You're right, this could be a CLI tool. But the difference is only how you start - clone a boilerplate or run a command to generate one - a pretty small difference compared to the actual framework you end up with, which I think is an important milestone.

I see Redux+React as becoming the next Ruby on Rails due to the set of conventions it promotes. These conventions will have the same benefit to companies and developers switching between projects/developers and getting up to speed very quickly due to the same structures ( actions / reducers / etc ) being used by multiple projects.

Well, the regular bluetooth headsets wont do the job just yet, you want the microphone to be directional forward facing to keep it simple, preferably adaptable but that's more complex. The regular bluetooth headsets are aimed at picking up your own voice. So you'd want something more hearing aid like.

By the way, chemotherapy can cause depression. It's not the "normal" depression associated with the realization that one has cancer, but a deeper depression with a separate cause. It seems people who undergo chemo lose the ability to create new neurons in the hippocampus. The hippocampus is the only place in the brain where new neurons are born throughout our life. Losing the ability to create these cells is causing depression.
I think I see what commenter meant. You have to physically be on the inside in the sense you need a direct, short connection to the network that cost ridiculous money along with HW and SW that costs ridiculous money. A prestigious position most stock traders couldn't compete with if they wanted to. Plus, you get to preempt all of them from this position without them even knowing it.
And Mirage. This release is really awesome:

- It puts Mirage in use in real production systems.

- It strengthens the ecosystem around Hypervisor.framework. After xhyve and Veertu, this is really nice. So much for the meme that newer OS X versions only integrate iOS features.

What benefit is there to harass and increase the stress levels of the patient? If the mother test positive, that itself justify additional tests of the child and the breast milk, without the need to accuse the patient first. The first priority in a hospital should be the health of the patients, and only onces that is ensured should the hospital accuse the patient and bring up secondary concerns like CPS.

Something that was missing in this story was the lack of dialog between the hospital staff and patient. False positives is possible, so why not send a trained psychiatrist at a positive? They can talk to the patient and check if the result make sense, and if nothing else, start address issues such as postpartum depression.
My understanding is not great, but it looks like they're bypassing a host VM entirely and using a shim (HyperKit) to talk to whatever virtualization the underlying OS supplies.

We need a more radical solution to devalue our private information. Consider by analogy cell phones: IMEI blacklists (in theory) fundamentally devalue stealing phones. What can we do that fundamentally makes assembling troves of personal information useless? Poisoning it with plausible garbage might be part of the answer. Also the answer /might/ be regulatory. HIPAA has teeth, we could add something else with teeth. Or perhaps an insurance-driven approach: if holding personal information was a big liability in the event of a leak, it would be prudent to keep as little as possible.
This is a good and often overlooked point. Good engineers will start to get it better more often, but nobody can predict the future.

I'm sure you're right about the probability that many small business owners would still behave honorably if problems were brought to their attention first, but GP was, verbatim, referring to "bad charges coming in from the vendor," and "fraudulent or even mistaken charges," which is quite different than the negligent-customers scenario you're describing.

Edit: Not to mention that GP is referring to an anecdote of GGP's in which Amazon told him to dispute the charge because they couldn't sort it out. That's disgraceful.
tempting Deux Ex-esque scenario. but - this machine would be #1 hacking target of all nefarious people, agencies, NSA and whatnot for reason or another. and all programs, systems and architectures have fault.

maybe a mixed system - AI would decide certain topic, and human assembly/public vote in important matters would confirm/reject the solution. this way AI could evolve and have a proven track, and we wouldn't lose all control.

it feels scary to give all control to something that could fail fast and in epic scale, Skynet-style (I know, I played one too many games in my life and it shows)

getting rid of Virtualbox entirely with their own VM...

Not really. This builds heavily upon Hypervisor.framework, which is included in new OS X versions. Hypervisor.framework is pretty cool, because it allows for building VM applications that are sandboxed and don't require kernel modules. As a result, Hypervisor.framework applications can even be distributed via the App Store (see e.g. Veertu).

In a past job, I worked with a company who deployed thin clients at various locations around the country to rapidly expand their footprint with minimum upfront capital.

However, we constantly ran in to problems with this model of centralizing computing to a Terminal Server.

