As much as possible, yes -- my employer has only recently gotten into sponsoring FOSS, so I have to do a lot of comforting around the, "but what if someone else takes this and copies us" question. Which is fair: They (still) don't teach FOSS community balancing in MBA school. In fact, I just made the term 'community balancing' up, but only because we both know there should be one, and isn't.
Right, and if you want to live in a "leafy green" part of zones 4, 5 and 6, with good transport into central London expect to pay close to zone 2 prices (e.g. Richmond, Wimbledon, even Beckenham, etc.). A 2 bed in Richmond will set you back £1400/month +. And that's a slightly amazing 40min commute (via Waterloo).
I could have made the exact same statement 10 years ago though. And where are we? (I think we're in a place where we realize it's really difficult to replace face-to-face.)
I’m working on SongPane(http://songpane.com) – an app that helps musicians organize songs and put together set lists for live performances.

Demo: http://demo.songpane.com

It’s cool because:

* you can carry your entire song repertoire with you (chord charts) and easily combine songs to create set lists for worship services, concerts, practice sessions, etc.

* can transpose chord charts

* works on any device

* works offline

* can share set lists with other band members

* everything is synchronized in real-time

Makes sense. Isn't this part of London part of the Grosvenor Estate? No wonder it is expensive- I believe they keep the freehold and only give 100 year leases.

Yet another worshipper in the cult of death that has gripped America. Sorry, but your point of view is absolutely abhorrent to any educated, intelligent, modern persons' point of view.

It is not a good thing that people can drive to a strip mall in Americana, spend all day killing people in a video-game like reality, and get away with it with impunity. This is industrialized murder, and your justification is exactly the kind of point of view that must be thwarted in a just, honest, ethical society..

The blame for the cost of war doesn't go to to ... the people who pull the triggers.

Yes, it most certainly does. I used to be a submarine officer in the Navy, but I was discharged 2 years ago as a conscientious objector [1]. I left because I felt I had a moral responsibility to do so.

If your conscience says "don't kill someone," then you shouldn't kill them. You can't absolve yourself of responsibility just because the president ordered the killing.

Actually I thought you were trolling by saying people I know are delusional because they refer to Cupertino as being in South Bay (which is obviously just a subregion of the Bay Area). Another poster is getting upset because I wrote "the 101" instead of "101". Christ.

With regards to your other point, no, of course I don't think all Apple engineers are second tier, but I do feel that since Bertrand Serlet left, OS X engineering has languished.

Given that I know some competent - but not great - engineers who work at Apple (and they happen to commute) I wonder if the culture at Apple today is more about hiring competent engineers to implement a roadmap, rather than hiring great engineers and letting them loose to "think different".
If this was such a massive cash cow, it should still be driving property sales prices through the roof, and banks should be lining up to find ways to shift their loan books towards the buy to let market.

The real issue is a lack of properties in the places people want to live.

Everyone is working on new 3D printing hardware but the software is still years behind.

PrintToPeer (http://www.printtopeer.com) is connecting 3D printers to the internet for remote control and analytics. We have a web dashboard with a real-time connection to your 3D printer(s) for queueing and monitoring, and we've built a printer driver that works on the majority of current desktop 3D printers.

A hardware-agnostic API from the web serves as a platform for other developers to create apps on top of. It's an abstraction layer above 3D printing.

Being able to create tangible things from software is the coolest thing I can imagine, because of the social and environmental impacts. There are huge challenges ahead that we are excited to face.
"Drones are just like any other tools of war. "

No they are not. The are risk free and relatively cheap, meaning its easier to order their use. The easier war is, the easier it is to make war.

"The fact that the combatant is sitting very far away from the battle doesn't make the killing any less real"

Oh yes it does. There have been plenty of studies that clearly demonstrate this. It is always easier to press a button that look a man in the eyes and shoot him.

Lastly. How do you surrender to a robot?

Had Bin Laden and his men held up their hands and put down their weapons, they all may well be in US jails right now. Had that been a drone strike, that would not have even been a possibility.
>The problem with this approach is that MRI Ruby has tonnes of global state, so unless you restart the interpreter for each request, you're going to end up with state leaking between requests.

So what? That's how PHP works, and it's still pretty fast for most things. Would a mod_ruby be that much slower? Should still be faster than a CGI-style invocation.

