Html <template> doesn't do data binding as far as I can see? It's just a way to reinstantiate fragments of a page and then you are back to selectors and setting properties with js. When I say templates I mean declaratively defining the page with data binding in the html so the javascript code doesn't have to know anything about the html.

There are two major reasons to use angular/react: rendering with data binding and reusable components. If web components is going to be a feasible replacement it has to both, when looking at it now it seems as it only does the component-part. Otherwise we will just end up with tons of web components that pull in angular as a dependency and we are back on square one. In fact it will probably be worse than before because it's so easy to use third party web components that you will not even think about all the different dependencies they pull in and at the end of the day your page will require doenload of both angular, jquery, react, polymer and vue. This is one step forward and two steps back. Unless web components can significantly improve the performance and code size of all these existing frameworks under the hood.

This was official US policy for much of the post-war era and a large part of the reason the US encouraged the development of oil fields in the Gulf.

In WWII the Allies deeply learned the benefits of having vast, safe oil resources in lands untouchable by the enemy. US policy after the war called for encouraging foreign development, especially by the US majors, in order to keep our reserves in tact for the next war.
> You don't need to read or understand (most of) your source code because it is 90% libraries

That's just plain incorrect. I expect all code to be written to standards of which would allow anyone to read.

> Mathematics is built based on understanding all the concepts behind a subject, and it's written to express to another human clear rigorous thought.

Isn't abstraction designed to avoid this? To remove a solution from a problem domain? To work on it without integral knowledge of all; applications? If not then all of Computer Science has been doing it wrong.

> You cannot just black box everything away and choose to ignore it the way programmers do with source code and libraries.

We don't do that. We black box things that aren't related to the problem at hand by referring to them in a terse and understandable way. For instance if I want to use a fork join scheduler for parallel thread scheduler I don't need to write out all the code for a fork join scheduler. I just need to say "You probably know what this is, if not it's called a fork join scheduler and I'll interact with it via sending messages of run, runAll, etc" and be done with it. I wont use an obscure Greek letter to notate a Fork-Join as that's archaic and insane.

> The metric for success with a program is "does the machine run it properly". The metric for success with a piece of mathematics is "do people who've done some reading in my field understand my new result". You can cheat in one but not in the other.

The KPIs for software are as follows: functionality, maintainability, simplicity. In that order. There is no single goal of software but instead a multifaceted set of goals constantly working against each other yet CS people make room for an even balance.

I don't see how this relates to you engaging in proving further information from other information. I don't see why math needs 40 non-terminal characters to type out a proof. I don't see why it can't be written in a way that is more approachable while not detrimental to the performance of current professionals. I also find it unfathomable that someone would think that the current way of doing things is the, all together, best way of doing things because that points a blind eye at the other two things I mentioned: "maintainability, simplicity".

I wouldn't call any of the advanced math world "simple" or "maintainable".
It is also 5 hours of video playback or web surfing - not 5 hours of "professional" use.
There is also the issue of prototyping; some classes of goods (eg some music parts, gun parts, car parts...) require large amounts of design & experimentation work, and have high enough price points with low enough volume that it's worthwhile to use the same machines you're prototyping on for "mass" production.

Even if the ultimate result is cloneable, volume probably doesn't justify a large factory in China going out of their way to duplicate it. If the design work benefits from tight feedback loops it can be worthwhile to produce locally.

Robots will change the relationship between populations and power. You needed populations to drive your economy and man your army. At the very least, no man ruled alone--your court could always overthrow you.

A robot army could be built to obey only one. And a factory of robots can make wealth without people.

Even assuming we solve the weak control problem, we are about to enable unprecedented capacity for absolute power.

>Or put another way, why learn Octave/Matlab
Because:
1. they are really simple and closer to math than programming languages
2. there is a huge codebase and many toolkits.
3. Matlab can be very fast
From https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Graal/Publications+and...

Forget “this language is fast”, “this language has the libraries I need”, and “this language has the tool support I need”. The Truffle framework for implementing managed languages in Java gives you native performance, multi-language integration with all other Truffle languages, and tool support - all of that by just implementing an abstract syntax tree (AST) interpreter in Java.

Truffle applies AST specialization during interpretation, which enables partial evaluation to create highly optimized native code without the need to write a compiler specifically for a language. The Java VM contributes high-performance garbage collection, threads, and parallelism support.

So you won't need the know-how to write a compiler, but instead write an interpreter optimized for execution with Graal.

Texas drilling and fracking regulations are on the chopping block. Soon we'll have little to no leverage to limit drilling or demand environmental studies to be done, so get ready for even more indigenous lands to get violated, even more earthquakes caused from wastewater injection, and even more greenhouse gasses released into our atmosphere exacerbating the already terrifying effects of climate change. No matter how good the profit in the near future might be, we're jeopardizing our ability to live on this planet by allowing this to happen.

