I was typing quickly from memory. With The TeXBook, on page 411 he has a concert program; on page 248 he has a genealogy chart; on page 247 he has some nicely formatted stock tables;
on pages 233, 236-7 he has some recipe stuff from Julia Child.

So, instead of a menu, I found a
concert program and some recipes.
Maybe there is a menu in there
someplace.

He also has an addressed envelope where he used his Metafont in some tricky way to get something like a stamp. He might also be able to get from TeX with Metafont the whatever they are called little boxes of geometric gibberish used as identifiers.

I did some TeX macros for foils -- I get a nice box around each foil. Some more macros I did let me do a simple drawing in, say, old Microsoft Photodraw, include it in a picture in a TeX document, and then position TeX math as annotation overlays on the drawing. So, I can, say, draw a right triangle and put the standard Pythagorean theorem annotation on the figure. Can put darned nearly any TeX expression as annotation. TeX is nice and for math nearly essential.
Actually I worked in a gambling company as a software engineer before so I understand pretty well how they think.

Almost all gamblers know that the odds are not in their favour and yet they keep playing because they think they're special.
SQL in some cases comes close enough, for example:

SELECT sqrt(2) INTO square_root

SELECT round(sqrt::NUMERIC, 2) FROM square_root

An SQL console is a REPL environment that allows for interaction with previous results. So, apart from the natural language interface I think that's pretty much what you're describing (and if required that natural language interface could be added using something like Siri or wit.ai)

We use Monolog (PHP library) that is able to post to Slack.

Messages in Monolog, like syslog have a level attached, so DEBUG, INFO, NOTICE and WARNING will only be written to a log file on disk. Anything higher, so ERROR, CRITICAL, ALERT or EMERGENCY will write to Slack (as well as log to disk). This means we only get notified of things failing and we can go on the server and see everything from DEBUG upwards which lets us mentally step through the cron job's run.

It's a very cool library. https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog

You can see the handlers here: https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog/tree/master/src/Monolog/H... which includes Slack, HipChat, IFTTT, Pushover, etc...
Comments are not being deleted on r/bitcoin for expressing views, discussing ideas or debating proposals.

Comments that promote the use of alternative clients that attempt to alter the bitcoin protocol rules prior to building consensus around the proposal, however, are. An hardfork protocol change that does not have significant support from the community is basically an altcoin that starts from the current UTXO set, and so is considered off-topic for r/bitcoin.

Would you say that the r/bitcoin moderators removing posts about ethereum as being off-topic also engage in "censorship"?
FWIW here's my attempt, largely written after the appellate court made their ruling: http://www.zerobugsandprogramfaster.net/essays/x-1.html

In their ruling, the appellate court said that Oracle would likely win the fair use argument. Of course, that can change.

The draw imo is the following: you try to find e.g. a tortilla at 'average big chain supermarket' without any hydrogenated oils, and it's going to take 20 minutes of reading ingredients, and even then maybe there just aren't any. At Trader Joe- the standard tortilla (i.e. the trader joe brand tortilla) is made of basically the same ingredients you would use if you made it at home, and the price is reasonable. Whole foods is like a version of that, but rather than having everything be 'whole foods' brand, it's a bunch of fancy hipster brands. Sprouts is like that but with a very large selection of fruits and vegetables of usually higher quality than you can find at your standard grocery.

>"So SQL Server is not good at SQL."

That's not what was implied. SQL functions are snippets of SQL you wrap in a function to use in a larger query. The issue being suggested is that SQL Server will go into single-threaded execution when SQL functions are used.

However, you can use stored procedures for the same purpose as functions without incurring the same performance penalty, so the advice was a warning about a specific SQL Server feature rather than the platform as a whole.

I don't get your point. Cats also don't refer to themselves as cats, and yet they're still cats. They're cats even if there's no one around to call them cats.

Also, this:

> the mentally ill only wind up labelling themselves as that after years of pressure into conforming to that label by those around them

is not true. For example, a chronic depressive is perfectly capable of seeing that something is wrong with them, because their illness doesn't impair their cognition.

> But the problem is, if you've just spent 40 years paying a mortgage (which I assure you is probably a non-insignificant amount of your lifetime income in aggregate), you would expect to be able to recoup at least some of that expense, no?

It's not just that. Imagine that you've just taken out a 40 year $500,000 mortgage. How happy are you going to be if next year your house is now worth $250,000 but you still owe $490,000 on it?

As far as I can tell the best solution to this is to expand the housing stock in the presence of moderate inflation, so that nominal housing prices stay the same while real housing prices fall.

