From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1Fg76c4Zfg, an interview with Jon Blow:

"I really value that click that happens in your head between when you see something and you don't quite understand it, and then when suddenly you do understand it, and that is a fundamental part of human existence in the world, is that kind of mental growth, that kind of expanding of one's sphere of understanding of the world."

If Stallman wanted to kill commercial software he would have put wording into the GPL to prevent its use in commercial products. As it stands I can still use the GPL on a commercial product, of course it is a rather odd choice since the user is free to take the work and redistribute it, which is why going the commercial support route is much more typical.

Just like the intelligence gleaned from breaking German WWII encryption was limited?

If information can be non-invasively extracted, then there is only an operational limit on use. And isn't knowing mass information just as wrong as acting on mass information?

Unless it's a computationally-expensive attack (which are getting more infeasible now that key sizes aren't technically as limited), you run into the encryption problem: either everything being encrypted is okay, or nothing being encrypted is okay.

That's the nature of secrecy.
Just to clarify some science. The link between HPV and cancer is direct, strong and without dispute. It's one of the rare cases where we can pinpoint exactly how a disease/cancer works.

HPV wants its own DNA to be replicated properly - but a particular protein (P53) in humans impairs the virus' ability to replicate. So the virus has evolved the ability to shut down that human protein. The problem is that P53 also serves another role in humans other than helping to stop viruses - it is a DNA repair protein. So the virus, by shutting down the ability of the cell's ability to repair its own DNA it becomes much more susceptible to DNA-damaging events like smoking, UV light and old age generally.

There are a handful of proteins responsible for keeping your cells from becoming cancerous. P53 is the name of one of these control proteins. HPV has evolved to actively destroy P53. So once a person is infected with HPV, their own P53 proteins are compromised and can no longer repair their DNA as efficiently as someone who is not infected with HPV.

The HPV vaccine is one of the very clearest lines of causality from atomic resolution biology through public policy. It's an amazing feat of society.

There have been several times in my career where I have missed full SQL support in MySQL databases other people have setup and left for me to maintain. Choosing MySQL isn't the worst thing one can do when building a new system, but just because the initial designers don't intend to use advanced SQL features doesn't mean future use cases wont benefit from full SQL support.
Honest question: Why do you feel entitled to more of his work?

Watterson:

> This isn't as hard to understand as people try to make it. By the end of ten years, I'd said pretty much everything I had come there to say. It's always better to leave the party early. If I had rolled along with the strip's popularity and repeated myself for another five, ten, or twenty years, the people now "grieving" for Calvin and Hobbes would be wishing me dead and cursing newspapers for running tedious, ancient strips like mine instead of acquiring fresher, livelier talent. And I'd be agreeing with them. I think some of the reason Calvin and Hobbes still finds an audience today is because I chose not to run the wheels off it. I've never regretted stopping when I did.

IMO angular is bloated and I absolutely despise using their weird template markup.
Sorry, I don't see the connection. Yes, a successful candidate is worth a lot of money to Kalzumeus, and they are incented to make sure that the solutions are real and not plagiarized. But that salary is worth even more to that successful candidate, and hence they would be willing to pay handsomely for someone to write customized, non-plagiarized solutions for them if it gets them in. (The mythical level 45 mentioned would cost $44K. If I'd done the math, I probably would've made it more. I guess the level 52 would be nearly $750K...)

For now, I'm assuming they have good protection against automated solutions. If it were just a matter of detecting plagiarism, you're right that it would be trivial. (Heck, I even cofounded a company that did code plagiarism detection, so I have a very good sense for how easy or hard it is. tl;dr: it's straightforward to defeat a plagiarism detector if you are sufficiently motivated and knowledgeable and willing to put in some time to go through all the code, but people/companies who plagiarize are typically none of those.)

Detecting whether someone else is doing the candidate's work, on the other hand, is impossible. Unless you bend the rules. Fortunately, the rules seem pretty pliable to me -- when a candidate arrives at a company's interview, spot-check them on their understanding of a few of "their" trickier solutions. It's a logistical nuisance, to be sure.

I'm strongly opposed to sweeping surveillance, but not even a little bit torn on this story. I'm glad it's now public knowledge, but this is exactly the sort of thing our intelligence agencies should be doing.

Edit to expand on "should be doing": at the very least, they ought to explore such vulnerabilities as a defensive measure since their counterparts in every other State are clearly doing the same thing whenever they have the capability.