It's worth pointing out that the 50-1 civilian to "bad guy" ratio comes from Pakistani intelligence, and no other sources have it that high. The figures are also only about Pakistan, where as far as I know we have no (or significantly fewer) JTACs. You're also talking about significantly different missions, whereas in one drones are supporting ground units and in another they are the primary unit.

I don't trust American figures about drone strikes, but I certainly don't trust Pakistani intelligence either.
I'm a little confused - what exactly are you doing? Are you making the projectors? Are you programming the game? What software are you using? Are you sensing what it's being projected on?
I know a number of colleagues (I work for a large global corp) who have moved to Spain from the UK for many of these reasons. We heavily embrace remote working through the use of online meetings and video-conferencing. If you need a high quality meeting, they go to the office for 52"+ HD telepresence. They regularly fly into London because it is not cost prohibitive to do so - even on their own budget. And their salary in Spain? Good. Not quite as good as London, but good.

I also know people who work in this style from Newcastle and Manchester - though the train tickets are often more expensive than flying, there is the added benefit of power, space, and being able to arrive ~5 mins before your train departs.

EDIT: Currently attempting the same from 1hr outside of Paddington, where my rent is less than 50% of my London rent. Though it's certainly a lot more dull than living in Zone 2!! I wouldn't advise it :-(
When they can afford to do something to preserve something important it can be lasting. Look at the PDX Trailblazers, the EMP Museum in Seattle, South Lake Union development.

> However, he doesn't want to continue these programs unless they are constitutional.

That's a strong statement, one that I don't believe has any support other than campaign rhetoric (ie: no real support)

One only needs to look at the signing into law of the patriot act extension and the NDAA to see that Obama is in no way different than Bush when it comes to these sorts of laws.

Reading the original article this appears to have absolutely nothing to do with Obama and any of his campaign promises of rhetoric, but everything to do with Mr. Verrilli discovering that the argument he made to the SCOTUS (ultimately leading to the dismissal of the case in favor of the DOJ) was based on a lie and/or is no longer true.

You're not comparing apples to apples when you compare ancient "theories" and modern scientific theory. Predicting that the sun will come up tomorrow, and why the sun will come up tomorrow are two very different levels of detail and granularity. The latter will have far more predictive power than the former.

No ancient theories had anything like the predictive power of modern theories, so were far less powerful. So when we talk about how the ancients had theories for this - we're talking orders of magnitude less complexity.

An analogy: when we were kids my brother took part in a guess the weight of the cake. The answer was 1.010 kg. My brother had guessed 1.005 kg and another boy had guessed 1.04 kg. They tried give it to the other kid - well his difference was "3 different" whereas my brother's was "5 different". Obviously anyone with a brain could see there was an order of magnitude difference in the precision of the two predictions.

Ancient theories are like that. Orders of magnitude less precise and therefore less predictive than modern theories. The differences tend to lead to dramatic differences in outcome making them fail to interweave in ways that are useful for us in the modern world - this is why, after all, we moved to the modern theories and they led to everything we have today.

Ancient theories didn't tend to connect in philosophically logical ways as do modern theories - this is reflected in their lack of predictive power. So when I say that the problems with tying theories together that modern physicists have are vast in our minds, but really amount to splitting hairs when we compare them to the differences between theories that preceded them, this is why.
The gov is looking at changing how housing benefit is paid, from directly to the landlord to directly to the tenants, they've been running the pilot schemes for it quite recently in fact. You can find loads of reports on the things with a quick search, some from quite reputable sources.

I suppose it's possible you and I are talking about different kinds of tenancy, but I don't think that the numerous news stories on this can just be hand-waved away either.
Dijsktra on zero-based indexing:

http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/EW...

Obviously the differences are small and it's not worth obsessing over, but I do think that zero-based approach works better with array code that involves offsets... and that's not the exclusive province of manually managed memory - array-index math can happen for many reasons.

Of course, one-based math is more intuitive to the layperson, which is obviously why it's the natural choice for Lua.

Hum ok, sorry. The doctrine in France is that the Constitution has supremacy. But the trick is that our Constitution is only 55 years old, so somehow we don't have that many "cadavers in our closets", previous treaties (and I guess it's mostly treaties signed 1945 -> 1958) were taken care of explicitly in our Constitution, the rest is recent history.

