I guess you can move an arbitrary amount of booleans (or enums) into the running state.

I suppose that the very idea of variables is just to separate the state from the code so that it's possible to handle complex states in generic code with a reasonable size...

On the other hand, a lot of bugs are related to that the resulting implicit state machine is not complete and/or correct...

The same question but including the program state is the interresting one. How much information/state is needed and needs to be shared, as it relates to how an algorithm scales.

This is crap. As someone who has suffered with schizophrenia and heard voices for over 7 months when I was symptomatic and after 1 month of meds became completely "normal" again. It's been over 7 years since then and I'm still just fine. I can tell you that if you hear voices you should go to the emergency room at your nearest hospital. They have mental health workers there that can evaluate you and get you treatment - most likely in the form of a 5150 hold. They will give you meds to stop the voices (if your lucky, some people don't respond to the meds).

The reason you should deal with it immediately is with every "episode" you have you get worse, eventually hitting a baseline where you don't get any worse but you don't get better either. My sister has the same thing and is permanently screwed with the meds barely doing anything for her. If she would have delt with the voices as soon as she heard them and started taking meds for it she may be just fine today - shes not and never will be because of trying to "Learn to live with voices" crap. Just a heads up... maybe this will help someone.
Hello. I created an account on this website specifically to reply to your comment despite the fact that I usually only lurk here.

I read your linked blog and honestly, if that's yours, I feel compelled to reach out to you.

The behavior you've documented (helpfully, for both yourself and others) is textbook schizophrenia.

The paranoia, the the voices, the "I could control what showed up on tv" all fits the bill for mental illness.

You have to learn to stop trusting your own head and document with outside sources. In the TV case, film yourself on your phone. Say what's going to show up, then wait for it. Watch it. See if you "remember" being able to control it. Then watch the video back later, then realize nothing you said actually was right.

You've got to use the wonderful technological tools available to you to fight this, and included a trusted healthcare professional.

I'm reaching out in hopes that this helps you, not trying to troll/insult at all. There's no shame in what's happening to you.

The only shame is that science doesn't understand the brain well enough yet to detect/heal these things before they impact our lives.

GraphQL defines the query language, but uses simple HTTP as the transport. It's not like like redis or mysql - those use custom protocols and so require special clients to use them. GraphQL backends are like Elasticsearch backends - you access them by hitting the exposed HTTP endpoint with your query in plain text. You could do this with any HTTP client library in any language, or even with curl.
Livecode. It's a high level scripting language that compiles into executables for every platform. They're almost done with the HTML5 version, which will compile into an executable for the browser.

It's friendly enough that I taught myself and got my prototype built for all the major desktops. I'm working on an associated website now and I don't even have to learn PHP because I can keep using Livecode for web scripting as long as Livecode Server is installed.

So, basically, learn Livecode and replace a half dozen other languages.

Removing the CC from the normal form of the Einstein Field Equations was what he considered his blunder.

It was there originally, but he realized that he could not have a static universe with a nonzero CC, so he removed it, as Hubble, Lemaitre and Friedmann had not yet demonstrated the universe is non-static. When there was overwhelming evidence of what we now call the Hubble flow, he realized that a small positive cosmological constant produces exactly that, and thus he put it back in.

What you don't usually learn in those articles about dark energy is that in the Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker model of the standard cosmology, you have an assortment of matter fields which are characterized by density and pressure.

Matter (in the most general sense of non-gravitational field content) has positive pressure, and some matter can clump (leading to non-uniform densities, and where density is higher, so is pressure; super-dense massive objects have enormous positive internal pressure).

Dark energy is in its simplest form a field with slightly negative pressure, and with constant density (i.e., it does not clump and it does not dilute away with the expansion like the matter fields do). This constant density is the "cosmological constant". Its absolute value is very small compared to the pressure even in slight overdensities of ordinary matter (like in sparse gas and dust clouds), so it's drowned out entirely by the positive pressures in structures like galaxies or stars.

Pressure and density are terms which are in the (Robertson-Walker) metric, and the metric describes the 4-lengths of spacetime intervals. Positive pressure contracts these lengths; negative pressure increases them.

So when fields with nonzero pressure are treated as the principal generators of the metric (i.e., matter and dark energy tell spacetime how to curve), you can call the result the metric expansion (or contraction) of space.

Python 2 will not be EOL in 4 years. Not with the billions of lines of code out there. If the Python foundation dares to do this, it will create a fork. Probably even funded by Dropbox, Google and the like.

