Ada (/SPARK) is a complex language that makes the developer think of every optimization-related implementation detail as they code (not unlike C++ or Rust), and Haskell/OCaml would benefit if functions that do pattern-matching could be inlined into their call site and all of their branches removed but one or two (the same goes for the other languages on the list).
If they don't have any emotions they don't care what other people do or that they nag them. Nothings annoys them, nothing excites them. You getting the order wrong.

Of course you need to build up intuition when you create things that doesn't have a matemathical formula. Thats exactly what intuition is a combination of rational understand, experience and emotional awareness of what decision is right and which one is wrong to you. Without it you would have a hard time making any decisions at all.

There is a reason why humans have developed emotions.

The point is that I don't believe this person is completely without emotions whatever biochemical function it boils down to.
Art began as a way of communication (from the caves) to capturing our lives (before photographs & Instagram) to self-expression. Some art is expensive because the purchasers like to discuss how much their art is worth more than entrepreneurs like to mention the valuation of their company. However, art can be inexpensive, and even personalised. Check out dreame.me where you can commission your very own art work and co-sign it with your own name next to the artist's name. The artist gains inspiration and the commissioner gains a new anf affordable work of art.

How exactly does "starting with a cryptographic hash" solve this problem?

Remember, the attack is: start with "aardvark", run the deterministic key-generation process, hash, scrypt, elliptic curve and all, and check to see if you get the same result. If you don't, move on to "apple", then "ataxia" and so on.

The attacker has every piece of information in the system except the password string, which they can substitute with a dictionary.
I admit that other makes allow more customization and there's regional differences too (Mazda USA offers far less customization than Mazda Japan or Europe specifically because their research determined us Yanks like less choices).

But I think your example is way off. You're showing Trim Levels which are equivalent to prepackaged options list like CPU, memory, Red type cover vs Blue type cover, black stylus vs silver stylus. It's still the same model (Mazda6), still the same chassis, same body, same car! And cars are far more complicated than laptops! Buying a car in the USA for 99% of the general public basically comes down to choosing the Model (Mazda6), choosing the trim level (Grand Touring), choosing the color, and then settling for whatever your nearest dealers have on the lot :)

In comparison, the ThinkPad T models have different chassis, different physical sizes, different weight before you even start customizing things like CPU, memory, batteries, etc. And remember we're only talking about the T series.

More seriously, if the topic is of interest to you, I recommend Tanenbaum's book on Distributed Systems. In particular, the chapter 4 explains the rationale behind vector, or logical, clocks using very down-to-earth examples. I did not realize how time synchronization could be such a pain before reading it.

More generally, Tanenbaum's books are always of really high quality. There are maybe slightly outdated, but if you are looking to learn about the fundamentals - it is a safe bet.
I just read it, so it isn't impossible.

Best ASP.net based CMS
I use service workers for side projects that only target new browsers, and appcache for everything else.
Ha, I should totally fix that. The site uses Jekyll, not Rails, which I'm used to getting the asset pipeline for free with!

Combining all the resources will include assets that aren't needed. Part of the reason I made the post about profiling with Timeline was so that you could test tradeoffs like this for yourself.

I don't know what you mean by reducing the utility of CDNs and caching though - surely having only one file actually increases the use of browser caching, since the browser will only make 1 request for CSS and serve the cached copy for every other page?
Well, you get the bad credit by being bad at math.

I'm even more confused now.

I think you're saying that this system is better because, since it uses public key pairs, an attacker who steals the password file doesn't know enough to log in as a different user.

Leaving aside that an attacker who steals your password file has probably mooted login security altogether, the attacker in this system seems to have exactly the same leverage as an attacker who steals a password file full of scrypt hashes.

If you can, pre-render the initial page load into HTML on the server, then attach the JS event handlers after the page has finished loading. Both Google Closure (via Closure Templates) and React (via Node.js) have functionality for this.

If you can't, you can often load a skeleton containing just the HTML & CSS for page layout into the browser, and then fill in the content via JS later. The user cares about responsiveness; if they see the basic structure of the page load, even if there's no content yet, it'll feel more snappy than a page which waits for all the JS to download before rendering anything.
I think it's always been used as such, but they're surfacing some common integrations as 'products'.
The anti-vaxxers would have a point even if J&J wasn't involved in shady activity.

