Why Big Band Music Rocks More Than Ever: Part 1 - You Can Dance To It

There are still fans of Big Band music!

Java fans (or maybe I should say, employers) who want to keep exhuming this dead horse might be well served to emphasize "you can get a job" and "it's enterprise" and "JIT makes Java faster than Assembly" as they have been doing for decades, rather than tarting it up (a Java logo with an electric guitar, seriously Dad?) and comparing it to languages which are even more ancient. Java is closing in on 20 years old...
He'd likely be a free man if he were in Croatia or Kazakhstan.

In small countries with no culture of westerners living there long term he'd stand out like a sore thumb. In dictatorial countries they'd think he was a CIA operative and be tailed. Oh, and upon capture he'd be beaten until he told them every little secret, bitcoin passwords included.

So good old USA was better and SF is probably the best way for a guy "acting weird" and staying online all the time to hide. He should have retired a year ago. It's a like playing in a casino, you're bound to lose long term
SAGE? I know of the herb and the mathematical Python simplification.
I don't buy into it because most people don't use it for truly ground breaking projects, but rather as a social themed timewaster. They remain in their small communities (now more of a friends list) and don't "evolve" into a new being or anything like that. Just the old deal with faster ways of communicating.
I will oblige: The concerns of the law abiding majority override that of the law violating minority. An example of this is when murderers have their right to freedom of movement taken away. Surely you don't want serial killers running loose on the streets.

Do you see how easy it is to misrepresent someone's argument? We can do this all day but it would be a more productive discussion if we apply the Principle of Charity to each others' comments.

> No other network is supposed to be "ours". Roads, telephones, mobile networks and so on.

It may not be your opinion that they are supposed to be "ours", but the opinion that they are or should be is certainly fairly common, though the idea of what it means for them to be "ours" vary from an acceptance of current regulatory regimes to a wanting extensive decentralisation of control.

But the internet is special in this respect in that it currently is still reasonably outside of the control of both governments and private entities. That is not just due to history but also due to the nature of the network: It is a "meta network" layered on top of a bunch of physical networks, but that can be layered on top of "anything" that can move packets from one addressable note to another. It takes a lot to enforce control if you at the same time want people to be able to exchange information: Unless you are going to do complicated cryptoanalysis of every single packet passing through the system, people can establish their own new layers on top.

Tor, for example, is just an early precursor to what we can expect to see popping up, since experimenting with layering is so easy (you can set up your own "proto VPN" with a few dozen lines of shell script on many OS's), and people have incentives to avoid control.
I guess the issue then is that its hard to balance trying to be nice to the person and being honest in your review. Personally I don't have a problem calling out issues in my reviews because I feel like I owe it to future people who want to find a place on Airbnb to leave accurate reviews.

But yeah I agree that its not easy to leave a bad review sometimes. Usually there is a way you can word it that isn't mean or bad, but which lets future potential guests know what to expect.
As a Java and Clojure developer, I wholeheartedly agree, but your premise suffers from HN/GitHub bias. The amount of software written in Java (and you can add other JVM languages too), both in terms of developers as well as total features worldwide handily dwarfs Ruby and Python combined, possibly ten times over.

Just to get a sense for this bias, consider that IBM alone employs more than the number of employees in Google, Facebook and Twitter combined, multiplied by 9. If you add banks' huge IT departments, defense companies and more, you'll find that the entire Web software ecosystem is on the order of a few percents of the entire software industry.
I thought this had something to do with Drupal. I guess not :)
Light fonts are for accents or headers, not for body text. The body text should be normal weight and, in my opinion, should not be #5F5F5F either. That is unnecessarily punitive to the reader.

Here is an image comparing the original on the left and a corrected version with black text in a normal weight on the right. Note how much easier the right side is to read. http://i.imgur.com/WMJ8zcG.png
Going by LOC: I find I write less Scala than Ruby to accomplish a thing. To be fair I don't really include import statements in that comparison since I rarely actually write an import manually (IntelliJ alt+enter completion).

