Wait, so how do I enable it on Chrome? I've gone to:

chrome://net-internals/#quic

like the slide says, but Chrome just says "QUIC Enabled: false" without any switch to turn it on. (Chrome 32 on OSX.)

Edit: turns out the answer is to go to chrome://flags/#enable-quic

Also, what web servers support QUIC? Is there some kind of Apache add-on in development? And how will Chrome know whether to try to connect via QUIC or not? If QUIC gets enabled in my Chrome, does this mean Chrome tries to establish both a QUIC and TCP connection to each server always?

Very interesting, thanks. I'm always interested in reading up on things along these lines. At this point the amount of studies that show fundamental differences between the sexes are so overwhelming that it's hard to deny it with a straight face. Culture simply does not have the power that people want to attribute to it.

That's a good point there. I don't think separation would be desirable if the natives aren't involved. Separation should guarantee them complete liberty and more support than what is given by the Canadian Government.

I may be putting words in the grandparent poster's mouth, but I didn't read his post as saying you can be an expert at all "software development", but rather that there are certain skills that cut across languages, and then what you see in a specific language is one specific manifestation of that pattern. Learning those skills is both harder and more generally useful than learning any one specific language.

Or to put it succinctly, focus on problems, the constraints and forces shaping those problems, and not solutions. Different technologies will come up with different solutions depending on the specifics of their culture and where they're being used, but the underlying problems come up a lot, and understanding where you've seen it before can make reaching for the correct solution a breeze.

For example, I was just talking with some Polymer folks last week about how to manage global data that needs to be passed between components. They're largely from a client-side, web, JS-heavy background, but after listening to them sketch out this approach that they'd found very useful, I was like "Oh, it's like a Monostate pattern for HTML." That's made it dramatically easier for them to explain their solution to other people, because C++/Java/C# devs know what Monostates are, and now they can just plug in the syntax of HTML and semantics of Polymer elements into everything they know about why the pattern might be useful, what its drawbacks are, how it fits in with other patterns, etc.

One of the sibling comments here mentions how you really ought to know things like testing frameworks, in-code documentation practices, logging, etc. before you can be considered to "know" a language. I'd agree, but I'd argue that knowing that these things exist and why they're important is about 80% of the battle to using them effectively. I can pick up a new language in a few weeks and while I won't be an expert on it, I'll at least know to check out the preferred unit testing framework, read up on the logging APIs, see what the language's philosophy on error handling is, etc. I don't have to start from scratch, because I've worked on projects where these things were important and used a variety of frameworks that all solve these problems in subtly different ways. No, I'm not going to be as quick or elegant as someone who's been working with the language for 10 years - but I'll also be miles ahead of a fresh grad out of college who is just encountering the concepts for the first time and needs to learn the language mechanisms and why they're important. And when technology changes so fast, that knowledge is a lot less likely to go stale than whatever framework is flavor of the month.

17.3 kJ for the latest shot, according to the paper. But only some 8 kJ of that came from fusion (the balance came from the laser input).

D-T fusions are about 17.6 MeV, but 80% of that is in neutrons, which escape unless captured in a special blanket. The 8 kJ reported was all alphas. So 8 kJ / 3.5 MeV = 1.4e16 fusions, vs. 5e15 in the quote. He was probably talking about a previous shot.

For comparison, a typical AA battery stores 16 kJ.

"You're using a very, very basic definition of cloud- one that really shouldn't exist anymore."

Really? This is exactly what the "cloud" service are selling. Ok there's a middle-guy in there. The actual service provider. But from a customer point of view - this is the cloud.

IBM, Microsoft, Google sales guys are all over the place "selling" the cloud. "Move your infrastructure to our cloud - cheaper and access everywhere on everything. No need to maintain a server, or even a PC. Run your business from your iPad".

Sounds great. And would be great, if we had the communication infrastructure in place to support it. Look, it doesn't matter what's running the cloud if no one buys the "cloud".

Back to your topic.. I agree. But we've seen this story before from IBM (and Cisco and MS). They are late to every party these days.
It reads "much like" the computer fraud act, but that doesn't mean a case was brought forward. Can a subpoena really be issued without a corresponding case?

Fair point - and yes, it's a pity that minorities are treated differently (although it does work both ways a bit, too[1]).

I suspect those difference also apply in formal interview situations - and maybe even more difficult to overcome there. Maybe meetups have better potential to overcome negative sterotypes because people actually get to know each other a little?

It is a tiny bit unreasonable to project continuous exponential growth in human energy usage on such a ridiculously long timescale. It's like arguing that Moore's law will continue for another 200 years.
Names which offend people the most are those which are also true. It's still name calling, and it's also irrelevant to your argument in this case.

>a lot of companies have a tendency to focus first on putting out the fire and second on letting the customers know there's a problem.

Having been told second would have been atleast comforting. I was disappointed because there was no mention or report of the last DoS attack or downtime, as if it never happened. The last incident lasted for about 17mins but since it was off peak hours, it din't bother me much. Then the same thing replayed today but this time at the peak of the traffic. You would atleast expect a hosting company to have their main page/portal balanced across different regions but nope. Its just sad because except their handling of situations like this, there is nothing really to complaint against them.

What does that say, other than: that, in a modern sociological environment, certain genetics-mediated brain differences cause people to behave (react) in different ways to their environment?

