Easy - RSS feeds :) I use BazQux Reader, which is basically a modern incarnation of Google Reader. Simple, works, and totally worth the $20 subscription.

All the blogs I just listed, plus a whole bunch more, are in my "Programming - High Quality" folder - anything new in that folder is likely to be pretty good, but the total amount of traffic is relatively low. I also subscribe to several blog aggregators like EchoJS, JavascriptKicks, DZone, Planet Python, etc. Those go in a separate folder that has a lot more volume, and I skim the titles to pick out what's interesting. Then there's the "General" category, and so on.

It's a shame RSS feeds seem to have been mostly ignored after the death of Google Reader. They're a _fantastic_ way to stay up to date with a wide variety of sites.
There isn’t a purpose. It’s a contrived language with the historical and cultural relevance of pig latin.

The purpose is likely to provide its enthusiasts with a quirky hobby. It’s not any more serious a language as Klingon.

Why Duolingo/etc wastes resources supporting such a useless language when they could perhaps support any of the number of dying languages that actually have cultural and historical significance (such as Yiddish, Navajo or any number of African or Asian languages) seems to be a waste.
I'm still wondering where that false clarity is; mostly I see a total lack of clarity being offered, even in the form of pat lies.
The only thing I miss in Google's thing is ability to allow people w/o tech savviness and w/o google account to sporadically add things to my calendar and have them marked as unconfirmed (like semi-transparent). I don't care if they'll recieve any further info, I want people to add their things to my life.

The subject of "who the hell isn't tech savvy enough and doesn't have an account already" is quickly answered with: I'm an uncle, my niece knows her way around the computer and knows the calendar, but has no idea why'd she need an e-mail account, and wouldn't bother to even try at this point.
Yes, thanks for highlighting it! :) FreeBSD port exists for ~2 years: https://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/fastnetmon/
Thanks. Pretty sure that it is not a Win7 version, your binary is from 2001 and only 100kB.

In that case I'll stick with Microsoft Calculator Plus from 2005. Now if you need a binary of that... then I can post a link for you. :)

Actually here you go: http://www.vimalin.com/download/CalcPlus.zip

The installer in the zip is signed by Microsoft.

Found your version :p Just bumped into my calc archives and did a binary compare with a Windows XP archive I had of it and it matched. So turns out it is from Windows XP and yes that one works.
The local government also gives permission for new development, and looks favourably on a planning application that includes an area open to the public. It is worth something to create such an area, but we shouldn't value it as highly as an area that is really owned and regulated by the people.

> Why would a so called "hacker" choose to use an OS that's slow, has horrible update policies, horrible privacy standards, injects ads into the main programs and start menu, requires anti-virus, etc?

I don't know, but that's why I use Windows 10 instead of Ubuntu.

Please back up your polemics with facts. I don't run antivirus on Windows and never have; it's the same fundamental security model as desktop Linux, and if you don't go around installing programs from untrustworthy places (whether download.com or SourceForge), you don't need it. And at a more-than-first-order level, Windows' security model is far better.

I have patches in the Linux kernel and I strongly recommend that someone looking for a secure desktop OS use Windows instead of Linux.
Why do corporations acquire these kind of spaces? What do they gain from it?
For #2, you could always make a dependency that removes your intermediates for you after your final use. You can't be mad at make because it deletes intermediates and because it doesn't delete intermediates. Make isn't psychic.

For #3, I didn't mean to come across as pedantic. I haven't encountered what you're describing, but I have personally been surprised by how Linux does process accounting, so I apologize; I just figured you were being bitten by the same thing.

I like make a lot, but I don't use it for everything, because sometimes there simply are better tools for the task, and I hope you were able to figure out a solution.

> The problem with Singapore is that PAP is actually competent and far from Orban/Putin level.

The underlying problem is that with an authoritarian government you have no recourse if it changes its attitude. Prussia was run competently, too, until Wilhelm II inherited the throne. Authoritarian rule is always a gamble.

There's a reason why Popper argued that "who should rule" is the wrong question [1]:

> Karl Popper identified this attitude as the "Who should rule?"
> approach to politics. He pointed out that it is a bad question
> which seeks an authoritarian answer. Actually, rulers are only
> a means to an end. What we need are good policies, whether
> that comes from one ruler, or many rulers in succession, or no
> rulers.

> What we should focus on instead of who gets to rule is
> creating a system in which errors are corrected. That means
> that bad policies can be changed and bad rulers removed from
> power. And both of those should be possible without violence.

