I can definitely imagine that if I had been a farmer in middle-age I could have been happier, because I wouldn't have time to get bored, and I would be doing something useful.

In our modern world however, really useful stuff is done by robots or a tiny part of the population. Thus you have to find meaning on your own and that can be quite difficult.
I wonder why my karma was bashed for this comment.

Thanks for writing it up! Diving into a large production-level C++ library is always going to be intimidating. I suppose projects like Node/io.js need as many contributors as they can get, so anything that lowers the barriers to entry for new contributors is a good thing.

With regards to the language mentioned below: the English is very good, albeit a bit terse. I think the main issue is that the article tries to cover a lot of ground in such a short time. My advice for @indutny is to narrow the focus a bit and pick a clear structure for the article, with an introduction and a conclusion.

I did the boring lazy technique of putting my grandfather's Canon 50mm/f1.4 thread-mount rangefinder lens on a Leica M8 (used, since I'm not made of money). There are some nice, fast old lenses out there that take some very pretty pictures. https://instagram.com/p/16q6fPwAc2/

What if OP inspected the script and highlighted potential harmful commands? Changes in security configurations, manipulation in critical libraries, start-up scripts, and so forth.
Not sure how much that would help to the novice, but it's at least actionable (user can look the commands up and understand the implications.
It gets the /sbin part wrong.

/sbin and /usr/sbin/ did not exist in the 1970s at all, let alone in the early 1970s.

I'm not sure exactly which system it first appeared in, but on BSD, which originally was add-ons to the Bell Labs distribution, it was not present in the 1986 4.3 BSD but did appear in the 1993 4.4 BSD.

You can verify that, and search for it on other early Unixes, here, for instance:

My experience driving and cycling tells that the major cause for close encounters with people driving is smartphone use. People should put the fucking phone away when they're on the wheel. Otherwise, they can kill or get killed.

I'm a big fan of Clojure and React, but haven't used Clojurescript or Reagent. I find React pretty easy to grok so I'd be interested in how you think Reagent makes it easier to use.
vipe[0] from moreutils is a bit more general purpose command than this. It does not dictate the receiving end. So you can quickly check and correct data between pipes. Nifty stuff...

UBI is also important from an equality of opportunity standpoint. Why should folks born with money have all the opportunity?
I wonder how children emotions were in the early 1800s, then. I wonder how it affects things.
Setup a CPI campaign for your Android or iOS app and put a reasonable bid for your target audience. 10k should generate you a good amount of installs.
Six big changes mobile developers went through in last 5 years
I want to +1 the "makes for simpler code." I'm working on a side project in my free time on nights and weekends. I find the simplicity of React makes it very easy to jump back in after not working on it for a week, or when coding while I'm tired. Working with simple components allows me to constantly move forward, even if it's only for 30 minutes or an hour a night
I'd argue that UBI would unlock latent productivity of all the people doing shitty jobs who would otherwise being doing something they love, and thus contribute to society instead of seeing the world as a zero sum game that they got the short stick of. Opposition to UBI comes mostly from people stuck in a zero sum mindset.
What do you mean by .NET Native?

He does compare .NET C# with the managed C++ extensions (terminology?) and managed C++ does pretty well, just a whisker away from full on low-level C++. And several times faster than C#.
I am not a marketing expert, but I am a financial analyst who tracks the P+L of the marketing team's campaigns. From what I've seen it takes about 1-4 weeks to get the spend level you are looking to achieve, depending on your expertise of the channel. This process is called "ramping up". Since you are still learning I would say that your goal may not be achievable.

However, you do have options. If you have enough budget, I would recommend doing a direct buy. This is where contract with go to a high traffic relevant webpage and place ads on it for a whole day. The advertising team at content site can provide their assessments and professional expertise as a part of the relationship to help make your ad clickable. Remember, they want you to be successful so you buy from them again. If you have 10k in the bank and want to spend it all to generate buzz; this is the way to go.

Good luck and I hope this helps!
The blackboard in a particular episode also contains the correct mass of the Higgs boson. There were several maths PhDs on the writing staff, so there's a lot of intelligent humor that flies over the average viewer's head (and often mine for some of the hidden math jokes.)
You seem to think Western nations are the primary contributors here. The reality is, it's countries like China, who don't care about such laws or treaties, who make up the bulk of the problem.

I guess maybe "forbidden" or "restricted" might be a better term than "illegal," but that also applies to other schedule III drugs.

So I get that this optimized giant trie might be faster than a regex. But what about a normal lexer, either handwritten or generated? Shouldn't that be faster still than the trie? I mean, that giant amount of memory alone must cause lots of performance issues...
Yes, the money comes from taxes, and no one wants to pay them. There's a limit to how many percent of someone's income you can take away before he stops working.

