The way you've written your post reminds me of that time that Clinton aides stole critical computer hardware from the offices of the White House and the Executive Office Building during the transition from the Clinton administration in order to sabotage the efforts of the incoming Bush administration. Or, you know, to put it another way, they took all of the W's off of the keyboards.
Building a unified framework for all of programming theory is useful, even if it provides no new insights. It provides a clearer basis for thinking about what we already know, and thereby makes the new insights easier. So even if the new insights aren't here yet, it makes it more likely that they eventually come.
If it is from a house guest who attended a party or social function I've hosted, it is a much appreciated expression of gratitude and may end up temporarily on the fridge especially if there's witty quip or cool-looking stationery.

If it is from an elderly relative or child under 10 years old, it is appreciated as a quaint old-fashioned gesture: awww isn't that cute! It goes on the fridge.

If it is from a job candidate who I've just interviewed? I will assume it was from a hapless out-of-touch person who took out-of-date job-interview advice uncritically and verbatim. It raises a small red-flag for awkwardness. It goes in the shredder.
> Subtopic one (in topic one) will be different as Subtopic one (in topic two) in most real cases, probably. A clear example is scientific literature where each chapter could have a 'results' section, maybe with different subsection names.

I agree. In fact, I set out to make it this way initially. It's either more difficult to implement this, or I don't know the dot language well enough - probably the latter.

I did a dirty hack to do exactly what you're saying for a scientific paper. I modified the code to check if the current line/topic/node was already mentioned in the output string. If so, I tacked on a random number to the node name. Yuck.

Ideally, there would be option to preserve a strict tree-like architecture in better way.

No, you've missed my point. I'm saying that your analysis is fixated on the idea that e.g. a rape threat predicts a rape. I'm saying, "sure, maybe you're right", and rape threats really don't predict rapes. But they probably do predict other threats: career damage, reputation damage from forged posts, online breakin attempts, &c.

It's a difficult question. Here are other factors to consider.

For example, "Time and again, students tell me of three common ways in which most high school and college classes kill their interest in novels". The author then describes those ways, but doesn't describe why there has been an increasing emphasis "now than in those proverbial eras of backwardness, the 1950s and 1980s".

There are at least three that I can think of. The author writes about students who study Russian literature, among others. Those decades were the Cold War, and many Americans studied aspects of the Soviet Union and Russian culture. For example, Condoleezza Rice studied Russian at Moscow State University and her PhD thesis was on military policy and politics in Czechoslovakia. From my own youth, I remember the TV show "Head of the Class", when it was filmed in Moscow. One of the characters loved Russian short stories.

I do not think there's the same interest now that the Soviet Union no longer exists, and Russian is not a superpower balancing the US. Thus, the sample population of students has changed.

The second thing I can think of is the rise of high stakes testing, which is all that incoming college students have ever experienced. These tests don't use novel-length reading passages. From what I gather, students are more tested on the technical aspects of the reading excerpt, rather than the reader’s experience - exactly what this essayist does not want.

The third is that the GI bill after WWII opened up college to a lot more people than previously, and until the start of the all-volunteer force in 1973 it offered a way to delay conscription. However, that is only the first 1/2 of "the 1950s and 1980s."

Interesting - say video @ 60fps, encode 1 QR code per frame, would be highly resistant against transcoding errors, very easy to extract information from again given the standard format.

Wouldn't be terribly efficient though. Wikipedia says max bytes per code is 2953 per QR code [1]. So 2953Bps * 60fps = 177KBps data encoding. I guess that's what you get for encoding it in a visual (human readable) format instead of a datastream directly.

The tendencies at the start of the domestication process can be varied, yet we can expect that any capacity for tolerance is more likely aid the process rather than hinder it. This is a process that can and does take thousands of years, and if it is happening you are probably not going to expect to see a transformation in morphology (Speciation) during a human lifetime. Once you see tolerance between an ape/monkey and a canine, you certainly wonder whether something is happening.

Also note that something may indeed be happening only to get disrupted due to the many factors at play in an evolutionary process. Domestication is an evolutionary process. Domestication is a term that evokes calculation and intention [1], but given the time scales involved the participants have not a clue what the end product will be let alone be cognisant of the process.

[1] This is may be due to the "domestication" term being applied to plants as well were the process is simpler.

> A small number of users is upset at her stance in favor of diversity and against sexism

Uh. What?

First of all, Ellen Pao's stances against sexism and pro diversity are suspect. She used them as a reason as to why she was fired, and sued her former employer. She lost. Miserably.

Her husband is also an allged ponzi scheme fraudster.

Whatever Ellen Pao may deserve, sympathy is not it.

That I found less annoying than your previous post. It's infuriating to be told that I'm not interested in actually engaging in a conversation when I'm sure that I am but it's less annoying than the implicatures in the previous one so thanks.

One thing it might be worth mentioning: my commercial experience of the software industry goes back to 1980. It's only with the advent of social media built on the Web that I've ever heard (those assumed to be) programmers express such horrific and hateful things to women. It incredibly bothers me.

Does that give some context for the kinds of things I'd be interested to discuss here?

I'd also still be grateful to know how exactly the OP became [flagged] though, thanks to jessaustin, I can now see it again personally.

It's tough to ask for these one time freebie exceptions.

I'm sorry if you think I'm part of the problem, but I don't see how those two points relate to my comment. Heck, I agree with pretty much everything shkyes said.

I didn't know labelling Randi Harper a harasser was a gamergate tactic. I know almost nothing about this whole gamergate business. I just visited the OAPI's site and recognized the name Randi Harper from my acquaintance's experience. He had a very rough time because of her emails, Facebook messages, and tweets. For that reason and that reason alone, I voiced my concern. I don't have any other motive.

