1. What's the license of TurboPFor,TurboRLE ?

2. Have you tried comparing TurboPFor that with roaring bitmaps ?

3. Have you tried if it makes sense putting it in lucene (on the postings list)?

4. What forums would you suggest for low level stuff on compression,indexes,search-engine,db-engine,mechanical-sympathy ?

5. What do you work on in real-life? Or licensing the libs?

6. Is it possible to make lucene 10X+ faster and what would need to be done (in high level) ? (like what scylladb did to cassandra, like they didn't change the language but architecture explained here: http://www.scylladb.com/technology/architecture/)

The backstory about how hot-air balloons came to be Smalltalk's logo is interesting.
"A civilised nation does not charge or jail anyone for a thing they MIGHT do. If we do it to terrorists, then we will do it to anyone. The simple and hard truth is that if a few thousand people want to kill you, one of them will probably manage it. They only have to get it right once.

Germany did not 'let Amri in', and nor did Italy. He was denied the right to remain in two nations which picked him up on their radar in exactly the way they should have done.

It was Tunisia who allowed a wanted criminal to roam free, and to leave its borders. It was Tunisia who refused to accept him back. It was Tunisia that took four months to issue a passport. And it's Tunisia that has a massive problem with terrorism, and an estimated 7,000 of its citizens who are members of Islamic State."

The show's been around for awhile now, but there's a spoiler which takes suspense out of a major scene in the first paragraph....

To me what most of these portrayals lack is how mundane real scientists are. Completely brilliant in one area and boring, ignorant, and ill-informed in others - just like anyone else. Neil Degrasse Tyson (just one popular science figure today) is as likely to have a valid opinion on politics or history as Joe Montana - but you wouldn't think it.

There's a very real appeal to authority inherent in it, but as long as you can appeal to a scientist - you're alright. What's slightly terrifying to me is the worship of "science" and it being used to justify every Reddit thread, when in reality we're training the public to worship scientism.

Doesn't Big Bang Theory run on the same network as Two Broke Girls after football games? It's popularity might not have much to do with science...
Hell yes. I'm a "drummer" first. I don't mention this because drumming is rarely thought as musical. It does make you reflect on different part of the musical continuum. To summarize my years twirling sticks:

- drumming often lead to learning things slow. Focusing on minute details that are ignored, also meditative (you have to be slow and low energy but it's dense, you pay attention at the 10th of a second so you're constantly mentally and physically active)

- limb independance is akin to meditation for me, playing patterns involving all limbs massages my brain. It's like trying to balance on a virtual wire. It's a game of doing more with less and abstracting the motion of each limb into another form of data. You must not think of one limb in particular. You feel rhythm and accents, and you distribute to some limbs... I feel like a live compiler.

- oddly technique also required revisiting my understanding of physics. It's all about angular momentum, shifting gravity center and inertia. Also doing less with more by distributing the effort on every possible muscle. Makes you reflect on a global basis about each hit.
Oh and I forgot, to do lengthy single hand rolls with accents, you don't rotate your wrist, you wave your forearm, hand and stick (it has to be smooth like low basketball dribbling, you'll see if you look for moeller technique later) accents are just a blip in amplitude at the forearm wave; the hand wave will keeps as it is so you'll keep time and won't feel tired because waving doesn't require much energy (half the energy comes from sensitivity and reusing the response of the skin to let the stick go up).

It was through this that I started to "see" music. I played bass too, and along the way melody and harmony started to make sense at the intuitive level (I only took 1 year of accelerated formal theory training on piano as a teen, taught me approximately nothing about "music")

All in all, I'm a brainiac (for better or worse) .. different people will see other things in drumming.

ps: One last thing, at first drumming felt like an immense beast to tame. Famous drummers did things I could barely see, even less understand. My mind skipped to conclusion thinking to reach that level I had to do more and play like a fighter jet. It's the other way around, it changed your view about your perception and interpretation of the world through your senses. As I told before it's all a game of economy, but you have to experience each cymbal, skin, sticks, subtle space and time placement to finally see that just a few strokes well placed are enough to recreate that "complex" thing. It's a bit like when you finally understand a software architecture, you realize how small it is, but you connected the dots and see how much it can do.

https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/wiki/index is a pretty good place to start. The ARRL has manuals that walk through the theory behind the exams for the US licences. The extra class book explains the theory of building a modern transceiver, starting with doping silicon to make semiconductors.

