TDOP and Pratt are exactly the same thing, Vaughan Pratt is the inventor, Top Down Operator Precedence is the name he gave to the algorithm. And TDOP never "recurses or loops" (the precedence tells it whether it should stop looping). Part of the interest is how object-oriented it is, the main parsing loop ("expression" in the Crockford article) just tells a token "parse yourself as prefix" or "parse yourself as infix preceded by (AST)"
Sorry, but you are wrong.

Turkey was the hearth of the Ottoman empire with whom most of Europe had been at intermittent war for centuries until it was dissolved already after WWI (in fact, because of the outcome of WWI).

They were certainly not a friend and the main historical current is that the rulers of Europe accepted the dangers of the existence of the very powerful Austo-Hungarian empire exactly so that they would act as a military barrier between the Ottoman empire and Europe, otherwise the other European kingdoms would never accept the Austro-Hungarians to have such power inside Europe.

I agree that we have too strong an anthropomorphic view, but disagree that water and carbon are bad assumptions.

There are only a finite number of elements, and these elements are prouduced in similar ways due to radioactive decay and stellar processes. Of these, a simple study shows that carbon is best. Also, life requires some kind of chemistry to reproduce - this is easiest in a liquid, and water is the best, most abundant liquid for the process.

Perhaps a complex molecule is superior to carbon in some way. Or perhaps something could exist and reproduce as a plasma. These materials and conditions may exist somewhere in the universe, but are not nearly as likely as carbon and water.
You're right, of course. But there are some that do, so the general rule is still false.

I found the reverence for Kant to be really misplaced given his views on women, sex etc. But he's the only philosopher widely known in Germany, and his "Sittengesetz" (moral law) even made it into the German constitution (and was used in 1957 by the German constitutional court to justify the criminalization of males having sex with males).
Cellebrite is an Israeli company, not Japanese. They are owned by a Japanese parent company, but I'd argue that is not the same.

If people in China are willing to work for a lower labour standards I don't see why I shouldn't buy from them.

They are already making huge sacrifices working in terrible conditions because they weren't lucky enough to be born in the US or western europe et al. Chinese workers are very smart and hard working, so their position in life is not based on their ability but simply bad luck (relative to people born in the US etc.) The least I could do is buy their labour so that they may improve their lives. If I bought from a US companies most of the money would go to a rich 1% new yacht and new iphones for his daughters. I would rather feed a poor chinese worker family and send a youngster to school.

Is there anybody discussing that there may be a logic behind this decision? E.g. Erdogan pressures German publicly to gain advantange in some other discussions with Germany. Or maybe he wants to gain a stronger following among his people and they like when he starts a fight with a stronger country, and he needs that stronger following because his political opposition is quite strong. Something like that?

I can't believe that he really expected Germany and/or German people to back down about such a topic.
Nice power-play for the IoT market, especially considering that Microsoft is very much an also-ran at this moment, vis a vis shipping actual Microsoft-licensed code in user binaries in IoT-class devices ..

However, this will not lure me away from PlatformIO and SublimeText, which are perfectly cromulate IoT developer tools ..
I meant conceptually because of what you say in your edit. As far as your state variable is concerned, they are parallel. But as you point out, there is implicit screen state (either in the code or in the GPU or wherever) and when updating that, order certainly does matter.

If each draw* function drew to a temp buffer to be composited later, then they could be parallel. But none of this is really relevant to the game-state discussion, though, since we were both talking about (and agreeing, I think) that decoupling is good regardless. Even if just to aid reasoning.

Generally, meta-discussions are considered off topic on HN. Probably because they tend to generate dull comments such as mine here.
Ok, you aren't, but I might. And others too: witness the popularity of otherwise ineconomical farmer's markets, for instance. It supports local industry, which "keeps money in the family" to a large extent (and protects from predatory pricing down the road), and connects with the local industrial community more. You never know when they might know the person that can help you out with whatever glitch. Except when they're on the other side of the world: then you know. You know it won't happen.

I've seen the same (from the student perspective). This philosophy applies to a lot of mid-tier public schools whose major selling point to students is "job marketability".

For certain departments an amount of prestige is owed not just to the research you put out, but how many students you successfully place in jobs in the field.

I studied geography at a mid tier public school and this school of thought was pretty prevalent. The professors used open source software in their research but when I learned statistics it was IBM SPSS and GIS was all ESRI and MapInfo. The department even hand curates a list of alumni and their current employers for marketability to future students.

Racism in Germany is not the same as racism in the US or necessarily other parts of the EU.

"Südländer" ("people from Southern countries") are effectively treated as an ethnic group, although this includes Italians and Spaniards alongside Turks (but in some cases also Arabs and other non-"whites"). There's also the racist slur "Ölauge" ("oil-eye"), which while ostensibly about eye colour is typically used to refer to "Südländer"s.

