Nuclear deterrence is no doubt part of the reason why major wars have ended, but another reason is greatly expanded international trade. The cost of invading a nation you trade with is much higher than the cost of invading a nation you don't trade with.
Why the Average Person Should Care About Virtual Reality
They are replacing one unstable system with another. Bitcoin is a great idea..but the ups and downs are so massive right now, it's just not a good replacement.

Is the poor performance of Weave really surprising? Userland networking will always be lesser performing than that of native kernel networking (the show is somewhat better with technologies such netmap/PF_RING/DPDK). Weave itself would probably improve in performance if it utilised a TUN/TAP device + static routes as opposed to its current mangling of packets with pcap and BPF.
This is one of the great dangers of state sponsored industrial espionage and why governments should not engage it in outside of extreme circumstances.

>A second economic espionage order called “France: Economic Developments” shows that information was then shared with other U.S. agencies and secretaries, including the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Commerce, the Federal Reserve and the Secretary of Treasury. Eventually, this data could have been used to help sign export deals.

Nothing in this report directly shows that the US did or did not share this intelligence with US companies. I have not read the French articles yet.

I wonder how the US handles sharing economic intelligence with allies that have a very public record of state sponsored industrial espionage.
Your two-enums-in-a-byte example: I'm pretty sure I could do this in D. Hence, it should be possible in C++. Maybe Rust can do it as well.
So glad you responded, thank you. I definitely have suggestions. Our devops team was going to remove Crucible/Fisheye and I gave them this non-exhaustive list of why I would like to keep those tools in conjunction with stash:

* Fisheye has crazy advanced searching (in commit messages, users, etc)

* Fisheye offers he ability to watch for changes on files and directories that happen in any branch

* Fisheye shows a file as it might look with all branches and tags together (though it doesn't always combine them well of course as might be expected w/out using the VCS's conflict resolution)

* Crucible shows you what changed since you last reviewed and has an awesome slider (though can be a bit buggy)

* Crucible live-notifies updates in the browser on changes

* Crucible offers reviews on patches to a repo that may not be committed

* Crucible differentiates comments and defects

* Crucible lets me see unread vs read comments on files

* Crucible lets me see the number of comments (read and unread) on in the file-list pane on the left before going to the file

I personally think all 3 tools serve different purposes. I understand the want to move away from Crucible/Fisheye which are older and predate Git which causes some issues. IMO, there is a big unsatisfied market for code review tooling right now. There is also a market (probably not as big) for intelligent searching and notifications across a repo.

I had a feeling that sentence was going to be taken apart and thought I should change it, but I didn't have the words at the time. By "profit-making companies", I mean companies that work on products for people that are not directly designed to help an impoverished people or solve a health or social problem. That is being implied here. He calls out the "sexting apps" directly, but most of the article is about him reconnecting with his friends at Google and the conclusion seems driven from that interaction.

It's an interesting sentiment really- you see the same thing in pro-slavery sentiments during the 1800s- "oh, the Irish immigrants in Britain have it so much worse, look at these slaves, they don't live in cold tenements! They have it so good!"

To my mind it's a failure of the education system trying to make things easier for students to understand or something. Middle/kindergarten schools do some really quite perverse stuff, like "slavery days" where the white kids are "slaves" to the black kids, or other weird stuff.

I don't know if I agree with the whole idea that it's guilt or something, I think it's more to do with people wanting to believe in a good, not a bad. History is harsh!
I wonder how so many people manage to use "totally unusable" program. Krita is nice and all, but it's quite different product than GIMP, designed specifically for drawing, when GIMP is sort of "general stuff", like Photoshop is. And Krita is free and open source as well, so it doesn't support the original claim.

And GIMP doesn't really lack many features Photoshop has, and even has some that Photoshop doesn't. UI could be much better (especially controls for transformations), but it's not that horrible either. The reason why GIMP sucks in comparison with Photoshop is that few features it lacks are absolutely game-changing. Like effect masks. If you use effect masks (and pretty much every proficient Photoshop user does), software without them is not an option for you. And I believe it isn't that easy to introduce them to GIMP either.
I think this is a fair statement. It pretty much started as a way for board wargamers to play each other by email. In fact, the name is an acronym (Virtual Advanced Squad Leader - VASL).

