I think you've misquoted Vidra:

The friction escalated with the arrival of Vidra, who is said to have complained to Foer that the magazine was boring and that he couldn’t bring himself to read past the first 500 words of an article.

The more likely meaning here is that Vidra couldn't read more than 500 words of a boring TNR article.
You probably know this, but soft surfaces are a lot better than hard ones, and be careful when running downhill.

Great, in your distaste for the method that can involve knuckles, you have recreated it exactly.

1. alternate 31 and 30
2. reset in month 8
3. alter feb to 28

In my mind using modulus and floor in a mathematical formula is no more valid than using cases. A clever formula would avoid all of them.
>If there was 2 things I wish the whole world could know, truly know deep down, they would be that you personally are worth all the stars in the heavens, all the grain in the fields, all the water in the oceans, and that everyone else is worth exactly the same amount; that we are all priceless.

Which, unfortunately, only tells us that we perhaps ought to trade off human lives against nonhuman lives or nonlives, since we can't actually give everyone all the stars in the heavens, and don't yet even have the power to divide them equally.

But the sentiment, at least, is correct, which is far more than we can say for many things.
Nothing beyond personal experience and knowing my own body. After you run every day for 8 years of your life you tend to notice little differences in how you feel day-to-day. For example, it's not a coincidence that after three months in Houston running on only pavement, I had far more ankle/knee/plantar pains than after a season of running on trails. Also, trails have the added benefit of activating a greater diversity of muscles in your feet, because you need to "dance around the roots."
I understood the complaint to be not about male vs. female, but about the fact that the original is a pornographic picture from Playboy magazine.
C++ bugs are sometimes - too often - faster to find even from disassembly than from source code. Seriously. Yes, it's a very slow approach. But you can see what's really going on, and the picture is shockingly different from the source code point of view. While disassembly is verbose, there's no syntactic sugar that can obscure true function. C++ features, like operator overloading and exceptions, locally hide actual functionality. I've seen another language that has a lot of different ways to do same thing and enabled write-only development. Perl.

No, disassembly listing is not what I typically use for debugging. Just one of the tools. The point is, something is wrong when disassembly can be easier to understand than source code!

So depressing when you need to deal with it often. Our best tool is not very good.

Well, all this puts bread on my table, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much...

Well, so much for that. Executing code in order to view an image is just begging to be exploited…

Why would a C++ version have to worry about patents but the JS one does not?
I left in the middle of a PhD for mostly this reason. I was introduced to politics of the department very quickly because I learned my advisor was not popular with most of the rest of the faculty. Only two of them would collaborate with her. She had a big fight with one of the more established researchers over patent rights a few years back.

I had met her as an undergraduate five years prior to when I became her grad student. She was pleasant, albeit a little pushy, but nothing offputting. She had changed in the interim. She would yell at me (and her other students) in her office for the slightest mistakes. During a meeting with other researchers and my colleagues she accused me of not completing my work. It took all my strength not to tell her to fuck off and walk out. Mind you, this woman gave me a rare A+ in her course just a few years before because I did stellar work.

She's certainly infected by the anxiety of academia and she passes it on to her students and subordinates. When I saw how being a university researcher transformed her I decided to give up my chosen route. It didn't seem worth it to me if there was a significant risk of becoming a bitter asshole.

I became a software engineer. So I probably make double what she does, I have a fraction of the anxiety and I'm not a bitter asshole.

Hi j_s,

By sensitive data, we meant part of the identity of all our users (there is quite often user@host at the end of the public keys sent by our users), and the second point is linked to the internal commands.

In the `command="ssh-handler" ssh-rsa....` the command doesn't receive the SSH public key as argument, so we would have to provide additional information like:
`command="ssh-handler <user_id|username|key_id>" ssh-rsa....`
So yes, if we have a way to avoid having a copy of that on all our servers able to authenticate users, we take it!
Russia Threatens to Ban BuzzFeed
Rather than lots of difficult coordination, why not go a simpler route and make it based on the last digit or two of the street address? It's not a perfect plan, and some smoothing out may be needed to account for the distribution of addresses in a city / state / region, but the plus side is it can be done immediately and without need to figure out what others are up to.

Or maybe not the street address ... use the lat-lon, or phone #, etc.

