This is actually a tough question.

The only part of my inbox that I consider as my inbox is "Important and Unread", this currently has 30 emails. When an email is marked as read, I consider it archived, but it's technically still in my inbox.

Then there's the rest of my inbox (the unread part), which didn't make it through Gmail's algorithms for importantness. This probably has thousands of emails.

Then there are all the folders and filters which are also technically part of my inbox, but email that goes straight there never makes it into what I practically consider my inbox. So I have no idea how many there are. A casual glance tells me they contain between 500 and 2000 emails each. As far as I'm concerned these emails don't exist.

So! My technically inbox contains about 7gigs of email as per what Gmail tells me. My actual inbox contains 30.

What do I click on the poll?
This space is not easy to penetrate. VCs are not interested because there is no easy short term money in it. Large companies are not interested because they would like something with market traction (impressive prototype stage) to buy. Developers who are in this space know well that this requires way more money than you can raise from Kickstarter.
It would be great if all of the people who posted on this page did a google hangout and joined hands (or at least a subset). I think this is bigger than any of these projects individually. Succeeding in this space means something as big as Google, Facebook and Apple. If you are interested in the hangout idea and would like to meet up with other similar project founders (or like minded people), perhaps you can drop me a message (with your email) and we can get started?

Side note: this is the first time I've heard Simpson's paradox explained intuitively.
There will always be non-expert programmers of many languages. Avoiding language-specific constructs will not solve the issue.

As far as portability is concerned (if you port software by hand a lot, for example), this is indeed an issue; but if you work with people who write python code, you might as well use everything in your toolbox.
But /dev/random has the additional constraint that it will stop outputting if that PRNG hasn't been reseeded in [some reasonable amount of time/output bits]. So you are guaranteed to get bits that have come from a recently-seeded PRNG, rather than any old PRNG. I have had this argument on here before and the conclusion was that it's not a real issue, but I think this is what the parent poster is talking about.

EDIT: Thanks for the clarification tptacek. I don't mean to disagree -- in fact it was you who explained this to me last time as well.

> Meier consciously skated away from the fact that colonials enslaved and exterminated other human beings in order to sell a game,

I don't agree. Colonization as a game clearly shows there were different methods to colonize the new Land based on the nations' strategies. The French, for example, were rarely known to exterminate locals, on the contrary usually forged alliances and friendship with local populations. That's what you see as well in "The Last Mohican": french colons being very close to Indians, and there are many sources to confirm that point. So Colonization was not all done the Spanish way, and most of the deaths the locals endured came from viral infections spreading in non-immunized populations and certainly not slavery or battle. There were reports from Spaniards entering cities in south-America, expecting resistance but instead finding most of the people dying from infections.

I wonder about one statement in the article: he says that Sudoku is NP-hard. I wonder about this since Peter Norvig has written a Sudoku solver:

http://norvig.com/sudoku.html

Of course, this solver is for the standard Sudoku game on a 9 x 9 grid. Perhaps the claim in the article refers to "Sudoku" in the sense of the generalized problem of solving n x n Sudoku, for any n?

I prefer SQLAlchemy, but it definitely has just as much overhead as django's ORM. This is just a microbenchmark, but notice how when frameworks are making raw DB queries they stomp the ones using ORM:

http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r9&hw=i7...

Looking at only python frameworks using ORM, Flask with SQLA hits 85% of the requests/sec of Django using pypy, and only 73% on stock python. Django has decently lower latency as well (450ms django, 550ms flask pypy, 600ms flask stock python):

http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r9&hw=i7...

Really, if performance matters at all and you want an ORM use Java. The fastest python solution using an ORM is a tenth as fast as the Java solutions, with literally 10x the latency. :P Flask making raw db queries gets within 2x of this, as does bottle.

All of your comments keep ignoring or misunderstanding what peering is. It is supposed to be roughly equal data traffic for both sides. Once it is lopsided in one direction, it is no longer peering.

It doesn't matter who requested what, the fact that L3 traffic is consuming a majority of the bandwidth now is the issue, and Verizon wants L3 to pay to fix that.

Slight nit with title: Monad Transformers can be used to model exceptions, but are more general - really they are a way to compose monads on a per-type basis (because all monads do not compose together automatically "for free" like functions or Functors).