There's also a limit to how much people are willing to pay in property taxes before they move the fuck out (or stay away to begin with).

In a nutshell, there are limits to what governments can do with their economies.
Why are "warlords" worse than, say, the Stalinist USSR, Nazi Germany?

That's what you get with your "strong, powerful, centralized government".

If there's ever been a government that actually said "no violence" and followed through on it, I haven't heard of it.

Can you name a few?
Fair enough, I might need to spend more time with it. I certainly like the idea of testing components individually.
I’m surprised anyone even takes Google seriously with the rules they try to enforce – for example the "specific uninstall instructions", even if it follows the OS standard procedure. (Tbh, I’d have just put a link to the Microsoft Knowledge Base and the Apple Support site there).

Or the fact that you have to show the EULA before the download – which is also not really helpful in any way.

These rules don’t really help either side (as people producing malicious ads can still do so, but people doing honest ads have to comply with rules that don’t help at all), but add more stress for both sides.
"Not sure what you're getting at here.. are you saying, that, without government, the East India company wouldn't be stealing people's lands?"

Can you give me a plausible scenario for how, without a government and its concomitant military power, a band of people from a small island in the Atlantic ocean could take over the entire Indian subcontinent?

Specifics, please.
> I would say why not improve the CLR support that has been there since SQL 2005?

Because it won't cause new license sales, whereas integrating R might.
It's so weird for me to be talking like this.

You see, I was a very avid fan of winamp(2) about 10 years ago. Nothing else came close. Then onto linux, xmms did the trick (as all I needed was a winamp2 replacement). Then as my collection grew, my priorities change, I was after speed. So mpd was thing. In the past few years I haven't had a personal collection, now it's more often listening to music on grooveshark/youtube. After grooveshark went down, I got spotify (paid subscription), and I find myself being _stunned_ how bad, how slow, how ugly, how anti-UX it is. I think I may go back to having the collection on my HDD once again with mpd as that is still really fast. But that'll be difficult, as I'm often on the go and want to listen to stuff on my cell phone (where spotify is okay actually).
The elderly have organized pickups to drive them to the polls, absentee ballots, relatives, etc.

The scariest thing I've seen was a Facebook conversation in which no less than a dozen of my classmates, all finance sector employees, were openly mocking an article about the massive disruption self-driving cars will have, as if it were a Jetson's fantasy rather than a one to two year prospect and ten year inevitability. We're in for a massive bumpy disruption. Smart investors stand to make a fortune right now. But a lot of people are going to lose their shirt in the process.
A Tale of Three Stonecutters
The idea that purposefully creating a psychological dependence on something as unproductive as gambling is a good thing boggles the mind. I'm glad that my response is that of disgust rather than "admiration" or "envy" for these businesses.
Interesting!

I'd think, in theory the ECMP router could keep track of the MTU on a per IP basis (rather than per TCP connection) based on it having received the ICM unreachable packet. And from that moment on, sending a spoofed ICMP packet back whenever one of the servers it's routing for sends a packet the router knows won't reach the host.

But even if that works, I'm by no means a network engineer, your solution of simply broadcasting the packets is probably more efficient in the real world.

Totally unscientific: On my ancient Thinkpad T61p with nvidia graphics of some vintage and the proprietary drivers installed on Debian Jessie, I get around 12 to 20% on one of the two cores with vigourous mouse assisted window movement of an Iceweasel window. MATE desktop, compiz is not available in Jessie repos so using marco.

The overall user experience is smooth and pleasant. I doubt if Windows 8/10 would install on this machine (although it came with Windows 7). I have several Thinkpads of this vintage for the keyboards, not needing super powerful processors.
Oh, thanks for reporting. This is fixed now. :)
Taking away someone's money to give it to someone else IS actually a zero-sum game. Of course, bureaucratic waste and/or graft makes it actually a negative-sum game.

Two people trading with each other is not, because both perceive a benefit, because otherwise they wouldn't trade.

Opposition to UBI comes from people with a clue about economics. One more time: the money for UBI has. to. come. from. somewhere.

Money is not free, and therefore it can't be just handed out by the truckload without adverse effects elsewhere in the economy. Whoever gets free money is happy, but someone somewhere was burdened more than before and is unhappy.
Just had an audit with one of the biggest telcos, done by a large "security" firm. They insisted that the public website not respond unless the right Host header was there. Stupid, but OK, I can see it on a checklist for intranet apps.

But the real kicker: The site was TLS only, so connecting to the IP will still leak the hostname, from the cert.

