Well, "city bike" rentals are very similar. You pay for a subscription, but you may show up to a bike rack and find they are all taken. It would take good tuning to make sure you don't over subscribe the service, and maybe some kind of way of showing the customer what the current capacity of the station is on the web.
I've also worked with ZMQ in the past, and our experiences were a little better because we didn't use it as a message bus, but rather as a transport medium between modules in our proprietary video decoder software. It basically took away a lot of the boilerplate code you have to write around socket programming, which was really nice.

If you're looking for an AMQP-compliant message bus that can be federated and clustered, RabbitMQ is pretty damn amazing.
In a sense, I agree: if the course is relevant to the work, the normal interview process will naturally identify people who don't know the relevant material.

But then, what about when you have far more applicants than time to interview them, and the question of course/degree completion really matters? Do you bring in everyone claiming to have a Stanford degree?
Lift vs. angle of attack
They're not faster. They take roughly the same amount of time, but with an extra bit of overhead for instantiating the worker and an event to say it's finished, so they're actually slower. But.. they don't block the browser doing things so the page still responses to input while they're working. If you need to do something that's doing to take 8s (e.g. this demo on my Mac Air), having the user still able to interact with the page while a progress bar updates is a huge advantage.
The shame for me is that I occasionally used the "with distinction" grading to push myself where I might otherwise think I've done a "good enough" job understanding the content. It really helped push me over the line when taking the "Mathematical Biostats Boot Camp" series, which I enjoyed. https://www.coursera.org/course/biostats

It's silly, I know, but free certificates were the gamification of learning, and I'll miss that particular aspect of the game.
Ahhhh man in the middle

yes of course you're right

That's different though than Apple "handing over the encryption key" to someone's conversation.

... that's Apple actively deceiving a user during a conversation ... Apple actively, intentionally, lying to users to say that their conversations are encrypted to Apple but in fact not.

Assuming Apple is being honest and not doing this, what happens when the government asks Apple to "hand over the encryption keys"? Does this mean Apple has to agree to participate in a man in the middle attack?

It's not just shamanism. I've met psychonaut, meditator, or practitioners in ceremonial magic will tell you about such shifts.

Here are some of the recent ones I've found:

MageLife, P. Tempest. Warning: badly edited, though the run-on sentences has it's own rhythm and somehow works with consciousness shifts. This author nailed it. This is the one that stands out the most among the ones I have read.

MageBorn: the Blacksmith's Son. Five book series. First book is badly edited when I read it (the author didn't get a professional editor until the second book), and you don't really start seeing the consciousness shifts until at least the second book. It becomes more prominent as the series goes on. However, the first book starts out by treating enchantments as a lost technology.

Notable mentions:

"Path of Calm" is OK, but it could be done a lot better. I applaud the author's attempt because, frankly, people are stumbling their way through it. The book's "paths" are loosely based on Buddhist practices, with "Path of Calm" being samatha, and "Path of Fire" being tumo. However, the way the author talked about working with emotions tells me that, while the author might have meditative practice ... you can tell where his personal experience ends when when he starts making shit up.

"Dawn of Wonder" doesn't start with magic. It does deal deep with emotions. It's probably one of the better fictional books I've seen that depicts a genuine "born again" experience. That's towards the end though.

DK Holmberg's series, starting with Chased by Fire is OK. Again, by "OK", I mean it shows these shifts better than your run-of-the-mill magic-as-technology. The series is a bit slow, since the main character ignores a lot of himself quite a bit. I have to admit, I have not finished the series. Fell off of it at the end of the fourth book and have not gotten back into it.

There is one by a Russian author, but I don't remember the name. In this world, there are no prisoners. Criminals get sent into an MMO with the pain blockers settings removed. There are a lot of classical MMO elements -- but as you start getting deeper into the book, you start seeing those shifts come out. I'm looking forward to the next books in the series when they get translated to English.

