Funny. Respectfully, I think they look great.

I always get the information I need - books and research they've been involved in, career history, a few personal details (family, hobbies, interests, where they live), and some links to more websites I never would have found otherwise. Maybe they don't have exciting animations, memorable logos, or even colored backgrounds, but it beats searching my university's over-engineered, information-starved profile on them.
For reference, someone else's argument in favor of many worlds:

I'm not sure it adequately supports its claim that "the debate should already be over", but it's worth reading. It's not science, but when all the interpretations other than collapse models predict the exact same observations, there's only so far the math can take you...
To add something: I think that it makes a lot of sense for an infected organisation to ask for confidentiality about something like this; any public communication in the opposite sense would be an immediate signal for the attackers to release a new version of the malware. Although, depending on what the malware does, the attackers may realize immediately that it has been protected against.

EDIT: also, it's not like antivirus companies publicise everything they do. From what I've seen (admittedly not much, so maybe I'm wrong) most releases are simply summarised as "added protection against 100 new threats".
Wow. I don't think this is a particularly hard concept, but that's an excellent way of visualising it and will definitely help when I'm debugging.

I believe the Aeon article is referring to pilot wave theory when it talks about Broglie-Bohm, although it does so with almost no explanation, even though it's one of the main threads of the article.

I think the idea of pilot wave theory is really interesting, and that a variant of it could turn out to be more fundamental than our current understanding of quantum physics.

Response to the 48th email? "Thank so much for following up, I've been crazy busy. Can you come by the office tomorrow 1pm?" (rephrased). He invested.
Of course, you have to do this the right way, he laid out a pretty good "follow up plan" in this post: http://blog.close.io/follow-up
This! You are still underestimating Valgrind until you have written your own plugin.

For example, it is a nice tool for compiler writers to check optimizations. You could write a plugin which counts dynamic method invocations and check how good your devirtualization optimization works.
I don't really want to restart that whole argument again, I just want to point out that in these firestorms of outrage, the actual truth of the matter can take a lot of the damage.
You can render HTML content with a custom rendering engine - for example ePub ebooks are essentially bundled HTML + CSS content - there are several HTML rendering engines that read ePub ebooks but don't use Webkit.

Also, you can build a UI using web languages and render to native controls, all without using WebKit if you'd like.

Glad to see this being said.

This last year I got fed up with mindlessly completing homework and studying for Math and CS in school and started doing what I really want to do in my spare time; building. I decided web development seemed cool and I used to enjoy making silly little web pages a couple decades ago. It seemed natural to me to familiarize myself with html first, so I wrote a page with just html. The next thing for my spare time was a little site using just html and css so I practice and familiarize myself with some css. Then I started playing with js.

I did encounter the types of situations the article is describing constantly, but I was sure of what I was doing and what I wanted to do so I did not let them affect me. I was going to go whatever slow, awkward route toward web development I wanted to take. I knew I could pick up a framework to code an app, but for my own sake, I wanted to write the whole thing in php, including coding basic CRUD functions for my mysql server and basically reinventing MVC for my own project.

Nowadays I am playing with backbone consuming api calls from my restful django server, and it is wonderful and very exciting, but I had to get there on my own terms, and I am glad I did.

My advice to noobs like me is to play with what you understand, and enjoy the journey, without worry about 'doing things right'.
That's exactly what I heard from my first programming professor in college, around 2001.

I told him I managed to get an internship at the university 6 months before becoming an actual student and I was working with PHP. He said straight up to me and everyone in the class that PHP was crap.

I didn't listen to him, since my bills were all getting paid regardless of his opinion. I still got an A+ in his class, which was all on SmallTalk. This was just the beginning of the number of conflicts I had between "real life" and academic life.
Despite how bad this seems, it's a good thing that barely anyone is dying from war. Even adding up the highest possible estimates, we're doing a hell of a lot better than the 20th century was.
This article, in my opinion, makes an incredibly important point. And yet, does it in an incredibly boring manner. I'm not sure if its purpose is supposed to be a literary analysis, or a point about american social values and the taboo placed on drinking. If it's the latter, though; the literary analysis is a distraction.

That said, I do agree with the sentiment—teaching responsibility would be much more effective than abstinence.
> be creating an "orchestration crisis"

Spot on, and very well put.

The problem with existing orchestration tools, and tools like chef, puppet, etc. is that they're all a bit piecemeal and complicated. What we need is a step up the abstraction hierarchy, and some standardisation.

