that sounds bad to say the least. Isnt that the entire selling point, rolling your own cloud... I always wondered why Azure and AWS were seemingly more of a priority for a software solution that supposedly is made to replace the cloud or compete with exacxtly those services.

JavaScript can do whatever the environment lets it do. Obviously browser based JavaScript is extremely limited but JavaScript running outside of a browser (e.g. on a server, or in a desktop application) can and does do all of those things you say it can't do.

It's been a long time since I've ever done any AppleScript so I can't really compare, but it does seem like the JXA environment can do any of those things, since it has an Objective-C bridge[0].

> Applescript should be used as the definition of a write-only language.

It’s the opposite. Applescript is a read-only language. Very difficult to write, but easy to read code that’s already done. Whereas Perl is easy(?) to write, difficult to read. So it’s a “write-only language”.
I disagree. (Edited this for tone)

I'm not American and I've watched American politics for fun and profit for a long time now.

Firstly - "you" have already tried cooperation.

The day Obama won, the republicans regrouped from a devastating loss and promised to make him a one term president. They've converted the routine and boring debt ceiling increase into political theater, grinding America to a halt.

Iirc they've fought Medicare tooth and nail, even though it's modeled on a republican program.

Many things have aligned to create this situation. As i recall working with people on the other side is considered bad form.

This isn't simply because of a liberal agenda or because people haven't been listening. It's because people have actively been injecting narrative and false data in order to move voting populations in specific directions.

I tried skimming the article closely. It doesn't seem to say that there is anything particularly unusual about San Francisco cancer rates. Since it's UCSF I assume the article is the hospital doing its primary job of protecting the residents of it's host city.

Risk factors, San Francisco is post industrial city with a significant number of minorities, many foreign born.

Which brings up liver cancer. My understanding is liver cancer is highly correlated with hepatitis B and C. A lot of South American and Asian emigrants have been exposed to hepatitis B in their native countries. And they are thus at higher risk. Hepatitis C is common among IV drug users. SF has a long standing problem with IV drug use[1].

Also long standing population of heavy drinkers which also is associated with cancers of various types.

Possible there is a legacy population of people exposed to industrial carcinogens. And maybe some legacy carcinogens. Scuttlebutt is people living close to the old unremediated industrial areas have more health problems. Course they also tend to be poor which is a risk factor itself.

I was woken up by the quake this morning. Pretty strong feeling; it shook for a good few minutes. As far as I can tell everyone's safe in Tokyo, though the trains are a bit delayed and the elevators in my building weren't running.

That is true. Similarly, you shouldn't identify yourself with the FSF or GNU or RMS either. Tribalism in general is a dead end for humanity.
Since I don't know what exactly you measured, how you did it, on which devices, and for what use cases, I cannot comment on specifics of what you said.

I tested various variations of this approach for extreme cases (large pages, many timers, complex CSS queries). The visual performance and CPU utilization were much, much better than I initially expected. My testing for mobile was less thorough, but I didn't notice anything horrible going on with the battery, precisely because of what you said: the browser-based drain was negligible compared to drain by screen, network and background services. I admit neglecting to test this on unplugged laptops. I will eventually get to it, but I don't think the results will be as bad as you make them sound.

Regardless, notice how the conversation shifted from "this is impossible" to "this doesn't scale" to "this might be not very battery efficient in some cases". I consider it premature to dismiss this approach without knowing exact costs for battery use in real-life browsing scenarios. (After all, I'm not the only one on the web using timers, and some other things many websites do today slaughter both battery and visual performance, and people continue using them without thinking twice.)

The approach has merit. In fact, it has a lot of merits that aren't obvious from such a simple example. The true benefit of timers is that they illiminate many issues related to events and inter-component interaction, thus drastically cutting down on code complexity in more dynamic, more complex pages. Custom elements are not going to address that any more than ASP components did in their heyday.

Hi lispm. I investigated this more deeply and I'm afraid I cannot conclude that SBCL is wrong.

The root of the problem is this splicing [[ ]] extended BNF notational concoction, in whose description we find this:

... For example, the expression

(x [[A | B* | C]] y)

means that at most one A, any number of B's, and at most one C can occur in any order. It is a description of any of these:

(x y)
(x B A C y)
(x A B B B B B C y)
(x C B A B B B y)

but not any of these:

(x B B A A C C y)
(x C B C y)

In the first case, both A and C appear too often, and in the second case C appears too often.

In the case of defun, we can identify C with documentation and y with forms. But documentation is a kind of form. According to the above, if we are given documentation documentation form, it doesn't match: documentation appears "too often". That appears to rule out "foo" "bar" as ill-formed, if "bar" is interpreted as documentation rather than form.

This is woefully badly specified; it is not clear how to unambiguously determine the extent of the symbols matched by a given [[ ]] notation.

There needs to be a clearly stated requirement that [[ ]], independently of what follows it, denotes (say) the longest possible sequence of symbols which is consistent with its constraints. The material which follows [[ ]] must then match against the remaining symbols in the form. Then it will be clear that given "foo" "bar", the "bar" string isn't part of the [[ declare(star) | documentation ]] spec, because the longest match ends with "foo" (if no declares follow).

