Cleanliness had a different meaning over there. Everyone's house and place of business was very clean. Spotless. However, they would simply sweep up everything and put it out on the street. As long as it was not in there house, it was fine. Bizarre. Food wrappers everywhere. Empty bags of 100ml alcohol (Konyagi, etc) everywhere. I traveled by public means and the view of the roads did not leave of good impression. Do not get me wrong, I still had an amazing time. Even gorgeous Zanzibar had piles of garbage if you did not stay at a resort.

I spent very little time in Dar. It basically was the gateway to Zanzibar. Because of its reputation for crime and not wanting to be in cities but in nature, we only spent two nights there. As a music lover, I really wanted to visit places such as the ones described here: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/23/travel/where-tanzania-taps... I was there at the wrong time (Sunday nights) and the venues were far from my hotel. Would have loved to go if I knew someone.

I had better safaris elsewhere, but Ngorongoro itself is magical.
This is also similiar to Sneaker (https://github.com/codahale/sneaker), which is written in Go. It doesn't copy to other regions by default, but it's not hard to handle that on your own. This also uses KMS, but stores encrypted secrets in S3.

I had thought about that, but I am pretty sure the reason Hindley-Milner is exponential has to do with the generalization for let-polymorphism. I'm not familiar with all the details of Swift, but I do not recall seeing that it will infer polymorphic types for you.

That doesn't mean there isn't a good reason that Swift's inference is exponential – I just think HM's exponential time behavior is a red herring.

Nope. Lisp is about extending itself with new special forms and embedding DSLs into itself ( SETFs, LOOPs, DEFSTRUCTs, even whole CLOS, to name a few).

With macros one could introduce new special forms, which differs from mere high order procedures by having its own evaluation rule implemented as a macro. In particular some of its arguments could be left unevaluated before application, which gives one laziness and other nice things (for an ordinary procedure, according to the general evaluation rule, all the arguments will be evaluated in order before application of the procedure).

Lisp isn't about hipsters. It is about fundamentals of programming.

Here is a simple illustration:

True, the article spoke nothing of moral equivalence. Glancing at commentary here I felt it needed to be said. I also agree it's not completely binary, as beliefs are contrasted over a highly myriad of interpretations coming from ones understanding of their faith and how it fits into their world view. I feel however to say nothing or contribute only in a form of western apologia, well it is disingenuous and should be shameful. If only we could be honest about the realities we are facing in the west. Additionally, those who are in their communities aware of the kind of individuals harboring doctrinal adherence should be willing, I mean if they truly have secular and pluralistic values in mind, to speak outwardly against it. Yet, I fear that to do so is extremely costly (death/physical harm/reputation) and so it continues to proliferate. Unfortunately, even if the debate model of change were to work the current debate is out of focus. I still think that debate is of little use other than to get your 15 mins at this point and that it is more important to speak outward against bad ideas in an honest and non-threating manner.

Type inference for HM is actually exponential, due to generalization for let-polymorphism. You're probably thinking of inference for a language with just simple types.
Red is a new "full stack" language that is pretty nifty. Think of it as imperative, but still homoiconic like lisp (or Rebol). It comes with a complete binary interpreter that is less than a MB. It makes heavy use of DSL's. In fact, the language is written in a DSL called Red/System that is a native AOT compiled language similar to C, but with Red syntax. Red programs can use pre-compiled binaries from Red/System, use the interpreter for parts of the program without types, and a JIT for the parts where you declare types. All in all it is pretty awesome that it has a cross-compiler targeting Mac, Linux, Windows, Android, FreeBSD, and several other platforms.

Edit: It is still in the "beta"ish phase, but the team is making rapid progress. Although I don't think the systems language itself will replace C, you get one language that can in theory do everything well (web-pages, to AI, to embedded robots, to parsing [see the Parse dialect which is like regular expressions, but readable].
> So what are macros? All they are is read packaged up nicely into formal system.

Macroexpansion happens during a different phase altogether, and would work exactly the same even if programmers had no access to the reader at all. The reader transforms an unstructured character stream into structured data, while macroexpansion transforms already-structured data into different structured data. (Read-macros are another story, but it's clear they're not what the author had in mind.)

Too often these kinds of posts only add to the confusion they're attempting to clear up.

