Go isn't a replacement for C++. You wouldn't write an entire browser in Go.

Instead, I think, you'd write a bunch of fast browser component libraries in C (which is what already happens now), and then glue them together in Go to produce a nice, static, easily-deployed binary for each platform.

You know how in, say, games, you see people writing (needs-to-be-performant) mechanism in C, and then scripting (can-be-slower) policy in Lua? Go excels in this same niche[1] and the results from Go, unlike from Lua, can be treated (and debugged!) as native linked-in code.

I'd still rather the whole browser was written in Rust, though; those libraries that are right now written in C for performance could do with fewer crashes.

---

[1] ...if-and-when it's the policy-writer who compiles and links the binary. If FooCorp ships a game engine as a complete executable binary, and you're expected to just write policy hooks in Lua against the FooCorp's "framework", then there is an equivalent workflow for Go--you'd produce a dynamic library that the executable dlopen()s--but the result doesn't have the same sort of elegance. (You don't get to code-sign the resulting complete executable yourself, for example.)
I'm not Ensorceled, but I'm Canadian and this has happened to me too (in NYC and San Diego).

Nothing too bad, but people have glared at me, asked what I was doing or if they knew me, etc.

I was astonished; it's just something that everybody does where I live so it was weird to have people react like I was doing something outrageous.

> They didn't patent the lifeform, they patented value-adding modifications to the life-form.

Then they should pay the rest of society royalties for all other value-adding modifications that were introduced in those same lifeforms since the dawn of agriculture.

They wan't to sell their value added seed for 100$? Sure but to do that they should pay 99.99$ of royalty to scientists and farmers that intoduced previous genetic modifiactions to those same seeds with selective breeding and mixing species.

great customer service, and the computers hang together. amazing bang for the buck too, like mac.

i've had my hands on about 4 models of theirs. 1 had an unusable keyboard (flimsy + sticky spacebar), one had a very unpleasant trackpad, but beyond that it's been a beautiful experience from keyboard/trackpad to overall system performance to battery life to weight to, again, power for your dollar.

if i weren't happy with my thinkpad w520 (and my work 13' MBA) i'd grab a snares from thinkpenguin (or contact them and see what other models they may be able to hook me up with).

There are websites and browser extensions (such as https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-monitor/pemhg... ; haven't used it myself though) that keep track of diffs of pages, but they require that a user first decides to watch a particular webpage.

Why is it becoming so fashionable in the US for both political parties to reject science? The Right rejects evolution & climate change, etc. and the Left rejects GMOs, nuclear power, vaccinations, etc.

Reasonable is "don't date anyone in your line of management". Options in the case that you do start dating including transferring out to a different manager. That's reasonable, because it's a conflict of interest issue rather than a "who you are allowed to date".

Headline: MIT faulted over its support for students

Caption under picture: Critics say MIT also should have intervened in the case of Aaron Swartz.

Swartz was never a student at MIT.
For context: the Computer Language magazine in the 1980s had a tradition of April Fools editions. This is from one of them, before they got too serious, changed their name to Software Development magazine, and blazed the way for Dr Dobbs into oblivion.
My tastes are pretty eclectic, and the public sites don't really cover those. I also only have 25/12 comcast to home, and trying to do torrenting on private sites with that is painful. My seed box is an atom with 3tb HDD in colo on gige.
Or a tank (Ada). Seriously, Ada is alive and in version 2012 pretty okay. It depends on your application domain, of course, but if you care about safety and reliability, Ada is battle-proven.
"Nobody but Monsanto benefits from Roundup Ready products"

Not even the farmers who grow the seeds with Monsanto's traits? Thousands of Monsanto's happy customers would beg to differ. You benefit, too, because GM crops are cheaper to grow, so the products they end up in are also (marginally) cheaper.

You can certainly have a "rational debate" over the individual and societal costs of GM crops, but it is absurd to pretend that Monsanto is the only party that derives any benefit from their products. If that were true, nobody would buy them.

