Coming from a Go mindset, having moved a significant portion of dev to Go from Python, in many ways for "goroutines", it seems as if there still isn't a parallel, unless I'm missing something.

In the simplest case in Go, it's easy for me to toss off some concurrent processing and not wait or care about what happens in those functions. For all intents and purposes, it feels like parallel execution (I know, I know).

I can't quite wrap my head around how generators or async/await gives me the same functionality. What am I missing?

At first, "keeping track of your stuff" set me into thinking this was supposed to be a way to find lost keys or something.

I tend to dislike the hero/villain dichotomy that is usually held up. I think the Snowden leaks have caused tremendous damage to the US geopolitically, and I think the manner in which he is releasing the documents has elements of narcissism and carelessness in regards to the sensitivity of the information.

That being said, Snowden probably would not have absconded with this massive trove of information if the US government did not suppress the whistleblowers who came before him. Binney [1], Weibe and Loomis tried to stop the precursors to the NSA's current activities back in 2002, and they paid for it with legal harassment. Those three men were real patriots, and did not dump thousands of documents about intelligence activities that were going on.

Unfortunately, when you don't let pressure bleed off gently in a system things build up until then next opening results in a catastrophic failure.

- Violent offenders represent 53% of the population of state prisons and 7.9% in federal prisons [1]. So what's everybody else doing there? Also, it's necessary to present evidence that our unheard of incarceration rates are what actually casued violent crime to drop to unheard-of lows. Some people have proposed, for example, that the most compelling reason for the drop in violent crime in the US was attributable to lower levels of lead exposure in children of the 70s and 80s, due to the elimination of lead from gasoline and paint.

- [edit: I misread what you were saying here, the point about the death penalty is a non-sequitur on my part] Your second point isn't one I would disagree with but, but I don't think your example is a particularly good one: there is ample evidence indicating that the death penalty does not serve as a particularly strong deterrent. For example, murder rates in the US are actually lower in death penalty states, and have been since the 90s.

- "That means changes need to occur with the electorate, not elite legal minds." The author never asserts the legal profession is the only thing that can reform our broken criminal justice system. However he points out that the legal services we have now are vastly inadequate to the job of protecting the rights of most Americans caught up in the criminal justice system, and that part of the reason so many people are incarcerated is that they recieve little-to-no represenatation. Furthermore: "even apart from the millions of pending criminal cases for which people are not being provided a well-resourced and zealous attorney, every one of the thousands of unlawful stops, searches, home raids, beatings, taserings, shootings, and arrests that take place every day forms the basis for a freestanding constitutional civil rights suit. A quiet tragedy of the legal system is that these rampant daily violations are almost never litigated."

The broader point he is making is that the criminal justice system is only able to grind through tens of thousands of lives each day becuase those involved in it--and that includes lawyers and judges--are commited to keeping that system well-oiled and functioning. "Imagine a world in which lawyers stood ready, en masse, to use their skills and training and intellects to vindicate these constitutional rights every day. Such a social movement of lawyers would dramatically alter the nature of the legal system and our society. The system of modern policing, which depends on callous indifference to vindicating basic rights, would crumble at our simple willingness to hold it to its own formal rules. We can do it, but only through massive collective action to act on our professional and moral values."

Likely the smallest wattage will limit the maximum amount of waste heat the batteries experience, which means less wear (physical, chemical, etc. thermal/electrical damage). Also, opt to charge the device at the lowest device operating temperature and with the most available cooling (battery side up or standing near vertical, not in a sleeve under a blanket). And from previous articles, charge from 50% up to about 70%, discharge, rinse-lather-repeat. Store device for extended times at about 60% charge at the lowest possible non-operating temperature (probably 40-50 •F, 4-10 •C)

Beware: cold->heat too quickly often leads to internal condensation in humid weather and extreme temperature changes, shorting out a device if ionic impurities are on internals, when bringing a cold device into a much hotter or humid room too quickly. Instead, give it enough time to warm gradually, so condensation doesn't form (say limit temperature change to 10 •F / 4 •C per 30 minutes). Most devices still power some components while "off," so a condensation short is a still a remote but plausible possibility, which is why avoiding condensation is a good idea. BTW a "perfect" gadget would be waterproof, float AND either include a hygrotherm to evaporate thermal transition condensation or not have internal air pockets to prevent condensation.
Or you could take totally the opposite approach and say that the cost-benefit doesn't need to be done for any of them. They're all drugs (including tobacco and alcohol), and they can all cause issues in different ways. Let's help the people who have problems with them.

Also, you don't need to totally legalize drugs. Though I'd love to see how that might work out.

If at any point your society thinks it needs to wage a war on the way its own citizens choose to behave you might want to take a nice long introspective look at society.

I guess this is kind of where I'm at with him. Although I don't really think he's a "bad guy". What he did was treason and it was "wrong", but I think in this case the ends justify the means. What he exposed was far worse than how he did it.
The problem with these "never heard before" apps (there was one prior... I can't recall the name) is that they effectively end up just playing musical spam. If you look around at the bottom of the barrel you have all these horrible companies that have either purchased rights to songs, or recorded cover versions, all under the guise of being the real thing. It's basically the Walmart DVD bin, or the "Just like CK One" perfume.

