You seem to be knowledgeable about this topic. Have you ever heard about bioenergetics?

If not, the general premise is that neurosis is expressed physically in the musculature. Specific kinds of movements can target and eliminate neurosis, which emerges as tension in chronically contracted muscles. Any exercise is bound to help somewhat, probably for more reasons than something like bioenergetics can claim, but still there are specific approaches for eliminating neurotic behavior in different character types. These specific exercises are accompanied by psychoanalysis in order to cultivate a conscious relationship between the mental and physical constructs of the patient's neurosis.

It seems like a pretty obvious insight to me now, having read a little bit about the subject. For example, flinching is a very pronounced, instinctual movement, and occurs in response to danger, right? So, if our environment can impel us to move, then certainly there are other movements, like flinches, that are more subtle in their expression, but reflect some internal, psychological mechanism, like a response to fear. Perception of body language, such as bad posture, supports this.

I have yet to read a satisfactory amount of info about the subject, but I can recommend what little I've read if anyone's interested.
Don't some do this already? However, the corporate veil can be pierced - it's not a get-out-of-jail-free card.
How do you insure such a black box?
That's quite common. Redis etc.
Interstellar probes will get to be pretty cheap with sufficient economic growth. We should be able to easily afford >0.1c probes in 100 years or so on our current economic trajectory. And if our civilization advances for another 1000 years they'll be a piece of cake.

If those probes are Von Neumann machines they can spread throughout the entire galaxy in as little as a few million years. That's the crux of the Fermi Paradox - on galactic timescales any sufficiently advanced civilization should be able to expand its presence to the entire galaxy pretty easily and quickly.
If a lot of people see something you don't, they could all be deluded. Or you could just be missing something. Also, people aren't going to take you very seriously if you run around accusing them of being blind. Even when you're right.

Actually, there's a lot of research that shows that the default condition of humankind is not to judge other people based on their individual merits. And that probably includes you. Try some of these on for size: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/

That paper proves that just having a name that people perceive as white gives you a substantial advantage in job searches. That is one small aspect of white privilege. There are a raft of studies like this. That's just one that stuck in my head.
Sadly, they probably still do even with the disclaimer. Just my experience with dealing with similar audience to emulators (mobile apps) and making a disclaimer the top line of your summary.

Yeah, killing organic likes is part of it. When you promote the heck out of likes and what's like-able starts to be more dependent on who is willing to pay for them, then they naturally become less organic.
You've added nothing but questioning his character and then a string of baseless insults.

I'm sure if you had anything of value to say you'd have said it by now, so I'm just gonna let this one go.
Not strictly relevant. If your hypothesis is extreme, a single observation can make its posterior probability small. For instance, suppose that Alice gives you a coin and says "it lands on heads 99% of the time" (hypothesis A) but Bob calls BS and says "it looks like a regular quarter, so it should land on heads 50% of the time" (hypothesis B). You assign prior probabilities of 50% to A,B because on one hand you can't imagine how anyone could engineer a coin to land on heads 99% of the time, but on the other hand Alice is a great engineer, so you don't know what to believe. If you flip the coin a single time and get tails, your experiment strongly supports hypothesis B over A. OTOH, if it landed on heads, A would be weakly supported over B. We started with an even prior, so the posterior probability of A,B are proportional to their likelihoods: P(A|t)≈2% and P(B|t)≈98%, while P(A|h)≈66% and P(B|h)≈33%.

Let's say that a typical planet remains habitable for 8b years and it takes 4b years from the emergence of life to the emergence of intelligent life, so according to the anthropic principle life had a 4b year window in which to emerge. Under the model where P(emergence)/time is tiny, the probability of life emerging in the first billion years is ~.25. Under the model where P(emergence)/time≈1, the probability of life emerging in the first billion years is 1. With even priors, the posterior of P(emergence)/time≈1 is 80% and the posterior of P(emergence)/time≈0 is 20%.

It's not scientific proof of anything, but it's enough to make me consider alternative explanations for why life is rare.
This is basically the perfect collection of thoughts for me to be reading right now. I, and extreme introvert, just moved into my brother's new house. He is an extreme extrovert.

