Ralph Lauren to Launch Tech Smart Shirt in the US Open
I didn't see any discrepancy: both the article and Marx are criticizing the alienating effect of the added bureaucracy and the lessening of the doctors' autonomy.
OpenBSD's new rcctl(8) utility
According to speedtest.net I have a 58 MBit download and 39 MBit upload. Yet, Netflix is basically unwatchable at around 6PM on weeknights. I literally get a better connection on my parents DSL than with Verizon Fios in Northern VA.

Remember Netflix maxes out at 3MBit/second and use useable at .75MBit/second so I am getting ~1-2% of my theoretical connection speed.
Well, digging around the docs and FAQs on both sites I couldn't see much useful introductory information about what the unique features of either project are, but I did some further Googling and read a few discussions. For anyone else interested, my conclusions are:

NASM and FASM are really the only up-to-date and cross-platform capable assemblers. MASM is up to date, but Windows only. TASM is not up to date. Others appear to have been abandoned.

The differences:

NASM: Is written in C and generates object files. Requires a linker to produce executables. Slow, inefficient compilation. Has some syntax quirks. May be more flexible in some cases due to the multiple object formats available.

FASM: Written in FASM. Very fast compilation. Cleaner syntax, better debugging tools. Produces executables directly without a linker. Possibly limited due to smaller number of output formats, but likely good enough for most projects that would be written in pure asm anyway.

FASM looks like the best option to learn first and then move to NASM for any specific requirement that FASM cannot meet. The syntax is mostly compatible between the two, so porting code shouldn't be too much trouble in the worst case.
one global country would probably fix that... or I guess you could end the Internet... but to tell you the truth, "cloud computing" needs to end instead.
I'd say the justification is two parts. First is the Bernstein–von Mises theorem (priors don't matter once you have enough data, as long as you didn't violate Cromwell’s rule by using zeros). The second part is: improper priors are considered okay- as long as you check the posterior corresponds to a sensible distribution.
That's an issue specific to Netflix, as far as I'm aware, and implicates a wholly separate issue. I'm fully willing to concede that U.S. telecom policy gives infrastructure companies more leverage over content companies.
Actually kind of the opposite idea. So called "uninformative priors" can be considered a form or model regularization in that they prevent the model from fitting the data too well...they spread the posterior distribution out. Weakly informative priors like a broad normal distribution are also popular and may yield better results.
There are also partial mocking libraries for Go. http://blog.getsocialize.com/2013/getting-a-handle-on-testin...
You're confusing white noise with independent audio cues.

Plus, I don't think anybody ignores keyboard typing sounds. They work just like car engine noises. Audio feedback for a physical action. The example you're searching for is keypad tones for smartphones. That's the concept behind your idea.
Because reservations affect popularity, both in general and with specific, potentially desirable customers. All else being equal, I am more likely to eat at a restaurant that takes reservations than one that does not because I know I'll have a table when I get there, and I doubt I'm the only person who feels that way. This is particularly true for higher end restaurants where the "experience" is a bigger part of meal. And waiting around to sit down is probably not the experience you had in mind.

And it's worth noting that a reservation is valuable even if there isn't always a wait. Unless the customer is a regular, he's unlikely to know what the wait would be like in the first place, and things vary depending on the day and time. A reservation removes that uncertainty for the customer, which is valuable even if a reservation wouldn't have been required.
Comparing vanilla to tooled seems a bit strange. Why not compare JMockit to gomock or something?
How can I monetize a free Mac app?
I have a Mac app with over 10k active users.
However, I don't know how to monetize the free app.

Is there any Ad platform/SDK for Mac?
Racket is getting pretty popular. Emacs is built on emacs-lisp. And now this is based on guile. I wonder how different these three lisps/schemes are.

I feel lisp enlightenment is long overdue for me. I'm just too busy for the past few years.
Failpage: Error pages as a service
I use emacs several hours each day and have written quite a few customizations myself in elisp. Enough that I think I have a handle on the question.

The Emacs APIs for window management, buffers, and other various "chrome" so to speak are pretty good and easy enough to grasp, once you get over the Lisp hump. But the Emacs APIs for managing text in buffers is difficult to wrap one's brain around, because it takes a very different approach to text management than most Unix tools. Basically, you write out the editor commands necessary to do the manipulation you desire. That sounds straightforward enough, but it takes some getting used to.

