Scientists examined the remains of 52 adults who had lived between roughly 12,000 and 13,000 B.C. and were buried in the cave. An astonishing 49 of them, or 94%, had cavities, which affected more than half of the surviving teeth.
"hot" doesn't necessarily mean new: Amazon also wasn't new on the stock markets, but it was on a clear upwards trend, as was Apple. Apple had iPhones/iPads, entirely new worlds, Microsoft had ... yet another Windows?
Not sure if you're asking literally, but 'oriented' (or I'd normally write 'orientated' myself) means something like 'aligned around'. Object orientated programming is a programming model aligned around objects as the central concept. As opposed to aligned around procedures, or functions, or aspects, or something else.
When I got the first Macbook Pro Retina in 2012, I would get ~10 hours on OSX. The newest ones I can't get ~4 hours from...

I also got the first Macbook 12" and I would get better battery life running Windows 10 than I would OSX. Windows 10 I would get ~12 hours or so. Windows 10 on the Macbook Pro drained the battery quickly though because you couldn't switch to integrated graphics.
But - but - but - software is indistinguishable from magic!
Ha, I see that your .vimrc is almost identical to mine in functionality, even if mine is riddled with mostly superfluous additions and lots of comments. What you've got there though is probably what I would consider the core things I would need to set in vim to get my desired experience on a new workstation if I didn't have my own .vimrc to download, all the way down to the number of spaces for expanded tabs.

The rest of the stuff I have boils down to history size, a fixup for backspace in insert, default paste mode and quick key to toggle it, how far from margins to start scrolling, and turning off swap files so editing very large files is easier. Oh, and the Pathogen init stuff, for which I have usually have no modules installed (but I test out stuff occasionally), but there it sits.
Damn. This is the most coherent discussion of the Internet's impact that I've ever seen. Yes, it's a little smug. And it's long. But it's well worth the read.

And hey, it's kept me from commenting for several hours, as I've read it in breaks from work.
Do you think their code has reached the level of large industrial standard parts?

Is the level of programmers as standardized as that of blue-collar workers?

I don't think their production methods meet the standards of large industrial production: simple, consistent, standard, Pipeline, repeatable, linear expansion.
That book appears to be the personal notes of Solita Solano, which are mentioned in the article. This bit is hilarious:

Gurdjieff has given them some “special liquor chocolates”, and Jane Heap, thinking to flatter Gurdjieff, says to him: “Every day in your house is Christmas.” Gurdjieff replies with this remarkable repartee: “Excuse! Twice a day in my house is Christmas. Look, Mees Gordon, she wish belittle me!”
Forget About Plan B If You Want Your Startup to Succeed
It's as much about banging as programming is: safe occupation, above average income, signalling good provider. Or any sport. Or any other activity if we start describing them that way. But if you join a social dance scene with that perspective, you're likely to just annoy lots of people. On average, they're not there for banging and have their own existing relationships. A cigar is sometimes just a cigar :-)
i changed my primary news feed to Microsoft News. As silly as it might sound, they've done a way better job than others of putting positive news articles in the feed. When I was using Google News, which I can only assume tailored news to my previous viewing habits, I kept coming up with the same types of angry, depressing, divisive topics. Microsoft has more mainstream sources, the occasional outlier, and more "good news" stories.

If I want deeper topics, I know where to look. I started looking at more tech news, but i stray away from sites that insisted on getting more and more political. I get really burnt out on the constant anti-Trump mentality.

Oh, and quit using Facebook. Curtailing facebook usage alone helped me out a lot.

> The obvious advantage being that biology scales an immeasurable amount better than whatever architectures we ever come up with.

Not sure what you mean by this.

In the general case, the hard part of "scaling" is building systems that are easy to reason about / maintain as the complexity / throughput increases.

Meanwhile, biology is notoriously difficult to reason about and maintain (think medicine).

Yes. The previous generation 15" MacBook Pro has a 99.5Wh battery. The 2016 & 2017 15" touchbar MacBook Pro has a 76Wh battery. The 2018 model was upgraded to 83.6Wh. Depending on which version you have, you get either 15% or 25% less battery than the older model.

Someone is apparently in NZ court for sharing the video as it is now deemed objectionable material.

http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO1903/S00171/sharing-shootin...

I can personally see the logic of this. This is not a video from an innocent bystander, but a video from a murderer designed to perpetuate hate. I'm generally anti-censorship, but I think this is a form of hate speech and society as a whole does not benefit from its dissemination.
Message passing in Java is basically joined at the hip with method calls, at least in the same thread. On new Foo(), you call .bar(), and then block until you get a response. Because you know .bar() is there before you ever call it, it's not super obvious what the message passing is.

Now imagine something like Erlang, which is a complete mind screw for someone used to writing sync code. The FooProcess can send the BarProcess an async message, but there is no guarantee the message got to BarProcess recieved the message, or that the BarProcess or that it will even be alive when the message arrives.

