Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/350/
"On the freeway, rewarding drivers 1 cent for every minute that they kept their speed at 50 mph resulted in a traffic planner’s dream: a smooth flow of vehicles all traveling at the optimal speed for maximum road utilization."

I'd happily lose that "reward" to drive faster.
If you want to keep everyone driving at a certain speed for extended periods of time, there is only one way that really works - average speed cameras as implemented in the UK. There are long stretches of the motorway(50 miles long for example) where you have a camera at the entry point and at every exit point - the camera reads your licence plate when entering and when leaving, calculating your average speed based on time.

For the entire length of the limited zone people do drive at the limit, because everyone knows that there is absolutely no escape from the fine. At a regular speed camera or police checkpoint you can slow down momentarily only to accelerate again. There's no escaping average speed cameras.
Their ATM locator API doesn't really work in France, I just tried for the Paris suburb and the nearest ATM found was miles away. There are dozens of them between the test location and the closest one returned.
Agreed, I think timing with Go is a huge factor. Though I think the size and scope of Go's popularity is overstated. I looked into it for a recent web project and found many formerly popular libraries now unmaintained. I felt more confident and went with Django on Python 3.5.

If I want something compiled, the killer for Go for me has always been C ABI incompatibility. It's its own island. I'm not saying I wouldn't consider using Go for some things, but that has been a big redflag vs other choices.
Very cool.

Why do you modify your code as it plays? Could you simplify and abstract your expressions to call them along a predictable flow pattern? This reminds me of Knuth's beautiful representation of recurrence relations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Complexity_of_Songs

(Aside: His later work on Constraint Based Music Composition https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9512962 also offers some interesting insight as to what could come from algorithmic musical composition.)
Does Go have an interactive debugger yet?
You have to read the next article (it's the link at the bottom), which then describes in detail how one driver can indeed remove traffic jams. The first article explains how traffic jams form, so you can understand in the second article why a certain behaviour fixes the problem.

Meh. The American way would be "Build a street for font, and see which one people are willing to pay more for"
There is another type of jam which is stop light jams which is caused by people accelerating to slowly and taking up to much space between cars.

The same behavior that reduces stress on the high way can in that case actually increase stress on smaller roads.

> The whole thing should be viewed as a horrific embarrassment

Even if her problems are something which can easier provoke empathy in readers here (as in "I could be her") they are insignificant compared to the problems of the people in Iraq in which they are as the effect of the political decisions of the government for which we assume that it did what its duty is and which got the wide support for the war: the US government which according to their own press statements did this "to bring democracy" and "because of WMD" in Iraq. It turned out there were no WMD there and that the "proofs" were a lie.

http://www.salon.com/2015/05/20/george_w_bushs_cia_briefer_a...

The US soldiers who were there are probably the most credible source to talk about what they've actually brought there. For the current results just look at the map that includes ISIS controlled territories:

And the statistics:

Not to mention neighboring Syria and what's left from the country there.

Are we able to have empathy for the people there too?

I could swear there was a post just in the last month on HN that with a title of something like "Massive gains from rewriting our C++ project in... C++"
The point of wealth inequality is, that it is rapidly increasing -- particularly in the last 20 years.

The parent poster implied, that by increasing the wealth of some, all will benefit. In my country, this was not the case in the last 20 years. The middle class that was rather broad and healthy, is loosing particularly in the less wealthy part -- many of those people fall down the ladder and are poor and will be even poorer when they are in old age.

My country once was one of the wealthiest of the world, because many people where wealthy and earned good money. It was unthinkable once, that big parts of the society might be poor or have to live from "soup kitchens" -- today it is reality and all projections show, that it will become even worse!

To be complete: My country is still one of the wealthiest of the world -- but with a much much smaller fraction of people owning the biggest part of this wealth.

I've read the paper, and I feel like I should be more informed than I am.

I take it this language is designed to allow you to build systems that take very large data sets and transform them in a sort of extremely parallel, map-reduce inspired way using black-box, possibly external services to do so.

What I don't understand, is why this particular language is superior to a general purpose language (say python, for argument's sake) for the task.

Speaking from a level of genuine irritation with my own ignorance here - would someone better informed be prepared to explain?
> I am surprised that people want to use Go for web apps though.

This. I'd put it under consideration for where I'd pick Java (an increasingly limited space now for myself), but I really do not think it competes directly with Python/Ruby or C-ABI compatible compiled languages like Rust. It's on an island like Java. As a result, you're going all-in with Go, but netting a much smaller ecosystem than Java's. I prefer to not go all-in with either.

If I were to reach for Go for webapps, I'd be just as if not more inclined to look at Swift as it matures.
Unfortunately no, I did this code while trying to reproduce the bell sound, I thought it'd be easier to reproduce it by extracting the active frequencies of the original sample, but I could merely obtain the timbre of the instrument. I guess it needs more work (it doesn't take into account the envelope of the bell) and more tweaks.

Alaska was built in the 70s so our towns and cities have very low density "non clustered" making public transit difficult. Consider your example contrasting suburban US and Europe. Alaska is to lower 48 burbs what US burbs are to Europe. We have big lots and we have spread out. So public transit is expensive and it poorly serves us. To compound this difficulty, the majority of villages aren't even connected to the road system. The locals get around with snowmobiles and 4wheelers. Those tend to be more clustered but public transit in a town that has no jobs and 100 people living in 2 sq miles is pointless. I lived in the 4th biggest city in Alaska and it was 8 miles to the nearest gas station and 20 miles to my highschool.

