It's not out yet, but it's going to be part of Action Menu by Ryan Petrich (http://rpetri.ch).
My favorite style, which I think maps well to functional use, is to have the entirety of game state (including random number seeds, etc.) be in one "world" data structure, call it W. Then, you collect all your input (say, controller axis values) into another structure, I.

So each simulation step takes you from W + I => W' which you hand off to the pre-renderer and the next simulation step. The pre-renderer will combine the game world state with static data (i.e. models and shaders) and produce game-state-free data that a renderer can display to the user.

This is the basic framework I've used for twelve years when I've been able to implement it (i.e. not often at my day job). It's worked really well, but I actually have not applied it in a language that supports purely functional programming. So you can guess why I'm in this thread.
This is specifically what I do not believe about Paul, but I'll spare you further elaboration.

Ack! Name confusion ahead. There is a Duby also already in the Ruby community: https://github.com/headius/duby
From what I can see, they don't have skilled lawyers and have been writing form-letter complaints. They also managed to piss off the judge who is hearing all their complaints.

So, yeah. While in an ordinary case, the judge might be willing to just assume things like commercial use or harm caused by someone copying the story, they're going to have to establish that all by themselves. And it would appear that they've failed to do anything of the sort so far.

I can't imagine that they'll make any money on this case.
Same here.

var _this = this; //vanilla
var $this = $(this); //jQuery

Though, I have encountered people who are really against the $var for stylistic reasons - so ymmv.
Agreed - I'm voting less. Voting seems to have less 'point'. Previously it would feel like voting was (in a minor way) helping the community, by helping to point out to others comments that deserve reading. Now only the comment writers see the score, it feels voting up is only to 'reward' the writer with a bit of karma. To me it devalues what karma is about and makes it feel very selfish. Its lost its value to the community. Whilst karma influences the top comment, this doesn't seem enough to make it valuable enough to vote regularly.
but now there is less anchoring bias

I think this is a large one. I've been participating more in discussions lately because the content seems more thoughtful.

How do I know what's important without vote counts?

Read and decide what is good and what is bad. For posters, being concise helps people reading. The higher voted comments should move to the top like in the past(?) Forcing both sides to be more thoughtful makes the quality content and participation better.
My given comment score average has plummetted yet bizarrely my actual average comment score is higher than the average before the alteration (due to one or two over-regarded comments).

https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/241-heat-pumps-and...

Heat pumps use a small amount of energy to move thermal energy, but it's much more efficient than resistive heat. But if they can't move enough heat, they fall back to resistive heat to top it up.
That sounds more interesting than what it's going to become: a massive collection of literal echo chambers.
Speaking of domain-driven design, the author of this article wrote a great book called 'Domain Modeling Made Functional', which I heartily recommend (even if you don't have a specific interest in learning F#) https://www.amazon.com/Domain-Modeling-Made-Functional-Domai...
Clubhouse is the most amazing thing that happened to social MEDIA. Its a much better way to discuss even difficult subjects because it keeps most people much more humble and provide the ability to much better deal with conflict and disagreements. Most social media isnt builtt for disagreements, audio definitely is. The quality of some of these rooms like the Small Steps Giant Leaps about space technology and VC is amazing. Or the AI/ML room which goes on for days is extreme informative. Dont be a hater, try it out and DM me if you want tricks for how to curate your feed.
> Powerful people will still be held in check by public opinion, market forces, and other powerful people. We don't need a centralized MiniTrue gatekeeping with its own agenda.

Actually, in the absence of the professional journalism, they'll be "held in check" by things like QAnon and "Stop the Steal," fueled by things like partisan talk radio.

