I'm invested in the notion that somewhere between where we are now and the ideal state is possible, and that we'd be far better off reaching for it.

This I can agree with. Even if the ideal state cannot be attained, we're really far from even an approximation of it.

You're simply stating an endemic problem of which most semi-conscious people are aware. But, what's your conclusion?

I'm trying to say that democracy should not be revered as much as it is, but that more importantly people tend to be ignorant of its machinations. They completely set aside hugely important details like voting systems (such that FPTP guarantees party dichotomy as per Duverger's law), externalities, fraud, gerrymandered districts, and the idea that we should vote on people instead of policies.

The latter is ass-backwards by all measures. Vote policies and have the people fill in the demand for their execution. Instead you have a system that incentivizes deceptive and bombastic political campaigns with an extremely narrow ideological set. When you refuse to participate, you're told you can't complain. When you do participate and your candidate turns out to be a total actor, then again it's your fault for electing them, but remember, folks - democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others. Which is why the way we do democracy is absolutely infallibly correct.

It's more likely that your conception of my conception is simplistic and incorrect.

Perhaps, but your original comments were quite rude in the way you shoehorned life into a primitive idea of "voting". There's something about democracy that it has become a secular icon which shuts off people's ability to reason, and makes them refuse to improve their axioms.
Look into it. It's a nice piece of programming history. There's much to learn.

"Mockups" isn't really the right term here as far as I'm concerned – it implies high fidelity, whereas this is a tool for rapid, low-fidelity idea sketching. It looks like an excellent wireframing tool, not a mockup tool.
What's really great about this is that it is a prototyping tool that enforces low fidelity. Not having multiple colors, not getting to choose fonts is actually a major feature, because it requires all collaborators to focus on the layout and functionality before getting into the weeds.

I've got a mid-2010 (holy crap it's getting old!) MBP 13" that I've used for iOS development for a long time. It's had a bit of an upgrade (1TB drive, 8GB ram) but nothing major. You can definitely do iOS development on something like this, and it's way underpowered compared to what you're looking at.

I'm surprised* there's no mention of Objective-C's behavior when passing messages to nil. Nothing blows up; the message either returns 0 or an empty struct, depending on its return type. In actual practice this can sometimes result in weird behavior, but overall I always thought it was a very humane feature of the language.

*Well, ok, not /that/ surprised, given the year of publication, but Objective-C did at least exist at the time.
Over the course of my career I've held both the "developer and "engineer" titles in different parts of the US. While some of the differences are simply regional, I have noticed one significant difference between being called an "engineer" versus a "developer".

I've found the term to closely correlate with how the organization thinks about building software and how responsibilities and decision making around what to build are broken down.

Companies that call programmers "engineers" often employ a number of other people to determine what to build. Product Managers, Business Analysts, UX specialists, etc are more commonly filing this role, while programmers simply write the code, test it, deploy, and fix it.

Companies that call programmers "developers" usually have only limited supporting staff like Customer Support and Ops to supplement the actual programming work. Programmers are often experts in an industry (like Healthcare or Finance) and often determine what to build as well as actually building it. These responsibilities are sometimes clearly stated, but more often the decision making is going on behind the scenes.
Adding more agreement to this, grab them hard and green then store in a dark (room temp) place. 4-5 days and should be good to go
I absolutely agree that your logic is correct, for a grad student or full-time engineer.

But again, early-stage startups != normal business calculus.

Look at it this way:

You've got two buckets, one of cash and one of time. You can fulfill business goals by dipping into either or both buckets. The time bucket continually replenishes at a fixed rate but never change capacity, the money bucket may replenish unpredictably in both amount and time and have its capacity expanded (more employees, capital, whatever). If either bucket goes dry, you lose.

At an early stage, your cash bucket is near empty compared to your time bucket. If you've spec'ed your business properly (hah) and are not too unlucky (hah hah), you will never have a demand that exceeds the total available amount in the two buckets.

So, to fulfill demands, you pull from the time bucket, because it has the greater reserves, and because it'll replenish as every second tics by.

As time goes on, though, the demands outstrip what your time bucket can handle. Your time bucket, remember, never gets larger. But, since your business is growing, the cash bucket has been getting larger, and so you start to fulfill demands out of that bucket, using contractors or vendors or whatever.

Eventually, you are fulfilling demands entirely out of the cash bucket, because you simply will never have enough time to do them in the required timeline otherwise.

