Sure, but I think this is just reiterating the original point that hardware is cheap and programmers are expensive. If you need to meet a performance goal and hardware is cheap but programmers are expensive, then throw hardware at it. The point I was (trying to) make is that when you have N instances of the problem to solve (where N is large), often the cost of "scaling the hardware" is prohibitive; optimizing performance by 1% might yield operational cost savings that justify the programmer's salary, simply because the 1% is multiplied by N. This is orthogonal to parallelism/scalability.

I'll grant that this case may be rare (i.e. most people are optimizing for initial results, not optimizing a large existing machine) but it does happen!
Is it normal for x to reference the vertical, and y the horizontal in such games?

take this map: http://vindinium.org/4mx1xu9j

it returns the locations of the mines as:
{(5, 9): u'-', (4, 9): u'-', (5, 0): u'-', (4, 0): u'-'}

So that top left most mine is 4,0 instead of 0,4 that I'd would expect.

It also has the location of my hero (althalus, right at the top left) as (0,1) vs my expected (1,0)
For disk encryption on Windows, I switched to Bitlocker for my personal use. At my workplace we use Symantec Encryption and Sophos Safeguard, my understanding is they are both pretty okay.

For file encryption, now I just do everything on my Ubuntu workstation and use GPG + tarballs. This is sort of a pain in the ass though, and it's not as secure as a TC container of course. It's kind of just a stop gap until I can think of something better.
The letter of copyright law might allow a prohibition of forking and relicensing (to reiterate, the TC author would have to reveal him or herself in order to enforce that prohibition), but philosophically...

"I don't feel that forking truecrypt would be a good idea..."

This is a straight-up abuse of copyright law. Author has no intent of profiting from the project, no intent of continuing to work on the project, and still waves around the hammer of copyright as if it's a fundamental right absent any connection to the constitutional qualification of promoting progress in the sciences and useful arts.

To say there's a moral imperative against forking and relicensing in this scenario is stretching the rationale for the copyright monopoly quite far.

This reminds of the polymorphic viruses in MS-DOS/Windows era (very likely they still exist, but I didn't look for long time) where they would dynamically generate the decryption/encryption routines and changed their code appearances to thwart signature-based antivirus scanners. As such, maybe it would be fun to add self-modifying codes so that 1) precision is reduced 2) performance is also randomly reduced. The longer you run this baby, the slower and less precise it would be. ;)
I've never heard of these networks, mind explaining how it works?
Most of the big breakthroughs that will fuel the next round of humans being automated out of jobs are on analysis of data in fields such as computer vision and human speech recognition and such. Once a car can "see" its surroundings, it doesn't need real AI to drive, it just needs to know how to walk a graph and apply a simple set of rules based on what it sees.

General purpose AI, if we ever do achieve it, is still probably a long way off, but far more jobs than most people tend to think can (and likely will) be automated away long before we ever get there. A lot of the things we do for work just don't require actual creative problem solving most of the time.

Having a (great) idea is nothing unique.

Putting them into practice requires some things, which you seem to heavily lack (as you describe).

At least one of my wife's doctors does not type notes during the visit, but puts them into the computer immediately following. I think she keeps notes on paper while visiting.
They also get paid exceptionally well to generate exceptional returns, so they make money either way. There is a relatively common saying in finance that 2 & 20 is the best business model that exists.

As for LP returns, if you're not investing in a top quartile (or decile) fund, you're wasting your time. There is still some turnover in which firms perform but it's relatively consistent.

Edit: I've skimmed the article, the other thing that isn't mentioned is that the 2% management fee is generally paid back to investors out of profits (if there are any).
Cool idea, interface looks nice, but I never actually managed to convert anything. I guess it's because the server is hammered right now.
Nice, haha, there's probably a dozen or so such apps. My motivation was to make an app that pings me when it's time to remember a certain item.

Well not all levels, just the line itself. So you do escape the gimmicky billing / traffic restrictions / artificially-constrained connection rates / horrible support. But yeah, you mainly have to hope things just work and the telco is able to leave the circuit alone. (and that they aren't still petty about having to open up their lines. although if that's a problem, why would you want to encourage it by giving in?)

I've got this problem that seemingly every 4-6 months, lots of line errors/disconnects develop (consistent over days). Call up the ISP, and when they run a test, the line goes back to normal. Last time they even sent an ATT (nee SBC) lineman out anyway, but of course his test looked great too. Apparently you can pay Sis Bell $1k or so for "line conditioning". If it gets worse, my plan is to just get the ISP to provision a second circuit and then cancel the first.

But overall, it's certainly much less stress than dealing with the cable company or telco directly.