We'll probably know when we've got there if companies no longer have any real idea of how many servers or VMs from different providers that they're utilising. They'll just know which applications they're running and how much it's costing them.
Anything of mass will have taints I guess. That's I like low bandwidth medium (ML, IRC), they allow less bloat. Makes me reconsider the meaning of progress.
Huh, for some reason I assumed that we were talking about Idris. I didn't read the post well enough.

The sample page (http://djarvis.bitbucket.org/xml/support.xml) is in XML which is an input Quill and many other WYSIWYG editors do not support (nor claim to). Right now Chrome will not even render this page.
Was facebook the only influence in those people to vote? I understand there was a study behind it, but what would have happened if facebook didn't display the message.

Here is an example, I worked on a website where we redesigned a page. All of the sudden we got an increase in traffic.

I insisted that the reason for the traffic increase had nothing to do with the redesign. More page views could have been a result of another website linking to us. (the real reason was the website appeared on TV) But at the time the business team did not know that, so they just said it's the redesign.

My point is, there are lots of factors that can influence the vote, and with the very little detail it is hard to say that Facebook was the cause.
It is also great that they contribute a lot back to open source projects. Not just this editor, but they are also a major contributor to Cyrus IMAP.

You could build the lisp primitives out of NAND, but you still need those primitives to build the lisp implementation, which is what the orignial question is. You could also write the lisp primitives without direct reference to NAND (excluding NAND inside of the CPU).

I'm a senior web/fullstack developer, interviewing with some firms in order to move to the Valley. I have a good chance with a company in SF, soon I'll have to negotiate the salary with them. Is $120.000/year really hardly enough to live on there?

I agree. There is no debate or "problem" as far as quantum physicists are concerned. I'm not sure most of us would call our belief "many worlds", but you'll find very few who think that collapse is a real phenomena or that you cannot describe the world in terms of wave functions.

The author of this article is in a very small minority. Of course, the silent majority is silent because we generally have better things to do than philosophize.

Ah, yes, I put that issue into the tracker two years ago.
Nice tools, but (and it feels funny to say this) they seem rather "sticks and stones" in comparison to the integration achieved with open source PaaS layers like deis atop CoreOS; Mesosphere's DCOS even more so.
I hated JS in the beginning, trying to make write it more like I write C# or C++ (I have experience with other languages, but the syntax lead me to believe that this style would be best suited). I wrote "self = this" a lot.

Now, I have adopted a much more functional style and I find JS increasingly pleasant to work with every day. To the point where many of the new ES6 features are a bit worrying because it looks like they want to take it in the direction of what I wanted it to be when I started. At this point, using "this" or "prototype" is almost a smell -- they're useful at times but whenever I use them something in the back of my mind tells me that I could probably be doing something more elegant.
In this meaning I don't consider the statement correct.I don't know a language which is closer to the machine.

Assembly does not count, because it is not a single language. Multicore is mostly a library issue and C11 is as close to the machine as any other language here. There are languages aiming at distributed programming (Erlang,X10), but none of them claims "close to the machine". SIMD is bolted on in C, but no other language does better. Caches are supposed to be transparent; Are there languages with explicit support for scratchpad memory?

This leaves GPUs. OpenCL is supposed to be the solution here. Would you consider OpenCL closer to the machine than C?
The use of a Materialized View here is clever, but it means that every time you add a new row you have to refresh the view. For an app that accepts user-generated content, this would be very frequent since you wouldn't want users to create content and then test the search and not find it.
That is precisely where the term comes from in computing. A computer that is booting up is starting itself up.

In case anyone ends up confused by the parent post, tsearch2 is not an additional Postgres contrib module; rather, it's an old contrib module that the built-in full text search features were built on top of. It has been obsolete forever.
Indeed. For every anecdote about "starting with assembly and working up" there is another about "starting with scripting languages and working down".

How much are you realistically looking to spend on the services of a developer? Without knowing this, it's impossible to recommend the best value for the buck.
Having 2000+ VMs without automation or monitoring in place is pretty unusual. Especially for a site like healthcare.gov which must have had all sorts of HIPAA and data security requirements.

But it's honestly not hard to hook all those machines up to a system like Chef/Puppet/Saltstack/Ansible and start automating common tasks within a few days.

Migrating databases between networks and rotating passwords would generally be outside of the scope of a tool like Mesosphere. Again, this is something that can be easily handled by existing automation tools. With most databases though, there's nothing straightforward about migrating data to nodes on different vlans or password rotations. If it's a one-time task, I recommend hiring a database consulting firm to do the migration or rotation.

