I'd make const the default, requiring a var keyword for variables. This makes it easier to get const correctness right because a missing var would break compilation while currently, a missing const doesn't. Next on my list would be := for assignment which is less easy to confuse with equality followed by variable declarations being name: type which is better once type names get long - admittedly they never are in plain C.

Right, sure, knowing when to shut the fuck up is very important. But learning to be good at communication, and learning social skills is brutally important in life. Learning when to speak and when not to speak and how to speak to other people is so important: how are people supposed to learn this if you teach them to just shut up and take orders? If you learn good social skills, you do better in life, and you don't learn social skills by not interacting socially. Also, school is a point in life where there is literally no downside to constantly asking questions, all the time. You even say, teachers are paid to put up with you: well, in that case, make them work!

"It's impossible so far to articulate consciousness in The law of thermodynamic, so hence the material hypothesis has never stood a chance." is a non sequitur as is "As per scientists consciousness behaves to be more than the sum total of neurons in the brain".

You cannot give an example of consciousness in the absence of matter. Perceptions are always demonstrably linked to material entities - ask a brain surgeon who can tweak your perceptions with an electrode. I think you make a categoric mistake in insisting on separating perception from the activities which are responsible for it. Might a software daemon one day in the far future report consciousness? I can see no reason why not; we have kinship with that hypothetical daemon! Searle's Chinese translation argument is related to your thoughts on this and has been (as far as I can see) comprehensively demolished though I guess there will always be a rear-guard protest.

I think the problem arises from the fuzzy definitions and assumptions used.

Removing curly braces? I have to paraphrase Torvalds on this:

Breaking the code into manageable chunks is a huge part in writing clear, maintainable software. A high amount of curly braces implies deep nested loops and/or branches, which also implies a high complexity (measured by cyclomatic complexity).

Also, IDEs can auto insert braces and indent the code. Unless you're using notepad, I don't see the problem.

C, to me, requires a lot of discipline about good coding style and conventions. I personally like that a lot, even though, of course, it sometimes causes one to shoot oneself in the foot. But, and I can't point to exactly why, I don't think I want to change anything.

Maybe Rust or something new will come along sometime soon to fix all the issues that exist with C.

The biggest problem with AR/VR/MR is the UX.

There are a lot of quite awful marker tracking apps (I am looking at you Blippar) which are useless. Yes you could see what a sofa _may_ look like... But the rendering of the Sofa is off, the lighting is weird and the scale most likely incorrect. Or yea... lets look at this advert for longer... like anyone wants to do that... All these apps do is devalue peoples perception of these mediums.

For this medium to succeed they need HQ apps which add to a users experience, not distract them and most importantly... have a fun factor. Another problem is how do you take these experiences from a mobile / glasses to a web browser (currently Javascript is a bit too slow to run custom tracking solutions)...

I'm an ex-Facebook user, so obviously I'm not unbiased in my feelings (general disdain) towards the product... but over and over again it seems there are distinct classes of users, those who view it as a useful utility for maintaining "low-intimacy" (casual) relationships, and those who view it as an intrusive/unwanted/psychologically harmful distraction.

I've certainly lost touch with many casual connections by de-Facebooking, but I feel like my overall mental state is better... the old "your everyday versus everyone else's highlight reel" is no longer thrust to the foreground of my consciousness multiple times a day. Worthy tradeoff to me, but is it for most other people? Maybe I'm just too sensitive or insecure to be a "good Facebooker".

It will be interesting to see if the "I get enough out of this to make up for the bad stuff" crowd grows or shrinks over time for FB.

What are you even talking about? Hardware reliability has gone through the roof in recent years. So has performance in some areas, such as SSDs, GPUs, displays. The ability to run a medium-sized startup or a complex scientific simulation on commodity hardware is a fantastic force of democratization access.

DBs are CPU-limited and, yes, single-core performance has been stagnating. But that's unlikely to be a vast conspiracy.

Reading about things like this, I wonder about the fertility between groups of modern humans that split the farthest back. Admittedly it isn't 600,000 years ago, but I suppose there would have to be some problems.
Oh god! This brings back memories of the nightmarish legacy code that I had to work on, a long time ago. The previous developer apparently liked Pascal and hated C. His principal header file had something like

#define begin {
#define end }

and many other Pascalisms. As a result, his code did not look like C at all. IIRC, the code had gone unmaintained since the late 80's, which is not surprising in embedded systems. The code I had to fix was truly cringe-worthy.

I vehemently disagree with Ganssle's article. Curly braces are the way to go. I am quite comfortable with pythonic indentation now, but remove one 'if' in complex code, and we have to change all the code below it manually. Cut-paste some code, and we have to manually take care of indentations. It's a pain.

Instead of his proposal, I'd want cleaner syntax for bit-wise addressing, which is currently handled via cumbersome unions or mask macros.

Oracle has been doing this for years. The only problem is the price.

>SQL in Silicon: Adds co-processors to all 32 cores of the SPARC M7 that offload and accelerate important data functions, dramatically improving efficiency and performance of database applications. Critical functions accelerated by these new co-processors include memory de-compression, memory scan, range scan, filtering, and join assist. Offloading these functions to co-processors greatly increases the efficiency of each CPU core, lowers memory utilization, and enables up to 10x better database query performance. Oracle Database 12c In-Memory option fully supports this new capability in the current release. In addition, this new functionality is slated to be available to advanced developers to build the next generation of big data analytics platforms.