I wont dispute you on any other aspects - except two. have you tried using gevent versus asyncio ? gevent is running in production at several of the largest API services in the world. Asyncio is not yet deployed at this scale.

Second about new libraries being python 3 only - really dispute that. In fact its the other way around. For example, the brand new Tensorflow library (which google uses in production for its own AI) was released on Python 2 only .. and Python 3 support was later patched in. This is the case with every new library of consequence that I'm seeing.

A good lead developer should help you grow, partially by selecting problems and partly by providing more/less structure. E.g. I might tell a junior developer to implement the design on the whiteboard and provide multiple rounds of code review, because just getting a complex implementation right is plenty challenging; for a more-senior colleague, I'm much more likely to throw him/her at a complex problem and I'll provide a few "you could have improved <X> by <Y>", possibly afterwards.

A learning phenoma that I find fascinating is learning things that seem impossible. I experienced most in music, learning rhythmic independence. Most instruments require this skill, but where I really noticed it is trying to play and sing songs where the rhythms are disimilar.

Upon first attempts, there is simply no ability to perform the task at all. No purchase on which to begin efforts. But somehow the trying to do it eventually does work, and will manifest as a breakthrough.

This is in contrast to practice if of skills where a path of incremental improvements is followed. (As described in the article when learning to memorize strings of numbers).

What's strange is that the beginning attempts feel like you're not learning anything, because you actually aren't doing anything that seems similar to the action you are trying to learn.

The difference is, that reviewing your memory allocation is a matter of program performance, not of program correctness. And you don't have to do it everywhere. Just make sure that in the hot spots of your program there is not excessive heap allocation.
The benefit of GC is the correctness you get by never having to call free() and the drastic simplification of all program parts which do have to alloc memory. In C, for anything that does get allocated on the heap, you have to carefully observe who is in charge of deallocating it later in the programs lifetime and to make sure that there are no pointers to it left. GC will take this complexity out of your program, which can make a lot of code much simpler.

What amazes me is the number of people who dislike Martin Shkreli...most of who can't even tell me why.
> Well, when you use a GC, you don't have to figure out where to put the "free" calls.

That is precisely why I mentioned alloca(3C): it automatically frees the memory for you, if you do not want to do it yourself. From the Solaris / illumos alloca(3C) manual page:

void *alloca(size_t size);

The alloca() function allocates size bytes of space in the
stack frame of the caller, and returns a pointer to the
allocated block. This temporary space is automatically freed
when the caller returns. If the allocated block is beyond
the current stack limit, the resulting behavior is unde-
fined.

> (have you ever tried writing a functional program with explicit malloc and free?)

I got my start on MOS 6502 / MOS 6510 / MC68000 assembler, so for me making malloc(3C) and free(3C) calls when programming in a functional style is completely normal. I have no problem with that whatsoever.
I believe that Ubers ultimate goal is to become a logistics company. They want to move people around. They also want to be the last mile on delivering that express Amazon package to your door, or getting your food order to your house (they're already experimenting with that), and just generally being the company responsible for transporting everything around a city.

From the perspective of managing their drivers, they're not to worried about other folks taking "their" drivers as ultimately they're going to have FAR more work for drivers to do than companies merely in the cab business. As a driver you're going to rely on Uber because the quantity of the work will be so much higher on their network.

That's the long game for them and I suspect that's how they see things right now.

* note: I'm 100% speculating here, I have no real special insight into what they're up to.
In his pre-trial, Ross denied ownership[1] of the server that the coins were found on (for obvious reasons - the server also ran the Silk Road). Since no one claimed ownership, the FBI was free to auction them.

That doesn't seem to me to be a directed, deliberate approach as the article implies is necessary. There's no way to know what patterns would be on the boundary of my skillset, so I might spend time using something that's unfamiliar but actually very basic which wouldn't challenge me, or something that's unfamiliar and incredibly difficult which would frustrate me because I couldn't make any progress. Isn't the reason that the system outlined in the article worked because the next level was always within reach but also something that provided a challenge? How do we get that in an arbitrary subject?

Essentially I wonder if the problem is that in some things we learn (eg coding) there isn't really a defined "ladder" that allows someone to practise harder and harder things in a deliberate way.

Why not just "AI bot, give me the best life possible"?

To be less flippant, declarative AI already exists where it is easy. An airline booking website already gives you the ways to getting to location x ASAP. But looking at the performance of current recommendation systems, and natural language processing systems, I doubt if in the near future we would have a bot that would be better than me in guessing whether my wife would prefer flowers or a dinner on a particular anniversary, unless it cheats by using my wife's private information, in which case she's going to hate me either way.

