They do not hide that they are from BSD. man pages start with, for example,

LS(1) BSD General Commands Manual LS(1)

and end with

BSD May 19, 2002 BSD

Also, running strings on binaries such as cp or mv, "FreeBSD" is one of the first strings.

I don't think one can demand or expect more from a project that uses BSD-licensed userland (for gnu tools, one would expect '--help' to show the gnu heritage, but as far as I am aware, BSD tools typically don't have a 'help' feature)
I got this article a day before from a friend and he brought up the question which I have no answer for:
> what if all 14 are assassinated?
> 14 is not that many, especially when they meet occasionally

Then I was just reading the https://github.com/orisi/wiki/wiki/Orisi-White-Paper which has a "contract amendments" section saying:
"... if over 50% of oracles notice that one of them fell, they can transfer the contract funds to another multisig address, with the dead oracle replaced by another one, allowing for safe and long-term contract management."

which sounds like they don't have plan for 100% death rate either.

Lisp's Revenge
I really think you guys are misunderstanding my comment. Placing a button in a row is not a complex thing and frankly not something I spend a lot of time doing or worrying about. Look, it's just not. Does it require a new type of tool? IMO, no, it really doesn't.

I'm quite aware of the kinds of problems "other devs face", and they are far more complex than plopping a glorified view inside of another view and hooking up an action when someone taps it.

I simply do not see enough in Eve to convince me that it will significantly help with much more complicated things - things like what you describe - composition of complex business logic, layering complex build chains, etc - and here's a few other common things I don't see it providing significantly new and interesting support for:

- creation and management of complex data models and how they map down to SQL or NoSQL persistence
- orchestrating complex, multithreaded processes
- API design and management
- cloud infrastructure architecture, design and management
- container design and management
- transaction processing
- analytics

etc...

Could something like Eve progress to encompass those types of activities? Possibly (and frankly I'd love to see it - imagine something like Eve's UI for seamlessly managing infrastructure across Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and on-prem infrastructure - that would be amazing). But IMO, it's starting by solving the wrong kinds of problems by reinventing the wheel (new language).

Like I've said before, I don't need or want a new IDE or language to help me with trivial problems. I want tools that help with the harder stuff.
In the Airbnb case that would be a very thin bit of ice to skate on but these cases usually hinge on a large number of things that can be tested and this would be one of those things. Other such items are your ability to set your own schedule, your own prices and so on.
A Quantum Leap for the Web ( Firefox with Servo Components by End of 2017 )
I didn't want to imply pavement when I said streets. The question is what commonly traveled paths look like before the wheel. If they were just desire paths, then they were not suitable for carts because they are to narrow even if they were used with horses or other animals instead of just walking. Could they already have been wide enough for example because of several people walking next to each other? Certainly, but were they? I personally can not think any path I have ever used that was wide enough for carts but never intended or actually used by any sort of vehicle.
In some ways, this is just another class of "Thieves are following you on Twitter so don't let anyone know if you're going on a trip." Sure, for some high profile individuals, keeping your movements secret may make sense. But for most people this is sufficiently far down on the list of threats that it probably doesn't matter.
Also timely responses would help companies hire so much. I've had a company get back to me two weeks after an interview and be completely baffled that I'd taken another offer in the meantime. It was like a foreign concept to them.
And the culture.

AAA game developers only moved from Assembly to C, Pascal when forced to do it.

A few years after they moved from C to C++ when the SDKs started to be C++ only.

Similarly they will only move from C++ when forced to do so, and they only major complaint is related to build times.

I bet most are willing to wait until C++20 for modules than switching to another language, even if some studios manage to have some hits developed in safer languages.
I must admit that it's amusing to see libertarians complaining about the decisions made by a private business and implying that the government should step in.

This is the market punishing bigotry. People are making noise and demanding change, alternative businesses are being created to address these people's needs, and Airbnb is modifying its policies in response.

The only map I can think of from the sphere to the plane (and periodically tiles) uses genus 0 Riemann surfaces and quadratic differentials. And I know he didn't do that.

Nonetheless, there's a fascinating work by Anton Zorich called "Flat Surfaces" (it's a great discussion with lots of pictures))
https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0609392
The geodesics on a flat plane is the straight line -- while the geodesics on a sphere are the great arcs. So there has to be a fair amount of distortion.

