Have you explained to her that NoScript intentionally breaks websites, making them not operate as the designer intended, so that the website (and by extension the underlying computer) only does what you want it to do, and not the (potentially nefarious) activities planned by the designer?

When I try explaining this to other people, even other engineers, they usually tangent into a discussion about how paranoia and an inability to trust are unhealthy. And they stand their ground in the face of mounting evidence, insisting the designer is a humble, well-meaning person like themselves, and would have no reason for doing such evil things.

I guess my overall point here was that you can build a sufficiently interactive webapp without a bloated, client-side, MVC, virtualDOM, JS monstrosity.

Given the fact that most of the bloated JS monstrosities you're talking about are also the most popular websites around (Facebook, Google, Pinterest), I think this assumption might be wrong.

Do you have any examples of popular, complex web apps that work the way you suggest is better? Why is it that Facebook etc don't make things that work the way you're talking about?

I think you nailed it but I also think that people who don't want to learn how to code, or learn a software suite, or create something important or beautiful and simply prefer to look at a computer as a source of entertainment and communication (read as 70% of the population) are summarily doomed.

Personally, I have a great number of everyday interactions that I need to have, but do not have any semblance of humanity connected with them. I also highly doubt that people in days of yore actually received a benefit from connecting over the voiceline with their pizza delivery guy.

I'm not worried that my intimate conversations will be replaced by bots. I am interested in automating my "yep" and "haha" responses to things I couldn't care two shakes about.

Well, I'm intrigued. Thanks for the information.
Indeed. I think the point about allowing people to understand the subject at various stages in their lives very apt. We apply pedagogical simplification to almost everything we teach children anyways, but it's quite possible that we could be much more far reaching in our attempts. It would be interesting to see a world where children are taught basic abstractions of group theory.

Mathematics is one of those fields where it is difficult to simplify. Period. But in addition, the practitioners often actively resist this simplification. Mathematics is firmly rooted in proof, but not all mathematics education needs to be firmly rooted in proofs, and for that matter, not all mathematics education must be rooted in mechanistic repetition of solution techniques. There is perhaps a way to endow people with these concepts when they couldn't otherwise arrive at them through rigorous proving.

Mr. Cray was admirable for his tenacity and single-mindedness. I especially liked his disdain for committees and corporate governance. He knew what he wanted to do, and it didn't involve sitting in silly meetings about nonessential stuff. We owe a lot to his designs. And they were his designs, not some committee's.

I lived in Colorado Springs when Mr. Cray died so tragically. Every time I go past exit 150 (Academy Blvd.) on I-25, I think to myself, this is the Seymour Cray Memorial Interchange. It has been redesigned from the old-fashioned cloverleaf into a newer design where off- and on-ramp traffic don't have to merge in an eighth of a mile.

As someone who started using computers in 1982, I would have to disagree.

Computers today are incredibly powerful, and because of that, operating systems and applications have become complex beasts themselves.

My first computer only had 4K and a text based interface. As an end user, I only needed to know a handful of commands. Most navigation was done through multiple choice text menus.

Even moving into the early 90s, when using System 6 and System 7 on Macs, the very notion of needing a second mouse button was considered a bad thing. If you needed that right button, your application design was too complex.

Fast forward a quarter of a century, and I can't live without a context menu, but I have 35 years of accumulated knowledge that lets me take this stuff for granted..

IMO, the amount of stuff I need to know today to get around a computer is an order of magnitude more than "back when".

Back in the old days, all you had to do was load and run stuff off discretely labeled physical media like a cassette or floppy. You only ran one program at a time. You didn't need to worry about network security, because the only network you could afford consisted of you putting your sneakers on and bringing a disk to another machine. Your computer was turned off with a switch. There was no need for a "shut down" command to fire. If you had a virus, it meant you caught a cold. Things were really simple back then.

Thank you for taking a look. We also believe in a "batteries-included" approach and are, in order of priority, writing interfaces from Stanza to:

1) The QT gui library.

2) The GLFW OpenGL and input events library.

3) Some networking library.

4) Some regex library.

The current compiler generates x86-64 assembly code, but we're working on refactoring that and abstracting it to make it easier to write more backends. We are aiming particularly for a Javascript backend for webapps and an ARM backend for mobile apps.

