Wow. I'm really trying to understand this house price. I just can't imagine who would think 1.3 million is a reasonable price for this house? I mean that's like a $10,000 mortgage. That's the same amount of money as a $333/night hotel room. A quick search of the area reveals $100/night hotels--typical across the country. So... how is this market priced housing? I mean I could have housekeeping and free breakfast every morning plus two or three 'bedrooms and bathrooms' in a secure, maintained property for the same price as this house. Sure, I am not building home equity... but I'm assuming a house rented in this area would not be a lot cheaper than that.

So your choices are rent or live in a hotel if you don't want to buy a home this expensive?

I would be making some tough choices if I had to move out there.
It could be that... or the crushing economic sanctions and the low price of oil.

I wonder which might have a higher economic impact?

I also don't know if I would consider C/C++ or Python or the others success stories. They all have an ecosystem around them that allows for developers to be funded doing work on these projects, but only because of other products that are out there. Other products produce money, and are making enough to allow some companies and individuals to fund core technology improvements. That's different and a harder model to work with, because it requires massive scale to be effective.

> and this gets laggy on bigger resolutions or on older devices or devices without dedicated GPU

I have the original 2012 rMBP, which by all accounts has far too wimpy a GPU for retina, and I've been running it in the max scaled resolution (the 1900x1200@2x mode) since the day I bought it.

On first few versions of OS X after it was released, yes, the graphics often got very choppy (especially stuff like Expose), but Apple has really optimized the hell out of those drivers, and by now on Sierra, I never run into any noticeable 2D graphic lag. I'm sure it's terrible for 3D though.
You, and others, might also find 'vimv' to be very useful ... it's not a file manager as you think of one, but it's very powerful.

This isn't very compelling or even really coherent:

1. Obama and Clinton disagreed on Russia, with Clinton being the more hawkish of the two, but maybe they don't anymore.

2. It would be bad if there was another Cold War.

3. It's likely we interfere in their politics too.

4. The authors are unsatisfied with the evidence behind the DNC hack Russia attribution.

5. Russia is a distraction from other problems.

Even if you accept all the authors premises, what does this add up to?

Hmm this is the down side of using a dynamic typed array class. While the functions to handle the type checking of the host pointers can be done in C++, it would not be so easy to implement it in the C layer.

And since it looks like you are using the C++ api anyway, can you open an issue on github so this will be looked at?

My only qualm with recommending iPhone only is it doesn't take into account other countries where it's unaffordable for a journalist to own one. I know a group of journalists in Venezuela for whom an iPhone is simply far too expensive. Import controls in many countries make it this way. I know another group in another country where the exchange rate and low wages make even a $50/year VPN is unaffordable.

Would be great to see some good guides that take into account the challenges that others outside of the states will face. Perhaps these guides may not have that audience in mind though.

The problem with that argument is that status isn't determined by the person seeking it, it's determined by those deciding whether to mate with the status seeker. That's where our hardwired impulses toward status seeking derive from...our need to perpetuate the species.

That doesn't mean that it's necessarily zero sum, but it means we're not completely in control of framing it the way that you and the article are suggesting. But you are right that there are different dimensions of status because different people value different characteristics. Some people are attracted to strong men that can lift 300 pounds and others prefer the refinement of a knowledge of classical music. But if you choose to define your status to far from the societal norms, you won't find others that agree with that framing and you'll be isolated out of the gene pool.

This is somewhat of an oversimplification and we use status for more than just mate selection, but our dimensions for status seeking are still based on how we want to attract sexual partners.

>far more productive now than I was on OSX

Really? In what ways?

This is interesting to me, because the main reason I'm a mac zealot (for all but le screengames) is because it's mostly indistinguishable from working on a linux box, without any of the negative aspects of running linux on a workstation. Any time I try to do work on my Windows machine it feels very handicapped. WSL helps, but it's still one more layer of abstraction.

SSH keys/git always feel like a hassle on Windows, rsync was slow as fuck for me on WSL (but works fine in Cygwin), any kind of scripted behavior is a hassle. Package management outside of WSL is pretty annoying, choco is okay, but nothing compared to brew/apt.

