So the argument is that the bad-effects of top-level await are viral. One bad apple in the app entry point's dependency graph stalls evaluation of the main entry point. And to mitigate this risk, you have to segregate out sub-graphs that you safely load via imperative import().

Doesn't the same risk apply if one of the modules in the graph declaratively imports a module hosted on a slow external CDN?
I find this with myself. I have articles I want to write and large lists of stuff on index cards on my wall that I want to create.

Every time I come to Hackernews or Slashdot or Reddit, I really should be going to my editor and writing or picking a card off the wall and finishing that thing I want to do.

Obviously, right now, I'm failing. :-P
I also just realized/remembered that the leading cause of death for children, particularly teenagers, is automobile accidents.

Surely whatever dangers kids are exposed to in cities absolutely pale in comparison to the increased risk of car accidents caused by living in the suburbs, where virtually every outing requires a lengthy trip by car.
I watched the video until the guy criticized a company called "Cruise" for allowing itself to be bought by GM. He called it a "sell out." And not in a good way.

I guess I thought that the acquisition exit strategy was considered ok in SV.

Dunno. Why is that a point of criticism?
Often the administrators are former or current faculty themselves. I've seen a professor hold a position as head of the university technology department(a non-academic support role) and teach classes. VPs, Deans, department heads, leaders of various "Centers of Excellence", leaders of various initiatives, Provosts, and even Presidents can be former faculty.

The former professors just view their role as administrator as another step up the academic ladder. There's even a website poking fun at university titles:

they have more free time in small towns because usually your grandparents and parents and in-laws live close by and will help with babysitting (often people these days are only children, so plenty of parents/grandparents available to help), cleaning and cooking, not to mention that in general you live within ~10 minutes commute of your workplace.

North America is a lot more "everybody fends for themselves" than Europe, I mean, here parents will charge rent to their kids and nobody bats an eye, so forget about free babysitting and/or your mom coming over to clean your place and leaving your fridge stocked with leftovers. Not to mention living in sprawly cities with huge commutes in general...
> Which is why trying to maintaining a blacklist of bad things ("enumerating badness") is destined to fail.

Unfortunately it's also why "enumerating goodness" is destined to fail. It's like the instructions for securing a computer: Dig a deep hole, put the computer in the hole, throw a live grenade in the hole, and now the computer is secure.

It's not enough to be secure, it also has to do the thing the user wants it to do. If it doesn't then the users (and developers who are after the users' patronage) will figure out how to make it happen anyway, which means bypassing your validation one way or another.

The flaw is in the assumption that immediately denying something the user wants is more secure than not immediately denying something the user doesn't want, which is flawed because of the second order effects.

If the thing you put in front of Alice to prevent Mallory from sending bad things also prevents Bob from sending good things, Alice and Bob are going regard your validation as adversarial and get together to devise an alternate encoding for arbitrary data that will pass your validation. Which information theory says they can always do at the cost of some space inefficiency. But as soon as Alice starts accepting unvalidated data using that encoding method, it allows Mallory to send malicious data to Alice that will pass your validation.

The solution is to do validation as soon as possible but no sooner. If you don't know what something is but it could be valid, you have to let it go so that the thing downstream which actually does know can make that determination itself.

I mean I get how we got here. Some things that should be doing validation don't do it well or at all, and then people try to put validation in front of them to make up for it. But if you do that and reject something the endpoint wants (or you're e.g. stubbornly enforcing an older protocol version) then new endpoint code is going to pay the cost of encoding around you, which is expensive in efficiency and complexity and deprives you of the ability to do the validation you are equipped to do.

If the downstream code isn't doing validation correctly then it has to be fixed where it is.

> If you haven't, you should really watch the talk I linked to initially.

I don't think anything I'm saying is strongly in conflict with it. You can validate against a grammar and still treat part of the data as a black box. Obvious example is validating an IP packet without assuming anything about the payload structure.
Wolf - you can be sociable. Trust me. Anyone can.

It simply takes practice.

Popular kids have been 'honing' their social skills literally since they were 4 years old. They have been paying attention to other people.

Notice how the sociable kids might have done more poorly in class, whereas the introverts maybe did better? The sociable kids are attuned to relationships. While your thoughts were on the math problem, theirs were on 'how xyz is not paying attention to me, and why'.

There are people you can hang out with. If you try to stay 'in the present' and actually practice paying attention to their thoughts and emotional signals, they will like you.

Unless you literally have autism, there's a 100% chance that you can be sociable. Also - take heart with the fact that most people find it difficult to interact with others. Want to know a secret: many extroverts, who are socially attuned, are actually quite nervous among others, always watching what they say, being deliberate with their actions. So don't feel alone. You're in the majority.

