I understand what you are saying, but to inform other people it would be better if you indicated that you know what I'm saying. Refute the point? I disagree.

if this robot could do approximately what Renaissance has been already doing, that would not create wealth, that would take Renaissance's milkshake and share it for two, or worse, by creating competition, dry up Renaissance's milkshake for both. i.e. the money that Renaissance is making is not "lying around to be taken", it's already being wrung out of the market, and is being picked up and put in somebody's pocket, Renaissance's.

And for perspective, what Renaissance has been doing for all the time it has existed (65 billion in 25 years is your unicorn) is less than what Apple did, less than what Microsoft did before that, less than Berkshire Hathaway, etc. Facebook... Google... Uber is already closing in on Renaissance's value in a fraction of the time and in terms of trendline will blow past it. "Money lying on the floor of the stock exchange" is nothing compared to actual value creation.

Still, Renaissance is a pretty good gig for some uber mathnerds who realize they don't actually have other ways to create value (as our robot does) so I'd give it a bump for low opportunity cost.

You seem to be complaining that innovation is happening.

If you don't want to deal with the inevitable 'options' that are going to be offered up by a community as large as the JS community, you could 1. pick a smaller community, 2. stick to old tech (e.g. at our company we still have an app running on RequireJS that runs just fine -- RequireJS is over 6 years old). 3. calmly re-assess tech choices every year or so.

I'm starting to think that "Only research that's been properly replicated at least twice" should be reported in the non-academic press. It would save a lot of "my experts can beat up your experts" kind of arguments about whether (e.g.) coffee is good for you or not.

And, I think, it might make science look a little better in the eye of the general public.

How does that harm Google? It brings the other countries in line with what the US already has (at least for works created after Jan 1, 1978). But, I really don't see how having copyrights extended 20 years in a handful of countries harms Google.
Owning a plot of land doesn't mean you can do anything you want with it. I can't buy a plot in the suburbs and build a skyscraper on it. Buildings require permits, even buildings made of shipping containers.
Interesting, I'll have to watch out for it then. I found it more helpful than Reshape2 when trying to convert a dataset with 55 variables from wide to long format. 8 of those variables needed to be collapsed into 1 variable. With Reshape2, I had to identify all the ones I didn't want in the final result, with TidyR I just needed to identify the ones I wanted. Hence it was easier with TidyR.

I was considering writing something similar: a "semi-mocked" implementation of all of AWS, getting you most of what you get from running OpenStack but from one static binary running in userland and with no persistence.

My use-case for it was that I'd write it all in Erlang, and then each public port on a mocked EC2 instance would have a single Erlang process hooked up to it to respond to messages coming to that instance-IP:port. So you could set up something that looked like a thousand-node distributed VPC, from the perspective of an AWS client talking to the API, and it would all sit in a couple MB of RAM and near-zero CPU.
I would be very interested to know what methods of learning mathematics you espouse other than, or perhaps in addition to, doing exercises.

Read carefully, go to seminars, ask people, and think through stuff.

I'm in lowly applied math/theoretical CS though, so it might be different in other, more abstract fields.
A ton of corn costs about $166, let's say that's half carbon. So each gigaton will cost about $300 billion, and thats just to buy the corn, not including the digging, etc.

You'd need to collect about 900 gigatons to return the atmosphere to preindustrial CO2 levels.

There's a high degree of bullshit and opportunism around blockchains.

Some people want to believe blockchains are a solution for everything because they are not technical. Like the guy in the video, when all you have is a hammer...

If you understand the tech, it's just another data structure + consensus algorithm. Not everything needs to be decentralised, or to operate in a trustless network.

I don't think you deserve to be downvoted. My take on downvotes is that they are best reserved for comments that detract from the conversation - ones that are mean, sloppy, or misleading.

While I don't necessarily agree with your comment I'm glad you shared it. I appreciate hearing different opinions and ideas.

When people down vote to express disagreement with a well-articulated idea it makes HN a worse place. It silences dissent (by pushing it down on the screen and fading it).
I've written many 48 hour games. I've also written games that drag on for months or longer without apparent progress.

The difference literally comes down to whether you are doing easy things or not. Having an engine or framework does help make a variety of things easy, but it does nothing for the one or two features that aren't. Eventually you hit a wall where it takes forever, and that's your next month. You get over the wall and then a flood of other new features come in almost instantly. Also in the same ballpark are features that you have coded before and are familiar with, vs. ones you aren't. You can get a lot done "from scratch" by spamming preexisting knowledge at the problem, but it still takes time and it isn't exactly easy either.

