I agree, and these are important CS topics. However, Big O made so much more sense to me after I've had a chance to understand basic machine execution and written a few non-trivial programs.

There's another aspect regarding when to introduce some of these topics - getting kids and new CS students interested and energized about what they are studying. I know the argument could be made that if these topics aren't of interest then don't do CS, but they must be introduced at the right time.

On par with the claim that "Elixir is fast".

Sequential processing, what did you think? BEAM excels at running many
sequential processes at the same time, it would be very hard to match that.
(And that's why for text processing I use Perl or sometimes Python, but for
services that pass data back and forth through network I use Erlang.)
>A Bloomberg piece on how Larry Summers, president of Harvard, economic bigshot in Obama 44's first term, blasted Trump's move to keep some United Technologies (Carrier) mfg jobs in Indiana instead of moving them to a maquiladora. He blasted Trump on the grounds that politicians have no business trying to influence keeping jobs in their districts. That's an astonishing position. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-02/summers-s....

True, especially since there are fine grounds to oppose Trump's "deal", namely that the same amount of government money could have just paid the workers' salaries directly, or the government could seize the factory and put it under worker ownership, or the government could use the money as part of the proposed trillion-dollar infrastructure plan.

Bribing a company to "save jobs" with more money than it will actually pay out in salaries is just plain wasteful.

Generating Java Mixed-Mode Flame Graphs
I don’t know if this is wha you mean, but when listening to music, the human brain is constantly making predictions about what will happen next. Jerry Coker explains that the quality of the experience lies in the balance between the familiarity of being right and the surprise of being wrong.

Thus, when listening to syncopation, you constantly comparing what your brain hears to a steady 4/4 it ‘expects' to hear. And when listening to a soloist improvise, you are comparing the notes your brain hears to the melody it ‘expects’ to hear.

This is obviously not the only effect, not by a long shot, but is that what you mean by “inertia?"

> From what I read, Elixir is very fast at I/O based tasks, especially when there is lots of blocking involved.

Now make two steps back and read this again. What you say is that Elixir is
"very fast" when it comes to tasks when Elixir pretty much doesn't do
anything, so it being fast or slow doesn't matter. Hardly a definition of
"fast".

But it is actually true for BEAM machine. It was never intended to be fast, it
was intended for running many tasks at the same time (so that none of them
starves others for any reason).
Because we're talking about patronage systems here, profit isn't strictly necessary - you just have to be able to attract patrons; and patrons have to be especially valued by society (gain status) for sponsoring artists with even small followings. (Although government patronage might have to be part of the transition to such a scheme.) Then more older folk artists could be included, but I think this will do more to address future unemployment than present unemployment. I'd settle for that, it seems an ambitious at that.

Yup. ISP gets DMCA notice, notice says date and time and IP -- ISP absolutely capable of knowing which customer was assigned that IP at that time.

You can't really take DMCA notices with a "grain of salt". Many ISPs will just cut you as a customer after you get enough of them, as DMCA notices require effort on their part and the amount of effort their IT and legal staff spend dealing with other IT and legal staff looking for you quickly exceeds how much you are paying a month. So unless your area has an overabundance of ways to get internet to your home (in which case you must not live in America), you probably can't afford to have your ISP ban you from using their service.
Ask HN: Recommended language to learn data manipulation
I have a few very large datasets (in csv format) that I need to work with that completely overwhelm Excel. I'm looking for recommendations on a single language (or minimal number of languages) that I could learn in order to take these datasets in and start running various calculations on.

Simplicity and future usefulness of the programming environment I'll be learning are my highest ranked criteria.

I'm not necessarily looking for a how-to book (though I wouldn't turn it down) I'm really just looking for language advice. There's a lot out there on the Internet, and much of the advice is conflicting.

Happy text
I'm worried that it may just be my love for microcomputers, old mainframes, and just computers in general that is clouding my judgement but I think this would really improve the understanding of computational systems for anyone who was so inclined to participate in the course(s) required to teach this material. Much like the steriotipical sex-ed course where students are made to carry a baby I think college CS students should be made to "carry"* their example computer that they have worked so hare to maintain and program.

