Well, yeah, that's the idea—"export-grade cryptography" essentially means means "cryptography we, as a state actor, can win against in a cyberwar."
>>‘Generational thinking is just a benign form of bigotry.’

I disagree. It would be wacky to deny grouping societies into cohorts. Certainly, members of minorities groups might not have the same values as the majority but this doesn't mean the larger group doesn't exist, and that the grouping is not useful.
At work I use VsVim and this plugin https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/74d68e2b-ff64... allows both simultaneously, which suits me best. I have not been able to achieve that in vim yet though.
Even if development is not public, the source code is licensed as open-source and it can be forked, which is the whole freaking point. Amazon could fork it. Nokia could fork it. One can argue that CyanogenMod is a fork as well.

What makes little sense is to start again, mostly from scratch (or from MeeGo or its successor, which is basically from scratch). This project is a failure before they started working on it.

I am certain you are correct that anyone who posts on the internet saying they'd personally like to live on Mars probably hasn't given it as much consideration as they would if they were actually given the opportunity. Posting on the internet about moving to Mars is a much smaller commitment than moving to Mars.
Labeling is human way of dealing with complexity. Obviously it has exception but it is good starting point for reasoning. The problem is if you don't update your belief system with more evidence you will get and or seek for.
They're also planning to get to Mars before US or anyone else does.

Sorry, typing from my phone so this will be short.

Anyone who thinks generational labels and associated stereotypes are meaningless needs to read William Strauss and Neil Howe's excellent book, titled The Fourth Turning. It makes a very well-documented and compelling case that every generation is defined by the events of their era, and they take on the characteristics of one of four archetypes: prophet, nomad, hero and artist.

Their theory is described in detail here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss–Howe_generational_the...

it is best to avoid all simple carbs or may be even carbs at all. The reason people eat carbs is to hack the brain and get high on dopamines. I salivate when I think about a sandwich or a cookie or even a banana. I could eat them any time of day before. How can a fatso be hungry couple of hours after a meal? No way. The craving kicks in and he goes to a fridge and searches for a snack, and it won't be a broccoli
It can connect to REST apis etc, there's an http client included. I'll update the documentation this weekend into a proper github wiki to make things clearer.
To build upon it a little bit: does everyone remember last Boston snowstorm and how everybody (who still had internet connection) cried and moaned that this is the absolute worst weather they've ever had?

Compared to Mars, Boston is so hospitable that you could name it Maui instead. I mean, you could practically open your window, look outside, and not freeze-dry to death in seconds.

nginx takes OpenSSL cipher specs, as does apache and a lot of other programs.

The `openssl ciphers -v CIPHERSPEC` command will list out what's enabled with a given setting.
6 is 1 mod 5. So the sum of all the digits in base 6 of such a number, must be 0 or 1 mod 5 (because the last digit in base 5, has the value of the number mod 5, and here has to be 0 or 1)

If a number only has 0's or 1's in a base, the sum of its digits in that base is just the number of 1's.

Similarly, 5 is 1 mod 4, 4 is 1 mod 3, 3 is 1 mod 2.

Inspect 82000:

10111000 in base 5: 4 1's, is 0 mod 4
110001100 in base 4: 4 1's, is 1 mod 3
11011111001 in base 3: 8 1's, is 0 mod 2

Seems worth mentioning.
Meteor's RPCs support automatic optimistic UI updates, where the same code can be used to update the client side data store and the server side database, resulting in the perception of zero latency between server and client.

Building that functionality out yourself from scratch could be difficult, since all of the components of Meteor work together to make that experience possible.
Is TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA with a 768-bit group less secure than TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA? Doesn't DHE just add an extra perfect forward secrecy layer to the non-DHE cipher suite without changing anything else?

That parameter is only for SSHv1 and if you have SSHv1 enabled you've already lost.

What they are refering to is the Key Exchange method named "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" which uses a 1024-bit DH group. You can disable this with use of the KexAlgorithms parameter. Starting with OpenSSH 6.6 it is already disabled on the server side, but still allowed with the client. There are severe interoperability problems with embedded devices if disabled.

"Acquiring the customers" seems to be a business strategy with a high failure rate, else we'd be yahooing instead of googling or facebooking. It's hard to predict what competitors are going to blow up, and as soon as they get traction the price goes high - Facebook may have bought WhatsApp, but apparently SnapChat is holding out for more.