Learning where things are in the stdlib for Java is different, but not harder than Ruby IMO. Where is MD5 in Ruby? Or DateTime?

I can and do code Scala in ST2 on occasion. Mostly for gists. IntelliJ just makes working on bigger codebases nicer.

Anyways, just an opportunity to say: You don't necessarily have to trade in performance and verbosity. You can get a relatively succinct language, with much better performance, and still enjoy the ecosystem.
Honest question: Are their refactoring IDEs for Ruby, Python, or other dynamically typed languages?

Agree 100% about Java's verboseness. I really want type inference, lightweight objects, properties (vs JavaBean accessor convention), switch for 'instanceof', etc.

However. Java's verbosity is nothing compared to the verbosity of the common APIs and frameworks. All that DI, IoC, configuration via markup, etc. are terrible efforts to make Java more like a dynamic programming language. Even the built in APIs have design pattern-itis, with types, hooks, hierarchies aplenty.

Do read my comment below which explains better and do notice the quality of the comment I was answering to.
"Basic research" has been leading us to eradicate any and all microorganisms from our presence for decades. No doubt that this has been a great step forward in protection from acute illness, but far less is known about the tradeoffs we are making in terms of chronic disease.

As a case in point, it is generally known that children who grew up on farms have fewer allergies and asthma as adults. The mechanism behind this is not crystal clear, but raw milk consumption is a strong candidate. "Despite these risks there is a growing body of epidemiological evidence suggesting that consumption of unprocessed cow's milk does not increase but rather decreases the risk of asthma, hay fever and atopic sensitisation" (Braun-Fahrländer, C. and Von Mutius, E. (2011))

Treating the human body not as a magical place of cleanliness but as a germ-filled ecosystem is a critical step forward for science. We are only beginning to understand the role of things like gut bacteria in chronic diseases like obesity. I am personally less concerned what "basic research" has to say on the matter (germs make you sick, everyone knows this) and much more interested in the cutting-edge (certain germ exposures may prevent disease).
Rights are rules in a society. By your argument, they are not inalienable but imaginary.
Used the same approach, but with a google drive document instead of dropbox. But you can't skip updating all (or at least, most of the perimetral ones ) passwords when a employee leaves (unless you trust him even after he leaves). If he made a local copy of the Keypassx file (or even pasted every password in a document, to cover most of the other alternatives) removing access to dropbox or changing master password will not stop him to keep accessing the old passwords. And the same goes with certificates.
Almost all of my donations goes to local non-profits that my wife or I are on the board of or where I intimately know the organization's board, staff, and mission. I also usually support money raising efforts of friends for small amounts (like a walkathon).

The vast majority of the money is going to organizations that provide services to low-income people.

If you are looking for non-profit ideas that help the kind of giving I do, check out Razoo. Another thing those organizations could use is a way to lower operational costs, potentially by pooling with others.
I keep JavaScript turned off by default. Then I turn it on for only a few sites of critical importance for me which would not function otherwise. And I don't feel I miss anything, most of the content I care about is still HTML and it should remain so. JavaScript is not needed to show me the text.

That way the chances for cross site sripting attacks are greatly reduced and the content appears much faster.
It's not derogatory, just fact. The "aspie-ness" ramps down trivialities of the world and lets people hyper-focus on individual issues. When that hyper-focus is pointed towards "personal gain at all costs," the world suffers.

HFA people are, by definition, HF enough to operate coherently in the world. Sure, they may be considered "weird" or have no friends or wake up one morning and realize life has passed them by while they were hyper-focused on one thing for ten years, but they are still in and of the world.

For instance, Iran, one of the largest oil producing countries in the world, has to import refined gasoline, diesel, &c., because they lack refinery capacity. This in turn leads to enormous expenditures on subsidies to keep consumers and businesses running. One of the drivers for their nuclear program (setting aside the geopolitics of the bomb) is to reduce the cost of domestic energy production.

