Phaedra from Promise was rude to mewithout provocation
I wanted to talk to her after hearing her presentation today. However, in the middle of me greeting her and saying how I admired the mission which is why I wanted to talk to her, she rolled her eyes and ignored me to start talking to the person next to me. Then ignored me while she tried to recruit the guy next to me.
This unequal treatment was rude and I want to call it out here.
Also, they capture all ranges of behavior. Glazed over look? Suspicious. Intently paying attention to everything? Suspicious. Friendly? Suspicious. Cold to agents? Suspicious.

Why replicate the same calculation with the same errors? Shouldn't it be specified as a pure math formula somewhere, probably in the contacts? So they did it slightly wrong for a long time, but why would that be the reference instead of the contract.

I have proposed a solution to this: have the snippet self-hashed and verify with multiple sources. eg:

A=$(curl -L https://get.rvm.io);echo "$A" | shasum -a 256 | grep -q 05b6b5f164d4df5aa593f9f925806fc1f48c4517daeeb5da66ee49e8562069e1 && (echo "$A")

I don't recall the data supporting this, do you have any?

In many ways, being able to say that is also what's cool about Pinkers book. Sure, it doesn't reference all studies ever done, but it does attempt to argue what worked and what didn't.

With JavaSpaces I remember really getting burned by the lack of queuing fairness guarantees. The ideas were nice- but execution was very laggy.
Imho it should be:

But I don’t think it is impossible to build an 808 that would fool even the most seasoned experts.

Because there are synts with built in imperfections that are very good.

I also believe some synths synthesize the electronic components instead of the sound.

They weren't trying to replace the system, just emulate it for testing and simulation purposes: e.g. test how new rates would affect existing policy holders.

Insurance policies (the contracts) just have final premiums (sometimes they might split it out by risk), but they don't typically explain how the insurer arrived at that number.

A car is (or should be) designed to last many decades of service. It may have complex systems, but it's 2018, they should have diagnostic interfaces and service manuals at least as good as pinball machines from the 80s. Full time functionality monitoring and reporting, self tests, etc should be table stakes.

Everything should have a diagnostic procedure and a replacement procedure. All of the other car companies manage to do at least that, and they also somehow manage to make replacement parts available too. As a bonus of the internet age, you can publish updated service manuals when unexpected failures are found and a diagnostic procedure and recommended remediation are built.

Bad software updates should be fixable by flashing a known good version. I don't expect to have support for 3rd parties to modify firmware to make fixes (but one could hope).

If the engine in my out of warranty vehicle breaks, I can (attempt) to fix it myself, bring it to an independent mechanic to fix it or replace it (again, myself or others). If I value the coolness of my car over time and money, I can even replace a functional engine with something better, for some value of better, and subject to environmental regulations.
SRDI – Shellcode Implementation of Reflective DLL Injection
While I agree the lack of repair documentation and available spare parts is a concern, Isn't the whole point of integration (at least on a chip/board level) to increase reliability?

I'm a mechanical engineer masquerading as a software developer so I could be talking out my ass, but I'm fairly sure that board failure rate is proportional to the amount of discrete components on said board.

An earlier article/discussion about the same study:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17562972
> Apple makes money from selling hardware, not from selling an OS

This reasoning is overused and wrong.

Apple's hardware is no good for other operating systems, it doesn't run well with either Linux or Windows, the support being shitty due to Apple's proprietary stuff. As an example the experience with the touchpad becomes much poorer and the battery life is reduced to about half.

Running Windows or Linux well puts Apple in the commodity hardware market and that's what they tried to avoid ever since Steve Jobs came back.

So as a matter of fact they do sell MacOS as a core part of the package and they don't intend for it to be replaceable. Just like they sell iOS. It's not like you can install another operating system on their iPhones and iPads. Those devices don't even belong to consumers that bought them actually. All you're getting is a license to use them.

Apple is definitely not in the hardware business. What they sell is licenses.

> Your example, while certainly a good one, is from 1943, rather late considering the empire would start shrinking and decolonizing in 45.

Again, as mentioned, I gave the 1943 example to point out how recent such colonial actions and attempts at ethnic cleansing were. There are people alive today who suffered through that.

There's ample examples of other genocides via famine performed by the English against ethnic groups they were subjugating at the time. For one closer to home, lets look at the English activity behind the Irish famine.

https://www.irishcentral.com/news/proving-the-irish-famine-w...

Baronet Charles Trevelyan was one of the engineers behind that famine. Interestingly enough he had honed his skills of bulk-murder in India.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Charles_Trevelyan,_1st_Bar...

