I like the title, although - or because - obscure could imply weird, mysterious rather than secluded, hidden in secrecy.
I find that stylometry is one of the easier barriers to overcome. For example, one pseudonym can persistently make a grammatical error ( e.g. failing to capitalise proper nouns ) and another can use UK English spellings.

And then there's the general 'vibe' of the forum which shapes how a pseduonym writes. If I were to write the same thing on HN versus IRC I would hope that the styles would be very different.

What's really difficult is comparmentalising information, so that even on the same website two pseudonyms don't demonstrate that they have the same knowledge.

Is it worth the bother? Possibly not, but I find it also makes me concentrate on what I'm writing.

I'm running OpenWRT on a TP-Link TL-WR841N/ND v8 and the LuCI interface that comes out of box is vastly better (cleaner and more feature-full) than the majority of consumer router interfaces I've encountered. In particular, the realtime graph of current connections!

You can likely set your ADSL modem into "bridge mode" and put a user-flashable device between that and your network. Once you get NBN you just connect the WAN port to the NBN termination box and you'll be getting DHCP from your ISP.

Very, very far from 'stochastic modeling', which I actually had to google before answering your comment.
Say you want to translate a sentence from language A to language B. You have a system that generates 10 possible translations in language B. Now you use a language model of language B to figure out which is the best translation by asking the language model which of the translations has the highest probability of being generated by the model.

Not books as such, but great lost works: Fermat's proof of his last theorem. He wrote a letter to a friend that said something like "I have a most elegant proof, but it's too big to fit in the margin." Also the second half of Coleridge's Kubla Khan, lost because of the man from Porlock. Douglas Adams made great play of it in Dirk Gently, IIRC.

I just installed brotli on my ubuntu machine and compared it compressing a executable.

Brotli: 4.77MB -> 1.21MB (8.5s)
xz: 4.77MB -> 1.129MB (1.4s)

LZMA does better than Brotli in the case of binaries by a fair bit every time.
A good example for anonymous investments are bearer bonds. They're illegal in most countries (in their purest form) because they're a prime tool for money laundering. It won't be different for any other anonymous investment.

Also, stock markets are by far more efficient than bitcoin, especially when it comes to larger investments. A reason why algo traders are so widespread is because it's extremely cheap to buy/sell stocks if you're an institutional.
Group of CIA agents are thinking about how to invent a joke for Russian communists. With great struggle they invented a joke about butter. Now, to test their joke, they secretly landed near a city in Siberia and told their joke to a men. Men does not laugh. CIA asking — «Are you understanding the joke? — Yeah, I understand the joke, but what is „butter“?».
This is not correct for the case of binaries.
Yes, you are absolutely right about this. And it's a sad situation.

Which is why it is up to us (the 30+ old timers, lol) to take a stand and demand our rights and the law be respected. Throughout the history of this country, people have fought and died to protect our freedoms. For this, we don't even need a physical fight. We just need to collectively take a stand to demand that the rule of law means something, or that they need to take the proper course of action and amend the constitution so that what they are doing is legal. I refuse to accept this middle ground where they violate the law and aren't shut down and prosecuted even when it's discovered.

I full-heartedly agree. My general impression as someone that has learnt most of C++ afted C++11 is that the biggest drawback to the language are colleagues who either want to "just write C" (and in my experience also tended to riddle whole projects with resource leaks) and/or suffer from "that's not the way I learned it, thus it has to be rubbish" as their lead mentality.

Thought-trough, modern C++ code is IMHO quite often more readable, elegant and generally more pleasant than anything I've seen in C# or Java so far. But it's all hampered by the poor code some people ham-fisted in before or afterwards...

So, at least for me, C++'s biggest drawbacks are many of its users, not the language itself. Interestingly, that's something thad e.g. the Python community seems to have way more success managing, although Python as a language checks almost all boxes that should - in theory - foster quick hacks...

The closest to this I found is Org Mode in Emacs. Pros and cons:

+ it's free
+ it's a flat, text format, human-readable and editable even outside Org Mode
+ has one of the best table editors ever
+ off-line first, no cloud bullshit
+ can handle source code and images pretty well
+ awesome export options - including LaTeX, HTML and nicely formatted UTF-8 plaintext
+ infinite flexibility of Emacs

- infinite flexibility of Emacs
- not Markdown (for those who care)
- you have to do sync yourself (I do with Dropbox)
- limited support for mobile (Orgzly is OK and works w/ Dropbox sync, but very limited
functionality compared to what Org Mode in Emacs provides)

Definitely not browser based but I've had good luck with Bees with Machine Guns[0] (Python EC2 load test swarm) for load testing. It's not as scriptable as a PhantomJS test, where you can have every actor follow their own script or anything like that, but it can sure generate a lot of requests a lot cheaper than some of the alternatives.

One thing we've done in the past is to generate a large background load with BWMG and then run a few PhantomJS/Selenium tests in a smaller test rig. It's a lot easier to get the load that way vs. trying to swarm Phantom or Selenium.

>> On a social note, it does feel as though (and I could be wrong) the seeming uptick in discussion about Christianity is because it is associated with the Trump/Republican/"How on earth did so many people vote for him?" question regarding US politics.

I kind of see this uptick more related to the liberal intellectuals' (rightful) consternation with the persecution of religious minorities that hasn't really stopped in modern times, as one would hope- for instance, with the treatment of Jewish people well into the 20th century and the rise of Islamophobia in recent days.

The article discusses the persecution of early Christians by Roman emperors before Constantine, so I thought it was more relevant to Trump's muslim ban. I don't see him as a Christian emperor that is, rather the opposite. He's definitely more Diocletian than Constantine.