1. No, it really doesn't. This is entirely faulty logic.
Ads relies on many things.
The fact that something may have been strategically useful to protect one of those things does not imply it was strategically useful or had the goal of protect all of those things.

2. I'm not sure what part of "Android was meant to solve the shitty user experience on mobile" part you missed. Does it not occur to you that one of the main strategic goals was instead to prevent a shitty mobile experience from eating away at ad revenue from mobile apps? What does this have to do with tracking user behavior.

I have also already explained, multiple times now, the goal behind android. You have repeatedly cut off parts of sentences (for example, where i talk about others eating ad revenue from mobile apps, rather than "ads in general") to try to make a point.

I've also stated multiple times your actual theory is false. It was explicitly a non-goal to care about tracking user-behavior. I don't know how much more clearly I could say it than that.

I'm honestly a bit tired of arguing. As I said, you are welcome to believe whatever theory you like. It does not, however, change either history, or the facts.
Not if you just brand them the label 'Enemy combatants' - laws no longer apply then, apparently. I'm still waiting for someone to accuse and convict the US of war crimes and the violations of the rights of prisoners of war.
Aren't libertarians supposed to consider liberty (whatever that means) as the highest political aim? According to this definition, you can't get more libertarian that Roberts since he put his personal life at risk in order to increase the liberty of a few like minded cohorts.

I support neither drugs, libertarianism nor the Silk Road, but I don't like to see people judging who can or can't be a libertarian based on their own moral preconceptions. The only thing that matters in the definition is how much the individual in question has furthered the goal of more liberty.
>The only alternative is to "stop using Facebook."

Actually, no. That is one alternative. The other alternative (and the preferred one) would be for the courts to strike down as illegal Facebook's claim that they can limit what you do with your inbox on your computer for your personal use.
Have you ever programmed anything substantial using java outside the enterprise/agile IT environment? Any type of project on your own time? Have you every built anything in Ruby, Python, or Go? I'm asking to try to discern what you mean by "more viable".
I think it's just cultural more than anything. The simplicity of paying your taxes and the tax code there has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Some useful tips, yes, and some not-so-useful. The Unicode trick isn't exactly a Microsoft Word trick--it's more a Windows thing. The Hidden Calculator left me flat; I'd rather use the Windows Calculator, but YMMV. My only issue with these tips is that the problems they solve tend to arise so infrequently that I don't repeat the solutions often enough to remember them.

JVM != Java
I never understood why everyone suggest that a B2B software MUST generate (or lead to) money for the client to reason the purchase. For example, what about security software? It won't generate any money and in most cases won't even prevent losing money due to security issues (as it doesn't happen SO often), yet almost every company values security so much they will happily pay a lot of money for a bulletproof security software.

True, but that obligation is often misinterpreted. The legally binding definition of "shareholder value" includes more than the short-term stock price. Since bad corporate behavior carries a risk, with potential consequences up to and including a catastrophic loss of custom, it's a liability even when it's perfectly legal and boosts near-term profits. Corporate officers who take on such risk without adequate disclosure or contingency plans can be removed and/or sued for it.

>If you steal money and invest it, should you be allowed to retain the capital gains?

There are MANY examples of this, so yes. However, it usually applies to the wealthy, so they most probably have better legal representation.
selectodude, it's not cultural in the way you think. It's cultural in the way that Italians have created a perverse system in which some people don't pay much taxes and many people pay a lot. It's not cultural in the sense that the single Italian is genetically born not to pay taxes.

It's a matter of incentives for the individuals, not culture.
I think the point is that you shouldn't be vastly more likely to enforce laws that would harm the competitors of your biggest campaign donors but I guess making up the persons argument and then tearing that down is more satisfying?
It definitely wouldn't if it was $80 m in cocaine; the FBI would confiscate it and have to hand it over to the DEA to have it destroyed.

