They both aim to be JavaScript supersets, so in theory all your code should already work. In practice some of the things you're currently doing will probably upset the type checks. Nothing particularly hard to fix, and you could only use them on new files, or move files over gradually.

If you're targetting ES5 with Babel, you can have TypeScript output ES6, and then pass that through babel. All libs should work fine, but you will not get all the benefits of the type checking if you don't install type definitions for them (some libs already come with those, though).

There really isn't a lot to lose. If you ever feel like it was not a good fit for your project, you can run your code though TypeScript, targetting ES6, and it will produce pretty much the same code without the type annotations.
Anecdotal from my experience with international students:

In my college most of them went back to their countries to work in their parents' or relatives' companies (sometimes). It seemed like getting a US degree was the important part, not learning the material. With a US degree, they got a ton of interviews and jobs where they learned on the job. I know for a fact my US degree would put me at a super high advantage back in my home country, even if I knew less than people there.
I don't work for a startup, but I do work for a small business. The current system does not work for us because there is a lot of uncertainty in the application process. An auction system would actually be an improvement for us and many other small businesses.
You can buy space on a Falcon 9 today and go to the moon. It's just that nobody wants to since there's nothing there. But some of the Lunar X-Prize participants plan to use a Falcon 9.
But how would you get arbitrary code execution? Pickle does solve a lot of problems, but it creates so many that I think it should be removed from the battery pack. You can't make HMAC integrity checks optional, and you make the mandatory by breaking the payload.
"We don't need a lot of libraries. We just need the best ones."

Doesn't "the best library" depend a lot on what you're doing (your domain, workload, stack, etc.)?

Lots of libraries get written because people are dissatisfied with the existing ones (features, performance, etc.).

I haven't used Flow (we actually couldn't get it to work with our build system in a few days and gave up, because TypeScript was easy). We integrated replaced Babel with TypeScript in about one day, and ported the entire codebase from ES6 to TS in about two or three days. The code looks almost identical except for the type annotations, which we were documenting in comments anyway. Also, you can pretty much switch right back to Babel if you want, since Babel will ignore type annotations.

Editor support for TS is amazing. Both Atom and VS Code have great autocompletion and live typechecking as you edit.

Build times with TS are okay. Our codebase rebuilds with ts-loader in webpack within something like 4 seconds upon saving. I'd prefer half a second of course.

We have had no problem using any existing JS code. You can provide type annotations or not, but you don't have to. We use React, moment.js, underscore, jQuery. All the major libraries have type bindings. We also use some internal CoffeeScript libraries and occasionally bother providing type bindings, but usually not.

In short, TypeScript is great and if you're going to adopt ES6 you might as well adopt TypeScript too.

Arguably the effect goes the other way: engineers are more productive in SF, so they're worth paying more in SF. (If that weren't the case, then you wouldn't be able to pay engineers enough to want to live there while still making s profit.)

So the GP's policy would still fit the spirit of the H1B program, which is to allow slots for high-output roles.
Good thing it seems not too lethal?
This article spends way too much time on badly substantiated differences in cultural norms, and not nearly enough on the differences in incentives and skills between international and domestic students.

English skill is an obvious one the article talks about, but along with that comes an understanding of what is likely to get caught by a professor. In other words, domestic students don't cheat as much not because they believe in norms against cheating but rather because they understand better that they will probably get caught, or they understand better how not to get caught (so they don't get caught).

The article discusses incentives as well — the risk of getting sent back to China and never coming back — but fails to consider that that risk is precisely what might make getting good grades more important for foreign students than domestic ones.

What I'm describing could be seen as a difference in cultural norms too, but there's a huge gap between not believing that you're cheating and not knowing how cheaters in America get caught.

In Russia 9 out of 10 students are cheating on exams, The vast majority of young people especially in smaller cities don't care about actual learning of a subject, most of them do it only for a degree. No wonder they continue doing the same when they came to USA
Back when I was a masters foreign student, I had ousted another foreign student who stole my assignment and submitted it as their own. But later I learned how their family had been in poverty and that his parents had done everything possible to get their son out to higher studies in the US and I felt really bad. Life's just more difficult for the average foreign student overall from the small sample space I experienced. That doesn't make it right but the values of right and wrong are somewhat skewed when it comes to survival.

