I've wondered about the effect that environmental factors might have on Japan's current predicament- something in the water? did processing of soy products change at some point such that levels of the estrogen analogs ended up being higher? I guess I haven't been quite curious enough to see if there have been any rigorous studies that have compared T levels there over the last few decades.

Personally, I'm not too excited about PyPy, because it has little promise of speeding up the two typical use cases for Python in the kind of scientific code I care about:

1. Python is used to setup/glue together code that is written in a compiled langugage.

2. Someone writes a code by starting out writing everything in Python, then profiling and identifying the slow parts, and then writing these in a compiled language.

Edit: example of 1): HOOMD-blue, example of 2): PyClaw.

I can't figure out how to chat. Enter isn't working to send messages. Also, is there a way to set nicks, like in IRC?
I love this answer. I find technologists can often be complete snobs about their particular niche of expertise. Math, computer science, computer engineering and software engineering are each way too big for anyone to be a true expert in any of them. I find once you've spent some time learning multiple disciplines you tend to realize how little you really know and become a bit humble about your own abilities.
This looks like it would be insanely difficult to park. Plus, there's nowhere to put your feet, though that's easily remedied.
Stop Wasting Time: How to Prove You’re Building the Right Product
“IO.js, what’s that?” asked Joyent CEO Scott Hammond in response to my query about whether projects based on the fork would be able to enter. “This is a Node.js project for Node.js innovations.”

I think this attitude is entirely detrimental.

Cool! I had completely missed this. Thanks!
tl;dr why "don't read the comments" is a cliche. Good one.
I don't see how you can experiment with functionality by writing tests at all. Tests are basically just pseudocode. It's writing the requirement/interface before figuring out what is possible.

For example. I was recently trying to figure out how to make an autocomplete list faster, as the database was too slow. I already had a functional test taking in search parameters and returning results. But there would be no way to write a test for the actual implementation of the indexed/faster search classes until I figured out a real approach. In the beginning, I had no idea if this would require a separate daemon process to do indexing, or if it could index realtime, or caching, or memoization, or where it might need to keep an index once created. These are just a couple of the unknowns. Once I figured out a workable concept, I wrote tests for those classes and functions. Then I refactored multiple times, altering the tests accordingly.
“IO.js, what’s that?”

This is a hilariously out of touch move by Joyent.

The major concern most people have with node.js is the governance model - the fact that a single corporation controls it makes a lot of people uneasy.

This thin ploy really highlights exactly the kind of company that Joyent is and really validates those concerns. They're not interested in working together with io.js, they're interested in using their corporate muscle to squash what they see as a competitor.

The worst thing is the incentives they're using are barbed - really they're just offering you a discount on their products in return for locking you in to them.
I don’t do Angular, is that OK?
It's great to see new entrants into the monitoring and graphing space. These are problems that every company has, and yet there's no solution as widely accepted for monitoring, notifications or graphing as nginx is for a web server.

Not that I'd do a better job, but every time I further configure our monitoring system, I get that feeling that we're missing something as an industry. It's a space with lots of tools that feel too big or too small; only graphite feels like it's doing one job fairly well.

Alerting is the worst of it. Nagios and all the other alerting solutions I've played with feel just a bit off. They're either doing too much or carve out a role at boundaries that aren't quite right. This results in other systems wanting to do alerting, making it tough to compare tools.

As an example, Prometheus has an alert manager under development: https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager. Why isn't doing a great job at graphing enough of a goal? Is it a problem with the alerting tools, or is it a problem with boundaries between alerting, graphing, and notifications?

To be fair - they have an incubator program they're already running to encourage NodeJS adoption:

"The company's Node.js Incubator Program is designed for companies, startups, and individuals doing interesting things with Node. Members will receive Joyent’s training and support, $25,000 worth of services in Joyent Cloud Hosting, tools and debugging, access to Node project leader Timothy J Fontaine, plus marketing and networking opportunities."

I can totally understand why they'd not want to _pay money_ to people who switched.

That said since Node and IO are compatible I don't get why they'd want to slow progress like that - they're hooking people on their cloud services (which will work just fine in IO code) their ecosystem (the package manager NPM works on both IO and node) and their services. They could totally at least make a more reasonable statement than "What's IO".
From the storage system docs:

> which organizes sample data in chunks of constant size (1024 bytes payload). These chunks are then stored on disk in one file per time series.