It was designed to be flexible, though, so in theory a VASSAL module can be made for any board game.

Is crowdsourcing really that great of an idea? content is usually better served curated, at least that's the thinking in the past, right? i.e. galleries, museums.

With crowdsourcing, I think you get to a point where content coming in becomes normalized (see reddit), and people start migrating away from that community in search of more variety. I would also like to point out the boston bombings fiasco as an example that internet crowdsourcing (read as angry enabled mob) can be silly if not dangerous.

Have there been any studies on how a flat community behaves on the internet?
I'm interested in more than just the use cases (although still curious to hear why someone chose Elixir, whether it be for the language, BEAM, or whatever.) I'm looking for stories of why it was chosen over another language and what the end results were.
>Meanwhile, in China, whenever the government needs some money they just print it up at the PBOC and hand it out, usually to bail out bad debts to state owned enterprises, but at least they aren't sticking it to the taxpayer like we are.

And when PBOC prints up that money to bail out state owned enterprises it devalues existing currency by the same amount. Inflation by this manner is functionally indistinguishable to a tax.
Would you recommend Elixir for a first FP language? I am familiar with FP from using Python and JavaScript, but I have never used a completely functional language yet. Can I dive into Elixir or should I learn something more "traditional" first such as Haskell, Lisp, etc?

My guess would be that LLVM is not so much motivated by better benchmarks. You could always make it a parameter. The bigger issue usually is: If we mark something as an error, which is actually allowed by the C standard, then lots big old libraries will not compile anymore and nobody is willing to fix all the old code.

How would you deal with the intersections in my links?

Edit on your edit:

> To me, your argument sums up to "I want to go 120km in the residential".

Holy shit, how did you even get that. I bike on average between 15 and 21 kmh. I'm saying that on some intersections the situational complexity can be so high that simply going on is actually tempting.
I'm sure this is a stupid question, but after a few minutes of googling I am still unclear on the answer so I thought I'd ask it here. I am about to start studying in the US (college), so I was wondering if the USDS accepts non-American citizens? Even without a green card? (I'm British, btw).

What I've gathered from news reports is that her mail server was accepting SSL connections, with a certificate that was probably strong enough at the time it was installed, but that was insufficiently strong for the brute-force attacks available today. Aside from that, it wasn't too bad - especially given the physical security of her residence (i.e., Secret Service).

> then what's the point of a savings account?

A savings account isn't cash, its an immediately-callable loan from the account holder to a financial institution; for the account holder, it provides an asset with very good liquidity (but perhaps marginally worse than that provided by a checking account), essentially zero risk, but poor returns (but perhaps marginally better than that provided by a checking account). Its a way of meeting short-term spending needs (but perhaps slightly longer term than that met by a checking account).

Demand deposit accounts (both checking and savings) in general are, like cash, basically for short-term spending, but where the bank provides some benefits (actual storage, along with access mechanisms more convenient for many uses than pulling physical bills out of a storage locker).
This is a suuuuuuuuuper complicated issue, keep in mind. There are a lot of things that go into the current geo-political situation and though nukes are one major card in the deck, there are many many others.

That we have not gone to war with other major powers is a debatable point as well. Though not as apparent as WW2, the proxy wars have been draining on our nations and peoples.

One thing to remember about nukes is not that they are so damaging, but that the damage is so fast and long lasting. The old maxim of 'war is good for business' is not true with a-bombs. Not due to the blast and damage, but due to the radiation. We still have no idea what it does and how to contain it and make a profit, it's just too toxic (like gasses)

From the comments:

OP's project isn't a simple port. They wrote an original DOOM-like engine,
from scratch, in assembly language. It only looks like
DOOM because they're using DOOM textures.
I don't think that's true: (x y) is (x . (y . nil)) and shouldn't match (1 . (2 . (3 . nil))), because nil would have to match (3 . nil).
Ahh, yes. I agree, there's very little SCTP used in public networks.
We did try TUN/TAP. It seemed to be slower than pcap.

Not really because there are two kinds of c programer out there.

1. Those that communicate with the outside world exclusively via library calls to an operating system.

2. Those that do not.

People that live in world #1, usually don't get people living in world #2. Example.

