Thanks for your feedback. We do mention parallelization in the designdoc, it's just not implemented yet. It's quite easy to add though. We have a lot of features spec'ed out, but not implemented.

I would appreciate if you elaborated on separating step definitions from dependency definitions. In my mind, they are the same thing. If you mean that steps might not be connected by input-output relationship, but still have dependencies, Drake fully supports that via tags. If you mean that steps might be connected through input-output files, but not depend upon each other, I don't frankly see how it's possible. And if you mean some other syntax which more clearly separates the two, Drake supports methods which achieves exactly that. If you mean something else, I would love to see an example.

Thanks!
It won't help you with the translation part, but I have a small project that aims to take the next step in tested documentation after doctest: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/manuel/. Full documentation (tested with Manuel of course) at http://packages.python.org/manuel/
Mine is linked from my profile. It's a mix of grandiose bullshit and book reviews (sometimes these are the same).

Periodically I link myself in comments because it's easier than rehashing what I've already written.

One day I complained about a particular blog hosting service and that's the one post that made it to HN's front page.
I blog so rarely at my personal blog that it's almost irrelevant, but it's http://www.jroller.com/mindcrime

The Fogbeam Labs blog gets an update now and again as well, although I don't publish anywhere near as much content there as I should. But I'm sitting on a whole pile of ideas for posts and half finished posts, etc., so at some point content should start showing up there much more frequently.

I updated the tag input to always submit the current form (adding the in-progress tag). Spaces and commas are used to delimit tags.

I'll add more filtering options in the future for sure! Stumbling through your own pins would be a good source of inspiration I'm thinking.

Yeah the PC has peaked... sure... 355 millions of PCs sold in 2011, versus 346 millions in 2010 worldwide. What peak are you talking about exactly ?

Even with all the Smartphone BS out there, the PC market is still immensely bigger than all of of the smartphone/tablets combined. Why do you think people still make games and applications for PCs ?
I poked around a bit before picking it. The monitoring is what sold me -- I don't do anything like enough traffic for the performance stuff to affect me.

I looked at MariaDB, Percona and Drizzle. MariaDB is very close to stock MySQL, Percona is stock + lots of performance patches and monitoring.

Drizzle was still in the middle of proving Fredrick Brooks right about second systems.
They're creating plenty, no doubt, but Musk talks admiringly of Apollo and how valuable the experimentation and open designs of that era have been for SpaceX. It allowed them to focus on a much smaller design space.

Unfortunately, I can't find a good source for it (I remember reading an interview with Musk where he talked about it). I think everyone recognizes that they are standing on the shoulders of giants and says so frequently.

Interestingly, the Soyuz and Apollo programs, although their missions were similar, differed significantly in engineering culture. I heard a story about the Soyuz-NASA collaboration that lead up to the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo%E2%80%93Soyuz_Test_Proje...): NASA engineers met with Soyuz engineers and asked for engineering specifications, but the Soyuz engineers couldn't give them (or maybe they just weren't very detailed) because most things were in people's heads rather than documented. The Russians were iterative and practical, and had very robust systems, but they were not nearly as formal as the NASA blokes.

In the end, I wonder if that lack of careful documentation on Soyuz' part diminished its long-term helpfulness? Or did they later record their designs more carefully? I would be curious to know. Apollo documents are apparently available for aspiring rocket builders. Hurray for openness in publicly funded research.
I love my SM7's I get to use at my radio studio. Gorgeous warm tone. I'm stuck with some 58's at home though :(
I'm not big on IDEs either but how can you dislike revision control?
Well in the case of iTunes and Amazon they have written agreements with the copyright holders which give them permission to sell you copies as long as they pay the copyright holder a specific amount of money.

The way you know this is the case is that copyright holders sue people without such agreements in the court system. So when a record label sues Amazon for some service that offers copies of music, you can infer that the music label does not believe that there is an agreement in place which gives Amazon that right.
I post occasionally at http://blog.andrewcantino.com about stupid projects I do.
I would like to point out that there is a lower limit to budget mixing, of course - when the equipment fails to translate any noticeable change, even if you're sweeping the parameter a great deal and listening carefully. At that point you have a problem.

Is Facebook (privacy) respectable these days?
Lately a lot of people have been asking me to connect on Facebook. I used to have an account years ago which I deleted (through the two-week long process) due to privacy concerns at the time. However, it's been a few years now and I think Facebook has seen enough bad PR to maybe get the clue that folks care about their privacy, and I'm hoping that maybe it's a more respectable company now.

