It doesn't make much sense to target Darling as a development platform - like "winelib" - which is why I stick to GPL. I don't want any company to ever use Darling for "porting" their app to Linux, because I consider this an abomination when done with Wine. I think it's fair to say "our app also runs under Wine/Darling", but it's unfair to produce a binary with bundled Wine and say it's a Linux version.

I also want to avoid the inception of businesses providing enhanced Darling for money without releasing the full source code (think Cedega), because in my view, that's akin to a fraud committed on other developers who invested considerable time and didn't ask a dime for it.
Taleb is a Trump like clown. Just because both have the capacity to point of hypocrisy in the system, don't let that misguide you into believing they are qualified to talk about solutions. There is no comparison to Pinker.
Well, at this level, no not really...

However, you could make a stretch connection between this and Dick Cheney if you were trying:

1. take a job that allows you to setup infra and policy for a certain type of relationship

2. foster the field for companies to take advantage of said infra and policies

3. leave to work at company to benefit from said setup...

I doubt thats what is going on here - but it has precedence in politics quite often.

Learn to read code.

Learning to read code is a hell of a lot harder than learning to write it. It takes practice, patience and ultimately a language with a high quality working debugger. Once you learn to read code in one language it isn't hard to learn to read it in another.

Love your IDE/editor, and make sure that you have split views (viewing parts of the same file or two files at once). This feature is essential to being able to read code!

Figure out the difference between "I wouldn't do it that way" and "this code is bad". It isn't terribly hard to leap from one to the other.

Find a mentor! I can't stress this one enough. That guy (or gal though they are rare) pushing fifty who is still an engineer, they are that good, don't want to manage, love their craft, and have seen some shit. They will talk your ear off (probably) for coffee.

Lastly writing code is part of the job, once you have master that learn everything you can about your business. Spend time with accountants, CS people, Systems Admins, the IT guys... they are all going to teach you things that will make you better at your job.
You assume too much. There is frequently no asking. There has been (in my personal experience) a lot of demanding, and (yes) entitlement to expect that an opinion from one is more salient than a fact from another, owing only to the heritage or physical characteristics of those that voiced it.

great questions.

1. you touch upon the right strengths of TF; that was certainly one consideration. edward is designed to address two goals that complement stan. the first is to be a platform for inference research: as such, edward is primarily a tool for machine learning researchers. the second is to support a wider class of models than stan (at the cost of not offering a "works out of the box" solution).

our recent whitepaper explains these goals in a bit more detail:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.09787.pdf

2) no immediate plans. but we have HMC and are looking for volunteers :)

3) same answer as above :) should be relatively easy to implement tempering.

4) this is already in the works! stay tuned!

It's a philosophical red line, really. It's simply not something that belongs to the state, or even to the country. It would be like trying to legislate that the sky was green.

Similarly the metric system - which has actual advantages that mere linguistic change does not, and legal support - has been accepted only very grudgingly. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_Martyrs )

(Doesn't linguistic reform occasionally cause discontinuities in literature? What happens if you want to use a metaphor or turn of phrase that's been forcibly obsoleted?

Like, I might occasionally refer to something as being "tuppence-ha'penny", despite that coin being abolished over thirty years ago.

The article counts characters in documents stored on S3 - which makes sense since S3 is great for storing documents and can handle unlimited concurrency, priced per usage.

But what's the solution for structured data? DynamoDB is the obvious main candidate, but it's billed by hour and high concurrency is very expensive, requiring complicated temporary increases and decreases of concurrency that are hard to predict.

Is there a good solution for running massively parallel lamdas on stuctured data?

Still haven't watched Black Mirror yet. The Uncanny Valley thing was really good. I think it's a plausible scenario at some point with it likely being UAV's first given they have less detail to begin with. Reminds me of a particular scene in Enders Game that ended up being my favorite since it was all around awesome. Wonder if that was the inspiration.
Something I really don't understand about the American system (I'm British) is why anyone could possibly think it's a good idea to make Prosecutors and Judges elected offices!

The whole "tough on crime" narrative is toxic when it plays into electoral politics because it gives prosecutors an incentive to pick fights they know they can win (targeting vulnerable people with limited resources to hire an effective defense) and it rewards judges for portraying themselves as the vengeful defenders of the wronged by imposing unduly harsh sentences.

Seriously? Other countries do just fine with prosecutors and judges who are unelected civil servants, and don't seem to have quite the same track record of excessive victimization of the vulnerable.

Even a quick skim shows several references to shutting up as well as how it's not an ally's place to discuss racism. I frequently see similar idea whenever a discussion of what being an ally is, comes up. I'd say that being an ally is being asked/told to be silent
The number of cases where i have to use a generic memory allocator like malloc in a typical project are extremely rare, so no.

