I think the article inadvertently reinforces the idea that it's really only practical to scale code that segregates processes and uses streams instead of shared memory. New languages should probably focus on things like the Actor model and optimize stream passing with things like copy-on-write so that no data is actually copied until it's mutated.

For this and many other reasons (mainly pushing the onus of managing memory onto the developer instead of automating it) I can't really get behind Rust. I think many other languages like Swift are also barking up the wrong tree by being too pedantic.

> It seems that a lot of people feel essentially forced to take out a mortgage in order to avoid the high cost of rent.

Assuming you can get a mortgage in the first place, even just for a modest flat at £250k the banks would probably require you to have an income of £60-£70k, or a hefty deposit
Prof. Worthen missed one thing that may be helpful.
When a teacher or other professional helps a student with something, it's always appropriate for the student to say "thank you."

I think it's important to have an email client with a way to Undo the Send button for half a minute or so. That way there's a second chance to get it right.

I love the William Raspberry quote. I grew up reading his columns. He was a rare voice of sanity in DC where I lived with my parents, during the Nixon / Watergate train wreck.
> […] fuck these people up to set an example.

I don't think it would be very effective.

There are three reasons for hunting down and persecuting perpetrators of crime: vengeance, setting an example, and undoing the damage.

Only the last reason makes any practical sense here.

This attack works, so there will be others in the future, but it will happen regardless of the threat of punishment. Sure, if you set an example some people might be deterred, but surely not the bright hacker in a basement in Yekaterinburg, or the determined gang in Nigeria, or the mobsters in Chengdu City; i.e., anyone, anywhere without much to lose?
I never knew regulation also referred to government procurement requirements. I thought it was only for rules for market participants in general. If you do include government procurement requirements then your post adds a lot to the conversation.

There is a disparity. It's linked to parental effort, not wealth. Sure wealth makes it easier to get tutors and such, but primarily kids who excel have parents who read to them and worked with them on homework.

And teachers benefits outstrip almost any other job. Far more time off, pensions, good healthcare, etc. It's not a problem of what teachers are paid (there is no teacher shortage), it's a problem of how they are managed. Limited competition, degree and seniority driven promotion, tenure, etc.

But again, the best teacher in the world is going to struggle if their kid's parents don't give a crap about working with them at night.
I don't see any problem too. Now they download something that is not paint.net , next they download and run malware. In this case the cost of mistake is cheap. Let them learn from their mistakes. What we need is to educate people how to download and run what they really need, not blindly clicking the biggest banner on the page.
I generally agree with you, but it's going to be awkward if you're the only one saying "Call me Dr. So-and-So" when everyone else is saying "Call me Pat" (or vice versa).

Not sure what the solution is there.
"In 1834, Harvard students rebelled when some of their classmates were punished for refusing to memorize their Latin textbook. They broke the windows of a teacher’s apartment and destroyed his furniture. When the president of the college cracked down and suspended the entire sophomore class, the juniors retaliated by hanging and burning him in effigy and setting off a rudimentary explosive in the campus chapel."

Yeah, completely agreed -- that's the thing about the pricing, it almost seems too cheap for designers who could use it every day and create huge amounts of value, but also too expensive for casual users like myself, who aren't making a cent on anything using it.

With the app in particular, even though I'd only end up using one or two icons, I'd really like to just be able to use the app to prototype/browse icons. Which is why I'd be very happy to pay a one-off fee to use the app, even if I then have to separately purchase/attribute the individual icons I use. At the moment, you have to be a subscriber to use the app.

I remember reading the Sea Shadow itself went for $400,000 and yeah, you had to break it. You pay $400,000 to ship break a 572 ton boat; at $.20/lb that isn't gonna work. I suppose that only makes sense if you get the HMB-1 for a decent price and you can use it. Apparently that was the case for Bay Ship.
It's shit like this (and the VPN bullshit) that keeps piracy alive. popcorntime has chromecast support and a much better selection anyway. Or kodi or whatever people use these days.

Worth noting Badger here is a reference to the Wisconsin Badgers, since it's based on a paper from UW-Madison.
This isn't that helpful because you need a vPro-capable CPU and the proper chipset and AMT firmware to be vulnerable.
If they had just advertised it as "a heavy blanket" do you think it would have gotten funding?

It got funding because they made unsubstantiated medical claims, which is illegal for good reason. Otherwise I could sell you "anti-cancer rocks" from my driveway.
I saw an article claiming they had infected a third of a million computers by 1-2 days ago. Google claims that private ransomware programs claim a 3% conversion rate, and because this one was spread by worm it is likely to have a greater rate of PCs in business settings (as they are networked) compared to normal. So at least 5 million dollars (avg payment of $450?) and probably pushing up to 8 million by now.

