Thanks for the feedback!

a) The use of "hunger as an emotional state" is sort of a 'model artifact." "My grandma died" is not an emotional state, but it induces one. perhaps calling hunger an 'emotional state' is akin to saying "my grandma died is an emotional state" - it's wrong, but they can both produce emotional outcomes.

Maybe for you the impact of being hungry is weak. I've found myself that being hungry or tired makes the whole world seem darker, gloomy, and less ... doable. It unraveling this thread helped me realize that i came up with a lot fewer random ideas for businesses when I was hungry. It just seemed like the world was less full of possibility, and so that was one of the clues that lead me on this path, to see emotion as being a 'measure of possibility.'

I'm sure plenty of people would say i am not an "emotionally mature adult" - and I know this is something i still work on. i'm extremely sensitive and have a hard time being around other people who are upset. I think i put so much work into learning how emotions work because I knew i kept having these intense responses where other people would have milder ones. I think i've been far more bothered in life by the pain I've caused others than those other people themselves were bothered.
Nicely done. The market seems enamoured with larger phones. And it is good validation for Tim Cook given their sales rate.
I work at facebook. I love my job! This place is so supportive and caring inside; I haven't ever felt so accepted for who I am.
That sounds sensible, thanks; I'd misunderstood and thought you were doing continuous replication to another PG server, now I realise you're archiving WAL to S3.

It's a shame that "states' rights" has largely been associated with slavery (or these days, other hot-button issues like abortion). I think America has benefitted greatly from per-state experimentation of policy and governance, and it's high time the pendulum swung back their way, even if the federal government still has an important role to play.

In addition to the benefit of 50 petri dishes to gather data on what works and what doesn't, there's a human rights component, in that it's more feasible to move to a new state than a new country if policies are disagreeable. While not a perfect solution (especially for the poor), it does move further along the spectrum towards an active social contract, where people literally vote with their feet, rather than a passive one, where you're stuck with the rules of wherever you happen to be born.

Unfortunately, it is real. I've interviewed "senior software engineers" with "12 years of C++ experience" who could not tell me the difference between an int and a char*.
Please don't use acronyms such as PMITA. If you want to say, "Pound Me In The Ass," as in, "Go to Pound-Me-In-The-Ass-Federal Prison," it is a lot easier to read in expanded form.
I don't know about you, but I think the fact that one may save the information from being banned from the internet by saving it to our computer is incentive enough to risk all the bullshit they may try.
Well, Netezza is super fast and sometimes makes my life really easy. Though it it's neither particularly new nor pure in-house IBM. But their logo is on the manual, etc.
I would only add that the change in social norm can be seen already from 1958 when all school corporal punishment were banned. Seems rather reasonable that it took then two generations for family culture to not only change, but make it illegal as well.
And further down, for that matter. The closer the government is to the people, the more representative it will be. With, y'know, caveats...
Every two weeks when you receive your paycheck, apple receives one as well.

Then don't use EV? EV certs are generally pretty dubious, but I imagine the distinction between self-signed or no cert vs non-EV valid cert is pretty big.
https://apple.com does redirect to https://www.apple.com, but it does so with an Apple-issued certificate. Are you running Chrome on OS X?

If you use curl/wget/similar on a machine that doesn’t have Apple’s certificates installed the 301 fails (bad cert).

"curl: (60) Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates”

Oddly, when I first tried to load https://apple.com inside Vienna (OS X RSS reader) it refused to load (bad cert), now it loads fine. Hmmm.
If you were the only person besides the uploader to have a copy of the file, you should be worried. But now that potentially thousands of people have the same file, you don't have much to worry about. With that said, I wouldn't download it from my home IP address (or work) directly :).
I own my own company too, and the loneliness is a very serious issue. I miss having someone else to bounce ideas off of. And often it feels like I'm the only one that cares whether I'm working during a given 1-day period or not, which is very difficult for me sometimes, particularly when the work isn't very challenging.
That's fair enough. That said, I like Ruby (and have all but abandoned Perl for it) because you can be productive without having to learn cool hacks.

No, because in my experience emotions are not clear and concise. They are a very complex and nuanced way of generating relatively rapid responses to our environment based on our genetics and our experience. Our experiences are complex, therefore so are our emotions.

