I would clarify that the "paradox" of being fully human and fully divine is an apparent paradox, not an actual paradox. Most theologians I've come into contact with hold to Jesus' nature being the intersection of all divine traits and all human traits, allowing him to be both God and Man without contradiction.

The confusion I think lies in the ambiguity of the word "fully". Its a paradox if we take it to mean "100% of Jesus is human and 100% of Jesus if divine, resulting in a total of 200% Jesus." But if it is clarified as "Jesus possesses 100% of the qualifications required to be considered human and Jesus possesses 100% of the qualifications required to be considered divine," then the contradiction is gone.

> We did an experiment where we would 'grep the web' for you, basically run a regex over a multi-billion page crawl, give you the first 50 results for "free" and you could buy the complete set. I think we sold exactly one of those.

Sounds like you didn't advertise it right. I've been looking for a "grep the web" service for a while.

We're going to use https://builtwith.com/ to achieve that exact thing. It will cost me $295 : https://builtwith.com/plans

For that $295 I will get a list of all domains using a rival technology... a list of sales leads.

I'm still short of what I want to have... a prioritised list of sales leads.

So I will write my own scraper to go through those results and scrape every one of those so that I can pull some info from the HTML page to tell me how large those customers might be. I'm not aiming for the largest (easy to find, costly to win), nor the smallest (time consuming and pointless to win), but the median.

I would definitely pay for a "grep the web" that allowed me to match pages by text signatures in the HTML, and then extract part of the DOM as values, and return the list of "url + extracted values" for the matching hits.

I'd consider that to be worth similar amounts to what BuiltWith are chaging, but I'd add more and would go up to $500 assuming that the results come with the extracted values as a CSV file of some kinda and the quality and completeness of the report is high.

People will pay for "grep the web", especially if you sell it to them as something they know they really want: "sales leads".

In its day, Delicious was so great. I especially liked seeing what the rest of my "network" was bookmarking publicly. The UI was no-frills and it was perfect at that. As times changed, I moved on to pinboard.in then largely to storing locally and using Xmarks, to now relying just on Chrome's sync across all devices.

It's regrettable that Delicious didn't succeed in the hands Yahoo. At this stage, the owners would probably be best trying to sell to someone or something food-related.
There are a lot of unfortunate laws and cultural practices that make it challenging for American companies that run at scale to surface merit in the hiring process. There are also a lot of cultural factors that go back even to the 18th century that lead Americans (almost uniquely so in the Western countries) to discount the notion that skilled people really are much more capable than the drooling fellow that they picked up off the side of the street.

The temporary solution is to refuse to work for such companies and to compete with them until they go out of business, despite their capital advantages.
> However, C++ sometimes is used for those tasks, which boggles the mind.

That's because the people making such decisions are not the ones qualified to do so (see the Lisping at JPL article you linked to). Their logic is probably along the lines of "if it's good enough for industry, ..." -- that's not an ellipsis, it is literally as far as the thought probably went.

> How can contradictions be true? What’s all this talk of ineffability? This is all nonsense. The constructions I have described show how to make precise mathematical sense of the Buddhist views. This does not, of course, show that they are true. That’s a different matter. But it does show that these ideas can be made as logically rigorous and coherent as ideas can be.

No, they are nonsense. Nothing that claims that something can be true and false can be logically rigorous. To be logically rigorous means to be logical---and to be logical means to obey the law of non-contradiction.

Anyway, it's at least gross negligence for the author to write an article like this and then not explicitly declare that these ideas are nonsensical.

Infix languages are trivial to parse; undergrad CS students typically do it the same week that they learn about parsing prefix and postfix languages.

What actually makes lisps easy to parse is a near complete absence of syntax; particularly structures/constructs that require considerable effort to disambiguate.
> The user experience problem is a real one.

Not in my experience. Without fail the only people I've ever heard complain about UX of hybrid apps are other developers who know which signs to look for. Most people won't notice or won't care to notice so long as the app does what it's supposed to do.

After all, I've been hearing developers complain about Craiglist's poor UX for years and it hasn't seemed to affect them.
That would be vastly better.

