"Nevertheless, I think progress does not necessarily imply a value judgement, especially in humanities."

"So, I disagree with you: one can have an opinion on whether a composer in 2015 is greater than Bach or Mozart, which depends on one's values."

You've contradicted yourself.

People may class their views or the views of others as 'progressive', but what does this really mean? Generally it means they have freed themselves of some of the dogma that is prevalent at the time. Progress in the arts then depends on clarity of thought. The time in which you were born does not guarantee that clarity, it depends on luck, being born at the right time for a particular disposition.

Technological progress is all fine and dandy, but there's an important distinction to make... Is the progress bring made in the name of humanity or in the name of technology? If new technology supports a more fulfilling lifestyle then great, but if progress is just being made to broaden the reach of technology, regardless of its impact on life here and elsewhere, then what's the point? I would argue that's the limit, when technology stops serving us then we should stop pushing for it to grow.

Exactly, so it can be used in any software that supports opentype format.
I disagree, mostly based on reality.

When I go out in a car I take my life and my families' lives in my hands. I live in Philadelphia in the U.S.. When I go driving, I constantly dodge other cars making a left hand turn from the right hand lane, city buses that consider red lights "suggestions," cars that slam on their brakes for a parking spot, cars driven by lost tourists paying attention to anything but the road in front of them...

The best thing my father ever taught me when I was learning to drive is "you don't drive for just yourself, you have to drive for everyone on the road, because they can't be trusted to do it themselves."

Philadelphia is notoriously hostile to bikers. It seems to me most people don't know that, at least here, bikes have to obey the same laws as cars - ride on the road (not the sidewalk), stop for red lights, etc. Even bikers seem confused about road laws (or flagrantly ignore them).

I'm all for bike lanes, new driver education, and whatever makes everyone safer. But self-driving cars aren't an indictment of our laziness, but rather our inability to drive safely all of the time. Making noise about how biker safety is everyone's responsibility is ideal, but the reality is a far different story. So if Volvo's contribution here to personal responsibility for safety helps a few people live longer, then bravo. It's available now, ubiquitous self-driving cars are not.

That's the reality of the situation. Stay safe.
This is the point you were trying to make and I completely agree with you.
It is good to have a canonical version, but the canonical version and the root version may be entirely different. The author brought up this point, talking about a project that he had started, which was later forked. That fork has many more features, and should be considered the canonical version, but isn't.
You should clarify your comment then.
Thank you. I had no idea why this was showing up so high, but I was fairly sure it had something to do with outrage over something.
I noticed this behavior in early versions of the Windows 20xx family, but I found a consistency to it that wasn't mentioned in the article and now I'm left wondering if I was completely wrong in my assumption.

In my case any USB version 2 device would be detected as "new" if it was plugged into any port other than the one it was first plugged into, however, all of my version 1 devices would work without Windows "forgetting about them" when they were plugged into another port.

Does anyone have any insight on this? Did manufacturers supply a serial number more consistently with early version devices or was it just my (somewhat massive) collection of those devices that was at fault?
Upvoted. No, the confederate flag probably should not be banned from being used in any context in media, ever. But while apples decision was wrong (IMO), it's also in bad taste for a competitor to promote material containing the flag solely as a PR stunt.
it shifts the blame for the continued stream of fatalities onto the cyclist

If Lifepaint wouldn't have helped stop an accident then suggesting you should have been using it is ridiculous - but conversely, if it (or an equivalent product) would have stopped an accident, and you chose not to use it, then you are culpable to some extent. If I drive my car down the road at night with my lights switched off then it's my fault if someone hits me. Why wouldn't that be true for cyclists?
Thanks Catso. I did not see this correction. It's in grey and at the bottom of the article, which is a bit silly.
How are they using the situation for PR purpose? All they did was posting that Steam put their game on the front page, which any sane game developer would do.
The list is based on a publicly available list that was released by Homeland of National security in 2013, so the focus is on US list, with that being said it shouldn't be taken to literate since by recent reports NSA and GCHQ have identified more than 40.000 triggers. Project "Seen" wants to stimulate a conversation on this topic opposed to being an actual tool.
Seems like a great idea. However, not sure how much money would help in this situation.
this straw man argument against confederate flags doesn't deserve any further discussions.
Puritanism never dies. It only gets sillier.
Not at all. Steam is showing off the fact that it isn't led by vapid idiots.

