If you go at the end of her talk, people in the room asked these very two questions.
Actually there are 4 kinds of users.

- Those who don't care and will never care

- Those who don't care but will care in the future

- Those who care now and will care in the future

- Those who care now and will not care in the future.

The first one is common.
The second one does happen.
The third one is more common than the fourth.

I think the amount of users this will affect is greater than you expect.
The Florida standardized math tests and the SAT have fill-in math questions as well as multiple choice. Teachers themselves can choose whether the students must show their work for their tests. In my experience, most only check the answer, but some do check the work.
Nice branding!
Oops, I probably should've put "Show HN:" in front of my submission.
I absolutely agree with this.

For anyone curious about how psychiatry is bought and paid for by pharmaceutical companies, read the book "Mad in America" by Robert Whitaker. He looks at studies of the long-term outcomes for schizophrenia patients who are treated with drugs versus those who aren't given drugs. What he finds is that schizophrenics who never take psychiatric drugs have overwhelmingly better long-term outcomes than those that do.

This isn't a mere selection effect either; the studies track cohorts of people who were given the same prognosis (bad, medium, or good) at the beginning of their course of treatment. In each cohort except for the most severe, individuals who were treated with drugs experienced some short-term relief but fared far worse than the non-drug subgroup over the long run.

The psychiatry establishment has a long and ugly history of suppressing alternative treatments which emphasize little/no drug use. There is a massive vested financial interest in the status quo treatment of keeping schizophrenics on drugs for as long as possible. In my opinion it's the most criminal act being perpetrated today on a systemic basis by a supposedly respectable profession. Forget about Wall Street blowing up the economy with collateralized debt obligations or politicians underfunding pension obligations to the tune of billions of dollars; psychiatrists are literally preying on the brains of the mentally ill in direct contradiction to the evidence of which treatments work best, all so they can line their pockets with money.

One concrete example: a study by the World Health Organization found that schizophrenics in the US and other developed countries fared much worse than schizophrenics throughout the developing world. What's the common thread among treatment of schizophrenics in the developed world vs those in the developing world? Drug use.

This issue strikes near to me since I had a run-in with a psychiatrist when I was much younger due to anxiety issues/mild psychotic symptoms which have since been resolved with age and quitting a job which I hated. He kept pressuring me to take drugs, but when I showed him the aforementioned study his response to me was astounding: "Well, I haven't personally seen that in people I've treated." His entire basis of selecting a course of action was anecdotal data!

Nope, none of what you describe equates to 'complexity', there just happens to be more 'stuff' (unless you consider other, more popular languages with even more tools/libraries to be even more complex, in which case we have different viewpoints on what that word means in this context).

Sure, not everything is in opam and that can be quite frustrating but the improvements over the last few years have done a lot to reduce the pain that people experience (not increase it). Seriously, would you rather have the old ecosystem back? I know a large number of devs who would be quite hostile to that idea.

The standard library question isn't new and has been going on for some time but the options now are substantially better then they ever have been. Ask around and get feedback from others on what might suit your needs best. Until the community naturally converges on something, this is just how it is.

> "And unfortunately, it didn't work on my particular mac with homebrew."

So what went wrong? The instructions for homebrew are two lines and my experience here was flawless. The slew of instructions you point at are largely for Linux distros and most of those are also only a few lines. Were you trying any of these? It's clear that the install page you point to needs work (who still uses fink?) but in most cases it's just a time-consuming process, rather than a difficult one (i.e you just sit there while things compile). If something goes wrong, then reporting it on the list [1] or issue tracker [2] will help others to fix it.

Many ideas from the Semantic Web are currently in use. The overall advance right now is in what is called "Semantic Enterprise" where everyone knows what everyone else is working on via knowledge modeling.

Every time you do a Google/Bing search you can see metadata returned. Projects like DBpedia and OpenCyc are huge and will become more important as more devices are networked.

It is unlikely that AI will be able to disambiguate concepts from a raw text corpus like a book (indexing) at the quality of a human specialist any time soon. Perhaps with some recent advances in quantum computing the raw horsepower will arrive.

"DBell is one of the best programmers on the planet."

How would one verify this?

I tried a couple of his sample C programs.

