> That way we can reimplement existing, common facilities not once, but N times -- and still not support what I was alluding to (namely, allowing specific subcomponents written in a language appropriate for that component).

Ah sorry did not realize you meant that. Well the other answer is that more powerful languages can support more expressive and diverse embedded languages.

> Fine, but then there's little advantage to mandating a single address space and language.

Rigorous interfaces != primitive interfaces, but Unix forces both those on us. For example, how feasible is it to share a tree between to processes? Powerful languages allow us to specify the end-goals of per-process address spaces etc, while leaving the means much more open ended.

I'm hoping Donald Trump helps to solve this (or rather, helps the GOP implode.). The Republican party has been an ideological mess for the better part of a decade, and that anti-intellectualism is coming back around to bite them in the ass. When men of substance spend all their time tearing each other down, why is it a surprise that a clown is the only one able to rise above the fray?

We've needed to hit the reset button on the Republican party since the mid-90s. We're finally getting a chance now that the GOP's corporate backers have so obviously lost control, so hopefully we'll be able to get back to normal within a decade or so.

Well, the join us button just directs people to the standard Careers page, so I'm not sure what's interesting about that part.
But that struggle being lengthened also means the continued systematic oppression of certain groups for decades, perhaps even generations longer. I'm unsure if that's really acceptable to say "eventually worthwhile things will get through" when groups of people right now are dealing with systemic social issues.

If a homosexual person is fired for being homosexual (legal in many states), is it really acceptable to approach that with "well if its truly worthwhile to fight for, sexuality will eventually become a protected class"?
Hey, this seems like an application of induction. You choose some property you want to prove about your program, show it is true before the loop (base case), then show it remains true for any next iteration (inductive step), therefore it is true for all iterations.

It reminds me of the hand-wavy inductive proofs I run through my head when I write recursive functions. Usually it's not even about eliminating bugs, it's just the most natural way to understand why the code works. It seems less natural for imperative for/while loops but still a good tool to keep in mind.

I found that Ruby and Clojure development with Emacs was fine but using IntelliJ was too slow. It supported my writing tools fine.

Those that I consider my closest friends right now, we mostly only see each other once a week and play board games with each other.

I'd say 90-95% of what we do is play board games together, but I know what's going on in their lives and they do mine, and I've attended their special events like birthdays and housewarmings and weddings, and helped them out when they needed it and supported them in their endeavors.

If that's not being a friend because we mostly just do a 'single activity', then I very much disagree with your definition.

I do agree about not having seen each other for years and there's no awkwardness when you get back together being a mark of friendship though. I have that with my old high school friends, and I'm sure it'd be the same with my main friends today.

The really interesting thing will be room-scale.

Oculus Rift is inherently designed for a sit-down experience with optional controllers, Vive allows room-scale experiences with controllers included. That's a pretty fundamental difference in the way your users will experience your media. Also, room-scale will essentially require a dedicated VR room free of obstacles. As such I'm guessing many Vive users will be having a sit-down experience too.

I expect that a lot of the first-gen stuff will be cockpit simulators like EVE: Valkyrie, because it's the lowest common denominator. It's in HTC's best interest to push room-scale content because that is an effective lock-in for them at this point, but that means targeting a small minority of VR users, and I think that's going to be a difficult experience to adapt for the majority userbase of sit-down users.

Not true. Someone on the Internet can mark your router's external IP as the gateway for your internal network range and send packets to your internal devices fine.

A Klein bottle is a 2-dimensional manifold. It can't be embedded in R3, but it can be embedded in R4. This is not what people normally mean by "4d", though. It is like a Moebius strip in that they are both 2-dimensional non-orientable manifolds, though of course a Moebius strip can be embedded in R3. The Moebius strip has a boundary, which sometimes excludes it from a strict definition of "manifold".

Hi Jeremy,

As I understand it, there is a big difference between "strong" (e.g. the terminator) and "weak" (e.g. automatic image tagging) AI.

Are these basically philosophical terms by now? The knowledge engines of Watson and Wolfram Alpha are still one-step and data driven. Is there any hope for strong AI, or is it mostly a pipe dream?
I'm having trouble finding any numbers that suggest greenfield development is more common than maintenance development. My own experience is that most of my work is done on existing code bases, and I am more productive when the coders before me spent the extra time to make sure the code is adaptable to new situations.

Can you point to some empirical evidence to the contrary?

Edit: I had some more thoughts about this, specifically that there is a survivorship bias to legacy code. Not all projects survive, but when they do that code can live a long life of maintenance. If you are involved in the startup world, it may make more sense to get it done quick & dirty in order to get funding than to write "good" code. That might explain the disparity of our experiences.

There is no sensible reason in using the various patterns -- such as to "start humbly by saying you might be wrong / you're not sure / ..." -- "to dull the edges of an opinion" when the commenter can simply prefix whatever he is saying with "In my opinion, " and be done with it.

