If it has automatic memory management I can't really call it "forth" in any real sense; the dictionary-as-heap model (and the compiler threading that allows) is what makes forth forth, not the particulars of the syntax.

> Pro's need a machine that can evolve over time.

Is this really true though for Apple's target market? I'm guessing that if I'm an artist for Pixar and I need a new "professional" machine, the company is 9 times out of 10 going to buy me a new computer rather than buying me a video card upgrade. I'd imagine most large corporations would do something like that since it's more scalable than upgrading individual parts piecemeal.

Buying one "pro" machine and upgrading it over a number of years seems like more of what I'd call an "enthusiast" strategy. I think it's reasonable that Apple is betting that Mac "enthusiasts" would be willing to upgrade their machine wholesale after a number of years (maybe recouping value by reselling their old machine) rather than extensively researching new video cards and buying one off Newegg.

Maybe they're wrong and people aren't willing to do that, but it's their prerogative to place that bet.
Well, that would _slow down_ fake news a bit. That's all.
I can imagine a lot of ways this could be done ethically. Maybe they tried to keep the bot activity to a minimum. Maybe they kept a lookout for non-German (and especially Russian) accounts trying to buy political ads. Either way, I think it ought to be pretty clear that the free market, hands off approach doesn't work.

The measured strain corresponds to a length distortion MUCH smaller than the width of one atom. An atom is about 1 angstrom in linear size, while a proton is 1/10000 that. The measured distortion corresponds to a distance smaller than that of a proton.

I hear this sentiment all the time that "pro users need the ability to upgrade" but not once in a decade of my professional programming career have I _ever_ seen a computer at a workplace upgraded. They get purchased, they get repaired, they get retired or they trickle down to "lesser users", but I've never seen anyone get additional RAM or a drop in CPU replacement on an employer-owned machine. If you needed a better computer all I've ever seen is a new computer purchased.

How would one make it 'practically impossible'? I think most people agree that we would like to ensure day-to-day safety, but the disagreement is "at what cost"?

The NRA defends against removing a constitutional protection against tyranny, simply because < 0.01% of our population is made up of madmen who might access weaponry.
A little. I think it's been mostly fine. But my point is that he has spent a bunch of time building and optimizing a PC that he would not have had to invest into a pre-built, pre-configured machine. He does it because he finds it fun. His company doesn't want to spend time with that stuff, and they seem to be very happy with the consistency they are getting out of their Macs.

>Toxoplasmosis in particular seems intuitively like the perfect combination of new research plus massive prestige for whoever publishes papers on the topic

Eh, not really much prestige, but perhaps lots of press.

The big thing is to not take any single paper as "scientific truth" like what you read in a textbook. The scientific literature is not a textbook, it's the place where science's self-correction happens. Things in text books have been battle-tested, and widely accepted usually due to replication. And even then, textbooks have errors and perpetuate some falsehoods! Any individual scientific paper will not even likely be replicated, because it's working on something that did not turn out to be fundamental to the path of science.

Scientific papers in the literature are how scientists share their small steps while exploring the n-dimensional world. That n is very high, so there are lots of directions to explore, and most of them will not be that interesting. If it is, somebody else may decide to take a look too. If it's a hot-topic, then many many people will. Scientists have to operate in a world where they are exploring what is and is not true, and their relationship with uncertainty is strong; it's absolutely essential to embrace uncertainty.

The biggest thing is to distrust news reporting about science. It's correct about 1% of the time. The motivations of a reporter trying to somehow make an interesting article by deadline on a topic they don't understand are far more distorted than the scientists publishing a paper they expect 30-50 people to ever read. And that's if you actually get a real reporter to look at these things; most articles are just press releases that are cut and pasted from a university press lackey into the newspaper's publishing system. Those are usually even worse.

I don't see any if this not being easily solved by the traditional model of using authorize and capture with external payment processors.

It's been a while since I've worked on such a system, so I suppose it's possible newer processors implement things differently. However, that model was solid because you always knew the state of the charge in your system and finding the state in the processor's system was pretty easy too (in the case of communication errors).

Also, authorize can be run multiple times. Sure, you may place a hold on some extra amount in the customer's account, but it falls off after a few days (and I believe you could release it too, if a different authorize transaction was captured).

This seems like an overly conlmplex solution to a problem that's been solved for years.

Edit: fixed typo.

No. As other posters have mentioned the definition appears at 3,376 words through. Have you read the article for yourself, or did you just make up 'two paragraphs' to attack others?

It's not a 'well written expose'. It's clickbait hiding the meat of the article 3000 words deep for more ad views at the expense of a working narrative. You could happily title it 'guess what this obscure new york law is' and then made a series of slides hiding the answer on the tenth.

Coming to it through emulation years later (I played a few multiplayer games a ton at friends' houses, but barely touched the single-player parts of the N64 library—my only home console until college was an NES) I've found a lot of games that hold up well outside the ten or so really, really good multiplayer games I already knew about. A few might not make it for licensing reasons (Microsoft is all over Perfect Dark now, and Goldeneye's probably never gonna be re-released, plus there are two pretty good and one kinda OK Star Wars game none of which I'd expect to make it) but I think they could easily find enough that have held up for a 20-30 game Classic system.

