This is not a good article please don't upvote it.

If you think LTSM is interesting, I am 100% with you... but there must be for sure much better articles about LTSM or the author himself that you can pick from to share here.

This article doesn't add a lot of value, takes a lot of effort to make it's point and feels like a huge waste of time when you finish reading it.

Thanks Peff, congrats on the great release!

I came up with 19,290 using the generalized birthday formula[0] (actually after double-checking it's slightly closer to 19,291).

16,384 is the value you get using the square approximation method[1] which I believe is a bit less accurate in terms of probability, but faster to calculate. I think Git's using square approximation under the hood -- which is probably a good thing since I think it'll always yield a more conservative result.

Working within an assumed breach scenario, the VM is defense in depth. Firefox has holes, and it will continue to be relatively easily exploitable as long as TBB allows for plugins and JavaScript by default. There is reticence from TBB team to disable JS by default even in the face of a few of these 0days, so you have to protect TBB users a level down from the browser and assume it'll be popped.

There are Windows "sandboxes" like Bromium, and as stated, IIRC EMET will stop the stack pivot here.

That wasn't really clear to me. The wording (in the second situation in the post) made it sound like their partner signed neither the contract nor the NDA.

They could've been more explicit about which things were or weren't signed in the scenario that they described.

While all those hypotheses sound reasonable, I think it's expected that to start looking for those causes, the author first has to argue that the causation doesn't go the other way around. I.e., why is

> Markets with high income inequality and bad affordability tend to be more liberal.

> I think of dynamic typing in a language as a big pro and a big con at the same time, but it's one of the things that makes a language like JavaScript or closure what it is.

Well JavaScript weak type system allows it to be shaped basically however the user want, so to an extent it's a language that make it easy to build something upon, like another languages or adapt any library from any other language.

JavaScript however definitely introduced functional programming to a generation of developers, no question.

But it was designed for extremely sloppy ones too. JS tries hard not to throw a type error.

When I started programming I thought type declarations were getting in my way ... now I'm using Go which has one of the most rigid type system of all.

When I was using node I was like writing 10 000 lines of code a day ... now I have hard time making sense of what I wrote 3 years ago, let alone understanding someone else's JS codebase.

What country has the best privacy laws to connect to a VPN in?
The Snoopers' Charter passed into law here in the UK, and now ISPs will be compelled to keep internet connection records, which will be made available to a shocking number of agencies.

For some time, I've been meaning to route my traffic via a VPN to a different European country, but with Switzerland voting to weaken its privacy laws, I'm unsure to which country I should route my traffic.

So my question is: which countries make the most sense to have a VPN in from a privacy perspective (also taking into account the available VPN services there - I'm not hosting my own)?

If you need to do backend and front end ("full stack"), know devops, know cloud primitives, know database fundamentals, know document storage (Elasticsearch), what are you going to actually be good at? Not much. You can't have both depth and breadth of knowledge, unless you're doing unhuman levels of cocaine and never sleeping.
What's their threat model, then?

If you're going to be actively targeted by exploits like this, then you shouldn't give a damn about some of these tradeoffs. If you have journalists/activists willing to go to information war with a nation-state, they shouldn't be surprised when their adversaries have the resources to pwn them. If David wants to fight goliath, they will need to take this into account. The guys with guns and power want their heads.

If the activists/journalists/whatever don't want to take the necessary precautions to use computers to talk to people in a way in which they are protected from capable adversaries, then I'm not sure what it is that they are expecting.

Also, I was recommending these users simply defending in depth by using Tails as a sandbox for a leaky browser, to require a chain of expensive exploits (browser 0day + VM escape 0day). Training someone to install VirtualBox or VMWare and run an ISO from it doesn't really disrupt too much workflow and defends in depth against the browser issues, then again I am likely wrongfully assuming VT-x/VT-d and a lot of RAM on the activists' computers.

NASA, and particularly the manned spaceflight aspects, has always been popular with conservatives (particularly the "national greatness" types), though not so much libertarians (which can be confusing, since conservatives often use libertarian rhetoric, and selectively invoke "small government" when attacking programs they don't like.)

