It's sad that neither the Independent, nor the HN posters who have posted this 3 times, bothered to do any basic fact checking. Neither of these 2 guys are even real scientists.

(And yes I know it's certainly possible for someone who doesn't have a phd to come up with something novel and intellectually sound. However you do need to do some basic sanity checking to make sure it's not complete BS, which is what this appears to be).

I'm a mostly Python / occasionally Ruby web developer.

There isn't much you're missing. About the only use-case I can think of where Ruby has a clear advantage is in creating a DSL.

Other than that, there are differences in what already exists in the two ecosystems, but (at least for web development) generally there are equivalents available (eg. Nokogiri vs. BeautifulSoup). The Rails and Django frameworks are roughly comparable, for example, with Rails being more 'magical' vs. Django being more explicit. Which one is better for you may just come down to your personal tastes.

Now, outside of web development, Python has a clear advantage in areas such as scientific computing, game development, machine learning, and many other areas in which Ruby doesn't really have much of a presence. This isn't due to any inherent quality of the two languages, just historical contingency, as Ruby's emergence from obscurity was a result of Rails taking off, whereas Python grew a large and eclectic user community (of which web development was a small part) more slowly, but starting years earlier.
The music is, on a decibel level, actually not that loud. The issue is that it permeates into my apartment (especially the vocals) and I can't block it out.
Aiming a 1km dish is not going to be easy not to mention station keeping. Also, while it's clearly producing a lot of heat and may even vaporize iron that's not the goal. Further without Gravity many approaches for refining materials don't work as heating a chunk may just eject it into space.

Alternatively if you look at it as a large and relatively cheap tool it may be useful as a relatively small part of the process.
IANAL, but I don't believe that's possible. The clock started ticking when they brought the original charges, and I don't think they can stop it now just because possible evidence may come out later.
What would you say is the distinguishing feature of whether something "is a graph database"?

I'm not a fan of the term "real food" that Greenpeace uses. Your body can get nutrition from anything in a compatible form. It doesn't matter if it's been engineered, crawls on tree back, created in a science kit - if it's compatible, your body will absorb it.

> “The only guaranteed solution to fix malnutrition is a diverse healthy diet. Providing people with real food based on ecological agriculture not only addresses malnutrition, but is also a scaleable solution to adapt to climate change.
Because, just like an airplane's autopilot feature requires an attentive pilot, this driver assistance feature requires an attentive driver.
My first computer was an Amstrad 8256, also known as the Joyce. It ran a custom word processing program straight on the metal, but also came with CP/M. I used it for Protext, later added a 3 1/2 floppy and a serial interface so I could connect to bbs's, and got a 16 bit dot matrix printer. I still kind of like CLI, you feel in more direct control of the computer.

So you found a couple of games which I was the 1st to actually mention...

I really don't understand the slightest basis for your arguments.

Let's make it easy:

How many AAA titles (AAA in the industry is defined as games with budget of 50M$ or higher) are released each year? Out of those AAA titles how many games are released on Linux each year?

Out of the 3 big publishers (Ubisoft, EA, Activision) how many Linux titles come out each year? I've been the 1st to call 2K out so I'll give you them even still only a small portion of their games actually see the light of day on Linux

Out of the indie game titles what percentage comes out to Linux (hint much lower than you think)?

With games that come out on Linux and Windows which would perform better under the same hardware (A simple review of the requirements of both Linux and Windows game on Steam would hit to that)?

Also how comes that a partially closed source OS (SteamOS is not FOSS) that relies on a closed source platform (Steam) with DRM on top is somehow a champion of gaming on Linux?
Give me a break... when games would start coming out to Linux with true multi-platform support let me know.

Until then I'll still use WINE which unlike you I had no troubles using even in 2006-2007, sure nothing worked perfectly but hey it doesn't work perfectly now either.

You can spin this all you want but let's face the truth gaming on Linux isn't "better than it's ever been" it's pretty much the same as it was because the ~2000 or so titles on a closed source platform like steam is still a drop in the bloody ocean, and it's really not how one would want to do gaming on Linux.
If you are going to champion closed source and DRM then what do we even need an open OS to begin with? SteamOS is a black box running on top of Linux it's not any more open or free than some high end appliance you buy that uses some GPL software.
Heck the PS4 and XboxOne probably run some GPL also.
> They can also afford cars with stronger danger features, like turbochargers.

Which makes it a better comparison to Teslas, really.