Digging deeper, I see that Harper herself has been on the receiving end of some outright egregious behavior. I can only express my condolences for her and condemnation for her attackers.

Still, it seems to me that her organization will likely cause more harm than good in curbing online abuse. One can feel sympathy for another human being while also doubting their fit for a position.

But honestly, this whole topic is radioactive. No matter one's opinion or how delicately it is put, it gets misconstrued and pigeonholed. It's impossible to have an honest, nuanced conversation.

I would say it's a good start. Where she goes from here will be what matters. If she goes silent in the weeks and months ahead it will be clear this was just damage control. If she regularly engages the community, as she should, then she'll be on the right track.

See Zuck and his regular 'town hall meetings' on his public news feed. She does nothing like that. The only times we hear from her are when she has an announcement or is forced to respond to heavy criticism.

You two are reacting to nothing more than a single objectionable word ("domesticating") in the title. That's a good reason to change the title, but an unfair reason to be so dismissive of the article. It wasn't a bad popular treatment and the story is obviously interesting.

HN generally prefers the most substantive popular article on a story, as opposed to specialized academic papers, except when the specialty is one that the audience here is comfortable with (i.e. computing). A link to the original paper usually appears in the thread for those who are experts or want more.

We've changed the URL from http://www.businessinsider.com/are-these-monkeys-domesticati... to the New Scientist article it points to.

My attitude is that, if they're going to close a question as offtopic, then put it in your robots.txt for Google to exclude that page.

Why is StackOverflow polluting Google with content its moderators deem "not appropriate for the website"?

> You could also shut down definitively, for example if the system is corrupted and cannot restart after a partition. There is no inconsistent history in this case, just complete unavailability (you could also claim being CP).

This is precisely CP.

> You can also be partly available and partly inconsistent (2PC with heuristic resolution). Here you're not AP nor CP.

This is basically what the AP systems do, with various ways to manage inconsistency. Dynamo-style EC is but one.

> Partition intolerance (CA) is a specification. It's saying any network partition is a serious issue for the system, and that may break one or more invariants (ex: atomicity in a sql database).

If you can break C in the face of a partition, then you're not CA, are you?

CA is not meaningful. CAP is about choosing between availability and consistency in the face of partitions, which are essentially unavoidable in any non-trivial multi-node system. There are maybe some interesting things to say about latency, but I suspect there isn't much that hasn't been said.

Side note: Mike Stonebraker posited in 2010 that partitions on a network are rare. I'm not going to outright call him wrong, but for the purposes of someone building a distributed system to be run for others on a non-appliance, you're going to run into plenty of partition events on a LAN. VoltDB changed the way our product behaved in version 3.0 to aggressively kill nodes if there is any potential for split brains. We originally intended this feature for the cloud only, but too many users with their own hardware were hitting partitions in surprising configurations.
Hmm, no. Considering them an ad company helps to keep what they do for money on the forefront. Trying to push it down as some ancillary activity makes sense if you're marketing for Google, but not in any other situation.

From the article, ".. Stanford study .. demonstrated that most workplace stress is caused by things like corporate dysfunction and job insecurity—not by “unmindful employees.”

That's almost certainly true. However, it's equally almost certain that they would agree with the statement that the Republican Party embodies conservative values.

I'd also like to clarify: I was neither assuming nor asserting that the Democratic Party "embodies" "liberal" "values". Rather, I was asserting that the use of the term "liberal" is a weasel word meant to refer to a in-group centered around the Democratic Party, not any political ideology.
I guess my question is, why set theory, as opposed to building [new] logics on top of other semantic models (e.g. operational semantics or reachability relations)?

(I don't doubt there are compelling reasons, I just don't know enough about set theory or programming theory to know what they are. Other than the clear benefit of this approach over others in "elementary" educational settings, e.g. US high schools)

IMO every edge user should be getting a /62 at the smallest, but a /60 seems doable. /64 is the smallest idiomatic subnet. So a /60 would grant 2^4 subnets for SOHO use. Frankly, no one really probably needs more than 3 (internal, DMZ and external) for even SOHO operations.

New york also suffers this to some extent with empty highrises owned by who know what.

In normal places where they aren't supply shocked I don't think it matters, but if your NIMBY enough a place where the price of a property doubles in 2-4 years, it can get pretty nuts.

And I'm not saying you cannot rent a place, just not own one unless your a full time resident XOR you have a high tax on long term unoccupied properties that encourages property owners to rent out their spaces. I would actually just prefer a long term unoccupied property tax. The key is unused empty properties, not who owns it. Increase supply, and remove perverse incentives to not just sit on supply.

Unfortunately we cannot just pick on SF's landlord unfriendly laws here, because the supply shock applies to the entire bay area. Removing those laws to encourage landlords to rent out their empty properties would be an improvement.
With regard to Victoria, she ran the AMA's and was very popular with redditors. Think of it like a sports team cutting a really popular player, without offering an explanation. The fanbase would be really unhappy about that. And this is what reddit does when it's unhappy about something.

The Ellen Pao stuff is complicated, she does have some fault for being the one who made unpopular decisions and the way she managed the process (particularly extremely poor communication) but in general I agree that she gets way too much criticism from the community. She's very unpopular for a bunch of things that are not actually her fault (like people who incorrectly think she censors reddit).

They are running docket instances in all the data centers at the same time. each time he migrates the running instance, he pauses the instance, saves the contents of the instances ram and file descriptors (checkpoint), moves or copies that checkpoint to another data center, changes iptables to redirect any clients to the new instance through the load balancer and starts the instance in the new location. all scripted of course. Pure devops. This is basically how a love migration works on all hypervisors but it is really cool to see it in docker.
That could do some damage....
