In Poland we still have the relatively medieval central radio and lights or semaphore system, tiered with rules to override it via radio plus really dumb automated braking system with train central detector, also enforcing speed limits in more advanced versions.

Plain old local moving block systems are widespread but US does not mandate them.
These are all mandatory (esp. the wired one where light or semaphore control is tied to NTC and/or PTC)
And the system is really dumb and electrical, not electronic. It is considered one of Automatic Train Protection systems. (The Polish short is SHP, translated as Automated Train Braking. The other system is Radio-Stop, a dumb radio alert system of local range triggered mostly manually forcing braking of all cabs in range.)

Similar slightly more modern systems are still used throughout Europe. The fact they are dumb (train is only slightly smarter) makes them cheap to deploy. They are mostly supervised or not automated other than the moving block light signal. (Which is often local and can be overridden at low speed only after radio confirmation.)

SHP is placed before speed limits and stations to alert the conductor. And if you pass the second one while the first is not cleared it means the train is runway and automated breaking is applied. The "logic" is in the train.

Compared to this Amtrak style PTC needs a big central computer system and control lines plus a train with an impressive array of sensors with remote data. Similar to ERTMS class 3.

US used to have legacy inductive systems in place, but for dumb cost saving reasons the companies were allowed to nor install them anymore.

Obviously you don't store coins in a publicly accessible node, I don't know where you got that idea.

You run the node and connect your light wallet to it, so that you don't need to trust someone else's node to tell you what is going on. I run mine on an old netbook.

Some people might store their private keys on the nodes themselves, they shouldn't.

The article doesn't seem to highlight that English wine and British wine, are entirely different beverages according to the law.

British wine cannot be sold or market as actual proper wine because it's not real wine. It's just an alcoholic beverage that uses, mostly imported, concentrate grape juice.

While English wine is actual wine made from vines grown in England.

You are still arguing against using the available evidence. You never have the time and resources to fully validate anything of use, so you have to use your judgement as to how best to go about it. If you learn that a person responsible for some aspect of security has been found guilty of defrauding his church's charity drive, it would be prudent to take a second look at his code.
My "commits per quarter" graph jumps from Q4 2015 to Q1 2017, without showing any data for the quarters of 2016. That's interesting because I moved from the US to the UK, which was quite a shock! It took me a while to really feel comfortable in my new home, especially since I had just taken a new job and it too was changing a lot. I guess I really didn't really "fit in" at the new job. Upon reflection, I guess 2016 was a bit of a lost year for me.

I'm impressed. This visualization is _really_ advanced.

Or maybe the labels are just incorrect.

There was a variation on keyloggers disguised as USB hubs used to sniff passwords and text, basically a man in the middle attack on keyboards. They're essentially read only devices which store what they sniff into internal memory or retransmit it using other means.
They however could be reprogrammed not to spy but just to emit certain text appended or in place of what comes from the keyboard, possibly in a spectacular way like waiting for a sentence written by the victim, then sending N backspaces to delete it and swapping it with a new one.

Allowing the police to have total control and oversight was, to me, the point where I knew the police body camera idea wasn't going to fix everything right away. It feels like mostly lip service but it has shown some good splotches here and there. LIke you said, until they are out of the hands of police they are basically useless... Unless buffoon cops forget to turn it on / off depending on the situation.

I disagree. A year is a long time, and a valuable, difficult achievement in February may raise your prestige for a while, but by December that's faded to background levels. I even forget my own achievements from nine months ago, never mind those of a dozen other people on my team.
I actually used it for like 2 months. If you don't care about web development it is pretty OK. All websites worked fine, I got uBlock without any problems.

