A bit of both. Hubble can have single exposures that are hundreds of seconds long - but remember it's in low orbit, so eventually the subject will fall beneath the horizon. Most Hubble observations stitch together exposures from multiple orbits. Ultra Deep Field is an extreme example which comprises ~a million seconds of exposure over 400 orbits: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Ultra-Deep_Field
This is a different question though - one of penalties rather than one of restoration.
Minification does things like rename variables to single characters, remove dead code, optimize code in a number of ways, inline constants, shorten if statements, unroll loops, hoist variables, rewrite comparisons, and more.

It is compilation in just about every sense of the word (especially when combined with a compiler like babel or typescript)

Yes, it's not obfuscation, but neither is webasm.

Of course, the only support you can easily outsource is that which can be script-based. Fine if you're a cable company or bank, not so much if you're a startup.

Outsourcing support for early adopters and corporate users will gut your ability to address feature requests from guinea-pigging users.
Is the position available for part-time?
aren't people (and all living organisms) the quintessential example of a local decrease in entropy that results in greater overall entropy?

Yes, but that's not what the person you replied to was saying. They were pointing out that there can be a global, absolute decrease in entropy, it's just statistically very unlikely.

I love the "this isnt news" argument. "You shouldnt care about collusion revealed by Wikileaks/whoever because everyone kind of already knew about it."

"This is how the 'real world' works" Another bs argument. Yes. Those who have been paying attention already know what Assange is talking about. That does not excuse Google in any way.

"Don't be evil" is a pretty low bar to set. And Google is so corrupted at this point they can't even "live up to their founder's original intentions".
Doesn't evaporative cooling work against the second law somehow? There is a system with some average temperature, and spontaneously enough entropy is created to cause some of the liquid to reach boiling temperature and leave the system, which decreases the average temperature of the liquid.
A cool experience. Save me time to draw seq chart.
We definitely tried to keep the estimates reasonable. For SF we've found that a lot of companies prefer onshore, albeit out of state, for staffing their support.

I didn't see this reply for 3 days so the conversation is probably over, but I think they never actually showed AR promos for the Glass (not at all like Hololens for example). The nerds being excited about it seemed to be excited for AR on Glass was just them jumping ahead to the assumed conclusion rather than what they were showing with the tech (which was more "video chat and phone notifications anywhere" even in their ukulele-music-backed promo videos)
Why do you make new accounts?
"closed physical system" being the operative word.

Mass and energy is leaving, thus the average temp decreases but so does the particle count.

This joins generators[1][2][3] (Andy Wingo) and arrow functions[4][5] (Adrian Perez de Castro, Andy Wingo) as examples of the community (read: not employees of Mozilla, Google, Apple, Microsoft) directly working on the engines to ship these features much sooner than they otherwise would be. (Surely they'd land eventually, but acceleration and cross-engine coordination greatly improves time-to-dev-market.)

dplyr abstracts away so much bullshit... they're not even playing the same sport. Pandas brought R-style data.frames to Python; dplyr makes databases, data.tables, etc. all behave the same. Out-of-memory, in-memory, all the abstractions just work the same.

Oh and it's fast as shit (the tight loops are in C++).

I worked with bare NAND flash on embedded system. NAND flash doesn't work like RAM where you have address pin that cover the entire space. For NAND flash, you have to send a read command with the address you want to read the data from. There are various kind of read command, one of them is auto-increment read, where you can keep reading the data and once the end of the block is reached it will load the next one.

> There is a key point about the demon that when he is 'sorting' the particles into two bulbs or rooms, that the gate he is working on is frictionless.

Exactly. Maxwell's Demon is a magical construct. In reality, any active device that sorts molecules into high and low energy bins would take power to run, and would generate more heat (or other entropy) than it removed by doing the sorting.

The Control/Command placement is _perfect_.

I get all my unix commands on Control (emacs keybindings everywhere including ctrl+a to go to the beginning of the line, ctrl+c to SIGINT), and all my GUI commands on Command (cmd+a to select all, cmd+c to copy). Meanwhile in other OSes, how to copy/paste depends on what app you have open.

(And meanwhile I get accents and special characters on Option, while non-ASCII input is a mess in other OSes)

The package manager isn't preinstalled, but installing Homebrew is really straightforward, and if not having something installed by default is a problem, I don't know any OS that does any better.