From what little I've read, deep learning is a new way of training nets. Deep neural nets have also been around for 30 years, but backpropagation, their traditional learning algorithm, isn't as efficient in training the middle layers.
Original parent comment which has now been removed:

> In software and programming it matters little if you cheat. It works or it's shit. It's easy to tell the difference. And it's pretty easy to fire interns or juniors, etc. Not only that but you don't really learn how to do jobs anyhow.

Every single sentence in your comment is ludicrously false.

> In software and programming it matters little if you cheat.

What if you steal software from your old employer? What if you hack a competitor? What if you base your entire project on something that you can't legally use, and then you're sued?

Outside the corporate/legal world, there are still areas where cheating is very harmful. Violating open-source licenses, pretending someone else's work is your own, etc. The open-source world works (when it does work) because of transparency and something like the honor system.

Cheating matters a lot in software.

> It works or it's shit.

That is just complete, utter nonsense. There is a huge spectrum from "good" to "shit", and "working" begins near the "shit" end.

> It's easy to tell the difference.

If it were easy to tell the difference, you could just throw a junior developer into a management role. Lots of juniors have the people skills and organization skills to manage a small project, but they don't have the experience to know which practices are OK in the long-run and which practices aren't.

Object-oriented programming is a great example. Many programmers in the FP camp think all OO programs are shit. Many of them took years to come to that conclusion.

If it's so easy and clear-cut, why is there little agreement on what makes good software and what doesn't?

> And it's pretty easy to fire interns or juniors, etc.

Not in the US and most other developed countries. Firing people is risky and expensive. I worked for a company that was sued by an ex employee for a completely bullshit reason, and the company lost $400k in legal fees that they could never recover because the employee didn't have that kind of cash.

> Not only that but you don't really learn how to do jobs anyhow.

You don't learn how to write code for a living, but you do learn time management and people skills, which are much more important anyway. Most coding work at most companies only requires an average worker. Would it be better to have people with amazing skills doing 100% of the work? Yes, but there aren't enough of them.

What differentiates all those average people is whether they work well on a team, how well they manage their time, and how well they learn. All those things are learned in college, and all of them are undermined by cheating.
I was around during this time and can vouch for it. Back in the 90s there was really nothing like a computer security industry. Firewalls were things you heard about but almost never saw in practice. Systems were hooked up in ways which today would be considered gross negligence. University networks and Telenet were full of easily-accessible machines and networking equipment. One of the first times I got caught doing bad shit was on a SysV Unix system of the newspaper in the next town over. I had met another user on that system who was one of these vigilantes. He actually had caught me trying to root the box and deactivated my dialup login so that when I logged in, it spat out the motd and immediately disconnected. The message said to call a number for "support". I called the long distance number, and got questions and a lecture about my bad behavior. You know, being thirteen years old, I didn't think things through. I was just scared for my life that the cops were going to show up to my dad's house (they did later, for something different, but I digress). He was totally open about not working for the newspaper, and not being the regular sysop. He said he was another user trying to keep me from getting in real trouble.

There is a "telenet simulator" on the internet[0] that you should check out. This will give you some idea what it was like to use Sprint's Telenet system, which was a worldwide dialup network serving all kinds of juicy customers like banks, airlines, all kinds of businesses. This system had been devised and deployed long before the world wide web. Telenet had local dialups in most American cities[1]. Lots of those systems were using crap passwords, or defaults. You could use systems to dial other systems that weren't hooked into Telenet. It was tremendous fun exploring that network[2]. It was a hell of a lot of fun. Truly an exceptional time that I really have nostalgia for.

I know about Erlang and what it can do, and I maintain Go is the only mainstream, non-functional language that does abstraction of event based/threaded programming well, or at all. I'm not even sure Rust does...the best I can find is it was planned to, but it didn't make it in.

And I don't consider any functional language as a viable choice for the vast majority of mainstream users.
“Terrible schools” is at least partly a upper-middle-class-white code for “schools full of poor minority kids”. A significant proportion of white kids living in the city go to private schools, and other white families move out of the city when their kids get to school age. Especially by high school, there are very few white kids left in SF schools.

Beyond that, teacher salaries are a sad joke, and make it basically impossible for teachers to afford housing anywhere in the Bay Area.

There doesn’t seem to be particularly more violent crime in SF than any other city, but there are a lot of car break-ins and bike thefts.
Could it be that those people think that more social programs would only be in their self-interest in the short term, and are taking a longer view (as appears to have just happened in Switzerland)?

