I don't think so ... as I mentioned before the current perception of the German language has a lot to do with Prussia and Nazi Germany (first and second world war), as well as Hollywood movies. I can't find the reference, but one of the most common German sentences in movies was "Halt!" (Stop) followed by "Papiere bitte!" (Papers Please).

German was before the wars considered the language of poets and thinkers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vy9aqDPYWA

It's all about perception. I don't think there are objective measures to tell if a language is better at conveying certain feelings (or better at certain tasks). If somebody knows research around this topic I would be very interested.

For me, I prefer English for anything academic and work related. German I often fall back to when I'm talking about feelings and emotions. You might argue it's because it's my mother tongue. However, I have the feeling (subjective) that German has more words to express mind and feeling related concepts (maybe due to Freud,Nitsche etc. a lot of the terms are also used in English: Angst, ... ).

Sorry, being offended is something I cannot control. I know it's stupid. In this case (also pointed out by other commenters) it might provide proof of the stereotype that Germans don't understand humour :P

I don't think I was cynical at all. I just took the most straightforward literal interpretation of what she wrote. And I think she really meant it since otherwise she would have apologized for any misunderstanding by now.

About he idea that the author's intention was to provoke thinking. What kind of thinking was it suppose to provoke? Push people to self-hate for who they are? Make the ones in the other camp sharpen their pitchforks and attack math departments until they comply with her lunacy?

On the idea that if you write something racist then you are not a racist. Yes you are. What she wrote was not comedy and it wasn't funny at all to me so she does not get the comedy pass.

It's more like I will sell the apples and oranges of all the farms except for that one farmer who dared to try to open up an apple store.

Oh you should try Hungarian then ... Studied both for a while. At least for me Hungarian was magnitudes worse to learn.

Still both languages have interesting concepts.
> This dream would be the single most destructive thing to happen to the internet

Hyperbole much? That statement is just rubbish.

Personally I think it would be the most constructive thing to happen to the Internet. Hell, maybe even society in general. Advertisers are scum, they ruin everything they touch, and any 'content' producers whose businesses died if this was to occur would certainly not be missed by me.
> Using the STL after using Java collections or Qt collections is a shock.

Why?

I prefer having a free-standing generic find function as opposed to it being implemented in each and every container. Even better example: copy. You can use it with containers, but also with input/output streams (using stream iterators).

You mentioned safety, is iterator invalidation bothering you?
For me it's all about power management:

Sleep and hibernate still manage to break periodically.

Higher battery consumption unless I'm willing to break out powertop and tweak endlessly.

Meanwhile, the dev I do is all cross-platform Java and scripting. WSL provides a useful unix-like environment when I need it. And when it really matters I break out a VM.
They have other bigger problems, they are still trapped in Stone Age with XML everwhere (like SOAP), and not nice XML but very obscure usage and memory dumps inside of XML and what not - very ugly mess, often on purpose to keep their formats hard to implement in competitive products.
You are replying to a claim I did not make, that OOXML was not based on Microsoft Office XML or that the XML formats were made more complex than the binary formats.
My algorithm for that kind of stuff is what is cheapest in the store I am in? I think that is what a lot of people do.
I started at a local user group (http://www.uuasc.org/, the Unix Users Association of Southern California). At my very first meeting, the organizer asked me what I could present on... next meeting I was presenting. Very smooth (on the organizer's part -- I'm sure my presentation could have been improved). This was in 2001 and I gave a talk on performance monitoring and tuning of Apache httpd. =) Good times.

That said, the capability to house millions of people in 'new' construction over a short period of time (less than a year) is a new capability that is only now becoming possible.

One of the things I try to avoid is assuming that problems that had either no solution or only bad solutions in the past, continue to have only bad solutions.
I am a little concerned you start with package repository and then org mode. Emacs is at heart a simple, modeless editor. With c-[fbpns] and c-x c-[fa] you can immediately, if laboriously, do anything. Every new thing you learn incrementally speeds you up.
By the way, since you appear to be reasonable skeptic, would you mind replying to my comment beginning with "Unlike airplanes, ..."? Specifically I wonder what would be a minimum threshold for you to believe that AGI is likely possible.

That's kind of a strange comment given that in these very same comment boxes the most ardent *nix users tend to bash the entire concept of GUI (no pun intended) and just assert that a command-line interface is the right way to use a computer.
This has nothing to do with the synchronization service being peer-to-peer or not.
I know at least that Rackspace has a hosted Swift storage service. Of the storage integrations I've worked on, Swift was probably the most error-prone to get your integration stable, though. I guess that's just a credit to the robustness of the S3 client APIs and services that copy it (Ceph, GCS).
There's more to what I'm saying than the buttons. I am actually alleging that yours is more distracting than you think with the input technology being a minor point compared to your brain involvement, and I would say the same of my '94 Accord.
If everything goes right, Model 3 can change the business model of cars. Shift to value add + functionality upgrade based pricing versus a sales and service oriented model.

