It's great that you learned Python and Django instead of Rails, but it seems pretty uncalled for to call Ruby useless outside of Rails.

Programming languages take off because they show off their power by implementing a great library or by doing a better way of doing things which is what Ruby did using Rails.

The impact of Rails on frameworks/libraries in other languages is also significant since a lot of Ruby developers moved to JS/Elixir/Go and started contributing and implementing the best patterns found in Rails/Sinatra etc.
In my quest for a memory management scheme on Leaf it's your final point which is primarily forcing my decision: the compatibility with other memory managers. In this article I just wish to provide counterpoint to those people trying to convince me that tracing GC is a better approach. In the end, it's the need to right libraries and be compatible that prevents me from using a complex GC.
No updates. Hence the "As Is."

They're buying the version of the website as it exists at the point of time when they buy it. The assumption being that it works for them now, it should continue working for them in the future, regardless of what direction the .com goes.

They threaten to shutdown your SIM eventually if they don't have an ID#/passport associated with it. But they are very bad about follow through.
In Firefox, holding CTRL or SHIFT (don't remember which one) bypasses JS hooks and always displays the menu. I think it's even better solution :)
Those are some of the points I'm considering as well when doing the memory management for Leaf. My desire to have predictable destructors is tough to reconcile in a tracing GC.

I'm uncertain of what you mean with "copying the data over" in reference to large data. Surely it's still just the pointer being copied? Or are you speaking of things like `std::vector` in C++ that are value-copied by default?
Holy... ~5M ops/sec on Android!!

How did you test it on Android? On stock browser? Or on some sort of default web view control? Does that mean an Android phone is more powerful than a cheap Atom computer?

What about Continuous Integration?
Though I like the many options we now have to easily set-up some CI, a lot of entreprises still rely on old-fashioned on-premise CI. I can only wonder about the impact of depreciating Bamboo Cloud and what to use next.
Their crap is what it appears to be though. If they weren't delivering on their clickbaity titles then people would soon learn. It's not like they're anonymous publishers, sites like ehow and livestrong are strong brands. They're not counting on unaware users.
Not really. Those are equivalent to monitors and links in Erlang/BEAM, if we
go this line of thought. OTP is a collection of architectural patterns coded
down in Erlang (what means OTP is a framework).
That would be a really good selling point, thanks for mentioning it, but we're not looking for really junior developers at the moment. That said, we would be a good place for mentoring on launching a startup, so we might mention that.

It doesn't affect mutator performance, until it does, and your program grinds to a halt for several seconds.
Which makes it already far too complicated, more complex than a real time mark&sweep. Especially if there are loop checks - you cannot just empty the queue gradually, it's all or nothing.
Having recently flown from the UK to Hong Kong and then on to Manila, I am suddenly struck by how much of an honesty policy we are expected to follow. The idea of tagging the laptop as in India is a step in the right direction, but at no point in my journey was my laptop tagged. It was placed in a bin with all my other valuable possessions (phone, wallet, camera) and it's only through practise that I manage to get through the scanners at the same time as my possessions. At any point after I gave my laptop over to security, someone could have stepped up and claimed it as their own. Security provides exactly zero defense for this, and it's only through vigilence that I've never lost anything yet.

I do understand the need to scan the laptop separately to its bag, but this honesty policy just failed hard. It's a stupid system. The only workaround is to keep everything in sight until you're 100% ready to step through the scanner, and then watch the other side of the belt for all your stuff.

The fact that the TSA handed the laptop to someone other than its rightful owner lands them straight in the blame for this. At the risk of increasing the time required to clear security, a big fuss was made last year that all electronics must have charged batteries so that it can be demonstrated they work (not that this solves the key problem). If the TSA want to personally pick up someone's laptop, they should ask the owner to power it on and enter the password to prove it's theirs before they hand it back. Yes, this also incurs a privacy issue (intentionally defeating your own security system), but as repeatedly demonstrated, border controls have some quite far-reaching powers and can force this anyway.

