The trivial case of a Turing machine that can be proven to halt is one with only one state: halted.

This is something I haven't found an ideal solution for yet. There are existing iOS PDF readers with reflow, but each seems to have its own issues.

To echo what others have said, this is an actual pain point and I'm very willing to spend money on a solid solution. I've bought a few different PDF readers just on the chance their reflow would be better than what I've found elsewhere.

So I clicked on your link pretty ready to throw money at you, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Is this an iOS app? Android app? It seems like some kind of service, since it wants me to login, but I can't tell.

SuperSampling or downsampling (there might be some nuanced differences between the two). AFAIK, MSAA works at the render resolution and you can have it in addition to downsampling, although at a very poor ratio of computation to reward.

But I thought that this quote was interesting:

The article states that there is no known connection between Thiel and this current lawsuit, but it does make you wonder. Has TechDirt done anything to anger Thiel? He's shown himself to be willing to fund someone else's suit in retaliation...

I just read a great book called Paradise Now about 5 different Utopian movements in the US, Oneida being one of them. It seems the most successful colonies blended business savvy with a coherent set of values and cultivated familial closeness. Capitalist individualism obviously dominated the 20th century, but I can imagine a tech-focused system of common ownership making a comeback.

> You have to read from it, and deal with the result.

They try to keep it simple. As with all I/O: it's blocking your current goroutine, so if you want it non-blocking you spawn a new goroutine to do this in, pass it a channel, the spawned routine proxies the result to it and your main routine does select on that.

The semantics for reading sockets are different from reading channels (compare the types; one is multi valued, the other single valued---EDIT: no they're not, exactly, see [1]), so it kind of makes sense you can't share the same construct.

I'm not a Go apologist by any means, I think it has a tremendous amount of flaws. But I/O, (a)synchronicity and concurrency are not among them. They are simple and consistent, and (most importantly) orthogonal building blocks which you can combine at your leisure to create more complex constructs.

(Besides, how do you interrupt a read, anyway? Or any syscall? You can't do that in C, either...?)

[1] edit: fair is fair, go channel reads are (of course) also multi valued. however, the types still don't exactly match, since you can't pass arguments (buffer) to a channel read. you'd need some extra hoops to jump through, as other commenters suggest, which starts becoming magic and breaking down the simplicity and orthogonality of the constructs.
If you are a software developer and don't think about the social impact of what you do then you're being irresponsible.

That seems a bit egotistical.

If I'm trying to make some in-house enterprisey thing run twice as fast, chances are there isn't much in the way of societal impact for me to think about.

If I'm building a sub-sub-component of some new system, chances are I don't have enough information to even start guessing at the overall effects of the complete system as it will eventually end up being used.
My dislike of the level of discourse on Twitter has nothing to do with my "emotional attachment to the subject". It's a total shitshow regardless of whether or not I care or even know anything about the subject.

Dominic seems like a truly awesome guy. He also frequents /r/javascript. What I hope is that eventually Inferno can be entirely replaced with React and the teams merged. Right now though the two are similar enough to not stop someone from moving back and forth (especially when Inferno offers a React shim), but are different enough to warrant their own existences.

I think the entry route to programming has historically had a lot in common with how somebody starts tinkering with machines (cars, appliances, farm equipment, timepieces, etc), despite the fact that programming is about manipulating abstract concepts and tinkering is about manipulating physical machines.

When telling their origin stories, many programmers will start by recounting the first physical computer they owned and how programming was a result of learning how to manipulate that machine. To me, it sounds an awful lot like how car guys talk about their first cars.

Anyway, just a hunch.
Prompted by this, I went through and aggressively pruned my follow list.

I was struck how most of the most interesting people I was following pretty much don't tweet any more.

Not sure if that speaks to how they became interesting, how much Twitter squandered what was once a special community, or both.
Yeah, I totally didn't believe it then either. I wouldn't doubt they'll lose users one day, but I seriously doubt they'll lose many anytime soon.
No, because the tools are very similar and they can just ask contributors to adapt to the maintaners wishes. Code diffs are such a small part of reviewing a new feature. "Just deal with it" is what I think. I don't require notepad on my Mac, so why should they require gerrit on github? And besides, if they want to they can just diff it on their own machines with whatever tools they like!
Some ideas:

* Create general categories I can click to see what's behind the curtain. For example "see web development jobs", etc.