One of them was one source and one header file and compiled easily and quickly. A+. But then I looked at what the program did and realized I had written several iterations of the same utility myself years ago, using only the shell, sed, tr and ed or vi. I guess maybe his point of writing this in C is that he envisions a system that lacks those programs?

Then I tried another sample, which was a little more complex.

It failed to compile. Looks like he assumed Linux but failed to state the program is not portable. F.

I am always on the lookout for truly great C programmers.

Is DBell really as good as Noll says?

"Europeans have fewer cases of reflux than we do, even though many of them eat late. That’s most likely from portion control. In France, for example, a serving of ice cream is typically a single modest scoop, while in America, it’s often three gargantuan scoops."

> The disadvantage is, that while LaTeX has an excellent support for PDF or PS its support for e.g. EPUB is awful.

Well, yeah, but ePub is just a packaging format for HTML as input to a system that does its own layout and pagination, LaTeX is a layout/pagination system. Using it to generate ePub makes about as much sense as using ePub reading system to generate LaTeX.

It'd be better to just have end-user device-side apps that compiled LaTeX to PS/PDF/etc. after plugging in a device-appropriate page size, using LaTex as the distribution format and the rendered format as the viewing format than to use LaTeX to generate ePub

It would be a totally nonsense link but I've seen even weirder ones (such as sharing a name with a terrorist, as if names are supposed to be unique somehow).
Too much long-form content on the web
Many pundits lament that twitter and other micro blogging services have created an 'ADHD' environment where longer form content is being neglected, but I see an opposite trend of too much 'long form' content, which is promoted using short-form content. So someone will tweet or post on a link on Reddit to one of many uneneding 'long form' articles published by one of many popular sites such as Vox, Salon, etc. The problem is these huge articles are sometimes a chore to read, and you have to wade through pages of historical and philisophical preface before you get to the substance. It's like there 's an article about American's obcession with speed, but before I can get to the heart of the matter or the author's personal take or solution, I first have to read through 500 years of history and what philosophers and historians thought of the issue. It's like an infomercial where the host goes on about the problem that the trinket is supposed to solve and then in the last 5 minutes mentions the trinket. If something is unique and interesting there is no need to embellish it with 2000 words of introductory prose. And then even if the premise of the article is interesting, reading 4000 words of fluff will make me too tired to want to learn more.
What do you do when a drive goes bad? Do you move ~50TB of data, pull the entire pod out of the rack, and then try to determine which of 45 drives is bad?
Almost all of the Internet players that provide "free" storage and/or email/photo services are actually performing information gathering for the state. To use any of these services, you have to provide personal information. So the public is providing two sets of information. One set identifies the user and the other set contains their day to day activities. It's actually quite creepy the way some of these players crosslink their services and share login credentials. I have this strong mental image of "analysts" combing through this information looking for "interesting" patterns. To say the public is woefully uninformed about the real purpose of this information storage/gathering is breathtaking.
I also thought of Bunch. We were/are doing something related (but not really) at ReplyAll.me so I had kept track of your company. Were you a dev there?

Your example assumes that you can inline the calls to a and b. If you can't (for example if one of them calls themselves) then your optimization won't work.
And if you're flying someone half way around the world and paying for lodging and personal expenses while they are there -- it seems you paying them at least $9/hour (the CA minimum wage) while they are there would not be a significant additional expense. That's what I'm wondering about this story.
> Sounds shockingly good, so I have to wonder if the compressor is basically an ablative heat shield and this is good for only a few runs.

The compressor isn't the part of the engine which gets really hot here; that would be the turbine. In these kinds of engines the turbine is typically made out of Inconel, which has no problems handling the ~800C exhaust gas temperature seen at maximum thrust. Preventing the EGT from exceeding a specified limit is the main job of the engine computer, so this is not a common failure mode.

The service interval on Jetcat turbines is 25 hours (some manufacturers specify 50-hour intervals, or even longer), for which the significant portion the work involved is a bearing replacement.

While the thrust-to-weight ratio does seem very good, keep in mind that the quoted weight of 3.1 lbs is likely to not include ancillaries (engine computer, battery and mounting hardware). Also, lubrication is provided by oil mixed in with the fuel rather than a closed-loop oiling system.

