You know, it's really complex sometimes. Here's an example.

I'm a fan of the Mass Effect game series. An important place in the games is the Citadel - a giant cylindrical space station, about 12 km in diameter, that makes its own artificial gravity by means of rotating along its axis, about 1 rotation every 3 minutes.

There are elevators inside the Citadel, taking people from one level to another. The elevators are pretty fast - about 10 meters / second is my visual estimate. So you have people going "up" or "down" inside the cylinder on these elevators all the time.

But wait. Combining the rotation of the cylinder with the radial motion of the elevators, a Coriolis-like force would manifest on anyone inside the elevator. I did the math, and it would be like the floor of the elevator would tilt at about 4% grade (slope) - not huge, but it would definitely push you around.

There's no mention of that in the game, and people in elevators are standing straight all the time. But that's not how physics would work in reality.

There's a moment in one of the games when you're taking some R&R with your buddy, and you're shooting bottles. You throw a bottle in the air, for your friend to aim at and shoot. In reality, you'll never be able to throw it straight up. Due to Citadel's spin, the bottle would always describe a shallow curve, as if wind was pushing it along the circumference of the cylinder.

Granted, this is a subtle effect. Few people would notice or care. But the point is - if you're aiming for high realism, at some point you'd probably need a science consultant to point out all these weird issues that might crop up.

Realism is hard.

>It would be very valuable to have something like OpenMP (parallel loops, etc.) and something for concurrent IO (either asynchronous or coroutine-based).

https://crates.io/crates/mio for the async IO.

There was another library out there that provided tons of concurrency utilities, but I can't find it now. Parallel loop-like syntax should be easy with scoped_threadpool and a macro though.

Rust tries to avoid stuffing everything into the standard library. So the lack of utilities in the stdlib isn't an artifact of some ignorance of concurrency, it's because Rust doesn't want to keep everything in the stdlib. Rust keeps the basic framework for thread safety in the stdlib (though it doesn't need to, not exactly), but the rest is built upon by the community.

Personally I find the iPad Pro to be intriguing because of the stylus and the keyboard, as now it might actually be more useful than a paperweight.

When something is usable, that doesn't necessarily make it useful.
I saw an excellent use of this recently here:

Microsoft did go multi-OS route but the Windows branding did not allow the flexibility and led to demise of Windows RT.
SP3 stylus uses batteries. Two of them. Not an issue, and I find the technology far more accurate than the Wacoms, especially around the edges.
We do have libraries for asynchronous io, and co routines, they're just not ready yet. I absolutely agree with you that these things are useful, but the code needs to be written by someone. We're just at the stages where these things are getting good enough to try out.

(And the language can't have exactly the same stuff as Go or Erlang without adding a runtime, which is contrary to the goals of the project.)

Perhaps I am economically naive, but why does there need to be any inflation? Why isn't 0 a target?
Because they don't do that for iOS, MacOS or watchOS? The last time they did something similar was for Dashboard Widgets and that was 10 years ago.
I think it's fascinating how hostile some people can get towards Soylent. It's like they think the mere existence of it is an attack to the core of their identity. I wonder if it's just insecurity triggered by people liking something that they don't like or some other type of psychological defense mechanism.
I love my Z3 Compact as well. Am still pulling a solid 1.5+ days of battery life, and the dock charger is really nice.
How does this compare to Spring Integration?
They're not handling the financing. It appears to be going through Citizens Bank, and is an installment loan. [1]

And, if you were hoping to use someone cheap like Cricket instead of Verizon, no such luck there either:

"1. The iPhone Upgrade Program is available to qualified customers only with a valid U.S. personal credit card. Requires a 24-month installment loan with Citizens Bank, N.A. and iPhone activation with a national carrier — AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon. "

When Ensure markets itself to the general public the makers responsibly say it's a supplement. But if you're a medical professional you get the other marketing - which is clear that ensure etc can be used as a sole source of nutrition under medical supervision. They have a variety of products to cover a variet of needs. They have ensure plus which has more calories than ensure; they have products for NG tubes; they have low protien versions; there are version for children; etc.

http://abbottnutrition.com/brands/abbott-brands

The fact that they limit this marketing to registered healthcare professionals and have a bunch of caveats about "under medical supervision", and Soylent doesn't, is something you can draw your own conclusions about.