I think that have good defaults and enforcing best-practices is a good idea. But I think that a lot of this can be achieved with existing tools. IMO, it makes more sense for organizations to automate and orchestrate Mesos deployments via existing/mature DevOps tools like Chef/Puppet/Ansible/Saltstack. Would also be exciting to see deployments working via NixOps/NixOS.

I probably should look more closely at Agda.

But the if_then_else_ example is basically smalltalk equivalant - although I suspect Agda will be able to do without the angle brackets that Smalltalk often needs in these cases.
I think Algolia is also a nice alternative if you're looking for a quick setup.

Just to add to the complications: they'd almost have to–due to either social pressure or environmental pressure–demolish the streets/poles/etc as well, else they still pose a maintenance requirement and an eyesore.
When you say "concepts that a language is uniquely good at engaging", they might get in the way for a novice learner. Python and such are pretty good at the very basics of programming.
Cleaning up a modern malware infection is quite a big task. You can't immediately wipe it off a single computer because you will be playing whack-a-mole forever.

You have to carefully monitor and learn everything you can about the malicious actor, and discover all the infections. Then produce a plan to remove it and prevent further infection. This is all implemented at a single instant.

However, it doesn't end there, you then have to monitor very carefully to see if it comes back. If this can all be done in secret it is much easier, especially if the malicious actor doesn't know you know they are there.

If you immediately reported everything you knew it would greatly assist the malicious actor - keeping it secret is part of trying to stay ahead in the game. Even after the first incident keeping it secret helps with future incidents.
The warnings against AI are overstated. It's fine to start off playing AI. By the time you're out of the 20K range, you'll start noticing that you're only winning against AIs your level because they're acting dumb. It isn't good to scare off beginners. Especially as it can feel a bit tense, playing online. AI warning is good for better players, but they should know better anyways. The real issue with AI is finding one worth playing as a beginner, especially on 9x9. Sure, you can take a big handicap, but I'm not sure there are any useful AIs at that level to have even games with.

Another good resource is DGS : dragongoserver.net. An open source turn based (correspondence) Go server. It's easy to play as there's no time pressure, and you can fire up several games at a time.
Yes, here it is:

It only describes the data part and doesn't document Excel options such as print settings and filters; if you need them, create a sample in Excel, save it as XML Spreadsheet 2003 and examine the result.

(The 'big' Excel format that is a part of Office Open XML format is also called Spreadsheet ML, but they're different; from what I understand this one is a subset.)
It's the actor library at the core of Mesos (and a many other things). It's what makes it scale to 10,000s of nodes, and probably more. It's just nobody was able to test it on more nodes without breaking the bank.
That is after the first language though. If you started in Basic or Python or Lua or whatever, it does not mean you cannot familiarize yourself with C and C++ later.
Yet another unfortunate difference in browser implementations. Firefox can use relative paths in XSL includes, whereas Chrome cannot find files included using (for example):

<xsl:include href="xsl/chart.xsl"/>
<xsl:include href="xsl/tags.xsl"/>

Should work now. To clarify, the XML page is first transformed using the browser's internal XSLT engine. This produces a standard HTML DOM. The browser passes that HTML DOM to its HTML rendering pipeline. The JavaScript and CSS operate no differently on an XML-transformed-HTML page than they would a static HTML file.
If you're giving your data freely to companies, I don't understand what kind of oversight mechanism could or should protect you.

For example:

http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/

It does neither hinder you to give private data to companies, nor does it hinder companies to work with your data for the purpose it was submitted.

It does hinder companies to abuse your data for purposes other than the operational use for which it was collected.
The more I think about it, I dislike the idea of WYSIWYG editors. Not that I would force normal users into writing markup, thats even worse.

But in order to deal with browser inconsistencies and potential new and interesting features, the idea of WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) looks much more promising to me. The most important thing is, that the editor / workflows disallows users from making mistakes and get the result they wanted to. Regular WYSIWYG editors give too much freedom, resulting in mixed results and often confusion.

Even for simple tables, it's hard to edit a table if it has to look exactly like it should after editing. If you allow the editing experience to be different from the reading experience, you could provide additional hints and tools in the interface.

My personal experience is that often users prefer an even stricter way, of entering content through very strict and validating forms. The visual output can then be created from "raw" data. Which is not only consistent then, but can also be altered.

Of course there area areas where WYSIWYG is just fine, but then I'd prefer more "seamless" editors like http://www.aloha-editor.org/
Which only works in two C compilers that aren't available in all OS out there.
