I disagree with this.

Human Rights should be as specific as possible (but no less specific). There is real risk in making them too general. The Bill of Rights is a good example of what works (freedom of the press, right to bear arms, etc.). Abstract ideas that can be misinterpreted or interpreted under the aegis of whatever the mass public can be sold with (often as mere lip-service) are what can be most dangerous.
Sometimes you have to improvise. If you have never heard of newton's method, binary search should probably come to mind next. It should be O(log N) which is a bit worse than constant-complexity square root but not too bad.

DELTA = 0.0000001
def sqrt_bin_search(squared_value, lower, higher)
middle = (lower + higher) / 2.0
if ((middle * middle) - squared_value).abs < DELTA
middle
elsif middle * middle > squared_value
sqrt_bin_search(squared_value, lower, middle)
else
sqrt_bin_search(squared_value, middle, higher)
end
end

def sqrt(x)
sqrt_bin_search(x, 0, x)
end
Having travelled the world, I had long thought that the british plug design was one of the safest if not the safest design in the world.

There is no other plug that I'm aware of that locks the live and neutral the way the british plug does, and it requires some physical effort in order to hack it.

Having kids myself I can see the use of plug protection caps in other countries where the holes are completely exposed (I live in one such country) but to have a cap, that effectively renders the built-in protection useless has to be wrong. If anything it should enhance rather than override the mechanism, which could easily be achieved with good design.
Internet should absolutely be a right, but that's not a burden on you. It's like the right to bear arms: a normal citizen can't be prevented from doing so, but he still has to buy them himself.
Likewise, a right to the internet doesn't mean someone has to pay for it for you but rather that you always have the right to participate if you can afford to.

No, that's not it either. It's not that your letting people do stuff you know they can't legally be doing. It's that your pawn shop is so incredibly huge that you can't be sure what's happening everywhere at any given time. By the time you get to one side to see what's happened, the other side has turned into Somalia. You put up signs, hire security guards but the floor space is so enormous it would be prohibitively expensive to keep any wrong doers out and trying to do so would cost more than the whole thing is making in revenue.
It's difficult to strike the balance. I admit that working into the small hours means I'm up late the next day. I can't remember the last time I got up before my partner or the kids. Holidays are really important to me now, whereas in the past I just saw them as an inconvenience.

One thing I have learned to appreciate though, is that if you do spend a week with the family, completely leaving work behind, you get a real boost when you start back again. You get new ideas, you get the energy to implement them, and you get fresh eyes to look at what you were doing. Having a break really can be as productive if you get the mindset to why it is necessary.

After a while you get to look forward to the breaks because you know it will bring on better things.
Santa's new sled: a christmas driving game
I think this is an excellent move that fits with the current times. If I'm going to use a DB for production use, I want it to be well supported, well documented, easy to use, etcetera. Very few consensus-based projects I know reach all those goals. CouchDB sure hasn't entirely. If this move is going to improve on that, I may very well end up a Couchbase customer.
So if i understand right, everyone is trying to be RESTful except Couchbase ?
Castle Story - An amazing voxel based castle building RTS
Agreed. There is some bias against reddit here, which is fine, HN & reddit have different goals. But this sort of "A Redditor's …" makes me feel like pro-redditors are trying to say "Look! Look! We're not all bad". The goal seems to be reconsiliation, but in reality it is just divisive.
I don't think that's what Damien is saying. I think he's saying that, in the process of building couch.io, he should have worn the "technology and product leader" hat instead of the "business leader" hat.

In your defense Damien, sometimes there's simply nobody else to do the job and as a founder it's our responsibility to pick up the slack until the right person is hired.

schmerg and I added support for this in UglifyJS about a year ago. Use the define parameter to define values for constants, e.g.

uglify --define DEBUG=true

It will then replace all uses of the DEBUG symbol to true. And when you set it to false, it will even strip away dead code like:

if (DEBUG) ...

We even added support for define-from-module which allows you to specify and use the exported symbols from a nodejs module instead of defining them on the command line. I tend to have dev.js and prod.js setup for this purpose.

Hope these features address your requirements. Apologies if we didn't make the feature visible enough. It's documented on the UglifyJS frontpage...

It's not that mine is incorrect. It's that we're both correct, plus a whole other slew of equally plausible scenarios. In plenty of cases it is what I described, plus the owner is painfully aware that his shoppers mostly only buy from the fake watch guys, and they hide behind a description like the one you've crafted, crying "poor me, my job is so hard."
Could you point me to that plugin? (I assume it's a river. Searching for "couchbase river elasticsearch" doesn't really return anything though.)
I haven't looked at puppet in a while, but I think this feature is only possible in chef, where each node can execute search queries on the chef server. It is actually one of the reasons I prefer chef to puppet.
I guess since the developers of the tools are coming from the puppet world, they did not think about implementing it.

Wether this kind of feature should be implemented in the CM tool is another debate :)
> How about the right to own a printing press? A bit of not so distant nostalgia to consider: in some totalitarian states in 20th century (up to late 70's in one case I am aware of first hand), access to mimeograph machines were restricted.

In Ceausescu's Romania in the 1980s if you had a typewriter you had to declare it to the local police, so in order to avoid all the hassle of dealing with the police, or even the Securitate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securitate), you'd just forget about it and carry on with living your daily life, freedom of expression be damned.