Maybe it does. I'm afraid I cannot make head or tail out of the sentence "such that if n /=m and 1<=n,m<=j, then either Oin/=Oim or Oin = Oim = Qk, where for some 1<=k <=n, Ok is of the form Qk {star} . Furthermore, for each Oin that is of the form {Qk}1 , that element is required to appear somewhere in the list to be spliced. " Perhaps that rescues it somehow.
It depends what is meant by "unify" and what is the "stack". What I just read that a language is meant to "unify the full stack", I think I'll be able to rewrite with it any piece of the stack used, including my graphic driver, the network stack, etc.
I believe most modern application are relying on underlying elements of "the stack" that need to be fast/low latency enough when interacting with each other. Unfortunately the C ABI is still king there...

I think I may have used the wrong term. What I mean is that if you drop two marbles into the contraption at the same time, they need to be serialized before reaching this AND gate. A typical logic gate allows the signals to arrive simultaneously, but this one doesn’t, so one of the signals (marbles) needs to be held back while the other one goes first.

It could be difficult for Microsoft, but since Apple have their own line of ARM processors, could Apple theoretically add a couple strategic instructions to their CPUs to help speed up the emulation?
Yes it is possible. For example, uniformly randomized ports and addresses are a signature - if you study real traffic you find it doesn't look like that.

A lot of smart people have spent a lot of time thinking about this problem.
> Why doesn't the financial industry consider a public blockchain?

- Unnecessary uncertainty: public blockchains can fork (i.e. ethereum) or change (bitcoin block size debate, segwit, etc) unrelated to your needs.

- Dealing with forks, and various other behaviors adds lots of unnecessary complexity.

- Less secure since publicly open for anyone to attack.

- Constrained feature development that requires consideration of all actors.

- Slower and more expensive: public blockchains require world-leading mining power and lots of time (60+ mins, 6 confirmations) to remain secure from government-scale attacks.

- If proof of stake is used (untested), instead of proof of work, to mitigate the cost and time issues, then you introduce many unrelated actors influencing core aspects of your business.

I can't see why a private consortium of banks would replace their currently custom, private, controlled databases and code, with public ones.

> How do big financial companies consider resolving adversity like judgments/liens/etc against an settlement based system that's an automaton?

The system isn't an automation, there are still the same decisions being made, they are just being recorded in a smarter way that cuts out a lot of unnecessary verification/trust work. They still have relationships with each other, each other's identities, and legal agreements enforcing all their actions. If funds need to be returned, a new transaction is created to return them. Liens can be coded into assets for convenience, etc. Any automation they choose to add in smart-contract type things is optional, and can be done gradually.

Without all the public features, the core blockchain becomes very simple, basically a chronological db of signed transactions - but it still gets to keeep the sexy name.

As I said, it depends. If it's text heavy, python or ruby (or perl) is likely the best. If it uses a lesser known data structure, maybe java with it's massive set of libraries. If it's bit twiddling or memory intensive, then maybe c++ is the right answer. But a lot of questions are trivial in ruby or python. 3sum can be done in 2 lines of ruby (how I wish it was one, would be cooler).

> The bandwidth costs are so far out of line with what the network transfer actually costs, it just feels like price fixing between the major cloud players that nobody is drastically reducing those prices, only storage prices.

Yes, it makes me wonder. For many applications, the ridiculous bandwidth costs will be substantially higher than compute costs, so it makes no sense that nobody in this supposedly competitive market wants to compete in this area.

> There are several providers that offer a unmetered 1gbps line PLUS a dedicated server for ~600-750/mo. Providers like OVH offer the bandwidth for as little as 100/month. ( https://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/bandwidth-upgrade.x.... ) I am just not sure how amazon can justify a 160x price increase over OVH or a 30x increase over dedicated server + transfer.

OVH and other large volume providers are probably relying on the fact that many customers won't use 100% of their purchased capacity, but even taking that into consideration, AWS/GCE/Azure bandwidth pricing is insane.
When I want to know which way the wind is blowing I take a trip down to 4chan. Not because they know anything about the outside world, but because there are many who frequent the site who have an almost intuitive understanding of how to manipulate the presentation of information on the internet for maximum effect. Why? No idea, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that the only way to keep your thread for vanishing into the realm of the overlooked and 404ed is to post just the right combination of words and pictures to draw the attention of hundreds of different brains.

Here's a guess at a timeline

* 1-4 years from now: we have a robust scalable blockchain from someone, maybe Ethereum. This is essential for anything big to follow.

* 2-5 years from now: we get a robust identity and reputation system. Or likely multiple reputation and identity systems

* 3-6 years from now: blockchain tech moves beyond startup and incubator stage with a few widely used apps. Maybe intl money transfer, a decentralized social network, or decentralized AirBnB.

* 10-25 years from now: the things that are referred to in the OP article above by Joseph Lubin occur.

For example, in Japan, there are ritual disposals of daruma dolls, ema, and omamori (protective charms).

If the body parts were part of a type of a prayer/charm fad, it makes sense that there would be some kind of ritual disposal -- it seems like bad mojo to throw out someone's uterus, for example.