Maybe a good place to start is to read up on method_missing and message passing in Ruby.
I wouldn't call myself a Trump supporter. But then, there hasn't been a presidential candidate in decades who I could wholeheartedly support. And yet I do like some of his stated positions. Even though I don't trust him any more than I trusted Obama, Bush, Clinton or Reagan. Or much less, really.
I think I must be missing a detail, because it feels to me like your spooky example of peeking over the cubicle wall is in direct conflict with the idea that nobody can modify an object's mental state except by passing objects to it.

If you're really only allowed to communicate by passing messages, then, to me, that would imply that there's some sort of "no peeking" rule.
I disagree that it is not logical to point out the religious aspects of some of people that subscribe to intersectional ideology. I hope you can hear me out since you had such a vocal objection, and that you can point out flaws in my reasoning.

You might agree that creationists when expressing something resting on their faith might have some scientific methodology issues. I think we might agree that it is not illogical to point out that some research done by creationists have a religious overtone. Research outside their creationist dogma might not warrant such scrutiny.

Can you after watching the following two videos, which contains core thoughtleaders in intersectionality like DiAngelo, that intersectionality does not have a religious overtone? [1,2] If not, why not?

If so, why is it then illogical to point out that the authors are expressing something that to at least some degree seem to rely on intersectional dogma and that this has a religious overtone?

I'm the project lead for Matrix (and CEO of New Vector, the company which hires most of the core Matrix team) and can try to clarify this.

1. We don't have any hostility to alternative server implementations; it would be utterly idiotic to sabotage the project by doing so. Instead, we promote them, even when they're written by people who for whatever reason have issues with the project. For instance, if you look at https://matrix.org/blog/category/general/this-week-in-matrix... you can see us publishing almost weekly updates on Construct (the server written by the guy who is levelling the accusations here). Meanwhile, Construct appears to work well enough to talk to the rest of Matrix in practice.

2. Yup, there have been some security issues pre-1.0 in Matrix around federation, particularly around state resets (thinkos in the state merge resolution algorithm), event ID collision, incorrectly trusting potentially malicious DAG depth parameters, and issues around the perspectives logic. As far as we're aware, these have all been fixed now, or will be once everyone has migrated from perspectives to real TLS, as per the original article - hence us making a big noise about it with AreWeReadyYet.com. Most of the gory details are at: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1442, https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1659, https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1229 and
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1711 respectively. You can also see me talking through these issues one by one on the main stage at FOSDEM, starting around https://youtu.be/C2eE7rCUKlE?t=2035.

3. I can't remember the precise context where I said "good luck talking to your own federation", but I suspect it was the result of a disagreement over how federation should be designed - probably over whether DAG depth parameters should be calculated locally or proposed remotely and then validated. We chose one solution, there was a lengthy disagreement, my eventual response on giving up on the argument was "okay, if you want to do it the other way, good luck with that" or words to that effect.

For context, the guy levelling the accusations here is also responsible for maliciously exploiting the security issues on discovering them (e.g. https://matrix.org/blog/2018/06/14/security-update-synapse-0...). He is also banned from our github and the core-team chatrooms on Matrix after exhibiting pretty much every flavour of obnoxious and destructive behaviour, culminating with ad hominems against me and most of the individuals on the core team, illustrating his points with hardcore porn, and asking how we're going to compensate him for not launching further exploits. He's also filled up the network with sockpuppet accounts to spam his project (despite us, for better or worse, already promoting it on the weekly blog), and I'd assume he's also seeding sockpuppets on HN too.

So, TL;DR: whilst it's true that pre-1.0 we had some security issues around federation, we believe they are now fixed (or will be, once we've upgraded all the rooms to 1.0). Meanwhile, be aware that the complaints are coming from a deeply disingenuous and malicious source.
If you want to make the argument that two-spacing is legit for monospaced fonts in text editors, great. I'll buy it. But to claim that because HTML and LaTex exist that source and presentation are orthogonal concerns flies in the face of the fact that most text is created in Microsoft Word or something like it. I don't know how many installs of Vim are out there, but I'm guessing it's less than the 500 million plus installs of Word. This is the kind of tech-geek pedantry that just pisses me off. Should content and presentation be separate concerns? Yes. Are they, for 95% of the world's population? Not even close. Which case should you optimize for?
> Not exactly the kind of attitude I'd like to see from the stewards of an "open" protocol.

It depends on what exactly the complainant was proposing to change in the protocol.

There are no details in the link you provided about what was insecure about the protocol at that time, not to mention the proposed fixes. Is there another link for that?

> Not exactly the kind of attitude I'd like to see from the stewards of an "open" protocol.

Are you talking about the development process that led of the 1.0 protocol, or the spec itself?

From Wikipedia's article on Gurdjieff:

>> Gurdjieff taught that most humans do not possess a unified consciousness and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic "waking sleep", but that it is possible to awaken to a higher state of consciousness and achieve full human potential. Gurdjieff described a method attempting to do so, calling the discipline "The Work"[5] (connoting "work on oneself") or "the Method".[6] According to his principles and instructions,[7] Gurdjieff's method for awakening one's consciousness unites the methods of the fakir, monk and yogi, and thus he referred to it as the "Fourth Way".[8]

So, a typical charlatan selling spiritual enlightenment.
I don't know about the schools, but my impression of NoVA, from spending time there occasionally over the last two decades, is not that it needs more roads...
Now that you mention it, it does. Perhaps sadly enough.
It merely remains to fork and/or invent a language that otherwise looks almost exactly like Ruby but with message passing only.