Not sure if I did something wrong but my experience was OK, nothing amazing, but also not total shit like you say.
In principle, it ought to be possible to ensure an encrypted version of all the video is always uploaded to some governmental servers that the police can not tamper with, where the video can only be accessed under appropriate circumstances by an appropriate authority.
The Greek Govt wanted to negotiate a restructuring of the debt. That outcome would have yielded economic growth, and real servicing of the restructured debt. But that rational and realistic outcome was ruled out by the political requirement for EZ unity, the need to make good FR & DE banks holding GGBs, and the will to impose Schauble & Djisselbloen's economic views. The parallel is the misguided hope of the weaker negotiating partner hoped that pragmatic realism would prevail over the stronger partners politico-economic agenda.
> coroutine void worker(const char *text) {

At first I read 'goroutine' and thought something is wrong with my mind and that I have coded too much Go. But then I saw this:

> go(worker("Hello!"));

Now I am pretty sure someone got inspired by Golang ;-) Nice to see some backporting of Go features to C.

Note: That doesn't mean that Go is the only language that supports easy concurrent patterns, but that the creators of Go wanted to improve C and while not everybody agrees that all they have done are improvements, making concurrency easier most certainly is one.

Probably you're finding it simple because your Gulp build script does nothing more than defer to Rollup - a module bundler like Webpack - to handle JavaScript bundling. You're literally just using Gulp to watch the file system and kick off either cssimport or Rollup on changes, which you barely even need Gulp to do.

Plus there's no incremental building - all CSS or JS is rebuilt on every save, your server doesn't build the project when it starts and it can't do things like hot module replacement or CSS injection - the latter of which BrowerSync can do.

I'm guessing you're using this on your smaller personal projects, where doing a complete rebuild on every save is fast enough not to be an issue, and reloading the page on every change won't be a pain when experimenting with new features or debugging complicated UI issues.

>> Now this new thing comes up. It's also rare you, can store it perfectly securely without anyone knowing that you do.

> That doesn’t describe bitcoin.

Yes it does. You can buy it on exchange (or buy a miner and mine it yourself paying with electricity) and transfer it to your wallet. Encrypt the wallet and put it in multiple places online with cryptic name.

If you ever need money you can download it, decrypt it, send btc to exchange, sell it and get the money.

My point is that between the moment you buy bitcoin and moment you need the money nobody knows you have any bitcoins. Exchange or mining pool will know of course if you got your bitcoin from them but that's about it. Also you can mine other cryptocurrency with just your own hardware even just GPU that you conceivably could have bought to play games (no need for mining pool) and exchange it anonymously, then nobody knows you have any BTC.

>> You can sell any fraction of it to highest bidder on Earth, from your home and that only requires you trusting sigle third party that trades over billion dollar's worth of this stuff every 24h.

Tax-Free Bitcoin-To-Ether Trading in US to End Under GOP Plan
It's not a bad song, but it's way longer than I thought. And it's got like a dip in the middle.
D.C.'s metro is plagued with problems: didn't stay on top of upkeep, no dedicated funding, semi-unworkable governance, service cuts in the last couple years. We just exited a year long "Safe Track" maintenance program earlier in 2017, but they weren't able to get nearly enough done and service on many lines in the evening will still often be 20-25 minute headways with single tracking for additional maintenance. During rush hour, it will fairly often be an 8+ minute wait for a train in some core stations. . . it's crazy. Having grown up in and around Chicago, I would take the L+Metra over the Metro any day. Every time I go home to visit friends and family I'm reminded of how disappointing transit is in the nation's capital.

If you're out in the evenings or need to work early in the morning on the weekends you're also out of luck. Train service ends early Sunday-Thursday, and starts late Saturday-Sunday. Going to a concert is an eternal crapshoot, the last train on our line during the week can be as early as 10PM. This all disproportionately affects service workers and people without consistent access to personal transit as well, which bothers me on a more fundamental level than the personal inconvenience in my life; I perceive it as a failure of the urban social contract.

Also, LA is basically the only one of the largest American cities that is actually expanding their system in a meaningful and relatively quick way. Alexandria (where I live) has been trying to get an infill station in Potomac Yards added for something like 20+ years.

The reason to have citizens own guns is so the population can't be bullied by a totalitarian state, whether foreign or domestic. Guns democratize the use of violence. Sure, militaries can nuke cities, but only if they want to rule over a sheet of glass. Tanks and air superiority can win battles, but they can't stop the occupied population from assembling. To subjugate a populace, to keep them under your boot without outright killing them, you need infantry or police on the ground, and rifles in everybody's hands is a nightmare for such an occupying force.

