But the angry angry facebook comment slapfights are in the virtual world and are doubtless partly to blame for a lot of sundered acquaintances.

I can think of a few comments by family members (aunts/uncles etc especially) on rants by 20 somethings on facebook about how the idiot olds were screwing us all over - being quite hurt by the positions taken in the rants.

Some of this is to do with the weirdness that is facebook crossing virtual/real world interactions. But most of the people who are still obsessed with spouting their personal views on [Global warming/Brexit/Trump/Syria/etc] will quickly find a partner to trade verbal blows with
The search space of all possibilities is infinite, and hence beyond the grasp of any intelligence. I firmly believe human imagination and all other forms of intelligence are restricted by mathematics and physics of our universe. And as such, the fundamental set of solvable problems remains the same.

Would be nice to hear some specific arguments against instead of Penrose-like quantum handwaving and pet analogies.
> I'm getting rather annoyed at people telling me the estimate was useless anyway. I used it!

Indeed, but I think the argument is more: at best it was a current workload time indicator. I'm still on 10.11 but think I might just make a battery power indicator of my own. Been wanting a better one for a while anyway.

I agree that language matters but I don't agree with your assertion.

'Girl' is the feminine of 'Boy' but it is ALSO the feminine of 'guy'.

As in: "the guys and I are going for lunch, are you in?"

There is no condescension or diminution.
Grown women will also refer each other girls.

I've heard a similar argument before, in reference to race. The logic is equally weak when crusty old white bigots use it.

I see what you've misread now. To explain: they look two to three hops away using the metadata (phone records and until Obama cancelled the program before Snowden leaked anything, the email envelope data — from and to). They did not actually request the data of everybody three hops away, and nowhere in your quote is that claim made.

PRISM doesn't "fill in gaps." It is their main source of actionable intelligence according to the leaked slides, and it only contains the data of the person being watched, requested via court order, approved by the company, and then sent to the FBI.
>Our government chose to increase immigration and a lot of people didn't like that so the government blamed the EU, this went on for a while and brexit was the eventual response.

Well, your government chose to increase immigration while also suppressing housing construction and wages. The result is that the government set the immigrants against the native-born citizens in a zero-sum economic contest for basic human needs, while the rich eat up all available economic gains that could have gone to young workers or old pensioners.

Folks said the same thing when Red Hat became RHEL. I remember because I was one of them both times. That being said these things blow over and while you specifically get it, I can tell you first hand that many people do not and get REALLY confused.
Yes, I think people would pay and I think you're not charging enough. Think about what an SE would charge an entrepreneur to build a product.

> Promises to get you at least 100 people to sign up to your pre-launch list within 4 weeks or else all the work done is yours for free. These are targeted people that opted in, showing interest in your idea which you can then later work with to launch your product to, or talk to in order to improve what you're working on.

What about a pipeline of leads and an outbound marketing campaign instead; and then the execution of that campaign once the product is built would be another way to do it - I think some SE folks would love to build a product but completely outsource the marketing of it until they have some traction. Thats the problem you're solving.
I should add: I don't want to take away from the seriousness of the issue ... but it's really nuanced, and people get emotional and really quite biased about it. I think we need to be a little more dispassionate and objective.

One thing we can all agree upon is that Reuters is no longer a trusted or serious news source with clikcbate titles like this.
If Gecko is ever able to get rid of all of it's C++, it won't happen for quite a while, that will be an enormous undertaking. I would expect, if Rust is successful enough that that is feasible, then by that time there would be multiple different Rust implementations, and some of them may be written in pure Rust.

There's no fundamental reason that the Rust compiler has to be dependent on LLVM. It's just a good strategic decision as it allows the Rust developers to focus on the parts of the compiler that are unique to Rust, and use a well tested backend with lots of existing optimizations and targets for the parts that aren't particularly unique to Rust. There is actually some discussion already of using a faster, pure-Rust backend for debug builds, and maybe far in the future for release builds as well (https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/possible-alternative-compi...).
> He took highly-classified information to China & Russia. What other word than 'traitor' applies?

