A computer scientist called Alick Glennie worked alongside Alan Turing on the Manchester Mark 1 computer.

Glennie developed Autocode, a "simplified coding system" - what many regard as the first real programming language. The story goes that when Glennie developed the first compiler for Autocode, Turing was furious that precious computer time was being wasted on such a task. Turing's mind was supposedly so brilliant that to him, the task of implementing a program in machine code was mere admin, something requiring no more skill than making up a punchcard. It simply did not occur to him that other people might consider computer programming to be complex enough to be a vocation in itself.

For once-in-a-generation geniuses, no safety net is necessary. The rest of us need to be protected from our own incompetence.

It's far enough away in terms of semantics that it's not particularly relavent. I'm haven't written much Haskell, but from what I can tell, Haskell is really all about the types. And the laziness. And the purity (which is all about the types). It's missing most of the the things that make Haskell Haskell, and not another functional language.

It borrowed some syntax, but from what I can tell, it's much closer semantically to Scheme.

I was almost mugged once. A tactile phone saved me.

My dad and I were a bit cavalier when working an ATM outside a bank of america (it was outside, not within a security door). Normally we would count money at the ATM itself but this particular one didn't have good sides, so anyone could see that we withdrew 500 dollars. Someone followed us, stepped into the car and drew a knife, and told us to drive.

He saw my dad's blackberry in the car and took it (to stop us from calling). Thanks to hard buttons (years before the first iphone, I had what you would call a "feature phone"), I was able to quietly text my mom (phone in my pocket) to call the cops. Fellow made the mistake of telling us where to drive before we got there, and fortunately the cops were aware of the situation, so the cops were able to apprehend the guy where we let him off.

Despite having used the iphone for many years, I still don't know a consistent sequence of actions to get me to the messaging screen, select my mom, and send a specific message without looking at the phone

The future of energy is natural gas. End of story.

Alternative natural gas production -- "fracking" generally -- has been researched, prototyped, implemented, and grown over the past 15-20 years to the point where one can reasonably envision a future where natural gas displaces coal and crude oil to become the most important energy sources in the world.

It emits way less carbon than coal or oil, it is everywhere, it can be liquified relatively cheaply and transported around the world by super tanker, people are less afraid of it than nuclear power, and the technology to actually use it has been around forever. Electricity...home heating...hydrogen fuel cells...all easy with natural gas.

>If a single bug makes you liable, obviously it is unfair, etc, but that's exactly where the details of the license come into play - I am not a lawyer, so I have no idea if the terms here are reasonable or not.

Speaking as one of the authors of the spec here, this is very much not the intention. I personally believe a patent license should never be used to enforce standards compliance, and that's not the purpose of that term. Keep in mind, I don't think anyone involved in this standard wants to go around suing people, particularly those interested in implementing and deploying it! In addition to being a gigantic waste of time and money, it would kill the standard dead.

But we specifically included a conformance test to make it easy to know if you met the legal requirements, so you didn't have to trust us. At the request of the working group, this test was made so lax that we worried you could start deleting random lines of code (as an "optimization") and still manage to pass it (to combat this the test also displays a "quality" parameter which drops long before you get to the failure point, so implementors can start marketing that number if their competitors try this tactic, instead of being stuck in a race to the bottom).

I really love this approach, and I hope that my fear of the outcome of this is an irrational one. By not qualifying the offer to "just this once"/whatever I fear they may inspire more copycats and prove to the rest of the trademark gatekeepers, that being respectful and helpful just invites more infringement.

I can only remember seeing Ben & Jerry's doing this with a C&D request before, but I'm sure there have been at least a couple more companies willing to forego "more effective" intimidation for the "small" chance of creating an ally. It seems to me to have more to do with an overwhelmingly strong culture in those companies to be great at what they do rather than beating everyone else at what they do. Kudos to Christy Susman and anyone else that gave her the freedom to make these choices instead of taking the "easy" way. It gives me hope.

What I would like is nav integrated with vehicle fault reporting more closely (not done since nav is usually an option). If the serious check engine happens (flashing vs solid), some indication of where I could get service would be nice, and maybe for some faults (coil pack on i4), a 35mph or slower route to destination. Being able to inform the driver about "absolutely non drive able fault, must call for flatbed recovery vehicle" vs "slow speed for 3 miles is ok" would be nice.

Cars really should have novice (rental) and expert (personal car) mode. I think people spend enough time in their own personal cars to get to know most systems, but if I am renting or borrowing a car, a standard UI would be nice -- even stupid things like finding parking brake, 4 way flashers, headlight controls, etc are sometimes a pain.

iPod Touch was 3.1.2 (about 2 years old) which I will readily admit is rather old but I have reasons for sticking to it on that device. I don't believe 5+ is available for my hardware. Now I don't really expect it to work but it would be one of those nice-to-haves if it did. The Nook I think is up-to-date as of a week or 2 ago.

My company does not enforce a standard browser but iPad and Android Tablets would be expected for anything I adopt as well as the standard Windows browsers. I'm not aware of anything that works well everywhere and gives a nice experience which is what this framework tries to do so. Anyway I totally appreciate the work and understand the difficulties involved.

I disagree, as that's silly, and semantically incorrect.

Calling the Fay compiler a "transpiler" would imply that it is a source->source compilation, like CoffeeScript.

From what I can tell, it _actually compiles some of Haskell to JavaScript_, so the term does not really apply.

