I just bought a copy of the web based e-book -- very nice!

The people behind it are Scott Fortmann-Roe who made Insight Maker, and Gene Bellinger created http://systemswiki.org !

Who owns Insight Maker?
This is a comment from Scott...

I don't want to muddy the waters with Richard, but just to clarify the ownership of Insight Maker:

1) i personally have full rights and ownership to the simulation code that is ultimately used in Insight Maker. This is the code I do development on.

2) I release a copy of this software under an open source license that people can use for whatever they want. This copy is what is currently available on GitHub

3) This open source copy of the software is used in Insight Maker which is run by Give Team.

The key point of this setup is that the code for Insight Maker is open source and anyone can use it. But my copy of the code isn't bound by the open source license and I can release copies of it under other licenses in the future if I need to (e.g. if I had a consulting arrangement I could provide the client with a copy of Insight Maker that they didn't need to publish changes to, which the open-source license requires).

Here is a cool one:

The World3 model is a detailed simulation of human population growth from 1900 into the future. It includes many environmental and demographic factors.

Use the sliders to experiment with the initial amount of non-renewable resources to see how these affect the simulation. Does increasing the amount of non-renewable resources (which could occur through the development of better exploration technologies) improve our future? Also, experiment with the start date of a low birth-rate, environmentally focused policy.

Hey, you meet investors when driving for Uber and driving around for 4 hours after a 10+ working shift is perfect for distraction. You don't need sleep and rest. And you make good money ($800 in 12 hours), athought I think I read somewhere that the average Uber driver in New York makes around 700$ a month (sorry, don't find the source but correct me if I'm wrong).

The really great idea is the portable low cost steno keyboard, maybe backed by a Raspberry Pi. Just plug it in and you'd get your own customised input system with all your personal configurations and dictionaries and what not.

It's easy to downvote this, but what are the advantages of using the "new semantic HTML5 tags" like section and aside? I read plenty of articles about them, and in all the advantages were purely theoretical; sure, search engines or other user engines could do interesting things with it. But do they?
Consider Wikipedia->DBpedia->Wikidata->Wikipedia. First we had semi-structured human-readable information expressed using mediawiki's markup which was hard to parse automatically. Next the DBpedia project (and YAGO) created tools to parse mediawiki and extract facts as triples (e.g. "this thing" "is-a" "company"), they encountered many alternate ways of expressing the same information (e.g. date variants, weights and measures).

Now the Wikidata project (2012) is normalising the data in Wikipedia so that projects like DBpedia have an easier time with the raw information (no need to write alternative parsers for dates, weights, measures and simple facts!). As a result we've gone from human-readable information to machine-readable semantic-web-like information which is accessible via Linked Open Data.

Maybe the driver for semantic web data is humans trying to programmatically consume human-readable information, rather than the other way around?

In the U.S., the credit card fee is built into the retail pricing structure regardless of using credit or debit card, or cash/check.

I use a credit card exclusively to get personal Net 30 terms for every purchase I make. If a purchase is "same as cash" and I get to delay actual payment for 30+ days, I'm going to take advantage of that.

If pricing structures change, then I will reconsider. For instance, most gasoline in the U.S. once had two prices. One for cash and one for credit cards (this was before debit cards).

Recently, their is evidence of the return of such:

It's funny, I asked exactly the same question in a seminar about 2 weeks ago. The answer I got was, there are about 500 researchers assembling to talk about it (somewhere in Italy, I think), why don't you ask them?
It's not 'allowed' to exec a piece of code. It parses code and the parser contains a bug that can be exploited to execute code.

Code that is unsafe in this way is impossible to write in most languages.

I believe that my benchmark is one of those top hits. My description is at http://www.dalkescientific.com/writings/diary/archive/2011/1... . I wrote "My answer is that if you have a chip with the POPCNT instruction built-in then use it. I still don't have one of those chips, but I know someone who does, who has given me some numbers. "

My own code's logic is "if POPCNT exists then use it, otherwise test one of a few possibilities to find the fastest, since the best choice depends on the hardware."

