The obvious argument is that people can "novelty-seek" and "acquire new skills" without living in precarious economic situations, being bound to their parents while still taking on massive amounts of debt.

They scheduled him for a only an hour (even though his talks are usually 2-3 hours) and chased him off the stage when he went over time. It's odd that even Oculus doesn't seem to be treating him with the level of respect he deserves.

Reducing crime is no excuse for violating people's rights. Eviciserating the Constitution will always make the police's job easier. If they could take a DNA sample from every resident, it would simplify crime-solving. If they could search every house in a neighborhood without a warrant, hold every suspect in a crime . . . Police states are certainly efficient that way.

Humans have to balance safety of different kinds to create a livable society. Safety from fellow citizens versus safety from those we empower to provide that safety.
really cool.

nested with_synth and with_fx calls seem less intuitive than an object oriented approach, which mirror traditional circuits. (synth.connect(fx1) fx1.connect(output)). what was the reasoning behind this? i only ask because i could see it making a difference in terms of education. and, what makes this more suitable for schools than ChucK, Supercollider, etc.?

that aside, i really wish someone would make a language agnostic livecoding VST so we can start incorporating stuff like Sonic Pi into our real workflows. i sense an integration like that would also gain some attention from people who previously ignored livecoding. i'm sure a lot of students screw around with Fruity Loops or Ableton and would find livecoding much more accessible if it tapped into the tooling they already understood.

Thanks for the evidence, I was doubting your posts authenticity.
By your definition of "inherent", that is what I'm saying. The data suggests there is some trait which is correlated with ethnicity and also with crime. Because this trait seems to be a strong driver of crime, it is unreasonable to suggest that a simple policy change will reduce crime to Scandinavian levels. For all we know, it might reduce crime to "Somalian in Scandinavia" levels rather than "Scandinavian in Scandinavia" levels - these are both crime levels which exist under Scandinavian policy.

There are many traits which are correlated with ethnicity, and hereditary, but not genetic - religion and accent for example. I'm not opposed to a genetic explanation, I just don't think the evidence strongly favors it.

It's also irrelevant to the policy question unless the policy directly addresses those traits. For example, if the trait is genetic as you hypothesize, then adopting a socialized genetic engineering policy might help. Or if the trait is, e.g. Islam, then a policy focused on converting Muslims into Buddhists might help.
idk...seems like self-serving justification to me.

young people delay adulthood,l i think, because their parents allow and perhaps even encourage them to stay at home. this may not be a totally irrational response to economic realities in 2014, but trust me as someone who had overindulgent parents in my 20's, it comes with potentially a painful downside eventually.

"What do I mean by stimulation and challenges? The most obvious example is higher education, which has been shown to stimulate brain development in ways that simply getting older does not. College attendance pays neural as well as economic dividends."

simply getting older? what about the "brain stimulation" that comes from perhaps learning new things for work or running a start-up? the idea that working adult somehow turn off this part of their brains is highly suspect imo.

Yes. And Yes. I doubt that our conception of these things will be in use in twenty years - but I do think that assisting the process of taking an idea and putting into production (process of programming) is going to be more and more a feature of our world.

It allows for bringing up the worst ten percent of code without limiting the top ten. It is far far better than the Java idea of making it hard to shoot your foot off with the language.
Yes, I agree. This dialog with the compiler may help library authors and library callers, but it doesn't help readers. A beginner is likely to be reading code on the Internet, in tutorials, blog posts, on stack overflow, or in papers. Perhaps a particularly active, determined reader might also try out the code they read.

It's common to automatically syntax-highlight online code but not to type-annotate or cross-reference it (adding links between declarations and usages). But perhaps the tools will get better.

What an uncharitable interpretation of my comment!

Stories like this get flagged off the front page all the time. I'm happy to see this one hasn't, because it is formally interesting (even if the subject isn't germane to HN).
I think the nymwars was the tipping point: they alienated specifically their seed audience of techies (people who had friends at Google to give them an invite), and those techies told everyone they knew "STAY AWAY". That's when I first heard the list of excuses I give there (particularly "it's hugely popular in some sector you don't have numbers for!").