It's not like their opinions are written on their foreheads. Hit on a woman on tinder she won't know. Hit on a woman in a bar she won't know. Clearly the rejection is for simply being unattractive.
I beg to differ. Functions are stateless things they should always return the same result for the same inputs. Methods on the other hand have access to the state of the object whose method you call and result of the method-call can depend on not only its arguments but also on the state of the recipient-object.

Of course depending on the language a keyword like "function" need not create something that always returns the same result for the same arguments. JavaScript for instance.

A method is "associated with" an object and has access to the private state of that object. Of course depending on the language that might differ but we are here talking about what is an "OO language".
It's truly geared more towards husband / wife, parents / kids. We think that having a system that provides prompts at the right time, for the tasks that matter, can be very powerful.

Personally, we're focused on a post UI world, where sms / voice + push mechanisms manage you...as opposed to tools that you have to manage yourself. It's really important that we build a relationship between the person designated to do the task and iPrompted.

More to come. Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, and wild oats and legumes don’t exactly seem like the exception in ancient diets.

Solving the collective action problem is a universal issue that is much bigger than the roads issue, and I agree that this is the main issue. But, were it to be solved, that wouldn't necessarily mean going down the same path of every other nation.

Some modern societies, like Denmark, have moved towards a less car-centric model, and it has worked. And just because prior societies that have developed high speed rail have done so after developing cars, that doesn't mean everyone else must do so in that order.

The concept of leapfrog development is that developing nations can save all the expense and trouble of intermediate solutions and skip right to the good solutions.

Cars are a failed god.
There's https://www.schneier.com/blog/ which is not probably not what you meant, exactly, and https://www.hanselman.com/blog/ because I'm a .net programmer. I mostly just come here for tech news and links to tech blogs.
On the other hand, I expect Python Cookbook to use requests, not urllib.
I got this in the other way: there is no actual redundancy even with the optional package, the new sensor is only used to compare inputs with the one used by the control system and warn the pilots if they disagree.

Pretty sure I'm misinterpreting things (I hope!).

In the other hand, if there are two sensors, what the control system does when they disagree and there is no hardware to show this to the pilots?
It seems like a few folks have been burned by the failure to put the spec before the implementation.

Another example: Kamax provides mxisd[1], the only federated identity server (the official identity server is/was controlled by vector, and doesnt openly federate). They had to give up on mxhsd[2], their home server implementation due to spec inadequacies, and ended up forking the spec into Grid[3]

I didn't get that from TFA either. If anything, the author seemed somewhat positive about the implications.
> Is it really so hard to understand that some people draw the line between the two things you mentioned?

I know that people draw a line, that’s implicit from me saying that people make the distinction between those two things. What I said was personally I don’t understand why they draw that line.

> news, or audiovisual documentation worthy of preserving as evidence of the events that have transpired.

They can archive and preserve it themselves, or using services that want to facilitate that, and be subject to whatever local laws may permit or prohibit that. As you said laws vary by jurisdiction.

The anger at FB for not wanting to be party to disseminating this video of a horrific crime really is hard to understand.
I think this really depends on the field. In mathematics, my field, you can argue that the work of various people is undervalued, but it's a bit harder to argue that certain theorems are overvalued. However, the metrics of evaluation for theorems are quite different than those for... 'demoware'...?

It depends on whether the system needs to be Fail-Safe or fault-tolerant.

But, yes. Most of these systems are not designed to be resilient to that class of issues, and just send control back to the operator.
Reminds me of some interesting papers that are related to this topic, off the top of my head check out [0-1]. Perhaps relative geodesics is a key word to search. If you picture curves as made out of some sort of pliable material, you can ask how much energy does it take to deform one curve into another.

How is this possibly downvoted? I suspect only a political agenda could be the cause but I'm willing to hear otherwise.
I very much agree with them:

Bad programmers worry about the code.
Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.

---- Linus Torvalds

Data dominates. If you’ve chosen the right data structures and organized things well,
the algorithms will almost always be self-evident.
Data structures, not algorithms, are central to programming.

---- Rob Pike
The difference described in the post one level up is basically the difference between C++ virtual and non-virtual methods. It is not an invisible thing. Virtual methods behave differently than non-virtual ones.
I got the same thing here, but had to scroll just a little. It's always the same popup on each site. It leads to a Czech Republic company herbalfun which offers downloads of games and movies for $40/mo. It looks like someone may be buying up recently expired domains, uploading a bunch junk there and Google is falling for it. Going to just the main site of any of those links shows just a long link of links for various strings.

> the AOA sensor that is used for MCAS changes with each flight.

My first thought was that, in the Lion Air case, it happened both on the crash flight and the one before - but an attempt was made to fix the problem between flights, so the FCC may well have been powered down (alternatively, maybe both senors were faulty.)
