This is a fantastic step forward for Julia, and array-oriented computing in general.

Routines that smoothly generalize to arrays with an arbitrary number of dimensions is also a strength of NumPy -- it's the core idea behind NumPy's "universal functions" [1] like sin or exp.

Writing custom ufuncs in C is not easy, but Numba makes it straightforward to write fast ufuncs in Python [2]. For many of the use cases described here, it's a pretty solid alternative. In general, I think Numba's ufuncs are under-appreciated -- they make it easy to write fast code that works on any number of array dimensions, and even automatically respect metadata when called on array-like objects from third party libraries like pandas.

Unfortunately, we don't have abstractions quite as powerful as eachindex and CartesianRange in NumPy/Numba. This makes for some awkward work-arounds and optimization constraints (e.g., see my project Numbagg [3], and discussions on the Numba issue tracker [4]). That said, I don't think there's any reason why these abstractions couldn't also be implemented in Numba, and I would love to see that happen.

Yes. It was created to do DVB-S to campus LAN streaming.
Didn't his partition do that? N/2 and it's just swapping so constant storage.

Many things would have blown the socks off people of a previous time. That doesn't make them all AI, especially since many of the results we see today are not due to novel techniques a ten-years-ago AI researcher wouldn't have known about, but rather to ten years' worth of advancement in refining the techniques and in the availability of computing power to use those techniques with. A lot of it is just "yeah, if we could've got X to run that fast or had that many processors to throw at it, we'd have had that back then".

So if you want to describe Google as a (insert thing here) company, really the thing to insert in the parentheses would be something like "massive computing infrastructure".

And for better or worse, "AI" is still associated in many people's minds with things that the Google search box isn't close to resembling. People expect an AI to hold a conversation, or be able to reach (and explain) novel conclusions, rather than heuristically guess the next word you'll type (given the computing power, not terribly hard given the informational entropy of human languages) or scan a large database quickly to return the result you asked for. People mostly don't see fast brute-force searching of a problem space, for example, as "intelligence", but that's most of the secret sauce behind game-playing "AI".

We receive 5 of those offers per week, with VLC. And the amounts proposed are very very tempting.
I think that's what he's trying to address when he refers to moving the swap point. This is a standard algorithm (e.g. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/partition/), but it's not stable, which means it doesn't meet your requirements.

Stable partition with constant storage is harder. I'm pretty sure it's not possible, but I'm not prepared to offer a proof of that. I believe it (at best) turns into NlgN moves (which is how stable_partition performs as well) no matter what exact approach you take.

Seattle, Onsite | software engineers / firmware engineers / designers (full time)

A few months ago, we (www.glowforge.com) finished the biggest 30-day crowdfunding campaign in history... Just shy of $28M.

We're building a low-cost CNC laser cutter/engraver can create beautiful products in wood, leather, paper, food, and more. We are a fifth the cost of comparable products because we've offloaded much of the functionality to software. Our cloud backend that does motion planning and machine vision to make it dead simple to use. Push a button, out come flat-pack wallets, lamps, board games, and anything else you can dream up.

We're up in Seattle, have $9M in funding from Foundry/True (in additional to ~$28M in crowdfunding), and have 20 employees. The three founders have manufactured hardware, sold companies, gone thru YC, and built profitable businesses... We've got engineers from Google, Amazon, Apple, and a few from less traditional backgrounds.

Our greatest need right now is (web) software engineers, but we're interested in passionate creators of all stripes. To learn more, check us out at glowforge.com/careers!

PS: We'd love to talk to anyone, and especially want to encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply.
Some of the alternatives that seem to work are better capitalism such as YCs "build something people want" model. I'm not sure socialist approaches work very well for programming apart maybe from academia.
Opportunity cost. Better to extract the capital and chase another investment. Liquidate the pig.

Its really difficult to take you seriously if your only real argument is "But but FREEDOMMMMMM". Freedom is being able to say "fuggit, I'm using a better product because I effing well can." Its you exercising your freedom to not log in. Its not demanding everybody do things your way so you don't have to do it anyone else's way.
> In number two they have more control because if an opportunity comes up that costs say 10 billion, Company B can act on that and Company A cannot.

You missed the example completely. Both companies raised $10B, either through debt or equity, and both of them spent/invested the money immediately. Net result: both of them have equal amounts of cash in the bank. But one of them has a market cap $10B higher than the other. Simply because of a tactical choice they made in financing.

There are minor advantages/disadvantages involved in debt vs equity financing. However, these differences are all 2nd order effects. At a macro level, they have remarkably similar financial outcomes. Read up on Modigliani-Miller Theorem if you don't get this concept.
Very cool, congratulations on the launch.

I'd be curious to read a blog post about if/how you beta tested this feature and ensured "fit" of the final shipped feature. Did you have an early adopter / guinea pig group?

If I wanted to make a Zap DAG, would I just arbitrarily linearize it ? i.e. if my deps were,

A -> B
B -> X
B -> Y
B -> Z
X -> C
Y -> C
Z -> C
C -> D

one linearization is A -> B -> X -> Z -> Y -> C -> D

Do you notice implicit dependencies and do actions in parallel where there is no dependency ? Maybe it doesn't matter except for very deep / wide zaps.
This is the kind of bullshit conspiracy theories are made of.

I can't comment on the religion bit, because it's not even false.

