"So far, only Rust has a good story on concurrency thanks to its type system."

In the strongest sense of that phrase, Erlang and Haskell also have extremely strong concurrency stories, in that each in their own way, they forbid the most common mistakes. It's hard to compare which of these is "better" or "stronger" though since they all differ so much in how they approach the matter.

There are a number of other languages that can make claims to having a reasonable "concurrency story" if you combine the language with certain practices, which permits writing concurrent code in a reasonable fashion (i.e., not a disaster of locks), but that technically aren't necessarily better than C. D may fit in there. It may sound vacuous to say this, because you could always just port those practices back to an older language, and indeed, you can, but the community default matters because of the resulting library support. (Prime case study: Twisted and Python, with the way Twisted required essentially its own version of many significant bits of Python functionality to work in its environment; it could never completely take off because it was at such variance with what the community did by default.)

This class of languages is a more populated area, since it turns out while concurrent programming is never going to be completely trivial IMHO, the exponential complexity explosion of pure mutex-based systems that was such a disaster in the 1990s and early 2000s is more a problem of the primitives used to address the problem than the languages themselves. Mutexes are an invaluable tool, but not suitable as the "base" abstraction that programmers actually use.
Useful counterpoint: Hipmunk.
I guess cluster nodes should be scheduled to be taken down for random amounts of time so that they fail in sequence more gracefully.

Have an “off on weekends” node. And 24/7 nodes.
While I don't really agree with the author on this point, I think the basis of the claim is implied to be the election of Trump. Trump prevailing in the primary (and the general even) could be seen as a referendum of the working class on establishment politics.

And yet, what has changed? Trump hasn't brought back American industry as promised, nor has he made a trillion dollars infrastructure package as promised. He has succeeded in a tax plan (approved by establishment Republicans in the Senate), supreme Court picks (approved), etc.

The authors argument would be that this illustrates that picking the occasional anti establishment candidate doesn't uproot necessary structural change which happens across a large number of both elected and nonelected organizations, and well-connected elites are implied to be the only ones in a position to affect such change.
The CKKS paper that describes the crypto scheme I'm using is described here: [1]. The paper is decently readable, but frankly I feel that it doesn't really convey much intuition and it's a bit hard to follow if you don't have an algebraic number theory background. Probably the correct thing to do is to read the original BGV paper [2], which is still quite technical of course, but at least doesn't implicitly assume all the development that has happened since then. Once you've gotten the basics, I have an overview that focuses more on the practical aspects of how it works in the documentation [3]. I've also written an overview of how CKKS works, in which I've tried to highlight what the two main ideas of CKKS are compared to earlier schemes [4]. Let me know if you were looking for something else.

I wasn't aware .NET was that highly regarded. It's a decent platform, but far from the holy grail of development environments.
Interesting because I only heard of meerkat starting about two weeks ago during SXSW. It seemed like it was everywhere, but not because of headlines, because I kept seeing [LIVE NOW] on all these tweets. Too bad all those links just went nowhere because I was too late.

Funny cause this week I saw Jim Gaffigan post a sernies of meerkat videos onto youtube. I thought, well doesn't that defeat the purpose of a snapchat style broadcast - if someone wants to save it? Clearly I wasn't the only one.
All functions take up at least 16 bytes, for alignment reasons I assume. The space that isn't used just gets filled with zeroes.

What Auden couldn't find
On hornbooks or in verses
Is whether it is our condition
Only stirring with the curses
Aside from Tolkien's poetry in-world poetry, my favorite is probably Tennyson. Ulysses in particular is awesome. This is the final stanza.

There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:
There gloom the dark, broad seas. My mariners,
Souls that have toil'd, and wrought, and thought with me—
That ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, free foreheads—you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Seamus Heaney & Patrick Kavanagh

Heaney was a literary genius. Kavanagh was a master at capturing the bleak reality of working class Ireland.

Both very different in their own right but both are prime examples of the immense variety within Irish poetry.
“But what about human reasoning is truly a human-unique feature and what aspects are shared with our nonhuman relatives?"

Doesn't it make sense that much of human cognition is shared by other animals? We share common ancestors and countless physical traits.
Awesome. Yea, give it a shot. Would love to hear your thoughts and learn about how your recipient reacted.