Not in Rust 1.0. In the nightlies there are syntax extensions available that give you more power, but those are likely to see significant revisions before they're available in a stable version since they're a major backwards compatibility hazard.
I have some very strong doubts that a MOOC will ever be able to offer the laboratory experience that you'd get at a traditional university (I'm not talking entry level). To do a lot of the EE work I've done in the past, you really need to know what you're doing, and a lot of the equipment, like a good vector network analyzer, is both incredibly cost prohibitive (new ones can reach a quarter of a million), and really take some expert knowledge to operate effectively (i.e. someone should be there with you to ensure the you don't break the machine). MOOCs may be good for CS, and they may be good for teaching entry level knowledge, because of the way the accumulation of very expensive equipment and experience/intelligence surrounding the field, at least for the immediate engineering fields I've been exposed to. I think it's still far better (if not the only decent way) to have a faculty mentor present and have a lot more close cooperation (as atleast I did when I was in university) when learning a lot of the specialist EE knowledge I got back when I was in school. I doubt you'll ever see MOOCs progress much in this regard, nor would I want to hire an engineer who did not have some level of hands on design and lab experience described above.

Also to deflect a potential counterpoint: most of the very expensive equipment will probably never be any cheaper because it isn't built in enough quantities, and for things like good RF equipment, everything needs to be carefully spec'd and machined, and the manufacturing is very time and resource intensive (you're getting your money's worth on a good spectrum analyzer or network analyzer, typically).
Ah, indeed, thank you. This is encouraging and I'd like to see more of this. We need spaces for experimentation and competition, and the more libraries attack this "NoBroker" space, the better. I do wish Nano would stand on its own merits rather than the cheap "why we're better than ZeroMQ" marketing. Also I'm somewhat disappointed that Sustrik isn't using Nano in his own new projects (like libmill). That's not a great vote of confidence.
On what do you base that assertion?

You make a really nice argument here. I would just like to clarify why I don't consider misogynist movements subcultures: it is, essentially, for the same reason I wouldn't consider pop music or the Java community as "subcultures".

If, using the article's terms, the sociopaths have already exploited its potential for financial benefit to its maximum extent, and if this expression of culture is the dominant, normative expression of culture for its cultural domain, then it is not a subculture, even when you put a new, fancy name on top.
very cool. Not exactly related but I have been thinking if it would be possible to teach deep neural networks lie detection from video/audio feed, picking up on cues that we would normally ignore (facial microexpressions etc)
> "If firms abandon trying to differentiate themselves with good service, they are making themselves vulnerable to the sort of attack Britain’s mainstream supermarkets are now suffering from an invasion of German discounters."

Hasn't internet shopping shown that "good service" often does mean self service instead of obsequious staff? Businesses should be eager to get rid of their large staff of customer service drones and replace them with automated systems and a handful of well-paid human exception handlers.

A note -- if you're linking to arXiv, it's better to link to the abstract (http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9908043, or http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9908043v3 for this particular version) rather than directly to the PDF. From the abstract, one can easily click through to the PDF; not so the reverse. And the abstract allows one to do things like see different versions of the paper, search for other things by the same authors, etc. Thank you!
We've stopped using "ØMQ" in text and now just use "ZeroMQ" in most places (like in the Guide). The original choice was to annoy people into remembering the name... it kind of worked though got tiresome after a few years. I still like the logo.
If they really can't find her, they should peruse the obits for her husband.

Now, here's the thing. There are a few big-name authors who does it well, but in weird places. This shows up a lot in Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga -- it's sci fi.

Brent Weeks books all have this, and he does a great job with the martial arts in there too. These would be the Shadow Angel trilogy and the Lightbringer series.

The books Brandon Sanderson after he ghost-wrote the end of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series have some of these aspects. Robert Jordan is pretty good about this in some of the places.
Absolutely. Free will and ability to differentiate right from wrong are way overrated.

A tangentially related optimization:

Requires that order not be important, of course. Ditto, it's more trouble than it's generally worth if you're doing any sort of multithreading, or if you're using something where writes are much slower than reads.