Visibility is the most useful and always under-rated feature. If I can clarify some of the recent enhancements here:

- MySQL 5.6 introduced `EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON`. MySQL Workbench uses this to visualize query plans (important as they get complicated.)

- Also in 5.6 was optimizer trace (find out why indexes were not used etc.) and performance_schema enabled by default.

- MySQL 5.7 adds cost information to `EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON` (Workbench also understands it.)

- Workbench also has a set of performance views based on Performance_schema (based on a project called SYS). You can install it as standalone from here too: https://github.com/MarkLeith/mysql-sys

- The runtime performance data from SYS is very useful for making correct optimization decisions. Being an SQL interface is also friendly for writing your own scripts against it.

Also, to clarify on your first paragraph:

Yes, refactoring old code was one of the ways this was achieved. We picked refactoring targets based on performance and because some of the older code is not very testable.
I have the same experience with Amazon whenever I buy a big-ticket item. When I interviewed with them, I asked them if they were working on that. "Yes, but it's hard."

A few years later my brother interviewed with them and they asked him how to solve that problem. I wonder if they were stumped, and if they were just looking for new ideas.
Don't you think that your observations could be naturally distorted by survivorship bias? I mean, it would be very hard for people to have a conflict between beliefs and their job duties for a prolonged time; something gotta give. Those who stay, change their beliefs (or articulate their loyalty at least to themselves and, perhaps, become "more motivated" as you describe) and those who keep their beliefs just quit and you no longer see them around.
Adblock/proxies/private browsing are one way (not recommended really) to choose. Another is to opt out of major networks, just search for "ad network opt out". Here's a starting point: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/

Btw, we track that you've opted-out using the same methods we track everything else. So if you try to get around with adblock, etc then we don't know you've opted-out and we don't know your history either so we show you even worse/generic ads. It's a catch 22 but that's reality.

You've expressed interest in boots, now you'll keep seeing ads for boots until you either buy boots (and that purchase data somehow finds it way back to the retargeting networks) or until the history segment expires. That's what advertising is for. Do you complain about billboards for movies you've already seen? At least online we can be a little bit more dynamic about it. But again, it's very tough with users complaining about privacy and the dozens of companies that data has to go through. You want us to know whether we can ship to you, but we dont have your address. We dont know who you are, where you live, or any of that. There are ways to try and figure this out, but it's usually not worth the cost and again there are privacy issues. Do you want us to know your address? If no, then how do you suggest we solve this?

It's not perfect, there's a massive amount of technology involved but it's still a challenge to tie everything together so I hope you understand that this isnt something we take lightly but its unfortunately the best we can do right now.

Now if you're saying you've never been impacted by ads online, that's pretty much scientifically wrong. Even the smallest impression does add up and eventually influence something down the line. Nobody wants to admit it, and you might not even notice, but I promise it's working.

So will there be profile scores? Will any company or person able to see how a participant is doing in StarFighter? If it is so, companies will use it as a differentiating factor in the hiring process. And that's what I'm talking about.

The science of protecting people’s feelings – Equality bias
We've had that trouble as well - anything related to offsite backup or cloud storage has outrageous pricing - perhaps $8 or $12 per click (!).

The frustrating thing is that if you do find keywords that have low prices, google will refuse to run them for you because too few people search for it. Citing "low quality", google will force you to artificially inflate your CPC just for the privilege of running a niche keyword.

There is this idea that every day there are X people on the web searching for exactly what you offer, and if you show them an ad during the search: success. I believe this to be true, but google makes it all but impossible to pursue low traffic, niche searches. They literally refuse to run them.
Unfortunately, while Haskell monads can handle multi-exit logic, it is not enforced as a built-in primitive.

Wikimedia sues NSA over mass Surveillance
My definition of exploitation comes from Marx:

Once Capitalists are able to pay the worker less than the value produced by the labor a surplus labor forms and this results in the capitalists' profit. This is what Marx meant by “surplus value,” which he saw as “an exact expression for the degree of exploitation of labor-power by capital, or of the laborer by the capitalist.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploitation_of_labour

A pure entrepreneur doesn't get exploited because he gets all the profits. A full employee (working in a profitable enterprise) gets fully exploited because he gets the pay he agreed to when he was hired regardless of the profit he generates.

The sweet spot for the modern worker, in my mind, is to keep as much of the profit as is possible by being as close to the entrepreneurial end of the spectrum as possible.

