Sometimes that's all you have the power to do. Why are customers leaving en masse if the old product is still functioning?

It sounds like the rewrite got stuck in the pattern where it has to do 100% of the original and then some. Just like a new product, a rewrite has to hit that MVP mark, just not as urgently. They also have to be able to throw out the cruft and not import every bad idea from v1.
Crystal doesn't support a REPL yet because inferred static typing complicates incremental compilation.

Rust already lost most of its interesting sigils. I'm curious which sigils that are left you think should go away?
I don’t care. It’s not my problem
Manual or deterministic memory management might be a must-have for certain usage domains, but for any domain in which one would be using ruby, this seems unlikely, and presumably one could FFI into C when this is the case. There are hardly any languages commonly used in industry which don't have GC (essentially just C/C++). And many of these garbage-collected languages are capable of blazingly fast code with a small memory footprint.

Regardless, for a language which is meant to operate in the same domain as ruby and be as easy and declarative, not having a GC would be a puzzling decision.

As a side note, I'm curious what areas you are programming in where the presence of a GC is such a downside. Having written almost exclusively in garbage-collected languages over the last few years, it's something I almost never think about (and happy not to). Of course I don't deny that stricter memory control is sometimes necessary.

What i as trying to do was break down that risk into the major constituents (as i see them), Chinese regulatory change being one of them. As I pointed out, likely a large fraction of the chinese cash is already illegal. I don't know chinese politics well enough to know the likelihood or impact of a change. However just from general corrupt country historical knowledge I would guess there are a lot of payoffs to get the money out and who wants to stop that?

Oil price is an interesting point. Of course the question becomes what would the price of oil do to foreign investment? Not much i'd guess.

If oil goes down the CAD will become cheaper increasing investment. Up and investment may slow but, again, if you're a chinese millionaire looking to get your cash to a safe haven do you actually care how big the house is you are buying? You are just moving the say 2mil out of china. You just care that it keeps the original value.

On a side note, if you are travelling in Italy never leave anything valuable, or anything that it looks like it could contain something valuable, in plain view in a vehicle.

A few years ago I was on holiday in Italy and someone broke in to my car and stole a suitcase which contained my laptop, passport and camera. Earlier this year I was living in Rome for a few months and the amount of cars with smashed windows I saw (to grab whatever was left on the seat) was staggering.

Even if you have insurance, it may not cover theft from an unattended motor vehicle (at least mine didn't).

It's weird, my experiences were more the opposite to what most people wrote. I only did my own gig (2-3 people) for a bit more than a year but until now it affects my career to that level that I want to exclude it from my resume, or at least make it look like a normal company.

When people talk to me about what I did they think it's impressive and love the technical challenges I tell them about, but most of the times the rejection happens only because of fear that I will create my startup again after a short time of working at company x. I got this confirmed multiple times after asking about the reason.

As just this sort of person, I get the sense that I'm probably looking for new employment the wrong way, because I only start hearing about opportunities at startups when those startups are fait-accompli dead-in-the-water.

My hypothesis: most startups don't bother advertising openings publicly while they can get by using private word-of-mouth in their network. Since I'm not well-enough-connected, none of the private word-of-mouth ever reaches me; so I only ever hear about these companies once their well of private leads has run dry—which really should be taken as a vote-of-no-confidence from their network.

Recent Progress in Generative Modeling – Ilya Sutskever  OpenAI [pdf]
White Wolf's "Vampire: the Masquerade" famously took the world of role-playing by storm in the 90s. The system is aptly named "the Storytelling System". We've had some terrific stories "told" mostly based around various versions of "Mage: the Ascension". Both "Mage" and the newer "Hunters" (along with perhaps "Wraith: the Oblivion") provides decent frameworks for both realistic and supernatural settings - the secret is mostly not having too detailed rules - and be prepared to wing it.

For some notes from our previous (and rather epic campaign) have a look at our GMs (now defunct) blog for the setting and role-playing in general:

Thats simply not true.

UB is simply the latest stick to hit C with.
In day-to-day working nobody worries about UB at all as you generally don't notice it.

