It's a mathematical definition, of course it will break down a bit when you introduce it into the real world. I guess a more pragmatic definition would be "The ability for a runtime to delay, or repeat the execution of a function (with its arguments), and always get the same result".

I'll tell you what's not cheap: implementing the emissions cuts that governments want us to swallow without nuclear power. We'd have to substantially reduce energy consumption because the politically-acceptable forms of alternative energy simply cannot meet our demand. And we're actually so stupid that these deals allow our geopolitical enemies to continue to grow their emissions while we are forced to cut ours, allowing them to more quickly overtake us in economic and political power.

Just another way the greatest civilization in the history of the world is suddenly intent on throwing it all away.

Supersymmetry and String Theories.

Two theories that are not even not even wrong.

Their proponents dance and shift in the prevailing intellectual currents such that there's no possibility they could EVER be proven wrong.

There's no null result, no complete experimental failure, that could ever possibly convince them they might, just might, have made an error.

Honest question because I bet there would be at least some market for a new Commodore keyboard made to the same spec but just a USB keyboard that you could use for nostalgia, aesthetics, or for a more accurate emulation experience.

I think part of the appeal of high capacity cards is that you spend less time fumbling with cards. A 1TB card would probably last an entire day of shooting HD video. As an amateur photographer, I generally keep 2 extra SD cards on hand but they're backups and not used. I don't think I've ever filled up the 64GB card that I shoot with and at the end of the day I move off what was shot. If I'm shooting on vacation I'll generally leave a copy of the images on the card so that I have 2 copies floating around but I've yet to fill up the card.

This card probably isn't targeting the consumer market. I think smartphone cameras have cannibalized much of the Point-and-Shoot camera and PVR market. That being said, I think most consumers purchase one SD card when they buy their camera and it's the only card that camera ever sees.
(This is not disagreement with RyanCavanaugh; it's a question for expansion by the community.)

It seems like Perl 6 is trying to implement pluggable grammars that work like that. Can anyone here familiar with the Perl 6 ecosystem comment on how it's going over there? Can you feasibly write a module with 5 or 6 different grammar extensions? What's it like? My understanding of the situation has matched what RyanCavanaugh expressed here for a while, and I'm curious if people's experiences match it or not.

Ask HN: How illegal does the code have to be before you refuse to deploy?
Context: I work in the US.

During code review, I noticed that we were putting a registered trademark symbol after our product name, and I didn't know if our company had gone through the appropriate approval process yet, and so should be using the unregistered trademark symbol. This seems to me pretty benign, plus IANAL, so I just made a note in code review that we should look into that, and moved on.

The company has legal counsel. I feel it'd be inappropriate for me to do more than make a note, and that management & legal are taking care of the business.

But there is line where I'd refuse to deploy code, for either ethical or legal reasons (nobody wants to be that Volkswagen engineer). Anybody have some thoughts or good resources?
> You stop feeling depressed, or you stop feeling overwhelmed (at least a little bit). That's why you stop.

Could be. Another problem would be doubt: Is there any value in what I do? With some goals like loosing weight it is obvious. But how about: should I write that book?

The method is very efficient no matter what you do. That is, you approach your goal with 100 miles/hour and not walking speed. If at some point it becomes clear that you followed the wrong goal you wasted a good amount of energy. I think knowing this can paralyze you.
Biological GPGPU?
I get what you're saying, and it is a concern, but there is a decent argument (to me, anyway) that with 1TB you probably won't be taking the card out to be fumbling with it in the first place. Even with on-location shooting, "I filled up a 1TB card, I need to archive it" is probably a good reason for a lunch break.

Functional programming is quite old and I wouldn't call it a trend. I'd say it's more like an industry getting better at its craft, similar to the transition toward strong typing.
I'm having really big expectations on seL4. The modularity of a microkernel with the security of formal methods is something that would give hope of solving some really fundamental problems with the "IoT scene". I.e. having good security out of the box (which is horrible in IoT as of now), while still maintaining good flexibility regarding platforms (which will become more and more of a problem in the future when IoT devices start actually proliferating).

Edit: oh, and you can still run seL4 as hypervisor and run Linux on top of it to get the usual Embedded Linux stack where your CPU has enough juice. And still keep the critical systems safe behind seL4's capability system. Best of both worlds? Dunno, hopefully seL4 will be there someday in production quality.
Even putting aside the barely-addressed question of whether it's even still possible to sign up for and use dialup internet service, I think we all knew the answer to this question already. Nonetheless, it's sobering to be reminded how much bandwidth we take for granted. (The answer is no, you can't use the internet on dialup. At least not the same internet everybody else is using.)