Disclaimer: I work for a Monsanto subsidiary.
Some of those sites have a limited number of free views (I think WSJ and NYT fall in this category). So only people who frequently go there have to worry about the paywall.
Social events, peer pressure.
> Swartz was never a student at MIT.

But he represented values for which the MIT stands in its self-characterisation.
Back when I did dual boot, I found I seldom used the Windows partition because, for the reasons I'd need a Windows machine, it wasn't a very good one.

If you boot Windows for games, you are far better off buying or building a rig designed for gaming. Conversely, if you need a fast Linux software development system, swap out the hard disk of any decent Core i7 machine for an SSD, which will usually be smaller than the rotating media, which makes dual booting less attractive. And if you are shopping for a Linux machine that's less likely to be a hassle in any way, look for one that uses Intel graphics and has no 3rd party GPU.

I'll wager GM foods are a hell of a lot safer than most of the pharmaceuticals that pass FDA review.

Personally, I think drawing the line at genetic manipulation is arbitrary and not really backed up by science. Given a few years, there are plenty of everyday foods that you can breed into something poisonous.

In a sense, all food is "beta food" since the precise combination of genes that made up that plant may not have been tested before. ( I guess clones like bananas are safe. )

It was a legitimate question. The following are funny, legitimate differences between en-uk/en-us and to my knowledge did not represent any change in semantic value:

'colour' => 'color',
'centre' => 'center',
'capitalise' => 'capitalize'
'grey' => 'gray', # less definitive than others

Why does being curious about en-uk/en-us language differences lead you to believe that I do not have a sense of humor?

A bit off topic perhaps, but is it fair, as the article does, to call these hackers "white hat"? Especially Vupen which sells to the highest bidder(s), although selected, should be considered black hat, as they don't work with the intention of securing software, they even advertise on their site that they will sell the worst security holes for offensive use only.
When you type in some querying strings the backend just fails, for example:

http://inf.demos.dam.io/sdfsdfs

I have yet to find a pattern, but I guess the author did some sort of hashing to the query string and use the hashcode as the seed to generates random text. For some given strings, the backend fail has to do with the use of the hashcode probably. (e.g. use [some_variable_or_constant_here]/[hoshcode - CONSTANT], when hoshcode == CONSTANT, the backend code does not contain the exception handling code.) Just a guess.
It doesn't matter how much equity she has. Or how much professional experience she has. She is not an employee and hence is not entitled to interfere in the internal affairs of the company without management oversight.

If an appropriately senior office of the company invites someone (equity holder or not) to observe or participate in the internal affairs of the company then it is that officer's responsibility to make the situation clear to the employees which whom he/she will be interacting and to oversee such interactions. Needless to say, if such interactions cause distress or could constitute harassment then it is the officer's job to deal with the problem.

To state the blindingly obvious, I may have shares in IBM and expertise in cloud computing but that does not entitle me to walk into IBM data centers and sit opposite ops staff all day.

I lived in Edmonton for a few years. I left in 2010. Before I moved there from Ontario, the West Edmonton Mall was legendary.

I remember going to the West Ed. for the first time; it felt like a mall just like any other, anywhere. Outside of the sheer size, I wasn't impressed.
This is why I checked these comments. Thank you.
Sounds more like a whole bunch of crazy than anything specifically related to gender. I could rewrite this drama with everyone being the same sex and gay and it would read almost identically.
What they probably meant is that Windows is a profit center for HP because of the 3rd party crapware/bloatware loaded with Windows. They don't have similar deals for Linux, and that would probably chase off their Linux customers.
And some people have networks where constantly seeding an entire thing—be it a movie or a Linux distro—is not feasible. When you have 3mbps down/1mbps up DSL, it's going to saturate your upload if you leave it unchecked, and still have a very negative impact even if you throttle.
Well. Some people, like hedge funds or hypothetical corporate-takeovers, will always be interested in paying for them because it's a way to turn money (sitting around) into more money (in the form of a stream of income) - whether through a full-on acquisition, stock buybacks, or due to dividends. Assuming they get a good enough price, naturally.