That is concerning, is this going to have the same problem with disk IO that graphite does? i.e. Every metric update requires a disk IO due to this one file per metric structure.
Single developer shouldn't be that big of a factor in slow development and complete media silence for six months to a year on end; any half-decent developer can churn out an update every week, whether it's a new feature or just a bugfix. That's how you keep people excited about your program, and how to prevent it from seeming stale and dead.
Bitcoin is technically interesting and awesome. My problem with Bitcoin and why it does not completely solve the problem described in the article - it is a social problem.

Like land, a lot of Bitcoin is landed wealth. It has an inherent inequality in who starts with it. This is what makes me uncomfortable with it. If you transact two goods or services to obtain Bitcoin, that eliminates the inequality.

For an unbanked person to obtain this digital currency, they would have to provide services in exchange for BitCoin. They would have to 'serve' someone else. A bit like land rent.
The PHP Paradox
I'm pretty surprised that you can't get some funding from Canonical, Redhat, Microsoft, SuSE, Linux Foundation, et al. Is there anyone on the team who could engage those organizations?

Several linux distros have much of their customization features written in python.

Microsoft seems to be trying VERY hard to change their course and attract more developers back to their platform(s). They're clearly willing to make strategic investments in open source projects.

I've found that PyPy works wonders for the vast majority of python code I've thrown at it. In order to close remaining gaps, funding is key.

In NYC, its less of a space constraint and more of being against the rules of the landlord/co-op board because they say the building cannot support so much water usage and they are afraid of leakage into apartments below.

Never understood why they do this. Surely they should keep junk off removable drives, as they are the most likely to be used in other systems including ones that don't hide data from the user.
To be fair, it's not as though the government treats the wealth of data as equally important and the media just fixates on one measure. The government wants to tout that low unemployment rate as well, and they make sure to do so whenever it fits their purposes.

This article reads like a transcript of a drunk guy at a bar explaining his political point of view. Lots of stated assumptions about what other people don't know, backed up with zero facts to substantiate any claims made therein.

He claims repeatedly that "most people don't know [some fact about what goes into calculating the unemployment rate]." I think actually most people who read the news do, in fact, know that people who have been chronically out of work and given up looking are not counted among the unemployed. How could they not? It was hammered home over and over in the midst of the recession.

He never provides any numbers to support the claim that a large percentage of people fall into that category. He just states that it's left out of the calculation, that few people know it, and then leaves you to assume that therefore this must be a significant percentage of the population.

Stupid article.

Noteworthy from the source: Microsoft does NOT use (unmergable) SLN-files for their projects, but instead scripts-msbuild invocations against specific projects:

I guess this explains why they saw no need to fix the somewhat broken SLN file-format in the first place, but actually did something about project-files. They don't share their customers pain on this point.

> This results in other systems wanting to do alerting, making it tough to compare tools.

I'd think you've hit the nail on the head, every monitoring system has to do a bit of everything such as alerting, machine monitoring, and graphing; rather than focusing on just doing one thing and doing it well.

Prometheus comes with a powerful data model and query language, few existing systems support the same (e.g. Atlas and Riemann have the notion of a query language and labels) so we have to do a bit of everything to produce a coherent system.

I think a separate common alert manager would be good if we could combine, currently in practice that role isn't being done as you rely on de-duplication in a tool such as Pagerduty with support for silencing alerts not being unified.

Amazingly, you have cherry-picked the part of your source that agrees with you.

This is the full quote, including the bits you left you:

"Mindfulness meditation programs had moderate evidence of improved anxiety... depression... and pain... and low evidence of improved stress/distress and mental health–related quality of life. We found low evidence of no effect or insufficient evidence of any effect of meditation programs on positive mood, attention, substance use, eating habits, sleep, and weight."

The same source goes on to conclude,

"Clinicians should be aware that meditation programs can result in small to moderate reductions of multiple negative dimensions of psychological stress"
If the evidence was manufactured, say by some hacker with access to Ulbricht's accounts, it would contain little tidbits like that one. Not that I think it was. But there are some meaty issues here about the reliability of evidence in the digital age, and I'm disappointed that this is such a lousy case for airing them out.
