I'm a little confused. This link takes me to a fund to "help us find stephen martin's killer". Which is itself a duplicate of another fund on the same site. Searching google for: truecrypt audit fundfill ... provides a link that is titled "Fund: A public TrueCrypt Audit - Fundfill", but takes me to the same Stephen Martin page as well.

Is fundfill broken? (and if so, should I trust it with money?) Or is there a secret decoder ring that I'm missing?

[edit]
On further digging, I'm going to say "no , I should not trust it with my money". The 'funds' are a mix of 2/3 year old and current requests, mostly people asking for money in a kickstarter-like fashion, as opposed to the bounty system that appears to be the intent.

The site has various issues, and while their twitter account is active the whole thing just has an air of not-something-I'd-trust about it.

[edit 2]

Come to think of it, wouldn't kickstarter or something similar be better? Get an estimate for the work and start a fund to get it done?
According to the the redo readme, it takes care of that problem. Alternatively, if a specific shell is required, it can be specified with #!...
This link also takes us to the Stephen Martin page...
We're going to be following up with people to bring them into the product and helping them become successful with it. You're right though, a use case would help a ton. Perhaps this would be a good start to our blog. Contact us at contact@awesomebox.es if you'd like to discuss the idea further.

Ask yourself a few analogous questions:

- How can you vote for or otherwise support a politician if you don't agree 100% on everything with that politician?

- If your friend enjoys the same music that you do, but not the same food, would that necessarily make you not go to a concert with that friend?

- How can you enjoy a book written by an author if you strongly disagree with that author's personal beliefs? Do those beliefs necessarily invalidate anything and everything that this hypothetical author writes? As a real life example, take Orson Scott Card: do his personal views about homosexuality make his Ender books any worse?
OK, what the hell? The OP link is now redirecting to something about finding someone's killer. I'm not opposed to that cause, but how exactly did that link get jacked? Was it on FundFill's side? That entire site looks like a spam site with very few entries: http://www.fundfill.com/funds

Not sure why this site would be used instead of IndieGogo
Yep. Even as an atheist and humanist, I am happy to commend Christians who do actual good for people :-)
In the real world, the penalty for being wrong is dependant on the risks involved, and sometimes you can manage the risks.

Guessing is a good skill. Managing risk is a good skill. Learning how to situationally value guessing vs. knowing is a awesome skill.
This debate is really interesting and one that I think about a lot.

I think a github for your DAW is a great tool for an audio engineer, or a self-produced / technology-geek musician.

I think a "21st century portastudio" is the best tool for the average musician (hobbyist or pro).

What that 21st century portastudio looks like is up to be seen. But we think certainly not like a githubed-DAW

Thoughts?
Absolutely. I rather have an interviewer questions me why I think my solution is a solution (even if it is a terrible n^3 solution).
I just spoke with my doctor regarding CPAPs recently, and the price has gone down considerably since I looked into it a few years ago… I hear it's less than a thousand

I don't need one (mild hypopnea) yet, but it's nice to know that options exist.

I had a coworker who, years ago, had sleep apnea (would fall asleep at keyboard at work), who subsequently got a CPAP and it's a night and day difference. I'm really glad for his improvements.
For those that need a political discussion fix. I have found extremely deep debates from both liberal and conservative/libertarian views.

The title doesn't quite show how interesting this is. The cited study links depression experienced by the mother while she's pregnant with the later development of depression by that child as a teenager, ostensibly while controlling for the role played by any continued depression experienced by the mother while raising the child.
Great post and a great follow up. I think dribbble's co-founders intended the site to be a show and tell of actual work (pure speculation) but has become more of a showcase of flashy unrealistic photoshop designs.

I think the divide in the design industry is going to be short lived as companies start to realize that they don't really need a a graphic designer, a product designer, a UI designer and a UX strategist. They need one (or several) competent designer that can understand all of these roles.

I wrote a short blog post discussing the issue: http://generalist.io/designers-design
As I see it, the basic flaw in the materialist worldview is this: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/perception-episprob/

It is also what leaves the door open for more transcendent views. Eastern religions, in particular, are founded on the basic idea that your everyday experience is illusory.

You dismiss religious beliefs as based on "essentially nothing". In fact, the basis of religious belief in the most general sense is conscious experience. The kinds of conscious experience that you would probably call hallucinations. But, referring again to the link above, you are probably disposed to call shared perceptions "real", and non-shared perceptions hallucinatory. Religiously, metaphysically, or even philosophically minded people might call that arbitrary. Chauvinistic even. We act like consensual reality is real because it's convenient, intuitive, and seems to get us good results in consensual reality.

You say "zero credible evidence of an afterlife." That's true, if you restrict yourself to what's usually considered "evidence" in science. Evidence that more than one person can perceive at the same time. But individuals can go further if they really want to see whether there's anything to see. Are you willing to dedicate yourself to a meditation practice for a long time? Psychedelic drugs? Flatliners (the 1990 movie)?

I'm not recommending that anyone do anything dangerous. Just pointing out that there are things you can observe first-hand, that aren't likely to be replicated in a study.