Super pumped for 4/1.
(Whoops, I've misunderstood you twice. I think my other reply answered the wrong question. Let me try again.)

I didn't say synchronization can prevent EA. I said that calling a finalizer on an application thread can defeat the mutual exclusion that would usually be guaranteed by Java's locking. If the app thread holds a monitor when the finalizer is called, that would usually make the finalizer block until the app exits the monitor. If they're on the same thread, that becomes a recursive monitor enter on the same thread, which doesn't block.

Even if you and I solve this particular problem, these are only the problems that occurred to me off the top of my head. With these kinds of subtle, thorny issues lurking around every corner, I wouldn't expect JIT development teams to give this any real attention unless there's some workload where it matters.

[These are my personal opinions, not those of my employer.]
Most of my friends (both male and female) complain about dating apps. It may be highly local problem though, related to the culture of the city I live in. Usually when travelling I noticed it worked much better for me.
Yeah, sounds like you need the "contact us" tier. I think your current solution is better for your needs.
Have you read the actual lawsuits which were filed? You are aware the "60 lawsuits being dismissed" is a lie right? Trump campaign only filed 5 lawsuits. The Georgia lawsuit still hasn't even had a judge assigned even though it was filed on December 4th. The TX lawsuit to the SCOTUS - they refused to even hear it.

So how exactly can you say "illegitimate claims been promoted as legitimate"?

Thousands of dead people, illegals, underage voters, poll watchers getting kicked out etc and they still want people to believe everything is normal?

Here's an entire list of dead voters from Michigan alone and their obituaries:

It sounds like MI has now purged the data to hide evidence. Here's the data which was even retrieved using a script.

I even have saved messages of me showing this to multiple friends of mine.

No, the two dead voters you mentioned is firstly NOT from Michigan, it's from Georgia. Also that two dead voters is also wrong. It's thousands in Georgia but the SOS (who is a Trump hater) refused to even give the list of voters. So they expect the public to just take their word without showing the actual voter rolls. "Trust me, everything's fine, nothing to see here, move along".

I don’t think you need to put moral or political judgments on this. As I understand (and I have not really done my homework here), there are two reasonably objective distinctions here:

1. The BLM protests were planned, in public at least, as peaceful protests. Things went wrong and they didn’t all end up peaceful and law-abiding, but I did not see any reports of people using major internet platforms to plan to start riots or cause property damage. The reports of planning of the DC riots on Parler, in contrast, seem to have been quite explicit about the intent.

2. (In my mind rather less clear cut.) The BLM protests were not based on objective lies. The DC riots were. Ignore all the people saying there was no proof of widespread voter fraud — that’s like people saying that there is no strong evidence that MSG causes headaches. In fact, there isn’t even a reason to suspect widespread voter fraud. The proponents of the fraud theory have, when they’ve presented evidence at all, presented comically weak evidence. The theory is obvious BS.
I think that's basically true of the all the triple letters too - partly why the idea that the FBI investigating the trump's being a liberal stitch-up is so vacuous.
I think economics are the best candidate to force it. Until IPv4 addresses get actually scarce, in a practical way that directly impacts people (not just a future, we gotta solve this eventually way), people won't feel the heat.

And before now, there were still some unused addresses available. We've just begun the phase where we have to scrounge for loose change in the couch cushions. Previously there was money in the wallet. (Only a little, but that's what you use first.)

My guess is scrounging will initially be easy. Then it will get gradually harder, until eventually it becomes easier to just use IPv6, and then people will switch over.
"no u"

It would be funny if it weren't so sad. Good luck.
What are you checking books for? Run experiments. Don’t go to your books about dropping weights off Pisa, just _drop weights off Pisa_. I don’t care what people are certain of: either those weights fall independently of their mass or don’t. If you are treating it like philosophy instead of science, you’ve already lost the thread.
From my perspective, it is a session cookie + some other verifiable attributes. For instance if you are using OAuth you can include the OAuth client ID in the JWT. Now you don't need to look it up each time.
Why are record companies still attractive to musicians today?

In the past, selling music meant having access to capital equipment (the vinyl presses), access to marketing budgets, and access to the record shop inventories.

Now, music can "pressed" for free by Spotify, Apple Music et all, shelf space is not limited (computer storage is cheap!), and the marketing can be done online more cheaply (I assume).