Some people will see this as disruptive and an example of a small nimble supplier filling a niche; other people will see it as SV pathologically avoiding reasonable regulation.
They may be smaller, but they have IP Apple needs now. Apple just can't do whatever it wants to just because it's big.
Yes, brace for it cause we'll be greybeards twice over on short notice.
You are confusing types and representations, and your function is not well typed.
> but my point is: why?

If you keep doing the same thing your market price will start to fall. Smartphones are old and boring. They can't capture more users simply by being Apple any more, they have to offer the variety users want in order to increase their piece of the pie.
As abritinthebay said, Apple has been using this taxonomy since 2009 so I'm not sure why you think it's a new strategy now.

In a way, you're completely right -- they are all versions of one flagship model. The "S" are always upgraded internals of last years model (the 3GS, 4S, 5S, and now 6S). And plus is a bigger version of that flagship model.
I drop my Z3 Compact all the time and it does just fine, you just need to protect your investment with a case. Incipio's case works well for me.

Also curious what updates are coming to the older box. Presumably it will run a tvOS light, or something?

There's a Plex app for jailbroken Apple TVs already, and it's on the app store for iPhone and iPad so I imagine that it will be available for the new Apple TV on day one.

no, it's totally different approach. At Chromecast the center is your phone/tablet and it seems for tvOS it is Siri and the remote control.

Well, people choose to spend 5 or 6 figures on septic systems all the time. Maybe not the best example.
Actually the article states the views very clearly: orthodox rabbis who believe deeply in their mindset but accept modern life's progresses as not being a threat to them. They deeply believe something yet accept/tolerate those without the same strict views. I find it to be a good compromise (for them, not for me.) I'll give you that "progressive" was not a good word, though I was talking about whatever you'll call the rabbis described in the article.

IF is not a function. Functions don't evaluate their arguments. Functions actually get evaluated arguments passed. But IF is a special form, built into the language. Special forms are not functions.

There is something special about special forms. A basic set of special forms is needed and can't be implemented as macros.

I'd love to see less snark/hostility/FUD on these Soylent threads.

1. No, Soylent is not the same as Ensure with different packaging/marketing

2. No, Soylent does not have illegal levels of heavy metals, nor did it in the past.

3. People don't tend to eat nutritionally complete meals every meal of the day. Measuring Soylent against this ideal is beside the point. Soylent is inarguably better than coke and cheetos, though. I bet most people reading this can think of a meal they've had in the last 48 hours that was less healthy than 12 oz soylent.

Force Touch - I've had that feature for years - it's what I do when I get angry that the phone isn't responding fast enough.
I don't follow this comment at all. What does this have to do with profit and revenue? If I am profitably selling something direct in Chicago, and I have the choice of waiting for enough profits to accumulate to light up an NYC sales office, or I can take $5MM and light up NYC, SF, Atlanta, and London, then I am in fact in a position to "buy profits".

Similarly, if I'm doing mass-market promotion limited by budget and have a cost of customer acquisition that's far lower than my customer LTV, I can slowly accumulate enough proceeds from my business to gradually increase my marketing spend, or I can take $5MM to go nuts with it. Again: so long as the metrics stay steady, I am "buying profits".

It's not a mystery. There's no law that says that straightforward things you do with VC money can't generate profits. In fact, the premise is the opposite.

"quickness" is absolutely about the core muscles. This sort of quickness is not quite what the article was talking about, but for your case it's relevant.

