>In the case of QM versus GR we have the very weird situation where we have two theories that are logically incompatible with each other, so we know at least one of them must be wrong

nope. Incompatible are only stretches of the theories into the areas where conditions contradict basic assumptions of the theories.

QM assumes fixed space-time which we know isn't true, so the QM can be true only where the difference between fixed space-time and real one is negligeable, ie. small scale/local effects. (And even at the small scale, assumption of the fixed space-time may be very limiting - who knows, may be powerful forces at local level do "bad" things to space-time too and this would be an explanation for the things like non-separability of quarks or a for a lot of others "strange" effects observed at quantum level).

GR is about real, non-fixed space-time and disregards any forces/interactions other than gravitation. Thus it is not correct when applied at local scales where other interactions overpower gravitation.

Thus stretching GR into small scale just makes a wrong physical theory the same way as stretching QM into GR space makes for a wrong theory too.

Actually, the biggest deposits of CO2 on Earth are in the form of carbonate rocks. If that CO2 were to be released from the rock, we'd have about 90 atmospheres of pressure just from that alone, like on Venus. To the point where today CO2 is just a trace gas in the Earth's atmosphere.

Starting early in Earth's history more CO2 got dissolved in the primordial ocean and locked down than what got released by other processes such as volcanism or plate tectonics.
Since scrutinizer-ci took their interesting "PHP-analyser" private I've been looking for a better static analysis tool for PHP that I can contribute to. HPHPc is alright in HHVM but learning OCaml is slowing me down, so I'm definitely going to take a look at your compiler! Well done :)
Agree that i like the idea of a online PA, but there is too little info on the site, and the examples they give are rather unambitious. I expected to find something like odesk for small but very specific tasks.

There's 6TB of bandwidth built into this home rolled solution. That's going to cost at least $350 at cdn.net.
This is a fully open source project. And that, includes all the packaging and deployment tools involved and available (tons of options).

Big corps (and users which avoid smartphones, certain social networks, marketing campaigns, etc, like me), should develop their internal git mirrors, cpan mirror, build systems, etc. As usual.

Many developers reproduce the same issue with node, python, ruby etc. That does not remove LOVE from this beautiful framework.

I can state that the mojolicio.us "web development can be fun again" is true for me.

Just go for it, check yourself the docs and the source, hack, and judge by yourself.

We are talking about that, not about the lack of common sense of many developers, when the topic is about systems, security and operational tasks.

Perl apps can be deployed securely after auditing them. What knowledge do you lack about this defocus topic ?
And thus the path to Go2EE slowly starts....
I think you misspelled "40 years ago".

By 1994, GUIs were common on workstations, and hardware-based serial terminals were disappearing fast. OTOH, the command line as a UI paradigm is alive and well today and might well be around for another 20 or 40 years.

If you have an eduroam account (most likely by virtue of being a student, not necessarily of a UK uni -- my Warsaw University alumnus account works), then the LSE library is also a very nice place to hang around. Cheap on-site coffee, too. (Edit: probably not good for a startup though as it's harder to talk freely.)

A framework that can natively communicate with a browser via mechanisms like Comet or WebSockets. An example is when a new message is posted to an inbox on the server, and your browser immediately updates the message count without polling.

Non-realtime frameworks often have to resort to communicating with websockets over something like zeromq.
On the contrary, tmuir's theory of reddit is a fair description of most subreddits (maybe all subreddits) which become popular without having very strict and dedicated moderation.

It does not describe smaller niche subreddits, though, that's true. They still have their own unique personalities.

I think it has a fair claim to be called theory of reddit, because it seems like any subreddit can go downhill in that way if it becomes popular. They converge on a point of mediocrity.
This started out promising and then felt like it devolved to raw ideology at the end. "Financial overlords" and the NSA polluted something otherwise pretty neat.

The Problem of Mobile Phones in Restaurants
Just as with Java, if you keep the language simple then the complexity still has to go somewhere.
The problem with framework reviews is that they are mostly written by people that have used just that one (not surprising since it takes some time to become proficient in such things), and always the conclusion is, oh it is awesome.

I would be much more interested in a comparison with the alternatives, for example Mojolicious vs Catalyst, but apparently very few people are able to do that.

The best policy to achieve a consistent behavior from all programs for backspace, delete, Ctrl-H, etc. is the one used by the Debian project:

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9....

This was one of the things that convinced me to start using Debian more than 15 years ago. They, like no other Unix at the time, had looked really deeply into the problem and come up with a good configuration to best fit all programs and systems. I, as a system administrator who was familiar with this problem, was very impressed by their solution, and I deemed it better than the one I had (which I have since forgotten).

All you can ever do is invalidate one exact execution of the idea.

Absolutely agree with you and I wish the folks that teach lean would emphasize this more.

