This is an _incredibly_ well-crafted piece of work. I mean -- my god -- the pressure wave animation? [1]

I do think there is a pretty big incentive now for really smart people to work on the world's most important problems (disease, famine, poverty, education, etc) knowing there is a lot of capital to back it up. I know internally at TGF they've been working to market their grant programs better to encourage more young "startup" companies apply.
Sip all you want. It's free until you serve that beer for money in your successful restaurant.
Your comment is useless without elaboration.
> The Charlie Hebdo attacks were other beer.

Is "other beer" an expression in some language?
Except you are constrained by obligations. The obligation to pay a % of revenue. I mean I think the model is great. But calling it free is ridiculous.
I don't see how. The abstraction here is automatic memory management -- i.e. the GC -- and the problem is that the abstraction doesn't work for this popular use case. The language needs to provide a more flexible abstraction: a thread-safe GC.

And it's not a question of optimization, it's a question of semantics. Performing an operation in a background thread with a strong mutable reference to an object is a semantic concept. Without a thread-safe GC you simply can't do it.
This also seems opinion based. I'd argue Drupal has a much stronger community ;)
Yep, had a play around with fetch but it didn't seem ready and acted kind of weird. Can't remember exactly what was wrong as it was a while ago.

I imagine once fetch is decent, most libraries like this won't be hugely useful, but in the mean time, something like xr is a nice way to have a very tiny dependency that makes making AJAX requests just that little bit nicer.
not subject to or constrained by engagements or obligations

Free software very much is subject to engagements and obligations, these being the terms of the respective license.

Is your argument based on an excessively restrictive, ideologically motivated definition of the word "free" that does not fully represent how the word is used in practice?

It's funny, because by your own statement, "open source" is also an excessively restrictive and ideologically motivated definition, what with OSI and FSF definitions being largely equivalent. For some reason I doubt you believe this.

When you're talking about software, you should not blame others for assuming "free" refers to the FSF definition, especially in announcements targeted towards technically inclined audiences.
Why? What's your justification?
When in the Launcher, goto the "Library" item on the left. You'll be able to install engines there.
If you use it for non commercial purposes it is free enough.
Their interface forgets I've read things, and their CSS has always been a huge fuck-up. Even after you turn off the stupid "magazine mode", it cuts off images at some small number of hundreds of pixels while there's a thousand pixels of whitespace to the right.

Yup, but that doesn't change the fact that he's right though. Read through his posts -- it is readily apparent that he knows what he is talking about.

>>> Symple PC runs the open source Ubuntu Linux operating system and doesn't require you to give your data to a company you may or may not trust.

How is this possible? It has ethernet connection and so it is possible to connect to internet and thus same as any other interconnected device. How this machine will be more trustworthy than other PC's/phones?

>>> cost of $89

Following dell[1] at 500 GB hard disk is at $229. It can work safely for at least 2 years and if we go by advanced replacement warranty of in this case, symple comes to around $170. So price-wise it is not much different but configuration of 80 GB HDD is just too small.

> That's a trivial fix in Varnish. I run Varnish in front of WP for my own personal blog.

Yup. We use Nginx, but do something similar. However the point remains that it's something that you have to identify as a problem and secure in the first place. All of the fixes are relatively trivial, but tracking down and solving a hundred trivial problems quickly becomes a big mess.

> If that's the worst sin they've committed, then I'd say they're doing pretty well.

Agreed.

> Securing WP isn't that tough.

I disagree. Sure, you could follow the dozen or so different recommendations on the web for securing WordPress, but that only gets you to 90%. That remaining 9.999% is much harder, and is going to depend heavily on how you're using WordPress. As a result, you'll have to be intelligent about which threats this opens you up to, and the best ways to work around them.
Is this really a problem though? I mean this is clearly a solution, but references are really just a few names and numbers an employer might call to do a quick background check. There isn't really a need to save/manage/revisit them after the hiring process is over.
I got the impression more that the Gates' were eager to devote more money to the foundation, and the hurry is placed on finding worthwile ways to spend that money, rather than literally 'give this to anyone who will take it!'

Indeed. It's kinda of a thing to think about as, presumably, one would want to do something special in those scenarios.

I guess a discussion would be a bunch of example situations and whether they needed to be treated specially.

Well, there are "high-performance things" I like more in Clojure, for example:

- areduce / amap

- Uncleaned data is often of Object type (due to missing or invalid values) upon which one can apply the complete core.reducer functions without intermediate representations. In Java this would be horrible.

Still, you're right in the sense that Clojure execution isn't fast than Java's, just its development.

Most people who died in childhood in the past died because of diseases that had absolutely nothing to do with intellect - typhoid, tuberculosis, cholera, diptheria etc.

Surely in an age of widespread literacy and limited manual labour, those with low intellect today are faced with a far harder struggle than those in the past. Only a few hundred years ago the vast majority of humans were engaged in farming and manual labour - not particularly demanding of intelligence.

Even if your theory (that those of low intellect used to die off at a far greater rate than those of high intellect) had any basis in fact, it strikes me as remarkable that it would take less than 50 years (perhaps 2 generations) for the effect to be so pronounced that television producers were forced to reduce script vocabulary. You'd think that a crisis of this magnitude would at least be noticed.

Perhaps (and I only guess here) the reason the lexicon of television might have fallen is less to do with a reduction of the audience's intelligence and more to do with the slow realisation of television producers that simpler, less wordy television shows have greater mass appeal.

Television used to be a near-monopoly serving the establishment. It's now incredibly competitive driven entirely by ratings.

Evolution works over periods far, far greater than single generations. If you're proposing that society has seen a significant fall in average vocabulary over a generation, rather than simply blaming people getting "dumber", perhaps you should look at how your education system is failing.
No, it's not Open Source either: http://opensource.org/osd
> The second type of bug (misunderstanding the semantics of the target architecture) is, as far as I know, impossible to avoid. Any verification project can end up with a true proof of the wrong theorem!

Indeed. However, although it's impossible to avoid, you can still take steps to make it less likely.

When you formally verify code, you are showing that a program has a particular specification.

If you want to eliminate errors in your specification, you should aim to make it as simple as possible, so that people with domain knowledge (in this case, people with a correct understanding of PPC) would be able to tell whether your specification is correct.

In addition, if they decide to ever scale it nationally, they could become a big player in affecting the Android experience. For example, currently most Android phones come with a lot of bloat. If Google decides to mandate phones contain minimal bloat (just Google apps preinstalled), it could potentially force other carriers to follow suit, making Android phones more competitive with the iPhone.

On one channel it was asserted the inflation adjusted number would be 7000. And of course had you been an a NASDAQ index 'fund' it means you would still be negative from 2000 as you're 15 years of fund fees would still have been subtracted.

Looking at the market for editors is the wrong place to start as their users aren't necessarily going to be your users.

The key questions you need to ask are:

1) What's going to be your competitive advantage ?

2) How much are people going to be willing to pay for it ? (i.e. go and ask them)

3) How many of them are there and how can you get to them.
How to configure Nginx to return an error for requests without a matching host
He/she is referring to WordPress' use of the Front Controller design pattern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Controller_pattern), which of all the things about WordPress you could choose to hyperventilate over seems like a strange one to go with.
It seems like almost every project I work on could benefit from a general-purpose library for storing JSON documents along with a change history, including the change timestamp and author. Also the ability to merge two divergent branches and flag merges that need manual attention. I feel like this has been re-invented again and again. It's a bit like embedding git in your application---and maybe that's even the best way to go. It would sure be useful! So I wonder if this Wiki project will have some way to extract just that bit of functionality. The distributed nature makes me thing probably not, but who knows?
Funnily enough I found this Steve Yegge piece from 2004: https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/ten-predictions

Check out the first prediction.
It's not as clear cut. You can use C# with Unreal Engine if you prefer, and Unreal Engine offers a lot that Unity doesn't (e.g. Blueprints).

I recommend everyone interested in the two try both. I personally prefer Unreal Engine, but everyone is different.

Unreal Engine is also moving quite quickly, adding new features, marketplace content, improving the UI, etc.
I think you're misunderstanding what Self means in the definition of Neg. The Self is only there so that it is clear which type's "Output" is being referred to. It doesn't establish any type/trait/lifetime relationship between the type of the receiver and the output type. It would be perfectly possible to implement Neg with a 'static output lifetime.
Purely in Term edit, no idea about Gvim
If Google really wants to become a MVNO, then I don't understand why they haven't bought Republic Wireless yet. They had a chance at becoming the most vertically integrated carrier when they owned Motorola Mobility, and they've already got a relationship with Republic's parent company providing the back-end for Google Voice.

> If you are telling me your version number, andthere are known CVEs, but an automated exploit seems to be failing, I will try other things.

But that has nothing to do with you knowing the version number. The problem there is running an old version with known CVEs. In that scenario you're vulnerable whether the version number is public or not.

Keep your software up to date and it won't matter if an attacker can get the version number, because all it will tell them is that there's no old exploits they can take advantage of.
No one's pushing my swings! I've already accounted for the input, it's the great mass of the swaying tree (and in turn the wind etc.), and like the tides' moon it's the same input to both swings, only one's them is swinging like the clappers whilst the other barely moves. Even though the former clearly has more energy at a given point in time most of that is a one off build up, and there can't be any more repeatedly extractable energy in the big swinger than the small.

It's been really interesting watching the media constantly trying to predict the "End of America" over the last 7 years since 2008.

As far as I can tell, the only reason this saga continues is because of the marketing hype it builds. Most of the people I know who watch only mainstream news all believe that we are going to have a massive crash that will completely kill our country in a few years.

