I think Swift has the potential (and the chops) to become big. IBM (and a few others) is really pushing hard on adopting it as a server side language, their Ubuntu support is pretty good, but some Windows/Android support will be welcome for sure.
It's not difficult.
The process is described here: https://www.fsf.org/licensing/assigning.html

I've done this in the past for both Guile and Emacs.

For project maintainers it is a little bit more involved: https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Legal-Matter...
Let me say it: It is not worth it

Yes, having a big lawn, a big house, etc, are wonderful things to have.

It is not worth it if you have to sacrifice so much personal time to be in a moving box for 2 or 3 hours per day

It's worth even less if you're isolated and needs the car for pretty much any errand that you need to run

Also cars need maintenance, bikes get stolen or they break down. Then what? Your Uber ride will be in the 3 digit range I guess

Bonus question: what happens if you have an emergency at home and you need to be there. Especially at non-peak commuter times

In sum: no
The other useful case is when you open project on another machine for some reason and you find your usual editor not installed and configured. Open any editor and away you go with this, for those quick dirty edits. I require all editors installed to be able to read .editorconfig files and use them accordingly.
Imho it's not as simple as that, the article has a paragraph who puts it in some perspective:

"Nobody wants to have a big goat dairy, so we did it," Joey Grisenti says. This farm, with its guaranteed supply of low-cost workers, can survive when other farms cannot. "A lot of people just can't afford to have the manpower that we have here," he says.".

What does this say? That goat diaries seem to be an unprofitable business unless you've got a "guaranteed supply of low-cost workers". So either goat milk products are being sold too cheap or the process of goat milking needs to be made less labor intensive.

Whatever the solution might be, one thing is for certain: These "guaranteed low-cost workers" sure as hell ain't gonna make it easier for any private competition to join the market, at least if said competition wants to pay their labor fair living wages and still stay competitive.

Then there's also the fact that plenty of countries around the world manage to produce goat milk just fine, without having to employ prison labor, among them, even developed EU countries like France, Spain, Greece or the Netherlands. Countries with way higher labor costs compared to the US, yet there seems to be no shortage of goat milk there?
Not really. Different decimal systems will make divisibity by the primes of the base number more obvious (and thus polynomials whose solution set contain those primes will be more obvious), and fractions whose prime factorizations are contained in the primes of the base will be finite as opposed to "repeating", but all the structures beneath remain the same.
Yeah, exactly. I can't imagine driving.

I started taking my personal laptop with me and using my phone as a hotspot (because the bus WiFi is a joke).

I would get stressed just looking at the traffic the bus had to endure, I can't imagine having to do that then work for 8 hours then do it over again (plus the cost of parking!)
yeah, none of that shit happens with real money
Except, you know, how they said that they are seeing improvements after reversing some of the isolation. Oh and the study in the article.
I agree with you. But in their defense, many of the people in the article have children. As a parent, I can understand why you would want to give your children a space away from the city. Some people are willing to make a personal sacrifice to improve the rest of the family's life.
I'm sort of confused[1] that formal proofs are not mandatory tools in this space. There's some Herculean effort underway[2] to create verified HTTPS stack. The failure mode in that case is maybe, sort of data leakage or server control that might be worth something to someone. In the Etherium case, they just walk away with cash. It takes a sort of hubris (or is it foolishness?) to think you can just be very very careful and it will all work out okay.

[1] Actually, its more schadenfreude, partly with the audacity of the speculator and system market makers, and partly at the mindless waste these proof of work/stake systems require.

But does this rule make the game fair?
Not saying this is the point of Coffee++, but I thought about doing the same thing for Golang -> JavaScript, specifically for React Native. I was willing to use a subset of Golang to get a 1:1 transpile.

My reasons were gaining that my tooling, testing, etc was very Go centric, yet React Native offered a compelling solution to mobile UI development.

Currently I'm choosing not to do it, mainly because JSX is a very nice syntax for React, compared to chaining Go functions ad infinitum. Regardless, I'm just offering some perspective as best I can. Making their own language though is a bit different than my example, because they're just changing syntax, not re-using tooling.
I'd like to encourage employers and corporate leaders to consider whether they have sustainable salaries for their employees. Can employees raise a family while affording the requisite housing and commuting a reasonable amount?

I'm not saying extreme commutes are the employers fault alone, but employers obviously do math when they locate their employees in Manhattan. Things that don't end up in the equation like commute times are paid by someone else, like employees.

