> Like how it is generally illegal to record phone calls without notifying everyone that a recording will be made. You may hear with your ears the content of the phone call but that doesn't mean you should be able to record it secretly.

It actually depends on what state you live in. Search for "one-party vs two-party consent states".

Only 11 states (including California) require both parties in a conversation to consent. Federal law and the remaining majority of states do not.

To be fair, Canada doesn't have the rosiest history in regards to immigration. My point being, if they can change, so can we.

I'm really anxious for Julia to start taking packaging more seriously. Pkg2 situation is pretty terrible imo, and the pkg3 whispers just sort of strike me as offputting, since there's basically no timeline of when they'll make it to a stable 0.x release and the 1.0 is just a "when it's ready" situation.

Julia is one the most pleasant programming experiences I've had otherwise. It's the Lua I've always wanted, with just the right mix of Scheme, but not too much that it tastes Haskell-y.

But yeah, current packaging situation is awful.

Oh, that reminds me though, Julia has a lot of really incredible packages already. It's mindblowing how quick Julia went from "new technical computing language" to "general purpose, performant language with a ton of useful packages readily available and they actually work"

Leveraging the technical computing open source community turns out to work really well!
So maybe we never were. But we could be. IMO, Canada is setting a great and kind example here (humane treatment of incoming refugees and a 24 hour turnaround of detained individuals/families).

It should be us doing this at the Mexican border. Instead we're building a wall...

Unimodality is only one of the requirements. The other being that the space of political parties is somehow 1-dimensional (probably to avoid people being split between 3 or more parties which are all different from each other).
Your private keys have limited attack surface, especially if they're in cold storage.

However, your banking account has unlimited attack surface. It's on some remote information system that you do not control and never will.
As I already said, I'm not a big believer in "legal recourse", it's as well to be used to take money from you as to return them back.
Is anyone else concerned that despite being an open-source project with permissive licensing, the formation of the Julia Computing group has made Julia's development a bit of a walled garden? I don't mean this in the sense that Apple or Matlab are "walled gardens", but the for-profit company, of which many core developers are founders/employees, develops a number of tools and services that are not open-source AFAIK.

I believe the group also implicitly controls what packages are allowed/disallowed from the packages list. At the same time, I also recognize the need to support the core developers and the business model makes a lot of sense. Thoughts?

Your ideas are possibly better just because you already have a chance of building them if they're that close to existing analog schemes. I'd try them first to get a feel for the whole thing.

Far as reprogrammable, type in what I told you into Google: Field-Programmable, Analog Arrays (FPAA's). Or reconfigurable analog. You'll get companies and CompSci. Also remember that analog works best/easiest on oldest process nodes. That combined with multi-project wafers can get your ASIC prototypes down to thousands of dollars rather than tens to hundreds. Middle ground company is a structured ASIC that's basically like a FPGA programmed with 1-2 masks at fab time. Triad Sdmiconductor does that for digital+analog with claimed $400k per design with few weeks turn around. Idk if their analog cells are suitable, though.

Also, for good measure you might enjoy at least looking at the last general-purpose (programmable), analog computer:

In the school I attended (not Ivy League, but the respected leader regionally for SE) students graduated without knowing how to use Git in the command line; only git in the context of Eclipse. Building a Flask app would have been a pipe dream. I think what Harvard is doing is truly great teaching students real world applications, workflows, and best practices right from the intro class!

You are comparing Emacs with Notepad++. You are then not using Emacs as it's supposed to be.

I think it's because it's difficult for even programmers to deeply grasp the slippery nature of the small scale abstractions we use in software projects. This is why design patterns are so easily misused. It's tricky stuff.

The large scale, society-level abstractions and shared fictions, such as money, are a whole different beast.
At some point, of course, yes. The rubber must meet the road.

The problem is that most marketers/advertisers can't meaningfully quantify the value of their brand spend. There's a joke in the advertising space: half of my marketing spend is useful and half isn't. I just don't know which half.
I was honestly debating with myself whether this merited a response; but seeing it rise in points, I'll voice some thoughts to try and offer some "context" to the story above: (I'll admit this is focused on the earlier bits of the article, as I'm not versed in more recent chan-lore)

From my memory, this is ~60% fact wrapped in quite a but of "literary privilege" and strangely pervasive insecure-seeming ad-hominems. Many statements are canonically untrue (citing hacker imitation of anon starting in 2011, I remember on "real radio news" entire discussions about anon hackers being imitations as early as 2006~; saying that mememing originated on 4chan without any mention of ytmnd or any of the other sites that made up the early core of the meme-world; and perhaps I burnt out too early at 2/3rds of the way through the article but it seemed that the author painted the entirety of all the chans as just being /b?) and many other statements assert some sort of clear motivation/monolithic mindset. e.g. "supporting ron paul"; that's true insofar as football players support oddly shaped balls, it's a means to an end. (the end being even mixtures of "lulz"/memeing-post-critical-mass/taking the opposition\underdog position/etc. etc.)