Well, why are movies horizontally oriented? Why is the screen rectangular at all, and not square? Why were wide-screen movies such a big deal when they came out? Obviously it's because filling the viewer's visual field creates a more intense, immersive effect; engaging more of your peripheral vision makes you feel more like being there.

Vertical-format video has the opposite effect: you might call it anti-immersive. It boxes the subject up in an intrusive frame and makes you feel like you're looking through a hallway or some other obstruction.

Probably referring to the definition, not the difficulty.
The solver doesn't obviously negate the puzzle's NP-completeness. It first reduces the solution space, then starts brute-forcing what's left. I don't have a proof on hand, but that just smells nonpolynomial.

You could argue that, if we consider "Sudoku" to be the instance of the puzzle where n=9, then the puzzle isn't NP-hard because it has the constant-time solution of trying all 6.67e21 solutions, but the result is so uninteresting that it's understood that the author means the more general problem.
its easy to construct a Sudoku that only has a few numbers in it, and such you have to try filling it in many times before discovering a contradiction. Puzzle authors know this is not fun so the ones used for entertainment avoid being pathological.

There needs to be an easy way to search for existing logos by image similarity... the USPTO has an extensive categorisation method for trademarks ( http://tess2.uspto.gov/tmdb/dscm/index.htm ) but what's really needed is something more visual.

To add to tptacek's excellent comment, it's important to remember that some of the characteristics of /dev/random and /dev/urandom discussed here only apply to Linux; not other operating systems such as Solaris:

I don't agree with you. Unless your mail volume is too small. In my work, sometimes I need to search some important mails long before.

It's less protection and more just avoiding aimless attacks.

The French certainly did, you're right, and Colonization even namedrops the coureurs de bois. But (as far as I can tell) there is not a single use of the word "Africa" in the game. The only mention of "slavery" that I can find in the game--which I have installed, because aside from its super problematic presentation of history it's a really great game--is in the little Colonopedia blurb about Bartolome de las Casas...where they then elide that he advocated enslaving Africans instead. (And, certainly, he later recanted that position. So say that too! But paint the whole picture.)

So, sure, you're right, #NotAllColonizers--but seriously, do you think that the ability to play in that way obviates the duty to actually present history as it, like, was, and not as will make your purchasers feel comfy?

The trick is to find a working bootstrapping strategy.

Our approach with sandstorm.io is to make sure it's easy to port existing open source apps. Even with just the platform we have now and the apps we're porting, I feel like Sandstorm is already a product useful enough to stand on its own. Crowdfunding (as we're doing; http://igg.me/at/sandstorm) can't pay for a revolution, but can pay for the MVP, which can then pay for the next iteration, and so on.

"Joining hands" sounds nice in theory but in practice more developers simply does not equal more productivity. At the early experimental stage, it's important to have many small teams iterating quickly on different approaches; a single large team will simply spend all its time arguing and will get nowhere (a lesson I have unfortunately learned the hard way). I am happy to see lots of people working on solutions to this problem because it makes it more likely that one of them will succeed. :)
This doesn't really have anything to do with ISP's.

Perhaps it cannot be ignored, but what should we do with that fact?

The problem with the line of reasoning is that, if left unqualified, it can be carried as far as justification for totalitarianism.

So, perhaps until a reasonable standard can be established, I wonder if ignoring that fact is our least bad option. If evil people continue to take advantage, then perhaps that would provide the incentive to quickly get us to court-testing, precedent, and the establishment of a standard. And it may be the only approach that errs on the side of rights preservation in general.

> But there is not a single use of the word "Africa" in the game.

OK, I'll grant you that, but at the same time, massive slavery scale occurred mainly after 1600-1700 (see Wikipedia reference below) so while slave trade started earlier it was not prominent in the early colony days, and it was first led by Portuguese and Spanish before other nations opted in.

> It is estimated that more than half of the entire slave trade took place during the 18th century, with the British, Portuguese and French being the main carriers of nine out of ten slaves abducted from Africa.[44]

Certainly the game is not perfect on that aspect, but since it's an American game, it would probably be very sensitive to touch upon that subject in the first place. I can't even imagine how that would be sold there if slavery had been integrated.
