Sourceforge was great until Dice.com bought them. Things seem to have gone downhill faster once https://www.linkedin.com/in/gkuchhal took over.
On road networks (Google Maps style routing) much much bigger gains have been achieved. Taking things to an extreme, Hub Labelling achieves sub-microsecond query times on continental-scale road networks [1]. More flexible algorithms (e.g. Multi-Layer Dijkstra aka Customizable Route Planning, which Bing Maps supposedly uses) achieve sub-millisecond query times, with preprocessing times for new metrics less than a few minutes. This allows full timely integration of traffic information etc.

On a 2D grid, there are a few differences, but even modeling it as a graph and applying road network algorithms (even simple ones like Landmark Routing) sounds like it would yield similar, if not better speedups.

Depends what you mean by "word". "Man's" is not the headword you'll find in a dictionary, but it would be separated by a space in a sentence. I think this latter case is what matters here. "Man' s" doesn't make sense.

I don't see why it's on the CDDL to fix. CDDL is a file based source license, the resulting binaries can be freely linked against binaries with different licenses. Section 3.6 explicitly says so!

The primary difference between MPL 1.1 and CDDL 1.0 with MPL 2.0 is that sections 1.7 and 3.3 of MPLv2 explicitly bow to GPL, a concession made by Mozilla to attempt to end this nonsense. Section 3.7 of MPL 1.0 and 1.1 (3.6 of CDDL) are clauses that imply GPL compatibility, without explicitly naming GPL. That wasn't good enough for the FSF, thus, MPLv2.

MPL was chosen as a template for CDDL because sections 3.7 (CDDL 3.6) gives it a quality like BSD, that the binaries can be larger works with different license terms while the rest of the license retains the copyleft qualities of the source code. Thus, CDDL would have "all the advantages of BSD, all the advantages of GPL".

Any supposed incompatibility is in the legal opinion of the FSF, who never stated their reasons, only the final conclusion, preventing healthy discussion on the matter.

Since the FSF and GNU identify all versions of MPL and CDDL to be "free" and "copyleft", why is the burden on CDDL or MPL? The FSF could have solved this by explicitly naming MPL/CDDL in GPLv3 (as they did with AGPL).
I'm writing Learning Akka for Packt Publishing using org mode w/ pandoc to convert it for the editors to work with. Org mode supports most anything - code, images etc.

Once the editors put it into packt format, then I'll continue editing myself. It's working well for me.
I don't disagree on the quality of these manuals (see my other comment), but for a beginner, The Art of Electronics is a very bad choice.

TAE is great if you've gone through university-level courses, understood (or at least was able to reproduce) the math but can't grok transistors without diagrams and formulae and know next to nothing about design principles.

For someone with no prior exposure, it's a terrible book. It explains very little about why things are the way they are.

Rules of thumb are great when you know what's behind them. When you don't, it's a shaky bridge to walk on.
If it takes 1-3 days per floor (let's presume this building was built in London and it only took one day per floor) would it not take 57-days then? or do they wait till the building is built and do it all at once?

In Los Angeles you build a floor, it has to be inspected one floor at a time. Then again, London does not have earthquakes but both Shanghai and California do.
It's funny that many people don't distinguish between language and standard (or default) libraries.
The next line is even worse - suggesting that rotational job placements are some funky new initiative from Google and Facebook and not something that big, boring public companies have done for a very long time, traditionally with the intention to finding out which department a talented graduate best fits with the idea of retaining them for the next few years. Though "work in our shiny new offices for three months and we'll give you lunch and a reference"-type graduate non-jobs seem to be much more widely advertised than they were back when I was actually looking for graduate roles...

Is the recent growth in contractors in the US really a byproduct of disruption via software, or is it a result of disruption by economic crisis convincing firms it's a good idea to keep some functions off the payroll until the economy picks up? I'd say the latter played a bigger role.

I mean, like the author I'm involved in a startup that's trying to build an infrastructure for self-employed professionals who would otherwise be employees of big companies, but you can take talking your book too far.
>Be honest - your actual complaint is that reducing inequality sucks when you are at the top of the heap.

While we're being honest, if you're working for a living rather than living off investments (i.e. the labor of others) you are nowhere near to the top of the heap.