With all these stories of successful artists in the past (like Erroll Garner) and in the present (like Taylor Swift) being chained by their record companies, why do present day artists sign with a record label?

I'm sure I'm missing some key facet of the business, what is it?
Right now it's iron but give it time!
I'm a pretty expert Photoshop user, and I see it as similar to the command-line. It's not intuitive to a brand new user, but once you get it, it's incredibly efficient and productive. I think this is appropriate for a professional tool.
I find I can't eat soon after waking up - I'm simply not hungry at the start of the day and I find I get indigestion if I eat irrespective of that (which happens occasionally due to well meaning people nagging me to have some breakfast).

This means that I usually (on working days at least) miss breakfast. I don't have any particular health problems that might relate to this so I presume that this is healthy enough.
As another poster mentioned, fast during the morning hours and you should be fine. There is no problem with night eating, I do it all the time. I fast while I'm at work -- keep moving around, keep yourself oriented on tasks, and the next thing you know it's 2 o'clock. Most days I try to get a 16 hour fast in, but it all depends (Lunch meetings with clients can sometimes throw a wrench in things)
I visited the site couple of days back. Seems like they've revamped this section. Looks better. Looking forward to more content.
A rule of thumb I use for dealing with pronouncements from the government: If it's bad news, it's actually twice as bad as they say it is. If it's good news, it's actually half as good as they said. Thus far, it's proven reasonably accurate.
No, the spec is saying don't issue a request at all for "at least" 10ms. "At least" because you might have to wait longer, who knows how long, until it's safe to issue a request without triggering a disconnect.
I heard this on the radio, and my thinking was: ok... this doesn't seem relevant to the Manning story. More like a side show.
Intelligence and consciousness are not synonymous at all. As for the month-old babies (or a boxer knocked unconscious - not as cute, but still ;) ), I think consciousness in this context should be understood as something specific of our species as such, rather than of any individual in particular.
Well, it's up to you to use your own gym membership. If you sign up and don't use your membership, that is ultimately your problem. These new blogging platforms are like different gyms you can sign up for. Whether you exercise or not, at least do it at a gym you like.

I think it's nice to see a variety of self-made blogging platforms come around. Not only do we bloggers get our pick of the litter but it shows how some languages/frameworks work in creating something conventional like a blog. I agree that is seems to have become some sort of rite of passage.
Why?

I'm not for reference.
Unrealistic deadlines and sales reps promising features to clients is a large part of the problem. Get the changes in, test the usability, and ship it. Get it out to the client pronto. We have an earnings report due by X date and this will help the bottom line.

It's not that devs and DBAs don't care, it's that in many cases (not all) they aren't given the time to carefully test the system to see how it might be abused.

And also, many companies view security testing as an afterthought or an audit requirement. If they do not have to do it (time is money) they won't. And when they are forced to do it, they rush through it.

In some ways this is a philosophical fight between a group that wants to ship software and make a profit and a group that wants to design and test systems to make sure they are correct. Suits vs technologists.

It makes me happy and amused to hear langauge chauvanism from a non-european! Why am I not-surprised to learn that chinese sounds perfectly logical to a native speaker!

The examples he gives are quite bogus though - how would someone without the experience in chinese learn that a "bus" is a "public wagon" instead of a "fat car" or a "wheeled boat" or a "shared ride"? Is there some rule you can learn?

I've also been trying to learn the german language and there are many many examples of compounds like this - I have made up many that are completely logical to me, but get only confused looks from people. e.g. "einziehen" is to settle-in but "ausziehen" is to remove your clothes.

"chandelier" is actually quite logical if you follow the historical emergence of the word from the french word for "candlestick"
As someone who grew up in a Chinese-speaking household, I've noticed the same thing. E.g., lobster is "dragon shrimp," computer is "electric brain," etc. I wonder if the reason European languages have so many apparently 'unique' words is their inclusion of other older European languages such as Greek and Latin. Chinese, by comparison, seems to have borrowed mainly from itself.
Overfitting, curse of dimensionality, etc. As in many machine learning tasks, extracting good starting-point features is very very important, and that often requires domain-specific knowledge.
Actually, if you look back at the early days of Windows 3.0 and 3.1, it was very common for OEM's like Compaq, HP, Packard Bell, etc. to include their own proprietary "skin" on Windows (usually as shallow as just a replacement for Program Manager).