More colors seems like the obvious way to increase the difficulty as the user levels-up. With only four colors, random play is quite likely to get a match--the odds of a randomly selected tile matching a given tile is going to be 1 in 4.

From a cursory look (my math may be a little off) it seems like the odds of a tile matching at least one of its 4 cardinal-direction neighbors is ~57% (20 of 35 order-independent variations), and the odds of a tile matching 2 or more of its randomly selected neighbors is ~28%. In other words, with just random play you're going to get a match out of every `+` shaped collection of 5 tiles nearly 1/3rd of the time. Factoring the three-in-a row possibility the odds of a match will go up from there. (And since a match will eliminate several tiles of given color, the odds of getting a match on the "chain reaction" must also be quite high.)
Traffic ticket cameras in general whether they be read light or speed cameras are a complete racket. In many if not most jurisdictions the government doesn't actually own the traffic cameras they just license the privilege of deploying them to a private company who gives the government a cut.

The problem is that they just mail out as many tickets as possible without regard for whether or not they are even correct and hope people don't dispute them. It also makes for great incentives for corruption as this story illustrates.

Do you have a source for that quote from Hegel ? I'd like to check the actual german version of it :)
So, I think that the best way to address this would be to allow it to be mostly open. The default is for all notes from the doctors and patients visible to everyone; but doctors can write "hidden" notes that only other doctors are able to see.

In a lot of ways, I see this like a public bug tracker. For bug trackers, it's generally best for everyone to see all changes, to be kept up on what's going on and be able to most usefully provide extra information. But for security sensitive issues, or internal discussion that involves things that the end user needn't know about, many have a way of posting "protected" comments that only certain privileged users can see.
I actually don't know how this would become obvious. Do you look at your server screens while they boot? Any attempt to checksum the BIOS from the operating system could be easily bypassed by simply regurgitating the OEM BIOS if anyone reads it.

2 and 20 refers to a yearly fee of 2 % of assets, plus 20 % of profits that year.
Or to go another way: doctor's get paid on throughput, and at some point it's not worth the effort to keep arguing with the patient, provided you can show in your records you did advise them repeatedly that they were making an inadvisable decision.

YOU ARE YOUR OWN EXPERT. Everyone else always drops something about you and you ALWAYS need to remind and talk about all the issues out loud with your doctor. If they don't find a new doctor if it is a big medical issue.
If the NSA are targeting your systems they will use a backdoor'd version of Coreboot.

And in this case the malware is lurking in the RAID cards expansion ROM, so you wouldn't even notice a change at boot anyway.
the only problem - in the US - with this is that the more you tell them the more they will bill you. It's like as if every little piece of information that otherwise should help a doctor identify what's wrong and result in a faster and more accurate diagnosis makes the billing department's job that much easier. Now they don't have to break down one single item and charge you 10 ways, they can break down each of your statements and charge you 10 ways for each.
That depends entirely on how much the client is paying. Usually clients don't value their time very much.

Yes! I can't stand this kind of thinking in code reviews, someone will say X is slow, and I say, "How slow is it?" they'll say something about O(X) and I'll say, no really exactly how much time in seconds will be saved by changing this.

Usually at this point they have no answer.

In general your O(n^4) algo is perfectly fine, and no one will ever notice your O(1) replacement. When it isn't fine it's painfully clear that it's not OK.

This doesn't surprise me at all, but I'm happy to see it.

Just look at how many blatant errors are in an average person's credit history, one of the most sensitive and important files any other party will ever hold about them, and mostly driven by computer-generated automatic updates. They are still borderline works of fiction for significant numbers of people.

Those credit histories are a lot more limited and objective than a person's current medical condition and past medical history, so I find it difficult to imagine even the most diligent medical professionals could collectively hold numerous conversations with a patient and perform numerous tests over the course of that patient's entire lifetime and never misunderstand something, fail to record a potentially significant fact mentioned in passing during a conversation, or simply make a mistake and record the wrong thing.

I learned something about lawyers and accountants very quickly after I started my first business. They charge a lot of money for their expert knowledge, and often they do understand subtleties in their fields that I don't, but they also still make dumb mistakes. I have found my working relationships with those professionals are dramatically improved, and the end results likewise, if we work more collaboratively. For simpler things, I get familiar with the issues (often with the expert's help) and make a first attempt myself that the expert can then review. For more complicated things that I simply can't do, we schedule time for the expert to talk me through the big picture and double-check any key details.