The media isn't a "centralized MiniTrue" (I mean that's obvious), it's just industry where people with the profession of gathering and disseminating information work. It's taken time to develop professional standards, and if it's destroyed, the main thing that would be destroyed are those standards.
Well what if East India Company did not come to India, what if Turks did not invade India it would go on. Anyway Churchill's polices led to famine, which could have been avoided. His attitude towards India can be considered as racist.
They don’t know about any deductions you might have though. If you’re not itemizing I guess that’s fine but for us that have a lot more stuff being written off it’s impossible for it to just be a bill.

That said there are ways they could build around it but it’s the IRS so that’ll never happen.
>Great, another billionaire with no relevant education

I don't understand this attitude. Firstly, it asserts that expertise can only come from formal education (which is flawed). And secondly, this man has spent the better part of two decades focused on combating climate change, including investing in and serving on the board of companies whose mission it is to combat climate change in one form or another. I would think he's learned a thing or two.
Sorry if this is politically incorrect. I say this respectfully and with the hope that it would be useful to someone who reads it:

People typically save money for their kids. The 'mothering' or 'fathering' instincts are so strong that we protect resources for our progenys.
It appears that Tim Cook may never have a real progency. So what will he do with all this money? He could give it to his nephew. Maybe. He gets a thank you card from them. But his 'parenting' instincts are not triggered by it. So he has to do something else with it, like donating it to Charity.
MIDI is just a protocol, it specifies how to encode the inputs from a controller, but doesn't say anything about how to model/synthesize/sample sounds.

controller --[midi messages]--> synth --[real audio signals]--> speakers

I'm not aware of any alternatives to MIDI, so if you want to make live synth music with any controller, you'll probably have to deal with it :-). MIDI is so pervasive that working with it is pretty much transparent, in the same vein you don't have to do anything special to use your computer keyboard or mouse.
>However, a computer tablet was beyond 1970s technology to even analyze, let alone duplicate.

I doubt they'd be able to duplicate it, since there's a whole manufacturing infrastructure they'd have to duplicate first. But I doubt they'd have any trouble analyzing it. By 1970 they had integrated circuits, and there were people who were already looking ahead to the possibilities. It's not that hard to pop the plastic off of an IC and look at it with a microscope.

Based on the gestalt of the time, they'd probably look at the tablet and think you should have something more advanced by 2015.
Yep, a higher voltage is negotiated. At 100W, it's 20V:

I find your argument disingenuous, since these people were likely hired before these new regulations were in place.
Does this really work? I've Googled around, and it looks like some/most of the junk mail you do this to won't actually make it back to the sender, but will just be disposed of by the post office.
I'm not sure that strategy would work. Her only recourse would be to file DMCA take down notices on unauthorized content uploads. As long as Google complied with the take down process, they could not be sued.

If she doesn't file a DMCA, they could not be sued.

Google isn't held accountable for the uploads of their as long as they follow those rules. Remember, if they _could_ be sued solely for content appearing on their site and even if no take down was filed Youtube (or any other content site) would likely not exist as they would have been sued out of business long ago.
I wonder what beliefs we have now that will be ridiculed in 500 years.
1. in 0.4.x, no -- but you can have a buffer (say, scratchpad.py) and evaluate the whole buffer. This is a workflow I find more useful than an ipython session (although it's a little lame not having tab-completion and whatnot for inspecting unknown modules). I've not tried 0.5.x yet :).

2. Yes!
This was another great post. I hope to see you do an Ethernet chip/card post in the future. I had a couple question about the following:

>"The block diagram below shows the complex functionality of the chip. Starting in the upper right, the analog front end circuitry communicates with the ring. The analog front end extracts the clock and data from the network signals."

Do all non-optical network cards have a similar analog circuit as well? Is this generally the transceiver chip on the card?

>"The chip's logic is implemented with a CMOS standard cell library and consists of about 24,000 gates. The idea of standard-cell logic is that each function (such as a NAND gate or latch) has a standard layout."

Are these cell libraries the same as an IP block that you would license today when designing a chip? Did cell libraries become common around the time of this chip?
Did you watch the video on Cued Speech? It's not a set of signs for common phrases at all. It's simply a small set of gestures that accompany some of the hard-to-lip-read sounds, like /m/ /p/ /b/.

