Thanks. For the supposed violations - aren't we still then only discussing the device working within known physics? There is no violation if the device were to slowly lose mass due to some unknown process (making it a form of Ion thruster), or if it accelerates some yet unknown weakly interacting massive particle in the opposite direction of the thrust, or if it somehow only conserves invariants for a "larger" system, potentially the entire universe?

Given an exotic enough explanation (negative energies/faster than light particles/spacetime warping/..) it feels like you can cheat your way around almost any invariant? Occam is left weeping in a corner of course.
This is a great point; implementations always compromise on speed, generality, domain decomposition, flexibility, ease of use/debugging, compile time, etc...

It's always a compromise subject to design goals of the project or just personal preferences. There are a lot of reads on the Internet about specific compromises chosen for a technology but contrasting choices between projects or versions of a project are difficult to find.

Also I think large systems are just as informative as smaller ones but require more investment.

If they'd just released the album, I don't think it would be on the front page of HN getting compared to Ai Weiwei, and covered in forbes, the guardian and the atlantic.

Perhaps they value the publicity (and resulting discussion of their work as "serious art") more than the extra money a regular release could have brought.
Types in C should not be complex. If you're hitting some kind of complexity, you're likely doing it the wrong way. C types are directly translated (one way, of course) into LLVM types.

Casts are evil: they break aliasing analysis, they screw up address spaces, they break more advanced forms of vectorisation (like polyhedral analysis), etc.

This a total tangent but I always thought it might be interesting if an IDE pulled data from source control (and presented it inline somehow).

How "hot" a function is - has it reiceved a lot of edits in the recent past? Or is cold and old (and therefore you'd imagine reasonably bug-free for most use cases).

I think the number of unqiue people editing a portion of code would also be interesting to know. As you might expect multiple authors to have different beliefs about the point of the code and therefore the code is probably going to be more muddy and less clear.
I could never stomach any podcasts (same thing with videos, of course). It is a slow and boring way of communication. You can read a text much faster, you can skim, you can easily go back to any point in this text.

This is an implementation detail, and abstractions shall never be conflated with their possible implementations

We're talking about performance here, right? So unfortunately this statement is totally untrue in that context.

Java world wants value types largely to avoid pointer chasing that hurts cpu cache effectiveness. Haskell suffers the same issue, then. You can make what are effectively value types in Java as long as you don't use == to compare but rather .equals, make all the fields final, override toString/equals/hashcode etc, and more sensible JVM targeting languages of course convert == into calls to .equals by default.

I'm solving this problem by having a `dev` container with make, gcc, g++, python, and nodemon included and which is then used to install node_modules with `ENV NODE_ENV dev` set. When I'm ready to deploy, the node_modules gets deleted, installed in production mode and a production container gets built. For dev container, node_modules is a volume, and it gets copied into production container so it's self-contained.

I wholeheartedly agree, WeChat OA / apps were borne out of a need for a simpler, faster and lighter mobile communication channel as opposed to bloated websites and apps. Message bots reduce the barriers for interaction and offer a more focused experience: they simplify payment, reduce data load, remove or simplify account setup, offer better discoverability, etc. They are also easier to add / remove and don't install anything on your OS.

Some of these issues can be solved by the OS: offering a unified notifications center with a better customizable UX, a per channel notification history, and more freedom to define follow-up actions. But unless the OS offers an alternative to apps, the barriers to install an app will remain bigger than installing a message bot, especially for one off communications.

I see an interesting future in a consolidated, block-chained B2C communications app, with a unified API for payments, notifications, and common UI elements. I can easily add contacts, and if I want marketing, I'll install the app or visit their website.

ps. I can recommend the recent discussion around bots on the a16z podcast.
I'm a bit shocked to read about the extent of Lovecraft's racism. I had noticed it in his writings, but I thought it was the voice of his characters.

I never think much about the creators of the stories or the music I enjoy, exactly because I'm worried I might find something unpleasant, like Lovecraft's racism. Frex, I'm happy I don't understand a word of what many of the bands I listen to sing, otherwise I'm pretty sure I'd never listen to them again. [1] I was lucky not to know all this about Lovecraft, as I didn't know stuff about other writers I enjoyed when I was younger, otherwise I don't think I'd have managed to enjoy them in the same way.