The US has a huge debt problem in general and moderate inflation helps with that too -- if the government creates new money it's that much less they have to borrow or tax and it reduces the real value of the national debt and everyone's mortgage, student loans, etc.

You could also check for evidence a run has been successful, although that does depend on what you're doing exactly.

For our backup system, we're going to build an audit cron job on our main server that checks all our Azure containers to see if each server has pushed a file lately. It'll alert us if a file hasn't been uploaded in a few days or if it's smaller than a few MB (which is suspiciously small; we'd expect a few hundred MB for mysqldump+files).

I hope that Apple would allow developers submit more freely apps. Taking down every app that have adult content or app that apple feels are competition with their own products is very low from Apple.

Why people would like to be in these ghettos, where development is so so restricted?

Going out from store is the best way.
I completely agree with that point, and make the same recommendations to people around me for the exact same reason.

However, you could very well imagine apple creating a sort of "third party app store guidelines" that would make it compulsory for third party app store to check apps for security violations prior to publishing an app.

Apple would then move one layer up. Instead of directly enforcing and distributing apps, it would enforce store basic rules, and leave some rules to others. Pretty much like what you'd do if you were to create a franchise.

There are intermediate grounds between "we control everything, and are the only one allowed to push apps" to "we allow everyone to install anything they want".

The idea is just to open this part of the market (app distribution) to competition.
I've been their loyal customer to the extent that I would try to book hotels not too far from one of their stores when going on extended business trips, say 1 week+. Because I tend to shop for the same items I also noticed that prices have gone up substantially, sometimes 3-4 times over the last 10 years, e.g. specialty teas. This is contrary to what's discussed in the article (prices falling).
DIAs are quite heavily inspired by RDDs. A lot of the performance increases come from the C++ compiler's ability to fuse local operations etc.

I can tell you what the lawyers for Oracle claim. I'm not going to do the research to see if their claims are true, though, you'll have to do that.

1) Oracle claims that they had contracts for a lot of "Java in TV" (presumably J2ME) with manufacturers, who later switched to Android.

2) Oracle claims that they had contracts with auto companies for Java in cars, dashboards and such, and those later switched to Android.

3) Oracle claims that Amazon got a discount on Java in the Kindle due to pressure from Android.

4) Oracle claims that they lost and * and as customers. I don't know who those customers are, they were redacted in the appeal.

5) Oracle claims that J2ME (they don't say J2ME specifically) was in ~80% of phones before Android, and Android took that marketshare.

6) Oracle claims hypothetical damages from being prevented from entering the market, because copyright law allows you to claim hypothetical damages.

Those are the Oracle claims.
> This whole stink started because some guy who happened to have a ton of BTC was upset that people running full nodes didn't get a cut of any of the transaction fees.

What? Who?

> Today, the main company that is pushing the Segwit / small block agenda hopes to push everyone to their off chain lightening network where they can collect the fees instead of the miners.

Lightning is open-source and was invented by Lighting Labs, a company that has nothing to do with Blockstream. Blockstream are merely working on one out of 6 Lightning implementations that exists in the market.

Also, Lightning is designed for peer-to-peer routing (and not a hub-and-spoke topology) and it is expected that everyone with some spare bitcoins would run lightning nodes to collect fees, so there should be plenty competition.

Finally, Bitcoin Core is an open-source community composed of tens of developers from all over the world and from different associations, plus hundreds of testers, reviewers and other contributors. Nearly all of them support SegWit very strongly, not only the ones associated with Blockstream.

This has nothing to do with the separation of the Messenger app from the core Facebook app. When messaging was packaged as part of the core Facebook app, the functionality was the same. There is nothing Facebook can do with two separate apps that they couldn't have done with a single app. You can't tell me that "Facebook Messenger spies", but that "combined Facebook and Facebook Messenger apps wouldn't spy".

And to be clear, "spying" simply means granting the app those privileges. You could complain about Apple's or Android's approaches to approving individual privileges, but it's not like Facebook is doing anything super illegitimate that users haven't had to permit - even if the reason for granting those privileges isn't fully disclosed.

Thanks! And I think you're absolutely right, people got a bit tired of all this unicorn nonsense.
That depends on the season though, in summer almost everything seems to come from austrian farms.

we don't have us style industrial agriculture in austria. our fields are tiny compared to the US (avg farm size is 40 acres; and we really don't have those superfarms [2000+ acres] that seem to be common in the US). same goes for livestock, a farmer doesn't have anywhere near the same number of say kettle on his/her farm.
I'm pretty sure that prior to the USDA stepping in, "organic" had no regulatory definition and could be used pretty willy-nilly.

