Yes. There's a reason you practically never find people using those things in real Ruby projects, despite the huge number of such libraries that exist.
How old is this? The pitch reads exactly like a description of the Nim language, and then it claims no such language exists..

Like another commenter said, it's post-Christmas, time to get pedantic about Star Wars.

I find it hard to buy the idea that the climax of RotJ supports this idea. At the end of RotJ all is portrayed as having worked out as well as they possibly could have, and all because Luke has made the extremely deontological choice to not fight his father.

Does Episode III contain the phrase "Only a Sith believes in absolutes"? Yes, and that's why everyone hates it.

My goal for 2017 is to finish some of the projects I started in 2016.

1) VSCode extensions for code coverage and inline debugging decorators.

2) Rasberry Pi Self Driving Car. Autonomously navigate from A to B

3) VR Meditation app. You are a god and different sounds of "Om" creates beautiful landscapes and life.

From non-technical side I want to:

1) Keep up meditating everyday.

2) Write one chapter of my book a week.

3) Once my wrist recovers, go back and hit the gym.

4) Take some dancing and art classes.
Horrible idea, induction charging is very inefficient, the cost increase in road costs would be insane and there are going to be quite a lot of health and safety concerns when driving ungrounded metal cans over an inductive field.

Also remember some people still have pacemakers ;)

If anything something like a charging rail with a physical contact that can be used some parts of the drive would be preferable.

I do wonder if the tiers can be used for inductive or even conductive charging instead, because the regulation height of most cars would make it even more inefficient than it already is.
Simplicity is the most difficult thing to engineer. I think this is a good example of that.

There are so many symbols, special cases, if ands and buts. When do things get $? When do things get ;? When do things get capitalized?

Making words capitalized shouldn't be needed. If your language is being used and the syntax of the language encompases more of then the meaning you are attemping to convey then you've poorly designed the language.

I think python is a good example of how to be simple. There are (), :, and whitespace. You have if, elif, def, and class (I'm not counting pass). The syntax and semantics are simple (although I don't like the reliance of whitespace as a block segregation technique).

It's hard to see the logic under the language in Zimbu. In python the logic is the language. When you see really pythonic code, the code are just expressing the ideas in a simple way using the language's keywords is a way to make it even simpler. For example

for account in database(outstanding_bill=True):
print(account.name)

As you can see, there is a syntax to this but it reads the same way as the program is meant to run. "For every account found in database that has outstanding_bills print the account name". The syntax is part of the meaning in this. In Zimbu..... I think work needs to be done. I'm just not getting it I don't think.
"Back in the days" when I was programming QBASIC, which uses capitalized keywords, it was really easy to spot typos in keywords. You could just write in lowercase, and the IDE would convert your keywords to uppercase if you didn't make a typo. While I admit that it looks kind of ugly, it is actually a huge practical advantage.
As context, this is Apple's first published AI research paper. After Russ Salakhutdinov was hired, he promised that Apple would start publishing AI papers in peer-reviewed conferences... and this is them making good on that promise.

I work in AI (using HealthKit data, not as part of Apple), and my quick read is that although this particular paper isn't especially groundbreaking, it's a good omen for things to come. The idea they propose is a good twist on Generative Adversarial Networks—which have been around either since 2014 or the 1990's depending on who you ask—but you might see dozens of similar papers at a conference like NIPS.

That said, Apple is using state-of-the-art techniques, submitting to peer-reviewed conferences, publishing results on well-known baselines, AND publishing openly, none of which were true of them even a couple of years ago. This is real research.

So kudos to them. I'm really curious to see how they publish in core product areas like Health or Siri -- they could make some major contributions to research in addition to products.
well it does require one that can't have collisions. otherwise what's the point in "verifying"?
Yikes.

The crypto routines are mostly in spp.c (there are hand-written C implementations of AES and SHA3 in aes.c and sha3.c, but RSA is done directly off the top of OpenSSL's BN routines).

There are (I think?) at least 3 really bad crypto bugs here, but I didn't look really hard for them. Since this is shellcode, and not something anyone would ever legitimately rely on, it might be worth treating this like an exercise. Anyone want to spot the bugs?

Well, for one thing, you can explore computing ideas and paradigms that fall outside the realm of UNIX. What if instead of a filesystem, there was a persistant collection of live objects (with attributes and functions and everything), like Smalltalk? How about a system where there's a unified abstraction for both network and local I/O, ala plan9?

How about some new idea that hasn't been tried before? Maybe you'll find a better way of doing things.
> So, if you've switched from whatever shell your system bundles by default to something else such as cash, fish, or zsh, why did you switch?