* Show a random selection on the front page.

* Let me just browse anything before signing up.

The page just looks really sketchy otherwise. Sign up with my real name from the start - but why? How do I tell this site apart from random name/email/password collection scam?

As long as funding correlates strongly with winning, or at least appears to correlate strongly with winning. If that ever goes away, legislators are going to look at lobbyists with a more skeptical eye.
+1 for reviewable. In addition to this feature reviewable's diff display is a lot nicer. For example it does a much better job handling whitespace only changes when a block of code gets reindented but otherwise doesn't change.
Snapchat cited false user numbers to boost its IPO, alleges lawsuit by ex-worker
This is my real fear here. I am an immigrant in valley for a while now. I have always thought that the reason america has such a thriving service sector based economy is because they have a safety net to fall back to, which allows ppl to be free to take more risks & be generally more consumptive. My fear is that slowly as republicans take that safety net away it will force people to fix these problems at the individual level which will make them more conservative. overall I feel that (alongwith the fkups on science education) will have a detrimental effect on american competitiveness & larger economy.

I do think that privatizing SS & medicare will give markets a one time boost & generally help those who are 'better vested'.
This would be solved if the "select" keyword was also working on I/O objects. It could gain special io.ReadReady and io.WriteReady channels that return a boolean.

This would also simplify most of the code that tries to pull events from different sources, including I/O. Right now each I/O needs to be extracted in it's own goroutine (adding error handling makes it worse):

fromIO := make(chan []byte)
go func() {
for {
buf := myPool.Get()
myIO.Read(buf)
fromIO <- buf
}
}()

for {
select {
case a := <-fromIO:
// do one thing
case b := <-fromOtherChan:
// something else
}
}

After the change:

for {
select {
case <-myIO.ReadReady:
buf := myPool.Get()
myIO.Read(a)
case b := <-myOtherChan:
// ...
}

You're right. But there will realistically still be some protocol-level buffering in user-mode for every socket.
Although that might be a good use-case for a hash table of buffers, as most of the sockets will not have outstanding partial packets most of the time in typical (frequent small message) applications.

I for one hope we're getting better at that: we're sharing more tests across browsers than ever before, and I think that's quite possibly going to end up being the de-facto norm for all new tests this year.

Of course, that doesn't mean that we'll get rid of all bugs, but it does mean that more bugs should be found before shipping.

(As a disclaimer: this is essentially the majority of what I've got paid to do over the past year-and-a-bit.)
@viraptor: All fair points, thank you. This is only the first release, so there's lots to work on still.
Oh yeah, collapsing whitespace-only changes is excellent. But even better is how it can detect and collapse changes introduced by rebasing the PR.
About the "go without redux point", I've switched to MobX, and it helped me greatly for this, as I can implement proper state handling very quickly even when the project is in it's infancy. You just create a class, throw @observable in it and boom, you get everything without any boiler code.
That's not really a defense per se, just a warning that something is wrong. I had pain in my left eye when I burned my retina with a laser, too, but that didn't reduce the damage.

I don't know, and won't pretend to know. Again, it all comes down to the merits. One might very well make the case that companies should be compensated for providing data in some cases.

I was objecting solely to the "business rights" aspect some people were bringing up (and which comes up continuously in discussions about regulation and business ethics generally, here) -- which we seem to be roughly on the same page on.
The title is a bit clickbait-y.

a) think that "knowledge professions" are some kind of unicorn job where special snowflake sauce is required, and it's obviously totally different from those gritty "manual labour jobs" and you have to constantly set yourself apart (how arrogant is that?!)

b) purport this strange notion that psyche has little to do with the body. Digger won't dig? Just whip'em, it'll work for sure.

SEEKING FREELANCERS - REMOTE (anywhere on the globe)

Our calling is to be behind the scenes, using technology to enhance impact and sustainability, as well as reducing the distractions and stress on leaders.

We're in the middle of a sales spike which will result in many multi-faceted needs. Even without the sales spike, we have a lot to work on! Some focus areas:

- Java development: Spring and Hibernate are requirements. Bonus points for jOOQ.
- PHP development: Well-rounded, but initially WordPress focused.
- Systems and API integration: Tie 3rd party solutions together into cohesive, automated strategies. A mix of API deep-dives, business requirements analysis, and custom development. Systems typically include payment and donation platforms, CRM, donor retention, mailing, etc.
- Task automation. This is super multifaceted, but the typicals (Python, Perl, etc.) come up frequently.
- Mobile app developers: Native and hybrid apps are in the pipeline.
- Front-end developers

Must be fun and easy going. Must be used to remote, asynchronous environments. Our primary focus is serving others!

