Pinker's data being flawed doesn't make Gray's critique good. If you want a good critique read Herman and Petersen's.

My own view is that the thesis is not important. What is really at issue is the subtext that we should not be too worried about western violence because we are doing better than ever before and that violence is decreasing "naturally", neither of which is true or follows from the claim that violence has been historically in decline.
I'm sure you will like it. Macdonald is an excellent teacher.

Years ago (2009) I sent an e-mail to David Hestenes asking him if he was planning on writing an introductory textbook on geometric algebra. He said it was in the planning stages.

From what I understood later, it seems he is attempting to write a 100% purely geometric algebra book unlike macdonald who reserved it for the second part of laga.
I like this kind of partial rendering, which preserves the markdown markup. Months ago, I've investigated some alternatives in this regard, such as:

https://github.com/lepture/editor

https://github.com/airpub/ninja

But nothing was perfect for my criterion. I hope your solution will become the one I've been looking for.

One concern is that it doesn't seem to support the ``` syntax, but the ~~~ syntax. Would that be possible to also support the former? Also, are you planning to conform to the CommonMark specification?
I've just updated the website to include a link to a repo where I am putting all the examples I have permission to share.

https://github.com/timtylin/scholdoc-examples

More will be added as I tweak the syntax. My hidden goal is to add enough to ScholarlyMarkdown to be able to reproduce around 70% of ArXiv.
I always use go-flags [1] in my Go programs. It has support for GNU-style options, pretty help output, subcommands, automatic parsing of more complex arguments (e.g. time.Duration) among other things.

I do wish they would improve the included flags package though. There are lots of nice third party packages, but having a proper one in the standard library would've been better.

Nowadays I actually think dishes are ... maybe not fun, but pleasant. It's a straightforward goal-oriented task that doesn't require much in the way of decision making or mental effort, there's often warm water involved, it's kindof calming, and you get a good feeling from having rolled back entropy, restored a certain amount of order, and replenished a useful resource (clean dishes).

It's nice to use my brain more building software too, but sometimes it's nice to have a break.

I get enough tech in my daily life, so I look to podcasts to enrich my life in other dimensions and teach me new things. Here are some of my favorites:

* Cooking, food, and molecular gastronomy; Cooking Issues: http://www.heritageradionetwork.org/programs/51-Cooking-Issu...

* Outdoor adventure; Dirtbag Diaries: http://dirtbagdiaries.com

* Music and poetic music breakdown (uniquely well-suited to audio as a medium); Song Exploder: http://songexploder.net

* History; the Memory Palace: http://thememorypalace.us

* Design; 99% Invisible: http://99percentinvisible.org

* Electic subjects: http://loveandradio.org

* RadioLab: http://www.radiolab.org

I'd love to find a good fiction podcast, with either short form stories or episodic long form arcs in the fashion of old-school radio shows.

> Also SaaS has nothing to do with recurring CC. Don't you use postpaid services in India? Generate an invoice and give someone a week to pay. I mean if it's good enough for other service providers, why not for SaaS? Just use a shorter payment deadline.

SaaS has a lot to do with recurring CC. If you've ever done landing page optimization you know how much changing the color of headline or moving a few pixels around can boost your conversions. Hell, people have stated that by just putting that no-good "McAfee secured" logo on their payment page increases their conversions by 50%.

Now imagine that instead of that I ask you that please mail me a blank voided check and a print out a consent form, fill it, sign it and mail it (that how I've enabled ECS for my internet) on the checkout page. Don't you think my conversions will be 1/10th after it?

Also subscription billing is not always bad: Namecheap, and AWS are two services I'm really glad can bill me and keep my domain and hosting alive while I'm traveling.
My favorite freestanding desktop keyboard is still the original Macintosh Extended Keyboard[1] (the 2 is ok, but not as good as the original). I still have one in use on my linux machine. It requires a ADB to USB converter, but it's HID and so it works with anything. That keyboard is from the 1990 timeframe, so it's about 25 years old now and still works wonderfully.

