What scares me the most is that by the time we have the technology to bring this artificial intelligence very close to our limbic system and subconscious mind, our computers (smartphones, desktops, tablets and other) will be so totally and thoroughly monitored, throttled, spied on, back doored, and censored, that we will be presented with the choice:

1. Refrain from getting enhanced, and suffer the consequences of limited ability and limited existence.
2. Get enhanced, and start the slow march where people aren't individuals anymore, we are drones in a collection of drones, with a queen.

But hey, maybe that's the best thing ever to happen to our species, to become half and half. Half of the humans become like a hive of bees or colony of ants, and the other half sees if separate and individual free agents is able to perform better. Then the wars that come later will see which one natural selection selects.

Sorry, which comment are you referring to? All I see is a footnote saying "One would be right to argue that collections.namedtuple() is even closer to C struct than this. Let’s not overcomplicate things, however. The point I’m trying to make is valid regardless" which doesn't really say it's a bad idea, just that he didn't decide to talk about it in that article.
People don't like them until they need them.

Then when people need the cops, they call the cops, and their dog gets shot, their door gets broken, their kids get taken away, they get a beat-down, and maybe get to spend a weekend in jail, it goes from "don't like" to "really don't like".

Thanks for reading my comment in the most argumentative way possible! Yes, pedantically pointing out that owning (or leasing) a car beyond ones means is both possible and foolish, while claiming to agree with the main point but then belittling it anyway by declaring it obvious -- that's why I keep coming back to HN.

What I learned from you today, is that I'm the real asshole, because I keep coming back and reading this crap.

I don't think it's really about compiled vs. dynamic - these features first became popular in compiled, staticly-typed functional language like Haskell or *ML. This interplay is good - on .net it sometimes seems like MS is treating F# as a playground for features where the most popular get picked up and added to C#, and there are similar things for Java.

If anything it's the dynamic languages whose future I'm less sure of. Lots of the recent developments are around composing and controlling effects, in a way that almost requires a more serious type system. Perl was once a trailblazer but now seems to be dying, Python looks like it might follow it (and its last big new features seem to have come from Haskell rather than the other way around). Even Ruby isn't the exciting, fresh language it used to be. It's an interesting time to be programming.
Nope. Lenses aren't needed at all, they are just helpful. Lenses are just combined getter+setter that are composable. So you can use (lensA . lensB . lensC) to view, update or replace part of a data structure that is part of a data structure that is part of a data structure.
This is anecdotal evidence, but I've known MagicalTux since he wrote `libgrf` 7 or 8 years ago. He's very much someone that gives back to the communities he's involved in. This whole situation had people running for pick forks, which is the reaction I would expect from the internet, in that it's prone to polarizing extreme opinions. Waiting it out like the last dip makes complete sense.

I think they've been forced to follow the market there. In the early days they criticised this approach in interviews, and stuck to just two pricepoints ($5.99 and $9.99). As they've expanded, they've increased the range of pricepoints and now you have things like the Telltale Games adventures which have massive RRPs but are ~75-85% off in a sale http://www.gog.com/game/tales_of_monkey_island

Mir isn't really rolled out enough to settle the score on that one.

Totally agreed on Unity though - it is a breath of fresh air compared to most alternatives on linux.
Thanks for all the comments, regarding why Ruby and not .NET, it purely comes down to the fact that a) I like Ruby as a language (and have been using it for various "toy" projects since probably 2005/2006 time) and b) hosting costs (I already run a few Linux servers and am comfortable running it, whereas the cost to run a Windows server + associated admin time/costs are slightly prohibitive to me at the moment

ScreenSharing used to work perfectly for me. I could see my second Mac listed as a "Shared" device in the left-panel of my Finder which would keep in-touch over iCloud. Even if the home machine was asleep, connecting with ScreenSharing would wake up the remote machine and allow me to connect. Since updating to Mavericks I'd say I'm about 20% for this method working. For whatever reason, I can no longer wake-up my remote machine using this method. Wish it was as reliable as it used to be - but I haven't found a fix.

Not even Ubuntu.
They use Mir only as a wrapper around XMir which then displays Unity – they've won nothing with this.

But with Wayland coming to kubuntu this summer and Mir coming to Ubuntu at the same time, we'll see how Wayland and Mir compare in production.
I think you misunderstand.

P(gene|healthy), P(gene) and P(healthy) are something we can often measure.

P(healthy|gene) is something we can calculate with the Bayes formula from the above values.

More generic version:

We want to know P(model|data). That's what we always want. What is the probability of some model, based on this data that we measured.

But we only have P(model), P(data) and P(data|model). So we use the Bayes formula to get the answer to the interesting conditional probability. It needs all three inputs. We must estimate if we don't have some.

Just presenting P(data|model) and not constraining P(model) or P(data) in any way means that we can't say anything about P(model|data).

It's like if we start with x + a + b = 5.

If we don't know or estimate a and b, it's impossible to say anything about x. Bayes' formula is like saying then, solve it like this: x = 5 - a - b.

