That's what I was thinking of too; glad you mentioned it. jonesforth consists of 2 files: an assembly language file which implements the minimal commands to be able to load the rest of the language (in forth) from the second file. It is written in literate programming style so that the comments are the documentation which teaches you all about it.

Since then I've often daydreamed about implementing a forth OS on something like the Raspberry Pi (just another project I might not get around to). I'm looking forward to reading the linked article as well.

Sure, but there is some hypocrisy going on. They were created "to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and wildlife therein, and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."

I think the jumpers are not impairing them for future generations, but some others are.

More than 60 people have died on Half Dome and very few of them are BASE jumpers. The cable path up there doesn't seem to "maximise preservation".

This is not discussing the entire internet, but trends among specific services designed make it far easier to add your personal data than remove it.

And arguably, your comment is not objectively true, but only tends to be true. There's no technical reason why data (even personal data) can't disappear from the internet - one only need look at the recent worries about the state of repos on Google Code to see that, until there's some overriding interest in backing something up, it doesn't necessarily get backed up.

The end-goal of terrorism is the psychological impact, not killing a few people more or less. And there's just something about airplanes that creates a larger psychological impact when they're hit. Maybe it's the thought of being stuck in one, helpless and with no way out. Or maybe they symbolize progress and freedom, making traveling the world so easy. Whatever it is, that's what the terrorist attacking airplanes are going for.

Going through the code I found it interesting that there's a conditional in there that compares the inmate occupation to nearly half a dozen county positions (SHERIFF, JUDGE, PROSECUTOR, FIREMAN, etc.,), if the occupation matches any of those, then the script refuses to show the mugshot of the inmate. I wonder about the legality of that. You or I get arrested (not convicted, just arrested), our mugshots are posted for everyone to see. Doesn't seem fair.
That actually sounds like the beginnings of an argument for why it makes sense to officially ban BASE jumping, but to not enforce it very strongly especially when it's done in remote areas.

> Grade school teachers aren't expected to be specialists in the field they teach. They're expected to be specialists in teaching.

Yeah, and this breaks down pretty fast, particularly when it comes to teaching the stuff you can't easily hand wave, e.g. science. Even at the middle/high school level, where teachers are supposed to have studied topic they teach at the undergraduate level in some capacity, you find plenty of foreign language teachers who are terrible speakers of the language they teach, or math teachers who basically have the same level of math as their students, with the distinction that they have access to the answers for the exercises they give. I spent some time in a US state university for grad school, and the level of some students who majored in education and later went on to teach was abysmal. It's hard to tell if the hegemony of standardized testing is the root or a symptom of the problem, but the overall picture is bleak.

This is precisely why if we want a great education system, we need to incentivize people who are practicing professionals first to then go teach. My best teachers in high school all shared those traits: a historian who had spent many years doing field research teaching history/geography, a geologist who was also a researcher for a major lab teaching natural sciences, etc.

Not everyone is made for teaching, but we as a society need to become much better at encouraging and enabling the people who enjoy it to teach in parallel to their professional activity (I would happily teach math from 8-10am before my day job 2-3 days a week if there was the structure for it.).

The people who want to become teachers just because they like kids but don't have any deep knowledge/understanding of any particular subject can teach kindergarten.
I still believe. Someday, somewhere, something incredible will emerge for the right-brained bourgeoisie and literati.

I don't see it ever happening: because the bar of expectations rises at the same rate at which the tools improve.

For example, think about what the NYTimes website looked like in February 2000:

http://web.archive.org/web/19990202013312/http://www3.nytimes.com/

That probably took millions of dollars and a team of engineers back in the 2000. In 2015, a reasonably computer-literate person could do something close to that with SquareSpace or Wordpress.com in probably.... a week?[1]

But that site would never pass muster in 2015. Something 10x (if not 100x) more complex is required for NYTimes.com in 2015, plus various native apps, plus a subscription service, and so forth. So you still need a team of engineers...

Music in itself, probably.

But the "mainstreamity" (connecting a society and being a central cultural focus) is also a desirable attribute from music (from art in general), that is lacking today.

That is, there's music that's great but not mainstream and music that's mainstream but not great. The sixties and seventies (up to the nineties maybe) had both.

Modern good music has lost that, and everyone listens to good or even excellent music oblivious on his own little world and niche.

(Oh, and I'm not waxing because I'm some Beatles-loving older guy -- I'm much younger and in fact I listen to tons of new music most people wouldn't even touch, from Nobukazu Takemura to Mount Erie, Four Tet, etc.).