I get your point but it's absurd to call V1 - V3 an "algebra area". We actually do have a thing called "primary visual cortex" and mental calculations are known to exploit a number of existing functional areas (visual word-form area, primary visual cortex, etc).

My suspicion is that maintaining a call centre is more expensive than using progressive enhancement... but it's a fair question.

You're also assuming that starting from a simple HTML implementation is more expensive than other methods. I'm not sure that's the case.

Bitcoin Is Real Money, Judge Rules in J.P. Morgan Hack
I made the title match the URL by adding "5C" specifically. Ars sometimes changes titles around after publishing and in this case I think having "5C" specified is important as that appears to be the only model that was actually tested. In the arxiv paper, Section VI. "Future Work", the author writes:

>The iPhone 5c device being analyzed in this research project was far from the latest Apple phones. Since then several new models were introduced such as iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and 6s, iPhone SE and iPhone 7. However, iPhone 5s and 6 use the same type of NAND Flash memory devices. It would be logical to test them against mirroring.

Which seems to me to show that only the 5C has been tried, and the 5C lacks the Secure Enclave. Somewhat to my surprise the SE isn't mentioned in the paper at all, so I'm not sure this actually is applicable to later model iPhones as the author assets based purely on NAND type. The replay counter is stored within the SE itself [1], so mirroring the Flash should be useless in terms of gaining additional manual input attempts, and thus of rapidly diminishing importance as older iPhones cycle out of working use.

If this applies only to older devices it's still worth a bit of notice though as it contradicts what the FBI said earlier in the year, and as there are plenty of older devices still around. The iPhone 5C itself was only completely discontinued worldwide this past February (in India, discontinued elsewhere Sept 2015), and iPads tend to be held onto longer then iPhones, so anyone using those in a situation where they may face significant threat of physical attack should keep in mind that they should use an alphanumeric full passcode, even though since the 5C lacks Touch ID it's less convenient and can't cover the same gamut of threat profiles.

understood. thank you.
A little oversight can make it very hard to steal the full $3 billion. Sure you can walk away with say 200 million, but at that point going for big money is much more attractive. Or better yet skim 100 million and go for 5.5 billion.

PS: There is also no need for green specific finance solar and wind are already cheaper than coal without subsides in much of the world. And they are only getting cheaper so that 90 trillion is going to be 80 trillion before you know it.
Vehicles are regulated at the federal level. That doesn't preclude states from applying additional regulation, such as the California emission standards.
> Google's up to 1.5 million miles driven with no fatalities.

Has the Google car driven on a Bulgarian road late at night, rain pouring down, with no road-markups, with lorries coming your way and blinding you every couple of minutes? I did that yesterday, and after those moments when I was trying to guess "what is the actual road?" I was thinking that there's no way in hell a computer program would be able to manage that unless full-AI becomes a thing.
It's true that you can somewhat increase your overall return by deferring capital gains taxes because you get to hold on to the assets you would have paid in taxes longer and those assets can earn a return for you (this is why certain types of tax advantaged retirement accounts are nice). But I think you are significantly overstating the potential gains when you say that you can save 10% a year.

For example let's say you have $1000. Tax rates are 15% and annual investment returns are 8%.

Under strategy A you sell and pay taxes at the end of every year. Under strategy B you only sell at the end of 30 years and pay taxes all at once.

Under strategy A you will end up with $6,738.55. Under strategy B you will end up with $8,069.6 which is about 20% more.

20% more is a lot so that's a strategy worth thinking about! But it's not reducing your tax bill anywhere close to 0.

In fact you actually pay more in total taxes under strategy B in nominal terms (and about the same in real terms assuming 2% inflation) because you have more overall gains.

Overall, I agree that deferring tax payments can be a very useful thing to do. I just dispute your statement that "Push it off long enough (without interest or fees) and you pay arbitrarily close to 0% tax rate." That's simply not true.
As a root FS, agreed. As an expansion, I have had really good luck with the 256GB microSD card in a low-profile SD adapter on my MBP. When I'm doing screencasts or whatever, I happily dump my recordings out to it and, as silly as it is, it's one of my favorite pieces of tech right now.
I don't know anything about Soros' intentions, but there are many reasons besides PR to create a fund like this. Refugees have a complicated nationality status, which can exclude them from the global economy. A fund such as this could specialise in working around those limitations.
> It is critical that people question “how does this magic actually work?”

