I got a good laugh honestly. Nice article which is filled with interesting, although not necessarily useful performance ideas. Their site does load impressively fast at ~10ms page-load reported by Chrome.

Unfortunately, as a professional web developers, my clients never need such optimizations. They want new features long before they ever get upset about pages being sluggish in the second range. I'd love to be required to do more stuff like this, and I'm sure some people do, but the vast majority of the suggestions are looking for performance at all costs.
If you're going to make up a faux smart phone to prevent people from pegging it to a specific time frame you may as well say your props people some time and use a Windows phone.
Much along the same lines, I'm fascinated by Turing's Theta Combinator (another fixed point combinator from lambda calculus).
What fascinates me is watching the communication of concepts shift in different languages - watching people map the concept from one language to another as they translate the concept. And then sometimes a concept might have a dedicated word or means of expression, meaning the translation is asymmetric in length.

In a way, it's like porting a program, from one language which supports ternary operations, to a language that does not have ternary operations - and having to manually write out the ternary operation as an if-then-else statement.

> I think it's unnecessary for us to invent crazy hypothetical scenarios above and beyond what the accused themselves are claiming just to avoid confronting the possibility that a rape charge might be real and not she totally wanted it man.

A woman making a false rape claim to avoid admitting that she cheated is a "crazy hypothetical scenario"? It's a thing that actually happens on a recurring basis. It's probably the leading cause of false rape claims.

I am not arguing that these people are innocent. They probably did it. But they didn't certainly do it. DNA can't fix that because the pieces we don't know aren't the pieces that DNA tells us.

didn't you watch the movie "3 idiots" ? pencils didn't work well in outer space too!

from:https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-n...

"Originally, NASA astronauts, like the Soviet cosmonauts, used pencils, according to NASA historians. In fact, NASA ordered 34 mechanical pencils from Houston's Tycam Engineering Manufacturing, Inc., in 1965. They paid $4,382.50 or $128.89 per pencil. When these prices became public, there was an outcry and NASA scrambled to find something cheaper for the astronauts to use.
Pencils may not have been the best choice anyway. The tips flaked and broke off, drifting in microgravity where they could potentially harm an astronaut or equipment. And pencils are flammable--a quality NASA wanted to avoid in onboard objects after the Apollo 1 fire."

> This is like the story where some government tried to come up with a super high-tech pen that works in the space (because regular pens don't work in zero gravity environment) when the final answer was just a pencil.

The debris from a broken pencil or from sharpening one is a real hazard in space. Pens that work in zero gravity were privately developed by the Fisher Pen Company and bought by both NASA and the Soviets for a very reasonable price.

> GR does not imply causality nor does it enforce it. In fact GR works in a non-causal universe without a problem.

One of the key assumptions of GR is that spacetime is globally hyperbolic. This implies causality. You can’t guarantee solutions of the Einstein or Maxwell equations w/o this assumption.
It's an extreme case, but that's kind of the point of Christmas, and the winter festivals it evolved from.
Just to clarify, mass-energy equivalence implies nothing about mass-energy conversion. We've never witnessed such a conversion nor do we know if it's possible. The implication is that mass difference of an atom after energy absorption is directly proportional to the energy absorbed. Energy is still energy in that case, no conversion has taken place.

The intention was "I want to change this guy's hours from 5 to 8." I don't know what else you might mean by "encode the intention."

Suppose you change foo from 9 to 10. Was that because you now wanted foo to be 10 specifically, or because you wanted to increment foo and it happened to be 9 before so it becomes 10 now?

In isolation, these have the same effect. However, one is absolute and the other is relative, so if two of you happen to make that same change at the same time, your intentions matter very much to how your respective changes should be combined.

For example, if your code knows that both changes were intended to set new absolute values, it can automatically determine that the combined effect should also be 10. Similarly, if your code knows that both changes were intended to increment foo, it can automatically combine those effects to get 11. But if all it knows is that two people changed foo in concurrent updates that now need to be merged, that probably results in a conflict that requires manual resolution by a user.
Note that when this article says “Lorentz symmetry” it really means
“spacetime is a Lorentzian manifold”. This is bad physicists slang. We
know that Lorentz symmetry is broken when gravity is non negligible. So
these conservation laws don’t apply on large scales.

This is what confuses me. How would I write a React based component that can manage the retrieving the data it needs and can be easily integrated into other React/Redux based applications.

For example, I wish to write a component that displays the weather for a given date and zip code. I also want to create another component that displays the local events for a given date and zip code.

I want a simple SPA app to include these two components along with a shared chooser component that allows users to select the zip code and date.

Finally, I want to share the weather and event components with other developers so they can incorporate them easily in their own React/Redux based applications.
So Peter Thiel then?
Human fertility itself isn't in decline. Fertility and human births are conflated in the US government definition, implying that we are somehow losing the physical ability to reproduce. What's actually happening is that our society is getting so complex that our agency of reproduction is impaired. It's entirely social; it's all in our heads.
It only takes a single first thought by an intelligence to observe the Universe. Everything occurring up to then (e.g. nucleii, carbon, brains) is highly unlikely and therefore many people suggest an Anthropic Principle to explain it.