What struck me most was point "2. Find people who give you time to speak".

I find myself often surrounded by those people who don't have any of the empathy to realize I need to let me thoughts work their way to the surface. It has created a lot of failed attempts to reach out to other people. I get frustrated, because it leads me to feel like the other person just isn't listening, because as soon as I do start saying something the other person will usually jump to a(n incorrect) conclusion about what I'm starting to say, and interject based on what thought just entered their mind. As a result, I've spent years with those types never getting to know me, and my attempts to open up becoming more curt and infrequent.

Conversely, maybe this empathy is why so many people tell me I'm a good listener. I don't jump to conclusions about what another person is saying. I rarely even try to work out my response while the other person is still talking. I let them think, speak, and reason all before reacting. Of course, with real Type-A personalities this means they will tend to go on forever, and I don't know how to get them to shut up. Ha. But, they still come away feeling like I get them. And the effect is quite magnified with anyone who is less than 100% Type-A.

And perhaps validating this article, taking the time to let these "feelings" and "thoughts" rise up, I'm finding myself in much greater agreement (and understanding of self) and will recommit to attempting to surround myself (most of the time, thought not all of the time) with people who can help me work in my strengths. The great challenge that will prove while living with my brother.

so on the basis that there exists victim testimonials that seem implausible, you are going to deny that the holocaust occurred and ignore any other evidence to the contrary?

I am trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but there is overwhelming evidence for the Japanese use of sex slaves in their army. Its not all based on victim testimony.

Many coworking spaces have 'after work talks' or work with local meetup groups so they end up doing this kind of thing.

They are loud though - I worked in one once which was full of recruitment people who yakked on the phone all day, not nice.

The "I'm doing this and I don't give a damn about you" attitude I think has at least some merit. If the lead programmer is good, its better if he/she can say no. If there is a correlation between being an asshole and being successful I haven't seen it.
Goodnight. Sleep Clean
Time to start the cease and desist countdown.
You're not alone.

Edit: I did not intend to make that a pun.
Because if they did, the fall-out would be massive. Frankly, it’s not been all that bad, relatively speaking. A few news releases, leave it to the financial institutions to do the damage control, and the principle of diffusion does a whole lot to shield your reputation.

In comparison, a letter to you from Target directly detailing their failure - not so good. no doubt they’re avoiding this unless utterly forced to.
That resonated with me as well. Part of my own personal struggle with connecting with other people is failing to feel totally authentic in conversation. I think that this idea of allowing myself to fully feel my own response before saying anything will help a great deal.

Often, when I'm with people who have strong opinions and voice them aggressively (which is many people I know), I feel stifled. It's almost as though I'm being completely removed from the situation and my true feelings are irrelevant to those in my company. It makes it very easy to close up and withdraw.
PPC OS X apps didn't need any low-level system emulation; they could only talk to hardware via the kernel, and they could only talk to the kernel via system libraries. So at kernel boundaries you could simply translate the PPC system call to x86.

Whereas basically all consoles expose low-level system stuff to the game, such as memory-mapped IO, low-level GPU commands, TLBs, DMA, etc. All of this can't be emulated without a large amount of overhead.

At least 6th and especially 7th generation consoles have such complex timings that emulating the clocks of different parts isn't generally needed. And it's possible that Xbox 360 and PS3 require games to go through their kernel for a lot of hardware access; I don't know.
Similar point in Chris Anderson's "Makers" book as well. Manufacturing innovation is coming from the bottom up, from people who don't have a long history in the particular product space.

This is how things actually roll in the real world. You can stick to your principles, but it may cost you. I do think that the PG situation is a bit of damage control. While not having enough female founders (or founders with a foreign accent) is a symptom of what's wrong, the root problems go a little deeper.

The quality of the idea, execution, and team is what should matter. Not the color of skin, not gender, sexual orientation, accents, or anything else. But here we are...