However his book:
Shame and Pride: Affect, Sex, and the Birth of the Self, by Donald L. Nathanson

Describes one system that I have found helpful. It's not concise, and it's not easy to read, plus there are obvious flaws, but I thought it was still as good as anything I've encountered.

IPhone 6 Propels Apple Profit to Record
It's funny, I started using Emacs around 1991 or '92 or so (at University), then I changed to Windows development in about '93 and switched my editor to BRIEF which had very nice columnar editing capabilities.

I used BRIEF for a few years until I moved away from strictly Windows development so I moved back to Emacs. Columnar editing was something I missed so much! But now that I've been away from it, it's hard for me to recall what I used to use it for.

Occasionally I do find that I wish I had it, but I remember feeling so crippled without it for a long time! So, can't wait to get back into it again now that it's available. I think it's one of those things that you start using it and find more and more things to do with it as time goes on. Just my $0.02 anyway.
Heh, crazy. In the Netherlands there's now a discussion flaring up again about what looks like an assassination by the Dutch army of a group of Moluccan hijackers looking to bring independence for their people (part of Dutch colony Indonesia shifting towards independence).

One salient fact that arose recently is the use of hollow point bullets.

Why is this controversial? Because for incapacitation, not assassination, regular bullets would apparently have been more effective. (and of course, an order for such an assassination would've been extremely controversial, in fact illegal)

Pretty crazy to think such hollow points are standard issue in some places.
> It looks to me that the picobrew is for those who don't want to do the 'heavy lifting' of homebrewing and want to say that they homebrew. The automatic bread machine of this generation?

I actually quite enjoy my bread machine. My wife and I both work and are active in our community. It's extremely wonderful to spend 5 minutes before bed and have bread in the morning. It's cheaper than buying bread at the store (ok, the 50¢ loaves give it a run for it's money), and we know exactly whats in it.

Once this comes down in price, which it or something like it will, to the point where it's a few hundred I can see it being used in much the same way by many folks: Good beer is expensive. OK beer is cheap. Home-machine-made beer is better than OK and cheaper.
The Dystopian Project – Winter's Hall Official Video
There seem to be two troubling problems with this idea. First, we haven't figured out how to distribute wealth and prestige in such a society, and we haven't figured out how to be a society where wealth and prestige don't matter. Second, we haven't figured out what most people will actually do in such a society, and while some of the possibilities are good things like familial, creative, and scientific endeavors, many are bad things like violence and sloth.

I'm all for it, if we can figure out some solutions to these issues!

Love of writing doesn't make the time needed to write a novel and it doesn't feed families.

Surely the quality of the output rather than the purity of the intent should be the driving metric? Weary journalists knocking out a book to order are realisticall better than 95% of enthusiastic amateurs.

Besides, most writers are notoriously penny less. Why do you think anyone is going into it for the money?
If somebody can MTM both SMS and your internet connection, you wouldn't know a thing. That one use would be done by the MTM and not you and thanks to the MTM everything would appear normal to you.

(MTM is not only the "man in the middle" but also "the machine in the middle" -- a computer which would react in real time.)
In this thread: just talking or writing _about_ encryption can be difficult. To say nothing of correctly implementing it in a project.
I think the key point is that you now have developed this reflective process by which you consider your emotions and beliefs. Expect it to continue to get richer!
Ah, it finally happened. My company has a legacy-ish SDK that all our products are built on, and because of bad decisions in the past (like extensive use of C macros) it essentially cannot be ported to 64-bit. Luckily we're already building the replacement, but this is going to accelerate the requirement of having to migrate data from the old system to the new one.

How to Launch an American Startup
Did you use the 'C-x r *' keys previously? I'm so used to those that I haven't been able to prove to myself that the new rectangular selection is better... In particular, I use 'C-x r t' quite a lot. What is the 'C-x space' equivalent to that?

I'm curious to know which things are easier for you with 'C-x space'.
I see. I was previously at a company with PTO and when I left I was paid the balance. At my new company I have both, but unless I use sick time basically as '2nd vacation pool' (potential ethical issues etc) I actually end up with less time off.

iPads aren’t doing so well, worse than analysts expected (but we have known this now for quite some time so it isn’t exactly a surprise). Everything else is pretty much above analyst expectations, weirdly enough, even the iPod (who still buys that?).