I'd also like to call out the constant assertions that the 4channers were all some sort of shut-in-social-reject; I realize citing chanology (anti scientology protests) is a bit of a self-selector by the populations who could go in person, but as a metric for crowd composition: the sort the author paints with a broad brush were a minority to socially active (if fringe/alternative) highschoolers and a significant number of college students. The backhanded comment that it was merely a way to fill time is one of the more accurate bits, but in a way counter to many of the author's other points and likely not how he intended it as a pejorative: It was not out of some lack of "better things to do" or social rejection, but out of it being an absolutely unique and "rebelliously fun" thing to do. To assign more complex motive than that I think misses the mark for many anon I knew way back when.

The history of 4chan is a fascinating one and I'd love to see an objective enumeration, but I don't think this hits the mark for me, it feels like it was written very much by someone "looking in" on something they weren't quite fond of enough to really contemplate with eyes open.
Every incremental linking technique I'm aware of involves overwriting the output file and does not guarantee that identical input files and command line lead to identical (bit-exact) output files.

Incremental linking is not so easy under that constraint, since the output depends on the previous output file (which may not even be there).

(and considering the previous output file to be an "input file" follows the letter of the requirement but not the spirit; the idea is that the program invocation is a "pure function" of the inputs, which enables caching and eliminates a source of unpredictable behavior)

We have had to reject certain parallelization strategies in LLD as well because even though the result would always be a semantically identical executable, it would not be bit-identical.
See e.g. the discussions surrounding parallel string merging:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D27146 <-- fastest technique, but non-deterministic output
https://reviews.llvm.org/D27152 <-- slower but deterministic technique
https://reviews.llvm.org/D27155 <-- really cool technique that relies on a linearly probed hash table (and sorting just runs of full buckets instead of the entire array) to guarantee deterministic output despite concurrent hash table insertion.

> Here's a rather strange example (note that in this video an officer does incorrectly assert that my video recording him is against the law - when I calmly correct him and move on, he doesn't say another word about it):

> https://vimeo.com/2230232

I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but after watching the video, I wanted to let you know that you definitely do sound like a smart aleck when talking to officers (e.g. "well, we both know that in the real world there is such a thing"... or, "well, fundamentally, I...")... maybe you weren't "disrespectful" in your choice of words, but I can't say the same about your tone and approach. It seems like you're willing to give officers as hard a time as possible just because it's not outright illegal. Don't expect a nice reaction when you do that. They had quite a bit of patience with you and you saturated it.
CMU had me arrested and held in jail for a week though I had paid my bail because I complained too much about not being able to find an job opportunities with a CS degree. Everyone just says to go to the career center. Career center says they have nothing for me. Couldn't find anyone in the entire University who would act reasonably to anything that didn't benefit them directly.
I wouldn't read too much into the number. Their department claims that Math 55, for example, is the hardest undergraduate math class in the country and I believe them.
Princeton researchers used the same flawed methodology: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jan/22/facebook-...

I've seen a few schools now incorporating Git into their curriculum and had the chance to speak with a few professors doing so. It came down to local companies complaining that new CS grads didn't have the prerequisite skill sets to work for them, namely Git but also web application development, testing skills, etc.

It's an interesting nexus of "should a degree give you job skills", and it seems to have won out. Personally I predict the tens of thousands of CS majors getting pumped out every year will inevitably saturate the market at some point.
Sounds very similar to some of the most chilling stories from South Africa during Apartheid: political prisoners whose corpses were photographed and clearly beaten to a pulp with the official cause of death listed as, "fell against chair."
What's important to note here is that in each case there was a large influx of people from a different culture who congregated in areas (think Chinatown) and took time to fully integrate into the current society. It is NORMAL for people to be apprehensive about new people from different areas who move into an area and change how things were (how the years liked it). I think it's important to be mindful of this, and not immediately start with calling those people racists, or idiots, or whatever, and recognize that a successful immigration policy must at its foundation be a slow, smooth influx, and not a shock to they system.

Any idea why they would describe the code error as "a single additional character in code"? It looks like about 10 characters or so based on your link. There are also some other code changes associated with that commit
It's great that industry standards like Git are taught. I wish introductory computer science at my school included coding, never underestimate the power of piquing a student's interest. Many more of my classmates might be interesting in coding if our CS101 was done right.
An interesting point when using Op-Amps: doing linear operations (addition/subtraction/multiplication by a scalar/integration/etc) is pretty easy (they are "linear devices").

Doing multiplication/division/exponentiation/etc is actually a little more difficult. Typically, they are done through log amplifiers[0], of which there are plenty of monolithic versions.

