> The confusion does not come from it being live (it's a web page, duh !), it comes from you taking a page about current status/faq for the public and consider it as the official mission's objectives list.

Absolutely not. I am of the opinion that having a public FAQ on a website being updated without any notices it is being updated (there is not even a mention such as "last updated xx/xx/xx") is going to lead to some confusion and rightfully so.

Thank you for taking me for an idiot that would believe a FAQ stands for a technical document for any project.

> The confusion does not come from it being live (it's a web page, duh !)

And I am the troll ? Of course the confusion comes from it being live without clearly stating it is.

I wonder what your reaction would be, for instance, if every poster around these parts would go on editing each of their posts according to the evolution of the topic being discussed because "hey, it's live, it's a webpage, duh!)".

> it comes from you taking a page about current status/faq for the public and consider it as the official mission's objectives list.

No, I don't. Please quote any of my posts that make you think so.
I've thought a lot about this as well. I really wish SF would separate out their runtime (and open source it!) & platform.

From my reading today it seems REBOL 3 and Red have semi-merged [1]. REBOL 3 extensions can be written in Red, and the communities seem to share the same online spaces and goals.

Red looks awesome in the long run, the main weirdness being its refusal to follow standard math operator precedence [2].

Although Red's macro/DSL buildup skips a ton of intermediate bloat, someone needs to write a normal server framework to interact with standard industry data sources. When it becomes easy to add a Red microservice to an architecture, Red can enjoy an explosion of adoption as Go has.

Washington state healthcare exchange shuts down on first day of enrollment
That's a fair point and we've changed the title to try to clarify it.
I have heard that people in post-acute care (think nursing homes) frequently end up taking Seroquel because it appears on their hospital discharge paperwork, despite never having any diagnosis of psychosis.

It turns out that certain hospital physicians find it a convenient sleep aide for use in the hospital, and the prescription unintentionally follows the patient, sometimes for months or years.

If so, I wonder if this is true for every language, then? For example, for C++, should gcc and clang emit binaries with jemalloc linked in?

I also use Xubuntu and have no complaints. It's stable and unobtrusive. Xfce is the desktop for people who don't like to think about their desktops. As an added bonus, Xubuntu is the same underlying version of Ubuntu that my production servers use.
the glibc allocator is based off of Doug Lea's malloc that was developed before multithreading was common. Optimizations for multiple threads + arenas were retrofitted on top of the existing code, whereas jemalloc was designed more recently from scratch for multi-threaded workloads, and was able to take advantage of recent research.
No, the number (if calculated correctly) is unbiased. But it's pretty hard to interpret. It's certainly doesn't measure what people typically understand by the terms productivity or efficiency.
That last is our ironclad excuse for running Ubuntu rather than the corporate install of Windows 7 ;-)
no - its not the job of the compiler to choose your memory allocator. There is talk, however, of replacing the current glibc allocator with jemalloc[1], which is the more appropriate place for that decision to be made.

> Reading his other comments on this thread, he's obviously a troll and/or someone who needs to criticize this mission or ESA. He is not having an actual debate, only repeating his points ignoring any answering element he gets.

1. I do not need to criticize this mission or ESA and I'd like you to quote any sentences that makes you think so (and yes I believe a FAQ page being live updated should state it is being updated as the situation evolves becaues if not it brings confusion).

2. I answer with honesty to every replies directly made to me. Feel free to point out anything you believe I willfully ignored.

3. Regarding the elements I got: I mostly saw a (rather stupid IMO) point about how a webpage is live tech. so its content is updated (are we really missing the difference between editorial content and packets on a network ?) and another about how I would be expecting blueprints and the smallest technical details from a webpage presenting itself as a FAQ. I find these ridiculous and quite condescending.

FWIW, I have been following the Rosetta mission for the past 6 years, had a nice chat a the Paris Air Show with some ESA members even though there never were any lectures about for the past 10 years there, and for the life of me I don't understand how you could believe I would troll about it. Or any other topic for that matter.