To be honest, as a consumer I would be ok with this, if not for the software ecosystem. (I like the iPad and it’s useful to me personally. What do I care whether it sets the world on fire.)

Devs jumping ship is something I do worry about, but it seems with size classes Apple is working towards making changing the UI depending on device size easier – and if devs have to change their UI anyway for the larger phones the extra work of making that UI viable on an iPad is hopefully still worth it in the future. (Or maybe Apple could do something cool with iPads. The hardware is already pretty mature, but on the software side there is lots of room for making it a more powerful device. Maybe that will help sell more in the future. Or maybe not.)
Clearly we don't expect his journalism to have the same level of rigour as his academic work.

Indeed, they have different hosts. akamai appears to host all of www.apple.com while the non-www server is hosted directly at 17.142.160.59 (primary), 17.178.96.59 (forwards for a lot of Apple domain names) or 17.172.224.47 (also forwards for a lot of domain names...). Oddly enough, only 17.178.96.59 has a proper certificate, but it's signed with Apple IST CA 2 - G1 from GeoTrust rather than VeriSign used everywhere else. They appear to have a misconfiguration for the other two servers configured in DNS to serve apple.com. Apple IST probably stands for Information Services and Technology group at Apple.
And the only thing keeping that from happening with traditional init is someone submitting a patch against the package to split up the functionality of the init script into more distinct subunits.

It's interesting to note that no patch has been submitted against the sendmail package, most likely because it's unnecessary. And the only reason that the logic was moved to separate subscripts called in ExecStartPre entries for systemd is because systemd doesn't have a language to express those things in, so they need to be subscripts in order to have that capability at all.
How are you doing your mashes?

EDIT: Just for clarification, just before my first daughter was born I was doing 15 gallon boils with a converted cooler for a mash tun. It was so much fun! But the time to do all that and cleanup (as you know, cleaning is THE most important part of course and a significant slice of the time) was pretty much a whole Saturday morning and afternoon, prime kid time.
Even a blog should be served over HTTPs. There's opportunity to inject JS for a MITM attack. Greyhound wifi does this all the time.

Something more interesting: if your site provides something like a code snippet, a MITM could change it.

A lot of download sites serve downloads on http. A MITM could change out the binary. This is especially bad if you're downloading something like a library (example: zeptojs, foundation by zurb)

So yeah. There's a lot of attack vectors. Do your best to minimize it even if you can't think of anything.
Where Young College Graduates Are Choosing to Live
Simply staggering.
it's even more fascinating. (biochemist here) I think the immunosuppressive regions is a small protein called sGP which ebola causes the cell to produce a ton of. It's not attached to ebola virions, so in a way it's a DDOS on the immune system, by creating a foreign component that the immune system gets distracted by instead of going after ebola.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see how [1] can be used to create "single binary containers with the minimal OS bits needed"? It is from https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/google/nodejs/dockerfile/ and uses the full Debian stack that you discuss including apt-get etc.

I've heard whisperings on the wind of research being done with respect to monitoring what files a Docker container uses, and then removing everything that the container doesn't need to run the app. I agree that this is the future- I shouldn't have apt-get, curl, etc. taking up space in my final image if I don't need them - but how do you tell a "good" file from a "bad" one? (Just thinking out loud here - what if my app depends on imagemagick, libffmpeg etc.?) Nix looks pretty cool I suppose.
You know what Emacs is? It's a big Lisp interpreter. It was made to be extensible so that it could do anything. It could be your IDE, for example.

http://cedet.sourceforge.net

The problem is that it isn't a good enough Lisp engine to be very good at anything beyond the great text editor, which it has been since the early 1980's.

Avoiding the really hard problems and building a better emacs browser doesn't really help anyone. At some point, people will realize that the concept behind Emacs is great but could be better done in another high performance language. JavaScript in a browser? Clojure?

I also don't see why we should assume that Intel would implement RDRAND as looking at the randomness pool and at the same time believe that they can't do even more funny things when they control the whole CPU. If the active maliciousness is assumed then the CPU can't be used at all.
Python + Numpy: core loop is computationally intensive + benefits from vector ops

Cython: repeated invocations overpower any core loop advantage

In the case of NLP, which is the author's field, you'll find not only do you have an intensive core task, but the number of times you'll call something is insane.