If I wanted my death to be boring and efficient, I could do that without building a 500-ton suicide machine. This method requires some measure of spectacle, hoopla, and even a bit of ballyhoo. What I really want is for a kid to see me die and tell himself, "Now I want to be a terminal metastatic oncology patient when I grow up, because I will never in my whole existence see anything as awesome as that guy's crowning moment of self-euthanasia, unless I can also strap myself in to the very same harness and dare to dream of dreams beyond sleep." And wow, is that kid precocious, or what?
What would you say to a surprise .50 BMG in the back of the head from a few hundred yards away? It'd leave a bit more corpse, granted, but there wouldn't be much left of your head, which should satisfy the basic requirement, and it'd be a lot cheaper -- M33 ball goes for something like seven dollars a round, on average. Of course, you'd need to find someone with a suitable rifle to do the shooting, but you'd have even more trouble finding someone to do the same with an RPG or whatever.

I really wish you could get wifi only phones. The Samsung galaxy player was a good candidate a few years ago, but that's quite old now and doesn't appear to be a trend that continued.

A wifi only phone with a full size USB and a very small GSM thumb drive ... that would be workable. Also: fantasy.

OR: a normal phone with a GSM sim module that you could add/remove quickly, like a SD card - without opening the device.
I do have some medical training, and I'm inclined to agree with your suspicion that it doesn't actually work.

The "critical" portion only lasts a few seconds, up to a minute. Depending on the direction of the force, 10g for a minute would be close to the edge for untrained people but not expected to have long-lasting harmful effects in most cases.

There are several ways in which high g forces cause harm to humans. The article mentions blood flow, specifically applying the amount of acceleration necessary to stop oxygenated blood from reaching the brain. Completely stopping the flow of blood for 60 seconds will result in a loss of consciousness, but the designers of the coaster seem to be under the impression that achieving this even for a moment kills people. They're wrong. If normal blood flow is restored after 60 seconds of anoxia, no adverse effects are to be expected at all, not even in the short term. Of course statistically there will be cases where the heart enters one of several possible failure modes under these conditions (again mostly in humans with pre-existing health problems) and while I expect it to be rare among the healthy population, those people would indeed need immediate medical attention - but they too can be expected to make a full recovery if they receive it.

High g forces can also damage blood vessels due to simple overpressure, causing them to rupture. This will happen with body parts located in the direction of the force applied. In this design, this will be the lower extremities, where this damage - if it occurs - will be minimal. But if you suspended people "upside down", that would be another story. Overpressure in the blood vessels of the brain is a dangerous thing. Again, I'm not sure 10g for 60 seconds is enough, but I'd intuitively say if there was any way of inducing fatalities with this coaster that would be the way to go. Especially people with existing defects and weaknesses of the blood vessels in their brains would be most at risk, people with aneurisms for example.

Lastly, high g forces can cause tissue trauma due to compression or internal impact damage. 10g for 60 seconds would not be enough to cause that in healthy organs. But if the coaster's design was changed to 20 or 30 g, delivered over an extended period, injuries and fatalities due to organ trauma (including the brain) will occur.

So on final consideration: this roller coaster will cause people to pass out for up to a minute. However, this effect is completely reversible. In healthy people, no lasting damage is expected.

This is an unfortunate reality for people building Qt bindings. I've always hoped that a coalition of Haskell, Nimrod, D, Rust, Lua, C#, Objective C, and other languages with easy C interop could come together and build a well-engineered C interface to Qt that was easy to maintain.

There was QtC, but it fell apart a few years ago. There's also Smoke, but looking at an examples of its use[1], I can't help but think a well-designed C interface would be much easier to work with (disclaimer: I've never used Smoke).

Scraping is not necessarily a no-victim situation. Even today after this stuff has gotten cheaper, you're costing them bandwidth fees, and likely increasing their server storage and CPU fees if it's on a metered hosting service, which is quite likely nowadays. If you degrade their site's functionality, you may chase away paying customers.

