I deliberately delimited my position to mitigate counter-arguments like this. We do agree that, to the extent following sports is low or completely non-tribal it is innocuous. Presumably, baseball was/is like this for you. I also allowed that for some people such as my brother and, perhaps for the article's writer too, belonging is a deep need which can be satisfied by some form of tribalism.

My next point might be a bit of a stretch, but I would invite you to consider the possibility that your comment is itself a weak exemplar of the tendencies I disliked growing up in Manchester.

"othering" the others :

>> I think that's a very sad and depressive

Appealing to the in-group for emotional support :

>> If anyone wants to enjoy a beer and a hotdog at the ballpark of their choosing, let's do it. 20 days until pitchers and catchers report.

deliberately misrepresenting outsiders and making a loud noise doing it :

>> the argument that they're part of some fascist tribal conspiracy is silly and immature

In order for an EEG signal to overcome noise it is typically time locked to an event and recorded multiple times. The signal is then averaged time locked to the stimuli. How is this done cycling around NYC? Do you politely ask a driver to swerve into your path 5 or 6 more times in order to get a proper sample of the event?

If you have experience in fMRI consider that this EEG is going to look like continual gradient and line noise artefacts, potentially highly correlated to the type of road surface the bike is currently on. Please explain how this can be 'averaged out' in order to obtain a signal.
I hope you truly see nothing wrong with paying for (and forcing others to pay for) someone's sugar addiction, cellphone conversation while driving, smoking or drinking addition, otherwise I hope you DO enjoy the nanny state stepping in to solve this future problem by further telling you which activities and addictions you can becoming involved in.
I wish they would have picked a less dramatic consequence. Death as a consequence forces me to mitigate risk to the highest degree I know how to, which I think would skew the results, if folks are anything like me.

Death is just so final, and such a significantly different force in the lives of humans, that it can't really be compared to anything else.
If you want to start doing fixed price jobs I would suggest that you do the following first to avoid learning some very expensive lessons about your ability to estimate jobs:

(1) read the spec for a job that you're going to do on an hourly rate basis

(2) make a very detailed layout of how long you think you will spend implementing each part of the spec

(3) total it all up, write down the number and multiply by two, then multiply by your hourly rate

(4) write down the resulting number as what you could have quoted your customer with a huge safety margin of 50%.

(5) next, proceed to do the job as you planned, hourly rate

(6) keep track of your time (you need to do that anyway, but do it in a bit more detail, what part of the spec took how long)

(7) add that all up, multiply by your hourly rate, compare with the number you got in step (4).

If you end up 20% below or further than the number you got in step (4) you are more or less ready to try (small!) fixed price jobs.

Keep in mind that it only takes one big fixed price job to sink your reputation or to totally eat up the profits of many otherwise successful jobs. It took me a really long time to get good at this.

The consensus seems to be "telling them why something is a bad idea at length is part of the job" and "doing it the stupid way at additional cost, because they insisted, is part of the job."

But I think we can go too far emphasizing pleasing the client sometimes. I don't think it's so rare to see genuine conflicts of interest, like squeezing for unreasonable deadlines and scopes, where the problem can't really be solved by just charging more.

If a client makes overly aggressive demands and won't listen when you take the time to tell them politely what you can do, is it better to be exploited mercilessly and risk breach of contract, or to cut your losses, swallow your pride and find another way to pay the rent?
Those are far from the only causes of health issues. The 'nanny state' will save your precious ass too if you ever should need it, even if you never use sugar, only call using lamp post connected payphones, do not smoke, do not drink and so on.

If you're interesting in the birth, inspiration and pedagogy behind Project Euler, I recommend this article [1].

And it's an effective teacher because those problems are arranged like the programs in the ORIC-1's manual, in what Hughes calls an "inductive chain":

The problems range in difficulty and for many the experience is inductive chain learning. That is, by solving one problem it will expose you to a new concept that allows you to undertake a previously inaccessible problem. So the determined participant will slowly but surely work his/her way through every problem.

It would be pretty easy to cite circumstances when women are excluded and men are excluded. For example, there are men's only colleges and women's only colleges, and the number of women's only institutions of higher education greatly outnumber the number of men's only institutions (The only one I can think of is Hampden Sydney in Virginia).

