> but it is strongly typed which is usually more useful than static typing.

Strong typing is orthogonal to static typing and I do not believe one is more useful to another. The benefit of static typing is that you can catch many mistakes at compile time. Static typing also makes analysis and navigation of the code base easier.

It's not worth it unless you treat it as a bonus or have a farm of 3D printers working all the time. The materials are cheap, but printing is very slow and the machines tend to break often. In other words, machine time is the most expensive part for a customer.

This is beautiful. It's the first time I've been able to understand special relativity in terms of geometry.

Your visualization makes it clear how everything from time dilation to length contraction can be derived from simply knowing the Pythagorean theorem and the constancy of c.
I see plenty of comments saying that the parents orchestrated this. If you truly believe this, I can only assume that you are not now or never have been a parent.

If you truly believe that a parent could send their child into a situation where there is a high probability of a fatal or long term negative outcome for the child, then you do not know what being a parent is.

There are plenty of bad parents, but believing this is orchestrated by the parents is the height of cynicism.
It probably simplifying the fitting if they just line up a Host targeted request with a dedicated host of that type.
If P=NP is independent, then we already know that a complete search for a polynomial algorithm for 3SAT will fail (because if there were such an algorithm it would prove P=NP, so it wouldn't be independent). Adding P=NP as an axiom doesn't change this; instead it effectively augments the system with certain "nonstandard" natural numbers (which are larger than any concretely describable term but "look" like regular natural numbers from within the system), and this mythical polynomial algorithm for 3SAT will have nonstandard length (meaning for pratical purposes that it is infinitely long).

Agreed. In fact, it was only your comment that got me to go back and read deeper than the first three paragraphs, where I found an interesting article.
Sorry yes, wasn't saying anything about cardiologists, just wanted to point out that surgery might be different.

I'm familiar with the second study you mention there - I'd take it with a large grain of salt! It highlights the issues with so many medical studies and how hard they are to get right with limited data. The study attempts to generalize surgeon performance based on age for only 22 surgeons that did 'enough' operations that year (for one complication, only 15 for the other), while trying to account for all the other factors (patients, difficulty of operation etc.), and not accounting for the wildly varying volumes for each surgeon and the fact that the study had a large cluster of younger doctors, and not many older doctors (look at the plots) It just doesn't have enough data to be a good study in what they attempted.
If I were an Astronaut, I'd rather see Pluto than Mars. If you managed to figure out how to survive the extremes of Mars over an extended time, you probably will already know what you need to survive Pluto long term too. That's where it's at, the edge of our Solar System; a launch point for intergalactic travel. Launch from Earth then keep hitting the engines to build speed, cutting the travel time to Pluto from years down to weeks. Orbital slowdown would also probably take several weeks.

Just because a question is well-posed doesn't mean it must be provable or disprovable. Consistency of ZFC is also a perfectly well-posed question with a finite answer (if one exists), but we know it is impossible to prove regardless. I don't think we can exclude independence as an option for any currently open question without actually proving or disproving it. (Of course, most mathematicians don't really think that P=NP will turn out to be independent, any more than the Riemann hypothesis or Goldbach's conjecture, but we don't know for sure.)

How do you charge someone with a "bomb hoax" unless someone initially assumed there was an actual threat of a bomb? Can you just somehow jump straight to "bomb hoax"?

Why do you need to call the police for a bomb threat you know to not be real? If I said something stupid like, "I have a bomb" and the teacher _knows_ I'm lying. The teacher probably sends me to the principal's office or maybe gives me a stern lecture about "misusing words"

If he really did something that warranted cops being called why would the Principal need to threaten him with expulsion if he didn't sign a written statement coping to that fact? You either have him dead to rights on making bomb scares or you don't.

I honestly don't know if his dad was the cause of him bringing that clock to school. But man if that's true, the dad must have read the school well enough to know they would try to arrest his son on something dumb.
Finally, 'Hackers' the movie style 3D interfaces for managing networking infrastructure.

In all seriousness. As networking structures become more modular, it might not be a bad idea to have systems where the architecture can be modeled and monitored visually.

I have come across presentations of some custom/proprietary systems that provide interesting visualizations of networking interactions. It would be awesome to see a generalized platform implementation.

I assumed the context here was developers. For other kind of specialists, they can be INSANELY valuable from the get-go. In fact, one of the first hires I'd recommend anyone doing enterprise startup is hiring a domain specialist. These people are relatively inexpensive and add tremendous value in giving product feedback between early iterations. They can also talk to early customers with more credibility and thus help adoption of certain features that the customer may other not see much value in.
You just defined a subset of the natural numbers, and asserted it has a Godel number. Sorry, there are uncountably many subsets of natural numbers and countably many Godel numbers, so there is no guarantee that this is possible. More subtly, you can consider many "natural" classes of functions, such as computable functions, recursively enumerable functions, etc. and for each such enumeration there will be a "natural" function that escapes the class. Functions to do with definability or (in this case) 'interestingness' are especially susceptible to this. See also "Tarski's theorem on the undefinability of truth".

The second nGram linked there (showing the rise of fulfill - with 2 l's in American English)[1] seems to show that the increase in use of 2 l's started around the same time as Noah Webster's dictionary was first published. [2]

I've always been fascinated why there is such a difference between spelling in "British" and "American" English, I remember reading that the main reason was Webster's dictionary and his desire to reform spelling according to pronunciation. That Wikipedia article though quotes John Algeo: "He was very influential in popularizing certain spellings in America, but he did not originate them."

So now I'm as confused as ever. Why DID the spellings change so significantly. I can accept that they took hold due to Webster's work, but I wonder why the differences arose in the first place?