Once that single first thought by an intelligence has occurred, the Weak or Strong Anthropic Principle is no longer required to explain the existence of intelligence, and so its continuance has the same unlikeliness as other life forms, i.e. ultimate extinction. The fact humans became the opposite of extinct (e.g. fire, scrolls, nukes) suggests that if the Anthropic Principle applies to the emergence of intelligence, something even "stronger" such as the Final Anthropic Principle could apply to the continuance of intelligence.

I'm not saying there's an underlying Anthropic Principle in the Universe. I'm answering the question to show that the Final Anthropic Principle is as scientific a proposal as anything else.

Is this even still relevant though? I had a DSP textbook in college back in the 1980s.
What I'm saying is that presenting a report which shows more money getting spent on not the students, but some side thing which doesn't actually benefit the students... That is the red herring. That report isn't actually about money spent on students. It's money schools are spending on "administration". If the money given to schools isn't spent on students, it is useless. Spending money on educating actual students (and not ballooning administrations) actually does improve student education, just ask any teacher and ignore the principal.
I'm not the answer, but I'm curious. I have never experienced poverty. I can relate that you want nothing to do with it anymore, but there's a hidden connotation that the poor want nothing to do with the non-poor. That that grocery store owner wouldn't want help with picking up the heavy box, because the helper happens to be better off.

Can you explain that emotion to me? Why is walking through a relatively poor district and generally being a decent neighbour "saviour complex" just because the person doing it is richer?

> But even as a concept, this particular one doesn’t resonate with our current anxieties, because overpopulation is more worrying than population decline.

Yet there are demographers who very much worry about it[1]. They sometimes call it the "demographic winter".

The decrease of birth rates is already observed in most developed countries, and it does not turn into population decline mostly because of immigration, so this kind of reflects to what is described in the movie, even if the movie shows an extreme version of it with a supernatural element (the sudden halt of worldwide fertility).

Hmm not sure what you mean by relevant here. I'll take a crack at my interpretation: Is DSP still relevant - undoubtedly yes. Is the book still relevant? Because it focuses on the underlying theory and concepts and not so much on language specific implementations, I'd say yes to that as well.

It's a way of teaching helplessness, while inflating your own ego. That grocery store owner wouldn't want help with picking up the heavy box, because he is an able-bodied man. Doing this for him is belittling him, saying he's not an able-bodied man. It's like receiving unrequested advice or assistance on a project.

Having grown up in poverty, been homeless for a summer, walked home past homeless people every day for years, and now a well-paid engineer in a nice city, I understand the questioning rage, wishing there was someone there to ease your burden. But I also recognize that direct charity prevents or delays people from finding a better solution, or even just having the dignity of knowing they've done the best they can for themselves.

In a sea of inequality, there is no peace, only calms between the storms. Making everyone equal is a laudable goal, but a more realistic goal is simply ensuring everyone has a rewarding and fulfilling life, and we still have a long way to go with that one.

I've had some really laughable times in Thailand in regard to this. Google Translate is really horrible at Thai <-> English, where both English and Thai speakers are left in confusion and usually laughter. Some examples: someone was telling me about the fresh mountain air, Google Translate showed 'drug scene' (I asked them for clarification and no, they weren't talking about drugs); another idiom which I didn't find out what it means, but 'eye twitching' was what Google Translate was giving, though the person didn't really mean their eye was twitching..

This is actually the million dollar question, not remotely ridiculous. A lot of web frameworks are built with ease of use, productivity, and "fun" for developers in mind, but neglect security at the framework level, instead leaving security to be reimplemented by the devs on every new project.

But the whole point of a framework is to encapsulate all the things that you have to implement for every new web project, so you don't have to keep redoing that every time, and can instead focus dev time on new features and unique elements of each individual site. Securing against common vulnerabilities should be part of that.

There are a few frameworks that get this right, Lift (https://liftweb.net/) being the best I know of, designed to eliminate most of the OWASP Top 10 Vulns (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/se-owasptop10/ind...) using Scala's strong type system and a virtual diff architecture similar to now-in-vogue Javascript frameworks like React. Haskell's Yesod framework is, as mentioned above, another good one in this respect.
The good thing about Go's standard library is that Google uses it internally. Thus, it's well-exercised. It's probably been run on a bigger load than yours. That's valuable.
> Of course, the actual solution to that is to build a society and culture in which men take as much of a role in raising their children - and yes, that means making sacrifices re their work - as women do.

A major problem with this is that the only way women were historically able to dedicate their time to their families is by being prohibited from doing other work. As soon as you're allowed to work, working becomes a competitive advantage which means you have to do it. Jane works and Jane and her husband are bidding on the same house as you so now you have to work too.

In theory a solution might be to legally mandate a 20 hour work week and prohibit overtime so that both spouses will have time to work at home, but we all know that is not going to happen. Specialization is too great an advantage. Doctors work 80 hour weeks because it takes a long time to become a doctor and that schooling has to be amortized over many work-hours. If med school was 20 hours instead of 80 it would take 32 years instead of 8.

So the only functioning system is to have one working parent and one stay at home parent. We would have to somehow ensure that half of each is of each sex.

Historically this functioned by society treating fathers and mothers differently. If we want to treat them the same then how does the employer know which one should be prevented from working so they can stay at home without sacrificing a competitive advantage for their family?

There is also the related problem of how to convince men to spend less time on their careers if women continue to prefer men with higher incomes.