The same rule ("gotta fulfill my business demands without emptying my buckets") applies at both ends of a company's lifecycle, but results in entirely different behavior--and that's not bad.
There are some things that have better standardization in Windows, but for every thing they get right, there's a half dozen that are horribly, horribly wrong.

They need to start setting fire to legacy "features" and moving into the future. Windows is great because of backwards compatibility, but it's also hobbled because of it.

Unless they want to be an OS for organizations that fear change and upgrade slowly, reluctantly, then they'll need to start cutting some of that baggage loose.

So I'm a huge supporter and fan of Sunlight and Politwoops, and agree that Twitter's abrupt cutoff and non-explanation, as described, is off-putting...but I do not fault Twitter for taking this stand as a company.

1. The loss of public transparency is somewhat minimal... I mean, the reason why we are able to track politicians on Twitter in any capacity is mainly because, well, Twitter exists. This is a much different ballpark than, say, how police departments obscure their crime data by offloading it to a private piece of shit web company at taxpayer dime [1]

2. No one's stopping you or anyone from creating a daily, hourly, or even by-the-minute archive of anybody's Tweets...or even just leaving your browser open on a Twitter page for a very long time and capturing and saving the push updates. The problem to Twitter here is letting someone very publicly break their terms of service. And I doubt it's even the TOS violation that's the big issue...even though the methods of Politwoops are no secret (here's the source code [2])...the impression that the average person has, when reading a story about the latest Poltiwoop catch...is that Twitter is not only a service where you will get humiliated because of a 140-character mistake, but that as a user, your mistakes are available to the public in perpetuity. If you're thinking "Well, the average person knows that the stakes for social media account terms and conditions is inherently different for elected officials and will trust social media companies to honor that inherent truth"...then you obviously have not talked to an average person in a long time.

3. If you're convinced that the average user knows that the rules/TOS are different based on publicly elected status...well, what about other public officials? What about the city manager and their staff? How about the police chief? How about individual police officers? If you're going to say, "Well, obviously NOT police officers, because they are people, and they have families and are not high on the decision-making chain"...Another person could sanely argue that, "Well, every police officer has taxpayer-granted escalated privileges to deprive citizens of freedom and life, why shouldn't we have the right to see if they say something fucked up on Twitter?" It's not a simple debate, and we haven't even gotten to other types of public figures (i.e. celebrities and other newsmakers). You sure the average person can sift the nuance and be assured that their tweets are granted the sanctity of being a non-public figure?

4. If you're thinking, "Well, users should be made more aware of how illusionary their privacy is on social media"...I completely agree. However, I don't agree that Twitter should be compelled into letting an independent organization use Twitter's resources and break Twitter's TOS to implicitly communicate that epiphany to Twitter's own users.

Hits on a pet idea of mine:

We have a major issue with rail transportation in the US. It's most useful in cities in a grade-separated form, but it's simultaneously the hardest to build in cities in a grade-separated form. The number of existing pipelines, power lines, traffic reroutes, building permits, and private property consents required to check out grows to dizzying levels of complexity.

One way to bypass this is to dig deep, deep tunnels. Tunnels far enough down that surface settling doesn't occur, tunnels far enough down to bypass skyscraper pilings. To do this well, though, you need to construct as much of each station as possible in the tube itself, and only sink shafts down to that level, not whole horizontal rooms.

You can do that with a ~20m diameter TBM. You buy this monster of a machine for an exorbitant amount of money, and in exchange you get to leave the walls that it constructs in place, except for some vertical elevators and a vertical stairwell directly to the platform; No blasting, no extensive bit-by-bit excavation, no surface trenches, no access tunnels, no adjusting to separate mud and soil and rock. Just two tracks in a big tube with a bunch of space in between them, and maybe a second level for another pair with an express line.
Whats interesting is if you look at the graph on that page... its as if all the languages are losing popularity (all have somewhat of a downward trajectory). One could argue that all that loss has gone into other not-index languages...
Oh, sure - BILLIONS for "foreign hacker threats" that probably don't matter much, but NOTHING to track down "Anne from Cardholder Services".

That's my takeaway. The US executive branch is letting the NSA and FBI, spy on its own citizens, but doesn't do anything that would practically reduce real problems.
"For years the AAA argument for pushing the tech envelope has been that the bigger, better looking, better sounding, more detailed our worlds are, the more believable they are. But is this true?"

It is for me! I've enjoyed Far Cry more than the barren speed-oriented environments of Quake III or Unreal (I know, I know, this one never aimed to be "real", but it's a good example in anti-thesis).
Now seriously, when I read this:

"In politics-heavy environments, there is nothing more effective in pursuing a personal agenda than using "facts" and numbers - even when those facts and numbers are hand-picked to support a certain story."

