Just an anecdatum: I used lpsolve, a general linear programming solver, to layout constraint based user interfaces with no perceptible delay to the user in a desktop situation (no network to blame)… in 1996, on an Intel 486dx50 with 16MB of RAM. I think my cell phone with 80 times the RAM and 40 times the CPU speed can probably swing it too.
I don't get the analogy. With EC2 you either lose your data when rebooting, or you have to use network storage (iSCSI) which has advantages and disadvantages.

BTW, when I invest in a corporation, I do get double taxed. The profits are taxed at the highest possible income tax rate, then I pay 15% tax on the distribution of profits.

Of course if I work for that corporation, I opt to take the "profits" as a bonus. I pay all the taxes in that case, but at least there isn't double taxation.
Wow, old media company finally gets it. I'm guessing they are going to benefit in the following ways:

1. Collect and sell analytics from embedded usage.

3. Use this to promote their images to potential licensees.

4. Destroy the remaining smaller competitive commercial stock photo sites.
Goddamnit guys. Let him be. Come on. Are we hackers here or are we paparazzi?

Heh, I find it the next step in evolution after lisp. All the same flexibility, but with a new language that lets you delineate and work with the meaning of your data alongside the data itself.

I don't think it's anything resembling practical in its current state, but I think it's absolutely the way of the (possibly deep) future. I want to spend more of my time programming with types than programming with values since that's where my brain honestly is (despite the type languages of today being a bit obtuse) and since the compiler is often able to program the value-level stuff for you.

Your <article> for some reason is using position: absolute.

In this style: ".main-content#blog article:after, .main-content #blog article:after", just delete the position: absolute line (not sure where that is in your css file as yours is concatenated/minified in your theme).
Holy hell, that's awesome. I was reading through the blog and saw the headline, immediately went to check out chronon and was about ready to throw down the $60 for a personal license. Now I guess I don't have to :)
It's a rule of thumb, not a mantra.

I suppose the hilarious way to argue it would be to say that there is an implicit "all other things being equal" in front of each of those.

> If it's shrinkwrapped (how meat should be) it's almost always 99.99% unprocessed, or minimally at the most.

Complete and total nonsense. Hotdogs, peperoni, sausage, bacon, and lunch meat all come shrink wrapped. Even Slimjims and jerky.

http://blog.womenshealthmag.com/scoop/what-is-processed-meat...

>Typically, it means anything more manipulated than cut or ground,” says dietician Lisa Cashman, RD. “This includes most lunchmeats found in deli counters, anything with a casing or in sausage form, and, of course, anything smoked or cured like bacon.”

And the American Meat Institute (that's a thing?) defines processing as "processed meats are fresh products that have been changed from their original state. Some have added ingredients like spices. Some are cooked and some are cured."

http://www.meatami.com/ht/a/GetDocumentAction/i/94559

Right so even cooking is a form of processing. This should be pretty obvious. Eating "unprocessed" means eating basically food that is in its natural state, like eating a peach. Processing changes it, like cooking that peach.

Different between unit tests and integration tests. Individual unit tests should be on the order of a millisecond or less so you can rip through them very quickly. If you use Surefire and Maven, name tests with the suffix ITCase (can override) and then you can either run the unit tests or the integration tests with mvn test or mvn integration-test.

> It does introduce a dependency that has to be changed along with the code, but is often helpful.

And that's the rub. Mocks are useful. They help you write tests that are more robust, without having to resort to massive and complex @Befores. At the same time, though, they have an effect that is more negative than positive on the ability to change the code under test.

Starting to raise exceptions for non-exceptional conditions is bad code. And yes, I know that's how generators signal they are exhausted, but it's still bad code.
Double taxation isn't related to the salary you get paid but the dividends that a corporation pays out. A corporation pays taxes on income then when it pays it out as dividends you pay taxes on it again, hence double taxation. As far as I'm aware you are unable to deduct dividend payments from corporate income for the purposes of taxation.

So no, its not FUD in that case at all.
Psuedonymity. The difference is important.
What Gordon Ramsay Taught Me About American Businessmen
Well bane let me, a libertarian, explain to you why I worked for the government while I was a libertarian.