Same with lack of a GC; this is a plus point for C for most applications, not a negative.

My thoughts as well. I'd guess Building 8 since that is probably based on Hateful 8? So basically the 8 that build stuff (building used as a verb).

Pure speculation though.
in what universe is that actually a factor? Pretty bizarre comment.
Boy, what I'd give for a career trajectory that looks like that. But I'm not moving to the US any time soon (my family is quite happy here), and my local market caps out at ~$110k for "senior" devs. It's annoyingly hard to find remote jobs working for US firms that pay US salaries.
That's probably the case. Attack authorization surely involves more than opening a briefcase and pressing a big red button. (Edit, yep: 'The National Command Authority comprising the president and Secretary of Defense must jointly authenticate the order to use nuclear weapons to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff').

All of these "fast as C" claims about modern, high-level Python-like languages (be they statically typed and natively compiled) are missing the point. It is mostly the minimalistic and terse programming style that C encourages that makes C programs performant. You avoid allocations wherever possible, you write your own custom allocators and memory pools for frequently allocated objects, you avoid copying stuff as much as possible. You craft your own data structures suited for the problem at hand, rather than using the standard "one size fits all" ones. Compare that to the "new this, new that" style of programming that's prevalent today.
The article talks about the OS audio buffering (for mixing streams from multiple applications) and application audio buffering (for mixing streams from within the application), each adding 10–40 ms of latency.

Why is the application audio buffer necessary? Can't the application just send all its streams on to the OS separately to let the OS do all the mixing with a single-layer approach? Is there some unrealistically low bound on the number of possible streams or something that makes this impractical? Could that be fixed?

This seems like a simple way to save 10–40ms, without giving up mixing audio across applications (as is necessary with the "WASAPI exclusive mode" the author described).
Gotcha, didn't mean to come off aggressive but trying to understand if I missed something. To my knowledge, numerous failsafes have been improved over the years (human and technical) but the President is still the sole decider.

They have definitely adjusted procedures to correct for historic screw-ups but, given a lack of mistakes at the executive level, there's been no precedent to change the President's nuclear capabilities.
Well knowing is obviously impossible, it's a bet for a reason. Actually knowing is most likely insider trading.
I listed a few examples of emerging languages to clarify that Elixir is not in the same class when it comes to computational performance on a single machine. The performance profile is indeed Erlang-like.

Keep also in mind that my reply was within the context of a thread on Crystal. OP sort of sold Elixir as a fast language that we can use now while we wait for Crystal to mature.

My point is not that Elixir is useless. My point is that we must not oversell Elixir as a fast language. Generally speaking, it isn't. It excels at horizontal scaling, which is great, but I wouldn't call it "fast" without proper qualifiers.
My biggest concern if i were to try to use Crystal in production would be the lack of "googleability". I'm guessing your team is very familiar with the language, so it's not as much of a problem that you can't Google a problem when it happens. Do you feel that this is a major roadblock for people new to crystal, or are the majority of errors very intuitive? the second thing is that according to the site crystal is in alpha and making breaking changes sometimes. how often do you have to refactor after an update and how difficult has it been to spot and fix that something is broken by an upgrade? Very interested in using it myself but can't bring myself to commit an app to it.

I don't work for Netflix or Hulu. But why couldn't staff there just sign up for VPN services, log in, note the IP address(es) in use and then block those?

Buying a monthly subscription to a few VPN providers seems like a cheap and easy way to solve this.

> I know I can buy my own VPS and tunnel through that

It would be pretty easy for a provider to block access from a VPS. Data center providers have well known blocks of IP addresses, which are static, and it's pretty unlikely that there are any actually humans in a data center watching Netflix.

It would be pretty trivial for Netflix to decide to block certain IP ranges they know to be used by VPS providers to prevent this.

There's some moral wrong giving people exposure who are being obnoxious in order to get exposure.

Linking may not imply endorsement but their twitter account clearly shows they want the public hate as attention, so whether you want it or not, you're doing them a favour by naming them, even if to scold them.

This is akin to associating every mass killing with a terrorist organisation (whether accurate or not) and showing detailed videos of those killings when the entire point of a terrorist organisation is spreading terror.

