If you're talking a server, then the exposed application servers (those listening on ports) would be better served as an abstraction from the core OS (lxc is a decent collection of solutions for that, as would BSD jails, or even Solaris containers)...

As to end-user applications, if you are developing using Perl, Python, etc.. then developing against the host is your choice... that said, having the result deployed separately might be a better option, in a container a valid one.

You bring up a great example... OpenSSL has a minor change, you upgrade that package, and everything runs fine, except a ruby gem you rely on is broken, and your system is effectively down, even if that ruby app isn't publicly facing, and only used internally. If they were in isolated containers, you could upgrade and test each app separately without affecting the system as a whole. Thank you, you've helped me demonstrate my point.

That said, in general there aren't dozens of applications that are run on a single system that matter to people... and most of those that are could well be isolated in separate containers and upgraded separately. Via docker-lxc, your python apps can even use the same base container and not take as much space.. same for ruby, etc... and when you upgrade one, you don't affect the rest.

I've seen plenty of monolithic apps deployed to a single server, where in practice upgrading an underlying language/system breaks part of it.

Myself, for node development, I use NVM via my user account (which there are alternatives for perl, python, ruby) that allow me to work locally with portions of the app/testing, but deployment is via a docker container, with environment variables set to be able to run the application. It's been much smoother in practice than I'd anticipated.
I love that this article brings up The Neanderthal Parallax, a series I enjoyed reading. The author clearly had a vision for another version of humans and society, and it did indeed seem better than what we have today! Interesting that the author made some assumptions which later turned out to be true about Neanderthals (such as higher cognition).
The primary cash crop -- cotton -- required so much manual labor, prior to the invention of the cotton gin, that cotton producers, even with access to slave labor, could only really operate on a small scale.

The cotton gin changed that, making large-scale cotton production profitable and drastically increasing the demand for slaves (and thus creating an incentive to find justifications for and defenses of the practice of slavery).

So why not ask for a receipt with start and end location and total price paid?

You then file a complaint with the relevant authorities, which in turn will hit the cheating cabbie; hard.

My brother was a taxi dispatcher (granted, not in America, which seems the total hell hole when it comes to taxi service) and there where drivers trying to pull such shit on unsuspecting tourists (circling around for 250$ for a tour, which should have been 40, max) and I can guarantee you that this cabbie did not have a happy encounter after the passenger filed a complaint.
My first job burnout
I'm here and I'm not even sure... The pressrelease is so umbigious but i can ask the rep tomorrow if this is still unexplained. My guess is that piloted means it will try to steer away from dangerous situations... Furthermoore, what's so puzzeling is that Audi UX design is still so outdated.
I'm interested see how the maze is generated so that there Is a solution to it (ie, no exit point without an open way)

Not OP but you can always generate a fully random maze and then merge the unconnected blocks by simply removing a wall that can connect them
Funny how difficult this was to find:

http://www.audiusa.com/newsroom/topics/2014/piloted-driving

Audi has developed a philosophy and strategy for autonomous driving that it calls “piloted driving.” The name accurately reflects the Audi approach to this important and growing field of technology and aspect of the ownership experience: Give the Audi driver a digital “pilot” to guide the trip and assist in making it to his or her destination safely. Yet don’t usurp outright operating control of the vehicle or diminish the joy and satisfaction of driving that is a huge part of the Audi ownership experience. Making it clear exactly which entity is in control at each moment also is crucial, so Audi piloted driving emphasizes human-machine interface prompts to accomplish this. Illustrative of this approach is one automated-driving feature that Audi continues to define, called a “congestion pilot.” It relieves the driver of the task of driving while the system automatically accelerates, brakes and steers the vehicle, at speeds up to about 37 mph. Once the traffic jam disperses or the end of the highway has been reached, the driver is prompted to take back control. If the driver fails to respond, the system safely brings the car to a standstill.
What's sleazy about hiring people away from a university research job? Why does it merit the "poaching" appellation?

If making competitive bids for labor is "sleazy poaching", god help us all.

Is the problem that they hired "too many" people? Is there some maximum rate at which you're supposed to hire employees at another organization before you're the bad guy?

People here rant about the anti-competitive no-poach conspiracies, and we're supposed to compartmentalize that away while we get outraged at the exact opposite?

Sorry if I'm missing the point here; I just don't get it.

Why is something that says 'presskit' in the link upvoted?
It seems to be devoid of content and .. an ad?
It kind of is a lot of data... trying to archive internet websites whole and keeping multiple snapshots is pretty close to what google and other search engines do, only search engines need to generate distributed indexes as well as some information regarding versioning.

Not to mention, that historically speaking, you cannot trust google to keep this information preserved, or public. Look at what happened to any number of other tools google once offered. TBH, I would like to see funding via a grant from the library of congress towards archive.org.