So if you're saying "mat" "bat" or "pat" those all look the same to a lip-reader. With the cues, you have a small gesture that is distinct for /m/ /p/ /b/.

They combine together to make a total of about a dozen gestures that can be used to differentiate between any hard-to-understand English word.

So it's not a phrase book. It just allows you to say anything you want to say and be understood a little more clearly by a lip-reader.
The way I understand it is that you don't necessarily actually have to rewind anything, just that destroying information is what causes the extra energy need and is therefore not allowed.

The principle is already in use in areas like differential signalling, where a single bit is transmitted on 2 lines at the same time: 0 as (0,1), 1 as (1,0), so that the total charge in the circuit never changes. In simple signalling like SPI, there is only one line, and the system has a different charge depending on the transmitted value, so the charge has to be fed into and removed from the system all the time.

As for quantum computing, reversibility is coming as a direct consequence of the inability to either destroy or copy quantum states (which ends up being two aspects of the same thing).

The FCC actually seems more captured than congress. The head of the FCC is a former lobbyist for ISPs and Telcos.
500 commits and the tests and examples seem bare. I don't really like the look of that tbh.
Hmm, I don't know C#; the method wasn't encapsulated in a class, so I assumed it was some kind of global. It could be that this isn't an actual input/output sample, but rather just one method of a compiled class.
I know, but both lex and yacc use the %% division in similar ways; that is why I mentioned it.

Simply put, your "definitions" are not stuff that is done before pattern-action rules, and "user routines" are not stuff that is done after EOF. It's all just stuff that is declared. Both sections can contain code, and that code can be called out from the pattern rules. Either section could contain a main function that calls yylex. If the lexer is reentrant, it could be re-entered from any of those places. And so on. Fact is, the %% division has nothing to do with processing order, unlike BEGIN and END in Awk.
Do you really think the intention here is for more competition? Perhaps this is more regulatory capture?
As long as networks continue to be centralized at large hubs like Google, Facebook, Belgacom, etc. this will continue to be a problem. Break things up and make them less centralized and all of a sudden it is much harder to do all this.
Has anyone considered the grameen model of peer pressure lending in P2p marketplaces?

You signup with your facebook account, it records all the details of your facebook friends, and if you go into default on your loan for more than 3 payments then it starts contacting your facebook friends automatically and stating that unfortunately you were unable to keep up with your debts and could your friends chip in some money to help cover things??

the threat of losing face would probably decrease default rates significantly, therefore allowing a decreased interest rate to be charged.
I didn't get that far in math, but in physics classes after Junior Physics Lab , I once or twice questioned the assumptions. There's always a theorem you don't know about.

There is a lot to math.

This is a consistent taking point among the more egregious parts of the “lockdown skeptic” crew and it is, of course, absolute bullshit - it’s based on shallow comparisons of numbers that are not comparable.

If you do decide to promote this talking point anyway, flag it with the appropriate disclaimer from the NHS:

…caution should be exercised in comparing overall occupancy rates between this year and previous years. In general hospitals will experience capacity pressures at lower overall occupancy rates than would previously have been the case.

I'm surprised by how many people are happy with Twitter censoring the president. Censorship is not OK. It's totally disproportionate.

The freedom and well being of 320+ million people is far more important than a few buildings and a semblance of law and order. The system is harming people's mental health and the system needs to be reformed to fix this. Suppression and censorship is not going to solve anything.
As I understand it, Apple have a direct equivalent to Intel's AMX as an undocumented instruction set on their new Apple Silicon laptop processors, it just took a while for people to figure it out because the whole thing was hidden behind an acceleration library that is implemented very differently on Intel-based Macs.
Not at all, Facebook does the best job out of any FAANG at promoting, and most E5+ are internal promoted. External E5 hires are less common, external E6 hires are rare.
I think there is the effect of weeding out people with strong technical skill but low focus on “people” skills (not talking about jerks, just people who don’t play politics).