Expidited and Respected Avenues of Learninb

> The top mathematicians are not Asian, just a fact

Alright I'll bite as well. Though I don't think the OP's conclusion is correct, I also don't think the lack of prominent asian mathematicians is entirely indicative of ability or creativity, but rather largely caused by the availability bias of English speakers and our current vantage point in history.

First: availability bias. We're reading English books and working within an education system born out of Europe. Asian history has been full of interesting wars, rulers, artists, politics, etc for thousands of years, but few in America will ever learn anything except for where it relates to America / Europe. Much of the information about Asian history will be in another language as well.

Second: Recent history. Knowledge-creators in other countries are playing a game they are disadvantaged in, having to first learn English, then travel abroad for the best universities, etc. (Imagine if you had to learn Japanese and travel to Japan to go to get a decent higher education!)

The reason of course is that 1500s and onwards (post-renaissance), most of the knowledge generation was happening in Europe. But that wasn't always the case: if we look a thousand years prior, or 2 thousand years prior, knowledge was being generated by Greek, Arab, or Chinese mathematicians. For instance, the concept of 0 arrived to Europe pretty late: http://www.livescience.com/27853-who-invented-zero.html

So circling back to the original question of the importance of genetics vs environment:

That the world's patches of knowledge has shifted across different cultures, peoples, and places over the last maybe 8 thousand years to me doesn't imply such a large importance on inherent genetic ability, and that time frame is too short for any evolutionary changes.

Culture seems to be a much larger factor (and this is where I will concede that asian culture can stifle creativity). Culture is the main difference between the heads down religious conviction of the 9th century in Europe and the renaissance, not genetics.

It is overwhelmingly evident that coup was at least partly planned by Gulenists. There are tens of coup confessions making a direct link to the group already. All political groups in Turkey have a consensus on this.

However somewhat foreign press is trying hard to see it other way. Many foreign journalists even supported the coup instead of condemning until failure is imminent. Some reasons can be that they just dislike the current president and often their information sources are people who are affiliated with the cleric's movement.

Clearly this coup attempt gave a golden opportunity to the president to purge Gulen followers from the state and nobody is denying this. But that is the expected behavior, whether or not it is justified. To me, Gulen and his upper hierarchy just blindly pushed all their low rank followers to the fire (most probably did not have a clue about the coup).
Ya, I don't mean to say that he's wrong. Simply that he is cherry picking a narrative around his facts and presenting it as though the facts prove the narrative without really mentioning that there are other narratives that are also consistent with those facts.
I don't think it's really trying to compete with C, it's a much higher level language, just one that happens to be fast as well.
Long-Awaited Check of CryEngine V
In May 2016, German game-development company Crytek made a decision to upload the source code of their game engine CryEngine V to Github (https://github.com/crytek-cryengine/cryengine). The engine is written in C++ and has immediately attracted attention of both the open-source developer community and the team of developers of PVS-Studio static analyzer who regularly scan the code of open-source projects to estimate its quality. A lot of great games were created by a number of video-game development studios using various versions of CryEngine, and now the engine has become available to even more developers. This article (http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0417/) gives an overview of errors found in the project by PVS-Studio static analyzer.
Since your willing to look at this now, here is the install log: http://pastebin.com/MB6dEiZD

Looking at it, its clear it had some problems. The issue is the installer said it finished successfully.

One of the goals I have is to keep the required runtime absolutely minimal, as well -- I'm ok with the compiler inserting some user-defined code in the appropriate places to initialize or release values, but I'd like to avoid growing the required code in https://github.com/oridb/mc/tree/master/rt unless it's absolutely necessary.

And yes, that ~60 lines per platform is really all that's needed. (And actually, I should be able to merge more of it for SysV platforms.)

So, I've thought about a GC, but I'd really prefer not to have it.

So the way to counteract information asymmetry (if we assume it exists) is to artificially enforce less information on the employers? That can't possibly be the right answer unless there's some systematic bias that leads to worse economic outcomes when employers happen to know a candidate's past income.