I'm curious as to how many copies a piece of data is needed to be "safe" in such a flexible unknown as end user/volunteer storage. It's one thing for compute items that can be re-queued for work in a day or two if abandoned... it's another where every copy of a record happens to walk away. Let alone the communications protocol.. this goes way beyond most bigtable implementations.
Anyone that hand draws mazes as a hobby knows these auto-generated mazes leave something to be desired. There's an art to designing a maze and I've yet to see an auto-generator mimic that art. First step, curved and multi-length branches. Next step, add complex and very long teaser dead-ends. Block-style mazes are way too simple.
Abandoned, but large parts of this seem to be the work of Yann LeCun (https://www.facebook.com/yann.lecun/posts/10151728212367143), Facebook's director of AI research, right?

...curious if scraped parts of this project are actually living a second life deep inside Facebook's labs :)
I've thought for a while that there's a potential opportunity in paying people to sit in popular coffeeshops around business districts recording all the sound on a laptop, and then using a few audio tools to separate out individual conversations to mine for information about what businesses are doing. People are often completely unaware of the value of things that they're discussing in public.
Most maze generators build a giant tree, starting from an arbitrary point and sending out branching corridors until the area is full. By its nature everything's connected.

I certainly don't think it's thee best of all possible systems, but discussion of the subject here often overlooks economics.

Peter Hollens' work is nice, but let's be realistic: what are his expenses? A small sum for a performance license and another small sum to do the recording, a couple of thousand at most per work that he puts out. Now compare the costs of staging a theatrical work or making an independent film. It's not that that type of artwork is fundamentally better, but that the up front costs are much higher because of the resources involved. A distributed patronage model is no good here because you're dealing with a very different sort of product.

While the funding models need to evolve (and I'm optimistic about Title III equity crowdfunding becoming available alter this year), I'm quite skeptical of people coming along and saying 'movie copyrights suck, because Disney' while having very little appreciation of how the majority of films get made outside the 100 or so well-financed pictures released by Hollywood major and mini-major studios.

The ACC already does most of this (i.e. accelerate and brake, even to a stand-still if you're not driving manual ofc). It doesn't steer yet, but .. I'd guess that most traffic jams are rather straight?

The automated brake thing exists as well in todays Audis. It randomly beeps if you're driving around a corner and sometimes hits the brakes at speeds below 30km/h (in a traffic jam, for example) for no reason.

I'd trust a drunken and tired driver in a big LandRover more than any Audi technology, based on my anecdotes/my experience with three generations of A3s (currently the quattro 8V chassis/model).

You are right, it is a legal fiction, but so is everything else. It was created by congress to prop up the industry of creating more art. Most people do believe in copyright, but that doesn't mean they don't like getting something for free. I personally think copyright lengths are too long, but many things we have today would not have been created without copyrights.
They do.

The framework for how judges operate, and the framework for contract law is quite different. Judges has quite a lot of agency and mobility to make common sense decisions. Contract law on other hand must be more rigid, and is designed around making the market more stable and secure.

In a copyright infringement case, a judge would look at license text and make a decision about its meaning. The lawyers would likely try to interpret "similar in spirit" by providing defining points from previous licenses, which a judgment can be based on. How much we trust such decision thus rest on our believes that judges in general can make a reasonable judgment.
Reminds me the "goes to" operator

int x = 10;
while (x --> 0) printf("%d\n", x);

prints 9 ... 0. The operator is pronounced as "as x goes to 0"

This is what has always worked in Patrick's favour.

He shared the details of how and why the revenues of BCC grew for many years, figures which were sufficiently normal for them not to appear to be the product of luck or lies.

Similarly he's never pretended to be a proficient corporate ladder climber when writing about salary negotiations; we know his advice comes from reading about best practices and selling consulting rather than his experience of honouring his salaryman agreement. And we know he's more effective amateur than Aaron Ross when it comes to turning some inbound leads into enterprise contracts for Appointment Reminder.

And afaik he doesn't even have a $300 eBook on special offer today at only $199, or a $999 business opportunity also including six webinars totally free. But apparently many people have found his publicly accessible and gimmick-free blog to be worth their time reading.

Indiegogo: “We’re building a global community that funds what matters to them.”
The particular generation algorithm that you see is called "Randomized Prim's algorithm" on Wikipedia. It starts at a random cell in a grid, marks it as discovered, and adds all of that cell's adjacent walls to a queue. It then selects a random wall from the queue and, if the cell on the other side of the wall has not yet been discovered, opens up that wall. It adds all of the adjacent cell's walls to the queue, marks the adjacent cell as discovered, and selects the next random wall in the queue until all the cells have been discovered. It's kind of a modified BFS. This algorithm guarantees that all cells are connected.

Personally I think that 95 years is too long. I don't think it should be longer than the average person's life span. But there is evidence that happy birthday was published at least as early as 1912, so how can it still be under copyright?

There's a huge amount of copyrighted material on the Internet Archive. They can get away with it, being a library and all, but I don't think anyone like Google or Amazon would want this liability.

Plus it works the other way around too. I don't think the Internet Archive would want the Amazon liability. Amazon might delete to delete all or some of the data someday for whatever reason.

No, because it is obviously a derived work. It's extremely unlikely someone who never heard the tune "Happy Birthday" would come up with lyrics for the (non-copyrighted) melody that sound exactly like the copyrighted lyrics by sheer coincidence.

