It's not the same experience, nothing can be. But I felt what you describe. Empty. Numb, but distraught at the same time. Happy that they were at peace and horrible that I felt that way.

New things fill up some of the void, but there are still days where I want to curl up in a ball and just stop for awhile.

You've been emotionally wounded. You'll heal. There will be scar tissue, and it will take a long time, but eventually there will be days where all you think about is the good memories and not the bad.

I have to add an amusing quote from John Kenneth Galbraith about the sky-high stock prices before the crash of 1929:

By far the greatest force for sobriety was the New York Times. Under the guidance of the veteran Alexander Dana Noyes, its financial page was all but immune to the blandishments of the New Era. A regular reader could not doubt that a day of reckoning was expected. Also, on several occasions it reported, much too prematurely, that the day of reckoning had arrived.

Indeed the temporary breaks in the market which preceded the crash were a serious trial for those who had declined fantasy. Early in 1928, in June, in December, and in Februrary and March of 1929 it seemed that the end had come. On various of these occasions the [New York] Times happily reported the return to reality. And then the market took flight again. Only a durable sense of doom could survive such discouragement. The time was coming when the optimists would reap a rich harvest of discredit. But is has long since been forgotten that for many months those who resisted reassurance were similarly, if less permantently, discredited. To say that the Times, when the real crash came, reported the event with jubilation would be an exaggeration. Nevertheless, it coverted it with an unmistakable absence of sorrow

Shipping problems are common enough that two instances close in time does not say anything about either seller, and even if one is bad is does not mean the other is.

Only over the last month I've have one package I ordered from an Amazon Marketplace seller get lost... by Amazon Logistics (first time ever I've seen Amazon's tracking show "package lost by carrier"), and another, from a Kickstarter project, stuck in DHL-limbo for 3 weeks - neither problem had anything to do with the sellers.

that's pretty awesome. I'm paying one of these accounting cloud services about EUR 600/year. They are ok but they only have a SOAP API to get the data in and I don't want to mess around with that. So I end up preparing all my accounting data in Excel which is mostly automated but it does make me wonder why I'm paying them EUR 600/year in the first place...
glad you link it!
Well emacs last stable was March 11, 2013.
I use emacs on my headless servers and it's perfect but if you really want to work with it you loose time.
Take any big project you want to open a file from emacs you have to know the exact path, with atom (and sublime text) you just type the name and you get suggestions. Plus you can still use emacs shortcuts if you want.
Yeah emacs is good and useful but it's almost 50 years old it's like telling us "why would you want a nexus when the 3310 already exists?".
The big problem there is the telemetry. Make it semi autonomous - fly to target at 500', then dive straight down and detonate.

I'm fairly confident I could put together an aircraft that could travel 20km with a 3km payload and self-destruct at the destination for less than $1k.

> Given the tremendous value of an engineering degree, especially as a guaranteed high level of income, it makes sense practically minded managers would prefer such a safety net.

Practical experience (of a practicing engineer) shows that the value of an engineering degree outweighs that of one's work only in the first couple of months, or even weeks, on a job. The skills of incompetent engineers are in significantly less demand than that of incompetent managers (sadly). Unlike an MBA, the engineering diploma isn't worth the paper it's written on the moment people realize you're clueless. It's not a very good safety net :-).
There are already several people working on collective autonomous UAVs. Example: http://www.nature.com/news/autonomous-drones-flock-like-bird...

Who knows how well it would go over? I would be pleased to pay a metered rate, provided that the metering was standardized and easy to understand - like the electrical meter outside my home - and the pricing was fair. I would also expect there to be no speed tiers; everyone using a service gets the same nominal speed. I would not be interested in purchasing e.g. bandwidth blocks with f-you overage fees like what we used to have (still have? I don't do mobile data) with mobile carriers. That, I agree, would not go over well.

I think that the real problem is not perceived acceptance by customers, but that moving to metered billing makes the service look more like a utility. If I were running an ISP I would want to do everything I could to keep people from equating my service with water or electricity.

In my opinion, automatic summarization by abstraction. There are lots of automatic summarization algorithm that does extraction like TextTeaser (https://github.com/MojoJolo/textteaser). I think they do the job well but it doesn't have a realistic feel in it. To achieve it, I think automatic summarization by abstraction is the way to go. It almost mimics how humans summarized text. But I think there is still no algorithm that can really perform abstraction well.

I'm looking to try it in the near future. With a good training data, I'm looking into using genetic algorithm eventually evolving the text into an almost human summary. I'm excited for this!

I do try and make sure that HsQML works on Windows and MacOS in addition to Linux. Although, I admit I haven't tried MacOS 10.9 as my Mac is still running 10.8.

I don't think I've ever been contacted concerning issues with Windows or MacOS, which is probably indictative of the size of the user base combined with probability of any one person deciding to go to the effort. On the other hand, I have fixed genuine build failures for Linux users because the platform is diverse enough that it "worked on my system" but not theirs.

In any case, my contact details are on the HsQML Hackage page. If you'd like to send me the error message you're seeing, I'd be happy to try and help you get it working.