That's a very unappealing title for a very interesting subject, which is that there are complexity barriers that get in the way of creating larger programs.

For the sake of illustration, he says a novice may hit a brick wall at 2,000 lines of code, and be unable to add features after that without breaking things.

The next level for a more experienced programmer might be 20,000 lines of code, and he describes some things that helped him get there.

Then there's his personal breakthrough to 200,000 lines of code. etc.

(I add this gloss to spur people to read the piece, which is interesting, and add their own ideas, not because I am claiming the above is some kind of absolute truth.)

The internal experience of an individual is totally beyond the point (the stimulation of watching an engaging movie is literally real in your brain!); all the issues about generating happiness for the human species revolve around the sustainability of that happiness. Kindof can't handwave away the social implications of promoting happiness within society. Also the arguments of "we'd rather DOOOOOO something than just EXPERIENCE doing it" obviously either rely on some sort of dualist existence or just straight out say the experience machine isn't as good as advertised.

To offset some of the feedback here, we run close to a billion requests a month through CloudFlare with no issues at all. We use their Strict SSL setting and everything is fast and secure and we save a ton on bandwidth.

As far as CDN service goes, free SSL and bandwidth and peering + all of their datacenter locations + DNS integration gives us better latency than pretty much everyone else we've tried.
That's not entirely true. ISIS fuels its ground combat force with angry young people recruited via predominately through social media. The social media often consists of video sharing and much of the video is served up from sites like isdarat.tv (now apparently gone) that are/were fronted by CloudFlare. YouTube and Facebook are efficient with their censoring; ISIS needs stable hosting for these videos for maximum efficacy and CF provided them with that.

Gagging these people certainly won't calm them down or stop their communication but it has a real effect on their recruitment, which is directly driving their combat operations in the Middle East and as a second-order effect, the flood of refugees to Europe.
>meaning the progress of civilization

if you look around the world, the couple decades of globalization, of opening of the world, of falling various curtains down have caused conservative reaction in many places that took forms as rise of nationalistic, religious and other extremisms. People are scared of changes, it makes them feel like they are under attack, and as result they instinctively form the "Croods kill circle". Just look at all the human history - the progress has always been a painful process of fighting through that reaction. People were burned at stake.
I actually get this. If they don't take a hardline on censorship, they would be inundated with "offended" people wanted every site on the Internet removed from their edge caches because someone in the world found them offensive. Much better to just say, "We don't censor, take it up with the website owner!"
Thanks for the link! If 94% of the population can subscribe to BT's FTTC service and get at least 25Mbps then the state of broadband in the UK is much better than I had previously thought.

That said, 25Mb/s is at the lower end of the FTTC service. I can imagine a lot of households will max out at around 40Mbps due to distance from the cabinet and cross-talk on busy lines (though vectoring should help somewhat). I would like to see what G.FAST can deliver but unshielded copper phone lines can only take you so far.
I wish I could ad-block YouTube ads that don't let me "skip" in 5 seconds (that seems to be a good measure of my tolerance). The ads I do remember, and maybe the most effective, are the ones that only run for 5 seconds. "Tropicana" ran a 5 seconds ad for it's juice: very effective; I still remember it, I like their juice. There is a lot of content I'll not even bother to watch because I can't stand the pre-advertisement.

I love YouTube for catching up on the late night talk shows, checking out the latest Cyanide and Happiness shorts, or watching cool documentary; I used to spend hours watching content. Lately, however, I can't stand to stay for one or two videos, because the ads are so offensive. I'll close the app/website and find something else to do.

A few years ago I cut my satellite service, and now I refuse to subscribe to cable/satellite again. I have local, over-the-air channels, but I don't watch them anymore either. After being a few years without that kind of TV advertising, I realise how obnoxious advertising really is. It's a total assault on the senses! Advertising on the Internet is heading this way, and I'm equally disgusted.

Anyway... You asked how I feel. Yay ad-blockers!