Plus, as a sibling comment points out, you have to consider the "TX" and not just the "R" in (R-TX).
I mean fullscreen within the VM's desktop (no need for normal GNOME/KDE/whatever desktop), which itself may not be fullscreen on host OS. It would act like a native app. If you quit the browser it shuts down the VM.
Taking cayenne pepper probably won't hurt, but do NOT rely on this "treatment" if you think you are having a heart attack. Call 911 immediately and get real medical treatment. There's a good chance the dispatcher will ask you to chew an aspirin if you have some handy (or 4 baby aspirin, which works out to the same dose).

At the hospital you may receive "clot busting" drugs, and/or undergo angioplasty (inserting a catheter into one of your arteries and manipulating it to where the blockage is, in order to clear the blockage and restore circulation). Once heart tissue starts to die from lack of oxygen, time is of the essence... you just can't waste time hoping some naturalistic treatment works.

I still don't understand why <img lowsrc=""> never took off.
It depends on how you implement the gradual typing as well. Through contracts is one way (probably the bad way, since they still apply at runtime) and static analysis with type annotations is another way. There isn't any reason a sufficient static analyzer couldn't be as powerful as an inbuilt static type system.

This is effectively dragging some of the benefits of static typing to dynamic typing. I wonder why you'd pay the cost of dynamic types though, instead of going the other direction. With type inference you don't need to explicitly write types the entire codebase, and you can opt-in to dynamic types in controlled, explicit scenarios.
You can bit bang a lot with 320Mhz cycle time :-). That said I wonder if we'll see a common standard emerge for an 'open' serial protocol. Sort of PCIe lite which runs at say 250Mhz over a pair of LVDS pins that you make into an AHB bus master in the memory matrix. That would really open up the peripheral market.

Depends what you mean by "enough".

24MHz is "enough" for 20 bits@96kHz ADC and some post processing.

But 20 bits@96kHz is not decent.

For reasonable SNR, you need at least 24 bits, and even then "the experts" offload to an external CPU
http://www.tested.com/tech/pcs/454839-tested-why-high-end-pc...

For signal (less audio are more "controller") with high precision you need micro controllers with the power of at least an early 2000s PC (several hundred MHz and single cycle mul/div).

Raspberry Pi 3 is close, but it needs an external ADC/DAC.

I get what your saying but humans are humans, journalists are busy and security is a pain for most people (until they need it).

The threat model really depends and so is too wide for me to make any sweeping statements. Clearly a US journalist working on drone strikes is a different threat model to an democracy activist in Sudan.

> Because of the "named queries", you can combine lower-level queries in higher-level ones, to create a hierarchy of "dynamically generated concepts", which I haven't seen any other technology be able to do.

This is the purpose of functions in most programming languages. A function is kind of like an HTML template, but for code. So rather than have `<h1 title="{{bar}}">{{foo}}</h1>` you have `function(foo, bar) { return h1({title: bar, text: foo}); }`. DOM tree, AST ("abstract syntax tree"), relational data, same thing: a graph, and most programming languages can represent raw graph nodes/edges easily as lists of strings. You can write a simple tuple-matching engine in Javascript: https://gist.github.com/notduncansmith/7858d27a2b875ff10b84

Obviously that's not a production-ready piece of software, but it highlights an important lack of distinction between "database" and "program" that wasn't readily apparent to me as a developer for a while.

HTML, source code, and user input are all the same thing (just data, really). One program's source code is another's input data, all the way down.

If you want to get existential, you can extend this even down to matter itself as simply a representation of information: imagine a physical machine in a factory that winds jack-in-the-box toys on their way out the door. Same thing as a higher-order function.

function wind(toy) {
return toy.lever.rotateByDegrees(360);
}

So basically, code is data is matter, your source code is just electricity in a machine and whether you look at it as "code" or "data" is simply a matter of perspective. This is what Lisp folks mean by "code is data".

