But that's always been Microsoft's philosophy. Developers are central and very important to Microsoft. It's only with 3rd-party support that Windows has ever gotten as big as it has (although Microsoft did pump out TONS of quality software in the 90s, that must have helped). Microsoft has always made things easy for developers and produced high-quality development tools. Microsoft cares about API backwards-compatibility and don't "move fast and break things" like Apple does.

Now, going open-source is good too, but it's not really a "developers developers developers" thing IMO.

I too had overprotective immigrant parents, yet at age 6 I was walking to elementary school, just a short distance of 4 blocks. Middle school was considerably further at 1.7 miles, and through the woods, but there was never any problem. We were also taking the bus, unaccompanied by parents, around town by age 12.

I think also that people are more uninvolved with the people around them these days, especially in metropolitan areas. People don't know their neighbors and don't have the commitment to their neighborhood as in the past. You rarely hear of people verbally disciplining someone else's unruly children, or watching over them, as you might have read in stories from 50 years ago. People now are more likely to stand and watch a crime or an accident, or simply ignore it, rather than get involved. All this implies a greater danger to unaccompanied children.
I think cycling through team member cities is best since then you have a local with you every time. Plus it's one fewer plane ticket to buy.

I hosted a tea this afternoon and it was really relaxed. We talked about everything from our dream jobs to improv shakespeare to what makes math beautiful. We swapped some stories, drank tea, and after two hours just said goodbye and left.

It's hard to beat KVM's performance, especially with virtio drivers. Compatibility is great as well. In terms of usability, I wouldn't be surprised if VirtualBox provides a friendlier UI.
It does make sense to shrink the window size, but the correct way is to shrink down to 0 instead of shrinking gradually. This is explained in the algorithm. Small window sizes = more overhead on the sending host
I have a pretty strong opinion that The Shockwave Rider does not suck, even if the protagonist is a bit of a Mary-Sue.

In terms of prescient details it gets some things wrong. But it gets a lot of the subtleties of a dystopian dataveillance society very, very right.

If you read it you'll see what I mean. The idea that pretty much every institution you deal with knows you by your dossier and makes unaccountable decisions based on that knowledge. That this power is unequally distributed and that the data you need to make competent decisions about your future is deliberately hidden from you.

The viewpoint that at the elite levels governments and corporations are indistinguishable in their criminality. One could imagine graduates of Tarnover stalking the halls at Google, Palantir and the NSA w/ equal ease.

It's actually reasonably fast paced and well plotted ( exceptionally so by Brunner's standards ); and it's an easy read.

I recommend it.

If you're going to accuse a professional mathematics company of not knowing math, you could at least spend 5 minutes to read their explanation of the algorithm, and mention why your pseudorandom number generator is more statistically robust.
But not film B&W, which has a different colour and contrast response to "let's remove all the saturation" viewfinder B&W.

Personally I'm happy with a 100% digital workflow. In fact these days I take most photos on an iPhone, and leave the SLR at home.

But I also know that film and optical filtering look different..

You can produce an imitation of a film look with digital processing. But it's an imitation. There are subtleties of colour, grain, contrast/brightness response, and differential colour resolution that are very complicated.

And different films respond in different ways. Everyone can see the difference between digital, budget Kodak, and a roll of Fujifilm Velvia.

And if you're shooting medium or large-format, that's a different ballgame again.

Don't believe me? Take some pictures of a fire. The film and digital versions will look completely different.

Is it worth the effort? For snappy snaps, certainly not. Digital kills it for convenience.

But if I worked as high-end commercial landscape, architectural, or art photographer, I'd certainly consider film for at least some projects.
I rather enjoyed the entire article, which is atypical for me. Most of time, I would have agreed with your tone. But this one held together well, and I read every word.

Some time ago when I was reading about the accuracy of fingerprint analysis (similarly a horror show), the culprit seemed to be the professional association of analysts. IIRC their official line was that fingerprint analysis was 100% accurate(!), and they forbade members from taking part in research studies on the subject...

If the only reason you wouldn't sell children is because it's illegal, you should really never have kids.
As a former NetApp person this makes me sad. I really respect Robin's opinions and have been following Storage Mojo for years. That Brian Pawlowski left to join Pure[1] is perhaps the saddest thing. During my tenure there he was pretty much the heart and soul of engineering. That he left to join a company that is succeeding with a product that he was tasked with building back at NetApp [2] boggles my mind.