If that describes you, I'd love to chat!

its impossible to predict when FB will die (most companies die). its like timing a market top, we know its coming but getting exact timing is hard.

just some anecdotal facts: i know lots of my friends (mid age working professionals) realize that FB is a waste of time and if anything try to avoid it more and more. its just a matter of time before other platform takes over.

How is web browsing at that density? I'm nervous to pick up a 4K display even at 30-32 inches, as I don't think scaling is solved in Windows or on the web (though that's just speculation).
> It scares me so much that I'd rather pay the taxes now, and invest as I please.

If government is desperate enough to tax retirement funds at 2x the previous rates, they're desperate enough to tax everything at higher rates, so "investing as you please" won't get you anywhere better.

> That's too risky for me

If technology and healthcare innovations raise the healthy life expectancy by 20 years, why would that be too risky for you? Is it because you have non-standard medical problems?
"No one gets fired for buying an IBM"
This is what happens to me:

1) Google Chrome doesn't always explicitly ask for a CCV. If it does, the browser dialog opens.

2) It actually charges $1 per CCV check to verify the credit card.

3) If the CCV check is successful, it does the autofill on the form. However, you still have to enter the CCV in the form manually most of the time.

4) The $1 charge is immediately canceled and thus doesn't affect your account balance.

For reference, here's a screenshot of how my bank receives such a charge: http://imgur.com/qwdM9Jx.png

To be clear, this is not from any Google purchase. That's what happens if I use my CC in Chrome on any site.

It also has to be noted that this implementation is pretty bad. On pre-paid CC (i.e. your CC payments are directly tied to your bank account - there is no CC bill), this will negatively impact your spending balance:

Account balance: All your money.

Spending balance: (account balance) - (pending charges)

Some banks refuse to apply the charge cancellation sent by Google and keep the pending charge active for some fixed amount of time (e.g. 90 days).

If it's not for public safety or something of that nature, I don't see why the government should really care.

Aside from public safety, there's a whole lot of reasons -- from measuring how efficient these services really are (in a rapidly changing transportation landscape) to ensuring truly open and fair competition among potential providers -- for which regulators (and the public generally) might have an interest in this data.

Social security's 2030 "insolvency" was a political decision not an economic inevitability.
Adding vitriol doesn't make your ridiculous theory any more accurate. The markets had a sizable bump as soon as Trump won the election, and all indications are of a business-friendly administration and house after eight years of a business-hostile administration. Things are looking so good for the first time in a while that the fed may be able to raise interest rates without worrying about tanking a fragile economy.

Ergo, there will be more people with more money to invest. Maybe they all decide that they hate software, but I'm not seeing it. The only thing that's "bad" is the strengthening US dollar, and that ordinary interest rates make a bank a reasonable place to put some money.

Sorry to pierce your echo chamber. And your "might be you next" threat? So tacky. As if the many startup software engineers here haven't been laid off before. And if anybody at Medium making/announcing this decision said it had something to do with Trump's election, I hope you've lost all respect for that clown.
It's not all that standard on Linux under the covers either, because the package manager is a function of the distribution and its ecosystem and there are two main package ecosystems rpm (current package manager: yum) and deb (current package manager: apt) and a very long tail of other package systems and ecosystems. If you stick primarily to a single distribution you wind up mostly fine (until you need packages outside your ecosystem), if you need to interact with multiple ecosystems things get more complex.

The big difference between something like Chocalatey and rpm/deb Linux package ecosystems is more one of scale (how many packages exist in the ecosystem; how many players are expected/required to buy into the ecosystem).

An interesting twist to this is that PowerShell in Windows 10 'recently' added a meta-package manager "OneGet" that was designed to use a single set of commands to learn to work with a wide collection of package ecosystems (including, but not limited to, Chocolatey, NuGet, MSI installers, Docker packages, whatever other sort of provider someone wants to build).
If you expect taxes to be higher in the future, then the obvious answer would be to borrow utility from your future self and consume more in the present.