Why is anyone who votes against short-term self-interest automatically uninformed?
I think it's very important to note that foreign students are not representative of immigrants as a whole.

At many schools in the US, foreign students are not eligible for financial aid. The students who are able to attend school are often wealthy (sometimes extremely wealthy), and they're in the US to check a box. They come for the diploma and then return home to do... something. They care a lot less about actually learning anything than a student who actually needs the degree to get by in post-college life.

Alright, I took the bait. I read through the paper and it seems it heavily depends on Vedas for some of it's arguments. So your point about not considering Vedas as credible evidence doesn't stand. The paper doesn't comment anything (at least conclusively) about the Indian nation. The paper is about caste system.

Upon googling "micromax market share", the first article that comes up was written on March 16th, 2016 [1]. That shows a dwindling market share. Other articles share same opinion.

Wait, so this is straight up gradient ascent on the vertices of the feasable set? I always thought the simplex method was more complicated than that. I guess you do need to maintain some kind of queue of current-best vertices.

It's definitely a thing. SF has a pretty substantial homeless population and apparently very few options for them to defecate that isn't the sidewalk. You can spend all day walking around playing human or dog. Walking by one of the BART stops on a warm day, you're hit with a pretty strong smell of urine.

On a similar note, I can't find the study now but I've seen the pretty much all social stratas and races commit crimes at the same rate. It's just that 'we' care about policing and charging 'others' more than ourselves.

As an example, heading East out of London the motorway is often heavy with speed cameras and often police cars (poorer end of London) . Heading West into the Cotswolds (the rich area) , there are few cameras and a high level of very fast speeding. But if you looked at a study it would appear that those from the 'poorer' areas committed more 'speed crime' as those are the only areas we are effectively policing.

I wonder if those looking for cheating also start from the position that foreign pupils are more likely to cheat and therefore spend more time looking for cheating?

The main problem for me, is that Flow doesn't support Windows (yet?). I've been working solo on a frontend a couple of months now, and the team has just been extended with a new developer (yay). However, he uses Windows, and so all my type annotations are worthless. We're making the switch to TypeScript once 2.0 is released (easier to port with strictNullChecks).

Reading this, it's clear that game development is now a mature technology. I was working on physics engines in the late 1990s, when nobody really knew how to do that very well. There were Gamasutra postmortems where the game physics went badly wrong and things flew apart.

In the early years of the PS3, game projects were failing because the Cell architecture (a small PowerPC CPU plus six auxiliary Cell processors with tiny memory) required completely new game engine architectures. That was finally figured out, but development on the PS3 seemed to run about two years late, which set Sony back.

Now there are mature game engines, mature physics engines, the graphics pipeline is in good shape, and the hardware is powerful enough. Problems in game development now are more about the game than the underlying technology.

(Pre-1990s, game development was a cram job, trying to get stuff done on limited hardware.)

Dunno from gradient ascent. Here's an example Simplex tableau:

I'm not sure how the Djikstra algorithm and Simplex tableaux marry.
Some reasons I hear a lot and that reflect why I don't want to move back there:

- Absurdly expensive. This one is much-discussed.

- The city itself has significant sections that are really not nice (unsafe, garbage on the streets, homeless people begging on every corner, etc.), to a much higher degree than other cities.

- Traffic around the Bay Area has gotten as bad as LA (in some cases worse).

- Highly homogeneous residents. It's difficult to meet someone who doesn't work for a tech company (or who doesn't want to work for one).

- Sausage party. To people coming from cities with a normal gender split in the singles demographic, this one really sucks.

- Good things are always crowded. Ex. Last time I tried to get brunch with someone on a weekend in SF there were 2+ hour lines at every place we tried.

- Weak culture and night life compared to cities like NYC, LA, etc.

I'm sure others will chime in with additional ones or rebut some of these, so YMMV.

Elon Musk thinks he's going to be making 1 million cars a year in 2020, which is ridiculous. Apple purportedly has targeted 2019 as the year they go into production, which is also ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as Faraday Future, who started later than Apple, but claims their first vehicle will go into production in 2017.

2017 also happens to be the year Volvo intends to begin public trials with fully autonomous vehicles. Most of the other big carmakers have targeted 2020 as the year they'll have fully autonomous vehicles, which, while still ridiculous, is a little bit less ridiculous.

In the automotive industry, Musk has established himself as the pacesetter for making promises that won't be kept, and everybody wants a piece of the action.
