You might enjoy the Matrix Logic series of books by August Stern, which develop the idea of logic operations as vector multiplication. The NOR operator would be represented by a 2x2 matrix, [10|00], and an operation such as 1 NOR 0 would be the matrix multiplication [01]x[10|00]x[10]^T. (Scalar operand 1 is represented by [01], and 0 by [10], in both left and right hand forms.) It's simple but deep, when fully extended. Treated as linear algebra, logic is a lot more sensible. There are surprises, too. For instance, a statement like [01]x[01|11]x[01|11]x[10] makes perfect sense: 1 OR OR 0. So what is OR OR? Is it useful? This wouldn't be obvious from the usual way of computing OR as addition mod 2, and the messiness of carrying the extra digit in 1 OR 1. Determining the truth value of statements by direct computation, without reference to an external truth table, gives mathematical certainty to the outcome. Multiple statements can be compounded with tensors, giving operators that are 2^n in dimension. Complementarity plays a huge role in showing coherence of the matrix system of logic. There's much more, but that's the general idea. I was reminded of Matrix Logic, because Stern shows a computation done strictly with NAND, plus NOT, to illustrate how many operations must be done, where using different operators would have been much more efficient.

My impression is that a lot of "mature" (aka boring old) companies like Angular 1 and the sound of Angular 2 over React.

For a number of reasons:

- In general Java and C# programmers like it.

- It is made by Google (perceived as more "mature", business like) rather than Facebook (young kids).

- It takes a lot of inspiration from server side development with its dependency injection and general terminology.

- And TypeScript is very similar to Java and C#.

(The list is a slight caricature but I hope the general point is clear.)
The takeaway of course is that most of those probably want to pick up Angular 2 because they used Angular.

I made a conscious switch from Angular to React because React (and the flux pattern) really did reinvent how web components are built and it's incredibly intuitive. I simply don't see the same innovation in Angular 2 apart from 'we made Angular more modern'
> it doesn't really matter if it never makes it to the spec

I does matter as there is difference between introducing type support in a language and introducing features that completely are non standard. Now imagine TC39 introduces a decorator syntax that is not compatible with Typescript's implementation ( it happened in the past with previous Typescript module syntax and the language had to break compatibility )

Angular 2 is completely based on the use of decorators to inject almost anything. Sometimes the decorator definition itself is bigger than the class using it.
Angular 2's own tutorial is a nice start: https://angular.io/docs/js/latest/tutorial/ .
I'm not arguing that people shouldn't learn SQL, I'm just saying that a lot of people who bemoan all ORMs should try using a really good one —like Django's— and see if all their complaints still ring true. Your examples, for example, might have been true a while ago but:

- Extra conditions on a join (eg a prefetch filter): https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/models/querysets/#...

- I'm not sure what you think you'd want explicit subqueries for, at least in a context that annotations, prefetch, etc don't already do. If it's that weird, just use `.extra(..)`

- Conditional aggregates: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/models/conditional...

- Not that you asked but also have a look at the new database functions stuff. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38017076/annotate-a-comma...

And it keeps getting better. The list of "ORMs are rubbish because I can't do X" is evaporating. Yeah there's probably some stuff that never comes up but you can still run raw SQL through the ORM.

When you consider the development time saved and performance improvements (caching, good query writing, etc) an ORM delivers, I personally think it's hard to argue against them.
Bayesian and frequentist approaches ultimately have a different notion of probability.

In the frequentist approach, a probability of 10% means that if you repeat an experiment many times, roughly 1 out of 10 times you will observe an event.

In Baysian statistics, a probability of 10% means that you are that certain about the event happening. So you would be willing to bet at 10 to 1 odds on the event happening.
There doesn't have to be any repetition of the experiment for the probability to make sense. And as you can hopefully see, there is always a prior, that is, your belief about the event before doing any experiments.

It matters if the person who wrote the babel plugin stops supporting it.

Cool hack, but the part about the cost of off-the-shelf solutions is wildly wrong - Blackmagic's HDMI capture solutions can be purchased for less than 145usd for pci-e and 200usd for usb3 and they have free drivers&sdk for linux.
The border agents are looking for you to slip up or provide a tell. Asking questions like that may sound silly, but that's the point. They want to try to catch people off guard with unexpected questions and see how they react. These agents are trained to read your reaction and body language. Your body language and voice levels can help reveal some truth or at least the fact that you're uncomfortable answering the question. And why would you be uncomfortable answering a question about whether your a terrorist or not?
What about HDMI DRM? Does it break it (illegal) or fail when it is used?
The current mood portrayed by Berlin in German media is very pro-Scotland. And the mood of Madrid, too.
In reality they likely already know this information about you, at least some level of a government agency does, and simply want a way to confront people about it. However when you cross the border I don't think most people are looking for a conversation on whatever beliefs they currently hold or may have held in the past.
Germany and many other EU countries (and also, by the way, most European citizens) want European integration to continue.

