I quite like Forth. It feels like a blend of lisp and apl. And even ml if you squint a bit at it as an applicative as composition system.

People on reddit seems to hint at the fact that Forth people stay under the radar because it allow them to design and solve problems in better ways.

I wonder how true it is ..
Most likely not the answer you're looking for...

The most recent act of negligence by a journalistic institution that has happened recently was reported by The Intercept (Glenn Greenwald's gig) about the Washington Post's reporting on how Russia was behind the "fake news" propaganda that was unfortunately in itself a sort of propaganda. To discover why, you'll have to read those articles yourself.

In any case, I think journalists typically keep each other in check. And, thankfully, in prestigious institutions you're judged by the quality of your work and whether or not it can be fact checked. Unfortunately, reported facts in the United States are about as big of a hand patting Barack Obama on the back after winning the next election. Everything is irony and nothing is sincerity.

The only plugin I really care about is ublock origin. If that stays, I'll keep ff otherwise I'll go back to chrome. I suppose there's no way of knowing whether a given plug in is possible in future without having access to the source.
Ah, that answers that question then.

I had a look on wikipedia. There is a section on some "tests" conducted by NASA, but "the intent was to create a three-dimensional view of his brain structure and to compare the images to MRI scans done in 1988". That doesn't tell me much about why they thought he had an interesting enough brain to try to image, i.e. why they were convinced he was a savant.

Does your comment mean you know why NASA (and others, I guess) thought he was legit?
Well, no, but with things like this you sort of tend to assume that the basic structure of everyone's brain is pretty much the same, so it only takes n=1 to stuff that you can pretty safely extrapolate to everyone.

It would be a different matter if we expected an array of different brain mechanisms at the information-pathway level. Compare to how we do probably expect variation at, like, reasoning and emotional levels, maybe.
Ah, I see. I was getting Secure Boot confused with Trusted Boot, which was available in the XP era.
So what was the problem with Clojure? The article makes no connection between the demonstration of the benefits of Either and why they ditched Clojure. As a Clojure user I can only imagine that they did not have the competency (hiring problems for example). Why don't you just pick up Kotlin and forget about nulls altogether?
Hah. Well, I expect an appropriately patched version of NTLDR will surface pretty soon then - especially considering the signing issues are moot (see elsewhere in this thread).
I don't know why you're being downvoted, this is a good insight. Particularly in the Java Enterprise world, the documentation can be very wordy, and of the form 'indoctrinate you into this way of thinking'. A barebones example from someone who knows the framework can be much more illuminating than pages of prose.
I like how you have a simple toggle for remote jobs. As remote work becomes increasingly popular, this is a good feature.
Can you read this?
Sorry but I have a feeling nobody can read me.
Personally, I use Firefox because Mozilla is a non-profit organization with a mandate to support a free and open Internet, which includes protecting the privacy of Internet users. That sounds like very fine words, but they do the technical work to make these things happen, such as their collaboration with the Tor project: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-heart-firefox

I use Chrome as well, but ultimately Chrome belongs to Google, just as Edge and Safari belong to rival corporations. Using a corporate Web browser is a reasonable choice, but it's not something that I would do for UI reasons.
Maybe. But after having used a Win10 tablet for a while i find that the whole "app" side of things feels bolted on.

If you want to do some serious file manipulations you invariably has to drop back to the age old file explorer and the related Win32 file picker window. And those are anything but fun to operate via a touch screen.
Two questions:

1. What is the difference between elected dictatorship and democracy?

2. Will Americans stop screaming 'Murica', 'We are number 1' from now? This president and how elections are held in this country are a joke. So much for democratic process and respect for the office.
While I agree with the spirit or what you say, that could backfire very poorly. Suppose that the NSL were sent as part of an investigation on someone planning some sort of attack, such as a mass shooting, and disclosing the NSL ends up exposing that and causing it to fail. The blowback would end up providing stronger support for secrecy.

Unlikely, but possible - and when you're the one making the decision to disobey, you have to consider it. I don't know what I would do in that situation, honestly.

I think the correct approach is not a gag order that makes it illegal to disclose an NSL, but that an NSL should be accompanied with an explanation of what it is for and what the stakes are. A presumption of good faith in the organization to act in best interests, but leaving the ability to disclose to disclose to the public if it is felt that the NSL is in the wrong.
I've tried skeptics-stackexchange but I was not convinced by the arguments.
They're talking about the Surface Hub which comes in 55" and 84" sizes and is priced to match.
Yeah, but good idea about the stub loader. That was actually my first train of thought, too.
Scala is still a baroque abomination which excels in nothing and the advantages are shadowed by its warts. Kotlin is just Turbo Java.
So, let's say I'm a US citizen, and I'm married to a greencard holder from one of these non-Christian countries. She's traveling abroad, and she's stopped from coming home. And think about that word, "home."