I am not an anti-vaxxer. I was vaccinated. I had my children vaccinated.

I just hold the position that the power of the state shouldn't be used to compel people to inject substances into their bodies, even if we think we have a good reason for doing it.

I'm not looking to delve too deeply into the politics of it but there are good reasons to oppose mandatory vaccinations.
How I did it is begin with .no-js class and using Modernizr to remove the class so I can style element for .no-js .my-class -> visibility: visible and .my-class -> visibility: hidden then finally using JS to remove visibility css.

So if .no-js class is available (when browser disabled JS), .my-class element still visible.

If .no-js is not available (when browser enabled JS), .my-class element will be hidden and visible by your JS

Genome Engineering with CRISPR-Cas9 [video]
Note that its more or less "how to write perl 5 in perl 6"

Sorta like the old F2C, Fortran to C, converter. You don't get idiomatic C, but you do get a fortran program that compiles and runs as a C program, more or less.

Some parts of perl6 are annoyingly urbit-y, come on, you guys just had to rename ARGV and rename scalar and the for-foreach transition is ridiculous. I suspect at least a decade of people pointing at items and verbally calling them scalars and so on. Urbit is cool but is most famous for feeling the need to rename everything.

Here's a slide stack for going from MOOSE (more or less the most popular "real" perl5 OO implementation, technically an "add on" for perl5 although many people will only program perl5 with MOOSE) to perl6 OO. At least toward the middle there are adjacent slides of "this is how you do it in MOOSE" "this is how you do it in perl6"

http://www.slideshare.net/lichtkind/p6-oo-vs-moose-moo

I'd like to read a book titled something like "Modern Perl; For Perl 6.0"

The transition will be such fun; I have some business logic libraries where I'll have to replicate behavior and test suites simultaneously for awhile in MOOSE/5.0 and in 6.0.

(response to unfortunately hellbanned berntb question about replication, the codebase is huge and interrelated and can't be forklift upgraded all at once; its already non-trivial to do stuff in both perl and scala, and now it would be perl5 perl6 and scala all more or less interoperating)

As others have mentioned, Kerbal Space Program uses two-body mechanics, ie. only one celestial body has gravitational influence on the spacecraft. And every gravitational field has perfect spherical symmetry. In Orbiter, you can get restricted n-body dynamics and non-spherical gravitational fields so things such as Lagrangian points or Molnya orbits can be simulated.

The solar system of KSP is a lot smaller in scale, the home planet is just 600 km and the atmosphere is 70 km thick. Liftoff to orbit takes just a few minutes (instead of 8-10 min) and a full orbit is about 30 min (instead of 90 min for LEO).

KSP mods can add a level of realism and add more "scientific" tools to the game. "Kerbal Engineer" is a must-have addon because it adds some numeric data about the orbit that the game developers have intentionally left out (a decision I disagree with). MechJeb is a popular addon that adds all sorts of automation, similar to some Orbiter MFD modes. There are also mods to use the real solar system (in real scale) instead of the fictional universe.

But no, overall, KSP is not nearly as realistic as Orbiter is. However, making any comparisons is pretty useless - they are both really fun games with a different emphasis and I play them both regularly.
Oh, I did not know that. I will update the post soon. Thanks for pointing it out.
He's implying that other sites may use the same popular Javascript libraries, so they may already be in the browser cache, before the first page load.

why does reddit get so much press coverage now? a whole article talking about their front page? or is there just a lack of real news to cover
But if you're pulling in shared resources from a public CDN, like jquery, the browser probably already has it cached and won't need to download it at all.
I got the same feeling. You can learn a lot through trial and error.

Probably the need to know everything comes in once you have to pay for that extra dV or if you plan to put your colleagues on thousands of tons of explosive rocket fuel ;)

Yes, but that hasn't anything to do with AOT/JIT rather a portable binary format for Java executables.

A few commercial JVM vendors do offer AOT compilation on their JDKs.
Ha, I remember that some years ago I've found a silly bug that allowed you to take over white's session and play for him by just changing the url token (lichess.org/<token>).

