In case anyone's curious and got down to the embedded YouTube video in the code, it's an Arabic-titled video of a screen recording of a Facebook video (further evidence of the author's technical prowess) of two Israelis in a place undergoing rocket fire from Gaza... definitely recent as well as they say "Where's the iron dome!?" in Hebrew. It's about a minute and a half of the rocket sirens blaring and them hearing rockets landing in the distance, screaming out of fright/being startled when they do.

Pretty disturbing stuff, to say the least. Combined with the english text about the Zionists leaving Palestine, I just wanted to shed some light on the intention of the defacement.
I came to post this exact question. I am also curious how coroutines typically work and if this is the expected pattern.

Well, it's relative. Within the context of superhero films, I think it is a masterpiece if for no other reason than the bar already being set so low. Outside of that, it's a really great action movie.

I think his films are methodical almost to a fault. They feel like puzzles to me. I could definitely understand if someone didn't find much value in that.
That's actually pretty reasonable. I haven't seen one of his films that wasn't especially violent in some way, but that's a plus for me.
The Javascript 1.7 coroutine/generator syntax is copied verbatim from Python.

I agree this seems like a weird choice, since Javascript is much more function-oriented than Python.

As for needing to send() first to get it started, this kind of makes sense given that the same syntax is used for generators as well, so there is kind of an off-by-one difference between generators (which return a value from the first send()) and coroutines (which tend not to return values).
MonoMac appears to be ASL/X11. MacCore too. https://github.com/mono/monomac

The code is licensed under the terms of the open source Apache License version 2 or the MIT X11 license, at your own choice.

Also, the Mono wiki indicates you can already deploy to the App Store (which I've been looking at doing for a project): http://www.mono-project.com/MonoMacPackager

With the new release of the MonoMac add-in for MonoDevelop, you can easily turn your Mono application into a full Mac bundle, and you can also get a Mac installer for your application with all of the Mono dependencies bundled with it as well as creating Mac applications for distribution on the Apple Mac AppStore.

On top of what you said, I think the culture and nightlife is amazing in Austin. There's more to do than in the bay area IMHO (this includes SF which most shit closes down early and has a sorry ass nightlife). The culture is a lot less vapid, people don't care where you work and I find people just more balanced.

Furthermore, if you're fitness, there are so many running clubs, core classes and cycling races that go on.

Note: I moved to the bay area for a couple years before heading back to Austin (I lived in Austin for a decade before wanting to try out the bay area, no idea why people like it so much).
> one of the nice things about RHEL is you hardly ever have to upgrade major version

This is a huge downside for me. I worked for a remove server management company, and every time I had to work on a new (to us) RHEL4 or RHEL5 server (or CentOS equivalent), it was like pulling teeth. In order to run half the software our clients needed, I had to compile newer versions of daemons, create our own RPM packages, patch and recompile code. RHEL5 didn't even include memcached for crying out loud!

For 'enterprise deployments' I can understand wanting to go with RHEL if you don't know much about server administration and want to make it 'easier' on yourself, but even for basic web apps, most of the software you'll want to use is absent, out-of-date, or incompatible. I can't imagine anyone working for a startup wanting to use it.
Yup. One of the good things about the light water reactors that everybody uses is that you can make them relatively small. That's a big deal when you're deciding what sort of reactor to put on a submarine. And then everybody who knew how to make a nuclear power plant only knew how to make a light water reactor, and then lock-in happened.

I assume you mean:

And yeah I agree, straight functions seem way nicer, which is what the coroutine() wrapper in the writeup ends up accomplishing.

Javascript 1.7 copied the generator/coroutine objects straight from Python, and it's a weird fit...

One thing that you can't do with just a function is have the .close() method, which may or may not be a fundamental issue.

For the Computer Scientists, the brain is far less like a CPU with an instruction memory neatly defining behavior, and far more like an FPGA where the configuration of countless lookup-tables defines the behavior of the design.

> "exponentially increasing intelligence" I find silly

Not really that difficult to imagine at least. Imagining being able to do all-nighters all the time. Imagine being able to focus entirely on a problem instead of being distracted by reddit. Then imagine being able to duplicate yourself without limit to collaborate on problems. Imagine a million copies of yourself working 24-hours a day without distraction on how to solve the resource problems need to create a billion copies of yourself doing the same thing. Then a trillion. Then imagine these trillion brains creating simulators that run a trillion times faster simulating DNA that can do in seconds what biolabs need a year to do. Once intelligence is free from the biological substrate, it's hard to see any limit.