Personally, I'm very anti-gender binary, so my purpose of commenting here is that it is intellectually dishonest to cite examples where women are excluded and conveniently omit examples where men are excluded.

Yet living responsibility has clearly put me into a different cost bracket as opposed to the useful idiots. I've never been to the dentist, have straight cavity-free teeth, and never needed to see a doctor aside from once, where I paid cash. The only wrecks I've been involved in where the other driver's fault. I was reimbursed $1100 for a '89 prelude with a brand new engine and perfect body/chassis (less than 90k miles). It was a ripoff in every sense. That was my benefit for paying for uninsured motorist. The driver that hit me had no insurance, no driver's license, and no papers for the van. In fact I'm pretty sure she was high on prescription pills at the time. I would have rather saved the years of paying insurance, and had enough to buy a brand-new car.

When you consider how much insurance money (all taxpayer money) goes to the chronically obese, diabetic and generally unhealthy people of america, verses all the payees, perhaps you could see your point has no bearing with me.

The funny thing is, your (evidently) supported system will pay for me anyways in an event of the unexpected, as well as cutting me huge benefits in how much it'll cost as a result of having no money on the books. Enjoy.

The hospital will check's your income and account balances respective to your credit and work out some price they think you can actually pay. I watch my (health) uninsured friend's car accidient go from 80k to 20k when they had around 80k in savings. The prices are over-inflated because of the insurance industry, but don't let me stop anyone's religious belief in this ridiculous social system.

Well, asm.js was a research project for a few months. During those, it was open on github, it was discussed openly on IRC (e.g. #emscripten, for example when experimental commits came in to emit asm.js-like stuff), etc. During that time, we didn't know if it would work or just be a waste of time. So no blogposts were written, because what would we write? Most research projects fail, and are not worth making an effort to mention. One just develops them in the open and sees how things go.

What are you saying we should have done differently during the early research period of asm.js? (Honest question, this situation happens all the time with new research projects - I'd love to do better next time.)

And how exactly was the non-prominence "taken advantage of"? What benefit did we get from it?

I completely agree with you about chromium (the project) being open, and yes, clearly it is far larger than v8. Also, very likely I consider v8 to be more important than the average person, since JS is my area, that is a fair point.

Still, I don't want to go all the way to saying something like "v8 is negligible". It's not. JS is the only standardized programming language available for web pages. The JS writing community is huge. People writing websites use HTML, JS and CSS, with JS being pivotal. So JS does matter quite a lot, even if v8's size is small in comparison to the rest of chromium.

Hence, v8 not being developed openly is a black mark against the openness of the chromium browser. That seems an unavoidable conclusion. But it is open to debate on the amount - is v8 more or less important - of course.

I'm not sure what you think I'm claiming about Dart, if you think the timeline in the Dart document doesn't align with anything I said?

I apologize if it seems like I'm assuming the worst about Google's motivations regarding anything. I think I was pretty careful in not talking about motivations, because I don't know them. The facts are that v8 development is not fully open. And, it is a fact that I don't understand that. Not sure how that shows I think Google is being evil or anything like that? Not is anything I said an "accusation" about Google's motivations, as again, I tried to focus on the observable facts. (Or, did you make that statement referring to something else I said - if so, what?)

I have talked to v8 people, and I have asked questions about openness and development procedures and so forth. I also file bugs regularly and interact with them on the tracker. I admire the v8 developers - they are doing an amazing job! So I'm not someone from afar that is assuming the worst. I'm someone that likes the v8 project, tries to help out, and interacts with it, while at the same time is kind of puzzled and disappointed that it isn't developed openly. And I feel that reflects poorly on chromium. That's all.

There is a very good FIFO-ish queue which is much simpler than this. It would be interesting to compare their performance on real machines.

FIFO-ish queue

--

We allocate a fairly large array of pointers (make it a power of two if you need absolute speed). We'll call it a ring buffer.

Writers:

Each writer acquires a random per-thread index into the ring buffer.

A write is performed by CAS into the index, with the assumption that the buffer entry at index is NULL. CAS succeeds index++, job's a good'un. CAS fails index++ and try again.

Readers:

Each reader acquires a random per-thead index into the ring buffer.

