SPJ is not only an amazing teacher and speaker but in his role as a Haskell community elder (leader?) he sets a really shining example in how he addresses people new to both haskell and functional programming.

For someone who has accomplished so much and is clearly so smart he appears to be very humble.
Great idea. This is obviously not the final step for this product. It is a great concept with a great deal of potential (basically any domotics application) and it will probably have a large potential user base. Think of all the DIYers, techies, semi-techies and others who want to create their own way of domotics.

I love it.
> Perhaps you didn't intend to be rude, but you failed to be polite.

Considering your messages seem to be about misleading and avoiding spelling out your issues more than conversing, I had (and have) no reason to go out of my way to be polite.

> I'd set you straight but I don't actually want to continue this conversation.

And now you're plain and simply lying. You never intended to set anything straight (or you'd have done this in your previous comment instead of going for the pithy implication) and never intended this to be a discussion.

> Sorry it didn't work out.

It's not a relation, there's no "working out" to do.

It's mostly for the sake of it, although some has trickled into F# and C#. MSR is the employer of two primary GHC developers (including SPJ, who's giving this talk), it's an organ quite similar to Xerox's PARC or Bell Labs: it does core research which may or may not be marketable in the long run.

Burn itunes movies to dvd
When you purchased a video or movie file from iTunes store, you will get a DRM protected M4V file. What about if you want to burn iTunes movies to DVD so that you can watch it on your TV? Since the iTunes movies are DRM-protected, you will have to remove DRM protection first and then you will be able to burn the video files to DVD burning software. You can also edit the video and custom the DVD menu before burning. For video editing, you can click the edit button beside each video clip to open the Vide Edit window, where you can crop, trim, add watermark, plug in subtitles or adjust video effects, according to your need. If you just want to burn iTunes movies and videos to DVD discs using only one software for convenience, you can turn to Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate, an all-in-one DRM Removal, DVD Creator, DVD Ripper, Video Converter, Media Transfer, YouTube Downloader, etc.

This is something I find very interesting. A non-elected official provides something interesting, they are not fighting to be re-elected every year. If they are not worrying about re-election they are able to pass unpopular laws and they aren't worrying about raising money for election campaigns. If we give them the benefit of the doubt (wisely or not) that they want the best for the country then there are clear positives to the very fact they aren't elected. I find it funny that in the UK there is much more vocal opposition to the EU making laws than to the power The House of Lords has (this is my own personal experience with no evidence whatsoever). And even funnier that I find myself agreeing with the vast majority of the contributions these two non-elected entities provide.

Having explicit dependences on shared libraries in packages was taken straight from playbook of some Department of Redundancy Department. For any dynamically linked ELF binnary, the loader (/lib/ld.so or similar) notifies which libraries are missing upon execution. It doesn't take much to locate relevant library packages... Resolution at runtime could be mostly automated; say a dialog asking ``Install 5 packages (15MB in total) now? [Yes] [No]''. Probably same goes for modules of Python, Perl etc.

I recall Vim being marked as requiring Perl, Python and a half dozen other heavyweights (in PLD distro) simply because it had some optional support for those. Attempting to recover half-upgraded, half-broken system over slow connnection really sucked.
When dependencies are shown on the rim of the circle, most of the area is used by the circle.

You might want to try to do some automatic force-based layouting instead for the most dependent-on packages would be easier to see.

Which is why their business model is now flawed. If you look at what a music publisher actually does. From wikipedia:

"In the music industry, a music publisher (or publishing company) is responsible for ensuring the songwriters and composers receive payment when their compositions are used commercially. Through an agreement called a publishing contract, a songwriter or composer "assigns" the copyright of their composition to a publishing company. In return, the company licenses compositions, helps monitor where compositions are used, collects royalties and distributes them to the composers. They also secure commissions for music and promote existing compositions to recording artists, film and television."[1]

So basically the publisher is getting money (a large portion of it) to make sure they get paid and provide contract negotiations. Spotify can easily (1) ensure the artist gets paid and (2) provide negotiations (you get X for Y amount of plays). The excessive overhead of the middle man is unnecessary now. IMHO, recording labels should just provide artists access to studios/producers/etc and become glorified marketing (music specific) firms. Also it might still be interesting for publishers to collect royalties for things like tv-ads, inclusion to movies, etc. But to the mass public it's a service that's no longer needed.

Lots of business models are built on assumptions. The assumptions have changed.

Since it's p2p and it's TCP-based, I wonder if they do TCP hole punching for NAT'ed peers - not that this is hard to do [1], but it is far less common than UDP hole punching.

[1] Just need to predict the Internet-facing ports for both peers and then instruct them to connect() towards each other at these ports. The rest is handled natively by TCP, via the simultaneous open scenario [2].

