It's funny how polarizing this has been. Some people love the robot and invite it to fix more of their repositories, and some get offended and call it a spam bot. I tried to minimize the spaminess - it's open source, it does something marginally useful, and it never contacts you again. If that's not enough for you well then.. tough cookies, I guess. Welcome to the internet.

Also, there's a bug in HN: When I submitted this under the title "POSIX close(2) is broken" it converted "POSIX" to "Posix" (presumably because PG doesn't like shouting titles), but I was able to edit it back to reading "POSIX".

In this case "POSIX" is correct, not "Posix", of course; but if HN is going to mangle titles it ought to at least do so consistently.

No description of the afterlife given by any of the major religions appeals to me, save perhaps Buddhism from a mystical standpoint. If we want to start conjecturing beyond what anyone says the afterlife is like, then why believe in it at all? Without evidence, the only thing any of the religions claim to have going for them is holy books and priests claiming divine knowledge. If you want to ignore those, then you're just pulling ideas out of thin air. It might be nice to imagine some utopic afterlife for each person, but it has precisely the same relationship with fact as my desire to drop into the worlds of books I read and take part in the story.

I'm well familiar with the non-mainstream American comic market and literary scene; said as much in the post. But as you said, demographically it is very small, though it does poke through here and there in the mainstream awareness.

Frankly, I find more diversity in the comics/graphic novel section at Barnes and Noble than I do at the local comic book shops. And I'd say about half of that was manga and manga oriented material.

Something I didn't touch on in my previous post, which is kind of ironic considering our current venue, is the diversity found in U.S. web based comics. (The 800 pound gorilla there is Penny Arcade, which is a sort of sympathetic deconstruction of gaming culture.) But since the barrier to entry is essentially zero, there's a lot of diversity in web comics; diversity in style, themes, maturity, ... and quality.

Without really trying I've had the opportunity to meet dozens of web comic creators. Their fan bases range from dozens to thousands; with the largest rivaling mass media audiences. There is certainly much more exploration of specialized interests in this arena than in any other western, English language comics.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of commerce involved. Only a few are able to make a full time living at it. In some ways that's healthy for an art form. In others it can be very limiting. We can hope this aspect will change over time.

I really don't think it's fair to insist that if anyone doesn't think Javascript is the optimal solution to every client-side web programming problem, they are themselves 'the problem'.

"There are worse things than Javascript" is not a great argument for why nobody should ever try to improve the situation.

Ettercap Sniffing Tool Returns
In other news, most comic book artists and writers are male, most readers are male, a big chunk are teens, and males like pretty/nude/curvaceous females, most teen males likes big breasts and many teen females want to have big breasts, and oh yeah, sex sells. And comic books don't exist in a bubble in their own universe. It's part of this larger thing called the human race. Whatever good/bad/natural things exist in the human race will also be present in the comic book industry. Men have been ogling and fantasizing over females for thousands and very likely millions of years. Clue up. Next topic!

And on a related note, I really wish "gender" submissions on HN would start getting banned automatically. Because they almost always end up a case of beating a dead horse over and over and over again, especially from the perspective of those who've been around long enough.

ps. The author of the OA needs to wander into the Romance section of a bookstore some time. He'll be shocked, shocked at the level of sexual objectification and stereotyping that goes on there. But in the reverse direction. But since the college/PC/lesbian/feminist litmob doesn't care about that, then it's not talked about. It's considered perfectly okay. Quotes from the article like this are common with people who've been programmed with that mindset: "(Obvious disclaimer: I'm a straight white man.)" <-- Oh you poor accidental oppressor you!
Hmm, I'm not sure - because women talking openly about male privilege might find agreement from some quarters but ridicule or worse from other quarters.

This is like saying that black people have the privilege of talking about race in the US, but whites don't. That might have some truth to it, but overall it's a point-missing half-truth, since black people who talk about that kind of thing are often treated as "angry blacks" or "to ideological" or whatever, and the broader context makes "feeling mildly uncomfortable about race discussions" a comparatively trivial complaint.

(I feel secure in saying this, as a white male)
Let's not use the word "essentially" as a weasel word. If you mean to say that Hitchens was a Marxist, that should be based on documented membership in some Marxist organization or some concrete quote avowing allegiance to Marxism. Otherwise we are just casually red-baiting here.