To give an idea: the time complexity for parsing is O(n^3) [n = words in a sentence]. For Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG), the formalism that the author Matthew and I commonly use, it's O(n^6). At that point, the inner loop almost doesn't matter -- even if it was just a null op, the function call overheads and everything around it are performance killers. Both of those are what Cython works incredibly well for, especially when you get full control of the data structures.

This is one of those situations where the concept that premature optimization is evil is really quite far off..! =]
Apple at $12 (pre split, ca 1996) is the whale that got away of my investment career.
you could make that argument for certain hardware optimizations, too (like SSE, GPU, PPU, etc). A computer is not a raw turing machine.
In both cases a tool is being adapted for something it wasn't intended for: to write C-style code—specifically, code that works with memory the way C does—in a high-level scripting language.

This way of combining high and low levels within the same program seems qualitatively unlike, say, C++, traditional FFIs, and other answers to this problem. It's fascinating to see it emerge from more than one existing technology.
Here's Why Facebook Never Created a 'Dislike' Button
That's a pretty good idea. The actual mechanics of brewing beer are exacting and tedious, but have little room for creativity. The most creative part of the endeavor is the recipe.

In fact, many commercial microbrews are partly or wholly made by contract brewers, so this already exists at a larger scale.

The downside is the legal red tape for anything involving alcohol, particularly anything interstate.

There is a downside to too much power in individual states: the "race to the bottom" where capital can make states compete for resources and jobs by allocating them to whoever makes the most concessions, whether it's tax breaks, labor laws, environmental protections, etc. (We live with this already on the world scale; our protections on labor are great, but have mostly resulted in exporting poor working conditions overseas rather than eliminating them.)

That said, the more local the government is, the more effective and responsible it tends to be: each vote counts more, constituents resemble humans rather than numbers, and it's a more manageable scope to engage in the nitty-gritty of governance. Balancing this reality with the benefits of collective solidarity is what Charlie Stross would call a Wicked Problem [1].

Docker images are like if some high school kids decided to sell mass-produced beer. Instead of writing down a recipe with the ingredients, measurements, temperatures, elevation, times, and distributor-sourced quality-assured materials, the kids go to random stores and buy whatever they think they need to make beer in huuuuge quantities. They make huge batches of beer so that they won't need to make it again for months or years. Then the next time they brew a batch, the beer tastes completely different, they say, "Oh, we might need to write some of this stuff down, and make sure it was the same as last time."

> Let's remember that in those 42 years the number of BASIC, FORTRAN, or COBOL jobs has diminished through to almost nothing.

That's true, but it's a hockey stick / logarithmic thing. When I started coding, the BASIC and COBOL technologies were waning-- still bringing in paychecks, but it was clear that their peak was a few years in the past.

There are lots of people right here on these forums using technologies today that are in the exact same situation. Citing these examples by name usually erupts into a flame war, but for sake of illustration, a good example might be PHP.
My (non-tech) friend was sighing about this too, until he thought some more and realized he would have certainly sold it at $20. Which would possibly be an even worse feeling.
It's fascinating to me that the iPad is flat and being effectively cannibalized by the iPhone. Can anyone think of a similar example where a newer form factor gets re-absorbed or passed by the previous form factor? (I probably need a more elegant way to say this)
That's defeatist talk, IBM! Snap out of it!
Well, in terms of whether the example is a well-posed question, a networked window system isn't too different from the WWW, which as we know by now works pretty flawlessly.

Perhaps the key contrast here is between the tendency toward static mathematical perfection of the APL family and the notion of dynamic languages for building systems that Alan Kay et al would propose.

"APL is like a beautiful diamond - flawless, beautifully symmetrical. But you can’t add anything to it. If you try to glue on another diamond, you don’t get a bigger diamond."

Those tokens are rarely actually one-time-use; They're more commonly time-limited (and you still have cache invalidation problems even if they're supposed to be one-time). Further, they fail to deliver so often that it's not hard to intercept one and use it, forcing the user to retry.