No. It's critical that people question “why do I have to rely on magic?” in the first place. Even in high-level languages, perhaps especially in high-level languages, it's a good idea to write straightforward code.

> there is an appalling lack of candy in the C/C++ ecosystem (...) performance isn’t hidden

C and C++ are very different languages, and there is no shortage of C++ libraries full of incomprehensible magic. When debugging template-heavy C++ code, it can be very hard to determine where expensive and unnecessary object copies are created. Thank you C++, for making copy construction implicit!

> Are you producing too much garbage unnecessarily?

The high-level programmer's best defense against creating too much garbage is programming with values (whose redundant representations in memory can be automatically deduplicated by the runtime system) rather than object identities.

> Are your dictionaries too big to the point of being inefficient?

The problem isn't the dictionary abstraction, but rather the implementor's choice of underlying data structure. If you have a really big dictionary whose keys are strings (a common use case), you want tries, not hashtables.

> string concats can be replaced by string builders in the same amount of lines,

Using string builders is a low-level chore, and defeats the point to using a high-level language. A better alternative is using a persistent list/string data structure that actually supports efficient concatenation.

> Does your program start ad-hoc threads? Use a threadpool with fixed size.

Again, too low-level. A programmer working with a high-level language should be able to spawn as many green threads as she wants to, and let the language's runtime system handle multiplexing those green threads over OS threads.

> Unless you are 100% sure the lines are always of reasonable size, do not use readline.

This is terrible advice. If readline is causing you problems, you are using the wrong string data structure.

Why is solar a, "feel-good pipe-dream?"

It appears that Elon Musk is implementing an impactful, practical energy alternative driven by solar. I think the long-term view, going beyond the Tesla Master Plan part 2, and combined with Solar City, is a next-generation, green, alternative, renewable energy company.

Energy portfolio diversity is important, but as battery and solar capture technology improves it will be one path towards a foundation of renewable energy.

Nuclear and hydro, are relevant and important, but why dismiss one of the areas that has far-reaching, clear, practical benefits?
> There we called the matrix A “a web matrix,” noted it was column stochastic (as it is here), and appealed to a special case of the Perron-Frobenius theorem to show that there is a unique maximal eigenvalue equal to one (with a dimension one eigenspace) whose eigenvector we used as a sort of “stationary distribution” and the final ranking of web pages.

You're reading stuff into my comment that I didn't write.

"Wording aside" is exactly my point. Women might agree with some of the ideas there, but I haven't heard any express them in that way. I have seen men express them in that way.
Agreed. Between this and dropped support for Moto G/E, Google is proving to be super flaky, and which has diminished my desire to invest in any of their hardware.
What would you go with instead? I am also a Nexus 5 user looking for an upgrade of some sort.
Storage is the key. There are a lot of places where renewables aren't stable enough and storage just isn't achievable yet on the grid scale. Lots of exciting work in this area and it's interesting to see where things are heading however I think nuclear is underfunded and could have a much more positive role in our energy needs. Maybe it's the BNFL ad's as a kid imprinted in my mind.
Pitfalls of TSC usage
Yup, California ruins everything for the rest of us. They are the reason we can't have nice things. One notable example are the CA regulations on gasoline cans, which have driven out the design that worked well and replaced it with "spill-proof" designs that are terrible and, ironically, much easier to spill with.
Cause people be sane.
A lot of safety features and emissions requirements are regulated at the federal level.
Don't pure functions come with the disclaimer that no one does anything stupid like overriding the Date constructor or valueOf?

Otherwise, we have to either come up with a different name for pure functions with a modified meaning, or write a bunch of absolutely ridiculous defensive code in every single function we want to truly be pure.
And it is a massive problem.

For example vehicle window tinting laws vary wildly from state to state (and arguably they're more liberal in states that get hotter, and more restrictive in states with gang issues) so you can own a vehicle that is legally tinted in your home state, but gets ticketed when it crosses a state border.

Daylight running lights are another example, some states require them, while others do not. So you can buy a brand new vehicle which could get ticketed since it lacks DRLs.
That's not accurate. They seem more concerned that every bit of power given to government to do something right will eventually be used to do something wrong.
