Well, the international regulations that govern maritime traffic do think in terms like right of way. They define for various scenarios of two ships approaching the other which one is the "stand on" vessel, that must maintain course and speed, and which one is the "give way" vessel, which must maneuver around the other.

Of course, the rules do also say that both ships are responsible for avoiding collisions with the other, and that both are free to maneuver to avoid collision if they are put in extremis by failure to follow the navigation rules.

Haxl is a powerful abstraction with IMHO a beatifuly simple implementation.

However for our use case at LumiGuide (reading and writing registers of modbus devices) it wasn't simple enough. We just needed an abstraction for batching and did not need caching and the other features Haxl provides.

So I wrote monad-batcher which as the name implies only provides a batching abstraction (which can also be used to execute commands concurrently). All the other features can be build on top of monad-batcher as separate layers (separation of concerns).

The library is available on Hackage but needs a bit more documentation (a tutorial would be nice):

Counterconjecture: Immigrants have always been shat upon in the US (after the first few waves, to be sure), so the closer you are to the 0th generation of a family, the more adaptation you've had to do in the same environment as those from more established families, and thus are better equipped to solve the problems of a society because you haven't been conditioned to ignore the problems yet (or they don't affect you).
Or sheet music. It always amazed me that humans came up with any solution at all to "here's a piece of paper, tell me what your song sounds like" to say nothing of one that actually works to some degree.

You can use connection pooling, the user you are connected with needs to be granted the role you are switching to (preferably with the NOINHERIT flag) - that's the purpose behind the SET ROLE and RESET ROLE statements.
Ahh thanks.
Interesting thing not cited in the article: Bach's name is a melody, B-A-C-H, where H is B-flat in german music notation. Various composers used that theme to pay homage like Franz Liszt (Prelude and Fugue on BACH) and Max Reger (Variations and Fugue on a Theme of BACH).

Also it's not cited that most Bach compositions were brought from obscurity by composer Felix Mendelssohn in the 19th century.
Cool, thanks! I'll grab a set of ER-20xs to try too.
No, you'll need to call SET/RESET role as their own statements. The easiest way to do this in Java is to ensure RESET ROLE is called when checking a connection back into the pool, and calling SET ROLE in a servlet interceptor (probably the same one that handles authentication).

That sounds a lot like Ethercat, honestly. And I am more in automotive industrial stuff than the protocols on the car, which - while technically standardized - are usually a bit vendor-specific.
Please show me how any of the ideas I've proposed can be exploited. I guess in theory all the people involved could be bribed - but that's already true in our current system! At least this distributes the process over many more people and vastly increases the number of people you need to bribe.

Let's try something and see what happens. It doesn't need to start with the government, even private businesses implementing these systems would be a great test bed. Then we can work out the flaws, if there are any. The potential benefits of improving our prediction making ability is enormous. This is a problem that, in an ideal world, our society would be devoting tons of resources to solve. The status quo sucks and we shouldn't just give up and accept it.

> asked a fake question

What does this even mean?

> The activist does it all the time.

Do you have a source for that activist's history of RTI requests?

> Also, Modi never claimed he was registered to sell tea.

So, he claims to be an unregistered tea-seller? Because that would make him a tax evader.
(http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/modi-talks-development-r...)

> Had the Congress government been so proactive in 55 years by mandating registration of tea sellers, India would be much safer, more cleaner, and less corrupt.

The Congress is incompetent, no doubt. But does that absolve Modi of tax-evasion now?

> Fun fact : That activist is from Congress party.

Sure. What difference does that make to the outcome of the RTI request?

> Another fun fact : Such activists do not disclose the exact wordings of the RTI query, they intentionally post ambiguous queries and use the reply to create sensational headline. I can challenge any of the Modi haters to share their exact RTI queries before they make sensational headline.

The article says "A Congress supporter and social activist Tehseen Poonawalla, had sought information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act from the railway board about whether there was any record, registration number or official pass issued to Modi allowing or entitling him to sell tea on trains and at stations." I don't really see how the wording here could be ambiguous, but I'd be happy to read an explanation.

I know there are plenty of political shills on online forums, but I think it's our collective responsibility to hold political leaders to high standards of virtue, like truth, something Narendra Modi has been fairly inconsistent with.

Agreed. The texture is nice - I enjoy a low-fi sound - but the fun of sound engineering is building your own signal paths to modulate or destroy sound interactively. The more abstracted the sound generation method, the more of a toy and the less of a tool it is, because the rising non-linearities make it increasingly difficult to pursue a specific objective. This has alway sbeen a limiting factor for FM, where undirected noodling can certainly yield interesting results, but not very controllable ones beyond3 or 4 operators.

I do think it's interesting and valuable work. But it's worth bearing in mind that there's no shortage of great resynthesis tools already, and that musicians are besieged with offers from technologists for Sounds! That! Have! Never! Been! Possible! Before! While you can always rely on Jordan Rudess to provide a celebrity endorsement to the keyboard collector crowd, most hobbyist musicians eventually get over chasing novelty and end up reducing their equipment load to a smaller number of really well-engineered devices or software tools that they really like and get to know inside out.
> I’m no better at making small talk now than I was before I met Eli.

I guess the title was written by an editor not the author.

There seem to be two parts to the superpower. The first is a genuine interest in other people. Eli makes many mistakes, but always seems to genuinely care. People pick up on his caring and forgive his mistakes quickly. The second is practice. Eli seems to enthusiastically approach almost anyone and has likely been doing this since he was able to talk.
In terms of their overall output, I think Bach tends more toward music that sounds complex, heady, and ornate while Handel's sounds light and lyrical.

