So the question remains: would you personally come to my house to cease it and explain to my kids that they are now homeless because their daddy simply disagrees with what you think is right and refuses to pay to people you believe are good?
I was going through the learn go lessons from the main website, and when I got to the portion about creating a custom image interface, found it very difficult to piece together a working example.. I finally got that frame done, but when I had finished it took so long that I had to do something else and have yet to get back to it.

It was pretty interesting, and I find a few bits were harder to deal with than others (such as {} being required for conditionals, even when on the same line) in terms of my own habits. The language wasn't particularly difficult, but when I got to a few of the higher lessons/challenges, getting the answer took more time than I thought it should, or would with any other language for similar problems.

Searching for go examples is worse than when C# first started out.. searching "golang" yields slightly better results, but still not the easiest thing to search for examples with/on.
Well, if you download, say, TL3 from Leon's page (a subset of SN), you'll immediately see that the "predecessors" are essentially the same language. Same Ogre, same UI. You can even call pieces of it in modern Lush. The name change is irrelevant.

I'm a Java guy and I've been learning Go on the side just for fun and so far I like it. I've found the documentation fairly easy to get through (the fact that there are examples right in the documentation makes me like it better than Java).

I don't think the language is perfect, but I think it's well on it's way to getting there.
Your age is irrelephant.
Chomsky has always been open about the fact that he believes the moral thing to do is criticize and scrutinize one's own nation and government first, because that is where you have the highest possibility of influence.

Despite being atheist/agnostic, he takes this principle straight from the Bible: "How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." Matthew 7:4-5
Or the comments of others. So I could pay to tag your comment with a clever gif or something.
Also there is much more chance a bad call will get listened to because it is more likely the customer will complain.
I should get a patent on "making money by asserting patents".
Then I would only grant myself a license and hence have the only patent left that can make money.

Seriously. The way out is a blanket "No software patents" statement from congress; or along the line of what Twitter is doing where all inventors have to agree if their patent is used offensively (although lawyers at my company tell me that such a restriction actually has no legal standing).
I'm not sure about totally won - here is a demonstration of a gasoline-powered flashlight, which might create a resurgence of this method for power tools. At 0:30 he expounds on the advantages of the device.

I'm getting this too. Nothing showing up.
This is another example of a patent with a specific scope being given an incredibly broad title.

This patent is actually on selling web site commenters the ability to have their comment appear in some kind of distinctive format, which might be a different font, or it might be appearing before the other comments.

Yeah, us New Zealanders have kidnapped lots of US citizens and handed them over for torture in opposition of own laws. We've established an overseas prison explicitly to hold people who would have rights if we imprisoned them locally.

I see now what I was reading wasn't HyperLoop it was a similar concept only using a vacuum tunnel.

>Safety is no small concern when you're talking about speeds in excess of 4,000 mph (6,437 km/h). After all, we've all seen the wreckage that can be caused in a 60 mph (96 km/h) car crash. The kinds of tube tracks we're talking about here would have to stretch thousands of miles in order to reach their optimum level of benefit – that's thousands of miles of safety risks. What happens when an earthquake strikes and cracks the pressure seal or destroys the tube completely? A vehicle traveling 4,000 mph is going to eat up some serious distance in an emergency stop situation.
So, the incredibly ridiculously generic claim 1 has been granted? I really have no more words to express what I think about software patents.

Well, an analogy can only take you so far.
Naval Ravikant on future of AngelList, what worries him
The only downside to J notation is some of the primitives use more than one character (something K solves). Otherwise, the notes are just written differently. I find old school APL impossible to read, basically because I never bothered learning it. Yeah, it looks like line noise to the uninitiated: so does APL notation.
It's easy enough to change primitive names to stuff which is more wordy, but by the time you're capable of it, the original notation becomes a feature, not a bug.
Q'Nial was more wordy and easier to get into. I thought of using it, but the author is not interested in keeping it going.

Not everyone is susceptible to allergic reactions. Without modern medicine, the people who are susceptible tend to die relatively quickly. Seems like the analogy leads to the decline of the united states and the rise of some other country that doesn't suffer from this particular affliction. They will probably have other problems though.
Are you trying to imply that claim 1 has anything, and I mean anything, inventive? BTW this was filed in 2011, not in 1996...

The hygiene hypothesis "is used to explain the increase in allergic diseases that has been seen since industrialization, and the higher incidence of allergic diseases in more developed countries."