From bash to zsh, because completion propositions are displayed below the

I see a lot of people misinterpreted 3x3 as 9. Meaning Ruby 3.0 is going to be 9 times faster. ( I am guess that is where your number 10x comes from )

The article clear states that, as well as numerous other sources Ruby 3x3 means Ruby 3.0 will be 3 times faster.
The problem is it will be 3 times faster then 2.0, and we already have 30-40% speedup from 2.0. So for Ruby 3.0 is likely only 2.2x faster then Ruby 2.4.

2.2x, in the grand view of things, is still very slow.

I keep Handbrake around even without optical drives - although it's been a few years since I last ripped a disc, it's still easily the best general-purpose encoding tool I've used. Nothing else really approaches its combination of reliable, high-quality output, fast performance, and uncluttered UI.

I wouldn't say it's horrible, I know roads aren't guaranteed to be smooth, if anything you could drop something to within inches to charge. Or at least don't put them on highways.

I do think of a scenario where you're driving on the highway and you drive over the patch to charge your car, and it shows on your car's HUD, -$20.00 for the charge haha.

I don't know shit so what I say is probably stupid.

Sadly it's outdated, only a single version, and missing all the other important rustup features. Ultimately rustup's Linux binaries would benefit from either optionally or exclusively being available in a version that's linked dynamically - or more practically - statically against musl. These would work in default docker images, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Alpine, Void Linux, anywhere that has Linux 2.6 ABI. Stack has started doing this for their GHC builds. Of course, a prerequisite is upstream support for hosting rust in a musl (no glibc) environment. Since Rust has a musl target for static compilation, it's natural to be hosted as well.
Yeah! Bad bit baked into the executable is a strong possibility.
The next step above Lubuntu is Xubuntu. If it will fit, use it. I buy old ASUS subnotebooks on eBay for about $40 and put Xubuntu on them when I need a little machine for something.

Drivers can be a problem. However, [UXL]buntu finally fixed the years-old bug where the cursor goes away on devices using built-in Intel graphics. (You could make the cursor come back with CTL-ALT-F1, CTL-ALT-F7, which switches the display to text mode and back.) That prevented anyone not heavily into Linux from using the thing.

Ah yes, I didn't go into details on the milling process. I used a 1/64" flat end mill for the traces and a 1/32" flat end mill to cut out the board from the stock.

Also, the software workflow was really easy - Otherplan (Othermill's CAM software) can directly import Eagle's .brd files and drive the Othermill.
Well, hosted is trickier due to compiler plugins, but yes. It's workable. In general, please submit bugs upstream or comment on any open issues; this package was created by someone who was working on exactly that!

Once you get rustc, rustup should be fine.
Turkey's prime minister doesn't say that the Turkish government will invest in Crytek or anything like that?

He actually says that "those guys [meaning the Yerli brothers most probably, but he doesn't even mention them by name] will invest $500M in Turkey", so he means it the other way round.

No way that is going to happen though, LOL.

That's pattern-guard syntax. The bits between | and = ("the guard") are tried in turn, and the stuff to the right of the = is done for the first that succeeds. This can also introduce new bindings, although it doesn't here.

To do this directly without guards, it'd be:

f (x@('a':_):_:zs) = x : f zs
f (x:ys) = x : f ys
f [] = []

Not obviously better, not obviously worse.
But that doesn't look as nice.

They make a great point about the difference between 19th and 20th century industrial revolutions.

In the 19th century, unskilled laborers became more productive, and skilled artisans less productive, due to machinery making their jobs easier (hence the Luddite movement).

In the 20th century the situation reversed, and unskilled laborers had their jobs taken and perhaps eliminated by full automation. Productivity went down for them and up for the people who owned the machines.

The well known concern for the 21st century is that as automation becomes more capable, it will raise the skill floor of human employability, which can only increase inequality (of productivity and thus life, thanks capitalism).

1. WWWVB is the norm. When they say 'Atomic Clock' they are using WWVB to synchronise time.

2. Putting GPS on a consumer electronic would be WAY more expensive.

There is actually JRuby, and Truffle + Graal implementation which is VERY fast. The problem is no one is using it. At least not mainstream site. None of the public Ruby Rails site uses JRuby.

The Ada variant seems to achieve a clearer goal: specify exactly where LSP / subtyping is desired, leaving the default behavior of un-decorated types alone. Explicit opt-out as in Zimbu seems odd.
Right... because the billionaire who is friends with dozens of billionaires, media owners and personalities, and rich politicians- who represents the interests of these monied connections- won the presidency?