I could imagine just drawing a map of the world on the surface of a cube instead of a sphere. That might come out pretty bad.
Maybe a very shitty security-by-obscurity scheme? 'They will never guess my email handle!'
> I often like to fantasize how would I fare if I found myself suddenly transported into medieval times or earlier

I wonder the same. If I was suddenly teleported to the middle of a forest, without anything, not even my shoes and clothes, and no chance of any contact with civilization again, what SHOULD my first few tasks even be??

Imagine a modern human, ideal in health and strength and faculties, and immune to disease or aging, teleported butt-naked to a copy of the planet Earth where there never had been any humans — so no chance of radio, or rescue choppers seeing your smoke signals, or finding any technology that you didn't make yourself.

The only thing that person has is a version of Wikipedia in their brain, so they know how everything is built and how nature works.

How long will it take for them to resch current levels of technology, and be able to construct a device like the one you're reading this on? Would two people make a significant difference?

How would you fare in that situation?
They already classify properties as shared room vs private room vs entire place, so this isn't an issue.
> What waste of energy. Shouldn't we do something about this ?

Most devices which operate on DC (e.g. computers, TV) have a switching power supply, which is around 90% efficient. So for a computer drawing 100W, only about 10W is lost in the conversion of AC to DC.

Larger appliances such as microwaves, ovens, and air conditioners will use AC directly without conversion to DC (except maybe to power the control electronics).

> But most electric devices use DC.

Yes, but no national grids are DC. There is a lot of interest in using high voltage DC (HVDC) for long distance transmission (and wind farms), since you don't have to expend energy to generate and maintain the sine wave (and your collector field electronics are simpler), but the customer connection is always AC.

With the insane amount of money invested in delivery to homes as 110/220VAC, no one is going to start selling DC devices. Even in regions where this is no electricity and people use off-grid systems, the economies of scale mean that DC appliances such as refrigerators are often 200-400% more expensive than their AC counterparts.

A lot of research has been put into DC distribution, but the main issues are:

- Devices still require a DC/DC converter to step up or down the distribution voltage to their operating voltage. This converter is again not 100% efficient

- High voltage DC is deadly (your muscles will contract instead of releasing, so if you touch a cable you're dead)

- Low voltage DC requires thicker wires, meaning higher cost for distribution

Wheels were certainly in use well before 3500BC.

http://mentalfloss.com/article/62357/who-actually-invented-w...

(A casual Google check will reveal other examples as well)

Also parent article mentions metal tools being needed to bore holes for the shaft. Other methods could do this also... people worked intricately with wood long before metal was used (although metal would certainly speed up mass production.)

As far as roads, you don't really need roads for a wheel to be useful. You just need a flat semi hard surface. People crossed the US in horse drawn wagons without roads. Not sure where the "roads" argument comes from other than, sure, better roads means more wheeled vehicles.
I've got a list of computer graphics resources on Github:

https://github.com/melling/ComputerGraphics/blob/master/READ...
You can use wheels without roads. Wheels were used before roads were built. Wheeled chariots were even used on battlefields, which is far from optimal circumstances. And also wheelbarrows and similar things are very useful for doing work.

Yeah, I don't disagree with you. Just disagree with the parent who implied that Airbnb's new rules are sufficient for classifying landlords as employees. ("If AirBnB is able to dictate what it's landlords can and can't do that makes them disguised employees") They're not even close to sufficient.
I'm surprised this article didn't give some credit to the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is a main reason there are ramps you can use with your wheeled luggage instead of hauling it up the steps to a building entrance.
Um, not such a sensible map for South Americans...
I have the same experience in both US (mostly Raleigh, NC) and China; but China has got better over the last twenty years, possibly because air conditioning is no longer an unusual thing in the big cities so it being cold indoors is not such a status symbol, perhaps.
Well, it doesn't create any information that wasn't in the original data (nothing can do that, you can only lose information in processing) so if e.g. the characters can be recognized in the processed image of a licence plate, then by definition they could have been recognized from the original data as well in some manner.