I would consult with my spouse, and then immediately look for employment or some other temporary arrangement (including political asylum? new territory) in some friendlier country, then quit without notice and uproot my life and family to new arrangements. And never look back.

I completely understand your point. It is boring and OK for average citizens but when we talk about states like Iran and Saudi, the context is more about your rights if you speak up against the governments, are some kind of activist or are part of a religious/ethnic minority. Life for that subgroup of people is not exactly the same as for the majority in such states. North Korea is an extreme example of this and India/Pakistan are mild examples. Iran and Saudi are somewhere in between.
Really Hacker news?!

We should use exception all the time. We should adopt exceptional programming.

null is the type to return, just in case we haven't thrown an exception yet.

Everyone know the exception API, how to throw them, how to catch them, we have to use it all the time. It's great.

We definitely don't need a strong type system, we need an exceptional programming language, everything is an exception.

I'll give one business idea away because my sister stole all my mother's money. She did it in a passive aggressive legal way. Yea--she's not a good person. If she was a man, she would be called out on her complete lack of any morality, but she squeaks by on the, "I'm just a crafty female trying to make it in a man's world?". She is a piece of work, but a business mastermind.

When she first started in her garage, she told me, "The average woman will spend thousands on fashion--even if they become fashion victims." I thought she was being overly simplistic, but I was wrong. My sister is a multi-millionaire. She is also very lonely because of the way she got a lot of her money. She's always trying to find peace. Buddhism one year--yoga the next--everything except what she was brought up in--Christianity. Now it's a new younger Latin husband who's very close to his family. She's in complete denial, but rich.

The idea; Make women's shoes. Buy the old shoe making equipement, and make shoes. Hire a woman as a Designer. (A woman other women try to copy. In most social groups there is one. Men usually can't pick her out. We look for different qualities. The Designer needs to know fashion.)

Women love shoes. Yes--men love shoes too, but right now it's mainly Nikes, or tennis shoes. Women will spend $400 on a pair of shoes without batting an eye. They buy shoes monthly.

(I'm throwing this business idea out there because we need to start throwing out good ideas. Please reciprocate?)
have you checked outsystems? it seems to fit your needs.
No, I just wonder why you came in here doubting it. It's so unlikely that nobody ever thought to check. It's not impossible, but it's certainly unlikely.
Is it correct to say this kind of direct imaging only works if the planets are large and hot enough to have a significant infrared output of their own, rather than light reflected from their star?
This. I'll totally confess that I'm very indulgent towards original Netflix programs. I'm paying for it so I want to believe I've made the right choice.
Ahh yes finally a book! Now I can learn more about the role to see if I'd like to apply. I've always liked writing code and devops. Perhaps this is a perfect role.
Great to see links to the papers!
Yes, that's what I said. When you are starting a project where you need tight control and deal very close to metal, you'd choose between Rust, C++, C, D etc. Go wouldn't even be a choice here.

Instead if you project is a higher level application server, you'd choose between Go, Elixir, Erlang, Java, Python, Node etc. Go should be compared with these languages and ecosystems.
This is a good exercise in learning why counting CVEs doesn't give you anything.

If you look closer at the pdfium vulns (I reported some of those) they include all kinds of "safety violations" with unclear impact. E.g. integer overflows, invalid memory reads etc. Many of those are simply undetectable without source-level check tools (mostly the C sanitizers).

The Chrome team has a policy of counting a lot of stuff as vulns if it "could" cause a security issue. This is good - better safe than sorry. But it blows up their CVE count and makes them look bad for people doing bad statistics.
I've been involved in a failing business and we knew more than 4 days out that there was no money in the bank.

Hoping the problem will go away rarely makes the problem go away.
There's also privacy settings - unless Facebook have wiped all my settings since I last checked (they used to do this lots but don't seem to any more) you're not going to see basically anything without adding me. That's probably distinguishable from a fake if you look closely, but similar enough that those accounts might look the same if you're just taking a quick look at each account.
1) If I had to guess you are conflating two things when you say democracy. When people say 'democracy' in western countries they are usually referring to a particular form of democracy: liberal representative democracy, or also occasionally refereed to as constitutional democracy. Its quite possible to have illiberal democracies with some contemporary illiberal democracies being Egypt, Russia, Philippines, and increasingly Turkey. Democracy, in either its representative or direct form doesn't guarantee liberal values such as due process, freedom of the press, and formal or informal political oppositions.

