I spend a lot of time in a journal club discussing human behavior genetics with researchers who include researchers on extreme old age. That's a data-mining study, and would not impress other researchers in the field (or even get published in a better journal) without being replicated in an independent dataset. Spurious gene-correlation studies of this kind are a dime a dozen.

Food for thought is that the heritability of longevity as discovered in twin studies is actually not particularly high.
Having static preferences that never change does indicate stagnation.

> Basically, with "bsd licensed" software, if a big company hired up all the developers, they could take it proprietary and out-compete fork efforts.

Well, look, sure, if you hire all the developers that are working on something and understand it, you can probably out-compete other implementations even if all you have the old developers do on your proprietary project is write up specs from which a different set of developers build a legally non-derivative interoperable implementation.

That may be a risk with permissively-licensed Free software, but its also a risk with copyleft Free software and proprietary software.
Often not. It can do UPnP automatically. But in my case I don't even need that, because I just run a dedicated server node with a public IP, and everybody else can sync via that.

Not sure about films, but I think if the book is sufficiently deep it bares re-reading.

For instance, I first read the Thomas Covenant books when I was maybe 15. I'm pretty sure a good 50% of the subtlety went over my head at that age. I'd hope at 43 I'd understand more of it now. Any maybe even more when I'm 60.
> It would be unusual for them to shut this down entirely.

Right, but what they have done is shut down development on certain platforms. For example, they'll continue to develop Sunrise for Windows Phone, Windows OS but not for Android and/or make it unusable on Android, Mac, iOS, etc. by degrading the code.

They have a solid history of doing this. There's also a solid history of people telling me not to worry about it and being proven wrong over time. Again, color me skeptical.
Have you tried? I just reread the brothers karamazov at 29. I first read it when I was 22.

There a lot of it that I understand better, or differently, because I'm older.

The idea is to reread good things. Those usually have depth.

Which, as LiroXIV said, is missing the point. If they publish the Google Play store as a web site, it should work on all standard-compliant web browsers.

If they want it to be accessed only from the Android app, fine, but then don't make it available to the Chrome browser either. That kind of "only-works-with-products-from-the-same-vendor" bundling is what got Microsoft convicted for monopolistic practices back in the day.

I live in germany but I tried to use common sense.

In this scenario our society would be split into two groups if we pay pensions for eternity:

Those who lived long enough to receive their pension. Their body turns 30 again thanks to breakthroughs in science.
And those who never age beyond 30 and so they never get their pension.

The first group effectively gets "basic income" and they probably own houses/apartments so their living costs are quite low. You can either let everyone have pensions or get rid of pensions.
The fact that DataStax, the company behind Cassandra (the main db where Titan runs), analyzed Titan and said "Hey, this software is crap. Let's put it in the trashcan and redo it from scratch with the support of our team" means something, right?

I can't understand people that appreciate Titan: it's just a library on top of a DBMS that is not even Graph. It's definitely not a Graph Database. People love buzzwords, but who is using it in production? I mean, real production? If you wanna do just Graph Processing you have plenty of choices like Spark+GraphX, Giraph, etc.
Backstory:

A friend and I had this thought about being able to send anyone in the world a card through a website. We decided to try it out with dickbutt and see how it went. This doesn't really solve a problem that we found, we simply did it to bring an idea to an actual product.

Technologies:

Flask / gunicorn / nginx for server-side

Boostrap with the paper theme, FormValidation for the form validation, Jquery of course.

Stripe for handling payments (We'd like to add Paypal, Amazon Payments, and Google Wallet soon)

Stats:

Right now we're seeing about a 1.8% conversion rate.

Investment:

Mostly time, but we spent about $100 in initial supplies (not including stamps).
Postage is the most expensive part about sending each card
I can give a detailed list of supplies if anyone is interested.

Procedure:

Right now, when we sell a card, we print out the shipping address label, put it on the envelope as well as a return address label. After that we print the outside of the card with your greeting. We fold the card in half and then stamp a dickbutt inside. We chose to go with a stamp as it felt more authentic. We are using 110lb cardstock for the cards.

Previous discussion here, with both Prometheus and InfluxDB developers chiming in.

Short version from memory: Prometheus is more efficient for datasets were series have metadata, not so much individual points, since InfluxDB stores metadata per point, but InfluxDB will optimize this case in the next version.
Only while the sun is up; and even then, the sky is there, but you actually look at everything else for the vast majority of the time.

If the ground is as bright as the sky -- for example, if it's covered in snow or water that reflects most of the light hitting it -- then that's quite a bit more dangerous than watching a screen all day (see snow blindness).

Just because things are "natural" doesn't mean they're automatically safe, or good for you.

Reading ESR tends to make me angry in a special way. I can understand people who prefer a BSD/MIT license over the GPL - they usually seem to understand the difference and claim the former are "more free" while kind of understanding the point of the later but disagreeing with its importance. But when I read ESR, he seems to have it in for the FSF and doesn't really seem to respect or even understand the philosophy at all. I've come to view him as a formerly-high-profile troll.

