It would be interesting to find someone who had had an NDE and taken LSD (on a separate occasion), and ask them to compare the two experiences in terms of vividness, beauty, feelings of peace or being loved, etc.
The fact that you're paying radically more than any actual open market price that you could possibly access.

If you paid $10,000 for something but could generally resell it for something like that value it wouldn't be a scam. But if you buy a $10,000 ring from a vendor and try to find a way to sell it for anything like that much, you will find you can not, and not only the usual "I can't recover the vendor guarantee and reputation premium" that you'll find if you try to sell things on Craigslist or something, but you'll find that you can't even come close.

It might be tempting to get into philosophical discussions about "what is value, really?", but that would be the wrong direction to go here. I'm happy to take value as a highly subjective judgment, because that is indeed what it is. My point here is brutally practical, and, well, exactly what I said, and no more... the problem here is literally that you will find that what you've bought can't be resold for anything like what you bought it for, and where that truth comes from doesn't much matter when you're trying to resell.

The art world is radically different. It is assumed that you are a smart consumer who is expected to defend themselves. And I'd also point out that if you spend a million dollars on something that turns out to be a really high quality forgery worth about $5K on the open market, we still call that a scam.
I have no objection to proprietary software, because that is how people make a living. That proprietary software license is what allowed the author to quit his job and bring it into existence. The alternative to making software proprietary is not making it GPLed. The alternative is not making it at all!

A hobby is not a substitute for a job.

I would never characterize copyleft software as "bad:" the author has donated time and energy, and I am grateful. But it is less useful than it could have been. If you're going to write some software and give it away, man, just give it away!

Well, true democracy is a serious problem for many people right from the start. Which is why true democracy in the world is very rare.

But, once a government reaches the point of what you describe, that is no longer a government of the people and has become something else. Which, according to history, is almost certainly inevitable.

There are a few quick tests that can quickly separate a CZ from a diamond. Exhale on a similar diamond and it clears up much faster because of diamonds high thermal conductivity.

More importantly, CZ is far less though than diamonds so they don't keep their shape under abuse nearly as well. There cheap enough you could swap out the stone every year, but just keeping the same CZ in a ring does not work over a lifetime.
I really love that the majority of the responses to that tweet are of the form: Why not X? Use Y!

It's very illustrative to me of just how tribal we've become. As if it matters what language Carmack decides to use. I'm sure it's a boon to the Racket tribe that the others are now jealous of. To have the name recognition of John Carmack tweeting about your language! Imagine!

Racket is a fine enough language and ecosystem. I'm more curious about what he's building. Is this the VR-version of Facebook?
First new canonical Star Wars EU novel
I adore Cities: Skyline, and I haven't even looked at the mod scene at all yet. I was always a fan of SimCity but it's been literally years since I've even played a computer game. Skyline brought me back. :)
As someone who hasn't played any SimCity game in years (not since SimCity 4 came out), I really enjoy Cities: Skyline.

I particularly love that I can have curved streets and named districts, and that I can rename individual shops, people, and even cars. Makes the city seem more like a character than a simulation.

I wish the airline industry could do the same (for in-flight announcements, etc).
Well the majority of people aren't voting and our system is clearly going to shit on a major level. The point is that it's your civic duty to vote, people fought and died for your right to vote, and it's the best non-violent way for you to impact your world. It boggles my mind when people advocate for others not to vote. You know that's what the power structure wants right? An apathetic population. How on earth can people look at our current situation, where the majority don't vote, and say it's working? How can people look at that and say the solution for more people to not vote? I'll never understand it.

This misunderstands the point of news. People read it to have common subjects of conversation, filtered through the same perspective. It's actually important to human discourse within society. So that when two people are making small talk, one can say "Did you see what happened with Hilary Clinton/LeBron James/Kanye West?" It's pointless, but pointless communication has a role as a social lubricant. It lets people build up to weightier topics, or just politely pass the time together. And common knowledge of news subjects is a part of that system.

Ultimately, news is a form of entertainment. Now more than ever. People don't watch Fox News or MSNBC to be more informed voters or to take personal action. Many of them want to hear what Personality X has to say about Event Y. Same with twitter or facebook or the opinion section of the local newspaper. And that's cool. If that's what someone finds interesting or entertaining, then so be it.

In general, all of the arguments in this post could be applied to anything that people read, watch, play or listen to. From reality tv to Shakespeare. "It doesn't involve me and isn't useful in my daily life" and "I've lived without it for a long time and my life is no less rich" are generic statements that would be equally valid discussing pretty much any form of diversion. Part of maturity is realizing that the world is full of things that you don't like, and that belittling those things or questioning their value doesn't do any good. We all get to decide how to waste our time. Let people have their news.

Acer Chromebook 15 review: the big Chromebook has arrived
The video presents version 1.4.1 (last 10 seconds of the video), the website only lists version 0.4.1. I assume you changed the version number after finishing the video?

