This isn't as uncommon as you might think, I've seen colleagues, particularly those of the workaholic bent, crack - though not to this degree. A good friend used to quite literally sleep in the office during crunch times. When management pointed to him as the reference example for the rest of us, I left. I feel guilty for doing so, he ended up taking several years off on disability after his marriage ended, the founders successfully exited and the new owners outsourced development.

Ultimately when you push yourself this hard, you're doing it wrong. Work to live, not live to work. Life is far too short for that. As much as I love what I do, I harbour no illusion that any of it is important enough to damage my well being.
Yes, it would indeed be totally incredible if the plane was actually lost...

However, it is already evident that there is much more going on - that the forces involved are far from benign, that the events are far from random and that whatever is at stake is of a Very High Value to someone.
Agree w/ 3. Regarding 1 & 2, I may be somewhat provincial, but is there a non-religious group who has it in for the Chinese?

edit: ... especially one that is capable of this operation and not interested in publicizing their involvement in doing so.
As for the decimal mark (comma), it's most of the world really. This has nothing to do with grouping in numbers. I find both types of thousands separator (, or .) misleading, pointless and not nice at all. But maybe that's because I grew up in a country that used neither of those.
The cockpit isn't airtight - it would be at the same pressure as the rest of the cabin.

The recommended limit around 43,100 ft. 45,000 ft isn't that far above it so it's possible that there may be no impact on passengers at that level (if you're saying 43,100ft is safe, you're going to have a margin for error, it's not going to depressurize at 43,101 ft).

Certainly if it was part of your plan to incapacitate the passengers it seems overly complex, risky and uncertain.

That said, given what happened on Flight 77, if you were hijacking a plane, a plan to deal with the passengers would make a lot of sense. I'm just not sure this plan to do so does.
This is quite old and has been defunct for years now. It is a collaboration between Ubermorgen and Paolo Cirio & Alessandro Ludovico

For Ubermorgen it was part of a trilogy[1] of art/hacks displayed in art galleries with amazon noir [2] and the sound of ebay [3].

For Paolo Cirio & Alessandro Ludovico it was part of The Hacking Monopolism Trilogy[4] with the same amazon noir and face to facebook[4] stealing a million facebook accounts and auto-populating a dating website with them [5]. They have more info and pics about gwei [6].

It's a fast and costly toy indeed, but that's the way it is for the extreme segment of cars with combustion-based engine too. Look at Bugatti Veyron - "the fastest street-legal production car in the world" weighting almost two tons! That's OK for Rimac to be heavy. Also, the safety requirements are not so strict if the car is manufactured only in a limited number (and looking at the price-tag, it's safe to say that limited production quantity it will be).
> I've met the opposite as well, charming, well dressed, and physically fit engineer types who can hold a conversation with the opposite sex without any awkward vibes at all.

> The awkward types seem to lack some dating experience and thus cannot discern positive/negative social cues or read body language as well.

I hate replying to this, but here it goes: have you even given positive social cues to guys who weren't "charming, well dressed and physically fit engineer types"? Also, if you're only getting "awkward vibes" from unattractive guys, that might not be a problem with their social skills (at least not in the way you're putting it; charm is a social skill).

Not to mention, what does "well dressed and physically fit" even have to do with "awkward"?
What about posting pictures of his house? That seems like a huge invasion of privacy to me and it was completely gratuitous IMO.
No, I got your point quite clearly. If hula hooping women make you uncomfortable, that's unfortunate, but also totally your problem. Ditto breastfeeding and suchlike.
I guess, if you can verify that there was communication by from the Satoshi Nakamoto account around the timeframe where he claims to be hospitalised (october 2012 and october 2013), it will be less likely that Dorian has bitcoin involvement.
It seems you are conflating two different topics here, one of splitting future titles and working order and the other of presenting things externally.

Figure out now how you intend to split the roles between you and how you intend to work together. The CEO will be in charge of the CTO.

After you figure that out figure out how you are going to present things externally and on business cards. For a two person company co-founders seems better but it really depends on you two and your views.
Well as I have pointed out before, I am still learning but there are few interesting propositions here.

core.typed - Type Clojure, but still not complete

Shen - despite its questionable licensing scheme, it is a derivative of Qi. Qi and Shen are very powerful types systems (not just Haskell, but think even more complex like Idris, Coq, Agda, etc). The original implementations, if you want irony, are Common Lisp. The caveat is Shen has been ported to other runtimes, namely, Python and Ruby. But SBCL is the preferred runtime layer for Shen's crazy type system.