More people will die of murder and suicide in an armed society, but it's the price we pay to protect against an existential threat to our culture's way of life, which in aggregate is more important than the tens of thousands of lives lost every year to gun violence. It's not good enough to just say that a disarmed society is safer. You have to show how we can have equal protection against a government run amok without guns. So far as I know, there's nothing equal. Human history is quite long. I don't think it's a coincidence that the number of democracies in the world exploded so very close to the same time in our history that guns became widely available and cheap enough for average citizens to own. Be careful about tearing down a foundational pillar of what keeps governments in check. This isn't some abstract fear. It's tangible, and it's already happened repeatedly.
I’m looking forward to Amazon Fargate which is less extreme than Lambda but still server less in some sense. Basically you can still write proper apps (Spring Boot apps in my case) but, so long as you containerize them, you don’t have to provision servers, just tell Amazon what resources they need and how many instances you want.

"You also can sue the manufacturer if a train runs a red because the LED broke"

FYI, MTA operating procedures require trains to stop when a signal is not lighted, then coordinate by radio before proceeding. There is also a defense-in-depth strategy: the interlocking maintains 4 red signals between trains, so a collision in theory would require 4 failing signals, 4 failing stop arms (which automatically stop trains that ignore red signals) and a train operator ignoring the rules.

As with a lot of things, I believe in a balance. I agree that anonymity in a lot of areas are crucial; oppressive regimes, whistle-blowing, private/sexual preferences, whatever have you.

But as we've seen in the last year, complete anonymity and untraceability everywhere can have bad consequences; astro-turfing, smurfing, attention-ddos:ing, FUD, anti-net neutrality-comment identity theft.

In some of these cases a central e-ID (which a lot of nations have) could have mitigated those issues, in others, not so.

Ideas should live on their own merit, in which case the identity of the source is irrelevant, but (pardon my French) idiots make the case that logic and merit of ideas don't take center stage. In those cases I believe it's kind of relevant to know if you're buying into group think that is 80% bots, 5% trolls, 5% adversarial agents, etc.

Anonymity is one solution to the problem of being able to keep dissenting opinions, but a solution with severe side effects. Transparency with a strong protection of freedom of ideas is another route.

I guess to put it succinctly: I don't need to know the names or faces of the people I carry conversations with, only that they're real, unique people. It shouldn't matter, but recent history shows otherwise.
I think it's fair to say that Go was hardly the first language to implement the concept of coroutines[1]. Probably the only merit of Go here is the short and convenient name of the 'run' method.

I think my math is pretty good... for an undergrad at least. Problem is that the barrier for contributing meaningful research in ML theory is higher than in applied ML haha. Anybody can read an applied paper like resnet and get the main idea.

I do agree that I think strong generalization is a problem that definitely needs to be solved.

As for validation through empirical results, I think this Reddit comment is pretty enlightening on the topic. https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/7i1uer/n_y...

Basically, we need empirical results to know what kind of theoretical models are useful to study. Otherwise, we fall into the trap where we assumed that non-convex surfaces are basically impossible to analyze. I think he draws a very cogent comparison to statistical physics.

I'm not sure you could do exactly that even with Stylish as there's no way in CSS to match elements based on their style - you could define a global font-weight just by adding this to "chrome/userContent.css" in your profile directory, but that would override every font-weight on every element:

That's why I added (questionable).

I've made the mistake at one company of thinking that my job was to architect solid software that was sustainable for the long term.

What they really wanted was to have software that was "good enough" and had all of the checkbox features to be attractive to potential acquirers so the investors would stop breathing down their necks.
> You're the second person. When was the last time you encountered anyone using KLOC's (per 1k lines of code) as a measurement of work done? Are they working on mainframe codebases?

The DOD and their "experts" love measuring software projects this way. They even take the cost/LOC ratio as a measure of value. I was once semi-seriously chastised for committing a change with net negative LOC because it broke the formula and implied negative value.
I would say the main advantage is being able to pass couroutine arguments as if it was a simple function. In other coroutine implementations in C (e.g. libtask) you have to make a struct containing all the args and pass that to the run function.
