I believe a vingtile is like a quartile, except that there are 20 of them instead of 4 (vingt = 20 in French). So I'm guessing each bucket contains an equal number of counties, rather than being an equal size.

I sometimes use CoffeeScript for personal stuff, but have mostly moved back to plain JavaScript even for that. And yet I find this one of the silliest articles about why not to use it. You've explained why very well.

The main reason I moved back to plain js is that:
1. I can't really get used to significant whitespace. But that's mostly just taste.
2. CoffeeScript is a bit too ambiguous for me at times. It makes me feel the same way Ruby On Rails does. But that might also just be a personal preference.

That said, I really miss a lot that CoffeeScript offers. Can anyone recommend a similar and ideally popular project that offers much of what CS has (brevity and comprehensions being among the main things) without the significant whitespace, and without the ambiguities?

The thin line between playing 'great' and playing 'good'
Quote from pro pool player Mika Immonen:

It is a thin line between playing great and just playing good. I think there is an irony in the feeling. The thing is, when I feel like I'm playing my best- I focus on really respecting every moment at the table.
Usually the pitfall of "great" into just "good" is when you get overconfident. Watch out. All of a sudden you might take an easy shot for granted. We all know how that feels.
So instead, really focus on visualizing everything beforehand, go through the step by step pre-shot routine and aim. Really get your stroke going. Nice long strokes. Feel your breath. Experience a flash of the positive affirmation that "this is it". Pull trigger.
Process should be the same on every shot. There is no rush. Time loses it's significance. You are in the zone. --Don't ever get too comfortable. Kind of like a suspension rope walk. No matter how good you did, one wrong step could lead to disaster. In pool that would be called unforced error.
Respect all, fear none. That goes for shots too. Just love the challenge it presents.
So go forth, enjoy... But hold those reigns tight. always. Don't let yourself run empty until the last shot.
Remember...Courage is not the absence of fear...It is the conquest of it.
Great feedback. How does a consultant do effective marketing/sales towards these organizations? It really seems like a consultant has to "strike when the iron is hot" and be there when there is a problem that needs a solution.

I find myself zoning out completely when listening to radio in my target language.

What are your views on that?
Well, that's why you use a library.

What's important is that it's easy to read and write. And that's yet another reason to standardize you language, so that you don't need to trade legibility over parseability, because you'll only need to write the parser once.

The only problem I see with that is that some programs use turing-complete configuration languages, while for most of them that'd be a bug, not a feature. One just can not standardize all *nix tools in one configuration language... maybe two, but not one.
Nicole Campbell is not a journalist, so yes, very different standards apply to her when she is given a voice in a newspaper.

She has no career to lose and so must be far more open about her relationship. It's bizarre that HuffPo thought it was even appropriate to publish the story given that relationship, in traditional newspapers you would expect it to appear in the letters section not as an article.
Wasn't aware of the C65. I'd not have bought one myself. In 1990/1991 there were a lot better machines on the market.

Unfortunately my only Commodore experience was the Amiga 2000. That lasted a mere year before it was replaced by an Acorn A440/1 which was an 8MHz ARM2, 4Mb RAM and 40Mb hard disk'ed monster. That lasted until Windows NT3.51 came out for me to give you an idea how powerful it was.

Nice to see someone giving the C65 some headspace and time though. Especially when you think of the man hours that went into the original.

I guess we'll see if people find it useful - the point of this is: there is current NO structured meta-data about APIs out on the web and that will be needed if we're one day goingto find APIs with all their associated elements as easily as we can web pages today.

Hence the format http://www.apisjson.org (it's basically sitemap for APIs) and the search engine http://www.apis.io. The search engine is also open source so you can run your own, format is completely open.

So if we (3scale) get some benefit I won't be unhappy - but if more people start posting API info then it'll benefit everyone.

The heat is certainly part of the energy storage in lightsail, if the heat generated by the compression wasn't being stored in water and then fed back in during expansion then that energy would be lost.

Is just that with lightsail it is a minor part of the storage, the majority being pressure. They are two very different solutions that approach two similar but differently structured thermodynamic problems, lightsail's system being high pressure/low temperature, and these folk doing a low pressure/high temperature store.
> I'm just not that into the spaceship thing

That spaceship thing is just a graphical representation to a very complex social simulation. Most people would keep playing EVE if CCP changed it into "Goat Simulator Online".

1. "Before training, the Marines reported more balanced mood levels than average college-aged men. By the time they finished, they described mood symptoms comparable to those of psychiatric patients. Ninety days later, they were just as sad and agitated."

Maybe the physical and phychlogical beat down has something
to do with mood? Plus--the realization that the military is
not quite what it promised?

