I particularly disagree with her assertion that Xen is a more trustworthy place for security over the "big, bloated linux kernel". I would argue that the (perhaps smaller) Xen code has seen far less security scrutiny than the kernel and has a far less pronounced culture of security.

Is NASA ever this quick to restart a launch mission after a scrubbed attempt? 3 days seems blazingly fast considering the risks and possible consequences.
If the USA denies access to this aircraft then the whole 30+ nation Open Skies treaty will basically collapse.

The point of it is that each nation is able to monitor each other, within prescribed limits to number and duration of overflights and sensor resolution.

I mean there isn't even a basis for this objection; the USA's OC-135s that participate in Open Skies are already fitted with synthetic-aperture radars ( SAROS ) and it's explicitly permitted in the Treaty:

Open Skies aircraft can be equipped with four types of sensors: optical panoramic and framing cameras; video cameras; infrared line-scanning devices; and sideways-looking synthetic aperture radars.

But the Russkies are fitting digital cameras! Those sneaky buggers. The OC-135s still use film cameras... embarrassing.

Insofar as scripting languages go, Racket/Scheme would also be a nice addition. After all that is what Eich was going for when he created JavaScript. He wanted a language with scheme-like semantics but other forces wanted it to have a C-style syntax.

Can someone tell me the key differences between the actor model and reactive/dataflow programming? I haven't seen any references to erlang in conversations about Reactive programming, which seems odd to me as erlang's lack of shared state and message-passing seem like they fit the definition of reactive programming.

The biggest speed-up to my cold-boot time was when I switched to SSD - time from grub to login screen is now just a few seconds. Interestingly, that changed my usage habits; I started shutting down my laptop more often and therefore had fewer problems with peripherals not initialising properly after waking from hibernate (eg sometimes my touchpad would move the mouse pointer rotated at 90 degrees), but mostly I started booting into my Windows partition more often instead of using Wine etc to try to run programs. A faster boot time made it more trivial to switch between boot options, which I see as a good thing.
The poor letter-spacing, or more accurately kerning, is that either the fonts in use don't have kerning pairs or they're being ignored, as web browsers seem to do. Printing from another typeface would solve the former, but in my experience (and not thoughtful research), kerning pairs are ignored in every browser. Firefox does give an effort, though, with automatic optical kerning, but it often crashes letters together while leaving too much space between others. It would be interesting to know if that feature translated to print.

That's because people aren't smart enough to elect their own high quality leaders. Then after that, they aren't smart enough to assess the quality of the leaders they elected.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a good example of why that is.

This is where capitalism is different from government. Money flows to success and tends to form feedback amplification. Smart people make more money than stupid ones. Smart people reward smart companies with their increased access to money.

The above is why I want to see government as small as reasonably possible. It should be limited to providing a basic framework, defense, maybe some basic research like for the Internet, Space exploration, etc. Only things that have a good track record of success. After that, though, the answers should typically come from the private sector where winners and losers get sorted out based more often upon merits than politics.

Open fireplaces are mostly used for decoration, not heat. The heat transfer characteristics of a traditional stone open fireplace are rather poor. Most of the heat escapes upward through the chimney, which has to be sized large enough to prevent the smoke problem you mention from becoming noticeable to the inhabitants. Depending on the fire's temperature, much of the heat that does make it into the house is due to radiation, not convection.

For fireplaces-as-heating-systems, rather than fireplaces-as-decoration, closed designs like these are more common:

OP here, I can't grow a beard, but yeah, that's pretty much what it is.

It's a reference to how "beards" have become a symbol in popular culture associated with wisdom. The highest level of such beardage is the "greybeard" while the lowest is "neckbeard" (associated with people who don't know anything but pretend to).

Elon Musk's twitter feed is worth a watch to get news:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk
The "wat" is a good first step in identifying problems. However, I see is people getting stuck on "wat" and not moving forward. People would rather win an argument than advance knowledge & the practice. Lot's of ego, programmers have.

