Generally speaking, yes. Although, if there is an update to glibc, which tends to affect most processes, I tend to reboot the system, anyway.

(On Windows, a lot more updates require a reboot, though, because one cannot replace/delete a file that is opened.)

tl;dr:

The abstract does a wonderful job. It is will worth reading.

Longbow was cheap and technically superior, but required training. Crossbow more expensive, required less training. Rulers of England less worried about rebellion, OK to invest in training. Rulers of France/Scotland not so happy because of fear to give potential of overthrow to the people (Scotland not in title, but in article along with France).

Perhaps an analogy could be painted with companies today. Those that churn, and those that nurture skills.
You only need to restart when there is a kernel update, and the frequency of kernel updates depend heavily on the distro used. Debian stable, for example, although using ancient versions of the packages, is a great OS for such a use case, as kernel upgrades are really infrequent. Have a look at the changelog frequency of Squeeze [1] or Wheezy [2].

Actually, having bothered to pay more attention this morning on the way in, I noticed that the engines that I assumed were diesel were in actual fact electric; I had just assumed diesel from the shape and behaviour.

I think it will fail in the same way as Xtend or (to a certain extent) perl. It puts too much focus on one-off productivity features which results in an inconsistent language with loads of edge cases, and it doesn't have any compelling "you can't do this in Java" selling points, just a bunch of minor syntax sugar.

Ceylon has all the advantages of Kotlin, but put together a lot more coherently, and with a really compelling fundamental feature (union types).
> The more cynical view would be founders going through multiple accelerators are more focused on appearance and "playing the startup game" than actually building a real business.

Yes, these people could exist, and there are legitimate reasons for doing multiple accelerators as well.

The end goal for a very early stage startup accelerator or incubator can be a lot different than a later stage accelerator.

Different accelerators for different specific purposes at different stages in the lifecycle of the company.

Also, what is it with Microsoft that it keeps "silently" adding root certs to its operating system or other services? Does it really not understand that's highly suspicious? Why not publicly announce it?

This isn't the first time it has done this. It makes matters worse in light of all the "silent" upgrades they are doing to Windows 10, many of them about bypassing tools that are stopping its invasive privacy "features".

Well, on Linux distros it is not uncommon for individual packages to be updates as updates become available. So if there is an update to, say, the web server, it is sufficient to restart the web server.

On BSD systems, kernel and userland are developed in lock step, so it's usually a good idea to reboot to be sure they are in sync.

Okay, how about this hypothetical?

Ask yourself if the service you're trying to create would have been valuable, say, 4 years ago. Yes?

Okay, suppose you wrote it in C++ 4 years ago on four year old hardware? Is it still valuable? Yes?

Okay, now write it today in Node and run it on modern hardware. The hardware cost is the same, the service exists, and it was presumably cheaper to write and maintain in Node. Is it still valuable? Yes?

That's why it's reasonable to write apps in Node.js today: the performance and cost are the same as doing it in some "more efficient" language 4 years ago, except the cost to actually build the thing now in Node is (much?) lower.

If you were okay with the hardware costs for the service 4 years ago written in C++, you should be okay with the hardware costs for the service today written in Node.

You can use this argument to support "slow, inefficient" languages for many different kinds of projects (though not all, obviously). And I'm an efficiency nut.
Project Decibel Exposed: Starry to Test Wireless Internet Access
I can understand the frustration because the whole point of the article and the discussions here is that using the scripts functionality of NPM is equivalent to using a task runner, and, according to some here (including myself) superior in most cases.

But you're right that it's maybe not immediately obvious unless you've already played around with the scripts functionality and task runners in general. And I suppose you do need to have a basic familiarity with the concept of piping data from one unix command to another, running commands in sequence or parallel, the difference between "&", "&&", ";", and "|" etc. Not to mention the difference between STDERR and STDOUT which I still don't fully master. Thankfully this has almost never been an issue in practice.

That said, I strongly suggest you take this opportunity to continue diving into this issue and maybe trying out both approaches yourself. My own experience getting into the node ecosystem and back-end stuff has been that I wasted countless hours on figuring out task runners, solving weird bugs and issues, switching from grunt to gulp, where I could have avoided all that by learning how to use the npm scripts functionality instead.