>This is not a matter of prudishness. I would be totally fine (see my other comment in this thread)

You mean this one? "Sexualizing women has nothing to do with image processing research." How positively libertine of you.

>You're missing the point

And you're missing my point, which is that if you really weren't a prude, you wouldn't care either way. Straight men like pretty women, straight women like handsome men, gay men like handsome men, gay women like pretty women, some people like some combination of the above, some guys 40 years ago liked a pretty woman, who gives a fuck? Stop being offended by extremely tame displays of sexuality.

>And now you're saying that French researchers don't care, but they do because they don't want to anger Americans?

You city slickers don't seem very good with jokes, do you?

I'd tell you to "lighten up" but I forgot that's code for "long live the patriarchy."
Are you the author? It looks amazing. I'm going to spend the weekend trying it out. Great Work!!!
You point is correct, but SpaceX is competing directly with the SLS which according to Wikipedia is designed by NASA. I am under the impression that the ULA will produce the SLS, but after a quick search I can only find reference to ULA producing the upper stage (http://www.ulalaunch.com/united-launch-alliance-hosts-nasa.a...). NASA as a whole is not competing with SpaceX, but some parts of it are, unless "designed by" really just means "funded by".
Running barefoot on pavement in the city doesn't work very well. Every time I try it for a significant journey, I can barely walk for a week due to blisters and small glass fragments. Also, people, rightly, stare at me like I'm insane.

this is 100% BS, it's an illusion.

you should read the Talk page of the wikipedia entry, where it's obvious there are some misinformed/deceptive folks took control of the page. See the comp.compression FAQ is a much better resource, as is the paper Brendt Wohlberg and Gerhard de Jager, "A review of the fractal image coding literature", IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, vol. 8, no. 12, pp. 1716--1729, Dec 1999 in particular " purely fractal-based schemes are not competitive with the current state of the art"
bellard.org seems to be back up now..
> Which register are you put on?

None, to my knowledge. Your ISP obviously has a 'no filters' flag somewhere, but they're not exactly telling the Government.

> Or are you willing to state that you are completely sure that you are put on no register at all and this information that you "unticked a box" will not be used against you?

We have pretty strict privacy laws, using it against you would probably be illegal.
I would rather run on a level surface even if it is harder. You can hurt your knee or ankle rather quickly running through some fields; but that's part of the experience I guess.
Come now! Surely you can defend your sacred cow more vigorously than that. You're not starting to entertain second thoughts of your own, are you?
The author's repeated ageism in this article is ironically immature.
I'm certainly not the author, I'm just desperate to see more people working on something to compete with Elm! I've just never been a fan of Haskell syntax :(
Yes, running uphill is a better workout and it feels better on the knees.

This is where on-site battery storage "fixes" the issue.

Most people are away from home during the day while their battery charges and then come home for a few hours at night when the battery powers the house.

Now, there are certainly cases, perhaps even many of them, where it wouldn't really work out. But for me it's the ideal setup. My wife and I live in a 1300ft2 house and use 250ish kwh a month in electricity including recharging an electric car a couple times a week. A 1.6 kwh system would cover almost all of our energy needs. Couple that to battery storage so we could use the energy we generate during the day when we are at home at night? Perfect!
The nice thing about running it on mesos is you can share the same machines with other big data apps like Hadoop or spark and don't have to provision separate machines.
>This picture was painted by Dali, inspired by a Scientific American article about the minimum number of pixels needed to recognize an image. He was making an artistic statement that has a direct connection to Fourier analysis

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah... The Lena image contains a nice mixture of detail, flat regions, shading, and texture that do a good job of testing various image processing algorithms. It is a good test image. It is used by thousands of researchers in the field since image processing was a field.

So, your image isn't "sexualization" because Dali and "fine art" ?

>You clearly do not understand how the context of an image matters in interpreting it.

You cannot articulate a difference between Lena and the Dali that doesn't rely upon subjective opinion.
Well, a lot of people have never heard of Zeller's Congruence. Also, the process is kind of interesting, not just the result. That's why that article on deriving the fast inverse square root constant did well here, even though many people already know the result.
I ran pain-free for years on concrete in vibram toe shoes. I ended up convincing myself that one needs to re-learn how to run, but that it is indeed possible to run even on hard surfaces if your technique is efficient enough.

