I'm really stoked about neovim. I hadn't really thought about it, but it'd be interesting to really go through all the substantial efforts to fork/clone/refactor vim and compare/contrast their primary goals and vision with neovim.

Might be fun to do some light reading on it tonight

This case has more to do with the 4th amendment which is part of the Bill of Rights.
Well, Valve already has ToGL, a DirectX2OpenGL abstraction layer... so that is already happening. Also, SteamOS (and Steam on Linux) now has low latency Streaming from your Windows pc to your Linux PC, SteamOS/SteamBox on your TV, etc.

So, in large part, just about all games are now playable on Linux, and more are coming as developers re-release games on Linux, or as many big AAA studios have committed to releasing all future games on linux as well (Crytek, Valve, Unreal, Firaxis Game, etc etc... there are a lot and more coming!)

I don't see why food production should be limited to sunlight: we're likely going to have fusion power before we hit any kind of real food cap (ie, limit on growing rather than hunger based on poverty or distribution problems).

Why not grow large tanks of GMO algae with fusion power?

I worry that this color scheme is very hard to maintain. It's a very opinionated color and heavy color scheme rather than a more generic supporting color-scheme.

Ah, yes, mobile phone plans, where a multi-hundred pound phone is free++. Another prime example of a market exploiting the trust/ignorance of consumers.

++ Included phone is free as long as you commit to spending far more than any normal person's call and data charges with the network you contract with. Minimum period 2 years. Early exit fees apply. Call charges and other fees may be increased during the term of your contract. Phone will be unlocked on request at the end of your contract period subject to additional fee. Ts & Cs apply, but for some reason the normal comparative disclosure obligations for companies offering other financial services don't.
Comcast does that on their password reset pages. E.g., go to https://login.comcast.net/myaccount/reset, type in "foo", and click "Next."

GMail is often trumpeted as great example of a clean, well-designed web app, but I find it downright messy, complicated and unnecessarily simplistic. Everytime I need to do something simple like forwarding or adding a rule for deleting emails, I have to waste a good 10 minutes digging through that horribly designed settings menu. And even the main screen isn't that good, for example, there's no way to delete every email from a given contact, or at least not an obvious one. I try to use GMail as little as I can, because every time I do it's a real nightmare.
Interesting choice of example, as it happens there is in fact a "printer registry", where documents can be traced back to the device that produced them: https://w2.eff.org/Privacy/printers/docucolor/

You misunderstand. I am defining "free will" as the property that makes people moral agents --- ie. able to do otherwise in such a way that features in (some peoples') moral judgements. I am not claiming that we in fact possess this property (I think that's an open question).

My point is that all conceivable systems of human morality are equally incapable of distinguishing between humans that possess "the property that makes them moral agents" and those that do not. If the universe is deterministic, then human morality is just another link in the chain. Morality cannot address the fundamental nature of our choices because it exists in a system where the only available input are the consequences of and the perceived motivations for human behaviors. Hitler didn't accidentally slaughter European Jews, his hateful feelings and aspirations for power drove him to towards those actions, even if he didn't choose to be hateful and power hungry. The state of determinism does not modify the criteria for moral judgement.

Imagine you're trying to understand a codebase with as much legacy baggage as human thought. You do so by identifying modules, finding out what depends on each one and what it depends on, testing and later maybe improving on it, or discarding it. Free will is one of those modules and before we try to 'fix' it, we need to know what it does.

In that analogy, I don't think you can describe free will as a module, contemplating free will is more like asking "is the x86 instruction set etched into the processor or is there a homunculus living in the chip that reads incoming instructions and executes them appropriately". The answer to that question has no bearing on whether or not we judge the "human thought program" to be malware (e.g. for corrupting the memory space of another program), what we do is first decide "what was the intention of this program?" and then assess if the memory corruption is a bug or the program's intentionally destructive payload. The absolute nature of the instruction execution mechanism doesn't really matter with regard to how we form judgments about which programs we can all agree are damaging to benign programs and thus a threat to the stability of the system as a whole.

The main thriving product of the 21st century American economy is Stock of publicly traded US companies. The stock market is largely decoupled from economic reality. As long as the total market cap of all US companies is going up (which was the case in Q1), there is a "recovery". The settlement between this recovery and the real economic decline will only occur around 2040, when US dollar is debased and finally ceases to serve as the world reserve currency. Feel free to downvote.
Part of this slowdown in consumer spending also has to do with the tightening of credit as well, making it more difficult for people without means to spend. In my opinion this is a great thing. When people are backed against a wall because they have no other way to pay for their livelihood than their salary, they're not going to be ok with stagnant wages and companies low balling them.

