Fair enough; I don't know enough to say that you are arrogant personally, nor would that be productive. What I meant to express is that the comment itself is an arrogant statement because it's self-centered. You directly compared an idea people enjoy debating about and believing in to idol worship (Musk) and something you dismissed as a teenager in high school.

This comment is actually a much more reasonable expression of your point than the earlier one - you mentioned you respect the people who believe in religion and revised your claim to state that proof of the unfalsifiable is meaningless (which is nearly tautological). That logic is sound (though you could make an argument that attempting to prove something unfalsifiable when you're emotionally invested in it and it's otherwise harmless could be fulfilling).

Your earlier comment had a different tone and sentiment; namely, that belief in something unfalsifiable has no impact on someone's life, and that you can't understand why grown adults would bother with it. That was the specific sentiment I found to be offensive.

For what it's worth, I'm agnostic.
I actually wish a keyword was also usable for the case of reference type tuples in order to be able to disambiguate those in libraries and later switch the default.

It seems the feature was implemented to answer the concern of interop with C# (which in future v7 will have shorthand syntax only for System.ValueTuple but not for System.Tuple), the language might later add better support for deconstruction without the extra keyword.

For tuples which remain local, the compiler is generally good at eliding those (but not in all cases, if it is a concern, always check the optimized compiled output).

The idea of an x86 PC/phone is essentially dead because of Intel.

"Intel’s plans to discontinue its Atom chips for phones and some tablets may not have killed the dream of a Microsoft Surface phone—just the piece of it that made it so enticing.

In the wake of a restructuring that relegated the PC to just another connected device, Intel confirmed Friday that it has cancelled its upcoming SoFIA and Broxton chips. That leaves Intel with just one Atom chip, Apollo Lake, which it had slated for convertible tablets.

...fans of the platform have long hoped for a phone that could run native Win32 legacy apps as well as the new UWP platform that Microsoft has made a central platform of Windows 10. The assumption was that this would require a phone running on an Intel Atom processor. Intel’s decision eliminates that option."

Pity, I would've bought one without hesitation. In theory, one could have a ARM-based Chromebook/phone or WinRT/phone but there's not enough software out there for ChromeOS or UWP to make it attractive.
There's nothing wrong with posting a technical article on Facebook, especially if you're too busy being a graphical programming genius to set up your own blog somewhere. I don't see it as any different than posting on Medium...besides making a choice as to which company you're going to support? But seriously, who cares?
>I've also seen men in that situation who bounce back professionally after a divorce. Usually not immediately, but relatively short term (1 to 5 years).

That makes a lot of sense. That 1 to 5 year period may be due to depression, despondency and general lack of motivation. If they get through that there may well be strong motivation to rebuild yourself. Plus, if you no longer have a spouse and children waiting at home there is no one to complain if you start putting in extra hours.

You are not wrong. The earliest one I'm aware of is Stephanie Forrest's work from 1997:

Once a rootkit is installed, it can completely bypass system call monitors in all sorts of ways – communicating with a kernel component via a shared user/kernel memory page, or adding a new device and communicating using custom ioctls, or "backdooring" an existing system call when some userland parameter is set to a magic value, or ...

I think the more interesting question here is what they do with the code he has already contributed. They can, of course, try to remove it but I wonder to what extent a "bad actor" could claim that the replacement code was a derived work of their original code.

Nothing, really. COBOL is the way it is by design. It is not something that its creators should be expected to regret to have done this way and not the other. The language was designed to serve a specific purpose, and it has served well. Look at SQL (which originally stood for "Structured-English Query language"). It shares some important features with COBOL (being "structured English", having easy-to-understand semantics), and, of course, just like COBOL, it often meets some harsh criticisms. I think that bringing both languages together (and I am not talking about Embedded SQL here) could result in a kind of "happy marriage" - in that one would get a pretty powerful tool for doing stuff on a computer without having to learn complex control and data structures - let alone things like macros, generics, iterators and such. I have met people who struggled with Visual Basic and who would certainly struggle with such languages as Python, but who have enough intuition and logical abilities to make it possible for their untrained intelligence to successfully create useful programs in COLBOL and SQL - not unlike non-programmers showing the ability to use, say, Microsoft Excel, very skillfully and efficiently (which, I must say, not every programmer can do; incidentally, I have also met professional programmers who struggled with programming subjects I'd thought were easy to understand!).
>Sure, but their hardware was always great

Was it? They had some nice models for the early smartphone era, and nice camera/lenses, but aside from that?

Plus, Nokia was king of featurephones, with tons of crappy, low margin models...

I think they mean how resources are split after a divorce, where courts are viewed as being more favourable to women.

For example I think women are more likely to keep children, whereas the men will pay alimony to support them. If there are no kids the resource split might be more equitable.

Primarily, the irritating verbosity, which still exists in modern cobol. In addition, it has many frustrating features and misfeatures, which may have made sense at the time, but definitely don't now. Modern COBOL has much of the same, but at least there are alternatives to many of the more awkward bits.
Real strength is making it through something like that. Respect.

Not so sure about it. Even the best VR headset would be a niche product for the next 5 years at least. At best it can get to Wii kind of success for HTC, but that's not sustainable. And when the big players (Apple, Samsung) and the Chinese commoditizers come into VR, what will HTC have?

>*a more valid counter-argument would be arguing that SpaceX isn't better or that the domains share no similarities

Not quite. Arguing that Space X is no better would be following a red herring and arguing that there are no similarities is too high a standard. A valid counterargument merely needs to show that they are sufficiently different in some important way.

And, my (admittedly pithy) counterargument ran exactly along those lines.