I deplore the way our political culture has taken to shorthanding disagreements by labeling people as Socialists, Marxists and Communists when those movements are politically dead and the concerned individuals are not involved in the pathetic remaining organizations and, come to mention it, don't match to the textbook descriptions of the ideologies.
The float is too thin to short. That is why all new web 2.0 IPO have thin floats. It's easier for larger stake holders to push the price around, and sucker in ma & pa, and momentum traders. But if you look @ ICI data, common folk are getting out of equities. If you own risk in this market, going into 2012, you are a fool. There's a high probability of a financial collapse in Q1 2012.
It'd be nice if it actually knew that "POSIX", "iPhone/iPad/iPod", etc should be left alone.
Well, put it this way: As a white male, I would be extremely uncomfortable having this discussion in public. When this sort of thing comes up, I tend to leave the room or at least sit there quietly.

See, men also may find support in some quarters, and ridicule or worse in other quarters. One of those quarters they may encounter "or worse" happens to be workplace environments where overzealous HR departments can end careers.

I would agree with that if these were normal times. But the world is in desaster mode, there's talk of depression, and we have a mini dot com bust going on right now. I think, pricing an IPO for a pop in this environment means leaving a lot of money on the table.
No, I think it's valid to say that the USSR was not socialism. That doesn't mean that the USSR was good, or that socialism is good, it just means that they have never been the same thing. (Unlike Chomsky, I am not concerned to save or favorably present either one, they simply have never been the same)

To be more specific, it wasn't even a simple readout of Marxism - hence the creation of separate terms like Leninism and Stalinism and Trotskyism and Maoism. I am not defending Marx, but one's disagreement with an entire class of people does not remove their significant internal disputes.

But the USSR used the ideas and words of socialism as justification quite a bit. That is very significant. It certainly justifies skepticism about anyone selling socialism, and about the robustness of socialism in the face of conditions like the establishment of simple old-school dictatorships by ruthless butchers.

In Google's case, could it be considered abusing their monopoly?
What's unique to this situation is the social construct of the "stronger" and "weaker" sex. A claim of victim hood coming from a female aligns with bias we already hold about women. Women are socialized to emotionally connect with others as a way of support and people are socialized to respond back positively.

A claim of victim hood by a male violates this norm. There is little established protocol for this situation and is basically taboo. So even outside of a politically fragile context there's already a power differential as far as talking frankly or seeking empathy goes.

My thoughts exactly... Ah well
Does this mean it will necessarily end up in a final release or is this just an experiment? Seems weird to divide progress like this.
This gets even stranger than you might think. Consider fclose()[1], which says, after the ordinary disclaimer that POSIX defers to the C standard, "The fclose() function shall perform the equivalent of a close() on the file descriptor that is associated with the stream pointed to by stream.".

And as part of the C standard, we have "After the call to fclose(), any use of stream results in undefined behavior.".

Uh-oh. So does this imply that fclose(), at least, has to do the job right, or does it mean it inherits the close() flaw, and leaves no defined way to try and clean up the mess?

I'm not the one focusing on it. I'm saying it's pretty much irrelevant to the point of the paradox. It's not about being able to predict any future event except the date of the exam - as I've said, you could put all of the caveats you want in there about any other events either happening or not happening (e.g. "assuming that we're all still alive, and assuming that they don't rename the days of the week before next Friday, and that no-one's changed the terms of the teacher's statement etc") and it doesn't change the paradox.

As for causality, I don't really see how that's relevant either. Assuming you've accepted whatever caveats we feel like adding, then nothing (apart from the test having happened) that happens on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday is going to change the fact that if you've got to Friday without the test having happened you'll have certainty that the test will be on Friday, and therefore won't be a surprise.

In other words, the only things required for the paradox to be a paradox are the idea of a test happening on a day that the pupils can't predict and a deadline for when that test must happen by.

(And the reason my analogy about the word false is relevant is that it's pretty clear what the bounds of both paradoxes are, and you "solve" either of them by throwing in things - whether that's events external to the point of the paradox, or word definitions external to the point - that are outside those bounds, but in either case it doesn't tell you anything useful about the paradox itself).
Given that the standard states

The fclose() function was interrupted by a signal.

I think it's safe to say that fclose is allowed to fail with no defined way to clean up the mess.
Well, as much as I agree with you from a personal perspective, I'm afraid it is part of your job to manage your boss, just like it's part of your job to build your team, build yourself, build your product, build your users and build your customers.

Anyway I walked out due to interlocutor stupidity exactly once:

Random guy that one of ours helped (for free) a year
before barges in and asks to talk to the manager,
someone points him at me.
Guy: I *demand* to talk to you about what someone from
your team did last year. It's bad.
Me: Sure, I'm not familiar with the story as I took
charge only last month, and I'm in a pinch for some
urgent business. Your thing looks urgent too, let's
schedule an appointement at noon.
Guy walks out mumbling to himself.