Do you guys keep repeating falshoods over and over again even in the face of evidence to the contrary for a reason? Do you think if you keep spouting lies they will somehow become true?

He leaked the information to journalists globally. He didn't hand the information over to China or Russia. Whatever information they might have on US surveillance operations came from the same leaks the journalists have chosen to release. Snowden was not in possession of any documents by the time he arrived in Russia.

> he's a criminal, a spy and — yes — a traitor.

A criminal under the espionage act yes, but he's also a whistleblower that is being denied whisteblower protections.

A spy? I assume you have some proof of this otherwise you are talking out of your ass.

A traitor? A traitor to his superiors maybe. His loyalty was to the American people first and foremost, not the government. As yours should be. He betrayed a secretive, undemocratic practice by an unaccountable government. The people should be singing his praises because he acted in the very interests of the Republic and its people, you know that thing you all claim to love and protect in your weird, cult-like pledges of allegiance that you force your kids to recite? The fact that you have been convinced by those that don't have your interests at heart that a man that was trying to help you is your enemy is the ultimate fucking tragedy here.
Why your mobile app should never call an external API
I keep feeling like the debate over Net Neutrality is ignoring the elephant in the room: that ISPs have access to inspect your traffic at all.

We don't need rules to enforce a neutral internet if we create a traffic system where 3rd parties can't see your destination before you get there. We don't need to have a debate or try to explain the reasons at all if we use better encryption and routing protocols.

This is all technically doable, I just feel like we haven't allowed privacy to be a high enough priority, and we won't really get net neutrality until we decide to make privacy more important than giving ISPs and government the ability to look at everything we do online.
The base problem is that browsers are trying to be friendly by auto-downloading or auto-playing media files.

If neither of those happened, these exploits could not be automated (though social engineering would always be an option).

Heck, the download itself is not a problem. The problem is that the DEs, in an attempt at being "helpful" detect and parse every new file for inclusion into their search functionality. And the parsing in this instance gets done by passing the file through gstreamer, and away we go again.

This is idiocy on par with autorun!
> Immigration and how the government can help tech with things like H-1B visas to keep and bring in more talent. Nadella pointed out that much of the company’s spending on research and development was in the U.S., even if 50 percent of the sales were elsewhere, so that immigration would benefit those here.

If the H1B program remains, they need to give foreign workers the ability to switch firms while in the US. Current policy forces them to remain with their current firm, which reduces their bargaining power and puts them at risk of being overworked and exploited. Further, it reduces competition between firms, lowering wages. (e.g. it is difficult for a H1B worker to get another job with a pay raise, so they are stuck with whatever salary they have.)

A study by U Notre Dame (which I cannot find on mobile) showed that H1B visas did not increase innovation measured by patent grants, but did 1) increase company profits, and 2) decrease all salaries at the firm, citizen and non-citizen.

This suggests the true incentive of H1B visas is to increase profits by lowering wages, not to find workers that firms are unable to find as citizens.
Well, except "inflammable" means "flammable", so the "un" is the only negative, and it has exactly the impact on the meaning of the word that it always does.

Sometimes I pay $10 for a cup of coffee and a croissant, which are finished in half an hour. I feel that I get $10 of value out of it, and on a similar scale, I would probably get $10 of value out of this game (if I could get it on Android...). I think a big difference is something another commenter said: I don't know that I'm going to get more value out of paying for this game than I would have if I played a different game for free, whereas I know I'm going to enjoy my coffee and croissant.

> John McCarthy wrote 6 easy things in machine code, then combined them to make a programming language.

John McCarthy didn't implement Lisp in machine code. Steve Russell did. Implementing Lisp properly in machine code is not easy; you have to write a garbage collector. To do that in the early 60s, you had to first invent garbage collection. Lisp was and is brilliant, but not as easily bootstrappable as this makes it out to be.

> It's not obvious that these six things are computationally complete (AKA Turing Complete).