Sometimes the solutions that are government mandated or subsidized would appear in a different form if the government didn't run them. So, for example, mass transit, like subways would still exist if the government didn't use coercion to fund and run it, it would just be owned by private individuals. Just because the government decides that they should be the ones that run the subways and I disagree with that, doesn't mean that I should be exempt from working for the TTC's construction engineering department.

These are two different things. When you live in a system that coerces you into giving up half of your income it doesn't mean that you are in the wrong for working for it or even taking things like subsidies.
My government job is cool, because I do work and stuff.

Other people, of course, suck at the government teat, and drive welfare Cadillacs to the welfare office to pick up their food stamps and welfare check to pay for their 15 kids by different fathers.

In other words, if you do it, it's wrong and you need to change. If I do it, it's because you just don't understand.

(Edit: Do we need an irony tag? This is a humorous comment meant to illustrate one kind of mindset that exists with some of the people who hold 'eliminate all the government' kind of views.)
HTTPS can leak your Personal details to Attackers
Just want to agree with your sentiment here. I have tried on many occasions to incorporate mocking frameworks into my unit tests, and in almost all cases the mocks cause more problems than they solve. Either I'm spending time debugging the buggy behavior of the mock objects themselves, or my test writing is slowed down with a bunch of tedious minutiae about the expectations of the mock framework. For whatever reason I have also found the mock-based tests to be very difficult to refactor when required.

I generally prefer to write a mix of unit and integration tests, and I typically find the integration tests to be more useful.
How do actors or a reactor handle the specific issue of "remote calls to software running in different processes, probably on different machines across a network"? The examples you gave assume that everything can be done in the same process, which isn't always possible. (Eg, a network-based service which uses dedicated GPU hardware for performance reasons, which is too expensive to duplicate for each machine.)

The recovery method will be specific to the remote resource. Eg, if it's often congestion related then a retry with an exponential delay might work. A circuit breaker is just one of many possible fault detection and recovery modes. What language has built-in support for all of them?

Also, I've used this idiom in a different context. Some of my code parses a file containing multiple records, one per line. Some of the records are unparseable, for rare but valid reasons I won't get into. The proper action in that case is to report the problem, skip the record, and go on to the next.

But sometimes people use the wrong format entirely. If (say) 95 of the first 100 records are invalid, then it's very likely that the wrong file was passed as input. In that case, the "circuit breaker" should trip, rather than incorrectly trying to parse the rest of the file, which might have occasional "valid" records. My implementation has a low-level reader, plus an intermediate circuit breaker to add the specific failure policy.

Since your suggested solution doesn't seem to match the problem, and because the referenced idiom applies to more than concurrency, I respectfully disagree with your assessment.
Amazing - that you had the foresight to ask for a picture and he had the foresight to politely decline.

Do you think Satoshi travelled all the way from his home in California to your creperie in Brooklyn just to try out BitCoin in real life?
Connection problems are not limited to concurrency-heavy environments. Your USB device might have a flaky cable or some issue is happening over the network. No matter the language you'll have to deal with that.

I agree that at least in Erlang/OTP timeouts are first class citizens (not sure about Akka) and so that kind of pattern is implemented more naturally.
It is really not an alternative in the sense of the Singleton Pattern. It is an alternative implementation of the Singleton Pattern in PHP.

We have been doing this in C# for a while:

But it is still a singleton. It is just a safer way of implementing it. The implementation still suffers from the Singleton Pattern disadvantages.

I've been in exactly his position, and formed much of my libertarian-style beliefs in direct response to what I saw working within the government.

Having seen it happen anecdotally in literally dozens of cases, I don't think it's that unlikely.
The "science-hating religious person" is just a straw man for Dawkins and the like. Most religious people have no problem with science, and see no contradiction between the two. Many of them even are engineers, scientists, and doctors, often some of the most renowned of their fields.

The groups who actually do see a contradiction typically aren't hypocritical at all about it, to the point of not getting blood transfusions even if it means their death, to use the example of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
If you've got a slow test suite, that mean's you've got a bad test suite. Taking away tests from it to make it faster takes away from its purpose, which is to aid you in refactoring.
Why does anybody care?
Yeah. In my opinion, Valve should be using statistics like time played and number of achievements to try and measure player engagement so they can at least get a rough idea of how popular a given game is (along with things like how long an average playthrough is, whether it has replay value...)
There seems no transaction of the amount of 1 BTC.

