>For instance, a lot of citations in my field (theoretical CS) are "attribution citations" that point the reader to the original paper that introduced a concept or proved a result

This is also common in modern biology. As the recent "Top 100 Papers" article in Nature News noted [1], the most cited papers in the life sciences are highly biased toward methods development.

The most cited paper is a great case study, the majority of molecular biologists have probably used some variation of the Lowry method, but I'm fairly certain most of them haven't actually read the original paper. However, it remains as an "attribution citation," whenever a Lowry-like method is used to quantify protein.

Unfortunately I don't have time to respond to all of this, but you make some really good/interesting points.

On the original point, I kind of agree with you, but there are two edge cases that immediately come to mind. The first is where we see an individual (heated) comment thread where someone takes deep offense and/or fears for their life. There's probably a point in that situation that should constitute actual illegal harassment. The second is kind of the reverse, where we see someone 'follow' someone else around, but not deliberately. They may have continued arguments/disagreements over the same topic across the internet by virtue of the fact that they are both heavily invested in that topic. So yeah, vague lines somewhat moderated by intent and how vitriolic the discussions are.

Second, your "human mind model"/"internal representations" idea is well studied. I don't know how much you know about this, but generally this is grouped under the idea of "Mental Models", and the idea has been around for decades. I've studied them in the context of how students learn to code. They're crucial in programming because we have to form a whole lot of correct mental representations of an inherently abstract concept (in which, yes, we compartmentalise). It's an incredibly interesting area of work.

In terms of how they form the basis of human interaction, that's a little more complex (and well outside my 'expertise', if you can call it that), but intuitively I doubt you're far off.
Great map!

I go to school in St. Louis and think that it really shows what the situation is like. Here is a map I just created:
http://i.imgur.com/uz9Pbhx.jpg

Red box - Forest Park (the big park in the middle of the city)

Green shape - Lambert International Airport (Ferguson is about a mile to the east)

Purple line - City limits -- you can clearly see that St. Louis County and St. Louis city have very different demographics.

Blue line - Imaginary line of segregation. Its a few block north of Forest Park, its not as clear on Google maps, but its very distinct on the dot map.
To be pedantic: if you're going to be all Economics about it, you can't say the world demands 2 million metric tons, because demand is a function of price. If the price goes up the quantity actually demanded will go down...
This article is slanted to an owner's point of view: the firm can't make huge profits if there's perfect competition. The rest of us do want perfect competition, and the author admits that, albeit rather deep in the article:

But perfect competition does maximize the combined consumer and producer surplus from a given product.

The author also believes in a falsehood:

Nullifying patents (or any other kind of intellectual property) would crush the incentives to innovate, and we’d never get any new products.

This isn't true. Holland and Switzerland deliberately industrialized without patents (http://www.amazon.com/Industrialization-Without-National-Pat...).

This article therefore advocates for setting "intellectual property" controls too far towards the owner/firm's favor.
Since this is 1995, pixels didn't map 1-to-1 to phosphors on the CRT. Now with LED and LCD displays they do. Not that this invalidates the paper, but it certainly adds some context.

What a hack! They have an "automatic patch generator" which "fixes" programs with buffer overflows and dangling pointers. (Ref: https://github.com/emeryberger/DieHard/blob/master/docs/pldi...) If a buffer overflow is detected, the code is patched to make the buffer bigger. If a dangling pointer (use after free) is detected, a time delay is inserted so that the buffer is released some time later than the "free" call.

That this is useful is a good argument to get out of C/C++ and into Go, or Rust, or just about anything with subscript checking.
Aah, crossings of numbered streets. You must be living in the US? Numbered streets are relatively rare in the world. I invite you to Google the street names in Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands. That logic won't work there.

However, despite your not so well chosen example I do agree that this solution isn't my main view of the future. I think in a few years we will have Internet everywhere, even outside the boundaries of our country. I kind of have it, even when travelling (work or holidays). But I understand I'm still a minority. Once this happens we just WhatsApp, message, send our location via our mobile device. The other person clicks it and is navigated to your location.

every six months have a citizen ballot voting whether to return funds seized or allow the department to use the funds for specified purposes

keep - 2 million in cash from a child pornography ring

return - 2500$ taken from an individual pulled over for a traffic violation without a citation or criminal charge

if the funds are voted to be returned then the department has to pay interest to the original owner of the seized assets

set the interest's equivalent to something that remains contemporary over time, alike a 401k investment equivalent, or if the funds were in an IRA, etc.