What you're making is no different than what Maciej talks about, and just as naff.

More connectedness is not more good. I explicitly would NOT want a no-name company having ALL of my data and seeing everything that I'm seeing. It's bad enough that Google knows everything about me.

Maciej has another excellent talk about how the half-life of data is basically infinite. So while YOU may think you're a benevolent public benefactor, when (not if) you resell my data to the next guy, he may not be. Also, what possible benefit does it bring to my life? Book appointments? Tell me the weather? Why can't I do these things the dumb way?

Doubtful... if this new supply pushes down the price of oil then all regimes dependent on oil exports would lose a lot of revenue.

I want to like Google Cloud, but it just seriously lags AWS.

Amazon got everything so right with an ID and secret. GC's oauth is just cumbersome, and the CLI tools are nowhere near as user friendly as aws-cli.

Two other recent examples - the lack of granularity and inflexibility of GC's IAM perms (you need to faff around with roles which even as an Owner you can't create - they need to be done at the org level, WTF?), and GC support is miles behind.

I opened a support ticket for a critical issue recently, and the initial response I received when someone looked at it fell into the repeating-back-to-me-what-I'd-told-them-in-the-ticket category. Then they suggested I "check the permissions are right", which as I told them "I don't know what's wrong or what needs checking, that's why I opened the ticket". It's just lucky the issue didn't affect our prod account or we'd have been in real trouble since they're still investigating even though we're probably one of their top-tier customers.

AWS support has always been second to none for me. GC support has always for me been second to, well, Amazon...
I think those are some excellent points, and I'm inclined to agree.

And because of that, TSMC grows into the largest Pure Play company with market cap surpass Intel, and TSMC still has room to grow.
PC market is shrinking, their Server market is healthy for now but if Zen is anything as decent as rumoured it will give Intel some competition.
I dont believe ARM or PowerPC will give much trouble for Intel, at least not in the short run of 3 - 4 years time. Pretty much like Intel dont have much IP in mobile, no one will have the similar Server / Enterprise Grade IP in Storage, PCI-E, Memory, Networking and FPGA as Intel. All these matters a lot more then x86 these days.

I am not sure where the 2 Generation lead came from. It is more of a Generation lead. And it is shrinking, mainly due to Intel slowing down and other picking up pace a little. The 10nm from Samsung and TSMC next year wont be anything as good as Intel's 14nm. But their 7nm in 2018 will be better then Intel 14nm+. Of coz Intel will have 10nm by then, but it will be much smaller volume.
I have no idea how much a dataflow will cost to run. It tells me it's running on x vCPUs, but what will the bill actually be?
The content in this article about anti-spam techniques is fascinating. But the title should be edited to indicate its vintage: 2014.

Also, by the by, there is some interesting context about the author (Mike Hearn) and his recent activities that are not related to the topic of spam.

Warning: off-topic digression below.

Mike Hearn became one of the most visible Bitcoin core developers, working in that community for 5 years, until a well-publicized departure where he declared Bitcoin a failure[0].

He then joined R3CEV, a startup venture that is building a private blockchain platform for a consortium of 70 of the world's largest banks. Hearn's departure was criticized by members of the cryptocurrency community, such as Bram Cohen, who famously called his exit a "whiny ragequit" [1].

Regardless about how one feels about the internal politics of the bitcoin dev community, the R3 project is technically interesting (to me, at least) because it uses Kotlin [2], a JVM-based functional language, and also because it has some interesting design approaches that depart from the established bitcoin blockchain model [3].

I still think that private blockchain platforms have an uphill battle if they want to compete for developer attention with rapidly evolving broad-based platforms like Ethereum and Bitcoin, but the R3 Corda platform is nevertheless worth tracking.

How do you evaluate risks in general? If it hasn't happened to you, it's unfounded/theoretical, therefore, nothing to worry about?
> Did you just invent the perpetuum mobile,

That's the implication of the EM Drive. I didn't invent it, it's the very first thing that you think of once you violate the momentum conservation principle. This is why it's unlikely to be true, but at the same time an alchemists dream scenario.
Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing are two different processes. Horizontal drilling is just that, drilling in a horizontal direction. Fracking is injecting a liquid to break up and dissolve a rock formation to access the crude.
It would be cool if somebody could take it up as a side project.
I did a little sleuthing when I saw this somewhere else. I think The accidentally I think is a bit of a misnomer since this sort of technology is being actively explored. I remember someone earlier found a catalyst that generates acetic acid[1]. Far as I can tell the key difference here is using electricity to push the reaction uphill against the usual thermodynamic preference. And because the process is likely to be extremely selective. You get a pure form of the chemical you want and nothing else. Compared to normal chemical processes which generate a crude mix of chemicals because of the alternative reaction pathways. Sometimes you get just what you want, but often further (expensive) purification steps are needed.

