the only thing animals do is save time, when we were naked and running the meadows, other animals collected nutrients for us, stored them in the bodies and saved us extreme amounts of time.

currently, most of the animals we eat are just inefficient in converting edible to edible, soybean to meat. we're filtering food that we grow for them just so that we can eat food.

Her pronunciation of Arabic is off a little bit.

She just crammed the Semitic sounds in a few made up words sparkled by some real Arabic words and that's it but she should have been making more effort in imitating the rhythm and intonation (prosody) [1] to fool the native Arabic speaker ears that what she speaks was actually Arabic.

A RCE in a browser is literally the worst possible case and Firefox had multiple of them, most trivially exploitable with JavaScript. This simply doesn't happen with Chrome.

> Chromium means you miss features that Chrome has (H264, Netflix, ...)

Google made an effort to open-source everything, including their PDFium PDF reader.

The only remaining bits are the Pepper flash player and the Encrypted Media Extensions. Both are closed source in Firefox as well. You can use them with Chromium just fine and both are sandboxed. They cannot be distributed with Chromium for licensing reasons, but nothing prevents you from downloading the Chrome package and extracting those two files. Many Linux distros have scripts which automate this.

> ... it was Russian blood that sucked German army white.

Interestingly, the Russian invasion of Manchuria (i.e. their entry into the Pacific theater) also played a much more significant role in Japan's surrender than most of us were taught in history class. The US had been firebombing Japanese cities for months, so the atom bombs, while devastating, were not an order of magnitude escalation, whereas the Russian invasion certainly was.

Are you comfortable using a scripting language like Python, Ruby, or Bash, and a shortcut-driven text editor like Vim or eMacs?

Perhaps because I'm skilled at Vim, using Python and Vim is unquestionably quicker for me than using a mouse to drag/paste/click a bunch of boxes around for any imaginable use case. I suppose if you're used to using mouse-driven programming environments like Windows often is used, this might be quicker...

I'm curious if anyone knows if the optimizations Twitter made to improve fetch performance for large, active repos have made it upstream yet? I don't work there anymore and neither do any of the people who were originally doing that work, but it was a pretty impressive speed up (I could git pull thousands of commits and be done in under a second on a 3GB repo with no large objects). I know the watchman support made it in, which was the other half of what made large repos perform well, but I haven't seen mention of the log-structured patch queue stuff that helped the server by eliminating most of the work to calculate what to send on a fetch. Anyone know?

> not a single piece of large software (except maybe a compiler or two) has ever been written using the skills/concepts of the higher levels of this chart.

I wonder: to what extent this is because those higher level concept tend to shrink programs in the first place? I mean, big is bad, there's no debating this. Big programs can only arise from necessity or stupidity. And if those fancy features are any use, they must be reducing the need for big.

I would ask myself a slightly different question: what kind of program still have to be big, even if you have all these fine concepts at your disposal?

And of course, big is risky, and that tend to make us chose more conservative options. Why use Haskell where C++ has shown in the past it could do that kind of job? Not to mention the network effects: even if Haskell as a language was better than C++ as some specific job, you may still choose C++ because of libraries, commercial support, and developer availability.

> When it comes to small (<100KLOC) and non-large (<1MLOC) programs

Oh, so that's how you're calibrated… My, to me, small means <10KLOC. 100KLOC is already big, and 1MLOC is gigantic. Besides, I've seen a couple multi-million lines programs, and I don't believe for a second they had to exceed 100KLOC. Such programs are more about piling historical accident on top of historical accident than about encoding a complex problem domain.

A small compiler takes a couple thousand lines of code. With the proper tools, it can often be squeezed into 2KLOC (Source: the STEPS project from http://vpri.org). It won't optimize like GCC, but you rarely have to anyway. Now you have a DSL for writing an executable specification. What kind of specification is so complex that it cannot even fit in 50 books?

Of course you have to keenly understand the problem domain to pull that of, and that often means solving it the crappy way the first time around. Which means you're never going to rewrite it the proper way: it would be way too risky. So of course it has seldom been put to the test. One does not just hinge an entire business on original research.

> You're equating upfront effort with a particular choice of technique, and one that has never been put to the test.

No, not never. I have at least one example: one of my uncles once had to write a number of database transactions. It was one of his first job. He had 1 year to do it. Seeing how tedious it would be, he first though about the problem, then devised a DSL in which he could write the damn transactions. Since he wasn't exactly senior, and had crappy tools (he used B), the DSL took him about 6-7 months to perfect. (During which management were on the verge of panic, because no transaction has been done yet.)

At the 8 month mark, all transactions were done, tested, and had a surprisingly low bug count. The client was very pleased and the contract was renewed for another batch of transactions. Same size, but to be done in 8 months this time. That was given to a co-worker, who used the my uncle's DSL to perform 8 months worth of contracted work in 1 month.

DSLs sometimes work.