Edit: also, shame on the security people and the police for dismissing the idea of a crime being committed. Intentional or not, this is theft. As others have commented, it's possible the two women were working together to steal a laptop, but even if it was an honest mistake, it should be investigated as if it were intentional. And the reluctance of the people involved to give case numbers, log it etc. just reeks of 'we lost your bag, thank you for flying Delta Airlines'. I sincerely hope this guy gets at least a check for a new laptop and an apology.
Pricing might play a part there. A base WRX starts at $26K. The STI goes up to $35K. The Honda Civic starts at $18K. If you're on a limited budget, your base vehicle needs to be cheap enough so that you still have funds left over for the upgrades.
>> Promising people a product you simply haven't made isn't kosher

Agreed- but I'm saying that that's exactly what I get from ads of the products you mention, Siri, Alexa et al.

Case in point: that real-time Skype translation ad that made the rounds a while ago.

In any case, I don't pay that much attention to what is advertised. But I do pay attention to two things: on the one hand, (scientific) papers published by the various teams and on the other hand, the announcements those teams make in the technology press.

I've read most of the Watson papers and quite a few of the NLP stuff from Google and followed the assorted tech press announcements. I have to say that my impression is that Google is brazenly overhyping their stuff, they constantly try to fudge things as much as they can.

Their dependency parser beats previous efforts on the Brown corpus? It's the best natural language parser ever! Their image recognition beats imagenet? It's showing superhuman ability! And so on. IBM's advertisement is relatively tame in comparison.

All the other major players in this are equally unscrupulous and there's no point in singling anyone out.
Thanks for this clarification. Also, thanks for the product, it's been invaluable.

You're correct though, there are plenty of common applications that are either meant to be compiled with strict aliasing disabled, or which just produce tonnes of warnings under normal circumstances as it is. It also seems to be compiler dependant. I found a popular complained about type aliasing, but I moved to a newer GCC and the error went away.
Hi,

I'm one of the Product Manager on Bitbucket Pipelines. The beta is indeed free, with a limitation on the number of minutes per user per month (starting at 300mins/user/month but that may change during the beta).

We haven't decided on the post-beta pricing yet. The beta will help us understand better how our customers are using it so that we can price it accordingly. We're leaning towards a model that scales well with the number of users on an account.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks,

Dude, you're too pessimistic, much like all of our Romanian brethren :)

Not to glorify our own revolution, because there isn't much to glorify about it, but the spark triggering a revolution is never conscious and it's by definition a violent process, so of course people do not want revolutions. It's not like they were speaking about it on forums, it's not like they woke up one day and decided to have it. And yes, you'll always have people satisfied with their lives, or ignorant. Doesn't matter though and you know as well as I do that Radio Free Europe was the most popular radio station, as a form of civil unrest, in spite of people actually fearing the secret service for listening to it. What happened in Bucharest wasn't an isolated event. It started earlier with Brașov in 1986. It was bound to happen, trying to hide the events from Timișoara being just what broke the camel's back.

> some older people that I have met even say they liked it better back then

Old people always say that. It's an inherent bias in how our memory works. We tend to forget the bad and our attention deficit only grows as we get older.

Did you know that in the past years we've had the lowest levels of sickness and that global poverty is at an all times low? We are probably living the best years in history and when I'll be old I'll be able to say that as well and regret year 2016 and say to youngsters that "in my days not that many people died of hunger".
I've read a lot of these things, and while I recognise there is some research in favour of private offices, I also think it's currently very 'trendy' to say that open spaces are bad, and I think a lot of the discussion is very developer-focused. Most of the people in our office are non-developers, and while the developers like quiet, our creative teams get far more enjoyment (and seemingly productivity) as a result of being able to talk and bounce ideas off each other much more.
Lets be honest, every damn supervisor and management position within the TSA airport security apparatus should be on those lines until its fixed.

What always amuses me is the thought of them actually finding a bomb, what would they do? I mean back in Moscow and the recent Brussels bombs were triggered in such long lines.
Thanks! No, actually. Latest Chrome on the $150 laptop also did ~5M ops/sec, so they are about equal. Which makes sense.

