Yes, and I think it's fine that v8 took that route - it's actually the route that I recommended that Firefox take. It is also the route that JavaScriptCore is taking. So I completely agree with you that the v8 team's approach is reasonable.

But they haven't optimized it well enough yet. The main issue Unity (and other big asm.js codebases) are seeing is OOMs and crashes in Chrome. The v8 and JavaScriptCore approach can avoid those, by not compiling everything at once, more efficient in-memory data structures, and so forth. This helps overall JS performance as well. It's just engineering work that needs to be prioritized and done.

(AOT, as in Firefox and Edge, does have an advantage in startup speed that I think v8 and JavaScriptCore will have a hard time approaching, but that is not a blocking issue the way that crashes and OOMs are.)

This is a false dichotomy. The logical opposite of poor is not poor. It is not a sliding scale about the wealthier you are, the wiser you are. It is just that when you are constantly worrying about your next meal, you are less likely to have time or energy to plan ahead.

Your observation is probably correct but not all parents are conscientious or even care enough to protect their kids from their misfortune. Moreover, I hate it when people bring extraordinary examples and wasn't me to think that's the norm. Lincoln's parents were not wealthy and he became president!

Mmm, no. If the four largest mining pools go for it, but the various exchanges and online wallets do not, then you get a very dangerous fork where you now have two separate currencies, and have the possibility of double spends. The nodes that are not updated to allow these larger block will keep on going along with their chain, just rejecting the other chain as invalid; and the ones that do accept the larger blocks will probably see their chain as longer and so only accept that one. That fork means that until all of the online wallets, exchanges, and anyone accepting Bitcoin directly realize that there are now two different currencies, all kinds of fun can be had with double spending.

Perfect timing as I'm going on a holiday next week and I don't know what I want to do yet.

I travel because my friends live around the country. I have no other good reason. I have lots of bad reasons though. Foremost is that my attitude changes once I no longer feel I'm at home. I don't know why that happens. I wouldn't go to a cafe/pub during the day in my hometown but I feel free to do so on my holidays. I chat people up, I meet strangers, I even hitch-hike. There is NOTHING stopping me from doing all this here, yet I don't. As soon as I get on a train and move a few dozen miles and I all my inhibitions are gone.

A false positive is better than a false negative. And OP's actions have presumably precluded any further diagnostics.

I think once it'd had the heck smashed out of it with a sledgehammer, it's out of warranty and Nest/Google/whatever won't be in a hurry to RMA it.

Which is not to say I'd have necessarily done anything different, or that it was OP's responsibility. I'm just saying it's not very helpful.

It could have just been something daft and it just needed to be blasted clean. Or it could be something serious and systemic, in which case getting the manufacturer to take a look would have been wise.

Still, if my whole house was turned into some sort of chamber of loud alarms in the middle of the night, I don't think logic would have been my primary response either.
I doubt most people at that level of poverty are thinking about the interest rate.
Yes and no, the pitchforks come out when people are prevented from achieving their full potential by others who feel threatened by that. For now, this isn't the case in the USA. Sure you have a harder time getting lift off if you are born into a dysfunctional family living on welfare, but there are exits and many people work very hard to help illuminate the pathway to the exit for those kids.

The question of "Why not just kill the people who have what you want?" is fundamentally a dystopian one. Feudalism, warlords, not a way to move forward. There are plenty of examples in the world today, just look at Syria which has millions of people who could be productively running shops, writing books, learning about the world, developing new products, and instead they displaced in refugee camps in Turkey by war between fundamentally ideologically disjoint groups.

So while it may be uncharitable to suggest someone seek psychological help for asking the question, the fact that the question is even considered as a possible "solution" (and it is presented that way in the GP post) raises a bigger question which is "What exactly does the poster expect to be the result of people just going out and killing other people they don't like?"

Aren't mechanical and moving parts less reliable than
electronics, in general?

