A small side track to the topic: I've been evaluating data querying, caching (or syncing) options for building modern JS apps. Public GraphQL solutons seem not to be practical enough for fast prototyping yet, but redux looks a promising middle-ground. Have you done production apps on it? Any downsides?

As a side note. How does flagging work? If one comes across such a comment and you've clearly already seen it is it worth vouching for the flag? As in does that contribute towards the comment being flagkilled?
Linear logic itself doesn't express goals or constraints, just what can be accomplished with a given set of resources.

In the example you gave:

if $5 then pizza
if $2 then beer
$6!
therefore, (pizza and $1) OR (beer and $4) OR (beer and beer and $2) OR (beer and beer and beer) OR $6
I find Bret Victors talks quite inspiring and would love to collaborate with him on interfaces for collaborative mathematics. I think he is misguided though on the "Kill Math" angle. There are two different kinds of maths. 1) The well-understood one, and for this kind of math there should actually exist much better interfaces for it than the "freakish manipulation of abstract symbols". 2) The new one, where you are not sure about your concepts yet etc. For the new one it is ALSO (maybe even more so?) important to be able to approach it via (virtual) physical experiments / models, but in the end the new territory has to be mapped out by symbols. By logic. Only then the full power of math can be realized. But of course there is no reason why working with logic should NOT be supported by the computer; actually I would think the computer is ideally suited to help with that task.
you have a point with LLVM (probably due to the reason you outlined)

However WebKit is steerage, in a direction of their choice.
Ask HN: How do develop a side project when you have a 40hr/week job?
I am a developer and I have a 40 hr/week job. It is a very good job and I put a lot of effort in it. But I have also my own ideas that I would love to develop, but I am struggling to organize time and material to develop something for me.

I read a lot and have a lot of ideas, about little porjects to test new technologies or new patterns, but never find the time.

I would love to learn the experience and techniques used by someone who have been able do to something like this

> As much as I love Clojure this is not entirely true. Without naming names there are some prominent projects/devs that would not qualify for this.

Which parts?

Effective? Yes. Undoubtedly. The Clojure community is full of very practical and driven developers.

Talented? Again, in general, the Clojure community is full of very talented people.

Kind? Definitely. The Clojure community isn't partial to ranting and raving. You aren't going to be called an idiot for making a mistake or not knowing a particular concept etc.

Supportive? Very supportive; however, a lot of Clojure projects have well defined goals and approaches, and they take a "you will get out what you put in" approach to assistance.

To developers who expect to have their hand held, and for developers who want to jump right in and impact a projects direction, it might feel un-supportive.

However, the flip-side means you get good feedback, and if you put in the effort then the level of support is above and beyond most programming language communities.

With a few other language communities I've tried to get into there will be a dozen people ready to spend 10minutes helping a raw newbie contributor, but very few people willing to spend the 10-20 hours to really review a proposal/idea/contribution.

but you are completely correct in that there is some spillover and I exaggerate to make a point.
I totally disagree. For example, Edward Tufte never built some grandiose project around his ideas, but influenced thousands of people with his books, projects and talks. We might evaluate his legacy in 50 years, and it might be bigger than any single application of his ideas.

Same with Victor, I think it's better that he focuses on the exploring the idea space and finds even better approaches. If his ideas are any good, there will be modern Henry Fords that will assemble teams and resources and will build businesses around his ideas. Henry Fords will potentially reap millions of dollars of profits.

Bret Victor will have his legacy as a reseacher and explorer of ideas. He will never get tons of money out of his ideas, but it seems that it is the path he has deliberately chosen. His name might be mentioned in human computer interface research 100 years from now, alongside Engelbart, Kay, etc.
I am a fan of the PEL series of podcasts; in the beginning, they try to have each podcast build on the prior ones to build philosophy from first principles. They no longer give all 100-so of them away, so you might have to pay for them, but I found them worthwhile.