If there was something that played only legit, small label stuff by artists who are trying to make great music (not a company trying to make a quick buck), then that would be fantastic.
> But there could be parts of Mars we can transform, within a 100 years or so - just like the early settlers of every continent on Earth, ever in the history of mankind - and turn into a habitable place to live.

Mars' atmospheric pressure is 0.6% of Earth's. It's for all practical purposes a vaccum. Liquids boil away. You will die without some kind of suit even if you converted all the gases to nitrogen and oxygen.

Mars has 10% of the mass of Earth. Surface gravity is a third of Earth's. Long-term survival in low-gravity might be possible, but it will not be pleasant and it will mean returning to Earth will be effectively impossible.

Mars will never be habitable unless we assemble a whole new planet.

How the data are persisted ?
> white people are significantly less likely to be arrested for drug possession, despite usage rates being fairly similar

This is an oft repeated lie. Blacks use narcotics at well over double the white rate. Claims that rates are similar are based on surveys, as opposed to test data.

Anyway, you are missing the point here that prosecutors know exactly who they're convicting. Sentences now are almost all plea bargains. They get serious criminals to plea out on narcotics charges rather than go to court and face the full set of charges and a 25 year sentence. They don't even bother prosecuting some kid with some drugs. This is how the system works. It may be problematic, but it's not as broken as naive people assume.

It seems as if you're saying violent crime is a function of race (crazy talk) instead of class status (arguable).

Is it possible that, due to race-income inequalities in America, that black males are also more likely to have low/no income at the same "much higher rate"?
The article mentions but does not address the point of altruism. Nobody wants to be a stool pigeon singing to the police on someone they know, even if it's anonymous. The result is that the set of enforced laws is a strict subset of the set of laws that the majority of people would find reasonable. That's why we create police forces in the first place- to be our better selves. The war on black America needs to end, but simply democratizing enforcement isn't the way to do it.

But that's exactly the point -- it could be. We now know that a body with almost no oversight not just can but does backdoor US-produced equipment. This is not conspiracy-theory territory anymore, it's hard fact and anyone making decisions on procurement from now on will have to deal with it, not just "hard targets" -- because you never know when you will become a "hard target" for a body with basically no oversight.

So in that sense, there is nothing wrong with Greenwald's reporting.

This is a good resource for onboarding with J:

http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Books#Math_for_the_Layman

J is as easy to pick up as using an ordinary calculator. Reading J can be as hard as reading mathematical notation. It is obscure in the same way as any other mathematical notation. What does:

x

signify in a third grade classroom? J is off the beaten path of programming languages because it is designed to be immediately useful for mathematics, and not just the higher level Phd stuff, but ordinary tasks that 3rd graders perform.

It looks unusual because it starts from the point of view of notation and is compact in exactly the same way that

*

is compact in C, Python, VBA etc. It is directly applicable in a third grade classroom because:

3 * 4
3 x 4
3 times 4

are isomorphic notations. What J does is extend the number of notations that are accessible from the Latin character set encoding to include compact notations for counting and summing and all sorts of other things. But it still provides the sort of operations that are useful to young students and which they commonly perform on a calculator.
Ill-gotten wealth ? AFAIK Russia gets its wealth mostly from oil.
I like the sibling comments, here's my own take on that question. I spend my time proactively solving operational problems, while you typical sysadmin acts much more reactively.

Just because it's asm doesn't mean it's fast, sure. Just because it's C doesn't mean it's faster than an implementation in your favourite scripting language.

Having said that, compilers do pretty badly on C-to-simd optimisation. The best you get is loop vectorization if it's really simple logic. You can usually get some pretty good wins there. The fact you lay out your memory for simd usually is a win all of its own due to cache prefetching even if you don't actually use any simd instructions. Compilers need heuristics to manage cache when you know what you're trying to do, (eg when should it use non-temporal writes, for example?) Fast C code is written while having a really clear mental model of the underlying architecture and the assembly that the C will produce with -O3 (or whatever flag is relevant to your compiler) and then checked with -S or objdump -D, profiled with callgrind/cachegrind, perf, rdtsc etc...

The compiler really can't "Do it for you" You /can/ use a compiler as one of your tools when /you/ do it. As Randy Hyde points out you can always beat the compiler because you can use its generated assembly language in every case you can't beat, so the absolute worst you get is a tie.

So yeah, you can totally smoke clang, Intel, microsoft and gnu C compiler and get paid something for doing it in certain industries too. :-)

> For instance, leaking how the US is spying on foreign nations, which is the whole reason for the NSA to exist.

True, but this also paints the US leaders as hypocrites. Snowden showed that the NSA was hacking Chinese computers at a time when the US was loudly proclaiming innocence while denouncing "Chinese hacking."
I do. But it looks like I'm comparing apples and oranges. Goroutines and Erlang processes feel very much like lightweight threads. Async/Await still pause for return, but doesn't block the calling thread (it seems like). I'm trying to do some research on the patterns (mostly C# vs Go because this PEP is still newish) and it SEEMS like that's what's happening here.