Flexible scheduling, remote work, satellite offices, etc. should be considered as part of being a responsible employer, not just a begrudged "perk" because it's too hard to keep good employees.
The parent asked why we don't just search through all candidate primes. Phrased differently, my response is that there are too many. This remains true if you replace "primes" by "indices" --- there are still too many.

> The classic chain is still there, anyone can use it if they like. That's probably the best thing that happened, both groups had their own way and went their own way.

Semantic games aside, this is a classic illegal maneuver in corporate law -- I think the term is "freezeout merger."

It works like this: Alex, Beth, and Casey each own 1/3 of FooCo. So Alex and Beth get together and, by a 66% vote, agree to sell the assets of FooCo to BarCo for $1. BarCo just happens to be owned by Alex and Beth without Casey.

It's a nice move for Alex and Beth, right? They just each increased their net worth by 50% with a simple legal formality. In fact, if you think about it, this maneuver is always a rational transaction for the majority shareholders in any corporation. Which is why it's illegal -- otherwise it breaks the game.

So, what do you think Alex and Beth say in this scenario if they're called on it? They say exactly what you said here: Casey didn't lose anything! She still has 1/3 ownership of FooCo, plus she got her 1/3 of the $1 paid from BarCo, fair and square. No harm, no foul.

(No kidding, I've actually had the lawyer for a company that did this to my client try to make this argument across a conference table. Then the lawyer tries to pretend no one has ever had that idea before. Like this wasn't thought of and dealt with about 5 minutes after the first minority shareholder existed.)

A court, and the rest of the world, will find this argument ridiculous. The obvious intention and impact of Alex and Beth's action was to take net worth (in real world terms) from Casey and award it to themselves. They can't avoid that by playing clever games with the labels.

Likewise, the obvious intention and impact of the Ethereum shareholders' actions was to take net worth (in real world terms) from the DAO hacker and award it to themselves.

Play all the games you want with the words, that's what happened. And that's the takeaway: in the law, the minority has protection from the majority. In Ethereum, the majority shareholders rule, and if they decide you don't deserve to have ownership, they can vote to take it for themselves.

It's potentially rational to decide you like your chances better with the majority-shareholder-vote-is-law system than the legal system in your jurisdiction. (If you live in the US or a similar jurisdiction then I disagree, but it's an interesting argument anyway.) But trying to pretend no one lost anything from the hard fork just doesn't fly.
I had a similar commute - lived just outside London:
Drive close to train station then walk - parking fare at station was a rip-off. An hour on the train. Half hour walk from station to work. At least once a month no trains due to a jumper on the line so not getting home til midnight

Couldn't move closer to London as too expensive, main source of jobs was London

Couple of years of that was too much so started looking around and ended up in Michigan with a 15 minute commute and an acre of property

Trinity Supercomputer’s Haswell and KNL Partitions Are Merged
My current commute is 30 mins each way. It's right at my maximum, but I don't really mind it since I only go to the office a couple of times a week. Usually what I do on those days is plan to get other things done either on the way to work (there is a gym location 1/2 way) or on the way home (like grocery shop).

The commute is also on two highways that run pretty well unless there is a wreck. I would rather a slightly longer commute with easy driving than a shorter one with horrible traffic.
The password manager of course does not "provide" such a mechanism (I imagine providing a "bypass audit logs" button would not be a popular feature). But if you know the key (the master password, or some derivative of it) and you have the ciphertext then you will be able to get the plaintext.

The only way this kind of auditing could be trusted is if all the secrets are stored on the server that implements the auditing, which is exactly the model I believe that most users of `pass` are trying to avoid.
I have a suspicion that good opsec is super hard. It only takes accidentally using an outdated tor client just once to reveal your location...

Typing the wrong password, public key, or even favorite bash prompt anywhere breaks opsec. Even a common typo would probably identify you pretty quickly.
When so many think that something is wrong, maybe there is some truth about it...

If even the creator have concerns, man, that's not a joke!
Windows and OS X have both gotten progressively worse over the last 10 years. Everything past Windows 7 is terrible, and the iOS-ification of the mac OS X platform has killed it for me.

I much preferred the UI/UX of the old Classic Mac OS. Apple should have just plopped that on top of Darwin (I would probably still be a mac user).

Fedora is good enough, and definitely breaks less often than a Windows install (which is a big change from even a few years ago).
"Lead" implies taking the largest position in the round, often but not always around 50% of it. VCs typically have a strict profile for the size of check they write -- though I think this is more prevalent at the seed stage, where funds top out pretty quickly at fairly small check sizes. I think the dynamics are probably very different from this at later stages, but then again the article (and all this discussion) is about seed funding, as far as I can tell.
Not exactly on the deep learning side, but I am a scientist who does some computatinoal work on the GPU.

