It actually uses the MacRuby stuff to compile to native. But the compiler can't optimize nearly as well as it can for statically typed languages, so there's a pretty significant performance hit on the ruby code itself, though once you've called a native library there won't be any difference.

This may come off as sour grapes, but it's really important for Musk to point this out. It's not just that you need to go sideways at mach 24 when you reach space to achieve orbit. It's that you need to carry the fuel up to space to be able to do that. Which means that any returnable vehicle is going to be way larger to carry all that fuel. So from an engineering perspective, the size of Blue Origin is a toy compared to the size of rocket that would return after achieving orbit. Not to mention the amount of additional fuel required to decelerate a much larger mass right before landing.

The real issue is US's electricity usage is declining. Replacing a working coal power plant with a wind farm is very different from building a wind farm instead of a coal power plant. That said, power plants only last so long, and existing capacity the trend is very different than this article suggests.

US:
2010 Coal Power Prod: 1,994,000 GWh

Allow me to disagree. Before CTEs I would have agreed, but CTEs gain you the same in clarity (decomposition really helps with comprehensibility of complex queries) without the loss of having to chase down 5 different views in order to understand the one you're looking at.

My rule is to refactor into a view when and only when it's going to be reused.

> Postgres optimizes across views, but not across CTEs

Sadly true, and one of the few big gripes I have with Postgres. I half recall reading that they are reconsidering this decision, so there's hope.

OK, I'll give it a shot. This isn't a criticism of TDD per se, but of over-reliance on code coverage tools.

Because it's easy to measure whether you're exercising every code path, software engineers think in terms of how close they are to "100% coverage" of tests. What you really should be thinking about is whether you're exercising every possible input, not every possible code path.

"OpenBSD should implement virtualisation (in this case, Xen) due to its security benefits."

A specific answer that only took a day to form.

"If you actually read the thread"

Still this again, though. That's three people whose position is that anyone wanting to know OpenBSD's position on virtualization should spend 20m-1hr digging through threads like that and many dozens of hours watching video presentations/interviews. Just in case the answer's there. That's quite unreasonable given one link to a definitive answer on a mailing list, site, etc is all it would take. It's not a one-off thing as this topic comes up endlessly with them having the same response minus some exceptions.

So, given them acting that way, it's a reasonable default for outsiders to assume they didn't give a crap, got way behind on virtualization, cite comments like that just to save time, and finish by adding they're finally doing something. It's actually more effort than OpenBSD supporters put in those discussions. At least one had the wisdom to send me a video with Theo straight up saying it wasn't a priority. QED on whole topic. See how easy that was?

Not so easy in certain circles it seems...

> So any theory of "geographical stunting" would need to explain what changed in the geography after 1492.

What changed was technology. Once you have ships going back and forth across the Atlantic, everything changes. Europeans introduced cows, sheep, pigs, chickens. The New World's only domesticable native animal is the llama, which is the main reason why civilizations sprung up in Central and the northern parts of South America, that's where llamas were.

Now, to the Europeans, with vastly superior farming technology, the Caribbean and North America were veritable cornucopias of geopolitical possibility. Islands sheltered plantations. Europe could project real power only very closely to the shore, where the big naval guns could reach. The reason was supply. To maintain a group of soldiers requires not just food but adequate clothing, weapons, ammunition, and horses to carry all of that.

It took over a century of growth for a colony to get to the point to where it could maintain and supply an army for deeper treks inland. By that time the colonies would have been deeply entrenched in native political systems. Because the warships protecting your colony could only hang around for so long, colonies were quite vulnerable to native military action, or even just having them hang around outside the settlement and killing whoever goes outside, say, to chop wood. It made sense for settlers to be nice to the locals, at least at first.

CGPGrey just put out a fantastic video comparing the Old and New Worlds that neatly explains why Europe won and the Western Hemisphere lost. The actual mechanism was disease, which does not require a supply train, but there's a lot more to the story.

I see the western propaganda is still hard at work here. This allegedly growing threat just keeps growing every year and escalated to what ? While the wars mentioned in the article of this post was made by the west.

The Western EU armies have been reduced only by turning them into a joke - they're active nowadays as NATO forces for abowe mentioned oil wars, while outer EU states can't keep the EU border intact and are flooded by people of unknown origin - until they arrive at their destination.

Ask HN: What does the rising value of the US dollar mean for me?
I'm wondering how the value of the US dollar affects both my personal wealth as well as the US economy as a whole. EDIT: I live in the US.
If people are doing this, it's no wonder there's a crazy bubble going on.

Here's a better plan: Buy a huge house for a fraction of that money in the north of England, rural Spain, anywhere in Japan which isn't Tokyo, etc., and telecommute to work.
The key to making strong systems is to make each component do one thing, and do it well, the Unix way. Each plane does one thing, does it the best. When the leader deploys each plane to do that job, he can count on it. The last time we tried to make one plane do it all we got the F-111, which also didn't do anything the best, except the FB-111 made a fine bomber. Past, repeat, etc. Don't build the complexity into a component; build it into the overall system, the whole computer, not the individual plane or program.

If the house was your primary residence, and not an investment instrument, you didn't really "lose" anything - other property is now also cheaper, and you always need somewhere to live.

Sure, you're paying more than you would have if you waited, but you were happy to pay XXXXUSD per month to have somewhere to live, and your relative mobility has actually increased if we assume that the housing market fell by a flat percentage.

Do you live in the US, because that fact is going to change the answer substantially!

Let's assume you live in the US. First, its important to note that when we say the US dollar is rising, its always in reference to something else, usually another currency, or basket of goods.

A rising dollar against another currency means that good from that country become cheaper to you. This means its cheaper for you to travel abroad and to buy imported goods from other countries.

But, it also means that its more expensive for you to sell your goods abroad as the foreign buyers will have to pay more to buy your goods. it also makes it more expensive for foreign investment in your country.

Now as to your personal wealth, it might not matter at all. You still have the same amount of US dollars.

If the goods you consume are produced locally with no foreign involvement then you may end up net neutral.

My personal experience with open source drivers versus Catalyst is that Catalyst is generally buggier (Xorg takes 20% memory at times (memory leak)) while the open source drivers work perfectly and have similar FPS (haven't done benchmarks, but it can't be more than 10-20%).

It's probably related to the relative maturity of an economy.

In a growing economy, the odds of offspring doing better than parents is a function of the economy as many new avenues to prosperity open up. On the one hand is China where children have more opportunity than parents, on the other hand is Japan, a mature economy where growth has plateaued so there aren't massive opportunities for newer generations.

Also, after a certain level of achievement, there isn't much more to be had. So the progress would be incremental, on average, rather than tectonic, after the plateauing.

In other words, it's not expected that in large diversified economies there is the possibility for everyone to become a magnate.
I grew up on a farm, limited income but lots of personal freedom. Six of us kids: 5 Engineers and a Nurse. After 1000 generations of dirt farmers, it was a good change. No inheritance except the opportunity to personally succeed. Folks like us were launched by their parents.

But there are others who stayed about where they started (or rather their parents) who can't see much improvement in the last 20 years.

I agree with your parent statement that there is a Turkish willfulness to escalate.
