I ran across a reddit post [1] discussing it. I dunno if they've completely dealt with the issue, but it is pretty fascinating to see they are even trying.

There is page with a navigation frame giving Rosetta Code examples, syntax colored, with back links to Rosetta:

TXR has regexps is you need them. The regex engine is geared in a different direction from mainstream regex: it doesn't have anchoring, register capture or Perl features like lookbehind assertions. On the other hand it has intersection and negation (without backtracking).

Sure the activities that you can do while driving are more limited than the train (can't sleep, no matter how much I want to :-)), but that doesn't mean they are nonexistent. You can read via audiobooks, or you can listen to music, or podcasts (I came to love my 50 minute commute a couple years ago when I realized each direction was almost the exact length of an episode of This American Life).

I also find talking on the phone is a great way to pass the time during a commute—I have many friends and family members where I find quite often that we're talking on the phone because one of us is driving.
So it's not the code in the software but the software project as a whole that may be faulty.

On the show Sons of guns, they already made a drone that can shoot a pistol. Not very hard to do. Drones can withstand very high winds and hold position very easily, lots of hand guns have very little recoil and can easily be shot from a drone with very good accuracy.
To me, stuff like that is what distinguishes a journeyman from a beginner. As a beginner you can still build working programs, but as a journeyman you have enough experience to avoid obvious mistakes.

Good will hunting, even if it's cliche'd, helped me understand how personality can be a huge problem for oneself, whatever the talents, work and motivations.

There are many quotes that will make you wiser, but to me, the most important thing to remember about politics and society being mostly disorganized and unable to properly help individuals, is that society resembles a growing pool of microbes.

It's blooming with life with diversity, but it's not really aware of itself. To me people are aware of themselves, but society is not aware of itself. People are truly alone in their own life, society is not really there to really help them or make them connect with each other properly. This way, society is unable to really improve itself by improving its subjects. That's why I try to compare society as a live being, holding several cells.

This helped me contextualize myself in society, and give context to what society really is. Also important to never look down to anybody or anything, always be curious and not leave a thought with pessimism, always try to understand the compromises and origins of things. It's not an ode to optimism and positivism, but always be sure to confront your interests as a human in the void of the universe, and understand that even if it looks pointless, if it's a step forward, it's a good step.

I'm also very bad at expressing myself.

The at sign in the TXR pattern language is that way because TXR can match reams of literal text.

This is hard to show in small examples, so small examples become dense with the notation. Just like, say, tiny examples of HTML become a dense soup of tags.

Note that TXR Lisp doesn't have the at signs. You can write a pure TXR Lisp program by wrapping the whole file with @(do ... ).

TXR looks a lot better with syntax highlighting; unfortunately, this only exists for Vim. On the other hand, the syntax highlighting definition file for Vim is quite good.

Why do you think that $600k is not commensurate with the offense? It may be a significant part of that business unit's income. It may be 10X the amount of revenue they obtained by breaking this particular law. It may have resulted in some people getting fired - possibly people who didn't even realize they were doing something illegal. Hell, there are at least a half-dozen switches I could flip in DD-WRT that will violate FCC rules and I have no idea which ones are which.

I don't know this, nor do you. The people that do know this are the prosecutors in this case, and they considered that $600k (and the rest of the consent decree) was punishment that fit the crime. Unless you have some special knowledge of this particular case, I don't see why you are in a position to second guess them.

The reason GHC allocates at such an aggressive rate is the fact that memory allocation is really cheap in GHC. Allocating memory on the GHC heap is literally just bumping the "top of heap ptr", so writing one word.

The idea is that 90% of allocations are very short-lived, so allocating a ton doesn't matter as long as you can throw it away cheaply. Suppose we have an inner loop over an array, summing values. We may allocate at 1.6 GB/s doing the computation, but everything except the last value is garbage.

When we GC we simply copy this last value from the current heap and reset the "top of heap pointer". Yet another cheap operation.

There's a lot more going on (generational GC, nursery's and what not), but GHC's GC heavily abuse some facts that, for example, CRuby cannot, such as the fact that older generations can never reference data in newer generations, so GCing the current generation never has to perform "major GC" (i.e. checking the older data whether it still needs the current generation).