You're right that we don't use our computer card for our graphics and, as many people pointed out, the computation will wind up running on a headless server. On the other hand, during development, our code will be running on our desktops and will be using the GPUs on the graphics card. I've witnessed a developer's frustration with X11 driver issues cause a project to transition from CUDA to OpenCL.

Granted, he didn't just throw a hissy fit an port the code. Rather, it inspired him to write up a tradeoff analysis of OpenCL versus CUDA that showed that OpenCL offered this specific project significant benefits and that the main selling points of CUDA weren't being used in this instance. He also wound up rage coding a prototype port to OpenCL to go along with the proposal.

The project would have moved eventually, since it was the better engineering decision in this case, but it was about a half decade away on the timeline until the lead dev's compositor stopped work.
Most of the packages that are distributed using GNU Elpa (i.e. the non-built-in packages under FSF control) are developed on Github.
> This is not a bailout as you are not taking money from the community, it is just a return of funds to the original investors

Isn't this the exact definition of a bailout? Specifically it's bailing out the investors in the DAO.
There are also many sites that are highly successful and use 2MB of javascript. I'm not sure what this proves, except that when an app is useful users won't be put off by the technology or even user experience.
> The copyright assignment papers you write aren't as unilateral as you might think.

It means you are prohibited from using your own code except as how the FSF sees fit. That's what copyright assignment means.

So if you want to take your code and contribute it to a BSD licensed project? Nope. FSF won't allow that. Or use it in a commercial product? Nope. FSF won't allow that.

You can use it in a GPL product, so long as you keep the FSF copyright.

> A good weapon can be effective as self-defense merely as a deterrent.

Sure. And what about Samba?

Nothing prevents the Samba team from joining together collectively and suing someone for violating their license. The fact that other people have contributed small pieces to the code doesn't matter. A GPL license violation is still a violation of the code they own.

e.g my own project: FreeRADIUS. At this point, I've written at least half of the code. If there's a licence violation, I don't need anyone else's permission (or copyright assignment) to go after the violators.

So what, exactly benefit do I gain by submitting code to the FSF, and assigning copyright?
SF culture has descended into purity spirals [1]. The last time I was there I was shocked by the amount of signaling that was happening.

yet she/he is still a human being, and (i hope!) cares about your son. being "old school" means that she/he was trained in a certain way, but it doesn't mean that they have been brain-washed or is incapable of seeing success with unconventional treatments (look at CBD / cannabidiol, which is unconventional but is in the process of being adopted by these same "old school" doctors).

we wish it were otherwise, but: if your son had a brain injury where cells died, no amount of oxygen is going to bring them back (or even help his recovery).

i'm sorry for your son's circumstances (and yours...). But you are a victim twice when you invest time, energy, money, and hope in these quack therapies (I'm sorry to call them that, because it seems so pejorative, but that's what they are).

i don't know what it is about quack treatments that make us so susceptible to them... I think it's a missing piece of the Kubler Ross model of grief. Just like our parents who fall victims to ridiculous "nigerian prince" or "check cashing" scams when you can't understand how... it's not because they are dumb, or stupid, but because there is some aspect of human psychology (hope? denial? grief? whatever...) that puts us all at risk of fooling ourselves... we become unable to see the truth, because of how powerfully we want to see something else.

i hope this possibility makes sense to you, because your son will benefit a thousand times more from your attention than if you take the same attention and spend it fighting against "the system" (in whatever form it takes). and take comfort in the fact that even though "the system" really sucks in terms of its limitations, that it does, in general, stumble toward progress, and the future will be better than the present.

Until then... cherish your son and enjoy your time with him to the best of your mutual abilities.

Congressman Roger Williams: Addressing Digital Currency
It really isn't that ambiguous in cursive, though. When writing out "dx" as product in cursive, the "d" and "x" characters are written separately. When writing "dx" as an infinitesimal, the characters are connected. Never had any issue with higher degree derivatives, either.

But I see how it can be confusing with printed characters. I guess Leibniz just took ligatures for granted when he came up with his stuff.
>I really don't understand why it's so hard to accept that humans are the cause, it seems to be a part of the noble savage myth.

