Well, the title is a bit inflammatory. Thoughts:

* I have an IRC client installed, yet never use it except in those few cases where the community I need to talk to only uses IRC.

* The few times I've had companies try to make IRC the dominant in-house private communications channel, it's failed utterly despite a lot of people signing on to begin with.

* IRC doesn't make file transfer easy.

* IRC doesn't support voice chat natively.

* IRC doesn't support integration with desktop, mobile, and email easily.

* IRC doesn't keep a forever-history that is instantly available when someone connects to a channel (if it does, then my clients haven't supported such a thing).

* Companies that need to send notifications to your work group (things like Rollup.js or a continuous integration server) all seem to integrate with Slack. Not so much IRC.

* I finally installed Slack to chat with a couple of local tech communities, and quickly discovered that Slack is in fact awesome, in that it does all of the above.

Before you tell me how this client does X or that client does Y, well, I've tried several, and none did all of the above well. Even if there is such an open source client out there, well, the Slack client does the job well and everyone already has it installed.

And frankly I don't want Yet Another Chat App to install. The fewer the better. This is a domain where network effects rule.

So, it does nothing to take into account the fact that if every car tomorrow switched to electric, we'd literally have no way to power the cars. The price of electricity would skyrocket to reflect the complete and utter lack of generation capabilities.

It's great to talk about how electricity is cheaper at rates that are unsustainable, but unless we're willing to adopt nuclear, we're a LONG way from having enough energy and enough of it in a clean format to power our energy needs.

I know, I know - solar and wind (which will help but not solve the whole issue). That being said, I still have questions about how pulling that much energy and heat from the earth will affect our larger ecosystem. I don't think we REALLY have a grasp on the macro effects of "renewable" energy.

For me it's about lessening the mental taxation that often comes with the added responsibility of owning things. Mostly from giving you more choices and more things to tend to or care about (even if subconscious). Having to decide what to wear, what to eat for dinner or what to buy at the grocery store might seem like trivial things, but when all of these small things are compounded they end up consuming a large part of your mental energy. Owning less things is just one effort to free up that mental energy to be able to use it elsewhere.

Edit: wording

Provide some evidence that Clinton had anything to do with birtherism and then we can discuss how racist she is. So far no one has produced any evidence at all to back this claim. Ditto for the Muslim claim.

http://www.factcheck.org/2015/07/was-hillary-clinton-the-ori...

It's also really not compelling to defend an outspoken racist by pointing out that his opponent may also be racist, even if it were true.
If the "small amount of electricity" required to kickstart this reaction is less than the electricity generated by burning the Ethanol, is this a perpetual motion machine? It's still a chemical process but the wording makes me think it's a net energy producer.
There's one big obvious advantage of open source registries, from the perspective of registrars: You can look at our source code and figure out exactly what we're doing.

I applaud the Ecuadorian government's attempt to at least distance themselves from this latest attempt by Wikileaks to influence our democratic process.

While in the past I viewed WL as a crucial part of openness and democracy, I'm very suspicious of their current sources, and their intentions. Not to mention Assange's personal interests (he expressed hatred towards Hillary - wonder what he thinks of Trump).

>"The Government of Ecuador respects the principle of non-intervention in the affairs of other countries".

A not so subtle hint to the fact that our country does not. For years we've meddled in the elections of countries around the world - directly and indirectly. We are still doing it in some parts, overtly supporting regimes that we like, and covertly derailing potential candidates who we assume will not play by our rules.

Your last example of the hyperintelligent space heater is exactly my point - the Turing test is a test of the (necessary) precondition of communication, but NOT a sufficient test of intelligence. In your example, the black box AI is assumed to be intelligent, but would still fail the Turing test - because intelligence is not a necessary condition for passing. Communicability IS necessary for the test.

A passing grade on the Turing test just indicates intelligence is possible, but excludes assured intelligence in the absence of communication ability, which is why I argue it is not a sufficient guarantee of intelligence.

You make a good point with the hiring example about the distinction between "intelligent" and "intelligent enough to do some things" - our disagreement may be stemming from us having differing definitions of "an intelligence". Need to think about it.

Here's hoping the Note 7 fiasco teaches something to the phone manufacturers regarding the convenience of replaceable batteries.
"Calls to mutate state, such as changing the name field, should be rare."

Says who?

For example, there is a business requirement that we know the on-hand quantity of some item in the warehouse.

It's a busy warehouse, and we keep picking that item for delivery, and replenishing it from our suppliers.

So, the quantity of the item keeps mutating.

How do you propose to deal with the above? Tell the warehouse people that they should only do their thing "rarely"?
Seriously.
The important question is whether they knew they were committing a crime. Did all of Bernie Madoff's employees end up in jail? I'm pretty sure most of them didn't have any idea what he was doing, but feel free to correct me.