Perhaps a ransomware/malware criminal reading this can make a throwaway and provide a better estimate.
I'm working full time on a new DAW that should make writing music a lot faster and easier. Current DAWs don't really understand music theory or the creative process.

I think that money are simple and crude measure of achievement and social approval. E.g. If part of your motivation is competitiveness or passion for your profession, she is losing after each child. My husbands higher salary won't make up for my missed promotion or less interesting project, it won't make me proud of my skills, basically.

The article however was about men primary. Which I found interesting, because perspective of male who would prefer different tradeoff is rarely available.
I have recently started to think about designing a good workflow for this kind of thing, based on tools like Docker, Nix, Camlistore, etc. The following questions will need to be addressed:

1. Setting up the requisite environment inside a container. Making all "hidden state" explicit -- by specifying the state of every object in the dependency tree (including specifying things like the seed for a random number generator, or a particular noise source).

2. Should the experimentation/improvements happen inside the container, or should it happen on a desktop, with a snapshot of the project (when committed) generating a container version? One could update a Docker image depending on git tags, with project diffs corresponding to container layers.

- It would be great if one could use a script to specify the "state" in a project to be able to move it into a container, at any point in the process.

3. Could one store the output files using some form of content-addressable-memory, so that each output file remembers the "context" in which it was generated?
I think this was the exact same downfall as SourceForge. It's great we don't live in the SoftPedia/SourceForge days anymore (or maybe it's just me, I'm on a Mac now).
Interesting scam but that was not it. eBay confirmed that the buyer had paid, I just was not eligible to get the money. What I paid was a final value fee.
NHR has many facets to it (one of which is, as you mentioned, the 20% flat income tax for qualifying professionals).

The most interesting bit of NHR (from a tech expat working remotely PoV) is the tax free foreign income. Providing your clients are not in Portugal (so you don't brush up against CFC rules) there's nothing wrong with incorporating your consultancy in the UK or Malta and then paying yourself in dividends.
Consider an average American liberal. He or she consumes more energy and generates more entropy than an entire African village, yet she believes in the virtues of environmentalism. He or she is a heavy consumer of goods and services of multinational corps, and yet a great believer in artisanal consumption. He or she has lived all her life in pampered comfort and safety, and does not believe in war, famine, rape, slavery, dictatorships, in false assumption that they will never happen again, because the world is what she's seen, not what it is.
Look, there's no need to have vague arguments about how we would describe their claims. Here is the wording they removed:

"The science behind Gravity reveals that it can be used to treat a variety of ailments, including insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, as well as circumstantial stress and prolonged anxiety."

Assuming that "can be used to treat" means what I think it does, this is simply false: the science doesn't show that. And regardless, claims of this form are specifically forbidden by Kickstarter, which prohibits "any item claiming to cure, treat, or prevent an illness or condition". So they removed this claim, like they should have.

None of this contradicts the fact that you might want to buy one of these blankets if you have insomnia, etc.
Yes, I agree. Men are often told they need to be everything:

Successful yet don't work too much. Help with the kids, yet don't be feminine. Be strong, yet sensitive. Have hard employable skills, but also be an artist. Don't play video games, but be fun to be around.

All of these are difficult to balance.

The scary part is the a majority of divorces are ended by women.

I don't know the answer, but as long as we acknowledge the fact that both modern men and modern women have a long list of conflicting demands on them, I think we can show everyone more compassion.
Even without the distinction intentionally ignoring context can be used to be offensive.

I guess not really for a student talking in a formal way to a professor. But then you can just be formal in an overly mechanical way to imply that you are merely going through the motions and don't actually intend to convey any respect.
Someone has to work to produce the goods and services we need

In slavery the owner is creating the conditions of oppression. In free market the employer is paying the wages which could potentially lift the employee out of poverty

My question is why is it so easy to have advertisements that directly link to downloadable software? If I'm clicking on an advertisement I want to know more about a product, not be forced to run a binary of which I have no certainty of it's true purpose. Or am I thinking wrong? If you disallow download based advertising including linking to pages that only offer you a download, this could be a little more useful against malvertisements. More reason to run an adblocker.
I find this reply to be in complete factual agreement with my original post. You've chosen to emphasize a point which seems unimportant, however. Rockefeller didn't use the government to build Standard Oil into a monopoly. It was a monopoly nonetheless, and the courts still broke it up.
And I've seen the situation play out differently. I just left a job that basically had a 100% work from home policy. It paid slightly less than average for our geographic area, but the men chose to sacrifice maximizing their income to work from home because their spouses had jobs that required them to work late or travel frequently.

I would assume that most well functioning couples work together to optimize their career ambitions, lifestyle choices, and family relationships.
We're also pushing the pension date by 5 year every 5, so there's that. Zero mobility upward, load pressure from newcomers and if you happen to leave the job after your peak at 50 - real or percieved peak - you've mostly unemployment left as a life prospect
I'm aware of that. I was asking about a smaller industry with more specialized skills where that would be commonplace.
Less criterias actually makes it harder, because that matches almost any second/third tier city in Europe.