I actually think the "free market" works pretty well at this, even if it's not perfect. Nothing is.

Why Chicago
That's just the kind of thing a GenX'er would say. Sort of kidding, sort of not, let me explain.

The thing about generational cohorts are that they share a set of significant experiences at a common point in their growth to adulthood. So for me it was Jimmy Carter, Regan, "Stagflation" and the post Vietnam War mess. For teens today it will be around things like Yik Yak, internet lives, Ferguson riots, Snowden, and debt. The government is perceived in a "way" and the world is being wrenched by a particular set of issues, and your family is affected by various events, and your peers are passionate about various causes. They all add up to a generational "imprint" which is the poly miasmic tint that affects the perception of every future event. You break free from the crysalis that is childhood innocence and your eyes open up on a wider stage, and it is that first moment of perception that lays all sorts of groundwork in you about what is important and what isn't, what is right and what is wrong.

Oddly there is no way, really, to easily not get imprinted, and because of that imprinting you will recognize others who came of age at that same time as peers and people who came of age earlier or later as "different" (sometimes good different and sometimes bad different).

Because those groupings exist, they cannot help but exist, and as you get older you will see different groupings reacting to the same sorts of problems everyone deals with (dating, jobs, careers, families, politics) and you will recognize that different groups react differently from other groupings but similar to other members of the group, well you'll want to put a name to that. And you'll call them the "<nom de jeur> generation" or "our generation" or "my parents generation".

It would be good to ditch being sensitive about how folks of your generational cohort respond though. Getting past name calling is usually a good sign of maturing. Not that it won't bother you, just like getting stung by a bee often bothers you, except that you can see and accept the bee sting, and the name calling, for what it is, the last ditch response of an organism that is feeling threatened.

Unary is a well defined concept, but it's not "base 1".

Or if you don't want to argue about the definition of base, at the very least it doesn't have any of the properties other base systems have.

A number in any base system can be thought of as an infinite string of zeros, followed by the digits. "1" is just a convenience, it could also be written "0000000001", or "0000...0001".

And then you can extend it to decimals, and have an infinite string of zeros after the decimal point. You can't have decimals in unary.

In other words it isn't necessary to store any additional information on how many symbols you need. The symbols are fixed, you just choose what state they are in.

Unary "cheats" by using a meaningless symbol and passing all the information in the number of times the symbol is written.

All the algorithms for adding numbers, dividing, subtraction, etc, can be generalized to work in any base. But not unary. Unary requires entirely different algorithms because it's not a base number system.

The formulas for converting between two bases work for any base system except unary. The formulas for measuring the number of digits you need to represent a number work for any base system except unary.

It's just an entirely different system of representing numbers. It's more similar to Roman numerals.
I did the first couple years of my undergrad (starting 1990) in Ada. I liked the generics, although the lack of inheritance was peculiar for an OO language. As a Pascal programmer in high school, Ada was pleasant and familiar, but I quickly lost interest when I discovered Eiffel. Eiffel felt like what Ada should have been from the beginning.

I've not written a single line of either post-graduation.

Aircraft manufacturers and operators go through great amounts of effort to avoid single points of failure. E.g. on a twin they overhaul the two engines at different times.

But this is different. I wonder if they need to rethink their approach to software? Four engines, running the same software --> single point of failure.

Its absolutely about calories. Habits related to particular foods, including carbs, may be particularly common contributors to thee calorie excess (either by contributing to more calories, or by contributing to food sources which produce feelings which discourage exercise, or both) but ultimately fat gain is produced by a calorie surplus, and maintaining lots of fat.
I think someone completely missed the point of Avengers 2. He claims that science fiction takes our focus away from real world issues (lets completely ignore for the moment, that is the sole point of entertainment) But science fiction in general typically tackles real world problems set in a different place or time.
Avengers tackled issues such as AIs and robots taking over (While not an immediate issue, it is more important today than a few years ago)
Or giving up our freedom for security (basically locking humanity up in a cage to protect them) Or the fact that someone who has altruistic intentions could still harm someone.
Science Fiction tends to tackle more "real world" issues than many other forms of entertainment does.

What's the performance like?
I agree with someone's DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) answer but the benefits go beyond reducing typing. In this case, not repeating the target variable improves readability and avoids errors. Consider if you were coding this:

fruitx = fruitx + 23;

What if you also had a fruity variable and accidentally wrote:

fruitx = fruity + 23;

You (and the compiler!) might easily miss the difference.