If the office doesn't have 100% stable and fast internet, your users will complain. Users are accustomed to lightening fast response from clicking/typing. Also, if the internet does go out, the entire office is offline and productivity halts until resolved.

We then investigated redundant internet links... But, there's a point where the monthly recurring cost no longer justifies this model.

As cool as this tech is, I don't think it will ever take off as the risk of lost productivity, and user frustration, is too high.
I didn't say constructor arguments don't have tuple semantics :). In OCaml tuples are a "unit", i.e. you can't use (,) as an operator. In that sense they match with the constructor semantics: it needs all its arguments at once. It's the constructors not being functions that I was complaining about. Also, I'd say that capitalisation alone is not enough to compensate for constructors looking like they're curried functions. But that's just a matter of taste.

You should not assume that the EU commission is stupid, as they have a large department which employs experts across many fields (mostly scientists as well) that informs policymakers about the risks and potential of these things.

And concerning the potential risk of failure: Yes, everyone is aware of that. The flagship projects fund research, which means that there is a risk of failure and that we don't know all the details yet (otherwise it would be engineering). The funding bodies are fully aware of this and they do not expect that every project they fund will work out, but they know that today's research is tomorrow's revenue.
> There's a palpable excitement around Hyperloop and I can't wait to know if this will reshape our world or not.

I find it rather doubtful that it will change anything for a number of reasons, including:

- governments don't even care to invest in their existing railway network, and are highly resistant in finding any justification for high-speed networks (not even very-high speed)

- the hyperloop concept is only a concept, it's disastrously expensive, based on untried technology, and highly vulnerable to a disastrous PR campaign. Keep in mind that it took a single accident to ground the whole Concorde fleet, in spite of all its history and having major backers.

- mass transit decision-makers are very conservative and highly risk-adverse. Money is spent only on tried-and-true technology. In the rare cases that it isn't, all hell breaks loose (see BART)

- no one knows what will it cost to maintain it, or its reliability.

- High-speed railway only makes sense in the small window of opportunity sandwiched between cases where air travel and car/roadway travel makes sense. That window of opportunity is located somewhere, IIRC, between travel distances between 200 and 600km. Additionally, for high-speed railway to make sense, it needs to be connected with other mass transit systems through effective multimodal transport hubs. This is very expensive and takes a lot of planning respected throughout centuries of investment in infrastructure and urban planning. The hyperloop concept fails to deliver in any of the requirements while in return bringing nothing to the table.

Let's keep things in perspective: France, Germany, and Japan already have decades of high-speed railway under their belt and are packed with success stories. Yet, the whole world in general, and the US in particular, decided not to follow them in their successful venture. These decisions are made rationally. Why would anyone suddenly invest in a high-risk concept that fails to justify itself?
This is definitely culturally relevant and very cool to see it being treated as such. That whole motif of Mixtape cover art is a trip and a half to me, seeing these cliches over and over and over.

As for the Mixtapes themselves, I'm still kind of reluctant to jump all-in on the Copyright free-for-all that Rap likes to work with (e.g. Tarantino's Kill Bill siren) and occasionally gets called out on. I think retaining some kind of performance rights and compensation standards - think 2Pac's version of "Changes" - is just fine for the useful progress of the arts (as Copyright intends).

Besides, I'd be pretty pissed off if a shitty rapper used a track of mine and started blowing up without cutting me a piece of the action - that biting shit won't fly with me, even if it makes me sound like Don Henley. Now, if approached by somebody I respect and admire, say, Chance, I'd have to think about signing for free or not. One situation apparently went down kind of like that with Chance and Apollo Brown, in that using a beat for free was not approved by the respective camps[1]. Hip-hop showing respect and doing good business is nice to see.

To define someone as bad you must also define good - and if you are defining the terms, they are meaningless.

From the perspective of the "bad men", they are serving good - be that the good they see in themselves or whatever cause it is they act in. Stalin genuinely believed he was acting in the interests of the Soviet people. Pol Pot was liberating his countrymen.

I would argue that the GP's interpretation is correct - we willingly ignore our own moral compasses when we examine the behaviour of the powerful, as to admit that those that hold power over you are "evil" is to admit your own weakness in not actively opposing that power - so power does indeed corrupt those who behold it, as much as those who hold it - if not moreso, as the "bad men" act in "enlightened self interest" and do no wrong in their own eyes - but you do do wrong by knowingly averting your eyes.
We've already seen the advantages although the total cost-benefit is unknown. For one, several CPU's for Scheme/LISP in past had hardware-accelerated garbage collection and/or a bunch of cores. Automatic, memory management and multicore are now mainstream due to perceived benefits. Works down to CPU in LISP machines.

