bcarlton0, what area of business are you in? I'm a young engineer working with FPGAs in the medical space and I'd love to hear about what else is out there.
It's perhaps worth remembering that Putin is from Leningrad, and that his older brother died in the German siege. Also, he was close to Yeltsin, and watched him die from alcoholism, after relentless humiliation by the US and allies.

So it's a fair bet that he has issues.
Dear Google,

My browser (and by my browser I mean YOUR browser) is sending the header 'accept-language: en-US,en;q=0.8' on every request, because it is configured to prefer pages in English.

Therefore, THIS is not what I want to see when I load a page: http://imgur.com/AcugEjZ

Please stop detecting language based on IP when there's a perfectly good setting for it. People travel, you know? You do it on Blogger too - shame on you. :/
That's why I mentioned intelligence. You need proxy wars, coups, espionage, state-funded terrorism, etc etc in other countries to maintain your power. The US excels at that.
Architectural Erosion in Agile Development
Because bindings[10] might have triggered a process that removes bindings 7-9, causing "i" to be out of bounds of the array. I wanted to continue updating the remaining bindings even if some of them got removed.

org-mode is great and I use it to write longer, unorganized sorts of things. It was amazing to have a place I could keep track of my time to the minute, extend if I wanted to do basically anything, etc. I missed the visualized nature, however, as I found the visual feedback to be imperative to my taste.
Sorry, I don't get this--is the seizure notice actually the joke?
No, the reason it's laughable is that the ones expected to bridge this divide are the ones who believe in rights and human dignity for everyone, not the ones who believe that others should be treated as second class citizens. Look at what happened when Obama won. Those on the left were expected to reach out to those on the right, and they did so. But then look at what happened when Trump won: Once again, the ones expected to "reach out" were those on the left! Not the ones who had just won the election, and had just come off an unprecedented level of obstructionism.

So don't lecture me about how we're not bridging the divide. Start lecturing people like this first: https://mic.com/articles/172706/craig-brittain-revenge-porn-... They represent the people you're chastising us for not reaching out to.

I am sick and tired of being told I need to accept garbage people like these, without any effort made to make them accept others. It's not happening anymore.
Unrelated to the article content, but the webpage zoom is broken on mobile.
At the same time, in order to support Trump, you have to feel that xenophobia, sexual assault, bigotry, and mocking of the disabled are perfectly acceptable in a world leader. So they're not entirely innocent.
Agreed. A combination of cryptsetup luksOpen foobar && mount foobar && vim foobar/passwords.txt has always worked fine.

Not much fucking but pretty crazy yeah.
I recently wrote a chess AI in javascript, and found that it wasn't able to evaluate nearly as many moves per second as I expected, even though the implementation was pretty light (though not extensively optimized).

My feeling is that for serious AIs that need to perform huge tree evaluations (whether classical alpha-beta or something closer to monte-carlo minimum regret searches) there's several orders of magnitudes of optimization that can be performed, huge gains from subtle tradeoffs (larger static memory allocations, memory caching strategies, etc) and deep heuristics that can lead to pruning search spaces by huge percentages.

Highly tuned implementations such as these - or the graphics visualizations from the demo scene - have always fascinated me as an art form.

In practice, for most practical purposes, the industry seems to value more code for more features over the incredible feats of superimplementation.
This is insane. It's like saying Roman soldiers fought well because they drank wine out of lead flasks..

I'd be extremely careful not to conflate the two because there's no causation explained by simply showing a graph.

Crime is a very complicated human behavior that arises from multitude of socioeconomic reasons: no money, no education, no opportunity, crime happens.
NASA isn't tasked with food production or distribution, nor should they be. There are other departments for that.

You're shoving the responsibility for the starving masses on NASA and their relatively small budget - why not the military? How is their mission trying to solve the distribution issues? (It's not.) The Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier program cost $36 billion (cf. wikipedia), that's more than NASA's budget. Why spend that money there? There are more than enough ships right now.

If you cut their budget entirely, you would have hundreds of billions to spend. Or education, a group who are also not tasked with food distribution. Or Homeland Security, again not tasked with food distribution.

Why is NASA alone the target of your scorn?

What makes you think that, if NASA were folded right up, all the money would be transferred and the starving masses would be fed? They weren't being fed before NASA was created.

A good portion of the US don't feel that it's their problem to feed the masses, something that could be readily achieved if there was sufficient political will.
I guess you are trying to tie this back to HackForums as a way to suggest intent, this is a pretty weak argument. Unless there's private messages like "oh hell yeah my nanocore is going to be loved by criminals, I'm going to code the best keylogger ever.", there's no intent whatsoever to pin here.

