Well, it doesn't quite appear like he's correct in how Linux is implemented:

So nothing that occurs inside a LOCK and UNLOCK operation will be re-ordered, but things that exist outside these LOCK and UNLOCK operations may be re-ordered in such a way that it appears that something before the LOCK statement actually occurred after it.

Fat-burning stops when you consume fat, not just when you consume carbs.

Effects of an oral and intravenous fat load on adipose tissue and forearm lipid metabolism.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9950782

"Six subjects were fasted overnight and were then given 40 g of triacylglycerol either orally or as an intravenous infusion over 4 h. Intracellular lipolysis (hormone-sensitive lipase action; HSL) was suppressed after both oral and intravenous fat loads (P < 0.001). Insulin, a major regulator of HSL activity, showed little change after either oral or intravenous fat load, suggesting that suppression of HSL action occurred independently of insulin."

There's nothing "edge case" about this. Attempts to articulate the "other side" of the NSA scandal have been amongst the worst instances of reporting and the greatest sources of misunderstanding we've had to deal with, and they can be found right in the bullseye center of the NSA conversation.

I'd say a better candidate for Golden Rule of the Internet is the tendency of people to collapse meaningful distinctions, and think that policing those distinctions is pedantry relating to far-off hypotheticals, but not to instances of their own behavior.
Again, don't get your news from RT.

How this works: defense counsel files a motion claiming a free-speech exception for D's actions. Judge looks at vandalism statute, finds that it doesn't conflict with First Amendment (and i should note here in passing that the First Amendment right is not unlimited; if you think it is, please give me your address so I can spray graffiti on your house). Now that the judge has issued his ruling on the law, he's disposed of the question and Defense counsel is forbidden to bring it up again.

In criminal trials, the judge makes decisions about what are matters of law. The jury makes decisions about matters of fact, because the jury members are typically not trained in law, whereas judges are. If you lose a case and appeal, then in the appeal court you must make your argument to the appelate judges on points of law - there is no jury in an appeal court. So the appellant argues that in a case like this, the trial judge misread the law. On the other hand, you can't bring up issues of fact at appeal, absent new evidence; if the judge conducted the trial properly but a jury rendered a verdict you don't like, too bad - there are some exceptions to this, but they're highly unusual.

Now, I don't know that I agree with the judge's decision in this case, because I'm not sure that an impermanent thing like a chalk writing ought to count as vandalism (although I haven't researched this or read the judge's decision onthat). But even though I may disagree with the judge's conclusion on law, the fact is that he's made his decision and now he wants to get on with the trial. The proper place to dispute that decision is in the court of appeals. defense counsel knows this perfectly well and probably has the appeal paperwork already written and ready to file, but it's easier to put on his shocked face for the public and hope that it raises awareness of his client's case.

Seems doubtful that people would be incredulous over driving the screen; capacitive touchpads of the time didn't take much power. Color iPAQs from 8 years earlier managed a few hours with a CCFL backlight--white LEDs weren't widely available back then, and lithium-ion batteries of 1999 sucked.

If iPhone guts powering a windows phone with a resistive screen came out before iPhone, it wouldn't have sold like crazy. Windows phone software had a start menu... the fastest text input was drawing misunderstood letters with a stylus, resistive screens had to be manually calibrated and were very inaccurate unless using a stylus; iphone-like typing just didn't work.

Unbelievable. I have new found respect for Kim Kardashian. That was incredibly smart.
That's rather what I meant. From the NY Times article on the rulings (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/27/us/politics/supreme-court-...):

The case concerning California’s ban on same-sex marriage, Proposition 8, was decided on technical grounds, with the majority saying that it was not properly before the court. Because officials in California had declined to appeal a trial court’s decision against them and because the proponents of Proposition 8 were not entitled to step into the state’s shoes to appeal the decision, the court said, it was powerless to issue a decision. That left in place a trial court victory for two same-sex couples who had sought to marry.

I'm belaboring the point to make clear that the Supreme Court did not rule on Proposition 8 itself.
As a parent, this is the thing that scares me most. The most risqué thing I found as a kid is very, very tame compared to mainstream Internet porn and I wonder what that kind of stuff might do if (when) my kids stumble upon it.
> Obviously if sharing songs via violating copyright weren't an option, listeners would happily pay a little more for Pandora premium or endure a few more commercials.

I don't think that's obvious, I think it's an empirical question. With N subscribers, Pandora currently makes $36 * N per year. If they raise the cost to $50, they'll make $50 * (N - x), where X is the number of subscribers they'd loose.

Of course, all the profit is basically split between the licensors. Pandora currently keeps nothing.

You are suggesting that 50 * (N-x) is "obviously" bigger than 36 * N, but I would suspect that Pandora has already tested it, and $36 provides the maximum possible revenue. If they haven't tested that, they are truly incompetent.

The Pink Floyd article mentions their IPO, but doling out IPO money to licensors is a temporary solution, and probably one Wall Street wouldn't take particularly kindly to. So the choice really is "the current licensing terms, or $0".

The set of APIs is closed under union.

A single function call specification is an API; and the union of two APIs is an API. So it's perfectly cromulent to say "We added 5000 new APIs to the WinRT API", as bizarre and confusing as it sounds, though AIUI only Microsoft routinely refers to single function signatures as APIs -- perhaps to make their products sound more impressive.

Ironically that song was a hit exactly 20 years ago... so no, it managed to do just fine without a streaming service.

But yeah, I would never go back to the old model of radio and music only being on physical media. In fact, we can't at this point.

> Playing music is a joy, something you can enjoy whether you make money or not from it.

