Difficult to obtain and get running (I'm told by everyone I've asked). So definitely not the first thing; mostly those last two things.

And yeah, I think that high-quality source code is definitely a pretty impressive feat when researchers pull in off. And I also agree source code should be provided. But beyond providing a VM, I think it's really dangerous to sort of fixate on building software that's easy to setup/use. There's a pretty significant time cost there in some cases, and it's worth asking whether that's what we want to be spending our Science dollars on.

I am not saying I believe in it, but in the past I heard more than once that Dutch were one of the first nations to add more additives to their food and that's why they are this tall.

Also, Dutch people are not the only ones to get taller and taller: even in southern European countries the young generations are experiencing a huge height boost.
The trip is short, short flights have the same issue with restrooms as you aren't allowed to use the restroom while taxi-ing or during takeoff/landing, which can easily pass 30-40 minutes, especially if there is a line to use the restroom after a delayed takeoff.

In my opinion leap seconds shouldn't exist in software. Time should be continuous from some point of time (1970-01-01 works fine) and leap seconds should only account when software performs formatting (or parsing) of date-time.
Green account is acting green, but I shall persevere.

First, the argument I made refuted the claim that there was no conjugal definition in law. Job done. Your change to a new argument, "anti-gay prejudice", doesn't undo the fact that not only in CA post-Prop-22, but all over the world for millenia, marriage has been defined normatively as conjugal.

Second, I know the exceptions, they do not prove the rule. Nor does the rule equal "anti-gay prejudice". The word matrimony comes from the Latin word for mother. Revising history won't erase the normative, biological basis of the conjugal marriage definition.

Anti-gay prejudice is a novel claim. 30 years ago many gays resisted or objected to early attempts to redefine marriage, as at least wrong-headed _embourgeoisement_, and often as much worse: an attempt to control and ban sexual expression. See Mark Simpson, e.g. Andrew Sullivan just wrote about this from his point of view.

It's a cheap trick to scream "prejudice" and "bigotry" when the argument is over essential differences. Those differences can be argued to be immaterial (the SCOTUS majority opinion did this, mostly by assertion) but they cannot be erased or reduced to "prejudice".

At this point I will cite http://discussingmarriage.org/ again. "Go green" over there if you must.

> #include plug for FastMail - we know what we're doing.

At the risk of sounding too negative, er... well, do you?

I'm a paid FastMail user right now, and after first signing up a couple years ago, I filed my first and only bug against FastMail last month about the inability to use spaces in passwords. (I feel like it should go without saying, but it's painful to have to use symbols instead of spaces on mobile, and even a bit jarring at a real keyboard, and it makes password input prone to typos.)

What I got in response was some handwaving about the problem that amounted to a "REQUEST DENIED". (In truth, I did find that a bit frustrating. The free email service I also use that's notorious for offering no support finds spaces in passwords to be perfectly acceptable, but the one I have a subscription for won't let me? The one whose benefits are frequently touted as including, "Believe us, it's totally worth it. Look how you can talk to a real human being." If the choices are not being able to talk to a human being but not needing to, and being able to talk to one who doesn't accept that there's a problem, much less provide a solution for it, then the former pretty clearly wins out.) But the frustration from that ends up amounting to a minor one wrt the digression that the developer who was responding went on to write:

> Probably later this year we plan to require client specific passwords for all external software. When we do that, we won't allow people to use their login password for IMAP/POP/SMTP/etc clients, you'll have to use a generated one. At that point, the only login place for your password will be the web browser

Okay, so here's how my security setup works now:

Create a very secure password, and then... just use it. Every time. I.e., do not ask Thunderbird to save it, and do not set up a client to receive messages on mobile.

In the proposed new scheme, users will be forced to choose between memorizing whatever unmemorable thing the generator spews out for a non-web client, or enter it one time and set up their clients to save it. Which is no choice at all; the latter is effectively the only one available (see "unmemorable"). What this all means is that your pursuit of trying to make account access more secure actually ends up demanding that it be very un-

The end result is that at some point "later this year", I'm going to have to take the same approach as noinsight and run my own mailserver[1], point my domain away from FastMail, and hope that my request for a refund will be granted due to the conditions changing during the middle of my subscription.

Agreed. I think results should be reproducible. I guess my point is that the amount of time spent writing up and communicating protocol should be governed by an analysis of the scientific benefits of doing so, rather than commercial benefits.

I'm not saying that protocols can't be improved at appropriate cost. Rather, I'm saying that the cost of creating protocols that random person at pharma company can use correctly the first time without asking for help is a going to result in an enormous amount of wasted time getting to a level of reproducibility that isn't necessary for doing good science (where good != profitable).

And at the frontiers of science where we're using a novel protocol for the first time, I think it's OK to publish without extensive documentation. If the protocol ends up being useful and important enough that other people want to use it, then that's the time to start investing time in high-quality documentation. Which is one of the scientific benefits of collaborative reproduction.

(FWIW I think michaelhoffman did a better job of capturing the essence of my complaint in a few sentences than I've done over multiple posts.)
1. Find some time every week or every day to work on it.

2. Open an editor and start doing it.

3. Break it up into small chunks so you can feel like you're making progress.

Also, pick something better than a job board. (Unless you're really sure that's what you want to do.) There already are too many people trying to make a better job website.

One thing that helped me, surprisingly, was having a couple of side projects. That made it easier for me to switch around when I got bored with one.

Who cares how long the planet was here before humans? The planet isn't going anywhere no matter what we do.
14% of adult Americans (about 30M people) are functionally illiterate[1]. They are bad at reading things in snailmail, many just don't see the value in it. We have records, stories, and even myths that seek to warn people about the disreputable men who take advantage of their mark's ignorance.

