This was never about religion. This was always about the royal family maintaining power. In 1979, they implemented laws repressing women and otherwise increasing social authority of clerics in order to avoid having the same fate as the Shah of Iran. Now with the economy slowly failing and with the recent example of the Arab Spring in other countries with economic trouble, they need to liberalize the workforce to stave off an Arab Spring of their own. The Sauds have been educated at the most expensive Western schools and are not the backwards nomads that they rule over.

Agreed. If you're a small start-up in a hurry and <4 devs, the best strategy would be to write top-down smoke tests on your API that will actually tell you when things break, even if not exactly where. Their actual derived coverage might be pretty high.

Wow, this is pretty much 90% of the value of the old Plastic Logic business (are these guys related?)

Sad that they are spinning it as a physical products DRM although I certainly understand how that it is unique there. Cheap challenge/response authentication that even if you have all the materials and the printer you can't duplicate without the crypto secrets. Its a much better gizmo that a hologram sticker.

That said, I'd love to see them add OLEDs so that you can print a 'picture' and drop it on a table and have it light up. The signage options there would be pretty awesome too.
Agreed. I would rather have 5% test coverage that checks against all risky edge cases/inputs than 100% test coverage that checks against arbitrary, low-risk inputs.

Writing tests to confirm the simplest, most predictable use cases is a waste of time - Those cases can be figured out very quickly without automated testing because they are trivial to reproduce manually.

Price comparison of the top four VPS providers at all levels between $5 and $80
> The Linux people aren't dumb, so they give you eventfd - but there's no promise of single wakeup! NT wakes up one thread per increment, and the wakeup atomically decrements the semaphore; Linux wakes up every thread waiting on the semaphore, and they all fight over it, because there's no other option.

You can get Linux to only wake up one thread using epoll and either EPOLLEXCLUSIVE or EPOLLONESHOT.

Though I don't really understand why you'd want to wait on a semaphore and other waitables at the same time… probably this is just my Unix bias/lack of Windows experience showing.
That's why I'm highly skeptical when I hear the word "best practices".

Sure, the intention is good, but it promotes mindless repeating of patterns over thinking about what really helps.
I made this to more easily compare VPS prices. You can create a filter view to sort or filter it to your own requirements.
Marxists in France? Do you have any idea what you're talking about?
Easy to say you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, and who would disagree with you? But I think it is not saying very much. E.g. someone loses their job: "see, I told you it would have been better to work 2-3 jobs. You relied too much on your only job."

At some point you spread yourself too thin and it's better to concentrate on an ecosystem with a critical mass that actually cares about your content.

Do I feel bad about someone who built up a ghost hunting video empire on YouTube see their castle crumble as advertisering industry pivots on standards? Abstractly, no. But just compare the trending content on YouTube to Vimeo and try to imagine the likelyhood of the majority of your users inconveniencing themselves by introducing a rift in their YouTube subscription consumption flow. It's a stretch.
I'm going to suggest you didn't read my whole comment.
I wouldn't call this trivial, but yes it's certainly possible. Well, it's possible for network traveling over the public internet in the first place. One of the main benefits of IPFS is that it's decentralized. If your friend has the content, and you connect directly to his machine and access it, the record of that access never left those two devices. A government would have to inspect them manually to detect the content in that case.

In simpler terms, it's every bit as traceable as traffic over the network it travels. Its primary advantage is, thus, not being tied to any particular network.

The recent reduction in Apple’s affiliate program commission

I used these notes when I prepared the general relativity exam in my university years. I found them much clearer than Wald's "General Relativity", the textbook used in the class.

However, when I had to prepare lecture notes for my own class on cosmology several years later, I found these notes a bit too simplistic. Many of the details and definitions in Wald's text that I found unnecessarily complicated 15 years ago suddenly become unavoidable to my eyes (scompare e.g., Wald's chapter about manifolds with Carrol's definition).

I still think that Carrol's notes are a great introduction to GR. But it would be better for you to keep some other bigger text at hand as well, in order to fill all the details that are missing in the former.

Can I convince you to downgrade to being subjectively convinced?

Storing hashes or probes wasn't faster for the use cases I evaluated. I can see reasons why you might like it, for your uses and perhaps "generally", but not in my case at least (small keys where storage bloat was worse than `fnv` recompute, and values which had invalid states which can be used to represent empties)

Edit: I'm re-reading my first response and it reads like "you never need/want the probe length", and I totally retract that position; it wasn't intended.