But the bit about manipulative, successful people and how jaded one has to be to "see the truth" is complete hogwash. Just because people go to expensive nightclubs, seem sleazy, and claim they made some hugely profitable deals doesn't mean they aren't full of shit. One is only wealthy, when their wealth is stable through time. Consider for example Kweku Adaboli: a trader at UBS who committed massive fraud. The guy lead a super luxurious life, earned 400k GBP + bonus p.a. and still had to take out payday loans. Now he's in jail. Was he to luxurious night clubs? Sure. Illuminati confirmed? No.

Just because you dislike a certain crowd, doesn't mean that that crowd is part of some conspiracy. Most of them are probably massive morons.

D3 and Leaflet maps (2012)
I know a person who made $800,000 a year without having to work much and had another $500,000 an interest income. For whatever reason, this person sold some amphetamine prescription pills to another rich guy (in the open) and scammed his own company for $80 in the same day. He made some crazy investment and was fired, destroying his life.

I know another person who sold a company for $110 million, and tried to scam a major investment bank. There's about 10 con-artists in this group of people, all of them have a variety of wealth, some extreme wealth but of questionable origin.

These people were amateurs and in extremely privileged positions with huge politicians involved with them. Now the politicians weren't involved but I could see a situation developing where something conspiratorial could happen.

But I have never experience this with the government or military. People forget the intelligence agencies have certain mandates, rules, laws, regulations etc. Sure some wild stuff has happened, along with illegal and immoral in the past.

And the general march towards a technocratic supranational surveillance state is concerning, but to me that is the inertia of ignorant power hungry people.

As for conspiracies like 9/11, it seemed to be partially a failed sting operation. And I think the coverup of what CIA and DIA were involved with, leads to the conspiracy theories.

And all the weird elements of 9/11 or other stories, or love, life, the Universe etc., to me seem like echos of distractions, set to feed delusions and one's ego, like there is a firewall of sorts protecting the dangerous from reaching some level of enlightenment or understanding.

When in reality, all this is a computer simulation. And the absurdism to it is screaming out that this isn't real . In my opinion, and Elon seems to believe that-

Let's be realistic for once.

There is no such thing as complete AI. AI means a piece of software that does whatever you tell it to do, acting like a human. Simply

Artificial = Human made
Intelligence = Brain power or thinking power.

We're looking for:

Front-End Developer

- You'd be joining our five-person development team.

- Our app is 100% web-based. Currently it's an MVC style framework + unstructured javascript. You'd be helping us transition to an API-first system with a React.js based frontend

- More importantly, there's a massive scope for UX improvements along the way which have a real impact on our users

Sales/Business Development

- This isn't my area of expertise, but if you email sam@libero.com.au he can take it from there

Shoot us an email at seb@libero.com.au to chat if you're interested.
Being an Azure user for a while, I felt the pain with diagnostics. It is obvious from StackOverflow questions too. Diagnostics is a mess and you don't have a really easy, hands-on way to log something and read it right away. Plus, I really wanted to make something useful for developers, give it back basically.

First, I wrote a nuget library and pushed it out. What I found is, there are barely people who care about such library/service and its possible value to their services/applications. I thought an npm module could make a difference, but still no luck. I started to worry about the size of my target people and market. Is Azure market that small or the community still hasn't evolved that much?
I imagine that many maintainers who don't necessarily feel as dogmatic about free software hold the belief that "if you wish to contact me, you will use the tool I say." I've certainly "maintained" projects that are free software that I had no real desire of spending much time on, so if someone had a question it better come the way that I want, otherwise I can just ignore it. It's not a very kind or classy position, but I think a lot of people feel this way.
I just want to say that VLC is one of the finest pieces of software I've ever had the privilege of running and the contributors to the project should be proud of themselves. It is fast, reliable, and robust. I suspect many who use it don't realize how powerful it is. Its command line interface offers the ability to integrate the automation of complex multimedia processes. It runs everything I throw at it.

Depends. If you intend to show results that could be referenced by a hard link that the user may share (such as search results or blog entries), then pagination is better. Transactions (like bank statements) or lists of lots of similar looking data are better suited for infinite scroll.

If you aiming for performance, it depends on how much data you need to request and if you can shunt or lazy load the data.
You've overlooked a number of vital points that render your logic false. I could explain it to you, but I doubt you'll believe me. This is a very technical and complicated issue. Google for Modigliani-Miller Theorem. It addresses exactly the fallacy you've described.
Then you have to deal with both nodejs and mongo though.

I don't know, there's quite a bit that's new or not yet full developed. We have languages for probablistic programming now, and programming with compositional effects. I think logic programming probably has an important place too, but it hasn't yet been found.

Though not a scientist or researcher, by any measure, I like to think that I understand the viewpoint of both positions...it seems there are two that are quite distinct:

1) Defenders of one of the tenets of the Scientific Method--peer review--and the transparency that that concept demands...

2)Those wary of what the current environment implies might befall those who are totally transparent with both research data and results...

"Research Parisites" are being deemed as synonymous with "Patent Trolls"...

It will be interesting to see how this is sorted...competition is fierce for funding...important fundamental principles, and billions of dollars, are stake...

How not to be a dick
Scenario 1: B's existing public equity and future EPS is diluted by the new issue, and the market cap should remain similar.

This is factually false. Ask anyone with a background in finance and they will tell you so.

Scenario 2: A's share price now has a dividend stream implying future returns, which will increase the future value of the shares.

If companies A and B start off with the exact same market cap, and generate the exact same profits every year, and A keeps paying off the profits in the form of dividends, and B refuses to do so and hoards the profits in its bank account, B's market cap will keep rising further and further ahead of A's market cap. Again, this is a basic financial fact, and anyone with a background in finance will tell you so.