This is to say that it's a relatively recent problem; one that has not applied selective pressure over the millions of years of evolution you're talking about, but rather the past ~200 years or so. My non-biologist understanding is that you can expect evolution to a relatively good job of adapting to slowly changing conditions over a long period by selecting for the vanishingly small number of mutations that happen to be beneficial.

My citizen understanding of government is that we should expect more of it than that, or it will continue to suck.
IBM has already applied for a patent on patent trolling: http://www.google.com/patents/US20070244837
Still doesn't seem like a very novel idea worthy of a patent.
May I propose "Acquired democracy deficiency syndrome"?
His 'worldview' is essentially 'the U.S. shouldn't interfere with the self-determination of other countries'. It's an uncontroversial position enshrined in international law. It only becomes problematic when you feel the need to defend U.S. actions that contradict what is essentially simple elementary morality.
Objectivism is not anti-government, and indeed, sees government as necessary in order to protect the rights of individuals (all individuals) from those who would otherwise violate them.
Disregard, then fight it later if you grow big enough to matter.

For me the most interesting part in this patent was a "PATENT CITATIONS" section. Most of the patents in this section are quite obvious as well. Like Amazon's "Method and system for placing a purchase order via a communications network" basically describes every E-Commerce site on the internet.
At first I thought, great, where's the demo?

Then I realised it was the demo. Cool idea to make the about page the demo.

Think of this as a practice session. What happens if a blight strikes one of the world's staples? Like rice, or corn? If that happens, you're talking starvation on a global scale, not just disrupting someone's breakfast routine. So acquiring the skills to defend/defeat something like this will be very important to the race.
People seem to get away with non-apologies all the time (of the "I'm sorry you're such an oversensitive asshole that you were offended by what I said" variety) , so I'm not sure true contrition is necessary. In fact, it probably makes you look weak in this day and age.
Not at all, only that it's not what people are going to think it is by looking at the title.
Thank you, that's cool! I have been looking for Deca for hours in my Bookmarks and the Web, didn't remember the name. (I have collected some languages to study too)
Just a couple of things callers are surprising ambiguous about (this is just from the calls I've heard):

- Where are you calling from? (Shockingly, this one is absurdly difficult to get from some people)
- What's the emergency? (Often times, they don't even know)

So you have to decipher, poke and prod until you get a response. You have to also understand that emergency resources are limited. A cop at one address is one less available at another, more critical, location. Same with ambulances and firefighters. What may turn out to be a mundane call could have diverted precious rescue resources form where it's really needed. So it's not that simple.

"A man has a right to use a saw, an axe, a plane, separately; may he not combine their uses on the same piece of wood? He has a right to use his knife to cut his meat, a fork to hold it; may a patentee take from him the right to combine their use on the same subject? Such a law, instead of enlarging our conveniences, as was intended, would most fearfully abridge them, and crowd us by monopolies out of the use of the things we have."

Do you realize that a patent on "making money by asserting patents" wouldn't be a software patent? Please realize that the patent system is flawed in more ways than that, and simply disallowing all software patents is not going to fix the problem.
Thank you, I will check it :)
Yes, if I charge the uses, it has to be monthly, but even that, it's scary for me :) I never charged anyone online.
It's a shame you're being downvoted. Chomsky is clearly an idealist and he's never mananged to convince me he has a clue about how human beings and the real world actually work.

Would I like to live in peace and prosperity in Chomsky's dream anarcho-liberal world? Of course. Do I think humanity can get there in the next hundred years. No way. We are all allowed to dream, but thank goodness some of us are also realistic.

Your article main point is that 'Chomsky's lies are not lies - they are things that reasonable men can disagree about'. As someone who actually grew up in USSR and knows a lot about its history, I can tell you that reasonable men (ie historians) do not disagree about these things.

The more time passes from each issue, the more clear it becomes - which is why he's not taken seriously anymore. His excuses for tyrannical regimes just because they were anti-American are blatant.

We should all be thankful that we don't live in a world he wishes were true - that was already done on massive scale in Russia and millions have suffered as a result.

The difference in the quoted percentages is usually due to whether or not social security and medicare taxes and spending are included. If you include them, it is about 19 percent. If not, 45 percent sounds about right.

Answering myself: Yes, this is documented and can be depended on for Ivy Bridge onward.

3.5.1.13 Zero-Latency MOV Instructions

In processors based on Intel microarchitecture code named Ivy Bridge, a subset of
register-to-register move operations are executed in the front end (similar to zeroidioms, see Section 3.5.1.8). This conserves scheduling/execution resources in the
out-of-order engine. Most forms of register-to-register MOV instructions can benefit
from zero-latency MOV. Example 3-23 list the details of those forms that qualify and
a small set that do not.