A population can keep willing electing a dictator and that dictator could even be popular, but that political system would not be a 'democracy' as you might normally recognise; it will espouse none of the liberal values that places like the UK and the US typically expect.

Hey, Adrian here -- I actually run PyImageSearch.com. I don't want to sell you on the course, I think the content speaks for itself. But if you want to talk to members who have gone through the course and see the value they got out of it, just let me know. Send me a message (http://www.pyimagesearch.com/contact/) and then I'll connect you with graduates. Also, if there is a specific topic you're looking to study just let me know and I can see if the course is a good fit for you.
Last time I checked (3 years ago) this project didn't seem very active in terms of submission numbers and it appears that this hasn't really changed (7 submissions in Jan 2017). Not sure why, but the UI may be one reason.
>What is the difference between elected dictatorship and democracy?

In countries where elected dictators rule you can vote for anyone you want, as long as its the dictator.

>Will Americans stop screaming 'Murica', 'We are number 1' from now? This president and how elections are held in this country are a joke. So much for democratic process and respect for the office.

This statement only holds water if you'd feel that same way if your preferred candidate won.

> hand-hold turn-key solutions

And this is why the enterprise sector is so terrible. Everyone thinks that magic genies come out of lamps, if only you rub the lamp with enough money. It's why enterprises get solutions which, again and again, are unperformant, don't meet their actual needs, deliver poor satisfaction, and eventually end up costing the company in reputation and business in the long run.

You can't take hand-configured and hand-tuned monolithic systems and load them into the cloud, not anymore than you could take mainframe code and write a nice C wrapper for it. Sure, there are all kinds of hacks, but then, what you're really doing is selling marketing to the shareholders, not meaningfully improving the underlying engineering.

Of course Microsoft can make a ton of money selling some of these hacks to enterprises. After all, the customer is always right. But that kind of mindset is completely foreign to Google's culture. If you won't tolerate crummy hacks in your internal engineering, why would you sell a crummy hack to your customers?
What I was saying that choice of identifier of the variables/function does not matter for the functionality, as long as they all refer consistently to the same thing. Take code obfuscated by replacing variable names, for instance. People don't argue we should run the code through such obfuscator out of worry that the identifiers can change meaning through code changes.

> If we could make outdated comments produce compilation errors, we would live in a wonderful world

It is impossible. The whole point of having comments (and also identifiers) is to tie the code to things that are not formally described. If we would formally describe them, they would become the code.

You could, at best, mark identifiers in comments (and what their refer to), and then you could use this to hint at comments that need to be updated (as somebody else mentioned). But it will never be a perfect process, because there will always be a boundary between formal and informal.
> And as an Iraqi on a work visa, Al-Tameemi can no longer pop over to Canada – he wouldn’t be allowed to return.

Not at all to minimize the disruption, or personal circumstances, but yes he can pop over to Canada, as long as he's willing to not come back to America. He has skills in demand. It's definitely an option (not knowing the Canadian legal situation for him).
Firefox is so utterly underrated these days. Such a shame. It's a good browser which puts the user in control and just gets the job done.
This isn't an "about face" - google is continuing to work with the White House, just as it has so far.
Executive orders are quite limited in their scope although they may be very harmful.
They are not laws and can certainly be illegal and hence repelled.
I don't think that's true. It applies to everything they consider emergency unless I'm misreading. Also: they decide what constitutes an emergency. They could use this for any reason, for anything. They ARE using it, as a threat, for the econimic crisis.

Those votes are only necessary for things like new member additions (which are indeed mostly what the council is for). I think this requires a mere majority, which presumably is equivalent to having a majority in the commission in practice.

But even if it were true, and the only power they have is to fund or defund member states' governments ... that's not a real limitation to their power.

And lastly, if all the power is in the hands of the executive, as it is in Europe, that does not constitute a modern democratic state.
Reading an API's documentation doesn't mean that the mental overhead when using it is gone.
You still have to think about how the pieces fit together, how to get from generic examples to your specific case etc.

I can dream up APIs which will keep confusing you, no matter how long you use them (hello Android SDK!). Or which have difficult to memorize syntax (hello Bash!).

I liked the roadmap on the OA's page.

