Modern chess engines take a lot of effort to hide this problem. For example, an engine might know from a table that it can win a king+rook vs king+pawn endgame, and then throws away its second rook to reach such a position.

Humans using the engine don't like this however, and so the authors build in heuristics to make it play more "humanly". Things like using scores for positions, rather than "chance of winning" is also largely for the sake of the users.

Making assumptions like this is a dangerous habit.

1. React and Ember are different things, one is a framework, the other is not.

2. Ember 2.0 was a backwards compatible evolution of 1.0 that shifted the approach from MVC (old state of the art) to a more components based approach (similar to React in concept, not in implementation). Tom Dale was instrumental in making this happen, he didn't just ship v1 then proceeded to use React while doing some sad Ember support on the sidelines.

3. Why would he be one of them? Angular 1.x was the best thing for many JS developers, yet React came along. Why wouldn't the React developers just love Angular 1? There's a possibility that React will loose popularity to another solution.

4. Popularity is one potential indicator of how good a solution is. Despite it's popularity, many seasoned JS developers heavily disliked Angular 1.x because it felt like an overengineered-java-like-approach to building web apps. There are many seasoned JS programmers who are moving away from React to other solutions (Angular 2, Ember) because they have other pain points now, than 2 years ago.
For example, Tom Dale once told me that he doesn't like redux as a solution for keeping the entire app state - yet Redux is all the rave now in Reactland.

5. JS (similar to PHP) has huge numbers of junior developers that can't build a web app on their own yet are working inside teams and are, in various degrees, competent at doing specific tasks. Almost all of the junior developers I know have heard of React and want to work with it despite not having the least understanding of what problems it solves and what problems it adds.
Transport efficiency for electricity is way higher than 75%. Total transmission losses are around 7% in the US. Plant efficiency is worse than 95%, because chlorophyll only responds to certain wavelengths well. LED lighting for plant growth doesn't use white LEDs.
As far as I know, Jewish people began going into finance because it was the only field allowed them barring being domestic servants.

They weren't considered true citizens of the nations they resided in and were not allowed to own land, join any profession that had a guild, etc.

This was exacerbated by the fact that until near the end of the middle ages, usury considered unbecoming of Christians and distinctly sinful (an ideal shared by modern day Islam). By not being Christians, Jews were free to become bankers and this later was enforced by aforementioned laws forcing them to only be bankers.

> Does this mean we need to have an initiative to get more non Jewish people into banking? Most people will say certainly not.

I would say this means we have to look into why we as a society still look down on banking professionals, and treat it as a necessary evil at best.

Ya, that was my thinking. And likewise with the sort of hybrid, constrained neural net setup we're discussing here, you could likewise 'discuss' the constraints, inputs, perhaps even the thought process to some extent. But like a human, it couldn't tell you the exact causal path taken to arrive at the decision.
MCQ Questions on Data Transmission Techniques Part-2 – InfoTechSite
I have two fun answers to this question.

One is that we are in a simulation and our higher order universe has no conception of cause and effect.

Two is that we are the side effects of a mathematical system. (This one is harder to explain on mobile.) Consider Wolfram's rule 110. With simple inputs, the results iterated over and over again become arbitrarily complex. Perhaps complex enough to be life like? Perhaps complex enough to simulate a universe?

But consider that if you could actually simulate something complex with a mathematical system, no cause is required, in the same way that no cause is required for the empty cell to have whatever output exists when you iterate rule 110 on it 10000 times. Our universe could just be playing out some mathematical formula already set down.

Sorry, that probably makes no sense. It's a bastardized explanation of something I read on lesswrong ages ago.
Interesting. From chess it seems that, for important matches, players will deeply study each other's games and try to get the other player into positions that they may be less used to playing and less comfortable with.

By me, for one, and I have nothing to do with Mozilla. I just follow HN for years, and have read Steve's comments even before he was working for Mozilla. He is just passionate about Rust and posts about it on HN (as opposed on the Mozilla blogs) on his own time, as he did on his own blog back in the day. As do other people, whether they work for Mozilla or not.

No it should not.