Also, Romanians were very frustrated by lack of TV air-time, by the end of the 1980s the Romanian national television was only airing 2 hours per day, mostly filled with bullshit propaganda. During the 1989 December revolt lots of people actually complained about that out loud. It would be interesting to see what happens if SOPA (or any related law) actually has a similar effect on Americans' access to the web, will they complain on the streets?

I used to live in San Diego and always found it baffling that the US requires people to go through this strange procedure.

In San Diego, it is a russian-roulette type of play: you go to Tijuana (right across the border) and you either get a visa extension or you don't. If you don't, you're stuck in Tijuana. I know people (from Europe) that had to arrange for a trip home because they were denied a visa extension (J-type).

Web browsers have been around since 92, first usable guest mode [1] on a web browser appeared 2005 or so. Give the phones a little more time, and it will get there too.

[1] mozilla had multiple profile support since forever, but it required you to restart the browser with a command line argument, or requires you to pick a profile every time, and even then it's not "guest" profile -- it's another profile with history and all. When I needed multiple profiles, it was always easier to set up another user on Linux. [On windows, at least in the 2000 days, the new browser would defer to the old one that was already on screen even if they were RunAs different users -- a different "desktop session" was required for separation. bleh]

Eric Mazur advocates the peer instruction method of lecturing (http://mazur.harvard.edu/research/detailspage.php?rowid=8)

Students should always be at the lecture with the content in advance to discuss in some form such as peer instruction. My University didn't even release a reading list of Mathematical or Computer Science material prior to the course beginning.

There's such a wide functional gap between CouchDB and CouchBase that it feels like the heart has been ripped out and placed into an entirely different beast. Of course the Apache project is still there, but I have grave doubt over whether it will continue to be actively developed.
To ease anxieties, it would be great to see a roadmap or some statement of commitment from those remaining in the CouchDB community. Including Iris and Cloudant.

The big problem in this functional description imho is that the original premise is wrong : this idiom does not -at all- call for the inverse of functions.

close() is not the inverse of open(). Especially not if there have been write actions on the file. Open "dereferences" a filename into a series of bytes. Close destroys the filehandle. Both are very un-functional concepts.

Even memory allocation malloc/free are hardly the reverse of eachother. Free does not leave the system in the state it was before malloc, that only happens in the most trivial case possible.

> Studios are hopeless, for the reasons you detail. They're just big companies in the end, and they move slowly if at all.

The big Hollywood studios should have really died at the end of the '60s-early '70s. But then the likes of Lucas, Spielberg and Coppola came along and they won themselves another few decades. But unless something similar happens in the next couple of years they're going to go the way of the dodo, simply because, artistically speaking, their movies are shit (pardon my French).

There's no artistic innovation, there's no connection between what they produce and the audience (I want to see a poignant a movie as Rambo I was, damn it!), they're too scared to "indispose" the political administration, they've just turned themselves into a propaganda machine (and they're no Eisensteins, mind you). And for all those that think "Hollywood is too big to fail!", just think about what happened to Cinecittà or to the Japanese big studios like Toei or Nikkatsu.

Please read the comment fully next time:

"This isn't a plea to treat all potential presidents with kid gloves, it's a plea to make sure that pranks against public figures of all kinds are squashed once they become known."
"If we are so easily influenced and changed by our society, then what kind of society do we need to shape to create a better self?"

The number one problem in my not so humble opinion: the 40 hour workweek.

What would happen to society if we could only work 4 hours a day? Would the economy crumble? Or would we learn to rationalize business processes, automate crapwork, prioritize better, stop consuming needless junk, think twice before engaging in wasteful projects, reflect more, etc?

Do less, but better and wiser. That sums up a sane society in my view.
Also please read the comment fully:
"This isn't a plea to treat all potential presidents with kid gloves, it's a plea to make sure that pranks against public figures of all kinds are squashed once they become known."

My argument is that search engines of all stripes shouldn't allow themselves to host public pranks. That itself is a bad precedent.
Is there any DRM on the mobi files? Will there be when you have connection to Amazon?
Well. No human rights are fundamental. They are all agreed upon rights that some nation states choose to respect and others don't. Even in states where these rights are respected, violation is common.

So the question is not whether it is a human right, but whether it should be. And that is a decision only humans can make.

Organising information is one thing - allowing pranksters to prank public figures is something else.

Some technologies are too big to be abstracted away, such as Press. The internet is one of these things. Shutting down twitter for example does not violate the "freedom of the press" or expression or any of the other fundamental human rights, yet the recent examples from Arab countries make it clear that it does. Hence it's not right to dismiss the access to the internet human right as premature optimization.
I think that's the far more sensible option.

A theory which makes false predictions is false.

Absolutely.

Now please note the following simple logical step:

> A theory which makes false predictions is not useful.

This is probably an assertion which is implicit in your mind, but is it really true? Off the top of my head, I can think of half a dozen cases where a theory which makes false predictions can be useful. It can be useful to motivate people, or manipulate them. It can be useful as a starting point for a better theory. It can be useful as an approximation when a better theory is not available. It can be useful as an argument to oppose someone with a different theory who is trying to manipulate people in a different direction.

Theories that make false predictions can be tremendously useful - even within the framework of science (as a starting point or an approximation).
For adventure games running on the SCUMM scripting engine I really suggest you check out ScummVM[1]. It's similar to DOSBox in some regards, but it's designed to run old adventure games, namely those from LucasFilm Games.
