> looks like you're disagreeing with the idea that theft is theft

I don't. If you're reading that into what I said that's on you.

A mass murder will commit fewer crimes in solitary confinement. That does not mean solitary confinement makes them a better person, or not a murder. It simply prevents future murders. So, the concepts are independent.
the only problem/wierdness might happen with -> is if switch will return a lambda. i.e. case "Foo" -> () -> "newfoo"
looks silly at first. well scala supports that and it looks strange at first but in functional programming, these patterns aren't as strange as they first look.
Yeah, but return gives the value of an expression and break is a control flow keyword.

> The other name for big-endian is "network order", after all.

I wonder where this started... I always suspected it was Sun with their "The Network is the Computer" motto, and of course they would define "network byte order" as what they used.

Today, it drives me crazy that we're constantly swapping before sending across the network and then swapping again when it's received.
You reminded me of this comment (www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/comments/19qonw/any_advice_on_how_to_get_remotivated_for_studying/c8qia6b) on reddit. I wish I'd have read that sooner.
Fair point, but that's then no different to Tether.
I have trouble understanding what you're saying here:

> They've developed a prioritization process for picking which take items ordered _later_ via prime and picks them first.

What I meant to say is that with prime the order is shipped within hours, when without it takes days and it seems to be calculated toward the end of of the time range, but still so it will arrive before the deadline.

Actually any items that are not fulfilled by Amazon are delivered much faster when you don't have prime. When you do it is the reverse, which feels suspicious.

Yes, there's no way for me to completely prove, but statistically without prime items arrive at the later date of the spectrum given, but they also never late than the date given. This could be explained that when deadline approaches they start treating my order as if it was higher priority, but then that would still prove my point.
I'm not going to beat around the bush here, there was speculation about what might be behind this sudden push for isolating kernel page-tables, but what really blew the lid was AMD outlining the specific details of the vulnerability in a pull request.

Everyone here acted responsibly except AMD, who broke embargo so they could force a response from Intel at CES and sell more processors.

Sort of like how people vote up or down comments based on how much they agree or disagree?

The masses will vote down the news sources with opposing opinions, and vote up the news sources that already support their opinions. Only a minority of people seek integrity of truth, and even then you can never expect a fully unprejudiced outlook.

It smells absurd to me.

Well, the article has photos. So unless it is your claim that the photos are fake or were taken during the time the store was closed to customers, I can tell you it looks worse than a 4th grade chain that sells barely passable products.

Apologies, had to post that.
A Jacobian is often used in optimisation. In machine learning, optimisation is often relabelled "learning", because they're finding the minimum of a cost function, also sometimes called an error function.

You may have heard of backpropagation. Backprop is merely a convenient way to compute the Jacobian of a feed-forward neural network. The Jacobian computed by backprop is then used to pick a line search direction to minimise the network's error.

Put it another way, a Jacobian is kind of a multidimensional gradient. It tells you in which multidimensions a function is changing the most rapidly.
If the problem is too much spoiled stock, wouldn't it be simpler and easier to implement a dynamic-pricing system, where the price of a product starts going down automatically (say, every 6 hours) starting two weeks before the product is marked to be spoiled? I've seen shops do this manually, but it usually only happens when they have a lot of stock of the same product that's about to go bad, so they sell 2-for-1 or something like that.

That brings to the forefront a feeling that I have noticed in the back of my mind recently: I notice ads that many people don't since I've tried to de-advertise my content consumption. Hulu/Spotify ads breaking up episodes/songs annoy me more than ever, perhaps increasing this cascading failure that the article features.

We don't have a sweet corn glut that I'm aware of. We do of course have a dent corn glut - but you're not buying that at a grocery store.

Oh yes I agree strong leaders like I've described with the power to change society can be bad. Change is not always good. But a qualified technocrat will not ever change anything much, for better or for worse. Why change a system that worked perfectly for you? That you thrived in? Where you can do a bunch of spreadsheets in your off time comparing private insurance plans and cleverly pick the best one for you and save money, and if you screw up, your child's hospital visit isn't covered and you are instantly homeless! How fun! If you want change, don't pick the Harvard valedictorian "wonk".

They will suggest policies like: what if instead of feeding the hungry we define a specific income bracket adjusted dynamically to the purchasing power parity of... and in the first three words you've already lost 99% of the population who thinks it's unnecessarily complicated because it is: they're turning a moral issue into a technical one because they've been trained to do technical analysis and to not see things in moral terms, rather, to shift numbers around in spreadsheets. They are wholly incapable of stepping back and recognizing that the spreadsheet itself is wrong, not technically wrong, but morally wrong: that simpler is better, that universal programs (like roads, NHS) are better than means-tested ones, that these things which are simple moral imperatives should be able to be explained simply.
That's not an general option that will have good societal outcomes, if you apply the categorical imperative. The US would rocket ahead from its current lead in infant mortality.
> "Did you find everything that you were looking for?"

