I was not alive when newspapers were at their prime. I cannot answer that question definitively, but I will say that it is entirely possible, and does not take away from the analogy. Would you interrupt someone reading a newspaper to talk to them? How about if they were reading a book? Would it be okay to interrupt someone typing or scrolling on their phone to try to start a conversation with them?
> I know of literally nobody my age who would ever think this.

The behavior is a demonstration of not valuing someone else's time and attention (the time that it took to put themselves into your proximity, and the attention that they can't pay to someone else while waiting for you.) One would expect that people who practice it would tend to know less about what other people think and feel.

It's the system that's at fault. The kids want to cram for the test because the GPA follows them, like the Akashic Records, and that's why you get textbooks that promote un-understood shortcuts. You will have encountered the problem if you have taught university or highschool, and you will have identified it as a hard problem.
LCK is a pretty amazing website... very very approachable.
That would imply that education and school are in some way related. Perhaps they can be, but often as not, school has more in common with a minimum security prison where children are warehoused during working hours.
What the hell, man? "His fault is a mental disorder". "Behavior that ... is out of his control." "..blaming the patient for being sick."

So you're already calling the guy a sick, mentally disabled, out of control victim? That's all your words -- that's what you think of him.

Why can't he be an asshole, too?

Get over yourself, man. srsly

Because it would be a complete waste of time. There's nothing to learn from this any more than there is to learn from the nonsensical babble of a guy standing on the corner telling you that Obama is a Lizard Man from Neptune. That's what TempleOS is. The computer equivalent of that. Shame on all of you who indulge his delusions and pretend he's accomplished something worthwhile.
Even with senior members working remotely, they'd still have to pay for an office for the non-senior members. It might be smaller and maybe a bit cheaper, but it's still a high cost. As a business owner, what looks better: $70/sqft or $22/sqft?

If I were working for Lyft, I'd be thinking about moving to Nashville. The cost of living is better and my money will go farther. There's also the whole not-in-a-drought thing. The move also shows me that the company has the insight to not run the company into the ground paying ghastly overhead prices in SF. (I'm not saying it won't run into the ground other ways, but at least it won't be by paying outlandish SF rent prices.)
Just made one this morning after reading the article. Super easy and works like a charm! What fun
My generation is probably your generation. Talk about arrogance--you should look at yourself.

So I assume you'd have no problem if your date pulled our his/her phone and completely ignored you? If your boss called you over and spent the next half hour on his phone, that shouldn't be a problem. If you ask a friend over to talk because you're hurting, and he ends up on his phone the whole time, that shouldn't be a problem either right? If you fly across the country to see someone, and they ignore you completely for two days while being buried in their phone, that's not a problem?

Is this a generational thing? No, you're just being a selfish asshole by talking on the phone when you should be giving others your attention. What arrogance indeed!

Millennial here. I quite frequently end up standing as the odd one out in crowds who isn't checking their smartphone (I never use them for telephony purposes either, but as testing grounds/toys for Replicant/KDE Plasma Mobile/Ubuntu Touch and similar), which always catches me off guard.

It's not that I have a superiority complex over not using smartphones, though it is delightfully ironic to witness many of the older generations I hear chastising people like me for a variety of grievances commit one of the cardinal sins I actually don't.

And yes, if you can't last more than 5 minutes without checking Facebook, you need help.
For what it's worth, I've ran into this a couple of times. Maybe it's just because I'm more familiar with 0-based indexing, but I think it's not just that. In every case the 0-based indexing had fewer (+1)'s and (-1)'s than the 1-based code. For instance k%n returns a number in the range [0,n), or in Julia notation [0:n-1]. When you want to do array indexing with that, you need (k%n)+1 in Julia.

Btw, Matlab also uses 1-based indexing, no? I thought that Julia chose 1-based indexing to get brain backwards compatibility with Matlab.
YouTube Ad-Free Subscriptions Rumoured to Launch Oct. 22nd
In my experience iTunes isn't really necessary to manage the iPhone any more. At the beginning it was needed to set up a new phone but now all that is done in the setup process on the phone itself.

If you just want to use another player for your music why not just install one of the many iTunes replacements and just ignore the installed iTunes? I doubt the few MB of space or bandwidth to update every few months are a big enough hassle to warrant such an endeavour especially if you have to re-engineer it every time there's a major version update.
I love how Philip goes through the things he tried on the way there, gives away the winning formula, THEN goes on to give away tons of other useful information!

If you're starting a mailing list, or already have one, this is a must-read. Philip basically tells you what steps to skip and then hands you a winning formula on a silver platter, saving you tons of time and effort.

Crazy good stuff.

Yes, I know ) But then this whole derivation now lives in a "special world", where you cannot do all math, but only certain subset.

Your example is cool. I have not seen many exmaples of such logic, but people probably do it too.. )
Well, sure. I'm just saying that calling this something more specific than "compiler" isn't wrong.
What? I don't see any connection between whether self is constant and whether it has a specific area of the brain or not.