Connecting the dots on that one leaves me quite amazed.

I think you must have read the quoted passage but not internalised it, because it does actually say that there should be no law against killing your kid.
If you mean the cost in terms of trust citizens have in these institutions, then certainly I think the answer is no.
> In France most of google users does not even know there is an alternative to Google

I think that would quickly change if a search engine came out that was markedly better than Google. I remember when Google first started gaining traction. It only took a few months to go from first hearing about it to everyone person I knew used it as their primary search engine. I feel confident the same thing will happen when another major leap forward in search happens.

You may have your cause and effect mixed up. Reality TV follows society, it doesn't create it.

I think the cultural drift towards self-fulfillment of your own destiny is due to the societal move away from decades-long jobs. People no longer get a job and work it for four decades, then retire. Our cultural outlook on work has changed, as people constantly evaluate their current position and direction. And that, in turn, drives people to try new things, which results in more inventions and startups.
They didn't lie, they believed that the hair really matched.

The problem was that the method they used, i.e. how they were taught, was incorrect.

So it's not so easy to throw it out as you might suspect - it's the job of jury to decide if the evidence is "good" (they hear lots of evidence, much of it conflicting). True, the jury relied on false information on what counts as good. But because the jury accepted the evidence undoing that is not as simple as you think unless there are specific laws about it.

On the same general line: given a shell, which could analyze frequency of commands & make intelligent guesses for non-executable / invalid commands ("do what I intended, not what I've typed), I would toss my bash so hard against /dev/null, and salt whatever remained of it's config files.
No wonder. Recently I bought Nikon D750, "camera of the year 2014", and barely see any difference to D7000 (except for high ISO where D750 is stunning), the skin is still as mushy and features flat as always. Then I bought Sigma SD1 Merrill, with a 3-layer Foveon sensor that is probably the closest to a film-equivalent digital camera and the studio portrait photos are simply breathtaking despite camera being a slow clunker with horrible high ISO. I really can't go back to D750 now, all pictures feel flat, details hidden, unnatural noise at ISO 100 etc.

It might be that those that like to stay with film don't like the effect of most digital sensors. If you search on photography forums, plenty of people are displeased by digital look, and if you have a perfect color vision (like I do), it sometimes hurts... There is of course a lot of nostalgia and desire to be different while sticking to film. Technically in most measurable characteristics digital sensors vastly outperform film, yet there are some subtle characteristics we perceive they have hard time to replicate (like microcontrast).

Of course, some digital cameras bring their own "artistic license" to the mix, like Canon is known for pleasant color palette and being very flattering to a model look, and many people then prefer such a look to anything shot on film which looks more realistic.
> People are not using Google because it's the best one but mainly because it's the default homepage screen.

That's not true. I tried all the search engines, and yes, Google, is the best one.

Remember when Bing had that comparison thing so see which engine you liked better? When I tried it Google won something like 9 times out of 10.
I still think NetApp has a shot with large storage solutions. I got the chance to intern at one of the newer companies last summer and most of their products revolved around a hybrid solution of flash and hard disk. One of the customers kept asking about a storage heavy solution as opposed to having more flash. Their solution was to buy more appliances which may not be ideal for everyone.

So at the end of the day, if you still need lots of disk, I suppose NetApp has a lot to offer.

The infinite layering of corrugations is required regardless, because the "true" surface has undefined curvature. They are doing an approximation to that of arbitrary precision.

This is a really delightful peice of work. The existence of surfaces with the curvature undefined everywhere is an easily described concept that comes up fairly frequently in topology, but I'd always assumed it was just impossible to visualize them.
Numenta's based upon the hierarchical temporal memory model described in the book On Intelligence. It's an attempt to replicate the structure of the neocortex.

Mathematically it appears to be just another neural network. IMHO, deep learning is probably more likely to give systems approximating general intelligence.

Perhaps we are lacking in specific laws about reopening such cases (I do not claim to know). However, I think the lack of specific laws (and/or the difficulty in creating them) is one reason there exists a general law about it: clemency.

I used the MTS system at the University of Alberta as an Engineering undergraduate in the 1980s. At the beginning of the year, you were budgeted a certain number of CPU seconds which you couldn't exceed. We were VERY careful about not accidentally coding infinite loops. There was a room full of VT100 terminals that we used, but if you needed hard copy, you had to trudge across campus to the building where the burst printer lived.