You could, however, use entirely different lyrics. But I'm pretty sure it could still be assumed to be a derived work as long as it's a birthday song.

I have the 2015 A3, with the driver assistance package (including adaptive cruise control) and use it every day. I drive ~35 miles/50 minutes each way to work, and would have the cruise on for all of the motorway driving (75% of the journey in time, 98% of the journey in distance).

And I swear by it.

I'll be doing 70mph, and come across traffic that's doing 50mph. The adaptive cruise detects this, and slows the vehicle. When traffic continues to build up, and eventually stops, so does the vehicle. When the traffic starts again, you tap the accelerator and the cruise kicks in again. It speeds up, based on the speed of the car in front, back to your set limit.

So, I've just gone from 70mph to 0mph to 70mph without touching a brake and tapping the accelerator once.

I've also been cut off, by a motorbike, and the car's technology has detected that and braked safely.

It's a bit rough on the brakes sometimes, and the acceleration could be smoother from a stand-still, but I continue to use it so that should be testament enough that it's reliable.

Be pragmatic.. use the best tool at your disposal that suits your larger environment. If the company you work for is all .Net, they bringing in a small utility app that uses Python is a pretty big risk. The same can be said for most things in a given environment.

That said, I gave node a beachhead into a number of projects, because they were web applications and it made sense to do so. Even if not running on node, having the client-side bits using node tools made sense.

It really just depends. All in all, there are at least a dozen options for any given problem, and 4 out of 5 times the closest thing to what you are already doing is likely the right answer.
sounds like it could be an attractive hobby for some. if you find the right locations you could definitely get some juicy info.
GPL gives ZyXEL the option of giving you, the customer, “a written offer, valid for at least three years” to deliver the source code (option b in section 3 of the GPL). Did you get such an offer with your router? If not, then ZyXEL cannot have chosen this option which GPL gave them, and must, in theory, either not be in compliance with the license or have given the source code with the router (option a). (Option c is only for noncommercial distribution.) If you do have such an offer, is it still valid?
I think you are putting your finger on a relevant subtlety. When we look back at those policies now we think of it s a deal, quid quo pro. I think it probably did function that way at the time too. But in terms of the philosophical argument underpinning the policy, its was based on the idea that by applying your labour you take appropriate property from the common, or you "make" property or whatnot.

This was based in ideas trying to explain what property is, why one person was rights to it and another doesn't. A wild forest is not property. A farm is. Hence labour, habitation, productive use etc. make something property. It's the kind of philosophy that gets very theological, with precise definitions and arguments between theorists that seem very arcane an pointless in retrospect.

I'm not promoting the theory. It just seemed relevant in the context of a liberal/libertarian quip. These ideas are foundational to ideas of private property, later economic freedom etc. It's part of the history of ideas related to right leaning politics today.

In practice, I'm not sue if this is workable. But if it is, I don't think an abstract sanctity of private property is necessarily a barrier. That unused property makes fro a weaker claim is justifiable by common sensibilities, right or left wing philosophy.
I think they don't see customers like that as an viable market for them. They seem to be convinced that a person that buys an Audi buys it for the fun of driving.

In reality most Audi in Germany seem to be driven by business people and consultants that need to travel a lot on the Autobahn, and i can imagine some of them wanting to have fun while spending 3+ hours a day driving, but most of them would be glad to do other stuff during that time.

But they probably did some market research, we will see if it works out for them.

"""
if you are worried that this will make Python ugly and turn it
into some sort of inferior Java, then I share you concerns, but I would
like to remind you of another potential ugliness; operator overloading.

C++, Perl and Haskell have operator overloading and it gets abused
something rotten to produce "concise" (a.k.a. line noise) code.
Python also has operator overloading and it is used sensibly, as it
should be. Why?
It's a cultural issue; readability matters.

Python is your language, please use type-hints responsibly :)
"""
I would add metaclasses, generators, etc. all these are already enough to write horrible things.
It is indeed all about "culture", readability is really the cornerstone of Python culture. Type hints when used responsibly are fantastic tool. You could be surprised but they really improve readability, it's like a succinct docstring. I discovered this while recently reading through one large codebase.
Moreover, typechecker will tell you when your "docs" do not reflect actual semantics.
Finally, I would like to point out that typing.py and Mypy are pure Python, no magic :-) At the same time "import typing" is very in the spirit of "import antigravity".
I hope Python gradual typing could become alternative to Java/C++/etc. BDSM-style typing and one day we could say: "Come join us! Typing is fun again" :-)
For me, a scripting language is used to extend a larger more inflexible software project. Like scripting in Office Suites, Blender or similar.

Python is growing in popularity, and in the majority of cases it is used as the "primary" language now. That's why "scripting" is a misnomer, even if technically CPython is not compiled to machine language.

Short variable names are fine with context. "cs : Customer list" - we know it's a list of customers from the type, no need to repeat. And a loop on it could easily be "for c in cs". Single letters are also useful in local or anonymous functions.

Reuse identifiers? Yes! If I've got a parameter foo that's a string, then I convert it into an int and never use the string again, why not rebind the identifier? It makes it clear the old foo is no longer in use, and prevents such use.