There are also "Osteuropäer" ("Eastern Europeans"), which effectively refers to Slavs but also "Deutschrussen" (i.e. descendants of German settlers in Eastern Europe who migrated back to Germany recently but are culturally distinct from "native" Germans).

I do agree however that "racism" in Germany tends to be less about specific "foreign" ethnicities (as in the US) but more about nationality (or nationality of the parents/ancestors) -- there's no denying that well-adjusted black Germans face discrimination in Germany but so do less well-adjusted Italians. It's more of a blanket ethno-nationalism than the typical racism you hear about on the anglophone interwebs.

It's not really surprising if you think about the historical roots: while Germany has a colonial history and thus isn't a stranger to mistreating brown people, our history is overshadowed by the Third Reich and its ideals about nationalism and racial purity (blonde, blue-eyed "Aryans" being distinct from mere "whites"). The US OTOH had an entire civil war about slave ownership and even then carried on a long tradition of racial apartheid.
Beautiful comment
I'm not sure how closely you follow the Turkish news, but this is an everyday level of stupidity by Turkish government standards.
Rule #3 "Life is simplest if the targets are built in the current working directory." is not clear at best, or wrong.

Pretty much any size-able project will build 'in' the source directory but create the objects somewhere else. That's what the O= parameter is when building the linux kernel for example.

Allows 'make clean' to have a single directory to delete, allows you to keep a build for gcc, clang, arm, ia64, debug, release etc etc without risking them clobbering each others.

Other than that, yes, 'modern' Makefiles that use % patterns, and most especially VPATH are a LOT simpler than the nightmare from years past. Combined with gcc -MMD to automatically create the dependencies file it becomes very simple to maintain a clean Makefile!

Add some pkg-config magic, and you really don't need autotools and stuff -- libtool can still be handy if you want 'portability' but it's pretty easy to add...
I just can't see them being willing to support all the different and weird configurations (like space bar heating) that exist. I don't believe I have a weird configuration, but I've run into old bugs that nobody wants to fix before, so I really don't think I'll switch to Windows. I just can't imagine that it will be any easier in the long run.
Go look around statues in Ankara or Istanbul to see what you mean?

Turkey was a Muslim Empire, or as you say, club. They took Christians and enslaved them or made them fought their wars with exclusive privileges only to Muslims.

Let's not forget history:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_genocide

Christians were expelled from Turkey or simply exterminated not that long ago. There is people alive that remembers it. From 1 person in five being Christian to 2 in a hundred.

UK has almost no Christianity? Ohhh, dear, everything in UK is Christian. I have lived in UK and in a non Christian country(China, Japan or Korea)to know.
Javascripthon supports converting either a python source file or a python function object directly, but actually using the embedded js interpreter to do the transpilation takes some time due to BabelJS code bootstrap time.

Having a "HOT" interpreter with an execution context that is persistent and can be used to convert code to ES5 on the fly has been already implemented by duckpy creator and i plan to intergate it very soon.

I've been developing professionally for nearly 20 years now. Though, since some of that time was as a high school teacher, it isn't all, super high end stuff, but even there was value in learning how non-programmers think about computers... (One darling example was "what do you mean by file->menu? Menus are for food"

With that 20 years experience (and two non-cs bachelor's degrees) I've now managed to fail interviews at both Facebook and Amazon.

While the Facebook one was (in my opinion) pretty deeply flawed, the Amazon one, the 4 hour version, gave me virtually every opportunity "get it right" and I felt like interviewers were all "on my side"

In the end though, I really felt like if I'd had the full CS experience in university, I'd have had the edge I needed.

Specifically there were portions of technical nomenclature that I fell short on in the object oriented design portion. "What is the word for that thing you're doing there?"

and the dozens of hours spent discussing various efficiencies of search and sort algorithms would have made the extra steps in the optimization portion feel more like second nature.

With all that said, I have recently been doing my research into how and where I might be able to go back to school for the stuff I've missed out on.

U of T or a Waterloo masters? Perhaps Harvard extension schools? (the online version of the school which apparently real Harvard grads sneer at but still has Harvard in the name)... Or maybe there is enough in iTunes U to get what I need.

Whatever I go with, after 20 years programming, I've decided that I may as well take this programming thing seriously. I suspect there is a future in it.
> I can well believe that 10 years from now there may be a rescan with higher quality. "Immutable" doesn't make sense in that context, does it?

I see your point, but for future research purposes, it may be highly relevant to know that what someone cited in an influential paper 20 years ago they got from a low-quality scan. At least in the humanities, that's actually the kind of thing that some researchers care about a lot.
[I read a LOT of resumes. Been programming professionally since the early 80s]

If I see someone who's done interesting things, then realize they don't have a degree, that is a plus, and I'm interested in them.