For every successful company, there are probably multiple teams that tried to test the same general idea only to conclude that it won't work.

Overall, I think lean start up movement does a great job of taking credit when it works out while not delving enough into all the people who gave up because the idea didn't validate itself according to the lean process...and yet another company with a similar idea made it work.
I'm thinking the same.

My brother works in the travel software industry (for a big player) and that market is an extremely hard nut to crack, unless you are coming at it with a boat load of contacts and money.

The big tour operators (I know this from the European side) are quite well tied into the bug boys contractually. They often will enforce sole-usage on hotels to prevent this kind of side market entry your parents have attempted. the hotels can be penalized or dropped from the operator's books, for simply offering rooms outside the tour operator.
I was under the impression that HN was more startup focused, rather than straight up open-source-without-monetary-goal.

In the US market every Zipcar has its name on the back to make identifying them easier, and if you're using the iPhone app you can see the license plate as well as details about the make and model.

Currently you can't tell the colour from the mobile app but it's a good idea. I've passed it along to the mobile team to see if it's feasible.

Not only that. They had an entire MP3 search engine!

There were also in the early years language issues, and coverage issues. Internet access in/out of China is absurdly, mind bendingly expensive, due partly to all the DPI hardware they insist sits at the border. This makes crawling China from outside very hard. Conversely it also makes crawling the rest of the internet from inside harder as well, but Chinese users mostly want local content so that's no big deal, necessarily.

China was tipping the playing field in lots of ways back then, there was lots of one-sided enforcement of very vague rules. It was pretty clear which way the winds were blowing there.

for those who don't get this: hoodwink'd[0][1] was this experiment/hack/art project by _why some years ago, which allowed implementing a parallel unified commenting system for the web.

It was super cool because you'd go to, say, hackernews or slashdot and if you were part of the network you'd get access to a different set of comments, but integrated in the website rather than as an external popup (individual sets of stylesheets+js had to be written for each website of course).

For example, here you'd get the blinking hood gif, and on click you'd see new comment threads appearing with red usernames.
Integration came through, iirc, a custom proxy server or a greasemonkey script.

It was super cool.

I have enough photovoltaic solar on my roof to provide all the electricity I need over the course of a year. I remain grid connected because the power from the roof rarely matches the demand during any given hour. Intermittency is a real issue that any realistic grid will need to take into account. Rather than the political posturing driven approach we seem to have today, what we really need is sober, clear eyed engineering and financing to solve this.

It was heartening to read about the VC funded fusion projects the other day.

That is not true.

If you expose an service based on AGPL licensed service, you have to make the source code available to the services that use it.

For example you could modify WordPress (which is GPL licensed), put it on your server and let it serve pages without providing your modified source code to anyone.

If WordPress was AGPL licensed you would have to provide your modified source code to anyone using the system.

This also effects services that use libraries that are AGPL licensed (like newer versions of iText), but not services, that use other services.

The point is AGPL only adds that if you consume it over the network, you have the right to the source code. If you use it as a network service, for your webapp, your webapp is the consumer.

MongoDB has the same licensing model, and nobody sued Foursquare for the source code, so I guess this is legally tested ;)
> Uber needs some superior authentication system for drivers; btle or wifi or flashing indicators on the phones themselves would be nice. Ultrasonic tones on microphone/speaker might work.
> I'm used to fearing kidnapping and extortion by drivers (Middle East, Thailand, etc.), but not so much in NYC.

Or just better education on the lo-fi authentication you're supposed to use: have the driver ask for your name. 'Are you rdl?'
There are certainly individual subreddits who've attempted such things, but what I've seen from that is that the line gets blurrier than I think people realize, and small content creators get stomped on as a result.

The Frogman is a good example here. He was banned from several of the bigggest subreddits for posting his own material, under the excuse that it was advertising/self-promotion because he technically makes money from his blog (never mind that he barely makes any and literally lives in his parent's basement). Meanwhile, regular redditors reposted his stuff routinely, often without even giving credit or reference. At one point, in retribution, moderators even started banning those after he started complaining about the weird double standard.

I think once you start manipulating what's allowed to appear, it creates an ugly and incestuous effect that will do more harm to reddit than help in terms of the community that actually keeps people coming there.

reddit already has a toxic reputation as the lesser evil to 4chan's greater evil in some parts of the internet, thanks in no small part to it giving voice repeatedly to some really ugly sides of human behavior, does it really need to add "arbitrary and incestuous gatekeepers" to that reputation too?
Amazing, I only recently learnt that Raven published the source of JK games. I loved those games. This engine remind me of OpenMW, which is an open sourced engine for Morrowind: https://openmw.org/en/
> Long term this will become a lot more popular both for drivers as well as for customers as they can both get more money.