So Ebola was first identified 38 years ago as a disease, but not until 2015 (in the US) will ICD-10 recognize it as a unique disease? This, despite having unique codes for the same afflictions to different areas of the body? Perhaps the coding and EMR standards body assumed that African hospitals weren't going to be upgrading soon.
Two thoughts:

1. Certain standalone authors had that strength. Stephen King certainly did in the 80s-90s.

2. I think this is why certain fiction series tend to have very strong followings. Regardless of the HBO Series, people were hungry for "Dance with Dragons" when it came out.

The internet certainly helps with TV series. Much of the popularity of "LOST" was the skillful manipulation of that popularity by the production. Compare "LOST" with "Heroes" (poor quality rapidly squandered popularity) and "Firefly" (utter failure to leverage the growing fandom.)
This doesn't take religion. I often say that barbarism is not far behind us, but that may be too generous.

I find these lines from the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling the most inspirational of all:

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

I think the case of dogs is very interesting. Any dog lover will readily admit their dog is intelligent and emotional. Is owning them and keeping them on leashes not therefore slavery?
Spent a year doing analysis of EMR data. Talk about a tar pit. Few industries are as backward and obstinate to change as healthcare. Every clerk and doc has their way to do something and is quite against change, which is painfully ironic, given the docs are some smart folks. For example: patient phone number, sounds simple? Some clerks enter a number, other leave blank (NULL), others enter ZZZ-ZZZ-ZZZZ for blank, others all 5's, or all 9's, or all 7's, or some other number that only they know means blank. And that's for something as trivial as a phone number, now imagine symptoms, measurements, etc. We've got a long way to go.

The problem I have with that view is that it takes a lot more than picking up a pick-axe and spending a day or two learning how to look for gold. I don't know about you, but I'd venture a guess that most of the HN crowd (myself included) has been borderline obsessed with computers since a young age. Even if someone spends $10k to take one of those 6 week "boot-camp rails" classes, do you really think they're going to be able to compete at the same level as the rest of us?

I still don't believe this thing is 100% effective. What about the Liberian doctor who received Zmapp and died?
I recently went through a very similar ordeal. After kicking ass for two out of three months of contract-to-hire gig, the company said they loved my work and wanted to end the contract early. Awesome. Then they dropped a full time offer for 20% less than the minimum they advertised on Angelist, well below the market. When I tried to negotiate towards something more reasonable, they pulled that same line about the range being for a very senior dev and were resistant to negotiation, even though the advertised range is big enough to fly a jetliner through and they clearly know that no self-respecting senior dev would work for the bottom half of the advertised range. They just closed a huge round and could have paid more, but chose not to.

I ultimately declined their final offer which they seemed pretty surprised by. It's hard not to take personally after working there and proving my value for two months. Instead of a bum offer from a company I just met, which is no big deal, it really felt like people I thought were my friends were trying to take advantage of the situation. I probably will never do another contract-to-hire. I'm not interested in companies with a try-before-they-buy feeling about candidates, because I think it belies an unwillingness to value and respect the work of talented hard-working technical people.

I made some money and got valuable life experience from it, but I'm still sad about how it went down. There's enough credible salary information out there that companies are really doing everyone a disservice by pulling an extreme lowball on a candidate they want.

RC Planes are far cheaper than drones and can fly FPV and have been around much longer than drones. They can also carry very large payloads as well. These whole what-if scenarios are good to hypothesize, but assassinations happen if they want to happen. They are not going to happen more because of drones.
The AUVSI is known for generally representing more of the traditional military-industrial side of the drone business than the smaller, more entrepreneurial side. E.g. see their corporate membership list, which includes Boeing, General Atomics, Lockheed, Northrup Grumman, Rockwell & Saab (along with newer members like Google & Amazon) at the "Diamond Level": http://www.auvsi.org/membershipandchapters/corporatemembers

The Silicon Valley chapter of the AUVSI is more progressive with regard to small business drone advocacy, but it's hard to tell if that is having an impact nationally.

I dont know, but i think software kind of replace, at least in part, people's labor;

Technology and productivity is against labor and wages; unless you are part of the very few people needed to create the machines or softwares; probably with the advance of AI, even taht can be replaced..

I wonder why people tought that keeping replacing people with robots, and creating profit fetichism on corporations could lead to something else?

This is the old Marx profecy going on; That only creative and talented type of labor could survive; anything out of this will probably be replaced by automatization

Technological society didnt come to save the majority of people's lifestyle, its comming to kill the rest of it;

Of course some new value, and blue oceans will come to the surface; but then the automatization and profit circle will rule again, until little to none people are needed

But than, who really want to pick up the phone, deliver the sandwiches, or do repetitive and low demanding jobs?