Why call ourselves intelligent beings and rely on such archaic tricks?

Also, in regards to this pattern being "the root" of a lot of great discourse you have experienced in person (in particular) - what I can say is that I have found such patterns/ tricks to be only necessary when I'm feeling even the slightest malice towards the subject matter or the other person (requiring mellowing down the said feeling); in every other case, a straightforward/ direct stating of the opinion (with little to no adverse feelings involved) has been the most propitious course of action.

You still deliver the mobile runtime as a static library, but the compiled library contains the entire LispWorks runtime minus the native code compiler (which is a constraint of the lack of executable memory on iOS). The runtime contains a byte-compiler however, so the runtime is still available intact in fairly complete form. You just need to make sure that CLOS and everything you care about for interactive development is kept during delivery (see the Delivery guide for details). How you deal with the lack of compile-file is up to you, (you can easily just treat it as a no-op, or a loader) but I personally installed my own function which remotely invokes the cross compiler to compile new ARM64 FASL and then save the results in a local directory on the iOS device. It will treat the code like any interpreted code, but it works great for development.

France Based U.X architect Looking for new adventure (remote work or relocation)
Not an expert but I like my IP cameras.

Most people won't want to setup DDNS through their router with a service such as DynDNS (expensive at $40 per year). So the IP camera manufacturers offer DDNS as part of the product. Register the device, and you're up and running with the live camera feed appearing on your phone.

Increasingly the cameras have 2-way mic capability, so it's actually very cool to access it from your phone.

It's possible some of the fear is coming from not understanding the connections taking place as part of the DDNS. The actual video stream does not need to be uploaded to the manufacturer, unless they offer media management, backup etc and you've opted in. I prefer saving the video triggered from motion sensors etc to a local NAS.
It's not just a German problem. Over 80% of Polish media are owned by German media companies and conglomerates and, IIRC, the bulk of it is divided between Axel Springer and Bauer. I think that it doesn't take much of a leap to see the political implications.

You're right that old people have always held power. The difference now is that 'old' people are not the 45 year olds of previous generations. Instead, wealth is disproportionately concentrated in the hands of much older - 60's through 80's, thanks to modern medicine.

This tends to push back the timeline of wealth acquisition: the boomers being such a big demographic along with the economic crisis in 2008, and what I see in my highly progressive US city is a massive failure for late Gen X and older millenials to form households: children, mortgages, and the typical consumption patterns this usually breeds.

There are advertisements for IVF treatments on our metro. I'd say 30-40% of educated women are unable or unwilling to have children due to the inability to find a stable partner (who's also educated). I make well over 6 figures and my girlfriend also does pretty well. Together, we'd still need to pay half our joint salary to afford a mortgage on a typical home in a area close to our jobs. There is no way a couple with the median income could do the same without leveraging a huge amount of debt relative to income.

Whether I'm able to do so or not, I'm defintely not willing. Jobs are not certain - I'm always waiting for the next crisis or recession and lay off. No way in hell would I want to be in so much debt in this system. Same for children (along with family court, but I digress).

I'm guessing our politicians see this and understand that the whole pyramid will come crashing down, hence the elite's push for more and more immigration.

Maybe the solution would be, instead of subsidizing foreigners, to create massive tax breaks for locals to procreate - housing, child care, etc. But that wouldn't do anything to push down wages, so it's obviously a no-go in today's political debate.

Why everyone is wrong about Disruptive Innovation and what it actually means
The cost of the alternative is basically how value is defined in economic theory. Similar to the term "opportunity cost".

There doesn't seem to be a better way to define value. You could say it's the subjective intrinsic value customer places on the item/service. But if you try to quantify that, you're left looking at the value of the things he's willing to give up to obtain it.

There is no effective solution to any of these problems. Nothing works.

They are consequences of the money. We use money because we do not understand each other. Money is far more than a commodity. It has its own live and rules.

What is possible is to do small tunings with taxes and laws. That's all.

Yeah, we obviously agree that two different protocols are different protocols.

I'm not saying pre-fork and post-fork bitcoin are equivalent, or the same protocol version. That's a strawman. the term "Bitcoin" is obviously different from "ECMAScript 5/6" and "HTTP 1.1/2.0" in that it's not a version of a protocol/standard. Bitcoin is a term for the overarching thing, just like "Javascript" and "HTTP" are overarching terms for those, encompassing multiple standards etc.

Again, "altcoin" already has a term unrelated to protocol. "altcoin" means a cryptocurrency that is not closely related to bitcoin.

You're talking strictly about protocols and versions there (which, btw, bitcoin should just version its protocols), but that's not what "Bitcoin" means to the common man.

You're making my argument for me by comparing "HTTP 2.0 isn't HTTP 1.1", but they're both HTTP, not gopher or ftp.