My experience with MonoTouch has generally been very positive.
Why I love MonoTouch:

- C# goodness, especially event handlers instead of overly verbose ObjC delegates

- It's fun to port ObjC loops to oneliners using LINQ and lambdas

- I prefer somewhat ugly MonoDevelop to pretty-but-very-odd Xcode

- I can reuse both C# and ObjC code, and ObjC code is straightforward to port, if needed

- Xamarin support is friendly and helpful

There are some things that annoyed me:

- Some generic-heavy C# code will crash the device due to AOT limitations—learned it the hard way

- MonoDevelop hangs for a few seconds after you switch from Xcode, even if you didn't change anything

- You need to make sure you _understand_ how MonoTouch GC works together with ObjC reference counting, or you'll get memory leaks

- You'll need to learn to use Instruments to find those memory leaks

- Debugger often freezes (should've reported this)

- Binaries can get heavy, but not too heavy

- Compilation is impossibly slow on Air, barely tolerable on Pro

- Lack of tooling for binding ObjC code—I wish I could just drop ObjC files and headers into a MonoTouch binding project instead of compiling it to fat binary first

But still, I'm glad we went with MonoTouch.

That is currently all speculative. We don't know how much it would cost to build a thorium reactor. There is strong evidence that it would be cheaper, but has yet to be demonstrated. To quote the article:

"Safety features of nuclear plants seem to dominate the cost. There are many claims about the inherent safety features of thorium Molten Salt Reactors. But those claims have yet to be proven in working prototypes. If thorium reactor designs and prototypes could prove the claims of inherent safety mechanisms, then thorium could dramatically reduce the cost of nuclear power."

There were no sources on the original _why article. Sources were added because they had to be. It doesn't mean anything to say "the article would have been deleted if sources hadn't been added"; you can say that about any article in the whole encyclopedia.

That's perfectly fine, but Kurzweil is putting some rather precise dates on these things happening and how they're going to happen. I actually think strong AI is probably inevitable, but I have no reason to think it's going to take 30 years instead of 3,000.

The credibility of the claims is somewhat diminished by the convenience. His argument is literally "I am going to be able to live just long enough to live forever and resurrect my dead father."

And assuming we did invent strong AI, so what? It doesn't necessarily or immediately lead to a singularity. We already have several billion human brains and have had them for quite some time.
If Wikipedia were infinitely large and largely full of garbage, I would not notice. The Internet is "overwhelmed" with spam and vanity websites, and yet I don't notice. The issue is only, I will restate as you again seem to have ignored it, whether I might accidentally overly trust content I find on Wikipedia because it is on Wikipedia, and again: that is already a problem with paragraphs of larger articles, and there are better solutions that solve both at the same time (such as visualizations of edit controversy, as a particular example: IBM History Flow).

I already made these arguments: I do not see you responding to them; I, and other people on this thread, do not agree with your personal assertion regarding how the site will be "overwhelmed", so that is not an argument unless you can provide actual evidence that an infinite number mostly-pointless articles will cause Wikipedia harm. The closest you come is jut asserting that people will overly trust it, not why or whether deletionism is a better fix than my proposal.

(edit:) You also should tie the response back to the game in question: even if many of these spam articles should be culled, maybe the barrier to culling should simply be higher, in order to decrease the false positive rate. That was the argument made at the very top of this thread and, you know what?... you seemed to ignore it as well, as you only seem to care about the one issue: whether crap could exist and whether the site could get a lot of it if it had no filters at all... that isn't even controversial (and to the extent that it is, it seems to mainly be surrounding whether the specific things in your list were crap, not whether one could imagine something that was truly worthy of being deleted, even "speedily").

Ugh, No. 2 literally made me facepalm. Despite that, I still think that's a problem with the writing, not the directing, though he likely could have changed that line if he felt the need.

In regards to No. 1, they were already pretty close when they started the 'charge', and the machine gunners were not in trenches. Although far too few people seemed to be getting hit with gunfire during that charge scene.
It actually is wrong, in that its summary on Microsoft Research's site shows it advocates for a permutation of a counter (e.g. LFSR) as a solution to glitch attacks against CTR mode.

That's completely ineffective. The paper by Jaffe shows how to perform DPA (passive, not active attack) against various counter modes of AES, despite the permutation in use for the counter.

