I've considered this quite a bit.

When I picture someone with a strong background in programming and CS going into another field I always imagine there's a lot of potential for really understanding problems in that field and applying computing to solve them. Essentially, using computing to really support work in another field rather than just computing for it's own sake.
I assume they'll make all Windows updates open-source from now on then?
Yea, it depends on the quality of APIs available.
Yeah, I didn't even know this existed!

I still think that the second-best answer is to get a tablet or phablet. My grandmother has mostly switched to an iPad and the vast majority of real problems disappeared. There's the occasional 'how I do get photo <x> to target <y>', but nothing serious.

Feels a bit like defeat though.
Could Mars ever be terraformed to the point a human, or human derivative, could operate comfortably in the open atmosphere? It seems pretty cold, air pressure is low, and there's little-to-no protection from solar radiation.
I'm sure there was someone in 1492 saying the same thing about America. The grass is always greener.

It is standard practice in every bit of journalism I've ever seen to ask the subject for comment.
The article says they met up and mailed their absentee ballots together. Maybe the trading sites could use something like a video recording of someone checking a box on their ballot and sealing it up or do a recording of them in the booth casting their ballot (state law permitting). There is still some trust involved, both people can't really vote at the same time. You have to trust the other guy will go through with it after you cast your vote first but it's no different than buying and trading used goods on forums. Although on forums, people are usually making exchanges more often than once every 4 years so someone can build a trustworthy reputation.
And yet you're here, looking for math refreshers :)

If the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station ever achieved a self-sustaining system, maybe they would have declared independence.

edit: Meaning, it's more like saying 'The Columbus Expeditions declared independence'. Only once the colonies were, mostly, self-sufficient could they look seriously at independence.
If you're obese and go on an exercise regime, you might think you'll just get fat again when you stop the exercise regime.

In the short term, that's probably true. But if you do it long enough, you'd expect someone who has exercised for many years to eventually develop better eating habits :-) And so it goes.
Reminds me of The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov. The third part of the book takes place on the moon where there is a divergent human species / society. Great book, and there are some really interesting thoughts on how two divergent human species would chafe against one another in that part of it.
And they could open-source all future Windows updates!

That actually sounds kinda fun, building your own Windows patches :')
Excel is terrifying. Each employee has taken the same concept and written their own bespoke tooling around it which probably has at least one bug. These are "copy and pasted" around a bazillon network drives and then passed on to other people who will modify the undocumented process based on their best understanding of what they think it does (or what it was meant to do...?).

I can still take my ad hoc SQL query data and run decent analysis and produce graphical summaries in less time than it would take me to setup the boilerplate I'd need in C#.

Arguably something like Matlab or R would be similarly quick for a lot of things - but I'm not even slightly sold that they are safer based on my observations of their use. I've certainly seen plenty of formal code that was less readable than a decent spreadsheet.

I'm not really a fan of excel tools, and tooling. VBA has made me want to actually smash my computer in the past. But to claim that it isn't incredibly powerful at working with a few megabytes of raw data is flat out wrong.

I feel conflicted about such advice too... but honestly I've resorted to using my iPad for stuff like streaming video just because it's safer out of the box. I figure if I'm doing that, I might as well suggest others do the same.

How about not pissing around where we are clearly not wanted?

Spreading democracy is great and all, but it's pretty clear that the various places we've been trying to spread it aren't interested in the least. How about we let them stew in their own mess for a while and put our efforts into fixing issues at home for a while?

Maybe stop trying to be the world's policeman for a while. Let the UN sort it out and when they inevitably fail, then we can think about it. And if the UN doesn't, well, at least we haven't wasted the money in the meantime.
This guy isn't qualified to give advice. Re-ThinkDB doesn't even have a business model. Where's his success in business to make him think that he's even qualified to give advice? Do you have thousands of customers paying you monthly? No. Do you generate profit? No. Then shut the fuck up. The signal to noise ratio concerning "startup" advice is so out of whack. People that are one step above homeless think their opinions matter.
Are there any good examples of this strategy? I can't think of anyone successfully moving a leading open source product back to closed source...I think normally it's the fork of the open source version that lives on...
I remember them, but they cost a little fortune (both hw and sw). They were still popular in the 90s but the first cheap and good enough alternative started to make a real dent into their professional market. It was Windows 3.1 and 80486 in 1992. But don't forget Autocad in the 80s.