What Emacs really excels at, though, and what makes it stand out from other customizable editors is the fact that you can literally change the beast from the inside. Since Emacs is basically a Lisp environment, with some large portion of the code written in Lisp, it's very easy to pop functionality in and out to test it out, or to make changes on the fly. In a Lisp buffer, you can just hit Ctrl-J to evaluate the expression immediately preceding the cursor and print the result into the buffer (or use Ctrl-X Ctrl-E to run it without printing the result). Or hit Meta-: from anywhere to run some Lisp interactively from the minibuffer, affecting your environment in real time. This ability to toy around with the running editor itself is a feature unmatched by pretty much any plugin editor. The built-in devtools with Javascript console in Chrome are a close analog in a web browser, but that is limited to the document you are viewing, and you can't control the entire browser experience from that console. With Emacs, you can.

So yes, I'd love to see Emacs add modes that move beyond text editing and allow rich buffers and embeddable videos, audio, and widgets of all sorts. There exists a very rudimentary capability for this sort of thing in Emacs now, but it is extremely limited.
>GNOME

Oh dear Eris, don't get me wrong, I don't claim GNOME in particular is a software fit for any purpose.

My point was more like that the base system is still really good and systemd even with its failings is better than dealing with Windows. As for the desktop, there's enough choice that you should be able to find something that's maximally convenient while minimally retarded, with a small amount of customization. That something will most surely not be GNOME.

That's kind of what I mean - it's gotten worse in some ways, but you can still pick your poison and it's not as bad as having to deal with whatever retardation Microsoft come up with.
Your comment reminds me of a book, "Welfare, Ethnicity and Altruism: New Data and Evolutionary Theory". The book looks for empirical evidence for the theory of ethnic nepotism and kin altruism. I don't think I agree with all conclusions but interesting in that the book argues ethnic groupings resist collective programs because they don't want to share with or support other ethnic groups.
ftrace: The Hidden Light Switch
I remember 30 years ago in the UK being envious of US telecom regulation. The US had free local calls - unheard of in the UK then and you could connect modems to the phone line. In the UK that was banned as the lines were all owned by the government monopoly and could not be touched so you had to put an acoustic coupler on the phone handset, believe it or not. Now the UK surprisingly seems to have better telecom regs than the US.

> if companies relocate operations in the same way they relocate certain things for tax avoidance.

They already do. Umpteen companies run servers in this or that country for specific legal reason which are not necessarily related to taxation. Classic case: companies with dubious stands in regard to copyright law.

The PATRIOT Act already forced a number of companies to open European datacentres to satisfy particularly-picky customers; it's just that this particular threat was considered mostly theoretical... until Edward Snowden proved the opposite. Now all cloud-services providers must prove their virginity or risk losing sizeable chunks of lucrative European markets, hence why Microsoft is making a stand (on this case, at least).

I do applaud them: if anything, once this process is over, we'll have a clearer picture of what exactly the US government can or cannot ask from US-based cloud companies. We're currently in a fog where the law says certain things but practical experience says another. A realignment in one way or the other would be most welcome.
That's not the way I remember it in MASM/DOS. I think it's a Unix-specific thing.
I imagine it literally means "the kind of business guy who has his phone clipped to his belt" (implies a certain kind of caricature of the business/sales archetype).
Sweden and Finland are only sparsely populated on paper. Nearly 75% of Sweden lives along the coast, compared to only 40% of the U.S. 18% of Swedes live in the country's four largest cities, versus only 5% of Americans.
There is a lot of memorization in eSports too. Remember where all the players hide in Counter Strike, remember build orders (openings) in StarCraft, remember skill and item orders in Dota clones.

Tangentially, anyone know how to run tmux (or screen) so that SSH sessions automatically attach?

Ie., I want every interactive connection to automatically attach to a session on the server if one exists, otherwise create one, so that when I disconnect or quit, my shell stays.

I tried to hack a solution using .zshrc a while ago, but it just didn't work properly and/or didn't handle all the edge cases, I forget exactly.
How fast does your internet have to be for you to do your job?
This is one of the reasons microbenchmarks are really not particularly useful, especially when comparing two different languages. You have to intentionally cripple the optimizer in order to even get some of them to run the "actual" algorithm. And you have to restrict the algorithm used even if it might be impossible to implement the fastest algorithm as efficiently in one or more of the languages. You might argue that the point isn't to test the particular code, but the properties of the language and its optimizer. That's fair, but what about languages like Go that don't try to do constant folding like this in the name of fast compilation, or interpreted languages that don't perform JIT compilation? They are going to look unrealistically good on benchmarks like this compared to how similar routines would perform in an actual program.
If, as the article says, "Clients’ Focus on Low Price Is a Major Reason for Effort Overruns", then probably a simpler theoretical explanation can just be the winner's curse.