"The real evil with which we have to contend is not the physical evil of the Famine, but the moral evil of the selfish, perverse and turbulent character of the people"

"Famine is an effective mechanism for reducing surplus population"

As usual, such individuals used all manner of tools to justify the genocide of any ethnic group they deemed "inferior". In this case, the Irish. It is telling that one of the major tools was that precise instrument of religion with Trevelyan even describing the famine and subsequent mass death as an instrument of God.
Aren't keyserver lookups usually keyed off a 32-bit key ID though? (Whose space isn't big enough to avoid someone brute-force generating a key with a certain key ID s.t. you think you got the right key.) You're supposed to check the fingerprint, but you need to get the fingerprint, and for that you need a secure channel, and you're right back to square one.

For that matter, where did you get the key ID.
Fair enough. That's disheartening, but so it goes. Terminator is fine enough, but iTerm was particularly awesome. Appreciate the response.

Linux is not the minimum viable OS. We have a lot of different situations where an OS can be much simpler, offering a limited set of functions or offloading multiple functionalities to different systems.

As pointed out before, mainframes have OSs that are exceedingly simple from the program's point of view and that offer a limited set of functions in exchange for extreme performance and stability.

Glances is a very sleek tool, but it comes at a cost: CPU usage.

As a ballpark measurement, running htop for 60s with a 3s refresh interval takes 0.2s of user time. Running glances (even with almost all modules plugins disabled) for the same amount of time takes 6.7s of user time.

I still use glances every now and then, but I don't leave it running like I might with htop

Your quote doesn't contradict mine. Lewinsky does not think that what happened with her and WJC was OK, and she doesn't think that just because of how the press reacted.

Regarding the word "corroborate": "to strengthen by evidence" would do nicely.
It's better to think of tuple spaces as a concurrency / communications model than an implementation. So it's more like "the actor model" rather than Erlang's or Java/Akka's specific implementation of it. It's more about "if we had this type of system with these constraints and these features, abstracting away these details, what would we gain or lose?". You're right that in the end a good or bad implementation can make or break things (take a look at this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.02979), but that's not the point, at least with the original paper.

The interesting thoughts from the paper as far as I can see were: 1) Tuple spaces are programming language or architecture or program independent, and vastly different programs can communicate with each other 2) You don't communicate directly to other agents by address, you write to a topic and read from a topic, which is a form of decoupling producers and consumers 3) The "block when nothing to read in this topic" idea, which makes programming coordination SO easy. I guess it's a bit like unix pipes.

If tuple spaces don't seem that interesting and novel, it's probably because of the benefit of hindsight and that a lot of these ideas are so subsumed into the tools of today. I can't definitively make the claim that Linda is the cause of this, but I suspect it had some effect. I think the original author also had a lot of wacky ideas around "cyberspace" and all that, but that's another deal and I don't think it's why people find the Linda paper interesting now. The closest useful descendants of Linda to be seem to be modern Pub / Sub systems or coordination databases like RabbitMQ, Kafka, Zookeeper.
The New Behaviorism
To be honest, I found that and the coccolith pictures quite unpleasant/uncomfortable to look at --- it could be because I'm somewhat trypophobic, since they caused me to feel the same "brain-melting" sensation and have the similar characteristic of many almost-regular-but-irregular edges. The "neural network dream" generated images did the same thing to me; I feel my brain heat up and sweat a little.

In contrast, something like a box of gears or related machinery parts, which theoretically is also full of edges, doesn't provoke the same feeling...
Don’t be obtuse.
There's a norovirus vaccine which just completed stage 1 trials[0]. Cool part about it is that it isn't an injection, just a pill you swallow.

It is worth noting that norovirus and rotavirus aren't the only common "stomach bugs" but being immune against both is still a big win.

edit: Just want to add, I'm not dissing on this research. The more separate efforts there are for a safe effective norovirus vaccine the less likely they are to ALL fail. I've just been watching this space closely because I want to be the first in line when someone's vaccine ships.

I'd like to point out that the author is not directly discrediting shell pipes.

> a knowledgable user will most likely check the content first

The obvious workaround would be to download with curl, inspect, then run the virtually same inspected file through bash. This workflow is easier without necessarily using pipes. Package files can also be inspected before running and are not directly inspected in the browser.

Trust on the other hand is more complicated. Without doing tedious manual inspecting, you have to rely on the distributor. In this case, public keys aid in this regard, but also does not work with the `curl | bash` workflow.
They do, however it is easy to miss the 'bulk' rush. Which is to say that the bulk of the people using Amazon aren't particularly careful so they just click the 'buy it' link and never think twice about it.