If an advanced, liberal, english speaking country like Scotland declares its wish to remain or join the EU, that could be seen as a welcome vote in favor of the European idea.

I think it is in Germany's (and Spain's) interest to woo Scotland and make it as easy as possible for them to remain in the EU or rejoin in a seamless fashion.
Nope.

I didn't vote leave, for a start.

The shouting down of dissenting opinions by either directly or indirectly labelling them as racist, rather than taking them seriously or even trying to understand them, is one of the factors that has lead to widespread disillusionment with both Westminster and the EU.

That's what I'm saying.
Is it technologically feasible to "3D print" (or "3D blow") scientific glassware?

Spry does not have these builtin either, they are all functions. In fact, even assignment is, which makes Spry even more minimal then Smalltalk in this sense.

I know Smalltalk VERY well, and Spry is trying to experiment. I think polymorphic functions can be just as powerful as a class based model, even more so, and still feel similar. But i need to write examples to show it.

Personally, I don't feel any social contract is violated if someone else gets for free music that I paid money for.

Furthermore, it seems neither do many of the artists - most of them make their music available for free through e.g. YouTube.

And even if such a social contract existed, I suspect I would feel more harmed by the inability to format-shift the music I bought, than by someone else listening to the music without paying.

It is rare for two passengers on an airplane to pay the same rate even for the same seat and service class. Does this violate any social contract in your opinion? Obviously, the money was not wall spent by one of them.
ECMAScript 2016: New Version of the JavaScript Language Released
It's popular because it uses all types of musical styles including rap, R&B, and brit pop to tell Hamilton's story. The cast is also racially diverse, the only character that has a cast member with the same race as he is King George, a minor character.

IMHO, it has resonated with people because it takes a stuffy topic and makes it more relatable to younger generations allowing them to see a bit of themselves in the founding of this country. It also goes against a prevailing thought that it's ok to "white-wash"(recast minority roles with white actors) but not the inverse. Also, the internet, this was the viral video that started it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNFf7nMIGnE

I'm saying that software engineering doesn't need to be simple, it needs to be solid. I think type safety is one of those features that makes a language more solid.
If a coin were flipped arbitrarily many times, and it landed on heads each time, and if we had no other information about the coin, a frequentist would say that the probability the coin lands on heads is one.

Now, you might protest and say, "But this is a fair coin that just happened to land on heads arbitrarily many times". But then you are relying on a prior definition of probability in order to justify your objection to the frequentist's claim, since presumably what you mean by "fair" is that the probability the coin lands on heads is 1/2.

"the likes of UKIP to become a seriously large party in the next parliament, not to mention civil unrest in various forms"

I think UKIP will sit back and let the next Conservative government fail to deliver on some key Leave promises - I think they'll be targeting the 2020 election on a "the Conservatives didn't deliver on what Leave promised but UKIP will" platform.

The next Conservative leader will probably offer Farage a peerage to try and neutralise him but I suspect he is far too clever to fall for such an obvious ploy.
> Scotland would have to join the Euro and Schengen

Theoretically, yes, Scotland has to join the Euro. The EU treaties as they stand today, however, would prevent that from happening any time soon. Scotland would need its own currency first, and then to join ERM2, and meet the conditions for several years, and so on. And, like Sweden, Scotland could choose to deliberately not join ERM2.

Schengen is more interesting, particularly the future potential situation in Ireland.

Actually, it already is a problem. According to this article, around 2,500 people have been assigned a personal number which differs from their birthdate. [1]

The last digit is just a checksum digit, so we're left with 3 digits per day. But that still would give some leeway for each day. The problem seems to be that some immigrants have been assigned a default birth date (Jan 1 and Jul 1) as their exact birth date is unknown.

Another issue which is not mentioned in the article is that we're only using two digits to encode the year (i.e. YYMMDD-XXXX), which causes problems now that many live to be 100+ years. Most banks and other places now requires you to enter a four digit year, even though that technically is incorrect. The correct way to annotate that someone is over a hundred years old is that the dash changes to a plus sign (i.e. YYMMDD+XXXX), although I've never seen that implemented anywhere.

I'm actually really surprised at the 67% male statistic. I guess all I have to go on is personal observation, but I have a very hard time believing the gender imbalance is that big.

On the other hand, I live in Beijing, and just looking around you'd be hard-pressed to believe that China as a whole has a gender imbalance – if anything, there seem to be more women than men. Perhaps the majority of men have remained in the countryside? Where they're spending their time on WeChat? I'd be very curious to see if anyone's done a population study of gender by region...
Thanks, fixed. It understand that it is the limit, but the question I am asking is whether it is possible to always get heads, an infinite number of times. If this is possible, then it is not true that the relative frequency always approaches 0.5 as the number of repetitions goes to infinity. I understand that the probability of obtaining heads an infinite number of times is zero, but does that mean it is impossible? After all any specific infinite sequence of outcomes has probability zero.
I agree, I know several glass blowers in that community and they work is at times very complex and functional (if you are into those kind of things).

You've fallen victim to media spin. Farage did not claim this. In case you read the articles differently, Farage wasn't part of the "Leave campaign". He was part of the Leave.EU campaign. The media want to portray Farage as a hypocrite, so they write their articles to make it seem like he is. But understand the distinction between the two different campaigns, read the article carefully, and you'll see that the article doesn't actually say this.

The EU has problems with democratic accountability.

That we also have them at the UK level is irrelevant to me, we're not having a referendum on that (yet).

Your definition of xenophobic is so wide that it would cover the very existence of nation states within the EU. I don't think all that many people share it.
Indeed, to complete outcry, and I believe the post has been stripped of its powers since (though could be wrong). It certainly wouldn't fly 4 decades later.
Your parent poster said "that xenophobia/racism is now an "every day" thing."

People with pre-existing xenophobic/racist have found vindication & legitimisation with the referendum result.

Many papers today are carrying stories of attacks along these lines, I'm sure the rest will in the following days also.

"It's over. We are out. Accept it or feel free to move to a European country... I don't mind."

The back-pedalling has only just begun. People voted leave for a lot of reasons, and they will have their displeasure at progress heard to differing degrees.

I'd suggest you give it a little while before you take it as read that any side won for the cause they voted for.
Yep. (if there are schema, changes too, zero downtime & backward compatability is difficult to pull off, but thats a chore for any strategy )

Isn't this kind of misleading? The end result of the Beta distribution, etc. is just the extremely simple-to-compute Rule of Succession [1].

Didnt say DARPA was an intelligence front although it funds things for use by DOD mainly. NRL funded Tor for use by US military. State and CIA have numerous front organizations whose goal is to push propaganda into foreign countries to destabilize regimes. I see a notorious one on the page you listed: Radio Free Asia. Look up its backstory. They could've just wrote CIA-funded but tgen it was put under another propaganda organization claiming no CIA ties.

Given those propaganda groups and CIA affiliates are majority of its funding, it's strange to worry about a CIA person involved for project's "image." It's CIA & State funded for their use!

Far as supporting them, I totally agree and mentioned it in my main comment. Nothing wrong with taking money to do things of mutual benefit/interest.
"Yankee" or simply "Yank" is a synechdoche that the British use for people from the US.

Tell a 6th generation Georgian whose family farm was destroyed by Sherman's March to the Sea that he's a "Yankee" and see what response you'll get.

And your 'suit not cowboy boots' comparison doesn't even make sense. In the parts of the US where cowboy boots are popular in rural areas, they are also popular in urban areas. Visit Dallas and see that dress cowboy boots go just fine with a suit. Governors and legislators, President Bush and innumerable wedding party members, have all paired cowboy boots and suits.
BTW Windows got it thanks to Dave Cutler whom they poached from VMS. VMS, I hear, head and shoulders above everyone in concurrent I/O at that time. Concurrency story on the unix side has always been weaker in comparison. That's bit of a shame because the _logical_ virtual machine that C targeted, the PDP, had instruction level support for coroutines.

BTW you don't really need kernel support for concurrency although it helps a great deal if you have. One way to do it would be to compile coroutines to an eventloop runtime and break read and writes into smaller concurrent chunks.
If it falls apart it will be because of its internal divisions, not because of external punishment. Actually, punishment often strengthens the bonds among the punished especially if it's deemed to be unjust. And a feeling of injustice could drive other countries to dislike the Union even more. It's a double edged sword that I wouldn't wield.

The five-sigma threshold is a limit for making big public announcements, or claiming definitive discrete discoveries (like new particles) that non-particle physicists can take for granted. But there's lots of intermediate work done at accelerators that can't reach that threshold but still informs further work, and even influences the construction and design of the next multi-billion dollar machines. The bi-annual Review of Particle Physics is as thick as a phone book and filled with (usually) 95%-confidence intervals for measured values.