I now have a machine with a hardware POPCNT, and a version with inline assembly. I should rerun the numbers...

To emphasize to the casual reader: 'bad' is a bit of an understatement: it's 'game over'.
I disagree that FP and OOP are the only abstraction methods. Arithmetic can be an excellent abstraction method.

For me, it's a code smell to have a function called "updateScore4". It's often possible to come up with an algebraic statement that gives the same result as a bunch of logic (code paths).

I think userbinator's point is that better code is easier to test as a result of having fewer code paths. Of course there are some gotchas to be aware of (e.g., overflow), but overall I agree.

Yes, these people are trying to sell you their version of knowledge about neuroscience (nothing negative about that). There are too many online courses now and course creators have to compete for student's time and attention. And this is an absolutely wonderful development.
Yes, for example this bug affects 'file': https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16825

The code in 'file' tries to parse the given file with every built-in format loader, so there are likely many more vulnerabilities like this one.

The semantic web is now integrated into the web and for the most part it's invisible. Take a look at the timeline given in this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3983179

Some of those startups exited for hundreds of millions, providing, for example, the metadata in the right hand pane of Google search.

The new action buttons in Gmail, adopted by Github, are based on JSON-LD: https://github.com/blog/1891-view-issue-pull-request-buttons...

JSON-LD, which is a profound improvement on and compatible with the original RDF, is the only web metadata standard with a viable future.

I didn't say they were good. I said that they don't cause the problems we associate with adolescents in adult staff: ie: it's not the bloody chairs that cause adolescent acting out. Saying "I don't act out. I have an expensive chair" is not a counterpoint.
Nobody will ever agree with anybody else on what the right hierarchy is for any given set of metadata so I think that hierarchies will eventually die off. But tags are metadata too and they are getting more and more common. They're unstructured in many ways (and therefore messy) but they do a pretty good job where hierarchies failed to gain good traction.
And quite expensive for that sake. As people seemingly charge travelers much more than what locals are paying for renting the same level apartments.

The problems mentioned there (assigning to array elements with out-of-bounds indices) can be avoided by using range checks (-CR option for fpc). It's strange (and silly) that this is apparently off by default for fpc, but it's not a language feature of Pascal.

It bothers me as well. I attended a social gaming conference during the height of the Facebook game fad, and every company had a "CEO", even if the company had one or two employees.

It's ridiculous, and only seems to be prevalent in the tech scene; when the plumbing proprietor shows up at your house, he isn't referring to himself as the CEO.

The effect isn't 'as though' it designs or plans at all, any more than clouds 'plan' to rain on the plains. Evolution is better described as 'survival of the fittest' than 'programmed to -foo-'. Keeping it phrased correctly also helps keep specious Intelligent Design arguments at bay - by talking about 'design' or 'programming', you're implying a sentient cause. And you don't actually need to say things like 'programmed by evolution' anyway. It's better to say 'resulting from evolution' or similar. Makes the same point, but keeps it correctly phrased.

Even better, put it in standard form with coeff 3, 2 and -2 and just by inspection the answers have gotta be "around" the zero. So you can outright ignore the multiple choice answers like +1000, -1000, one bazillion, ...

Also there will be a lot of "stupid" answers on MC tests like listing three, four, five zeros for a quadratic to see if you understand the basic concept of what you're doing, always read the answers before you start. If you think you're getting five zeros out of a quadratic by some unusual plug and chug of the formula then you've already failed.

Another fun one... the discriminant of this one will be 28, right? Its simpler than solving the whole problem, I did this in my head in a couple seconds even though I'm pretty much asleep. So you'll have a bunch of boring rational number zeros which can't possibly be correct for that discriminant and one whacked out obviously irrational answer and that will be the correct answer.
I used mercurial for a couple of years before switching to git precisely because mercurial was touted as the simpler choice. I believe I 'outgrew' mercurial, but I probably didn't invest time into discovering the various extensions and more complex components.