A read is performed by first reading a pointer from the index, if the pointer is NULL index++ and try again. If the pointer is not NULL then CAS to NULL. CAS succeeds index++, job's a good'un. CAS fails index++ and try again.

--

This has a number of desirable properties, it is very memory locality friendly, all we ever do is walk memory word for word in a very predictable pattern. With a well sized ring buffer we can make reads and writes very independent reducing cache-contention etc. It does not perform any memory allocation or create garbage, which can be a problem in some domains.

It's also very simple, it is quite feasible to write a correct version of this data structure without PhD level work.

The design was communicated to me by Martin Thompson and has been implemented in real systems. I do not know how many cores it was used on.

There is an elegant way to solve these types of problems analytically using a technique called Poissonization. The aspect that makes computing the correct answer difficult is the dependence among counts for the various chips. Instead imagine the the number of defects is now Poisson distributed with mean lambda. A convenient property of the Poisson distribution is its "binning" property whereby the number of defects hitting each chip as now Poisson(lambda/n) and, most important, the counts are mutually independent. From here you can compute the correct answer by a power series argument. I'll spare you the details but see http://bulletin.imstat.org/2014/02/student-puzzle-corner/ for a worked example.

You may have a low risk profile and good health, but if you ever need medical care you'll be spending less money on it if you have insurance. Theoretically insurance companies operate by charging you a rate around (or slightly higher than, to buffer for business overhead and risk) your expected cost. Unfortunately in America, insurance is an unusually "good deal" for consumers because it gives you access to the insurance company's price leveraging. Meaning, the bottom line cost of the procedure (at "insurance rate") will be significantly discounted from what you'd pay with cash. Thus, companies grant insurance based on the rates they pay.

Here's a more thorough explanation.

Code is code. I doubt a computer program could do worse than my undergrads, indeed it will probably be functionally correct. Today I fixed a bug where a condition std::thread member used a condition variable in the constructor, problem was that the std::thread came before the condition variable in the structure declaration. No computer would make that mistake.

Sure, but only if all of the following are true:

1) You understand how to use the Unix shell and everything else that goes into maintaining a Unix machine.

2) You have the time to do it. (This is what has always stopped me, FWIW.)

3) You are willing to spend money on a machine that has sufficient resources to be responsive when you use it but sits idle 99% of the time since you're the only user.

These obstacles are what drive people to SaaS, where they no longer have freedom to install arbitrary software.
quality is way more important. friction is ok, if people are not willing to confirm their email how will you get them to download your app?

The best thing you can do now is engage the people who are interested in your app. Don't wait until launch to start communicating. Use the next 3-4 weeks to validate your assumptions by talking to as many people as possible. Making sure your app solves a real problem that your customers want solved is the best way to get traction.
One way to keep away the electronic snoopers is to use a paper journal and secure it physically by putting it in a safe. Paul Saffo's inspirational comments are worth reading:

> philanthropy years later doesn't wash away the sins.

You could argue that they do, in the sense that stealing software/design isn't particular "evil", while Gates' recent philanthropic efforts are most certainly "good". I'm not saying what Gates did back then was right, but it really only led to damage localized to an industry; it didn't endanger people's lives or destroy culture. As a counter example, I'd call the RIAA/MPAA evil, in that they promote copyright extension and censorship, both of which directly damage culture. Back to the argument, improving the quality of life for millions of people is something I put squarely in the "good" category. In other words, Gates' previous actions didn't harm the quality of life for anyone, but his recent actions improve quality of life. So I call that "washing away the sins."

But please don't take that argument too seriously, because I don't. Its myopic and doesn't take into consideration the other, worse, things that Microsoft has done (that actually harmed people's quality of life). And really, quantifying these things is quite difficult. I'm just presenting an alternative viewpoint.
The emergence of blogging allowed individual voices outside of control of the larger media to reach their own audiences.
Because of this 10 years ago noone wanted to have AOL as their walled garden. Everyone wanted to search and discover themselves. Google brought an algorithm that allowed voices to emerge, but it also spawned the SEO industry to manipulate that distribution channel and make it more difficult.
Today most people never leave Facebook and FB's new feed rules will make sure that you have to pay to be heard.
So maybe Facebook has become like AOL, has become like the print magnates even prior to that. Time for disruption again?