`lambda` and function application alone are Turing-complete, as McCarthy would have known. The credit here belongs with Turing and Church, not McCarthy. `atom`, `cons`, `car` and all the rest are just icing on the cake of the lambda calculus when it comes to computability.

> All other meaning can be defined in terms of them.

Yes, and you can build everything on top of the SK combinator calculus if you like, but that doesn't make it a good idea. Lisp is surprisingly practical given how few core constructs it has, but real Lisp implementations have always added more primitives (eg. numbers and addition) for reasons of practicality.

> The language was defined in terms of itself as an interpreter. This is a proof by construction that the language is computationally complete.

No, it isn't. To prove Turing-completeness you need to show that you are as powerful as Turing machines. To do this it suffices to show that you can interpret a language already known to be Turing-complete. Showing you can interpret yourself does not suffice. It's easy to define a language which can do nothing useful except interpret itself, for example. (See also wyager's comment.)

> Well, Lisp is defined as an interpreter in terms of itself from the get-go, just like a Universal Turing Machine.

No. Defining a language only in itself is nonsense, for exactly the reason given above: it means nothing yet! It's like writing in a dictionary:

qyzzyghlm, v. intr. To qyzzyghlm.

It explains nothing unless you already understand it!

> Lisp is a universal language because it can interpret its own code. While you can certainly write a JavaScript interpreter in JavaScript, none of the work is done for you.

Almost none of the work is done for you in Lisp either. The core of Lisp is just a relatively easy language to implement, while Javascript is a difficult one. Lisp is easy to implement because it has simple syntax (s-expressions) and few core constructs. The only thing that is special about implementing Lisp in Lisp is that Lisp uses s-expressions as its core data structure, so you don't have to invent an AST representation. The article, to its credit, explores this idea later.
> In my personal experience, roughly 90% of philosophy publications are trash (give or take), but the remaining 10% are extremely interesting and worth reading both by philosophers and people outside the field.

I came to the conclusion that philosophy has such a negative image among many empirical and structural scientists because philosophers don't clearly distance themselves from this kind of crap. So even "serious" philosophers are considered as part of this crap to the outside. Physicists on the other hand are often very outspoken about "crackpot physics" (mathematicians [I am one] are in my mind a little less outspoken, but still very clear in distancing themselves from crackpot mathematics).

Having voluntarily heard two lecture series of philosophy, I have to admit that there are some questions that philosophers consider that are actually exciting. But the large problem that I see is that (in opposite to structural or empirical science) the philosophers working on the individual isolated topics seem to have no desire to unite their individual parts into a big united theory (like the abstract and very encompassing frameworks in mathematics or the attempts in physics to unite general relativity with quantum field theories).
No.. this is an unreasonable argument. Whilst you might think garish adverts are unsavoury, I don't think you should compare it to illegal and terrible things such as rape.
How does it compare to resharper C++ in case you have tried both?

I've only given each of them a brief look this morning. I certainly would not have gathered that about react-toolbox - and those among the kinds of issues that really tend to bother me.

Also, for Material-UI, I don't particularly like the idea of relying so heavily on inline styles and already know where it will cause some issues in the future of this project.

I'm not a hardcore hypermiler, but just doing little tricks (minimizing throttle/braking, "reading" traffic, maintaining an appropriate speed/distance relative to other cars, etc) makes quite a bit of difference in the commute. I have a small (tiny?) turbocharged car and can get 40-42 mpg on my commute between Denver and Boulder.

Honest question: what would be the equivalent of "guy" in your opinion when referring to a female in a professional environment (assuming that referring to males as "guys" is acceptable)?
More correct but less useful isn't actually better. An estimate of time remaining is more meaningful than a percentage of battery capacity remaining, even if the latter can be provided with more accuracy.
Ruputedly, Andrej Karpathy and perhaps others recently saw offers of that size (presumably including incentives and options).

But the claim has become an pop meme, so who knows.
Good job, do you plan to add more components?

