Any time an industry declares war on its users (as ad tracking did years ago), it gets ugly. I thought the endgame would be manipulating analytics to get extremely specific, high mistargeted auction prices:

I'm shopping for a $1.3M turbine part. It will look nice next to my hand made tibetan merino wool cat stand that I am also shopping for. Of course my eyeballs are worth $1000/minute. Why do you ask?

The traditional model may change, but the cloud will only grow.

PAO concept seams neat, and actually buy it - it will happen to some degree.

BUT - many features are inherently 'centralized' in their nature, and will be service oriented, and thus they will stay on the cloud.

I think we'll see more 'cloud/personal' and more 'IoT' - but the traditional cloud will continue to grow quite rapidly.
False dichotomy. There is a third alternative: a non-abusive advertising model takes over the industry.

It's certainly plausible. All pre-internet advertising avoided tracking of individuals. There exist even now advertising agencies that cannot possibly serve up malware to their customers. Arguably Google achieved its great success by being a less-abusive advertising platform in its day.
Formally speaking, CL lets anything happen when you rebind standard function names; that's what undefined behavior means. It's a good idea to diagnose that, and not difficult to do.

> that doesn't seem to be understood well enough in these discussions is that hygiene is a property of macros, not macro systems

Can you cite a comment which doesn't seem to understand this?

And it is wrong; of course macros can be hygienic or not; but macro systems which crank out automatically hygienic macros are also themselves called hygienic. Everyone understands what that means.

(Or else countless of Lipers, including notable experts, have been wrong for years in how they discuss macros and macro systems.)
What did you think about Modafinil? I went on it for a few months (without advice of a doctor) and thought it put a great pep in my step. Now that I have insurance, I will try to get it prescribed but it seemed gentle in a way, like a different flavor of caffeine but also gave me confidence. Unless I took too much, then I felt on edge, like I was clenching my jaw (probably was).

I guess I am asking you about Modafinil because somehow I was under the impression it's a somewhat casual drug and the rest in your list seem like heavy weights to me. I have never taken any kind of antidepressant but sometimes think I need to.

Ugh. A good and scary reminder of what's lurking around the corner for any of us at any time - including holidays and vacations (Linode's holiday attack last December comes to mind). IMHO, the emotional impact of breaches on the staff who respond to them is under-discussed. The author touches on it here:

> The discovery of a root cause is an important milestone that dictates the emotional environment an incident will take place in, and whether it becomes unhealthy or not.

> A grey cloud will hover over a team until a guiding root cause is discovered. This can make people bad to one another. I work very hard to avoid this toxicity with teams. I remember close calls when massive blame, panic, and resignations felt like they were just one tough conversation away.

> Microsoft got into applications before DOS existed.

Not actually true. DOS was already done when Microsoft hired Charles Simonyi from Xerox Parc to start its application division in 1981.

Multiplan and Word were the first results, released in 1983, by which time it was obvious that Lotus 1-2-3 was going to win.

Simonyi had big ideas about "metaprogramming" and using what was basically a VM to make applications portable. (I ran Multiplan on a Tandy 100-style portable, where the program came on a chip!)

In an interview, Simonyi said:

QUOTE

"Multiplan was done on a byte-coded interpreting system, much like Java. It was probably the most ported system ever deployed. We thought that the market would be fractured for a long time and that we would be on all of those machines -- which we were.
"Interestingly enough, MS-DOS changed that and created a unified market. And, of course, Lotus 1-2-3 made their bet on creating a single, optimized, direct implementation for MS-DOS, and they cleaned up. We learned a lot from that failure. And then of course, when the next shift came to GUIs [graphical user interfaces], we cleaned their clock with Excel."

Nobody said that Ramadan was moving-- not sure how you got that from the article. Paying government employees using the Gregorian calendar, and scheduling things such as meetings and events using the gregorian calendar, sure seems a lot like "running the state using the Gregorian calendar." If you feel that the characterization is not accurate, you should explain why.

The decision to use the Gregorian calendar seems to be mostly based on the desire to save money. A few other news reports also mention that it is connected with the austerity drive and the desire to slash the public payroll. If I were a public servant, I would probably be upset.

It's interesting to note that the Gregorian dates in the Saudi government were banned only in 2012:

Yes. It seems this only works with Intel cards(wifi or ethernet); I don't know the reasons why, though - it might be some firmware support. Also, I find it odd that it can work with the wireless chip - shouldn't the laptop be associated with the AP? If somebody knows, I'd be happy to learn about it.

For a lot of popular packages homebrew is more bleeding edge these days than whatever the default sources are for Ubuntu. It's nice not needing to add a bunch of extra apt sources to get updated packages. Another perk of homebrew is, in most cases it can't really screw up your system. After all these years apt can and still frequently does break things. Just the other day I had to help someone restore an apache config that got hosed due to apt upgrade trying to remove a package. It's in an endless loop of insisting the old package has to be installed before it can be removed or some such non-sense. Of course as you might guess this person's apt sources were full of random things that he most likely found and copy & pasted from random Internet sites. Somehow he had what I guess was a docker nightly build which, when updated, caused all the containers on his machine to be stopped. He thought docker was just buggy and crashed a lot. Good stuff. I very rarely have any of those problems with homebrew.