It is the same in China. The government does not try to clamp down too hard on vpn in Shanghai, Beijing etc. They are worried about the people in the midland.

Well, I'm 35 and my progression gained momentum after 30, before the 30s everything new took time to get into because i had this idea i had to know everything about everything to be good. But now its a lot easier as i've build up quite some experience on how to fail and succeed.

Programming wise and learning wise i've also grown wiser and know where to have my focus to be able to get better, faster and learn new technologies with my own mental algorithm. Though this most likely has nothing todo with being over 30, but maybe more with the time and experience gained over time. But as you get into the 30s, some people get kids and buy a house and what not. But that will also in time teach you how to manage the time you have available, and you will try to work more efficient and narrow your focus onto your goals and tasks in your everyday programming job or what you're doing, you learn to filter away all the noise and stay focused on the task at hand.
As long as that 10-20% is the more complex bits, and you are capable of picking out which bits are complex, it's IMO better to do that and spend the time saved on other shit that increases maintainability and reliability. Killing tech debt, killing your teammates, whatever.
>don't act all high and mighty about companies using models to sucker you into buying stuff when you're doing it yourself.

Haha, what? Do you have the same critique for traditional news outlets? Furthermore, could you highlight the part or parts in the article that struck you as having a 'high-horse' tone? Seemed more like a statement of facts (as known) and events, and a critique of poor planning to me. You know, reporting.
The argument being presented, is that a job is - to one degree or another - a right or entitlement. The argument is: while yes, that job is of low productive output and it may be questionable as to whether it serves any purpose or needs to exist, it employs someone and therefore should exist specifically for that employee's benefit as opposed to the benefit of the owner of the business who provides said job.

That's an emotional argument without any factual or rational merit to support it. It's meant to arrange the 'working class' as the rulers of the means of production. Standard labor vs capital debate.
Based on the types of common injuries for the line workers, this is a good thing for their health in the long run. From the article, repetitive stress injuries are the norm, not the exception.
> I have yet to see a FRP library that allows you to just use a component without introducing boilerplate.

I'm the author of https://github.com/calmm-js.

I wouldn't necessarily describe it as (pure) FRP, but the combination of techniques used in Calmm pretty much eliminates all boilerplate: in the limit, a truly useful component can be just a single function with a body of a single line of code. Using that component then is just a matter of instantiating the component with desired parameters (no boilerplate). The lack of boilerplate makes it practical to eliminate even small scale repetition with local components.

Parameters to components in Calmm can represent read-only (Observable) or read-write (Atom :> Observable) state. RW state can be sliced with lenses and be used as RO state without glue. RO state can be arbitrarily combined to compute desired properties. Thanks to being able to effortlessly slice RW state, components can be easily made independent of the application state as a whole (IOW, a component can be made to take only just the state it needs as parameters) and be made truly reusable.

Calmm also makes it simple and easy to create both stateless components (consider #1) and components that can optionally use local state so that the user of the component can actually choose whether the component uses local state or a slice of global state.

Calmm also primarily guides you to use stateless, time independent, continuous, observable properties (combine) rather than streams of discrete events (merge + scan) (see #2) which actually introduce undesirable local state and force you to consider timing dependencies again.

Thank you very much. Really appreciate all the details. Can I ask one more question ? In addition to the AI and NLP stuff, is there a framework that already has the basics underpinning of a bot - example, has a decent UI, backend infrastructure for asynchronous messages, solves continuous scrolling etc.
I'm happy to comply with requests from legal entities as and when they arrive however considering how uptake has been I don't see that being a problem any time soon.

I know deep AI is the new hotness, but we still don't know whether it will work. Personally, I think expert systems died too soon, and we're going to see a resurgence.

I wouldn't be surprised if expert systems + operant conditioning don't end up being better at general intelligence than all of the fancier machine learning. That's a very old fashioned view, but I'm an old fashioned guy. My point is just that we don't know.
The Rise of Anything as a Service (XaaS): The New Hulk of Cloud Computing
But you're kind of implying that I feel that way because either I don't use static typing much, or I haven't learned it well, aren't you?