On a separate note, I don't know why everyone always casts this as an Android vs iPhone fight. Android doesn't need to "beat" the iPhone, the iPhone isn't (by a loooong shot) the largest player in the smartphone market anyway. (http://gigaom.com/2010/03/18/the-mobile-os-market/)
There's plenty of marketshare for both iPhone and Android to take away from RIM and Symbian, not to mention that smartphone market is growing very rapidly as a whole.

As long as the sales of Android phones keep growing anywhere near as rapidly as they have been, Android will be HUGE even if they never take any marketshare away from the iPhone. (http://www.fool.com/investing/high-growth/2010/05/27/deciphe...)

If you're bored sometime, look at one of Lincoln's speeches and replace "union" with "empire" - it still works!

I agree with your outlook on what Lincoln did.

However the implied "logic" in this sentence I disagree with. Of course it still works if you substitute one noun for another! That's how parts of speech work! This is especially true if you use a substitute noun which has semantics close to the original. (Empire and Union both indicate a national/supra-national polity.) In other words, this isn't any more significant than the observation that you could take many texts containing "Terrier" and substitute the word with "Pekinese."
By "magic" do you mean "through the internet" or is something cleverer going on?

Also, by cache are you generally referring to some place where files are stored? Or does it mean something else?

I understand the system I just described doesn't really scale well, I'm just not really understanding how it does work from the documentation in the wiki.
Did you think lobbying is just asking for goodies and offering nothing in return?
This sounds like Facebook rooms, too.
Textbooks tend to use examples that are relevant for students to learn about outside of the examplemaking.
There was intense demand for the Leaf in California. The waiting list was a year long through 2016, and in LA at least there was still a waiting list well into 2017. However, Nissan only ever made a few thousand Leafs a year and only made them available in select markets.

By comparison, the Model 3 went into production in 2017 and they built the 500,000th in March of 2020.

BMW, VW, Toyota, and Ford have all launched new models in significantly greater numbers over shorter timeframes and with fewer employees than Tesla. The Passat, for example, went from 50,000 cars made/year (at the Chattanooga factory) to 250,000 cars made/year in just over a year, with 1/5 the employees of the Tesla line, minimal rework required...and here's the real kicker: while making an actual profit per car under standard accounting practices (not Tesla's imaginary profit per car that leaves out costs the other automakers include in unit economics).
I agree with you, I just caution that they may not have become what they are today if we didn't all flock to Google. Fastmail is good today, will they be good if they become the dominant player?
I worked at Songkick. The business was not sustainable, there was no revenue stream in sight before the Crowdsurge merger. Crowdsurge effectively acquired us when they merged as Songkick had run out of funding, with no potential buyers or investors. Crowdsurge was not sustainable either, they lost money on every ticket sold, but mostly because TM would only allow 10% of any allocation at any TM venue. Crowdsurge were backed by Access (Len Blavatnik who owns Warner). The CEO and COO of Crowdsurge went after Ticketmaster as an exit. They built a corporate structure that made the employee share pool worthless. This meant that no employees ever saw any of the $110m "buy out" and they will never see any of this new $10m. The CEO and COO have a lot to answer for.
"Publish or perish" is the most idiotic, damaging idea ever produced by modern academia. It's symptomatic of a degenerate system.

If those academics had any guts, they would boycott their precious journals and strike out in a different, better direction.

They're the ones perpetuating the system, just as much as the journals themselves. It's not parasitic, it's symbiotic.
What is the state of the art in deterministic computation environments?

Naively: I would start with the basics like dedicated heavy duty hardware with all the ECC and radiation hardening available. Then I would make sure to compute literally everything multiple times and check that the results match. At this point, the execution characteristics of the computation are dramatically altered from the real world, the test results are unlikely to be useful.

You suggest tactics that stop short of redundant computation. Would that really work? Like, how do you gain perfect confidence in your system emulator? I don’t see how you would fully account for bitflips...
And daylight time is that plus one hour. They're both standardized somehow or other, that's not the point. The error bars on that relationship with the noonday sun are large enough that neither daylight time nor standard time actually fit that definition anyway. Time zones cover an hour-wide area, and orbital mechanics of the Earth and Sun cause noon to drift a lot throughout the year.

Both are workable, but one is more familiar, and that's daylight time.