No need to talk about distributions, gaussian or otherwise.
The doctors lost the argument decades ago when they agreed that people had a right to medical services. It was self-imposed slavery (because they agreed) and now we are just discussing the details (e.g. Obamacare, medicare, etc.) and the govt programs that steal from people to pay for medical services are just windows dressing to make it look civilized and moral.

The good news is that your rights are inalienable, you can reclaim them at any time. The doctors should go on strike and reject the assumption that anyone has the right to their work. As a patient I would support the doctors 100%. Let's see how long medical services last without doctors or how laughable it will be when the govt tries to force doctors back to work. LOL.

Is React a client-side framework, or server-side?
My work is very much involving this, and it does have to do with protecting customers, because those customers won't exist unless Microsoft stands up to this. It's very much an issue with all companies that are non-US.

That's why my company is putting datacenters everywhere. Chinese demand a Chinese data center for Cloud computing. This happens all over the world, and our strategy is all about that.

This is a very real issue, and if the US states that any US company has to turn over data, you can kiss every customer from another country goodbye.

It's an extremely serious situation in my view.
I have personally had similar issues with youtube and other video sites, but besides that as a customer I don't care. I am paying them ~100$ a month and getting a terrible product. Also, images on some websites often take forever to load, so I think there is some issue with 1 or more CDN networks.

Hell, the battery backup in their fiber > coax box died after 18 months and they want 50$ to replace it. I don't actually care if it works though a blackout as my router is going down anyway, but the damm thing will not stop beeping.
>Determined to pursue the idea further, Craven contacted Dunnett’s widow and purchased the man’s patent for a sum of less than £20 (about $30 USD).

This is slightly misleading. If that was the actual price he paid, it was the equivalent of about £500 today.
We've all read about how much health care costs in the US, but I'd like to know: Into whose pockets is that money actually flowing? My guess is that those people will be doctors, even if directly caring for patients isn't how they make their money. From what I've gathered by reading about this over the years:

* More than half of doctors are self employed, meaning that their salaries don't tell the whole story about their incomes.

* Doctors are heavily invested as stockholders in provider businesses (insurance, HMO's, etc.), and the malpractice insurance industry. Until recently, my employer-provided health care was delivered by a large organization that was entirely doctor-owned.

Sorry, no links or evidence for either of these, and I think the gathering of that evidence may be difficult due to the complex financial relationships involved. But it makes me skeptical when I read about doctors struggling against "the system." Who owns the system? It may very well be that medical care costs less overseas simply due to a simpler system where costs can actually be tracked. Medicine might become a better profession in the US if med school were free, doctors worked for a salary, and everything else was owned by the government.

To be fair, it may be doctors exploiting doctors, and your career prospects upon finishing medical school may have a lot to do with how much investment money (e.g., inheritance) you have at your disposal to buy into the portion of the business that ultimately profits.

I worked at Beto I, Estelle, and Ferguson. I also transported inmates to/from medical facilities on occasion.

>he's in one of the state jail facilities near Houston and not a prison. Does that make a difference as to the availability of educational programs?

I don't know a lot of specific details about the state jail system.

>It's just inhumane that they don't have air conditioning in Texas prisons, especially in the areas where the humidity is so high, like the gulf coast. The heat and humidity were enough to push me away from Houston even though I grew up there.

It affects inmates and staff, and every summer there are a number of heat related deaths and injuries from both cohorts.

I didn't find a lot of good humane things about the way we imprison everyone for, everything.
The initial impact is companies from other countries will refuse to work with any company outside of their perceived comfort zone.

Take a company from Qatar. Perhaps they are comfortable with any datacenter in the middle east for Cloud Computing with a US company. If this becomes standard US law, they won't accept a US company for any reason. Thus every US company loses the customer, the profit, the business and it's replaced by others.

It's that simple. And what about companies that are from another country, but have US entities?

It's just a massive issue that could destroy corporate cloud computing.
Emacs should be compared to Eclipse, which seems flexible enough that it is frequently used when big company X writes an new IDE targetting a new platform or language.

My take would be that because Emacs lets you modify it deeply, you can do much more and also make a big mess.
I'm aware of the clinical trials of marijuana derived drugs, but that produces clinical data on those drugs. (Indeed there's been a synthetic THC drug for AIDS patients available for years, but it appears not to work very well, and not as well for many patients as "the real thing".)

My point is pretty simple -- marijuana is pretty damn safe, safer than tylenol for example, and it may or may not help with various medical conditions, so let people use it. If drug companies want to formulate highly specialized or refined derivative and market them against stuff you can grow yourself or buy from a dispensary, let them. But don't criminalize the basic product.
So I guess the US government is not logging everything yet... so this is 2 good news.
Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect,
even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.

