Long before you get to Boolardy, the 346,000-hectare pastoral station on which the Murchison observatory stands, the radio-quiet restrictions start.

Incredible that the age we live in, we section off large swaths of land just so we can read radio waves from planets so distant we will likely never visit them. I'm glad the Australian government is getting behind something like this and look forward to seeing what they uncover.

On a side note, the actual writing of the article irked me a bit as the reporter is clearly non-technical, and when I saw Moores overquoted Law get a mention it did make me reconsider the accuracy of other statements made by the writer.
Very nice! I was tired of making my own legends for each single things. And this one looks really nice and easy.

Though, one of my pet peeves: people, please don't use discrete color scales for continuous parameters. It distorts presentation for no good reason. For example two countries are colored the same way even though they are on the opposing edges of a bin (so the difference is being masked), or two countries are colored in a different way, even though the difference is minimal, but just passes an artificial threshold (then an artificial difference is being shown).

I noticed this phenomena in my own writing and I think I know where it comes from. In Polya's list of heuristic (from How to Solve It) he writes about the the two rules of teaching:

> The first rule of teaching is to know what you are supposed to teach. The second rule of teaching is to know a little more than what you are supposed to teach.

When we learn something and then write about it to teach others, oftentimes we are excited about the things we just learned, so we write about that, even if we don't fully understand it yet. Then we add an introduction to the "meat" (i.e. the limits of our current understanding) which is very clear, precisely because we are "overqualified" to teach it. Another way to state Poyla's rule for teaching is as follows:

Being overqualified in knowledge is a prerequisite for being qualified as a teacher of that knowledge.

One way I like to picture knowledge is as a dark room. You might step into one but that doesn't mean you know every corner of it. For example, imagine a proof or a technique. Unless you can know by heart why each assumption is there, or when the technique fails, you don't fully understand it. If you are guiding someone through a dark house, as you go from room to room, you are only qualified to give someone directions about the room you already been in, not the one you are in right now - even if that's what is on your mind.

Note that this isn't unique to people writing technical blogs, it happens in academia a lot too. There's a reason Feynman's lecture on "undergraduate physics" attracted the attention of graduate students.
On my case in France (countryside, don't know about large cities), most small damages are not even reported at all since both driver are fearing that the insurance would increase their monthly fee so people are giving cash to each other, it's quite common.

It isn't just ESPN, many other channels are bundled and the costs are passed on. http://blogs.wsj.com/numbers/how-much-cable-subscribers-pay-...

Still I find it ironic how many complain about the six dollar figure assigned to ESPN when many premium channels; hbo/showtime/etc are ten to fifteen dollars a month. I know quite a few who spent that for HBONow just for one show only to cancel as soon as the season for GOT was over. While I have no interest in sports its a matter of perception.

Now ESPN and others have sued cable operators who have tried to slice up offerings to where customers could elect to not have specific channels. So while not defending cable and satellite companies it does come to the point where its cheaper to eat the bad customer feelings than spend the money on court cases. That being said, you would think with the drop in subscribers that the financials of that decision are turning around sufficiently that maybe they will push back harder

Hokstad takes you through writing a compiler in a way that makes sense, the same way you'd write any other program.
This is my site!

This was a pleasant surprise to find my own site on HN this morning! I wondered why it was getting a few more FB likes than usual today.

I'm happy to answer any questions.

I finished this redesign last week so any feedback is welcome.

The main task was to recreate labels and annotations on the illustrations in SVG format, and to reformat the articles in a way that flows nicely and is responsive, but without needing complex markup in the articles. I'll write about the process if there's interest.

It's maybe worth noting that while the space is indeed large, it's not actually used for anything much. The human impact of turning of electronic devices is negligable, given there is no cellphone reception anyway. In Karoo (where most of SKA will stand, in South Africa) they indeed turned off a few radio towers for cellphones and the site is radio-free (you can only use computers in isolated containers) but it only affected a few farmers. Asking people to turn phones off in one plane is probably far more of a hassle :-)

I am a Gmail user. I personally find the Fastmail interface a lot more performant; it's very responsive for me in a way that Gmail just isn't, though I'm not a Gmail 'power' user, so my experiences might be different (and I don't have 10,000s of emails in Fastmail yet). However, I can say I've found Google's Inbox product really useful a number of times recently (automatically classifying emails as travel, purchases, etc.) and I'll definitely miss that.
Good for you! I will never understand the mostly American tradition of buying a new car every few years? Cars that are so complicated; the owner is forced to bring it to the shop for every hiccup. A lot of cars/and trucks from the late 80's to around 2008, are pretty easy to work on, and with the proper maintence can last 300,000 miles. And if your not afraid of getting your hands dirty--you will never have to pay a mechanic $120/hr to work on your vechicle. These newer vehicles are so complicated--a lot of shops do a lot of learning on your dime. (I have a Toyota with a 22R engine. It has one 350,000 miles and it's never seen a mechanic--except for smog checks, and never failed once. Actually it did fail once, but it was due to an error in a Motor Emmission publication. If you have an older car, and need a
Smog check; make sure your smog shop has access to Mitchell manuals online(OnDemand5). They are highly accurate!