A very good post, but like much discussion here it turns into a comparison of Java vs. C++. It would be good to also compare to Go, which is GCed, but gives you all the value types of C++.

If you're trying to troll on the sly you'll need to be a bit more subtle than that. I'd suggest most people who dislike Shkreli know that he massively jacked up the price of a drug that there were no legal alternatives to, even if they don't know or can't remember the exact details. For those that want to learn more, search online for daraprim.

EDIT: alex95, your comment is flagged as dead, many people reading this won't see it. I know the excuses Skreli gave, about using the revenue to fund new drugs, but I don't buy it, and the reason I don't buy it is because he jacked up the price so much he was putting the life of some people in danger. That doesn't strike me as a move someone who cared about improving healthcare would make.
This looks like the sort of cherry-picking designed to give a false impression of the general views by picking extreme positions or attributing vague statements as prophecies.

For example, 6 of the 18 quotes are from Paul Ehrlich, 3 from Kenneth Watt, and 2 from Barry Commoner. I can interpret that to mean that so few people made "spectacularly wrong prophecies" that the author of the list had to hit the same sources multiple times. (I use the generic "author of the list" because many sites, mostly anti-environmental movement, seem to repeat this same set of failed predictions, and I didn't track down the original source.)

I picked #9 arbitrarily. It starts "In January 1970, Life reported". That quote is from https://books.google.com/books?id=bFAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA3&dq=In+... . It's in an editor's note, concerning the views of one of Life's reporters, Pekkanan, who said he was told that at a scientific meeting. This is hardly a "report" any any meaningful sense.

In context, Pekkanan describes obviously worsening pollution in his lifetime. 1970 was only 4 years after smog in New York City killed at least 169 people. As a result of the environment movement of the time, the US passed environmental protection laws, including mandatory catalytic converters. Had we not done so, well, look to Beijing for a modern example of a city where people do sometimes walk around with face masks because of pollution.

I think it's unfair to say it was a "wrong prophecy" when things could and did change to avoid that from happening.

Quote #3 isn't a failed prophesy:

> The day after the first Earth Day, the New York Times editorial page warned, “Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.”

There's no timeline there. I also think it's true. As a trivial example, we greatly reduced CFC emissions because the loss of the ozone layer would lead to "intolerable deterioration."

Did you notice that #14 has two failed predictions? Outside perhaps of a couple of US states, who uses full service gas and says 'Fill ‘er up, buddy'?

I also observe that the title is "from the first Earth Day", but the quotes are pulled from around the time of the first Earth day. This gives many more opportunities to cherry pick.

> So, zones provide better platform because people can go back and learn Solaris? Or what?

No, Solaris (well, illumos, since nobody cares about Solaris any more) provides a better platform for learning and understanding UNIX. And with that comes the insight of writing better code in general, especially on Linux. For example, one is able to write completely portable shell code and deliver cleanly packaged software on Linux if one understands UNIX (in /opt, /etc/opt/, and /var/opt instead of /usr[/local] -- and that is just one trivial example).

zones are a fully working solution because they provide full security isolation, while running as regular processes with their own init(1M), instead of being forced to run Docker inside of KVM or XEN virtual machines to achieve that. And because processes inside of zones are just regular processes in the global zone, they only use as much resources as they need, and no more. With zones, one does not have to hard partition and preallocate memory and CPU to achieve full isolation, as is very often the case with running Docker inside of a virtual machine.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T2XFSALOaU

And because zones' storage is backed by ZFS, the data is guaranteed end-to-end integrity, and self-healing if the zpool is redundant (RAID1+0, RAIDZ, RAIDZ2).

Writing filesystems is hard: https://danluu.com/file-consistency/

For its part, illumos is the reference system as it is fully POSIX, XPG4, and SUS / UNIX03 compliant, so learning it means learning and mastering the standards.

And, once spoiled by all the nice features in illumos / SmartOS, going back to Linux feels like going back to skins and stone knives.
It's been a long time since I was in that position; almost none of the plays are new to me at this stage. (I'll confess, though, that I've neither seen nor read Coriolanus, Cymbaline, or Timon of Athens. Or, for that matter, any of the Apocrypha) For me personally, I would absolutely do exactly the same as you; if I was going to attend a production of any of those plays which I've not yet experienced, I would read the script, first.

But for someone who isn't yet accustomed to the language, I expect that it would be a hard slog, getting through the texts without an actor's interpretation to help you along.