> We need Twitter to be safe too.

In theory agree keeping things safe seems great, but I struggle with the idea that we can define "safe" in a way that is reasonable and makes sense, and where the punishment is effective and reasonable.

The vast majority of times I have seen claims of harassment, the usual process is that someone makes a controversial statement, then realises the group that objects was larger than they imagined as they receive hundreds and thousands objections, some of which are almost certainly awful. I understand how that can feel like harassment when 10,000 people tweet at you, and in 10,000 tweets half a dozen are guaranteed to sound batshit insane and downright scary, but it isn't harassment to be disagreed with, nor to have ideas that you promote subject to scrutiny.

SM amplifies what that scrutiny looks like massively, but pure numbers don't constitute harassment. Nor does people watching everything you say and commenting on it. And this is where it gets tough, nor does having people say mean things about you, because mean is just so subjective.

Any definition of harassment is really tricky, and a definition of "safe" is even more difficult, and we haven't even got to the punishment part yet.

Ultimately, the idea we can stop people disagreeing, and disagreeing passionately enough to border on troubling, is impossible, and what is needed is a something proactive an individual can do to protect themselves.

And I have no idea what that is!
Not to be a hater, but that seems like by far the most obvious way to do that, right?

As I noted in another thread, Putin grew up in the immediate aftermath of WWII. And he's from Leningrad. And then there's the Cold War, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. So yes, he has issues about all that, and so do many other Russians, and that's why he's so popular.

Would you be happy if you had to pay for a toolshed by law?

Yes, you have to keep your grass short, but why do you need to pay for a toolshed to store your lawn mower when you might just want to hire someone instead and not waste time?

You don't need a kitchen any more than you need a toolshed, and it sucks to be forced to pay for something you don't use, especially when every inch costs you.
Why would it make any sense for them to do that when they can just open up offices in different cities?

It looks like this in my personal Lisp dialect, with no new macros:

(match (foo)
(#no (log "foo failed") #no)
(x (match (bar x)
(#no (log "bar failed") #no)
(y (match (goo x y)
(#no (log "goo failed") #no)
(z (qux x y z)
(log "it worked")
#yes))))))

I imagine any language with a match macro, like Racket, could look similar. Using monads or exceptions ought to look nicer, but I'd kind of rather not pull out the big guns.
I suppose it's a bit stingy, but the fact that this is basically a semi-stealth ad for the Home, and the giant ad for the Home on the page, is a turn off on this. Cramming ads even into "jokes" kills what little fun there is left in April Fools.
I too had heard from a friend working there that Singapore was somewhat expensive. Are the pay levels commensurate with costs, for software people?

Also: How long have you been living there, and have you experienced that yearly smoke from burning of forests in Malaysia and Indonesia? My friend said that is an issue, and I've read about that in other places too, also that it happens in Chiang Mai, Thailand and nearby areas too.

How do you handle it, if it is an issue?

Many people's estimate of the probability-weighted impact OpenAI will have is much greater than anything that I'd ever call a Pascal's Wager. You may disagree, but a lot of us actually have our expectations somewhat quantified and grounded, which is very different from the argument as applied to religion.

Personally, I think there's a greater than 10% chance that we'll see AGI that definitively surpasses human ability within the next 50-100 years (growing a lot higher as we get near/past 100). And given what's coming out this early on with minimal funding, I expect that the work that OpenAI does in the near future will have at least a 10% chance of strongly influencing the direction of that AGI work during the critical turning points. A 1% or more chance of their work mattering a lot is plain old betting-on-a-black-swan territory, not Pascal's Wager.
Aside from the acceleration angle, the maker community would also benefit from a richer ecosystem around FPGAs, especially inexpensive ones.

They are very handy for input and output of signals where you need precise timing.

Things like oscilloscopes, video cards for vintage displays, driving led billboard modules, and so on. All of which either aren't possible, or aren't optimal/scalable on either Arduino or Rpi boards.

There are also bits like drop in clones of atmega microcontrollers that run on the fpga, so you can leverage some of what you already know to interface with it.

