People are hardwired to a small set of choices. Products or markets with network effects pressure those choices to become 2 or even 1 (though almost everyone agrees that a 1 is too low/risky, and thus we have things like regulation to ostensibly prevent those situations). Thus 2 is the lowest stable set that's agreeable.
There is definitely a lot to like about Homebrew (it's better than macports), but like others have said, when stuff goes wrong you can end up spending an entire day googling, only to end up going down a rabbit hole of archaic and often obsolete commands that may or may not work.

Once you get your environment set up it's fine, but try updating to the most recent Mac OS version with a ruby environment and you'll find pretty much all your gemsets broken in one way or another (if you have anything that needs native building).

I might just be bitter, though, as I spent most of a day working through this exact situation just last week.
Can you give any examples of reactions between food ingredients making people sick? The usual reasons that foods make people sick are quite specific to an ingredient: digestive issues usually stem from inability to digest a particular sugar, and allergies arise from food-specific antigens. Neither is created or modified when you mix two foods together, or digest one in the presence of the other.
No it's not, especially when you are talking about non complete hours(Half past three vs 2045)

This is not "obvious". Actually, I think it's obviously wrong. That's like saying, "Oh, nuclear research doesn't matter, nature could just randomly create a nuclear bomb." Well, no. (Although nuclear reactors do happen naturally.) If you're trying to create super-organisms/weapons, chances are, you'll succeed.
Right now you can sit down in front of Maya, Houdini, or Modo and, knowing one of those packages, figure out how to navigate the UI in maybe 10 minutes. A few months ago, firing up Blender, I had to go watch some YouTube videos to figure out how the hell the UI worked.
While this is true, it's a weird angle that's not itself super well defined. That is, the definition of repr(packed) implies that the alignment will always be there without it...

Not sure why you're getting so many downvotes.

3D authoring software/tools is a funny business. Fundamentally developers aren't the primary users so they can't fully evaluate the effectiveness of their software. However unlike other domains like a web browser there aren't enough users for developers to get proper feedback about things like UI and workflow.

For the same reason that every year is supposedly the "year of linux on the desktop" you'll never see Blender/Gimp/etc unseat Max/Maya/Photoshop.
Besides, it's not called "Soylent Green". Green was the cause of the shock twist in the movie, but there was also Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow in the movie, which were pretty much what Soylent, the product, is trying to become.

The name is appropriate in the context of the movie, although I would have never chosen it.

I'm familiar the automation argument. Still the latest studies have placed the loss of jobs to outsourcing in the millions.

I also think the automation argument has another flaw and a very simple one. By tracking jobs that have been outsourced you are tracking old jobs in some factory that put people out of work. But what about the factories that don't get built, or the labour Forces that don't get trained to make new goods ?

By removing trade barriers and allowing capital to reimport manufactured goods you have removed the incentives to invest and maintain a workforce.

If trade barriers were still up, my guess is there would be huge training programs for people to go into certain professions that would be needed to manufacture goods locally. I.e. The IPhone is produced in China, and Steve Jobs once told Obama the reason was he couldn't find the 5 millions engineers or so he needed in America to build it.

If the trade barriers were still up that would make manufacturing in China uneconomical, then Apple would start a massive training program to train those engineers in America. Apple didn't do that program because it didn't need to, it could find them in China at a cost of 20-to-1. Compare that to Intel, a company that keeps their production in the US, which has invested in programs to train engineers in America.

If capital can move freely it will choose the cheapest available workforce, and it can't find that workforce it will train it in the cheapest possible location. It will then reimport goods manufactured with the lowest-investment workforce into the highest-profitable markets to sell it. Because free trade.

So even though automation is part of the story the destruction of trade barriers also has another effect, which is the removal of incentives for capital to invest in labour training. And that's the origin of the barista economy that people keep complaining about - businesses have no reason to invest in America anymore to manufacture their goods. They absorb the highly educated workforce paid for with a lot of public money, and they benefits from it, while reinvesting as little as possible in the economy and dodging as many taxes as they can.

Not too many decades ago it was claimed that famine would be solved forever by spraying everything with DDT. But nobody had ever imagined this thing called the food-chain and the birds started dying. Now we're toying with DNA without even comprehending half of it. I'm not opposed to it. We will probably learn some new, interesting things on the way that nobody had ever imagined.