Now it has a definition, but I guess I am a contrarian. I find the organic industry to be pretty much a scam. It promised healthier, better tasting food. You can find studies showing that, but if you look at the totality of the literature, you find out that it isn't inherently either of those things. It is basically the naturalistic fallacy applied to the food industry on a wide-scale.

Besides, it didn't use physical ROMs, but ROM files copied off a real Mac. Today we would probably call that Amiga

>"The controversy about systemd is that while it has some good ideas, it presents itself as being the only modern init system, when that isn't actually true."

Nope, as I said before the controversy is about its invasiveness. Read almost any article criticising systemd and you'll find people expressing something along the lines of 'what started as an init system has grown massively into something that resembles its own layer of the OS design'.
With chronic depressives believing "something is wrong with them", why do you think they believe so? Because they are innately aware of that fact, or is it nothing more than a conditioned response? There is a __MASSIVE__ difference between "I know I'm not normal" and "Others say I'm not normal, ergo I must not be normal".

As for your analogy regarding cats... give me a break. Cats see you solely as a giver of food and oft unwanted affection. That doesn't mean that's all you are. Or... maybe that's exactly all you are, a dumb moving object whose only purpose is to dispense food. Perspective is everything.
Now suppose that the problem is not so straight forward as in finding the square root. Declarative programming in the general case would allow one to specify to a robot that it should walk to a certain location and arrive at a certain time. It knows (or can figure out) how to avoid crashing into things and also about not breaking laws and such. It can decide what time to leave the starting point but you don't have to tell it all the steps that will be involved. It is really about constraint satisfaction. Your program might look like this: "meetAt(workPlace , 5:00AM)". It is a well defined problem that clearly has right and wrong outcomes but the constraints are given, not a specific algorithm for the solution. Prolog is one example of a language that automatically solves declarative constraints but the syntax is bad.
This is not censorship, is responsability. There is not a constitutional right to stealth and harass women and ruin their lives, or to emit sinister death menaces publicy while you hide under a mask. Try to cry loud in a street that you will cut the throat of somebody in the fair name of free speech and you'll end exactly in the same place.

If you let someone to borrow your living-room for making a bomb, you are a cooperator. If you let someone to use your address to send letters with death menaces or to spread a racist message, you are a necessary cooperator. Is as simple like that. Twitter was repeatedly informed by the victims and it seems that they did nothing for months. Twitter is guilty here also.

Filtering all messages directed to one single twitter account after the harassment started (and the victim asked for it) should be technically trivial. They can implement a "panic button" in a day.

It seems that everybody can implement or had implemented yet such simple filter. Is twitter dumber than other companies in this sense? I seriously doubt it.

If slavery was one of many factors for secession, why weren't any of those other factors mentioned in the ordinances of secession? Why were all of the seceding states slave states? Of the states who didn't mention a reason for secession in their ordinances of secession, all their governors made statements explicitly naming slavery as the reason (see previous link).

> Slavery wasn't even under threat if states had just hung around.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act threatened to tip the balance of slave states vs. free states, and Lincoln's and the Republican Party's platform of not allowing the creation of any new slave states effectively put an expiration date on slavery in the US. That is why the ordinances of secession mentioned the threat against slavery. Lincoln only stated that he wouldn't directly abolish slavery because the slave states had already threatened to secede if he were elected, citing the belief that he would.

There is no debate among professional historians about the cause of the slave states' secession. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/military-jan-june11-civilwar_...

There are things we just don't sense. Obviously they weren't significant in our evolutionary history but they could be of use to us in the modern age, or to our successors. As you mention, giving up existing sensors doesn't make much sense so it would have to be extra sensors.

An electromagnetic sense could be so much richer than a compass direction. Wonderful to sense the actions of machines and electrical systems around us, and have a boost to navigation. Furthermore ideally I think we'd need to upgrade our internal systems to have a better intuitive understanding of frequency-domain phenomena at high (megahertz) frequencies.

Ionising radiation is scary partly because you just can't sense it. Internal scintillation crystals + additional optical tissue based on our current design = a whole new sense. Obviously with a little redundancy and care of placement you could get alpha, beta, gamma and an energy spectrum. Useful for spacefarers, perhaps.

Interfaces to technological devices would be nice to have. Perhaps you wouldn't call it a sense but in a way it's so much more. Wouldn't want to be stuck with an obsolete protocol in my brain implant chip, though - the format wars would be intense.
> Prolog is one example of a language that automatically solves declarative constraints but the syntax is bad.

That's why I mentioned SQL. Both SQL and Prolog are declarative languages but SQL has a much more approachable syntax. In SQL constraints can be expressed using WHERE and ON clauses. For your more complex robot example this would require some work but it's certainly possible.