Typed Racket - It is a Scheme, and people will throw things at me, but I think it safe to say static types for this subset prove Lisp family languages have the potential for robust static typing systems you hint at.

TL;DR: Strong static typing is not common (pun intended), but it is possible. I think what we want to see is Shen with a good license: a very robust type system with a Lisp, separate or library. Then, Lisp will be the one ring-language to rule them all.

Perhaps we can call this library or Lisp variant Precious, and its hipster vote can go through the charts.
> what a brilliant process science is.

Compared to what? Religion? Well, due.

> After all, even with such waste, such bias, and such low rates of reproduction, science still gives us amazing insights into the world, enriches our understanding of the universe and our place in it

The low rates of reproductions are in social sciences, drug research, etc, where the "insight into the world" comes from physic, astrology, etc.

"Snuck" is a strange American word, the same as "dove" instead of "dived", eg. "he dove into the pool" instead of "he dived into the pool". I would read "snuck" as "sneaked". Another weird word is "gotten".
And another strange and irritating phrase that is sneaking its way into English over here is "for free", but "free" is not a price so instead of "buy 3 eggs for £2.00", you get weird phrases "sign up now and get this egg for free", whereas it should be "sign up now and get this egg free" or "sign up now and get this egg for nothing".

Always interesting the difference between the languages over time.

With reference to the flight, I truly hope they find it somewhere safe.
Ah, yeah. Sorry - didn't realise it was up already.

Actually, during the Cold War there were fairly detailed plans the, if executed, would have turned the UK into a totalitarian state pretty quickly - Duncan Campbell exposed these in his excellent series "Secret Society" - and particularly the episode "In Time Of Crisis: Government Emergency Powers"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Campbell_%28journalist%2...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XBdCwWeYzo

The fact that these plans existed during the Cold War is not really a surprise (although the severity of the planned measures is quite alarming - no wonder they tried to keep them secret).

What I do wonder about is what state these plans are in now and under what circumstances they could be used.
Do you have any idea what they were doing? mining coins?!
Isn't it possible that one passenger may have left his cell phone on?

Maybe if you get all of the passengers numbers and check if any of the phones connected to a tower you could locate it?

> Homebrew always builds from source.

Wrong. Homebrew has so-called "bottled" binaries that get "poured in" unless you tell it to build from source or use a flag mandating a custom build.
So far this is just hype, speculation, and an "aspiring science journalist" (says so in the byline) trying to make a name for herself.

If she's right, big scoop and plaudits to her.

If she's wrong, nobody cares. She covered her ass with a question mark.

Smart woman. She'll go far, I'm sure.
She was engaging in a personal relationship with the founder's spouse as well as a sexual relationship with a coworker. How is that not asking for jealousy related drama ? Does it really matter how that drama eventually manifests ? I don't think so.

I'm just trying to hold her to the same standards that a male would be held to.
Well, there is a lot of praise on cleverness of the statement, but I think people are pretty used to PR talk now. If the best they have now is a promise of an investigation, that's not the same as a "we are fully investigating the issue" (which I think is the most standard way to handle this kind of situation. Even if really nothing is done, stating that the investigation is ongoing is an easier stance.

Also, people might forget about the issue in 6 months, but the bad taste in the mouth we have now will stay attached to the brand. The best move IMO would be to come 'clean' as soon as possible, and let the hype die down from there, provided they are OK with doing the right thing, whatever it might be.

Actually, Tesla's aim is to become mainstream. So far, Rimac's aim is only the high-end market segment. I think it will be beneficial to everyone, as Rimac's focus on performance should have a beneficial impact on the general perception regarding the electric cars.
1) that will call strlen on "submenu"

2) the writer may be using a different malloc than the libc one

3) there is an argument to be made that using malloc plainly like this instead of hiding it with strdup makes it easy to see the sites in your program where heap memory is allocated
To qualify my original statement much later, I was told offhand by people Ocaml's multi-core processor/SMP limitations continue to exist (I know Jane Street actually is putting up money to change this) because the license of Ocaml prohibited people from making any other forked implementation of Ocaml itself. Thus, it has been single-core only for many years later, because Xavier and the core team did not think SMP implementation was a priority, and have not been asked since.

