dart:async also provides the Stream abstraction that can be compared to Clojure(Script)'s core.async channels.

Libraries like dart:html and dart:io express their asynchronous APIs in terms provided by dart:async so the model is unified across the stack (e.g. HTML events are delivered through streams out of the box).

Here is the first example and third examples from David's post rewritten to Dart

https://gist.github.com/mraleph/5991990

you can see that it is not that much different from ClojureScript versions.

Isn't this self censoring one of the main goals of a Orwellian society?
So if I read that correctly, the same image file was available to both the defense and the prosecution.

When Kruidbos' discovery process found information that the defense hadn't found, he was concerned that he should turn it over to them.

Then he sought out a lawyer to parlay with the lawyers involved in the case, avoiding his office's chain of command.

Well, I think we'd need a lawyer to say what should have happened here-- Does anyone know whether the state is responsible for turning over everything they pull out of an image? Or is it enough to provide the image to the defense?
What if a computer passed the Turing test?
I'm currently working on three "different" applications/use-cases using a single platform:

- "Terms and Agreements" as a service. Applications and websites can delegate the Terms and Agreements process to my system. All contracts and agreement are signed and stored on my side.

- One-stop semantic contract management social network. A single location where you can track and manage all of your contracts, agreements, transactions. There is no limit to what kind of contract you can store and manage using this. The social aspect let people send offers to each other (and accept them). Contracts can have semantic data added to them, to make search, navigation and organization easier.

- One-click classified advertisement listing. List any item for sale with a single click (or in that case, picture).

Again, these are all interfaces to the same platform. They will eventually converge to be the same things.

We did a little human testing on our fraternal twin infants. The slightly smaller of the two was fed formula which had HFCS as an ingredient, the other was fed formula not containing HFCS as the sweetener. Our smaller son quickly gained more weight and started to outweigh his brother by a pound. The (initially) smaller twin still outweighs his brother. They are now ~21 lbs and 19 lbs respectively @11mo

I just got my first job as a programmer in Barcelona. I don't have any education about the field so I've mostly play around with programming from 15 years age up until lately (20). Right now, I'm sucking in all information I can get from my co-workers (and the experience overall) while working on a product that will improve the income of people doing vacation rentals.
Yes. And didn't that bug stay in Debian for two years?

Open source code still needs people looking at it.
Very much like my experience. I actually did enjoy the articles, though. Reviews, there were some excellent regular columns, and some nice programming articles too.
even after reading all that it's not clear to me whether the output from rdrand (the hardware instruction from intel that's opaque, if i'm understanding right) is mixed with other sources of entropy or not.

at https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/30/116 linus says We still do our own hashing on top of whatever entropy we get out of rdrand, and we would still have all our other stuff. but then goes on to say I'd be even more willing to just take something that just introduces a per-arch interface to get a "unsigned long [ptr]" that is random, and returning the number of bits of expected entropy in that thing. And for x86 CPU's with the RDRAND capability bit, I'd give Intel the benefit of the doubt and just make it do a single "rdrand" and return the full 64 bit [...] which sounds like it would not be mixed.

so what was the final outcome?

[also, perhaps worth mentioning explicitly - the argument that you shouldn't care too much about this is that if you don't trust intel then you're fucked anyway. which doesn't fill me with warmth and joy, but what can you do?]
That's like saying "you can't calculate x on a cell phone because it's slower than on a desktop". Yes, there's an exponential slowdown, but that doesn't mean impossible.
Maybe it is just me, but I prefer logically to think of actors (or processes) as concurrency primitives not channels, kind of like what Erlang has. For example in go the primary question is "what channel to I write or read from?", in Erlang it is "what is the pid of the process, so I can send it a message?".
We qualify, we're still losing money! :-)
The Debian RNG bug was noticed by folks who found identical certificates in the wild, not by code inspection. Similar RNG weaknesses are commonly found in closed systems as well, so it doesn't seem to be a particularly open/closed source thing.

It's not about some players performing better than others.

It's about the game maybe having a better outcome (for everyone) in one case than the other. Maybe it's not surprising that 'extra' information improves the game. But a point of this article (IMO) was to formally show that you could link the notion of 'extra' in physics to 'better' in game theory.

I'm not arguing that this is profound, but it's not completely trivial either.

What's the suggested attack here?

That Intel is cooperating with the TLAs and providing a weak on-chip random number generator? Or a random number generator that can be made to be weak? Or what?