The envelope paradox (2006)
Why are there vast numbers of technical blogs which simply copy content? Why are there vast numbers of people who post rubbish answers on technical help forums which are simply copy and pasted from, for example, Microsoft's knowledge base? It's because these people want to raise their profile, e.g. so they perhaps put it on a CV, in a job application etc. In the English-speaking world (and unfortunately for the stereotype), they overwhelmingly belong to a particular demographic.

We've had multiple companies falsely claim we owed them money after closing the account. For example, for years a debt collection agency would send us emails and call us about a debt of €0.63(!) - plus a few dozens of euros in late fees - even tough we had a receipt of the payment, which we sent them multiple times.
With Diversity Comes Intensity in Amherst Free Speech Debate
Your first paragraph suggests that blacks are more delinquent than whites. Is that your intent? Or do you mean something else?

Your second paragraph makes no sense. Do black people but not white people have money to pay debts? That would seem to contradict your first paragraph. Remember, I was asking (predicated on the idea that there is some unfairness) why people would collect debts owed by blacks but not whites.

If the headline is the sole thesis, that's fine. I guess I thought the article was hinting at some kind of unfairness, rather than merely the fair application of debt collection processes being applied to disproportionately delinquent black people.
Surely both sounds exist in both vatieties? Mexicans don't pronounce 'bueno' with an initial fricative, and people from Spain don't pronounce 'estuvo' with a plosive at the beginning of the final syllable.

> Hands up who knows which company designed the iPhone 6s’ 64-bit chip

Apple did. It's been widely acknowledged that the processor inside the iPhone is a custom design which implements the ARMv8 ISA. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A9

> Furber and his co-designer, Sophie Wilson, had found research from the Berkeley campus of the University of California into a new type of processor: one that simplified the set of instructions it would follow, in order to enable a sleeker, more efficient design. This style of processing was called “reduced instruction set computing”, or Risc, and the Berkeley Risc designs had been put together by just two people, David Patterson and Carlo Sequin.

ARM were hardly the first people to bring a RISC CPU to market: MIPS, SPARC, and POWER are RISC architectures which pre-dated ARM.

> By 2007, Intel had abandoned the excesses of the company’s Pentium line

Pentium is a brand name, which still exists today. What the author is referring to is Intel's "NetBurst" architecture.

> powering the servers at companies like PayPal.

Citation needed. The CEO of X-Gene said PayPal has “has deployed and validated” services based on their CPU, but readily admits to having shipped only 10,000 units, which is just peanuts to datacentre guys. Source: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/04/29/aookied_micro_q4_201...

Overall, I'm happy for ARM's continued success, and I hope that they and the rest of the semiconductor industry will continue to innovate and bring the performance per watt up.

That being said, this Guardian article is crap. It's factually incorrect in places, missing sources for claims, and generally doesn't do anything to actually explain why people supposedly don't know who ARM is.

tl;dr - Some guys in Cambridge, who are fab-less, made a CPU from a RISC design. They license the designs to partners who can add whatever they want around the CPU (or redesign the CPU as long as they conform to the instruction set, as Apple does). The reason they're "not well known" is because they don't sell CPUs themselves, companies like Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek, etc do.
No love for react-devtools [0]? I'm amazed it wasn't even an honorable mention, considering he mentioned react and redux (which is probably generally used with react).

I'm also surprised he didn't mention flowtype [1], which is by Facebook and is supported by Babel! If you're writing React, you're probably already using Babel, so using flow is very low friction.

Furthermore, if you're interested in runtime assertions, you can use babel-plugin-typecheck [2], which will convert your flowtype annotations into assertions. If we're looking to be pragmatic, IMO, this is the optimal path to take. The library that Elliot is working on looks interesting, but even he recognizes in its page that it's still a work-in-progress.

If you're writing a modern JS app and you wanna take advantage of all the ES6 goodies, you'll pick up babel. And if you're using babel, you can get jsx and flowtype for free. It's ridiculous to try and build a JS app without some sort of bundler, whether it's browserify or webpack. And if you're gonna use a bundler, pulling in a transpiler like babel is really easy and it lets you write much saner code.