Bring on the pain, I say. Real growth comes from companies investing in their workforce, not people drowning themselves in debt.

Put another way: it used to be that you could buy a house for the equivalent of a year's salary. Now it seems most houses are about 5-6x the average salary of a given area. If that were still the case today, most Bay Area residents should be making near 1 mil/year or houses here should be closer to about $150-200k, more likely the latter since credit is primarily the reason for the inflated cost.
The "thinking" mind is one of the simplest parts of the brain. Ironically, what philosophers call the Hard Problem of Consciousness is much easier than the "easy" problem. The mechanisms by which we perceive the world are vastly more complex than the mechanisms by which we process and store our perceptions, and those parts of the brain have been evolving for hundreds of millions of years. The sheer amount of optimization is what makes it so hard to replicate. We can make artificial systems that outperform tiny invertebrates, but we still have a way to go. Fortunately, our rate of progress is rapidly accelerating, so I'm still confident we'll be able to figure it out in the next few decades.

Aereo is logically the same as a cable company. Cable companies license their content.
Not anymore than I'm driving through my driver. Aereo controls what gets recorded, not the user. They're not an agnostic tool that can be used for any purpose, like a VCR.
> It's just for one JS engine among several

If you are writing code for nodejs, none of the other engines are relevant. If the overwhelming majority of your users are using chrome, then v8-specific optimizations aren't a bad idea.

On the issue of the list, most of the guidelines here apply here and in every other engine. For example, I doubt a future JS engine can optimize `arguments` abuse while preserving ES5 semantics.
I like this description. I don't know that you need to explain hashing to laymen, though. Hand-waving is acceptable when communicating to people who aren't skeptics (laymen). If they're really interested in fact-checking you, they can do so on their own time, or you can provide links to detailed explanations.

"It is possible to store passwords in a way that the website cannot see your password, but can still verify that a password entered by you checks out." (trust us, after all you're trusting that we know what we're talking about by reading this stuff)
Go Priceonomics! I really enjoy their approach to journalism.
I think this is easier than it sounds. To a layman, when they type in their password, they are not thinking about how it would be implemented. The idea that "oh, somebody is doing a string compare against a password in the database" is not something that would enter their mind. That is baggage that software developers may have, but ordinary people have not been primed in that way.

Ordinary people are going to be thinking about a key in a lock. Does the lock on your house store the key inside? Maybe in some kind of information-theoretic sense but in the ordinary meaning of the word, no, it has a representation (that may not even be sufficiently specific to recover your key exactly). And if you lose your key you don't break into the lock to recover it--you call a locksmith to replace the lock, and get new keys.

That right there is an intuitive understanding of both hashing and good security principles that goes surprisingly far.
The article's largest complaint is not being able to read one (1) of the two (2) words in the captcha challenge.

ReCaptcha only requires one (1) out of two (2) words to be correct in the challenge.

It presents one known-by-the-system-word, and one not-known word. If you get the known word correct (the easier of the two to read) then it passes the challenge.

ReCaptcha then pools the answers for the second not-known word and after pooling thousands (or more) responses, then that word becomes "known" based on the average answers (and then that word is "digitized" and used by google maps, or ebooks, etc).

And for those wondering, I find it easiest to read captcha's by just looking at the letters by shape.

Again, it's important to note, you only have to get one of the two words correct to pass the challenge. So.. probably 99% of the above list would pass.
No, they don't. Their data crawling business is a pivot as well so it explains nothing about the former pricing service.
They aren't any color schemes that they show... They show some examples and give advice on how to make your apps and sites aesthetically pleasing. They give you a pallet of colors [http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html] that should be considered. This isn't a design framework....
The fake praise at the top is a great touch. All the reviews on amazon are 5 stars, too.
Aereo controls what gets recorded, TiVo (the company) doesn't. They're not selling an agnostic tool, they're selling the recording of a particular set of channels.
Weather and botched implementation of the healthcare exchanges probably also played a part in that. But for whatever reason seems the increase in healthcare spending will be delayed for a quarter or two.

Psychologists in the Dark Time did experiments that showed people couldn't read ALL CAPITAL LETTERS as easily as they could read lowercase. From that, in a wild leap of imagination, they concluded that lowercase letters were easier to read than capitals.

Unsurprisingly, that was garbage. Later psychologists easily documented that the reason test subjects read lowercase text faster was because they were used to it -- the advantage of lowercase quickly erodes as the subjects gain practice reading capitalized text.

What I'm saying is, this problem:

> I am so used to reading Urdu in Nastaliq that I cannot read properly in Naskh

is imaginary, not real.

> The "people of Pakistan" are not a monolith. So some of them want Arabization and some do not and some want Westernization and so forth.