Wanting an IDE is not the same thing as needing an IDE to be able to work. You're excluding a rather big middle, there.
I watch these things move and wonder why a huge amount of effort is going into working on bipedal robots; ie the DRC: http://www.theroboticschallenge.org/

Surely an arm (or two) attached to the top of one of these would allow for almost the same level of interactions, while simplifying the whole "moving around" thing.
I agree with you: the playful exploration of an idea space can lead to really creative solutions. However, I think what we need to focus on is hacking at the appropriate level.

For example, trying to iterate on regexen to see how well they validate credit cards on your shopping cart form is at a different level to say, trying out a new database system. The former can be undertaken in a desultory way more easily than the latter--and therein lies the trap. It's easy to generate a false sense of progress, seeing code being output and test cases passing, all the while without really understanding or learning anything about the code or the problem at all.

Precision understanding of the mechanics of coding, on the other hand, free you to concentrate on higher problems. You don't need to play whack-a-mole with locks and semaphores to eliminate race conditions, and can focus on developing that revolutionary game.

I've been using linux for about as long as you, I still enjoy spending time trying to figure out why things broke about as much as I did back then (which means not much).

My impression is that figuring things out is getting a lot harder, the big mess of D-Bus, GNOME, NetworkManager, anything ending in Kit and systemd is not only in a constant state of flux but their internals are also poorly documented (or not documented at all).
Vista and Windows 8 aren't the problem. Lack of presence on servers and mobile devices is the problem -- those are the two key spaces where OSS platforms have won out.

Linux is still not a significant player on desktops. Microsoft is still completely dominating that space.

I've used both. Titan is not anywhere near production ready. And now it seems like they won't ever be. It's not even a real database. It's a library. You can't even delete indexes once you create them. I don't get why anyone would go with them. (Is this still the case or did they resolve that index issue?) Either way, OrientDB is more mature/stable and was much faster than Titan. Then, OrientDB is a multi-model, so it just has so much more capabilities compared to just a graph database. IMHO, Titan seemed like a toy in comparison.
"The great thing about the web is links. Some times you click them and they take you places. If the place it takes you asks you to open an app instead... that's a bad experience"

This is the grandparents quote to the person I replied to. Looking over the quote, I think there's some ambiguity.

One one hand....

there is clicking a link in say Messenger that someone texts you... and "Which app do you want to use? Firefox, Chrome, Youtube, ...". That, I think, its a necessary "evil" and not inherently bad. If you have 5 browsers and youtube, where do you want that link to go? "Use this app every time with this kind of link... or just this time?" is a minor annoyance but expected.

This is to be expected in an environment where you have options. It would be jarring, in say iOS, because they don't give you options. Links open in Safari. Videos open in iVideo (or whatever it's called).

In Android, you have apps installed that make you have to choose - and generally you only have to choose when you say "This time only" or after you install something new.

On the other hand...

How I read it initially: there is clicking a web link, having it open in the browser and having a "You should really install our app. No really." box pop up every time. Not a redirect to an app, but a web page that points you to super-awesome-zomg-your-so-stupid-for-not-using-it app.

It's bad user experience, in my not so humble experience, to constantly be badgered to install apps - whether it's Youtube, LinkedIn (one of the worst offenders, again IMNSHO) or on a link leaving Google.
My experience is that specs - even will written ones - are far enough from working, tested code that it's going to be significantly easier to take the BSD project proprietary than to build a competitor to a GPL licensed one from scratch. Also, to be attractive to the 'core group', I think working on new stuff is more interesting.

That is very interesting, because LLVM developers themselves admit LLVM generates slower code than GCC (in average). This is plain if you read LLVM Developers' Meeting talks.

I think it is completely possible that LLVM developers are using wrong benchmarks. Benchmarks are mostly SPEC and some large Google C++ codebases; in some sense both are quite atypical. But then, entire problem is to understand how typical codebases look like.

Recalling Paul Graham's recent blog post on the benefits of re-reading:

reading and experience are usually "compiled" at the time they happen, using the state of your brain at that time. The same book would get compiled differently at different points in your life. Which means it is very much worth reading important books multiple times. I always used to feel some misgivings about rereading books. I unconsciously lumped reading together with work like carpentry, where having to do something again is a sign you did it wrong the first time. Whereas now the phrase "already read" seems almost ill-formed. http://paulgraham.com/know.html

I've read "The Princess Bride" about as many times as I've seen the movie, which, while I haven't kept a close count, is a lot. I don't know that it's something I'd recommend to everyone, but the book has its own sort of whimsy that is distinct from the movie, though both are enjoyable.

Kerouac's "On the Road" is another that I read often. Somewhere in the once-a-year phase.

"Slaughterhouse Five" is another I read with some regularity, and I find it different every time I read it, as I have a new set of personal beliefs with which to apply to it approximately every time.

I have, and I always find that by the time I come back to a book a second time around it always feels used up or depleted in some way.

It's like trying to re-read an old math textbook after having gone through multiple higher level math texts afterwards. There may be a couple bits and pieces I was missing, but I had the gist, and so re-reading was a waste of time.

For example, one of the books I most enjoyed reading was Mahfouz's Madiq Alley. It built in me some of the cultural sensitivities of the early 20th century Egyptians. I cherish those sensitivities, but in my readings I have gone on and read other books that have further extended those sensitivities. Now, when I try to go back and re-read Madiq Alley I find it less than enriching.