I would rephrase that as "putting the company's mission above specific instructions that are detrimental to that mission." Intent and judgment matters a lot here: if someone has good judgment and is sincerely trying to make the product or company better, he or she should have some leeway. Selfish losers shouldn't, but I don't think that part of the article was directed at them.
I've never understood why this was a good argument, because it just ignores that there are still going to be a lot of people who hit the worst-case scenario. When optimizing page-load time, you should always optimize for the worst-case scenario, not the best-case.
Combining everything into one file reduces browser caching, since a change in any of the N files invalidates the cache.

As a site grows, it's usually better to have 2-3 bundles grouped by frequency of change. E.g. I rarely upgrade 3rd-party files like jQuery, etc. but often make changes to the 1st-party app logic.

From what I understand getting to The Front Page of Reddit is pretty big deal for some folks (or so I can tell from some FB friends' screenshots\comments they've posted - it's not my thing).

>I CALLED TOP FIRST!

We'll never know for sure. There have been many times where I'll type in chat: "top", my message will appear, and then somebody else will say "top" immediately after. But, a asking a third person reveals that the second player's message actually arrived first, even though my client shows my message first.

The chat architecture is terrible.

Broken install = it didn't install. I had no idea why. I did get there after some hours of struggle . Part of the problem is the libraries on our system are everywhere.

Sorry I sounded cranky, truthfully I'm probbly just unfamiliar. I'm a developer not an admin, just want to install packages. We developers love the package systems and cpan pioneered a lot of it.

A great package manager goes a long was to helping a languages success.

I'm comparing to Gems, composer, npm, rpm which for what I've done with them work pretty flawlessly and easily.
I've raised an issue on the repo but I'm not a fan of

<!doctype html>
<html amp>

I'm not sure it's actually valid.

Also, these pages seem to be served just with text/html, what's the best way of me returning this format rather than a full webpage for the same resource? Isn't this a perfect use-case for content type negotiation?
Third party CDN's are a security tradeoff. For Userify (an SSH key management company), we're working on eliminating our use of all third-party domains in both our app and main website.

This is a process and we're giving up a lot of stuff like Google Analytics (however, it's debatable how useful that is with our target audience anyway). As we move forward, we're also combining (compiling) our resources into a single, cacheable SPA.

Any time you incorporate code from another site, you're:

a) leaking information about your visitors

b) increasing the probability of malicious injection

c) for required assets (JS/HTML, usually not CSS), lowering your overall site availability/reliability -- even if that third party site is often more reliable than your site

d) for less frequently used CDN assets or less frequently used sources, possibly also decreasing the speed of site delivery, especially if resources are requested less often than cache expiration (depending on type of edge caching)

e) similarly, possibly slowing down site by increased name resolution requests (this can be mitigated somewhat with pre-fetching)

f) increasing variation in load times (weakest link)

g) trading off latency for bandwidth

The biggest reasons for us, however, are (a) and (b). This is also why TLS should forced enabled with HSTS for many sites. Security trumps efficiency, especially when the differences are measured in milliseconds.

Once Seed Was Planted, Chinese Headwear Fad Grew Like Weeds
I've just moved home and had to call numerous energy companies, ISPs, local authorities, etc to change my details; someone told me a while ago that if you just say "human" as a response to prompts you get put through straight away to a real person - and at least in my experience with Sky, BT, EON Energy and Thames Water it worked - I was put straight away through to a triage person or someone who could directly help me.
Does anyone know if this supports timestamps down to the microsecond, like InfluxDB? The datasheet does not seem to contain this information.
OMG, that must be pure bliss. Where can I apply?
Similar to how Chinese characters are written: with a prescribed stroke order learnt at school.
Agreed, it's all about tradeoffs.

On public CDNs- I mean public CDNs for common libraries (jQuery, Angular, Font Awesome) can improve page load time if a user already has the file. The more sites use the same public CDN, the more users benefit. But if a user doesn't have the file already, it's a loss. So, tradeoffs.

On caching- if you make one JS file and one CSS file for each page, then there is no caching between pages but only necessary info is downloaded for each page. You could make one JS/CSS file for your whole site, but then there are unused assets on each page, and it becomes more difficult to simplify CSS and could increase layout thrashing. Again, tradeoffs.

Really enjoying this discussion, thanks for taking the time to write this up. I have this debate in my head constantly.