// wait for write ready
while((spi.S & SPI_S_SPTEF_MASK) == 0)
;

spi.D;
spi.D = data;

Guess what,

No spi.D; is actually important.
No just because the program never writes to spi.S does not mean you can delete the while loop.
No you cannot reorder any of this and have it work.

Renewables still aren't fast enough by themselves, even with the most optimistic projections, according to engineers from Google's big renewables project: http://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/renewables/what-it-would-rea...

Availability is a problem. Right now we're mainly backing up renewables with fossil plants.

Most people really aren't getting what climate scientists are saying these days, which is that we have to cut emissions drastically in the very near future to avoid disaster. If we exceed +2C, or possibly even +1.5C, positive feedbacks will take the planet several degrees further even with no more emissions from us. Right now we're at +0.8C. Every ton of CO2 we emit takes 30 years to have its full effect on the temperature, considering direct effects alone, so we've got another 30 years of warming locked in already.

+4C or so might not sound like much but judging by geological history, the effects would include an enormous reduction in the amount of food we're able to produce.
Sorry... that's just totally not accurate. While there may be some who are not hacking code 24/7, it's because they're providing project management or leadership functions. This is a damn elite team of technologists there to make a difference - not for politics.
I tried calm and it was okay. I actually read the book 'Mindfulness in Plain English' and worked from there.

I've never heard of Primedice before, but based on their blog post (and the general concept of a bitcoin casino)...

...I can't imagine the slightest reason why they would expect, would want, or would tolerate automated gambling. ANY evidence that someone is using a script or bot, making too many bets, making bets with an oddly regular pattern, making too many requests from a single IP, making requests from different IPs at the same time, etc. would seem to be a red flag, and should cause the associated account to be suspended. Right?

Like, if there's a hole in your code, the attacker is very likely to automate the attack to try and maximise their gains. But if there's no hole in your code, your punters are very unlikely to automate their playing. Any hint of automation is a huge red flag; any hint of automation combined with a string of "lucky" wins should be an automatic account suspension, because you're obviously looking at successful attack.

Saying that your developers couldn't find any "wrong-doing" just raises questions. Like, why do your developers need to look, shouldn't those checks be automated? And how did they miss it when it turns out it was obvious? And why were you even looking when the underlying activity was obviously illegitimate? Real casinos don't wait until they understand the scam before cutting someone off.

So many questions.

> How do you not notice hundreds of requests per second (from the same IP I assume)

To be fair to them, I imagine a bitcoin casino is a magnet for weird traffic patterns. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they're getting bursts of crazy traffic all the time, and they had no way of knowing which ones were "potential timing attacks" and not just "bored script kiddy with a botnet". Maybe "Hufflepuff" was hitting them from an unrelated network constantly, and a small fraction of those times he also made a bet he already knew the outcome of. Maybe he was also making normal bets at the same time. (...or maybe not.)

Still, even if the bad traffic was hidden by noise, I don't believe that his account activity could have looked normal the entire time he was building up his 1 million payout.
I still think there are huge issues with nuclear that need to be solved but nothing Sam said was controversial;

Cost: http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/aeo/electricity_generation.cfm -- on an LCOE basis, Advanced Nuclear is cheaper than everything but natural gas and that's entirely due to CapEx costs to build new plants -- which are what the modular nuclear companies that Sam's joining are working on fixing.

Again, I think you're arguing against something that is not actually in the article. I read him as pointing at ends of a continuum, and I think you're falsely constructing a dichotomy out of that.

He says quite clearly: "I’m still a believer in technology, particularly in the web platform, as a force for good." He also is explicit that for himself he wants something farther toward the clear-impact end of the spectrum: "I needed to redirect my energies towards problems that society wasn’t adequately addressing."

And you are making exactly the same assumption he did. It is not clear whether they meant libraries first released in the past 5 years or libraries that have seen new releases in the past 5 years. He assumed the former, you're assuming the latter. He has a valid concern.
So true. That's exactly why this is so exciting. With a UPower generator, small communities or neighborhoods could have always on, emission free power for a decade.

and then, as you indicated, with enough clean power, individuals can create desalinated water or even extract water from air. They could cleanly power greenhouses even in the arctic. We could remove carbon from the air.