Of course, there's a tradeoff with terseness vs. readability and some languages (Perl, Lisp, APL) are notorious for having obscure single-character shortcuts and chaining semantics that make them powerful and as opaque as alien hieroglyphics.

It is always better to err on the side of readability and only use shortcuts (like +=) that are easily understood by junior developers. If understanding your code depends on obscure language trivia you'd only encounter in a devious coding interview, you're only creating puzzles for your colleagues or your future self to unravel later.
Your expected value calculation is also missing an important factor. He had a ~30% chance of being +$30k after a year, sure, and he probably did that math.

I criticized TED years ago on Twitter, and someone responded to me (who had gone) about how life changing it was and how she was motivated and now was going to really make a difference the world. I challenged her on this and said "honestly, what are the odds that you're going to do anything?" She was certain that TED was significant and she was empowered and she was going to make a difference.

Now, I use Twitter so rarely (in part because of that kind of exchange-- I wasn't rude to her at all, I was just trying to make my case) -- that going back it was easy to see years later if she'd actually done anything. I checked, googled her name, nothing.

TED made her feel a certain way. Important for sure. She was very full of herself and she felt that TED was a place of rate "doers" who "will make a dent on the universe" (this was before TEDx, before TED videos when you had to pay boucoup bucks and be part of the special group of invitees in order to go, IIRC)....

She paid 5 figures to TED for a weekend seminar, at the end of which her self esteem was boosted (don't think it needed it) into the range of smugness and she felt it was important.

I disagree. I think it was an ego stroker and she accomplished nothing (and based on what she said I can conclude this from google searches because she didn't do any of the things she said she would do.)

I didn't write back to her to point this out... but this was my little ad hoc experiment.

I remember when I first heard of an acquaintance who got invited to TED and how supremely smug he was when he got back, and how he'd share little stories of rubbing elbows with celebrities and references to events.... I've never been a fan of exclusivity and so that sorta made me jealous and not really like it. But over the years it became more and more irritating.

TED is propaganda. Propaganda of high form.

I think americans are so saturated in propaganda that like a fish who can't recognize water as a thing, Americans don't realize how much of their beliefs and perspectives are shaped by propaganda. When they see propaganda that disagrees with the propaganda they've internalized they react really negatively, and not in a critical thinking here's how it's wrong from a logical basis-- but from a tribal get-rid-of-the-alien perspective.

It's important to stay out of dogma. Something that makes you feel good about yourself and important should be considered critically. IT might be healthy, and it might not be.

I think TED is unhealthy and actually corrosive and anti-intellectual.

> Seeing three makes you aware of how intolerably formulaic they are.

This is certainly true of you and me. However, I believe this is not true of the vast majority of people.

Making people think they are thinking while turning off their critical thinking skills is an accomplishment in propaganda, for sure, but I don't think most people realize it's happening.

Really cutting edge forums or salons do have a measurable impact on the world-- but they are simultaneously more exclusive (because the vast majority are not aware of them) and less exclusive (Because the vast majority are simply not interested, not because they're actually excluded.)

Cyclical theories are popular precisely because they have some empirical backing in closely related fields. Consider the predator-prey model, for example: Some generations of predator will experience abundance, others will struggle to survive. The impact of this experience on future behavior is, most likely, non-zero. It doesn't determine everything, but neither is it a non-factor.

The fallacy lies in overfitting the data towards the theory. At twenty years old, a human generation is defined by its parenting. By sixty, it's peaked in influence and started on its way out. It's relatively hard to say anything definite until late in the cycle. As well, people in the cohort are all dying along the way, year by year, and they largely don't get represented in "what the generation is." It's the people who make it near to retirement, and have the power to call the shots, who get in the final word.

Both Germany and the US do not like to think about US soldiers committing war crimes or even behaving badly in WWII.

The US thinks so, because its war was all about moral high ground, ignoring its very own blatant racism at home.

Germany likes to think so, because the liberation by the US actually ended in being liberated. Millions of civilians had to flee and/or were being raped by the Red army. Prisoners of war ended in Siberian gulags for decades, while the GDR was constructed at home.

I think with time passing it becomes easier to paint a more complex and realistic picture acknowledging the situation these (often young) people were in, without justifying their actions. I would like to see glorification shifting more and more to memorization of a time and of circumstances that brought out the worst in people and must never happen again anywhere in the world.