2. "Serotonin, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, helps stabilize emotions." I guess that's fact these days?
Maybe you should include all the studies, along with the
metadata, and make these magical claims?

3."By Renshaw's estimates, the brain makes about 20% more dopamine in the mountains." That's quite an estimation on
a neurotransmitter that we can't even test for.

4. "SSRIs are probably no more effective than prescription-plan tic tacs." Maybe that should be the title of the article, and redact every other sentence?

5. "You tell me how Salt Lake City and Las Vegas have the same culture." You can't use Nevada(maybe the most depressed state in the nation) as a control. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas--your liver, you savings, your dignity.

6. "But 30 years after seasonal affective disorder got its name, SAD sufferers plant themselves in front of light boxes to combat the winter doldrums without anyone raising any eyebrows." Again, it's still just a theory. I've never seen a Psychiatrist pull a light box out of his locked box
of sample medications.

7. "When it comes to subjects as biologically and environmentally thorny as mental health and suicide, Renshaw said, the answer is always more research." Fine--apply for
a grant and investigate the suicide rate among the Sherapas.

8. I'm all for research, but keep it tight. Your audience
is not as nieve as we were in the 90's.

9. Personally, I found the disparity of income in the mountians of Utah very depressing. The wealthy moved in
and prices from lift tickets, rent, eating out all went up.

investments/money over the more important things in life.

Linux (and yes, FreeBSD) really needs something that provides that kind of functionality. It needs this so much that distros are wiling to put up even with systemd to get it.

The only problem is that systemd is a bad piece ("piece"? Or rater "lot"?) of software.
Take OCaml for comparison: It has a more or less reasonable way of extending the language with an extensible parser camlp4 that ultimately yields a fixed AST. No one would get the idea to use it just for fun, or one-shot abstractions, but it is integrated into the toolchain well enough that you can reliably distribute libraries that use syntax extensions. The general attitude that "coders are dumb, we need to protect them from themselves" lead to the development of mediocre languages like Java. Compare that to something like Racket, where despite some flaws most of the macros provide an obvious and very real benefit, without overcomplicating the compiler (for example the match macro, or the macros that constitute the C-FFI). Ideally in my eyes a language should provide the programmer with maximal possible expressiveness without compromising a core simple design.
The Science of Simplicity: Why Successful People Wear the Same Thing Every D
For better or worse, systemd has adopted the OpenBSD approach to portability. Nothing is stopping you from creating a systemd-portable project, similar to how OpenSSH-portable makes OpenSSH usable on non-OpenBSD platforms.

As to logind, it may have been a better choice for the long term to do a separate implementation of the public and stable logind DBus API instead of trying to run the systemd-logind implementation without systemd as PID1, but supposedly whoever did the latter thought it was the best short-term choice.
I think it's better to know about the existence of a problem, that it has solutions, and that the solutions can be applied to similar problems, than it is to know any given problem and solution in depth.

When you have a breadth of knowledge, you know where to look to start your implementation - or better yet, use someone else's implementation, until it's not good enough, which may never happen.

The risk with knowing a few things well is that you may be ignorant of of the existence of similar problems and know that they already have good solutions. Meta-knowledge, as you put it, is generally more likely to be useful than specific knowledge, unless you have specific knowledge about a lot of things - which is unlikely unless you've got a lot of experience.
Ok, so this makes a lot of sense for renewable sources of energy like wind and solar - production facilities that are distant from bodies of water can store surplus energy during peak production times (windy or sunny days) and then use that stored surplus when production is stagnant (calm days or at night).

The current practice is to use surplus energy to pump water into a reservoir during peak production, and then converting it to hydro-electric power later when production is stagnant. The Isentropic advantage is that you don't need a reservoir to store the energy, the storage system can be build regardless of geography.

I have two questions:

1. What kind of insulation does it take to keep the gravel hot or cold enough to store the energy for a long time? Is the energy lost due to natural thermodynamic processes comparable to energy lost due to evaporation in a pumped-hydro storage system?

2. If the storage system is geographically independent, could it be moved in an energy efficient manner? The problem with almost every energy source we have right now is that it has to be close to the population it serves. On the other hand, if we could generate everyone's electricy as solar energy in Nevada or nuclear energy hundreds of miles from populations, and then move it to distribution plants, then we could answer a lot of energy questions.
Your trucks are probably aluminum and will be fine, and you can run sealed bearings. Riding in the wet really isn't such a big deal. The biggest problem is spray off of the wheels.
There's also, even though I'm not sure whether its still going, TI Deals[1] where they will sometimes throw out dev boards for next to nothing, as well as other products such as the Chronos for well below their actual retail price. They also offer free international 2 day shipping on those items, or have done so in the past.