I never bothered with Keep as it seemed like overkill for 99% of the time.

Solaris deposed as US drone-ware, replaced by Linux
Well I agree to a point but I've been told specifically from some recruiters that It's because I don't have a BS. I honestly think if I had a BS from ITT I would be considered though it would certainly not hold the weight that a real BS would. But there is no way I'm giving that company any more of my money. The funny thing is I have about 10 years of experience now and currently work for IBM (which can't look too bad on a resume).
Conversely, I've found the answers to be less and less helpful and more rude. Just yesterday I asked a question as I thought my web server was spawning a new port for each request. The response was:

"You are just wrong. There is no port shown in the URLs as the slash after the domain."

He was right, but what is with the need to phrase it that way?
Yep. I wish my parents and I would have understood that but we didn't. Although I can't say that I'm doing bad. I just think that I would be doing better if I had a 4 year university or even community college degree. Plus I would have saved money vs a 2 year "degree".

Spotify Philippines is super cheap. But I didn't realized how cheap it really is until I saw the site. I think they just launched last month with a really low price. Spotify Premium here in PH only costs 129 pesos[1]. How cheap is it?

Today, $1 = P44.28 so P129 is just $2.91.

Of course it was adjusted with the market value here in PH. It was really a good deal. They also partnered with the telcos here to boost their presence. And I think, they don't have much competition here in PH.

And if I couldn't lay hands on it, I don't know that it would harm me, and perhaps not society.

I find it so sad that a medical breakthrough against cancer still seems so utterly distant.

The pessimist in me fears that a cure for cancer is so remote because our capitalist society does not value finding a cure, rather treating it's woes as a vastly more profitable business.

The optimist in me thinks that there are some scientists out there working for big pharma who value a reduction in suffering over profits.

"The GPL says nothing about people contributing back financially"

That's kind of the point, if you own the source, you can license it as GPL for the general public or anyone else willing to participate in the ecosystem (aka other GPL compatible projects), or for a modest $100K fee per year I'll license the same code to you under whatever crazy license you like just for your company.

"Only the copyright holders have standing to sue."

See above, if you're the copyright holder, you can sell a "special" license to special buyers.

If you've ever wondered why some GPL projects are "weird" about demanding patches will not be accepted unless you reassign your copyright for those patches to the project, well, now you know.

Its only fair after all. Either you'll contribute to the ecosystem by donating your source like we did, or you'll contribute to the ecosystem with a fat stack of cash, but either way, no freeloading bums.

Can you elaborate on why you think it is glacial or what you mean by that?

Is it too slow as your child comments suggest because of the used web technics?

Or are you missing important features? Couldn't they be added as plugins? Maybe such plugins were already made.

Or is it the overall design? What's bad about it?
Perhaps we need to take a second look at where the "lambasting" first took place. It was well, well before this recent OpenSSL incident.

For many years now, the security community taken as a whole has very vocally stated, "Never roll your own crypto!", and been highly critical of anyone who has attempted to do so without the security community's blessing.

For many programmers, maybe that is good advice. They probably shouldn't try to design their own schemes, and probably shouldn't try to build them, either.

But I think this attitude has also driven away a lot of very talented programmers who perhaps could have caught an issue like this much earlier on, or perhaps even avoided it in the first place.

So I believe it's misleading for you to portray the users of OpenSSL as somehow being responsible, especially given how much effort the security community has generally put forth toward discouraging more direct participation from these users.

The security community took a holier-than-thou attitude for a long time. It has now been shown that they aren't necessarily any better at avoiding critical and very harmful bugs in their code, however. So of course people will call them out. And there's not a thing wrong with doing so.

MyHDL is implemented as a minimalistic pure Python library, which basically means that you can use Python features for modeling - pretty powerful. In addition, it supports conversion of a language subset, so that you can also use it as a synthesizable RTL language. The latter feature is absent from SystemC.

I don't know, i've been working with VHDL for 5 years and i don't see how this could be useful.

Usually we first develop our algorithms using fixed point math at Matlab, which is a piece of cake.

After doing this, developing our VHDL based on Matlab implementation is very straight forward.

Python language isn't a very common knowledge for people developing hardware, so they really need to learn a complete new language made to another domain (software) in order to do the same thing!

VHDL/Verilog has been used for 30 years and in my opinion will continue to be used for many mores, Python's language structure just doesn't have what's needed to the hardware domain.

I see myself wasting a lot of time having to teach our old hardware guys Python and how to think in terms of RTL with a new Language. That's why i didn't try to switch.

Remember, most of the engineers working with hardware come from EE background, not CS. They are more familliar with Schematics than C.
It is true that big phones are popular here in Korea. It is not uncommon to have more than an hour in public transport to get to work, two hours happens quite frequently as well. Some people even have a telscope antenna for tv reception in their phones.

Using the telephone as an entertainment device on long commutes doesnt explain it all though. I think there is a small part status symbol in screen size, and the fact that korean phone makers have few other ideas in what to improve in their next top of the line model.