And of course it's not constant; as you learn things, your behavior changes, that's dead-obvious.

I feel that 1-based indexing has been the right choice, and I am aware that many do not like it. I really haven't run into off-by-one issues much, but this is probably more about how one is used to writing code. I like that you can iterate over a vector of size n, by just going from 1 to n.

Coming from a regular programming background, as opposed to a technical computing background, can certainly make this look alien. However, I think it starts feeling natural quickly. There are many other things in Julia that can take a lot longer to get used to.
Great point, particularly relevant to autocompletion: IPython magics are tab completable and therefore more discoverable than bpython special keys. Real quick, they're emacs-style readline keys but with ctrl-r for undo. F1-F10 do things too.

Docs for shortcut keys, for anyone F1 doesn't work for: http://docs.bpython-interpreter.org/configuration.html#keybo...

The F1 issue with GNOME terminal is frustrating, I agree a cheatsheet-style help page on the site would be good. I've been meaning to do this for a while and might finally get time to work through backlog next week :)

> Even now, companies have a difficult choice when switching to 16nm - is it worth the cost and effort?

The alternative is to spread processing power over multiple cores and have programmers write code that takes advantage of that. We have a thirty year-long history of failures in that department. It has gone from "this is how we'll be writing code tomorrow" in the '80s to "this will FINALLY be a nail in the coffin of Moore's law, just wait and see" since the late 1990s.

The cost is worth it because there are a lot of high-profile industries depending on it, and there is no credible alternative yet. Until that alternative -- which will be hardware in nature, not software -- comes up, the current trend is all we have.

> And it's SF - Nashville, not NYC to Nashville. It's not like they're leaving a real world class city with irreplaceable amenities.

Dan Francisco residents like to consider San Francisco a world class city with irreplaceable amenities.

As a New Yorker, I find it amusing, since San Francisco seems to me like a quaint little provincial town, but what matters is that people moving to Nashville will likely feel that way, whether or not it's actually they.
I believe the internet is far greater a revolution for mankind than either the car or plane or telephone were. Unlike those, it has provided the possibility for 24-hour permanent connection with the rest of the world, at all times, at all locations you may be in. That is the sort of disruption that can significantly fade behavioral patterns that existed before.

"If we start from that premise, death, life being meaningless etc, maybe."

I believe life is what you make it, the value you get from it is directly related to what you put into it. So in some sense, life can be meaningless if you choose to make it so, and life can be meaningful if you choose to make it so. Some people don't like that view, which is fine, variety is the spice of life.

"But in that case replying to my comment is not worth it either, and me replying to yours even more so."

I'm not debating with you because I'm worried, I'm debating because it's fun.

"So clearly we either take this conversation as people who think there is stuff worth worrying about, or we don't have it at all, and go either have fun or kill ourselves."

So the alternatives to worry are to either have fun or kill yourself? I think you're a little confused about what self-reflection is, self-reflection and worry are not the same thing. For example, it's possible to self-reflect and laugh at the absurdity of your own views, it's possible to self-reflect without passing strong judgement, etc... .

"Would you be OK to be confined for the rest on your life in a hospital bed, being fed a drug that would make you enjoy your every moment tremendously? From your perspective you'd be totally happy. You might not enjoy some part of the idea now, but you'd totally enjoy it when given that drug. Would you go with that?

If not, then you agree with me that enjoyment is not the be all end all in life, so whether an idea is "satisfying" is not "the only question"."

I find it interesting that you mix satisfaction with falsehood. However, if you change the question to... Would you want to live a life where you regularly encountered moments that were genuinely satisfying/fascinating, then the answer would be yes, I would want that, I believe that'd be fun.

"Again, I'm not talking about original as in "unique"/genius or whatever, but in original as in "autentic" (yours).

Let me put it to you like this, can an idea that started from someone else be just as good for you as one that started from you?
Don't become a consultant. My company bills in 15-minute blocks, so I track my time with that precision. I bill for more than just in-the-flow coding, but I dont bill for downtime. I regularly bill 35+ hours a week, and the rest of my 40hr week is usually spent on company business. It's not hard, if you're professional.
Can someone give a valid reason for wanting this? I'm kind of confused as to why mixing and matching python and java source with some central compiler would be useful.
The argument made slightly above was that without ads, we lose the current media environment. I'm saying (agreeing with some) that since the current media environment contains very little reporting of value, I don't see a real reason to maintain it.

Ads providing revenue has not led to value, ergo I don't see much reason to protect the status quo for fear of losing it.
Yeah, exactly. I was looking at the logo, and I thought "huh, that looks exactly like the Dutch East Indies company logo!"

After ctrl-f'ing to the first mention of "Dutch", I had to chuckle at their explanation though.

Besides, it's not like most technical product/project names are so great. I enjoyed this reference & their pun.
I think it just tends to be who you associate with. I don't really know anyone I hang out with that sits on their phone the entire time. Then again, I wouldn't put up with hanging out with them if they did either.

