The article links this wallet: https://blockchain.info/charts/received-per-day?address=1Drt...

But that was a Bitstamp wallet, not an MtGox wallet.
Sorry, you seem to be suggesting that having insurance (access to non-emergency medical treatment) has no effect on life expectancy.

Which might be the case. You argue that Oregon showed that. Doesn't that paint medicine as a huge fraud, regardless who is paying for it?
Paywall. Anyone got this on a free source? And can we stop posting paywall sites here? This is getting ridiculous.
agree. without alignment, it looks like a mess.

very nice though. The icons looks like Ubuntu style.

This is pretty disrespectful to the Atom team and word is that they're not really happy about it.

They have the right to limit the distribution of their beta software.
Short answer: python is perl for bureaucrats and computer scientists. Ruby is perl for people who realised php is awful.

Perl fits the same niche as English does for natural language - used everywhere, easy to learn for simple cases,very tough to master. The way I like to say it is that while most programming languages help you think more like the computer, perl helps the computer think more like you do.
DBIx::Class (in perl) has a connection info option that calls a method that does its best to turn all of that horrible crap off:

sub connect_call_set_strict_mode {
my $self = shift;

# the @@sql_mode puts back what was previously set on the session handle
$self->_do_query(q|SET SQL_MODE = CONCAT('ANSI,TRADITIONAL,ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,', @@sql_mode)|);
$self->_do_query(q|SET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL = 0|);
}

Please feel free to steal it if it helps :)
"Bitcoin Exchange Had $63.6 billion in Outstanding Debt"

... right under.

These numbers are off by a factor of 1000, so which one is it? It's pretty horrible journalism and/or editing to get simple things like that wrong and expect me to pay them for the privilege of reading the remaining of the article I now I don't really trust the numbers in.

First of all, your body would likely screw up the interference patterns enough that it wouldn't be a "ball of energy" in the center of the person - it would likely mostly diffusely heat them.

Second, the amount of power to burn a person is many orders of magnitude higher than needed to receive a signal. The transmitters would have to be extraordinarily powerful. I can only see this happening if they plan on making a wireless power transmission service.

Also, a 1cm ball is extremely optimistic, given that LTE frequences have several cm wavelengths. It would also require an enormous number of pCell transmitters to concentrate their transmission into such an area. For communications though, even concentrating into a 20m ball would be a huge improvement over existing technology, so I don't know if there is incentive to place more antennas than required for that.
It may run but it won't compile. I'm no fan of Gentoo, but if it's open source I ought to be able to reproduce the binary with those sources.

Edit: An open source program must never depend on binaries in the build process where those binaries can't themselves be rebuilt from source. Again, I'm not a zealot but as a developer I see dependencies on arbitrary binaries as damage and try to work around them.
This clip is phenomenal.

Say what? UTF8 allows for any character that the Unicode standard defines. If they wanted to restrict a characterset to the BMP, then they should call it UTF-8-BMP.
Yep it is. The Adapter will generate and cache a view for each item - but once the view moves off the screen, the adapter will reclaim/recycle that view, and the next item to request a view will be given the recycled view. In effect it is identical to the ios or flash list model.
ah that gives me lots of things to think about.
Compile it yourself or get some trusted party to it for you, and sideload it. "But you can't sideload iOS apps!" Well, then we're back to what Apple could do.
Maybe.

That doesn't change the fact that I can't find a job in another sector just because I know programming.

That fact is IT actually saves a lot of money to the extent that effect is proportional to the sum of innovation.

It's true that it's an easier life to know programming nowadays, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have a better life if you're a programmer, hired or not.

I think programmers should not complain about anything or their job if they chose to swallow the blue pill and work a programming job they don't like, coding for a project they don't like.

I think you can complain if you got at least ideas for solutions that have not been tried. If you don't, and you work a job you don't like, then don't complain, because you're part of the problem.

Programming is not always about making a project work. Programming is mostly about innovation and making new useful things and improving old things.

I don't understand why most of the IT landscape is still email and http and html, technologies that have been created at the very beginning.

I think most jobs are luxurious jobs, but that's because the government is more effective than in other places. If you do programming but you don't like what you do, maybe it's because the work you're being given is just shitty. Maybe it's better than doing a shit job, but sitting doing something you don't like is as much turning people crazy than anything else.

"Even more people are getting their butts of the beds every morning, going to the job they hate, just to support the basic needs."