There's two knobs as well.
The model 3 has 2 dials, one to each side of the steering wheel.
I don't entirely disagree. Screwing with the radio while driving can be distracting no matter what kind of radio you have. But on my current car, I control the radio with click wheels on the steering wheel and a small display right in front of the driver, between the speedometer and tachometer (side note, I also get navigation cues on the same screen). So I can manipulate the radio without taking my hands off the wheel at all, and if I need to look at the screen, I glance directly down just as I would to look at the speed. Reaching and looking over to the right, to manipulate something with no tactile feedback seems different to me.

A bigger one is the climate control. I adjust the climate control in my car multiple times per day, every day, without ever glancing at it. I know which knobs to turn and I get the click feedback to know how much I've turned them.

Of course, I haven't tried the Model 3 touch screen (I've played with the one in the Model S, but not extensively), so I can't say for sure. But intuitively it's hard for me to understand how it wouldn't be different.
I'll happily admit I usually go with the 'coolest' looking packaging.
Surely it only makes sense that I prioritize selling MY apples in MY store, and no somebody elses.

I built a store to sell my stuff and make money, after all.
Just a warning (in case you haven't been made readily aware a thousand times already)... The local agencies (I live in SW Portland area) are basically telling the residents to treat this like a huge natural disaster.

If you were coming from Shasta to the Madras area (or just central OR in general) you'd likely be going I-5 to 97 (or further north 20/22) and they can get jammed up pretty good just on a Labor Day weekend.

Do yourself a solid and make sure you get that RV stocked and fueled to the brim before you hit the road. Expect it to be worse than the fearmongers on TV say, then be pleasantly surprised when you don't have much to worry about is the angle I'd take.
Some will be able to cash out obviously. The problem is that if a significant but small percentage tried to cash out, the market would collapse pretty quickly. Ugh, you have to have balls of steel to play in these kinds of market, and timing needs to be good as well.

Noiszy is a browser plugin that creates meaningless web data - digital "noise."

It visits and navigates around websites, from within your browser, leaving misleading digital footprints around the internet. Noiszy only visits a list of sites that you approve, and only works when you turn it on. Run Noiszy in the background while you're working, or start Noiszy when you're not using your browser, and it sends meaningless data to these sites for as long as you let it run.

This meaningless data dilutes the significance of your "real" data, by creating a campaign of misinformation. You become more difficult for an algorithm to understand, market to, or manipulate. You can outsmart the "filter bubble".

Ask HN: Protect loved ones from online scams?
In the past some of my loved ones fell into a variety of online and phone scams. Experience in development has helped me personally, but even I've been taken advantage of when my guard was down.

Most of my efforts helping others were too little or too late: educating after the fact, Ubuntu Linux (too incompatible), password managers (left unused), etc.

By the way, the California law does not ban texting. It bans ALL use of a cell phone unless it's in hands-free mode.

"California’s distracted driving law prohibits all use of a handheld wireless device while driving, unless the motorist operates a device in voice-operated, hands-free mode. A previous incarnation of the law restricted only “text-based” communications, but the current version covers all wireless device functions."

They do that, but for the programmers it's still annoying (and a waste of time) to have patches rejected because some compiler on some platform behaves differently.
I was talking with a person who works at Tesla tonight during the stream, and he repeatedly said (paraphrasing):

"This is why we've been anti-selling, people keep running away with the hype and assuming things like HUD or autonomous charging is coming with the 3. People were convincing themselves Tesla was going to release a more advanced S for a third of the price, which is plainly a silly expectation."

Probably, the made the Model 3 uglier on purpose, to differentiate from the luxury Model S. Buy yeah I agree there is no motor in front, so they had all freedom to come up with some nice design... the front portion could look a lot better, and the interior is very essential, like a 1980s asian car with an Android tablet taped on, if you ask me.
I don't read mythrwy as blaming those who are already addicted and can't fight their drug habit, but rather those who start taking drugs even when they should be able to see the consequences. (Some quotes [emphasis mine]: "the personal decision to use hard or addicting drugs is something of a moral failing.", "it is a vice in which people for the most part, at least initially, have some choice.")