Other people will pay for them because the first group will pay for them. That's not ridiculous, that's just a transitive property of things being worth money. It's only a problem and a bubble insofar as this group's enthusiasm overwhelms the first group's.
You're right. I don't.

So - you feel the penalties set down in law are always just and appropriate? And maximum sentences/fines are the ideal that should be aimed for?

What are you trying to say exactly?
This is why you should buy machines meant to run Linux, or known to run it well... System76, Dell dev laptop, ThinkPads, and custom parts for a desktop.

If you do your homework, you'll always have a perfectly functioning system. My ThinkPad runs Ubuntu (and Suse) like they were meant for each other.

And dual booting is always a PITA... Just delete Windows...
I would normally try not to give advice, because I don't know you at all, but you flagged yourself as young, so I am throwing out a generic bit of advice. Feel free to ignore if it doesn't apply.

You sound like a good person, aware of some things many your age are not. That's awesome and you should be proud. However, please be very careful with the idea that you "literally give no merit to the gender of [your] coworkers". Many of these behaviors are so subtle that they go completely unnoticed by everyone involved. Most of the truly overt forms of sexism became passé years ago. What's left is covert, and very pernicious. I have been working on trying to increase my awareness of sexism for about a decade now, and I still find myself doing and thinking sexist things every week.

Your privilege is not something you can just lay down. It's a silent companion, (a "dark passenger" for the Dexter fans out there), that you will live with for the rest of your life. Being a good person means staying alert, keeping a little fear in your gut, listening charitably to the people around you, doing your homework, and trusting yourself and your community, day after day.

OK, sorry if that verged a little into lecture territory. It really sounds like you're on the right path already.
For a very long time in the US, the only things that were taxed were physical, tangible things like physical merchandise or real estate. Physical things are a lot easier to track than abstract numberical quantities in various accounts (which is what "income" or "capital gains" really are).

The income tax was really a temporary measure to pay for World War I. (Spoiler: It wasn't temporary.)

If Bitcoin will make accounts anonymous and untaxable, what's wrong with going back to a tax on physical things?
That's what I thought too, but there are a couple places where they refer to him as a "he".

Maybe she was using the app. Once Secret has access to your contacts, it shows you what's been posted by your friends and friends of friends. So she would have seen what almost everyone at Github was posting.
Gluglug is cool but is not a solution for the future - there's only so many working X60's they can salvage. I think the sustainable way is to embrace Linux-friendly companies that cater to general computing.

When my Sandy Bridge laptop dies, I will buy my next computer from System76 who sell Ubuntu laptops. My next laptop may not even be an Intel laptop - I don't need x86, when most programs I use are open source and can be compiled to run natively on anything. I hope we will have a healthy number of Linux ARM laptops to choose from in the near future.
It is worth mentioning that transport aircraft carry Mode S [0] transponders which emit a unique ICAO 24 bit address assigned by aircraft registration. This data is available regardless the pilot-entered 4 octal digit Mode A transponder code. The transponder can still be turned off, however.

This contrasts to small aircraft which typically have Mode A/C only (no mode S).

It's useful because it does not require you to go to a torrents site, find a reputable torrent, download a bittorrent client, set up your ports, wait for the whole movie to download... do I need to continue? :)

So this story is from February 14, 2014, and contains a bit of "he said, MIT said"...there must be an update by now?

> “Students are being threatened with legal action for doing exactly what we encourage them to do: explore and create innovative new technologies,” wrote Hal Abelson, a computer science professor; Ethan Zuckerman, director of the Center for Civic Media at MIT; and Media Lab graduate student Nathan Matias.

The school says it's a misunderstanding:

> MIT provost Martin A. Schmidt said Thursday evening that there had been a misunderstanding. MIT advised the students to get their own lawyer who would be solely focused on their best interest, he said.

“It was never our intent to say we can’t support you,” he said in an interview. “Now that they have that counsel, the Institute stands by its students and we are prepared to support them and their counsel in whatever way we can to help them in this defense.”
> Of course, he did the statistics backwards. He started with the successful companies and looked for common traits. He should've started with the traits and evaluated how companies with-and-without those traits performed.