AT&T pulls 'supercookie' tracking code after backlash
> I get it. The system is broken, and there are no good choices to vote for (when a race is even contested at all), so why bother? Except that the reason why the system is broken in the first place is that no one shows up at any stage of the game.

The system is broken, but I think it's broken in a different way than what you're suggesting. It's not broken because people don't show up to vote. On the contrary, people don't show up to vote because the system is broken, and it's not just broken because there are only two relevant parties and corporations exert a lot of influence. It's broken because many people correctly calculate that the impact of their individual vote has less value than the cost of physically voting, and even less so than the cost of educating themselves about the candidates and issues.

The democracy in the US is especially broken for more specific reasons (like the two-party dominance and gerrymandering), but democracy in general is a bad way to aggregate the preferences of a large and diverse group of people.

A little bit of background for the paper and a brief summary might be beneficial:

The author is Alvy Ray Smith. He's one of the pioneers of computer graphics (http://en.wikipedia.org1/wiki/Alvy_Ray_Smith).

As the author states in the introduction:
"If you find yourself
thinking that a pixel is a little square, please read this paper."

To get from the point to the squares -interpretation you need to read a little bit forwards:

"Sampling Theorem tells us that we can reconstruct a continuous entity from such
a discrete entity using an appropriate
reconstruction filter"

This might be proper background reading before or after reading the paper:

Um, sorry but .. no. They do not just magically 'map 1-to-1', and that is anyway not the point. The point is: a pixel is not a point. It is a window.
Emacs is pretty decent, yep. It remains my editor of choice. From what I've read over the years it's a paradigm of poor design under the hood however.
> One is that end-to-end system semantics matter much more than the semantics of an individual building block, and sometimes what seems like a very desirable semantic for a building block may end up making the end-to-end problem harder. The other is that simple, practical, solutions like unique IDs can make really hard problems much easier, and allow us to build and ship real systems that work in predictable ways.

These assertions that I tend to follow most of the time. I keep warning my team members to never assume that a request for payment/fulfillment/some-business-function is going to arrive exactly once. If they build systems assuming that underlying scaffolding is going to behave in certain way then they won't be designing for failure. In any distributed system it's very important to define correctness from the end user's perspective. And then design for failure ensuring that the correctness guarantees are not violated.

>Yes, I did. But I don't need to keep proving it.

It's a bit different when we're talking about a blog post versus twitter conversations, no? You made the assertion that GamerGate supporters were responsible for all of that harassment.

>Gaters say "OK, reporting him!" and that's the end of the story for them. That's the most they want to do. Never mind that reporting someone for harassment has to be done by the person being harassed.

ToS violations should cover that, right? Maybe that's what they're talking about.

I'm sorry that you got harassed by ED, weev, and a bunch of other no-lifes. I'm not sure how it's supposed to be fundamentally dealt with, however. Therein lies the problem.

Forena[1] is a Drupal module that has the following features:

1. Connect to any relational database with a PDO supported database (SQLite, MySQL, MS SQL, etc).
2. Write SQL to create tabular reports or charts in SVG

This is not a solution for everyone but works well for me because I use Drupal to store meta data about the reports and graphs I created using Forena

Yes I am aware of the recent security issues with Drupal.

> As someone who doesn't vote, let me explain why. It's not because I'm cynical. It's because I'm fine with whoever wins. Both parties are pretty close to each other on the issues I care about.

The main thing missing in C++ to do functional programming, as mentioned by John Carmack in http://gamasutra.com/view/news/169296/Indepth_Functional_pro... is lack of a 'pure' keyword to enforce it.

Experience with the 'pure' keyword in D has been overwhelmingly positive.
Because most college students are not poor in the sense that they grew up poor and still are poor. And college students who grew up poor are much more likely to leave college midway through, which is an obvious effect of dealing with ever-looming stress, health problems, and trauma that people from a poor background are much more likely to deal with.

It's impossible to go to college or enter the workforce and just switch off all the bad things in your past and present. From my experience a lot of my college friends who left midway through had family problems, often financial or health problems. Again this is stuff that poor people go through much more, and it negatively impacts their ability to hold down a job, finish college, and succeed in general.