We can't pretend that SWM are the only ones who can create a good product, and if our tech heroes happen to fuck up or say something that isn't right, I don't think it helps to ignore it.
IoC containers are useful when singletons are unacceptable, but even when I use IoC/DI I usually have a global "registry" somewhere for seeing who is "in-flight" and inspecting their state.
So you accept Bitcoin. Now you have to stand at the counter until the network gets enough confirmations… which can be upwards of 20 minutes. Doesn’t sound at all problematic...
I heard a rumor that it's because Visa/MasterCard don't want to update every point-of-sale terminal in the country.
The interval Target held the cards was probably longer than a few seconds. Depending on how they do settlement they may need to keep the PAN around longer until they settle the transactions. Some retailers do it real time (right after auth) but many do it in batches at the end of the day, overnight. That first message only authorizes a transaction. The money isn't drawn from the account until a settlement message comes through.

Target also does not have a loyalty card program. This means that the only way they can track individual purchases would be via a credit card. Target has very sophisticated marketing systems. They may have convinced their auditors that they need to keep the cards around longer because that is a legit business use. I would hope the cards are tokenized in those systems but you never know.

Also, the hack was most likely not on the POS system but on their payment switch (software for payments routing not to be confused with a network switch). There would be one central point where all their transactions are funneled to their various payment networks. This would be the place to intercept 40-110m transactions. At the individual store level it would be much more difficult to compromise that many systems across thousands of locations versus one central point and get the data out. Smaller retailers will connect their POS systems directly to the banks but large retailers usually have private dedicated circuits to their payment providers that flow through a payment switch. The POS systems connect to that central switch not the payment network.

For those predicting the imminent demise of Target, go back and look at a historical chart of how TJX's stock has performed since their breach in 2007 (mid teens to over $60/share now).
"You do not want everything to be statically linked, that would be a nightmare."

For a desktop system, you really do. The space and storage drawbacks are history with modern systems; the only remaining issue is that a user has to wait for the developer of their application to release a new version to get security updates, and that's not nearly as much an issue for a desktop system, where a user can just choose not to use software that's not updated promptly.
Why not just use the CDPATH variable in your shell? If the directory is one you go to frequently, add it to CDPATH, then just cd to it.
What do you expect from Android users? In general the Google Play store is a far more bizarre and spammy atmosphere...
I'm becoming more and more convinced that being able to share secrets with someone (the last point by the author) is the most important aspect not feeling lonely. Knowing that someone cares about you enough to listen to your problems, and respect you enough to not blab them everyone means that you aren't in this alone.
Care to expand on "what we mean by these things"?

If not here, then elsewhere. Hrm ...

I've got a sort of bloggy subreddit at http://reddit.com/r/dredmorbius How about a new post:

I think #2 is awesome. But I've also had to learn to assert my need to be heard. Sometimes I do that explicitly. E.g., "When you interrupt me like that, I feel like you're not interested in what I have to say."

But some of it has been observing extroverts interact with one another and learning their conversational protocols. A lot of people take not-interrupting as a signal to continue endlessly, and are perfectly happy to be interrupted if done in certain ways.

Adopting their protocol never feels perfectly comfortable to me. But, then, neither does trying to figure out how to fake a heart attack so I can get out of somebody's monologue.

So you might try watching your brother with his friends and see how they manage to get heard and/or not kill him.
If you aren't generating any revenue from Turkey you could block that country from your app.
Agreed. I often try to make the point that when commenting people in my group should focus more on commenting on WHY and HOW rather than WHAT that is normally easily read from the code.
I'm not saying that all licenses have this property. I'm saying it may be possible to create a custom one that does. For example a "standard" software license (proprietary ... not OSS) does not include the right to sub-license but there do exist software licenses that include that right.

Having a license doesn't mean you can sue. Having a "license to sue" might though! (if it can exist)
Do you happen to have a link to that mapping article? It sounds interesting.