I can not help but think of the cherry-picking that the current article I'm reading does.

I think you might be surprised with how easy it is to use the basic functions of OpenCV. Just get started, poke around with it, and you'll start getting more familiar with it and able to understand the more advanced stuff.

Also, the documentation has a lot of tutorials available. It's pretty good.
So no info what it looks like and to be put on a waitlist you have to link it to your twitter account? From the description, it could be something interesting, but that's asking a bit much.
Sorry to point this out, but what you just said is 100% ridiculous.

>There are many kinds of injuries (not just puncture or spinal injuries) that get much worse if treated by someone with no medical experience.

So? Just leave the guy to die under the bus?

>The article said his leg was crushed but lifting the bus "looked like the most reasonable action to take".

The article is reporting second hand information from eyewitnesses. Basing your analysis on that is to put it bluntly - stupid.

>One of the possible consequences of a suddenly released crush injury is kidney failure caused by crush syndrome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crush_syndrome

So what? You keep stating these as-if they are revelations. People already have a good understanding that injuries can have unanticipated complications.

>Like all of the people involved in this story, I'm not a medical expert,

How do you know that nobody there was a medical expert? They did not interview 100 people. Nor did they do a survey of all the people around the accident.

>However, I think it would be responsible journalism to ask a medical doctor whether the crowd did the right thing before hailing them as heroes and encouraging others to do the same.

The word hero was not in the article. In any case, they ARE heroes because they risked their own safety to help another human being.

Songkick is one of those services where I feel that it's a fair deal surrendering my data (listening habits) because I get a service in return that's really valuable to me. When I tried it out the first time I was surprised at how good recommendations I got for my geographical vicinity (Sweden/Denmark), as many services - naturally - focus on the US only. Three cheers from me to SK.
By "primary system", I meant the initial system(s) interacted with in a distributed environment. Assuming a connection based distributed model (e.g. TCP/IP), there is a system on the other end of the connection to which a client is communicating. Even for connectionless models, in my mind the "primary system" would be defined as the set of systems which could possibly respond to a client's request.

Perhaps the term "primary" is not the best fit for this role. It just seemed less verbose than saying something like "the set of systems for which a client is directly aware and may interact with."
Regardless, requiring signing for firmware goes against open hardware.

And large companies like Facebook do redesign servers. I don't know if they specifically use new hard drive firmware, but I wouldn't be surprised.

For stuff like routers and mp3 players, I've replaced firmware.
There are many times and places where people would have killed you for saying that.

This gets back to context. You interpret things in such a fashion, but many people are horrified by the morality presented in the Bible. “Suffer not a _ to live.” Really that’s just such an uplifting message.

Granted, ignore the inconvenient parts is a very common approach, but if you’re doing that then just be honest about it. Ex: Timothy 2:12 is just not quoted that much anymore, but it used to be tossed around quite frequently.

If it saves a step during assembly and makes the final product more reliable, it'd make business sense to do it.

Very few people upgrade their machines after buying them, it's a small percentage of their user base that ever bothers to. The inconvenience there is worth the trade-off: Any Mini coming in for service is using factory memory, no questions, past this point.

It's was always a nice to have, but it's not exactly a deal-breaker now, their prices aren't anywhere as crazy as server vendors can be. It just means you need to build-to-order a machine as they rarely stock the upgraded models.
Liquidity has to flow somwhere and in the instant case its likely to treasuries if other bond classes crash. As destabilizing as that would be for holders of the distressed bonds, and for borrowers who need to raise capital, its arguably very stabilizing for treasuries and offers the Fed its long-term exit from unprecedented balance sheet inflation. Treasury holders will be paying the cost for the Fed to retire debt as I see it.

I don't help strangers in distress. I've never been in such a situation, but if I ever was I won't. The best I'll do is to call emergency for them, or try to make other people aware of it.

I'm concerned primarily (by order of importance):

- My personal safety. (if it's an armed theft or fight)

- Being accused of wrongdoing after an unfair or incomplete investigation.

- Not having the right medical skills to help them, and instead worsen their situation.

Unfortunately, I can't think of another way (other than calling emergency) to help them. I'd appreciate if someone would help me in such a situation, though. Which feels quite greedy (and I think it is).
I understand that, but do any of the touch events fire in parallel? Like, just before the pinch happens, is there not a touch start even for when the fingers touch the screen? The idea is to change the rate of the normal scroll event only if there are fingers on the screen.