Yeah that's about it. T was interesting too. I discovered it looking for PreScheme stuff actually. Jonathan Rees was involved in both with pg writing a T essay. So Google led me to it. The info on it looks to scattered for me to study easily like I did with PreScheme's all in one place stuff.

I though about a new incarnation of PreScheme. One would add memory safety like Rust's borrow checker. Carp LISP is already doing that. Another was to embed a version of C in it amenable to static analysis and KLEE-like tools with actual coding in Scheme with macros. Last was reviving VLISP using Magnus Myreen's LISP 1.5 or CakeML tools to verify it from LISP form to machine code. Then we'd have a semi-verified Scheme48 where you just trust the high-level code essentially.

>The atheist Hitchens wrote several hit pieces on the religious Teresa due to her views on abortion, suffering, women's rights, and more.

Actually, the piece he wrote was about how she would deny medicine to those who needed it, and reused needles between patients, along with putting down 'modern' equipment and anything non-religious. All while she received millions in funding she did not invest into her 'homes'. The 'houses' poor people went to where she said she would take care of them, were actually houses of death for them, even if it was treatable.

45 years of service means nothing, if your 45 years of service includes purposefully making people suffer and denying them of care they need, while making money for yourself and trying to look like a saint.

I didn't mean to paint with a wide brush, so to speak.

I know police as a whole are not evil. I've been let off the hook by police quite a few times, had an officer give me a ride home when I was stranded after walking several miles as a teenager, etc.

Police retaliation happens, though. Corruption exists, etc. It's not a huge stretch to imagine local police retaliating against someone who whips out a cell phone.

Even if the courts won't convict that person of a crime, police can very much exact revenge just by paying more attention to you than they might have otherwise.

Stopping you without cause, searching you without cause, detaining you without reason. There are plenty of ways I could imagine retaliating against a citizen if I was corrupted/otherwise morally compromised, empowered as a police officer, and had a grudge.

tl;dr: I'm not casting all cops as evil, I'm stupid, but not that stupid.

I'm only speculating that this court decision might not stop an officer with a grudge from retaliating against a civilian.

It's perfectly logical, and wasn't intended as a generalization against police. I'm not a cop-hater.

> officials with the CBSA say that if they determine that she isn't a danger of a flight risk, the agency will release her and her baby. It's then up to a tribunal to evaluate her candidacy for refugee status.

I don't specifically know about Canada but in general the refugee application takes some time. They have to be assessed if they are genuine refugees (like leaving war or political/personal persecution) and either be given status (admitted) or deported.
As I said in a different reply, I think nondeterminism is an acceptable sacrifice for development builds, which is where incremental linking would be most useful. That said, it's definitely possible to get some speedup from incrementality while keeping the output deterministic; you'd have to move symbols around, which of course requires relocating everything that points to them, but (with the help of a cache file that stores where the relocations ended up in the output binary) this could probably be performed significantly more quickly than re-reading all the .o files and doing name lookups. But admittedly this would significantly reduce the benefit.

False. Gross Driver Payout in most US cities is ~45% (Leaked financials)

This is mainly because:

- the booking fee goes 100% to Uber, which can be another 25% on short trips

- UberPool arbitrates rider fares and driver are paid the lower of (75% of per mile, per min, OR 75% of rider quoted fares). This accounting hack, on average, increases Uber's take to 35%

- Upfront Fares is weighed to give Uber, on average, an extra 5% to compensate for "variance".

Fields v. City of Philadelphia:

"We have not found, and the experienced counsel have not cited, any case in the Supreme Court or this Circuit finding citizens have a First Amendment right to record police conduct without any stated purpose of being critical of the government. Absent any authority from the Supreme Court or our Court of Appeals, we decline to create a new First Amendment right for citizens to photograph officers when they have no expressive purpose such as challenging police actions."

You act like none of this had any effect but you forget that once upon a time if you wanted to buy a song, you were forced to either purchase a CD with a lot of other songs you didn't want, or you could maybe pick up a 45rpm single record, or you could make a tape of the song off the radio. This technology has led us to being able to buy pretty much any song we want for $2 or so and it also completely gutted the music industry to the point where barely any new bands exist in the mainstream anymore. Technology is a double-edged sword.

We seem to be sitting in a lull between great new innovations. But don't worry, that lull isn't going to last much longer.

I agree that Facebook doesn’t socially engineer users as much as it could, but I think this is more a testament to its immense power than its kind intentions. Facebook is no stranger to unethical behaviors—its actions only seem ethical in comparison to what is possible with that amount of power. Remember a couple years ago when Facebook published a blatantly unethical psychological experiment that manipulated the emotions of unconsenting, unaware users? Zuckerberg didn’t think of it as a shady A/B test to keep private within the company, he allowed it to be published in PNAS.

Let’s not forget, Facebook isn’t exactly being exploited by shady actors like Cambridge Analytica—it's profiting from them.