Wow, it did load super fast on a slow phone and over 3g; however, once loaded, and a couple of seconds after content skimming, interacting with the site was clumsy. In particular, touching a category element was unresponsive. On a second experiment I waited 10 seconds before interacting and it worked fine. I guess there is some UI blocking JS scripiting going on right after load.

You see a lot of it on HN too.

Someone will make a mostly bullshit claim, and then when asked to support it will provide a link to a newspaper report of a single study.

>If you're into left-wing politics, Ursula Le Guin wrote several novels that combine sci-fi with left-wing preachiness in a package that feels extremely overbearing. My favorite are The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed. Meanwhile, a more recent novel of hers, Lavinia, is an SJWish mockery of ancient Roman epic fantasy.

>Margaret Atwood is another author who doesn't get mentioned a lot around here but whose works of SF(she prefers "speculative fiction" to "sci-fi") I've enjoyed a lot. Her MaddAddam trilogy is weird and preachy. You'll probably hate it. Her other works focus on SJW ranting about issues of sex and gender in various past and future settings, some fictional, some historical.

>Of course, I as well as a lot of other commenters in this thread are assuming that you'll be into ham-handed left-wing message fiction, because that's what we like.

>Le Guin and Atwood are typical ur-SJWs, so you might find them pretentious and tendentious.

FTFY.

Walter White is not really about him being a scientist, but about him being a grown-up, trained professional.

Or maybe that's just supporting the point of the article, that scientists in fiction are not lab-coated magicians anymore, but just one of many breeds of white collar workers. But strictly speaking, I still would think of Walter White as a former scientist at best, because as a school teacher who clearly does not do research. Just like being trained in computer science does not make you a scientist, working in computer science research does.

As someone who was trained on the hardware side of EE, but has a passion for general CS and is truly fascinated by it, I believe this book will be perfect for me.

My programs range from robot control to web apps, but all have been on the uppermost levels of abstraction.

I think for "simple" western movies the term was "horse opera", related is "soap opera", but in science-fiction it is not seen as such a negative term anymore and the definition has expanded to cover a wider range of works. Futuristic with not much in the way of technical details, hero figures, grand conflicts is roughly what makes a space opera now, and at least some of Banks' works fit right in there.
I so wish I could have learned CS this way in college. I ended up doing EE instead, which really came down to a preference for the order in which I learn things.
I can't really pick between the equation giving the Hamiltonian of a system, or the Euler-Lagrange equation. I'll go with the latter, because I learned it first. Learning about these in my classical mechanics course suddenly made an entire class of problems which was previously incredibly tedious to solve fall away into trivially easy forms. I got a similar feeling to when I learned about using Laplace transforms in my ordinary differential equations class.

Who rules this global unity? A government in Washington? London? The UN? People in different cultures want different things from their country. Just look at the US right now. Split down the middle between what kind of leadership there should be right now. And the US is fairly simple in that most people are happy to pigeon hole themselves as either liberal or conservative. On other countries things are more complicated. Ethnic groups who hate one another. Opposing Religions. Separatists. Unionists. In many countries there are separatist movements who want to split the country into smaller countries, because they don't feel like they are adequately represented in the majority.

It's a lot more complex than ditching the silly flags.
Could you point out what you think that has to do with locality?

It mentions it once, to assert it as a desired axiom (and incorrectly assert that QM can be local, which it can't be). I also would argue that GR supports non-local theories well enough, in that the actual geometry can appear macro-Euclidean (or other nice space) while containing micro-bridges which break the locality structure for the "nice" macro space.

A non-local value is any value which can impact things at super-luminal speed (generally, instantaneously). Of course, I would argue that the non-locality is only apparent, and we're simply seeing the shape of things very wrong because of how brains work, the information reaches us, etc.
Well, it's still an incredible achievement