They don't do that at the store I go to anymore either but it has nothing to do with inventory (which as I mentioned in another comment is the same as it's always been). Could be that they just discovered that it had little upside but some downside. As a customer I sometimes get annoyed being asked that question all the time.
People already use return if the switch is the last statement in a function, so, all this "sugar" is only confusing, inconsistent, and not improving the readability or the learning curve.

There are Amazon (Not FBA) listings for Morphie products.

Are you saying that Amazon themselves bought and stocked counterfeit Morphie products?
That's not what I am saying. Bank vaults among other things prevent many bank robberies. If someone does not rob a bank then they are not a bank robber.

The above says nothing about people who do rob banks.
First of all, thank you for the thoughtful response; I imagine we would have to converse at length to full establish what we agree on, but anyway the real value is in the process. I by no-means identify as a "libertarian", but I am familiar with some of the principles and give them consideration when pondering political issues.

>Libertarians clearly want less power concentrated at a central level

The phrase "less power" is a little vague; to be precise, libertarians want the government to enforce the rights of the citizens, and to otherwise leave them alone. The population does this by collectively granting authority to the government to deal out force legally; the only exception, for the most part, is an individual using force in self-defence. This is the fundamental principle, I believe, on which libertarians base their thinking.

>I think it would be a fair statement that libertarians favor a strong family unit

Absolutely. Though, at the same time, I would wager than purists would not support government legislation that specifically favours the traditional family unit, tax-breaks etc.

>Households run in ways that are almost entirely communist. So why should this non-profit collaboration stop at the front door?

In order for a society to even attempt to be unified, we must first agreed on a set of axioms, shared-truths. We may take for granted that the bond an individual has with their own kin is stronger than that with others. While we can imagine an entirely communistic network where one's personal wealth is equally shared amongst all, it practically cannot work because humans are simply not built that way. There is enough historical data to suggest that it cannot be done. It is morally untenable because it relies on forcefully compelling people to share their resources, where it is given voluntarily in a healthy family setting.

Furthermore, it is debatable wether or not libertarians recuse themselves from their responsibility to be a force for good in the world, and to be charitable; they merely ask to not be forcefully compelled to do so, as this violates the non-aggression principle. The success of the libertarian approach to charity hinges on lessened taxation and regulation creating an environment of unparalleled prosperity and abundance, in which communities will humanely seek to better the world around them.

I think my above points about the governments role in dealing out force legally, which addresses much of the rest of your post. Empowering local and state government is certainly and immediate goal of the libertarian movement.
Update on Twitter’s Review of the 2016 U.S. Election
You could identify 0 with some other point to get a topology where {0} is not a Borel set anymore.

A somewhat more useful example would be to identify x with x+1 for all x (or equivalently use the topology on R induced by the map t -> e^2&pi;it from R to S^1), which results in a topology where only periodic functions are continuous.

For a complete measure you get the additional requirement that 0 isn't allowed to be contained in any null-set.
Do you think that's because the developers lack power or it's because they don't really care?
mrustc would be another path here.
That is all fine and well until it isn't. I know of a couple who had their baby die on the short trip to the hospital because the "midwives" lacked even basic pediatric emergency care skills.

I think a lot of people are worried that being part of a bad union would be worse than no union at all, and existing unions don't seem like an obvious fit for tech jobs.

If there were a well-run union for tech workers that is responsive and accountable to its members and has a mission to negotiate in favor of goals that I share then I'd be interested in joining.
In India, there are small boutique hospitals that solve this very problem (e.g. https://www.cloudninecare.com/; https://www.motherhoodindia.com/; http://ovumhospitals.com/ and hundreds more in every city). I have always been so surprised by how "broken" maternity is in the U.S. and just how overtly "scammy" some of the things are e.g. if one needed breast-pumps, there is a 'company representative' that would deliver it to your hospital room and you get charged separately - by the company - and nurses get a kick-back; There is a nexus of private practitioners roaming the hospital wards helping mom's with early care - most of them looking for 'repeat business', after one is discharged. This is from experience in San Francisco. Not to mention the 'baby-product-industrial-complex' where one is convinced that highly special, safe and pink or blue colored equipment is needed for baby care. So there is a LOT of money made in the U.S. from every birth by a vast nexus of companies. Just the product choices one is forced to make drives millions of panicked google searches a year (with 'listicle-focused-SEO-hog-blogs' feeding off of this) -- just to search for the "right" equipment. Why can't just one company consolidate this -- and offer a one-stop-solution? Naked Capitalism is on its full-show during the birth process in America. It is indeed very strange.

Finland has 'baby boxes' delivered by the govt: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22751415

The reason for this comment is that HN has a 'startup' bent to it, so I hope some entrepreneur just Warby-Parkers (is it a verb?) the baby birth process. There is definitely room for massive simplification. Make each decision simple -- that alone is a giant opportunity.
You might be saying this in jest but his statement is totally valid if he is a manager.