I am not sure you've used Linux if you think "everything is just there already" is an accurate description of it... Do modern Ubuntu versions even come with gcc built-in? Maybe you have some obscure distro that bundles literally everything, but using a package manager is seriously not very hard.

Ten years ago, when I tried to switch from Windows to Linux, the defaults were ridiculous, and I bricked the install trying to make it usable (I messed up a poorly-documented config file trying to set up multiple monitors). Meanwhile, ten years ago, multiple monitors worked out of the box when I switched from Windows to Mac OS X, and everything else had sensible defaults.

Like one year ago, the last time I touched Linux, I tried Ubuntu again, and when I plugged in an NTFS drive, it told me something was wrong and it needed to be mounted in read-only mode. It didn't tell me how to mount it in read-only mode. It didn't have a button for mounting it in read-only mode. I had to google for it and type in an obscure terminal command. Meanwhile, I can plug in an NTFS drive to Windows and it just works, no need to touch Google.

Well in many cases, the product itself is not snake oil, it's just not as good as it's being sold. I work at a vendor and the product I work with has some unhappy customers who were over-sold and promised the moon when we're actually just a telescope. Being able to see the moon is great, but when it's priced like a moon landing and sold like 40 acres of prime lunar real estate, your telescope looks a little lackluster. And your boss just spent $3m on it, they don't want to hear "now we need to buy all these add-ons, plus we still need a couple more tools to shore up the defenses.

The developers (not me) are just writing the best product they can. The sales guys are trying to get sales. The pricing guys are trying to make it profitable. And no one is talking to anyone else, so the developers don't know what features sales is claiming, sales doesn't know the developers roadmap, and pricing... I don't even know who sets the price.

The article itself says:

> There’s a generic function in the standard library called `Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation`, which frees memory to the heap.

A systems language without a safe resource finalization story is simply an unsafe language. This isn’t some fringe use case. Finalizing resources is a common operation in systems programming.

Other “benefits” of Ada just consist in bloating the core language with stuff that can be reasonably done in libraries: bounds checking (in ML, this is just a functor that produces an abstract type of bounds-checked integers), concurrency abstractions (as Rust has shown), etc.
Not entirely true - I can understand you like R, but Pandas+Numpy is fantastic.

"DSL for figuring out things aa quick as possible " is a religious statement. I suggest you spend some time on the Python side to understand how good it is.

However I can quantify some of what you said - that tge ecosystem of analytics libraries is bigger in CRAN. I agree with that... however at this point, the only library I really miss is dplyr.

Headphones are analog devices. Analog devices need an analog input.

Most of the best headphone companies are not experts in digital-analog conversion. Nor should they need to be, because having a separate usb audio interface built into every set of headphones is a stupid idea.

It's fine if all you want to use is the absolute crap Apple earbuds, but for people like me who have spent a lot of money on nice headphones, it's ridiculous. If you want to use quality headphones or IEMs, they don't come with USB connectors, and I pray they never need to because that's a stupid idea.

I don't care either way because I hate Apple's business practices and would never purchase their products, but I think Apple will have to backflip on their "courage" on this one.

Even people drinking the Apple kool-aid seem to be angry about this headscratcher. Maybe the base of people who care about what headphones they use won't be large enough to change their "courageous" minds though. Apple doesn't care about professionals and they don't care about audiophiles. I think especially antagonizing the professional market will hurt them in the medium term.

I'd like you to be right, but I don't think you are.

There's a big difference between style transfer in art vs. literature or code. In art, it's ok to get close enough, laymen will forgive a lot of noise. A lossy painting is still a painting.

With great literature, every word is carefully chosen. You can't take something like Franz Kafka and randomly fuzz it, you'll destroy hidden features which differentiate it from the mediocre.

With code it's even harder. There's almost zero room for noise, a stray period throws it completely off.
It's not really a property of a functional or strongly typed language. Trees are trivial to define and iterate over in e.g. Prolog or Erlang as well. The essential thing here is the first class support for structured/abstract data types.
In other words, part of the problem. The coders get all the perks, the free sodas, stock options, the high salaries, etc. The front line employees get a commute from Stockton and an opportunity for an extra dollar an hour wage next year, unless there's a wage freeze.