I worked for 4+ years at a company that was supposed to help publisher create enjoyable reading experiences on touch devices. We could have succeed doing that, except no publisher is interested in their reader's experience these days.

A big part of my job was making sure IAB standard ad tech worked on our platform, and it was always a losing battle. Advertisers don't care about making the readers' experiences the worst it can be, as long as they click on those goddamn ads. As an UX designer, that's the worst of nightmares.

Now, I don't want to work on anything that it's ad supported ever again in my life.
Sufficiently Advanced Civilizations May Invariably Leave Our Universe
I am highly disappointed by Nginx in three major areas:

1. They created a paid version that has some additional basic features such as cache purging, dynamic upstream name resolution, and a few others. Charge for support, charge for some fancy management interface, monitoring, but for basic features (most of them available in Tengine [0]) - thanks, but no thanks. You lost me as an evangelist! In fact, in may aspects, they now are catching up with Tengine!

2. Instead of making LuaJIT integration standard and avoid the need to escape Lua in the configuration files, they invented some subpar JavaScript. People already use Lua widely, it's fast, it's great - don't you have anything better to do than invent yet another language!? I really can't believe pragmatic people would have done this, honestly! Speaks so badly about their thought process! I know can expect anything stupid from them!

3. The configuration language is not very intuitive. If they embedded Lua, the whole configuration could be a Lua script that initializes some internal state. This would have been a dream come true!

I am really confused by the negative reactions because it seems like Ahmed's family is following the American Way by suing for $15 million.

But seriously, isn't this how it always has been with incidents like this? If they want to sue they don't want to sue for $2 million because the school will probably tryo to settle for ~$500K. If you set it at $15 million, it anchors the price point higher and they may get $3 million to make it go away.

No software ever does exactly what we want it to do, because we are all different and have different demands on our programs. Even the author of a program is usually never truly "finished" with their program, and always find new things to add or behaviors to tweak. That's why software engineering is a thing.

Depends what you're trying to do. For instance, I was playing around with notifications in iOS. They have the ability for you to download data in the background before a notification is opened, which is a tremendously useful thing to be able to do. Last I checked the multi-platform frameworks don't allow you to do it - so being able to use NativeScript's cross-platform stuff then augment it as you desire is a pretty great thing.

How do digital signatures solve the problem? The manipulator of the data just re-signs the new manipulated data. If you're suggesting that equipment (smartphones, DV cameras) sign their outputs, you still can't trust the signature-- How do you force the original signature to remain attached? How do you prevent anyone from faking some other device key and producing a new signature? This is effectively a problem related to the DRM realm, and DRM has failed to thwart pirates.
Looks alright, but their server selection is a bit limited (and hard to navigate, just a big list that doesn't even filter properly).

For example, if I want 128GB RAM and SSD disks, their prices suddenly go up to thousands of dollars per month because they're all some kind of beefy Dell or HP, whereas Hetzner can give me a single-processor, 6-core Xeon E5-1650 3.4GHz + 128GB RAM + 960GB SSD for $123/mo. LeaseWeb has cheaper SuperMicros, but they either max out at 32GB, or they don't have SATA disks. They're skewed very differently: With Hetzner you can't pick "less RAM, lots of CPUs" and LeaseWeb doesn't have "lots of RAM, fewer CPUs, SSDs".

A vendor like this needs to offer a much wider range of specs to be worth investing one's entire infrastructure in, to be honest.

terminating lines in streams with null bytes is not really a git specific hack btw. Many shell tools have options for that as well and you should always use them if you pipe stuff from one program to another. Don't remember the reason though.
Could you give some examples of the journalists who have left? I've subscribed on and off to the Journal since the late 80s, and pretty much continuously to the online version since '99, and I have not detected a decline in quality. The paper has certainly changed over the years, and seems less stuffy and stodgy than it once was, reflecting the generational change in the readership and the staff. It's about as conservative as it always was, though.

Regarding the two child announcement, the article pointed out that it was unlikely to affect the population decline because not that many Chinese want more than one child, and in any event it would take at least 16 years for the policy to have an effect. I'm not convinced that people want just one child, however. It seems likely that many couples who already have a girl will want to try for a boy.
Maybe, if the robots can self-replicate and/or self-repair and have that creative spark, but that's asking a whole lot of tech that we haven't sorted out yet.

Life has the replication shit already worked out, so if the goal is really to put intelligent life in deep space in a sustainable way, a genetically engineered super-bright octopus species in a space-faring aquarium with environmental selectors for intelligence built in might actually be more effective.
Leaps in logic to DRM and piracy aside, if you trust that you have the correct public key for a source, someone else's signature is not going to match the original key.

It's nice to see a piece on this subject that's friendly, non-technical, and non-judgmental.

That said, there are two reasons I never watch movies with frame interpolation on: One is the old artistry argument, that the movie was shot and cut at 24 fps and anything else is a distortion of how it was intended to be seen, but the other is one I don't see much: Most interpolation algorithms are highly inconsistent.

I think I would be considerably less distracted by frame interpolation if it didn't tend to fail completely on fast motion. It's less noticeable in dialog-heavy films than in thrillers, for sure, but even a character gesticulating as they speak can trip up the most advanced 240hz interpolators, throwing a few immersion-breaking frames of judder into the otherwise silky-smooth movement.

I don't think this is really a solvable problem (outside of exotic computer vision systems, at least) – at 24 frames per second, there's often simply not enough visual information to go on. For now, only the unmatched power of your own visual cortex can fill in those gaps.

On the flip side, I quite enjoyed the aesthetic of The Hobbit in 48fps. Produced and mastered at that frame rate, it looked great.