Granted, I very seemingly little about this. So I could be very mistaken. Can some confirm I am wrong? I am sure someone here has far more detail than me generalized nonsense.
Do you have more info about how Python 2 is faster than Python 3? I had understood that it was faster for some stuff but slower for other stuff. This benchmark says they're roughly the same: https://speakerdeck.com/pyconslides/python-3-dot-3-trust-me-...
"Presumably Newsweek didn't outright fabricate any of his quotes"

You're not familiar with journalists are you. If they can't get anything quotable out of you, even something they can mis-quote, they will just outright make it up.

> You're joking right??

Not at all. Well, maybe not compared to C++, but still, it doesn't seem like really plausible alternative, that can be recommended and seriously used in a complex application. Dijkstra agrees. ;)

> but its default behaviour is much better for security than C++

Oh, sure. But that could be said about pretty much every language out there. Somebody recommends Haskell. Haskell's default behavior is way better than C++. It's not enough.

Actually, I never saw big projects in Ada, so I can be wrong, but it seems to me that for typical more or less sane programmer might be even easier to write hard-to-understand code in Ada than in C++, even though Ada is much better designed. The reason is that C++ complexity is well known, many of it's features considered dangerous and most of people seem to avoid them. That's not true for Ada, and it's also very feature-rich.

If anything: there are many things about Ada I like. Its data type system, for example. It's really a shame that after C many programmers somehow "forgot" that all that stuff exists.
time to figure out who was on that flight, perhaps it was someone so important that taking a plane full of passengers was worth the cost.
TL'DR, people are unwilling to temporarily forgo convenience to dissipate the toxic cloud enshrouding them.

This is the shape of things to come. Reminds me why I don't live in a city.
The quote you give is irrelevant. One would expect cash-rich dividend holdouts to outperform dividend payers on the basis that dividend holdouts are often companies whose shareholders expect, often based on past performance, will deliver better than market returns with any cash they're allowed by shareholders to keep.

At the same time, dividend payers are valued on the basis that they have distributed part of the assets of the company. Looking at the share price on its own is fairly uninteresting, as that does not take into account the total value to shareholders. If you want to look at total value to shareholders, take the share price and assume that every dollar paid in dividends is immediately re-invested in more shares in the company. Once you do that, companies that pay dividends perform substantially better than if you look at the share price alone.
Nice to see single-dispatch generic functions coming to the standard library. That will help making some pieces of code simpler and more readable.

I am not enthusiastic about jumping into speculation land, but I would be interested in knowing if the possibility of this being a accident followed by auto pilot is possible or totally disproven

My default assumption was they took off, an accident occurred that damaged cockpit and forced a turnaround, the damage was so great that the crew were unable to survive and turned on autopilot to stop an immediate crash, which then flew for seven hours till fuel ended, presumably with passengers pounding on the locked and hardened cockpit door.

So whilst I am in wild speculation territory I would like to know if there are some experts who might be able to say "bird strikes cannot disable radios" or "oxygen canisters do not leak" or "stewardesses can open the cockpit door" or some such.

I tend towards cockup not conspiracy myself.

(I recognise I may have missed discussions covering this and apologise if it is obvious)

There is a period people feel angry and sad when they lose the things they cherish the most at that present moment, e.g. power and reputation. The only thing you can do is to let them rage a bit verbally, send in people to check him, take him out for a few meals. I don't know if this is a law or not, but release him after three months looks like a good gesture.

I used to do this in the past. I would stay in my research lab overnight like every once or twice a week. even if I went home I would continue to work on my project. I did that probably because I wasn't very competent. I knew little but I had an image of what I wanted to accomplish. I had a picture of how the project should turn out to be. I had a high expectation for myself and I wanted to amuse me and other people. But being incompetent, I couldn't waste time so pushed myself very hard.
Still better than 13 years for C++11 or having to wait around 6 years for the availability across all major compilers of what might be C++17 (looking at you modules).
That could be adjusted. Maybe program it to say keep the last 5 things you streamed and constantly seed them every time you have the app open.