As a result the services suffer, and they will continue to do so which then opens up a niche for a new seller to come along. Ebay has suffered the same cyle.
If that's the case then why does none of their fancy equipment detect drugs? Why are their canine units not trained to alert on drugs?
It doesn't take ridiculous confidence to analyze shell scripts. In the hundreds of scripts I have read, few were more than 100 lines long. It shouldn't take more than 60 seconds (probably 30 or less) to mentally build a list of all possible operations a short script can perform. Bourne shell scripts don't have much room to hide surprising behavior, and when they do, it immediately stands out. If they are permanently installed, and invoked later by other parts of the system, then they may need more probing, but we're talking about installation scripts.

.deb and .dmg can be easily extracted. The former is just an `ar` archive containing tarballs, which you can (and should) extract to read the install scripts. (.dmg specifics escape me, since I only dealt with them one time, years ago.)

Binary code isn't inscrutable. Some good tools for this are, among many, many more, IDA, Hopper, and radare2. How long this takes depends on what your goals are, how comprehensive you are, and the program complexity. I don't think I've yet spent years on one project, fortunately, but the months-long efforts, for undoing some once-prominent copyright protection systems, were pretty brutal. Smaller programs have taken me just several hours to appropriately examine.
What's at issue is the right to an abortion.

Regarding "the law put the health of the mother first" - prove it. Because my reading of the law says that you are 180° in the wrong.

Here's the change to the law: https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=87&ba=H-8...

Notice how the text removes these clauses:

> Compliance with the prerequisites of this section shall not apply to any of the following: a. An abortion performed to save the life of a pregnant woman. .. c. The performance of a medical procedure by a physician that in the physician’s reasonable medical judgment is designed to or intended to prevent the death or to preserve the life of the pregnant woman

as well as specific rejection of mental health issues as a basis for an abortion in the new text:

> Medical emergency” means a situation in which an abortion is performed to preserve the life of the pregnant woman whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy, but not including psychological conditions, emotional conditions, familial conditions, or the woman’s age.

This reduces the importance of the health of the mother, and specifically excludes mental heath - just like the ACLU link I gave says it does.

"The left is freaking out" because of the decades of successful efforts to chip away at abortion rights in the US, staring with Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992.

> Tesla's stance on rebuilding vehicles is that only they should be able to do it

I had no idea they had this kind of stance -- is there any more nuance to it?

If there isn't I cannot conscience supporting Tesla in any way again -- there's no way I'm going to help a company that disregards/works against right-to-repair get a monopoly. Just the same reason I avoid buying iDevices.
Re dosages - I recently found melatonin in liquid / dropper bottle form at one of my local drugstores, intended to be mixed into a glass of water or similar. The "dosage" is 1 mg, but that requires 4 droppers - so a single dropper is 250 µg, and it's very easy to do less than that (although not with much accuracy).

If you don't want to buy from some online nootropics store just to get a 300µg dose, check your local drugstore or vitamin store for liquid melatonin, and read the label and see how much each dropper is.

I just took a ~half-dropper with a glass of water because I'm still up. Good night!

Calling it obviously true is a big stretch. The comment was:

My hypothesis is that leading the whole engineering organization to understand the unity of the product is not the role of engineering managers, nor of the C-level execs, but specifically of the PMs. Can anyone point me to literature/blogs/etc. that support or refute this hypothesis?

Lots of companies take different approaches here. I've worked for startups where this has come from the c-suite, lead developers or product managers. I would like to learn more about this too.
To clarify, I don't recommend it. Just giving food for thought.
Ok, a poor man's supercomputer then ;). I think such projects are great to experiment with parallel computing, get experience with ARM, and just plain fun.
I have programmed in lots of languages over a couple of decades long career, including FORTRAN and COBOL, etc. But I wouldn't consider myself to be a polyglot - I only consider myself reasonable with C, JS and Python. It is my ability to fully comprehend requirements, design solutions, document everything that is the core of my success. Whether I write much code or act as a team leader is a project specific issue.

I hold very serious concerns about any project that requires the use of 6+ languages. Even in an enterprise setting with lots of legacy systems, I would expect different people to be competent with subsets of all the languages in use.

Go is an excellent language with a rapidly growing ecosystem. It might be a good strategy for you to be known as the Go expert instead of a jack of all languages who is not an expert in any of them. Besides it is not the language, it is the libraries, the tools and the ecosystem that takes a lot of effort to be competent with.
This program sounds like a huge, irresponsible waste of public resources. However I don’t exactly see how merely being observed in public amounts to the dystopian surveillance state this article seems to imply. Is going unnoticed in public reasonably considered to be a right? I would suggest the problem here is the extent of resources that are wasted by the government watching the innocuous behavior of arbitrary people in an airport.

Buying a double edge razor was one of my best life decision. I'm still running on the 150 blades that I bought 1.5 years ago. I'm shaving 1-3 times a week and mostly keep the same blade for 2-6 shaves