Btw I'm a bit surprised at the article's statement that the persecution of Christians was not as big as we think these days. In the article itself, there's at least three distinct periods where Christians suffered severe consequences for their faith. That's not exactly something you brush off lightly, in my humble etc.
There are other uses for notes besides todo lists.

The ancient religions in the Levant were basically this. Each city-state had its own deity, and when you went to any city, you were expected to worship the local god.

This changed when the Babylonian empire overthrew the ancient kingdom of Israel, ended the promised 'Eternal dynasty' of king David after just a couple generations, and exiled the priests.

This led to the writing of the book of Job, from one side, and to the dissociation of the deity from the city, as the priests lost their homeland.

I see the current developments as a 'regression to the mean'.

Fibonacci is very common, just to see if the person knows what complexity is about, and to see if the person understands the tradeoff between readability / conciseness and complexity.

I don't think complex algorithms are that common in interview questions, especially the ones that are well known.

But, I personally like to ask this one, cause it came up in my day to day job, and is quite deep:

I somewhat agree, but a little inconvenience comes when you have to insert HTML that you got from somebody else, like from a design template or an ad or analytics code. Sure you can convert it by hand or with an editor extension but then you are just doing the same as JSX, or you can insert it as a string but then it becomes inconsistent.

Saving rough drafts and wireframes is quite common and necessary if you want well thought-out and executed pieces.

One way this could get solved is by a tech breakthough that dramatically reduces costs. Or accept the market doesn't always work efficiently and do something about it in the now.

The current way is to 'trust the market' and pray that eventually it will all work out is. Eventually we will all be dead.

In the real world there is regulatory capture, lobbying, collusion and agressive misinformation campaigns by orwellian named 'public interest groups'.

The plain fact is in certain markets heavy capital and regulatory costs make it nearly impossible for new entrants. And even a few brave new entrants who are heavily capitalized face eventual co-option into collusion with the status quo if successful. None of this is in the market or public interest.

This is not free markets but corporatocracy masquerading as free markets. The problem of monopolies, collusion and regulatory capture are conveniently ignored or hand waved away by economists when its the 'natural end state' for capital intensive industries and cannot simply be wished away or ignored. Concentration of economic power can not only undermine markets but create entrenched political and economic power structures.

We have to acknowledge a lot of 'economists' are often paid lobbyists to promote a particular 'view'. Municipal wifi and public interest inititiaves are the only solution for the now until proper measures can be found to manage these kind of markets.

PHP lacked the namespacing in the first place, which made the API messy and flat.

Look at python (or ruby)'s standard library, it's awesome, and of high quality (most of the time, see urllib/requests for a counterexample).
I also use my iPad for 'academic' reading. When an epub is available, I use that with Marvin (I wish it worked with pdfs!). And for pdf's I use GoodReader. I can highly recommend both!

And then we end up with industry that continuously rediscovers and rebrands shittier versions of solutions that were already created in the 70s.

The problem with BDUF is not that you can't predict things well in advance. Indeed, you can, as it has been done countless times in the past in our industry. The problem is, doing the Right Thing doesn't make you the first to market, doesn't make your solution the cheapest and the most virally spreading. Hence we end up building towers of shit instead.

1) Many, many people have no idea what an actual Christian is or what we believe.

I actually think it's more tolerant and consistent with reality to let each Christian define their own beliefs, and not to assume any single unifying belief.

Any attempt by me, to generalize about your beliefs, will be offensive to you. Straw man fallacy and all that. I won't have any means of knowing whether I'm right or wrong, without actually sharing in your beliefs. And if I agree to some set of beliefs, those might be offensive to the next Christian whom I talk to. And so forth.

Likewise, why would you agree to a description of your religion that casts it in a negative light?

All I really care about is how people treat one another. I have kind of a simple checklist for religions: How do they treat women? How do they deal with reproduction and sexuality? How do they deal with science? How do they treat doubters and non-believers?

> The Christian God is not a 'bearded buy in the sky' (even though he is often presented as such). He's 'unknowable' and completely transcends our understanding. 'I am that I am'. This is not like the Greek gods who all have very tangible attributes and are mostly interested in human like things

'I am that I am' was said by Jesus who ate, defecated and did everything else like any other human being, and he is considered being the God by Christians, so he's very much like the Greek gods walking around the Earth all the time, eating with humans. Read the Odyssey.

Even more so, the act of Jesus' mother being impregnated by the God is something that Zeus did in many many occasions (producing god-children with the human mothers) and was retold for centuries before Christ exactly in the areas where the Christian myths started to spread. The impregnation story is obviously an one-upmanship one (well my God is a son of God too!) and not present in the earliest Gospel.

Once that simple one-upmanship trick got to be popular, there was a need to explain the logic of God producing a child who's still himself while not directly being involved in the sex act (which would be too dirty for the God), and the Trinity was invented: the God is at the same time the father, the son and the holy ghost, the third one, the most 'transcendental' one, the only one being involved in the sex act.

Learning about the ancient Greek gods helps making sense of a lot of weird Jewish and Christian stories. Also learning about the Mesopotamian and Egyptian gods and stories.

At the launch of G+ I tested a way to assign search terms that people used to get to my page to G+ users - if they clicked on an +1 G+ button (which had some nifty callbacks then). Kinda worked. I could assign the search term to a set of users which I narrowed down with manual review.

Think Google must have been aware of the issue of intermingling Search with Social as a pretty short time later they scrapped the search query referers from (organic) Google Search.

Note: It was just a proof of concept to see if I could. Also: Nobody used G+ anyway.