Example 3-23. Zero-Latency MOV Instructions

He has said almost this same statement in a previous interview, and it is very troubling to me, and very indicative of why these programs should not exist.
The one on lady Gaga had a point which relates to the content of my post. It was not only relevant, but interesting, as was his subsequent comment on Alcubierre drives, which is a subject for a forthcoming post already taking shape. The dork who was attempting to "correct" my language was not interesting, and totalitarian numskulls like that deserve nothing but whatever blistering scorn I can muster at that particular moment.

The fact that this is even "a thing" with 30-odd comments about it is a sad commentary on the illness which afflicts modern civilization. If this isn't clear: I don't like people with such "refined" sensibilities, and they are invited to never, ever read my blog. If you're that sensitive, you belong by yourself in a yurt, where nobody's language or opinions will bother you.

Personally, I've never met an actual programmer of any race, gender or creed who actually is that sensitive. People that sensitive are mentally ill, and don't have jobs. I've met plenty of power-mad Cotton Mather sickos who think they have the right to police the words and opinions of others though. The fact that people think witch hunts over a fscking word are OK; that is not OK.
For objects, not for builtins such as `int` or `double`. In Clay, when you pass `int a = 3` (or the Clay equivalent) to `increment(a)`, then `a == 4`.
With respect, you really haven't provided a good argument here. Some references that support your claims would be helpful.
So, a vegetarian diet is without science on its side despite plenty of evidence to the contrary (not listing any sources, there's plenty of information available on the subject), yet someone marketing a nutrient goo with obvious nutritional deficiencies as a complete food replacement is totally okay. That's some odd logic, pal.
Agree. And typically programs to educate the public about the issue and programs you are raising money for are counted as "overhead" even though in many cases they are just as important as the programs themselves. For example, educating people about world hunger is as important as sending food overseas.
Organized crime? Like financial fraud...
It's important to note that this specific dispute has been resolved and modista is working again.
That's not a fair comparison at all. Building a hobby V12 like that is like building a modern brushless high-efficiency electric motor, not like building the toy you mention.

The combustion engine equivalent to the toy electric motor would be a simple stirling engine or even a Hero engine. These can be very easy to build.
I fear that perhaps the money problem is at the other end of the process. The money required to "get the votes" isn't the only monetary consideration.

Once you get voted in, all of a sudden you've got control over a – for all intents and purposes – unlimited money tap.

This encourages the sort of people who think "skimming a little bit off the top" of the government provided money flow (aka "stealing from the taxpayer") is OK, to enter the political arena for self-serving reasons.

I don't know how much this is a real problem – there's a good argument that "enlightened self interest" is perhaps the best motivator for politicians, but I know where I live (Sydney, Australia) our local state government is currently involved in many many scandals where politicians have been caught using their positions to create great wealth for themselves and their family/friends under extremely suspicious circumstances (mysterious real estate deals in areas which subsequently get significant changes in legal status, planning permission given to industries with no public consultation followed by executive level jobs or board positions when responsible politicians leave office).

In an "ideal world", people seeking political power for personal self-interest would be excluded in favour of people with purely altruistic intentions. Unfortunately that's about as practical as appointing me as Emperor of the Universe.
That said, Modista is back up!
Well this comes to mind, the US economical dependence on military and war:

"This is a very significant power group. And it is a power group that is not just at the top of the White House. It is not just a few generals. Rather it is all the people connected to and profiting from that system. And that's about a third of the US population. So all the way from Chelsea Clinton down to the someone in the gutters of San Antonio whose brother is deployed in Iraq."

Right. The trick is not to use something that's technically infeasible to block, but to use something that's politically infeasible to block.
I'm saying that it wasn't such a big deal, and it didn't affect anything FOREVER. I did a lot of things before I went back to college, and I've done a lot of things after.

>could have been much further already.

I do well. If this is peak income for me, it's an excellent peak income. I'm not looking to go "further" unless random events happen to drag me there. To be clear: if I had it to do all over again, I would have waited just as long to go to college. Out of all of the things I would change, that's not one of them.

edit: also, people who go to college do not have the monopoly on hard work. As a person who did an awful lot of manual labor in my life, what I do now doesn't even feel like proper work. I feel like I'm stealing a paycheck for doing puzzles all day.
Excellent point! Throwing in space travel would be obvious feature creep.