And how credible is the risk when that information is used to seed a pool of entropy, rather than being used raw?
Thanks for the comparison, the first example is just for fun - I'd be more far curious to see the final Rob Pike example.

It's open source and can be self hosted. With proper SSL would you still consider it pointless in that case?
Honestly though, as a layman in math, a lot of the most important math discoveries seem like this to me. For instance, Godel's incompleteness theorem: You mean you can't make a system prove itself within its own bounds? You don't say. Or the axiom of choice: "the product of a collection of non-empty sets is non-empty." What a surprise.

I've since accepted they're probably really important and non-obvious from a more rigorous and formal standpoint. Maybe this discovery is the same way.

Everything has a database abstraction layer available. The problem is that programmers often don't use them. The perl CMSes obviously aren't using DBI, or they'd still be supporting Postgres... no need to turn the thread into language-related complaining when it is a universal problem.
> There is nothing all that silly about it. It simply interprets the Constitution in the way you would a contract--based on what the parties intended the document to mean at the time of the agreement.

For contracts relating to small situations that would make sense, but for a piece of writing that is meant to apply to a whole country written by a few old men centuries ago is that really the most prudent choice?

We know so much more than they did -- e.g. science now tells us that we can actually quantify pain (both physical and emotional) with remarkable accuracy [1]. With the understanding and new knowledge that has become available in recent time it's likely that the founders would have had a totally different take on things, so I see slow and small nitpicky rectifications on minor points to be misguided in numerous respects since for all one knows founders' approach to several issues would have been altogether different if they had access to the abundant new findings and data that has only become available recently.

I'll give you an example: before I started getting into John Rawls writings, some contemporary philosophy (a lot of Sam Harris stuff), some writings on determinism, I was a libertarian. It was my access to new knowledge that informed my world view with a new and more scientifically rigorous take on things.

I mistakenly thought we were strictly talking about phones, not tablets. It's somewhat less perplexing to me with tablets.

> go out into the world an interact with the people using these devices. The answer will be obvious at that point.

I've done that, but I still don't get it. That said, I only really have close interaction with 2 people who use tablets (AFAIK). I see that with a tablet the screen is big enough to not be a pain. Isn't the on-screen keyboard a pain, though? Does it work just well enough to type URLs and fill out web forms? Or does it work well enough that people don't really care about not having a real keyboard?

IANAL but it seems to me the interests of justice would require informing both the prosecution and defense attorneys if a state agency finds evidence of any sort that would be relevant to a given case.

Jumping the chain of command is never a good idea. At least send your boss an email (and BCC your gmail) to prove that you tried to go through official channels.
I agree with what you said.

The main thrust of the critique as I saw it was that the OP could have done it when he was 14, which is what led to the "too picky" comment.

I wanted to see some numbers and some stats.
Europe is a place. Some ambassadors are being recalled who are stationed in the place. Hence, they are in fact being recalled from Europe. It is true that these countries are only recalling a subset of their ambassadors who are in Europe, so arguably the headline is misleading.
Very interesting idea. So NSA's spying was exposed, everyone noticed, talked about it, and it seems like a good thing. But spying didn't stop. Operations didn't change. Neither NSA, White House, Google, or Facebook said they'll stop participating. No apologies.

So all that changed so far is that everyone starts behaving or acting keeping in mind that they are watched. Self censoring is very powerful. It would be interesting to see the rate in filter hits NSA gets on "terrorist-y" keywords before vs after the leaks. That would indicate the amount of self-censoring. We'll never see those statistics anytime soon, but someone is seeing it. Wonder what they are thinking or how they are interpreting this.

Any Screenshots?
I watched the entire testimony on YouTube and from what I can tell, it boils down to this:

- both sides had an extremely hard to parse, near unintelligible raw source file (data dump from the phone)

- the prosecutor's office had purchased a software package that could turn this raw source file into a much more easily readable report

- the prosecutor's office didn't think that the defense would pay the several thousands of dollars for the same software, in order to generate the same report

- the prosecutor's office provided only the raw source file and declined to provide any of the auto-generated reports which were meant to extract data from, organize and allow for easier analysis of that source file

- the IT guy knew this and was afraid that in the future, someone could claim he acted in negligence

- unbeknownst to the IT guy, the defense had indeed purchased other 3rd party software and successfully analyzed the entire source file

- the prosecutor hinted that the IT guy's testimony is him getting even for being the (unconfirmed) target of a leak investigation earlier in 2012

So does the prosecutor need to turn over the software-generated report to the defense? Or only the raw source files which powered the software? That's the question and I am unqualified to answer. But if it's the former and not the latter then the prosecutor messed up and was caught red handed.