Sure, Ivan. Just feed into the stereotypical myth that women just don't want to program - because their female brains can't handle anything beyond cooking, cleaning, and child raising.
Is that what you're trying to say, broski?
Essentially, I don't find your progression plausible. I don't think someone, even a genius, is going to approach a second career as effectively as the first, not after having accumulated a lifetime of preconceptions, biases, attitudes, conclusions, and dogma. I doubt even most geniuses have a second wind of genius in them, whether or not they live 50 years longer than they do now.
Within my very limited grasp of the paper, it seems to me it is asserting precisely the opposite of your second claim. Tegmark seems to me to be proposing a limited set of properties that an assemblage of matter must have in order to exhibit, or perhaps to implement, consciousness. So he is denying a "universal animism" (because the properties are not univerally present), and attributing consciousness to operations of matter, so not presuming "mental constructs" apart from matter either.
If you know Go doesn't have what you need, then why did you use it?

Sometimes, a language isn't a good fit for what you're building, and you said that yourself, you don't write those programs very often.

And some other times, a language just isn't for you, it doesn't match the way you think about programming.

For example, I tried to learn Scala a lot and it just didn't work, so I stopped trying because there are better uses of my time than saying: "I wish language X had feature Y" or "I wish language A was more like language B"

If Elixir has what you need, then by all means use it. Nobody knew Python before Google started using it, didn't stop them from doing great things with it.

Sort of. As t approaches infinity, more and more of the simple parts of math will have been discovered. Therefore the only parts left to discover will be those which are more complicated; hence the overall idea is necessarily correct.

If you're not using a language with Clojure's nifty datastructures, "effortlessly" probably isn't much better than OpenMP.
Is this strictly limited to Turkish users? I have a feeling that if we were to consider apps in other languages we might find it's just a general problem amongst all users.
That's good. It fits well with the Jobs quote "Real artists ship." Shipping is when you find out whether or not people actually need what you're making.
That's a colourful interpretation.
Bullshit. GDB is improving constantly. Last time I checked LLDB was inferior. So stop spreading lies!
That's a good explanation of "how", but unfortunately it leaves out the "why", as in "Why should my users go through the effort of installing a dummy application when they can simply open a URL in their web browser?"
It's hard for me to tell the difference between conversational bulldozers that want to own all the air in the room and the common boor. If people talk over me when I'm trying to make a point, I'll say "that wasn't what I was saying", and start over where cut off - once. After that I'll just leave.

Note my other comment. It hints at this. You make the point clearer.

The technical costs are not damning. Where is the concern about the other costs, which aren't being picked apart? If AWS was 0, it's still unsustainable growth until someone (swisspol?) dispels our concern there.

Another big void is who was pulling the plug and how/what are the founders and direct employees feeling? I'd like to know if there were ship-abandoners, etc.

What is the turning point and what were they decision makers watching that caused the shift?

This doesn't look like a technical learning here. This looks like a business learning. So, while they're being transparent and it's still fresh :) share.

We can A/B test buttons. How do you A/B test business decisions?

It looks like a bunch of people can armchair this thing, technically, to the point where it makes me wonder if someone could NOT take on nearly the funding and make the $100M company on this idea with just some bootstrapping.

Also... how was there not a pricing model that scaled with use?
Coinbase allows retailers to specify how much Bitcoin to hold from purchases instead of converting to dollars. As more merchant expenses can be paid with Bitcoin, merchants will begin to hold larger amounts to avoid the 1% hit. As a result, they'll enjoy near zero transaction fees instead of 2-3%.

yah they should just work out some learning method to pick out stuff that looks odd & offer to clean it up. But i believe then it would require a thin layer of oversight and Google of course will not want to get involved. Apple clearly doesn't shy away from app store admin which is why they have the better platform at the moment.

Or they could of course just do away with the mechanism that auto-highlights 1-star reviews and instead you know.... ask the user what they want to see. As if people can't handle clicking a bar that says "Read 1 star reviews" a la Amazon.
I think he answered why he used it pretty clearly in paragraph 3: because people in the Go community told him he had to use it for a bit to give it a fair shake.

Another way of saying it: he couldn't have known it didn't have what he needed until he tried it. So he tried it. Which I think is great. There are lots of thing we think we need that we don't, and lots of things that we never knew we needed until we tried them.
