> Humans, for some reason prefer and know Windows better

Probably because they've been exposed to it in a many settings, for better or for worse. Windows being popular does not imply that Windows is appropriate for any given task.

> Why shouldn't the devices use Windows?

Is this a serious question?

Windows is probably the least stable production OS in the world today.

Windows is extremely bloated compared to an appropriate embedded OS.

Windows is (practically speaking) the only OS where antivirus software is a fact of life. Viruses should not be a concern for medical equipment.

Windows is not even close to real-time.

I don't want to see "Your heart monitor is restarting for updates in 3... 2... 1..."

> and they do it with Windows

This may be technically true, but this in no way implies that Windows is uniquely suited for or appropriate for the task. They could also do it using a PlayStation, but this is probably not an appropriate platform.
It seems unlikely-- in order to be true, computer science majors would need to actually have higher income with degrees from less competitive schools.

> The only valid value, to this day, is "text/javascript".

Other script types have been supported for a while. Some compile-to-javascript languages can be setup to use script tags in their language. For example, CoffeeScript can be setup[1] to compile <script type="text/coffeescript"> tags at runtime.

Also, WebGL can load shaders[2] from script tags of type "x-shader/x-vertex" and "x-shader/x-fragment".

[2] see the source of http://mdn.github.io/webgl-examples/tutorial/sample3/ for a basic example.
Yup, there's nothing keeping you from having a few RCs around that create a cycle.

That said the language does guide you away from things like that much more than C/C++.
This last bit is very true. Same thing in canada. Doctor shopping is very hard because there is no benefit to the Doctor, only risk.
> Even if one did, you're either relying on browser creators to include a runtime, or you have to patch one in, Flash-style.

This would actually be the perfect use-case for Google's Native Client, if other browsers would bother to support it.

The arguments against webapp authors writing their app in NaCl are probably valid. But those arguments don't apply to the case where the "apps" are run times, there are only a common ones floating around, and people pull them in by URL in order to script against them.

Interestingly, this would solve one additional pain-point: every script would have the particular ABI version of the runtime it was coded against "locked" into it, in the same sense as a Ruby/Node dependency-lock file. So the runtimes themselves could be in very heavy flux version-to-version, as long as they kept old ABI-lines around and patched with security-updates.
In the case of the US, stopping the sugar subsidies and perhaps even taxing it more might be a good start.

It seems like overall a reduction in sugar consumption will be a net benefit when you take into account reduced health expenditures, considering the obesity epidemic.

De Beers Diamond Report: "fact that they are seen as a lasting source of value"
> With proper availability, opiates are very well tolerated.

This just is not true. With proper availability people develop tolerance, and require higher doses. That does becomes high enough to become dangerous, and so they need to change to a different, stronger opiate. They develop a tolerance to that too.

Eventually they're cycling through 2 or three different opiates (sometimes at the same time) at very high dose. And their pain is not being managed.

> addicted to antipsychotics or insulin or antidepressants

No tolerance, no seeking, no preoccupation, no continuing to take them when you know they're doing you harm -- those things are not addictive.
A few points:

1. There is no such thing as a universal runtime. All runtimes are coupled to some language's semantics. The idea of a universal runtime has been tried several times and has always failed, or in the best case been limited to languages that are basically skins on top of the same underlying semantics (e.g. C# and VB.NET).

2. The IRs in the Go compiler are especially strongly coupled to Go semantics. Your language would have to replicate many idiosyncrasies of Go to run on its runtime. For example, you would be unable to benefit from performant lexically scoped cleanup the way e.g. Java (or basically any other language) can, because the Go language "defer" construct has extremely dynamic semantics and there is no support in the compiler for C++-style unwind tables (at least, I don't see why there would be, given that nothing in Go needs them).

3. Go is not a good candidate for this universal runtime in 2016 due its lack of a mature optimization pipeline. Maybe in a few years, but in the meantime you'd be better off using HotSpot or .NET for this purpose.
Nor would I call it a "trolling based marketing scheme."

It could, but I guarantee you it's not. In case you haven't heard, there is a very real heroin epidemic in a large part of the country. (largely caused by the over prescription, and then cutting off, via a change in regulations and practices of prescribed painkillers).

But I wasn't being (intentionally) being an asshole when I say "In case you haven't heard." It's being reported in the news, but it is largely a local story, and even in a lot of cases, its kind of like "There's a Heroin Epidemic, it's now affecting white rich kids, nobody knows what to do." I don't know if it is a function people being tired of the drug war or what, but it just seems like there's a quiet epidemic that's tragically killing (and/or negatively affecting) millions of Americans out there.

We do not have a good model for the structure of water.
Two questions only: Who pays? That is, whose money funds these programs?
I agree that that is the right solution, but it would effectively be an expropriation of a huge portion of most of the middle class's wealth -- their home value that derives from being in a desirable school district -- and hence explains the difficulty of switching to a Nordic style voucher system where families get a block of government money to use at a school of their choice and the schools have to compete for it.

