I guess I believe it is common that if a platform becomes popular enough for developers - solutions will appear to allow them to reuse their knowledge in developing applications outside of their original target platform.

Furthermore in the attempt to woo developers from one popular platform to another a myriad of solutions will appear to allow the developer to move their existing tools, methods, and general knowledge from their comfortable and familiar platform onto the new one.

I'd suppose anyone that has more than 5+ years experience and has moved between at least two types of platforms can point to examples in their mind.

Personally I dislike this habit of using tooling to solve platform movement and escape the time constraints inherent in learning to develop for a new platform; I can however see the attraction, because, it really does ease time and effort in learning something new even if to provide this easing it acts a buffer to any deep understanding of the target platform.

The chart suffers from the same problem as the fuel light - how far you can drive depends on both the amount of fuel left and the current driving conditions. I don't see how the chart is any more accurate than the on-board computer, given the difference in MPG for different road conditions.

I'm specifically talking about the US, and in particular the majority of the US population. My understanding is that the rest of the world tends to be somewhat better (not as much industrialization of farming and breeding) and of course there are still farmers all over the world who are still using traditional methods.
That's certainly a way of thinking about things.

I guess what I really want is for Vim to decide what it wants to be. You can be simple, or you can be extensible. Vim is kind of trying to be both. Traditionally, Emacs did extensible, and Vi did simple. It's fine if Vim wants to go the emacs route, it's just that I'd rather it stopped doing it so badly: At this point, Vim's extensibility story is embarrassing. It's 2016, the built-in language is rubbish, the external language interfaces are second-class at best. This has to change if Vim really wants to go in that direction. And if doesn't, why bother pretending?

You're assuming that they don't allow this kind of tinkering internally. But they actually due, Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone were both created as internal passion projects by staff, grew interest inside of the company, polished and released.

Blizzard does focus on quality and feel, and is very open about their willingness to push dates or cancel projects if it doesn't meet their quality standard. Titan didn't work as an MMO, and a lot of that work was reused in Overwatch.

Perhaps not a bad language, but I do think it falls into the same category as PHP - just good enough.

It's just good enough to do what we want it to do, and given the lack of choice, we're willing and ready to pile abstraction upon abstraction upon it to try and reduce the pain involved with getting work done.

And like masochists, we look at the results and go "Well, that didn't hurt too bad this time, so I'm willing to go do it again."

In Emacs in general it's easier to customise to do things your way. After a bit investment into learning elisp you can make it work however you want, including vim way. vim is not as customisable.
Typescript is sufficiently close to JavaScript that it doesn't really feel like it's treating JS as some invisibly underlying assembly-like layer.

In practice, you can use as much or as little typing as you want, and the compiler will occasionally tell you "I think you're doing something dangerous here", but even then you're only one <any> away from ignoring its generally good advice (or more sanely, you would annotate the ambiguous bits a bit better so typescript understands you really meant to do that.)

But otherwise, all the usual js hacks still very much apply.

Anyway, that's why typescript is my cup of tea|coffee.
Certainly true. Although I prefer Geiser + Emacs myself, which supports Guile, Racket, and Chicken, the three big Scheme implementations (or not Scheme implementations in Racket's case).

Incorrect.

Arsenic is an element. Elemental arsenic, as with elemental carbon, or hydrogen, or any other element, is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Its chemical properties are defined largely by its valence electrons, and atomic mass.

There is no more carbon in arsenic than there is sound in light. They are different things.

> It's not unsound. Otherwise you'd incorrect results. You could say it's wasteful, because you optimise and then throw away the optimisation.

The optimization is unsound. If it weren't, it wouldn't have to be rolled back occasionally.

If you're talking about the combination of the optimization and the rollback mechanism, it's not unsound, but it's inelegant. A runtime system designed this way only understands your program in a statistical sense (based on concrete execution profiles, which may vary from one run to another), never with the full certainty that static analyses (type checking, abstract interpretation) can give you.

> how many of the bugs in your code turned out to be compiler bugs, vs how many were ultimately your mistakes?

Of course, most were my mistakes. But the very reason why those bugs made it into the final executable is the lack of powerful static analyses in the first place. Curiously enough, when I use languages that make static analyses possible, I write programs with less bugs and they perform better without relying on fancy runtime system tricks.

Sorry, can't reply to you guys, because “I'm submitting too fast”. So my replies go here:

@mafribe:

> That's an orthogonal issue.

It's not. Static analyses gather valuable information that can be used to emit efficient code.

> More powerful static analysis is also more time-consuming.

So perform it ahead of time!

> One of the design goals of Javascript JITs is to make web-pages as responsive as possible. That rules out complicated static analysis.

Of course, a browser can't spend much time statically analyzing JavaScript programs, but programs can be statically analyzed (gasp!) before they're deployed.

@smallnamespace:

> Why does that matter to anyone?

Because this implementation technique is unnecessarily complex, and a far simpler alternative exists: Know beforehand what your program has to do. Think before you write code.

> Java and C# are both statically, strongly typed languages where JITs are the dominant implementation.

Their type systems can be easily subverted, so they're not “strongly typed” in my book.

The word fructose comes from the word fruit, it literally means the sugar found in fruits. Most fruits have more fructose than other sugars. A banana has 14 grams of sugar, equivalent to 4 teaspoons of table sugar. If fructose is bad for you then fruits are bad for you, there's no way around it. You can argue that it's ok to eat fruit because it's balanced by the fiber and vitamins, but that's equivalent to saying that fructose is ok in moderation. Which seems to go against the current nutritional science understandings.

Interesting--the higher end numbers on many of these ranges with the fuel light on in an ICE car is further than the best-case range on my EV!

