You don't think they're spending money on this?! I would venture a guess they're spending at LEAST $1m on April Fools jokes alone. That includes time (beyond the 20% project) and hiring production companies to make spots like this.

I mean, just imagine the sheer number of personhours needed to create the Google Maps Pac Man game.

That being said, this money is a drop in the ocean for them, and the fact that it gets coverage on plenty of places, it's probably a pretty solid marketing move.

That does indeed look neat. At the same time, there are extensions to CalDAV that codify how to add scheduling to the standard. Namely, RFC 6638:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6638

Certainly, it's something that I wish khal had. This is why I think I'm missing something. Certainly, dealing with CalDAV is a pain because many programs don't produce standards compliant files. That said, it really just looks like a CalDAV server has a folder with a bunch of text files that contain the calendar information. If I want someone to have view only access to that folder, they have read access. If I want someone to have the ability to add calendar events to my schedule, they have read/write access. The file uploads look like they use WebDAV. Syncing across devices just means syncing to the folder on the server. Exotic calendar tricks can be handled either from a server side script or a client side script followed by a sync. Now, I wish that were easier and I think there's room for improvement especially in developing a language to make it easier to write these scripts. However, is there really something fundamental that this framework doesn't have that these other calendar programs provide?

Ok I'll present a scenario. Let's say you discover that there is an easy to reproduce hack that allows someone to remotely control a car of a specific, but popular, company, others aren't affected. All you need is an sdr and a computer. This hack was not so easy to find, which is why it was missed by the developers in the first place. It takes high technical skills to find, but is easy to execute. (BTW, this kind of hack would actually make it difficult to track down who executed the attack)

Currently there have been no cases seen in the wild, how do you move forward? Do you give the company a chance to fix the problem before it is seen in the wild? I think so, and here is why.

If you fully disclose you WILL see the hack in the wild because of its ease to execute and there are malicious people out there. What does the public do? Not go into work for a month? People can't do that. Buy a new car? People can't just buy new cars. They are too expensive and it isn't like a dealer will want to do a trade in for a dangerous car.

Let's say you just tell the public that there is an easy to reproduce hack, and you fully disclose to the company. This can still be a dangerous thing because now that people know there is a powerful hack and they will be looking. Malicious actors will be quick to use it too, because they know it will be patched soon. It isn't unreasonable to think that the hack can be found before it can be fixed and a patch issued.

Now let's say that you just disclose to the responsible party. There aren't many people looking for the hack. Malicious actors that might know about it (definitely few at this point), will be wary to use it because if it is used then the people will find out about it. In the mean time the company patches it, issues an OTA update, and we never see the attack in the wild (or maybe once or twice). We then tell the public so that no one makes the same mistake. By doing it this way you minimize the chance of the hack being used. This method IS protecting your life better than you could do on your own.

We are presented with a problem if the responsible party brushes off the researcher. It is the responsibility of the researcher partially disclosing to the public. So now we're in the second case presented above. But now there is more power to the public. From a legal standpoint you can prove recklessness or malice by the responsible party and a lawsuit will be much easier. The company can be required to replace the vehicle, provide a temporary replacement, or buy it back. Whatever happens it will go much smoother in court than if one of the first two events happened.

The key here is that we need trust. No system is invulnerable and it would be naive to think there is one. What the trust comes from is that the company producing the product you are using fixes the issue quickly. The trust is that they are doing what they can to ensure the safety of the users.
You are probably confusing antimatter with dark matter or dark energy. Antimatter is not some idea scientists invented to fix a theory: it has been observed, produced and even has normal life applications like PET scan.

The human brain is almost completely unreactive to magnetic fields. The trick with TMS is that it creates an extremely short pulse- a time varying field, which induces a voltage at the focal point of the field. This voltage is on the order of 100 mV, which is well in excess of what is needed to trigger all of the nerves in an area to fire.

Static fields do not have the same effect unless you are moving through them at immense speed, eg passing from a region of 2 Tesla to 0 Tesla in a few milliseconds which would mean moving around the speed of sound through an MRI.
> The typical paper seems to run along the lines of "We tried this, and it worked".

This sounds like science to me, is "we tried this, and it worked" something to shy away from for some reason? Of course, it's super important to publish "we tried this, and it didn't work." But that's another topic altogether...

If less math really is a trend, do you see it as a bad thing? You didn't state it strongly, but you've hinted at that, and it seems like the replies assume that's what you're suggesting.

I love math and mathy papers, and I would still welcome a trend toward less math in papers in return for more effort spent on making simple ideas plain and easily understood. But academics don't always operate that way. Math in papers is often used to obscure simple ideas, sometimes on purpose, and sometimes it's an indicator that the author doesn't understand the domain clearly enough but still wants to sound smart. Sometimes a paper really requires dense math, but not very often. Dense math almost always makes a paper more difficult to reproduce. Either way it is harder for even experts to evaluate the quality of dense math than of expository writing that strives for simplicity and clarity.

Neural networks are really simple math under the hood, well understood algorithms and simple linear algebra, why not write great papers that work and don't re-hash the math but instead focus on clarity, reproducibility and results?

> Because it does not exist outside of the minds of the "scientists" "studying" it?

The theory behind antimatter first appeared in an equation written by P. A. M. Dirac[1]. Experimental confirmation came in 1932 in a cloud-chamber experiment conducted by C. D. Anderson[2]. Antimatter is now regularly generated and detected in many different ways, in experiments and observations that aren't based on conjecture.

> Proof of its existence before down-voting would be appreciated.

Done (replacing "proof" with "evidence", since there are no proofs in science).