Everyone talks about how people get infected but is there a guide around somewhere about how do I protect my computer from such attacks? I install all updates and I have an antivirus program but I don't know what else can I do.
yeah, Belfast has been tranquil for a long time, some 20 years or more, the media perception always inflated the reality even in the bad old days..

the good thing is, that in the ensuing time, the city has become alot more vibrant, the youthful generation are now not as shackled with the past. Belfast feels fresh, and its a town with a great industrial and innovative past. Its about time!
Thank you for your question. At this point, this is just to see how PCA works on this kind of data-set. Normally, PCA is used to reduce the dimension of the data in a way that loses less information. It can be useful for saving computation on classification tasks for example.
IMHO, Firefox needs to focus on performance now. There's nothing wrong with the 'old' UI. It is performance that made me move to Chrome.
I don't think mathematicians are the people to ask. "New Math" wasn't new math at all - it was standard abstract concepts known to all mathematicians.

The controversy was whether these concepts are useful or helpful to non-mathematicians, and mathematicians may be the least qualified people to answer that.
> The relationship between student and teacher should be one of collaboration in pursuit of learning, not an authoritative one.

Collaborating and having an authoritative relation are not mutually exclusive. Teaching is essentially an asymetric relation, and it is important for the student to understand that he is not in a back-and-forth process, but in a receiving position.

Of course, there may be situations where this is not true, but it makes sense to optimize the communication protocol in spite of it, because the alternative is more harmful.
See this is where I disagree. We need to get over the idea that every startup is a special snowflake with its own unique set of needs and requirements.

I'm not even talking about hard-tech, or some non-tech law firm startup, or a new hospital or something.

For the software startup (all types, online/offline, web/desktop/mobile, etc, etc), I believe in the 80-20 rule. 80% of the worker roles of all startups are very similar and can be enumerated and contemplated in advance. If entrepreneurs fail to take that into account, they're simply raising the risk bar and setting themselves up for a more likely failure.
It started at 0700 on Friday, UK time. The infections to businesses in the Americas and EU has been done. Asia might be unscathed since the "killswitch" URL was registered. Until it mutates.

Malware is more interesting.

The site itself doesn't seem to have enough ads or well placed enough ads to be "income as a goal". So I'm guessing it's a " proof I can do stuff " or "trophy room" blog, which doesn't care (HR and recruiting will happily use worse websites to judge canidate value, or trophy rooms will be put in a room no one else wants/cabin so far from everyone it doesn't have electricity)

They may be, but I'm still interested to know what they think. I already know what non-mathematicians-in-general think.
Did you consider putting the "center" of the detector somewhere other than in the middle of the vector? what would happen if you had 6 before, and 2 after, or 5 before, and 3 after?

Another thought I had: for performance reasons, it might be nice to have something more compact than a one-hot vector for each letter. Have you looked at determining sets of characters which have a similar impact on hyphenation, and encoding them together?

PS: do you have the extracted list of wiktionary hyphenations sitting in a text file somewhere that you could put up? I'm fixin' to quickly compare the accuracy to TeX's German hyphenation (once the 30+GiB TeXLive repository finishes downloading).

PPS: You could improve the display of code blocks in your site on desktop by adding

display: block;
max-width: 710px;
width: 80%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;

to your `.post-content pre code` rule. Or maybe slightly indent it by reducing the max width a small amount below that of the body text.

IIRC PCA finds the "stochastically optimal" base functions for you, whereas with FFT, DCT etc. you supply base functions yourself and then just do simple linear projections to this base.
That’s an interesting question, isn’t it? Even more, how AMT was enabled in the first place, if the UEFI has no option for it.

And I’ve had massive issues with AMT before – for some reason, on Linux, the ME would force a reset of the network connection every 90 seconds (which is why I use an ancient realtek network card currently).

Possible explanations include bad defaults in the UEFI, a store sending me a used part instead of a new part, etc. If we go into conspiracy territory, NSA TAO interception would also be on the table. Very unlikely, though.

Isn't taxing income making r>g?

A wealth tax isn't unimplementable because of political will but because a lot of assets are illiquid, hard to price, easy to hide, easy to move to another country (hence the call for a global tax, but what if a few countries defect?) or a combination.

As to approaches: "the left" if there is such a thing successfully campaigned for a full confiscation of property, a 100÷ wealth tax if you like, in huge chunks of the world - I don't see a weakness in persuasive ability there. Wasn't a great idea though. A smaller wealth tax is a better idea, but still not great. Baker who one can agree or disagree with has better policy ideas, or at least better thought-out and consistent ones IMO.