If he knows how Trump has influence on Medium's business he didn't show it. I'm more than eager to hear that storyline. I would be interested in something more concrete than the numerous "the sky is falling" articles based 99% on the author's personal feelings and fantasies though. That obsession with Trump is a mania by now, that and "Russian hackers", a self-feeding frenzy.

Your question is addressed in the fourth paragraph at the link:

> "Then why 6502? Why not a useful assembly language, like x86? Well, I don’t think learning x86 is useful. I don’t think you’ll ever have to write assembly language in your day job - this is purely an academic exercise, something to expand your mind and your thinking. 6502 was originally written in a different age, a time when the majority of developers were writing assembly directly, rather than in these new-fangled high-level programming languages. So, it was designed to be written by humans. More modern assembly languages are meant to written by compilers, so let’s leave it to them. Plus, 6502 is fun. Nobody ever called x86 fun."

This assumes that the age discrimination is an absolute criteria (over age x? Out) and not one of several factors (e.g. a tie breaker if you have multiple broadly similar applicants).
Another reason to avoid -Werror is if you pull in third party code that you share your build options with. Even large stable open source projects regularly spew hundreds of warnings when you aggressively turn them on.

I'll generally build my own code with all warnings, but use as close as I can to the package maintainer's build settings for their code. Even then, you can get warnings because the third party developer doesn't use your exact compiler.
Write the posts on a self-hosted site, then syndicate them to Medium and share those links on social media.

Another option is to use a custom domain with Medium[0]. That way, if Medium goes out of business, you could just set up a self-hosted replacement blog with redirects for the URLs for the posts you made on Medium.

Odd... The dead reply under here looks like an excellent reply. I wonder what I'm missing...

Anyway, 6502 is a super easy processor to program on. Back in the old days (and maybe even still) universities often used non-existent processors for teaching assembly language programming and associated concepts. I learned 6502 as a child on my Apple II and even when I went to university, I always thought it was a much better first starting place simply because it lacks anything complicated at all.

To be honest, even though I have fond memories of 6502, if it were me, I might have chosen 6809 since it gives you a few more facilities and makes a couple of things a bit easier. But it's not crucial...

You can certainly learn using a more modern processor, but there is a lot more stuff to keep track of. The idea of starting with a super simple processor and then graduating to a more modern and complex processor makes sense to me.

> I'd like a programming language that is statically compiled, with good performance, garbage collection, and decent support for abstraction.

It feels like you're mixing actual requirements (like "good performance" and "decent support for abstraction") here with things that are more like implementation details ("garbage collection", "statically compiled"). I don't really understand why you want "garbage collection", as such, though I could understand wanting some kind of increased productivity from not having to think about memory management. However, if your real requirement is as I describe it here, then I would still contend that Rust fits the bill.

Question: better threading performance seems to be the main motivation for this project. Could they not just use multiprocessing instead of threading for the cpu-heavy parts of the YouTube codebase, and threading or asyncio for the io-bound parts of it?

Edit: for example, the fib benchmark they cite is cpu-bound. If the python code used multiprocessing, the performance would scale almost linearly with the number of processes.

I'm not into Ember and have no clue how it compares to the other SPA frameworks. But from these political point of view it doesn't look worse than the others. React and Angular might die or change in an unsuitable way even sooner since they are driven by other big companies for their own merits. Maybe extjs or aurelia might be different, since they are maintained by companies which earn their money through this.

The good thing is that if a company is as big as LinkedIn they could probably maintain the framework on their own if it gets out of favor. Of course they could also directly start a new one for their internal use, but it's questionable if this would get any better than the existing ones.
Luckily, the courts require evidence to make a decision. With a large company, systematic pay discrimination can certainly be observed (or not, if no pay discrimination is taking place). If, for example, all women at a large enough company were being parted a fraction of what men in comparable positions were making, we would have strong statistical evidence of discrimination, and the courts could make a decision against that company.

Requesting data from Google is presumably for this kind of a statistical investigation into whether systematic discrimination has taken place. Google, for its part, is arguing that the particular kinds of data being requested are beyond what is needed for this kind of analysis.
So if the workers are equally distributed they never see each other except at the entrance and during lunch. Nice.
> In the meantime Dropbox's core offering of syncing and sharing files seamlessly as well as providing more security minded options for businesses is something that no one else has quite gotten right.