If you're living off the labor of others, opening the immigration floodgates is great news. More workers to play off against one another. H1-Bs are even better news.

Why is it "much more likely"? There are plenty of very plausible scenarios in which Snowden docs could be the source.

He could have done a worse job encrypting them than he thought he did.

He could have purposely handed it over:

for revenge because the US is trying to hunt him down;

because Russia threatened to hand him back to the US;

because Russia tortured him for the keys;

etc.

Skepticism of science is healthy.

Prior to 1987, temperature recordings were not taken at the same time of day. Any time someone cites historical temperature data, they are referring to adjusted temperatures. This is what happened when NASA and NOAA made changes to those adjustments in 1998:

An older, existing rule regulates in what way you can increase the rent for existing tenants based on the rent they currently pay. (You mostly cannot unless you modernize the building.)

This new rule states that you cannot set the rent above 10% of the local market average for any tenant.

So for existing tenants, most likely the first rule applies (because new tenants rise the average), for new tenants the second applies.

> The company reportedly said in messages to its drivers that it will use GPS coordinates to determine if drivers are attending the protests, which have been sparked by the rise of illegal competition for taxi drivers. Uber's harsh stance, the company says, is designed to "maintain social order."

It feels like Uber is ultimately less about rides and more about tracking and control.

That's a terrible escape hatch, because it's brittle and very much dependent on the runtime. A new runtime version can break your code and crash your process. It's mostly intended (as is Java's unsafe) to manually manage off-heap memory -- not to hack around language semantics.
I was under the impression that they thought the lander would be blown off the comet when it starts to shed ice and debris in large amounts around perihelion.
That is true when a German or Romanian worker makes a product that is sold in the US. It is not true when, for example, a Chinese* worker (who works 14 hours a day 6 days a week, eats in the company mess hall, and lives in a company dorm) makes a product that is sold in the US.

The Chinese government doesn't protect these workers against overtime and similar abuses, so these workers receive very little for their labor. Through its economic policies, the Chinese government effectively sequesters most of these workers income. Today China has foreign exchange reserves of over $4 trillion. That's over 35% of its nominal GDP today. It's double China's nominal GDP in 2004.

The net result is that these workers have tiny participation as consumers in the Chinese economy. But they participate as full (actually like 2x full) workers in the US economy. The same dynamic is present in many other countries, so you get 2-3 billion people competing for jobs in an economy of 320 million.

* China is just an example here. Nothing personal against China or Chinese in general.

re live data. Processing that much live data without changes breaking the whole thing is a Hard problem. Very impressive work on their part. I'll give them that.

re storage platform. I'd have to look into it to Haystack or F4 to see if they were truly unique or incremental improvements on existing stuff. Cold Storage, though, I *did read up on. The work and decisions that went into that were brilliant. Every little detail and optimization they could. Plus, although minor precedents existed, I don't think I saw anyone else thinking or working in the direction they worked. Truly innovative.

re datacenter. I count most of that as more incremental. I've looked at their publications on their architecture. They might strip unnecessary stuff out of a blade, put in a RAM sled for a cache, use a simpler protocol than TCP/IP for internal comms, and so on. The kind of stuff everyone in whole datacenter (and supercomputer) industry does. Most of it is obvious & has plenty precedent. Now, if you know a few specific tech they used that were extremely clever (little to no precedent) please share. Example would be whoever started installing servers into shipping containers for mass production then easy installation... that was brilliant stuff. Was either Facebook or Microsoft.

So, you've given two good examples of Hard problems Facebook solved. Brilliant thinking went into solving them. No doubt a company working some miracles on a regular basis.

"“The rent ceiling is very important for Berlin because the difference between the rent paid in existing contracts and new contracts is so high,” said Reiner Wild, managing director of the Berlin Tenants’ Association. “The other problem is that we have 40,000 more inhabitants per year. Because of this situation the housing market is very strong.”"

The incentive to build new rental housing will evaporate, and people who move there will not be able to find apartments. The problem isn't that your rents are increasing too quickly, the problem is that your economy is unbalanced and you're creating housing demand faster than you can provide it. Correct response? Either increase the number of new apartments being built or slow or stop the number of companies that are allowed to locate in Berlin.