Even if you don't imagine robots becoming self aware and deciding to kill humans on their own, you can imagine a fleet of drones and self-driving tanks controlled by a deep learning network. They don't need to understand what they're doing to make effective tactical decisions.

How many of us are really blessed with the option of having leisure? I can take a list of open jobs and then filter it to part time jobs and watch the list shrink to a tiny fraction of what it was. And these are jobs mainly aimed at piss poor students who could spend a few evening or weekend hours in exchange for some disposable income. The salary is bad, you don't make a living doing these jobs.

If you think most people pay for 100s of apps, you're probably wrong. Get out of the tech bubble, go spend some time with blue collar workers, they probably don't care about that smartphone all that much. The advertisers might've convinced them to buy one, and they might be browsing facebook or news with it, and that's likely the extent of what they know to do with it. And even when they buy apps, or subscribe to netflix, that money is absolutely nothing compared to rent and food and all that. I have a hunch that the thing in their pocket isn't making their life that much better. Look, it's just something people have. And they kinda have to have one. You really might have to get out of the tech bubble to see it.

I think too many people here equate having a job with having a meaningful life or "feeling needed". I truly think we could come up with an infinite amount of bullshit jobs for the entire population, jobs that don't serve any of our basic needs. Jobs you could get kicked out of any time. These jobs are not a gateway to meaningful life, they are a chore people go through so they can afford to pay the bills. These people aren't needed, if they quit, there's always someone else who needs to pay the bills too. If anything, that creates anxiety and makes you feel unneeded.

And if you're unemployed, it's very stigmatising. The society wants to tell that you're a freeloader, a burden, a problem that needs to solve itself. You're unneeded unless you're making money and paying taxes. Up until you're employed, you need to justify your existence to the society at large. You might get enough money to survive, not enough to lead a meaningful life. You can't afford to try and start meaningful endeavors yourself, unless you're a very convincing and charismatic person or willing to take a big risk (or both). Your only hope is getting a job, quite possibly some bullshit job that doesn't really need to be done, and in particular doesn't need to be done by you. If anything, you're the one who has to convince somebody that you're the one who should get to do that job in place of another person. You have to explain the employer why you should be needed (even though they're the ones hiring..).

Telling such a person that he should be happy because he can have mobile apps or netflix or infinite entertainment on youtube is very inconsiderate.

Where are all the four hours or three days a week job opportunities that give people the chance to enjoy more leisure?

I've only read about the experiments, say in Sweden, where some people's day was reduced to six hours, and I remember the workers feeling uncomfortable because other people got envious about it.
> You're taking a huge risk not working for Cisco, Oracle, Google, etc...any of the players you know won't cease to exist overnight.

Hmm. I hadn't thought of it that way. Thenagain, from what I've heard, A players don't hang around any particular company for more than 3 years since they are always looking to bump their paygrade. And despite what startups may ask for in job ads, they are not exclusively hiring superstar code ninja warriors.
As evidenced by you getting downvoted. Oh, HN, I would say "never change" but I already don't expect you to.
You would expect an efficient market to set prices such that they have the same EV as other options, so this is not surprising or disappointing. And you'd expected the median to be a money-loser if there's a skewed distribution.

Yes, but a small fire in the cabin should not spread to the rest of the plane. Plane manafacturers have figured out by now that making seats etc. out of flammable material is not a good idea.

Also, I think it is statistically false that a large fraction of plane crashes are due to fire. In fact I don't even know of a plane crash that was caused by something in the passenger cabin itself catching fire.

Doesn't Docker on Mac run the containers inside a Virtualbox VM running Linux? That should take quite a bit more memory than just running the app directly.
Regardless of how valid or important the criticisms you list are (and there are already several replies tearing them apart point-by-point), I want to say I really appreciate hearing about potential pitfalls in new (and yes, hyped) technologies. If it turns out that none of these criticisms are that important, then that just makes Rust stronger. If they are important, the sooner we find out about them the better (and the Rust team can start addressing them).
What you've heard of, and what's workable and useful, do not necessarily intersect.

I tend to use AWS Windows or Linux machines for work and use the Mac basically for Web browsing, RDP client and occasional Microsoft Office. This has removed my need for a desktop or notebook with more 16MB, effectively lenghting the useful life of my hardware. If I feel I need more RAM (up to 2TB), I just shutdown the AWS instance, change the instance type and start it again. Actually, with this setup, I very rarely have the urge to use my laptop, I have a desktop in the 3 places I usually work from so I'm freed to drag a laptop with me unless I travel.

One can get all of the problems mentioned with allocators other than malloc, up to and including using only the stack.