I own an older Nissan Leaf and set it to charge to a maximum of 80% per Nissan's recommendation. That gives me an indicated range of 68 miles when I start my trips. Range is never an issue for me personally (and we have a gas car for long drives) but I tell people that if they are the type to stress about driving around town with a fuel light on, they should avoid shorter-range EVs like the Leaf.

Censorship often comes from different sides of the political spectrum. In the USA, sexual censorship comes from mostly the right, but increasing from the left as well--exploiting women, perpetuating rape culture, etc.

Violence censorship often comes from the left. Democrats used to lead the way on banning violent video games, etc.

"Hate speech" censorship comes from the left too.

Whoever is in power tends to seek to bad seditious speech.

And the right usually wants to censor blasphemous speech.

It's a mixed bag.
This is partly true: You can reduce particulates, but they're still bad in areas with a lot of less-emitting vehicles. Also, the technology that reduces particulates needs to be carefully maintained to continue working as well as it did the day the vehicle left the factory... and there's plenty of incentive to cheat, in order to save money.
"Even the simple act of driving with a low amount of fuel in your tank can damage your fuel pump, as any debris or contamination in the gas (which naturally settles at the bottom of the tank), will be sent through your fuel pump when the tank is nearly empty."

The best example in the book is how interior designers need a required 4 yr bachelor diploma, pass a difficult test, and buy a licence, in order to choose what furniture and paint colors will look best in a persons living in Florida. Similar regulations exist for cutting/styling hair. Or cutting nails professionally.

So, would you like to compare to how long an apprenticeship you'd have to serve, or what hoops you'd have to jump through and payments you'd have to make, to get into a skilled-trade guild in the golden old days?

Or look at the 'Burkini' ban happening in France right now.

Sumptuary laws and other regulations on clothing are millennia old.

21 million people are working for the US government alone. That's 16% of employed people and not counting the massive amount of private industry that works directly off of gov contracts (particularily significant in the defense industry). So it's probably closer to ~20%. More than all Fortune 500 companies combined.

In a feudal society 100% of people worked for either the government or the church. 16% is a nice downsize from that.

I guess so... Google's mapping cars have expensive sensors that won't make it into production cars. And if they partner with a single auto manufacturer or buy up Lyft, they will have just as much data as Tesla has.
Since when is it normal for a mainstream COMPANY (since you feel it's worth shouting about this must be the crux of your argument) to interfere with how people use its products based on fundamentalist ideologies?

It's not something people should expect the happen, and in most civilized countries, we protect consumers against such unreasonable interference. Because we live in actual democracies, not in someones libertarian wet dream.

If Facebook promoted itself as the platform for Christian fundamentalist conservatives, fine. At least that would be honest, and give people a clear choice up front.
> Outliers never come out and talk about their compensation to be frank.

No TRUE Google product is original, gotcha.
>>Since Tesla must understand this effect, I resent them using this a marketing term since they can exploit the misunderstanding while not being technically wrong.

I resent that you're accusing Tesla of intentionally misleading the public on what the feature does.

The car issues very obvious and repetitive warnings to the driver to explain the shortcomings of the technology and what the driver has to do to compensate. If the driver fails to act in accordance with the warnings, the car turns off the feature.

I mean, I dunno. To me, it looks as if Tesla has already gone above and beyond to communicate accurately, and the main reason they're pushing things even further is because of the intense media scrutiny on Tesla accidents (which the incumbent manufacturers probably love).

Actually probably one of the best simple ones is Scholarpedia's article: in particular it covers one of the things that are kind of at the periphery of a non-applied statistician's mind when using cumulants: how the log-normal distribution serves as a handy counterexample to just about everything you'd like to prove about them (e.g. with some tweaking you can prove that the log-normal distribution's cumulant expansion is not unique, therefore you have an injection from PDFs to cumulants, not a surjection).

Something I've never seen rigorously explored: Cumulants appeared in my Master's work in condensed matter, where they at times seemed to have a mysterious tie to Feynman diagrams; that is, there seems to be some sort of analogy between how the Nth cumulant "subtracts out" all of the components of the Nth moment which are just products of the previous N-1 moments to obtain something "additive", and a Feynman diagram containing a vertex joining N particles. In particular Feynman diagrams for pairwise interactions seemed to be eerily similar to cumulant expansions which did not have any 3rd or higher moments. I confess I totally forgot this until I Googled today and saw a question on Math Overflow about it, but it was too sketchy to show me a real satisfying resolution of my mental curiosity. Similarly I remember seeing Young tableaux in some lecture notes on cumulants and then the day after I was working with Marcin Dukalski on some crazy approach he was taking in his thesis, and he spontaneously started talking about "hm, what do the Young tableaux look like for that?" and I was only able to help at all because of some limited understanding from the previous day's reading! So... there's definitely some mathematical resonances when you get to quantum theory.
My wife and I now refer to this phenomenon as "getting oculused". When you come up with an amazing moonshot project, make a ton of amazing progress, and then, from an apparent outside perspective, completely stop making progress, at which point your competitors start from scratch, surpass you, and get to market first with something that has more features.

Are there other big examples in history of this phenomenon? When a company announces a lot of genuinely pioneering progress at something, and then is immediately beaten to market by a competitor who was paying close attention and moving more nimbly?

I don't think there is universal agreement on what the better alternatives are. If there were, comments like these would list them. There are however worse examples for desktop development never the less used on the desktop like VBA, java, adobe air, scala.

As with so many choices, there is a trade off. If it were possible to point to some system that is unambiguously better on all axes than javascript and its ecosystem, then you'd have a point, but since there isn't, we're back to arguing trade offs, and really, getting upset about the tools other people choose to make things is a pretty fruitless use of time and energy. If people really want to encourage others to move, they'd be better evangelising the solutions they love than berating people for choosing what they choose.