>They were running this weird fake dialog in the background.

it seems to be a pattern how they run plausible deniability and can do whatever they want - one policeman may "see" something, like a gun, and announce it thus providing the other with full legal reason to act, i.e. shoot in the case of gun. If that "seeing" by the first happens to be just a mistake, such mistake can never be punished until proven that it was intentional, i.e. never. Such pattern is even completely resistant to body cameras.

This eventually became a liability for Mark Zuckerberg; some of his earliest TV interviews went really, really badly. IIRC, Zuck hired a public speaking instructor, had Jesse Eisenberg open various internal and external speaking events for him (such as the keynote for F8 around this time), started having lunches with employees to practice talking to them in Chinese, etc.
It is me or this roadmap has nothing that excites as an user? I can't even relate to anything that I would be actively using on GitHub. Compared to this what GitLab had few days ago was pretty right on the dot and I can see how their new features would benefit my workflow and make me much more productive.
The Nordic countries probably. Throw in Holland or Germany maybe. Another commenter said there's a bit less room for speech and press but you you're not constant target of police and government.

Great interface interface to GANs. Nice work
That theory is Facebook's practice. Four years later and we're on GraphQL API version 1. We add things which is safe, deprecate fields which we want to remove, and delete when hit rates drop to 0.

Granted, our clients are all Facebook engineers, so we have some pull in helping the migration away from deprecated fields, and GitHub will have to find the right process which works for a broader set of API consumers, but not only is this theory a good one, it's considered GraphQL best practice.

I like how even the author doesn't try to call it a great game. It is just what it is, and nothing more; a lovely anti-RPG with some unusual humor, and very hit or miss gameplay. I personally really enjoyed it, but a lot of the criticisms of it are perfectly valid.

I think the music really makes the game work. Especially in the early areas, if it weren't for the positively cheerful atmosphere (which the music completely sells) the moral conflict of fighting the enemies wouldn't have worked nearly as well. Plus, you really only get to pull off the amazing ending (which I will not spoil) on the first playthrough. It's just completely out of left field.

I'd love to see a sequel, or at least more games from Toby in a similar style, but I also feel like Undertale, despite its few flaws, exists as a complete experience and requires no further commentary. I would be totally cool with him riding its popularity to move his gaming career in a different direction.

AFAICT it really depends on which Canadian city you're in, the VPD and TPS are not the RCMP after all, and whether or not you appear to be native, black, or a prostitute. Still, you don't want to catch the attention of an officer; they are an agent of state force capable of incredible violence.

But I agree that, in general, Canadian police forces are nowhere near as bad as major metropolitan forces in the USA.

>soft sci fi is the usual boring eternal "human condition" story thats been told a million times before, but maybe if I put space ships in as my gimmick I can sell more copies.

This is a pretty unfair description of the category. Soft scifi is a story that has fantastical tech/physics that aren't completely explained. The tech is usually crucial to the story in some way, but the how of the tech's functioning is left unsaid. I find it unlikely that you've somehow lived through the entire range of events and emotions that can comprise the "human condition", but that aside: a lot of the soft scifi stories out there are focused around hypothetical inhuman conditions for which the fantastical tech is crucial. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is focused on whether artificial sentience is less worthy than organic, Whedon's Dollhouse on the potential personal and societal ramifications of being able to save/load our brains digitally, Ancillary Justice on what it might feel like to have your consciousness simultaneously inhabiting multiple bodies, "The Measure of a Man" from TNG on what it means to be sentient and if artificial sentience is possible (or even possible to measure once achieved), Her exploring how a truly sentient AI would relate to humans and impact our society. There are a lot of vague stories out there that use spaceships as an attention-grabber, but that isn't what defines the genre.
Do you think this reflects more on this particular employer or unlimited time off policy?

Javascript is in somewhat of a weird neverland currently. I really want to use this style of library -- mori, Ramda and others are extremely tempting, and fantasy-land (/static-land, which is more up my alley) are doing great work.

... but, all these libraries are huge. I feel guilty foisting hundreds of kilobytes of JS on my users, just so I can write code that I feel is slightly more elegant. I'm avidly waiting for tree-shaking/jsnext:main to truly take hold, and make these tools more practical.

Gripes aside, congratulations to the Fantasy Land team :).
The nerd kid thinks this behavior is what makes someone an unreliable asshole in the first place.

The graph correlates with my first reactive speculation: graphs in newspapers became more common with the publication of USA Today [first published 1982]. The inclusion of graphs was one of the its striking features -- liberal use of color was another and vacuous reporting a third.

