As a developer, the GPL is useful when you want to ensure that people don't take your work and profit from it. So it's often useful when companies want to level the playing field, without allowing competitors to gain an advantage. A cynic might say it allows you to subsume the competition, and control the market (if you maintain control of development). This can make the GPL a "safer" license for companies to release code under in some situations.

The GPL is also useful if you have a political interest in moving the community as a whole toward open source software for everything.

BSD-like licenses are useful when you want to gain adoption above all else. So BSD-like (or dual licensing) can be useful for example for file format reference parsers, tools were you want to gain adoption by companies (perhaps to later provide consulting work).

As a user of software (not a developer/vendor of any kind). You probably don't care, as long as you can gain access to the sourcecode, so you can potentially get bugs fixed by a contractor. But the GPL protects users interests, so it may well be in your interest to support the use of the GPL on new projects.
Question (not being sarcastic): what's the difference between 'science-based medicine' and 'evidence-based medicine'? I did a quick Wikipedia search, but the former just redirects to the latter.
POSIX regular expressions (file glob patterns, BRE's and ERE's) have more features than regexes in old CS papers, but they are still regular: they compile to automata with no backtracking.

My favorite way is to output C, which is conveniently human-readable for debugging. Many people also like the LLVM back end.
But you will never know the truth. So it seems more practical to assume that the parameter follows some distribution and that the hand is fixed. Just a more logical approach to gauging uncertainty in my opinion. But, this is not a "Frequentist versus Bayesian" post. I think the key is to use what is most fitting for the analysis at hand.

Yes, this is exactly the thing they should pursue. This antagonistic tactic is disheartening. I mean, WTF, yes, contribute and provide CC, fansubs, whatever, but this kind of sue-happiness is a total turn-off.

I can't seem to figure out how to play. I'm trying to make each blue circle count the number of other blue circles it has vertical and horizontal line of sight to. However, when I do this, there's no indication that I won. And some levels are very clearly impossible to satisfy. The hints are rather opaque. ("Looking further in one direction would exceed this number." What?)
Clinical trials are very expensive to run. The only people financially interested in running them are the pharmaceutical companies trying to make new products available.

Replication is hard enough to achieve in hard sciences where replicating a study might cost tens of thousands of dollars. Finding the money to replicate or refute a clinical trial for millions of dollars is very difficult.

>>Our brains operate suboptimal because we can not control their state.

This is backwards, our brains are us.

>>We lose focus, even when we really want to concentrate.

This is a microcosm of the dangers involved, in modifying brain chemistry. Consider things like hyperfocus or working straight on amphetamine leading to shit code.

>>Our brains operate suboptimal because we can not control their state.

Many of the things you want can be achieved well by a machine or somebody without emotion? Do we want this?

>>Your premise that people should be forced to be unnecessarily unsatisfied because some of them might go on to do great things is cruel.

Its hard to decouple satisfaction from drive, and willpower - we have rather blunt instruments and current drugs build real dependency problems making it almost impossible to stop. Today's drugs don't do what you are talking about.
Yes, I think Huy Fong Foods "Sriracha" has a problem with brand confusion.

Huy Fong Foods "Sriracha" is different to real "Sriracha" in the Thai sense of the word (the ingredients are similar but the balance is quite different). Real "Sriracha" is around 800-1200 on the Scovilles scale and quite liquid (around 20% added water) because it's used as a dipping sauce. Huy Fong Foods "Sriracha" is 1000-2500 on the Scovilles scale and is much thicker (because it's used for squirting onto food).

Hot sauces are, unfortunately, a very location specific problem. Where I live in Australia, you're more likely to find Sambal Asli (which is very similar to Huy Fong Foods "Sriracha" with an Indonesian name).

This is one of those bizarre comments that arise, I think, from a society being halfway between socialism and full-blown privatized capitalism.

Consider: Eating McDonalds could certainly be a prerequisite for admittance to McPreSchool, the worlds largest hypothetical private preschool system.

Consider also: your government operating as a corporation. Public health is a massive drain on government resources. Vaccines have VERY researched positive impact on public health. If government were a private corp then hell yes they would require vaccinations.