Note how I summarized you as saying "current Pakistanis (overall) want to Arabize". Who's winning? If you're angry about being on the losing side, whining about ugly fonts is misplaced. Whine about the thing you're actually upset about.
There's webvisum and Captcha Monster. Captcha Monster is like $5 per 1000 captchas or something. Not sure about webvisum.

Sounds like a great start for a dystopian sci-fi novel. Just imagine the effect it will have on our social habits when we start avoiding people that our Google Lens HUD marks as non-trusted.

The job salaries are US-wide median. Many computer science and data science jobs are in large costal cities where the cost of living is higher, so these salary figures are more in line with what you'd get in SF or NY.
Outside Django, if you're using Python, there's no excuse to not use passlib[0] whose cryptcontext object[1] handles this situation fantastically: create a cryptcontext with all the hash types you accept as input, and put any "old" hash in the `deprecated` list (or just set `deprecated=['auto']` in 1.6, it'll deprecate any non-default hash — the default hash is the first of the list, or the one passed as the `default` parameter). Then you can just use the relevant method to know that the authentication was successful and you should update the in-db hash:

hash = CryptContext(
# upgrading from an md5_crypted system
["sha256_crypt", "md5_crypt"],
deprecated=['auto'])

# in auth code
valid, updated = hash.verify_and_update(password, current_hash)
if not valid:
# error out
if updated is not None:
# updated is the new hash to set in database

What I am still wondering is 1) does there remain any possibility to set up such a service so that it could reasonably be called a "long antenna cord" (which part of the Aereo solution violates that?) and 2) does the special nature of broadcast content vis-a-vis public airwaves, etc, have much of an impact on the situation?

This non-lawyer feels that Aereo might have mis-stepped by 1) not going with a tighter "we are a long antenna cable" approach and 2) trying to scare everyone into thinking a ruling against it would somehow stifle mostly unnrelated cloud innovation.

The funny thing is that consumption is actually historically very, very high:

http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/personal-savin...

Savings rate, now: 4%

Pre stock-bubble average: 8%

edit: "Personal Savings in the United States increased to 4 percent in April of 2014 from 3.60 percent in March of 2014. Personal Savings in the United States averaged 6.82 Percent from 1959 until 2014, reaching an all time high of 14.60 Percent in May of 1975 and a record low of 0.80 Percent in April of 2005."
it's interesting but two things come to mind. Viewing it on this site makes it seem like it's great, but what about in context? If i came across that, I'm forced to think more than a capthca, just since it's so different and unexpected (maybe that goes away if it's very widespread). Also, it looks like an annoying banner ad game from orbitz or something of years back - that might make me avoid it, ignore or just not trust it.
Yes, I know, but Urdu written in devanagari isn't called "Urdu", it's called "Hindi". The only thing reifying "Urdu" at all is the choice to make a cultural affiliation with the Arab world.

The Go spec has always indicated that package import paths are opaque strings, and that the semantics of interpreting those paths is performed by the go tool.

That said, transforming the package import path into a half-assed file system query language slash dependency management solution is a source of frustration for a problem that has been elegantly solved by DNS.

I would love if the Go team redefined package import paths as strings to be resolved by go-dns -- an imaginary package name resolution tool which looks up package imports by resolving paths via records stored in package, workspace, and upstream "nameservers".

Or, you know, use Godeps.
You're mixing up originality with novelty. Landscapes might seem like a boring subject to you, but the originality of a landscape painting lies in the choice of perspective (both spatial and temporal), the choice of framing, the choice of color palette, kind of brushwork and so on. Two works can treat the same subject but be significantly different.

I think most people here would agree with that.

But getting a true measure of the ability of the US economy to create a comfortable life for as many people as possible also needs to take a very hard look at military spending and the share of the manufacturing economy that goes into actual and potential destruction of capital. Are those police rifles and APCs "economic output?"

When the Soviet Empire was stripped of an outsize military and internal security apparatus, what was left was a GDP the size of Italy.

So it cuts both ways: Health care deflation is probably good, and calls for a higher quality of life number. But that monstrous security state we are dragging around also should get moved to the negative column.
I have.

The article's largest complaint is not being able to read one (1) of the two (2) words in the captcha challenge.

I was pointing out, that this complaint is not valid since reCaptcha (where all of the article's screenshots are from) only requires one of the 2 words to be correct.

Not sure that this is true from a technical level, but from a customer level, I actually choose the shows to be recorded in a similar fashion that I would use TiVo. Aereo only records what you schedule to be record when it comes to their DVR portion of the service.

The logic of the ruling is that Aereo, if you looked at it as a black box, was essentially acting as a cable company. The internal workings of its technology aren't as important as the actual functionality being provided.