Other than an on average greater passion than in other professions, music sometimes has the potential to be "just a job". You might dream of coding the next greatest physics engine, but you are stuck making the same boring apps in a domain you don't care about. Similarly, you might dream of composing and playing rock operas but you are stuck doing crummy session work for R n B artists. It's not that R n B is bad, but not every musician is necessarily a person that has passion for all kinds of music and all kinds of gigs in the music industry.

But yeah, making a living from it is not a right, just like any profession.
I'd say your statement is not true, type classes arrived early on and adjustments needed to made. I imagine adjustments will continue to be made as Haskell evolves as a language.

It is true that Haskell & its type system evolve together whereas core.typed must follow Clojure wherever it may go.
That's certainly what we've encountered; while engineering purity and cleanliness is very important, from a strict performance angle, most of the benefit is found by optimizing the number of requests and size of assets. This is further magnified by heavily-cached applications that don't even hit an origin server that often.

Of course, once the client side is heavily optimized, the server will be a next target.

While we're still quite in the midst of working on optimizations and are nowhere near perfect, we're making good progress and hope that by sharing our tools and the techniques we've taken to optimize times we can help others with our issues!

Serious answer: If your goal is that important to you, it's really a personal issue you will need to work out with yourself and your wife. I think that no book will be able to uniquely address your personal relationship.

Additionally, I am not certain that it is necessary to "eat junk food, sit at the PC all day, sleep on the couch" in order to build a business or change the world. Although it is romantic and might be doable for some people over the course of months and years, sacrificing (subjective) quality of life and sanity should not be the only path to building something meaningful that you care about. It will probably take a lot over work over the long haul. If the console cowboy lifestyle changes are the aspects of creating something that you/your wife are worried about, maybe address those separately from the goal of actually creating something, which I hope would not necessitate those behaviors.

This prosecution of an activist for writing slogans critical of a bank, on a public sidewalk, and using sidewalk chalk that disappears with a small amount of rain, or a light hosing, has absolutely no merit, and is an abomination to humanity, human rights, and sanity. Justifying it and claiming it is a reasonable prosecution and the judge is being fair as you are doing is absolutely inexcusable.

Hi. Apologies if that came off as too curt - typed quickly on my phone. With the above said, I still light table is miles ahead of what everyone else is doing.

My background is as an architect (buildings). For me, most of the issues I'm interested in solving are to do with interaction with visual information (2d and 3d) rather than working with reams of code.

I was most excited where I saw the Light table demo where there was dynamic editing of a game (inspired by the Brett Victor video?). The more recent developments seem to have largely focussed on making it have the full functionality of a traditional editor with some additions. What I am looking for is something that can take over not just from a code editor but also take over from other kinds of programs. Examples might be something which can replace my photoshop actions palette or something where I can organise my screen to compare Google Earth and Openstreetmap data side-by-side or on-top of each other (and click on things to query what they are). Generally these are conceptually simple tasks which current tools and workflows make very difficult to implement.

I have to run but I hope the above makes sense. I'd probably need much more text for a fuller explanation. Happy to discuss.

There is a difference between getting a college degree and obtaining credentials required to gain an amount of income and security.

Two generations ago, they were almost the same thing. With automation, commoditization, increased college graduation rates, and changing economic situations, the effort required to obtain the same relative level of credentials has gone up. First it was a bachelor's degree. Then, you were nothing without a masters degree. Then came the MBA boom. Now we have startup incubators and aqui-hire.

A trial jury is supposed to decide factual questions, not legal ones. The judge tells them what the law is; the jury's job is decide whether the defendant committed a particular act, or not.

Arguments over what the law means or what's constitutional take place in front of judges, not juries. That's why ajuries are sometimes asked to leave the courtroom temporarily in the middle of a trial, or the judge orders attorneys into chambers - one side objects to something the other is doing as a matter of law, and the argument takes place out of hearing of the jury, because there jury is not there to decide the legal question, only the factual one.

Well, I'd expect it to before the Supreme Court on the merits fairly quickly, now that the Nevada and Hawaii the Ninth Circuit cases that were on hold pending the Hollingsworth and Windsor decisions can move forward.
Yes, exactly: would people bring up a free-speech issue if someone wrote "gentrifiers go home" on the side of a new apartment development or an anti-Semitic message on the walls of JCC or offices of an Israeli company (to compare apples to apples, I am not going to say a synagogue)?

I don't think a felony conviction or any kind of jail sentence is appropriate here due to no property damage being done and lack of intent to intimidate, but this is not a free speech issue. This is "prosecutors being douche bags" issue (still a very serious problem).

I am not in any way saying that property rights should always trump free speech right: California, for example, extends free speech to private spaces open to the public ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruneyard_Shopping_Center_v._Ro... ). I could even tangibly see a case if, e.g., wall of a privately owned building in a busy area has been set aside as a public chalkboard (for any kind of messages), but certain (otherwise protected) speech was excluded.

Defacement of property that isn't yours and to which you've not been granted access, however, isn't exercise of free speech.

I also find it ironic that most of the posters here disagree with ACLU on Citizens United: apparently showing a political film before an election is not free speech, but vandalism is...
According to Pandora about 800 musicians received over 50k a year from them and 2000 received 10k a year. So some people are making a living off Pandora. As Pandora currently has 7% the listeners of radio, it's entirely possible upwards of 10k musicians could make a 'living' off Pandora.

Why do you think Russia Today is reporting this story, while leaving out essential information about how the legal system actually functions? It's designed to make the US court system look bad. If they explained the procedural basis of the judge's decision it would be a non-story.
Perhaps because Google Weather[1] will actually control the weather. A Google Pumping station every half kilometer or so, they are going to use the barometers in Android phones to give feedback on their actions. So if you need sunny weather the pumping stations will pull air from outside the area in and heat it up, if you want it to rain they will create a low pressure zone by pumping air out to a different zone. They need all the barometers to control which pumping stations are on and how much air they pump.