One factor is that you can't just go to "$language.org" and download the canonical version of the language. There are many different and somewhat incompatible versions of the language for various platforms and multiple decades of books written for the various stages of the evolution of each competing implementation.

Lisp is incredibly malleable and this may have hurt it over the years.
The gulf between web design and web development has widened greatly in the last 8 years.

For casual users putting together a website, templated drag-and-drop site generators like Wix and others have replaced this kind of tool.

For professionals, there are CSS frameworks and other component libraries that can be used to build complex layouts, and these people aren't uncomfortable with an edit source-save-preview cycle -- nor did existing WYSIWYG tools keep up with the technology here.

Most browsers now ship with sophisticated devtools that allow the page's DOM tree and styles to be manipulated in real-time. This made the long tail of display issues debuggable in the browser itself, and is great for when one does want to see how small changes to the source will affect the final layout.

Furthermore, some of 'web design' these days goes to single-page apps these days instead of strictly websites, and require a complex toolchain to build anyway.
Buying power is largely concentrated with the English speaking though, even if it isn't their first language. Most people who do not speak English are also lower on the income scale. As in less than $500 per month in income

The point is definitely collecting the special coins. The pink coins seem to get harder to obtain as the game goes on. The purple coins afterwards are even harder, and the onyx coins are really challenging.

Yes, and for good reason :-)
That's a fair point. I definitely had the wrong expectations going into the game, but that's part of the frustration. It looks, sounds, and moves so much like the Mario games I've enjoyed in the past that my mind naturally expects the gameplay to be similar. If it were themed any differently, I probably wouldn't be as critical - it'd just feel like another Geometry Dash-style game (not necessarily a bad thing, but not a favorite either).
So, the solution to a market taxed by a hegemon is to create even bigger hegemon?

Very well put. I have to agree that these technologies are still blooming and there are uncertainties--especially in my mind with cost associated with buying devices. Hololense for example with a $3000.00 USD developer edition isn't exactly accessible to the general community! The next 10 years however will probably be pretty exciting in the AR/VR space.

What about voice-controlled programming though? I always thought it would be nice to voice-control my OS. Not specifically for a text-editor, but as a general interface to the OS. It would be nice to move these features out of the cloud and directly onto systems. But then again, a lot of companies (amazon, microsoft, apple) probably don't want to encourage reverse-engineering of their intellectual property. We definitely need open-source variants.

Better AI chips with lower power-consumption and optimization for these types of operations will hopefully usher in a new set of productivity-enhancing applications!
> Even more oddly, the double-negative (un & in) has no impact on its meaning "not flammable."

But in- is not necessarily negative, it's also a prefix that can mean "in" (like indoors, ingrown): inflammable means it "can be in flames".

Actually, French makes it more obvious, as the verb for setting aflame is "enflammer" where "en-" is clearly the prefix that means "in", not the prefix that means "not".

At least English uses two different prefixes for "uninflammable", even if there's some confusion possible. French has it as "ininflammable", with two "in-" prefixes that mean different things.
Trust Google to have such an uninspiring design.
I have a hard time imagining these exact same four points not being equally urgent if we were ushering in a Clinton administration.

From an IT perspective, I think it's more important to recognize the increasing complexity and chaos of our security environment, and recognize that governments are not homogeneous objects, but themselves composed of good actors and bad actors.

Your single source does not actually collect his friend's data. According to Snowdon's leaks, it was used to find a court-ordered monitored target's traffic leaving or entering the country. It does not actually siphon all data, including emails, to the NSA.

MUSCULAR provides similar filtering capability within Google's and Yahoo's networks, though not anymore because they encrypt all traffic. Again, only metadata. And again, the email envelope collection had already been shut down prior to the leaks according to the leaked documents. According to Snowden's leaks, the NSA is not allowed to keep communications from a US citizen or anybody even living inside the US without a court order, so no, his friend's emails don't reside with the US government.
Well, that's my argument. A current workload time indicator is really handy to have.