It's also handy for most hash tables. (Though generally you should be using a Cuckoo hashtable anyways)

That's really awesome to hear! I work on the Stanford edX team, but we don't see a lot of feedback from our off-campus users (even though there are lots of them). It's great to know that MOOCs are actually helping people out. In case anyone hasn't heard of our site (it's a little smaller than the more well known ones), we run a public edX instance at lagunita.stanford.edu and maintain forks of the edX repositories at github.com/StanfordOnline.
For using the barcode, a dedicated scanner is clearly better (especially faster). Reading the barcode with the camera is reliable as a fallback, but many products have packaging that should be possible to recognize directly with a camera, especially for items you commonly buy.

I don't know, maybe that's overkill and just pointing the barcode at a dedicated reader is actually the better experience.
Are the ends of the arrow free, though? It's moving through the air fast enough that I'd imagine there'd be lift/drag effects if it's not head-on to the airstream.
Good to know. For what it's worth, the majority of my bad experiences were in 2013 to late 2014, and usually through the python bindings.

Usually calling the functions in differnt ways was able to dodge the problem. It's not always quite obvious what caused it to crash, but it was sort of "if it hurts when you do that" sort of thing. Often these types of errors happened only under heavy traffic and were hard to replicate except under stress or lots of repeated calls.

If not using the python bindings, it might be better off for most people.
I did think of a story I want to write.

People use magic a lot in combat settings, and I finally got tired of that. If say, magic comes from the shaping of consciousness, what if there are grave consequences to using magic to kill someone.

The story I'll write (eventually) starts with an intelligent kid whose been told never to do that. He's smarter than his teachers and parents. One day, he saw someone in trouble, wanted to be a hero -- and prove all those other adults wrong -- and steps in to kill someone.

Consequences ensues. He pretty much spends his whole life trying to run away from said consequences.

Not your usual fare. Most people want to hear a story about defeating impossible odds :-D

You can blame her. I can't count the reports of such cases, where they throw away valuable things, just because they're not all chrome and shiny.
As somebody who disagrees with much of what "Silicon Valley" accepts as common sense (you can read my past comments if you care), I'd suggest that startups have to be just as careful about unrealistic long-term expectations as they are about unrealistic short-term expectations. It's just as easy to fall for "If you build it they will come" as it is to convince yourself that your lack of traction will miraculously address itself if you can stay afloat long enough.

As burritofanatic noted in his comment, the fundamental question for Casetext is "What is the incentive for a user to annotate case law?" If the incentive or incentives were compelling, you would not expect a statement like "The cases are mostly barren, and the ones with annotations aren’t particularly insightful like the earlier ones from when Casetext was first announced" nearly two years in. You'd see evidence of increasing traction.

Casetext is trying to attack a very difficult market. Bloomberg invested over a billion dollars trying to do the same thing and had very limited success. Casetext has raised less than $10 million.

Many people assume that panes must be fixed solidly within a solid frame. ISTM the frame itself could be somewhat flexible, to accommodate Boyle's Law and the regular sea-level-to-8k-ft pressure cycle. There may well be other factors involved, especially the beautiful simplicity of drilling a hole. However, if for any particular use case the hole proves problematic, we might expect to see the backup pane in such a flexible arrangement.
Well, ok, but you would have to be powerfully insane to conclude "Someone made a penis out of these generic construction blocks online, clearly these generic construction blocks are unsavory."

> It's the same reason you probably have double panes in your home: thermal and noise insulation. Air has terrible thermal and noise conduction. So you need two panes and air between them.

I think it's the lack of air in double-paned windows that helps. Usually double-paned windows have a vacuum so that air molecules can't move from the outer pane to the inner pane. Surely air is a fine conductor of heat if we consider our weather system. And surely it's also a fine conductor of sound, if we consider our hearing system. In soundproofing applications, open air channels are the top priority, and the simplest way to dampen the sound is by adding mass. Sound doesn't travel at all through a perfect vacuum though (no sound in space), so typical double-paned glass should have an effect there.
It's a real problem. How do you handle volunteers when you can't handle volunteers, and still retain the relationship? The essence of the post is not the complaint, it's the dilemma.

