He was being sarcastic. I think his point is that because English was not designed it is far less efficient than it could be, and far more complicated than it need be. Therefore it is not a good language to imitate when we go to design programming languages.

Some of the larger combats (5000+ ships) in EVE Online might do that.

(I single EVE out because other MMOs generally shard by user-cohort, so having that number of people on one shard is impossible. EVE, meanwhile, shards by location within the virtual world (each star system is a shard), so the entire player-base can "gather" on a single shard for a confrontation.)
f∈Θ(g) is equivalent to f∈O(g)∧g∈O(f). This isn't really a "tight upper bound." For your spikey function f above, we have f∈O(n^2) and f∈Ω(n). These bounds are tight in the sense that there are no strictly tighter bounds. That is, there exists no function g with f∈O(g)∧g∈o(n^2) (there is no function asymptotically smaller than n^2 that bounds f from above). So for this f one could reasonably consider n^2 to be a "tight upper bound", although one would need to pick a spikey bounding function to say anything involving f and Θ.

The problem of having an infinite number of inputs of size n is usually not a problem, because there are finitely many bit strings of each length. If an algorithm uses subroutines that act on input objects of unbounded length (like comparing arbitrary-precision integers), and you are only interested in the bound for the number of subroutine calls, then there might be some trouble with the notion of an average case across a fixed input size. This is a bit silly though; it's more a way to define "fixed input size" into describing "unboundedly large input size" than something I would actually want to do for some useful purpose.
So your language here is the language of control: "enforce", "disable", and "attack" prevention.

The point is simply that there is a power discrepancy between copyright holders and everyone else, and that by limiting power the copyright holders are exerting control over what happens to their creative expression.

I don't really understand why this is contentious, I just see it as a fact about the GPL. The FSF routinely refers to BSD-style licenses as permissive, which means the GPL is restrictive in comparison. "Restrictive" is another way of saying "controlling".
Thought this was Snowden related from the title.
I think their reasoning for withholding a list of names of Al Qaeda affiliates is a bit weak, but I can still see how it might make sense. After all, we're fighting for transparency because we know information can be powerful, but that power is not always a positive force. Information can aid in organization, and we do have an interest in keeping our enemies disorganized.

The real question is, do other comprehensive lists of Al Qaeda affiliates exist? If so, then releasing this list would probably not substantially increase the information currently out there.
It doesn't feel right to take a story about perhaps the most important crisis we are currently facing as a planet and make it difficult to read.

Whenever I see an article with a headline like this, I always wonder... was it actually faster than anyone ever predicted? Was there really not at least one crazy guy in the 70's who said "Man, Greenland's ice sheets are going to be completely gone by the year 2000".

> The iDen network is basically analog,

You mean the Integrated Digital Enhanced Network is analog, wait what?

The actual problem why noone has come up with a solid way to support PTT on cell phones other than iDEN phones is because iDEN is a rare breed of radio system called a Cellular Trunked Radio System, it was designed to provide a trunked radio system that could scale to large footprints. Unfortunately it never caught on with anyone but Nextel and a few other providers, most likely because of the need to totally replace other systems. Project 25 did not have this issue because agencies could gradually transition from analog conventional and analog trunked systems to digital Project 25 trunked radio systems or hybrids thereof.

So, iDEN was intended to primarily support trunked radio like features, Direct Connect and Group Connect are two of those, several bolt on upgrades later provided us with Nationwide Direct Connect and Nationwide Group Connect. This is why it performs so well at those (infact, from what I have seen, outperforming existing trunked radio systems).
Claim 1 is fairly specific. All points (a) through (d) have to apply.
> The style one can program in and the style it is implemented isn't connected the way you think it is.

The implementation determines what happens when synchronous, blocking code, well blocks.

In Go it yields to another green thread (Goroutine).

In any language implemented on the JVM (including Scala) you block an OS level thread.

The way languages without green thread support allow non-blocking, event based code is through callbacks, which can get pretty horrendous in large, complex programs.

> Unlike Go, where people seemingly put random stuff into the language, it's just a bog-standard library.

I'm not sure why that is relevant (Actors seem a pretty core part of Scala), but I guess it is unsurprising that a mere library on top of the JVM is still constrained by the kind of concurrency supported by that platform, i.e. the lack of green threads.