Besides, what's wrong with JS being web assembly? You like JS? Fine, use JS. Nobody is taking that away from you.

it is theft
Surely the MPAA are on the hook for this. It doesn't matter if they bought it legitimately as they'd still be infringing - in the same way the MPAA can claim that your download of a torrent of a movie [made by employees of one of the companies it represents] is infringing despite the torrent site not having informed you that it's not a legally acquired work.

If the argument "we didn't know" works for them then surely that sets precedent for everyone else. If it doesn't work then damages of 10¢ for every instance of infringement of the work would seem reasonable. That's for every DVD they make with it on, for every showing in a movie theater, for every use in advertising ...

though it looks like the MPAA have already set a damage level of $30k per instances [TorrentSpy case as reported at arstechnica]. Now last week the top ten selling movies [which may not be all MPAA ones of course, nor carry the infringed work, but this is just for scale] had sold collectively about 15 million units in the US. From that I'd expect damages of the order of 30k * 10 * 15M = 4.5 trillion, or 25 years of the MPAA's total revenue [as reported on their website] to be reasonable. /tongueincheek
"What a lot of therapists do is by definition part of the modern understanding of depression and its causes and solutions."

No. What psychologists have determined constitutes the modern understanding. Therapists ought to work in a way that reflects that knowledge. Most do.

I don't understand why Apple imposes a secrecy tax on itself, given how modest the benefits seem to be.

There's a big difference between aggregate monitoring what folks on the Internet say, and actively attempting to subvert the discussions on one particular message board.

The former is something that every large consumer company does with tools like Radian6. The latter is the realm of grandiosity bordering on paranoid schizophrenia.
Interesting article. If you're interested in the labels as values approach he mentioned, I read a recent article by Eli Bendersky, here: http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2012/07/12/computed-goto-for-ef...
After the Port Arthur massacre here in Australia, firearm laws were tightened, and an amnesty program was put in place for people to drop off weapons. Police were surprised at how enthusiastically the public took up the offer. I don't think this would translate as well in the US due to the 'cold-dead-hands' mentality of a few, but I think you'd find more people willing to give up their arms than you might expect.

a non-negligible percentage of the population carries concealed firearms wherever they go, then it's harder for mass tragedies to occur

The problem is that mass killings are a drop in the bucket. This guy killed 12 people (and maimed 50), and in a bad year you might have half a dozen of them. Say 60 dead to this kind of thing. But the US has 17000 homicides per year. Basing your legal response on spree killings is very much the wrong thing to do.

Given that most murders are crimes of passion done in the heat of the moment, you're going to cause more deaths by intentionally arming the population than saving lives by having a mass shooter killed after the first few victims.

Also, 'concealed carry' is not a magic bullet. Washington state went concealed carry in 1961, yet its crime rates rose and fell in step with its colleagues. Concealed carry arguments always relies on anecdotal arguments and never statistics, I find. The one stat that does get mentioned is crime rate, but there's rarely any mention of other factors (like rising incarceration rates)

Anyway, a simple counter to your armed robbery example - the robber almost always has the drop on you. Most people would rather give up the cash rather than risk the robber actually shooting you while you or a bystander start a mexican standoff.

the worst thing that will happen is you get three squares a day and a roof over your head at taxpayer expense

Really, we need to stop painting prison as a kind of holiday resort. No-one at risk of actually going to prison in any way actually thinks this.

> The percentage of power generated from wind globally, currently, rounded to the nearest decimal place is zero.

This is just not true. I'm not sure what it is globally, but in the US it's several percent (which is not zero percent under any rounding I'm aware of). More to the point, it produces more than 10% of the electricity in five U.S. states. It's also the fastest-growing energy source in the world, even faster than natural gas.

> Trillions of dollars have been spent on windfarms and solar panels around the world, and, as the article notes, it has made zero difference to the overall energy mix.

Nowhere near "trillions of dollars" have been spent on wind farms. You're just making things up.

> Yet it has affected national economies in real ways - the bankruptcies in Germany, Spain and elsewhere have real costs, as does taking the most basic economic input - energy - and making it more expensive for zero environmental gain at the global level.

The bankruptcies in Germany, Spain, etc, are the fault of alternative energy?

> Despite the countless examples of failures to point to, the boosters insist that it's the right course, when any plain analysis shows the exact opposite.

The analysis of the "skeptics" almost always leaves out the vast externalized costs of traditional energy sources. E.g. if hundreds of billions of dollars of externalized costs from coal were factored into the price of coal, coal power would be more expensive than wind power: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dave-cooper/harvard-study-coal....

> But you have to be a starry-eyed believer who trusts in state-coerced solutions

There is nothing starry-eyed about the economists who point out that the free market naturally underproduces fundamental R&D. Pick up an Economics 101 book sometime.

North and South Korea are two separate countries and represent themselves individually within international institutions e.g. UN or WTO. Also by every measure they are separate.

US states have an overarching political, financial and political system that in some parts supercedes the rights of the states.

So I don't think the two are really comparable.

Germany is actually great for solar power, like the American midwest. The reason is that it's not just about average solar radiation, but also about average temperature. Solar cells are much more efficient when it's cold than when it's hot. Excelon recently built a huge solar facility up in Chicago, and it generates something like 80-90% as much power as plants in much sunnier places, because Chicago is so cold for so much of the year.
