Years ago, email marketing companies schemed to use the phrase 'double opt-in' to make the process seem more onerous ('ugh, double the work is so unnecessary, right?') even though the original term was 'confirmed opt in' or 'verified opt in'. That original terminology was specifically chosen because without it, there's no way to know if the email address typed into that online form was someone legitimately signing up or not. Especially when email bombing was much more popular 15 years ago. Sadly, many folks only know the 'double' term these days. 'Double' is more commonly used today since email marketing firms do most of the talking about it. For instance, "confirmed opt in" has 92k results in Google while "double opt in" has 438k. It's much the same as the way the gambling industry rebranded themselves as the 'gaming' industry. Although in the case of 'double opt in' it's been more successful.
Memory usage isn't well understood. If you are using Activity Monitor on OSX the memory tab doesn't tell you much. Double click the process and look at the "Real memory size". That's a much more accurate picture of the physical ram being used by the process. It is typically much less than what you see on the memory tab overview.
The oil crisis was real though. If it wasn't for the growth in supply from unconventional oil in the past 10 years, today's oil price would be over $150/barrel.

Yeah, actually, we feel like it did serve as a solid illustration as to why proper statistical correction is necessary. We had a lot of emails saying what a useful tool it was for lab meetings and classes.

We did a review of the literature as part of our paper. In 2008 something like 30% of papers in major journals used uncorrected stats. In 2012 it was under 10%. The field was certainly already moving in the right direction, but I think we managed to help things along.

Or, if you want to get experimental with it, I've been working on a distributed browser password cracker here: https://github.com/brannondorsey/distributed-password-cracki.... It can be embedded in websites to borrow your visitor's CPU cycles to crack md5 hashes.Note that it is very slow in comparison to Hashcat, but its a proof-of-concept for something that I am hoping to soon add WebAssembly + WebGL GPGPU cracking to.
That's what I've always heard and I can only speak to my personal experience on this, but we track open rates on our marketing emails and have a 36% open rate historically. I'm sure this isn't everyone who is opening them as some percentage have images disabled, but to me this says that a large percentage of our clients do have images enabled as I doubt our actual open rate is tremendously higher than what we are seeing reported.
I've look at that as well, but "scaling production" in 2017 roadmap worries me.

If you were around and doing legit email newsletters 15 years ago or doing antispam configurations, the term was 'confirmed opt in' or 'verified opt in'. Email marketing firms schemed to use 'double opt in' to make it seem more onerous and draw attention away from the fact that 'single opt in' meant 'unverified opt in' that was vulnerable to email bombing utilities. Sadly, as the email marketing firms do most of the talking about it these days, many people only know the term 'double opt in'. But for folks like me that were both advising legit businesses on email newsletters and working with ISPs to block spam, 'double opt in' always harkens back to the code spammers or spammer-adjacent folks used.
There is no technical reason why it can't be done[1], it isn't without its challenges though; How would you deal with the fact that roads are used by vehicles with wildly different heights? What about underpasses, is there enough space to fit the overhead wires? You would also need to make sure that vehicles in one place can connect to the grid on other places. It seems like overhead wires will probably be the best solution, but will only be implemented on highways for use on freight vehicles, not on cities or for personal vehicles.

Ground level power supply systems also exist[2], but would require you to tear up the entire road network in order to implement them, are expensive, and apparently prone to water clogging (which could perhaps be mitigated) without mentioning the fact that they would probably require either an autonomous or guided vehicle in order to reliably maintain contact with the rail.

So, not really, the limitations are mostly about cost and political capital.

caveats: no external images, no custom fonts, no other iframes ( but this can be a positive as it removes ads ). Try it on google search result page, github, bloomberg, etc. It produces a 'text only' image of the page -- only inline images included. pages with lots of external stylesheets take a while ( 10 - 15 seconds ). some sites ( youtube, flickr ) just give a mostly blank page.
I wish MailChimp (and others) would stick with double opt-in.

However, if we've lost that battle, it would be nice if they gave a user the option to require double opt-in on their email before being added to a new MailChimp list.

> As someone who really likes Haskell, I've found the response to the talk from Haskellers, like in that thread, really disappointing. The common refrains indicating that Rich doesn't understand Haskell, types, etc. are patronizing and likely incorrect. (I realize he's trying to hit a few targets, from C++ to Java to Haskell in one go, so it's not always clear which he's complaining about.)

I can see why you would feel that, if you hadn't seen Hickey's talk, being having seen it he was honestly quite patronising himself towards static typing, so no wonder he would risk getting some of the same tone back. That said, I don't think it is far off to say he doesn't understand Haskell, either that or he deliberately ignores the solutions that Haskell offer to the problems he's complaining about. Also, one commenter from the thread mentioned,

I do know from interviews that he's done (MS Channel9, i think it was) that he has at least a passing familiarity with Haskell as of 5-10 years ago, but that's a completely different beast to what exists now

Including he himself mainly focusing on having been a C++ programmer.

> underestimate how little reach the type system has in an open system where data's flying around arbitrary services

There are certainly times when dynamic programming is nice and all, but I feel your statement is quite disproven with e.g. something like Haxl and Facebooks spam filter, which is an incredibly large scale open system, unless we have some different definition of that.

Finally, I agree Haskell and the like are not panaceas, but when a person goes out with incorrect/invalid points talking down about the effectiveness of a system, when in fact the users of it would agree it is highly effective, I feel like it does no benefit to the community to simply let it stand just because the person speaking is someone kinda famous.
I don't think there are significant technical limitations, it's really just cost and practicality.