In the mean time, one can learn to appreciate & use javascript strengths. It can be quite fun, liberating, & useful. Anecdotally, I have not run into these crazy issues, and I program in javascript everyday. I also have a large app and the framework I built is custom.

I liken this to using C++, Unix, & bash as a base. Yes, you could say these tools suck and spend time creating, marketing, & community-building for a new tool. Or you can iterate & improve upon these existing tools. There's no wrong answer. What do you want to accomplish?

> Sushi knives don't decide to cut you because the rice came from a different origin.

That analogy seems like a stretch. Care to explain? Javascript works with different locales. There are many international websites that use javascript.

Also, javascript does not "decide" to create a bug in your program. You create that bug by misusing the tool. You will get further if you take some responsibility and improve your practice.

> And I'd guess that most craftsmen, outside of a ritual and tradition would love for their tools to have less disadvantages.

I agree with that. Usually the improvements are iterative. One could use a laser cutter (which does not need sharpening) to cut sushi, but that would also burn it. Here's a good talk (Clojure: Programming with Hand Tools).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShEez0JkOFw&safe=active

Ritual & tradition is a social tool to propagate knowledge, idioms, & practices across generations. It makes sense to challenge ritual & tradition to they improve over time. It does not make sense to whine about it without doing anything.

> it'd be like complaining that the only kind of spaghetti you can buy locally cooks only at a specific temperature, and even a bit more turns it to mush

Not getting your analogy. This seems like a stretch, similar to the person who cannot strain the spaghetti noodles on the video. Care to explain?
My favorite opening line is definitely "The following day, no one died.", from Saramago's Death with Interrruptions. Wonderful book.
I definitely don't propose we ban research. Genetic modification is the future in many areas. But patenting the genes and being allowed to restrict the use of organisms containing those genes is lunacy. Especially at this point, where genetic code isn't actually being created, so much as it's being taken from on species and spliced into another. The equivalent of me taking paragraphs from different books, putting them into sections of another book, and claiming it to be my original work.

We live in a world where doctors can withhold the information on a patients death during a gene therapy treatment due to the genes being proprietary information. There have even been cases were doctors have patented specific genetic information from their patients, unbehest to them during treatments.

It's all a fine, fine line.

Ripple.js – A tiny foundation for building reactive views
A tiny foundation for building reactive views with plugins. It aims to have a similar API to Reactive, but allow composition of views, like React.

The major difference with other view libraries is that there are no globals used at all in ripple. Each view has it's own set of bindings and plugins. This makes composition of views really easy.

Views that are created with ripple can be composed within other views and reused. Data flows in a single direction and is kept in sync automatically.
That is the charitable way to describe Colin's suggestions. Another way to describe them is "well-aged", or "conservative".

Here are more modern alternatives to each of Colin's suggestions:

* Message encryption: AES-CTR+HMAC -> A fast native stream cipher (Salsa20) + polynomial MAC (Poly1305, VMAC).

* Standalone integrity checking: HMAC -> HMAC or SHA3.

* Hash: BLAKE2 or SHA3.

* Passwords: scrypt or, if not available, bcrypt.

* Public key encryption: ECDH + whatever you're using for message encryption, over Curve25519.

* Public key signatures: Deterministic ECDSA, EdDSA.

* Ephemeral key agreement: ECDH over Curve25519.

* Online backups: use Tarsnap.

This article puts a human touch on a human situation, from their point of view. As a volunteer firefighter I see more stuff than you normally would on average and it gives you a different perspective. For instance:

Before I got into this field, I always thought of firefighters, paramedics and doctors as magical superheroes that can fix anything. As long as you make it to their doorstep you'll be fine. This is not not always the case. the amount of people who are unsaveable would shock you. Even in the very best of care.

That's not a slight on firefighters, paramedics or doctors in the least bit, I'm just saying from statistics perspective there are way too many things out there that will kill you no matter what. They really are superheroes in the sense that they do extraordinary things every day and they always bring their A game. They do things you just wouldn't think possible because of how much they push themselves.