I'm not sure what the problem is here. Looks like there's a large, very functional, set of systems that have a lot of reuse.

Would it be better if there wasn't the reuse? Or if the system was less functional?

Why Anybody But Aaron Sorkin Should Write The Steve Jobs Movie
I think the problem you'll face is that there are lots of ambiguous inputs: the same pixels could be an image of something small close up or something large further off, for example. That's likely to confound the training process.

The kinect dodges this problem by actively gathering extra info. It projects a rapidly changing pattern of infrared light out in front of it; based on the pattern it detects it can figure out how long the light took to reach a reflective surface at each pixel and infer the depth from that.
very insightful. esp. the bit about how they use a combination of server based and p2p based streaming to ensure a seamless experience.
I think we are reaching a point in history where giant corporations are reaching a state-like status where corporate policy begins to have the weight of law in the sense of how many people are affected by it outside the company; corporate public relations and agenda becomes diplomacy with several different states, concerning different interests for the parties involved.

Not that these things weren't true when the corporations started, but as they scale, so does the influence and responsbaility.

It reminds me of the old Cyberpunk 2020 rpg book where corporations have they own law, police, etc.

Meanwhile, over in Windows land, I'm trying to remember when I last encountered DLL hell. It's a long time ago now. People simply stopped trying to install DLLs in the system directories and just ship all their dependencies. With the amount of RAM available now, it doesn't matter if you load 100 different versions of a shared library, you're not gonna notice the difference anyway.

Groupon is About to Run a Groupon on Itself
I've thought about this. We aren't really getting rid of middle men. Rather, if what you proposes runs its course, we are shifting the middle man from old media distributors to... new media (internet) distributors.

What's to say streaming services wouldn't run up the price on artists once record labels are out of the picture? You could argue that artists could simply take their music to another service but if one service has A LOT of users (ie, Spotify) that might not be a viable option.

Of course, it will be less accurate than the kinect itself (but spreading software is cheaper than hardware so it's worth it.). One of andrew ng's students trained this knd of system (3d from images trained using 3d data) a few years ago and was accurate to automatically drive a toy car. That was using just a limited amount of data. Using data from thousands of kinect users will better results than that. It's all a matter of data, the more data you have, the more accurate you can be.
What's all the hype about battlefield 3
Oh no. my 2nd paragraph was about the raw depth data. From what I see, the web-cam view doesn't seem to contribute to the depth data (firing up the streams and viewing them shows different perspectives and there isn't any way to query how far a pixel in the web-cam view is from the camera).

I remember reading somewhere that the depth sensor projects something (infra-red?) on a surface and then the transformation of the image is used to build the 3D model. So it might still need some specialized hardware (not necessarily MS hardware since Asus seems to have a similar device out in the market).

EDIT : NVM I just looked up the video of Andrew Ng's class where they discussed this. So it is possible.

If you are the one building a product, then it makes sense using the PrimeSense thingie instead of a fully assembled Kinect.

Does everyone get this free education, or just some people? I grew up in Germany, where only a small percentage of students got into Gymnasium (as opposed to more trade-oriented high schools), and only a small percentage of them got into universities. I'm not saying this is necessarily bad, just that it doesn't line up with the idea of a utopian world where everyone gets a free university education.

>Higher education is free...and you get a stipend to pay for food/rent as long as you keep passing courses.

This actually created a huge problem in Berlin when I was living there. Being in the university system was such a good deal that nobody wanted to leave. Students would change majors every few years to avoid graduating for as long as possible, sitting through courses they didn't really care about because it was easier than graduating and working for a living. Classes became terribly over-crowded: when walking around the campus area, you could tell the students apart from people who just happened to be passing through, because the students all carried folding chairs with them because none of the classrooms had enough seats. To compensate, they had to dramatically reduce the quotas for incoming students, so the students who were loitering in the university system were effectively blocking younger students from ever having the opportunity to get a degree.

I don't know if/how they ever fixed this problem, but I'm sure it's very hard to fix short of putting a hard limit (e.g. 4 or 5 years) on receiving the stipend.

I find that generalizing in anything related to human intelligence is a mistake - there's just too many variables.

If I had to choose between 1 dollar now and 10 a year later, I'd choose $1 now. If the choice stood between $1 now and $10 a week later, I'd take the $10, since I wouldn't be waiting long and getting $1.40 for each day of waiting. I'm also one of those people who think days and weeks go by too damn fast (I know people who think time is flowing too slow and weeks are like ages to them).

Also, there are a lot of people who'll take Skyrim AND the ice cream NOW, simply because they can or because getting an A is not a priority (and any passing grade would do). I can't decide if that's a choice or just an impulsive action...