At best I could see myself being equally productive on Windows, but not without significant effort.

That both sides engage in jingoism?

(The article in New Yorker is a tiring and annoying read. I may not always like Greenwald's rhetoric but in this case, he correctly highlights the lack of evidence. In an age of rumours and unfounded - but indeed plausible - accusations, the referenced piece seemingly lacks sense of irony.)
> a PRISM member

To avoid confusion for any readers, you should clarify what this means: Apple has an automated process for serving data in response to any approved FISA court orders from the FBI.
> On the other hand, it is non-trivial to work with more advanced concepts and workflows/algorithms in a way that allows me enough control over my data to get the performance I want when dealing with nesting or other nuanced execution patterns. As a trivial example, it would be not having more control over how Scan works. ArrayFire is unfortunately not unique in the very limited amount of support for scan operations that will be executed in parallel. I have worked around this, but it's not ideal.

Can you give me an example ? If you think this is not the forum to discuss this, you can always email me (check my profile) or ping me on gitter (https://gitter.im/arrayfire/arrayfire.

> Additionally, the rank limitation of 4 in ArrayFire is infuriating. Given that we're working with C++, it seems like there should be no reason that I should be able to have arbitrarily many dimensions.

I want to solve this as well, but it requires a lot of tedious work so it keeps getting postponed. But rest assured this will be fixed!

> So, if I had my way, ArrayFire would be less user friendly to the scientists (that's why Co-dfns is here! ;-) ) and more friendly as an IR for implementing APL runtimes. :-)

ArrayFire development has been request driven. So the features requested / used a lot got implemented first. But I don't see why the features you requested can not be implemented in arrayfire!
They don't really say how large the market might be. Or if there are patents that would block a startup.

I'd be willing to bet that you could find or train people in Detroit right now to build these CRT's. All you'd need are a couple of people to train them for a few months.

They said the same thing about vinyl records, soon the industry would die. Detroit has become a hub for pressing records and as old machines become scarce they're now supporting a company making new machines.

> as we argued about the same topic yesterday

I replied to one of your comments in a topic that was not [1] and not even obviously related. Additionally there was no argument as you did not reply. So I'm thoroughly confused by your implied context.

I'm a wishy-washy formalist and know some things about Boltzmann Brains as a theoretical diagnostic on de Sitter universes with slow-rolling inflationary fields, so I'm OK with your last two italicized paragraphs ("This is why I asked..." and "If we added a..."), but completely disagree with your subsequent non-italicized text.

In particular, geometry is a feature of nature. The Earth is round to a close approximation, and that is an observer-independent fact, not a convention.

> Does that mean that grains of sand include most of mathematics?

Of course not, but grains of sand include atoms and subatomic particles and those have features that are the same in non-sand substances in the various parts of the the solar system we have directly explored. We can describe those features in whatever language we want; but names, like sets of coordinates, are not features of nature.

Indeed, in the past century we've gotten much better at distinguishing between features which are observer-dependent (even if not obviously so) and features which are not.

In your sand argument, the pile of sand has some observer-independent features and some which are not. The number of the grains of sand in the pile is an observer-independent quantity, even if nobody actually counts them.

Formal models may be incorrect, but physical (as in not unphysical) ones attempt to describe real observer-independent features of nature. I don't think there are many physicists who, arriving at a novel prediction of a formal mode, would do anything other than "trust (or mistrust) but verify"; even the craziest model-building theoreticians I can think of are hungry for contact with nature via controlled experiment.
Yeah, we had a pre-tests for algebra & trig but I read the textbook before the class started and got 100% on the pre-tests, so they skipped me ahead. In retrospect I regret it.

I encountered the same problem with restarts you did, though I only had 4 in ~8 months. They gave no advanced warning and simply notified that my instance had been restarted which was extremely unprofessional to me.
I think I agree with you, but it's worth playing the devil's advocate to understand this view more.