That said, in no way is git simpler if you view "simple" as the time between knowing nothing and being able to push your commits.

I'm skeptical. Most of these funds disclose at least the categories of assets they invested in - what is this asset class called and can you point me to a prospectus that mentions it?
It's a bit chicken-and-egg, really. If nobody uses them, nobody else will ever bother looking for them - but conversely, if nobody's looking for them, nobody'll use them. Someone has to make the first move.

There's some traction in academic publishing - aside in particular has some utility for popup/inline footnoting in some EPUB platforms, and some of the other new HTML5 elements are finding a place in online journal presentations, marking up formal abstracts and so on. There's nothing terribly clever going on yet though, as far as I'm aware, and anything that is will be very much platform or publisher-specific.

> If the program is anything in the nature of Fail2ban then just causing it to die is a serious problem

If that causes a serious problem, then the architecture is bad and unsuitable for solving that problem (remember: programs can also die because of OOM conditions, flakey hardware, admin errors. If this leaves a gaping security hole open for an attacker, or lead to DoS, then you need a better approach; fail2ban functionality should be in the process handling logins for example, not a separate entity watching logfiles, which might be broken too).

Compared to what? Certainly not C code, where very common issues are easily exploitable for arbitrary code execution.
Big data kinda reduced the need for it. People figured that its easier to bring the masses to the computers than the computers to the masses.
I see your point in so far as that it's fine to come up with and use one's own definitions for words, although every widely accepted definition of e-mail "spam" includes a criterion of being unsolicited. For example, in:

* law (e.g. CAN-SPAM or the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003) - indeed CAN-SPAM even stands for Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act and reflects the US government's position, the EU's regulations refer to 'unsolicited communications' - http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/2426/regulation/22/m...

* encyclopedia (say, Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamming - or the Encyclopedia Britannica - http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/941678/spam)

* dictionaries (say, Websters - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spam - or the Oxford - http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/spam)

* technical standards (say, RFC2505 - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2505)

* the viewpoint of people extremely against spam, such as Spamhaus - http://www.spamhaus.org/consumer/definition/ or SpamCop - http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/14.html

* the terms and conditions of e-mail service providers and senders - e.g. http://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/
I was aware of it but I find it's the 'minimum syndical' as you put it in french. A real way of embracing the semantic web would be, for example, to expose a LinkData compatible subset of their indexed content (a la dbpedia).

The way they expose the web today is unidimensional :
keywords => related website list.

It's great for humans to parse. But its extremely limited for machines. Why isn't there yet an API or an UI to ask all books of Japanese novelists of the last 2 centuries (website links included per book). I am sure this could be in googles reach and of greta interest for everybody (replace books by manga if you wish).

And that I would call embracing semantic web.

As a paper pusher during college, I had a $400ish chair, a desk with more than enough space to spread out the documents I was working with and the keyboard I was using, and could get up and take a quick break whenever I felt like it, just to stretch my legs, go to the bathroom without asking, grab a quick bit of food, or whatever. I could snack at my desk as I saw fit. While they preferred I not take personal calls at work, it was similarly acceptable to momentarily step out to answer important calls. They were more concerned I moved a bunch of papers than I sat obediently at my desk every second of every day. The only difference is that I wasn't sat next to a window, but across a cubicle farm from one, but I could clearly see out a bank of windows if I lifted my head a bit from my desk.

The district my kids are in is even earlier, we're at a very high latitude, and on paper the reasoning is so that even in the darkest days of mid December the kindergartners travel time at the start and end of the day will be in sunlight.

The same bus that carries a high school kid between 6am and 7am carries a grade school kid from 8am to 9am (roughly). Its actually even more complicated because we stagger grade school, middle school, and high school, so there's a middle school run from 7am to 8am in between. Rather than three times as many buses and drivers each only working two hours a day, they all put in pretty much an 8 hour working day split shifts.

Unofficially its all about high school sports and away games travel time, also somewhat optimistically getting in a practice or maybe even a game/meet before a "normal-ish" dinner time.