And you think that programmers don't? I work as a badly underpaid php developer and have slept on a couch in a ~35m² single-room apartment for the last few years. I handed in my resignation this week, because this job causes depressions that make me borderline suicidal. I'll have to live off of state welfare, if I can get it, if I don't then I'll be homeless, but I just can't take this shit anymore, so I'm taking the plunge and hope for the best.

For every well-paid and -treated programmer there are a whole bunch of underpaid and ill-treated ones. Besides, what's so wrong about not wanting to work? You as someone with a good grip on what technology can do should see that we could've started to automate the production of things needed for basic survival (food, shelter, energy…) decades, if not even longer, ago.

As far as I can tell, programmers have far greater chances to end up with depression or burnout than most other jobs, so please don't act like it's all sunshine and unicorn farts for all of us.

I never got that. He wrote a great article about the issue and then ended with using UCS-2. I always wondered if there was something I missed that made him choose UCS-2 over UTF-8, since UTF-8 can represent every Unicode code point.
This is absolute nonsense.

Basically to describe the relation between perl and PHP, take all the good things out of perl 5.005 and you're left with PHP. Perl's internals to my knowledge are insane in a mad genius kind of a way. I would imagine that PHPs internals are pathalogical in a 'tramp smelling of urine' kind of way.
RAAS (rTorrent as a service)?
IMO this is a combination of "doesn't know any better", "works for me", and "it's easy enough, don't bother me with complicate solutions".

Which is unfortunate as the "complicate" solution is often just the right solution but if the wrong solution doesn't blow up into their faces in 99% to 90% of the use cases, many people are satisfied enough with it.

I think these reasons also play a role in PHP's ongoing popularity.
It's a major reason I still use something similar, although I've been using HHVM instead. Amazing for prototyping, and years of experience makes it easy to work with personally :)

"Atom: Now with" trend
I'm very excited about Atom, mainly because of it modular nature. But what this differs from Brackets modular nature that is also in Javascript?

I'm asking this, because I want to answer to me this question: to which project should I contribute with new modules?

What would you do or what are all the variables that I should consider to make this decision?
Both WSJ and NYT (maybe also other publications with a paywall) will display articles if you are coming from Google. Just entering the article title (article URL tends to work, too) into Google will get you there without any paywall. (I guess this is also why looking at the cache works.)

It’s a form price differentiation, really. Also, I’m guessing this is probably the reason why many are not aware of the paywall and link to these articles.

In this case alternative and equally good sources without paywall exist so it doesn’t make much sense to link to the article with paywall (but that might have been a mistake). However, I do not understand objections to paywalls in principle.
E.g. the type of map is

map :: forall a b. (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]

The important part here is the `forall'. This means, that Haskell guarantees that essentially the map function can not look at the elements of your list. The only way for map to produce a value of type `b' is to apply the given call-back on an `a'.

So you know that `map' can not eg add up your `a's.

Compare C++'s templates and overloading, where more function definitions with more specific types have precedence over more general ones.

The Gox Crater: Crowd Detectives Reveal Billion-Dollar Heist As Inside Job
Anyone knows why anyone would impose these limits to crowdfunding?
No, it doesn't paint medicine as a huge fraud. For example, suppose people without insurance already do have access to non-emergency medical treatment. Then giving them insurance will not make them healthier - it will only make them wealthier.

So that's part of what happened - if you look at the data, both the control and treatment group did consume medicine. You don't need insurance to get treated. But medical consumption increased in the treatment group - it just didn't improve health. That suggests medicine has a point of diminishing returns, and people without insurance already consume enough to reach that point.

(Also, a caveat: the Oregon Experiment was too short to measure an effect on life expectancy. They measured several other proxy health measures instead.)

tl;dr

here are lines from the article to summarize it

"The .. point is that Perl 5 gives you a way to build .. (DSL's) that can be seemlessly worked into a general purpose programming environment."

"Perl is a language many people love to hate. Here's an example .. of sloppy coding"

"It is very hard to modify safely."

"it is possible to do this sort of thing in any language."

"Let's try this newer Perl code"

"This .. is easier to maintain, and is easier to understand."

"The above two examples ..neither one really shows what Perl is capable of doing"

"Perl itself is a highly malleable language and .. allows you to define domain-specific languages for parts of your program"

"Here's a small class for handling currency records."

"Now the code above .. is effectively entirely declarative."

"What differentiates the examples .. is .. readability, testability, and maintainability."

"How does that work?"

"Perl is a very flexible .. you can add functions that behave .. like keywords."