You have two options: 1. you can make deductive claims like "if it compiles then it works" which require proof; or 2. you can make inductive claims like "more likely to be correct (all else being equal)" which require empirical evidence.

You appear to be offering deductive arguments for an inductive claim.

In fairness I think C++ has had a lot more compromise in its "design" than C did. C has a bunch of issues but it's understandable. C++, nobody understands it all, and it changes so much from compiler to compiler, accross hardware platforms and so on.

Indeed. Recently I was inspired to learn K, a language in the APL family. There aren't many implementations available, so I wrote my own. Doing this forced me to come to terms with a whole range of features I might have otherwise shied away from using.

Most people on this planet have religious beliefs, that claim some behaviors are good, and some behaviors are bad. A lot of them don't make much sense. Maybe you think that God doesn't want you eating bacon. Why? I don't know. But you follow them because you believe that's what God wants you to do. A lot of people—millions and millions of people in the US—believe that their God disapproves of gay marriage. And so these people, who are trying to understand the world and their place in it, try to live out the expectations they believe that their God has for them.

Maybe you think that sucks. Well, in fairly short order, gay marriage is being legalized over their objections. That's a good thing. But to believe that it's being fueled by sociopathic animosity—to turn millions of Americans into movie villains because they haven't yet learned what you already have—is an act of arrogant blindness. And it's a harm to you as well—by not understanding why they believe what they do, by turning them into fictional caricatures, you lose all hope of changing their mind, and helping them learn what you learned.

I have no doubt that, over time, quite a lot of them will see the errors of their ways, and support gay marriage. But it will be despite you, not thanks to you.
Android SWIPE – The Tinder for Your Gallery
I'm really sorry to have to be so direct about this, but it's perspectives like this that are part of the problem.

By saying that they're "next to the KKK", you're marking your opposition as not only immoral, but beyond reprieve. If you're willing to simplify the moral landscape to a single line onto which you've placed yourself squarely at the "good" end, you're taking a gravely irresponsible logical shortcut.

EDIT: I foolishly used 'retribution' in place of 'reprieve', thus making my above comment confusing and nonsensical.
There are much better mustards than Grey Poupon and Stadium Mustard, though those two are not bad. It's hard to find good mustard in the US, but Trader Joe's Dijon is almost as good as it gets for a reasonable price without going to France.

In the UK if you have blocked the PIN on the chip, you can unblock it at an ATM (usually only one belonging to your bank) if you know the correct PIN.

It's a ridiculous article. I bet the author took one fact, that in Japan businesses occasionally are bequeathed to adult-adopted sons, took that and fleshed out an article around that and dressed it as a "change in banking attitudes leads to old companies going bankrupt".
That's a bit questionable if you fight it as they may be considered to have an implied license due to the fact that you posted it here to begin with. It was never really contemplated in terms of removing content placed there by its author.

Exactly the same is true of Maxwell's equations. The four we use today are different than the 20 he originally came up with; most of that reduction comes from vectorizing them, and they gain a lot of clarity by using vector-calculus operations such as gradient and curl.

Together these changes brush the computational complexities under the rug, and leave only the descriptive power of the laws:

* "the gradient of the electric field is proportional to the amount of electric charge"

* "the curl of an electric field is always zero"

* "the gradient of a magnetic field is always zero"

* "the curl of a magnetic field is proportional to the size of the electric current plus the amount of change in the electric field with respect to time".
Where this argument loses me is that I have yet to see a single Lisp person going around extolling the virtues of Prolog, a language that is also homoiconic and has macros.

As I mentioned in a sibling reply, legality depends on your jurisdiction but in the US AFAIK scraping is no different from connecting to LinkedIn 15,000,000 times with a copy of Chrome.

To further illustrate this point, LinkedIn provides a helpful directory at the bottom of their homepage, allowing one to browse every user[0] and every company[1] in their graph. Hard pressed to argue that it's illegal to navigate to every single profile if you serve a directory of them.