I don't know if this would give useful insight, and furthermore it's possible someone has already looked into it, but this way of posing the difference sounds like it might be related to the field of research into "one-class machine learning". The usual setup for classification in ML is that you have examples from all the classes. In a positive/negative two-class setting you need both positive and negative examples. But what if you really have a one-class dataset, e.g. just a list of failures and their characteristics? Can you (in a predictively reliable way) generalize anything from that, and predict solely from that class of positive examples whether future cases presented to the classifier are like those? There's quite a bit of work looking into that. (Unfortunately, I don't know much about it.)

This has been long time coming.
These days if a student or young person does what Steve Jobs (phone device) or Bill Gates (exploiting bugs for more Computer time) did and got away with, they face lawsuits and decades in Jail.

It is up to Universities like MIT to aggressively intervene in these cases and ensure that young people are free to (some extent) break systems and exploit system weaknesses in the interest of learning.

MIT did the opposite in the Aaron Shwartz case, their conduct was in large part responsible for Ortiz & Heyman getting Aaron over a barrel of 30 years in the pokey.
They miserably failed in their moral obligations in that case - and the time is long past for changes to this policy.
A varied diet provides sufficient quantities of everything needed. I wouldn't supplement without a doctor identifying an ailment or deficiency, and then I'd prefer a diet change or even a prescription to a supplement. There's too much research (see: SELECT trials) that supplements feed tumorogensis and cancer mortality, and that the supplements you buy may not actually be what you think you're buying (see: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/05/science/herbal-supplements...).
I understand that LIGO can detect something, but how do they know where it came from? How can they register a disturbance in the spectra to a a source? Do they really quickly point a ccd at the sky and hope they captured what happened?
It's not too bad. More like the "brain endoscope" route, except it's just a think micro electrode to confirm the target, then the actual wire itself. Nothing optical (although our surgeon does use an optical endoscope for a different type of surgery, pituitary tumor removal).

Pretty standard stereotactic stuff - metal rigid frame (google Leksell or CRW/Luminant for examples) gets bolted into the outermost bone layer (w/ local anesthesia) that puts the head into an XYZ cartesian coordinate system. The complex stuff is the planning - MRI images have to be taken w/ the frame on, and there's some linear image registration that happens via software. Once the surgeon plans the trajectory (basically a straight line to the targeted brain structure), it's relatively easy - the incision/craniotomy is basically a ~1 cm or less burr hole drilled into the skull, and a micro drive advances first a micro electrode (for confirmation via single unit nerve firing recordings every ~ 0.5 mm or so), then the actual electrode, which is a little over 1 mm in diameter. The surgeon may adjust the trajectory by a few mm either way if he decides he doesn't like the recordings along the length of the trajectory.

The battery/onboard electronics is in a pacemaker-like device that is just put in under the skin in the chest...the tunneling of the wire from the skull to to chest is arguably the hardest part surgically.

Epilepsy brain mapping, on the other hand, is a whole lot more complex, with much more signals processing and data acquisition involved (a bunch of 8x8, 16x16 or more grids of ~ 0.5-1cm electrodes recording local field potentials, and a open craniotomy where you take off a large chunk of skull)
Only looking at direct healthcare spending not indirect costs such as sick days. the overall ROI was $1.50 — that is, a return of $1.50 for every dollar that the employer invested in the program.

They add that wellness programs do reduce time off which would further increase savings, but ignore the fact that healthy people are more productive and employees view perks as additional pay which aids retention. Which suggests wellness programs are vary cost effective.

PS: RAND is a political organisation that looks for facts supporting there conclusions rather that doing actual research.
In most countries, your average Internet consumer can't achieve the speeds you described, though. Also, the download-to-upload rate is significantly higher.

For example, my peak download speed is 5Mbits while the upload speed peaks at 0.6Mbits. That's on one of the more expensive packages, too.