"I almost never misplace my things (keys, wallet, etc) anymore. Mind blocks like, "what was the company's name? I used to know it...", happens less frequently and I can recollect facts much faster. Most importantly though, I have seen a dramatic improvement in the speed I learn and understand things."

This piqued my interest. I find myself forgetting simple things all the time and it's very unsettling given that I'm relatively young. Like JakeSc, I too would be interested in learning more about your experience and any resources that you could possibly share.
Interested, email is in profile. I am experienced in C, Java, and some web development. In Mountain View and can relocate immediately.

I'm not exactly sure on the details of AES-GCM, but in general if you use secret data to influence either the data path (indexing tables), code path (branches) or timing (either branches or non-constant instructions) then your secret data should be considered compromised in a model allowing side channel attacks.
I don't need to interrogate my priors to come to the conclusion that it is invariably wrong to order hits on people.
Maybe that is a fruitful way of looking at it. Take evolutionary algorithms, for example (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_algorithm).

Essentially you start with a random program and iterate on it using an evolutionary model. The point of these algorithms is precisely that an understanding and knowledge of the code base is not required. All that's necessary is some way of measuring the program's fitness for a task.
Exactly my point :)

Just like Coldfusion, many people have been saying Java is so 1995 but since Twitter showed how well Java scales compared to the woeful RoR it is seeing a renaissance. And since Railo is a Java framework that speeds development I have a feeling we will being seeing it experience a similar renaissance in the near future.
Interesting. I quite like that approach.

I think you could abstract to the individual neurons or maybe the different parts of the neuron. It doesn't matter that you don't have an exact physical simulation of every atom.

How I Left A 4-Year Career In Finance And Became A Software Engineer In 5 Months
Why would that be? I don't even understand what you're suggesting, why could we assume 'we already know' about a backdoor in a popular product?
Cool project. One suggestion I would make is to 'buffer' your infinite scroll. It gets a little sticky. You could implement something that would always be one page ahead.

On page load you get the first two sets of scroll data. When the user scrolls you show the second set of data you already have and then get the third set of data at that point.

This way you are always ahead and may make the scrolling seem smoother.

Just an idea though, looks good!
Be prepared. Luck favors the prepared.

Well sure the founders define the culture. Who do you think put the few bad managers in the right place?
Depends how you define it - in a way, you can. There is a book called "The Luck Factor" that explores that scientifically (by Wiseman). I liked it.

You can of course not change the odds of rolling a 6 if you roll one dice. But you can influence how often the dice roll for you, and thereby increase your odds of rolling a six.
The current Pope is pretty progressive. Case in point that I read earlier today:

Pastie does. So does any advertiser who was on the page as you were pasting in that text. So does newrelic (who is dynamically loading arbitrary javascript on the load of the page).

Also, pastes are not done via ssl connections, so anybody between you and pastie knows what's in that paste, and what IP created it.

Depending on how you send that link, that messaging provider knows (for example sending it via Skype, Microsoft knows).

And thence does anybody with the legal capability of subponeaing data from any of those services.

That applies to security, but not really to fighting spam. The only people who will tell you exactly how they avoid spam are either a) not worth spamming or b) covered in it.
how do you reconcile the use of
evidence for establishing belief
in one domain, and then not require
this in another?

Scientists regularly believe in a theory, or concept, that is not yet proven. Many scientists spend their entire lives proving something. Hence, I wouldn't suggest belief in science has historically relied on evidence or proof.

Now onto the main point, the difference lies with what is provable and what isn't. Many religions believe in a being that is not provable. Or believe in teachings for the betterment of society. These aren't provable or disprovable theories (whether you believe that is their nature or they are intentionally designed that way!) There are religions where one of the central tenets is that science and reason must be in agreement with the religion itself.

Personally I think the two can be seperated, and the problem only comes when religious leaders preach science. Religion, for me, covers a set of unprovable concepts.

I also wouldn't say people are too quick to diffuse the science vs. religion argument, I think pg has a few comments on what causes flame wars! (And a rather excellent essay relating to labels / identity [1]).

(Part 3) No Managers: Why We Removed Bosses at Treehouse
I'd certainly like to have decimal FPU types too, I know IBM did some nice work but the rest of industry mostly ignored it and I think it's a pity.

Still I don't see where in scientific computing anybody would need it by the nature of the problems being solved -- what is decimal in nature? When you calculate with base2 FP you have better "resolution" and partial results in "absolute" sense (not in the "let me see the decimal digits" sense of course). For the same reason, when you make a series of calculations, the error accumulates slower with binary. That's why base 2 FP was used for all this years. When you don't need to calculate money amounts, it is better.

But what are the examples where decimal is more "natural" for scientific computing?
The Catholic Church (including its heirarchy) has always (at least, since it became established within the Roman State) included both factions that are extremely pro-elite and those that are extremely social-justice oriented, as well as everything in between.
I disagree with you here. Although I would not choose ColdFusion for anything these days, in 1998/1999 it was a super fast way to get a web site/app together. Post 2000 it was converted to Java and became a glorified JSP tag library. It was a good platform that didn't stand the test of time.