A human being is not a machine just as "a brain" is not a computer. To say that the sum is greater than the individual parts is truly an understatement. I find it sad that scientists are so naive. The brain exists to tell the body what not to do. No machine will ever be able to replace it no matter how much you think you know about it.

Why doesn't the US treat it's companies like it's citizens?
US companies are hoarding cash. It is sitting in offshore accounts drawing a small amount of interest and doing nothing. It's a significant reason the US economy is stagnated, wages are low, governments are broke, and infrastructure is crumbling. Why? To minimize tax. They pay very little tax on it internationally compared to the the US. If they bring this money back to the US to use it for development, it will be heavily taxed.

Did you know if you are a US citizen but live and work abroad you are still required to pay US tax on your world wide income? It's true, I've been a US expat for years. Sure there are tax treaties and foreign tax credits and foreign income exclusion. But if you live and work in a foreign country with lower taxes than the US, the US basically says thats great you get credit for the tax you paid in the foreign country, but now pay me the difference in tax you would have paid had you lived and worked in the US.

So why doesn't the US treat US companies like they treat their citizens?

Because the companies would deregister as US entities you say? Oh, well did you know if a US citizen wants to denounce their citizenship they have to pay a fee, go through the a tax audit back 7 years, and they are deemed to have disposed of all their assets and they have to pay tax on them?

So let me ask again, why does the US not treat their companies like their citizens?

Well it's because companies pay lobbyists who pay politicians to make laws and ordinary citizens do not.

Being a father is not easy as well, and it is unpaid work.
I'm thinking about "ctrl-d" to boot, and the likelihood that my kid's going to eventually play with daddy's laptop and pound on the spacebar during reboot.

What I'd like: A Linux distro of my choice that boots as cleanly and directly as the original ChromeOS. A dual-boot to Windows would be nice too, although maybe at this point I could get by with a VM.

What I think a Chromebook would provide: The option for a Crouton install within ChromeOS or a dual-boot. I think that both options require developer mode. During boot, you get a fun little screen telling you to push the spacebar to "re-enable OS verification", which takes you into a system recovery process...or you press ctrl-d to boot the system as-is.

That all sounds like something that I can do, but it sounds like a step back in usability for me. And besides:

> Caution: Modifications you make to the system are not supported by Google, may cause hardware, software or security issues and may void warranty.

(http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-fo...)

That's a terrible way to prefix a guide for activating a "supported developer mode" :-)

A Chromebook may be wonderful for someone else with different desires. I don't think that it's a good fit for what I want to do.

We're still working on a paper on comprehensive performance measurements, but we don't expect to see the same slowdown.

Very intentionally, we called Stanza an "optionally-typed" language instead of a "gradually-typed" language. The moniker "gradual typing" was coined by Jeremy Siek and implies a very specific semantics and implementation style. One of the drawbacks of gradual typing is that obtaining good performance can be tricky.

Stanza does not use the same system, and we are not seeing the same problems. But the experiments and paper are still in progress.

The trouble with CS courses is that you will never use half of what were taught. But you will only find out which half was useful ten or so years down the track. University courses should expand your mind, teach you critical thinking and foundations. It's an investment for the long term.

The way I see it:

If they are teaching you Java - then it's a waste of time.

If you are learning C, Lisp/Scheme, compilers, algorithms, databases, logic, math, etc - then some of it will be very useful in the years to come.

It's about where "e", the identity element, is placed - in the "identity" rule it is one of the terms of the operation (e * a, a * e) while in the "invertibility" rule it's the result of the operation.

If you want an example, think Z (integers) and "+": there is an element of Z, namely zero (0), where the identity rule tells us that x + 0 = 0 + x = x and the invertibility rule says that for any x in Z, there is an y in z such that x + y = 0

I was there in January and you're absolutely right - they are far, far larger than I ever imagined! Standing beside one, you basically disappear compared to the tree.
That's interesting, and seems like a direct opposite for the experience I have with my Asus 13 inches chromebook. It is now my main laptop, I use it for days and it never freezes.

I have crouton on it and this comment was typed in firefox on crouton. Whenever I need to, I switch to Chrome OS to use Chrome. I had problem with getting audio to work in the beginning but to be fair that was around the same time I really didn't know how to switch between Crouton and Chrome OS.

It would do with more storage but I have a 32gig sd card in it which gives me a little more mileage than depending only on the internal storage.