Yes, CP/M-86 could have played to role of MSDOS but people really needed to buy a box with a floppy disk to install from or a preinstalled OS on their new PC. MS did that right.
Being unmanned, even if it was flipped or swamped, it might be able to recover and re-establish the remote control channel.

Corporate speech is a very tricky and nuanced topic. Here's a simple issue it brings up: if a corporation has a right to free speech, does it really?

Suppose I'm a shareholder in a corporation. That corporation has some legal duties with respect to looking out for my interests; can I use that to force the corporation to engage in political speech? If the corporation backs a candidate who will negatively impact shareholder value, or insufficiently supports a candidate who will increase shareholder value, should I be able to sue the corporation over using its "free speech" right inappropriately?
This is true -- the better journalists and papers actually give you enough facts to allow for meaningful conversation and disagreement. And this really is what we should look for, to separate good quality journalism from tabloid trash, regardless of bias.

From my viewpoint, the New York Times still has a reputation for quality journalism. Very few of the anti-New York Times viewpoints in this thread are terribly convincing to me from that perspective.
If you only look at the part of the market that buys new cars (as opposed to second hand), the home charging problem becomes a lot smaller.

Once EV have reached a certain saturation amongst new car buyers, the second hand market might take some very interesting turns when that generation of cars is about to change ownership from original buyers with a high rate of home charging availability to second hand buyers with a low rate. If you are one of the comparatively rare second hand buyers with available home charging, you might see a very favorable market.
Visual Studio basically is free [1].

Isn't it mostly that no other OS has graphics drivers that are put as much time in by graphics card makers?

Because Microsoft has the largest market share and porting drivers from Windows to Unix systems is basically a full rewrite, which doesn't happen?
> nearly as long as xkcd has

It's been around a lot longer than that; I first saw it in version 3.0.0 of esr's Jargon File, which was released in 1993, and I doubt it was newly added then.
I'm currently of the mind that the only way to cure it is to stop running and face it head on. Rip out everything that triggers it, rip out every source that adds to it.

I agree. But I think that's a lot easier to do when you're happy and in a good mental state than when you're not.

I didn't mean to imply that busyness is a mere distraction strategy - it's more a way to bootstrap a life-long process.

> creating gravity

As an aside, I can't help but feel that harnessing gravity would open up far more exciting possibilities than colonizing/inhabiting Mars.
I mean, they were right. Quality of life improved for the European colonizing nations. Not so much for the natives, but presumably we're not going to run into anyone already on mars.
First, you have to give very strong evidences that they are not "like the previous regime", or that there is a "previous" at all. All I see right now is PR and strategic moves (let's do what google did, even a bit late).

Secondly, given the track record, it is fair that it will take a long time before their past is forgiven. At least the same number of years of doubt that they spent misbehaving. And again that supposes they are not doing it right now. Like patent trolling, or moving software you could buy to a rent-only model, or put spywares in their new OS.

I strongly believe MS is not getting better, just getting better at communicating. They are not in a monopoly anymore and they can't get away with a "linux is cancer" like they used to do.

The only thing that bother me is that the Gates are getting away with it. They detached them self from MS, and now make heavy communication on their charity, so everybody seems to think they are saints. People have very short memory.

I think gr3yh47 meant "not feeling an emotion that you're experiencing" rather than "not feeling an emotion full stop".
> martian dating apps that requires putting their DNA sequences online

This isn't how selection pressure works. And while you're correct that we won't let a human die, potential partners already do a sort of DNA analysis. While it's not as ruthless as in the wild, potential partners definitely evaluate each other based on criteria like fitness, appearance, and intelligence, which have genetic components.