Because antimatter has both strong theory and experimental validation, the burden of evidence is yours, not ours. This doesn't mean the idea of antimatter cannot be falsified by new theory and/or new evidence -- as with all science, falsifiability by empirical evidence is a requirement.

HEADLINE: bounds checking gcc

DESCRIPTION: https://gcc.gnu.org/extensions.html mentions bounds checking patches for gcc. Get these patches updated to work correctly with the current version of gcc, and get most of the Ubuntu userland compiled with bounds checking enabled (and then gradually work on making more and more of the userland compatible with bounds checking, and also extend it to the kernel). I suspect paying for this development work would be cheaper than paying out a $10,000 bug bounty every time someone finds a bug that could have been rendered irrelevant by bounds checking support.

(Disclaimer: Not a fisherman)

There is no such thing as a "fishing troller".

I assume you are thinking of a "fishing trawler" which catches fish by trawling.

Trawling: to fish (the sea, an area of sea, etc) using a trawl-net.
Trawl(-net): a large bag-shaped net with a wide mouth, used for catching fish at sea.

That said, to troll is also a method of fishing, but involving a baited trailing line rather than a net.

Personally I have always interpreted 'troll' (the noun) in the mythical under-bridge-dweller sense, and 'trolling' in the 'to stroll or saunter' sense. That is, the troll has emerged from his bridge and is now strolling around looking for victims.

Petabytes of data from particle accelerators that only make sense if anti-particles exist.

You seem to be operating under the assumption that anti-matter is something weird and exotic. It's not. It's engineering. We use anti-matter in medical devices at your local hospital: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron_emission_tomography

We're checking to see if our predictions are correct because that is proper science, and it's hard to have a lot of antimatter, but there is basically no reason to doubt it's existence, unless you want to write off all of particle physics. As that is arguably the most solid science we have, you'd basically be writing off all science.
It's interesting that GCC requires -Wall whereas clang issues the warning by default. I wonder how many "bugs" could be caught early if GCC just issued the warning by default as well (for folks who don't religiously use -Wall)?
So what you're saying is that if the market starts behaving significantly different than it has throughout history, people will be screwed. How exactly does backtesting help you in this scenario? By definition, basing a strategy off a good backtest is assuming that the market will behave similarly in the future as it has in the past.

Thank you. Looks like you've packed a lot of good stuff in there already.

I only skimmed so far, but this quote stuck out:

"Programming is fundamentally a way to save human labor, and that includes our own labor."

I'm continually amazed at how many software engineers seem to miss this point.
Inside a homogeneous magnetic field there is no force. It's kind of like being under very high pressure- humans can survive many hundreds of psi as long as the pressure is equal inside and outside the body.

The danger comes when there is a gradient to the field, as happens outside the coil. Then ferromagnetic material wants to move from the low to high field, like high pressure water will want to move to low pressure. As long as you're inside the high field area, you're okay.

This is part of the reason why people can be MRI'd even with shrapnel in their bodies. When the shrapnel is in the center of the volume being imaged, the field is relatively homogeneous except for the small induced gradient field. The shrapnel is already "touching the magnet", so it doesn't feel much more pull.
I could have sworn it was 'Scottish', because that meant that the language wasn't entirely St.Andrews' fault, but it was nearly twenty years ago...

At the time I quite liked it, and did a lot of programming in the SunOS version (the one where they hadn't gotten around to writing the garbage collector). I know better now, of course.

Tell me, do you still cringe when you hear the phrase 'void and void are not compatible in this context'?
I too do this now, and I learned it from the movie The Long Kiss Goodnight, wherein Samuel L. Jackon's character, in order to remember where he puts things (and as a pretty clever plot device), sings it as he's doing it in a blues riff.
Red Hat was rather late to the game. Both Debian and Slackware came out 7 years earlier in 1993.
What does strict mean in this context? I don't know too much about these concepts. I think lazy means only evaluated when needed, like in generators (using Python as an example, which I know - I don't know Haskell or Idris). And I thought (from what little I've read), that the opposite of lazy evaluation was eager evaluation. So in Python at least, an example of eager vs. lazy would be returning a list vs. returning a generator from a function. For the former (list), the whole list would have to be created/populated and then returned (thereby occupying memory for the duration of its use), whereas for the latter (generator), items from it would only be yielded on demand, e.g. one at a time, when next() is called, or when the generator is iterated over, and so would not use as much memory as needed for the sum of the sizes of the items in the list. So where does strict fit in here?

Feel free to point if I've got any of the above wrong.

Update: Thanks for the replies, people.

There are hundreds, but let's provide the first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron

I would have said "supports with evidence" rather than "confirms", in the spirit of falsifiable science. Your argument asks for proof of antimatter, as though science is a religion. But science is a discipline whose purpose is to attempt to falsify ideas, not elevate them to the status of beliefs. Those ideas that resist falsification represent our current understanding of nature, and any of them can be replaced by new theories and new evidence.

> - on ARM, the "y" operand is evaluated mod 32

> - on x86, if y is greater than 31, the result is 0

You mixed them up, didn't you ?

AFAIK, ARM does set all bits to 0 if the shift if greater than 31, but it only uses the lowest byte of the shift amount register, so it feels like a mod 256.

x86[^1] does mask the lower 5 bits of the shift amount, so it feels like a mod 32. And the amount can only be 8 bits, so a 32-bit C variable must be truncated somehow.

[1] except on 8086, there is no mask there, so no modulo.

From the first paragraph of Turing's famous essay on AI:

I propose to consider the question, "Can machines think?" This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms "machine" and "think." The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous, If the meaning of the words "machine" and "think" are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the meaning and the answer to the question, "Can machines think?" is to be sought in a statistical survey such as a Gallup poll.