Trams and busses and trains have been running off overhead lines for a long time, so it clearly works.

The main issues are that it doesn't obviously scale up (i.e. it works fine for a few trams, but not necessarily for thousands of cars filled with 1-2 occupants each) and it would be very expensive to roll out widely. Especially for last mile transport, where it basically becomes infeasible. There's just too much road.

Essentially, it is a viable alternative, but only where public transport is the major form of transportation. If people are still driving thousands of cars rather than taking the bus then it's impractical.

Note: I don’t know the ebook market at all.

100 pages seems a lot to me, I bet most of “short books” are more like 20-40.

I think you could get articles/blog posts for, exaggerating, 200$/piece.

Maybe you can start with that, including building sn audience, and when you have 5 posts you can start drafting the book yourself.

I guess that with another 1k or so you’ll be able to find someone who polishes the book instead of writing it from scratch.

If money is a concern, and if you don’t have a clear readership/revenue model, mayans this is a way to build the ebook step-by-step. My 2 cents.

Management keeps asking when we will write unit tests, and I tell them I’m too busy fixing bugs, because each time I fix a bug I

1) examine the entire code base to find any similar problems
2) implement full parameter validation in that code to try to ensure it can’t happen again and
3) add exception logging code so that we will get an immediate error reported directly on the line it occurred if it does.

If I have any extra time left over, I refactor to eliminate code duplication, update/verify/add more parameter and input data validation, and increase code encapsulation.

Then I point out our crash rate has dropped by 70% in the 6 months I’ve been working on the project.

I'm glad you think that. I still don't trust you, nor do I trust that you will never be breached in such a way that a malicious update will be pushed. Everything you're saying still depends on me trusting you.

What if this is my first time loading? How do I know you're not serving up new files that don't contain checks to be visitors?

Moreover, are you insinuating that you will never update any code and that expect that pop up saying you've updated the code to never appear? Do you expect people to check commits multiple times a week or a day?

So, ok, let's assume you're 100% trustworthy and a malicious actor changes the code and I get an error. Am I now forever unable to access my documents? How can I be sure that the code I'm running is really the code on GitHub after a breach? How does the code prevent changes to the initial code loaded on a request? Which could in theory manipulate the Dom before the service worker could attempt to verify the page, if I'm understanding you correctly.

But again, this all assumes that your 100% trustworthy, and you're not. You're just some person asking me to believe you'll never ever make a mistake or be coerced into a malicious action.

Also I haven't seen a mention of the aes mode you're using. Your security pages is laughably shirt given that it's literally your main selling point.
What are some of the most disliked programming languages?
All this and you couldn't see that the fault in your logic was that sufficiently enforced rules and regulations could mitigate the usage of evil things that centralized powers do. Obviously that infrastructure minimally exists now, but should we keep running as quickly in a direction that makes it more difficult to create such infrastructure?

I mean there's so much more to life than new technology and the corresponding progress in economies. But beyond that,do you genuinely believe that lawmakers are going to keep up with the necessary rules and regulations to keep sufficiently advanced AI under control in more hedonistic acting entities? Obviously that's the extreme case but it's a good thought experiment to test these models of innovation just for the sake of innovation and money.

As someone whose job is innovating where the current state of the art is, it's getting beyond ridiculous that everyone is ignoring the bloated elephant in the room.

There are (only) a couple dozen different blues Porsche has used over the years. The 641 total is because of how that site lists them by year and model line even though the paint code is the same across them.

It makes more sense when you realize that site's mainly used by autobody repair shops; they're searching by year and model first as manufacturers often use the same name even when it's not technically the same paint (different paint manufacturers, variations in formulation, etc.). That matters with repair work. But for what I was working on, it wasn't relevant.

Every article I see on modern transport problems reminds me that I can't understand why we don't have more public infrastructure invested for cyclists?

It really seems like the lowest hanging fruit, but there is not enough profit-motive or politcal incentive to really push it forward?

I would love to bike to work and take a shower on arrival--daily exercise that I need anyways, avoids stress & danger of driving, feels great to do. It's also a lot better for the environment than electric cars, and saves me a lot of time.

It could help with congestion, pollution, obesity, healthcare costs, and possibly improve social morale.

I really think it is an issue where no business or politician has enough incentive/ability to capture profit, so it doesn't ever get much traction, but the public benefit is quite large.

From what I understand Holland's bike infrastructure is seen as a gold-standard among transportation economists on how to reduce congestion and pollution--no?

Yes, and the things he says about it indicate he does think programming languages are important.
Yea, not VList exactly, but similar and also pioneered by Phil Bagwell. They're implemented as a trie under the hood. And provide a list or set or stack or queue or map like interface. You can not mutate the value at any node, instead edits are diffs in the tree, a bit like git commits.

So they end up being almost as fast as their normal mutable counterparts, and with similar and sometimes better memory consumption, because nothing is ever copied under the hood.

This allows them to be good enough to be made the default datastructures. Clojure was the first to make this gamble, and show that the state of the art immutable datastructures mostly pioneered by Bagwell were practical and could replace immutable ones for the 99% use cases.

On a similar note, why all websites have login and signup forms, with the registration typically on the home page and a (huge) fallback logic to log users in even if they use the signup form?

Plus the fb/google authentication buttons with the same logic twice.

Imo it’s just because “everybody else/the bigs are doing so”, and nobody cares to test a different thing.

Note that this isn’t trivial as it seems, as you may have the fb/google buttons, but the bigs don’t.

Typescript has plenty of weird nuances and configuration settings that are required to get things working properly, just like babel.