FTA: "Kruidbos said he became concerned that lead prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda might not have turned over Kruidbos’ report to defense attorneys. ... [his lawyer] then contacted one of Zimmerman’s attorneys and learned the defense had not received the report generated by Kruidbos.

He said he asked [his lawyer] for legal advice because he was concerned he could face “legal exposure” if the cellphone report wasn’t turned over to the defense before the trial started.

He said he did not feel comfortable posing that question to anyone within the office because the State Attorney’s Office had just conducted an in-house probe of whether someone was leaking personnel information."
Well, in the context of refactoring, it's presumably compile-time safety that's relevant.

I'm surprised no one else in this thread has said anything. Maybe there's some more context?

The only context provided so far is that LA Times article talking about a sighting of an "unmanned aircraft or drone" near JFK in March, with (AFAICT) no connection with this forum post at all, except one or more of the posts in that thread also seem to mention JFK.

Is anyone actually taking this seriously? Do people not know that forums are full of bullshit the world over?

Edit: in fact, this person seems to be pushing these "Parastoo" self-published press releases rather hard, which themselves seem to be bullshit aimed at pressing members of the IAEA to publicly denounce Israel (while trumpeting their own hacker cred, of course). The only way anyone is ever going to see the threats in those releases is if they get eyes on them. There may be a story in chaining together these seemingly grandiose claims, but it's not in this random forum post of non-descript screenshots, and until I see evidence otherwise, I'm going to go ahead and assume this person is here to try and get "grassroots" attention on their self promotion.

"Just because something is closed source doesn't mean it's insecure"

Yes it does. Closed source, to the extent it impairs audits, does mean something is insecure.

It does not prove that the software is backdoored, otherwise compromised, or defective in any way - if that is what you meant, you're correct. But security means not only absence of these conditions, but also that you can verify that these conditions are absent.

Security is relative. "Secure" is a short form of "high enough confidence". There can be a rational basis for high or low confidence, based on various factors, including testing and likely motives of the parties. Closed source itself is a bad factor. Collaboration with the USG is a very bad factor.

FTA: As for why he did not approach Corey about his concerns in the Martin case, Kruidbos said Corey has a close relationship with de la Rionda and “any attempt by me to go to them and say I think something wrong has happened would not have been taken seriously, and then ultimately held against me.”

“I consulted an attorney, which is my right,” he said. “I had concerns about what I had seen at work, and this was just how it ended up playing out.”

"This weekend I was in front of a TV and people were watching Randy To The Rescue."

Funny use of language there, especially given he goes on to explain the episode and quote from it. I think that means you were watching television. Which is ok! Don't worry! You're allowed to watch television, even shows like Randy to the Rescue. I won't think less of you for it.
For anyone wondering, he literally does not say that.

The previous three comments, from three different people, all seem to think that we're stuck with corn syrup because we can't grow enough sugarcane in the US.

But sugarcane is not the only way to produce sucrose!

Sugar beets currently account for 55% of sugar production in the United States. [1]

What's more, sugar beets will grow in relatively poor soil. Top four sugarbeet-producing states: Minnesota, Idaho, North Dakota, and Michigan [2].

Notice how these are not states renowned for the quality of their soil. Idaho grows a lot of potatoes not because they want to, but because the soil won't support a more valuable crop.

So, we're chewing up our best agricultural land and paying billions of dollars in subsidies to grow an inferior substitute to sucrose. Instead of growing the real thing on our marginal agricultural lands.

It's not even close.

https://openexchangerates.org was running as a free, no-signup-required ad-hoc currency API for about 8 months before a friend of mine kicked my ass and made me install a signup. I spent months playing with PayPal, test accounts, sandboxes, writing features nobody has yet used - but ultimately, when I put a "pay now" button on, I got my first subscriber the same day.

The old advice rings true: the hardest thing was asking for money. People were happier to pay than get it for free, because it ensured this service they needed and loved would still be around, and its developer could eat :)

The service really only grew thanks to the feedback of those early (and future) paying customers, too. They have asked the hardest questions, requested the most useful features, etc. - that has shaped the product and business more than anything.