I feel that something like this would be rather easy to do, cost wise, as many fanatics (in an endering sense of the word) have constructed kits that replecate the functionality of these machiens. One such example is the PDP-8 kit. This would make it extremely affordable to build systems like these for may students to come. [0]

I'm not saying that this exact system should be used, I'm just a fan of DIGITAL and wish I could play with more of their gear (anyone in NJ with a PDP or other microcomputers my email is in my profile), but the stands.

- It's cheap to make
- They understand the "GOOD OLD DAYS" to better understand design choices made on old software they will be maintaining
- Due to the tough constraints of these machines they will likely cut corners. Corners we all have cut before. They will see the pain of doing that in a safe enviroment where millions of dollars or lives aren't on the line (like in the real world).
- They will know every portion of the computer inside and out.
- They'll get to friggen build things! Make things work! Really Program! (We all know the feeling of getting shit done and how addictive that is)

* Not carry everywhere, just to class and home.

>> slow as hell

> A bit of an exaggeration.

Actually, no. Last time I compared BEAM (Erlang) and something else, Erlang
code that only parsed text data from a file (CSV) was several times slower
than Perl script that parsed that, built a structure, serialized it, and wrote
back to a disk file (BerkeleyDB).

> It's quite faster than Ruby (while keeping coder-friendly features such as auto-rollup to bignums).

I doubt it, unless Ruby (MRI is what I think of) is an extremely poorly
written interpreter.

> If you use pattern-matching correctly, it is EXTREMELY fast at I/O or binary parsing.

It's not. It's slow (I've seen it when comparing with other runtimes). It was
never intended to be fast. It was always intended to be convenient and
highly concurrent.

Peter Thiel has described at length this kind of error

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLJIpBexKhQ

It has always impressed me how doctrinal higher education as a terminal goal has become for the middle class. I personally believe it is utterly worthless for 9/10 of the people going to college right now. The students would be better off doing almost anything else.

As always, going too far either way is a bad idea. I've worked with "optimise everything ahead of time" people before and it can be an astonishing waste of time.

You shouldn't completely ignore performance all the way through and assume you can sprinkle it on top later, but you shouldn't spend months squeezing the last few ms out of a feature that the client will change / remove when they try it anyway.

> Really, you are gonna refactor a 100k Java codebase to be fast when its done?

Maybe? Depends where the problems are. If the problems are huge architectural ones, no that sounds terrible. If the problem can be solved by later improving an inner loop somewhere and getting things solved then sure.

This article agrees with other articles and books I've been reading on the topic.

One interesting and troubling aside:

This is focused on the working class and so doesn't talk very much about college educated people. But it does mention education, and still holds it up as a way forward. Well, that's also being hollowed out.

There's a large and growing number of college graduates who cannot find a decent job and who amass large amounts of student debt. They did everything they were supposed to, but the jobs aren't there. Or the jobs are not what they used to be (see adjuncts v. tenure in academia, for instance). Or after all that schooling and debt, you have to "pay to play" by taking long term unpaid internships in expensive cities, which only the affluent can afford.

This is bad on its own for people who would normally go to college and get white collar jobs, but it also destroys upward mobility for the working class.

It's not just about unions and manufacturing any more. Hollowing out the middle class has become structural.
Fails for me because I connect to their website via IPV6.

IPv6 is unsupported temporary

Odd though, if you don't support searching via IPV6, why have a website that accepts IPV6 connections?

Edit: Likely because they are using Cloudflare, which bridges IPV6 to IPV4. They should probably turn that off until they support IPV6 searches...it's under the network settings in cloudflare's control panel.

Computer science is not about computers; where does stuff like algorithms fit into this?

What is a "true scottsman" of CS? Low level programmers? What about people that have pioneered the theory of computer science? The likes of Karp, Valiant, Cook, Blum, Vazirani, Papdimitriou, Micali, Goldwasser, Goldreich, Shamir, Rivest and etc.?

I doubt these people know the inner workings of computers, but they have revolutionized our view of what it means to compute.

