Lucidworks' Fusion is such a product. It has a lot of goodness built into it to enrich the Solr indexing and querying experiences. For example query pipelines, connectors for importing from almost all imaginable datasources, indexing pipelines that enrich the documents, including NER/NLP etc.
I personally find it odd to create every component as a jquery plugin. To me, it makes more sense to write a plugin only when you're extending jquery core functionality itself in some way.

As far as "extending" goes though, it's not always clear. Is a date picker extending jquery's core? I personally think not, but there has evolved an expectation that every web component must be initialized like so:

$('#container').doSomething();

So I suppose a lot of people do it that way just to have a familiar look to their API, or even just to show up in listing as a jquery plugin.

The game itself, however, scales exponentially, and there's nothing to do about that, so if you enlargen the board, no computer... And no human may be able to play it well.

The achivement was a leap towards the human level of play (and quite possibly over it). There might be additional leaps, which will take AIs WAY beyond humans, but none of those will scale linearily in the end. (And yeah, I guess you didn't want to say that either)

I see two options. 1) - let them do it. Give them list of requirements, 2 days, then pass it to QA and let them deal with all the fixes. Then measure how much time it actually took to get 100% of required functionality. That's the best way, but requires their cooperation - usually forced from above. Alternatively you can try to split features you working on into detailed tasks (adding a button: add a button, test in browser 1, test in browser 2, write backend logic, write tests for backend logic, deploy, etc.) detailing how much time each step can take. This will make you job more visible. Some people are not fixable though.

India challenges 65,000 H-1B cap in the U.S
I've gotten a take home test that took all Saturday. I finally finished it happy with myself and with my work and emailed it in. The response was "thanks, are you ready for the next exercise?" i was like.. um.. I really need to get on with my weekend. This was deferred to the big boss who said "It's ok just do it whenever you have time next" .. ook so that was my next Saturday. Worst part is that after turning that in, and I am fairly certain both were done really well, I never heard a word back from them. I was frustrated as hell but you know, that's all part of the job. Sometimes you waste a little time while you look for work. Look at other industries such as acting, actors could easily spend a day going to auditions waiting in lines preparing for characters and never getting a callback. My dad is in construction and for him to make an appraisal he has to study the house and waste a ton of time doing crazy calculus mapping out exactly how much area it takes and how much siding it will need considering the weird shapes around the chimney and how many hours it will take to cover it. You want to give yourself some padding but then he most likely won't get the job because the owner will go against other "free" appraisals and take the lowest bidder. If he goes too low he's risking working extra days for free or earning very little on the job. So doing all that free work is pretty much part of his job. As I hiring manager I try to waste as little time as possible, but at the same time I feel like a lot of programmers are spoiled and quick to complain about their time and pretty much expect to just get hired after 2 hr interview. This is someone you're hiring potentially for years (and any mistakes are hard to fix later) so yes, time will be wasted on both sides to try to ensure a good fit.

Sorry, I was adding more information since I thought it was interested for outsiders to objectively learn about what is happening in Sweden.

I haven't said anything about immigration, but that we have a mainstream media that have specific political bias is proven [1] and that people don't trust media is also well known [2].

It IS the common view Swedes have, or at least one of the more common. The reason why media is not objective is simple: there is no one there with different opinions that get air to vent the counter arguments. That is why there is such a huge traffic going to "alternative media" which is almost as popular as the state sponsored SVT. [3]

Nearly no web framework is per request multi core (e.g. multi core HTML / JSON rendering, assuming backend operations already async). So each request will be slow.

[Edit:] Not sure for the downvote, would be interested what's wrong in my comment.
Kimsufi is good (used to be with them), but there are a few drawbacks:
1. Only one IP allowed. No way to request more.
2. No KVM access-- Delimiter has HP iLO

I have to disagree about the better hardware as well because
even the slower Delimiter offering is faster than Kimsufi's fastest offering: https://cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5420+%40+2.... vs http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5504+%40...

OVH's SoYouStart is also a good choice, but it is pricy in comparison.

Both Kimsufi/Delimiter/Et al should really only be used where support or downtime doesn't matter.
As solid as your argument may be, everyone saw arguments like this over and over. Every single time they were solid. For a time, it was the high frequency noise that would not be manageable (80s), then heat dissipation (90s), then limits on pipeline optimization (00s) and now size constraints on transistors. They were all hard barriers, deemed impossible and all were overcome.

I already know that your answer will be: "but this time it is a fundamental physics limit". Whatever. I'm jaded by previous doomsday predictions. We'll go clockless, or 3D, or tri-state or quantum. It'll be something that is fringe, treated as idiotic by current standards and an obvious choice in hindsight.
No, they haven't shown that the same kind of intelligence required to play go can be implemented in computer software. The methods AlphaGo uses are not the same as the intelligence a human uses at all. What they have done is prove an implementation of computer go in software is capable of beating a human player, not that they have implemented the same kind of intelligence as the human player.

It's only difficult because no one threw money at it. It's like saying going to Mars is difficult. It is - but most of the technology is there already, just need money to improve what was used to go to the moon.

I see AlphaGo more of an incremental improvement than a breakthrough.

That's true, but the ways to train them and ways to apply them to real world problems have really improved.

I don't think people misunderstood your question. Whether you intended it that way or not, asking if a scientific discovery has a practical application is a loaded question that gets asked every time something is discovered in physics. Sometimes it is used to undermine the money being poured into scientific research, other times just to belittle the discovery.

The reality is that these discoveries are important in themselves for furthering science. The applications come at a later point when the engineers need something with these new cool properties.

I don't think it's silly at all.

If enough people decline to invest in evil stocks, the companies whose stocks they are will find it harder to raise money by stock offerings, which will make them a bit less likely to succeed and therefore also make it harder for them to raise money by selling bonds.

These effects will typically be small, and in the case of a single person declining to invest in evil stocks they will typically be so small that it's obviously correct to ignore them completely. But if the EMH requires them to be zero, I'm not seeing why. Could you explain?

Being able to train in solitude is an advantage indeed. You need two humans to do this, but you also need two AlphaGo-instances as well.

I don't think there's much to compare there. Hetzner's servers are a completely different price range. Unless you get a used one here: https://robot.your-server.de/order/market (URL looks suspicious, but it's Hetzner, I promise).
These are servers that are fairly old and out-dated and whose users have discontinued their contracts; now they're being auctioned off so Hetzner doesn't have to throw them out. But these, I'd say, are also difficult to compare because of the old hardware vs. the new but low-cost hardware of the scaleway ones.

> If a number is printed on a computer display, it must look like 123456.78, not like "123 456,78"!

Humans find thousands separators useful. You're asking humans to give up useful things because they're hard to program.

That said, I idly wonder whether they could be implemented with font kerning. The bytes could be 123456.78, but the font could render it with extra space, as 123 456.78.

I don't know if it's possible with current font technology, and there are probably all sorts of problems with it even if it is, but it might be vaguely useful.
Right, but just as a contrast: Technological progress speed has been at an all-time high since the begin of the industrial revolution.

It might as well slow down again and we have to remember that most humans in history saw little to no advances in technology over their lifetime.
