I ask this with the presumption that there is an answer, but the linked web page does not provide it: Why create this library?

I won't deny I'm also asking this because I do not personally see a reason... after all, I wouldn't ask if it were obvious to me. But I really don't understand what this is good for; it seems like binding Erlang to a Python library bound to underlying C and assembler code is doing nothing but bringing you disadvantage to accessing the Python with no corresponding advantage I can see; for instance, it isn't obvious to me that you can get any utility from Erlang's multiprocessor capabilities. It seems like, even on Erlang's terms, you'd be better off writing a Python program that does your task with numpy or scipy and having Erlang pipe whatever data it may be in possession of to a Python process in some more conventional fashion.

But I'm interested in whatever answer there may be. (Seriously.)

I'm guessing that figuring out whether it's a tmpfs filesystem is a tricky thing in a cross-platform way (i.e. acceptable for acceptance into the upstream tool sources). It might actually be more appropriate to keep this special use case as a separate tool, rather than add extra branches and special cases to the main cp tool.

Typescript seriously needs to start getting its act together. The roadmap shows they're making some headway on these new es6 features, but it feels like they're trying to both accept it for es6 output mode, and for es3/es5 output mode. This means further delays, during which period we can't use them at all.

And because typescript != javascript, we can't use any other tools, either. TS is duplicating the 6to5 efforts, with little to show for it.

If you use TS, right now you're stuck with es5. It's starting to itch.

I wish they'd prioritize the es6 features in es6 output mode and let me worry about converting that to es5.

Apple acquired CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) which is still used by a lot of Linux distros (like Ubuntu and Fedora).

CUPS was bought by Apple in 2007 and continues to have open source releases and continues to be used by major Linux distros.

For FoundationDB, there isn't really the same market. Most sites don't need a distributed database. People that run sites is already niche and people that run sites trafficked enough to require a distributed database is even more niche. I use HBase and Kafka a lot and there are definitely high-profile users of the software, but it's nowhere near the number of users of MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Maybe Apple will look at FoundationDB as something where open-source in no way hurts them and gets them free development. Google won't be replacing F1/Spanner with it so it's not much help to what a lot of people would consider Apple's largest competition. Plus, open-source could help make it better.
One of their engineers gave a great talk at Strangeloop (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4fFDFbi3toc) that shows some of the amazing simulations they ran FoundationDB through. It's well worth a watch if you want to understand the punishment that they put this database through to make it stand out.
The claim the author leads off with is not plausible: capitalism has seen enormous changes in social relations since its earliest days.

The author is a sociologist, not an economic historian, but they should still be aware of that economic historians (even ones on the Left) tend to place the emergence of capitalism sometime in the 1600's, and break it up into multiple phases, each of which is embodied by significantly different social relations.

Once upon various times anti-capitalists proclaimed that unionization, emancipation, universal suffrage (giving the vote to all men rather than just men of property), women's suffrage, labour parties and social democracy would all overthrow the capitalist order precisely because these were seen as radical departures from existing social relations upon which capitalism was presumed to depend.

Instead, capitalism has proven an enormously resilient mode of economic organization that can be instantiated in societies with extremely different social relations.

So the claim that the modern worker in a mature capitalist society like Sweden or Canada or Germany (to pick a few at random) stands in the same social relationship to their employer as did workers in 17th century Amsterdam or 18th century London or 19th century New York or 20th century Shanghai is extremely implausible.

To further claim that social relations in the future must remain as they are today for the preservation of the capitalism mode of economic organization is equally implausible.
I have used this idiom to great results in my project (https://github.com/raksoras/luaw). Basically, request:read() hooks up into libuv (node.js' excellent async IO library) event loop and then yields. Server is now free to run next coroutine. When socket underlying the first request is ready with data to read libuv event loop's callback gets fired and resumes original coroutine.
Note this: "However, Apple eventually began shipping all Apple IIs with 48k following a drop in RAM prices and so this was no longer an issue. "

The 16k/32k/48k that apple shipped was the total ram in the machine. VisiCalc had to fit there to - no swapping/overlay was employed.

26(cols)1K(rows)2(bytes) is already 52KB. They were obviously storing things more sparsely than that - I think it was 100 rows or even less (which, at 2 bytes/cell would be in line with your 5K estimate).