It was hard/impossible for me to read the R code in the video while playing it at 1080p.
I own php storm and it's OK, but since I do such a mix of file work, small maintenance and web/phpstorm is really project driven. I think for me, ultraedit is the way to go. I guess I just don't really like phpstorm's menus, kb shortcuts and just some other things aren't as logical or easy to find as they could be. Even setting up a project from existing files, it's easy enough to do but just not logical. I would still recommend jetbrains stuff definitely, but I don't know I'm looking for something that matches my personality more and ultraedit / ultrastudio may be better for my workflow. They've also stepped to it lately with multi-cursor, git integration and also ultraedit has dealt much better with large files than some of my other text editors, like notepad plus plus or brackets, would choke on.
OK everybody, time to pirate Win7!
I was thinking of missing/incorrect header when the post started talking about setting IP Address from an optional header. As someone has already said, 'Never trust a client'. But while its very easy to say, its not so hard to remember in practice. I find it even harder to remember when the client is essentially some other part of your application.
I believe it's up to the Exchange admin to require a PIN or remote wipe capability, so it will vary from site to site.

One workaround is to use IMAP, if available (also up to the admin), but you lose the calendar capability, which is arguably the killer feature of Exchange.

Another workaround is to increase the time your phone will require a password after inactivity to something large, like 30 minutes or an hour. You still have to enter a PIN once in a while, but it's more convenient and will still be effective in some cases when lost or stolen.
Off topic but if there's oil in your e-liquid, you may want to find a new vendor. Should only be glycerine/glycol, nicotine, and miniscule amounts of flavor extracts/concentrates.

Windows only ? Meh. And integrating with Excel is completely useless (and meaningless, since you don't need to use a spreadsheet representation to work with data when you think in R), R beats Excel for about everything once you are used to it.
I've never gotten my IQ tested, but when I read about studies like these - they usually demoralize me from fear of competitive behavior. I think this leads to low self esteem, and the imagining that I have a low IQ (high marks through schooling and post graduate education, MSc, possible imposter syndrome) as my default attitude. It can be a self defeating attitude, but what it usually does is make me argue with people about IQ tests, and explain why they are not necessarily indicative of intelligence, individually or globally.

I can imagine that merely the act of measuring IQ has significant effect on the population. I can not imagine a population that exists without it, but I imagine it would also have a huge effect on society, as you similarly hypothesize about the 1-3 point increase across the population globally.
Visualizing Business Growth Across the Nation Using CrunchBase Data
C++ really isn't memory safe. It's trivial to think of an example:

#include <iostream>

auto f() {
int x = 1;
return [&] () { return x; };
}

int main(int, char **) {
std::cout << f()() << std::endl;
}

Of course "using <x> correctly" prevents bugs as long as - as C++ does - you define "correctly" as generously as possible. I agree Go isn't totally memory safe, but the level of memory safety is insanely less than in C++.

If you want something particularly involving unique_ptr, consider that best practices are to give non-owning sharing as raw pointers: you could say they're safe as long as you use them correctly but again that misses the point. I can also give an example (stolen from a talk) directly involving shared_ptr even when used with traditional "best practices" although I'm sure the best practices will update themselves to include this.

In some sense, Rust has been described as merely formalizing and automatically enforcing the best practices that people were already using in C++; it's the formality and automaticity that turns it from a dangerous language to a safe one.

You know what's the problem with boring code? It's boring. This means its information content is low, and its abstraction level is low. This means that you need more of it to express an algorithm.

When you have a lot of wordy, boring code to maintain, you have to make coordinated changes in more similarly boring places. A human's brain can only keep that many lines of context. So it becomes easier to make a mistake.

A problem nicely summarized by Yaron Minsky (of Jane Street): "You can’t pay people enough to carefully debug boring boilerplate code. I’ve tried."
Including accessibility for blind users, I assume. Touchscreens are not great input devices if you can't see what's on them or whether you got your finger on the right button.

Skylines is hands down my favorite game right now and is directly responsible for my highly unproductive, but fun, weekend. But it's not without faults. For me one of the telling things will be how they handle a very similar problem that EA had with the latest Sim City. Traffic. Once your city becomes a certain size the game goes from City Builder to Traffic Management Simulator. Which itself wouldn't be a problem if not for issues with the simulation.

For example if you have a 6-lane, one-way, road with intersections cars will get into the right/left lanes as soon as they get on the road, even if that's on the other side of the map from where they're turning. Causing the middle lanes to become useless and the others to be backed up (admittedly this isn't totally unrealistic though). I remember Sim City had similar problems and I'm sure it's a tough one to solve. Especially on a big game world with hundreds, or thousands, of intersections and tens of thousands of cars being simulated at once. Even if they don't solve it I'll still be burning my weekends on this game for a long time.