Honestly the only REAL work I do on it is learning Javascript even though I got it specifically to learn PHP but things seem to require a lot of tweaking when installing PHP and even setting up ur webserver that I gave up and decided to learn Javascript, which only requires a browser. But I'm sure that's my problem with Linux and not Chromebook.

I have never had an "Ultrabook" before so I really enjoy the sleek nature of this and I don't think I'm going to ever buy any laptop bigger than this ever and the all day battery life makes it awesome.

Apart from the usage above, everything else is like your dad's though. Maybe crouton may have jx gotten better since your experience
I don't think that's much better than Flyweight in terms of intrinsic meaning. A little better, since it breaks down into hash + consing, but having not heard of either before, I wasn't able to easily guess what it was despite knowing what hashes and cons cells are. Of course, like everything else in Lisp it predates GoF, so I suppose it would have been nice to reuse existing jargon... But maybe a better name would be "memoized construction".

My important data is on my local machine, and my irreplaceable data is backed up to the cloud. It's a very different paradigm of computing, compared to the people whose laptops are "crippled" without Internet.

At a cost of $10 billion I still think the Hubble is one of the best investments that high science has offered us. The images it produces have to be the most fascinating and valuable pieces of data humanity has ever produced.

Hubble's successor, the James Webb, is scheduled to launch in a couple of years. It will orbit the Sun rather than the Earth (at the L2 Earth-Sun Lagrange point) with a mirror more than twice the diameter of Hubble's. The images that it will produce are expected to be even more stunning than Hubble's. These are truly great times we're living in.

I have a question for any under 20 year olds. What are likes/dislikes in current tech? I know it's a general question, but I'm honestly interested.

For instance, is a physical keyboard even necessary? Do you use FB? Apple, or Android phone? Contracts, or prepaid? Do you buy stuff from small websites? Or, is it just not worth the security risk? Does it bother you if a website demands a profile picture? Does the repairability of a electronic device matter? I'd appreciate any feedback.

I'm just curious. I'm not one of these rich guys trying to corner the next big trend. I'm pretty poor, but interested in tech., and would like to get a gauge on where it might be heading.

Following up, it looks like Mahle has actually been tying to address the NOx production. The OP links to this article [1] from 2010, which is mostly taken from three SAE papers that indicate they have been able to constrain the NOx in jet injection engines to "single digit ppm engine out NOx emissions" [2]. The EPA seems to indicate [3] that less than 1 ppm NOx post-catalytic converter is targeted. I don't know if their advancements allow for three-way catalytic converters on a lean burn engine, but that would be pretty impressive.

I'll agree with this. In the context of Python, the behavior is surprising.

> but in Python it is implemented in a different way that is mathematically (but not pragmatically) incorrect.

I disagree with this statement, for pedantic reasons. I wouldn't expect someone to use "/" in the context of standard arithmetic to mean integer division without explicitly redefining it, but redefining it would certainly be "mathematically correct". Look at the notation for Galois fields. That redefines all of the standard operators to work within a field of limited elements, and I'd consider the use-case to be comparable.
Almost everything that technology touched has been 'dehumanized' in some way or the other. It was initially email. How can I take something seriously if its sent as an email, and when the sender has virutally zero cost in doing so. Overtime, we've come to accept that as a norm

I'd reckon smart replies would follow a similar path. Might look odd, but would become natural in a few years.

if all text is UTF-8, then most operations can be performed on bytes without worrying about any transformations whatsoever

This is incorrect for anything other than an ASCII-only world. In general, "just use UTF-8" is a shorthand for "just let me pretend non-ASCII doesn't exist", because it leads to people writing code that assumes one byte == one character.

By rubbing your nose in the difference between str and bytes, Python 3 complicates your life.

Having had a lot of experience with it, I would instead say Python 3 makes you think about things and find bugs at the appropriate time -- up-front during the development process -- rather than at an inappropriate time, like 3AM on a Sunday when your pager goes off because you trusted the "helpful" but wrong way of doing things.
That wasn't my intent. I personally don't care if folks do either (if you hit someone while drunk, I think it's a much worse offense, but if you don't hit folks, then I don't think that the current laws are relaxed enough and yeesh, I think pot should be on sale in HEB).

My point is that I know a lot of old white dudes who smoke pot and who will never go to jail, whereas I have lots of young, poor, brown friends who are constantly harassed.

It's a lot easier to fight bad laws if they are applied even to the privileged.