I don't dare to answer this in general, maybe someone more knowledgeable can offer his or her opinion. In our case the alternatives were:

1. Simple gear and constant velocity three-phase motor[1]
2. Two axis mounting and two stepper motors.

First option has less parts and should be more reliable in theory.
That being said: I only know of commercially available solutions of the second kind. Maybe this has changed in the
last ten years, but our solution never made it to market.

[1] Industrial three-phase motors are real workhorses, produced in large quantities since ages, relatively cheap and incredibly reliable.

Consider a coin which consists of a strip along one side made of a dense metal, and the remainder made of a light metal. This would move the center of rotation to the side of the coin. Now place the coin on your forefinger with heads up and the heavy band facing away from you. Assuming the rate of rotation was high relative to the falling rate of the coin, then it will tend to first impact the surface with the leading edge of the light two thirds, face down.

The article makes assumes that conservation of momentum guaranteeing a constant rotation rate guarantees fairness. But this relies on the assumption that biasing the coin cannot affect the timing of when it lands.

Of course, this doesn't bias the coin in either direction, it just lets the flipper choose which way to bias a particular flip.

The arrays themselves are dynamically realloc'ed and checked for out of bounds access. I've also added some runtime warnings for access to undefined variables and negative or out of bounds array access.

Also, there is an equivalence between variables and arrays: `var[0]` is the same as `var`.

The “Growth Mindset” theory – and the harmful lessons it imparts
While visiting my parents this summer I realized they had no working smoke or CO detectors. I ordered some 10 year lithium units on Amazon (not Nest Protect). Two weeks after we left one of the smoke detectors went bananas and wouldn't stop beeping. My father had to pull the "permanently disable" tab to get it to shut off.

My point is no technology is perfect; not even normal "dumb" smoke detectors.
The person that read TAOCP would have strong understanding, both theory and practice, of implementing algorithms for all sorts of stuff. They'd also be on a team that likely had people with more hands-on or business skill. The combination would make for more effective solutions. As presty pointed out, Microsoft does a lot of work on applications that require solid algorithms. They also have a research division that does cutting edge stuff. See VerveOS and SLAM driver verification below for examples of what they did with various tech they developed.

Genes may play a factor, but they are certainly not the most important one, or even a significant one in this context. If you grow up in a poor family / poor neighborhood, you won't have access to the same education as those who grow up in middle-class areas. Education is far more important to what we consider "intelligence" in this context. Basic math, financial literacy, or even reading comprehension is far more a result of your education than it is of your genetic material.

It's easy, as a product of good education and a safe environment, to look at people in poverty and say "I guess they're not as smart as me." This hides a far more uncomfortable truth, which is that everyone who doesn't grow up in poverty has access to better education, better opportunities, and a better environment than those in poverty. Try as you might to claim that people in poverty are just "stupider", it's simply impossible to make this comparison given that people on opposite ends of the financial spectrum grow up in totally different environments. It's short-sighted to attribute this to genetics and nothing else.

I'm just going to hazard a guess that you didn't grow up in poverty, am I right? If you had, I'm sure you would have a very different idea about how difficult it is to grow up without all the advantages of a middle-class upbringing.

LifeSpan TR1200-DT3 - $1000 everywhere.

http://www.lifespanfitness.com/workplace/treadmill-desks/tr1...

Hands down, the TR1200-DT3 is the best treadmill desk out there right now. Their bluetooth app is crap, but as a treadmill actually designed for office use, this is perfect. Read this amazon review for ways to customize the programming to be less annoying:

http://www.amazon.com/review/R3C358XW4LPBS7

LifeSpan also has a more heavy-duty model, the TR5000-DT3, $2000. If you're buying for an office setting where multiple people will be using it for more than 6 hours/day, get this one.

Well, this field is really exploding right now! I was curious about the performance and searched around a bit: in another other post, the author gives a slightly more detailed explanation of how the tunes are automatically turned into audio:

"I convert each ABC tune to MIDI, process it in python (with python-midi) to give a more human-like performance (including some musicians who lack good timing, and a sometimes over-active bodhran player who loves to have the last notes :), and then synthesize the parts with timidity, and finally mix it all together and add effects with sox."

https://highnoongmt.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/the-infinite-ir...

The generation of tunes by the RNN is pretty nice and definitely the trending topic, but I think I'm more impressed by the little performance script that he's put together. The output is quite pleasant and I'm curious about the code that generates the bodhran part. Hope this gets open-sourced!

Nothing could be further from the truth. Do you think these tests were created and maintained for free? Do you think the certification process happens on its own? Do you think there is no value in the whole Unix standard is stagnant, none-changing, and never reviewed or updated? And it all happens without cost? Do you think no one pays any attention to that?
There was a really good article a while ago (this one, I think [1]), about why the poor make bad choices. Basically, the gist of it is that long-term, it doesn't matter - even if they made "good" choices, they would still remain poor. So they make "bad" choices (unprotected sex, pregnancy, smoking, impulse buying) that give them short-term pleasure, and hope they will get by somehow.

Do you think this would be possible for your family as well? For example, maybe your mindset is "save" because you earn a good salary and you know that if you save, in a few years you'll be well-off and will be able to afford exponentially more, whereas the rest of your family objectively has no way out of poverty, so they don't even try.

As much as I think that government is partly to blame for a lot of systemic poverty problems, I'm going to have to agree with you. I think it's fairly obvious that the poor make bad "loans" even when the interest rates are higher.

At the end, it's all about moderation and planning. One can plan for a high-interest loan, heck I've had one (14%) until recently. It's definitely been an incentive to save, and work on getting it re-financed on better terms.

"I would literally murder a random innocent" is a bit different from what you suggest.
You're point about "Irish songs seem to be simple enough for the NN to understand it back to front," is a good one. There are a number of aspects of the compositional parameters here that I think make it much easier to generate this kind of music.

Firstly, it's modal harmony, not diatonic. In this case, dorian mode in A. If you've every improvised in say, a whole tone scale, you notice that you can play almost anything and it sounds good. Modal music works in a similar way. A lot of the things you find in diatonic harmony: the tension between tonic and dominant, chord progressions in general, key changes, chromatic inflections, etc....are all absent in this kind of music. Which isn't to say anything bad about modal music, just that it's much simpler. Because of the added complexity of diatonic harmony, there are many many more ways the music could "go wrong" so to speak. Most people are so grounded in diatonic harmony that they would easily perceive even small mistakes (or statistically speaking, deviations from the norm) without necessarily being able to explain what rule, exactly, is being broken.

It's also monophonic music; there's just the one voice and no accompaniment (other than a completely static rhythmic accompaniment that was added to the performance).

Finally, even within this much simpler framework, I'd argue this tune gets it wrong in a big way: it doesn't know how to come to an end. It just sort of stops, in medias res. In a lot of folk music, you'll find that the way a tune is ended still tends to hearken back to diatonic harmony: some sort of motion from dominant (e), maybe even with a raised 7th scale degree to tonic (a) that's outlined by the melody. That doesn't happen here, which is why the tune sounds like it just got cut off.

I find these NN experiments in music generation quite interesting conceptually, but so far the results--as music--have been pretty disappointing. I suspect that you could actually build a model that would allow for algorithmic generation of folk tunes that would produce music that would probably be more satisfying. The number of rules that govern a lot of kinds of folk music are small enough that you could encode many or at least most of them in your model. [1] However, at the end of the day you'd still just have a model that would only generate a fairly limited spectrum of folk music--say Irish gigues, reels, hornpipes, etc--whereas the dream with NNs, markov models and other statistical methods is that you could plug in any corpus of songs without understanding a thing about their harmony, form, structure, melodic patterns, etc. and get back music that sounds the same.

[1] and this is really massively simplifying on my part w/r/t the varied amount of folk music out there, some of it quite complex

The US does not use the Imperial system. "Imperial" refers to the reformed volume measures introduced in Britain in about 1820, which have a slight metric flavour. The US uses the Queen Anne volume measures, avoirdupois weights, and the international inch (except when it uses the survey inch).