> All people can do is say they have low press freedom index but what can you do?

I think you're misunderstanding. Freedom of the press is just one example. Civil liberties in Singapore are seriously curtailed, and it's not just freedom of speech. Ask HRW and Amnesty what they think of Singapore; ask LGBT people in Singapore in particular what they think about the "competent" PAP's attitude towards them. Well, except that you can't really, because they may get punished for speaking their minds.

> Gays do not eat feces and do not drink piss and anal blood but Church handed out leaflets with 'research' that says they do (and that's why being gay will make you sick) to young children and there were no consequences.

And yet, being gay in Poland is legal, while in Singapore same-sex activity can be a criminal offense.

> Calls online and otherwise for killing Donald Tusk for being a traitor, congratulating ISIS for killing gays on facebook (that's illegal in Poland already and people were doing it under their own real names), saying elections were rigged if you lost and providing no proof, claiming there are huge conspiracies financed by the JEW Soros, etc. Why exactly is this allowed? What value does that 'speech' bring? Why is the Polish law not enforced?

Because the party in power doesn't care. It may surprise you, but there's no First Amendment in Poland. There are significantly more restrictions on freedom of speech than you think, but, oddly, they do not have the effect you wish for.

Because the very act of being on private land means relinquishing some rights to the property owner. I don't like the idea of suddenly being under the jurisdiction of private security just because I walked into an non-distinct private area. Especially since, as the article shows, plenty of them enforce regulations you may not know the details of.

Personally I believe that a huge part of intelligence and superintelligence is about emergent complexity in networks which has increased along with the computational power.

Humans (and biological life in general) is as far as I can see pattern recognizing feedback loops. Humans have more connections in the brain and better/longer memory than other species which seems to be at least somehow fundamental to our difference from the rest.

So while we don't know for sure IF this complexity is fundamental to intelligence we sure seem to be on the right track.
There are techniques in Chinese articles supported by CPC on the topic of detecting steganography and decrypting it. Tampering a file will leave prints that aren't normal, and that could be found. So steganography maybe isn't a good idea at all.

1. It is meant to be an international language. They tried to blend in as many languages as possible. Otherwise someone speaking German, for example would have a harder time picking it up than someone who already speaks Spanish or English.

2. The Esperanto culture is post-nationalistic. They purposely did not want to align with a specific country, and be global.
This is kind of a let-me-google-that-for-you situation, but the nickel explanation is that Zamenhof saw a culturally-neutral international language as being important for building peace, furthering humanism and combating nationalism. If you look at the historical context, it makes more sense.

Most of the criticism aimed at Esperanto today is about how badly executed the language itself is, but it unquestionably got further towards the larger goals than any other constructed language.
In AlphaGo, MCTS is used to explore many plans and select the best. As far as I know, it then execute only the first action of the selected plan, and start a new planning for the next action. As such, it doesn't "stick to the plan", so you could say that it doesn't have a strategy. But the MCTS is definitely a planner.
It's strange in Europe, and especially in as dense a city as London, which has a lot of public engagement and interest in spaces.

That's probably an anti-homeless thing. We try to make it hard to sleep in public spaces to push homeless people to the margins. Like how they put arm rests in the middle of park benches to make it hard to sleep on them.

I know what you're getting at, and that's fair from one perspective.

To people who are socially sensitive it can be very stressful to work with these folks. When I say laid-back I figure I mean that it is more tolerant/friendly to autistic behaviour. The low standard for social skills brings in a lot of people who do productive work, at the expense of the perception of people who don't work well with autistic types. More men and boys are autistic (or close to it) than women and girls, so you'll see an even bigger split here than usual.

Basically, this domain name is typical autistic weeaboo trash (in keeping with the weeaboo handle). It's obviously not a literal endorsement of child trafficking; probably a morsel of dark humour which is more offensive than humorous if you're sensitive; or perhaps it's a tool for his work at NCMEC.

Emotional sensitivity is effectively a cancer to these communities, because a large portion of the members are incapable of it. If it takes hold in the Arch Linux community, it could collapse almost entirely.

HN has a lot of sensitive/agreeable people, so (understandable) outrage in this thread has cost me ~50 karma. It's a matter of personality, whether you see this as a sign of a healthy community, or possibly the end of an era.