This is good, only that humanity need to adapt, have more knowledge and go for the creative types of labor

Problem is 7 billion people maybe would be too much for this
, so i dont think is sustainable to everyone on earth to live like that.. and people with low levels of inteligence will have a hard time living in a society like this

The meaning of a word is determined by its context, so it's not particularly significant or objectionable that "books" is used to mean fiction here. I think you're being a bit dramatic with regards to having to read fiction in school. Society has decided that reading fiction is part of a well-rounded education. The same objections you make could be made about having to learn algebra; most people can object that they will never directly use it in later life and that they could have spend the time learning other things. In both cases an argument for teaching it is that it exercises the mind, developing a sense of abstraction in the case of algebra, and imagination and empathy in the case of literature, I would argue. It is not useful to compare the value of fiction versus non-fiction, they have completely different functions, and there's no reason for it to be a case of either/or.

I'm not a big follower of Middle Eastern politics, but my understanding is there's attempts by Iran's current government to put it's darker, more aggressive past behind it. A "friendly Iran" is a hard pill to swallow when we hear stories like this. I feel worst for the people of Iran who I doubt support the extremist nature of their government, but have to suffer the global consequences.
Well, I've actually tried it with the included OS X Perl, and I can't seem to find a problem.

So, I've satisfied your request, "Try using cpan to install basic modules like MySQL". I guess that means you admit OS X "can do pretty much any Unix based task that GNU/Linux can"?
I don't see the difference. When you open source something, you have no control over who uses it. That's the point.

I've open sourced a bunch of code. Now some enemy of the Iranian state uses it, and I go to Iran, and I am guilty by association and kidnapped and tortured?

I'm sorry, but for me when I read something this horrific nothing works better than a little sarcasm / humor.

I think the points (yes I think sarcasm can be a valid channel through which to voice your concerns) I'm trying to make here are:

1) People making decisions for corporations as large as GlaxoSmithKline tend to be disconnected from the impact of their decisions.

2) There are only 2 reasons something like this can happen. (a) Malice, or (b) incompetence. I reluctantly choose 'b'.

3) In general it's the people who actually make the mistake who get fired, and not the incompetence in the board room that creates the environment where these kinds of mistakes can actually be made.

As a side-note, I live in midwest in U.S. and am not a reporter or involved in media, so I'm pretty ill-equipped to go seeking out facts which I'm sure even a skilled reporter will have a difficult time trying to uncover.
> Maybe the software could have presented this better

I think there is plenty of room to improve the software in this area. Other EHRs might do this differently but the EHR that I have worked with previously basically had the "recent travel" field be a simple fill in the blank.

What if instead, the input from the field was matched with a database of locations? Once a location is selected, it could use online data of recent outbreaks and long term viruses/diseases of the region that was inputted.

Like you said, the medical staff wouldn't have ever thought "Ebola" as it has been 24 years since the last (and only) case of Ebola in the US. I am not even sure if Doctors would know the symptoms of Ebola to begin with, its just not something to be expected.

If that doctor was given a list of outbreaks and common viruses/diseases of the country the patient visited, it could have maybe allowed him to diagnose his symptoms by just seeing the word "Ebola" pop up.
No, not until 2015 will the US require EMR systems to be using ICD-10. The ICDs are developed and promulgated by the World Health Organization, and I suspect the US has been a bit slow to join in because a) anything coming out of the United Nations is politically toxic to about a quarter of the electorate, and b) US healthcare is a patchwork of private businesses and promulgating any sort of new standard leads to endless complaints about 'government red tape' and so on.

Anyone who is already using ICD-10 can code for Ebola, which is A98.4. So if you were a clinician billing the government, they're ready to accept ICD-10 coding, and I imagine most insurance companies are too. But lots of people are still stuck on ICD-9, same way many businesses were stuck on Internet Explorer 6 and windows XP for the longest time.
I blame unnaccountability.
The domestication of dogs was something that was mutually beneficial at the time. The use of leashes on a walk is for the sake of safety, not because the dog wants to escape.

And therein lies the flaw.
It's interesting to me that the dolphin and octopus seem to be separated from us by some missing feature. The Dolphin is social and intelligent, but lacks graspers (for tools).