It is a weird choice of irreversible CPU operation, though. Something like MOV / LD etc. would probably be a better choice.
In my case, it's merely a matter of having worked in large organisations before. The communication overhead is too large. If you have 400 programmers, that's at least 40 teams. If they are all working on the same product, then you have a significant problem with communication.

I once worked on a product with 5000 programmers. Average production was 1 line of code per day per programmer. While LOC may be a poor measure of productivity, at the 250 lines per year level, you've got a serious problem no matter how you look at it.

With those numbers, we were churning 1.25 million lines of code a year, which obviously could not be done without a very large team. But the cost is crippling. Not only that, but there is just no way in hell you are going to hire 5000 good programmers. Deadwood is going to be a massive problem.

What's the solution? Simplification, prioritisation and diversification. If you have to churn a million lines of code a year to say competitive, then it may be too late. Before it gets to that point you need to simplify your code base and throw away the things you don't need. You need to think very clearly about what makes money and what doesn't and you need to have clear priorities for how to downsize your engineering work to a point where the costs don't eat the profit. Finally, once you've got a handle on that, you can build your business by diversifying into separate business areas -- there is no problem churning a million lines of code if it is not all in one product. 10 products, churning 100K LOC each will be much more manageable. But probably you will be much more profitable than that if you manage 10 products each churning 20K LOC per year (on the assumption that a simpler product will be easier to monetise).

Again, LOC is not a reasonable metric, I'm only using it to indicate approximate scope in terms that most programmers can understand.

I don't know how many programmers Twitter has. Like I said, even if it is only 10% and the rest are ops, sales, etc I think they have got problems. TBH, I have trouble imagining Twitter utilising 3000+ sales people effectively as well, but that's not my area of expertise so I will keep my mouth shut.
From the perspective of someone who wants to create a narrative, and doesn't care overmuch about the truth, allowing comments on articles is just a nuissance. If they express a point of view contrary to the narrative, you have to waste time moderating them down so they can't be seen, or (in extreme cases) actually replying to them. So you just post a fake comment or two, scream "think of the children!!!" and shut it down. Or you just wait for that one mentally ill guy to post something crazy and just point to that. Same result.

It's the same tactic news sources use in other contexts, too. You want to create a narrative against candidate or political party X. So find a really loathsome person who supports X and run a story about them. Perfect. Never mind that most people affiliated with X woud never associate with that person.

I recognize the irony in giving dire warnings to someone about to discontinue anxiety medication but:

* Research the potential withdrawal effects. They're much more upsetting and disruptive when you don't know what to expect or how to attribute the effects. But don't panic preemptively and expect all of them, just commit them to memory so that you don't panic if and when they occur.

* As others have suggested - taper off as gradually as you can.

* Do not schedule the discontinuation around any deadlines or professional engagements. Use a bad case of the flu as an excuse - assuming you're in the northern hemisphere it's flu season, and conveniently enough SSRI withdrawal symptoms can resemble those of the flu (http://www.aafp.org/afp/2006/0801/p449.html).

Having been prescribed paroxetene for crippling anxiety and having suffered through severe withdrawal effects myself, hopefully this will help.

OK, that's fair. I think that most of the media believed that Clinton would win. It was actually quite creepy seeing all the glowing tributes to her life, and upcoming presidency. I still have a special commemorative edition of Newsweek from November 8, 2016, celebrating "Hillary Clinton's Historic Journey to the White House." I think I am going to keep this for a while.

I think it is a genius framing of the data.
Thanks for the links, and I see that they are of Norton's work. Going solely on the article, I felt I could understand Norton's view, but in the author's outline of Brown's view, I haven't been able to make the jump from "the laws of gravity... are 'real' in that they exist, again, independently of human observers" to "thought experiments are genuine examples of how the human mind can 'perceive' laws of nature by simply thinking about reality." The first thing I want to ask about that (beyond just how it works) is how can you tell that you are not just making it up? Of course, one way would be to use reasoning to see if your ideas are consistent with what you take to be known, but does that not give you just Norton's view decorated with some metaphysical musings?

I realize that Brown's version may be too subtle to even be summarized in an article such as this, and if someone knows of a link to a fair outline of Brown's views, I would give it a go.

As an aside, I am also amused to see 'real' in quotes (and it is not for the reason I just put it there). It puts me in mind of George Burns' joke about faking sincerity.
You can do this with coq/agda/idris (fully general dependent types) or Haskell (LiquidHaskell). Not C++.

LiquidHaskell is nice because it's all written in comments next to or in a separate file from your Haskell code. This means the Haskell compiler doesn't even have to know about it. On the other hand, when you're using something like Idris for formal programming, you often find your program full of proof witnesses that you aren't actually using for your real code you want to write. You can prove all sorts of things, like that a function only returns negative multiples of 3, or only returns vectors of length 5n+1.