I've basically had my head in the sand for the last few years, ignoring all things FB. But I'd like to reconnect with old friends and more easily plan outings with new ones and I find sending group text messages clumsy at best :)

So can anyone offer comments on Facebook, as it is NOW in January 2013, and user privacy? Specifically, no matter how complex the privacy controls are (I'm a fairly smart guy, I can figure it out), my biggest concern is whether or not they're actually being ignored behind the scenes - based on my opinion of the company's past I wouldn't be surprised.

And if they actually are respecting individual privacy these days, do they have any features like Google+ "circles" to share certain content with certain people? Those pics of the girl making out with me at the party last night are great to share with my buddies, but maybe not my boss ;-) (Then again I do have a really cool manager at work...)

Thanks everyone.

Do Not Try to Recreate This 16th-Century German Cat Bomb at Home
The last time I had the, ahh, privilege, of checking sites on a current Interpol watch list was nearly a decade ago.

The content I viewed was more along the lines of Country Z that effectively allowed trade in human beings and the hosting of images of interesting things you could do with pool cues and 10 year olds. The material wasn't really subject to the kinds of ambiguity that, say, /r/jailbait on reddit skated. If not image sites then forum sites more or less dedicated active discussion of an unambiguous nature.

Not all the world is policed effectively and the debate about what should and shouldn't be policed within your own local neighbourhood, your state, your country, and in other countries is ongoing.

Globally we also have the wholesale manufacture, marketing, and distribution of weapons; the indiscriminate asset stripping of regions in turmoil to further the manufacture of mobile phones et al; and the offshoring of hazardous wastes to become somebody elses problem. These are things that arguably do more damage than actual child exploitation but tend to trip the moral compass less.

Hopefully one of the benefits of the Internet is greater global communication about and engagement with all of these issues.
Thanks for this! Read through the first couple of pages and it's got exactly what it says on the tin. Subscribed.
You didn't limit it to Asperger's but you basically limited it to Asperger's-like syndromes. (i.e. "due to the way their brains are wired".)

Only aspies have wires in their brains? ;-) I mean "wired" in a more general sense: one's predispositions, preferences, learned behaviors, adaptations, instincts, acquired skills, etc. I'm making the assertion that people who are drawn to computers, especially those who began at a young age, have differently wired brains from the population average, and that this preference for computing fields may be associated with reduced capacity for empathy. Whether it's due to developmental or congenital causes is irrelevant.

This requires that these people admit that their behavior is inappropriate, so we should start there.

You're already talking about someone who is acting like a jerk. Becoming confrontational is the last thing I would expect to convince anyone to want to change their behavior, much less a "jerk."

Imagine if we were having this conversation about racism or sexism. Would you be dismissing the behavior as a result of a syndrome or bullying or whatever? Would you propose that we should be suggesting a "pragmatic mental model"?

"Dismissing" isn't the right word. Again you seem to assume that I intend to excuse inappropriate behavior and that I expect it to continue. That is not the case. I am proposing a more rational, less reactive approach to persuading people to be more considerate. And I would indeed make a similar proposal if we were discussing undesirable behavior against a legally protected class, vs. a piece of code.

Is this a new analog of Godwin's law? If you wouldn't talk about it w/r/t race or sex or gender, you can't talk about it at all?

As for the "fundamental attribution error", you're just as guilty as anyone else. "He's doing that because he's got Asperger's" is no more situational than "He's doing that because he's a jerk". A situational explanation might involve the anonymization of Internet interactions or the dehumanization that comes from discussing a person's code vs the person.

I would consider those to be less situational explanations, at least the way you've worded them. I've avoided reading the original tweets at issue, so all I'm aware of is that the metaphor of bleeding eyes was used, which is common and inoffensive among nerds. If anything, that suggests that the original offender wasn't "being a jerk," but rather unaware that they were interacting in a space in which their metaphors would be interpreted differently than they expected.
Yes, I'm aware of the strips and have played with the ones from sparkfun. Those are really cool but I want to individually wire and control tiny led's onto a device. Picture a christmas tree that you could do effects on using the lights. Actually what I want to do is embed them into the plaster on a wall during a renovation to make it twinkle and change colors.
+1. They budget for these things and usually it's one of, if not the last, steps in the hiring process. Almost every time I've flown out for an interview, the offer came soon thereafter. They wouldn't be spending money on you if they didn't think there was a good shot at a fit, so as others have said, RELAX. Be at ease - they obviously are serious enough to spend maybe $1k on getting you out and back (hotel, flight, time with personnel in the office, etc.) so while you may not have it totally in the bag, I'd say if you don't fuck it up, you're almost there :) Just come prepared, know your shit, and you'll do fine!