As time goes on, it would be hard trying to find the right drivers though, and having to pay cash. If only there was a service that married you with drivers through a smartphone app...
The problem with XMPP rooms is that if you can connect to them with a chat client, people start using them like a chat client. Which is not necessarily what you want.

scam: "a dishonest scheme; a fraud."

Let's count the red flags:

- he's made claims of performance that are far in excess of what anyone else has managed with the same technology

- he's lied about the purpose of the kickstarter; originally, it was to cover PCB fabrication costs, now, it's to cover graphene capacitor costs

- he's consistently refused to produce any hard data to validate his claims

So it's actually two scams: snake oil, and a bait and switch. Classy.
Interesting, but the inaccurate obsession with Boole needs to go. If anything half the examples they cite as "Boolean" inference are more Bayesian. And what does the Voynich manuscript have to do with a surveillance dystopia? That ending is pretty weak.
Actually, that's too generous. If he was scammed himself, he doesn't seem averse to doing the same to his backers.
LCD Hacking Trick Could Make Virtual Reality More Real
True, but inertia and backwards compatibility is hell of an opponent. IPv6 turned 10 years old recently and we are still far away from universal deployment. TLS 1.2 only got more traction once BEAST - a proof of concept for a paper that was published years earlier - made some waves. And with PGP you have the additional problem that there is no standard way to find out which changes to the bases protocol the client of the recipient supports.

If we could ignore inertia and backwards compatibility we could collectively switch to some TextSecure style messaging over Tor with key distribution via DANE for universal end to end encryption with meta data protection. Alas, that is not how our world works…
I think from advertisers' point of view, a "real relationship" is one that involves a financial exchange.
Are you, me?
Distro packages are often a bit behind the official releases. I prefer to develop in the most recent version of a framework / library, as it generally makes things a bit more future proof.
I was actually very heavily involved in the Jedi Academy community for several years, though I'm not an OpenJK dev. I created what's currently by far the largest modding/community website for the game.

OpenJK is really, really neat. In between performance enhancements, security fixes, and all the other shininess, I think the devs are doing a great job at it. The community these days is small, but definitely still active, especially when you consider Jedi Academy was released in 2003. At the time of writing this comment, there are several hundred players ingame.

Hmm, if the community edition server is AGPL licensed, are they even allowed to have an enterprise edition that is not AGPL licensed? I suppose the enterprise edition is an altered version of the community edition, so can they be 'forced' to publish their changes?

Fairly useful reference. Nees a key for the colors. I had no idea what the dots meant.
I don't know much about erlang but I used to write node.js app and I still maintain some today.

I really like the new concept brought by Node.js. However I realised that most of the time I don't need/want to write asynchronous code which I found harder to test and grow than synchronous code.

Now Mojolicious is a non-blocking IO framework that simulate blocking IO by default. This means that with Mojo you can write code either with blocking or non-blocking IO. To do that you'll have to learn using the mojo::IOLoop which is less natural than node.js to do non blocking but does the job and got easier to use with the 5.0 release.

With node.js you don't have that choice, you're stuck writing application entirely asynchronous.
Definitely go if you can. I went in 2013. I wish somebody told me ahead of time how important / valuable the one-on-one sessions with Apple engineers are though.

Diving Deep into Mayhem
I can true that. I usually see a lot of Perl Devs, think that Perl as a language is not worth learning from scratch, and the framework is all there is to it.

As soon as you mention the outdated (indated by FCGI-mod_perl) CGI module .. you are thought to be living in the 90s. For production, I can agree partially with them, but for educational purposes, it twitches my nerve :/

Though, I like mojo over others due to its lean code.

Has been a while since I made that trip, but IIRC the ferries between Finland and Sweden give discounts if you have an Interrail ticket. And they're not that expensivr to begin with, at least if you don't have a car with you.

I'm now living in Berlin instead of Helsinki, and I take trains to go pretty much everywhere in Europe. When you factor in the time of getting from/to airport, security checks etc. it is often nearly as fast and much more comfortable. As I write this, I'm having lunch near the railway station before leaving for a conference in France. Usually I'd eat in the train but now I happened to have the time to spare...
Maybe too late to see this now but to answer your Q I'm at Edinburgh; IMO an ok university but not prestigious. Most EU PhDs are 3.5-4 years, I have a friend with dual US-UK citizenship that chose to do his PhD over here for this reason.

I agree wrt differences between similarly ranked institutions. I'd say similarly that the variance within groups at a top 5 school is greater than the variance between groups when compared with slightly lower ranking institutes.
Can reddit become monetizable? Some of the best online forums of the sort are not-for-profit. It's odd that there isn't yet a donation-supported open alternative of reddit, a-la wikipedia.