However, they can make things more easily interpretable by humans. A rough analogy is turning up the contrast - given a very dark image of licence plate where the black parts are totally black (#000000) and white parts are just very dark (#010101), the characters definitely can be recognized even while human in normal conditions would just see it as totally black, and processing would help.
This seems rather a generalisation. I wonder how true this really is.
Yes. But Vine is in the video space, where it's competing with YouTube, which has a massive back catalogue, and an abundance of originality, good content and talent (yes, really. You may not be looking in the right places, but it's there), which is readily discoverable, and already well known, (CGPGrey, ViHart, Veritasium, VSauce, Vlogbrothers, Schmoyoho, PewDiePie, Markiplier, CrashCourse, Extra Credits, The Jimquisition, Zero Punctuation, TotalBiscuit, PBSDigital, Errant Signal, XboxAhoy, charlieissocoollike, lonelygirl15, The Show With Ze Frank, TomSka, Eddsworld, CollegeHumor, The Game Theorists, Songs to Wear Pants to, MinutePhysics, Hannah Hart, and countless more). Even if you don't like all of it, there's usually something there for you.
You just need some UNIX-like machine. You can get Linux as an alternative, or install Linux on your Windows computer.
Good point. I'd imagine you could charge an electric car without an inverter. Perhaps it could be just for that purpose. Bury a line running to your garage.
Maybe easy, but you'd need to create lots of long insulated wire--while not impossible, very expensive.

Telescopes and semaphores would get you very far at a fraction of the cost.

Traditional newspapers aren't. But news as a category is doing extremely well. People read much more of it now than they did 20 years ago, and what they get is much more tuned to their interests.

Twitter in many ways replaces the editorial selection function of a newspaper. It doesn't write the articles, but it does let people get a personally tuned stream of news. It also in some ways replaces the opinion page; commentary on current news is a major source of tweets.

So yeah, they can't be a newspaper. But they could be part of what comes after it.

Using Oberon, Java and .NET is surely more fun than plain C and there are a few embedded companies selling such stacks for their boards.
The point is just that this is a map which faithfully represents relative areas? We've known how to do that for hundreds of years; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection#Equal-area.

It's of note that there are some ways in which a flat map can never accurately represent a spherical geometry; for example, not even any small patch of a globe can be represented on a flat map with all distances kept faithful.

ETA: I shouldn't be so quickly dismissive, perhaps; it's also noted that this "AuthaGraph" map has certain tiling properties I'll have to think about further.

The security story for Drupal is quite good from the government perspective. It is used by many serious organizations, so there are a lot people to find bugs and problems. The Drupal community have a formalized standing security committee who cover the core code and the most commonly used modules. They issue security patches on a predictable, regular schedule. And many of the core developers are employed by one company--Acquia--who sells enterprise software support subscriptions.

That checks a lot of boxes for enterprises in general, and governments in particular.

Plus it is a very powerful framework but is way cheaper than "traditional" license-based enterprise solutions like Oracle CMS. And it's open source, which is citizen-friendly and gives governments better long-term ownership of their technology.

Finally, although Drupal developers are their own sort of special flower (hopefully changing with Drupal 8), there are a lot of them and a lot of companies that provide Drupal development. So if you have to fire a vendor, you'll be able to find another one to step in without too much fuss.

Depends how much you pay. The last time I looked a simple air to air pump the cheapest was 31dB and the most expensive was 21dB. So very quiet indeed.

About one in five houses have heat pumps where I live (about 40km south of Oslo) and I can hear them humming as I walk past but of course they are not the latest models. Still they are orders of magnitude quieter than the units outside the flat I rented in Cary, NC ten years ago.
Great talk (it's about pen testing Angular 1 apps, not Angular 2).

I have mixed feelings about the "whitehat" security person intentionally submitting a flawed bug fix (into the real Angular code base) so that they could introduce a security vulnerability in an open source project. At least they made sure their vulnerability didn't appear in an actual release, and they had given a warning to the Google security team, but not the Angular team, about what they intended.

Perhaps the only thing I really learned is that if a "whitehat" security person thinks it's a legit concern to make a malicious patch to an open source project, you can be darn sure there are lots of blackhats doing the same thing on other projects right now.
