Computers are powerful but boring as hell when it comes to creating music. Lately physical machines have been getting popular again (drum machines, modular systems like eurorack, etc). The computer is then used to glue everything together (mixing and mastering)

You can do electronic music without a computer and with the immediacy of an acoustic instrument : pick up a Volca or an Analog Rytm and you can go a long way (some machines are quite expensive, but hey, guitars and piano are, too)
You have an ability to raise the dead no one else knows about?

Bravo! This is really impressive! I have always wanted to do something like this with a kinect, but I think I like this method way more because of the lack of any black boxes. You can really see how the whole thing works, top to bottom.
Just in order to keep the record straight, I find it necessary to point out that Comey's specific testimony (last week) on the forwarding of emails was false, and that false testimony may be directly related to his being dismissed today.

This happens only in sick markets which don't prevent it, unless we are talking about natural monopolies, then term "winner" has no meaning there.

No, Blink doesn't include V8, it's a separate project. WebKit consists of WebCore — layout engine, and JavaScriptCore — JavaScript engine. Google forked WebCore part of WebKit to create Blink. Before the fork it used a combination of WebCore and V8.

This information is readily available on, e.g. Wikipedia, so I'm not sure why you even try to argue about it.

Node.js doesn't include Blink, it only includes V8. Node.js Compiler doesn't include Blink into the build result — it includes Node.js.
I've generally had the impression that Comey is a more traditional conservative; he might prefer Republicans rather than Democrats be in control of the federal government, but he's never shown much love of Trump himself.

Thanks! Unfortunately that one leaves out the reasons memo.
To remove oneself from involvement in the proceedings. In this case, since AG Sessions was considered to have conflict of interest in the Russian interference matter, he 'recused' himself, i.e., removed himself from the investigations.
> They don't want to wait 30+ minutes.

So then don't use the bare blockchain for transactions.
In this instance, step away from active involvement in investigations concerning a specific subject to avoid appearance of a conflict of interest. Comey still reported to Sessions as A.G. but would not have had to report updates about the investigations into Trump & Russia.
The problem is the response from the man himself. This could all have been resolved with the release of his financials and being open regarding his business dealings when he made the decision to step into the role of public servant.
"Finally, in 1987, Patlex won its first decisive enforcement victory, against Control Laser corporation, a manufacturer of lasers.[29] Rather than be bankrupted by the damages and the lack of a license to the technology, the board of Control Laser turned ownership of the company over to Patlex in a settlement deal"

I am not sure that's working as intended in any way shape or form, considering the invention was "Gould's name for the device was first introduced to the public in a conference presentation in 1959"
How much slower was the hash table when mapped across two physical memory domains vs on the same one?

I recall sometime back that Facebook specifically went with the Xeon-D processor for exactly this reason. Since Xeon D is single socket, it prevents NUMA type of issues.
He was too much of a wildcard. Trump wants to wrap up the Russia thing and he needs someone who is more subservient to do that.
Like the Republicans in the Senate give half a shit about looking partisan. I wouldn't put it past them to appoint Scott Baio if Trump requested it.
I have only seen the word in the context of a court case.

A judge may recuse themselves from a case when they feel that they cannot judge it objectively (or that a strong objective argument could be made that they cannot judge it objectively). It means they withdraw from the case. So if a case should go before five judges, and two of them recuse, those two won't participate and the decision will be issued by the other three judges.
I imagine it would be easier to accept your assertion of anti-competitive behavior if it weren't trivial to completely ignore Apple for your phone needs, or if there were some sort of Constitutional right guaranteeing you the Apple phone of your dreams
Well, change 'right wing' to 'Trumpist' and the statement becomes basically accurate.
Christi will be appointed FBI director, and Comey will get a nice job in the Trump organization for falling on the sword.

Do you really mean to say you write songs without using any theory or explicitly sought knowledge whatsoever? Let's hear one.
You're overthinking it. If you turn off iCloud Music Library, any music you already had on your computer is fine. This means your pre-existing music library will be fine (assuming you didn't delete the music files off of your computer). Yes, there was a bug at one point that could cause it to delete some of your existing music, but it was relatively rare and was fixed shortly after it was discovered.

As for matching, are you adding it from your iPhone, or from your computer? Music matching is a lot more exact if you're adding it from your computer.
Not a native English speaker, but I understand it as "step aside and agree not to interfere"
>As civil service, he can only be fired for cause.

I'm not clear on what "for cause" means for an acting director of the FBI. Wasn't the justification for firing Comey that he mishandled the Clinton email investigation? It looks blown out of proportion to me, but that might count as cause.
He was fired for misuse of funds.
That's nothing - you should try running your own cell tower. Or just hooking up your own telephone exchange.