Precompilation is cool, but please don't imply that your framework is the first to do it. Precompiled templates significantly predate HTML, they were common in the mainframe world. In the HTML world there are tons of other templaters that allow precompilation. Handlebars is a common one: http://handlebarsjs.com/precompilation.html

This is a huge part of Javascript fatigue for me. I love the fact that we're recycling old concepts and mashing them up to get constant improvements and better tooling. It's the relentless hype and pretending that everything is new that really gets to me.

I think nothing wrong with ideology of democracy it self.

Destroyers are the people and organizations that lie, supress, push economics down.. if you look latest warmongers works: irak, iran whole middle east wars ? Was it worth actually anything ? Did they all started by lying to people ? Why did Obama get nobel of peace again?

I would say so long as people believe so cold "leaders" whole humanity is in danger. People should investigate more by them self things before trusting any "leaders". Current "leaders" are not thinking your or your family's best. They own power and financial status only matters.

Biggest destroyers for democracy is today media who lie and keep you totally away from real subjects.

Social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, that supress and hide your opinions.

Google search, that give you wrong results and hide "real" search results..

Yep, nothing wrong with drmocracy. Bigger problem is these who keep it "alive" lol.

Handlebars templates have a runtime dependency (even when precompiled). Svelte does not.

Also, a precompiled Handlebars template is just a function for outputting an HTML string (with a runtime dependency). By comparison, the compiled Svelte output is a dependency-free JavaScript module for a dynamic view, which knows how (and when) to granularly update the browser DOM in response to state changes. It's unprecedented.

Not necessarily. If maintenance costs outweigh the savings (compared to "clean" coal or something, let alone sources that are even remotely close to clean like nuclear) then it never will.

I agree with you completely and I even developed an open -source writing system called Eskéndereyya [1] to help learners of Arabic in reading and pronunciation and to prepare them to make the jump to the Arabic script very confidently because I noticed that some beginners are put off by the notion of learning a completely new script just to read and write few sentences and when taking into account how usually Arabic is communicated in writing without diacritics, it becomes very frustrating for them to get any immediate return for their efforts to learn the language.

It is a poor criterion, because it is so subjective and dependent on PR machines.

The OP just has not heard of any accomplishments, but anyone with a little expertise in deep (reinforcement) learning knows about the major contributions to the field by Schmidhuber.

Using this criterion you are using popular media and fields you know not much about, to brush away the accomplishments of respectable scientists. Don't base your skepticism on your own lack of knowledge: that makes it selective -- You can not cut through the bullshit, if you don't know how to wield a sword.

Love it. I think the most discussion-worthy quote I found in the docs is this:

> It's currently fashionable to avoid two-way binding on the grounds that it creates all sorts of hard-to-debug problems and slows your application down, and that a one-way top-down data flow is 'easier to reason about'. This is in fact high grade nonsense. It's true that two-way binding done badly has all sorts of issues, and that very large apps benefit from the discipline of a not permitting deeply nested components to muck about with state that might affect distant parts of the app. But when used correctly, two-way binding simplifies things greatly.

I wonder what the author considers "used correctly" and "done badly" and how Svelte approaches this.
I think that Haskell's takeover of the term "functional programming" in certain circles/contexts is both inevitable and nothing you should care about (I, too, program in Clojure, an imperative-functional language, and I don't mind it not being perceived as "true FP").

It's not as "magic" as you believe it to be.

The dark matter is at the moment is not only the simpler explanation (that is, you have formulas that can produce the results) of the observations (Occam razor etc) but the only one that explains different effects that are still fully unexplained (in the sense, there are no formulas that can even match anything) by MOND.

And since 2006 there are the actual photos of "dark mater effects":

http://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2016/09/19/dark-...

Now, how the MOND handles it?

"Verlinde thinks his theory will be able to handle the Bullet cluster observations just fine."

Note "thinks" not that anybody managed.

The dark matter approach could be declared really problematic even before anybody manages if some observations simply can't be explained with the dark matter. But at the moment it's still not so.

And all the observations will remain:

https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/10-facts-everyone-shou...

"It’s not going away

You will not wake up one day and hear physicists declare it’s not there at all. (Well, you will, but those claims are rare, and those physicists are wrong.) The evidence is overwhelming: Weak gravitational lensing demonstrates that galaxies have a larger gravitational pull than visible matter can produce. Additional matter in galaxies is also necessary to explain why stars in the outer arms of galaxies orbit so quickly around the center. The observed temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background can’t be explained without dark matter, and the structures formed by galaxies wouldn’t come out right without dark matter either. Even if all of this was explained by a modification of gravity rather than an unknown type of matter, it would still have to be possible to formulate this modification of gravity in a way that makes it look pretty much like a new type of matter. And we’d still call it dark matter."

Then, not as the underlying principle, but as a simpler handling for all the observations up to now that look like "the invisible-matter-like effects there."