Consider that the Martian environment might make individuals who are genetically more susceptible to skin cancer likely to have facial scarring before reproductive age, or make lanky individuals more graceful in the low gravity, or make short people able to move through small hab units with less awkwardness. Or consider the potential effects of claustrophobia or a proclivity for motion sickness on life in space, or the demands on intelligence and resulting careers.

These effects would cause some genotypes to be more attractive than others in a different way than they are on Earth where, for example, height is often considered attractive and is not penalized by short space hab ceilings. It's not that those lacking these traits would be prohibited from reproducing, but that they would have a bit of a challenge finding partners, while those possessing the traits would find it slightly easier. As a result of a few on the margin failing or succeeding in finding partners, those with the traits might have 2.55 children on average, and those without might have 2.53 children. Eventually, this pressure could shift the gene pool in a different direction than Earth.

Someone explain to me why we need a new language here?

If they are trying to express ideas - wouldn't any language do just fine?

They can 'compile' in an 'optimized manner' using something else ...

But in terms of algorithmic expression?

Unless they are writing true 'real time' stuff right for the chip ... why a new syntax?
You might consider including the BSD licenses those projects were published under in your minified JavaScript file. Is this project's source code published anywhere?
Actually yes, every day, I'm counting the days till med school.

I'll probably write code as long as I am alive but not under those conditions, not CRUD apps, not to make someone else rich.

I'd actually say that there are only 4 reasons to write code:

- To learn

- Temporary ( cash )

- To create something which becomes eventually a company

- To solve your own problems

Obv. I don't want to attack someone, that's just how I think about it.

When I entered SE I already knew that I'm not going to do that for a long time, it's on my list, I had to learn it. It's time for the next topic.
That varies strongly by country[0]. My home ISP for example does DS-Lite and last week their AFTR was overloaded. So ipv4 was almost unusable while v6 worked fine. So temporarily I was already living in a post-v4 world.

If it's maglev but it's running in a near vacuum rather than a hard vacuum I personally think we could still call it Hyperloop even though it wouldn't be exactly like Elon Musk's proposal. I.e. it's the "near vacuum" part rather than the air caster part that's significant.

Now if someone successfully builds a maglev in a hard vacuum tube, then that would definitely not be a Hyperloop, it would just be a classic vactrain. On the other hand, I don't think Musk would be the least bit disappointed if somebody was able to actually build an operational vactrain.
Did I gave the impression we don't need to conform to that standard? That wasn't my intention. I just wanted to point out the standard is sometimes stupid.

Of course we have to conform to the standard, however crazy. The only alternative is forking the language itself.
Yes, but they will be closer to Earthers than the Belters will be, sa sa?

(The Expanse covers ideas like this; inner planets (Earth and Mars) are more like-now human, but those who grew up on space stations and asteroids, aka 'Belters', are physically different, taller, lankier)
thanks for the candid answer; I can certainly see the appeal, and the laundry bill is _surprisingly good_ + would add a big convenience factor too, that's one I might have taken up on if I were still in a city.

Food I can definitely see, and if I would splurge this is probably where I'd do it. Those uber costs though, - not having your own car as well seems like a much harder trade.
They're not copying Google. They're taking the worst of both worlds.

Windows isn't free. It just happens to come with the cost of your PC, but the PC manufacturer pays for it (and passes the cost to you).

They just noticed that no one upgrades Windows (and why should they? When was the last time you were excited about a windows release? XP? 95? 3.1? Maybe 7 if you're coming from Vista?)
That "POSIX compatibility" was quite interesting in the late 90's.

Just like it happens with any standard, we ended up with lots of #ifdef, because many APIs might had the same name, but not the same semantics.

And like in UNIX like OSes, all the cool goodies weren't in the POSIX APIs anyway.

It is quite sad that despite some of the cool GUIs like on NeXT and Sun OpenWindows, the best that they could settle on as a standard was Motif.