Whether or not the FBI wants to seize it and spend it in some way, or just to seize it so it can't be spent by DPR or anyone anymore is up for debate. I'm not actually sure what the laws are regarding money or possessions seized from criminals over there.
Being able to consistently beat the market--for example, to be able to easily and confidently identify times when "stocks now are totally over priced"--is an enormously valuable skill.

I mean, plenty of people say that stocks are over- or under-priced. But study after study shows that their predictions, on average, fail to beat the market. Study after study shows that someone whose predictions or buys were better than average one year fail to beat the market the next year. Study after study shows that market timing does not work.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it always baffles me when highly intelligent, scientifically-minded people completely ignore the vast stores of evidence we've gathered about their likelihood of beating the market.
One view of history(and evolution) is that progress enables cooperation at a larger scale: from single cells, to multi-cell organisms, to tribes, to cities and to states, and that those abilities radically change how the world looks.

The internet has defently been a big step in larger(and higher quality) collaborations, so it makes sense it would radically change how the world looks.
Java is certainly unnecessarily verbose, but if you compare it to other statically typed languages (like C++, C# or Go) and subtract the verbosity that is purely cultural (overdesign) it's not quite as verbose as it sometimes seems.

Comparing to dynamically typed languages (and even to statically typed languages using a lot of type inference) is a little tricky, because in some cases "verbose" means you have information available locally that you would otherwise have to look up elsewhere.
Especially since the drop is blue.
First off, I don't own the game. Having an interest in the series I did a good deal of research to decide over whether to buy it or not. I avoided it big time from the beginning based on the comments from people playing it pre-launch and post-launch.

I don't know the current state of things but all indications were that the simulation was severely broken. I'm not sure about being "faked", as in intentional, but things just worked in ways that made no sense.

For example, one experiment involved a city that was all residential with no services whatsoever. Low taxes kept population in positive for happiness so people kept moving in to replace the people that left because conditions were so miserable.

The theory is that you could succeed at building a decent size city no matter how badly you managed it.

Agreed.

He definitely thought he was untouchable, a clear sign of an amateur. Even after all the press touting the fact he was running a huge illegal drug market under the FBI's noses, he continued to carry on like he wasn't going to get caught. Even the most low level criminals have a healthy sense of paranoia. Even close calls will make them completely change how they do things.

Even if he took the modest steps you proposed, he could have wiped and then physically destroyed the HD, tossed into a trash bin and flee the country for a few years until things quieted down. I mean, he had plenty of money, in the most secure, untraceable form so it would've been cake to hideout for a few years or forever if need be.
Of course, which is why you are wrong.

It is not a matter of opinion or a political talking point, it is a statement of fact; all of those guarantees and checks can be facilitated by a private third party.

The "probably better" part is at least up for debate but the simple truth of the statement that private third parties provide facilities as described is simply factual.
GnuPG 2.0.22 released
> "Usually there is a way you can word it that isn't mean or bad, but which lets future potential guests know what to expect."

Sure, and I did actually go back afterwards to see if I was just too thick to read between the lines. Couldn't find anything definitive, maybe some oblique hints.

Either way though, judiciously worded faux-reviews seem like they make the problem worse, not better. It forces the system into a state where only the power users know WTF is actually going on, and for everyone else the information is pure noise. You spend less time reading what's on the page and more time reading what isn't.

Funnily enough, this reminds me of the rental market in NYC, where it's all between-the-lines parsing and the system has invented a whole 'nother vocabulary to avoid saying what's what (see: "flex" 2-bedrooms).

This is one of the fundamental problems. I have no compunctions about leaving a hotel a bad review, because I know that they can afford it in the short run, and that as a stimulus mechanism for them to correct themselves, it's likely to work. In this case though, I don't think these landlords could afford a bad review, and they are not in a position where a bad review is a correcting mechanism - it's more likely to sink them entirely instead.