Writing web crawlers and astroturfing to get all that data is hard. Facebook would more likely just buy that data straight from the source, since most other tech companies are similarly unscrupulous and happy to sell.
Still too chickenshit to delete it, I suppose. Fuck you.
I use awk and sed (with tr/sort/uniq doing some heavy lifting) for most of my data analysis work. It's a really great way to play around with data to get a feel for it before formalizing it in a different language.

What does it do when Algolia doesn't find the post?

An "advanced" feature request: Some sites are rewritten, for example https://example.blogspot.com.ar is transformed to by HN to https://example.blogspot.com and BlogSpot will transform it to whatever country you are, so it would be nice to add in version 2 some canonizations to make it more compatible with HN. Also, medium is a nightmare, because it adds a random mark to the url and the HN post may have a different random mark. And the nytimes adds something like &r_1=0 or something. (Probably medium is the more important use case.)

Another idea: Can you transform this into a bookmarklet?

Life is all around us. There's hardly a crevice too small, too hot, too cold, too dark, or too bright where we don't find it.

But we have absolutely no idea how life got here. Pick any starting point in the earth's history and try to spin a hypothesis for how cells came to be from organic molecules and other stuff lying around.

You can't do it at a high enough level of detail to even attempt the most rudimentary experiment.
This article made me feel uneasy since knowing the names of several particles doesn't mean we understand them.

Pardon my ignorance but I don't exactly get how dinosaurs were wiped out of the earth by one asteroid.

Were all the dinosaurs located in the same small area? Or did the remaining dinos die from the subsequent winter?

If there's one good argument for this reality being simulated, it's the existence of something as simple yet so darn universally useful as good ol' H2O.
They do have a range problem, but not in the way that you probably think.

If you take a look at the affordable EV segment, in the 2011 to 2016 era, it has been represented only by Nissan Leaf.

People are reporting anywhere between 15-30% of capacity loss within the first 45,000 miles.
The problem with battery powered vehicles is that there's a guaranteed loss of capacity after N charge cycles, which currently seems to be ~600-800 charges (77 miles of range x 600 charges = 46,200 miles)

Teslas have obviously not run into this problem yet, because their range is 200+, so you'd only start seeing significant capacity losses at 120,000 miles driven, which I'm guessing not many people have done since 2012.

But for smaller range vehicles this presents a significant problem: the commute you are able to make in the beginning of ownership may suddenly become impossible in just 3-4 years of driving.
And how do you get more range? You need more batteries.

In fact the first vehicle to solve this and have a decent enough capacity buffer at an affordable price will be Tesla 3.

On the other hand, this will put the nail in the coffin of the "not being able to scale" argument. In fact, Tesla 3 will be successful ONLY if they're able to scale.
Very simple and quick explanation as far as I remember it - the large dinosaurs that survived the initial impact were wiped out by the ensuing 'winter' and lack of food (they needed a lot to sustain themselves). Plenty of smaller creatures survived including types of dinosaurs that evolved into birds.

Happy to be corrected :)
If Algolia doesn't find it, DoHN reports it and suggests to submit it to HN.

Right now there is one canonization -- it strips utm tags, I'll think about more canonizations, thanks!

I thought about bookmarklet, but decided to postpone -- due to CSP bookmarklets don't work in quite few places (like Github).
I can't understand the argument of social media making the world a worse place. Television is made by publishers who get to decide what to deliver to their audience which is in stark contrast to facebook, twitter, etc... where you are in control of who you follow or friend. Additionally we don't care where you share our media, you can feel free to use it in a blog post.

The only thing we're trying to fuel is the ability of the common person to express themselves through short video. If you think that is a bad then we'll have to agree to disagree.
In another comment you mentioned that you've already used your post completion opt.

Can you apply for a STEM extension now? That will keep you in the country and let you work for another 24 months. Try to get the highest paying job you can and then Aggressively save to pay off your student loan?

After that to continue staying in the country you'll have to get an H1-B. Having graduated from a US masters program you have slightly better chance in the MS cap but the odds may not be in your favour.

The safest option would be to plow through your PhD program. But you probably already knew that.

Quitting the program and getting a job might be a gamble, but weighing the risks is something you'll obviously have to figure out.
Having been in a couple of rough accidents in my life, I thought it was pretty stunning that the frame of the passenger compartment was durable enough that the occupants were simply able to open the doors to get out.
From what I've been witness to, often the frame and doors bend enough in a big wreck to make it difficult to exit the vehicle.
The photos showing the front two doors open with all of the glass intact are quite impressive.
One of the most interesting and infuriating aspects of physics is that there are soooo many orders of magnitude between all the phenomena of interest, between the Plank scale and the smallest subatomic interactions, and between atoms and the size of things that we care about, even such things as "viruses" and "proteins", to say nothing of getting up to the macroscopic scale. And beyond that, even taking macroscopic phenomena and trying to understand things at a planetary scale or beyond can be difficult. There's about 60 orders of magnitude between the smallest things we're interested in (Plank distance) and the largest (observable universe). Holy cow. The mind boggles.