It's important for gestures like this to happen to fight against the growing threat of 'social justice' fueled censorship. There's a big difference between not selling to people who want to wave the battle flag to trying to erase every depiction regardless of context. Standing up against such foolishness is important.
Probably more use to street artists than cyclists.
Sorry for misunderstanding. As someone who grew up in the South, I have grown to hear the phrase "a racist flag" as one of those trigger phrases that is politically loaded. I now realize your point is about being in questionable taste when using it as a PR stunt.
What would you call the move by Apple?
If you want to hear a good English dub check out AnimEigo's dub's of You're Under Arrest OVA or Oh My Goddess OVA. They are both crazy good. AnimEigo lost the distribution license so you'd have to hunt a little for an old copy, but it's worth it.

Edit: looks like I'm mistaken about the You're Under Arrest distribution license [1]

I use both. R is slow as a dog, Q/KDB+ is (almost) as quick as C. R is ugly, Q/K is beautiful and elegant. R has a wealth of open-source packages, Q not so much.

Best solution is to do most of your work in Q and call into R when you want to use a package. The R integration works well, see http://code.kx.com/wiki/Cookbook/IntegratingWithR.

The reality is that if you are using (and paying for) Q/K, you are likely doing so because you're dealing with billion+ point datasets. At least. R just melts and falls apart at that kind of size (without using native code, which isn't really R then is it?). So I often end up just translating R functions into K equivalent, and just using R for the nice-to-have features like latex/brew/ggplot/etc.
Yeah, I must admit that pretty much all cyclists and pedestrians alike have no idea about what's happening in their surrounding. But as a cyclist who's always aware (which is natural once you neared death enough times) I must say that oftentime there is absolutely no care about cyclist (or even pedestrians really) and you really have to freestyle it in the streets.

What do you do, cycle on a road where cars drive insanely fast and pay absolutely no attention to you, cycle on the busy sidewalk where you slalom between elders and kids that have absolutely no idea you're coming behind them, or cycle on the tramway tracks? The safest option for you and others is the most illegal one, and the most dangerous option is the one you're enforced to use.
The fact that one might allude to cancelling one bit of racism with another doesn't make it not racism. (I'm defining "racism" as "discrimination based on race", not "any cause for a statistical disparity" as some other people do.)

I must say that I do prefer the Indian system to the US system, however. It's at least explicit and can be debated on merits. The purveyors of the US system are secretive so as to prevent opponents from gathering facts to argue against it.
Neural reconfiguration generated by extended anything is probably real. This is the point of practicing or training.
I don't know if it's a regional thing or what, but the idiom is usually "color me interested" rather than "paint me interested." Maybe you care, maybe you don't. I've just never seen "paint me interested" like that and thought it was curious.
> I fall squarely in the camp that says they are just not suitable vehicles to share the road with other occupants

Here's the converse:

* Bicycles the cause of essentially 0% of road deaths.

* Motorized vehicles are the cause of essentially 100% of road deaths.

It's not the bikes that are unsafe.
Yes along with USB network adapters (you lose whatever settings you set). Just a pain and not what anyone would actually want.

Or, the other way around, for x86_64 in mobile devices.

Now they already can, technically (via fat binaries, they've already been through multiple architectural transitions), the interesting part is they could now go through these transitions without developers having to be involved.
I think your understood me wrong - if you hit a car with a car in city, there's a small chance anyone will get seriously hurt, but if you hit a bike with a car, you can kill someone and it doesn't matter if it's your fault or not, it sucks anyway and you can get into serious trouble. So even thought motor users do more stupid shit, the chance someone will get hurt is much smaller, therefore cyclists should be much more careful when driving on roads, but from my experience it's the exact opposite, and it's scary.
I don't see this as Valve using the confederate flag for PR purposes. Valve is saying "hey look, we're not swept up in this flavor of the week hysteria over the confederate flag, especially in the context of a historical game." I'm really glad they did this. Art is under assault by well meaning idiots who want to remove anything that challenges them or their preconceived notions. I'm glad Valve is backing up the developers who fill Steam with content, not leaving them hanging out to dry. If I ever want to publish art that is even a little bit controversial, I (and anyone else who's following this) know where to go.
You say that as if his company would just allow him to use software he purchased himself...
Of course "Nazi" being anyone who doesn't go along with your bullshit.
The solution is certainly not to tell everyone else to just watch out because you can't see shit left and right and man is this thing large and heavy.