Also, sure the implementation of another allocator might use a smattering of `unsafe`, but I'm guess that it will be less than you probably expect: one of Rust's biggest is strengths is the ability to build safe interfaces for things without performance cost. One can see an example for this in http://os.phil-opp.com/ where the author is slowly describing creating an operating system, all while concentrating on how to exploit Rust features to let the compiler help the programmer, such as http://os.phil-opp.com/modifying-page-tables.html .
Yes it does include Mexico.
In the Joints of Their Toes: A ruse that gave rise to the spiritualist movement
If you read the article, in at least one instance someone ended up with a broken jaw. That much force is definitely enough to kill someone, it would just depend where they were hit and their baseline health. Imagine a child standing next to the machine when it fell apart. Or an older person getting hit in the head.
A potential issue is that if someone wants a branded helmet-cam, they can apply their brand label to a knock-off model for a lot less coin. For the bundle to be attractive to the consumer, it has to be cheaper than the parts bought separately. These days, folks do extensive price research before spending more than a few bucks on anything.
I'm sorry, I have plenty of gripes about the Rust team touting safety as much as they do but your comment just misses the mark, in my opinion.

To begin with, "safety" isn't solved by just using const. It simply isn't feasible to write safe code in C without restricted feature usage to the point of being crippled. It's much easier in C++, but requires an incredible level of focus and "cruft constructs" like ' 'const &' and such. Arguably until move semantics were standardized with C++11 it was a challenge to write safe code.

I will agree that Rust's developers have perhaps come down too far on the side of "YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING DANGEROUS BY USING A POINTER." But I think you're exaggerating a bit about how hard it is.

Or in fairness a Dell XPS15 which aside from supporting 32GB of RAM (and is orderable with that) has the quad-core i7HQ vs the Macbook Pro's and it's about 500 quid cheaper in the UK.
Heh, spot on.

I'm also hispanic, the lack of diversity in SV and really any other place where you want to point it out (except for maybe the coaching staff of some football program in rural TX, things like that) is due to socioeconomic difference.

I'd take it one step further though and say it's just a difference in culture.

Go to an Indian friend's house and move a book on the floor out of the way with your foot- you will get a nasty glare. Why? Education is incredibly important in their culture and for that reason kicking a book is almost blasphemous to them.

All I'm saying is that cultures that value education that way succeed because increasingly to be competitive in the job market you need to have hard skills - not ethnic studies degrees with minors in russian dance.

Our culture (hispanic culture) and black culture from what I observed during the time I shared neighborhoods with poor urban blacks that were similar in socioeconomic status to us, just doesn't value education the same way. And pointing that out nowadays is considered racist, sadly.

The only reason I made it out the hood is because of my dad - he would always tell me that the only difference (true or not) between him and the uberly rich guys he works for in LA is education. Fast forward 25 years and now at 31 I'm doing just fine. Most of the "racism" I perceive day to day is in my head and I suspect it has to do with this non stop conversation.

How Darwin plays StarCraft
I’m not saying you’re bad. I’m saying there’s always a point where you want to go down to managing your own memory when performance is an issue, and no amount of language features is going to change that.

What i’d want is a generic support for preventing buffer overflows, or bad memory access where i need it. Writing my own growable data type using malloc and free is something i can do once, and i just have it, it’s not something that i have to worry about for more than 5 minutes at the beginning of a project.

> So? Why do you point to this?

I was trying to emphasize the importance of reading Wikileaks documents. I motivated this by pointing to some of the fallout of the documents being publicly released.

> Is this a proof that Erdogan is right to do what he does?

No. I'm actually really confused by this question.

> Or is this a proof of Erdogan not supporting the US or other Sunni countries enough? What?

No. I'm really confused by this question.

> The US ambassador cable from 2006

Of course also very interesting, though I'm not sure how it's related at this point, or how this conversation somehow is being directed into an 'argument'. (I have nothing to argue about with you - again I'm pretty confused by your exasperation)

> Note, Assad and his closest forces are Alawite (Shia), Iran is Shia, but ISIS, al-Qaeda, Turkey (thanks to Erdogan continuously more Islamic), Saudis and Muslim Brotherhood are Sunnis...

This is true but not a good or full enumeration and characterization of the actors and their allegiances.

Again I'm not sure what's at stake here, or the exasperated response to my pointing out that Wikileaks is an important source of information.

Good advice, definitely want to keep everything in a single branch.

While building the enterprise version of Kumu [1], I found it much easier to maintain if I used the environment to toggle configuration flags rather than scattering if(enterprise) calls throughout the codebase:

BILLING_ENABLED = APP_ENV !== 'enterprise'

// do something
}