You've got to be kidding me right? The majority of programming languages are made by men, it is statistically likely any discussion of programming languages involve those made by men. You might as well attribute any discussion of programming languages as sexist.

I'm not sure if this response should have a /sarcasm tag on the end because it's more sexist then the original comment.

So it sounds to me like the main issue here is that the original poster did not understand Forking and Pulling, and how important it is to compartmentalize your team using those 2 GIT(hub) features?

You don't go handing the keys over to the main repository to just anyone. You make contributors fork your work, then you pull in changes that you like. This leaves you 100% in control of versioning and the main branch of the project.
> context switches passing tcp-packets back and forth from the operating system were taking up 35%

You could get rid of this (and in doing so, double your TPS) by switching to a memory-polling-based network driver like PF_RING [1] (and obviously, keeping the kernel on its own core like you are doing).

> Lookup data in memory (this is fast enough to happen in-thread)

Does all your data live in cache? If not, have you tried using perf [2] to measure load stalls? They are typically the bottleneck once you get past context switches. Hyperthreading should help at least somewhat here (do you have it enabled?).

AppleInsider: Samsung has not 'dethroned' Apple in profits

No cart before the horse. It's just a potential feedback mechanism - if something else is causing warming, this may help accelerate it. It's not an isolated factor.

My weather science is weak - which is why I can't say what the extent of this is - it's just that shiny snow moved into the atmosphere does not necessarily cause an equal amount of shiny clouds. It may even create more clouds - the same amount of water makes more cloud than ice - but it's a complex picture, and warm air can hold a hell of a lot of water in invisible vapour form.
As young startups, we all seek engagement and feedback. So we may overreach because we want someone to acknowledge and respond.

I dont know why this is being upvoted, the stack overflow question is a personal rant that doesnt really make any sense.

But to answer the question, the best open source projects I have worked with have had peer review, someone else on the project is the one who actually pushes your code into the repo, this works a great sanity test and catches most of the common implications that you may have missed, but another good part of this is that it works as lazy concencus now all the people who may have issues with your patch have the opportunity to discuss it before it lands while at the same time not adding too much overhead and bureaucracy to get code landed.

The other thing is that the code (or individual parts) have to have owners who have the final say in any disagreements, its impossible to get everyone to agree on every change and sometimes an owner just needs to come in and make a final decision, open source that attempts to work as a democracy has a very hard time in my experience.

> For me, no exceptions is a show-stopper.

> For me, no exceptions is a show-stopper.

Go has exceptions, but it differs from, e.g., Java in that:

1. It handles raising and recovering from them, and specifying actions that must happen whether or not an exception occurs, through two built-in functions (panic/recover) and a simple statement (defer) rather than a multi-armed structured syntax (try/catch/finally).

2. The built-in functions and standard library use panics (Go's exceptions) with more restraint than is idiomatic in Java.

> In a typical scenario, I might be working on an utility that does some IO. In case of error, I just want to do some cleanup then exit. With exceptions, the control flow will jump right up to the places were cleanup has to be performed.

And this works fine with Go's panics. You'll be more likely to need to decide that something is panic-worthy and explicitly panic in your lowest level call in Go than in Java (just as, conversely, you'll be more likely to need to explicitly catch and handle an exception thrown in Java for something that's not really exceptional in your use case.)

But aside from that, there's not a lot of difference.

> With return values, I need to check return values at each step of the call stack, which is tedious and ugly.

Or check them at the lowest level of user code and, if there is a problem that is truly exception/panic worthy at that level, call panic().

If you are checking errors at each level of the call stack just because the lowest level function uses (as is typical in Go) a secondary return values to report conditions outside the scope of the main return value, you aren't dividing functionality up properly between functions. Generally, I would think, the lowest level of user code that is specific enough to make an intelligent decision should either be collapsing out the unusual-condition secondary return value or initiating a panic, depending on how the condition involved relates to the purpose of the code.

"Bad parenting is the real problem ... not rely on filters of dubious effectiveness."

I'm not sure how this is an argument against the filter? We agree that "parents need to supervise and educate their children about internet use", in the same way that parents need to supervise and educate their children about crossing the road. That doesn't mean we do away with traffic lights. The filter will surely help facilitate parents in their efforts to protect their children. If they don't want it, they can have it removed.