[EDIT] of all the systems of my youth that I only got to play at friends' and relatives' houses, the one that's been the most disappointing to adult-me is the Sega Genesis. I'd have killed for one as a kid but... it's kinda crap. Most (not all) of its best games are available on the SNES and are as good or better there. The exceptions are few, and mostly not that amazing anyway—again, it definitely does have some real gems! Just way fewer than I thought.

For your remaining points, sure. I don't know enough about text processing to know where the hard problems are.

That makes sense to me... I do some side work which involves media assets and that’s where my current machine is slow. I only “slice and dice” the completed assets in order to add them to the app so it’s not really a problem.

But if I were working with that stuff all day, I’d want as much power as I could get.

But as a programmer, my biggest and by far most frequent bottleneck is when my computer is idle and I’m sitting motionless, thinking about what the best thing I ought to type next is.

I'm not sure from your tone if you're implying that Bitcoin is thus subject to the same criticism, which it seems to by your content. If you're not, it begs the question: who decides the complexity behind the hash calculation, or in your words, how to "make my computer think"? Some bureau?

I took a genomics class. We had a guest lecture by: Frederick R. Bieber about medical Forenics. Fascinating stuff.

Its interesting the way they try to identify people is they pick 13 locations (more as of this year, the article says 16 locations for england) then count what are known as "Short tandem repeats"(STR). These STR markers exist on many chromosomes and are short sequences that repeat, everyone has a different count. (there is a standard for these locations in the US called CODIS: http://strbase.nist.gov/fbicore.htm)

If you have good reads the probability of a random match is in 1 in 594 trillion. Its complicated as the DNA can degrade and the reads can be not so good.

Some places allow Forensic DNA analysis by data mining, in which case you may find relatives of a criminal. Some states require felons DNA to be added to the database. This can be searched though its controversial and familial searches are blocked by some states.

One case helped by this was Lonnie Franklin Jr. aka the "grim sleeper" who took a long time to apprehend.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grim_Sleeper

"Police had found no exact match between DNA found at the crime scenes and any of the profiles in California's DNA profile database, so they searched the database for stored profiles that demonstrated sufficient similarity to allow police to infer a familial relationship. They found similar DNA belonging to Franklin's son, Christopher, who had been convicted of a felony weapons charge. "

Exonerations are possible using dna too:
http://www.brandeis.edu/investigate/innocence-project/dennis...

DNA analysis is just a tool, it can also lead to post conviction exonerations. I think its best used a evidence for building a case, not having the whole weight of the case on just DNA evidence.

I haven't seen any Catholics yet trying to rewrite this history. I have seen atheists correcting incorrect beliefs about this period of history. I'm protestant and not a fan of the RC church hierarchy, but I do care about an accurate representation of history, and the Galileo trial is muddled with fairy tales and misinterpretations, because people don't know the context.

But whatever your religious beliefs are, Galileo did lack proof. His model was wrong. His idea was correct (though originally from Copernicus, of course). But without proof, and without a correct model (which Kepler later provided) there was no way at the time they could know it was correct. There was simply no scientific basis yet to accept it over the existing geocentric model.

The RC Church's position on science was not homogenous. Various officials have said that if an interpretation of the bible ever conflicted with verifiable observations, then clearly the interpretation of the bible must be incorrect. Obviously not everybody agreed, but heliocentrism did have its supporters within the church. It was not considered heresy until Galileo made his position impossible and alienated his biggest fan (pope Urban). In any case, Galileo's theory here, his model, was simply incorrect, and they knew it. There was a solid scientific basis to contradict it. They did pile on a bunch of other accusations, but that's primarily because he angered the wrong people.

Galileo did receive opposition in debate. His problem is that he didn't accept it. He wanted everybody to accept his model, despite the lack of a scientific basis for it.

The DA has an incentive to convict people. All the people who supply the evidence have incentives to help out. Who gets convicted isn't all that important as long as there's a pretty good correlation between a crime being convicted and someone being punished. Doing "my PHD is dependent on this and I'm not going to f-it up" work is time consuming and expensive. Whether the lab and investigative work done is high quality or sloppy it doesn't matter as long as the strong correlation between a crime being committed and someone being punished remains.

I don't think it's strong types either. It is not about the libraries having less bugs, but about they keeping compatibility for much longer (and when they break it, they tend to break in smaller ways).

Could be because of extra flexibility those types grant you, but it's not about bugs.

What would it mean to trust or believe in a theory? What finishing line in our minds does it cross beyond which we accept it as proven or regard it as confirmed?

I don't think there is one. We are fallible and even our best theories are tentative and provisional. When we do rely on ideas it only because we know no better alternatives.

The balance has been struck all wrong, though, with thinking like that totally dominating the policy discussion. Yes, there are some inmates (like fruadsters, drug kingpins) who will use any communication channel for more crime, but there are probably many more that won't. I'm for keeping the latter in close contact with their non-criminal family, friends, and support networks in the interests of keeping recidivism low as well as moral reasons.

Meanwhile, we have private companies profiting off of exploitatively-priced communications services for inmates, when both they and their families are often in little position to pay the excessive charges:

The best (if not most profitable) solution, IMHO, is to offer inmates a low cost to free, monitored telephone service that they can use to call people on a white-list. If they're found to be abusing it, it can be taken away, but it should be otherwise unlimited.
> the risk is that there's some unknown failure mode