> Plenty of Americans are very happy with the way the elections went

I wasnt talking about Americans, both political parties were embarrassed and horrified at how the elections went. It's those people who are going to try harder. The Republican party is in shambles, and the DNC is embarrassed they lost what looked like a gimmie election by putting their weakest candidate in front.
In a theoretical world, finding potential resources is always good. You have the option to extract from it, or ban extraction from it -- which is no worse than not finding it in the first place.

Put another way, shouldn't news of any new option be good?

It's interesting then that there's such negativity, or at least ambiguity, in this thread. Is it because we've grown more pessimistic at the irresponsibility of society?
Pretty much everything degrades lithium ion battery performance. Charging, discharging, being fully charged, being too hot, being thought about too much or too little, etc. If it's plugged in, it's probably hot (running in full-power mode) and fully charged... this kills the battery.
> even more indigenous lands to get violated

Or some real jobs and money in these dirt poor areas.

> even more greenhouse gasses released into our atmosphere

Any working solution to that has to be global and reduce demand. Refusing to drill American oil mostly means more oil money to Saudis, Putin, Venezuela and other of the worst butchers and oppressors of the world.
No, the nuclear lightbulb generates energy in the form of heat and electromagnetic radiation. How you use that energy output depends on the design of the reactor and propulsion system.

You can seed expanding liquid hydrogen in the outer cavity with tungsten nanoparticles which absorb the UV radiation to heat the hydrogen for use as a propellant. You can pump the outer cavity with a UV transparent coolant and line the walls with parabolic photovoltaics (that convert UV instead of visible spectrum) for direct conversion of the black body radiation to electricity. You can theoretically even create a magnetohydrodynamic "turbine" in the outer cavity that is coupled to the spinning nuclear fuel (which can be charged plasma).

You may be thinking of an earlier that was mistakenly called nuclear lightbulb or another design that was lumped into the concept. The variation I have in mind is just as general purpose as any other nuclear reactor, it just uses a lot less fuel and has to actively maintain temperature and pressure to keep the neutron cross section energy high enough to sustain power positive fision.
> Both parties are still here, alas.

That is arguable. The RNC is in shambles, Trump came in and annihilated everyone in that party. Sure they are technically still here, but let's not say things are going according to plan.

Same for the DNC, they cheated their own party to put Hillary at the front of the pack in what looked like a freebie election and lost. Roasting Bernie, getting debate questions fed to her ahead of time, and they still lost. It looks bad they cheated their own party, but looks worse they cheated and still lost.

I know quite a few people who require >16GB, and not one of them is a power user nor do they use a VM. What they do is edit large amounts of 4K video in FCP, and they're rather screwed without an actual MacBook Pro.

No, there are no cloud options for them, they need the RAM for the video. No, the Mac Pro isn't a viable option for them at that price, nor is it portable.

I'm pretty sure they don't give a damn about battery life, either. They do their editing at a desk, and then take the MBP with them.

So, for now, they're stuck with old models until there's a better one, or they spend a fair amount of money building a new pipeline and purchasing new software.

Show HN: I'm writing an ebook version of The Tao of tmux
A couple of years ago, I written an intro to tmux (https://tmux.github.io/) inside tmuxp's (https://github.com/tony/tmuxp) documentation called The Tao of tmux (https://tmuxp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about_tmux.html). I'm in the process of turning it into a feature book.

I am aiming for a December 23rd, 2016 release and am plugging away full time.

I make it available to read on the web for free at https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read.

The GitHub is at https://github.com/git-pull/tao-of-tmux.

For pre-ordering:

- The Leanpub page (updated on a regular basis) is https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux.

- Amazon Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG342KU

- iTunes: https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/book/the-tao-of-tmux/id1168912720

Also I have a coupon for pre-orders @ $7.99 https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/c/oBsI4y3o4quu.

I've started an indiegogo @ https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-tao-of-tmux-the-ebook

So there are 2 other books available in the now. I prefer my style of writing about tmux and teaching, since I maintain a few open source libraries for tmux I bring my own perspective along. Also I'd rather stay away from publishers, again, I prefer a book that's available for free to read on the web, DRM-free if you pay, and not have to worry about printing :). It's my first book ever so I feel a lot of pressure to get it done right.

I'm definitely open to feedback and requests to add things. I feel a duty to make a really good book for the community. Any help to spread the word is much appreciated!