My dad gave me some good advice years ago. He told me to buy a year specific service manual for every automobile you ever buy.
I've only skimmed the beginning of the article but it seems to me that this is not about designing a language but about implementing a language. If you are going to design a language you have to consider a lot more than static versus dynamic.

I would say that the two main camps were typed versus untyped not static versus dynamic.

What about functional versus imperative versus actor.

So, in my opinion it dives much too deep into implementation much to quickly without any meaningful discussion of the design of the language or the process of designing a language.

Or, perhaps it's just the title that is wrong.

How standards compliant is Fastmail? Gmail is sadly a trainwreck. Their IMAP implementation has tons of quirks.

Furthermore, GTalk is getting phased out in favour of proprietary Google Hangouts. GTalk was always quirky as well, and fails to support many XEPs (XMPP extensions).
And the colormap should be easy to read with color blindness (so the blue/green one is not good), and also look good with various amounts of hue on different screens or print. For instance, printed in b&w. This page has a lot of color maps and how they look in greyscale in the bottom: http://matplotlib.org/1.4.1/users/colormaps.html As can be seen, the "jet" map often used is unreadable, luckily it is no longer default in matlab.
Well, you're right, but let's put this into context: the only viable alternative at the moment is Microsoft's ActiveSync, another proprietary protocol[1]. IMAP IDLE apparently isn't sufficient for power conscious mobile devices. So what alternative do they have? FastMail's already pushing their own JMAP[2] protocol which I imagine they'd be very happy to become a standard. Perhaps everyone should wait for a standards body to come up with a solution, but personally I'd rather they be pragmatic and actually help end-users until that happens, even though I agree with you on principle.

[1] ActiveSync does have open implementations, so it's not like you're locked out of push notifications to iOS Mail if you are a private individual or small business who wants to use this functionality, it's just that for whatever reason Fastmail doesn't want to use ActiveSync, hence this alternative. But as an iOS end user, both solutions offer the same experience.

It's not that simple. Using the Tor browser bundle, there is no protection against phone-home exploits outside the browser. Firewall rules would prevent them, but that's up to users. Far better is to use Whonix Tor gateway and workstation VMs in VirtualBox. The workstation VM has no Internet connectivity except via Tor running in the gateway.

Using the Tor browser bundle in Windows is especially risky. The FBI has relied on Firefox bugs and dropped Windows executables. In the Freedom Hosting case, the FBI used a Firefox vulnerability that had just been patched in Tor browser a week or so before.
I worked at a company with a lot of creative types. As part of a business deal we were moved from outlook to lotus, and that was when all hell broke loose. It happened on such a big scale and with such critical teams that management could not be heavy handed.

Creative departments revolted and started using personal gmail account like this (first.last_company@gmail.com). And before you knew it confidential data was bleeding out of the organization.

It was a total DIY google apps. Shared folders for projects, funny photos, and everything else you might imagine.

I setup a google sheet with links to each creative teams google drive.

It was such an interesting evolution of workflow management that came from the bottom up.

It was especially interesting to see how non-technical people (designers, account people, etc) used the suite of google tools to self-organize into their own data ecosystem.

So the moral of the story here, kids, is dont use Lotus notes because the minions will revolt.

> people, please don't use discrete color scales for continuous parameters

There are arguments against using continuous scales:

* By using classes (e. g. quantiles) you can reduce the impact of outliers. On a continuous scale an outlier can cause everything else to be perceived as one color.

* Perception of color intensity is not strictly linear.

The worse thing is that there is almost no reason to watch ESPN any longer. Sportscenter is for the most part terrible these days, with very low signal-to-noise ratio. Most of the other ESPN programming isn't worth watching, outside of the actual sporting events that they have broadcast rights to, and some niche content like the 30 for 30 documentaries.

Of course this is also the doldrum period of the sports year, with football long over, and basketball and hockey in their offseasons also. Baseball just doesn't do it, and ESPN has to fill up the air-time covering tennis and golf in excruciating detail.

> And the colormap should be easy to read with color blindness (so the blue/green one is not good)

Well, blue/green or blue/red are actually the most acceptable scales to use, since most colorblind people only have problems distinguishing red and green, while for most of the others blue is very dark so the scale still works somewhat. The others are a very, very small minority that will already be used to use various tools to enhance their vision.