Since you use blockchain ... What are incentives for people to actually run this blockchain on their computers? Are software packages themselves physically stored in a blockchain? Or just signed metadata about package, including external download url?

DNA testing may be theorethically sound, but in practice it's restricted to testing about 13 different loci, which is a miniscule porton of the actual information at hand.

Starting from that weak position, the FBI then ignores basic statistics:

My question is this: How does a group that large not consider methanol poisoning? Almost every bootlegger from the mountains of Kentucky to half the prisoners in the United States knows that when you're making your own alcohol, accidental methanol poisoning is what can kill you.

They were operating a still, and had everyone from PhDs to carpenters there, and nobody thought of methanol poisoning? The ultimate irony is, of course, that the antidote to methanol poisoning is ethanol, aka regular potable alcohol, of which they had a great deal.

Final point, these guys are going to the bottom of the world. We can't give them specialized alcohols (to say nothing of a spare Li-ion battery)? There are some alcohols that are similar in effect to ethanol, but a lot less toxic, more easily transportable, etc. Sure, they're not common, but neither is a base deep in Antarctica.

I'm guessing the fuel will be pressurized, and a pump is necessary on top of that to get as much thrust as you can; it's probably cheaper on a weight basis to make a good pump versus a very thick fuel container at some point.

No, it does not say that. It says that you should not be compelled to feed your kid. If you read the passage in context, you'll find Rothbard is explicit that you cannot kill the kid, nor stop the kid from leaving if the kid is not happy with the support you are providing.

Of course as a practical matter, if the kid is young enough, or you live sufficiently far from other people, the kid cannot exercise its right to leave, and so effectively you can kill it by not providing food.
Not to defend his recent over-the-top diatribes, but I think his recent escalation of shouting is due to him feeling wronged by HN moderation. I mean, he literally said in a comment sometime ago that the HN comment rankban only made him more obstinate in letting everyone know about his frustrations with all that's wrong with "VC-istan".
The way I was thinking about was that the curvature is named undefined because it has discontinuities in it, which result from the fact that the object is constructed by sticking pieces together, and the joints aren't entirely smooth. Is there something deeper to its 'undefined curvature'? Or I guess that's just more important than it seems to me: like it being amenable to classification by curvature type is the essential thing here. And I guess it must be something deeper than not being smooth at the joints, since there are probably applicable smoothing algorithms.
>Why has digital life removed substance?

I have no idea about the how, but it's not hard to understand that bits are fragile and totally dependent on a huge network of many technologies.

I spent last week in Europe looking at ancient buildings and incredible art. Some of this stuff is literally millennia old - but people are still queuing around the block to see it.

If you build something out of atoms, that sucker stays there - not quite forever, but some combinations of atoms can easily outlast many human lifetimes.

Compare that with bits, where file formats, storage media, operating systems, and basic hardware all keep changing and content preservation is hit and miss. (I have video files from the late 1990s that are unplayable now.)

Code is even more fragile, especially if it's heavily OS- or framework-specific.

So people like physical stuff. It can survive without power or a reader device. That makes it more reassuring than a transient digital content blip that's gone before your kids have had a chance to experience it.

Waiting for the twist...

Will it be that the word "customers" means two houses owned by Comcast executives?

Will the soon to be announced prices be 50x the Google fiber price and then used as a justification that "customers just don't want fast internets"?

Or, and I know this is shocking, will Comcast provide a quality service and support system?
It is interesting that many people who are so devote to open source software in general are just OK with the software oligopoly of search that is practiced today by Google and a few other companies. I think it is terrible that we don't have a clear idea of what is going on within the most used search engine, and that they are able to change the algorithm without little second thought. It would be very nice if this lawsuit could bring to the forefront the issues involved with the way Google is controlling everyone's access to information.

In DOS you needed to load ANSI.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file in order to see ANSI terminal codes. Later on PC Magazine or some other company made ANSI.COM that you could load at any time as a Terminate and Stay Resident program to see ANSI codes.

It basically uses the CGA 80x25 text 16 color screen on PC and PC clones.

I could be wrong, but I think the terminal codes were based on VT-100 or something with the IBM font added. When I had an Amiga 1000 I had to set my terminal to VT-100 and load a font that had the IBM PC character set in it, because the Amiga fonts had different character sets in them that didn't look right.

Modern terminal programs for BBSes are like this one:
