> so many frameworks have benchmark charts on their own site which indicate they're all faster than everything else

Whenever I see something like that, I usually lose interest. I don't want to see benchmarks, I want to see what it brings to the table.

Bad:

- ours is X times smaller compared to Y

- ours has the full package compared to X

- you don't have to worry about doing X. You would, if you were using Y

- ours is faster than X (some graph where they're winning)

- rant on X

Good:

- we took this approach

- we enforce X as it helped us achieve Y

- we took features we liked from X, Y, Z...and came up with this
The papers there start from 2014 and continue up to the present.
Nature of the web, really. As a website, you control the content you send out to the user, but that's where it ends. If the client rewrites the content as per the user's needs or wants, that's out of the site owner's control (unless you want an arms race, of course, in which case it's pretty much lost by default for site owners vs all users on the planet)

> Smolin's basic complaint is that there is no experimental evidence for string theory.

The issue wasn't that there was no evidence but that there weren't any predictions that would be testable in our lifetimes.

Superstring theory did make a testable prediction though: Supersymmetry. But the LHC didn't find any evidence. [1]

It seems like you could set up a webhook to trigger a Travis CI rebuild upon a new star event [0] . I'm pretty iffy on this, any ideas?. You probably need some third-party service to trigger the rebuild [1]. Obviously running your own server would make this much easier. https://github.com/no13bus/ohmyrepo is one such example. From there it would be straightforward to generate and deploy the new README.md from Travis CI [2].

> And calling philosophy navel-gazing is navel-gazing.

It is, and as I said sometimes doing that is _good_ despite the derogatory connotations of calling it as such.

There's a point I'm trying to make which is not coming across, and I'm not sure I'll be able to.
It isn't pedantic. You asked about arithmetic of nominal numbers, which makes no sense at all.

> "I don't care what the precise results of arithmetic are."

This is wrong! That is NOT what "nominal numbers" are!

I already quoted it, "nominal numbers" have no value!

You are absolutely right though: This conversation has lead nowhere. I'm not sure your identification of who is to blame is correct though.

You asked about nominal numbers, and when asked for details your examples all are about actual numbers. When I point that out your reaction is to be offended. How mature.

You can't talk about "nominal numbers" and then be miffed that people don't understand that you are not actually talking about nominal numbers at all! I only come to understand that now. Tip: Don't talk about water when you mean sand, and then act confused when someone brings you water instead of sand.

I would argue that parse tree matching is useful to end users (programmers) who are trying to extract some meaning from a sentence. By matching a parse tree, you can match and extract the contextual information about a sentence, e.g. the subject, action and object. Compare this to the intent matching machine learning approach where you feed a model some sample sentences and manually tag the sentences (e.g. wit.ai). You feed a sentence to this black box and you might get the right intent and context matching but you don't know what's going on and you have no control over the matching. Manually create rules for matching parse trees is a little more work than manually tagging sentences but it allows for more control and transparency over how the matching is done.

> This policy would prevent all of those things. That doesn't mean we still won't see CNNIC and Blue Coat/Symantec and other untrustworthy certificates loaded up by default in all Android devices (which you can still disable yourself), but I think overall this is still a good move from Google.

I'm ok with this. Even if I can't add a custom root certificate, I would like the ability to distrust any root certificate I explicitly do not like. That coupled with standardization of certificates loaded by default makes this sound like a welcome change.
There are no mountains comparable to the Sierras within 3.5 hours drive of anywhere on the Eastern seaboard.

The Coast Ranges -- to which eastern seaboard mountain ranges might be loosely comparable -- are a lot closer to SV than 3.5 hours.

Now, if you are concerned about skiing, the limiting factor for SV is access to snow, not access to mountains.
Note that the fact that this can be easily accomplished in VW doesn't really take away from the message the authors are trying to make; namely, simple models done carefully are nearly as (or more) effective in these sorts of problems as fancy deep models, but much cheaper to train and test.
Opposite for me. I grew up in rural England surrounded by flowers and forests. Never had a hint of allergies. Lived in Germany on the edge of the Black Forest for ten years... no problems.

Moved to New England and I had no idea what is wrong with me. It took me three years to figure out it was tree pollen and not a spring cold... haha

In California now so we will see how it goes.
Link to the blog post explaining the table:
http://www.stefankrause.net/wp/?p=301

I've worked on a few apps that feature large tables like this benchmark does. With Angular for example, it's a really bad idea for performance to create DOM elements for each table row when most aren't even visible which I think is done in the benchmark:
https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark/blob/mast...

There's lots of grid/table libraries available that use what's called virtualisation to stop lots of rows slowing the app down; rows that aren't on the screen aren't computed or rendered.

My feeling is if you avoid rendering data excessively in this way the performance differences between most frameworks aren't that important. If you're required to display 1000s of dynamic values at a time your UI probably needs work.

First, I can't possibly answer the question you asked, because you asked for the opinion of someone else. Second, if you had read into the second paragraph of the link, you would see that the EmDrive is not institutionally sponsored nor developed by NASA. Third, offering analogous evidence is not the same thing as changing the question.

EmDrive has not been "sponsored" by NASA. The researches at their Eagleworks labs built a prototype and tested it, but that's not quite the same thing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the multiverse different than the many-worlds interpretation of QM? The multiverse talks about multiple big bangs and universes as bubbles.
I see, it makes sense now, thank you for very clear explanation.
I've yet to encounter any place that had a good way of measuring angry of those things and attributing them accurately to individual developers. On the easier measures, you might be able to reliably attribute them to particular dev teams, but that's pretty much the limit.
If it gets flagged, it loses the "reply" link.
I personally think pilot-wave theory is about to make a serious comeback in this coming decade. It certainly explains the exact same phenomena but it doesn't resort to any spooky stuff except action-at-a-distance. I'd rather embrace nonlocality than the crazy many-worlds stuff. We are just used to locality, why does it have to be an axiom? Seems like it could just as well be a result of the law of large numbers, same as any other macro effects in QM. That is, there is just a very high correlation that results in locality. Same as not being able to pass through a wall, or schrodinger's cat not appearing in the macro world.
Neither of those. But thanks anyway!

I seem to recall the blog post being by a guy who moved to Tupelo or some place like that. This was about 5-6 years ago.

This is a thing. Yoga and meditation work -- and they work quite well. The science is young, but the research shows definitive results.

Some of these results include:
1. Increased size and activity in the areas of the brain responsible for attention and emotion regulation, higher order cognition, interoception, and memory extinction
2. Decreased activity in areas of the brain areas responsible for mind-wandering, memory retrieval, and emotional reactivity
3. Increased telomere size and a younger looking brain. One researcher from UCLA (Dr. Luders) used an AI program to guess the age based on MRIs of different brains. Meditators were significantly younger.
4. People who meditate regularly require less sleep.

This is just a small slice of example research. Most of the research is based on meditation. In my opinion, meditation is a tremendous part of Yoga, although not necessarily what we see in the Western World. Also, its important to note that there are many different ways to meditate and branches of Yoga. Each of these require different studies to understand the impact.

one of the reasons i tried sf for a year (couldn't take the commute though so moved back to peninsula). is your username relevant to your experience? SF was decent dating scene using tinder/okc, date every week. much better than peninsula for online daters.
The rave scene in SF was pretty good for a while. Then the club scene hit, followed by dotcom implosion, and the good times never really recovered. There were some dope dnb/jungle scenes that went down in small clubs/bars, but the large club scene in SF is not great.
> but certainly not in the sense of providing a positive result or foundation for one

I don't think philosophy strives to provide positive results. That is left to science. But philosophical ideas can help direct science, and that is a great contribution.

> post Frege philosophy

Post Frege? Even if you only value analytic philosophers, and mostly for their contributions to mathematical logic, I think you should at least acknowledge Russel, Kripke, Putnam and possibly others, if only for their immense contributions to computer science.
Haha, I felt smart for a second because I got the "non-trivial" example immediately, but then realized my browser history for the past month consists of research on convex vs non-convex optimization problems, so I feel I had a bit of an unfair advantage there.
If I choose to add my phone number and yours, who's going to stop me? Would the universe explode? Would my phone number not be nominal anymore? It's a sort of "if a tree falls in the forest" question. Regardless of whether you're right or wrong (I just read the wikipedia page and didn't see anything about arithmetic, but maybe you have a phd in math), the essence of pedantry is to continue to insist I used the wrong word even after you understand what I meant.

Okay, but you have to remember that 95% of the internet isn't a single page app. Most websites are still just simple brochure sites that don't need that kind of complexity, but with IE, even those sites would have problems. If you're primarily working on SPAs, I could see how you might be a bit miffed at some of those behaviors, but can you really point to a list of four bugs (that are fixed now) and say it's as bad as IE6 was?
Sorry if I gve the impression I was prpoposing something new. I was trying to explain, in concrete terms, to a someone who is "not an operating systems person" what existing OSes do.

The self-pipe trick just shows that what most applications need is an event polling mechanism, not a preemptive callback. As for signalfd, I'd say that is exactly the kind of interface nemaar wants INSTEAD of traditional signals.
That happened just once, though (as far as I know). "Natural philosophy" was a catch-all term for anything that involved the study of nature, before everything was formalized into categories such as physics and biology, and we decided "science" was a better, snappier term for it.

The word "scientist" was only invented in 1834. The scientist who coined it, William Whewell, also thought up "phycisist" and a whole bunch of other modern terms. [1] Interestingly enough, "naturalist" still survives as a legit term, as does "natural history".

> Uhmm, he’s working on quantum gravity too. Just a different approach. The same applies to loop quantum gravity.

String theory isn't a quantum theory of gravity in the same way that loop quantum gravity (LQG) is, LQG is background independent. String theory assumes there is a flat background spacetime already present and perturbatively builds off of that. LQG doesn't make this assumption and tries to create spacetime from scratch.

LQG did make some testable predictions, as has string theory in recent years. One was regarding the smallest units of area and volume that might have been seen in light scattering in cosmic ray or gamma-ray burst experiments[1]. Another suggesting evaporating black holes could be used to probe LQG [2]. String theory proposed supersymmetry, where each fundamental particle had a supersymmetric partner. Electron => selectron, quark => squark, etc. But none of these proposals have panned out as yet. Thus far supersymmetry has not been found and LQG has not been able to recover general relativity in a classical limit.

> The many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is just that, an interpretation. It doesn’t make any measurable difference from any other interpretation.

In the last couple years, many-worlds researchers have come up with some potentially measurable consequences [3].

I don't follow PUA stuff and had to look up sigma. For anyone else: It's a term for the cool outsider/loner who gets the chicks.
I understand p2p without routers to be a star topology network where every device is connected to the other without any need for indirection.

FPGAs are a bit piggy on power consumption historically given they've mostly been used for smaller shop engineers prototyping and validating designs from an HDL without needing to use a fab and have not been used in datacenter use cases often. But I'd expect newer FPGAs should be able to turn off power to unused LUTs instead of forcing everything to stay powered on.

Using FPGAs that are massively oversized for the logic they implement makes little sense anyway even if you have a super high pipeline stage count.
However, saying 'there is x amount of unobservable stuff there' in order to make our calculations correct seems like lazy science.

"Dark matter" and "dark energy" don't refer to unobservable things, just to things whose existence we suspect but which we have not yet been able to observe. The planet Neptune was once in that category, as was the neutrino, and both of them were predicted "backwards" from a discrepancy between theory and observation (the observed orbit of Uranus didn't match what theory predicted, and it turned out the gravity of as-yet-unobserved Neptune was the cause; beta decay appeared to violate conservation laws, and it turned out the as-yet-undetected neutrino accounted for the "missing" energy and angular momentum).

I'll be honest in saying that dating doesnt work for me in the states anymore.

I'm american but I've been spoiled by europe. Both personality-wise and looks-wise, northern european countries have just been so much better for me.

As I work remotely, I travel back and fourth on a whim. I've stayed for months in various big american and canadian cities. Every stint has been pretty lonely :/

This is all dating via okcupid and later tinder when it became available. I didn't meet women through network so that isn't it.

Maybe the peninsula is worse, but it's all about what you compare it to. It's also true that dating taste is pretty personal, although I think people make too big of point about that. Most people agree on what is attractive but not to what degree.

Where I work client auth is used for a good (and growing) number of internal services.

Client auth is simple to use - our internal services are given the username from the CN, which they use to perform authorization checks. For a lot of simple internal services that don't require two-factor auth it works great.

Am I missing something better?