Others have mentioned the stick-on dry wipe vinyl whiteboards that are available. For walls there is also 'magic whiteboard' - a roll of plastic material that sticks to the wall using static electricity.

I'd mention the 'mini-whiteboards' sold for use in classrooms - usually A4/Letter size. These are about 2mm thick and can be used as clipboards as well with a suitable bulldog clip. My final idea would be to get a map case like the one that hikers use to keep their maps dry and put completed whiteboards in that for reference.

Personally, I prefer paper/pen &c
Maybe that is a strength, selling low cost solutions in volume is completely different to high margin enterprise sales.

I'm pretty sure you can't excel at both, you need to decide what you are and it seems clear to me Amazon and Google are both in the first segment and Microsoft is heading (retreating?) towards the second.
All OAuth tokens, even the official ones, are leaked at this point. Google them.
The problem is that I'm well aware that charlatans do exist [1] but I've no idea why you say that his skils are not under dispute. Does this mean you know of some sort of test, some demonstration in controlled conditions etc? I'd like to see it, too, please.

Edit: How was he well-documented? Where is that documentation?

Five-year-old savant from LA who displays signs of being telepathic - and is already learning seven languages - is being studied by scientists after his mother filmed him 'reciting numbers written in secret'

+ Ramses Sanguino, aged five, was filmed seemingly displaying telepathy
+ He correctly recounted numbers that were written down 'out of eyesight'
+ Videos were posted online and attracted the attention of a neuroscientist
+ Ramses is now part of a cutting-edge telepathy study by Dr Diane Powell
+ His mother insists the footage of her autistic son's 'talents' is not trickery

Not just a savant, but a telepath to boot. And there's a neuroscientist involved.

Look, it's not my fault that a lot of that stuff about savants is a bunch of hooey. If that guy, the original Rain Man, was legit, and we know for a fact he was legit, I want to know why it is that we know it.
If you're satisfied that 90% is enough, then you stop. Does that not qualify as 'done'?
I feel that a lot of this talk about "fit" and personality types is completely off the mark. The most important personality in a team member, in my experience, is emotional maturity (though perhaps there is a better name).

What I mean by that is the ability to accept criticism in work without feeling personally offended, being able to discuss a topic with the goal of reaching the right answer instead of your answer. If a team of people have that, they can make it work, even with different personality types. In fact, different personality types make for more dynamic teams.
OmniGraffle for hand crafted, and general purpose diagrams. Also for mobile diagrams since I have OmniGraffle on my iPhone and iPad Pro. (Apple Pencil support too)

Graphviz and a text editor for quick structured or hierarchical diagrams.

AsciiFlow, for rough and ready diagrams that I need to share quickly or for inclusion in documents where Graphviz is unsuitable.

Those three are my go to tools depending on what kind of diagrams I am working on. I'll use yEd from yWorks on FreeBSD and Linux.

Finally when push comes to shove I'll wind up with Microsoft Visio usually because of either compatibility or having to work on windows.

For UML I think your going to struggle with a pure open source stack. I've found diagramming tools to be one of the weakest parts of open source productivity suites. UML is quite likely to produce a lot of diagrams and your going to want good tools to deal with this. I recommend you chose the best diagramming tool for your platform of choice and just pay for it if it's not free. Wrestling with poor diagram tools is a complete waste of time when good tools that make working with diagrams very easy. I've yet to see a diagramming tool that costs more than the time it saved me. Even Microsoft Visio earned its keep over the few years each license lasted me.

The science underpinning the idea of learning, memory, recall and is based/described in neuroscience at at cellular level. So you can read papers. The coursework is really at a more abstracted level describing the processes as a model based on cited research. This is a high level course to improve learning, not STEM as such. Still very useful.

Democracy is a system of government in which the citizens exercise power directly or elect representatives from among themselves to form a governing body.

If basic human rights aren't guaranteed by the government, citizens may not be able to exercise their power. Other actors may therefore rule and govern.

As such, authoritarian regimes that denies such rights to its citizens can't be called democracies.
>> This statement only holds water if you'd feel that same way if your preferred candidate won.

The fact that a bumbling idiot (apologies for my language)can become the leader of a country, fill the white house with 'swamp' leaders and within ONE WEEK sign so many executive orders and actions:

- without studying the history of why things are the way they are

- without appropriate counsel of stakeholders

- without any repercussions for such actions (no checks and balances provided by democratic systems)

I think my statement holds water regardless of who got elected president.