Because there's not enough evidence to make that claim. The structure of indigenous societies were nomadic hunter gatherers who were (as far as the evidence tells us) subsistence hunters. Truth is Indigenous Australians didn't have the population (or population density), nor the culture to hunt these creatures to extinction. Being largely nomadic within set ranges (i.e they travelled often but within their own nations land) it was suicidal to overhunt and deplete the resources, and this becomes a stronger point when you consider the timeframes on which the Aborigines existed on their land (again 20,000 years of overlap here). Also consider the sheer number of creatures that went extinct here, everything from Marsupial Lions to gigantic emus and echidnas, it doesn't match up with indigenous australians hunting behaviours that somehow they decided to overkill for this short period of time all these larger creatures, and then that behaviour suddenly stopped? (we have no evidence of Indigenous Australian's overhunting any other creatures to extinction).

To go even further, there's nothing in their oral history or paintings which gives the slightest hint that overhunting or hunting for status was ever present in any Indigenous Australian culture. Considering the ice age ended around the same time as the death of the last megafauna in Australia, I think its fair to evaluate every conclusion you make about the death of the megafauna within that context.

I'm not saying Indigenous Australians didn't have an effect on the death of the megafauna, anything being hunted in a time like a massive climate shift is going to affect population, but there's no direct evidence, nor indirect evidence about the behaviour and cultures of Indigenous Australia which point to mankind being the driver behind the numerous extinctions.

Yeah, I do have to agree with that. I look at home prices even outside of Manhattan and it is absurd. Like $300k for a 1 bedroom 500-sq ft apartment.
This does seem attractive. Any feedback on iOS client passforios it's MIT licensed? And how is sync done,itunes?
> But if it compiles one to one to C++, then it is just a different and more Python-like syntax for C++ ?

Yes. In some cases this is an advantage as C++ can become very verbose with unnecessary repetitions (manually synchronize signatures in .hpp and .cpp files) or stuff that can result in bugs after merges (public/protected/private not explicitly written in front of each method).
My impression of Vault is that it is more useful for automated situations. How useful is it as a shared password manager? Do you have non-technical folks using it? And if so, how are they interacting with the vault?
It's trivial to script if you want (either by modifying the rather simple pass script itself or by wrapping around it).

Some programs support calling an external command to get a password, that's convenient (mutt and msmtp allow that for instance). I thought about integrating pass in my window manager directly but I didn't take the time to implement it yet.

pass also tries to clear the clipboard after 45 seconds.

But really if you can't trust your clibpoard what can you do? I didn't really feel a lot safer with lastpass' browser plugin.
> Those are not sufficient conditions for a one-time pad. The entire pad, not just some "seed" has to be random.

Well that seems a bit pedantic, but yes, you're right. The difficulty I was focusing on however is the randomness itself, not how far it has to be extended. Ostensibly once you've incorporated a non-deterministic seed (which is necessarily external) into your process, you can extend it to the pad itself. The pad itself will just be a stream of that data, like a non-deterministic stream cipher. I get the impression you're aware of this already though, so I won't belabor it.

> One time pad systems are used regularly for high-security embassy-to-State Department communications. Since there are also secure couriers between those locations, there's a way to distribute key material. With today's storage densities, carrying key material around is easy.

Fair enough, I'll concede they have practical uses in situations where there are couriers and extremely high security requirements. That's about all they're practical for, though :)
Are you sure the 'we' and 'someone' shouldn't be read as 'I' and you just aren't so good at playing monopoly? :) (just kidding; almost weekend)

Though to be on topic again, are there many board games where the goal isn't to beat the other player by whatever means the rules of the board game allow? From tic-tac-toe to monopoly to card games, there will always be a loser, and if he or she can't handle that, they will cry/tirade.

Do you exercise on a regular basis? I think I've learnt from Coursera's Learning How to Learn that interaction with people and exercise have similar effect to our brain cells, that both will help generate new cells (I don't know the details, but you probably get the idea).

So that's what I figure how to keep myself sane if I would enter a period of almost-to-none daily interaction with people.

The one probably can't replace the other, but I'm curious if you would still have those symptoms with regular exercise.
Uhh, ever hear about the depression, dot com bubble, great recession/housing market crash?

You're basically advocating "Let's do nothing, the market always corrects itself." Which is true to an extent, but in the extreme it also ruins lives, the country, and itself left unchecked during this process.

This is why a completely unregulated market is a horrible idea. Government needs to step in at certain times. This might not be as expansive as those (localized to the SF area), but it's pretty clear government intervention can be helpful when a market doesn't correct itself fast enough and the majority are screwed in favor of the few (or none).
no, it just prolongs the inevitable. The first player to gain an edge on the others still eventually wins, it's just that it takes hours instead of minutes.
I took the train from York to London a few days ago with my family. It was pretty crowded. The ride into Kings Cross from York was around 2hrs. It was not bad. What I wonder about is the cost. Peak time which is the morning trains are around £45 from what I saw.