(We already have the infrastructure in place to deal with client keys)
I guess I wonder who this is valuable for? If you're not using a framework, I guess it's ok, but if you're using react or angular (or probably anything else really), you're already likely binding your data to reflect styles in the html, so it isn't valuable to add that here.

If you're doing straight javascript, this might help you from doing a whole lot of `el.className = ...` but it seems like this is trying to do a whole lot more than that.

I guess I'd like to have seen a use case rather than so much documentation.

In fact, I think the amount of documentation and different ways of using CjsSS may be the most troubling part. I don't want to 'learn' a new library, it should be self-explanatory with a few good examples.

How long did it take to pick-up jQuery's dom query syntax? You didn't need all the documentation, mostly just '.' for class, '#' for id. Sure, it was more complicated than that, but all the complexity didn't need to be taught from the start, you could do a ton with very little exposure.
What surprises me is that last-mile and local transportation of non-living cargo hasn't gotten more attention. I can't wait to get cheap delivery from practically anywhere in town and nearly on demand.
I have a question related to this which nobody has really touched on yet.

Imagine you have a json structure like this:

{"records" : [
{"name":"joe",
...lots of other fields in each record},
{"name":"fred",
...lots of other fields},
... thousands of records
]}

Now a lot of people in this thread have mentioned tools for collapsing the json, but the trouble I have with this is that you can't browse the record names without opening each one and looking at all the fields. It would be nice if there was a tool that took a few key identifiers (name, id) and "bubbled them up" so that in a collapsed view you would see something like:

{"records":[
{...click to expand...}, // name=joe
{...click to expand...}, // name=fred
]}

I have the same problem when working with XML as well (though in XML sometimes the ID's are attributes of the parent which mitigates the problem, but other times the ID would be nested in a child element of the structure more like you would have in json). I even found it to be enough of a problem that I wrote my own XML editor to solve this issue.

Of course one issue with this is that there's so clear standard as to which fields of an object represent "ID" information which would be important/useful to "bubble up" to the next level when collapsing. It would have to be something user-configurable (though having some sensible defaults like looking for "name" and "id" keys would work in a lot of cases). In the XML world, there's probably something to do with Schemas that would help with this problem, and fancy editors which understand your data using a schema, though some of the editors I looked at which went into that level of detail seemed like way overkill for what i wanted to do.

So essentially my question here is whether this concept of "collapse child, but keep important identifying information of the collapsed child visible" exists in any json tools? is this a thing that has a name/buzzword associated with it that I don't know about? or is it purely an issue that's my own personal quirk which nobody else cares about?
Why thank you, sir.
Again: Nominal numbers have no values. So what "arithmetic" do you want to do? There is no overflow. Because there is no arithmetic with nominal numbers.

The examples you quoted above are NOT using nominal numbers. Those are ACTUAL numbers. Those are modulo operations - that is NOT "nominal numbers".

Personal attacks won't help, they never do in any discussion. You should seriously consider changing your discussion style.

If your question was about modular arithmetic, it confuses two different issues. It would be just a coincidence if the highest number representable with the given amount of bits happens to be the same number you want for your modulo operations. Those are only accidentally related issues.
As an aside: I had a really positive experience buying with Redfin in the Denver metro. Their agents were as helpful as any I've ever worked with, they have good online tools, and we got roughly $5k back from the buyer's 3% commission when we closed.

I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a house in a metro that they service.

Sure, and in tuning my game I've tried to work out ways of accounting for this. My point is basically that JS performance data with really small error ranges makes me suspicious about whether the data is meaningful or not.
Actually, it was institutionally sponsored, because the very work to peer review it was done by labs directly sponsored by NASA.

If the initial work were not peer reviewed, you would not be holding it up as an example of something successful.

Therefore, it's NASA's sponsorship of the peer review which is a necessary and direct cause of you calling it successful here.

So my initial assessment of what you said stands. You're saying the physics community is receptive because NASA sponsored an attempts to verify it. That proves nothing about the receptivity of the physics community nor of even NASA. But I don't expect this to be something you can easily agree with. After all, you're proving my point.
See, this is what I never got...if the seller pays the buying agent's fee, isn't that agent in fact working for the seller by the very definition of how they are getting paid? How could they ever be operating in the interest of the buyer?