This applies in the case of nuclear, but not in others: jet engine, rocketry.
It appeared that 2016 would see end of the romance between populism and conservatism; however, it may simply show who's boss in the relationship.
This is also my first instinct. But be careful, people who do things you find wrong might still have intelligent things to say. Evaluate ideas on their own merit.
>> What other products or innovations have come out of IBM Research?

Also- the IBM models, like mentioned above. That's a bunch of NLP models that have been very influential and are still.

If you studied NLP now, for instance, you'd hear about them when learning about NER or WSD etc.
With Germany prosecuting people who download torrents, UK banning internet pornography and US manhunt against Edward Snowden and Assange, there is definitely more than one shade of free. The image of freedom is being shaped and tailored for everyone individually, it's a Brave New World out there.

Your comment is not useful, but nevertheless his endorsement is worth discussing. It's obvious that trump is more aligned with his world view of a more risk taking, long-term planning and less people-pleasing leadership.

You should also not assert yourself as a representative or gatekeeper of the community. It's this mindset that should not be welcome here.

That's a confusing choice of terminology. "allocated" reads like the past-tense of "allocate"; it's natural to think "allocated" means "was allocated at some point in the past". Maybe it is correct in some technical sense, but for the casual reader "live" would be a lot clearer.
With the exception of Hungary, the graphs don't look to me like a "swing to the right" so much as a "swing to the margins"; the centrist parties are losing votes to both "far right" and "other" parties.
I use it for a couple of (related) reasons.

1. A few other libraries still depend on jQuery in turn, so I find that I still usually have it available in every app I work on anyway, so I might as well use it.

2. It "just works" and I already know it, and since it's already there, anyway (see (1) above) it just makes sense to use it. IOW, I don't feel enough pain from using jQuery to justify going off and learning what combination of new ecmascript (es6? es7? es9037253223252??? ???) features and/or libraries du jour that I would need to do everything jQuery does for me now.

That said, I mostly just use it for the selectors - which I understand can be easily replaced with native features now - and the ajax method. So in reality, yeah, I probably could ditch jQuery without too much pain, excepting for (1) above, but... why bother? I don't care too much about the size, since I don't typically link in tons of javascript libraries, ad networks, etc. to kill page load times, and page bloat seems to be the biggest argument I hear against using jQuery.

I assure you I don't need to rationalise. I'm under no delusion that I'm a terrific person and do the assorted immoral things I do with full understanding and acceptance.

Demand Media has strong brands. They aren't anonymous/fly by night operators. If they were promising content and not delivering with any sort of regularity they'd lose viewers. They're not doing that though. The content when you click on an ehow or livestrong article is exactly what you'd expect from an ehow or livestrong article. That you find this content undesirable is very much subjective. Plenty of people seem to enjoy it.
I would say "Modern" means that it's needs a recent Browser to work correct. Users with Browsers older than 2 years are probably not supported.
>Don't blame the victim.

Ugh.

>If the government decides they need to take my stuff away from me to check it, they better make sure that I get it back correctly.

Absolutely! But if you keep expecting them to do that without being careful and paying attention to your own stuff guess who foots the bill? This could've been all mitigated by OP being slightly more careful. Why do I say this? Because it's easier to ask someone to pay attention to their stuff than it is to ask the government to change its practices (bureaucracy etc). It's not victim blaming, it's about finding the most practical solution to prevent this problem from happening again.
Maybe not a real bomb, but what about something that explodes in confetti. How long do you think I'll be in jail for?
We kind of have to keep China engaged economically to keep the threat of war down and reduce the desire of their leadership to look for conflict to deflect internal criticism.

Amen! In my experience, on articles critical of China, 90% of the comments are deflections about the West. Here's one thread that's easy to count [1]. 9/10 comments talk about how the West does it too

I'm not sure about the others but the D model is probably the worst of both worlds - you can transparently store a GC allocated reference in to unmanaged heap and risk having dangling pointers after a random collection or you have to root everything you allocate increasing the scan.

Something like Rust has a type system powerful enough to track such things so if you added GC to Rust you could deal with it sanely.