I've also seen what is described in the top article of this blog. When you see someone pass and you see just how much was done to save them. Even a 90+ year old person who at best would have a good year or two left, and I've seen doctors pull out all the stops and work just as hard as they would anyone else. The only difference is the patient is even more fragile at this stage. Life is life and they get it.

I've seen people work and struggle when it was very clear things are over. CPR that goes on long after the patient is past the point of no return. I've never seen anyone "throw in the towel" too early and I've seen people push and fight when everyone in the room knows what the outcome will be.

In short, everyone should read things like this and get a glimpse of this perspective. I don't know what you can take from it, but it sure will make you appreciate first responders and ER personnel more. At best it will make you appreciate life more.
and those who realize they have enough ignore the rich

If you only could. The problem is that in the US a great portion of taxes are locally raised and spent, and the way of dealing with poverty is to price the poor out of areas where they aren't wanted.

To get access to halfway decent schools you need to move to the suburbs, and what's available there in housing is hugely outsized. You cannot save on heating, cooling, cleaning and enclosed space, nevermind the commute, because that economic option does not exist. So you bite the bullet with everyone else and you cannot choose not to play the game.

Having lived in NZ for a couple of years working at Victoria University of Wellington, the other piece of the puzzle is NZ suffers from crippling brain drain: their best and brightest students immediately head over to Australia where they can make more money and use the exchange rate to pay off their student loan quicker.

My read is that kiwis tend to come back when they're ready to start a family, but during those vital 18-25 years when the entrepreneurial spirit is strongest, they're simply not in the country. They're elsewhere.

The kiwis I talk to that are in that demographic here at Google all seem to be want to go back to NZ, but only if the prospects are there, such as Google opening a real-deal engineering office. But it's hard to convince companies that that is a worthwhile venture when Australia and NZ have freedom of worker movement.

Without the population to lead NZ forward, and with no companies willing to invest to drag it forward, I don't think we'll ever see NZ be richer and more productive. But as other commenters have noticed, I think NZ is perfectly happy with that, because they're happy with their lot, which is something to be envied.

I think the key difference is in which side of the conversation between transmitter and receiver the intentionality is vested.

- Actors have no control over where messages come from. Actors have complete control over what other actors receive their messages.

- In a reactive model, a producer sends messages blindly, with no control over the receiver. The consumer chooses its sources specifically.

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right answer, but it is the impression I got after reading a paper on dataflow programming [1]. I'd be interested in whether anyone has any deep insights on the relative advantages of each model, and whether they're actually equivalent on some level.

American authorities flip out when reporters from a print newspaper take photographs from a public road of a tank in front of a tank manufacturing plant--something that is obviously on display to the public--for use as stock photos the next time the paper needs to run a related story.

This just shows that they are hypersensitive and irrational about photography of any kind, whether it has actual intelligence value or not. That makes me suspicious that they are hiding something from us, perhaps something they fear that the Russians might reveal to the American public. But that could be just my foil hat talking.

Mutually assured surveillance seems a less dangerous baseline than mutually assured destruction, anyway.
Elon has just confirmed [1] that they will be attempting to recover the first stage. This is the first flight with the landing leg module attached to the first stage. The landing legs will be deployed over sea for a soft landing in preparation for a land-based recovery.

I would disagree that "poor are decidedly disliked" here as a rule. There are plenty of "poor" that are accepted, liked and even esteemed. Think of the starving artists, musicians, olympic athletes, working class poor, the startup set, etc. There is dislike for the poor that resort to crime, thuggery, drugs etc. At least this is how I see it from my middle class perspective.
"page-break-inside: avoid" and "page-break-after" seem to work fairly reliably, as long as you aren't doing too much weird stuff with positioning, floats, etc.

Three major problems I've had with printing from HTML is
1) It seems that the different browsers have different default margins, and the outside margins aren't controllable from CSS
2) The javascript print dialog doesn't give any sort of feedback...it just blocks JS execution. There's no way to no if the user cancelled the print, etc.
3) Different browsers don't reliably resize things to fit on the page. Using percentages for anything (while maybe not recommended anyway) just doesn't work for printed CSS