Whole Foods also opened the first full supermarket in downtown Detroit. Imagine a city of 700,000 people without a single supermarket.

Course they received millions in subsidies to do it. But the program was out there for awhile and no other supermarket chain would take the chance.

Whole Foods success was followed by other chains. However the other chains took the subsidies and built their supermarkets out on 8 mile which is the dividing line between Detroit and the suburbs. While the stores are technically within Detroit the suburbs are right across the street so their risk was much lower.

Nobody is questioning whether AES-GCM is a good algorithm or not, however you are using AES-GCM as part of a hand-rolled transport encryption protocol, and this is what's worrisome. Designing a transport encryption protocol is a difficult endeavor, and it seems you have skipped most of the steps (e.g. replay attack prevention) but suggest that it's irrelevant because other parts of the protocol provide security (e.g. the SWIM state machine).

This makes your protocol difficult to audit: someone concerned about potential attacks can't just look at your protocol in isolation, but has to factor the underlying protocol state machine into the security of your transport encryption protocol.

Normally, gentrification is a slow creep that happens on a block-by-block basis. This does not apply to Englewood. The Whole Foods is being built essentially in the heart of urban poverty in Chicago.
If you want to have fun exploring how compilers work, in your spare time after a hard day working in C++, what better way than to reimplement a language you know?

On the other hand, my projects in this vein are C++ projects but they implement functional languages or Scheme. I have implemented one parser that creates a syntax tree from a simple equational language, and several interpretive backends, such as SKI-combinator-based graph reduction and a TIM-based interpreter. I do care about the speed of the compilers I use for production code, but not for this work. The Scheme compiler I wrote was written to run on my own Scheme interpreter which was written in C++.

The reason I think most hobby compilers I know of don't go the way I've gone is that it takes tons and tons of research to find out how functional languages are implemented, and the Appel books are a bit daunting, too.
The title is misleading. Abilify is being prescribed for people who are already on SSRI's for depression because the combination helps accelerate recovery and not because these people need traditional anti-psychotic medicine. With this headline you give people a reason to be hesitant before asking for help.
I actually side entirely with Scott Adams. I feel like it's a really cliche and popular thing to say "Do what you love and success will follow", but it seems like objectively bad advice to pick your profession based on your passion.

We're all passionate about a lot of things that simply aren't commercially viable.

I sell rental application software for a living. It's necessary, a part of the industry, and not something I'm particularly passionate about in subject matter. I AM passionate about doing the absolute best job by a mile and providing the incontestably, incontrovertibly, unambiguously best option on the market for our customers.

Almost EVERYTHING I do (and the awesome people on my team do) has nothing specifically to do with rental application software. Rental application software is just a widget that we sell that has commercial value and therefore pays the bills.

What we do is: software delivery, customer service, operations, listening to our customers, and a bunch of other stuff that is immediately translatable to <any other widget>. But we do the absolute best in industry at those things.

So I'm not really passionate necessarily about "what I do" in the way people thing (rental application software), but we're really passionate about "what I do" in the way that I think of it (running the best damn business).

Rental application software is just this tiny, tiny, tiny kernel of a thing makes it easy to classify what we do into an industry or subject bucket -- but for what we deliver, what we think about, what we REALLY DO, that tiny kernel occupies less than 5% of our thoughts.

I have on more than one occasion heard founders (maybe in the process of pitching for investment dollars) say things like:

> "This is my life's work. I'm passionate about _____"

Where ________ is something like:

- accounting software
- restaurant POS systems
- online coupons

etc...

If they are saying that to convince someone you're all in on it, I get it. I've pitched/sold before. And don't get me wrong, those are important things for someone to do. It's just not really necessary or important to me that those are things that the founder is deeply passionate about.