Premature though it is, CONGRATS ON THE NEW JOB! :)
Somewhat offtopic, but your post reminded me that in Haruki Murakami's novel, Norwegian Wood, there is a minor character who is in her early teens who is a pathological liar and conspires to ruin another character's life.

Americans who call themselves libertarian often seem to be reflexively pro-corporate

That's not been my experience. Organizations like reason.com and the Cato Institute regularly criticize businesses that use government regulations to stifle competition and restrict the rights of customers. A solid majority of libertarians support either eliminating or substantially weakening IP laws. (There is a minority that believes that IP be treated the same as physical property, with infinite copyright terms and other silliness).
For example, Amazon has about half the market cap of walmart, but has 10% of the revenue. If you think Amazon can expand 5x, then focus on making similar margins as walmart, that would justify the current price.

But it's not exploitative to charge monthly fees that high, or require one to pay extra for tethering, or force one to pay extra to blacklist phone numbers from calling one, etc.? If they cannot afford to subsidize phones like that because too many people hate their service so much that they switch, quite frankly; fuck them. I'd much rather they need to compete instead of granting them monopolies and legislating against leaving their service with your phone.

I can certainly see your point about using Drake in an automated environment where this delay would still matter, but running a daemon is not practical. I think you have a lot of good arguments against JVM. There were some moments when I thought it might not have been the best choice as well - for example, Java world is notoriously poor with dealing with child processes.

So, I agree, but there are several arguments that it's not that bad after all:

- Drake is fundamentally an interactive tool. If you run it as a part of an automated process, all its flexibility is not quite needed. You could have Drake print a list of all shell commands it would execute, and save it to get your automated script.

- Most data workflows Drake is good for are quite expensive. Minutes, sometimes hours. Definitely much more than 5 seconds. The reason is simple - if your workflow takes so little time, you're really not gaining much by using a complicated tool like Drake, instead of just putting it all in a linear shell script, and simply re-running everything every time you need it.

- Maybe we'll find a good solution like Nailgun and Drip.

- Maybe someone will make a Java-code compiler that would create a stand-alone executable out of a JAR.

- Maybe Sun will eliminate JVM startup overhead. Or somebody will release a 3rd party JVM without it.

- Maybe we'll have a compiled version of Clojure one day.

- Other maybes. :)

We certainly would support any effort to port Drake into Lisp, C++, Ruby, Python or any language you desire. Porting it into Common Lisp might not be that much easier than to Ruby. We might not consider it ourselves, since the effort will be quite substantial.

Does it sound reasonable to you?

I suspect that the Ethernet switch is not part of the SoC, so it's a separate component that is already price-segmented. A consumer wireless router with 8+ Ethernet ports would probably not have significantly better margins than the existing models, but might need another round of FCC certification, and might also cannibalize sales of enterprise routers.

Also, I think most consumers who have a need for more than 4 computers to connect to their router via Ethernet probably don't want their entire network to have such an expensive single point of failure. I've had Ethernet ports on wireless routers die before. I like my switch separate from my router/AP separate from my modem.

I blog mostly about JavaScript/Canvas stuff, but my latest post is actually some advice that I kept repeating to different people until I finally made a post to point to. It's a piece on being positive:

I've gotten an enormous amount of thank you's for that post, mostly from when I wrote similar sentiment on reddit to encourage people, but its not really in line with the rest of the blog to date.

Unfortunately 100% of my blogging steam since last July has been forced into a book that's currently in the works (a tome on HTML5, nothing too exciting!). I'll be extremely happy when that's finished and I can return to blogging. I've gained a lot of intimate knowledge of Canvas in recent times, so there are an enormous amount of Canvas-related topics I want to cover. And the book, to say the least, is about ~200 pages of my canvas expertise and ~300 pages of "other" HTML5 :)

I'd really like to get more into storytelling too, alas, my time is so thin.

How exactly is that not a router? It takes packets and decides which of several interfaces to transfer them out on. That's the very definition of a "router". It even does such exotic stuff as dynamic NAT, firewalling, and DHCP provisioning.
Bad analogy. Partners in big firm get big bucks as the "rainmaker", legal skills are not why partners are paid well. If an attorney has only legal skills but no ability to land business, he will always be a junior partner at best or fired and replaced by a more promising graduate.

I don't know how you can solve that problem. The right of first sale works great when you have an item that, once sold, it guaranteed to be out of your possession. With digital media, it suddenly gets really murky: what does first sale mean if I can trivially hand you a copy?

As long as DRM is involved, you don't really own it, so we have to assume the removal of DRM as a pre-cursor to even being able to consider this question, but, once it's gone, thing thing your are selling is...what?