However, 2 bytes is not enough for floating point values, and cells could also contain text. Whatever it was, it was more complicated than the simplest array, though probably not by much.
Datomic is closed source and has features that no open source database currently offers. In particular, it's a time series database of immutable/append-only facts, so its horizontal read scalability is excellent, but it's still ACID and supports joins.

So you buy the $8 wine and the $30 wine. Since it's almost certain all the wine from the same batch is going to be similar quality. If you get a good $8 bottle you go back the next day and buy a couple cases of the good/ cheap stuff. If the cheap stuff is not-so-good, drink the $30 wine and use the cheap stuff to cook with.

This way you are guaranteed good wine.

> Have you done much testing with long range and non line-of-sight transmission?

Not much. I tested this today at home and ggwave does not perform too bad. Even without direct line-of-sight it is still able to pick up the data. Hard to give quantitative description of the performance - it's good enough to make me satisfied :)

> Oh also it'd be nice to compare notes about mobile devices sometimes. At least for Quiet I've found the transmission quality is very dependent on specifically how the mic/speakers are set up and it can be tricky to avoid hidden resamplers and noise cancelation.

True. I am still not sure if noise cancellation helps or not. I guess it also depends on the noise cancellation implementation. When running in a browser, I usually disable it.
Dithering has always given me the most incredibly overwhelming nostalgia, to the point where it’s emotionally moving. No doubt because my first computer was a Macintosh SE and it tickles all the right memories, but there’s something more to it, the technical impressiveness of how damn well it works to add realism with so few colours.

> It is actually completely unacceptable on what is advertised as a secure platform to engage in targeted marketing AT ALL. If any information about what my company is doing on your platform is shared to other companies, then you are not secure by any definition of the word that I'm aware of. It is not for you to judge what information is valuable or damaging for us.

Security and data sharing have nothing in common. It is perfectly acceptable to share customers list when you are resellers if you clearly state you will do so in the contract. It doesn't become true because you write it in all cap and say it is not for me to judge. If you so value your company information, maybe you should start reading what you sign.

Once again, we are not talking about an unreadable EULA for personal software. Azure is a platform geared towards professional. Nothing creepy is happening here. That's Canonical reaching out and giving a potential customer a point of contact if they ever need support. This has nothing to do with broad data collection and spying and is perfectly reasonable. I don't understand why some commenters here find the idea of talking with an actual human being so traumatic.

>So intergalactic space is “crowded” compared to, say, the vacuums at CERN

I vaguely recall Sam's Laser FAQ claimed that terrestrial vacuum pumps couldn't do as well as outer space, due to outgassing of materials and diffusion through vacuum chamber walls.

The CERN page on the LHC vacuum system says it gets down to 10^-13 atmospheres. https://home.cern/science/engineering/vacuum-empty-interstel... The wikipedia article on vacuum gives a range for "deep space" from 10^-10 to 10^-20. Interstellar, but maybe not intergalactic.
Thank you.

I thought I was replying to the arguement set forth by the person I was replying to, but I guess that's not what is meant.

Perhaps it means respond to the facts of the content and not how it was delivered? If that's the case, I think the rules should be clarified? @dang

I thought that being critical of one's opinion was not appropriate, so I was calling it out with my original comment. I guess I should have just flagged and moved on. It seems a shame though to not give the responder a chance to learn and grow though. That's why I asked for feedback, so that I could learn and grow. I think that's what many of us want from this website in addition to just otherwise boring tech news?

I am well aware of the various ways to look at statistics. Average vs median wages, equal pay vs comparable pay, etc. However, before you get angry, please consider that the argument works the other way too. For example, the statistic that advertises that about half the managerial jobs are taken by women is heavily skewed by jobs that are managerial only in the sense that there is a managerial title such as a shift manager at McDonalds, loan officer, etc, whereas if we take executive positions the number is well below 20%. There are many ways you can manipulate the numbers to support both sides of the argument, but whichever way you spin it, can we agree on something we all know - that white guys make more than women or non-whites overall? In other words, if you don't like that I used 3 quarters in my example, would it really be much different if you had 9 dimes, or would you still be laughed out of the aforementioned McDonalds?

Of course my point was not the 75 cents to a dollar ratio. My point was, the original poster implied that they (women|brown people|whatever) rally against us (white males) because they are a bunch of whiny jealous sissies. So, as one of them, I'd simply like to state that we are not against you (in fact we like you very much!) and we are well adjusted, thank you very much. You can use belittling words such as "heartwrenching" or "inferiority complex" all you want but it doesn't make any difference. A dollar is a dollar, and a bunch of change is a bunch of change.