As a bonus, becoming more familiar with *nix approach to stringing together commands has been incredibly useful for many other things! For example, I've been able to replace certain scripts (backups, ftp synchronization, data conversion) with much simpler solutions that rely on this OS-wide functionality.
I can't say I know, but I don't think they can simply replace them at will, otherwise wouldn't existing certs just stop working?

Types on the end are very common in many languages, a lot more common (and IMO readable) than lisp-style (+ a b) which you have to learn to use clojure.

An optional type system is almost useless (believe me I spent a lot of time trying to use the checker framework in Java before switching to Scala), because libraries don't have to follow it, and you never know whether the type definitions for a given library are true or not.

Scala is generally immutable by default and has persistent data structures.

STM is great but you can do it fine in Scala. It's just not a language-level feature because it doesn't need to be - Scala is expressive enough that you can write an STM implementation in a library.

Scala's DSL support is great (look at e.g. Spray route definitions) and can usually done in ordinary code without macros, which in turn means you have full IDE and tool support for them. The trouble with lisp DSLs is that your syntax still has to look like lisp - the support for e.g. infix operator syntax is quite limited (you have to use reader macros which are more complicated and harder to work with). But for a lot of business domains the natural language of the domain uses infix operators.

You're right that some aspects of logographic languages can hint at meaning and pronunciation, but those are still just hints. The only way to be sure is to memorize.

Take your example of 仲. How is that pronounced? In Japanese, 人 is typically pronounced "jin", "nin", or "hito" depending on context. 中 is usually pronounced "chuu" or "naka." How do I know these things? Rote memorization. While I can recognize that 仲 contains 人 and 中, that doesn't tell me how to say 仲. The only reason I know its pronunciation is because I memorized it. (In this case, it happens to be the same as 中.)

And that's just for reading. Writing is worse. Character amnesia is extremely common among native speakers of Chinese and Japanese. From Wikipedia[1]:

> Another anecdotal example can be seen during a spelling bee show hosted on CCTV in 2013, where only 30% of participants were able to write "toad" (Chinese: 癞蛤蟆; pinyin: Lài há ma) in Chinese.

That sort of thing simply can't happen in phonetic writing systems.

A Moldovan headache for Europe
The Sharpe author Bernard Cornwell wrote a couple of novels set in / around Agincourt and from memory there are a few extras to throw in - but I love your last sentence's conclusion

1. The extra training was enormous - thik of an army of a thousand Arnold Schwarzeneggers - these guys cold deliver hundreds of foot pounds from their arms. Robin Hood would have been built like The Rock, not Kevin Costner.

2. The "cheap" idea is misleading - in preparation ofr agincourt a huge amount of the English economny was turned over to making arrows. During Agincourt an estimated 3/4 million arrows were fired. When looking at economics of ranged weapons, don't compare Bows to guns, think RPGs

3. Agincourt changed everything for a generation. Thanks to mud, foolishness, and yes, longbows, France lost an entire generation of aristocracy in one day. The english were being chased out of the country and suddenly ... owned everything.

4. finally, crossbows really are the better weapon - once you start factory-making them, your army can be raised and trained faster, you are not tied down to a specfific class of army recruits and you dont have to feed Arnie.
I'm not convinced it's a parody. That would suggest their writing style is done as a joke; referencing British tabloids while distancing themselves as a comedy version. More likely El Reg's informal writing style is a deliberate and serious decision driven by the requirement to gain more readers (read: eyeballs on their ads). ie the same reasons any tabloid is written they way they are.

Maybe even Tim Ferriss (4HWW).

I think that the way this paper discusses on the longbow as being the superior weapon may obscure a key fact here. Man for man, a crossbow is a superior weapon; requires less skill to operate, has longer range, much easier to aim, better penetrating power. The main advantage of a longbow is how simple and cheap it is.