Increasingly today the underlying architecture, for most intents, is becoming irrelevant (to first order of magnitude). The biggest gains are not made from superoptimizing compilers, but from algorithmic efficiency. That doesn't figure anywhere in your curriculum.

I think your curriculum would be great as an intro to computer architecture, or even as a series covering the topic, but I don't think it's an adequate introduction to computer science.
You're right; "control" may be too strong a word. In any case, they did at least consider it. :)
It doesn't seem like there is a ton of need for software in solar, but I could be wrong. It seems to me that solar technology is mostly in line of something like a power semiconductor. You need lots of people who understand semiconductor physics and process to manufacture the panels. Then an EE puts is all together. There is software at all of those steps, but it seems to be more of a cost than the primary product.

I've heard this idea too. The inertia is the physical incarnation of the predicted motion. I'm talking about playing the music, not only listening, it makes a difference. Talking about syncopation in terms of overall time signature is only partially valid. You can syncopate by altering an accent place while still on the same time. Think a dead note on drum or bass. It totally alters the feeling. My understanding is that A B C D isn't interpreted the same as A b c D, because there's a variation of energy between these for notes. It's implied in most music. For instance Rock is 4/4, Funk is 4/4 but it's not rock.. where's the difference ? implied change in energy (Rock is almost linear, a smooth wave; funk is superficially linear, close inspection reveals very weak and short changes). Same for jazz, to swing a beat you can't just play at the right time; it has to be the right momentum. Otherwise it will be flat aka no swing. It's hard to describe, the best I could find was in physics, momentum and internal system energy. The inertia is in your wrist and stick, it's always flowing back and forth between cymbals and your fingers. The change of perception of the listener comes from the player understanding of this.

There's a lot of "feels" that you cannot represent without that. But these aren't studied formally, funk, latin, caribean music. Jazz is but I think the people studying jazz don't explain everything because they're talking among themselves and already have internalized all this. So they just write "swing this" above a measure and the cats will deal with it.

oh: and I just thought of something else. The idea of prediction; since I relate everything to physics, often feels similar to a sense of internal balance. I mean your body position, as in not tripping. Syncopated music often feels like falling. Maybe it's synesthesia but considering that all these music were linked to parties and dance I think it's not far fetched that our musical prediction is the same as the one that tries to predict how to balance movements and body.
I remember trying to learn a garbage-collected language with curly braced blocks, functions and infix operators years ago, but was hung up on there being a million implementations. I think I tried to use Java, but was hung up on the book's C# statements that weren't supported out of the box. Any recommendations for a more-friction free experience?

How about this recommendation: use the exact same language that your book or tutorial teaches!

Racket has even gone out of its way not to be named Scheme (it was a Scheme once called PLT Scheme, but changed its name). Scheme, in turn, went out of its way not to be named Lisp.

A tutorial that purports to be about Lisp is quite probably about a traditional language which has characteristics such as the symbol nil being a self-evaluating expression representing the empty list and Boolean false.

Algorithms and complexity theory are independent of any physical model of computation; they capture what it means to compute.

The entire field of theoretical computer science stands as a counterexample to your comment. Computer science is not about software engineering.
Anecdote: When I was in middle school I failed horribly at my first year of algebra classes and just couldn't seem to get a grip on the concepts (also I would often see "shortcuts" in the problems that would lead to horribly wrong answers). I would score about 50% on every quiz. I could tell my teacher thought I was an idiot.

Around that time I started learning music theory and playing in the school band, and learning jazz on the bass. The next year I was at the top of all of my math classes. My teachers thought I was cheating since I had developed a reputation as a "burnout" by that time (there's nothing more satisfying than getting called in after class to take a test in front of a smug teacher and acing it).

Also, even though I quit playing music about 10 years ago, to this day I can map out a melody in my head (I can immediately tell the interval between any two notes and string them together to play a melody on the first attempt), and I can pick apart mult-part harmonies because I can hear them in my head. I very clearly remember walking home from school one day and realizing that for the first time I could hear more than one note at a time in my head.

Music definitely rewires the brain in amazing ways.
