The way to stop a politically charged debate is not necessarily to pick up your ball and go home. Saying the equivalent of "we're obviously right and you're wrong" is most certainly one of the worst ways to stop such a debate.

The reason is simple: it doesn't stop the debate - it just takes control over the debate out of your hands and puts it into the hands of a disgruntled user who will discuss this in a forum you don't control.

Users who feel they have a legitimate grievance and are cut out of the official conversation tend stop being users, and in the worst case may become the exact opposite of an evangelist for your project - they become someone who will dissuade other users from working with your project.

Which is worse? Using a product possibly compromised by the US government, or using a product built with stolen technology possibly compromised by the US government, subsidized by a government whose surveillance state the NSA can't even aspire to.
> if copying isn't fine, then this doesn't change that.

Good point. I imagine it would be possible to transfer ownership of a SharedArrayBuffer to the main thread from a worker, just as it is done today with zero-copy transferable ArrayBuffers.

References to the SharedArrayBuffer in all workers would be made unusable. When the code on the main thread is done it can transfer ownership of the SharedArrayBuffer back to the workers.
perhaps these two projects would interest you?

Hey, I'd recommend changing your font-size from 200pt to 16vw(ish). This should make it fully responsive.
The only way to define an economic decision as rational is if it optimizes for the market value. The rational thing to do in the bulb mania was to produce tulip bulbs.
I should clarify, I think they should be strictly following web standards, and by doing so, they help to force those sites not following standards to update their code, or die. I don't want my browser using extra resources, and having extra features and menus to improve compatibility with someone's sloppy, hacked together website from the 90s. I'd rather that site appear broken because it's not following standards, and by doing so, it's encouraged to update, or be replaced by someone else.

I believe this would allow for a smaller browser footprint, and we'd see better coded websites in the long run, instead of carrying them through.

For example, we get a new IE browser, that follows standards to the T. If your site doesn't work in IE, it's not because "it's IE, use a real browser", it's because you didn't code your site properly. In the video they talk about how they would previously look at the top 10k websites and ensure compatibility, and now they're looking at millions and billions. They shouldn't look at anything. If Reddit doesn't work in the new version of IE, because they're not following standards, then so be it. Don't look at methods of relaxing those standards and bending the rules to get Reddit working. Leave it broken, and let the users apply pressure to Reddit because the site isn't working in IE. As I said above, they can't laugh off IE anymore, because it's not some dumb, outdated browser. Instead, it's following standards, so Reddit is broken, not IE. It would be the gold standard... in standards. You check to make sure your site works in IE, because if it does, then you coded it right. If your site displays fine in Firefox and Chrome, you don't really know if it's coded properly, or if they just held your hand to make it display correctly.

I hope that's not the whole point of an ORM given how pervasive they seem to be in every project and how few any given projects ever switch their backend out. Choosing an ORM because it abstracts you away from the storage engine seems like a terrible reason.

I agree with Conery, choose the components that will compose your application wisely and then embrace those choices and use them to their fullest.

You obviously have no understanding that the world is much bigger than the context where you are comparing a particular Software Engineering degree with other CS degrees. When compared across the whole world, CS and Software Engineering are basically synonyms. If anything Software Engineering is less technical.

And you also haven't explained why a slightly greater focus on traditional engineering/math is relevant to employers.
The discussion in this corefx github issue is pretty interesting to follow.

https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/973

It probably answers a few of the questions several have asked in this thread with regards to what the .NET Core is.
(a) Yes, databases scale badly. You don't want to run your entire application there. Yet, code that reads a huge volume of data, calculates something based on parameters, and write it back to the DB will put more weight on your DB servers if it's run from the application layer; code that enforces the consistency of the data needs a strongly enforced policy if you keep it in any other place, but it works completely transparently if you place it in the database; code that denormalize the data will be much easier to use if you can run directly on your queries...

(b) Been there, done that. Migrating code is EASY. Data is what's hard.

(c) Is that a joke? Honestly, I can't tell.

(d) That's more a reason to integrate those teams than to choose one place over the other. The programmers can disrupt the database on several ways without putting code there, and don't get any extra power by running their code in a different server.

By the way, the data that was famously leaking recently was mostly from email and file servers...

I just went through a 2 month ordeal with my ISP trying to get basic service. It's working now so I think it's resolved for the moment but I don't have much faith in them. Unfortunately I'm expecting further outages.

I thought about making a tool like this as well as crazier ideas like getting my lawyer to sue them for their incompetence - as it happens they are my only option for broadband.

What I'd like and I think alot of other customers would like is a little app to run on my computers that tracks when my internet connection goes down and for exactly how long. I pay a fixed amount monthly. As I'm concerned that pro-rata amount of lost connection time should be refunded to me from the ISP. There is no incentive for them to get better unless they lose money from their shit service.

I think it'd be a good adware product to cover basic expenses, and maybe some money could be made by taking a peice of crowd funded lawsuits vs ISPs. With my ISPs customer base, I don't think it'd be too hard to find contributors...
And being an open source project, if they have strong opinions otherwise they are free to fork the project and compete with it.

