The latest trends in Oregon have gone to breweries that aren't inherently IPA specialists. It's a niché but there's plenty of action but rough financially since Commons recently had to scale back. Right though there's more than a few: Cascade, De Garde, Upright, Ale Apothecary, Wolves and People, Logdans, Occidental, Yachats, Alesong, Viking Braggot, Monkless to name a few.

There's also a few breweries really upping their barrel aged game and pushing more less-common styles like Crux, Pfriem and Fort George. Honestly, it's better than it's ever been to be an non-IPA drinker. I'm a stouts / sours and Belgians guy and what's happening here is great.

Even San Diego, the one city that embraces IPAs more than Portland or Bend has a few like Lost Abbey that aren't IPA specialists.

We're starting to see a new wave of beer and it's becoming wonderfully diverse. The craft beer scene in Oregon tends to be a bit more forward but its spreading and with breweries like Brewery Vivant in Michigan or Black Project in Colorado, or older ones like Trinity in Colorado.
And I disagree with that. Having to decry ever racist that pops up on Twitter with "reason" when they had no intention of debating in good faith in the first place is exhausting. And quite frankly, letting them run wild just means that other people are going to stop going there and contributing to the discourse. So now all you've done is succeeded in silencing marginalized people, which was their goal in the first place.

Bitcoin Gold, new full-history fork on the GPU; Core claims “Bitcoin” and “BTC”
I feel like this irony is horribly lost on about half of the commenters here. Creator's job is seen as worthless, but the deliveryman's job value is indisputable.

And yet if Spotify were to pay its engineers scraps, I doubt the voices here would be as supportive.

The only reason the engineers are paid as much is because the companies can't get away with paying less. And just because they can get away with paying musicians less, doesn't mean the musicians should "get with the times". I am not saying every musician should be a millionaire, but there are plenty who collectively carry the multi-billion dollar industry on their backs, but get scraps in return.

On a more general note, when a vulnerable part of the population gets shafted, they shouldn't "get with the times" either. It's a sign of our failure as a society.

I guess it is not surprising that people in a capitalistic society think that the value of an activity lies in how much profit it can generate to the performer of that activity. I guess it's beyond reasonable to expect people to think of externalities and understand them. I guess it's not at all surprising that a bunch of people who claim to be in STEM have a collective amnesia when it comes to understanding that M in STEM is an art akin to music, but with laughable ROI and a far more limited audience (and the number of corporations that hire mathematicians to do mathematics in the entire world is probably... 5? Go on ArXiV and see how many math papers there are by people outside academia, i.e. are the product of the "free" market system).

None of that is surprising. But that doesn't make victim-blaming any less tiring to see.
That is an incredibly uncharitable and biased take on things.
> You need to be careful because it's hard to define what shaming and ostracism mean.

I don't think it is. In any case, I am not trying to write a law so a solid definition is not necessary.

> I think James Watson is a both misogynist and racist and I don't want to be part of a meeting where he is involved.

James Watson was fired the way he was, not because of his words, but because of the internet's reaction to his words and Google's desire to get ahead of the news cycle. I suspect he will win or settle his court case against Google.

I don't know James Watson, you may be right. Do you know him? Have you talked to him? How do you know meetings with him involved would be bad?

I definitely think we would be better served if people have focused on picking apart his mis-used scientific terms, mistaken understanding of some experiments and rather incoherent argument. Instead people decided to loudly label him as sexist, push google into firing him, and push him straight into the waiting arms of the alt-right.

> Am I shaming or ostracizing him, or am I practicing my rights of free speech and association?

Both.

> To be fair, "reason, discussion and facts" have always been malleable in the hands of the powerful. "The Divine Right of Kings" was based on them. So was "scientific racism".

I fail to get your point... other than you think reason is useless?

> In general, by what reason and what facts do you determine that my actions are no longer acceptable? If that happens, what can you do about it which won't, in turn, be labeled "shaming, ostracizing, and censoring"?

When you violate the law, we will prosecute you and send you to prison. If you violate our organization's policy, we will discipline or fire you.

This is a little funny given the walled garden he oversaw the creation of (It seemed like it was intended to improve chances of success by implementing a single standard for an ecosystem), but I'm excluding some context and just poking some fun. Overall it was a good read - he had some excellent foresight about computing and the culture around it. Very cool.