The compromise is technology to make things as safe as possible.
A simple way to do that in Elixir / Erlang is to just have each node spawn 20 processes that fetch work from redis (or a central coordinating process on another node)
> implicitly backing a racist flag

I don't see how Valve backs the racist flag. They back the game, specifically because it has been banned by Apple. But I don't see any sentiment toward specifically agreeing with the flag and all its meaning.
So, I'm not american, but I visited that page, and from the comments here I was expecting to see a confederate flag. Instead I see an old C90 style audio cassette?

Also, my grasp of American history isn't great, but the south lost this war right? And this particular battle at Gettysburg. And the Gettysburg address is fairly famous.

So, if not for the context of this being posted and then other comments here, I would assume this was a total non-event. Am I missing something? What's the supposed link between this and recent happenings with Apple store regulations and racist symbolism in the US?

edit: answering my own question, this particular cross-platform game got removed from the Apple app store as they were unwilling to edit it to remove the confederate flag from the game believing they shouldn't fall under the content ban as it was only used in historical context. It's not clear to me if it's presence is anything but a coincidence as it seems to be a well regarded game anyway.
Authoring JSON in Excel does not sound like a productivity booster. That's painful and defeats the purpose of using Excel because of its familiarity.
Yes.

It's in the app templates you should start with in the SDK, and, as kpgx points out on this thread, you can use the Support Libraries for back-compatibility.

> it's useless to define a var inside a loop

No, `for` loops have nothing to do with JavaScript scope. What you probably ran into was a situation like this:

for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
do blah;
}

for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
do more blah;
}

In this case, as a stylistic preference, JSLint will suggest you remove the second var, or you can also declare it at the top of the scope and then omit the var declarations in the `for` loops anyway.

And yes, strictly speaking, the latter option is the most performance-oriented, although most JS interpreters optimize for this not anyway such that it makes no difference.

But this JSLint suggestion really has nothing to do with the `for` loop, this situation would have the same effect:

var i = 0;
i++;
use(i);

var i = 0;
i++;
use(i);

`for` loops have no impact on scope, which is mostly functional, with some prototypical complexities thrown in for good measure.

I'm pretty sure Valve, like other online shops, have a content management team which optimizes the shop in all kinds of ways. Automation is probably heavily included but not completely running the shop.
Well I guess in order to determine a negotiation price you need to have a rough idea of how much value will your project add to that company (how much additional money will they earn with your project) and use that to calculate the price.
I think it's only fair that the original repo should be the most promoted one. Usually, the original author has put a lot of thought and effort into coming up with the idea and turning it into a popular open source project.

You don't want to create an environment in which forkers can easily steal credit from the original author(s). It takes a lot of passion and goodwill for someone to start a new open source project. I think they deserve some credit.

If an 'owner' no longer feels up to the task of managing their project, GitHub lets them transfer it to someone else. That's what happened with ExpressJS and it worked out fine.
You might be a little confused :(. If I were confused I would get some counsel to figure out what's going on. I think the most reasonable way to see if your girlfriend has died is to check her local obituaries. It would not be wise to work very hard to travel so far just to figure out she's totally okay and is involved in a new job. Again I would seek counsel with a person you trust or a therapist, you might just be dealing with some anxiety and confusion.
You've cooked up a scheme that's vastly more expensive than the current one (let me remind you that India is poor) and you still haven't even explicitly defined "made something of themselves".

Let me also remind you that unlike the US, India is a country with real problems - with the money you spend on this crazy vague subjective university admission scheme, you could instead do something useful like building more toilets.
I thought this was a buffered-writes issue, where (perhaps based on the filesystem?) the OS may have buffered some of the disk operations in memory and by asking it to unmount you can ensure that everything gets flushed to the drive. Not sure how that would result in ruining/wiping the drive though.

> what's the difference?

The difference is that when you're behind the wheel of a car your in charge of a machine that can very easily kill other people.

> the chance of major injuries is radically lower than when riding a bike.