Moving from the abstract to your concrete case:

> build up a model of your domain of interest that is always computed on-demand, leaving the raw data unchanged in it's default ("normal"?) form. [...] (While named queries are conceptually similar to views in SQL, they are so much more natural to work with.)

SQL views don't compose at the same level that Datalog expressions do, but that's because they aren't typically expressed as raw graph data (i.e. lists of strings where each list item is a node in the graph). If you could just name arbitrary chunks of SQL AST and mash them together, it would be just as composable (though perhaps more cumbersome due to boilerplate).

One final thing before this already-too-long comment comes to a close: you might give CouchDB a look. It's a document datastore that offers map/reduce views written in Javascript (use as much or as little composition/abstraction as you want). The distributed features are pretty cool (bidirectional sync, versioned documents) and writing apps with it is awesome, especially if you can leverage supporting projects like PouchDB or Couchbase Lite. Not sure if it fits your use-case but it sounds like you might find it personally interesting.

Hopefully this has been helpful!
> But Northern Ireland _is_ an example of freedom through bloodshed. There was decades of violence before the UK conceded to give them genuine choice.

I think that's an oversimplification; the intent was there to give Ireland self-governance from the 1880s (initially as a single, unified area). Notably, the Government of Ireland Act 1914, better known as the Third Home Rule Bill (the prior two had failed to pass through Parliament) would've led to a unitary Ireland, though this led to the Home Rule Crisis (though there had been some rioting going back to the 1880s) and was ultimately never implemented due to the outbreak of war.

The real fatal errors in the case of Ireland were the handling of the Easter Rising of 1916 and the coupling of implementation of Home Rule with conscription in Ireland, along with many more errors during the guerrilla war that followed.

Had WW1 not happened when it did, who knows what would have happened in Ireland.
But this is not a problem of democracy. It is a problem of radicalisation. Everything is fine as long as all sides are confident that the other side consists-despite disagreement-of decent people. Up until recently it was quite rare in the west for an election outcome to instil an end-of-days kind of fear in 50%+ of a country's population. It happened in the US and it may also happen in a lot of European countries soon, where what we would have called fascism in the good old days, is on a steady rise.
Of course, I was just speaking to why this is happening, not my grand scheme for how this should all work. Personally I would ideally like to just commit code and be done with it. Being on-call sucks.

It's not really clear whether making an amendment saying that as an exception it is allowed to give Mount Halti away to Finland would violate the spirit of that article. I'm thinking that it probably wasn't clear to stortinget either and they didn't want to waste the time of the supreme court for something that was essentially a symbolic gesture.

Also I'm actually a bit surprised that there is no way of making essential changes to articles in the constitution, even if a large majority of the population would vote for it.

This is a common answer which presumes that all businesses are development companies, or that they are development companies which are legally allowed this interplay between the programming team and the production team.

There are places (places with a lot of money on the line) that do not fall into these categories, and yet the solutions are not so different. I'm just intrigued by the level of effort Silicon Valley is willing to exert to avoid recognizing this -- or even admitting that it's possible.
Spec isn't a type system - it's an immensely powerful abstraction for describing your data that can be leveraged for validation, coercion, error reporting, and automated test generation. This, I think, is what many of us wish our type systems could do.

I think the thing you're missing is that dynamism is not about avoiding types, it's about having the flexibility to define your own type system. Clojure actually has real static typing - not quite complete, but it's there - and it's a library(!) Not a single change was required in the compiler. That's kind of mind blowing, no?

I agree with you that often the consultant gets nothing out of the NDA (bar the case where the consultant is sharing a proprietary method). Larger consulting firms actually often include their own form of NDA in engagement letters forbidding the client from sharing work product with third parties without permission.

The NDA is typically separate from the actual engagement letter in my experience, and to your point I've actually worked on projects where we signed the engagement letter but "forgot" to sign the NDA and that piece fell through the cracks

We scrupulously acted as though we had though to prevent the reputational damage that would come from violating confidentiality - NDA or no NDA.