The best advice I ever got on project-time estimation (from a biology postdoc) was: make your best, most honest best effort, and then double it.

When I make projections with a spreadsheet, I have a cell that copies my grand total of all costs and call that copy "unforeseen costs". I always hate bidding that high at the start, but the estimate ends up being close to right surprisingly often.

This article says 30% overruns are common, which is within my former boss' +100% bounds.

The other nice thing about doubling your cost estimate is it prevents you from catching the winner's curse and landing an overly-stingy client. Plus if you really can keep costs within your spec for the project, then you win extra profits. You'll never win that "game" if you don't leave room for error.

>The PATRIOT Act already forced a number of companies to open European datacentres to satisfy particularly-picky customers;

It's not picky customers, it's everyone. It's literally the first discussion that occurs. Any company in any part of the world wants their data in a datacenter near them, that follows rules they are comfortable with.

It cannot be overstated just how important this issue is to foreign companies.
I think it's going to be very hard for countries to work out how to deal with the issues. Pretty sure the Internet is going to continue to exist and provoke questions about what "national boundaries" mean in this context.

Predictions are dangerous, but probably the forecast for the future is that it will be even more "cloudy", whether we like it or not. Of course, can't do much about the weather anyway...
The provided link is pure linkbait, here's a link to the actual content:

> The example you're searching for is keypad tones for smartphones. That's the concept behind your idea.

Yes, that's generally the concept behind my idea. You're right, thinking about it, there's a difference between this and white noise. Still, aren't keypad tones for smartphones an audio feedback for a physical action?
Terminology would probably be important – programming contests have a lot to do with programming, you literally sit and write programs that pass the test cases.

I'm sure you meant it has fairly little to do with day-to-day programming for the majority of software engineers, which is correct.

Regarding the article, I also disagree with it. I feel like the author is saying "algorithms != programming contests" which is false. Algorithms are the essence of programming contests, just like 'machine learning' is the essence of Kaggle competitions. Open up Bishop's "Pattern Recognition and Machine learning" and you won't find anything about "deploying your model to production", but you will find lots of math on how to build models because that is what ML is. What the author seems to be describing is data-science.
For your convenience, the link to the "mothership" NixOS: http://nixos.org/

I've been using NixOS happily for over a year now. The "secret sauce" is the same between Guix and NixOS. The main differences are:

* Programming language (Guile vs Nix)

* Choice of basic building blocks such as dmd / systemd

* Strong preference for GNU tools in Guix

* No support for unfree packages at all in Guix (in NixOS, they're disabled by default, but you can enable them)

It's a bit of a catch-22: you can't know that there's not much different between x86 and x86-64 until you understand both. I guess asm newbies have some kind of mistaken idea that x86 is irrelevant and not worth their time learning (even if it were completely dead in the wild, which it absolutely isn't, you still need to know it truly understand the architecture); I've tried to post older x86 and ARM assembly language guides, much better written and more in-depth than this article (no offense intended to the author), and the only comments I get are along the lines of "this is old, it doesn't even cover x86-64/ARM64."
It is illegal, but it also means you'd have no foreign customers. They would lose tons of contracts immediately. It would completely end the enterprise cloud revolution that is occurring.
It’s Really Hard to Measure the Effects of Abortion Restrictions in Texas
Bandwidth is insanely cheap compared to last-mile infrastructure. Bandwidth caps are basically just a way to soak the customers who use the service more and are, hence, willing to pay more.
Not every directive attribute needs to be another directive -- it's probably overkill, especially if the attribute applies to only on one type of element. ngValue is an example of dogfooding directives with more directives.

UI Router states are pretty tightly bound to the URL fragment path, which makes it difficult to point to all the parallel states that make up that particular view "configuration"

Say you have a page /foo that shows two sets of tabs, A B and X Y. To point to foo with tabs A and X open, you need put that in the URL, e.g. /foo/A,X, or express it as a state path foo.A,X. It gets even hairier if you then want to activate children of those states, e.g. A.a and X.x.

You could implement your own subview routing with ngSwitch and stateParams (perhaps query parameters). It's obviously not a great solution.
Why can't I browse locations without an account?
Yes i agree, sometimes "production" goes too far. In some of those complex case it's even wiser to allocate much more time in advance from doctors and nurses, to prevent future complications - which are much more costly.

But i wonder:

On what sources do you rely when it comes to managing complex cases ? is it only known hard coded medical data in books and databases ? or also some intuition ?

And if it's intuition , how can you form intuition for such complex cases where really each case is pretty unique , as you said ?