The only things this election proved is that things like truth and tact don't count for nearly as much as money and connections.

1. In the US, yes. In other parts of the world, you'll see clocks that instead use a closer station (like DCF77 in Germany).

2. Indoor operation is part of it. Also, GPS receivers are more expensive and power hungry.

This has been discussed multiple times in tickets and it's pending. Hopefully soon :).

> please submit bugs upstream or comment on any open issues

Of course but there's nothing I can add to already existing and open issues that hasn't already been discussed. There's a need for rustc dev focus on this just like msvc support in the past.

> Once you get rustc, rustup should be fine.

What do you mean? Being able to build rustup doesn't give you access to rustup toolchains/targets that run on Alpine, if that's what you mean. Or?

That's the computer hacker solution. The RF hacker solution would be to build something that receives WWVB and retransmits its own signal on the same frequency without interfering with itself. The wavelength is long enough that you could pull this off. This has the advantage that you're not degrading the accuracy of the time signal.
OK, forget technical details; how's the money made?

Someone else has already observed that the motivation pretty much exactly matches Nim's. However, if you just decide that you don't need a compile to C language, Go or even Haskell matches the criteria...
To be fair, all you really need to do in most stock market use cases is to predict measurably better than the competition to be able to get something of business value, not necessarily really close to "perfect" or within so much accuracy.
The article seems to contradict the previous one too saying that Istanbul office in Turkey is not going to be shut down. But the previous one reported about not shutting down offices only in Germany and Ukraine.

I'm guessing it's more like that: the government invests into Crytek and there would be no reason for them to shut down their offices in Turkey and in other locations.
Ethics should be taught on all levels. It's impossible to predict how a good invention of today would be twisted to serve an ulterior motive tomorrow. Can we get a universal understanding of right and wrong. Not sure. Isn't AK-47 the biggest killer today? That doesn't mean that world would be less bloody without it. More than engineers and inventors, people at large should be less violent. Can that be made possible through ethics? Religion is a way to do that but all it becomes eventually is superstition.

Heretical Guide to Being a Person That Writes Server Code on a Surface Book
EDIT: apparently a couple other people have already answered your questions, but I didn't see the other answers because I was typing my response. I'll leave my answer here cause it contains some information not in the other responses.

The Wikipedia page seems to be pretty accurate. To answer your questions:

> Is WWVB the norm for consumer clocks that synchronize to an outside source? If I see a clock with that feature, should I assume it uses WWVB? Is it one of several options?

In the United States, yes. Clocks labeled "atomic clock" or "radio clock" are set up to sync with WWVB. Nowadays, many clocks are multi-band, which means that they are designed so that they can receive from multiple radio stations (there are a bunch of these; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock#List_of_radio_time...). Usually, the clock decides which station to try to sync to based on which time zone they are in (which is part of the configuration). For example, my wristwatch, a Casio AWGM100B, can receive from DCF77 (Germany, 77.5 kHz), MSF (UK, 60 kHz), WWVB (United States, 60 kHz), JJY (Japan, 40 kHz / 60 kHz), and BPC (China, 68.5 kHz).

> Why not use GPS? Because of poor signal indoors?

I think the main reason is that GPS is a lot more complicated, so it requires more sophisticated hardware and software (and more power) to get time via GPS. There are some higher-end watches that do use GPS - for example, the Casio GPW1000-1A.

> How far does this signal from Colorado propagate?

Depends on weather conditions and time of day. NIST has coverage maps that show where you can get > 100µV/m for different times of the day: http://tf.nist.gov/stations/wwvbcoverage.htm

Just out of curiosity, how would you change the following definition to make sure it's clear without reading anything else?

words :: String -> [String]

If you say it's already obvious, I disagree, since this code prints "1":

main = print $ length $ words "jack am I"

(The spaces in the string are six-per-em unicode characters)

> If you don't actually know and trust the party who makes the software then the signature is worse than useless

Not true. The signature only needs to mean "we've verified the author's ID and he lives in a country that enforces the law". Then if he ships and signs malware, he can be sued and/or charged criminally.
I've been using Awesome for about a year now and have fallen in love with tiling WMs. Looking forward to playing with the new changes! :)

The problem may be the way the laws get enacted. What might be considered very corrupt in one country is just how business is done in the USA.
Python's colon is not for the sake of the compiler (you could theoretically parse a version of Python without them), there were studies that showed that it's easier for humans to read with it than without. A lot of Python's design decisions were made because it's easier for humans to read and write (keyword operators, whitespace syntax, explicit return).
Ehm. Yeah. :)