One qualifier would be giving a full speech at either the democrat or republican convention. That's intentionally putting yourself into the political system, and it's okay if people make business decisions based on it.
It seems like your assertion here is that Clinton's supporters skew low income because they're college students being subsidized by their parents and not actual low income workers or unemployed non-dependents. So while your own poll in the other thread basically rejects that by giving the share of voters for family income and not individual income, you still haven't actually given any data to support this. All you've done is tell me I'm wrong about what the definition of class is without an alternate definition.

You also haven't done any work towards arguing against the fact that voters for Trump fundamentally don't live in areas with high immigrant populations or where their jobs were moved overseas. In other words the notion that Trump voters support immigration reform and trade protectionism because they have bad run-ins with our current policies on these issues.

Face it, Trump voters are bigots.

For anyone interested in similar tools, Microsoft recently published a protocol[1] for this type of service, and an implementation[2] of it for VSCode+NodeJS.

Swift also has a library[3] called SourceKit which does the same thing for Swift – it can run as an out-of-process daemon, and people have written integrations for Atom, Emacs, etc. to get autocomplete, syntax highlighting, def links, etc.

To add my 2 cents, immutable history is more of an annoyance than anything. If someone checks in something by mistake that absolutely must be removed (e.g. something that contains a password), it is a considerable undertaking to actually remove that commit from the repository.
this dovetails nicely with our existing problem of excess heat on the earth :)
Even if it produces more energy than it consumes, at best it would be an inefficient hydrogen powered engine.

Well, the thing is, your face isn't private information.

I'm usually all for paranoia when it comes to the police but knowing your identity based on your appearance isn't really a violation of your rights.

Facebook likely automatically builds a profile for every face it can recognize in a photograph, as well as approximate dates and times based on landmarks, shadow geometry and timestamps, building an ad-hoc and constantly updated dossier of travel times, places and associations, and feeds it into some kind of predictive machine learning algorithm designed to model, predict and influence the behavior of people who aren't even on Facebook yet.

And they're secret best buds with the NSA.

But the police actually knowing someone is who they they think they are might actually be a net positive in terms of public safety. It seems like a step up from "nondescript black male, 18-35, possibly wearing clothes."
It looks like a list of stuff with no particular criteria of being "Awesome". I think, for a list like this, you need a better way to get community feedback to get some kind of feel whether the tools are 1) still relevant and maintained 2) Are actually awesome

A fascinating story, and I hope you have a blog somewhere. Please post its URL if you do. As an aside you mentioned that you hoped a boss would recognize what you were doing and take an active interest in it. One thing I learned too late in my professional life is that you must actively sell yourself. People have so many things to do these days that even a good boss may not notice you. Have you noticed how there are people in your company who succeeded who are not as smart as you? It's because they put in the shoe leather selling themselves. I started my own successful company and no longer have that problem, but I cringe when I think about the things I could have got done at places like Microsoft had I been a better self-promoter.
Indeed, the RLS uses that protocol to communicate with IDEs.

Remember that the my standard C lib or whatever can be statically linked as well. At that point, I'm left with syscalls.

Docker containers depend on syscalls too; it's not like they ship with their own kernel. (If they did, they'd be VMs.)
He's notoriously bad with all technology. I love this clip of him talking about, and then trying to change the clock in his car for Daylight Saving Time: http://www.nfl.com/videos/new-england-patriots/09000d5d8226f...
As someone who has an electric car, this completely disregards the fact that by having an electric car, it nearly automatically puts you into a higher electricity cost tier. In my case, it's $0.10/kWh for the normal, and $0.18/kWh for the higher tier. They're using the "average" cost of electricity which should be lower than the actual cost of electricity. I ended up getting solar panels, so that dropped me back down to using very little electricity from the local municipal electricity company and saving at least $100/month when taking into account the cost of the solar panels.
> So I feel it’s all inevitable. I don’t know what it will be, but we are entering a bad phase.

I don't regard "it will be bad", plus a hypothetical, as "telling us what will happen next".

Announced right when it's most effective in distracting from the really dubious pedo allegation against Assange - which itself happened right when he was unable to respond due to his internet connection being cut - imploding under the most basic journalistic investigation, and from the way it spread like wildfire amongst Clinton supporters despite absolutely reeking: https://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/the-bizarre-story-o...

I mean, I guess it's probably not all intentional, but the timing of events sure does hate the guy right now.

Obviously? Do you think Thiel is spending his money after the election?