The level of abstraction you are working on matters. A manager can't just build a great business either. But for example if he encounters legal trouble, he can just hire lawyers to fix it.

His interface to the world is via delegation to people who can solve his subproblems competently and consistently. There's still a "surprising amount of detail" but at a higher abstraction level and solved with different tools(a really strong "biological" AI that can resolve and prevent the details from bubbling up :P).
That's true, but the system seems to be a lot more controlling than just that:

But more than that, the encoding used in 10GBASE-T doesn't allow decoding individual bytes. For the usual copper standard, it's 4 pairs with 7 bits per symbol, and the skew between lanes means you can't count on corresponding symbols arriving at the same time. And then there's a reed-solomon block code to correct errors, which has to be decoded all at once. The optical standards use 64b/66b coding, which means you receive blocks of 66 bits and decode 64 out of them (which prevents having too many zeros in a row which can disrupt timing.)
That just means you should not give someone the test every year.

At 70 people have a much higher risk of cancer than 7. Long term smokers have higher risks than non smokers. Combine multiple risk factors and find groups with 5+% risk of these kinds of cancers is not that difficult.

My household probably gets 4-5 packages from Amazon a week. Over the past half decade, I've received maybe 2 obviously counterfeit products.

If I've gotten anything else that was counterfeit, it was a good enough reproduction for me not to notice.

But some people might be buying items exclusively in categories where the rate is higher? I don't know. I buy a lot of electronics and electronic accessories off of Amazon, and that seems to be what others complain about being bad.
They've been doing that for a long time. Just... slowly.

I have an xmos board(xcore architecture), although llvm has a backend for it, it is missing debugging support for timing analysis(XTA) and also outdated so potentially missing on various size optimizations.

Even ignoring that, because llvm instruction set mismatch between versions, i can't feed the rust generated IR to their firmware generating tool.

If you see their language xC(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XC_(programming_language), it extends C with various pointer types(restricted, movable, alias) for memory safety. Rust definitely is a good fit for this kind of development with borrow checker, traits etc.

>> It is interesting that programmers (as a whole) seem resistant to it

Software developers and people in IT are probably two orders of magnitude more likely to be libertarian / anarcho-capitalist and conservative in economic views than your average union worker in another field. That's definitely a large impact as well.
This is a good argument for why we should reject meta-narratives for how the world should work. Capitalism (and/or consumerism?) is one such narrative. Ignore or criticize data points that don't fit the meta-narrative. In that sense, Scandinavian policy is light years ahead, as it is pragmatic and have reasonably high amounts of evidence-driven policy (disclaimer, i live in Sweden).
The client incrementally builds a search index, encrypts it using an appropriate random access encryption primitive, and writes it to the cloud encrypted. At search time it reads as necessary from the encrypted index. (This allows some light traffic analysis; if you can't tolerate that the client can store a copy of the entire index)
FWIW, I share your feelings regarding prioritizing this. In general, it's something we want, but we're still discussing what the overall goals for this year will be. We'll see!

"The former needed two 16 core servers just to process I/O and deserialize the messages; the latter used 1 core on a single server."

I made this point [1] about the latest side-channel attacks: mixing various kinds of activities -- business and pleasure, familiar and unknown, critical and discretionary -- on the same computer is bad hygiene, at least with the sort of computers that are widespread today, and we ought to lift that conversation into the mainstream to point out the deficiencies of contemporary technology in the light of users' expectations and demands.

A robust defense against the likes of Meltdown and the likes of Word macros is to perform the work in an environment from which the context of execution cannot escape, and cannot cause the infiltration of data into itself by exfiltrating it from a sibling or a neighbor. Historically the most successful way of achieving this is to use separate hardware, but that's a burden most users won't accept.

I think part of it is because the gap between the skill floor and ceiling is absolutely gargantuan. Unions work best when the skill gap is narrow, and ascension to different levels easily measurable.

The more I think about it, software engineering is almost completely antithetical to the idea of unions. Traditional engineers have so much structure around their fields because the laws of physics govern a large part of their craft. Not so with SE.
Whew! ;-)
Based on the recent YT comments on his videos (and the titles of clip compilations of his lectures), the alt-right definitely appear to hold him up as some figure head.

I definitely get frustrated when I hear people on the left call him dangerous. I feel like these aren't even "alt" left people either, it sounds like they are largely plain old liberals who never heard of him, and blindly toss him in with the like of Steve Bannon.
That's the thing... I'm not conservative by any stretch of the imagination, though I am often mistaken for one; I enjoy listening to people like Jordan Peterson and even Ben Shapiro because they are excellent debaters and can make solid arguments. I can't think of anyone on the other side of the political spectrum who can even come close in that regard, although I would love for someone to give me some examples.