Russia as its government (not its people) has been very oil rich during the last decade. It is another question where it has directed the money though. It didn't have any issues to spend $50B for Olympic Games for example (of course most of this money were stolen by those oligarchs, like childhood friends of Putin).

The issues with Russian space isn't money. It is widespread corruption which is able to drain any amount of money and lack of educated professionals. The "old guard" is retiring and new people are too young/inexperienced. People who should have come into the industry during the 199x are pretty much missing. Add to that especial Russian government and near-government corporate ineptitude, lack of modern technological base across the country, especially in electronics/communication...

You should read how US (DoD) buys rocket engines from Russia - US buys them from Florida 5-guys shop (all guys are very well connected Russian guys, some of them are even officially sanctioned by US :) for say $10/engine while the Florida shop buys them from the Russian state corporation at $1/engine while the cost of the engine is something like $2/engine, so the Russian state is something like losing the money here :)
It does, though. When your writers cannot speak to the life experience of a percentage of the US population, it isn't representative of the country.
The use of fractals for image enhancement (e.g. http://www.ononesoftware.com/products/resize9/ ) seems to be orthogonal from the choice of storage or wire format. If a browser wants to retinafy a low-res image, sure, go ahead and fractalize it. Getting back to the BPG discussion, it's not clear that it's a good idea to compress images using fractal techniques.
Are we talking about 'jobs', or 'career'? When I was in school, I worked as a Night Stock, Insurance Agent, bunch of other minor stuff, hated it all.

But, as a software architect, I absolutely love every day. I never wake up in the morning going "oh man, I have to work today". Sometimes I don't like how loud my office is (Open Office floorplan), and some of the people I work with.

Otherwise, for the past 5 years or so, I've loved almost every minute. I would do what I'm doing for free, and I get paid relatively well to do it, how could I complain?

> It would also be the absolute end of Bitcoin and derivatives, at least as far as I know.

Not really, because bitcoin only relies on the signature aspect of PKC. So, bitcoin could move over to Lamport signatures, which are not affected by quantum computing.

Lamport signatures are larger than ECDSA signatures, so blockchain bloat would be an issue. But presumably by then hard drives and all other computing specs would have increased substantially.

Here's an interesting article by Vitalik Buterin which explains how the transition could take place: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/6021/bitcoin-is-not-quantum-safe-...

Your initial comment said "but QVC (by this time) should have rate limiting / throttling per IP." If you have 1 or 2 requests from an IP then rate limiting those requests does nothing.

Your other suggestions are certainly interesting, and you may have implied those solutions - but that's not what you originally said. You said rate limiting by IP is enough. It is not.
Ezra was a nice guy. Very approachable and even though he was probably smarter than most he talked to he never came across superior.

He is also the one who introduced me to nginx and I think he was instrumental in making nginx a western webserver that is now used all over the place.

If her face is the only face that is critical to the image compression analysis, yes, you are completely right.

I have a hard time understanding the knee jerk reaction to the change and the willingness to maintain the status quo. We have nothing to lose if the image is swapped with one that is less ostracizing --which is something Mozilla did in the past. Why defend it?
I don't mind the syntax. The difference is that while Elm is a niche language with a small community, Cljs has a very diverse ecosystem on its way to becoming a complete web development platform (or already there!).

I read that story yesterday, and I somewhat brushed it off as one judge's view. Thankfully that guy doesn't not sit on the Supreme Court, which is where all of this is headed.

I'm actually heartened by the unanimous decision this past summer where the SC ruled against the carte blanche searching of cell phones when the cops make an arrest. The Chief Justice wrote the opinion and came down hard on the government. He actually wrote "We cannot deny that our decision today will have an impact on the ability of law enforcement to combat crime...Privacy comes at a cost."

Can someone explain the intended meaning of the "handshake" in the photo accompanying the article?
Not always faster.

Try comparing qsort to stl::sort...

Hint: stl::sort is a lot faster. It can inline the comparison function. Ok, it just shows how slow function pointers are. I'm assuming compilers still can't optimize the function pointer away in qsort.

Of course a specialized sorter in C would be faster, one that can inline comparison function. C++ copy pasting automation... err, I mean templates are useful, because it can often inline your function and data type in the algorithm without using function pointers. At cost of generating same or similar algorithm code multiple times bloating the binary.