Why your dev shop should take equity to develop your app
Just a heads up: The HN community tends to dislike jokes, especially jokes meant to do nothing more than make another laugh. In fact, I have found the HN community weighted towards discouraging humor even when it is used not only in a one-note joke, but also as an effort to further a discussion (as good satire should).

This naturally seems to stem from their conscious efforts to promote a 'serious'/on-topic culture and humor's nature as being subjective and often hard to detect.

Why exactly do you think calculating compound return and fees are mutually exclusive? If you want compound return net of fees then you simply calculate that. As a rule most mutual funds do in fact report their performance net of fees.

Software Engineering Radio is pretty decent, with varied content about the topic: http://www.se-radio.net/

Not tech related, Radiotopia[1] has quite a few decent podcasts. I've been really enjoying The Allusionist[2], which is about the English language.

I like Go's flag library.

Also: getopt is pretty easy to write (if you're going for strict Unix style, you're presumably not looking for a featureful getopt), and that interface style is abused far more often than it's deployed gracefully. Some of the worst Unix command line interfaces† are the product of getopt, or the belief that there's an idiomatic Unix argument handling convention and that the idiom is getopt.

If your argument parsing needs are complicated, you should break out an actual parser.

Finally: I see the benefit of having an auto-generated usage message that is better than a bad auto-generated usage message, but if you really want artisanal command line tools, shouldn't you be writing artisanal usage messages? C programmers as a rule didn't count on the library to generate the usage message for them.

It won't help that much, as every character/letter/digit will be of the same font face, e.g. Arial. Then it can only recognize scans with Arial font.

One needs a real world training set, a lot of variation, like house numbers and scanned books with labeled datasets.
In the last year here (Austin), I've hosted a half dozen hackathons with no prizes.. not even silly prizes. It takes minimal effort getting 40-50 people, and some effort to get 100. On the other side, our last major social good hackathon (Hack for Change) had nearly 250 with no prizes announced up front.

(We did award SXSW 2015 badges to the "audience favorite" but that was a surprise at the tail end of the demo time.)
> If decryption has to be moved out into the CDN to support encryption of cat pictures, security has been reduced.

That doesn't logically follow. The CDN doesn't have to start handling logins just because the "cat pictures" are now being served over HTTPS.

> If you only encrypt login pages and such, and have a server with higher security handling them, you're at least protecting passwords and user identification

It's impossible to provide meaningful security this way - if the pages linking to the login page aren't HTTPS, it's trivial to sslstrip them. Only a very small fraction of users will notice when this happens.
I love that the first suggestion it made to me was "gangrening.com"

Sure, I agree about reduction to known problems, but still, understanding algorithms completely is more powerful than manipulating them as "black boxes", as the former allows to build upon ideas of algorithms and produce variations of algorithms, and generally gives a lot of insights and patterns of algorithmic problem solving. The relation is kind of like below:

(No algo) < (Blackbox algo) < (Whitebox algo)
I've looked hard and tried lots of packages as well as rolling my own. Frankly, Evernote has been at it for 7 years and spent $225M on the problem, and they have done a pretty damn great job at it.

I've asked myself WHY do I want to host my own data. My innermost thoughts are hard to imagine being broadcast to the NSA, Chinese government, and any ambitious cracker... but what I write about I will eventually publish anyhow. And the projects I am working on will eventually be free software anyhow. AND even with my own infrastructure I know that the NSA/Chinese/Crackers could find a way in.

I gave up on giving up on the cloud. From one perspective, I think that security through obscurity (with 7 Billion folks, why does my stuff matter THAT much?) is a thing. Another thing is that if my work were discovered, what would happen? Controversy? Notoriety? As a marketer I crave those things.

I have some very patentable, valuable work sitting in Evernote, Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive, various local and hosted Owncloud/NeverNote/Laverna/LibreOffice files. My plan is to get as much as I can of it into Evernote and move on with my work rather than spending more time on this question.

Ultimately I had to ask myself this: If I am going to ask even one person to trust my service with their data, why can't others ask the same of me?

FYI, Here is what my Evernotes are about: I think that the future of computing should be based on Canonical Identity via Blockchain, 'personal fact clouds' for every identity that store state in infinispan grids (most will use hybrid clouds, but could be fully self hosted on an RPi in a fanny pack), datamic+datalog for interfacing with the data, and infinite user and machine interfaces to that data. I think that CoreOS/Ubuntu Core could be the foundation for personal grid computing, every app can be a container with on demand scaling and failover, and that data transport can be equally at home on a sneakernet, the internet of today, or the mesh network of tomorrow. I believe that data is soveign, sharing of that data should always be FINITE, all user interfaces should be stateless, and hardware should allow for users to compose their own interfaces. In this future, VR and IOT are instantly integrated, everybody owns their own data, and short of physical access data isn't shared ever ever ever unless with finite permission.

I'm using Evernote for now because it is fast and lets me work on my work. And now that y'all have my ideas to steal, do. Please. Let's build a better world together, eh?

Being open rarely closes doors.

So, taking the office of national (UK) statistics - in 2013 the growth rate of the population is 0.6%, on 64 million. Giving you 384,000 extra per year - about half of the growth is (births - deaths) and the other half is net migration [1].

Meanwhile from 1990 onwards we're seeing an average of less than 200,000 [2] - In the last few years the rates are the lowest for the time period on the graph (back to the 1970s).

They're also (arguably inappropriately) broadcasting that you passed some sort of bizarre, arbitrary profiling heuristic.
It's the reverse: Pinker's book serves as a justification to ignore or diminish the significance of (western) violence.

I still prefer when the phone has an integrated keyboard [1]. Less battery drain due to bluetooth, more convenient since you don't loose screen real estate, and your muscle memory develops in no time.

MS provides a free IE Testing virtual machines that have all IE versions available. There are definitely ways for Linux/MacOS devs to test IE in their environment so that's not true all. Although, I've gotten so sick of IE quirks that at this point, I test against Firefox/Chrome and just assume that the newer IE's will work.

I think the word "reasonable" shouldn't be allowed when governing parties that consistently prove to act unreasonable :)
You make a very good point. I do like to give you one additional aspect to consider: While the Mill saves on instruction scheduling logic (and register renaming, and certainly also has the benefit of re-thinking opcodes and instruction decode), there are other features that add complexity again. Making a subroutine call appear as if it were a single instruction has got to be tricky, for example.

In the end, I have only seen CPU design from a physical design tool support point of view. I don't really have the necessary experience to judge the relative complexity of out-of-order+register renaming vs. whatever the Mill aims to do. You're probably right that the Mill is simpler.

Part of it is that all we really know about all this comes from a bunch of talks that focus on what the Mill looks like to the user. Who knows what their physical design story is. I just hope, for their own sake, that they have been working on that part of it for a significant amount of time as well.

As a rule I don't take life advice from old rich white men, but that's just me (and a growing number of others). And that's not a recent thing. Not until I was in my early 30s did I realize that they lived in a completely different world with different rules and rewards than I lived in.

I'd put this next to health advice from centenarians or financial advice from lottery winners. Worse than useless, misleading.

Are the reported success metrics on the training or testing set? The website says its on the training set, which shouldn't be a valid metric of success since neural networks can easily overfit to their training data (one of their downsides if you aren't careful).

Having the output layer be an 8-bit character representation though is very clever, rather than a softmax layer with each node being the relative probability of a given character. That probably lowers the number of free parameters you have to train, which probably speeds up training and can help prevent overfitting. I'm interested in knowing what the true success rate is with this approach as it seems clever.

Btw, what's your loss function on the output layer?

Nassim Taleb has a weak habit of ascribing every argument against him to an ad hominem attack. Taleb does have a point, war could very well become less frequent but more deadly. If the current nuclear stockpile stays where it's at, the next major war could kill all of humanity. However I think Pinker's argument is, barring that, life does seem to be getting better, and I think his argument there is valid. In his chapter "The Long Peace", he goes over how there has never been a period in history where the 500 lb gorillas of the world have been without war in a long time.