Also, I believe there are companies[2] and shops[3] that specialize in doing that kind of thing. I would say it would be worth reaching out to them, if nothing else just to get a sense for what something like that would cost.

To be pendantic with terminology, if you take a sequence and remove some elements, what you're left with is a subsequence. If you take a sequence and you select some contiguous elements, what you get is a substring. So "amqz" is a subsequence of the alphabet but not a substring. "lmnop" is a substring and a subsequence.

Huh? Are you saying you can't make a profit from gpl-ed code? Then why was it written to begin with? If company A can profit from it, then so can company B.

As far as licenses are concerned anyway. Time to market and network effects are probably much more important.

9 Ways to Build a Great Engineering Culture
There's a spectrum of 'accountable' between being an unemployable pariah and being totally unaccountable which disorganized mass action cannot be properly calibrated for.
Fine, but obviously it's not only the vaccine manufacturers who are pushing for things like mandatory vaccinations for public school enrolment (except where unable, e.g. immunocompromised children unable to tolerate the vaccination itself). It's also, y'know, people with an interest in promoting public health, people who understand the concept of herd immunity, and people who have a reasonably tuned sense of social responsibility. So, sure: Big Bharma employs lobbying as part of their business strategies. This is both unsurprising and irrelevant to the overall societal benefit of high immunisation rates.

> edit: obviously lobbying is not 100% responsible for all vaccinations laws, but it's partly so and increasing

But how can you tell that the number of vaccination laws passed due to lobbying is increasing? Or possibly you just meant that lobbying dollars are increasing. But higher dollar values alone would tell us nothing about the relative success of that lobbying in getting laws passed. For example, perhaps the laws were going to be passed regardless, and the increased spend is illusory, being attributable to a general trend of increased lobbying spend in US big-business, inflation, or other factors. In an environment where lobbying is the norm, I think gauging the "effectiveness" of lobbying spend, especially for something which lots of people generally seem to support anyway, is a hard problem.

This is a problem with any optimization that relies on analysis vs. language guarantees; if you can't codify some optimization in your semantics, it might as well not exist and can go away given any small change in your code. You have to track both correctness and performance regressions, with no real easy guidance on the latter.

Blackboard Flirts with Buying Pearson’s PowerSchool
For me Popcorn Time's biggest value proposition is not free content, but ability the selection and ability to watch with one click. Most media companies, with all the resources at their hands still haven't nail the experience. To find the movie I want I really need to browse multiple catalogues (itunes, amazon, netflix) - neither of them always have what I want. Then you have to login, updates cards and all this hassle.

So although right now their sites just aggregates, in the future it could allow you to prepay/buy credits which would be used to pay off the content owner/distributor (i.e amazon) each time you click Play.

Point being - to me it make complete sense to compare it PT
Science Based Medicine is a movement to improve Evidence Based Medicine with a stronger focus on scientifically rigorous evidence. It's not in opposition to EBM.

To quote the SBM blog's about page:

"Good science is the best and only way to determine which treatments and products are truly safe and effective. That idea is already formalized in a movement known as evidence-based medicine (EBM). EBM is a vital and positive influence on the practice of medicine, but it has limitations and problems in practice: it often overemphasizes the value of evidence from clinical trials alone, with some unintended consequences, such as taxpayer dollars spent on “more research” of questionable value. The idea of SBM is not to compete with EBM, but a call to enhance it with a broader view: to answer the question “what works?” we must give more importance to our cumulative scientific knowledge from all relevant disciplines."

You can find the original Science Based Medicine announcement on their blog http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/hello-world/ and there's a decent bit of background on Pain Science https://www.painscience.com/articles/ebm-vs-sbm.php as well.
Gigabyte caught in Bait and Switch i.e. dropping features and capabilities
Well, technically they are replicating the study over 50+ different hospitals until they reach some confidence interval on the safety data. If you get fraud in a small fraction of them, it should not (and if you read the actual testimony, does not) impact the net result.
If all the steps are made available in the paper to reproduce the experiment I would consider it science. Just because people don't replicate the study because of other factors like time or money shouldn't take away from the first experiment.

Somebody has to be first.