I mean, bloody hell. People desperately wanted Facebook the application without Facebook the company. Google could have had that if they just hadn't fucked up and hadn't gotten greedy.

same for downloading on google play. you rarely even get push notifications.

some other sites are slow as well albeit its not as bad as google sites, such as facebook and apple (incl. app store, software updates etc.)

Its been gradually worse and worse over the years, and now im switching away from that ISP in a month. its unbearable.
It's constructed entirely from builtin unix commands, so it's solid. The biggest risk is that someone could put malicious code into your ~/.sshrc, which would be run on the server. However, if they have write access to your $HOME directory, you're already in big trouble, as they could just as easily add something like `alias ssh='ssh "rm -rf $HOME"' to your ~/.bashrc.
We have two issues here which are both bad.

One, big corporates that don't take the appropriate steps because of incompetence, corporate inertia and a lack of consequences. People who say something are not taken seriously and the good ones leave.

The other, has to do with startups, who are dealing with sensitive information, who do not take the appropriate steps to secure it because they would rather win the VC lottery. Putting customers data at risk is ok if they can get their payday.

I have personally observed two startups that have done this.

One was a startup working in the identity management and protection space logging sensitive information in plain text on their servers and bringing them down to unsecured local dev boxes for debugging. When I asked them about it they said they knew what they were doing was wrong but didn't feel like it was a big deal. From their point of view they didn't think they were a target. Of course they also didn't feel that it was worth the cost.

The other was a banking startup that was storing Social Security Numbers and account details that would allow direct access to bank accounts on Heroku PostgreSql databases. Once again when I brought it to their attention, making the product look good for the next round of funding was more important than a customer having their bank account cleared out or having their identity stolen. Incidentally many of the developers for this banking application had come from a large established Accounting company and didn't seen anything wrong with what they were doing.

What this really comes down to are ethics. Is it ethical to cut a corner and save money on development if it means that a data breach of our system could lead to possibly significant financial consequences to our customers?

I personally try to adhere to the ACM code of ethics http://www.acm.org/about/code-of-ethics
. But unlike the field of medicine where even the worst doctor has been vetted by a committee of professionals we have no bodies that evaluate the character of people in our field nor a oath like the Hippocratic oath that is an automatic piece of the training.

If more engineers were willing to say no and even quit over poor security practices I'll bet you security would be taken more seriously.

What's your number one recommendation for mobile app developers in terms of enhancing (or not screwing up) accessibility?

If you're feeling extra ambitious, I'd love to hear the same advice with respect to web apps. Has HTML5 made a big difference in terms of accessibility? Are there any obvious big wins for accessibility that most of us are missing?

Thanks for your awesome comment!
The main reason it's "easy" in France (and UK, and other places) is that the big name's network are required by law to let you use the end point. That exists in the US on the phone lines (legacy telephone regulations). But not on anything else (no cable or fiber).

The regulations are on the books, and through the mid-2000s UNE-P was a somewhat-viable business model. However, the ILECs figured out that they can sabotage the fulfillment process with no repercussions. When your new customers can't get their service actually started, and the only thing you can tell them is "Verizon is being mean to us", you're not long for the business. That's why the only remaining CLECs are "facilities-based", i.e. they don't use the UNE-P program.

This is why I'm not so hopeful for a similar program on the data side. I've seen the kind of bullshit the incumbents pull, and I greatly doubt the FCC will ever prevent that. I don't think investors are dumb enough to fall for the 1996 bait-and-switch again, so any effective program like this would have to include strong structural protections for competitive ISPs. My understanding is that the most effective such programs in Europe have done that, e.g. forbidding the network owner from selling to retail customers.
At first nothing. Most of the change will be behind the scenes where ISPs will start charging content provides more and more to deliver their content. They'll leave the little guys alone, and on the slow lanes, for now. But if your site gets popular plan to pay the piper! After a while, say 5 to 10 years the ISPs will lick their lips and start offering competing services. They will keep these services at arms length so it doesn't look so much like a competing service, e.g. NBC (which is Comcast). They'll squeeze the various third party players and buy some of them up in the end.