I tend to agree but don't overlook the downside of rfcnt loops. It's quite easy to introduce them (for instance, when creating closures in Objective-C), hence negating the big selling point of gc in the first place.
Interesting to note that Spain, Portugal & Germany, countries with a long and famous history of right-wing dictatorships, are some of the countries that fare best. And Italy, also with a similar history, is seeing its right-wing party support go lower on each election. Only Britain and Czech Republic fare similarly well. Although me being Spanish I can say that while we may not have any party in congress "openly extreme right" (nazi like etc), our Partido Popular, one of our top 2 parties and currently in power, is definitely right wing and a direct descendant of franquism (dictatorship), since many of the top dogs in the party were ministers with Franco himself. In other words, here in Spain the right wing successfully camouflaged itself as democrat as to apparently mislead anyone that we don't have a problem here, when we actually do. Maybe the situation in Italy and Portugal is the same, I don't know. I'm also surprised to find out that while Golden Dawn's rise in Greece was all over the media as "the new rise of nazism etc", other countries have MUCH higher rates of right wing parties and nobody seems to care.

He reiterates many of the things he 's been saying for a while and written in his book. It's worth reiterating them, probably because things have not changed.

He makes a distinction of computers as the "one field that has progres", but, is it really true that IT is not stuck in a rut as well? What are the new paradigms developed recently? Computer vision, machine learning were established in the 80s , despite only becoming commonplace nowadays. There is little progress in theory since then. Engineers obsess over the rediscovery of functional languages, a relic of the 50s.

Commercial success should not be taken as an indicator of real progress.
Periodically raise up such articles à la "Rails is dead, long live the Rails". Rails has won in the past because it was so more pragmatic than its alternatives, and in the end better designed, and still wins now because it is more mature than its recent better designed competitors (Phoenix, Hanami, ..), and its community is so a big speed up now.

I'd say there are more exceptions. Every country seems to be bit different in who loses to whom. In Poland left-wing parties lost mostly to centrist parties, and right wing party just gradually gains support since its first rise to prominence.
I'm one of the Developer Advocates at Atlassian with a focus on the CI/CD space.

For "old-fashioned on-premise" CI/CD, Bamboo Server is still a solid offering from Atlassian, with active development on new features and support for existing ones. Discontinuing Bamboo Cloud is more about being able to "right-size" our cloud offerings so Atlassian can offer a CI/CD service for a team's first microservice deployed into AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and that scales up without overhead to many services each with many instances in a more complex environment like AWS ECS. And not just for AWS but for Azure, Google, Heroku, or whatever your choice of cloud platform. I believe Bitbucket Pipelines will be that next generation solution, while Bamboo will continue to serve on-premise needs for many years to come.
I can give some more context on our launch. Today is the start of AtlasCamp, our annual developer conference, in Barcelona. We planned the launch on that date a while ago because it's the best time for us to share this exciting news.

We've always been invested in the CI/CD market (Bamboo has been around a long time) and Pipelines was just making sense for us to do to help all Cloud teams to build great software.

With Trump and Sanders in the US, Brexit in Britain and the rise of what's being called the "far right" in Europe, we're seeing a referendum on globalism.

The pendulum swings back and forth and this move shouldn't be surprising to anyone who reads history. People who believe in a Fukuyama-style 'end of history' scenario are shocked that nationalism is bubbling up again, but it is a natural correction. Local governance, culture and economy have a de facto legitimacy among people that de jure unions never will.

The Left's challenge is to acknowledge this and help create a framework for a peaceful world of disparate cultures and loose alliances.
> Imagine a degenerate scenario: using up all of your memory to allocate a single linked list, and then dropping it all at once.

Sorry, I am not sure I follow this example. I assume you create a list O(n) in size where n is the maximum allowed by memory (not sure memory matters).

For RC: You drop the single list, as you drop the head, you decrease reference counts to each member (one-by-one), check reference counts for 0, and free them. I.e. taking O(n) time.

For Tracing GC: You'll eventually sweep, then check if each members is unreachable as determined by the sweeper, and free each member. I.e. also taking O(n) time.

Am I overlooking something?
It is not reasonable to round up protesters and throw them in jail. That's an authoritarian regime who's afraid of its population. At the same time, they ask this population to lead China to greater economic growth. It does not make sense.