Honestly I don’t think it’s a good trend or that it’s unavoidable.

We shouldn’t look at the world today and take it straight as a lesson of what should be done. A bit like saying being gorgeous, extrovert and good negociator is the key to success, it sure can be but it shouldn’t be the goal of everyone.
:facepalm: Yes
you seem to be protesting too much. I think it's entirely reasonable for a tech company to ask for code, even if you can describe the algorithm in plain english. Surely writing the code is significantly less than the effort you're expending right now to demonstrate to us why they are unreasonable?
So I'd recommend Ny-Ålesund (but be prepared for a very long and uncomfortable boat trip if you go there and back in a day) plus the Soviet ghost town Piramida - remember to take your passport as you can get it stamped with a Russian stamp without having to get a visa! I forgot mine.

Safety wise, if you are afraid of bears you need to be confident enough to handle flares, a large handgun and a large calibre hunting rifle. There are alot of bears, I saw three while I was there though none were close to major settlements.

We did get shown sole CCTV footage from the dock where a bear came down and broke into and ate a crate of frozen whale meat off the dock, that was fun.

Oh and take or get a Greenland dog from one of the kennels to go with you anywhere - they can tell when a bear is near. They aren't pets though, don't expect them to behave like a lapdog.

If you like beer be prepared to take quite some money for it.
> These algorithms should probably be public. And any system which cannot be transparently explained should be shut down.

But what would even count as an explanation, and what does a "public" algorithm reveal?

There is no line of code that says "if (video.content == extreme) { show_to(EVERYONE) }".

A lot of the dangers are possible from a simple algorithm which merely performs A/B testing on whether a certain (randomly chosen, at first) video increases the amount of time a user spends on a site.

You could pass a law against A/B testing, or require companies to provide deliberately bad suggestions to make their users frustrated, but I'm not sure if that is a proportionate legislative response.
I guess free will just means that making a decision is a chaotic process that can broadly be influenced from the outside but in the end can not be preditected up to the moment the result is observed. This then in turn is observed as in that the decision was not completely determined by an outside signal so it is concluded that it must have been free.
Anticipating the cold snap, my wife ordered insulating curtains for the big windows on the front of the house, to hang behind the decorative ones.

For what it's worth, I don't think Steve Jobs would have ever allowed the charging port for the Magic Mouse to ever be on the bottom and forced the user to have to leave the mouse on it's side to charge.
If you have to subsidize something, you only want to subsidize as much as necessary. Farmers can get their subsidies. A remote worker moving out of SF with a fat paycheck doesn't need the subsidy.
If this is a rule, it actually is unwritten. There's nothing in the guidelines that says to upvote instead of writing "I agree" comments.

Do you know what a socialist even is? Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

Your sentence woudl be acceptable if you said "left-leaning people" as opposed to equating everything to political left with socialism. And even then, you'd need to specify which country you're talking about; for example, compare the UK's nationalized healthcare with the USA's current attempt.
"You'll earn upgrades as we move from genotyping to full sequencing" -- so AFAIK, right now 23andme are comparing your DNA data to the one of the human genome project and providing you with the percentage of how many people from genome project, having similar DNA sequences, had one disease or another. I wonder, once the sequencing advances, will the info provided by 23andme be detailed enough so to take the full advantage of the new methodologies of sequencing? In other words - will the science of genetics improve only in the interpretation of the DNA data, or in collecting more detailed DNA data as well?
I've heard this complaint before, and it puzzles me. Figuring out the odd physical rules (to manipulate them) is almost the entirety of the game. If you don't enjoy the physics, then you don't enjoy the game, but blaming the physics for your non-enjoyment is like criticizing Pac-Man because you die when you run into a ghost.