A thrust-to-weight ratio of 10:1 is impressive, but not out of line with what you'd expect to see from a full-sized turbojet. On the other hand, the thrust-specific fuel consumption for these engines is much worse than a full-sized engine due to the much lower pressure ratio.
I'm burning my Florida Mom action figure in protest
Deposit less than $10,000 dollars at a time and the IRS seals your bank deposit - no evidence no charges required! ISIS chops heads off but IRS is chopping its own head off. Trust has gone, common sense, gone, justice gone. Picking on Mum and Pop businesses that deposit less than $10 000 and confiscating the money is a sickness. I have studied the constitution and casual violation of the amendments by authorities for mad reasons is a sure way to destroy the USA. Then ISIS can step in. My idea is to VOTE somebody in that ENFORCES THE CONSTITUTION so that violations require capital punishment BACKDATED! That would be fair and legal and can save the USA instead of kill it. It seams that applying laws because of criminals that clobber innocent people is brain less. Come to England and start your own business - you pay about 20% TAX. Please come away from the USA about to destroy itself.

So the conclusion that can be drawn from the article is that if you can't control your portions, eat early. If you can control your portions, as she says Europeans do, then it's fine to eat late.

So then the issue really at hand isn't eating time, it's portion size.
The one big positive side to MOOCs is that they offer breadth (even if it's somewhat watered down). My own real life academic curriculum is 90% pure math, with programming and theoretical physics covering the other 10%, and having a wide range of interesting and diverse MOOCs lets you see what else is out there :)

Just FYI, are you aware that when you create an email the draft is also stored on the server unless you explicitly choose not to?

All of these things are just normal. It's not like an evil mastermind decided that there was the need to access your unsaved documents.

I mean, you can still get angry about it but it seems pointless since you (probably) already use all of the google services that are available.

Also, a "security researcher" should know better :)
I've been programming (dabbling, to be honest) in LISP since about 1980, I've never shipped any products in it. I wrote a couple of toy interpreters in college (after reading Allan's Anatomy of LISP) and some small projects, but nothing massive.

I read SICP when it first came out and did most of the exercises. Yet Scheme was a terrible language to ship software in (commercial implementations were basically toys). I assume that Common LISP was a lot better, but the real packages were expensive.

I guess the real problem is that I didn't have cow-orkers who understood my obsession with LISP, nor did I work on any projects that I could really use it for. Could have switched companies, I suppose, but I liked working on operating systems . . .
I disagree. The issue at hand is both, and they are handled in different ways by different people.
I don't know what Backblaze does, but if I were building their infrastructure I wouldn't care if a disk goes bad. They are a backup solution, it is a write once, read almost never. It's pure cold storage. 99.99% of their time after they are filled they will be powered down sitting in a rack waiting for someone to come fetch the data.

As long as they have stored my data across multiple replicas, then there is no caring if one of the drives goes bad...

Facebook post that led to the resignation of Estonian finance minister today
Estonian finance minister Jürgen Ligi (Reform Party) announced his resignation today after his insulting Facebook post towards education minister Jevgeni Ossinovski (Social Democratic Party) stirred a conflict inside coalition.

Here is the Facebook post (translated from Estonian into English, published on http://news.postimees.ee/2966989/words-by-minister-trigger-political-scandal):

«Ossinovski’s «balance» is nothing but rootlessness and ignorance. The man thinks that history begun with him and in all topics he follows the selfsame ugly cliché about the former govt [being] this and that, and now he has home. Totally mixing up [historic] patterns and guilt of the state. This time, in the context of links between emigration and historic heritage. This very ignorance in the issue we began with is the main stimulus for the youth to leave. A minister should say it pays to be patient and try hard, we are doing ever better (not so with Finland, you see); he says Soviet rule is not to be blamed, he will fix it. An immigrant’s son from a pink [political] party, he ought to be top cautious, but he’s oblivious to [even] take a look.»

The insult "An immigrant’s son from a pink [political] party" was taken very seriously by all members of the cabinet (specifically that he referred to Ossinovski's heritage, being an immigrant's son) and although minister Ligi apologized publicly several times, he nevertheless announced his resignation today.
Ah, I see, from Japan. Cool, thanks for the links. I'll add them.

Now I talk with two people simultanously, switching between russian and english (qwerty) every sentence