There are a few javascript-based solutions for testing

* Optimizely (A YC company with a WYSIWYG editor for specifying variants)

* Xander.io (Targeted at developers with HTML5 markup to specify variants - full disclosure I help with this project)

* Visual Website Optimizer

There are also server-side solutions depending on what framework you are working within.

On getting started:

You need a goal for your pages (or collection of pages). It could be you want users to sign up for a mailing list, or donate to a cause. As long as the goal is clear, you will have a direction to work your hypotheses towards.

Once you have the goal, coming up with pages and content is the fun and difficult part.

I like to think of pages as a combination of sections, with each section having a bunch of variants - we wrote a simple example with xander.io - http://www.xander.io/tutorials.html and there are a few on each of the services I linked above.

It's definitely worth figuring out, let me know if I can help!
Then I don't get your point. One of the major advantages of heroku over raw AWS is that you don't need to do the server maintenance - it's all done for you. And yet you say that the distinction blurs when people use puppet - which is not true.
Long story short.

For breeder reactors getting neutron balance on to critical level is very challenging. You need one neutron to breed fertile material into fissile and another neutron to split the fissile nucleus. Usually 2-2.5 neutrons are released in fissions of U-235, U-233 (bred from thorium-232) or U-239 (bred from U-239), but some of the neutrons are absorbed by other materials in reactor, some other neutrons are leaked out from the reactor core etc. I would say this is the main reason, why breeder reactors are not common.

U-235 is the only fissile isotope available on earth so it was a natural choice for power generation.
Yes there is - first link in the "Other Platforms" bar under the main image.

>where every atom of your body is replicated with pristine accuracy. Otherwise you are not yourself anymore.

Thats a very strong claim which you provide no basis for, in that comment or in your follow-ups.
Maybe replication at the level of neurons, as opposed to atoms, would work? Or maybe at an even higher level? We don't know yet.

>Are we more intelligent than homo sapiens 3000 years ago? Perhaps more scholarly, more literate, more capable of engineering complex systems. But our inherent, base intelligence is not any different.

We don't have the ability to self-modify, or to scale our intelligence horizontally (e.g. by copying it to more hardware), which an entity executing on a computer system could have.
That's one of the main points of the argument for singularity.

Your post is extremely dismissive of the singularity arguments, but you don't seem very familiar with them (e.g. that the singularity argument doesnt apply to just human upload, and also covers artificial intelligence (read the wikipedia article)).

I'd personally agree that people who say a singularity will happen at some specific date soon are over-speculating too.
Positing "highly intelligent AI" as a solution to brain uploading basically says "you know that implausible bit of science fiction, let's solve it with another implausible bit of science fiction". Until you can demonstrate the plausibility of super-AI, you can't propose it as a solution to a similarly implausible problem.
False alternative. Two things better than a Wikipedia article on cipher modes:

1. Britannica choosing not to have an article on it since they can't do it justice.

2. Papers or books (you know, things that cost money and real effort to develop) on cryptography that give much more thorough, accurate, and unbiased information.
You most certainly could live in a mansion up north in the UK for that sort of money. Good luck finding anyone willing to pay anything close to that though!

I think it's common goal for people to try and make their millions in such a place as SF so they can leave the area and live like kings elsewhere. This is fairly obvious just looking at the rents here, and in places that have the perception of creating more millionaires (usually through business) than others. You know the mindset: live rough and work hard for 5 years to earn what most people take a lifetime to earn.

Personally, I think that is possible in many places around the world, certainly places that will have a nicer standard of living, however you wish to measure that.

- You need to make sure you _understand_ how MonoTouch GC works together with ObjC reference counting, or you'll get memory leaks
- You'll need to learn to use Instruments to find those memory leaks

Interesting, reading that makes it sound like a C# developer that wants to work with MonoTouch will have to verge off to learning at least some Objective C if they want to have shippable code. The coder side of me is always up for learning a new language but if shipping was my utmost concern I'd want to get right to coding in C# and let MonoTouch take care of the rest. That doesn't appear possible.

How much time do you think a C# developer with several years of experience would need to put into learning the ins and outs of ObjC memory management before their code could be considered close to production level?
I'd be a little concerned that you're abandoning the network you've built in SF. I guess it depends on the business you're starting, but when I co-founded my consulting company, all of our initial clients came from my existing network.