It isn't a contradiction to point out that we seem to have a very, very good model of the universe's most fundamental particle processes, but still can not simply derive from that model to even very simple things of interest. In principle, we could "just" simulate the standard model and "just" simulate a lot of water molecules under the conditions of interest and "just" watch what happens. In reality, that turns out to be many, many orders of magnitude more computation than we can do.

See also protein folding, where even without trying to run things all the way down to the standard model, things that we in principle fully understand require gobs of computation to approximate for what are in the real world simple things happening gazzilions of times per second in every living organism.

In the other direction, witness the difficulty we have trying to improve our understanding of how the universe works at the Plank scale. One imagines that if the smallest things we had were not multiple orders of magnitude larger than the scale we are trying to study that perhaps we'd have made more progress by now, but it's like trying to determine the rules of biology when the only capability you have is the ability to sling planets at each other really hard and see what happens. The miracle is that we've learned anything at all.

On that note, I've often wondered if the standard model really "works". Suppose someone with a lot more simulating power than us actually programmed it in directly and set it running, with a reasonable initial state that resembles our world. (My understanding is that inflation doesn't necessarily come out of it so we can guess that you can't just start from the big bang.) Does it really work? Is the result indistinguishable from the real world without a particle accelerator? Or is there some flaw that only comes out at scale, or does the universe crash if you create a black hole? How close are we, really? If someone waved a magic wand and said "Shazam, the standard model is now what the universe really and truly runs on!", would we notice anything different? Or would we be instantly dead because it turns out chemistry doesn't quite work right? Or perhaps at all?
Sensible doctors do not believe drug company marketing.

I get large amounts of ad-junk from drug companies that ends up unread in the bin. I refuse to meet with drug company representatives. I smile politely at them if I bump into them in the corridor and suggest that they leave their ad-junk with my secretary. My staff then file their ad-junk in the trash bin.

On Friday, I had a drug company representative attempt to tell me ( he was hanging around my coffee area ) about the joys of Targin, a fixed-dose combination of oxycodone and naloxone. I gently shook him off, and directed him to my secretary.

Drug company representatives are usually decent human beings with lives and families. However they are poorly educated, poorly informed salesmen and women with sales targets to meet and product managers to keep happy. Even worse, they and the drug company have no accountability if a patient dies because of their recommendations. If avoidable death supervenes or if there are non-lethal complications or even just therapeutic failure, I am accountable.

Instead of relying on marketing, I rely on information from good, well performed randomised controlled studies published in reputable peer reviewed journals ( I like the NEJM ) and on meta-analyses of these. I view the results of these through a filter of scepticism, cynicism, pragmatism and a modicum of hope.

Many of my colleagues do likewise. I trust that you do the same in your respective vocations. Regrettably, there is a bell curve. I am sure that the drug companies find enough gullible prescribers out in the wild for their purposes.

There's a lot of 'everyday life' we don't understand. In fact most of our scholarship is in the domain of 'everyday life'. From biology and chemistry to computer science and economics and sociology.

What the author meant was that nothing that will be discovered in this domain will shake fundamental physics. Things that will shake fundamental physics won't come from 'everyday life', but rather from extreme environments like those found in particle accelerators, and through study of gravitational waves, CMB etc.

Saying that the term was never used isn't really refuting the point. It doesn't matter whether you coded back in those days. Anyone who looks at (or used) the software being produced back then can see that continuous software delivery wasn't really the norm, probably due at least in part to technical limitations. I'm thinking about your average Microsoft product, but there are plenty of examples even today of poorly-designed waterfall projects (e.g., healthcare.gov for Obamacare).

At a high-level, we have a very good idea how life developed and we have reasonably good ideas how life got started.

I think the near future in compilers is going to be dominated by accelerator capable LLVM variants (such as NVVM). Ideally, all Nvidia, AMD and Intel would and should need to do is to provide LLLVM based backends. Frontends just need a sane way of specifying SIMT. And no, loop + directive based stuff like OpenMP and OpenACC is IMO just a stopgap measure in order to serve higher ups the lie that portation is going to be swift and easy. There's basically one sane way to deal with data parallel problems, and that's to treat what's going on in one core as a scalar program with precomputed indices (i.e. the CUDA / OpenCL way).

Python has some good support for this already. I haven't done a project like this yet, but if setting up something fresh I'd immediately jump on NumPy interacting with my own kernels and some Python glue for the node level parallelism.