I cannot imagine why doctors do not routinely work the same way. It seems to offer all the same benefits and moderate all the same risks for all the same reasons. The only major difference is that in the case of a doctor it could literally be my life or quality of life at stake rather than just some numbers on a page or words in a court, which surely makes it all the more sensible to work collaboratively as much as possible.
The biggest indicator of health is nutrition, yet it's one of the most poorly understood topics in medicine. Ask five different doctors and you'll get five different responses as to what are the accepted parameters in a healthy diet. What we need is a concerted research effort by governments to make headway in figuring this thing out instead of relying on research by teams funded by large agribusiness conglomerates. We also need (at least in the US) to start regulating what goes into our food. It's unacceptable to call something "lite" when you've just stripped out healthy fats and added chemical fillers made from corn sugar.

It's just as unacceptable that someone can graduate from high school without knowing how to balance a checkbook, open a checking account, or know that you should probably be reading the nutritional labels on the back of the food products you purchase... it's a societal failure.
The fact that the parallel port was the only high speed bidirectional port also lead to attempts to daisy chain things that usually didn't work past a device or two. So you may have an external drive or a scanner and your printer and if you were lucky you could leave it all plugged together and it would work.

I also remember being short of COM ports between modems, drawing tablets, special game controllers that didn't use the joystick port, etc. Installing a serial card for additional ports was one of my first upgrades.
still, that occasional use case is catered for with a USB breakout board, or a USB to serial. So it's not like we have really lost anything
It's deterministic at some level, but can be very difficult to predict when a compiler will decide to spill 80-bit float registers to 64-bit doubles in memory.
Four of the last seven Illinois governors served time in prison for corruption. For decades, Chicago was run by the "Daley Machine", first under mayor Richard J Daley and later by his son, Richard M Daley. It was common knowledge that Chicago politics were corrupt from the mayor on down, but nobody was ever able to make any charges stick.
The USA also has a storied history and marked reputation among nations for its political corruption.

Admittedly this is coming from a Brit, but you lot have sort of taken the baton and run with it since the war.

Anyway, the point I was making, rather clumsily, is that putting the reason down to the place and leaving it at that is lazy and a bit snobbish. And it doesn't matter if the place is USA or Chicago, or some particular suburb in Chicago. Some people were corrupt and those people should pay, but making it geographical just invites prejudice.
Yeah, there's a few others on the website too. I'm not the kind of person that usually cares too much about typos in my daily life but -- in instances like this -- it often makes me wonder stuff like "if they overlooked that, I wonder what else they overlooked when designing the product/writing the code/etc."

It probably weighs way more heavily in my decisions than it should but I can't help it. From the website and their Facebook page, I have to assume that the creator isn't a native English speaker so that may be (at least partially) to blame.

As someone who has programmed for USB and many of the other "legacy" ports, I think what it replaced was much simpler to work with; in comparison, USB is a huge mass of complexity at every level, from the signaling protocols to the driver interfaces.

There's no denying that some of the things that came with USB, like mass storage and video cameras, are really useful, but I don't think the same is true of trying to replace PS/2, serial, and parallel ports. E.g. USB keyboards do not support more than 6 simultaneous key presses without needing some special workarounds, while it is not a problem for PS/2 interface. Serial ports are still widely used, especially for working with embedded hardware - a UART makes for an extremely simple terminal interface. Parallel ports are easy to interface to, and essentially provide GPIO capability - you can use one to flash microcontrollers and EEPROMs, e.g. to recover from bad BIOS flashes and other similarly bricked devices ( http://www.fccps.cz/download/adv/frr/spi/msi_spi.html http://write-code.blogspot.ca/2012/08/parallel-port-spi-flas... ) And from my experience trying to install and troubleshoot a USB printer (the problem was driver-related), I'd rather stay with one connected to a parallel port.

Latencies are also much lower and more predicatable than USB because these are dedicated interfaces; there's a community of hobbyists using parallel ports to control CNC machines, and USB<>parallel adapters will not work for that.

My motherboard still has PS/2, parallel, and serial - and 8 USB ports. A little-known fact is that most if not all of the integrated I/O chips ("SuperIO") used on motherboards still have all the legacy port controllers, but the manufacturers don't bother connecting the pins to anything.

If you're considering Montessori, there's a few things I need to warn you of (I speak as a parent who's put 4 children through)

1. You'll never look at normal schooling the same way again. You'll find the thought of sending your kinds to a traditional school depressing and wonder how anyone can think it's a good idea

2. Every parent/teacher you who finds out you send your kids to a non-traditional school, and who hasn't experience of them, will find the need to defend traditional schooling

3. Unless you're lucky enough to have access to a Montessori high school, or you're able to homeschool, you'll have to face the day when you send your kids back into a normal school.
I'm pretty sure it's been on here before, actually.