Very few people here seem to be discussing the fact that the article offers little real evidence that this is the Satoshi Nakamoto of Bitcoin, and that most likely they just set up an eccentric old man with an unfortunate name collision to end up getting mobbed by the public.
Amazon Enters 3D Printing Industry
As some got at in the comments, the dog metaphor breaks down in a few (rich) ways which Schneier gets at a bit but doesn't make explicit. I don't care about a dog seeing me naked because there is nothing about my being naked the dog can communicate in a way that I might find objectionable. If I were doing something where that was possible, I would object to the dog watching me. Computer systems are quite capable of communicating arbitrary information once they have access to that information.

> I appreciate falsiness in python as well (especially for None, [], {}, set([]))... Interestingly I think zero is arguably the most dubious of the falsies (not that I'd recommend changing it, for obvious backward compatibility pain), but I can remember being burned by bugs from zero evaluating False a number of times, yet I can't once remember being burned by any of the other values I listed burning me.

Agreed, "0 as False" sounds like "let's take a leaf from C and its bad type system". I generally rely on falsiness as well, except when dealing with number, and the inconsistency is annoying. I also agree that midnight is not inherently more false than noon or any other date. But I guess that's a risk with falsiness, just like it is with other magic methods: sometimes you take the magic too far.

Also, not mentioned in the Snopes article, is that the refill cartridge and ink used in the pen weren't even developed specifically with NASA in mind.

Ah, you're actually really close to understanding the correct principle here! You've just confused a couple of different ideas.

First off, cognitive dissonance does not explain any behavior patterns other than those prompted by feeling distressed. If these people were exhibiting symptoms of depression, distress, confusion, etc, or were making their decisions under duress of emotion, you could classify it as cognitive dissonance. But the examples given don't paint the people as particularly distressed.

Doublethink is actually almost the opposite of cognitive dissonance, and is the more correct term for the behavior mentioned. Doublethink is when there is absolutely no conflict in the mind about the two conflicting ideas being held at the same time.

Denial is also a different idea, and probably not completely out of context for the individual's reasoning, but does not describe the behavior. Denial is when someone finds an idea so difficult to accept that they reject it in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. In this case the person's opinion might actually be weighed on various information that seems credible, and so denial might not be a factor at all.

The reason I chose 'hypocrisy' to define this behavior is because it requires an act that is in direct opposition to the values one espouses. In this sense the major difference is that you don't have to hold two opposing views in your head (whether under distress - cognitive dissonance - or not - doublethink). You simply have to say you believe one thing, and do an act which is directly in opposition to that belief.

You seem to be conflating all these different concepts into one giant over-reaching idea. This is probably not a good thing to do throughout life, not only because you're failing to communicate properly by misusing words, but you're actually simplifying a set of complex behaviors into one single idea to make it easier to comprehend. This leads to all kinds of cognitive bias and illogical conclusions.
There is no social expectation that store keepers shouldn't talk about famous people that patronize their establishment. In fact, unless the nature of the establishment merits sensitivity, the expectation is the exact opposite.

For me it's not about getting real time notifications, but about being able to quickly see if I have any messages without having to keep a gmail browser window open all the time. I actually find that I spend LESS time looking at email when I have Notifier running, because I'm not compelled to keep looking at a full Gmail window to see if I have anything. I can easily ignore it most of the time, and when I do want to see if I have anything, I can see it in a half second glance.
Finally! I've been consistently bothered when people hype preprocessors like SASS and LESS as "the future of CSS" or "fixes to the CSS problem."

Yes, they make things somewhat nicer by adding variables and macros and the like, but it's still fundamentally CSS, a language that was designed to style documents rather than implement complicated and dynamic layouts.

My bar for programming/markup languages is how close they come to intent. For example, centering something in CSS is a mess of absolute positions and table-cells -- it couldn't be farther from the simple intent of "I'd like to center this."

So, that's why I'm so excited about this. Writing normal CSS seems like writing Assembly, and SASS/LESS just adds some nice macros... to your Assembly. This feels like writing real code.
It's not a stretch to imagine the conversation went something along the lines of ""I would like to ask him about Bitcoin. This man is Satoshi Nakamoto, he created Bitcoin." and a little bit of creative license was taken with the reporting.