I am not particularly shy, but have had enough negative social experiences that a) I have learned to tone things down a bit and b) I am highly skeptical of claims that shyness is some sort of maladaptive behavior that involves imagining terrible things that aren't realistic.

Okay, but that doesn't answer my question. :-)

I'd like to run a local instance of the "hyper system," fully contained on my laptop, perhaps running atop virtualbox. If I find it appealing, with respect to the usage experience (i.e. deploying/composing containers), I'd be willing to run some apps on the real deal. I am, though, not willing to experiment with the "real deal" as a means of evaluating it.
Speaking only for myself, it strikes me as decidedly odd that people elect caution only in the face of scary science-y things. The primitive plant breeding from decades ago was not and is not safe. It can and did produce dangerous and toxic products.

I applaud caution, but selective caution paired with willful blindness looks like madness.
This is great. Well done to OP! I've been considering creating something like this in the future as well.

You mentioned that you used the lyrics from 50,000 rap songs. Did you have any filters for quality or certain sub-genres? What era were the rap songs from? Maybe the 'quality' would be higher if the data set was narrowed to what you consider quality hip hop lyrics.

Also from your post: "You can see that D-Prime does internally rhyme to a small extent, but making the model better in this regard seemed like it was going to be tough, and I didn’t pursue it."
What were your main challenges to improving/pursing better internal rhyme schemes?

Another way to enumerate oracles is to consider the set of terminating Turing machines (and enumerating them is itself uncomputable but whatever). Each TM corresponds to an oracle that computes its result in O(1).

How do you think Docker adds unneeded complexity? As far as I can see it simplifies a non-trivial task (automated deployment).

A while ago I discovered that I can build my app (Haskell) as a Docker image, using the "stack" build tool. As far as I can see, Docker adds value by providing a layer of abstraction that makes building deployment images as easy as building the executable.
There are organic and local small tomatoes and white raisin in my house and when I have people coming by and eating them they always are amazed how it tastes much better than anything they ever bought at the super market(?).

Impressive.

8KiB stacks are a bit on the small side though for production usage. Go gets away with this because they're stacks act more like Vectors then flat arrays.

Why did you decided to roll your own stack swapping software instead of using say using `boost::context`?
And as my view in that post foretells, I believe Twitter is already a protocol, we just call it the Twitter API. It's not an open protocol, of course, and its domain model is fairly anemic [1], especially compared to that of Facebook [2][3][4]. But in my opinion, this is what the author is trying to say: Twitter could have been a place where people interact with structured resources created and consumed by other apps.

It's a possibility, especially since Facebook became that place instead. Ultimately, Twitter didn't because they wanted to focus on driving more traffic through their first-party app (presumably as a captive client on which they can eventually display ads), and because they focused on cultivating a community (like Medium, Tumblr, LiveJournal) rather than a resource ecosystem.

There are many in-dash displays available that don't require DIN. Pioneer and Kenwood are well known but there's also a bunch of Chinese manufacturer's like www.seicane.com .

Basically any popular make/model in the last 8-10 years can be accommodated. It is a little more involved than DIN installation in that you have to remove panels, but its not so bad. The openings for the AC controls are part of the panel that you install. It all snaps together.

I don't think that this is sufficient as long as 8192 is still the default. Personally, I don't think that exposing the number of iteration is a good idea at all - users have no way of knowing how much is enough. Frankly, it took me quite a while to find out what contemporary hardware (especially GPUs) is capable of and how many iterations should be considered safe today.
Awesome! Very excited to see this and looking forward to trying it out.

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of the "sketchy" widgets that look hand drawn and the ability to easily link between layouts. Great for rapidly validating mobile app workflows with users!

Other than Marvel App (which companies uncomfortable with hosting design work in cloud services can't use), I've found Pencil to be the most productive UX-focused design tool out there.

Look at the graph of CMG compared to MCD or DPZ to see how convinced the market is by this. The Chipotle contamination incident was devastating.
I think that is unfair to the science crowd. I consider myself part of them, and I am highly suspicious of corporate interests.