Last of all, at first clone-and-modify is enough to feel interesting. So you go very quickly, because you care little about the result. But after a few dozen times doing that, you're done, and you want to expand the parts you care about. That creates more barriers to get over, more months where progress is slow because your ambition is big enough to no longer follow the easy path. More months where problems are on the content development side, not the runtime. That part is always difficult. Scope is deceptive.
But who seriously believes the collapse postulate is a fundamentally true law of physics? Unitary time evolution and the collapse postulate are incompatible, so at most one is fundamental and true. And over almost a century we have collected a gigantic amount of experimental data confirming that unitary time evolution is correct.

You might argue that the same is true for the collapse postulate and the Born rule but I have to disagree. Yes, it gives the correct answer in as many experiments, but those are parts of the experiments that we don't really understand. We have classical system interact with quantum systems and our measurement devices are just such gigantic quantum systems that we can't treat them quantum mechanically.

The collapse postulate is obviously true in a kind of classical limit, but it is really just an emergent law and nothing fundamental. If you could show that a wave function collapse can occurs in quantum system before we measure it, that would change the game. But that is not the case, the wave function collapse only occurs when we throw a gigantic classical system at the quantum system which we can not treat properly due to its complexity.

So I argue people are rightly ignoring wave function collapse when they talk about time symmetry because it is just an emergent phenomenon. And there are several ideas that can explain why it looks like a wave function collapse occurs, so we are not simply throwing a corner stone of our theory out of the window.

But how many times can you access the DRAM in that time?

One thing you have to keep in mind is that the more dynamic the scene graph, and the larger its memory footprint, the more frequent you'll miss the cache while traversing it.

It's possible to manually write optimized flex-box-like layout code, where the overall structure, if not exact position, is mostly static.

For example, if you always have one resizable panel to the side of two viewports, of equal width (as is the case in the editor I use atm), you can easily do `viewport_width = (total_width - panel_width) / 2` and be done.

Those operations, if done with integers, should be faster than a read from cache, or if done with floating-point numbers, (much) faster than going to DRAM in the even of a cache miss.

However, doing all of that by hand would be a pain, and it's hopeless in the face of user customization. SIMD is another resource that's completely unusable in the face of truly dynamic data, and a time sink to do manually.

What we're missing is automation of mostly-static UIs, generating specialized code and optimizing it into computations that run under a microsecond. For HTML, the hope would be JITs, but highly dynamic DOMs are still all over the place, so you're not going to have as many gains as a dedicated UI system, and it wouldn't be free for the user.

Well he wasn't doing "anything he wanted to" and he definitely wasn't "building skyscrapers" on the land. He had a shipping container and it seems like someone threw a party on the land.

There are millions of things the government could go after him for but they didn't. They didn't go after permits, or safety codes, or anything. They cited him for "abandoned or vacant building open to the public" which is complete BS.

If they went after him for building permits (which do not apply here) or anything else I'd agree that is fine. That is not what happened. What they have done is essentially went after him for a charge of "I don't like what you have that here, it looks ugly"
Really? That's kinda ... sleazy. And against US law. I'm assuming nobody reports it because nobody wants 100% of that company's H1B visas (including their own visa!) to be revoked in the US?

I agree with a number of other replies to the "what's the problem, it's his land!" perspective. Are people really that unaware that they are sitting in a room on land benefiting from an extremely long debate about how land owners can and should use that land?
You wouldn't get to see the shuffle though, as most casinos will use an auto shuffler that shuffles one shoe while the other is in play.

6-8 decks would be hard to figure out until maybe halfway through. Could do some analysis on the probability of a face card though that would really pay off towards the end of the shoe.
For B) All hash table implementations are vulnerable to this kind of attack. However, some kinds of chaining are less vulnerable. In particular, balanced binary tree chaining would make the worst-case lookup (and insertion?) time complexity O(log n), which is a significant improvement over probing or linked list chaining. The tricks mentioned in the other comments above also improve things, by making such an event less likely.

As for A), no. No, JSON handling doesn't need hashtables. Since your app will only look at certain values in the JSON, you can simply ignore all the other values, and dump the values in an object/struct of your choosing. It wouldn't even be all that hard to write, provided you know how to write a parser...

From the looks of the pictures, it would take a pretty huge earthquake to get that container even to a spot where it could start rolling; the container would be the least of your problems.
Yup. Issues with docker on osx caused me to move to a debian VM 6 or 7 months ago (that I ssh into from iterm). The main reason I still use it is because it would take several hours to transition back to osx.