"Tesla Says" would be more accurate, since Tesla was the one to officially report it first via their blog and they also notified the US Highway department so they can do an independent investigation.
I bet they were on the fence about it and decided let's just do it.
Apples all the way. Etcd is pretty much a clone of ZooKeeper in Go; they both support hiearchical keys, atomic autoincrement, watches, though Etcd uses the Raft consensus algorithm, whereas ZooKeeper uses its own homegrown algorithm, and there are other minor differences. Both are intended for configuration management and coordination. (Of course, both are ultimately clones of Google's internal tool, Chubby.)
That saving of $150 is equivalent to one hour of pro dev work time. It's hardly worth converting unless Elxir / Phoenix is much more productive and maintainable.
So-called “leaky gut syndrome” is legit, and likely plays a role in food allergies, type-1 diabetes, Celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome and other digestion-related maladies, Fasano says. But at the same time, he says the term “leaky gut” has for decades been “used and abused” by some alternative medicine practitioners who—without scientific evidence—cited it as the cause of everything from autism to cancer.

As a result, “the scientific community vilified the idea of leaky gut,” Fasano says. Despite the growing body of evidence, many medical practitioners are still coming to grips with the fact that leaky gut is a legitimate contributor to some ailments.

The science is constantly evolving: http://time.com/4178015/leaky-gut-syndrome-probiotics/

Pretty much is, I have all of the big titles with Linux support on Steam in my library.

Also how come you don't run windows but somehow have no problem with a closed source OS (SteamOS) and a closed source platform (Steam) with always on DRM taking over gaming on Linux?

Wanna support gaming on Linux at least support GoG supporting steam is like shooting yourself in the foot...

P.S. of that list you big titles you've mentioned how many of them have "AMD and Intel cards are NOT supported." in their system requirements for Linux? ;)
Tekserve, Precursor to the Apple Store, to Close After 29 Years
Nobody who works on safety-critical systems is an idiot incapable of imagining or caring about the consequences of their errors.

Your ignorant, fact-free fear-mongering is antithetical to saving lives.

1. An immense number of lives are being "carelessly sacrificed" right now, and will continue to be sacrificed every day until something comes along to fix the fundamental problem: People are terrible drivers.
2. Tesla's system did not override control of the vehicle. It was not presented as being safe or ready to operate without oversight. The law does not allow for it to be treated as such. The driver failed to hit the brakes despite being told by the car -- and by legal obligation -- that it was his responsibility to hit the brakes.
3. Tesla's system has proven to be safer than the average, unassisted driver, to date.

If the proportion of accidents involving Tesla's autopilot remained constant when scaling up to more drivers and more miles, then it would be a net win in terms of lives saved to deploy it widely right now.

Obviously though, nobody -- including Tesla -- expects that to be the case, or they'd have been touting this as something every driver should have RIGHT NOW.

Tesla is doing their public beta precisely because it's impossible to design a safety-critical system with perfect foresight. More information is needed to help them build a robust system and the public beta has proven to be an uncommonly safe and effective way to get that information.

If you think my rhetoric is inflammatory it's because you're blind to the logical consequences -- the human cost -- of what you advocate for.
The only source of revenue for government operations should be tax revenue, voted on by taxpayers. Anything else should redistributed back to the taxpayers as a credit. Same thing with civil asset forfeiture: The government needs to be held to a high standard in collecting revenue, so there isn't even an appearance of being selfish.

I've lived in a few areas, and the 'black part of town' is always some rundown ghetto compared to the rest. They talk differently, and can talk back more aggressively than the others. It's the only race that seems have its own unintegrated subculture: Someone who's Asian, Jewish, or Mexican after 1 or 2 generations might have distinct friends in a friend graph, but if you meet them on the street they're just another person. Even visiting foreigners stand out less than black people in the United States.

If I were a police officer interested in fining people, I'd head to the rundown parts of the city where the "broken window theory" says more crimes will be committed. And there seems to be more black people there. So I'd probably end up fining more black people than not.

My guess is that whatever gives black people a 'black accent' or voice is also what's responsible for the fining and bad subculture. That is, a black person who cannot be easily distinguished over the telephone would be statistically similar to the population as a whole. In particular, they wouldn't be fined as much.

I would also guess that black children adopted by middle-class white families don't have this problem.
Studies of health and activity have started to use accelerometers over the past decade. This has shown that even very modest levels of activity - on the order of washing dishes and puttering around the garden - have a meaningful correlation with health. This is causing something of a rethinking of the lower end of the dose-response curve for exercise.

So when looking at the correlations between retirement and health, I'm inclined to think that physical activity level has a lot to do with it.
What I was trying to express is that there are few sites catering to the Dart community relative to the number of sites catering to Nodejs users. My impression is that the Dart community is more closely knit than that of Nodejs.

Perhaps supporting Dart is something that can differentiate Sourcevoid among many somewhat similar sites?
I have to fight the hipster in me too, but Serial is an example of something that is deservedly popular. It was very entertaining, yes, but very informative. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about criminal justice.

> Exactly what standard do you hold beta features before release?

With stuff that could easily kill you? If it were a drug, there'd be an ethical review and progressively larger trials in carefully selected groups of people receiving informed consent. Something like that might be more appropriate than "your car just updated! enjoy!" beta software.