Tone Analysis – Fresh Machine Learning #3
Read VBA Project References, Modules and Module Attributes Information from MPP
Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Tasks for Java 9.4.0. The API can now read VBA project information such as references information, modules information and module attributes information. Since the Java API is auto-ported from its equivalent .NET version, the internal functionality of the API fixes a number of bugs that further improve the overall stability of the API. This month’s release provides the capability to read VBA project information from a Microsoft Project document. The API’s VbaProject class provides the interface for reading this information such as Name, Description, complication arguments and context Id. In order to read the references information from the document’s VBA project, the getReferences() method exposed by the VbaProject class can be used. It returns a collection of all the references contained in the VBA project that can be further traversed for information such as Name and Library identifiers. Module information from a VBA project of a document can be retrieved using the getModules() method of the VbaProject class. It returns a collection of modules contained in the VBA project.

According to Wikipedia: "The beginning of IBM’s involvement in IT services can be traced back at least to 1989 when Eastman Kodak Company and IBM completed an agreement by which IBM designed, built and managed a new state-of-the-art data center for Kodak in Rochester, New York under the brand name ISSC, Integrated Systems Solution Corporation."

Yeah. I have the most bizarre setup up. I have a 13.3" display (with about 165 DPI), so not retinal, but still relatively high resolution. Anything bigger than this seems to trigger my migraines. I'm really waiting for the day when I can get 30 fps on an e-ink display. Something about staring into the light seems to be a problem. But low contrast is also a huge problem. So I usually have my backlight set at around 10% (!!) and my colour themes are set so that you would think that I subscribe to the clown school of programming. Everything is done in a 16 colour console with a 25 point font. You have no idea how many hours I've spent comparing the contrast ratios of various 16 colour schemes. All I can say is that it's a good thing that I come from a time where 80x25 column terminals were state of the art ;-)

I'm considering moving to very large wall mounted TV and sitting far enough away so that the display angle of the screen is about the same as my 13.3" laptop. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to wall mount a TV in my current apartment, so it may have to wait until I buy a house (I bet the e-ink display comes first ;-) )

There's no official or scientific definition of "middle class". Maybe it means the middle 95 percent. Triple the median still puts you well below the top 1 percent and below millionaire or billionaire. Since current political rhetoric singles those folks out as rich, it's no wonder most folks below that level would call themselves "middle class".

You seem to have missed the “in my opinion” part. Sure, some family of 3–4 might want an enormous house, e.g. to show off for the neighbors, put up the whole extended family as visitors under one roof, have a personal machine shop, give each family member 2 exclusive personal bathrooms, or whatever. For me, a bigger house would lead to worse quality of life.

I grew up in a mixed-class suburb, and many of my friends were the children of professionals (doctors, dentists, lawyers, businesspeople, etc.) with very large houses. So yes, I understand that some people think it’s important/useful to have a large house. None of them seemed to have a higher quality of life than my friends whose parents were professors, artists, teachers, etc. and lived in “normal-sized” 1000–1800 sq. ft. houses. In general, the large-house parents worked all the time, commuted longer distances, spent less time with their kids, and seemed generally less happy. On average the kids were probably also somewhat less happy. Having a big house, and having fancier material possessions more generally, isn’t really the most useful priority for most people to meet their primary life goals, in my opinion. YMMV.

At a world-wide scale, if every family needs to have a 3000+ square foot mansion on a separate lot, we’ll stay on track to wreck the planet.
> Now I have an iPhone with a camera which can give an old SLR a run for its money

Absolutely not. Older DSLR had lower resolution, but level of detail is not all there is to image quality.
Dynamic range, bokeh, control over perspective, the ability to take pictures of moving targets at higher iso without the picture becoming too grainy and the ergonomics are all things that even a 15 years old DSLR can do better than an iPhone 6s.
You just can't get pictures like these out of a smartphone :
http://i.imgur.com/kV2CfBE.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/0jugE5B.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/2bV1HJz.jpg

These all come from a Nikon D1h, samples from dpreview. The D1h was released in 2001. Nowadays, even the lowest end DSLR will outperform it in almost every single way, apart from build quality. Even so, that old top end camera still outperforms smartphones where it counts from the point of view of art photography. In 2001, I still used film cameras because good DSLR like the D1h were out of my reach, but these days, even a $300 DSLR will just obliterate anything you could do with a smartphone.