Noon - the following are EXACT QUOTES:

Me : So how can we help?
Guy : you guys did this last year. We can't use it.
Me : what's the problem? Did something new come up?
Guy : I think the problem is that whoever did this is
incompetent.
Me : woah, I didn't expect I'd have time for lunch
today.
/me walks out, goes to superior, tells story, the next
day the guy in question gets shelved.
Yeah, I was just looking at that after I posted my initial comment, and I think I agree with you. That's the only reading I can see that doesn't create more questions than it answers.

I think in this case, Occam's razor says "this part of the standard is not fully thought through".

That's not obvious at all.

The problem is that no one seems to have an idea of heaven that -- if it were actually REALIZED (vs staying as an abstract idea) -- would be tolerable for any length of time by human beings. We have to assume that people are transformed into something that deals well with eternity, for example... but we never even talked about it at that depth.

I was raised Catholic by two still-seriously-believing parents, I should mention, so I have some idea of what some Christians think heaven is like. It's a vague mush of conflicting ideas.

And that's just fine, because no one wants to think about it deeply; that's not the point. It's just for saying "well, your Nana is in Heaven now, and she's very, very happy there". It's whatever it needs to be for Nana to be very, very happy.

If she's reunited with both husbands and her lover from the late 1950s as well, presumably none of them will have drinking problems or anger-management issues anymore, and they'll all get along, and be very, very happy, and also the baby that died will be there. Also very, very happy.

But again, this is already miles further than anyone delves into it. It was just "well, God will be there, and it's just amazing to be in His presence; end of story."
For the same reason we shouldn't allow openly gay people into programming teams, because it would negatively affect team morale...

Do you really think the DNS entry for wikipedia.org will be removed? In the stupidly ridiculously rare event that it did, obviously they'd quickly remedy it, or we'd all just proxy through other countries etc, or it'd get mirrored onto other domains.

MapReduce is applicable wherever you can partition the data and process each part independently of others.

I used Hadoop/Hbase for EEG time series analysis, looking for certain oscillation patterns (basically classic time-series classification) and it was an embarrassingly parallel problem:

Map:

1. Partition the data into fixed segments (either temporal, say 1hr chunks or location based, say 10x10 blocks of pixels). Alternatively you can use a 'sliding window' and extract features as you go.
In some cases you can use symbolic representation/piecewise approximation to reduce dimensionality, as in iSax: http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/iSAX/iSAX.html ,
"sketches" as described here: http://www.amazon.com/High-Performance-Discovery-Time-Techni... or some other time-series segmentation techniques: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=time+series+segmentation

2. Extract features for each segment (either linear statistics/moments or non-linear signatures: http://www.nbb.cornell.edu/neurobio/land/PROJECTS/Complexity... ). The most difficult part here has nothing to do with MapReduce but decide which features carry the most information. I found ID3 criterion helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3_algorithm, also see http://www.quora.com/Time-Series/What-are-some-time-series-c... and http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0,33&...

Reduce:

3. Aggregate the results into a hash-table where the keys are segment' signatures/features/fingerprints, and the values are arrays of pointers to corresponding segments (Based on the size this table can either sit on a single machine, of be distributed on multiple hdfs nodes)

Essentially you do time-series clustering at the Reduce stage with each 'basket' in a hash-table containing a group of similar segments. It can be used as an index for similarity or range searches (for fast in-memory retrieval you can use HBase which sits on top of HDFS). You can also have multiple indices for different feature sets.

-----

The hard part is problem decomposition, i.e. dividing work into independent units, replacing one big nested loop/sigma on the entire dataset with smaller loops that can run in parallel on parts of the dataset, when you've done that, MapReduce is just a natural way to execute the job and aggregate the results.

One huge advantage of our system in the US is that it gives us a good excuse to scream bloody murder when legislators try to pass bills allowing telemarketers to call cell phones. (This just happened, as a matter of fact.) If incoming calls were free, cell phones would become a lot less usable due to telemarketing spam.

The dual input warning doesn't inform specifically that copilot 1 is pulling back on the stick. It's clear from the report that was the problem, copilot 1 was pulling back the whole time and nobody realised.

There is only 1 pilot at a time that is supposed to fly the plane, so the warning in itself indicates that they are in serious conflict and should clarify who is flying and what to do. They payed no attention to it. Again, hard to believe adding more audible warnings would improve that, rather than make it worse.

At some point they are discussing whether they are ascending or descending, while the stall alarm is blaring throughout. I don't think anyone will consider making the stall alarm go "Stall! Losing attitude!".

"Pull Up! Pull Up!" not "Ground!"

Notice how in this case they did get that warning...and it further doomed them, because Bonin started pulling back again.