That way torrents with lots of watchers would be more seeded since their in watched cache of a lot of people.
Probably also reasonable is "don't date anyone in your building", at least that way you don't have to see them every day if it goes south.
This seems the most likely in my opinion. I wonder if the fate of Flight 961 would have been known if the captain hadn't deliberately mislead the hijackers about the direction they were flying in and landed close to a beach?
It's only one vague point of interest among many, but there were twenty Freescale employees on board flight 370. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/09/malaysia-airlines-...
'60s architecture is terrible, and my response to a lot of it is "what were they thinking?". But modern malls can be beautiful; light, airy, with great shops and food.

I think one thing is seriously damaging malls: we're now allowing huge corporate-owned "public spaces" in a way we never used to, which give the retailers the advantages of a mall while being out in the open. But where I live new malls are still opening, and they're still great places to go (as is what claims to be the first ever mall, on Jermyn Street).
After all the revelations of the last few days, is there anything it may not have done?
I had the same "fun" idea 6 years ago. In 3 months Yahoo Site Explorer reported 150 million pages indexed. As of today Google still shows 55 million pages (in comparison, https://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://en.wikipedia.org... reports 34 million pages).

I had to kill the experiment (no more new "pages" crawled) because of the CPU load and bandwidth costs, even throttling robots
A team of freescale chip engineers for one.

Also, the answer might well be "what" instead of who. Many people have pointed out that the cargo manifest hasn't been published, and that the airline declared 50 less seats as available for boarding than the plane had. This means it had several tons of cargo on board.
This is true outside of programming too.

I work at an engineering consultancy and I was highly motivated to "prove my worth" going in. I shipped like crazy on my job in the initial few days. X numbers of procedures written, Y number of proposals evaluated, Z number of reports generated where X, Y, and Z were much higher than average. It was mostly to see how much I could get done, and I was getting a lot done. Initially my boss was happy but then more work kept piling up on my desk because I could obviously get this work done while some of my co-workers continued to work at snail's pace. I don't fault them because they obviously knew that it was better just to do the minimum amount of work to not raise questions and then chill in the break room or just catching up on each other's lives.

Anyway long story short I learned that unless it is a make or break situation where the upside is written in a contract, it is just better to coast along when working at MegaCorps (I can't comment on startups as I haven't worked at one).

On another note, one of the things we do is we train and certify people. This is a high volume service and most companies want certificates for each individual that they contract with us for a training. One of my co-workers used to manually copy fields such as ; FirstName, LastName, NameOfTraining, DateofAttendence, Validity, NameOfCompany, NameOfTrainer, CertificateNo, etc. from an Excel file for each individual on to a word document and then hit print. She would do this 100 times if there were 100 attendees who were trained. It was her full time job because it was so time consuming. All I had to do was setup MailMerge on MS Word that took data from Excel and generated all the certificates in one batch to reduce her full time job to 10 minutes. Obviously I need to switch companies soon lest I go crazy too.
It would be interesting to have an application that Googles regularly this kind of sensitive information and tells you if it showed up somewhere public.

Of course it would need a full list of your sensitive keys and password, which it practice would be quite dangerous...
Barring ethical and legal issues, no, not really; the pirates offer a better product. And in some places, they're the only providers at all.
Apparently the door can be opened.

They enter a code and if the cockpit doesn't reject it within a certain time frame the door opens.

See Helios flight 522.
"Despite being well treated and paid, for his hard work, he was still looked at as just a worker that produced well. He was never considered to be a key player in the company."

He was right. He should've been recognized as a key player. But the idea that being seen as a key player in the company requires you to be higher in the hierarchy is a fallacy.

The art of good company structure is keeping the hierarchy relatively flat (not non-existent, but still relatively flat), so hierarchy does not become the de-facto tool for "recognition" of an employee. There was no reason this programmer shouldn't have gotten more respect (during decision making) and more money even than his direct boss, but staying in the position he's in, where he's contributing his best.

Apple's infamous "top 100" meetings pick 100 of the most influential people in the company for a secret retreat. They're not selected by hierarchy. They're selected by their individual contributions. There's a lot of wisdom in that way of doing things.

And a side note about mental conditions. It's easy to say "oh he was probably unstable anyway", but that's bullshit. Every one of you "stable" people have a breaking point. Every one of you. Environmental stress is a huge factor affecting our mental health. So if this happens at your company, don't look for external excuses. Look around yourself, identify the causes, fix them.