> So, you can't express the programs that never terminate, but can you express all the programs that would terminate?

This gets philosophical - would the program "Y {f => x => if(x is a proof of the inconsistency of PA via the Goedel encoding) 0 else f(x+1) } 0" terminate? If you assume consistency of PA then no.

> Point in case, you probably shouldn't ever want to use a language for the specific feature that could express a non-deterministic program.

Well the mu operator or equivalent (informally, the inverse operator) is an extremely useful feature. Many useful programs can't be written strictly primitive recursively (as a trivial example, you can't compute the Ackermann function). I have hope that we can find more restricted versions of mu that let us express all the programs we want to, but that's a decidedly nontrivial problem.
From the article:

> These are not rock-solid results. I admit I’ve cut a lot of corners and left some room for doubt, but it looks like significant speedups are possible by using explicit thread-level programming. There are optimizations that can be done at this level which are simply not possible using a conventional SPMD model.

Yeah. This is the issue with abstracting using OpenCL, CUDA, etc.

If you need absolute performance, sometimes explicit control, even if it means using SIMD intrinsics, is better than a compiler that can't understand what you are really trying to do. Of course the other side of the coins is it's more work and less portable to use explicit width intrinsics.

For example, compilers don't understand memory access patterns and it's hard to share work between execution lanes (work units).

Think of an algorithm that processes images in rectangular blocks. Each block needs also rightmost column of pixels from the block on the left. I know swizzling performed by the cache/memory controller would make this example less worse, but humor me. I'm trying to make a generic point, not just about spatial image processing.

If the order of execution is suitable, the code that computes first block could set the registers ready to transfer rightmost column of pixels for the next block on right.

So you knowing and controlling the processing order could get this single column of pixels from left of block from registers (set by previous processing of left side block), otherwise just issue one memory read for current block.

Instead of just reading both blocks again, which is what a compiler would do. Sure, it would likely come from cache. But it means more cache pressure, 95% of those pixels might not be needed anymore -- just that right edge of the left side block. In other words, in the worst case you need almost twice as much data in cache than otherwise.

> My first test case is taking a scalar image and computing the min and max over 4×4 tiles. This is the first half of a BC4 compressor. ...

I'm surprised first example running time dropped just from 1.7M to 1.15M. Maybe the code is cache/memory access (or some other resource, not familiar with Intel's GPUs) limited.

This might be a good place to try random evolution (genetic algorithms, monte carlo, etc.) in instruction and memory access scheduling, variations, etc. I suspect hardware level details about Intel's GPUs are not public. Some instruction stream orderings might just perform faster.

How Internet of Things Impacts Data Science and Analytics?
Angular shopping cart example
one of my previous projects was an ecommerce play for kenya. that's where I studied the mpesa model quite a bit.

As for the south east asian region sans Singapore, there is quite a lot that can be done in this space. A significant chunk of the population is unbanked or it may not be immediately accessible to these people. Also the number of prepaid mobile lines could be 3-4 times more compared to the postpaid lines. Which is why it maybe useful to have a prepaid wallet top up where it would help users transition to the service. For foreign students/workers in Malaysia, they used to have to put down a RM1,000 deposit to get a postpaid mobile line in the past. I'm unsure if they still need to do it.

With this service, it would give the end user another means of convenience when it comes to bill payments, normal payments and maybe even online shopping. By being able to top up anywhere(at any shop, where all the registered merchant needs is to have a mobile, the app and an account), the user sees a much more convenient way to run their transactions, rather than going to the bank(branch, ATM or CDM).

This could also open the door for banks to try and sign up users to open bank accounts(if we can work out a way to make the sign up. There is a plethora of services that can be offered.
I can't think of good reason to use Paranoids anymore; digital works immensely better. There's as much translation between media with Polaroids as there is with digital, and you get both quicker turn-around and the ability to do a decent mimic curve with digital. Polaroids had a narrow latitude and poor contrast, so any density at all in the highlights meant you were well within bounds at the top, and anything that wasn't an absolutely solid block of black meant you had scads of shadow detail in your real image. Colour? Faggeddaboudit - if it wasn't clearly purple or something silly like that, the 'Roid wouldn't tell you anything useful, so you'd have to do some sort of weird interpretive dance across your set with a Minolta Color Meter III and a set of gels if you wanted to avoid surprises coming out of the soup.

Polaroids also tended to have high to extremely high ISO/ASA numbers (compared to the final film, which in my day tended to be 4x5 or 8x10 transparencies at ISO 50 to 100 that cost somewhere between 10 and 50 dollars an exposure when all was said and done). You could make that up (to a degree) with your shutter shooting under hot lights, but with flash, not so much. And studio flash in those days usually only had a two or three stop adjustment range, so ND gels it was, and hope that they were accurate. All in all, a real pain in the sitting-down bits, and if it weren't for the fact that getting it wrong on the transparency meant a hundred bucks or so (two frames minimum per shot, since dust bunnies can easily make their way into cleaned, de-staticked and practically hermetically sealed film holders no matter what the laws of physics have to say about it) and half a day shot to hell by the time you got it back and dried down it wouldn't have been worth it then either.