Edit: This was a really big security firm, too. Totally worthless audit. They actually complained that a site admin could "include iframes in the HTML, which could be a malware vector" when uploading content. Ignoring that they could also upload scripts and arbitrary binaries.

After their weeklong "penetration test" concluded, I found some serious XSS (public user->admin, which could easily turn into system takeover) with about 5 minutes of looking. Are most audits this useless?
Thanks, you might be right. I don't have trouble getting along though, I have trouble approaching and connecting. I can work on the approaching, but the connecting is problematic because of the whole getting bored of anything stuff. Hard to make any meaningful relationships when you don't give a ;;; about pretty much anything.
"Believe it or not, this was known 5 years ago"

It's been known for a lot longer than that. Larry Niven had them in his novel A World Out of Time (1976) and I think Heinlein had them in some of his novels from the 1960s.

I suspect the concept predates those novels.
Stranded: How America's Failing Public Transportation Increases Inequality
Casinos like to say that roughly 2% of players become addicted. What they fail to mention is that approximately half of all their revenue comes from these 2%. A more telling statistic is that approximately 10% of players account for 90% of all casino revenue [1]. The numbers are quite similar for games with IAP [2].

While every casino in the US displays signage claiming to support "responsible gaming" and claims to have policies in place to stop addicts from gambling, the reality is that if addicts were stopped, all casinos would be closed and bankrupt within a month. No capital-intensive industry could survive if 90% of their revenue suddenly vanished. And with that, we arrive at the truth: casinos are built explicitly for the creation and exploitation of addiction.

This is pretty evil, but it will continue happening as long as politicians can be bought to keep it legal. The only meaningful way to address it is to focus resources on treatment and prevention.

This is called self-exclusion or voluntary exclusion where you can elect to have yourself banned from casinos

some states have a state-wide list and some casinos in other states have their own self-exclusion lists
In canada, anyway, you have a limit as to how much you can donate and you receive tax credits in return. It's not 1:1 though, so it's not as if I can just donate my taxes to a charity rather than the government.
"Mathematics and the Internet: A Source of Enormous Confusion and Great Potential" http://www.ams.org/notices/200905/tx090500586p.pdf Is critical of scale-free networks of the preferential-attachment type, in particular of Barabasi's work. The paper is unusual for its polemic tone and for its name dropping. Researchers will trash each other in private--it is unusual to see this in print.

Much of the article is consumed with invidious comparisons of scale-free, preferential attachment network models of the internet with the authors’ own HOT (”highly organized/optimized tolerances/tradeoffs”) models: “In view of such a simple physical explanation of the origins of node degree variability in the Internet’s router-level topology, Stogartz’ question, paraphrasing Shakespeare’s Macbeth, ‘…power law scaling, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing?’ has a resounding affirmative answer.” The authors seem to suggest by this literary reference that a scale-invariant model of the Internet is a “tale told by an idiot.” This would not be lost on the readership of the Notices of the American Mathematical Society.

Its authors spare no opportunity to criticize their competition, as well as mathematicians and physicists generally, whom they regard as foppish, insular ivory tower aesthetes, whose nostrils are unacquainted with the bracing scent of an expertly soldered electrical connection.

Despite all of that, the authors are correct. I mention Doyle et al. because other authors have been critical of work on scale-free networks--this is not new. Doyle et al. warned about the misapplication of such networks to biology, though they mysteriously claimed that such failures of the scientific method "would reflect poorly on mathematics," as if mathematicians ought to be held responsible.
Faisal, Thanks for replying. Will it help if I start multiple campaigns each targeting multiple set of target audience?
One thing the author didn't mention that makes the Chicago flag so great is that it's easy for citizens and citizen groups to riff on

He did, though. "It's adaptable and remixable; the six-pointed stars in particular show up in all kinds of spaces - (guest) the coffee I bought the other day had a Chicago star on it".
Where are you from that "charitable donation" and "cost" are synonymous?
He mentions the DC flag, as on the same tier as Chicago's, towards the end of the talk.
I think if black students would otherwise be over-represented at the school it would make sense.

So Asian's are 5% of the US population [1] but make up 20% of the admitted applicants [2]. While African American's, representing 13% of the country [1] and a shameful legacy of mistreatment make up 12% of admitted applicants [2].

The problem is that admissions isn't based solely on your capabilities as a student at the time of application, but also on your potential to grow. Asian's tend to be fairly successful in the US (especially 2nd and 3rd generations) [wish I could find stats for this right now], if you start in a good environment with two intelligent well-meaning parents a 780 in math is impressive, if you're the son of a single mother with a father in jail and 3 younger siblings you share responsibilities for that 520 in math looks spectacular.