The marketplace can determine if this is something that it finds to be onerous.
I see only blue and black, but some people claim they see white and gold.
Net neutrality is the way things ran for most of the last 20 years. This is less of a change but a return to what worked well in the recent past. The reason we are even discussing this topic is that telecoms are moving away from net neutrality.

A) What happens if your ISP blocks all VOIP traffic unless you buy their phone service bundle? Or throttle all streaming video (which competes with their cable offerings)? In other markets these would be seen as an abuse of monopoly power (which, in many local markets, telecoms are). Given that, is indeed a government concern.

B) Any workaround is trivially blocked by the ISP.

C) It isn't obvious to the consumer why a site is slow, especially if some competing sites do pay the extra fees ISPs are asking for. Again, local monopolies (and oligopolies) mean that telecoms don't have much incentive to make their customers happier: at this point nobody is going to forgo internet service entirely.

As far as billion dollar enterprises are concerned, Google, Facebook, or Skype could have been squashed in their infancy. AOL search would be the best we ever got - or the only search engine that AOL users could access: there's no incentive to improve when you're the only option.
You are laboring under a raft of assumptions.

Does it serve US policy to have a stable Iraq capable of teaming up with Iran?

Does the US stand to gain or lose if security is lessened worldwide?

Does the debt matter when the currency is artificial and the countries that rely on it are bolstered by a very effective and very experienced security apparatus?

Are resources only defined as raw materials?

There is no such thing as a total loss unless one is annihilated.

Do not mistake me; the Iraq conflict was a terrible waste and IMO an unnecessary diversion. But i think you should remember that policy is not formulated and followed to please citizens and academia.

There is a long game here. Consider the development and placement of nuclear weapons, specifically mobile systems, in the European Theater during the Cold War [sic]. The point was not MAD. USSR had a 5:1 ratio in terms of tanks. Not USSR v. USA; USSR v. NATO. People [read civilian critics] pay altogether too much attention to the big, scary strategic nukes. Tactical nukes are the real game changer in a conflict. TacNukes can be used for so much more than StratNukes. yet all i ever hear people talk about are the big ones.

What i am trying to say is that today's losses might be tomorrows gains. The US may have wasted a couple hundred billion, 4000 drones [that word means more than what it is typically used for these days], and a fuck ton of civilians. But the US now has the most experienced army in the world in terms of urban conflict. China is big, India is growing, Russia is heavily armed... but which country has the most JG and NonCom officers with battle experience? Which country has built a private military apparatus in parallel with its State Military apparatus?

Again, this shit destroys me on the inside. From an objective point of view... remember Red Alert, the RTS game? Do you remember Einstein's comment at the end of the intro movie?

The #1 problem cited by distributed teams is task management – the #2 problem cited is long threads. Email is an inefficient tool for task management and effective collaboration – that’s why we created MetaChi. MetaChi is the most effective task management tool for distributed teams. An added benefit is that MetaChi offers real-time quantified team and self-analytics that helps users understand how they collaborate with others
Flash Translation Layer is critical to performance. Googling "flash translation layer performance" should be enough to convince you of this.

Moving it from firmware to file system does not improve performance by itself, but it enables optimizations. And FTLs in firmware are far from optimal.

Without Stalinism the USSR would have probably lost WW2, which in turn means Hitler would not have been defeated. Sad but true.
If you want a casual opinion, it sounds like you are a technical founder who needs a business partner.

You would have a salesman, a mix of personalities, and might have less turn over (I've gone through a few team members coming and going during the last 15 months.)

You would also have the brain space to know exactly what you need for your next engineering hire.

It is also interesting that in the last decade or so Putin has been trying to historically redeem Stalin. "He was brutal this and that", but, "he did all these great things as well" kind of idea.

Maybe realizing he is also a dictator by redeeming one of the most brutal and evil dictators he is also legitimizing his own power.

Stefan Molyneux came out with a one hour long video today - very detailed historic overview and discussion - of the government involvement that led to the current state of affairs (which beg for more government involvement, etc). Its worth watching it in its entirety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z_nBhfpmk4 Personally, I can't stand Comcast/Verizon/AT&T either, but I was born in Stasi East Germany. To me, the idea to further entrench government in what should be a completely free market place, seems backwards.
So, What's the Open Pandora Community Made Of?
> I'm not up to speed on Bittorrent, but are they specifically blocking Bittorrent, or is coming under the ruberic of "thou shall not run a server behind your cable modem"?

Maybe try googling before you comment? Comcast would inject forged TCP rst packets to inbound bittorrent connections. It did not send these packets to people running servers or other peer-to-peer protocols. In fact, people complained that the resets would sometimes prevent Windows Remote Desktop from working and Comcast adjusted their system to prevent it from jamming.

> I'm interested to know what other sorts of things/applications ISPs may be blocking. Is there a name-and-shame site out there listing various ISPs and what they don't allow.

The current issue isn't really blocking, it's throttling. There are a couple of sites that do this sort of measurements. Look at http://www.measurementlab.net/

> Is it 10% of the population who can't get DSL, wireless, satellite or some other form of competition of some kind?

The FCC's current definition of broadband is 25mbps.

Vast majority of DSL isn't broadband speed (Avg is 10Mbps.) 4g isn't broadband speed (~12Mbps). Satellite isn't broadband speed (~15Mbps and usually expensive compared to wired.)

At 25mbps, 20% have no service and 55% have only one service.

Any recent version of collectd has the write_graphite plugin. Mix that with the ping plugin and you're all set. About five minutes of work (assuming you have a graphite stack already).
My raspberry pi runs graphite / statsd and my personal servers write all sorts of useful system / network metrics to it via collectd.

You don't think "godonearth, I mean, government" and calling half the population "collectivist", "communist", "fascist", and "brainless" might be a little bit emotional? I downvoted it because it was a content-free screed full of political shibboleths and mantras.
It's a good thing we have electric lighting now, so people can get up at 2pm and still work a 14 hour day.

It's a shame working long hours is both inefficient and socially encouraged.

It's not coincidental that early waking insomnia sets in around middle age, and workplaces where the senior staff are middle age encourage early start times.

Personally, I think we should respect people who get things done rather than concentrating on signalling. I'll still be in work early though because society disagrees.

The Economist normally does this. To give levity to subject matter which is normally wonkish I suppose.
12 dead is in no way near to war. From a plethora of potential regions to reference [CAR, San Pedro Sula in Honduras, Myanmar, Sonora and Chihuahua in Mexico, Nigeria, Mali, Chad, Niger, Libya, Punjabi region, Western Province of Pakistan, Colombia] i am surprised you picked Paris.

Regardless, you make my point: everything is cool until it is not. So who stands to gain by making shit fall apart?

My money is on a country overstocked with weapon systems, an abundance of ultra nationalists, and a near mono-economy.

Do those people who see it as black and blue have color blindness of some kind? It's quite clearly brown and blue-gray to me. The eye dropper in Paint.Net says the same thing. Not sure how anyone can get black out of this.
Because debating things is what people do and should do. Also, the scientific system in the Soviet Union does not automatically equate to Stalinism.

On of the closing paragraphs more or less answers your question:

"To avert any misunderstanding: I am not defending the Soviet Science System; I am describing it. There was a great deal of shoddy work, rent-seeking and suffering within that system. But there was also extremely good work, and the latter was a product of the system that engendered the former. That’s the paradox that comes from looking at any science system: it wouldn’t be a system at all if it didn’t, in some sense, work."
The parent is referring to the fact that consumer plans for nearly all ISPs don't guarantee 4 Mbps at all times. Instead they offer "up to 4 Mbps". Average performance is less than that, especially at high-usage times of day.

That's ultimately true of any framework, but ORMs are a beast all their own. Having a light abstraction framework on top of SQL, that ultimately respects it, makes a huge difference at the end of the day. No magic, just results. I've watched coworkers spend days tracking down obscure performance issues related to mapping in Hibernate that just wouldn't occur when using something like jOOQ. The only overhead I get is possibly having some DTOs to map into via a simple interface. Hardly more effort than one would expend configuring Hibernate mappings what with its myriad options.
Collectd is pretty awesome for tracking the state of a machine. I use it all over the place.

Scientists don't care if you're left or right as long as you do good work. The fact party-line GOP dogma prevents scientists from doing good work in some fields is not science's problem, and does not represent scientists ousting conservatives from science.
> Land is limited, where is the FCC for land?

Lol, that's the government. You cannot "freely buy and sell" land, you have to follow certain processes to register your dealings and you are responsible for how you use that land (zoning, environmental laws etc). That's basically what the FCC does for airwaves, except they want to make sure you'll be "responsible" before they actually allow you to register your dealings.

It's not 1950. The WASPs lost their lock on the establishment around the time my father was born. The Ivy League graduate Liberal intelligentsia have been the establishment for 40 years on the outside.

Jeb's Catholicism is not a big deal for his electability or this would not be the first time I'd heard of it. By this time Mitt Romney's run I'd read multiple discussions on his Mormonism.
From what I've seen, SIMD.js does make doing some calculations quicker, although it's not the 4x increase one might assume. It's more like 30% to 50%. The latency and overhead associated with moving the SIMD.js calculations into a Web Worker actually reduces the performance increase to as little as 10% to 20%.

While message passing might make sense for some tasks, it's not going to be quick enough to do things in 16ms and achieve the magical 60fps. Eventually shared memory is going to be needed, and if we get that far I think there will have to be some sort of acknowledgement that these performance-related features can't possibly be foolproof.

Oh, and an asynchronous thread safe DOM, please and thanks :)
If you look at science and technology/engineering as a unified field, you can see that not everything conforms to the "American" model: the military is arguably just as important to American science/technology as it was to Soviet science (the Manhattan Project, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Air Force owned forging presses, ARPANet, the DoE, Boeing, the Dodge Brothers plant to manufacture recoil cylinders, etc.)

P(D) is the probability of observing the data you just saw, due to either the null or non-null hypothesis. It's a strictly Bayesian quantity, since it's dependent on a prior. If your model has only a null and alternative hypothesis, then:
