Somewhat related, VPRI discovered that the could get away with rather simple algorithms for typesetting, if letters were allowed to "place themselves" relative to other letters. I first saw it in the 2011 STEPS report, I believe:

http://www.vpri.org/pdf/tr2011004_steps11.pdf
(Look for the "Text Objects" headline)

And I think this essay is a write-up that focuses more on just that part (the STEPS report is on the entire system):

http://www.vpri.org/pdf/m2010001_pobjects.pdf

I haven't really experimented with neither TeX/Knuth or the approach from STEPS -- but while java isn't all that well suited to object oriented programming (As in: allocating a full object for each letter) -- it might be worth taking a look at. If nothing else, RAM is still getting cheaper.

I think coding in lisp-family languages without using structural editing (aka paredit) is a significant waste of time. It takes maybe 2 hours to get used to it. If you don't use it, you will spend more time counting and adjusting parentheses than actually writing symbols, and you will spend more time fixing bugs caused by bad parentheses than thinking about the logic of your program. In addition, after you make the jump, you will never complain again about lisp having "too many parentheses".

All history editing in Mercurial needs to be enabled via extensions (so that you don't shoot yourself in the foot by accident). That said, the term extension is a bit of a misnomer in this context, since most "extensions" that are being used for this are parts of core Mercurial and are simply enabled by an option (the one prominent exception I can think of is "evolve", since it's unfinished).

Here's how you do it:

hg histedit -r .
# change "pick" to "edit" in the edit plan.
hg commit -i
hg commit
hg histedit --continue

Alternatively, and preferred, because you can then test intermediate commits:

hg histedit -r .
hg shelve -i
# test that it works
hg commit
hg unshelve
hg commit
hg histedit --continue

If you don't want to affect the files in your current checkout, use hg share to create a separate checkout.

That splits the commit in two; use hg graft or hg rebase to move the commits to different branches.

> Its always a huge pain point.

Not sure why; Mercurial's commands for history editing are conceptually pretty similar to Git's. I suspect that it's mostly a difference in familiarity with the tools.

Very nice. Have you compared your approach to simply enabling css-hyphens in eg: Firefox? The chrome team apparently doesn't believe in hyphenation, but for me just having a sane column width, normal left justified text -- and enabling hyphenation does wonders for the readability.
Seems unlikely, pretty hard to attached a computer created value to something like that.
I reject your assertion that the legal process is sucking up too large a percentage of the disputed assets in question. In general legal fees and court costs are a relatively small percentage of the disputed value.
Yes, it is a continuation, although it's more comprehensive than call/cc. When you save a Smalltalk image it serializes not only the call stack but the entire heap. It's rather like a core dump that can resume executing.

It's typically implemented in the VM as a primitive function kind of like posix fork(). When it returns, the entire state of the program has been saved to disk. The return value is a boolean, which tells you if you're returning from the original call, or resuming from the saved image.

Classical Smalltalk dialects didn't have continuations as a flow control construct, but they did have reified stack frames, so it was possible to implement Scheme-style continuations in a few lines of code.
Now let's see if someone can pull from the API and cross-correlate to figure out what they likely meant.

A clear distinction between the transaction volume they handle and the revenue they take from that volume.

There are more confusing examples though.

If Uber accepted cash payments, and the driver post paid just the commission, would the whole trip cost be GMV or just the commission?

eg
Regular Uber:

Ride Cost: $20.00 GMV (goes through ubers payment system)

Commission: $4.00 revenue

Credit card fees: $0.60 expense

Cash Uber

Ride Cost: $20.00 (Uber never handles this)

Commission: $4.00 revenue

Credit card fees: n/a

I have doubts about these results if they depend on paragraph vectors.

The first paragraph paper vector (Le and Mikolov 2014) was irreproducible [1]. Not even Mikolov could reproduce it.

Paragraph vectors also fundamentally involve training on your test set: the paper stresses the importance of all the vectors being learned jointly, without addressing why this is a problem for evaluation.

The developers of gensim have been making an effort to make a version of doc2vec that can be applied to documents it was not trained on (of course it doesn't perform as well). They seem content to clean up after Google's messy publications, but in a fair world, they would be the ones getting the citations if they succeed at this.

In this case, you'd do it based on the upvoting and downvoting ratios of comments.

50 comments, with 15 grey comments = bad sentiment, lots of negativity, non-productive conversations etc. Then come up with a scoring algorithm, with red being volatile or bad sentiment so the moderators can spot them instantly visually.

I really enjoyed learning and toying around with Smalltalk and Scheme. What killed it for me was that for all the fun abstractions, they were so isolated in their own environment and disconnected from the operating system that it was not apparent how you would use them for anything real. Processing files, connecting to databases and other network resources, and interacting with the user are core practical services that need to be front and center to get new users to connect to your language, but if those elements are ghettoized into awkward libraries that don't work as elegantly as the abstract parts of the language then you aren't going to get traction, except for very specialized purposes.
It can't be sentiment analysis because some items didn't have any comments but still had a percentage. Some other clues that we have is that the percentage didn't correlate with the color and that pretty much all the recently submitted links didn't have percentages.
1. Not all visual languages are the same, just as not all text-based languages are the same. The main problem is there aren't many in widespread use, and they tend to be quite specialized, so you might not find one which you're completely happy with.

2. Programs, or rather functions/procedures/subroutines should, with very few exceptions, be displayable on a single screen. If they are larger, they should be split up. This applies whether the language is textual or graphical. Moving graphics around should make no difference to how a dataflow program executes.

3. Yes, it's easier to develop a new text-based language, because so much research has been done on them, and you don't need to develop an editor along with the language. But there are hundreds in active use, which are constantly evolving. If you want a new set of features, you can add it to an existing language or create your own dialect. Visual code must have either a text or binary representation of the source which can be shared. It may not be human-readable but that's not the intention.

This is not bad advice. I'm naturally a bit reticent, but a beer or two and I'm chatty and can break through some social barriers. (There's a limit of course, moderation is best.) People call drinking a "crutch" but it's no more so than any other self help advice; alcohol can break down some inhibitions and lead to interesting conversations. (I've heard pot works similarly though I've never used it for social disinhibition myself.)

Using your example for a business more people understand - A real estate agency can honestly say "We sold $20M of real estate last year" and everyone knows they probably took in about $1M in revenue.

My apologies on the affiliate link thing then, all of your "Visit Site" links on each deal append `?ref=founderskit.co` to the end of the url.

Some of them, like crazyegg, hand out the same discount to everyone without paying for it - see https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Acrazyegg.com+"Egg+is+...

Platejoy, another on your list, offers coupon code TRYPJ (I used this a while ago) for the same discount without paying for it, publicly.

There's a lot more, but those are the two that stood out because I recently used the trial/coupons. For quite a large number of your offers in the bundle, you can get the same offer at no cost just by googling sitename + coupon. Maybe not offered by the copmany directly, but still freely claimable via another deal site.

Personally, I don't mean any offense, but I would likely pass on this.

I would be more interested in say, a $99 bundle that provided services for a bunch of these SaaS for a year or longer, not "first month free" or "$10 off first purchase" or anything like that. A lot of your discounts aren't lifetime, but a small amount off the first month - which is really just not very "deal like" to me.

I don't, but this basically sums up how I fell about these types of books. I think the answer though is to practise until it doesn't feel like a that.
I suppose this misunderstanding boils down to semantics. By definition they are objectively better off. However, past a baseline threshold for human survival it's argued that a person's subjective perception of well-being is relative to that of others around him. Objectively, we are many times better off than we were pre-industrialization in almost every way imaginable, but does that make us many times happier or more satisfied than people who are unaware of such a standard of living? The argument is that they would perceive their well-being as much worse if they were aware, even if nothing has objectively changed.
Good points, and I'll respond to the "sunk cost" bit by adding that backwards compatibility is a double-edged sword. My favorite pet example of this is MS versus Apple - the former has historically cared deeply about being backwards compatible, while the latter has gone through several hardware and software architecture changes that have required total rewrites from third-party developers.

The situation with Firefox is a little trickier, staying backwards-compatible for web content has always been an important goal, but anything living inside the browser chrome does not get the same assurances.

Right now extensions live somewhere between these two worlds, and we've had over a decade of experience with them so I think it's time to carve out their own space, with dependable APIs that are more stable than the internal browser APIs, but faster-moving and more privileged than the web.

> full-featured Linux-based hypervisors like KVM or Xen

> KVM and Xen have Linux-based versions

There is no such thing as a Linux-based Xen. KVM and Xen are fundamentally different in that regard.

When you are running Xen, you are not running Linux. If you have a Linux dom0, that is still not Linux-based Xen. That is a control domain (a VM) where the management toolstack is installed. It's also the default driver domain, but you can have stub domains just for drivers too.

The point is that there is nothing Linux about the Xen hypervisor, at all. When you see a linux kernel with xen in the name, that isn't because it contains the xen hypervisor - it's because it is a kernel modified to utilize hypercalls, etc.
I am short and minority. If you want attention in a bar, get out on the bar floor and dance! If you want more attention, walk to the front of the dance floor, turn around, and dance facing everybody! I am short and minority and the one time I did it, all the girls went googly-eyed staring at me for the rest of the night. One girl who wanted my attention wasn't happy I was talking to other girls and not her, and when she left hours later, she made the point of deliberately walking past me rubbing her chest against me, I got the idea she wanted to say "You missed out!".

Make sure to take a few hours learning dancing from someone who's really good at it, or go to some sort of dance class, and pick the right club for your dance.

Commonality is a tricky thing. There are words that most native won't actually know, words they know but rarely use, words that used to be trendy but aren't anymore, etc. It's hard to know from "common", "uncommon", and "rare" in what kind of bucket a word or expression would enter, while "native won't actually know" is a very important distinction to make. Moreover, it's not clear which of "uncommon" and "rare" ranks above the other and below "common", both words being synonyms.
To give an example, since I gave a try to your app (best I've found so far, by the way, but unfortunately doesn't match my own needs): 自問自答 is marked rare. 出勤 is marked uncommon. Now, looking at this and some other words, my guess is that uncommon is above rare. Fine. 自問自答 might be rare, but there's no Japanese I know (excluding small kids) that wouldn't understand it. (And, in fact, it stuck in my mind because I keep hearing it). So in your classification, there is no room to tell apart those words that most japanese won't know.

I agree on great perspective. I'll further it by saying there's a ton of uses for batch and even for utilization. Any job that is a time-consuming hand-off from user or developers might be most effective in a batch run. The reason is that, esp w/ I/O processors, the system keeps running without swapping CPU state, cache, or memory pages. Highly efficient for given task even without a time requirement.

Personally, I think the better and modern take on it is a compute cluster where certain nodes can be brought up for dedicated, batch runs while others run interactive functionality. The embedded safety and security scene have been trying to do it with the partitioning, MILS kernels that strictly separate and schedule workloads based on priority w/ fault-isolation. Recent ones allow resource donation by partitions that are done so waste is minimal. Finally, there's security benefits in that batch runs make it easy to eliminate covert storage and timing channels. Hell, you can even do what I did (and cloud is just now doing) in designing a custom OS image per batch app to load for that on a minimal kernel. Reduces resource requirements and problems.