It says nothing about what inherently is a mental disease and what is not. Perhaps genetic differences causing certain mental "diseases" in average American society (or whatever society in which you conduct a study) actually benefit the individuals in societies with different cultures or structures. In the same way that certain non-psych heritable "diseases" confer some advantages and disadvantages (sickle-cell anemia and malaria, for instance). Fact is, many genetic differences that some people regard as undesirable are not even classified as diseases, even though they have advantages and disadvantages, if not for lifespan, certainly in social mobility within social environments.

tl;dr: it's patently obvious and beneath discussion that in certain genetic differences might lead two otherwise identical individuals to differ on whether they have different behavior, just as they might differ in many other ways. It's the determination that different behavior in some cases is a "disease" that seems to be at the heart of Szasz's critique of psychology.
The 70ms and 1ms are time spent in the application handle each request, not response times at the client. That's going to be determined by latency between the client and the servers, which are hosted in Softlayer's Washington DC data center. 19ms from Philadelphia if you're curious.
I don't give two shits what Thomas Szasz thought about mental illness, because he wasn't a scientist or even a doctor, he was a goddamn libertarian philosopher. He found mental illness philosophically inconvenient because he couldn't see a way around the State being morally justified in providing coercive treatment to the mentally ill, so he just decided they didn't exist.

He was an asshole who spent sixty years shitting over real science to promote his politics, and you're an asshole for trying to promote his politics at a digital wake.

Is iAnywhere a Next Apple's Product?
Reactive Cocoa, and functional reactive programming in general, is difficult to get your head around. I've tried several times to see why it's worth it, and each time come a little closer. After 3 attempts, I finally do think it is beneficial, but it's not immediately obvious. Here are a few reasons:

1. It enables you to eliminate state. My view controllers always end up with various handles to objects on them so that I can access things during a complicated processing sequence. These things cause edge case bugs, and are generally not a nice thing to have lying around in code.

2. The more I write data processing algorithms, the more I think about them in terms of map, reduce, filter and other similar operations. Reactive Cocoa allows those to be used to control the flow of execution even more, and it fits really nicely with how I'm thinking about algorithms.

3. I've tried some development in QML for Ubuntu Touch, a language which is very declarative, and it was wonderful. It's a very different way of working, but I can really imagine that being the norm in 20 years. Reactive Cocoa, allowing for more declarative coding, brings a small element of that to Objective-C, which is nice.

4. Finally, I found it fits really nicely with the MVVM (Model, View, View-Model) architecture, which in turn feels like a nice and clean way of structuring applications, and appears to be really easy to test. I haven't got too far into testing Reactive Cocoa applications yet, but it looks like they should be very easy to test as the boundaries between each component are much better defined, and inherently more testable.

I highly recommend "Functional Reactive Programming on iOS" by Ash Furrow: https://leanpub.com/iosfrp – I'm nearly at the end of it, and it's helped me understand more about Reactive Cocoa and make it seem a bit less 'magic', which was a feeling I got from the readme on the project's GitHub repo.

Also for some of the reasoning behind FRP, the paper "Out of the Tar Pit" is a good read: http://shaffner.us/cs/papers/tarpit.pdf.

> But x86 itself also has a limit on addressable memory. So does C, because sizeof(void *) is finite. These systems are Turing-complete when you add an external tape using I/O, but so is a finite-state machine!

You could argue that I/O operations (which can emulate an unbounded tape) are defined in the C standard library, which is of course not the case of finite state machines.

So in absence of instantiation bounds C together with the C standard library IS Turing complete.

Quick comments, wish I had more time.

I don't suffer (and never have) from depression so I can't know what you are going through (I do know people though who have so I do have many years exposure in that way fwiw.)

Programming is definitely one of those things that are harder to get reinforcement from the general public on. If that is what someone needs they will have a hard time. Not like in music (as you say) not even like in art, not like getting good grades and/or getting into a good school. Not like making wads of money.

That said early on I realized that many of the things that I did nobody cared about. Rc Helis? Did that in the 80's (gas powered) nobody cared back then (they barely do now) it was super niche. Photography? Really the same "he takes pictures". "He's a photographer" (almost with a laugh). Many would get annoyed actually. (I didn't care).

Likewise when I do negotiations and deals now (for clients) they have no clue of the effort that goes in. I once sent someone a picture of an each (an inch in height) of emails that I had printed out. To make the point (you have to toot your own horn as uncomfortable as that is). Otherwise the only thing they care about is the result. But you have to show why you charge what you do. Otherwise they think it's really easy.

But it's something that I have always dealt with with things that "I do" so I've just learned to accept it. But I've definitely recognized it and yeah it would be nice if people acknowledged what you did for sure. Luckily my wife will listen to my war stories on things. But if I show her a script that I wrote to automate things she glazes over "he does computer things" (like the guy who does woodworking I guess).

In a sense this is why some people need the trappings of success (nice house, nice car) because that way it's a marker that "they must be doing well if they could afford the expensive Porsche" and yes you do get treated differently.
The point was the research is being performed by a government funded lab not private money.

> His argument is more along the lines of "in the long term racist businesses will lose business to more accepting and diverse ones."

This assumes that the business differential exists and is large enough to matter.

I generally point out the lack of non-smoking bars/nightclubs before all the anti-smoking laws went on the books. Everybody agreed that non-smoking venues were a good thing, but non-smoking bars/nightclubs simply did not exist because the business differential was too high (smokers were so much more profitable than non-smokers that even though non-smokers outnumbered them nothing would cater to the non-smokers).

In the case of AirBnB, how much profit will someone give up by not serving <ethnic group>? Not much since most of these places are just getting a little bit of profit for renting out extra space.
"If your experiment needs statistics, you ought to have done a better experiment." -- Ernest Rutherford
If I understand the parent correctly, he agrees with a certain Thomas Szasz' [1] opinions on psychiatry. Central among his opinions is the assertion that mental illness is a "myth" due to the lack of observable changes at the cellular level (or at autopsy), and that mental illness patients are "malingerers".

My opinion : the dude sounds like an ass and his opinions are eye-rolling.