For example, listen to the unfinished fugue in C minor, BWV 906[1]. Once all the voices have entered you can hear how there is a kind of game where Bach is trying to cram as many cross-relations into each measure. When he starts sequencing that disjoint tail of the melody it's about as dissonant as music from that period can get. If you heard three people singing this a cappela you'd think they were from Mars.

That's certainly experimental, but there are many other pieces/moments by Bach that are similarly jarring. I'm going to rankly speculate that there is nothing in Handel's output even close to that (in the hopes that it spurs a contrarian to provide me a link).

>- 32% population over 60 (highest in Vienna's districts), average age 46,3 (vs. 40,5 for all of Vienna)

Downtown can also be more expensive than peripheral districts, so older people are more likely to afford housing there. That's not because of less cars though.

But for our purposes, Vienna with all its districts, not just the center, is still far less car oriented than the traditional US city and its suburbs.

>2,3% of the city's population live there, but only 0,7% of its children

Just considering all as single-kid families would account for 2.3% "of the city's population" living there but only 1.5% of its children. And tons of families have only one kid (but of course 2 parents, divorced or not), lots have no kids, and tons of adults are not married yet. Add immigrants (who are more often than not male who come to seek work and don't bring children), and one would expect adult populations to be larger than children population in the same area.
TSN works excellently for industrial networking.

Ok, well, for scripts:

- You mention sub second load times. Based on https://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Improving+Clojure+Sta..., the surveyed timings are around 2 to 5 seconds, going to 60 seconds for some. That's a bit too much for scripts, you can live with it, but users are going to be annoyed about it for sure.

- Another issue is the difficulty in starting them. You need to invoke java with a class path setup. So you can't have self executing scripts. You can use inlein, but that brings us to my third point.

- The bigget issue is that Java and Clojure are not standard on any machine. While python and bash tend to be. To use Clojure for scripts require each machine to be imaged with java, Clojure and inlein setup.

About performance and low level tasks. I'm not sure which of my use case you're specifically talking about. But an OS and drivers need to be compiled to specific hardware, so Clojure isn't an option for low level code like that. Now the JVM isn't performant enough for major games, you can't control memory yourself, or target specific CPU instructions.

Finally, only a minority of embeded chips support running a JVM instance, I'm not sure I need to explain any further, if you work in embedded systems, it just doesn't make sense to restrict yourself only to the more powerful chip that can run an embedded JVM.

P.S.: I love Clojure, I wish it was great at all these use cases, but it currently isn't, and I think we do the community a diservice to make people believe it is, because they'll try it, and have a subpar experience, leaving them feeling like Clojure isn't that great afterall. I'd rather people try it for what it's good at.

If resources were infinite, I would agree 100%. You could be all things to all people and no one would have to prioritize. As is, resources - cash, time, etc - are limited and therefore, the "Us" has to choose who gets which resources first.

Even Bill Gates who has effectively infinite cash resources has to prioritize his attention.. which is probably his only scarce resource.

Although I agree we all have our own moral code, and you literally don't need anyone's consent to do anything.

The consequences of your actions can be far reaching and perhaps some future version of yourself can come to terms with the fact - it is likely immoral by your future code of ethics, to give out personal data on your family members without their consent.

You can't change giving out data, while your morals can change. That is why being conservative with your data is beneficial. Your future self may change their mind.

There is a difference between a nutjob and the harbinger of something really dangerous. I'm sure there are Trump supporters who says stuff like "we should execute anyone caught sneaking into the country illegally a second time!" But do they have a sympathetic ear among any substantial portion of the population? No. Meanwhile, when a jihadi says "we should execute people who leave Islam!" In Bangladesh, over a third of people agree with that nutjob, and in Egypt it's almost two thirds of people: http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religi.... There is no equivalence. And from the point of view of someone like me (who 1/3 of my fellow Bangladeshis think should be put to death), it's pretty outrageous to even draw the comparison.

You might hypothesize that after 40 years of Trump we might well be in a position where lots of people think illegal immigrants should be put to death. But that misunderstands the evolution of American society. The nutjobs who happen to support Trump have always been there: http://www.gallup.com/poll/163697/approve-marriage-blacks-wh... (even in 2013, more than 10% of Americans disapproved of interracial marriages). But there's been a monotonically decreasing number of those nutjobs every year (down from over 50% in the mid 1990s). Trump isn't a sign of some sort of reversal in that trend. He's just the result of a perfect storm of a particularly unpopular Democratic candidate and an unusual clusterf--k of a Republican slate.
If storage makes sense (if a consumer for the electricity can't be found), battery storage (or flywheel storage) will almost certainly be kept on the wayside and not on trains; that way you don't have to care about weight / volume / heat dissipation concerns.

Also you do not understand how genetics work.

I was thinking about this last night after listening (paradoxically) to a podcast from ESPN about Phil Jackson and Steve Jobs.

This was The Dan Le Batard podcast from Thursday and they talked about return stories. Dan posited the line from The Dark Knight "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" and asked if Phil Jackson had become the villain (the context here is Phil jackson's problems with the New York Knicks and the conversation around how unlikeable he's become to fans of NBA basketball compared to his status first at the head coach of the Jordan area Chicago Bulls and early career Kobe Bryant era Lakers)

Producer Mike Ryan then brings up Steve Jobs and his exit from Next and eventual return to Apple.

That's what got me thinking, would it even be possible in today's hyperspeed/"always on" media world for Kalanick to return or even foist the conditions for a return to Uber or whatever Uber becomes the way Steve Jobs did with Next and eventually Apple?
