It's not quite 100ms. A bit less. The explanation is simple : if tcp exponential backoff fires, you will have a very bad time on any tcp connection. Site owners, obviously, don't want that.

Try this : iptables -A INPUT -m statistic --mode random --probability 0.001 -j DROP

And see how your internet works. TLDR: sometimes loading times go through the roof, some instant messages go through in <0.1s, and on occasion it takes 30+ seconds, on occasion it's a DNS query that gets dropped and a page load suddenly takes 1 minute for no identifiable reason, large downloads always "get fucked" (suddenly lose 90% of their bandwidth and take several minutes to recover). Burstly traffic doesn't work. If you start your firefox with 20+ tabs open 80% of them will never load.

You will not enjoy the experience.

So yes, people think that adding 100ms of latency is better than dropping a packet under contention.

Probably pretty negative. Is copyright enforced in equal ways across the EU?

I imagine content creators are interested in copyright laws being applied equally across regions. That includes things like subpoenas to ISPs and requests for taking down content that's illegally copied.

Is all that equally possible across the EU? My guess is it isn't. In the US, copyright is enforced the same across all states.

It looks like it's only the specific hint at the bottom that requires any custom knowledge about the types themselves.

If you're interested, there were a couple more examples shown elsewhere in this thread:

Something I've just found is that the errors can also be output in a nice machine readable format, so the suggested fixes can be read in by your editor plugin.

When they first announced this model I ended up in the group that had this "feature" enabled. It was completely useless. I was almost about to change the browser for Chrome because I could barely broswe a few minutes before it crashed due to excessive CPU and memory usage. And then I got another update which reverted back to the old single process architecture.

If it's as messed up as it was back then, it looks like I'll be having to switch broswer. I have a similar usage pattern as yours, with the added disadvantage that I group my tabs in windows, and every window seems to carry a big overhead.

Btw, I'm not "memory constrained", I always have 2 to 5 GB free memory, but once the firefox process is over 1,5 GB then trouble begins, at 2 GB it's about to crash, and over that it can sometimes survive as large as 2,5 GB, but I've never seen it use more -- it always crashes before reaching 3 GB.

> If you built an android that had every if-statement imaginable coded into it so that it behaved exactly like a human

Except this robot is inconceivable, because it would exceed the size of the universe. The conscious android becomes conceivable when you say its on the human scale and yet still exhibits the same behaviours.

> Another issue is the purposelessness of consciousness. Why does there have to be experience tied to our reactions to stimuli, if the resulting behaviors are identical. Isn't there quite a bit of wasted energy and skull space that could be better used for more survival oriented if-statements. All of our behavior seems possible without the associated feelings.

This theory does explain the purpose of consciousness and qualia, as this poster explains:

I've been using vim inside of VS for a while (ViEmu and VsVim) as well as in Emacs (Evil) and straight vim for light editing. Of course typing a word out will be faster with autocomplete - it's less keystrokes. Where I find speed is navigating around lines, changing/deleting stuff (like changing inside parens or a string, deleting multiple lines, etc). It's small stuff that really adds up.

The real killer is quick macros. If I have to transform a bunch of lines, it's just a "qa<work>q" and a "@a" away. It's pretty amazing.

At first vim doesn't seem that great, but after using it for a while it's indispensable. Somewhere along the line you go from having to think about all the strange keystrokes to just getting a feel for it. Doesn't hurt that it makes you feel like a wizard, too.

Comparing with Emacs is a hands-down win - having to press Ctrl Alt whatever just to move around is silly. Emacs+Evil is sweet though. Comparing with VS's editor (Windows style, with Ctrl+Arrows for things) is also a huge win. Windows editing just isn't amazing.

VSCode's lack of full vim support is very disappointing.
This needs much improvement also given the lack of backward compatibility in the styles' XML of the current VS 2015, essentially forcibly deprecating studiostyl.es...

No, seriously now. I've been a vi/vim user for a decade or so, but it only "stuck" when I realized that the single key commands are verbs and that the right way to use it is to experiment less and plan ahead more.

I'm tremendously productive with it when I already know what I have to do in batches (refactor blocks, rename multiple variables, etc.) rather than just hunting and pecking at things with a mouse.

That said, I only use two editors these days: vim and VSCode (without any sort of vim bindings, which I've not yet investigated fully). The former for quick dips into existing code bases where I already know what I'll be doing, and the latter for new projects.

Plus, of course vim is essential if you ever want to be productive (or even borderline effective) on a server environment. I'd stick with it if I were you.

If you assume we'll have robotics, then this whole question is simplified - they'll probably have some easy way to lookup standard iconography of this era.

This question is hard because you can't assume we'll be a technologically advanced society; for all we know, we'll be living with stone age technology.
This is true. I live on the other side of the river from Maryland and well outside the Beltway. The parts of the suburbs that are configured for cycling-as-transport get used year-round.

The only problem is the parts that are cycle-friendly aren't consistent. So, some neighborhoods are linked to commercial areas and others are not. I can easily ride the 11 miles to work without getting on any non-residential streets. But, there are areas 3 miles away that would require driving because of busy roads.
Have you looked at lisp500 ?
> I mean, you don't just process external stimuli, combine them with an internal state, and generate output signals, like a program would – you can actually "feel" things and see them with "your inner eye"?

You're assuming the conclusion that consciousness isn't just processing external stimuli with internal state to generate output signals, just a particular form of it.

I think the problem of androids, sometimes referred to as zombies, is based on a fallacy because I don't think it's possible for non-conscious systems to exhibit the behaviours of conscious systems.

I do believe that the experience of consciousness is based in a model of consciousness in the brain. This also leads to our ability to form mental models of other beings, systems and processes which enable us to predict or form theories about their behaviour. It's this existence of a model of our mental world in the brain and our brain's interrogation and interaction with it that leads to concious experience. I don't know the details of how that works and I'm no Philosopher so maybe I'm over simplifying, but it seems to me that something along these lines is the most plausible theory.

Given this, the existence of such models in the processing system of a correspondent should be testable. You should be able to test the ability of the correspondent to form and generate models of itself, beings, processes and systems and interrogate and mutate those models. One example of such systems are games. My favourite ways to test a chat bot Turing Test style is to try and teach it a game or to introspect on itself and it's understanding and expectations of others. A correspondent that cannot form and process such models cannot be conscious, but if it can then if such models lead to consciousness, by definition it must be concious.
It's like "before time" technically time, like math, always existed, humans just quantified it.

The author justifies introduction of e10s using an example of inter-tab CPU contention. Yes, this is a real problem, I experience it using Firefox. But for that particular issue, a sufficient solution is multithreading.

As you wrote, separating each tab into a different process will bring security and stability benefits. But blog post author does not mention any of them. The only justification for e10s he brings up is CPU-UI blocking problem (which is not a justification for e10s at all, because it can be solved with multithreading).

And there is a reason why he doesn't mention security and stability benefits: They do not plan [1] (at least for now) separating each tab into a different process. All tabs will still share the same content process. This means that e10s would not bring any security and stability benefits you wrote about.

So one may ask: what's the point in introduction of e10s at all? I ask myself this question as well, not only regarding e10s, but also many other Mozilla decisions from last few years.

You can think of structural record types as being formed by applying a special type constructor to a type-level collection of types:

row Fields = [name: String, age: Int]
type Person = MkRecord Fields

Which have kinds:

MkRecord :: Row Type -> Type
Fields :: Row Type
Person :: Type

You can construct variant types in a similar way:

row Cases = [success: SyntaxTree, failure: ParseError]
type ParseResult = MkVariant Cases

Which have kinds:

MkVariant :: Row Type -> Type
Cases :: Row Type
ParseResult :: Type

Rows may contain things other than proper types, for example:

row Effects = [foo: State s, bar: Except e]
type Action = MkFunction Effects

Which have kind:

-- function types now take three arguments:
-- - row of effects
-- - argument type
-- - return type
MkFunction :: Row Effect -> Type -> Type -> Type
Effects :: Row Effect
Action :: Type -> Type -> Type

It's a learned skill. If you seriously want to learn it, just use it as your only editor for a while.

Its learning curve is a lot like git: It's overwhelming at first but you only need to know basic commands. Then once you understand how it works, you'll pick up on the rest faster and faster.

The real power of vim is the ability to do very quick "programmatic actions".

"Delete" -> "d". "Go to end of next block" -> "}". "Delete next block" -> "d}". "Delete next 3 blocks" -> "3d}". "Repeat that action five times" -> "5.".

Too many people are intimidated by vim's nature of being a command line editor, not a real IDE etc. But its power has nothing to do with that, it's really just the input style.
>there were frequently people way over the speed limit

I agree that this is bad, but we don't have to appeal to safety or illegality to oppose this kind of through traffic.

I think as a resident of the street it's reasonable to expect drivers to stick to the main roads and leave your neighborhood alone.

I'm a fairly tolerant person, but a car driving down a street causes many unpleasant side effects: noise and pollution being the major ones. It also inconveniences pedestrians[1], kids, cats and squirrels who want to cross the road.

How would you enjoy sitting on the porch of your home if there were suddenly a river of traffic on the street?

[1] It bugs me how in North America pedestrians are seen as inconveniencing a driver if they are crossing the road, but not the other way around. We have our priorities the wrong way around.
If your hashes are perfectly distributed, as in each bit having a 50% probability of being 1, independent of all other bits, then the low order bits will be just as random as the high order bits, no "making the impact less bad" required.

The Deep Work Habits of 28 Highly Productive Communicators
From what I've seen in the videos of students complaining about missing safe spaces, I wouldn't call it civilized. For Ivy League students, I found the discourse rather uneducated, one-sided, and free of tangible arguments. That said, what wouldn't bother me seems to be a huge discomfort for the complaining students, and they surely had a different upbringing than me for them to feel that way. I mean, I grew up in Western Europe and am likely unaware of some of the finer details in their cultural background.

2. Why is this surprising? At some point in time half of Iberian peninsula belonged to Punic Republic.

"Queen Elissa (Dido) along with some nobles to flee the city of Tyre westward in a fleet of ships carrying royal gold.[27][28] At Cyprus, four score temple maidens were taken aboard the ships.[29][30] Then her fleet continues on, landing in North Africa to found Carthage."