If you are careful and each step gives an equivalent statement, this is correct. For example, if you read math books/papers, whenever such transformation is made, the author usually states that it is equivalent.

However, the problem is that students apply this technique blindly manipulating the formula in any way they can/want. Such carelessness is the real problem.

I'd be fine with reviews being openly attributed to the author. Authors reviews could be counted as contributions. Also, it might improve review quality.

Not just Matlab, but many technical computing languages use 1-based indexing. Julia was never intended to have any compatibility with Matlab.
I really enjoyed this announcement. There is so much going on here that it is hard to track all the threads some times. Here we have China who will, with practice, become better at building nuclear power reactors than the US or Russia. That will lead to energy independence for China and that will cut some drag on their economy and mitigate deaths from the whole coal fuel cycle. Given the TWR burns "leftover" fuel, they can import nuclear waste from other countries which have been unable to deal with it, and power their infrastructure for "free".

And that puts folks like the Department of Energy in a real bind. And it makes for an interesting challenge to the notion that the 'western' style of governance leads to a better outcome for its people. What happens if China's economy rides a wave of free nuclear power and their skies become clear every day of the year with better air quality than any other country?

I don't know, but I do know that not pursuing nuclear power solutions has put the US at a disadvantage on the world stage and sometimes, like now, wonder if it will be the thing that knocks us off the #1 economy pedestal.
My impression is that you aim to produce a perfectly clean and elegant – perhaps in order to avoid a Python-3-type scenario. However, if that is what you are doing, I am afraid that Julia could become the GNU Hurd or programming languages. Most languages, at least those that have practical relevance, have design flaws. Heck, R is one giant mess of design flaws, and yet it is actually amazingly useful. Another example would be Perl. I think design flaws can be a sign that the creators of these languages are reasonable people who are capable of making pragmatic decisions (instead of just academic decisions). I’m clearly not an expert and I’m not up-to-date with what is going on in Julia but as a potential user I have the impression that we’re not moving closer to a point where Julia is ready for production use, and I’m worried that Julia will lose momentum while R is growing stronger and deeper roots. Personally, I really like Julia and would prefer if it would replace R but over time this is becoming less and less likely. The world is full with examples showing that inferior technologies can become dominant just because they had a head start. I think this article is relevant here: http://paulgraham.com/startuplessons.html
ab=ba is not an axiom for integers (where multiplication is defined as repeated addition), or rationals (where multiplication is defined in terms of integer multiplication). I suspect that it is similarly not an axiom in the real numbers (and, by extension, the complex numbers), but it has been a while since I looked of how the reals were defined.

If we consider fields, then the field operation commonanly referred to as multiplication, is defined to be commutative.
Proprietary technology effects billions of people. Proprietary media has more influence than ever and across the globe. Again, proves nothing while distorting the truth of FOSS. The truth is that it was mostly subverted as a free labor tool for proprietary companies with a tiny percentage contributing something back. Totally opposite of the vision Stallman was preaching long ago when I still read his stuff.

They succeeded at getting stuff built, used and so on. Doing it all volunteers, for the right reasons, displacing proprietary, and so on? Total failures. Only zealots pretend otherwise.

It's why I push paid, open-source models (eg dual-licensing) with charter or contract protections to try to get best of both worlds. Both corporate and FOSS propaganda keep telling developers that it's gotta be paid/closed or free/open when many successful projects did paid/open. A profit incentive tied to respecting users freedoms, esp allowing fixes/extensions, could be a powerful motivator in getting OSS all over the place. Even Microsoft might buy into that for Windows eventually if they could ensure similar profit and tie-in to their ecosystem.

I've always heard: do one thing and do it right. It's the Unix philosophy, before it was totally disregarded.

Urbit seems to take the total counterpoint of this advice, and I wonder whether it's a good idea.

What I don't get is what it is trying to achieve. The stated goal are too abstract. What are some use-cases? Is it really necessary to scrap the whole OS and languages to achieve these goals?

I do sympathize with the idea of rewriting everything from scratch, and I too feel that "almost everything is terrible" in software-land. But I doubt rewriting everything without having a firm grasp on the underlying issues is the way to go. It it a fun exercise, and inspiring besides, but I'm unsure it can be more than that.
Thinking about this some more, there is no reason that a large number of states has to have a proportional amount of memory. If the states are represented in binary notation (thus needing logarithmic number of bits) and the state transition function is represented as a binary decision diagram then this could be quite compressed indeed.
You can exchange it for food and housing and pay your taxes and bills. Try doing that in a city with any value store other than a fiat currency.

The original question is fundamentally similar than asking if you'd like to be paid in gold bars, grain futures, stock certificates, or live cattle. Would you want your salary to be given to you in a volatile commodity that you would be responsible for converting to currency?

If you really really really want some bitcoin, it would be more prudent to get paid in currency and then immediately convert some portion of it to bitcoin.