I find your emotional reactions to this puzzling. Is your last name perchance Midgley?
Yes. It is intuitive to some. But I never learnt it from a text book. Thats why I was curious about such other tricks.
CPLDs have been pretty commonplace in complex embedded system designs for a while. They're great for consolidating a bunch of little logic bits into a single package, and allow you to build some control logic using code rather than iterating hardware when you need to make small changes. There's huge advantages for a system like a phone where you are extremely space-constrained, and also with quick turn engineering cycles where the hardware can't go through 6 revisions before being completed. Throw a CPLD or a low-power FPGA like the Lattice ICEstorm series in there and let the HDL do the rest!
Doxxing a business owner is generally very straightforward even if they take careful steps to hide their identity - there's a huge paper trail behind any real business.

I can't see Github going the way of SourceForge. SF was exclusively a download portal for FOSS, it needed ads (and, eventually, malware) to survive because it had no other revenue stream. Github, on the other hand, really only hosts FOSS to further cement its position as the standard in git hosting. Their bread and butter is large organizations who are paying per seat to keep their code hosted there.

tl;dr: The Go implementation being faster has nothing to do with Java or Go. The version implemented in Go used a slightly different algorithm, which allowed hot inner loops to terminate early, greatly improving the performance of the algorithm.

Sticking to the technical discussion. I agree that some businesses would have to close for Cobol. That number goes down each year, with Java it is still going up. I just the picked the financial sector because we all know about banks and most of us have insurance, so its visible. I also worked a contract at Nationwide (who could do limited business without Cobol, but not without Java) and got to see both in operation. There are many less visible things that would fail but could have more impact.

Without Java the US military is in trouble, a majority of cell phones stop working, the printer in the office I am now fails, Netflix has some level of problems and more and more... It is debatable that Java is the single most widely deployed programming languages. I say debatable, because many of those JVMs were written in C and many of the kernels (when they need a kernel) JVMS run on are written in C, where do we draw that line.

If Java were not practical this would not have been possible. I suspect it would have looked more like Cobol, with shops of experts being able to run and maintain it, but failing and migrating away as time went on.
Presto does this as well. Execution is done by "drivers" which move data pages between operators. It's a cooperative push model rather than a Volcano (iterator) style pull model. There are typically more drivers than worker threads. Drivers are assigned to threads using multilevel feedback queues (inspired by OS schedulers).
If I were replacing my Prusa with something off-the-shelf, I'd buy Ultimaker. My previous maker space had four of them, and they ran those things constantly with minimal fuss.

They are a bit pricey, but there's the option of buying used - lots of people buy 3d printers, and then realize they don't use 'em and so sell them second hand.

No one wants to see this tired marketing chum. The "creatives" are probably more useful starting next year's Super Bowl ad, or putting on monkey suits and dancing in the lobby, or busking in front of the building.

I always enjoyed CodePlex but they limited it just to open source projects no availability to host private projects or anything as far as I know.

"I've never seen code bases descend into chaos as fast as our clojure ones have."

Is this a function of the teams or the language?
A persuasive counter-argument, which convinced me, is:

Imagine a pair of horses in the early 1900's talking about technology. One horse worries all these new mechanical muscles will make horses unnecessary. The other horse reminds him that everything so far has made their lives easier. Remember all that farm work? Remember running from coast-to-coast delivering mail? Remember riding into battle? All terrible. These new city jobs are pretty cushy, and with so many humans in the cities, there will be more jobs for horses than ever. "Even if this car thingy takes off," he might say, "there will be new jobs for horses we can't imagine."

But you know what happened: There are still working horses today, but nothing like before. The horse population peaked in 1915. From that point on, it was nothing but down.

There isn't a rule of economics that says "better technology makes more better jobs for horses." It sounds shockingly dumb to even say that out loud. But swap "horses" for "humans," and suddenly people think it sounds about right.
There is an old engineering aphorism that proper database engines are complete operating systems implemented in user-space. This is true both literally and figuratively; most sophisticated database kernels treat the underlying operating system as a glorified device driver.

It is why they are both so complex to implement and so much fun to build.

> they could arrest a mapping product programmer for some nefarious third parties who plan terrorist attacks.

What if the programmer distributed and supported the product on a terrorism planning site, and worked to ban anyone who mentioned using the mapping product for terrorism? And who knew of a plugin for his software designed to calculate bomb shrapnel distribution?

The guy sells his software through a hacking site, provides a plugin API, but states that it shouldn't be used for hacking. The situation seems similar to ROM sites that say "only download if you own the original game", smoking stores that sell bongs "for use with tobacco products only", etc. He'd have a better defense if he sold the software through a forum for Windows enthusiasts, or something.
They are.
