I would like to know more. My experience with university license teams has been that they rarely sell patents to anyone -- for the most part, they provide a license. In the deals I've been involved with, the license specifically requires that the licensee be practicing the patent within some period, or the license is canceled.

I'm curious if these represent cases where the universities sold patents to practicing entities, and then they got shuffled over to trolls in liquidation sales or re-orgs?
I am curious what your opinion is of these? I personally find this practice loathsome. Was this something that happened after speaking to a human or was this the initial screening?

Even though I have 3 Apple devices, I cannot use iCloud because I also use non-Apple devices, like Linux, Windows and Android. Yes, all of them. Dropbox has support for all, including Linux, which is a big deal.

Dropbox also does file versioning. You get an addon and it does versioning for a year. You cannot speak of having backups without this feature and iCloud doesn't. Get a ransomeware on your computer and you'll see what I'm talking about ;-)

And also, once you get in the habit of saving stuff, 1 TB is really not that much. My personal photo/video archive is 90 GB. I have another 20 GB of online presentations I gave to colleagues, archived just in case, about 10 GB of music, 30 GB of movies (mostly for my son, as he'd be really upset without his favorites), recovery stuff, project backups, all in all I exceed 200 GB. Actually at the rate I'm growing, 1 TB might soon be insufficient.

I also understand the reluctance to pay for stuff, but personally I think my data deserves the price of 2-3 coffees per month. My personal email deserves another coffee or two.