You can't export wind power. The current hope is to build a liquid natural gas line and export that. Unfortunately Gas prices trend with oil prices so getting that built in this market is going to be difficult and potentially unprofitable in the long run.

Figuring out how to have an self contained perpetually sustainable economy is an interesting problem I don't think any nation has figured out. If you have a trade deficit your country/state will become poorer over time a surplus will enrich it. So it's best to try and export and stay ahead of the game or you will bleed out. Alaska needs to export goods because we import most of our food and necessities. Not everyone is willing to live on moose and salmon. (although I sure could)
The reasons for using PICs typically where cost (in the embedded market every cent is counted) and ultra-long device availability (there were only few PICs ever discontinued, and I guess most got some compatible successors).
I used SDCC to write C code for an 8-bit home computer that never officially supported C, it was fun:

http://floooh.github.io/2014/11/09/new-adventures-in-8-bit-l...

It was a fun project, but for 'real world code' that needs to fit into a few hundred bytes and needs to be fast, directly writing assembler code is the only choice on 8-bit CPUs.
Honestly it is very dependent on exactly what you are doing. For general purpose computing on a general purpose machine you're not going to do much better on average than an up to date openblas. In some cases, especially in the parallel case, Intel's MKL BLAS is slightly faster (but in some cases it is also slower).

There is also scikit.cuda which wraps Nvidia's cuBLAS and which can be very fast in certain cases, but isn't in any way a drop in replacement for openblas.

Then there's NumbaPro (a commercial product) from Continuum Analytics which is an LLVM backed JIT that attempts to automatically speed up your numpy coda and can automatically make your code use cuBLAS where it makes sense to do so.

As mentioned in https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/3043#issuecomment-51..., multicast works in bridge driver. It works for the default docker0 bridge network and also other user-defined bridge networks.

Docker 1.9 brought in Native multi-host networking support using overlay driver. Proper multicast support for the overlay driver would require proper multicast control-plane (L2 & L3). Contributions welcome.

I guess the bigger problem is that you'd almost certainly need a staff of medical personnel to monitor and manage the sleeping people (whether they're in a medical coma, held at a low temperature to slow everything, etc.) and you're back to the same problem of how they cope with the time and distance.
Yes, I suppose so. I didn't want to say the 9x line ended, because it's really the line of DOS-based OSes, and while the NT line is ongoing, it's no longer called NT. 2000 was the last version to mention NT, and it wasn't part of the name itself, just a tagline.
Weird caps in the title, "Visa API" would better match how these two words are usually written, in my opinion.

"Visa" is a name, so it should have title caps (I know their branding calls for "VISA" but such is often ignored in non-corporate reporting), and "API" is an abbreviation so it should be all-caps.

I know, I should go back to work.

Here's what I always wondered: how much did Steve need Apple? (The other way around is well known). But couldn't Steve Jobs have done the iPod, iPhone, iPad etc. without Apple? Apple was pretty much in shambles right, when he returned? So what was there that he couldn't do with NeXT (or any other company for that matter)?
If the statistic is inaccurate then it does a bad job at illustrating the inequality, because it's falsity discredits the conversation. In fact, it would be detrimental to the goal of telling the inequality story.

I can't tell if that's a sarcastic Trump endorsement since he's one of the few candidates pledging to expand the surveillance state..

Trump said his position in favor of the NSA data
collection had been the same since before last
month's terrorist attacks in Paris, which stoked fears
of international terrorism and revived debate over
government surveillance measures.

"I assume when I pick up my telephone people are
listening to my conversations anyway, if you want to
know the truth," Trump told Hewitt. "It's a pretty sad
commentary."

[..]

Trump said Tuesday that he would be "fine" with
restoring provisions of the Patriot Act to allow for the
bulk data collection, something candidates such as
former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush have also called for that
was banned with the passage of the USA Freedom Act,
which Cruz supported.

"As far as I'm concerned, that would be fine,"
Trump said.

Watching him position his desk when we switched to a new (large and open) office space is something I'll never forget. He walked around in the middle-ish of the room, snapping his fingers and listening. Suddenly he said "This is it, I'll sit here", and so he did. :)

My observations, having begun actively using a kindle about 3 years ago:

- Digital publishing has a lower barrier of entry.

- The lengths of digital books I read has a much larger variation than that of physical books. It doesn't make sense to physically publish a lone short story in paper, and really long stories previously had to either be culled to fit in one binding, or split into a multi-part series. Digital works are less susceptible to this.

- It's easier to keep up-to-date on my favorite authors when they publish digitally. In some circumstances (writing boards), I get to read each chapter as the writer completes them, rather than waiting until the entire book is complete.

In stark contrast to my reading habits from 5 years ago, I now almost exclusively read self-published works. #1 and #2 have led to me reading some stories that were completely different from anything I've ever seen in print form, like some really snarky story told from the point of view of a rock, only he had no opinions or thoughts, because he was a rock. In general, there's no cost for experimentation (besides time).

Relatedly, I know at least one person who has actually just published their first book in physical form. He only did this after amassing a decent base of fans via his digital publications.

These are just my observations. I'm not necessarily putting one form above the other - I think they actually work pretty well together currently. I see quite a similarity between physical vs digital books and CDs vs digital music downloads. However, the book is intrinsically usable, whereas the CD requires an additional piece of technology to be used.