It's not to say that it doesn't haunt our government, European Court Of Human Rights is just a treaty after all, and it fundamentally changed our criminal procedure a few years ago, but we integrated this treaty inside our Constitution, and allowed it to hit us on top of our laws.
Sure, you will only need two approximately equal masses, a high precision scale and a round-trip airplane ticket. Seems easy enough for me. Strictly speaking this seems like the most obvious way to test your theory. Of course it would be mighty odd if you would find any effect, but who knows?

I don't want to get into an argument and you are certainly entitled to your own opinion, but the military is a pretty old profession and has dealt with this problem before.

JTACs are basically radio/telephone operators, and often aren't physically with the unit calling in the fires because there are more platoons than there are JTACs, so the JTAC sits at the company (or sometimes up to the brigade) HQ and handles a whole bunch of platoons at once. He takes what the ground commander says (via radio in the field), and passes that to a control center via telephone, IRC (seriously), satcom, etc. The control center then routes a plane overhead and facilitates direct contact between the pilot and JTAC (not the ground commander). The real specialty of the JTAC is speaking in both Air Force-isms and Army-isms and communicating clearly with both parties. Imagine a weird game of telephone where adding another person in the chain actually makes the message come out more clearly at the end.

So to wrap up a long story, there's a whole lot of communication being passed around and it would be awfully difficult for a JTAC to just decide "I'm going to get that family over there killed because I feel like it"

The problem is consistency with your approach. I am referring to theories that are consistent enough with each other to have useful predictive power. As you get bigger disconnects between theories their predictive power falls away.

I've been reading about IMAP for more than a decade and I keep hearing about how hard it is to get right, for both the client and the server. I've wondered why this is. Is the standard too complicated? Is it written in way that allows for too much interpretation?
I sympathize with this story and it makes me feel sorry.

But I also feel sorry for all the people who have struggled to do normal things with mod_python, often just because they assumed it was the default due to its name, and did not know that it got left behind by the rest of the world. This is why people say "mod_python is dead," to save others the pointless struggle typically encountered while trying to do the typical things with mod_python. And it's not only the long period without maintenance or the weak documentation. The whole ecosystem just moved on. It's been many years.

The reason it is you against the world today is that you want everyone to drop WSGI to use mod_python. Maybe this was possible in 2003-2005 or so. But for a long time now, mod_python is just not a good alternative to WSGI and all the tools that use it, even if it is good in its own ways. Trying to replace WSGI with mod_python today doesn't make sense. Please give up the goal of replacing WSGI with mod_python and take a new direction!

Cool story, bro! Your success is surely due to your hard work and Alger-like moral superiority, and not the fact that you're tall, attractive, and suave.

Your advice is worse than useless for the average dateless loser, who will never succeed no matter how much "effort" they put in. But this way you don't have to feel bad for them--it's their own fault they'll die alone, because they didn't _work_ hard enough.

I hope some day you actually learn what it's like to fail through attributes outside of your control, and have everyone blame you for it anyway.
I understand that you must have invested a lot of your time and energy into this idea, so it may be difficult to accept criticism of its base concept. However by posting about it on a public discussion board you are implicitly inviting others to discuss and critique it, so I don't really see how that can be considered impolite.

I love working on this because I get to learn a variety of things. Right now I'm switching from Amazon EC2 to my own setup with KVM/Qemu VMs.

It's been quite the experience prototyping with kvm/qemu, overall I'm really happy with it. From tuning libvirt, to loading RAM images straight into the VM in order to avoid boot-storms, learning about the various VM disk formats, virtio drivers, ... there's plenty to learn!
Right. But most people don't read math and reporters don't write it.
Only if you are really selective about wanting to live in the expensive leafy green areas. There are plenty of "leafy green" parts of Croydon, for example, where prices for a 2 bed is more in the 800-1000/month range.

1400/month will give you a large house with a garden many places here.

Heck, if I could get 1400/month to rent out my 3 bedroom house with a garden, I'd have enough left after paying my mortgage to rent a 2 bed flat nearby (though that admittedly is because I struck it lucky with a very favorable tracker mortgage).
Yeah but Croydon... ugh