> there would pretty much always be a better language choice for a serious project

The Mirage library OS is a pretty serious project. Facebook also uses OCaml for Flow and the Hack type checker. And of course, Jane Street Capital uses OCaml.

But I'm guessing what you mean is that OCaml is a very non-mainstream language, so it will be rejected for most corporate projects just because it's so foreign.

Offtopic, but I hate the usage of the word "transpiler" and I hate how popular it got.

First of all the word "compiler" is perfectly adequate to convey the meaning of a "transpiler", meaning a computer program whose purpose is to translate code from one programming language into another. The usage of the word "transpiler" only happened because of languages like CoffeeScript, as a word was needed to express that CoffeeScript is just as broken as Javascript, but with syntax changed for no good reason.

But more importantly, many compilers that target Javascript, such as Scala.js, ClojureScript, GHCJS, Dart, are very much not like CoffeeScript, meaning that we are talking about languages with different type and module systems, with big standard libraries, that treat Javascript as bytecode and that need to be compressed with Google Closure to be viable. If you're missing the source-maps, the end result will be much harder to understand than Java or .NET bytecode. Therefore the usage of the word "transpiler" in this context is not only annoying, but incorrect as well.
> angels get equity (series "pre-A"). Set a price. Now the next round values the company at 30M pre -- they get a small chunk of a company worth a lot, and that has a good chance of being worth a lot more in future.

And now angels can say they turned $100k investment at 5 post cap into $600k, where as with case 2 they only get a larger chunk.

> All kinds of entities get the same terms on the note. Both get the discount.

Yeah, I understand the the terms are the same. I mean that a year in, on an uncapped note both institutionals and angels can't go to their partners/friends and say "We put in $100k into XYZcorp, and now they raised a series A and our stake is worth $2m". They only get to make 25% gains from the discount.

Capped notes are ideal for investors, the money amount is too small to justify board involvement from them, so the note sidesteps that while possibly having the best liquidation conversion/ratchet/debt structuring.

Capped notes are what everyone wants to see put in place on top of the companies that might turn into unicorns, but they give investors insurance of sorts for lower exit events.
Without the hole, the space between the two panes will be pressurized. I'm not sure what the exact figures are (I'm not a phycisist) but I would guess that without the hole the outer pane will be subjected to some force F due to the presure, and the inner pane will be subjected to some force F/2, or even equal.

Without the hole the system would probably be better modeled as a single pane with an airgap between its inner and outer edges. It's likely that both panes would fail at the same time.

> Yes, they don't want to be associated with someone who might use that association to emotionally harm others. I don't see the contradiction.

OK. I don't know how else to explain it.

> Private organizations are allowed to prohibit certain types of speech. That is part of what freedom of assembly means.

Sure, they are free to do this and no one should force them otherwise. However, if your mission is to pursue knowledge, then you should often engage publicly with people whose views you find repellant. (In other words, we are talking about a hypothetical imperative rather than a categorical one.) This is indeed MIT's mission, which is why MIT (and most universities) sometimes make the conscious choice to engage with despicable people in this way, even if they have a freedom of association not to.

The connection to Mills is not that he thought people were required to always associate with unsavory individuals, it's that he thought two things: (1) People shouldn't punish others merely for having bad views, including non-violent forms of punishment like boycots. (2) Empirically, human brains are led to the best and most robust beliefs by engaging with bad ideas rather than by being shielded from them; insofar as exposure to bad beliefs leads them to be adopted by human, this is a failure of their reasoning and preparation, not a failure of someone else to prevent exposure.

> If we don't like someone else's opinion, we don't have to express it for them.

I never meant to imply otherwise. The rest of your comment seems to think I did. Sorry if I was unclear.

> How about you clarify to me what the freedom of assembly means, and its connections to the freedom of speech?

No time right now, unfortunately.