Also, I've seen some of these benefits of Genera in modern stacks but I still don't have all of these capabilities:

SSRN posts anything (no peer review). It has the same function as arXiv.

The only issue I see with moving to arXiv right now is that currently arXiv only accepts papers on topics such as physics, math, and CS. For arXiv to be helpful to the SSRN crowd, it would need to have a few new categories (e.g., "quantitative social science", which could be split into subtopics mirroring the main topics in economics and management science journals).

In theory, agreed. In practice I see a lot of re-compilation in large projects.
The Gear VR use your smartphone screen, not the Rift. That's a resolution of 1440 x 2560 for a Samsung Galaxy S7, which mean 1440 x 1280 per eye. The optic is also made to have more pixel in the center than the border of the viewport. I have no doubt that you can have a resolution similar to VGA with no issue and even better than that if you use a bigger screen. I'm pretty sure none of us had any trouble working in VGA back in the day either.

Advice please: I tried to wade into the weird and complicated world of web development a few months ago, but eventually I gave up.

At first I used a boilerplate (in fact I think it was a previous version of this one), but it felt like I was jumping in the deep end. I didn't know what anything was, I didn't understand the configuration or the setup, and nothing was making sense.

So instead I decided "I'll start from scratch, introduce dependencies as I need them, and I'll actually understand what's happening". But then as I started to try and introduce dependencies and pieces of the toolchain and stack (Babel, GraphQL/Relay etc.) and that was a whole different type of confusing. I found it really hard to follow tutorials unless they were written for EXACTLY the stack I was using, because small changes seemed to radically change how I had to go about things.

How do you start? Both situations seem perilous. Bottom up is really difficult unless you follow a tutorial that exactly matches your stack. Starting with boilerplate means that if anything breaks you have no idea how to fix it or how anything works.

The problem is precisely preventing what you're trying to do, because it's unsafe.
Once the nightmare scenario arrives though, it's usually too late to do anything about it. Look how impossibly hard it is to stop the NSA from gathering all of the network traffic.

Just this morning I heard on NPR about a group working on genetic modifications to make half-human, half-animal beings, apparently for organ harvest reasons.

He was world building, you basically read a book setting up for what could be turned into an RPG/MMO or series of books or TV/movie properties.

If you read up you'll see he's been sitting on this concept for some time and shopped it around for those puproses.

I look forward to more books based on the world in the third book/part, an MMO seems like a cool idea too.

Snow Crash and Diamond Age were my introduction to Stephenson in the late 90's. So far, of the ones I've read they are probably the most accessible and, as you mention, fun.

Even though it's not essential in any way to read them in that order, The Diamond age is hinted to take place later on in the same world as Snow Crash so if you've got no preference for which order to read them, you might as well go that route. There a couple of winks to Snow Crash readers in The Diamond Age.
Here is the thing:

You want to be a good programer, you need a brain, a time investment (a bad work ethic slows this down) and a thick skin. If you can't take criticism of your work, your never going to get better.

Once programing becomes something you can "just do" then your going to need another set of skills: Understanding users and understanding business. Here again the hard work comes into play, and a bit of social skill and empathy.

Tallent and passion are an accelerator. Name someone GREAT in anything and they probably have both of those for what ever it is they are great at.
Exactly. We had older stuff that could handle this. There was a ton of innovation in MPP's and clusters that could be applied to today's problems with ASIC's or FPGA's with interesting results. I intend to do just that at some point.

Far as nanosecond comms, they might want to consider using the old Active Messages or Fast Messages schemes. Their latency was tiny even on Ethernet. SGI also put FPGA's on NUMA interconnect back in the day. What Intel is doing is an increment on that rather than revolutionary or anything. One could use NUMAscale's chips to connect these things together.

There's also academic tools that could be polished for producing Verilog/VHDL automatically from higher-level descriptions. High-level synthesis it's called. Works well enough for simple constructs like he says he uses. Don't have to go straight to RTL level haha.