Of course with the commercialization of public institutions and the insane pressure to publish, one can not trust scientific publications as well as before. What is it 60% of life science publications can't be reproduced?

There is a real need for change in system, so we can trust research more. I think the capitalistic thinking has ruined science. One looks at science as some production process which needs to increase yield. Thus one ends up focusing on quantity rather than quality.

I'd rather see a lot fewer publications and stuff of actual quality which can be reproduced than what is going on now.

I made this last year, but failed to build on the initial audience... There's no revenue, so any offer will be considered.

The site was launched in August 2015 and got 79,000 pageviews in its first month. It also got some media attention which has given the site quite good search engine ranking: it is a top-3 Google result for most of the relevant keywords and search phrases.

I can also throw in the domain BabyNameCheck.com. There's no site there currently, but you could easily reuse the word check back-end from WordSafety... Just make a new baby-themed design and it could be a site that any parent would want to check out when trying to decide a name.

Yeah but is still not as managed as I want. You still need to populate a Kubernetes cluster which is 3 node minimum. Instances show up in your instances list and you still have to be careful to pop your instances in different zones/region for availability.

In an ideal world I just want to run containers in a region with a LB in front, I don't care on which Kubernetes cluster they are. That the use case hyper.sh seems to address (but I didn't test it to be honnest).
You talk like the "GMO industry" unilaterally makes decisions. They put out studies, these studies can be (and are) critiqued by public scientists. Further, no "industry" is charged with regulating the quality and safety of our food--that's the job of the FDA. The science camp is at least making evidence-based decisions, whereas the "granola" folks are dismissing everything for fear of hypothetical methodological errors (all the while ignoring that the organic food industry is still an industry complete with its own incentives). As far as I'm concerned, this debate is a mirror of the vaccination debate or the climate debate with (perhaps) lower stakes.
> "Samsung is preparing for the day they can leave the Google eco-system behind"

I think you mean "preparing for the day Google leaves them behind."

Google's path with the Pixel, if successful, puts them on more of an Apple trajectory. I saw a recent stat that 9/10 smartphones run Android, so they've dominated the industry already. The question though is whether that would still stay the same if Samsung wasn't in the mix.

Beyond that, the hardware is fast becoming commoditized as everyone realizes that at a certain point, the core features that make people buy a phone will be cloud-based and increasingly with wearable peripherals your fancy phone will be sitting in your pocket while the inputs are worn.

Those who can't differentiate on software and services will be relegated to low-margin commodity hardware providers. However those who own the ecosystem are asserting their control to build what will likely be an insurmountable moat.
Thanks for pointing this out. The actual API provides SSL encryption, the landing page however doesn't.
> What's the alternative?

Install software as root, eg by invoking sudo.

The "don't compile as root" argument is correct, that too is a bad idea. But that's exactly why traditional "./configure; make; sudo make install" instructions separate the initial build (using the default make target) from a the install target.

It's why binary packages for basically every platform are built using a controlled, non root-user environment, but installed using root-equivalent permissions.

If one has a Tesla, yes. I currently drive a Renault Zoe which is incompatible with Tesla superchargers, but had been considering buying a Model X.

A Tesla could charge at either 22kW using the Type 2 Mennekes connector, or if the owner has a CHAdeMO connector (about £250 from Tesla) at 50kW. Both a lot slower than a supercharger's 120kW.

>Local small farms don't embrace it.

Yeah, I think that is largely my big worry about "GMOs". It isn't about the crops themselves but the corporations making them.

Even if you don't buy from them, if a seed of "theirs" drifts to your land (which, anyone with a basic understanding of biology will know, will happen), you have to pay them. If not, they will tie you up in a lawsuit till you go broke.

You're absolutely right! There's a very great deal to be learned. And in the meantime, there's a great many problems that we know we can address with tools like golden rice.

The idea of a food chain dates from the 8th century, though. DDT wasn't used in agriculture until the 1940s.
They can be sure there are less unintended consequences with GMO than with mutagenesis, which has been used longer and nobody seems to be complaining about.

I'd like to hear the rational for trusting food which is produced be massive amounts of random mutations through radiation, is somehow more inherently safe than GMO.