Email interoperability is at LEAST as good as phone interoperability, which was the GP's point, I think. But all of these things are more walled gardens than you might think.
You might be thinking of Preet Bharara, the US Attorney for the Southern District of NY which would have been in charge of prosecuting the Trump corp, who was fired abruptly by Trump after refusing to resign.
Although I did not point it out, I'm talking about experienced software/game developers. A novice can definitely make the mistakes you are mentioning, which makes your comment a valid point.
... depending on who replaces him. If we are going by previous appointments (Jeff Sessions) we could get a complete partisan hack undermining the FBI for political gain.
SHA256 is not going to be broken by Moore's law computational improvements in our lifetimes. If it's going to get broken, it'll be by some breakthrough cracking method. An attack that could so thoroughly vanquish SHA256 to bring it within computationally tractable range has a good chance of clobbering SHA512 too.

Yes, but my suggestion is don't put up a wall between your visitors and your site. You set up a hyperlink on keywords such as "password", "miltiary encryption", and the only reason one would do that is to link to some FAQ/some other page to explain how that works, but instead I was greeted with a register page, which is an instant turn off. I realize we all want to attract users, but take my suggestion, don't put up a wall. Just imagine yourself, every question you have about a product leads to a register page, which feels like going for a coffee and the store owner says you have to pay first before you can ask him/her for a menu.

Mention "register" subtlety. People who want to try will find the button to sign up. Don't force.
There is no alternative to backdoors. Other than trying to ban encryption again.
The implication of this comment only holds if the replacement FBI Director drops the investigation. The FBI Director themselves are not conducting the investigation, but have instructed the investigation to be conducted. It stands that we should expect the investigation to continue in Comey's absence. Should it cease, this comment would gain merit.

The reasons cited for the dismissal appear valid on their face: the handling of the Clinton email investigation had a measurable impact on the election and perhaps could have been handled better.

I understand that you're trying to follow the pricing model of other Slack Apps, but the functionality you provide isn't worth the price you're asking. Most of the Slack Apps that charge money have another platform backing up the service and the Slack App just acts as a bridge between the two platforms. Slashdraft doesn't have any extra functionality and Slack messages aren't final (you can always edit your message after sending it), as such asking for $1/usr/mo is too much.
Unfortunately that mode of thinking seems to be bipartisan. Recall Clinton's stance on the San Bernardino case:

If you do 1 transaction every minute then someone needs a ~51% attack to "win" after 10 minutes because without that you will not have the longer chain. Having a protocol that can do 1 minute blocks is hard, but not nessisarily less safe because it's number of clocks * computing power that provides safety not the actual effort a block takes.

It was about 50% slower. I would have expected more- 50% of the pages were on the opposite processor, and I expect the cost of a cross-processor communication (on a busy server) would be more than 2X a local memory lookup.

We didn't even know there was a performance problem there- we just wanted to make the program faster, and ran perf, visualizing IPC and sorted by the routines with the lowest IPC (actually, we called it by the reciprocal, CPI, which I find a bit more intuitive). It sort of just provided a bright, blinking sign pointing right at the location causing a huge problem. Once that was solved, you could just select the next item on the list as the next thing to optimize :)

How are they extorting customers ?

They made their implementation of Java a commercial product and have been supporting OpenJDK for those that don't want to purchase it. They are are well within their right to sue companies who are illegally using a commercial product without a license. Just like Microsoft et al regularly sues companies who are pirating their software.

And no the developers who are responsible for Java are not lawyers in their spare time.
"anything Red Hat does is intrinsically bad"

Not at all. I'm saying that politics is normal and good. I want RedHat, IBM, Oracle, etc to fight it out. Legally.

Before replying, I took a step back, wondering what my position is. Here it is:

This modules effort feels like generics. JDK 1.5 adopted the least objectionable, and therefore least useful, design for generics. The rationalization was "backward compatibility", then and now. The correct answer was to retool the JVM and JDK as needed to do generics properly.

IMHO, Java has leaned too far towards backward compatibility. But what do I know? Java continues to do quite well, despite my objections.
At this point Trump is looking more and more like Nixon on fast-forward.
The problem is that people interested in manipulating the election could come to your place and offer you money in exchange for your vote.

That's a damn good reason for using polling booths in public places.
I'd be really interested to hear the concept of how you are making things more IDE-esque
oh I see, by "indefinitely", where you wrote,

>it's easy for a cluster of bad patents to block progress indefinitely

you meant like from 1959 to 1987. Sure is indefinitely. Imagine, if the world had ENDED in 1988 or 1989, then the world never would have gotten a patent-free laser.

/s - nothing else to reply to you. get some perspective before throwing words like indefinitely around. I remember when I was 12 I thought like 4 years ago was an eternity ago, I poo-poo'd books published more than 2 or at the most 3 years ago and I thought everything was instantly out of date.

turns out societies actually operate on a different timescale from 12 year-olds.

but otherwise everything you wrote makes sense. and if the world were to end in the next 24 months, then a lot of patent-encumbered technologies simply will NEVER be brought to market by certain companies, due to patents and patents alone.