Shaming doesn't help the addicts, and probably hurts them by making help less available, but it absolutely helps those people who do not yet have a drug habit. The stigma definitely helped me decline when a bunch of my friends started with marijuana (and I'm sure some did worse, but by then we had become distant).

Although decriminalization is the right move to help addicts, it will also have an effect on non-users who were curious but shied away from doing something illegal and getting in trouble. Personally, I think drugs should be available on a prescription for everyone who actually needs them, but off-limits to those who just want to try them out.

Regarding your aside: I'm not sure what kind of dystopia you imagine a "healthy environment" would be. I interpreted it as making sure that people can feel happy without drugs, e.g. by giving them a stable source of income, fostering community and so on. Do you disagree that those would be a good thing?

Texting also used to be something you could do without looking on the old T9 phones, and the law still forbade it. Touchscreen phones are a relatively new invention.
They're charging for it now hoping most people do not opt for it. It provides a smaller user base of more interested, Tesla-dedicated customers who are willing to test out the new functionality before they make it standard.

Their order process isn't a final submission as well when you place an order someone from Tesla walks through that kind of asterisks with you in person if you opt for that functionality explaining the limitations and confirming you're interested in the functionality.
Mine is exactly 46 lines long. Most of these crappy site generators are anywhere from 20000 to 300000 lines.

It takes longer to read the introduction to most static site generators than it takes to read and understand a proper minimal static site generator's source.
I don't see this happening. Look at computers or the home CE market. We've moved away from buying something once and then upgrading it over a period of time. Instead consumers are attracted to new devices, with more features and most importantly a refreshed design.

When you have plastics that age, seats that wear and parts that fail people are always going to want to buy a new car instead of adding new features to an old one.
I don't think it really matters. The reality is that the Ad space is ridden with fraud, poorly performing networks, platforms and methods and I believe we will see an increase of companies dropping spending in digital advertising or at least consolidate around what works and internalize their ad buying (which has been done by ad buyers who literally rip customers off in the fees they take compared to the value they deliver)
The combination of dynamicisim, speed, and general utility of the CL runtime is unmatched anywhere except perhaps smalltalk.

With sbcl/slime, I can run a test, get instruction level profiling of the disassembly, make a change and collect profiling data again without restarting my program. The ability to go up and down the levels of abstraction all in the same environment is unparalleled.

Everyone knew his address when 10 yo. Not only you have to write it down a few times a year but it may have even been taught at school (France).

One of the reasons may be that we use addresses a lot, in other countries it may be that they are used only with actual shipping (?).

Sure, if your store mainly sells your apples do whatever you want. But once you open everyone else to sell their apples at your store for a cut, and everyone starts to rely on it as the only apple marketplace, screwing over the apple farmer next door who tried to open his own apple store is questionable

As mentioned, its traffic charges are as high as EC2/S3. CloudFront is useful if your goal is to reduce load on your EC2/S3 setup for reasons mostly other than cost, and want an all-AWS stack.

If cost is your reason for looking at a CDN, or a big part of it, CloudFront will do very little for you unless your pageviews are extremely costly in terms of compute relative to the amount of data returned, and said data is very cache-friendly.

That's very much a niche requirement. To date I've not come across a setup where CloudFront made sense cost-wise.

And by the way, this commentary that you quoted is by Adriana Salerno, not by the original author. This commentary appeared after the negative reaction to the blog post; the initial version of the blog post did not contain it.

I think by labeling it "opinion piece" the American Mathematical Society was distancing themselves from the content (as well they should).

I notice now that this commentary was also edited, but some of the more egregious statements remain quoted in the comments of the blog. In other words, even the commentary used to be worse.

"after finding that ultra-niche targeting compromises reach and has limited effectiveness"
“The bigger your brand, the more you need broad reach and less targeted media,”

This is quite interesting. I see that other companies are cutting down on agency spending as well and some are focused on having an internal agency. The idea is to know the consumer and have a quick response to what is trending. So, apparently, the information that Facebook provides is not enough to put together a small niche group of people and say that they all would like that product. Or, at least, not worth the dollar invested. But knowing who the target consumer is, and building targeted advertising at it, but reaching a larger population has a more efficient return. Even when it reaches people who are not in the target audience of your product. Because it is a more general campaign about something that is happening, it helps in building the brand. And big companies care a lot about their brands and what people think about them.

Just imagine what it would be like if YouTube were independent all this time (or those others). Either we really could maintain more independent presence on these different platforms better than we do now or Google and Facebook would have figured out how to out-compete and squash them and we'd see the same result as today (except "Google Video" instead of "YouTube" as a name etc).