So the future looks a lot like the past: ABC, CBS and NBC with a smattering of a few others, e.g. Google.

But be careful, because these techniques are also useful to incriminate innocent people, dissidents and to find a scapegoat when you can't find the real criminal.

I'll tempted to go full hyperbolic and claim that these techniques are more useful to increase the incarceration of innocent people than to find the real criminals, but I'd like to know if someone has measure it and has actual evidence.
LightTable started from Clojure. Larch is based on Python.

Neither is based on Mathematica.

edit: What I mean is that iPython Notebooks are one of the few toolkits that are starting to take hold in academia in applications where Mathematica rules. Nobody in "serious number crunching academia" uses Clojure.
> We have two issues here which are both bad.

Sorry, where does anything in this article mention startups?
Visual programming is very established in contemporary music. Max/MSP and SuperCollider are state of the art, with dozens of papers written on it. I do not get why those languages are not used outside a very litte academic hipster music community.
Frankly there are plenty of private organizations desperate to take over Internet distribution of these documents, at no charge to anyone. If PACER can't match or compete with this, then they should step aside as far as distribution goes.

Beat it three times by simply clustering the boats together. Assumed that any program which will be 'good' at Battleship will also be one that will have an efficient way of searching for ships throughout the board. By clustering them all next to each other - the boat wastes moves searching the rest of the board. Cool regardless!
Nothing.

Exactly. Where there's competition, ISPs won't be able to keep their market share with a restricted service. And in areas without competition, they will gouge you one way or another regardless.
America would be seen as less competitive. There would eventually be a brain drain in the mid-term as developers either did not emigrate, or did immigrate out of the country as other markets offer better value. Developers will start creating programs so that all traffic is masked and can not be differentiated, things like usenet will proliferate. Hardware entrepreneurs will created localized meshnets in major cities. Also, people could actually flip out. It is the dumbest thing to do from a political standpoint. Ancient Rome placated the people with panem and circus. Poverty is already pretty widespread so many people live for entertainment. If you knock this out people will wake up a bit when they have to pay a fuckton of money (that they don't have working minimum wage) for netflix.

It will likely lead to a massive decline in American supremecy.

resides the JIT implementation; it was better if it was a real fork of Ruby Git, so one could compare Ruby master to RuJIT in order to look at the changes.
Doesn't it feel bad when you can't remember something that was once meaningful?
Compilation and unit testing will not catch suboptimal expression of logic/thought (which in my experience count for way more than 10% of code reviews).
Another example is Wikipedia zero, with participating carriers not charging for Wikipedia use. Similarly there's Google's new Android One where software updates and some play store usage are free of data charges.

In the UK Three used to sell these bundles of data where you got YouTube and some others free or as extra bundles, it was all a bit weird and not very net neutral. In our market I don't really see the lack of net neutrality as an actual issue for consumers, but we do have fierce competition. I do think things would be very different in a world with neither net neutrality nor competition.
why do people want to avoid using new?
Nope. Thst's just you presenting more cynicism without a shred of evidence.

But that usually comes at a loss for screen space. More screen space gives you more flexibility for more touch interactions (see rotor for voiceover, possible use of assistivetouch, etc.) and more information displayed when zoomed in (if applicable, which is _amazing_ to use for my visually impaired but not blind father). Then I have a mountain of other uses if you want to go into accessibility features for other disabilities, just on iOS.

And if we're talking about typing on a physical device, a fair number of visually impaired folks I know have bluetooth braille displays (e.g. note taking w/iPads in class), or you can sub a regular keyboard to that instead if wanted (if you don't want the display either).

From my sighted but alternative perspective on why physical keyboards built into phones is not the best idea either, I enjoy being able to type in English and Korean, then swap over to Chinese handwriting when needed. I don't have the same thumb typing muscle memory for other languages/layouts than I do for qwerty, so it's great to see what I'm typing occasionally.