> IMO this can frame our thinking too much. Concurrency and latency are problems in single systems as well.

Right, but every step away from the CPU die you magnify the latency and failure problems by orders of magnitude. Memory is many orders of magnitude higher latency and more susceptible to random bit flips than CPU registers. Another thread's memory is orders of magnitude more expensive still due to cache sync protocols, and more prone to failure necessitating retries due to contention. Another server's data yet more orders of magnitude.

At some levels you can ignore latency and failures as practically non-existent, and as you say, in concurrency you can't ignore them but failures are this level are transient. Failures in distributed systems typically persist because the higher latency make retries much more costly, so we look for other shortcuts that typically aren't as effective as solutions employed in concurrency.

False. IPAs are fantastic. One complicating factor is the definition is so broad that it's impossible to say you like all IPAs.
He didn't condemn Kotlin and swift. He is saying that they aren't necessary and don't solve the original problem. That the constant search for a new framework or of language that will fix everything is a futile attempt to avoid learning how to more effectively code with the tools you already have.

[edit] Oh, and that "Ding" on my phone was this one too. Lovely. Just lovely.

I've literally started switching every infected one, with a custom password generated by SHA-512 fed with /dev/random, and they're 64 characters long except when the POS website refuses to allow that many characters. Even worse, all the "health insurance" and other big-whig companies? Do insane stuff like require "8-16 characters. alphanumeric and capitals only." or even more insane "alphanumeric lower case only."

It's impossible in 2017 to actually use modern websites... and be secure. Even if they kept their stuff safe (which they don't), you can't even use a secure password because they won't let you. You're stuck using a couple of actually secure website services like Google and (maybe?) Facebook. But what about the hundreds of other sites you have to interact with every year? Many of which don't support a secure 3rd-party authentication?

If my small IT company treated our client's security the way health insurance companies do, we'd be out of business... and possibly in jail.

You are able to "work".

It's such an enjoyable and useful process that most everyone chooses to take the booster dose.

It also is a nice safety check, if the person happens to freak out or really doesn't want to continue, they can pass and come back down. But as I Said, in practice no one passes.

It's also not boring or tedious as most therapies can be, it's a lovely place you want to explore.
Huh...interesting. I don't think I've ever sent anything except a URL to my resume, along with a very generic subject that might mention a specific job posting...or not.

Maybe that 'forces' the receiver to read my resume?
That's wrong. You can kill several cops who were only doing their job but you cannot win against army forces. You cannot defend your rights from government with a weapon.

The weapon in USA (especially long range weapon like rifles) is mostly useful for mass shootings.
This should mention Microsoft Research's Concurrent Revisions [1]. I think it's by far the easiest abstraction to grasp for ordinary programmers, particularly if you've ever used version control. In that case, you already know how they work! Revisions scale from incremental, parallel and concurrent programming all the way up to distributed computation. Very neat work.

It's interesting that the Japanese never really did their own personal computers, as Jobs supposed. He was probably right though, computers are a different beast to things like the stereo, because it's always changing a la Moore's Law.

No. Each user control what blockchain he wants to adhere to. Miners are free to construct that blockchain or a different one. Miners then compete for constructing the blockchain.
This is a good time to remind everyone to use a password manager and to have each password generated. Each service should have it's own password so if it gets compromised, your exposure is limited to that one service.

It is clear this is going to be a staple of internet life, so might as well be prepared.
I feel like you could substitute AI for any existential threat in that to try to make people look silly.

CS50’s Changing Demographics
My wife and I met on AIM (mostly) too. My friend wanted me to chat up this girl he knew to convince her he was cool and she should date him. It doesn't seem like a great plan in hindsight from his perspective, and it really wasn't in the end. We've been married 9 years.

I always hear about this abstract guidance to get ideas but haven't had a chance to find a domain expert willing to spend time on sharing the thoughts. What are good examples of when ideas generated this way formed a startup in the past?
Using C as an example is a straw man. There's been A LOT of progress since C. Can you say the same for Java or Python? Not as much.

I was curious about your mention of Harry Beckwith. A little searching turned up this interesting story: http://www.afn.org/~guns/ayoob.html
I question the downsides you suggest.