How do we know these vacant units are net-negative in societal impact? They take up space and are mostly unused, which is a societal drain. But, the owners pay taxes and use few local resources, which seems like a societal gain.

We could play with the numbers so that they're obviously a societal drain, just assume they've found a way to pay $1 in taxes after creative accounting. We could also assume the opposite, that they're paying for the education and transportation for dozens of city dwellers. So how do we quantify and balance the costs and benefits?

> For database state, use a migration system and make sure each change you make can be reversed (and make sure that's tested!)

Isn't this debunked clearly in the article? If you add a new feature / column and users begin using it (adding data, making transactions) rolling back is a catastrophic data loss. Sure, the code and database schema will go back to a consistent state, but the data never can.

That's what the is pointing out - that deployed applications + data are a state machine without cycles - i.e., even if you 'rollback', it's akin to adding a revert commit on top of your existing state. The arrow of state, as with time, only moves forward.
Do you think the patent and copyright system is well run? As for theft, that is the justice system, and is not economic management.
I was running one of my projects on Vultr for a while and didn't appreciate the random restarts with no warning. Ended up using DO for my next project. I hope that DO reduces their prices, right now they're getting destroyed by Vultr and Linode.
It sounds like you haven't actually read Stoic philosophy. The central theme of the Stoics is that how you react to your situation and surroundings is entirely up to you. When someone spills coffee on you at Starbucks (or whatever), they aren't the ones making you mad. If you think Stoics are outdated, go read what Stockdale has to say about the philosophy and how it served him as a POW in Vietnam. I think once you've actually consumed (and grokked) what the Stoics said, you'll see that it's a philosophy that is timeless and as relevant as ever.
My guess: For criminals, the cost of finding the needle in the haystack is just not worth it - it's easier to phish fresh credentials than to hope that you'll find some in some hard-to-crawl archived data set. So we won't see anything there.

Realistically, this will probably only be exploited by intelligence agencies who have the means of collecting all the data and motivation to do so, and maybe not even them (because they have better ways too). If they do exploit it, the nature of intelligence agencies, of course, means that you typically won't notice any direct impact.

The reason why this caused such a big panic is that while the likelihood of your password being compromised is small, it could have hit anything, and by conventional wisdom, any password/key that _may_ have been exposed, even if the likelihood is small, needs to be considered compromised. Hence, "OMG everything is compromised".

Another reason was probably that it was a really scary wake-up call demonstrating the risks of centralized services. Cloudflare is a Single Point of Failure for a lot of security, but that is easy to push aside until you see it failing.

Realistically (and I'm going to get a lot of flak for saying this) the correct way to handle it is to rotate extremely high-value credentials (think Bitcoin exchangs, administrative access to major services, ...), reset sessions if you're hosting your website on Cloudflare (since session tokens are much more likely to leak than passwords, and the cost of forcing users to re-auth is small especially if your sessions expire regularly anyways), and then call it a day.

In particular, keep in mind that for high-value services, you're hopefully already using 2FA, so even if an attacker did get your password through this, they probably don't have your 2FA token (although Kraken, a Bitcoin exchange, pointed out to their customers that they should re-setup 2FA if originally set up during the vulnerable timeframe, since the key used to derive the 2FA could be compromised).

No, no I was calling them shit heads for their personality. This idea of a chronically out of work man whose wife leaves him isn't necessarily false, but also that it doesn't mean his wife left him because he's chronically out of work but because maybe he's a jerk. My mom and dad were married 30 years and for almost all that time my dad didn't work. She did leave him though, when he developed a meth habit and became delusional. Even though he didn't work, he did raise us kids, he did the shopping, the cleaning, the cooking, he ran the household. In other words he did what should be expected of someone in a genuine partnership: nothing more and nothing less than what he was able to do of what was needed. When he stopped doing that the partnership dissolved.

This "women want a higher earner" picture is a bit crude, and applying it to this situation ignores that men are often ass holes who aren't interested in a genuine partnership, and that category has some overlap with the chronically out of work.