I spent no time on it. There's nothing going on. Both candidates are meh, and it's looking like it should've been Bernie Sanders. I have a feeling this is the last straw and that America is done. The new administration will essentially be doing nothing but cementing into place all the garbage that exists.

America lost its greatness due to feeding into idiot, backward, ignorant, prejudiced, close-minded, judgmental, etc points of view, and into doing the dumbest thing. The Bush years did a lot of damage, and not only has nothing been done to repair/restore anything, the idiots around have done everything in their power to make things worse.

To say "OWS shut down this fork" is a rather drastic distortion of the truth. The project was simply not entitled to running on OWS servers, or of re-using the Signal trademark, both of which are perfectly understandable.

And if you look at the repo that you linked, this is called out right at the top of the README:

In the same thread, Marlinspike said that he would be willing to consider "a clean, well written, and well tested" pull request that would add WebSocket support to the Android version of Signal. This would effectively eliminate Signal's dependency on GCM and thus allow the official Signal app to function on custom Android ROMs that do not include Google Play Services. There is now a bounty on making this pull request, and the person/team making the pull request would also receive whatever the BitHub payout would be at the time.

...

To be clear, Signal relying on GCM is only an issue for people who use a custom Android ROM without Google Play Services. For the vast majority of people who do have Google Play on their phone, this issue is completely irrelevant. Signal is designed so that GCM is only used for a wakeup event and never sees any of the encrypted Signal messages.
Yes they do, you can get it on the google play store. Maybe not your preferred flavor of Linux, but Linux none the less.

These are just the pains of growing up.

It's like wishing there was no bullying in school - human nature isn't going to change anytime soon and by learning to deal with dickheads, you learn a valuable lesson or two.

As for culture - you have to wrap your head around the average IQ of an American being 100. 100 is really, really dumb.

You probably don't talk to anyone twice as smart as the average person on a regular basis - he/she won't be able to relate to you and vice versa.

But even so, it just doesn't matter - because culture or society, doesn't owe you anything. Wishing it was different is a fool's game - there are pockets in every city that you'll feel very at home with. Once you find them, you'll look back on wishing to change society as madness - you're the highly intelligent weird-o that needs a rare environment to thrive, most people are fine, they bicker until their dying breath just fine :)
Dubai is a much worse place than California for the Hyperloop for two reasons:

1. Dubai and Abu Dhabi is only 100 miles. That's not nearly enough to make the Hyperloop economically attractive even if it were to work (which it won't, see point #2). Regular high-speed rail can make this trip in 30 minutes. It's just not worth paying N times as much for some value of N>>1 to shave 18 minutes off of that. 300 miles (like San Francisco to LA) is about the minimum distance for the hyperloop to compete with conventional high speed rail even under ideal circumstances.

2. Dubai has bigger thermal swings than California, so the thermal expansion problem -- which is still unsolved -- will be that much worse in Dubai.

"price tag of around $8,000 after subsidies"

Unfortunately no word how much the subsidies are.
Yep, there are many counter-intuitive aspects to the rational numbers. They're ordered just like the integers, and yet given any fraction there isn't a well-defined "next" fraction. But there are still "gaps" (irrational numbers). The same fraction has infinitely many representations. Despite that there are no more rational numbers than integers, yet the number of "gaps" far exceeds either of these. Not every fraction even has a finite decimal expansion. And fractions allow you to specify a level of precision for measurements that could never be achieved in the real world under any circumstances, which immediately raises questions about what these extraordinarily precise fractions actually refer to in the real world.

I honestly believe that lots of kids detect these issues on some level, but their curiosity and confusion remain unresolved, possibly for life.
Well I already did the work I'm willing to do on my end. Further research would obviously have to take in to consideration deviations from general population density, but just looking at the map, there's a lot of voter intimidation being reported in the south that clearly has nothing to do with population density.

Also, there's no correlation with voter intimidation and population density for cities in the midwest.

So I guess it's just my word and my graph against your word and, well, nothing else. So you better get to work!