And then there's the fact that most casual photography is taking pictures of other humans, and that the wide angle lens of smartphones distort perspective and make people weird up close. The iPhone has a 30mm equivalent which is very unsuited to taking pictures of people.

Also, any algorithm can be made mostly malloc free if you keep a freelist instead of freeing memory. Malloc will then only be called enough times to fill the max utilization.

Forth is very cool and I agree with what you said, but it is arguable how useful it can be although OP didn't specify that he cared about that (he hinted at what would be a better replacement). I think there are a lot of things you'd have to implement from scratch or attempt to find a collection of words for, which might not work on your Forth. So if you're Chuck Moore then you're good. If not, I'm not sure if the extreme advantages (tiny size, REPL, ~speed, high ceiling/low floor) make up for the fact that you're essentially working in a vacuum.
I assume he's being facetious, because it is confusing. Especially imagine someone requesting payment in Ethereum, and you think you've paid, and then they come back and say that you paid with funds on the wrong chain, and to re-send the funds on a different chain. There isn't a client I'm aware of that supports simultaneous operation on multiple chains. It gets very hard to deal with very quickly.

There is another advantage to cap and trade as opposed to tax.

With cap and trade, you may have a politically motivated allocation of emission rights initially, but it's a one-off transfer and soon enough they end up the hands of the people with the most productive use of emissions.

With a carbon tax, people will continuously expand resources in the form of lobbying to try and receive the proceeds of the tax. The government has to stay in the loop forever.

No, it's not.

For citizens and expats it's ridiculously painless to enter/exit the UAE. Even as an American citizen with Global Entry, it's far easier to go in and out of the UAE than it is to enter/exit the USA.

I assume you're referring to the controversial Kafala system which chiefly harms migrant workers. It does not, in fact, require that anyone receive an exit visa.

The issue is primarily one of employers confiscating passports, not the government requiring you to obtain an exit visa. Fortunately, even in the four years I lived there the situation improved with more employees getting to hold on to their passports.

If you want to talk about repressive policies, you're much better off talking about Saudi Arabia which does require exit permits and has a far worse record on human rights (for both citizens and migrant workers).

Depends what you want out of food. I personally go to high end restaurants because I want to see what chefs are capable of doing with all the new techniques they invent, or come up with new combinations, or use familiar things in new ways. This sort of cooking is not easy or cheap work. So when restaurants are able to be inventive well under the $100 mark, then yes, it's cheap - unless you think labor should be free.

No. I am suggesting that what people call "natural talent" is just general intelligence and learning ability. I think that when people use the term "natural talent", implicit is talent at a particular task, which I suspect is not a real thing.
Fair enough, I felt I was droning on but it's true that I didn't show the key mistake. Here it is.

If you want to represent an arbitrary M-expression as an M-expression, it's most natural to use S-expressions for the representation language, these are the -values- in M-expression LISP. (In lambda calculus we have more choices, normal-forms or weak-head normal-forms). McCarthy defined hat(.), naturally enough, by induction on the structure of M-expressions. For each M-expression, we need an S-expression representation. (Note that we use uppercase symbols for the symbolic constants and lowercase symbols for identifiers.) Here goes:

hat(S) == (QUOTE S)

hat(x) == X

hat(if[M1; M2; M3]) == (IF hat(M1) hat(M2) hat(M3))

etc..

But HOLD ON! The S-expressions have inductive structure(!). The definition of hat(S) should have been:

hat(A) == (SYM A)

hat(()) == (NIL)

hat((S1 . S2)) == (PAIR hat(S1) hat(S2))

There are sensible mathematical properties that this latter representation has that the former doesn't. It's a bit of a long story. But the bottom line is that QUOTE, was defined erroneously. (And John McCarthy burst out laughing when I explained it to him.)

Since ARM had been a mainstream acquisition target for years now, I'd suspect this owes more to their M&A team rather than their CEO.

Estimating ARM's future earnings is relatively straightforward, and Softbank, like Berkshire, loves free cash flow. It doesn't require a visionary to go through the calculus of an acquisition under these parameters; it requires a team of shrewd finance professionals.