There was a study done where they had two groups of people implement the same thing, one with a dynamic language, the other with its equivalent static variant.

What they found was that the people who used the dynamic language took 33% less time to complete the task. But what's interesting is students who were given the static typed variant all said they felt the type system helped them, and made them more productive.

Now, that study can be criticised in a lot of ways, but as it stands, it's still better then people's opinions.

I think it can feel like a drag sometimes in dynamic languages to figure out the type of things, and what structure the data comming into functions has, etc. But I suspect in practice, that feeling does not translate to lower productivity or higher defects.
> I see plenty of people saying that all speech should be legal

So why don't you go argue with them on a platform where they exist? I haven't see anyone making that claim here or in the article. Again, what is you point?

> sites like Twitter shouldn't police any speech. That would include violent threats

Generally we leave enforcement of the laws to law enforcement officials. Twitter should give out the information needed to prosecute that illegal speech and send those people to jail, not be in the business of determining what speech is illegal in a way where all of the protections of our legal system are lost.
Incidentally, if you are brazilian (or can read portuguese) and care about a critical view of what's going on, reading Eliane Brum's piece at https://brasil.elpais.com/brasil/2017/10/02/opinion/15069617... provides well-grounded perspective on how this current shift is utterly corrupt.

No, he says he ran out of research money:

>I admit that I resent running out of research money…recent applications from our lab have had their lungs ripped out, often accompanied by sneering, personal denunciations—perhaps reflecting the fact that this old-timer has lost his touch.

It's more disingenuous to say that the title itself is disingenuous.

If a startup winds down because it doesn't get funding, it's perfectly ok to say that it wound down due to lack of funding. Saying that it wound down because others got the money that could have gone to them, is a really really weird way to phrase it.
In the 2007-2012 era, SHA1 was common. Also, the salts will slow down cracking a little for passwords not already known.
Agreed. If something is too easy it gets too competitive and you're working for scraps. But if one is a skilled practitioner, pushing the limits of that skill will be "easier" than learning a completely tangential skill.
I have had the Kaby Lake XPS 13" for about a year. Linux is nice in many ways and it's a decent laptop. The small formfactor/screen might be the best thing about it hardwarewise. Here's my rant:

- I had to research and create a bashscript with these cmds to get better defaults / fix stuff:

-------

# Longer timeout for backlit keyboard

echo 5m > /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/stop_timeout

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/brightness

# This is to stop touchpad from beeing to sensitive while typing

syndaemon -t -k -i 1.0 -d

# Fix headphone hissing

amixer -c PCH cset 'name=Headphone Mic Boost Volume' 1

---------

- Wireless networking performs way worse then on my macbook pro 2015.

- Bad palm rejection on the touchpad bites me all the time, even though I tweaked it with above script.

- Power supply stopped working after ~6 months. Dell sent me a new one though.

- Feels more sluggish then the older MacBook Pro 2015 even though the specs are better.

- Battery-life already feels ... bad.

- When I close screen and opens it back up it's very slow to re-connect to the WLAN. Again, my older MacBook Pro is so much faster.

- Ubuntu have some bad defaults for how certain things work. For example, when I connect to a bluetooth-speaker the default isn't that the volume-buttons on the keyboard controls the bluetooths-speakers volume.

I really wanted to like this laptop, but I'll most likely go latest MacBook Prop for my next. Even though I enjoy the power of pure linux.. and the keyboardlayout better then on a Mac.
Neither. If any of us curl/wget/whatever that file, we gain no usable, plain text, human information. We then have to, manually, notice the redirect, take a manual action to follow up, and then those two further objections would apply. Why implement a text file spec that doesn't serve a text file? Even if all your text file contained was "Please see http://linkedin.com/example” it would be a correct implementation.
This; offer the $$$ and they'll come.

It won't. This latest fad with AI becoming self-aware reminds me of how obsessed people were about finding the philosopher's stone back in the 18th century. It didn't happen for alchemy (we got chemistry instead, which is nice), it won't happen for AI (we'll probably get something like chemistry instead, which will be nice, but we won't get any artificial "sentient" entity).
I can't imagine many other industries as rife with false economies as Software Engineering. There are so incredibly many opportunities to appear to get things done quickly today, only to find that you've hamstrung your future self.