For me it's like great modern music is like some excellent Social Media site, with tons of features, great layout, speedy backends, nice UI et al, but where there are very few people using it. Yeah, in itself it might be a great web app, but where's the conversation and the social aspect?

anecdote

In 1991, I was in 5th grade, I saw the first computer enter the classroom in my primary school. It wasn't used but for some remedial mathematics training for a students or two and I believe the teacher did a computer course with it.

In 2010 I became a high school computer science teacher. There were three computer rooms (about 30 computers each) for the whole school (of about 1500 students) running windows XP + IE 6. Besides my class, the computer rooms were mostly used for making reports and "searching for information". Some departments did have specialized software installed (most of which came with the text books), but used it sparingly at best. On top of that, these software was mostly simple, inflexible, mostly non-interactive, non-collaborative, and "pre-fab" instructional materials. Often this software was not much more than a "digitized" version of parts of the text book with some animations, games, and procedural trainers mixed in.

I really like Discourse. But having looked into it quite seriously, it has a lot of gotchas, drawbacks, and limitations. The interface is very nice, but the feature set isn't as "mature" as other older forum software. It seems like if you're using it exactly the way they use it on the official demo/Discoure site, then you're good, if you need to use it in any other way then tough luck.

PHPBB is fine if you skin it well. Plus PHPBB's system requirements are extremely easy to meet (PHP and MySQL). Discourse requires a more niche tech' stack and requires a much more powerful machine to run. Good luck running it on a $10/month VM.
I think you're misunderstanding - they went after someone who didn't even attempt the described project, and showed no intent of ever doing so. There's a big difference between an outright scam and someone trying but not really knowing what they're doing.

Sounds like a case where externalities are screwing with the decisions. If rescue costs are high but borne by the public then the jumpers are basically abusing it. But of course outlawing the activity doesn't actually stop it.

It's a lot like illegal drugs. It's a fun activity that's bad for the participants and exposes external costs on society. Seems like the standard solution of "legalize, tax, and regulate" would also apply here. Rather than simply ban these activities, maybe they should be made to bear the costs of rescue, either by putting liability on to them after the fact, or charging a fee up front.

This is supposed to be an introduction just to the abstract concept of code, yet it includes a section that asks the reader to take a test on whether or not they agree with the author on the effectiveness of domain-specific snippets of JavaScript (http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-paul-ford-what-is-cod...) - one that replies to your selections with obtuse references to the code's use of promises and callbacks.

For those with subject-matter expertise in probiotics: Is buying probiotic supplements a waste of time and money, and, if not, what are the strains one should be looking to purchase?

I was confused because your comment seemed to support and not support my statement. But I disagree with your statement of:

> The publisher won't want those users on their site anyway if they can't be monitized.

Remember if those users with ad block find it a bad experience and never come back, this means less times they click on links to that site which means less referrals to use as ranking in search engines. If it's a large enough group (hell even a small group in a highly competitive area) can make a difference causing the site to lose readers due to search rankings.
That's fine. Just do it where it's legal.
Christmas is exactly the right time to roll out a product that has nothing to recommend it besides novelty and a ton of buzz. That's when all the people who know nothing about what they're buying go shopping!

Pushing it to Q4 2016 will give them time to develop some good apps for it, but it will also give competitors like Valve and Sony a year to build up an installed base. And "pay X hundred dollars for this novelty gizmo" is a much harder sell when the customers already paid X hundred dollars for a similar gizmo the year before.
I'll agree, it's very human and natural for people to deliberately misunderstand things so they can work themselves into a rage over things. It's intellectually dishonest, particularly in this case, and so I give it no shrift.

If all you have to make your case is rhetorical tricks (like "look! somewhere in this man's million plus words he talked about Africans being slaves! Slavery is therefore a specific kind of racist in all conversations") then I work from the premise that there isn't much of a case to be made.

Part of the team is in MPK. We will happy to have a chat about static analysis once you join us this summer
> If you want to make static analysis part of the everyday development process [...]

Just to nitpick, I think your use of the term "static analysis" is a bit too broad. Every (or almost every) production compiler or JIT does static analysis intraprocedurally, that is, confined within a function / method / procedure. On the other hand, whole program / interprocedural static analysis quickly gets very expensive, usually because an alias / pointer analysis is involved, and that's what you need for null pointer checks and stuff.

So I guess my point is, there is plenty of static analysis going on all the time, just not expensive whole program bug-finding analysis. Cheap bug-finding static analysis stuff is common, for example in GCC all those warning options to catch undefined behavior.
