I think it's fair to say the most important/relevant/defining trait is quite severe difficulties in social functioning, usually characterised by a lack of friends. This is also the one that I nearly always see left out by people who "think they might have it".

I know nothing about her work with ASF, but I knew her briefly when she lived in Portland. She was one of the organizers who create those great tech events this city is known for. I used to attend the weekly brewpup hackathons she organized, and which are still going strong.

I seem to recall that her day job at the time was writing docs for Eucalyptus.

We weren't close, but I can say that she was an interesting, smart, talented, complicated person. Her loss saddens me deeply.

The social identity and open source hosting have strong network effects that would warrant a high valuation. The enterprise functionally has much less network effects and using the power of open source we're able to offer a compelling product for less than $5/month per user. I wonder what other people think, is the value in the GitHub.com offering that has a moat due to the network effects but doesn't generate much revenues or is the value in the enterprise product that generates revenues but has much smaller network effects.

Sure. Show me where words I use have been used by, for example, Nazis when testing their mass killing mechanisms before moving onto Jews and homosexuals. Or where my words have been used to deny people medical treatment; sometime causing the death of those people. Or where my words have been used in hate crime or hate incidents. (Hate incidents based on disability are more common than anti-Semitism in the UK, and anti Semitism is pretty common over here).

Show me the harm and I'll gladly chose differet words.
And that seems fair.

I completely agree but my point is more that the compiler shouldn't be that large even whilst linking and doing whole program optimisation. Proportionately to the size of the output binary the overhead is unreasonably large. Firefox and Chrome for example are problematic due to the architecture. I've built modular applications which compile smaller units (.so's) that are runtime linked using dlopen() etc. Not quite the same scale but this was in a time when the kit was a lot slower.

I'd like to see a return to a simpler time. We can afford to lose some of the optimisations now and produce clean, simple, fast and predictable compilers.

I think Roslyn/RyuJIT on the .Net platform is an example of where this all falls apart: bad tail call optimisation leads to non-determinism in parameter passing. If the compiler consists of lots of code then there are lots of bugs and you can't afford bugs there.

Limit the cost to reasonable costs. What is reasonable? Well, limiting the expense to the lower of the two parties' legal costs would strongly discourage the larger party from spending $500k on the case. And if they do it anyway, they pay for it themselves.

I'm not sure I understand your question, or rather it seems to be more than one question. Yes, Asperger's is a real problem. Yes, some people self-diagnose themselves. Yes, some of these people would not be diagnosed with Asperger's were they to undergo diagnosis by an expert.
Internet network flows take mysterious ways. Well, not really, but it is difficult and there are szenarios where carriers would be different for inbound/outbound traffic to a certain destination.

For All of You Who Think Customer Service Doesn't Require Advanced Skills
I dont really understand the way interviewing is set up in general. Interviewing in my mind is a two-way street. It’s not just the candidate that’s being interviewed for the job, it’s also the employer being interviewed to determine suitability.

In light of this, I think most interview processes don’t make any sense. I think that a screening phone/Skype call makes sense before either side commits any time/resources etc. In this process, I think there should always be room for the candidate to ask questions of the employer. Any situation that is unbalanced, in which the employer is playing the role of the one with the final decision is a completely skewed setup.

I interviewed a while back with a YC company and although I didn’t get the job, I was highly appreciative of the setup. Firstly, there was a Skype/phone call, which felt really like an open conversation; one in which I was free to ask questions and understand suitability too.

Then I was invited to an in-house hack. Essentially, I spent the day (a Saturday) hacking with the founders on a project. The project was a lot of fun and something that I learned a ton from. We actually ended up working till around 4am the next day. What I really appreciated is that although it was “an exam” for me, the investment of time on my part was weighed equally by their time investment. Also, I was happy to know that they had learned things during the hack too. I was at ease during the whole day precisely because they treated me as though I was their colleague already.

Coming out of that experience, I’ve wondered for a while why employers don’t take the stance that to hire excellence you have to commit time and resources. Most interview processes that I’ve heard of seem to be a cop out on the part of the recuiter/interviewer, in the sense that it seems that the priority is to hire the best people but spend the least time doing it. That to me is the ingredient for a broken process.

So, in a nutshell, I think talk of take-home interviews misses the point. It might not be scalable, but my intuition tells me that it would be much more effective to have the interviewee and company folks hack on something together. That way, the interviewee gets the opportunity to essentially interview the company too. I’d definitely preceed this with a few conversations on the phone/in person, to ensure that the time investment of hacking together is geared towards the best interviewee/company relationships.

Perhaps this is missing the point too, and perhaps it’s not workable in the real world. My anecdoctal evidence is simply that have spent an entire Saturday working on a project as part of an interview process and ultimately not getting the job, I don’t feel I wasted any time, nor do I feel bitter about it.
ALPRs are so much better for that. You can't easily spoof the data and you can't pretend you're a good driver by slowing down just before a scanner. I keep wondering why they aren't deployed on every other road everywhere. It sounds like something that would quickly solve the problem of speeding (and related deaths).
It would be much more productive to describe how UDP application protocols can be designed so that they aren't good sources of reflected DDOS.

The words are malevolent because they contribute to a culture where it is acceptable to treat people with LD as sub-human. You don't get to use a word and deny the long history of that word. This is nothing like, for example, the fake etymology of "nitty gritty", or confusion between the word "niggardly" with "like a nigger". The word retard has a long history and is closely associated with oppression and murder.