The wording seems designed to suggest something nefarious going on when at least with WikiLeaks you get original material instead of you know SuperPAC radio spots.
To go into more detail than I was able to fit into the blog post (and keep in mind that I'm writing from my perspective, not ICANN's):

It definitely increases choice. Before the gTLD expansion, you had your choice of the existing legacy gTLDs, your country's ccTLD, and some ccTLDs from other countries that don't have strict location requirements. That's easily under 100 choices. Contrast with now, post-TLD expansion, in which you have over a thousand choices.

There are more opportunities for technical innovation, though admittedly most of the new TLDs so far have been generic open TLDs. But you can imagine all sorts of new things that are possible with closed or restricted TLDs. Some random ideas include: An entire TLD whose registrations are backed by Namecoin or some other blockchain, a secure TLD with really stringent identity verification requirements to cut down on scamming, and a TLD on which domain names never expire and don't have renewal costs (you'd pay more up front for one, understandably). I'm just throwing random ideas out here; this isn't anything we're necessarily working on. But you can imagine lots more possibilities.
I think it's a side effect of having a punishing language. Coding Rust is always described as fighting with the compiler, I don't think Rust would have ever taken off if there weren't great tools to fight the compiler with. I think that's a part of it, anyway.
See also http://www.mapeditor.org/ which is another good software in that space.
Nothing you just said invalidates the test.

X is a demonstration of intelligence says nothing about not X.

If you can design something that passes an arbitrary touring tests yes it is intelligent. For example I could teach it any subject that works in text format. It could then pass an open ended essay test. And get a reasonable essay.

Now, you could do the same thing with a pig and it would fail the test despite being more intelligent than the average dog. That just means there are limits.
for what it's worth, the "OK Google" functionality in my Android phone is trained against my voice and does a pretty good job at rejecting my wife's and coworkers commands.
The main reason for my question is exactly that - if it's potentially self-sustaining we'd end up with less CO2 in the atmosphere without the expense of powering the system. Of course, we'd still have to figure out where to store all the Ethanol as letting it evaporate back into the air wouldn't be at all helpful.

Killing a process on an exception you can't handle is sort of best practice anyway in Node--assuming you're not building important financial services or whatever in Node (lol).

Why is the plane going faster? Less resistance from the wind due to the smaller speed difference? I don't believe the air can push the airplane...

But does that make it any more likely they'll invade Estonia or Latvia as NATO is currently claiming (my original point)? That is such an unlikely scenario that would end very badly for Russia. Yet we're being sold this as a plausible scenario and the militaries in a number of countries are spending massive amounts in preparation and sabre rattling.

I'm not saying they didn't do those things or were justified. But that was a very different scenario as Ukraine was very unstable.

The Syrian stuff is a whole other beast. US partners like Saudis and Qatar are supporting some pretty awful stuff in Yemen and Syria too. Even the supposedly moderate rebels the US is backing were apparently extremely hostile to US soldiers who deployed in a village recently, calling them invader devils. Aleppo is bad but if the rebels took the save exit to other towns as the UN chief offered then the horror the civilians stuck there are facing would end. The cease fire failed so I'm not sure what their plan is as the US isn't going to double down. Unless they are betting on Clinton being a war hawk.
The Dart team have done a similar thing
I would only consider it meddling if they were doing something like rigging results or spreading false information. I don't see releasing what appear to be authentic emails any different than the recent Trump tape. As someone who is going to vote I would rather have more information and not less.

I haven't heard of this. Whenever I see discussion of EV charging rates from owners, it's in the context of taking advantage of extra-cheap overnight rates. I'm sure what you say is the case in some places, but are you sure this is common?
Additionally, most of the stress on an aircraft is from pressurisation/depressurisation. So most flights cause similar amounts of wear on the aircraft regardless of flight time.
To me, Fork has the cleanest UI, although sometimes I prefer GitKraken. Things seem a little closer to the surface sometime with GitKraken. Ultimately, though, nothing has really beaten the command line, and that's where I still do most of my git work.
Thiel doesn't claim to be a nonpartisan advocate for privacy. Thiel's support for Trump is frankly baffling, and worth condemning. However, Assange spent years claiming to be on the side of transparency and being above politics. Then, he intentionally timed new releases to be most impactful in the elections, almost certainly at the direction of Russia. Regardless of who you are voting for, he's lost all credibility as a transparency advocate, and has been revealed to be a propagandist.
And for a lot of what is stored on them, like music, photos and movies that speed is totally unnecessary.

It's the same reason I still have both an SSD and HDD in my computer. I use the fast expensive storage for things that effect performance and the slower but much cheaper storage for my "bulk media" needs.
We mainly get data from where planes and weather balloons travel -- there's no way to get detailed data about the entire volume of the atmosphere (although it's being worked on.)

As a result, models get initialized by the output of previous models, and the main thing that keeps them somewhat close to reality is the data we collect on the surface.

Also, since a plane flight takes several hours, you really need a prediction to pick the correct path, not just the data right now.