It's a complicated issue but you seem to have no desire to understand it further than "get off your ass, get a job, and stop being poor".

And I strongly disagree that the US needs more police.

Surveillance is inevitable and if data and access are open, then I'm relatively at ease with it.

Edit: Crime is minimally related to poverty? I don't know how you can justify that statement.

> make your process systematic and objective

You mean the crash test dummy example?
You can't automate the design of a new process, because the design of the automation in itself is the designing of a process which underlies human bias and blindness.

How exactly are you going to make the process of a female being called a "scene whore" on IRC as soon as the mob find out she's female make more "systematic and objective"?
I think you mixed up the different examples here.
It's not about being "programmers" but rational human beings. You knew beforehand that you were making a generalization and were subsequently called out on it, so to speak. Your clarification here should have been in the parent comment to begin with.

>A fluffy feel good piece about how the elite are on your side. Bullshit through and through.

These guys aren't the elite. The elite are from a different generation, and different industries. This is part of their play to replace them with the new generations.

And this is the US system "functioning as intended", btw.

> Yes we live in a Representative Democratic Republic. But I don't remember voting for the board of directors.

You don't have to vote for the board, the supreme court and constitution ensures the elite is always to have more say than you.

The US government was structured specifically to contain the power of the propertyless majority against the new propertied elite. You couldn't even vote if you weren't a property holder until at least 1850.

The founding fathers didn't like the UK aristocracy because it was hereditary and corrupt, but they certainly wanted to protect and grow that they and other minority "gentlemen" had collected.

There was a swing to more populist influence for the past century, but now with bipartisan distrust at a high, the Citizens United decision, and the very slow uptake of issues like Lessig's Mayday PAC, we are decades away from having any substantive progress on this. I'd underscore: by design. Give the power to the people, but not so much that the elite aren't first among equals.

(EDIT: clarity)

So, you made it to the middle of the second page?

Anti-aliasing is a direct result of the fact that pixels are point-samples--the idea is to combine multiple samples and weight them so that the collection of point samples (in the form of a frame buffer) still represents a perceptually-reasonable form of the image.
Vim is a modal editor, which means one keystroke doesn’t have the same meaning in one mode and in another. Emacs, on the other hand, doesn’t have all these modes, which is why you have to use modifier keys like ctrl/shift/alt to tell it what to do. That’s two paradigms, I’m not sure one is better than the other (note: I’m a Vim user).

Why Did Google Decide to Split Inbox from Gmail?
> is there some circmstance in which it wouldn't be sad to hear of that death of someone who "reinforce a rather negative stereotype of mathematicians"?

There was definitely some rejoicing after a maths professor at my university died. The most common succinct explanation of this was that he "represented everything wrong with mathematics as a discipline", and a large part of why that is bad is that it reinforced negative stereotypes. Not saying the rejoicing was justified or that the death of a human being isn't sad, but many did rejoice, for better or worse including me.

Not to say that Grothendieck's death was comparable. AFAIK he never sexually harassed anyone, or any of the other things said professor did.

Very interesting article. He does say some strange things, though, like "the device integrates over [blah]." Is there some natural phenomenon allowing it to compute the integral without resorting to approximating it by essentially using little squares? (perhaps the little squares are not directly related to squares on the image surface, but it's not entirely clear to me that they aren't just a few steps removed from that)

I think there is a slight overload of terminology here.

The samples in the source image, and the tiny light sources that vary in intensity and are driven by a voltage after the information in the bits in the source image has traveled through the display pipeline are two different things.

The author discusses the best way to think about the source image. It will get really awkward if we want to discuss imaging algorithms and have to define "my pixel is a square... if it's a bunch of weird shapes the transform is this... etc." It's easiest from this point of view to think of the source image as a lattice of point samples and figure out what the sampling function (our physical pixels) do to the image after we have figured out the math on the point sample source.
Could someone explain this in layman's terms? The abstract is a bit tough to follow; it appears the authors' first languages aren't English so for a non-physicist, following it is difficult.

I think "repeal economics" occurs at step 2.5, unless somehow customers can be forced to buy even more at the higher prices than they'd ordinarily want to. Step 3.5 is just sound business once you've got the customer base taken care of. :)

(Prices would have to fall if production increased even if there were a single end-to-end monopolist chocolate seller, because the consumers wouldn't want to buy the extra chocolate at the higher price.)