Oh, and if you're already drinking the Facebook kool-aid with react, jsx, and flowtype, you'll wanna give nuclide a shot. As I understand it, it has nice flow support, with stuff like "click-to-define" and inline linting [3].

I'm using flowtype annotations with the babel plugin I mentioned above, but due to my usage of non-standard features, I can't successfully run flow itself over my codebase. I'll also note that my experience with nuclide when I last tried it was underwhelming.

Imagine poor white people and poor black people have similar levels of debt.

Now imagine the poor black people are subjected to vastly more police stops and prosecution and fines (even though crime levels are similar). Those poor black people now have to pay money to courts or go to jail, which means they can't service the other debt, which means their debts are sold off to aggressive debt collectors.

Probably no one thought it was worth it, right up until everyone (particularly shareholders) thought that if they held out for X years it would be a company right up there with IBM, Intel, Apple, MS, Google at the top of the tech food chain.

How to steal a painting (7)

Bruno cuts the telephone line to his rival’s gallery and hides a few hundred yards away in the bushes. He counts the number of men in blue uniforms who arrive and the number who depart. If the two numbers are equal, then it’s a fair guess the custodian has said, ‘Oh bother, we‘ll fix it in the morning’, or words to that effect. He now knows he has several hours to work.

-- page 384-385

in this case wouldn't it be better to use two different 3G/4G operators in addition to the fixed line?
If black people did commit crimes at a higher rate than whites, this might contradict your narrative...

I'd suspect it's at least partly survivor bias (in reverse?). IT is new enough that "All the great IT guys" are young. The ones that are unfortunate enough to have died will necessarily have died young, with a few notable exceptions (such as Dennis Ritchie, though one could argue that even 70 is "too young" in this day and age.
I didn't take it as an argument against Switzerland. It's just that there are always good or bad reasons behind such one liners.

In Portugal, women got granted the same rights to vote as men only in 1976 because the country was a dictatorship until then. Hard to imagine that there were dictatorships in Europe only 40 years ago. In Spain, the other dictatorship at the time, women got the right to vote in 1931 but because of the dictatorship soon established afterwards, they couldn't vote for 40 years (of course, neither could men).

If this is really nothing more than an apprenticeship program I still think this can be a great model. I don't think they should use the word school in the name though. As for the salary negotiation point, most junior developers have no leverage (uggg ... I hate that term, junior developer, it is so arbitrary). I do wonder what the financial model is though. I suspect they are double dipping, but think it would be fairest to have corporate sponsors. Paying tuition for a non accredited school is a very big gamble.

UPDATE: Ok, so it is "free" for the first students. I put it in quotes because you must be able to afford not working for two years, which is hardly without cost. This basically rules out those who can not be supported by their parents or partners, and supports privilege being passed from one generation to the next. I would much prefer a paid apprenticeship model for those that do not wish to get a university degree, which while not free is attainable to all through deferred payment (student loans).

I think encryption does get you a reasonable expectation of privacy that protects against warrantless attempts to decrypt the information or coerce you to decrypt it, if you're a U.S. person and your data doesn't cross the border.

If data isn't encrypted, it's simply exposed to too many people for any expectation of privacy to be "reasonable." If the government has a warrant, that has always meant the power to coerce people into opening locks. And the Constitution does not apply to foreigners abroad, and to searches at the border. These are not just legal technicalities, they are well-accepted limitations on the power of a 200+ year old document to override the decisions of a democratically-elected government.
I wasn't aware, thanks for the info!
The "reasonableness" standard is objective not subjective reasonableness. It's objectively unreasonable to think that your data in say gmail, which is stored in a form accessible to many people you've never met, and is in fact data-mined by the host, is somehow "private."

If I keep an unlocked box full of papers in my neighbors garage, and he sometimes rifles through them looking for something interesting, can I say that box is "private"? Maybe if the box is locked and only I have the key (I.e. Client-side encryption) but not if I send it to him locked but give him the key (I.e. HTTPS). Again, it's not about legal technicality or technical technicality. It's about whether the information is actually "private."