What is especially worrying (as partially evidenced by the OP) is that it's difficult--if not impossible, due to the proliferation of secret laws and secret courts--to know what is legal, both for oneself and for the government. Most people are not willing to test the legality of the no-fly list, so they will self-censor to avoid the risk of being added to it. The recent raid of Tor exit node operators in Seattle is enough to discourage future operators even if the raid was illegal. The government leverages a massive power and information asymmetry in the ability to argue its case in court and in the consequences for breaking the law.
Thing is, Emacs beat vim at extensibility, and vim's been playing catchup in that area ever since. Also, geiser is really, really good.

When editing lisp in the original vi's Lisp mode, ( and ) operate over sexprs, { and } don't stop at atoms, moving you to the next sexpr, [[ and ]] skip to the next sexpr at top level, and if you set autoindent, your code is indented correctly for lisp.

Combined with vi's other operators, this is pretty good, although by no means as good as actual paredit.
No matter how many times you claim I'm offended, that doesn't actually mean I was offended. Why do you keep making that claim?

> the only thing anyone said is that saying that there are "Tesla Fanboys" doesn't intrinsically mean that some one is biased against Tesla.

Implying that anyone who brings up those legitimate points is a tesla "fanboy" does in fact imply that you're biased against Tesla. That was my original point. The author didn't say "There exist Tesla 'fanboys'", instead the author very strongly implied that anyone trying to defend Tesla is a fanboy (and thus should be dismissed). You'll notice that after making that list of arguments in favor of Tesla, the author then proceeded to address none of them. After all, why should he, when anyone who makes those arguments is obviously a "fanboy"?

And no, I'm not offended. Why would I be? I'm not a Tesla "fanboy". What I am is annoyed. This kind of behavior is a pet peeve of mine (as are most attempts to dismiss an argument by evading it instead of addressing the points), and I bring it up because most people don't, or even leap to defend this behavior by claiming "but there are fanboys!", even though that argument relies on a logical fallacy (the existence of fanboys that defend the company does not mean that anyone who defends the company is a fanboy).

> Every talk he made about the Model 3

Again, give me a citation. I've searched and found the exact opposite of what you're saying, and linked it. You need to give me an authoritative link, just claiming this repeatedly is meaningless.

> Did you read the article, they expect profitability before the Model 3 arrives, then it would dip until the Model 3 production kicks into full gear, this is almost utter contrast to your original claims of the Model 3 being highly profitable.

Yes I did read the article. And first off, I never claimed it would be "highly profitable", please don't put words in my mouth. And secondly, you apparently either don't understand the article or don't understand my argument. Tesla's going to have a dip because of capital expenditures. These aren't per-unit costs. I said Tesla cannot sell cars at a per-unit loss (which is what I've seen a lot of people claiming over the past year), because they don't have any other way to make it up. But GM can sell the Bolt at a per-unit cost (whether they actually are is irrelevant, I'm not sure we'll know that unless GM tells us) because selling the Bolt allows them to sell more profitable gas-guzzling cars and still meet fuel-economy standards, which is something the article itself even admitted.

> if you think they'll beat the profitability of the large car companies you are really off the beat

Literally nobody has made this argument. I do not appreciate being made into a straw man.
You could add Google Closure Compiler to your pipeline.

The trick to not breaking your build is to know which libraries GCC can optimize without breaking.

The ones it can - browserify them seperately and then ones it cannot - browserify them later.

Its a longer step I agree, but its a small price to pay to be in Fantasy Land :D

Small brains, but corvid and parrot brains have a higher neuron density, with neuron counts comparable to non-human primates such as apes, so it is not too surprising that they can be pretty smart.

I think the most interesting thing about their intelligence is that their brains do not have a prefrontal cortex, which for mammals (including humans) is where much of what we associate with intelligence occurs.

In birds they have a region called the nidopallium in the mid part of the brain that handles those things.

Our last common ancestor with birds was something that lived before the dinosaurs, and would have had little or no higher level cognitive abilities. It would have been operating almost entirely on instinct. It had neither a prefrontal cortex nor a nidopallium. Intelligence did not evolve in birds and mammals until after they split from that common ancestor.

So what we have with intelligence in birds and intelligence in mammals is parallel evolution. With other mammals that are intelligent, such as whales, dolphins, non-human primates, pigs, dogs, etc., they have brains that are essentially the same architecture as ours. We've just got a better implementation. Intelligent birds, on the other hand, are a different architecture.
I started out with a sample-based version in 2011 or so, but the link I posted uses synthesized sounds, in updates I made last year. Have a closer look at the javascript as referenced in index.html and take a look at dr110_synth.js

This is probably most evident if you play a roll on the snare or the handclap. A free-running LFO on the noise sources for these instruments prevents "machine-gunning" like you get when you roll a sample.