I've used static typing much more than dynamic. I'll admit confusion on things like ocaml polymorphic variants and haskell monads, nevertheless I wouldn't say I find static typing hard as a rule. But surely the point of static type checking is to constrict what you can do for safety and performance reasons. And surely the cost of that is you have less freedom - even when in the exploration phase
This seems like FUD to me. (just skimmed the thread on mobile)

First, this is about a preview version only.

Second: Moving Asp.Core 2.0 target to Netstandard 2.0 is a sensible step to me. This version will be supported by desktop .Net 4.7 (win7+) when the standard is RTM. This will be the point where depending technologies will be RTMd as well. We should revisit this discussion then.
Hi, this is what I would like the dotnet core community * to start using instead of looking for the Lucene team to port several years old java code to core. We already have a search engine on dotnet core. It's called Resin. I'm only a few minor optimizations away, plus one or two features I'd also like to include, from having a robust and full-featured Lucene replacement, leaner, faster, with better compression and with readable code (sometimes even object-oriented). Time to bury Lucene.Net people. Come help out.

*) Is there such a thing? I mean, you're awfully quiet and compared to the java community, which I know exists, you seldom help out in open-source projects. What's up with that? Haven't found the right project yet? Search, i.e. information retieval and NLP, is about as about as interesting as it gets, at least to me. General AI will be bourne out of IR and natural language processing. Not interested yet? There's a really cool Trie and some pretty sweet tree traversing algorithms that can perhaps be optimized. Have a look at my poor-mans [Levenshtein automaton over in-memory trie](https://github.com/kreeben/resin/blob/master/src/ResinCore/I...) and the same [over a disk-based trie](https://github.com/kreeben/resin/blob/master/src/ResinCore/I...). Sentiment analysis comes later on. It's great fun!

The most interesting part of Gasee's piece was the increased ASP of the Mac line. Since Macs are 7% of the of market by unit sales, and its ASP is now almost 3x the rest of the market, it's nearing 20% of of industry revenues, and and probably 60% of pc hardware profits.

I'm a critic of the poor pace of mac updates, but Apple is making far more profits in iPhones and Macs (and overall) now than when Jobs was in charge. It's market position is far stronger as well.
The thing is, for people with kids, at least half of their motivation for showing up to work is getting away from the kids for a couple hours. (Exaggerating, but still).
I'd suggest the tragedy here is an absence of kaizen and team processes that foster continuous improvement. If folks are doing inefficient things, that should be caught by the team in a retro or similar.

Typechecking JavaScript Files with Typescript
Considering just how susceptible children are to advertising brainwashing, you might shed the guilt of skirting video ads on YouTube by installing an ad blocker (ex: uBlock Origin). Morality of blocking ads aside, I wouldn't want my children watching the number of pre-roll ads that YouTube pushes out. As a side effect, your child won't spend an hour a week clicking a skip button, or sitting though the ads that aren't even skippable.
I only have one piece of code for which I can say true 100% coverage exists: a library that works with HTML/CSS color values, and which ships a test that generates all 16,777,216 hexadecimal and integer rgb() color values, and runs some functions with each value.

However, I don't run that as part of the normal test suite. It only gets run when I'm prepping a new release, as a final verification step; the normal runs-every-commit test suite just exercises with a selection of values likely to expose obvious problems.

> Public schools over here have... programs where every student would get a bank account in the first grade with no fees

I think those are actually promotional programs run by the banks (but I agree they're a good thing). I'm 10 years older, but we were all given Commonwealth Bank Dollarmites accounts. There's more info on the Dollarmites program here, apparently schools get affiliate fees & commissions for every deposit the children make ($5 for every account opened, 5% commission on every deposit):

> the state of bank competition meant that it was pretty rare for any personal banking to charge fees

That might have changed, last time I checked the major Australian banks all (except NAB) charged a $5 monthly fee, unless you agreed to setup an automatic monthly deposit of at least $2000. You used to be able to get fee-free accounts so long as you maintained a minimum balance level.
Part of it.. but not entirely.

To me there's something very irritating about trying to focus on details (like a mouse pointer, or reading a page of text) from a distance. There's also the low PPI and size of tv screens; the viewing angle of the TV; the fact that your keyboard and mouse are sitting on your lap or whatever surface is near you (that's not at the proper height); that your chair/couch was designed for relaxing, and not sitting up and typing.

A small part of the could be fixed with a different UI.. but its still a bad experience.