But generally, if they've got 10+ years experience, I never even look at the education history. It doesn't matter.
True, but those limitations made it so, you had to have a decent mixing engineer do the mixing job. Nowadays, many CDs (which are supposed to be non-compressed) are actually crap mixed.
Given Apple's almost unlimited cash they could always make companies like this an offer no intelligent person could turn down (especially if public) and have them explain what they do.
>Is it really that bad?

I was going to agree with you and admit I was being melodramatic...(well - I mean, saying that it makes me cry was certainly melodramatic - I don't really), but y'know what... it's definitely not ideal.

e.g. Scrolling in my ide.. sometimes lines of code don't refresh properly until I scroll back and forward a few times.

And with dev server, webpack watchers, test watchers open plus browser with a few tabs... yeah - it can get pretty sluggish. Maybe I'll try throwing a few more gig ram at the VM.
Explain to me how it could be a Trojan horse when it's their own OS that they are modifying? They aren't exactly going in and sabotaging the Linux kernel project here...

There's also a logical fallacy that because Nadella worked for MS for the past twenty five years, he's as power hungry as Gates. This reeks of the type of elitist nonsense the keeps people from wanting to adopt Linux.

You still can't call that a meaningful organism. The speed of light still means it can't have had more than a few dozen "clock cycles" since the galaxy stabilized enough to permit it, and it doesn't have all that many more "cycles" before the galaxy will be too dead to sustain it. There is no activity it could set itself out to do and then actually do it that would not be literally at least tens of thousands of years behind the stimulus that produced it, and that would be an incredibly quick reaction. There is no force of "evolution" or anything else that could drive this entity. It's just not useful to model it as an "organism".

Even human society can only be analogized to an organism. It isn't one either. It's not enough to point out there's vague similarities but ignore the multiple-orders-of-magnitude differences in the various scales.

And there's no need for "everything to be an organism". There's no physical reality to that idea. It's merely a reflection of our own predisposition towards weak analogical thinking when we should be dealing with things on their own terms. For human society, analogical thinking can easily lead us astray; for galactic scale society it's even harder to get away from analogical thinking because there isn't one (so far as we know) from which we can derive any observations at all, so there's no concrete facts in which we can ground our thinking.

As a stepping stone, "human society as an organism" may be the beginning of understanding. But when you start doing things like bemoaning its lack of self-preservation instinct, it's a sign you've gone too far with the analogy at the expense of dealing with what is really there.

Well if it's too local it kinda begs the question of whether it's one brain or multiple brains loosely linked together just as in your example it's not clear if the human society as a whole is a planet scale intelligence or a bunch of human scale intelligences bundled together.

a galaxy size brain would disagree with itself a lot.

My skull size brain is alreayd disagreeing with itself plenty.
That's because Turks are treated in Germany the same way Moroccans are in Netherlands.

But I fully agree with your observation. But I think there is hope. For instance, the mayor of the second-largest Dutch city (Rotterdam) is a Moroccan immigrant. Such people are role models for people with an immigrant background (you can make it in The Netherlands) and a Dutch background (in terms of acceptance).

If you pay DirtyPCBs some more money for decent shipping you can get your board in about two weeks. A week for fab, a few days for shipping. $14 for the boards, $14 for the shipping. It's still very cheap for very good boards, and even cheaper if you can batch up a few projects and combine shipping.

Phase I	<-- They are here

Phase II	18% proceed to phase III [1]

Phase III	50% succeed. 25% for first-in-class agents, which it sounds like this one is. [2]

So if this phage passes its current phase I trials, it would then have a 5% chance of eventually getting to market. The current probability of success would be even lower because it hasn't yet completed phase I.

I still don't get this. Underpowered compared to what? The lastest CPU model? Well, that's to be expected every 6 mounths or so. But from a user's point of view? No so much to be honest.

I can see how latest CPU might give some advantages to those who are dependent on computations, but other than this... no. RAM is the the only thing I've updated in the last 2 year (need all these VMs, IDEs, browser etc). Never saw CPU usage going >80%
I wonder, is Apple hiring such companies to poke holes at its OS before it gets out of beta, or even after it's launched? Because if not, maybe they should.

I would argue that part of the farmer's market is the experience of the setting and the fact that the food is (usually) fresh - much more than anywhere else.

Edit: My point is that I go to farmer's market for the experience, not to support the local farmers. It just so happens that the locals are the best are providing that experience. I do have to admit though that wanting to support the local farmers may have bootstrapped the farmer's market - or it may have survived through the rise of grocery stores.

And even with all that, going to farmer's market is splurging for me.
I'm guessing (say) Ivy dropouts have SAT scores in roughly the same range as Ivy graduates but are less employable because of the whole thing of a degree showing that you can stick with something and do what's asked of you for 3-4+ years. So it isn't solely a proxy for asking IQ/SAT scores.

(I'm a dropout, though not from an Ivy, and that's definitely something I've had to do a lot of explaining of in every interview I've had. Haven't been on the market for a few years; if there really is a magical age where people stop caring about degrees, I look forward to reaching it.)