When you actually ignore the hype and look at purely the numbers you'll see that the US is doing incredible compared to the rest of the world right now. The Euro is crashing, Russia is in ruins, Saudi Arabia's OPEC squeeze is now hurting all of the other "US enemies" while the net effect of the oil crisis on the US is mostly zero-sum.

I'm incredibly bullish on the US right now. Sure we'll probably have another small crash in the next few years but we'll recover quickly and keep on surging for the foreseeable future. That's the nature of market cycles! It's super easy to be negative and for some reason that's the cool trend for people to take right now but frankly the macro-view of the facts say differently.
> as long as [homelessness] remains a profitable and easy lifestyle

In what ways do you believe this to be true? There are NO homeless people who are in that position because they felt it was more profitable or easier than getting a job and living in a house. This is the same insanity that insists that people on unemployment benefits are somehow living an easy life, feeding cynically off the state, rather than trapped in poverty.

The article also dismisses most of your other points. In particular, noting that San Francisco has a minimal homelessness problem compared to such liberal cities as Washington DC or New York.

I was thinking about the case when you get unaligned data (eg you are reading from a file or from the network). Then you need to copy the data anyway.
You mean things like fists, feet, pipes, kitchen knives, crowbars, hammers, that kinda thing?

Yes. Actually, there was an incident I was personally witness to involving someone's 8 year old son and an ordinary clawhammer. There is clearly such a thing as "desensitization," and opposition to the notion is usually the kind of unconscious bias one generally sees in politics. < http://lesswrong.com/lw/gw/politics_is_the_mindkiller/ > Note that my position is not so simpleminded as to be simply placed on one side or another of the typical Internet argument.

If you believe that widespread gun ownership generally increases the incidence of gun injuries, then you are subscribing to the same general theory, that availability increases likelihood. Do I believe that's a justification for banning things? No, but we should be honest about the existence of such effects. (Also, fists and feet are an entirely different category, as they are naturally part of your body. And while I said it wasn't common in some places, in others kids do use those to enact violence.)

Like others said, if video games made normal people violent you'd see a lot more violence.

I would put good odds on your repeating what lots of people angrily repeat on the Internet in defense of their hobby. In the grand scheme of things, people are violent! We are extraordinarily violent as animals. In particular, we have an ability to band together in groups and murder each other in a coordinated fashion, one that probably predates our getting language! We also accomplish fantastic things living together, so we also have fantastic mechanisms for coexisting. Seeing things in media does have the effect of reinforcing the portrayed actions and scenarios in our minds. However, human minds are very complex and robust. We have mental defenses, much as we have homeostatic mechanisms.

That anecdote about the 'enacting a GTA scenario' would also have happened just like that without the GTA link. Then it becomes a guy with a gun in a police station.

Read up on the incident and honestly tell me that GTA had nothing to do with putting the idea into his head. Of course, one could also find other pieces of media he was exposed to conveying much the same message. The systemic problems resulting in his violence are probably more serious and of greater import to society than the content of some video game.
Social Media Marketing Guide for Business Owners
The funny thing for me was that when I first heard about 401k programs the talks discounted the period of time during the depression as that was 'anomalous'. Having run the experiment you've proposed (although I started putting money into a 401k in '86) I think when we did the calculation my rate of return from that period to today for the 401k it was like 3.2%. (and there are things that drag it down like fund loading etc and my initial exuberance as a young investor for 'risk' as I figured I had plenty of time to make it back later if it went down. ) Not the sales pitch they investors want you to hear :-)

From the article, since many people seem not to have read this far:

It doesn’t—not even close. “San Francisco is not by any stretch of the imagination the homeless capital of the United States,” says Jeff Kositsky, executive director of the nonprofit Hamilton Family Center, which provides housing and social services for homeless families. “We don’t have any more homeless, either families or single adults, than other cities.” The latest available numbers bear out his assertion: According to federally mandated “point-in-time” homeless surveys—city-specific audits conducted every other year on a single night in late January (and an admittedly controversial metric that many experts insist undercounts the true number of homeless people)— San Francisco had 6,436 homeless in 2013, out of a population of 837,442. By comparison, other large cities with exorbitant costs of living fared even worse. Washington, D.C., had a greater number of homeless, 7,748, out of a much smaller population of 646,449. Honolulu had 4,712 homeless out of a population of 374,658. Closer to home, cities like Los Angeles (34,393), San Jose (7,567), and Seattle (8,949) all tallied more homeless people than did San Francisco, though those numbers represent countywide, not citywide, totals.
That article does not seem to claim that point in it. Maybe I just missed it. But I checked all usages of high, population, city, and cities, so if the point is made in that article is is done so with different enough language to be difficult to find considering the article's length.

Edit: That all means I am calling bullshit on that being a citation for that fact (or 'fact' depending on your view of it).