I absolutely do believe that. The only thing is that I plan on the world existing longer than this time-frame - but if not, you're totally right and a lot of technology is being held back. only time will tell which of us is right.

On a more serious note, I have a few workflow problems which will definitely make me shell out few bucks if there is a polished product.

In fact, i have more than a few. I'll give you one example. There should be a really nice cross-platform diff viewer for people who use git from the command line. My reasoning for that is that i like using the command line for git because it is way faster than GUI, but i always end up using the terminal for viewing diffs and stashes.
So you're saying you find it plausible that Trump fired Comey an excess of administrative zeal on Comey's part might have led to Clinton's loss of the election.

I might find your position more persuasive if Trump didn't display an almost-daily disregard for administrative norms and procedures. I highly doubt that his new nominee will be told to not obstruct any ongoing investigations.
McCain would vote to confirm, but he'd feel super bad about it.
None of the safety guards that caused Nixon to get knocked down after the Saturday Night Massacre are functioning right now. The AG is a loyalist, the House and Senate are in his pocket (and appear to be intentionally sandbagging their own investigations).
This tells me why I got downvotes, I replied to the wrong comment.

The game wasn't written in rust, is was used in a texture and drawn on a wall.
Trump praised Comey at the time for how he handled the Clinton email cluster.
This is the difference between soft and hard power. With hard power the investigation stops, with soft power it's deprived of resources and faces higher hurdles.
Intel's Management Engine is a security hazard, and users need to disable it
James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence, told a Senate Judiciary subcommittee on Monday that he still has not seen any evidence of any kind of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian foreign nationals.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-N.C., asked if Clapper's prior statement was correct, when he said on NBC that there was "no evidence' of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials. When asked if that is still accurate, Clapper said Monday, "it is."

On NBC weeks earlier, Clapper said, "We did not include any evidence in our report, and I say, 'our,' that's NSA, FBI and CIA, with my office, the Director of National Intelligence, that had anything, that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report."

>but can't it be argued that moderate inflation is a good thing?

Better in relation to deflation.

Money works like any other commodity; there is supply and demand. We hedge towards inflation to ensure that the currency circulates (holding it is "bad") and to ensure there is no excess demand that prevents financial transactions.
As a painter myself this gave me a hearty giggle.

There are some interesting efforts to create systems that work in complement to the main block chain.

One complimentary idea is the lightening network which functions by creating channels that only transact of bitcoins that are currently locked out of the bitcoin system. This eliminates the potential for double spending these bitcoins in a tx with a third party. Once you eliminate the potential for double spending you can do just about whatever you want quickly and off chain. The system is set up to be able to be able to resolve all of the txs that happened off chain when the locked up bitcoins are unlocked.

Once many of these channels are established you can start to establish a connection. For instance if I have 12 bitcoins in my own wallet I might keep ~1 BTC locked up to a connection to coinbase. From there they may charge a fraction of what the on chain cost for any tx would be. It'd take a regular on chain fee to establish the connnection, but once it is up the fee and latency should drop dramatically.
The political heads can be fired by the president at-will.

I believe the parent is incorrect in that if he becomes the head, he can be fired for-cause.

Alexa is positioned differently. There are typically configurable DIY solutions to most broad appeal consumer products. Many just want something that works out of the box, with minimal configuration or learning required.

I don't remember where I read it, but one of the big reasons was that Imperial units are much easier to divide in ways that make a lot of sense in practical usage, whereas Metric is designed to make conversions easier for doing science, which puts practical usage on a lower priority. But take this with a grain of salt.

I can see almost no situation in which the benefits of having a plugged in camera or mic I do not know isn't always on outweigh the costs, even if the cost is "just" mental complacence with surveillance.

If I need peace of mind away from home, I can simply plug in a webcam or connect the otherwise-airgapped security system to the network while I'm away. If I want a hands-free mic, I can buy one with a power switch and connect it to whatever setup I need it for.

If amazon releases hardware that makes it verifiably possible to have such setups, more power to them I suppose. But as likely they won't, as they prefer "all-in-one" solutions that give them "last-mile level" control over how their devices get used, I will probably never buy such devices from them.

>If you want money

Bitcoin certainly isn't useless, but "money" is something that is widely acceptable in exchange for goods and services. Living in the tech bubble might skew your view somewhat, but I don't think Bitcoin is more widely accepted than tons of other commodities.
Have you seen e.g. synfire?
At this point we should demand an immediate Impeachment.
Besides technical risk there's also legal risk. Bitcoin is "legal" in most countries now, but most Bitcoin users aren't following the laws (see IRS vs. Coinbase). But every year that goes by without a government crackdown increases people's confidence that there won't be one.