Meanwhile, the main difference between the domains had already been pointed out in my original comment, and I even provided an example of a relevant domain.

So, you've gotten it exactly backwards: the burden is on my respondent to demonstrate why SpaceX is a relevant analogy/counterargument.
You are correct. I was forgetting the fact that homes in the US are produced in the US, but that, on the whole, cars, and especially car parts, are not.

I looked at this data from 2014: http://www.bea.gov/industry/gdpbyind_data.htm

It shows the value added rather than gross GDP. So if I import $7000 of parts from Asia, and use them to make a $12000 car, that would show up as a $5000 value add, representing the work that was done in the US.

From this data it appears that construction is about just under 4%, and motor vehicles are just under 1%. So, 4x, which is not far off the 5x you stated.

"If my understanding -- that Patrick holds copyright to (at least some of) the netfilter code -- is correct, then Patrick is entitled to pursue any "enforcement actions" he wishes."

He is.
However, and i sadly, can't go into detail with this[1], but the methods he is using to do so are considered by even pretty staunch GPL advocates to be pretty abhorrent. The things he claims are his are ... interesting. From what i understand, he put his name on some files by making 1-2 line changes (and requesting his name be added. You can actually see this in the netfilter mailing list history) and then claims copyright to all of it. His interpretations of the GPL are also, well, let's also just go with "interesting". Suffice to say, if patrick was right, there is probably literally no-one in the world who complies with the GPL or LGPL (IE not even the FSF).

It's like some of the firms who are suing companies for ridiculous ADA violations (not the "you have no wheelchair access to the movie theater" type), or non-existent violations of california's prop 65 (the cancer warning). From a social perspective, it's one thing if they actually care, and are trying to cure those violations, and get companies to a care. But in a lot of cases, they don't care. They don't want you to fix it, they want to make money. In fact, it's better for them if you don't fix it. They strain the boundaries of the law, etc, in that attempt to make money. Do they have the right to do so?
Yeah, sure. But it's pretty damn scummy in the opinion of a lot of people.

[1] The reason nobody who has knowledge talks about this is because a lot of this is being done (by Patrick) in ways to make sure it must be kept private (again, that's what other lawyers tell me) and out of the public eye. So one of the reasons you don't see blog posts detailing exactly what is going on is because people are legally not allowed to talk about it (AFAIK)
Pokemon Go was the first non-creepy AR use case. Everything else they came up with with Google Glass and such involved disturbing mass surveillance type stuff. Even so, Pokemon Go was treated as a national security threat by some governments.

Considering the two existing ways to defines structs are

type S = struct val X:int end
type [<Struct>] R = val Y:int

it's not new syntax as much as an extension of the contexts where the construct is applicable.

The examples in the blog post aren't in accordance with the RFC as far as type signatures are concerned [1] The tuple decomposition is mixed in with the type sig.

let getPointFromOffset (point: struct (x, y)) (offset: struct (dx, dy)) = ...

^ is totally wrong

let getPointFromOffset (struct(x, y) as point) (struct (dx, dy) as offset) = ...

or

let getPointFromOffset ((x, y): struct(int * int)) ((dx, dy): struct(int * int)) = ...

use the proper syntax, which is consistent with the rest of F#

2 sentences in a large number of unrelated articles becomes tiresome I'd imagine.
it's because this is a continuing trend that seems to be speeding up rather than slowing down. from one OS X version to the next, there continues to be a decline of the user interface and experience, where every new OS X version requires even experienced users to search "how do i do the thing i used to be able to do". it's not even about being able to do new things. it's just being able to continue using features you knew only to find out they've been changed for some seemingly arbitrary reason.

the number one example i have is that at one point, they thought it was a good idea to have facetime automatically reduce all system volume when on a call. fine. maybe. but there is no option to turn that "feature" off when it should be a trivial matter to do so. so now, when facetiming with my brother, i have to go get another device or hang up and call him back if we want to share a youtube video or a song or whatever.

Watch out: don't be tripped up by semantics. The two of you are using different definitions of the word "sexism".
I think it's a bit of a mismatch when people talk about maintainability and comprehensibility, but only on very local levels, and the examples they bring up are also very local.

System maintainability and comprehensibility owe more to architecture than to local readability. It doesn't matter if local code is completely functional, or if Scala secretly uses imperative algorithms underneath. What matters is if the code module / division / unit is keeping its contract or API with respect to the rest of the system, because if it is, then you can actually hope to comprehend your system at a useful level of abstraction. Local vs system comprehensibility are not in tension, but an unfair amount of focus has been placed on local clarity.

So a question I'd have is what architectural solutions to some problem domain are natural and special to the functional style. To that end, it's more interesting to see a skeleton project tackling a generic problem, as an inspiration for a generic architecture, than to talk about whether it's possible to write locally bad code with an FP language.
Not everyone agrees with the Rules of Typographical Style.

Did you ever try syncing contacts with a Maemo? Because if you think going into redpill mode and configuring a command line sync so you can get your address book syncing with anything represents anything than a steam mound of UX shit, you are either actually insane, or so out of touch with what any normal human might think of as a reasonable experience that you might as well be.

I can speak for Google, not AWS or Azure. Google's network is smart in several ways:

- If you are trying to send a packet from one Google AZ to another, it will traverse Google network only, never hitting the public web.. without a VPN/VPC setup

- If you are trying to reach a service on Google Network, you hit the Google frontend at one of the many Points of Presence around the world, from which point it's a straight path to nearest DC

- If you are trying to reach a customer from your VMs on Google, your packet will be taken as close to your customer as possible on Google backbone

For "cheaper egress" there are CDN providers, and both AWS and Google have their own CDNs as well.