White people don't get to say "nigga - no, it's okay, I'm not saying nigger!"

The other confusing thing here is that people are asking for the freedom to do what they like with someone else's property, and when that person asks them to modify their behaviour they lose their shit.

This is just github saying "no shirt, no service". What happened to "their servers, their rules"?
>only at these rates that the limits of human perception seem to no longer detect the disparity

IF you use the brute force approach of vomiting pictures in general direction of an eye.

Human vision system is incredibly meager and clever at the same time. Your eye doesnt really capture whole picture all at once, you have a huge blind spot in the middle + part of your nose obscures vision, you can only see sharp shapes in the center and fast movement on the boundaries, data stream consists of shaky blurry fragmented mess. Its the brain that filters and glues it all together into coherent picture.

Example - go to a mirror and look into your eye. Now find another person and look into their eye, you will be surprised to see yours was steady, and theirs is all over the place.
Now check out your blind spot http://io9.com/5804116/why-every-human-has-a-blind-spot---an...

Saccades produce a lot of blurry artefacts that are simply thrown away. I read somewhere brain ignores about 2-3 hours of visual data a day.

We already have incredibly fast micromirrors, I wonder if someone is working on a microprojector that tracks saccades and displays only part of the picture eye is currently fixated at. This would allow constructing high resolution scenes using lower resolution projector. 120 Fov requires >500mpixels, but you can only see ~7mpixels at a time. Quick back of napkin calculation tells be you could bump perceived resolution of Occulus by ~40x

My wife is not a technologist. In fact, she's a biologist & nurse who's worked in pharmacoviligance for a series of pharmas & CROs past ~15 years. She was laid off this spring after her company was purchased and went through the whole interview thing. One company had a writing assignment as part of their process. It was after both the phone screening and the in person interviews, and they only gave it to candidates they really liked/wanted, AND it was literally a mini version of the kind of data analysis and reports[1] she'd be doing in the job.

But ... it was something that took about 40 hours to complete, and ruined about a week and a half of family time. Thankfully she got the job, but if she hadn't it wouldn't have been pretty.

What we need is a big party willing to defend all the small parties.

How about some sort of patent troll insurance that takes over your defense and sues to invalidate the patent? The insurance should cost a smaller amount of money than settlement would cost. The more companies have that insurance, the bigger the defense you can mount, and the lower the costs for everybody are.

The first person sued by the troll immediately takes it to court and wins, invalidating the patent, and ensuring that only one lawsuit will have to be fought and everybody else is safe.

Of course this could mean that a lot of people feel they don't need the insurance because someone else will invalidate the patent for them, but if the list of people and companies protected by this insurance is public, those without it will be the first to be sued. So eventually, everybody will want this insurance, and the trolls will be forced to take it to court every time.

There's got to be a business model in this.
Not many people are neat the centre of the bell curve for ALL attributes (statistically, since attributes are aplenty) and those who are become a small and interesting subset on their own.

> I would like to know what issues you had with it,

Specifically, I wanted "logging" from python; leveled logging handlers, with colors (like colorama) and per-module level permissions.

> as I'm in the middle of building out my own replacement logging package

None of the alternatives did exactly what was needed. And this extended other modules as well. It turned out we would be maintaining forks of all these projects.

If you haven't already, https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go#logging is a good resource.

If the original poster / you do decide to go with golang I wish you the best. It's a great programming language - but you're time spent reinventing the wheel will outweigh golangs benefits over python.

And it's kind of a shame. The benefits of the static type checking, concurrency, compile times, testing, etc.

I can tell you, in every category - at the present moment - golang's available libraries fall short to what you get in python. Not golangs fault, it's just want maturity gives you.

Even things like asserts in python, (assert is even a builtin in python, no need to import unittest!) is non-existant in golang. It's not a "bad" thing.

My outlook for golang it strong - my concern is that you may drain away your runway doing what you should otherwise be doing on freetime.

I think it's just that Moorcock is a bit politically colour blind. He can't tell the difference between conservatism and fascism.

Either that or he's perfectly well aware that Toklien was no kind of fascist and is using the term as a goad. If he said he thought that Tokien was a conservative, nobody would pay any attention and we wouldn't be having this debate. But now we are and I think that was probably his aim, to provoke people into thinking about the differences between their work.

In this case interests were closely aligned. But I take your point.
They might actually do stuff like that, but that's just smoke and mirrors.

It is much easier to mandate a way to run code on modern systems, in the "SMM" style, upon seeing a cryptographic signature which the NSA holds the key across the memory bus. About 20 people in each of Intel, AMD, nVidia, Qualcomm, Apple need to know about it (well paid and NSLd to shut up; perhaps even NSA employees embedded in these companies and the companies themselves none the wiser), about 3000 transistors which would be lost in today's many-billion transistor CPUs. It doesn't have to be fast, and not even perfectly reliable - it just needs to work.

In fact, I'll be astonished if in the future it turns out that such a thing is not already implemented today. Do you really thing the NSA doesn't yet have a copy of Intel's microcode signing keys?
What in that is different, I didn't know they wanted to remove him. You can't really do that. And if you did as an outsider you'd be laughed out.

By the way, the project was Opal, I can't find the issue in question to see. Do you have it?
> Python doesn't even have closures.

So what's this?

>>> x = 1
>>> def f(y): return y + x
...
>>> f(2)
3

EDIT: Note that my example works even if the definition of x and f appear within the definition of another function. If closed-over variables must be mutable then Haskell doesn't have closures!