P.S. Not surprisingly, to support your argument, you linked to a guy who is so gender-angry that he maintains a blog whose sole topic of discussion is how men are short-changed by the modern society. Just look at his table of content: "American Women Resorting to Desperate Measures", "A Life System Support For A Penis". I mean, the guys blames women's lib for teens having oral sex for chrissakes:

Long time Android user here! (G2, Nexus One, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4).

After several years of hoping Android would get its shit together, I switched to a 5S and got my wife an iPhone 6.

I have minor quibbles: No Google Calendar App. Google service push notifications seem a tad slower on the iPhone. But the experience is just so much better.

I am by no means a fan boi. I am a fan (as an infrastructure engineer with real problems to solve) of my phone just working, without factory resets, reboots, etc. The iPhone, to my chagrin, does exactly that.
Huh? you can push from your local repo to the remote, and it makes partial commits and other stuff a lot easier
My thought is that one post per week, seems like a blog platform rather than a social app. Social media is too vague. Maybe you could remove the concept of being a social media, but a diary sharing platform. Define the task as to share a weekly diary among friends, it could gives more commitment for people to write.
I haven't missed that point, see my comment to heavyset. It's not possible to cover every topic in these posts. If you want a more extensive view of my thoughs on these matters then you could search through my long-winded boring posts on the opioid epidemic, oxycontin, Purdue and the Sacklers and the miscarriage of justice - and the abject failure of the FDA to stop the epidemic (there are many of them). Better still, just take my word that I'm well aware of the issues.

I will disagree with you over the matter of the 2%. This extra ethanol does make a considerable difference and has been shown to do so for a number of reasons some quite complex that I cannot do justice to here. However, I'll mention a quick one for starters: the extra few percent spitit is significant as it often masks the high level of acids in young wine (malic, latic, bytric, sorbic, tartaric, etc.) with the consequence that many people drink considerably more wine in one go. Thus, they not only get the extra 2% ethanol but also an addotional amount from the extra wine they've consumed (and remember this wine already 2% stronger).

The acid levels drops significantly in older wines that have been left to age so that problem doesn't happen with them. Winemakers now actively cultivate and promote this high-alcohol, soft-style wine and they've been very successful in doing so over the last 30 or so years. It saves huge inventories of wine from being stored by over three years or more (there's much saved moolah there).

This then actively discourages research into producing flavorsome wines with much lower alcohol (at present, reducing the ethanol content to 10% or lower makes the wine thinnish in character and it spoils easily). Much oenological research is needed to boost the body and flavor in low alcohol wines and at the moment there's precious little incentive to provide money for this research. It urgently needs government intervention and regulation to overcome the problem.

BTW, decades ago I worked in a vinyard/winery for a short while.
The real stinker of a rule is that they prefer media sources to first-hand accounts or direct sources. For example: an article about Linux CANNOT link to posts Linus himself has made on forums, but CAN link to media articles that get his posts incorrect. Then, because the editors enforce this real crap rule, you can have an article that lists the media opinion about some Linux component but you CAN’T even INCLUDE what Linus wrote!
It is unchecked madness.
Barbecue Pit Controller. Controls a temp sensor and fan on a smoker to maintain temp. I do embedded HW all day and just kept thinking, why buy this I can make this.

But I never made one. So I finally bought one and it was the best value for money for anything I've ever purchased.

With this I no longer have to keep a close watch on the smoker. I can't sleep with out checking it in the middle of the night, I can run errands during the day. This lets me run the smoker more often and in weather I normally wouldn't.

I can and occasionally do still control the temp manually. It still makes for a great lazy day, but I no longer have to get the same results.

> the child object seems to depend on memory that it doesn't own a strong reference to

Exactly. Having made similar types of robotics interfaces myself, the memory graph for OP probably isn't as complicated/cyclic as you might think: multiple types of frames (at various stages of visualization processing) look into each others' memory buffers for efficiency. It's probably best modeled as an acyclic directed graph where frame objects reference (many-to-many) memory buffers. The problem is that unless you abstract out those buffers into garbage-collectible objects themselves, it's very tempting just to pass a weak reference (like a pointer from JNI) to the buffer owned by an EarlyStageFrame to the processing code in a LaterStageFrame. Thus the segfault when the EarlyStageFrame is garbage-collected.