The point is, there's more money to be made running a burger cart than working at McDonald's, cleaning houses from clients on Craigslist than working for Molly Maid, fixing cars yourself than working at PepBoys.

The main barriers to entry for these workers is marketing, book keeping, and inventory management, and all three of those barriers are reduced because of automation and globalization.
Yes, at some point. I am very interested in the HealthKit integration. I'm also interested in the timekeeping interface complications.
Why do you insist this is about me? I'm simply discussing what he said about his own philosophy and then comparing that with his actions. They don't reconcile.

Considering how many great artists "die before their time" and combining that with his own words, I see that as difficult to reconcile. It's one thing to admit to doing something for a paycheck, and there's pride to be had in honest work. To me it's dishonest to claim art is the primary driver and then, well, give up on doing art. What part of that do you disagree with?

Edit:

I never said I expected more Calvin and Hobbes, and if you think you're putting something forward with that quote I don't already know, you're wrong.

He had a platform to produce all kinds of other creative, influential, or interesting art, and he chose not to do anything. Well, maybe he did and it's all up in his attic. What good does an attic full of art do for the world?
Not scientific, but I find I have less eye strain with dark themes.
Your complaints are actually the whole reason tests exist. Of course you know that your code works when you write it. You then write tests that are tightly coupled to the behavior that you require from the code to run it through its paces as you work on it.

Speaking of coupling, tests prevent tight coupling between different pieces of your codebase. Since there are then at least 2 consumers of any piece of code, the implementation does not get coupled to a particular one as easily.

Also, if you would like to work with a module or microservice based approach, tests are simply necessary to work. If you're storing different pieces of the codebase in different repos, you will need to have tests to work on them at all.

Basically, if you are "testing" your production code with other pieces of your production code (I hope you don't do this), it will become tightly coupled. Test your code with tests.
The latest software has several deficiencies, but this isn't one of them.

Copy, then hold down the Option key while pasting, by keyboard or menu. In the Edit menu, "Paste Item" will change to "Move Item Here".

Even though it's not as discoverable as it should be, this is a well-reasoned UI move on Apple's part. Even on Windows, cut & paste has different semantics for files than for text, and this solution sidesteps the weird "cut-in-progress" mode and inability to paste again.
I like that we're all starting to wake up from this callback nightmare in pretty much every language. It's funny to me that it took us going through a full blown callback orgy for us to realize that all we wanted to begin with was an abstraction of spawning threads and doing non-blocking i/o (makes sense, having to reason about locking is, often, unnecessary). I realize callbacks/lambdas have their place, but it was really starting to chaff.

I went to school in Canada; all of the classes had homework, but in some classes homework counted for GPA and in some it didn't. A good chunk of the students would do the homework that counted and skip all the homework that didn't, whether they needed it or not. The end result being less learning and lower grades in the classes where homework didn't count. To be fair most of those students weren't exactly on the high end of the grade scale to begin with and it's their own fault if they chose not to do the homework. But from the prof's POV, if they wanted people to succeed in their classes, it was better to have the homework count. There is probably some cultural reason why French students can be relied on to do their homework more than US/Canadians.

Meh. The port-forwarding bit is probably unnecessary. And yes, there's a good chance you'll end up hacked and still poor, but there's still a decent chance that you'll end up with a large salary and not hacked. I suspect the black market is adequately efficient at self-policing when there's money involved.

Though that's where my scam would be most likely to fall apart. Recruiters typically only get their cut if the candidate doesn't get fired in the first N months. So if they purely cheated their way in, then the hiring company is only out a couple months of useless work. (Which could be very costly, to be sure, but at least they don't have to fork over the $50K. And there are many other reasons why a new employee doesn't pan out.)

I was walking past a tall wooden fence the other day, you know the kind you see outside a building site. As I walked along beside it I heard chanting coming from behind the fence further up... they were chanting numbers, or rather just one number.
"Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, ..." they excitedly chanted. It sounded like a small crowd, young and old; men, women and children. All of them saying the same number over and over.
As I approached I saw a small hole in the fence just big enough to look through. The hole was right where the sound appeared to be originating from.
So, with the crowd continuing to chant "... thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen" and it seeming to become more intense as I leaned down to place my eye at the hole and work out WTF was happening in there.
Just as I put my eye to the hole a small finger like that of a child poked me in the eye and the crowd stared cheered loudly and started chanting again..