Concurrency aside, why is Elixir preferred over Ruby when it doesn't even have a native array implementation? No, lists and tuples are no substitute nor are maps with numeric keys as Jose has suggested. If you want an array in Elixir your only option is Erlang's implementation which ain't pretty - http://erlang.org/doc/man/array.html. When I raised this issue in the mailing list and on IRC the response was invariably a definsive "I've never needed arrays", "We use tuples for most things in Elixir" or "Array performance characteristics are difficult to optimise in a functional language such as Elixir". I just find this disappointing.

Note that these are from 2005, and both the stations pictured have had quite major renovations since then - Shinjuku has a big new southern annex that would be in the bottom right of this picture, and Shibuya had a platform ripped out of the SE side and moved underground.
A graph database exposes an object model that fits graph terminology: nodes and edges. They (hopefully) are optimized for graph-traversal operations like hopping along a series of edges, which would be painful in a relational model.

In this situation, NoSQL is the marketing term, while a graph database is a clear concept with corresponding performance and capability expectations.

How come that Windows is bad and evil but somehow a close source platform (which constantly abuses its monopoly go listen to what devs and small publishers have to say about Steam) that runs on top of Linux with always on DRM is acceptable by the free folk?

P.S.
How come Steam titles system requirements for Linux so often come with a warning "AMD and Intel cards are NOT supported."?

> It's unrealistic to assume that human drivers are attentive all the time...

Yes, this is an unfortunate fact of life that human beings are no angels.

However, most modern societies agree that reckless drivers are to be held accountable for their less than perfect behavior. If a police officer (or more recently, surveillance camera) catches you while DUI, or texting, or some other of the most blatant irresponsible behaviors, they will give you a big ticket. And if the consequences of your own idiocity happen to materialize you will suffer much sterner punishment (up to criminal charges for manslaughter, if it came down to that).

That's assuming the infractor does survive. It is a known fact that a non trivial amount of people responsible for accidents end up loosing their lives (or those of loved ones) in the very tragedies they caused themselves. Death is the ultimate judge, and a merciless one at that.

> You have to compare autopilot to realistic humans, not your platonic ideal of what a driver should be.

Why?

Neither the engineers who created those subpar systems - nor the executives who pushed for an unfeasible schedule, nor the shareholders that benefited from the whole deal, - will ever face the same consequences as described above. Corporations raison-d'etre is precisely to shield people engaging in economic activities from the unintended consequences of their actions; that's why they must be held to a higher standard than the everyman down the road.

Would you imagine Tesla's Board of Directors having approved the green light for this impressive-yet-still-limited technology, if the company was required to pay for every traffic ticket that every Model S accrued while being in autopilot mode, nationwide? What about being accountable for every accident, no disclaimer licensing or such nonsense?

> I'm sick and tired of people making statements about road transit predicated on the idea that real humans pay attention to the road with 100% fidelity at all times.

People will make statements about road transit, because it is literally a life-or-death situation. Maybe you do prefer the cattle to shut up and die quietly, so your utopic techno-fantasies are never challenged?
Sorry if seems a bit off-topic but I raised this issue because there have been a lot of posts about Rails devs switching to Elixir/Phoenix.

As they say in the article, I think many people approach retirement as a cessation.

From what I've seen of my own parents, I hope that retirement for me will be more a change of what I'm working on, and how I work, rather than whether or not I work.

I'm also trying to make those changes now - working on what I want to work on, at a reasonable pace, at the level and times I'm interested. I'd quite happily keep doing this forever.

It's a little frustrating that we reserve "living well and enjoying the fruits of your labor" for aged people - I'd rather enjoy it while I'm still relatively young and healthy, and mix it into my life rather than setting it aside as a separate thing.
My Dad rickrolled me with this gem earlier today.

It's the rhetorical equivalent of clickbait. First they assume a surprising proposition "We are warming our planet with greenhouse gases, and this changes everything" - from the Cato institute? Really? - and then tack on a strawman antecedent they can gleefully demolish: "We need drastic measures to dismantle industrial capitalism if we are to have any chance of surviving."

Interesting that Cato is subtly agreeing w/ human-caused climate change, though.
> auto-pilot feature

there is no such feature, there is a MobilEye _lane following_ system Tesla repackaged under Autopilot(TM) brand.

I had posted the same comment before I saw this one (I deleted mine).

I would assume that the higher-end GM cars do have an automatic braking collision avoidance system by now, since that's a pretty standard feature above a certain price point. And I would assume it's not foolproof either, but at least it doesn't lead the driver to think he can take his hands off the wheel and not pay attention to what's happening on the road.

I've just started learning Elixir out of interest so I can't quite answer your question. However, I'd like to ask: what have you found to be difficult to do using the Elixir types such as tuples, list, keyword lists, and maps that would otherwise be easy to do using arrays? I'm asking out of genuine curiosity because I've specifically noticed a lack of arrays when learning Elixir and I'm quite used to using them in other languages.