And I was really, really into Lovecraft's stuff as a teenager. I think I've read pretty much everything he's published, plus a whole lot of his disciples' stories. A couple of shorts have escaped me, by happy coincidence (The Colour out of Space and The Shadow out of Time) and I'm keeping them for a special moment.

The Romans conquered many peoples with different local myths, but they incorporated them into the empire by mapping the local deities to their Olympian canon, forming joint entities as targets of worship and devotion. This seems to be a tolerant and scalable approach, given a universe of various polytheisms based on nature, which helps ensure a viable mapping exists.

Monotheism has a lot to answer for. It began with Judaism, which has a certain exclusivity, but does not take the missionary position of universal adoption and conversion. It is surely the descendants, Christianity and Islam, where the polarizing missionary zeal of crusade and jihad has caused a lot of trouble. While many religions practice ostracism for the non-believer, only Islam insists on death to the apostate, who is seen as a traitor by definition, even without any further subversive or mutinous action.

Unfortunately, the doctrinaire and totalitarian proselytizing religions seem to have been quite scalable and successful. The Reformation and the Enlightenment have successfully turned back the tide of Catholicism in the West, but the challenge to Islam has yet to really get started.

Given the exploding demographics of the relevant parts of south Asia, Middle East and Africa, that future struggle gets harder by the hour. Indeed, it is the intensive demographic success of the subjugation of women and the rejection of contraception that has propelled these expansive conquering religions through history. It seems very likely that Japan and Russia will decline in population (no immigration), Europe will be Islamized and North America will be (re-)Hispanized with Catholicism.

The Reformed and Enlightened might have liberated themselves into an evolutionary dead-end of personal choice, free from enslavement by community propaganda and intimidation, but ultimately just a fleeting moment of liberty before the incoming tide of ruthless and fertile monotheists.
A lot of the commercial value of art comes from the social signalling that says "I can afford to own this unique and holy relic of personal productivity."

It's the individualised capitalist equivalent of medieval churches competing with each other to buy fragments of the true cross - or some lesser holy knuckle bone, if they weren't in that league.

The Wu Tang Clan album probably exists as a master tape/file somewhere, and possibly also as session backup files, unless they deliberately destroyed everything.

List comprehensions are incredible.
But they're just syntactic sugar for map() and filter() and lambdas.

Python's

prev = [1,2,3,4]
next = [x * 2 for x in old]

Is the same as javascript's

prev = [1,2,3,4];
next = prev.map(x => x * 2);

Python's

next = [x for x in prev if x % 2 == 0]

is the same as javascript's

next = prev.filter(x => x % 2 === 0);

And finally, python's

next = [x * 2 for x in prev if x % 2 == 0]

is the same as

next = prev.filter(x => x % 2 == 0).map(x => x * 2);

It could be nice to have a "mapIf" function that accepts a mapping and a predicate, but I think the extra verbosity makes the above code easier to understand.

next = prev.mapIf(x => x * 2, x => x % 2 == 0);
My system's language is not English, so I would have to either guess what “Dokumentbetrachter” is called in English or get only results in German, which are probably not that many.

With memorizing numbers as well, splitting them into chunks is also a good tactic, for example 392619582767 -> 392 619 582 767. It makes the whole thing a lot more tractable.
For benchmarking loopback connections, addressing really shouldn't be an issue, as you have an entire /8-subnet to split between your client(s) and server(s) (127.0.0.0/8). You would need some logic to set up eg 10.000 listening servers, and 1000.000 clients to get it working, and at some point you'd probably run into memory or other limits.

I'm a little surprised some simple googling didn't turn up any examples of this - I'm sure someone have tried it out in order to do some benchmarking of high-performance network servers/services?

Apparently ipv6 changes this to a single (loopback) address, but then again, with ipv6 you can use entire subnets per network card.
Aye, Kadath is a perfect example of what Houellebecq notes about Lovecraft's drawing inspiration from his dreams. The whole story basically reads like a stitching together of bits from a dream diary- or maybe even a single one of those long, winding dreams you manage to recall after a full night's sleep, the kind you only get in the holidays and so on.

I guess it's just grouped together with others of his early, non-Mythos stories, like The Cats of Ulthar and The Music of Erich Zann, that were alright but nothing special.

Anyway if you liked Kadath, you should check out Lord Dunsany (if you haven't).

How much exposure do they have to the financial sector ? As in 2008, we should be wary of cross-pollination.