I disagree, when using undocumented features, the burden is fully on the developer using these features.

It is how the world works, when you use undocumented features in every aspect of life (e.g. not following the rules) it is great when you get away with that, but don't expect the world to bend their rules to accommodate you, that only happens when a majority goes that path, and often it doesn't even happen then.
To put it simple and generalize a little bit, every function in a team ideally has good understanding of what is supposed to be delivered as a whole and is equipped with that specialized skills set for that function. I have to say it's not easy to have a team even close to this. But this is a correct direction. And each function has different weights in different product building processes.

Well, as far as I am concerned it is a simple matter of people not being intellectually prepared to understand the theory. I am not saying this to be elitist. Not at all.

I had a conversation with a guy at a xmas party last year. I don't have a clue how we went where we went but we ended up talking about how "human wizards" can figure out the position of the moon every day and write an app to show you. To this guy this was no different from magic. There is no way in the universe that anyone is going to make a good case in favor of the theory of evolution to this person until he elevates himself a few rungs in the educational ladder. That's just a fact.

What about scientists who claim to believe in creationism? For the most part I see it this way: If you are a nobody scientist with no hopes of becoming anyone at all, what is the easiest way to become someone? Thank you Jesus! I've met and have spoken to a few such "scientists" who, for example, teach at religious schools. You can see right through them. They are virtual gods within those organizations. They are elevated to prestigious standings within that community. They are held as proof that someone crossed the proverbial isle and, by the way, he is a honest-to-god scientist. No, they are not. They are business men. And quite smart if you ask me. If you don't see an upshot to your scientific career, go to a religious university and proclaim you've seen the light. They'll have you writing books in short order.

Then there are guys like Ben Carson, the ex-Johns Hopkins surgeon republicans are parading around. The guy is obviously very smart yet he is religious to a ridiculous degree. I like a lot of his ideas. The problem is that every third sentence is about religion. I don't know much about him so can't really opine beyond saying that people who are constantly praising god and talking about how everything is preordained and that they are god's tools, etc. scare the crap out of me. Not a huge step from there to Iran. Is he playing a mental game because of his political aspirations? Maybe. Republicans need to realize they are loosing a huge chunk of the population for putting the bible in front of everything they say and do. I digress.

That does not allow you to conclude that evolution is true the way that you can conclude gravity is true/factual.

You know what, scratch that last comment. I'll leave it there, but it is shit and I can do better. Let's bring this back down to Earth:

"Dan contacts Steve and tells Steve that he has information on drug dealers and users in Singapore. He intends to turn this information over to the government of Singapore. Steve knows that Singapore will execute many of these people, imprison others (some of them for life) and will viciously beat likely all of them."

How far can Steve go to ensure that Dan does not turn these people over to the government of Singapore? Is having Dan killed to spare those other people completely off the table?
This to me does not really strike me as some Mr. Ives would have had a large amount of time in, and quite frankly am shocked that he put his name on this.

The Leica M has had pretty much the same dimensions and design for since the 50s (save to major departures the Leica CL and the Leica M5). Note that I am referring to the analog film version and not the modern digital M8 and later incarnations design, along with the Fender Stratocaster are the closest thing to perfection anyone has come up with.

The Stratocaster is a discussion for another time. In the case of the Leica, it is the best design because it distills the essence of the photographic expression and builds the product around that. The controls are simple. You have a shutter speed dial, a film crank, a shots taken indicator. Aperture control is on the lens barrel. Any photographer can pick up a Leica M and know how it works intuitively. The controls fall right where they should. Its been 50 years, and no one really has come up with a better interface to take a picture.

This design throughs all of that out the window. From the looks of the picture, it doesn't look very comfortable to hold. It seems to rounded, and the "cheese greater" design is just asking for dust/environmental problems. A well used Leica looks even more desirable with age, this would just look hideous. This design just lost all of the elegance that 50 years of incremental design bestowed on the Leica M and turned it into something that looks like a Braun product.

Then lets move to the usability -- whats with the recessed dials??? the whole point of the dial placement ABOVE the top plate is so that the photographer can operate all the controls via his thumb without taking his mind away from the act of taking a picture. This completely violates that principle. Not to mention all the ergonomic evolution the engineers at Leica spent so much time agonizing over.

Don't get me wrong, yes I do love the Leica M. I am not a zealot by any chance. I don't claim they do everything but what they do -- they have perfected the design. And here they just through all of that out the window.

If the goal was to make an advancement on the design, I would say take a close look at the Fuji X100s. It has taken the Leica ethic and bridged it beautifully with the modern digital age. In fact I will say the Fuji X100s is the first classic of the digital age.
Let me break it for you, nobody except you and some opinionated programmers on the web, cares what language you wrote website X or web app Y in. If it works, and you are able to maintain it - you won't hear a single word of praise from the 'users' congratulating you on your stellar choice of language. They'll rip you to shreds when it stops working but even then they'll never tell you off for choosing the wrong language.

If it works, and you can maintain it - its all good. Even Cold Fusion, even PHP, even Perl, even Brainf#@k