"It also sets a poor precedent that objectionable content can be blocked ... promote education over flimsy, disruptive, and money-wasting "solutions"."

This is really the same argument, reiterated. Why not promote both good parenting and "solutions"? Many people don't have the technical expertise to set up filters of this kind on their own (I would suggest that in many households, computers are used almost exclusively by the children). They might have the desire to be responsible parents in this area, but not know how to go about doing it.

The only other point raised here is the "poor precedent" of blocking content. Is the argument here that it will lead to blocking of more content in the future? If so this a slippery slope fallacy. There is no evidence that this is the case. And if you really need to carry on watching porn, give your ISP a call. No one is stopping you.

We actually already lost a variety of bananas back in the 50s due to Panama Disease and it never recovered. The kind we eat now are reported to be less flavorful yet were resistant to the disease up until recently. There's plenty of other varieties of bananas, but the ones sold in most groceries (with the exception of a few exotics like red bananas) are all the same because they're durable and easy to grow/ship compared to others.

Also chestnuts have yet to make a real comeback since being nearly wiped out in North America[1]. Although it's not a plant, people used to eat passenger pigeons quite a bit in the 19th century and science has yet to bring those back.

Many people here say that it's suicidal to bet it all on a single API.

Yet, there's also a LOT of businesses that have thrived and they rely on API's. Examples being HootSuite (Twitter/FB api), SocialBro, BufferApp, SproutSocial, Klout, and a lot of social media analytics platforms. It's certainly a risk, but it's better to go forward with your plan, than not even try because you're afraid of being too over-reliant.

To mitigate the risk, is there anyway you can reproduce what the API does? Even if it's slightly shady, such as scraping.

Having worked in Java for several years this is both a great strength and weakness in my opinion. On the one hand it keeps everyone speaking the same language as opposed to some languages where it seems each team is speaking it's own dialect. On the other hand it can shackle the truly proficient, makes it easier for complacent programmers to remain so, and masks (temporarily) the incompetence of people who should not be writing production systems.

No, it's not. The pointed-to article says that if you travel with the density peak of a sound wave, you get reduced drag, but you'll need some other system (like a railgun / gauss gun) to actually provide propulsion. This article says "I bet it's more than that, I bet the sound waves are actually providing the driving force like in this cool YouTube video of acoustic levitation."
It's not. Prior art is newspaper advertisement. You can't patent something as new just because it's done with a computer, as everyone knows.

I bet this will be invalidated as soon as someone tries to enforce it. Easily.

But this viral market attempt suggest they will try to get money from some sucker troll before, which I'm all for.
I am generally reluctant to buy into theories about giant conspiracies, not because I think people in power aren't capable of desiring such things, but because I don't think they're capable of pulling it off. However, it doesn't have to be a conspiracy. All you need is a group of actors in a similar position/industry, each motivated by their own self-interest and following what is to them, the path of least resistance to their goal. From the outside then, it can look more or less like a big conspiracy and indeed I’d be willing to accept that there may be many minor conspiracies playing out (of the ‘you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours’ kind).

I don't think anyone is wanting the next war, IMO more likely what has happened is around about the wrap up of Gulf War 2, people in relevant industries started to realise that there won't be that many more fortuitously sized 'sandboxable' (if I may coin a term) hot wars that profit can consistently be extracted from. So what do you do instead? Get on the surveillance gravy train. It certainly seems like a pretty good gig doesn't it? Huge amounts of government spending up for grabs, very little informed oversight or ability for anyone to argue that too much is being spent. It's a government contractor's (or a government offical taking the revolving door's) dream.

> I've often read this argument, but i don't see how that is an advantage over using exceptions.

Go's way is better than Java style exceptions because Go has exceptions very much like Java's ("panics"), but Go isn't as likely to force you to handle them to address circumstances that aren't exceptional in the context of your use case, because the builtins and standard library don't tend to use them as much, preferring reporting conditions through multiple return values, which allows the decision to panic or not to be made by code written at a level that has some awareness of the use being made of the function so that it knows whether a condition is one which warrants a panic.
I think the novel part of it is the on-posting-comment payment. Which I certainly haven't seen implemented anywhere.