Does society try to keep these people illiterate? Does we give up, accuse the millions of illiterate people of not caring, and find ways to hide important things from them? Do we simply let them stay ignorant while making sure we hide any books when they are around, because books when they are around "because they don't care"? While I'm sure there have been been people who have done these things, we - as a modern society - generally find the idea of being illiterate to be a serious problem; serious enough that we spend significant amounts of money on education programs and other attempts to fix the problem of illiteracy.

Technology has created a new literacy. I'm not talking about programming or suggesting that people need to know HTML or anything. However, if you want to function in modern society, you need to understand some of the evolving language that society uses. This new literacy includes things like understanding that strings of the form "xxx@yyy.zzz" are probably an email address, and when you read something that starts "http://" or ends in ".com" or ".net" is probably referring to a website. The fact that the educational system has yet to catch up to the changes in technology is not a reason to force decisions on people, nor is it a reason to accuse them of not caring; instead, we should be interpreting the problems people have with security as a sign that a lot more education is needed, and we need to find ways to help people learn so they can protect themselves.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in the tech community that are confusing "frustration at not understanding obtuse technology" with "not caring about security". Many people do care, but lack the slightest idea about how to even approach important technical decisions. Certificates, keys, signing, and the like are not what matters, and are minutia tha should be left to those with proper technical knowledge. What matters in security is where the trust is being placed, and that is something a lot of people are skilled at.

Obviously, change isn't going to happen overnight. My suggestion is that we need a way to let people at least start down that path of managing trust. A good first step would be simply exposing the process so people can learn that a trust decision is even necessary.

See also Certificate Transparency (RFC6962) which I haven't seen mentioned in this thread yet - the goals of which are to require all certificates be written to publicly auditable, tamper-proof logs in order to be considered secure by clients. In such a manner certificate mis-issuance will be easy to detect for interested parties. As of earlier this year Chrome is already requiring Signed Certificate Timestamps for new EV certificates in order to display the EV indicator.

> As soon as a few applications start using this "new" form of UTF-8, some of them may have to keep supporting it forever

Not if it's used through a 3rd-party library such as the Go-implementation of UTF-88 I've provided.

> Why not directly going for the pre-2003 UTF-8 encoding ? It would even put a bit of pressure for restoring them

Because it's not a valid encoding under the current scheme, whereas using surrogates with UTF-8 is, using as it does the 2 private use planes to implement the surrogates. The goal is for restoration by the Unicode Consortium, but based on their public utterances it's not going to happen easily or quickly, and in the meantime we need an encoding that's valid under the current scheme because it may need to be used for 10 or 20 years. Of course I could have used UTF-16 with a doubly-directed surrogate system but that would be even more error-prone, and I expect whatever 2nd-level surrogate system is eventually provided with UTF-16 will be legally available with UTF-8 and UTF-16 anyway.

UTF-88 is an attempt to showcase both a surrogation scheme implementable in current UTF-16 and the fact that UTF-8 is the best encoding.
It's an interesting trade off; you get a nice bump in precision for a small increase in code complexity.

As far as I can tell from the article, Young's stance is that the contract lab doing the reproduction doesn't seem competent enough to correctly reproduce the experiment.

I don't know enough to know if that's true or not. But it seems at least possible that in the rush to reproduce much, the project is cutting costs by using less-skilled contract labs.

Photo selection study reveals we don't look like we think we look
Very easy recipe (takes about an hour, mostly waiting for milk to cool):

- Buy a container of your favorite _plain_ yogurt and a gallon of milk,

- Boil the milk in a pan,

- Cool milk until it is warm (usual baby formula test - you can drop it on your forearm w/o hurt),

- Add the plain yogurt and stir well,

- Cover pan and put in a warm place, e.g., inside your unlit gas oven (pilot light should be running) and forget about it for 8-12 hours,

It will become thick tasty yogurt. Save some for the next batch.

> Intel's comparable 11 bit precision vectorized log function performs about 6 times faster at lengths of 64k or longer.

The issue is probably the division in the approximation. Agner Fog says even Sandy Bridge doesn't pipeline FP (or integer) divisions, which take from 10 to 14 cycles (less than two add/mul pairs). If the goal is to minimise latency for a small number of values, a lower order rational approximation might be preferable to a higher order polynomial; however, when we want throughput, add/mul pipeline better.

Scalable Is Awesome, Literally – Garrett Smith – Erlang User Conference 2015
I'm squarely in the other camp. I can't remember which brand, but I've seen a commercial that boasts that the milk for their swiss-style cheese is sourced from local cows in Switzerland. Which sounds crazy to me, since the whole idea behind local products is that they were not shipped halfway around the world.

Of course this yogurt company is specifically seeking national distribution, and if the minimum viable batch size for their perishable, niche product is 5000 gallons that's probably best. But I'm still pleased that their milk (or yogurt) is not shipped here from Iceland for no discernible reason.
Nice description. The Node event loop pretty much defines the general shape of all APIs that work in Node. When we were porting HyperDex to Node, the greatest challenge was to integrate the data store with the async event loop [1]. The resulting callback oriented programs look strange at first to people coming from a traditional thread-oriented background, but they have an elegance of their own.

Agreed. I would actually be surprised if only a single lab had tried to reproduce a key result.

There may well be other labs which tried, and failed, to reproduce the original author's findings. In any event, it is unlikely we would know, as failure is unfortunately rarely publicized in academia (especially so when such failure is commonly dismissed out of hand for reasons such as a "lack of expertise").

I personally think the work this replication work is incredibly important and should absolutely be a key priority for funding institutions.