"The example here uses two modules which provide DSL's for specific purposes."

"The first is Moose"

"The second is PGObject::Util:DBmethod"

"Why is this Powerful and Productive?"

"Compare a framework built as a mini-DSL specification language to one built as an object model."

"In an object model framework one .. has to juggle object-oriented design .. with the desire for greater flexibility."

"DSL's .. allow you to define the object model orthogonally to the framework"

"Other Similarly Powerful Languages"

"Lisp"

"Rebol and Red,.. implementations are still very immature"

"Metaprogramming helps to some extent..in Ruby and Python .. but .. makes it much harder to build a framework that is truly orthogonal to the object model."

" Perl isn't just a programming language, but a toolkit for building programming languages inside it. "
An interview with self-published author Colin Wright
"the problem is that there's no good real-world equivalent of a "monoid" that basically everybody is familiar with."

But that isn't really true. Addition and multiplication are both real-world examples of monoids that everyone is familiar with (obviously, these aren't physical things, but I don't see why that's relevant).
To bypass the paywall:

TOKYO—A lawyer for Mt. Gox announced at a news conference at the Tokyo District Court that the embattled bitcoin exchange was filing for bankruptcy protection and that Mt. Gox had outstanding debt of about ¥6.5 billion ($63.6 million).

The exchange has been under fire from investors since it stopped bitcoin withdrawals in early February, citing a technical issue that potentially made fraudulent withdrawals possible.

On Tuesday, Mt. Gox, which at one point handled more than 80% of trades in the virtual currency, stopped all transactions, dealing the severest blow to the bitcoin industry yet and raised concerns about a lack of protection for users. Several Mt. Gox investors say they have little hope of recovering their funds, with some individual investors saying they had bitcoins valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars in Mt. Gox.

The #1 difficulty with email startups is that they have to invent a market that doesn't exist and doesn't want to exist.

Few people even know that they can access Gmail anywhere other than at mail.google.com or via the Gmail app. Ditto for hotmail/outlook.com and pretty much every other freemail service out there. And of course ad-supported freemail providers have no incentive to let their users access email with a third-party app.

The distinction between an email service and an email app is so murky in the minds of most people, that Mozilla added a dialog box to Thunderbird where they offer to create a new email account for the user. Seriously, a lot of people were wondering why Thunderbird didn't come with its own email address! Instead of trying to dispel this myth, Mozilla just let people keep believing it.

To me the fact that "trolling" means different things to different people should be enough to render questions on it moot. What I call trolling is playing devils advocate and taking extreme counter-positions to make someone "bite", and isn't really harassment or bullying.

But it's a fine line, and in the end you have to decide whether you're ok under free speech with someone taking the "Hitler was a net positive" position [on a Jewish dating site] or if that's a form of harassment.
We are in talks to have the same kinds of limits in France.

I don't know about Spain but here it is essentially a need for people in charge of the "digital economy" to somehow feel useful and show that they are "regulating" something. In this case they must feel more justified because it circumvents traditional actors (i.e. banks) and involves money.

It is kind of amusing because this is a sector where most EU countries enjoyed a more liberal regulatory context before startups started to spawn in the US. And now that there is a boom, regulations are added to prevent it from developing, effectively removing any possible european competition to US companies in the space.

I don't know if this will affect the likes of Kickstarter though, if they don't have any physical presence in Spain I don't see how the government is going to know about it.

Should Mark Karpeles go to jail?

It's a question I've asked myself many times over the past couple days.

On one hand, there may be a chilling effect if Karpeles is sent to jail, because fewer companies may be willing to participate in an area where the penalty for failure is time behind bars.

On the other hand, it feels very inequitable and unjust that Karpeles made millions off of MtGox, lost our money and then is free to enjoy life. But this is a vengeful mindset, and it seems counterproductive.

Is it really just a bad situation with no recourse? Karpeles walks, MtGox shuts down, and everyone's money is gone. Poof.

The most persuasive argument for jailtime seems to be that if he's not penalized, then others may attempt to orchestrate similar disasters. Bitcoin has a very, very small chance at becoming the next gold standard, but it's a chance nonetheless. Therefore whoever is willing to flaunt the law and steal >5% of all bitcoins that will ever be created has a very, very small chance at becoming extremely powerful in the future, and wealthy in the short term.

I don't know. There's probably nothing to be done, and taking away years of a person's life out of a sense of retribution probably isn't the best answer.