Yes, I would MUCH rather invest in someone who is truly passionate about that boring thing. But:

1. If it's true, that person is probably awful boring (or alternatively, I have been blessed with really awesome and interesting friends!), and

2. Coupling your financial future to the commercial viability of "what you're passionate about" still strikes me as terrible advice, though admittedly feel-good advice that resonates with a generation of people accustomed to excess disposable income and who consequently have had the ability to pursue passions.

A few months ago I succumbed to a particularly drawn-out case of the hiccups. Two nights in, sleepless from constant hiccuping, I made it to the ER. The cause was heartburn, triggered by an earlier night of celebratory drinking, irritating my esophagus. The irritation was close enough to my diaphragm to stimulate it.

One dose of thorazine, given by the ER doctor, and the hiccoughs subsided. Thorazine dampens the vagus nerve. This was the intended effect. Less intended was my complete lack of motivation to do anything outside the confines of my apartment for the rest of the weekend. (I also took great interest in my neighbourhood parks, for once.)
I've had periods of insomnia. Personally, I liked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trazodone and it comes in generic. I've only ever needed to use it on a short-term basis.

Don't spread this lie. I know food deserts are a popular myth but there are plenty of grocery stores in the city of Detroit. Sure, they might not have a Kroger or Meijer but there are plenty of smaller grocery stores like Save A Lot and ethnic markets.

People don't really think everyone in Detroit lives on a diet of snack foods, $1 menu burgers, and fruit flavored soft drinks, do they?
Aged dough. That stuff is good.

I use a recipe for making loaves of plain old white bread that requires making a biga ahead of time (Cuisine at Home, Feb. 2003 p32-35). It's impossible to eat store-bought bread after that.

If anyone's curious about this specific recipe, I could either email you a scan or post it here.
Since you ask, I think that House of Paine copied much of the article from Sheryl Canter without offering her credit. Sheryl's article was clearly published in January 2010. But although http://www.houseofpaine.org has been archived by http://archive.org since 2005, the CastIron page does not appear until 2013: http://web.archive.org/web/20130517140647/http://www.houseof...

Other than your recollection, I can find no evidence that Sheryl plagiarized this article from HouseOfPaine.org. Additionally, the archived version of the first blog post from House of Paine confirms that they intend to republish copyrighted material of others without authorization:

This website contains copyrighted material the use of which

of the US Copyright Law.

http://web.archive.org/web/20090825155249/http://www.houseof...

While this statement doesn't offer any confirmation, it seems fair to say that their beliefs regarding fair use are not in line with the usual interpretation of the courts, and indicate at least a willingness to commit acts that others would typically refer to as plagiarism.
Math Proves It: Hipsters All Look the Same
This one is working out even better.
I hate it when individual articles are broken into pages for no good reason, but I like pagination for main/index pages.

The biggest problem I've had with this kind of scrolling is when something happens that makes the next "page" fail to load for whatever reason. Usually the only thing that can be done in that case is to reload the whole thing, and then tediously scroll back to where you were. It's gotten better in recent implementations, but it still happens from time to time.

It's also annoying when I need to catch up after a long time away (or if it's a site I haven't read before). Depending on the site and what else I have going on at the time, I might read a given site over the course of days or weeks. I do usually leave the tab or window open, but sometimes it gets closed or reloaded for one reason or another. And again, as you say, you can scroll to the first unfamiliar thing, but when it's the equivalent of 10 or 20 pages back, that's a pain. And it's even worse when the "it won't load anymore" problem happens.

It's a usability tradeoff, but I have had many more frustrating experiences with infinite scrolling over the past few years than I ever had with paginated indices in the 20+ years I've been using the web.

Culture is not primarily about aesthetics: it's about monkeys' mutual grooming. It's about aesthetics after the piece of culture has fulfilled subcultural needs. Is your typical metalhead going to choose an exquisite harp symphony over a pretty-good slab of loud metally rock'n'roll? Probably not.

The article was mostly talking about popular art, not art made specifically for experts. Most people are just looking for some simple thrills, which they can get from old stuff just as well as from new stuff.