The limits on the banks' exposures are dependent on counter party risk. GS's exposure is far more, but they insured most of it with other banks, and please allow me the simplifying assumption they insured all of it with BAC. Which means that (hypothetical scenario) if BAC goes bankrupt, suddenly GS exposure to oil goes up to, say $100BB. Suddenly the reserves are woefully insufficient. Then there's the sudden risk that GS goes belly-up, which would increase everyone else's exposure. One of them goes and ...

Additionally, oil fuels the economy. Oil is what builds the roads, what makes everything on the roads moving, what keeps planes in the air and boats going forward. Oil provides significant parts of our electricity supply, and so on and so forth. So you can look at the oil sector problem in 2 ways. Either you look at the supply side, which is producing somewhere around 2% more oil than the market is willing to buy (at any price). This is short-sighted. "If we'd all just put 2% more gas in our tanks, there wouldn't be a problem", which is not realistic.

The other oil to look at is demand-side oil. The market is simply not buying 2% of the oil, except to store it. Why not ? One explanation would be that there is a global recession and the oil price move is simply the result of that. The fact that the price crash happened with oil production/supply constant (even slightly declining) would seem to support this. For instance the baltic dry index plunged before oil started having problems, same with container shipping, and this explains quite a bit of the excess capacity in oil, and therefore, I say caused the price drop in oil. Oil crashed because manufacturing (the source of the demand for shipping) crashed a few months before the oil crash (and hasn't recovered).

In other words : you've identified the wrong problem. Oil is a symptom of the underlying situation, not a cause. You say banks are capable of withstanding one aspect of a greater problem ? Well, I'm not saying that's bad, but it's not reassuring at all (and may not be true due to financial engineering).
$250k seems normal for a senior dev, especially not remote, and in Silicon Valley, where your money has a lot less bang.
As per my comment further up, it might be interesting to spin up a handful of listening processes (eg: 127.0.0.1 through 127.0.0.10), and a handful of clients; and have the clients pick one at random, or something like that. Not so much for "real world testing", but just as an exercise to see if one can press the system to other limits than open connections/address pairs?
DMARC is a message to other entities about what you want them to do in case DKIM/SPF fails. In this case that wouldn't help as the problem is with your entity. So you would just have to reject things that fail your DKIM (or more practically, add a warning to the subject line).
You write your own backends. These can be trivial to very comolex. See zproto or zproject for examples.
It's battery powered, they have to make a compromise somewhere.
The Solar Impulse is really cool technology. It also shows why oil use has been so prolific. the energy-to-weight ratio of jet fuel is a marvel when you consider the size of today's jet aircraft and the distances they fly with hundreds of passengers.
They likely had a barometer. The very same method we use today to supplement the rather unsteady altitude reading from GPS.

If they did this, the next question would be how accurate their calibration was. Barometric altimetry was only about 20 to 50 years old at that time.
The Python foundation won't budge on the 2020 EOL date, for sure. RedHat will support it until RHEL 7 is EOL (~2027), but that's security/critical fixes only - while Python 3 gets all the new features and development efforts.

At some point, the opportunity cost of staying with Python 2.7 is higher than the one-time effort of porting everything to Python 3, so companies will move. Especially the likes of Google and Dropbox.

gevent vs. asyncio - sure, gevent is more mature. But asyncio is undoubtedly the better/nicer API. asyncio's explicit await syntax is much nicer than gevent's implicit monkey-patching, which makes it harder to reason about the code.

Tensorflow isn't really a new library, it was only recently open sourced.

As for Python 3-only libraries:

- https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&show=all&c=595

- https://github.com/aio-libs

Also note that Django will drop Python 2 support in time with the Python 2 EOL: https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jun/25/roadmap/

Also, many new Python-based open source projects are Python 3 only.

I can't comment on this specific school district, but in my own school district, there have been a fair number of instances where it was discovered, after an incident, that students had been planning a fight or physical confrontation for days in advance on social media. If the district had programs like this in place, it could have actually improved student safety. I know many here are claiming that this is just a pretense for monitoring students, but that's not what it looks like from my perspective.
One of the questions in the FAQ (and repeated in this thread) is why not just buy a RasPi - In the '80s and '90s I was working for companies that manufactured electronics and, unless you're producing very large numbers of units, the case and the power system were always our biggest cost.