This has happened before, will happen again. So take a moment and look at the environment around Berlin for housing now, and wait 10 years. Then look again and ask yourself is housing better or worse in this city?
So that was what the classroom networks in highschool were. The PCs had cards with the two RJ11 connectors and I remember the terminators that the troublemakers would loosen.

For me the take away is that non-trivial independent replication of results still stands as the gold standard for experimentation. P-hacking shows up clearly when the experiment is replicated. P-values in my experience are only a starting point for further experiments.

Take the cold-fusion debacle. When independent groups attempted to replicate the results they were unable to do so.

Of course the other big take away is that people really don't understand statistics at a basic level, even the "scientific reporters".
Not only could it be a cover up campaign to divert attention from recent unrelated leaks, it is more likely to be preparing the British public to accept new laws to increase surveillance - the so called Snoopers Charter.
I agree with you that the lack of generics is a weakness of Go. Even Rob Pike agrees [1]. But some of your arguments are just plain wrong:

- `go generate` was never designed as a way to bring generics to Go.

- Most Go programmers are not "ignorant of basic functional programming". They use FP in other languages, and even in Go which has first-class functions, higher-order functions and closures. But it's true that the lack of generics severely limits the usage of FP techniques in Go.

- Go partisans don't "recommend" to stuff everything in interface{} and use "blind" type assertions everywhere. They even recommend the contrary. Give me a link to the Go official documentation that recommends that and I'll revisit my position.

To be clear, just like you, I sometimes miss generics in Go, especially when I'd like to use some FP techniques. But for me, it's just an inconvenience. It sounds like for you it's a showstopper and I understand that. But I don't think that using words like "junk", "stupid" or "dumb" helps in making your point.

I hope, and I'm confident, that the Go team will find a way to add some form or type parametricity that fits well with the overall language.

Arcnet was my first network at home. Bought four cards and a passive hub for $50 from a friends father's company upgrading to ethernet. We used it for playing Doom and Duke Nukem in my basement.

Then we upgraded to 10base2 once the cards came down in price. Then finally the 4 port 10baseT hubs with a 10base2 uplink dropped in price. We had a 10 player game of Duke Nukem one night in my basement.

But up until now I have never seen a 10base5 network.

Philae is a tiny little 100kg add on … 29 times heavier Rosetta (the orbiter) is the main course, Philae is this tiny little and quite experimental (though admittedly extremely cool – mostly because of exactly its novel mission) little hitchhiker.

RTGs are heavy and consequently have pretty much only been used on much heavier spacecraft and even then mostly only when being solar powered just wasn’t an option. For Philae, besides it being very lightweight, being solar powered was and is an option and the only reason it didn’t work out is because things went wrong during the landing …

How in the hell do you even get the idea that Nasa would have used an RTG in ESA’s place here?! They are not psychic. They couldn’t have predicted things going wrong during the landing … and why then put an RTG on this when that’s something Nasa themselves does only very, very rarely and only for very different missions with much more demanding payloads?!

What is this insanity? Why the need to get onto this political pulpit and spew out some unrelated political propaganda because you feel like what? What’s the point of this deliberate and pointless provocation?! Huh? I’m confused and angry at this abundance of irrationality.

Online dating was fun, especially if you use a little D.R.Y. and keep a text file of all the things you would say over and over again. It becomes very easy to 'mail merge' the best response to the ad you are looking at while still sounding original.

Fun times, it was great to meet all sorts of women every week. I am still friends with a 5 of them today. For me, the internet enabled me to meet 100x more women that I would find interesting than otherwise.
I'm sorry, but doesn't this completely ignore the fact that the state has not sanctioned partnerships between same-sex couples and codified that relationship universally? And where those partnerships are sanctioned, it has only happened recently?

And doesn't this ignore that a partnership lasting ten years between adults intrinsically has more gravitas than the 'boyfriend' moniker implies?

I don't make my living writing, but I can easily think of a word that better represents that relationship. Someone who professes to be a professional writer, but can't do that either shouldn't be writing, or has an underlying agenda they are trying to fulfill by using what is obviously the wrong word for what is being described.