If I ever see Asian's in this being denied social mobility I'll raise torches and pitchforks, but in this scenario Harvard is a limited resource that provides immense social mobility for students from the lower echelons of society, if admissions were rooted solely in test scores and grades then these students with potential, but not the resources from birth, will be denied a chance to benefit from a prestigious education.

Every presentation is, for some people, the first one they are going to see about JS. It's a reminder of what is possible in 10 days, what the shortcomings may be and how long you may have to live with those shortcomings. It can't be repeated often enough.
Spellcheck is very, very cheap.
Gamergate jumped the shark when it first became a thing, it didn't need any Wikipedia-related drama to do it. :)
It's not necessary for the automation to solve the most difficult environments. As long as it can handle the majority of the distance it would be quite useful. For example a small number of operators could get the trucks to a depot near a highway, trucks could drive autonomously non-stop across the country, and then another operator could manually move them from a receiving depot to a local destination.
Yea for sure, can't hurt. Plus you'll be able to tell which audience converts better.

Though 1 day time frame is short to make that judgement call, but it's a start
Absolutely. But think about the potential of a drop-in 35mm 'digital inside'! Retro joy.

I agree, probably not practical.
Too bad it's mostly driven by marketers trying to make us more anxious about what we don't have.

"Don't have the newest Timmy the Dinosaur toy? Your parents don't love you any more!"
This is my field of study. Sometimes It's difficult to draw the line between well-designed and addictive. My personal deal breaker is when play becomes a sinkhole for money.

A more moral strategy would be to foster user awareness with threshold mechanisms: "You spent more than [threshold]$ today. We won't accept any more purchases until tomorrow."

If you're interested, I highly recommend N. Schüll's Addiction by Design.
RE the article about HTML 5 years ago - current web views are much more capable now (plus min hardware specs), so I would expect JavaScript apps to have continued growth for mobile.
Is wikipedia all that different? Youtube? Even Google itself?

Different manifestations of the same sort of thing, if you shift your perspective just a bit and look at how people use them.
I responded to another comment below[1]. I understand that it is easy to view these policies as racism but if you think about the people that spots are being freed for there is a larger net social gain.

I knew this would be unpopular when I posted it, and I am personally biased, but I don't think one can make the argument that Asian's lack socioeconomic mobility in the same way as some of the other races.

This kind of stuff could easily be resolved by including a specific and complete list in the first place.

Telling someone they aren't presentable isn't the same as telling a mostly well dressed person that the host wants them to wear dark socks with their dress shoes instead of white socks. (Hopefully this analogy is fitting.)
No, for OS you decide which compilator to choose. As is with browsers. There are several languages (e.g. TypeScript, CoffeeScript, Dart) which can be compiled to JS.

That is not what I personally like (the processes of compilation and deployment I mean), but if you develop for OS then you have to compile before you run... In most OS.
Unfortunately not. Node is bound tightly to V8, which is very C++.

You can, though, use things like node-ffi.
Unless we discuss this issue in terms of respect for user privacy, the cost/benefit analysis isn't even relevant.9

The fact that something is useful doesn't automagically make it ethical. I'm sure aggregated GA provides a lot of useful information. Our point is that if you are using GA - for any reason - then you're a spy that prioritizes your addiction to analytics over the privacy the people visiting your site.

Unfortunately, given you're posts in this thread, I don't expect you to understand this. Upton Sinclair was very insightful when he said, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!".

Have fun inspecting your analytics reports and using that data for another round of page tweaking and tuning; it maybe be more socially acceptable than the Twitter user who continually refreshes their latest post to watch their hit rate increase, but still a sign of addiction.
Betz's Law applies to turbines, but it this thing really a turbine? "No moving parts" and the fact that it operates via oscillation rather than rotation implies that this is not in fact a turbine. If it is not a turbine then there is no reason to assume Betz's Law must apply to it, perhaps there is something else that governs efficiency in this case?
I took the statement about Linux to be an unconventional use of 'considering'.

Imagine it said, 'On Linux, given apt is your package manager, run ...'

That would make it a statement covering a common case without assuming it's always the case.
Given the fact that Google don't follow their own guidelines (I checked their desktop and android download pages) it would be interesting to hear the EU competition commission's point of view given their current objections to Google's behaviour regarding adwords.
I don't know about NYC. (Downtown) Montreal seems to be a great place to use a bike, though.

There's no way the law has more bandwidth than "stay alert all the time".

I still encounter the odd cyclist who doesn't take care to stay out of my blind spot. Very unnerving.
I agree, it was just as obtuse as "free" when other words would have conveyed their intent better.