You need the passcode on reboot of the device anyway. I'd rather have a strong passcode and Touch ID than a weak passcode that's easily broken. A strong password and no Touch ID is almost completely unusable.
There are actually over 10K firms in India (and Pak, E. Europe etc) that employ hundreds if not thousands of developers. THe numbers shown in the article are only for a small selection of major companies.
Unfortunately. I think if the Chinese government forced/encouraged everyone to go Linux a long time ago, instead of having to pirate Windows, the Linux ecosystem of programs would be much richer, too. And OEMs wouldn't release 99% of their machines with Windows on them by default.

This way we would've had competition on the desktop and in the browser market way before Android and iOS started appearing on tablets.
My company considers one of its systems "more secure" because they enforce a policy that all passwords must contain 8+ non-space characters. The implementation? "Must be 8+ characters; must not contain spaces."

I've expressed my view on this (and similar password-related policies) many times, but apparently it's all simply a box ticking exercise for pen testers...
There is the obvious corporate analogy with news where most data and reports are distracting noise. If it can't have an impact or won't have an impact, stop spending the time and money to report the data as if it means something. This tends to be more a disease of large dilbertian corporations. (Insert Office Space TPS report analogy here)

> GNU logos are consistently incredibly ugly

True, but since it's Free Software you can release a version of the same code by yourself with a better logo. Nobody prevents you from changing anything, that's what's beautiful with GNU tools.
The mod scene is great so far. Auto-bulldoze and changing the direction of one-way roads are fantastic things to have that I really hope they bring into the game as actual features. From what I've heard they haven't opened up too much of the API to modders yet though but do seem to be receptive to feedback and working with the community.
Somehow I doubt the nintendo developers were worried about ACID Pokemon transfers :)
It's sort of hilarious that he said that, given that English speakers were able to encode every character in 7-bit ASCII. The issues around standardising characters was because non-English characters were being squabbled about between the French, Russians and a whole bunch of other non-English countries.

In essence, he's not understood that really ASCII was used as the base for Unicode because it was widely used. In fact. It's actually ISO8859-1 that has been used because of its wide coverage of a variety of languages, far more than any of the other 8859-x character sets.

I cannot speak to anything else he's said, aside from saying that trying to encode all the world's languages is bloody hard.

Even when a limited number of countries try to nut out a standard for 128 characters, it's a nightmare. And don't forget that they were competing with EBCDIC.

I wrote about it here:

My earliest memory of it was circa 1990 when we had problems getting source code out of escrow for a system, and we were advised to make sure the next system was open source.

We're blessed with lots of old and failing HP kit which is slowly being swapped out for Supermicro stuff so every time something goes pop, they get on the phone and screw the warranty as hard as possible then sell the warranty bits as new on ebay and scrap the chassis.

Sure, if you make vague enough statements, they're hard to disprove, which might lead you to believe that what you said is correct even though you haven't made a provable or disprovable claim.

There are plenty of problems where one might consider using Go or Rust. The same cannot be said of Go and Racket, or Rust and Racket. I wouldn't consider using Racket for a situation where I need high performance or low memory usage--the numbers just don't work. Likewise I wouldn't look at Go or Rust for building a data-presentation type webapp.
"They only have a plastic latch glued to them to fake the clicking sound of a buckling spring switch." - I do not think you understand how the cherry switches function as this is an inaccurate statement. They are often described as linear, tactile, and tactile click. The latter being the type you attempted to describe.

"A Teletype keyboard is a motor-driven mechanism where, when you push a key, a clutch is released, a shaft revolves one turn, and, via levers and cams, contacts close and open and the bits are encoded and sent." - Is it a true statement that these switches essentially open and close a contact which in turn opens or closes a circuit? If so I would argue that although probably much cooler they accomplish the same thing as cherry switches :)
I brought Skylines a few days ago and I absolutely love it. Its got amazing detail and it's pretty much everything I hoped a modern sim city would be. I never thought I would find building a traffic system so fun, and the twitter feed it uses to show you your citizens opinions is a fantastic idea as well.

The one downside is it gets a bit boring after you have made your city. On Sim City you could at least trigger some disasters to destroy your city in interesting ways, I find myself missing that feature sometimes.
This is glorious!

"KTHL is not GPL, so Safari and Chrome are proprietary" gets the consequent wrong. Apple did not decide to fork KHTML and then pick a license. If KHTML were GPLed, Apple would have forked a different project, or perhaps even started from scratch. The end result would have been the same.

This is interesting, but I guess I'm wondering how it really differs to buying a brand new car. The moment you drive it outside the car dealer you've lost money. It would be interesting to compare the lost value of jewelry as a percentage to other items purchased brand new.

The diamond I have was purchased at wholesale price and custom made into a setting - it wasn't some off the shelf piece from Tiffany's. I think that where you purchase the jewelery from can also make a significant difference to its resale value.