The chance of causing major injuries is radically higher. You're confusing that with the chance of the driver themselves be the subject of the injuries.

Of course there's a higher degree of accountability for drivers, as there should be.

How do you feel about imposing a blanket ban on said flag for PR purposes?
Part of the reason for the 2008 market crash was the 'subprime home loan' debacle, where lending policies encouraged persons who should not have owned a home to nevertheless buy one and take on a mortgage. This policy (to increase home ownership) failed, and the market corrected. We are back to where we were in 1993 with respect to home ownership because the attempt to increase ownership artificially failed, spectacularly.
Apple decides to perform PR stunt to benefit from hysteria, while fucking over publishers/developers.

Steam perform PR stunt by giving one game promotion. I don't see how it is bad taste, especially compared to Apple actions.
If you look at the IPPC's SRREN report you'll find that most renewables actually do slightly better than nuclear. I've spent a day or so trying to find my previous comments on this without luck, but it's burried somewhere in the thousand-plus pages:

http://srren.ipcc-wg3.de/report

See p. 746.

Nuclear, excluding Chernobyl, in fatalities per GWeyr (GW
electricity per year) does worse than EU Hydro, PV, Onshore and offshore wind, or Geothermal EGS. Biomass CHP biogas risks are very slightly higher, but comparable.

Even the worst power-related disaster of all time, a hydro failure in China, has the characteristic that, once it got done being a massive flood, things recovered fairly quickly. Zhumadian City in China is now home to over 7 million people, though 171,000 perished in the 1975 disaster

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhumadian

Nuclear has been safer than fossil fuel generation, but that doesn't make it the safest generating option around.

There's also that pesky little problem that solar's failure modes are pretty self-limiting. A nuclear plant emits, as nuclear advocates are quite fond of noting, less radioactivity than a coal plant, under normal conditions.

It's just that other than normal conditions change that characteristics by many millions of fold, with consequences lasting from centuries to millennia.
To be honest, as long as we (citizens) accept to have vehicles driven by humans inside our cities, this has little to do with Volvo.

I've noticed that OS X seems to flag a USB drive as needing to be scanned until it is ejected. More than once I've copied files off a USB device and unplugged without ejecting and as soon as it's plugged into windows it comes up with scan option.

It does get you into the habit of ejecting the drive first
Looks like a neat idea and could help a bit but not as cool as http://revolights.com which has to be my favourite bike visibility system. It's mounted on the wheels, persistence of vision based and knows when to illuminate the LEDs.

However, non of these make cycling (especially in London) safe. I wouldn't cycle in London any more as it's just too dangerous, but I did for years. I always wore high vis and a helmet and obeyed the rules of the road and I still had far too many close calls and incidents with other vehicles.

I think if Valve chose to promote this and it wasn't automatically placed on the front page due to a surge in popularity, it's probably because Valve is trying to show itself to be a marketplace where no idea is censored, no matter how unpopular and that their competitors have asinine policies.

Look at the whole Hatred debacle. Some people think it's the most offensive game of all time and should be banned, but Gabe himself came out and said that that's no reason to pull the game.

Besides, when it comes to censorship in games, it's usually from gross misunderstandings or willful ignorance. Banning all Civil War themed games because they display a flag in a historical context is a good example. The game is in no way promoting the ideology behind the flag.
Well, knowing that roundabouts are safer, if the manufacturer of 4 way stop-lights suggested that cars should be painted brighter colors to prevent crashes, I'd consider that in about as poor taste, and as likely to have a positive impact, as volvo trying to repaint bicycles as a PR pitch.

Erlang is greatly influenced by Prolog. The first Erlang implementation was actually written in Prolog. Erlang and Elixir are just fine for logic programming.
iirc, they used to be curated, over time organic features were added to promote popular games, and the social update brought the "Recommended for you" pages.

You can tell explicit placement still goes on, as games that are in the news pop up, so do preorders of big titles, etc.

If I had to imagine, how it works now is theres several buckets of candidates, such as popular new releases, curated features (IE "New DLC Available" or "Preorder Now", "New on Steam" etc), and Recommended For You, and a certain amount of titles are shown from each bucket every time the front page is shown.

Not really. Cannabis, opium, mushrooms, etc. have been around forever and have been marginalized to a greater or lesser extent over time, and often much less than they were in the 20th century.