We need not hypothesize crazy third-order effects; you are taking money out of their pockets by the act of scraping itself, independent of the question of the value of the content.

"What about Google? etc." - robots.txt-honoring scrapers that don't hammer the sites at least have a plausible claim to permission. Scrapers are quite likely to be ignoring the robots.txt.
Haha! That's great! I'm going to keep that in mind from now on.
The Apple App Store (which has been disclosed in earnings calls multiple years as only just barely in the black) handles your sales tax compliance for you (though the Google Play Store does not...), deals with refunds and complaints, isolates you from chargebacks (every customer that complains to their bank typically costs you an enforced $10-$20 per complaint in addition to the money), is handling your server distribution (fast bandwidth to send updates adds up for large applications that are updated often), provides licensing infrastructure (you don't need to build some kind of "enter your code" DRM system with a bunch of servers that have to be online: you just give your app to the market and wash your hands of the problem; this is also often much easier when a user trades his device in due to a hardware issue: that's the market's problem), and is usually subsidizing a large population of free software that also accumulates complaints and infrastructure costs (and it is that large catalog of free stuff that often is causing your customers to have this experience installed anyway)... I run an app market, we charge 30% and end up with a fraction of that; I've had people who were additionally doing their own payment processing (we run an open ecosystem, and these people were not losing the distribution benefits of my market) stop and transfer all their existing license records to me, because I was simply providing them a more solid and convenient payment experience: they got to concentrate on building their app, and the price difference between their true costs of running this and what I was better spent improving their product and marketing efforts. Comparing to a real estate agent is really off, by the way, because the costs of doing transactions in hundreds of thousands of dollars is fundamentally different than doing transactions on a $1. The "good rates" (so throwing companies like Stripe out the door, which would cost $0.33 upfront) are still going to run you 10% the transaction cost, and the chargeback on a $1000 purchase is still going to cost the same $10-$20.

I would say the argument comes down to how you value life. Those most opposed to euthanasia are likely to hold the belief that all human life is equally valuable, and there is no such thing as a life not worth living, and to support euthanasia and assist someone in actively taking his or her life, is to abet them in the mistaken belief that their life is not worth living.

The typical response to this is that euthanasia opponents are living in a dreamworld, and lying to themselves. It is obvious at its face that some lives are not worth living, and to think otherwise is foolish.

On the other hand, the euthanasia opponent can reasonably ask how can we both support euthanasia and have suicide prevention hotlines? The existence of both seems to indicate that our societal response to an eagerness to die, rather than being about individual choice, is more about encouraging cultural norms about who is to be valued.

I worked at a software testing firm as a summer job one year while I was still at university. A few of the guys at the firm were refugees from game testing gigs, and they universally said it sucked. So this doesn't surprise me. Their experiences sounded pretty bad at the time, being that at this "superior" job, we worked standing up in a warehouse. Not the greatest working conditions unless you think it's cool enough to be surrounded by computers of every sort.

I was really impressed by the guys who had been there for a while--they actually understood what they were doing, like the author of the linked article. If they looked over your shoulder for even a few seconds, it felt like you learned something.

One day the higher-ups noticed that I knew how to use a particular kind of software and within an hour I had a raise and a desk inside an air-conditioned office. No chance of doing warehouse work anymore. It was like the feeling you get when you go from a parking garage into a hotel lobby. That put the testing conditions into stark relief--it wasn't really as fun or interesting as I thought it would be. Putting it on my resume afterwards attracted some really boring job offers. But lots of places want cheap QA.

The people on top at the testing firm had it pretty much figured out. If their clients wanted to pay for really high-quality testing, they could do that. The resources are there. On the other hand, if they are just getting their software out the door, they can pay weak rates for summer job kids, and tell their developers to yell and scream until they get the more interesting-sounding bugs narrowed down to something actionable. I remember a few irritated emails: "I don't really care that the button is out of alignment," or "I'm not paying for grammar advice," etc. My bad, buddy. Why don't you talk to management about the conditions of your testing contract, and they'll get one of those veterans on the job? So yeah, the customers got what they paid for, too.