So, if you say, there is not justification placing any constraint on a or b - then it's just saying we clearly do not have enough data to say anything about x either. There is no way out of it.
Yeah, and I was on the ground for the 2008 Republican convention, too. I know what tear gas feels like.

But police behavior toward masses of people in crowd-control situations at protests (where everyone in sight is treated as a criminal) is fundamentally different from police behavior toward individual bystanders at a small, nonviolent emergency scene. So I don't think your exception is valid or applicable.

The essence of privilege is the default treatment you typically receive from strangers. Middle class white women are perceived as the least threatening stereotype by police. Men are more likely to be seen as a threat to be subjugated, non-whites more so, the obviously poor more so.
With the rise of national corporate-owned radio stations, you have fewer program directors you need to convince to play your songs. But you're also competing with lots of other bands who sound just like you, because of the record company's tendency to sign clones of already top-selling bands.

Internet playlists (today's mix-tapes?) and college-radio probably have the greatest chance of becoming famous. Live venues work for local markets (Austin in particular), but breaking out onto the national stage is tough.
I think it's sustainable, it's not exclusively about getting the games cheaply it's also about removing the consequences for buying games you don't like. If I buy a game on GOG or HumbleBundle and never play it I don't feel any remorse, and I do it again and again and again.

More dense urban space, yes. Once you increase the housing density you can have walkable/cycleable cities and decent public transport rather than urban sprawl.

I'm in favour of open, green spaces for people to play or relax, but that doesn't happen on lawns; public parks (at least as implemented here in Europe) offer much more chance for everyone to enjoy, and socially rather than on their own.
Maybe... but the companies buying support contracts and sending real dollars RedHat's way are going to be mostly the big shops, the enterprise shops, and I've never seen ubuntu-server in an enterprise shop.

What The NFL Taught Me About Being A Motivated Entrepreneur
Hives and colonies where the drones don't contribute to the direction are better at staying alive and brute forcing any goal, mowing down an opponent through violence, keeping the colony and hive alive against the individual interests of the drones.

Whereas a collection of cooperating individuals are better at choosing the best opportunities for the individuals and advancing the cause of the interests of the drones. Cooperating individuals cause chaos, infighting and huge inefficiency in things that should be very easy, however, in doing so, each individual becomes like a mini hive/colony in and of itself.

We are are the cusp of a glorious age, we may live to see the creation of a new species of human which are to humans as humans are to monkeys. All made possible through using technology to enhance all of our senses, and to provide additional resources to our own thoughts.

I just might join that colony of bees. In the future, I think militaries will take this route. When you join the military and are deployed, you give up your individuality, your movements and thoughts are no longer your own.

My assertion is that dynamic languages evolve faster because they are much easier to build--many of them start out as hobbyist languages (Ruby, Perl, etc.). Just grab the dragon book and you're off to the races.

In contrast, how often do you see hobbyists hacking around on new type systems? Much less often. Evolving type systems is typically the work of PhDs.

Since static languages are harder to implement, they evolve slower.

So, yes, syntax wise, they end up copying what the dynamic languages have already figured out what works/etc.

As an admitted fan of static languages, I think that's just fine. It takes awhile for the static world to catch up.

(E.g. Scala can now give you (basically) the sexy syntax of Ruby, 10 years after Ruby seduced a lot of JVM programmers away from Java, but now with a compiler backing up the syntax with type checking.)

...but, yeah, 10 years is a long time.
That would do it for me :)

edit: I actually think this is an interesting topic. I like the way one usually tries to find a theme that fits the actions the program takes. But it could just as well have been called 'deploy' with 'local', 'remote' and 'setup'. Most administrators would instantly know what is going to happen without having a dictionary lying around.

If you really want to make it dead serious rename 'host' to 'terminal' and 'user' to 'passenger'. And stuff like that.

SUVs just show that one has shitty, suburban taste in vehicles.

You make an impressive number of assumptions! SUV's have plenty of use outside of suburbia, and perhaps a gardener (who likely drives a truck for work) might want his personal vehicle to have space for transporting the odd lawn-mower or towing ability to move his work trailer, should his work truck be in the shop or what have you. You know, things that a gardener might feasibly do, that a Tesla Roadster cannot.

The main hurdle facing post-scarcity economics is not actually scarcity. Rather it is the elitist class, who will do everything it can to ensure continued scarcity in order to keep their socioeconomic positions. We already see this today in a number of ways. For instance, if a commodity isn't scarce, it can be made scarce by effectively creating a monopoly (even if it doesn't appear to be a monopoly from the outside) and hording the commodity. The diamond industry is a good example of this. Another technique is using complex laws to ensure a great deal of labor and supplies are needed to comply. Tax laws are a great example of this. How many accountants would loose their jobs if taxes could be done in five minutes on the back of a napkin? Probably the worst tactic of all is simply the promotion of continued population growth. We really do NOT have enough resources on this planet to give everyone on it a modern life style. And it is imperative for populations to shrink. Until we are well on our way to the stars this is not going to change. But our current economic models crumble in the face of decreasing population. So we can only expect more scarcity in the future, not less.