Seems like this guy has a history of being a grade too abrasive for different communities. I understand why he sounds so upset in his response here.
The main reason was neutrality, and respect for the popular language. 'Fixing' the inconsistencies of a language means getting rid of its identity, and culture. You may be able to do that with a dead language, but not with a living one.

As for neutrality, an English or Spanish speaker would always have the advantage, thus the idea that everybody can meet on a ground as even as possible. Esperanto tried to solve that by not belonging to any people, or any nation. It ended up being Eurocentric, but to some extent it does fulfill its neutrality motivation

That makes me curious, does the US not have any good comparison shopping websites? Personally Prisjakt[1] (PriceSpy[2] in the UK) is pretty much always my starting point when I'm looking for something, just because their search and discovery tools are so much better than any stores I've seen.

For example, let's look at laptops. Here's a list from PriceSpy of 15"-18" 1080p laptops with AMD graphics, 16+GB of RAM, SSDs, and 3+ USB ports.[3] For comparison, Webhallen[4] and Inet[5] (enthusiast shops, comparable to Newegg) only let you filter by class, screen size, or a few manufacturers. Elgiganten[6] and Media Markt[7] (similar to Best Buy in the US) have a few free-form options, but still nothing even close to the organization or breadth offered by Prisjakt. There are also few to no sliders or groups, instead you're stuck either approving individual screen sizes or predefined buckets of CPU series. Oddly, Elgiganten lets you filter for Intel's CPU price classes (i3/5/7) but not generations.

Amazon seems to follow the same recipe as Elgiganten/MM, which definitely leaves me wondering how Americans shop for computers. Or perhaps that's why so many seem to give up and praise Apple's "simple" lineup...

I wonder if these types of privately owned parks have gained popularity precisely because of the restrictions placed on them. People discover one and then keep going back because it's nice, and then overtime it becomes a more popular place for locals to visit because it has lots of visitors and is more kept up then the actual public places.

For example, I've been disheartened by some of the parks I've visited in Baltimore. There's trash everywhere and sometimes I wonder if the city even knows the park exists.

Hello, I'm not sure of the setup Redis Labs is using, but vanilla Redis AOF does not allow partially-applied updates. Not for Redis transactions (MULTI/EXEC) nor with scripting. The same happens in the replication channel. In order to enforce this, Redis goes a very long way to avoid partial applications of Lua scripts, more info are in the EVAL page and in the -BUSY error in case of scripts not returning that already made writes.

So, a decompiler is cool and all, but...a five-line "Hello World" program turned into a 144-line decompiled program. Is that an accomplishment? I'm pretty sure the "reconstructed" C from that is longer than the assembly.

The private commons I'm most concerned with are actually digital commons: sites like twitter, reddit, and facebook. They have and enforce speech codes and otherwise curate and filter the content.

In this way, a park or two that you can't have a picnic in isn't all that alarming to me. Town squares used to be partially about places for bottom-up speech and marketing. In that world, silencing the riff-raff in squares had serious social consequences. These days, much of it seems digital.

Your statement only makes sense in with the US antitrust laws. The proxy for consumer harm the US uses is prices which is a very narrow view.

EU for example works differently. These articles will give more nuance:

That is a fair point; I appear to have overstated the case there. However, at least two things remain to be seen: 1) to what extent the Ethereum foundation's vision of a vast web of concurrent, interacting contracts is feasible under such restrictions, and 2) an actual example of a formally-verified contract (which would, I believe, depend on the platform itself being formally verified as a prerequisite.)

To expand on point 1, given that your technique should be generally applicable, why has it not taken over all the other applications of computing where security and correctness matter? The reason, I believe, is that it is, in practice, infeasible for many of the sort of things that are useful and that we actually want to do.
Huh... Now I'm confused, I seem to see them fail maybe 20% of the time, anywhere except the biggest cities. Maybe it's regional?
Yes, Esperanto was a deeply political project. The ultimate goal was to spread international unity and peace, rather than just to create an interesting language. At the time, it was taken very seriously by not insignificant numbers of people, and the movement intersected with other late 19th/early 20th century idealist movements, sometimes in unfortunate ways (eventually, both the Nazis and Soviets viewed Esperantists as spies, which pretty definitively shut down its momentum.)

Public relations and advertising. They give that land to public use, after all, so that everyone can enjoy it. They support parks. And so on.
Only being slightly facetious, but given the lack of council funding for parks (or how they prioritise their spending) you can tell the private spaces as they are better maintained and tidier.