Speed of reloading is another advantage the longbow has, but I think this article overstates it. While some crossbows do require using a stirrup or crank to load them, there are others that you can reload against your hips, and shoot from there, to increase your speed considerably, at some cost to accuracy. I know people who have managed to get 6 bullseyes at 20 yards on a crossbow in 30 seconds. Meanwhile, archers would not be firing at the maximum possible rate in battle; ammunition is a limited resource, and with the draw weights of warbows fatigue would set in quickly. Overall, with the archers they had and bows they had at the time, it is likely that the longbows were able to be a little faster than the crossbows, but it's not a night and day thing; and the range, accuracy, and penetrating power on the crossbows were better.

The simplicity became an advantage in a few battles, which came after substantial rainstorms that caused problems with crossbows more complicated mechanisms. But the main advantage was how cheap and fast to produce they were; you could easily arm a large populace quite quickly. In order to take advantage of the longbow, you had to do that; you needed a very large number of archers to effectively take advantage of longbows, while you needed fewer archers to be effective with crossbows. But because it was cheap and simple, it was feasible to do that.

I think that cost and simplicity of the longbows were their biggest advantage; speed perhaps a secondary factor, but the sheer numbers were likely to be more important.

There is, of course, an interesting parallel here with some trends in modern military spending. The Joint Strike Fighter is a technological marvel; one of the most advanced pieces of military equipment ever. However, they are staggeringly expensive, and not actually the best dogfighters in the sky. You wonder how much more effective spending that money on more and simpler weaponry might have been.

not true at all, I can attest French public transport for example is slow and basic compared to swiss one (apart from TGV trains, which covers just few main places).
In Switzerland, you don't have to use car because train will get you there as fast/faster than car in most cases. good luck with that anywhere around unless you travel between train stations.

It's my understanding that a longbow has a greater range than a cross, especially one in the 1300s.
One cannot use string library in Rust against byte slices. For example, regexp works only against strings making it unsuitable for processing, say, log files, that may contain non-utf8 bytes.
Closure compiler advanced mode is an optimizing compiler that will perform several nontrivial transformations while also making your source smaller. Uglify is a minifier, and just makes your source smaller.

Apples and oranges comparison. Of course the technology that does more will be slower, especially when the 'more' requires a great deal of analysis on the input.

Note: I'm not saying closure compiler is better, I actually tend to think that it is not for most usages, as the language it compiles is 'pretty much but not really javascript', and the difference there makes it hard to add into an existing build process with confidence.

Not inaccurate specifically, but sometimes heavily steeped in editorial bias and dramatisations that an uninformed reader would easily draw inaccurate conclusions from the piece.

A lot of news networks operate this way. Since they all often publish the same stories from the same sources, they end up competing with each other to publish the most dramatised interpretation of the facts in an effort to win rating. The Register just stands out as being one of the worst offenders (or most successful - depending on your view point).

> The vast majority of digital logic works on only the rising edge of the clock. This means that transaction only happen when the clock toggles from 0 to 1, and nothing happens when going from 1 to 0.

Actually the majority of digital circuitry clocks data at the falling edge (0→1) transition. For example when programming SPI bus components it's only the odd outlier that requires the clock polarity to be inversed.

1) The Tesla just surpassed the Leaf as the most popular electric car (yes, even with the price difference).

2) Electric car perks are everywhere and rarely mentioned. Free charging, way better parking, fielding questions from curious onlookers, more cargo space, no noise, no warmup, no oil changes, etc.)

3) In the winter months in areas of the world with real seasons (read: not San Francisco area), cabin heating will detract significantly from your range on a long 20 degree F drive.

It's a very tabloid-y tone. Other commenters have used the word "informal", but that's not quite right. There's a certain over-the-topness that clearly distinguishes the tabloid press (British, American, German, etc) from a casual blog covering the same subject, for example.

As the long as the charging is not way faster I do not see mass adoption.

If you're using cars just in the city then charging is no issue but for long distance travel it is one. Only way is to own at least two cars but this can't be the solution.
Since people would start to want to buy cars more frequently because of the constant increate in performance/features (which the article is saying will be faster than the current state of motor innovation), would the car manufacturers be able to offer lower-cost models that would be bought every 3/4 years.

They could recoup the money from cheaper cars from the faster purchase cycle.

Or else move to a leasing model (this is becoming more popular with people I know in the UK, Ireland).