For me, the scenarios mentioned are too improbable to justify that amount of tinkering. If you need what that gives you (portability etc), it would not be a terrible way to go about it. You could also look into amazon workspaces or vagrant.
Not a problem by my standards. I don't care what you do next to my property. It is your property.

I had a few gigs like this in college.

It's more than lonliness -- people like being connected to people outside of their circle, especially young people. One couple I did computer and odd electrical jobs for were a semi-retired power couple (neurosurgeon, big cheese at med school + big attorney) who were not at a loss for company.

I got the sense that they liked talking to young folks without the baggage that comes with interacting with their own kids. Also, many rich people enjoy paying people to do things for a variety of reasons.
As far as I'm aware the protocol can use other identifiers. If I remember correctly the development server allows registering without a phone number for easier testing of Signal-Desktop. Not sure what is used as an identifier instead. Not sure where I read it, so it may be the result of the telephone game. Take this with a grain of salt.
Or it's just nonsense like most hunches. I hope Smolin keeps on trucking but hunch based contrarianism isn't actually a good indicator of truth.

That is not clear at all and pretty useless. What does it mean? I should not accept any user input at all?

That does not always work. What if I have a comment form that should accept any characters?
"should" is perhaps the right question, however in California the answer is "does it?".

I don't know if you live in California, but "permits" are the go to weapon of neighborhood activist groups to try to get what they want. Whether it is to prevent building, property use, or nuisances. My guess is that someone argued the container is a "building" (it has windows and a door after all), and every city requires that you get a permit before you put a building on your property. Whether it is a lowly garden shed or a guest house.

Should neighbors be able to attack each other with the municipal code? That is a pretty deep question. Do they? Sure all the time.
Tried reading that book, but about 95% of it is hot air. I think the author's system might be credible, but I got so tired of pages full of pointless pontificating that I had to stop reading it. The author needs to get to the point.

The book certainly is relevant for someone starting any business that will have employees; but less so for a one man business. I really like the model in "The Incredible Secret Money Machine," but it's about 25 years out of date. In essence, the author basically creates businesses like the Bingo Card Creator every 3-6 months.

I hoped other people could share their experiences with me.

This example doesn't very well, it's rather awkwardly contrived. In the US you would just buy 1/2 or 3/4 of a pound, not 1/3.

It's a far better idea to dump the carbon in after it has been used for it's energy and is bound up in a more stable configuration, ie biochar (a.k.a. terra preta or low temp charcoal). Biochar is stable in the soil for thousands of years, and provides a matrix on which soil organisms can thrive. There are also some indications that the biochar induces greater plant growth because the residual bio-oils and aromatic hydrocarbons cause the plants to think that there was a recent fire and this is there opportunity to take over.

But more importantly, and to your point, it is a carbon sink, and if made through gasification produces a carbon negative energy source.
Exactly, I still have no idea what HammerJS is.
"Cancer" is not a single disease that can be lumped together like this. It is a large group of different diseases that share a similar mechanism (cell mutation and unchecked growth). Without information about what specific cancers are involved, it may be as the GP said: an elevated risk of a rare cancer.
When you consider that layout typically depends on fonts, which are hideously complicated, it's a lot worse than that. Text line breaking involves a lot of allocation, etc.

Also, layout is typically memory-bound. The arithmetic intensity is sadly fairly low.

I do agree with you, though. Sadly very few Web developers and designers care about performance of layout; all everyone seems to want is new features without any regard for performance...

That's what I was thinking. Never seen verified parsers or generators requiring these things. So I figured it was an unnecessary requirement bringing in its own security issue.
Two problems with that. If the banks are responsible for mistakes made by customers (in the example given, the bank did exactly what the customer herself asked them to do), then there's no incentive for customers to be careful and not make mistakes. That seems like a dangerous way to missalign incentives from responsibility.

Secondly, if banks have to cover the mistakes of their other customers, they will need to make that money back somehow, by higher fees for customers like you.

Only what I addressed. Typography, which you can disable or override easily.

Let's be clear, Bootstrap is the most popular CSS framework in the world, whose Github issue threads have been pored over many times more than Blaze's are likely to be for a very long time, and Bootstrap 3 at least never took any power away.

There are some really cool looking elements to Blaze and I'm very interested in using it for some upcoming projects, but to infer that you should ditch Bootstrap for it, on the basis of opt-in vs opt-out is very misleading.