The Lovelace 2.0 Test of Artificial Creativity and Intelligence [pdf]
> Sorry, it was not my intent to "play this up as a bogeyman"

Okay, my apologies as well then. It was hard to get a read from just that one sentence with the word kernel emphasized.

> (Do audio devices support floating point formats nowadays?)

Natively, no. You can be lazy and do it anyway in software mixing though.

> I just find it amusing how a monolithic design of doing all audio stuff in the kernel is held up by some as an example of reliability and as superior to a more modular design that is more in line with the UNIX philosophy.

Certainly, it would be ideal if everything non-critical were in user space. But audio in the kernel is probably at the very bottom of the list. Audio mixing is maybe 0.0001% of the kernel code, and is some of the safest, simplest arithmetic code imaginable. It's worrying about the one ant you saw on the counter when your entire house is infested with termites.

> About the KMS however, I've heard that DisplayPort link training has latency requirements that are difficult to meet in anything but a kernel interrupt handler

I don't know if that's true or not, but I am running a DisplayPort monitor (ZR30w) now without KMS, and it works fine. Obviously the video driver is still running in kernel mode, but at least it's a module outside of the kernel itself that runs after my system is booted.

What I'd really like to see is distros and vendors instead relying on UEFI GOP for boot-time mode setting.

> Also X servers have traditionally needed direct PCI bus access to get the hardware initialized

Well, compare it to audio. Eventually even a userland mixer will have to send the samples through some sort of hardware interface. But if your goal is stability, then it would be ideal to get as much code out of the kernel as possible.

> and to what extent due to actual technical limitations and additional complexity of a microkernel architecture.

Certainly nothing is ever perfect. There are so many potential problems with computers. Cosmic rays can flip bits in your RAM if you don't shell out an extra $500 for the premium CPU, mainboard and ECC RAM. Strong enough power surges (lightning) can burn through and destroy absolutely any running computing equipment. Hardware can literally fail and take down your system. Things can overheat, there can be design flaws in the silicon itself, etc.

So I look at it like OpenBSD looks at security. You want to stack all the protections you can. Mirror your drives, use ECC RAM, don't run anything in kernel space you don't have to, try and build as much redundancy and safety as you can into the system. It won't be perfect, but every bit will help increase uptime.

...

So again, sure, audio should preferably be in user space. Just, it's many thousands of times worse that video isn't even trying to do this, and is in fact going in the opposite direction to become more tightly coupled with the kernel.
IMHO Capsicum has significant potential to provide similar real-word security improvements in a far simpler way than SELinux (once the relevant profiling of daemons is done); there was some work by somebody at Google to port it to Linux and I hope that will be usable sometime soon.
To avoid violating this principle, the commonly accepted industry best practice to never change anything at all.

I agree that it is reasonable for people to disagree with their company being characterized as misogynistic. However, I continue to believe that responding to reasonable accusations of sexism by spinning elaborate fantasies of revenge against a woman could reasonably be taken as further evidence of sexism. (I also believe that it's deeply improper to try to keep journalists from journalism: the First Amendment includes press because they are a foundational part of a functioning democracy. But that's mostly beside the point here.)

Do I believe that one can in good faith believe that current concerns about sexism are a witch hunt? (Note that "hysteria" is an unfortunate word choice here in that it was an imaginary disease used to smear women for centuries, and the name itself is rooted in the notion that having lady parts makes you crazy.) Sure, I guess. In the same sense that I think one can have a good-faith belief that anthropogenic climate change isn't real. In both cases I think some are consciously acting in bad faith. But I think the bulk just don't know enough about the topic to have a valid opinion, so they run with the one that's politically and/or personally convenient for them to have.

As a guy, I get it: the shift from thousands of years of male domination to something more equitable feels like a loss. We quite literally didn't have to think about how women would take things. Now suddenly our speech and actions are having consequences they didn't used to have. It's easy to feel that we get in trouble for saying "normal" things. But it didn't work the other way: women always had to be conscious of how men would take what they said.

The system of beliefs and behaviors that punished women for speaking up and speaking out is on the wane, but as we see with Kathy Sierra, it's still powerful. Until it's destroyed, I think everybody has an obligation to help end it, or at least stay out of the way. And when people do things that look a lot like supporting and continuing that system (as Michael did here) they should not be surprised when people do not look charitably upon that.
You're deflecting. Creating a bunch of scenarios where other things than just the capital raise happen that impact the valuation of the company. In the simple case of a 90$ capital raise in a company that was previously worth 10$. Nothing else changes. What happens to the price in your opinion?