I'd argue that Dropbox haven't quite gotten it right either: to my knowledge, they still don't support client-side encryption, which is IMHO non-negotiable in any cloud storage product.

I really respect Dropbox's ease-of-use, but I think at this stage in history it's outright irresponsible to offer a cloud service in which one can see one's customers' data.

I've found Medium incredibly useful for my open source blogging. First and foremost, it saves me from a ton of hassle picking a platform and theme for something like Wordpress, since it looks great on pretty much every device out of the box. It also has some great features that let people from the community submit posts to our publication.

Also, Medium is a great way for people to follow a variety of blogs - so not only do we still get all of the reads we get from normal sources like Twitter, sharing, etc, but you get a lot of people reading your posts from their Medium feed. In fact, for a lot of posts most of the views come from our Medium subscribers.

I agree with other commenters that setting up a custom domain is a good idea if you think you might want to move to some other platform in the future, especially if Medium is not around forever.
If the price is over the maximum deductible for the patient, insurance companies are interested in more expensive things. This gives the insurance company latitude to increase costs.

Since there's a legal limit on profit margins, increasing costs will let them increase revenue elsewhere...earning 8% on $2000 is more interesting than 8% on $1000.

Doctors don't care about the price because they're not paying. You don't care about the price because it's over your deductible. Insurers don't care because they have latitude to raise prices every year. manufacturers don't care because the decision makers don't care.

The French system has a "base price" that they will reinburse for medical supplies/tools. Doctors can go over, but then it's out of pocket for the patient.

For me, the hardest part was migrating from Python 2 string to Python 3 Unicode string. But at the same time, this was a huge improvement for my code base because I work with several languages and unicode makes that much easier/safer. So it was a good thing.

Now the rest of upgrades were a bit painful (I was using some functional programming stuff, httprequest libraries, etc.)
They're undefined. (From a quick skim.)

However, an implementation could define various UBs however it wants. The difference between "undefined" and "implement-defined" is really that an implementation doesn't have to anything even remotely sensible for "undefined" behavior, but it has do define some ("sensible") behavior for "implementation-defined" behavior. Usually, "implementation-defined" behavior also tends to remain consistent across versions whereas "undefined" behavior usually has no such constraints. For example, for "undefined" behavior, version 5.1.2.3 of the compiler may differ drastically from 5.1.2.4 in terms of optimizations which rely on UB.

Not the OP, but what convinces me is mostly the historical argument for Christianity - the (historical but not scientific) claims of resurrection and the rapid growth of Christianity despite being severely persecuted.

Christianity spreading in the later years is not a big deal - but it growing so much when it was the one being ostracized is noteworthy. Also, people still converting to Christianity in risky areas of the world - I feel people sticking to their faith is a very common thing, but people changing their religion inspite of risks should give us pause.

This is the same as the used car problem. Flexibility in pricing and negotiation increases prices overall, because the base price now needs to be set higher than the objective price of the good. Plus the seller will be much more skilled at negotiating.

In the current model, people without insurance see their prices increase compare to people without insurance. Hospitals charge double to these people because they expect to recover 10% of the bill, so they compensate for that in the model.

The way to capture needs-based payments is an across the board discount. Charge everyone $100 for the treatment, and then offer 90% off for people in need for the entire bill.

This will clarify the real costs and discounts being provided, and reduce ambiguity.

> Rice supports warrentless surveillance.

Warrants are only required in some cases of surveillance. Those who are not U.S. persons do not have a constitutional right to a warrant before being surveilled. Public information does not require a warrant (e.g. the government does not require a warrant to open a phone book). Third parties may volunteer information without a warrant. Items crossing a national border — including communications crossing a national border — do not require a warrant.

There are plenty of constitutional, legal warrantless searches. You may not like some or all of those; I may not like some of those. But neither you nor I are the dictator of the Constitution or the law.

That is not going to happen. Google can sell Google Drive space at a loss, since they have other sources of income (ads, Google Apps subscriptions, etc.). In fact, nothing from Google's terms holds them from mining your Google Drive data for ads (unless you are using Google Apps for Work).

For Dropbox, storage is the only source of income. Most of their income comes from people like me who are modest users ( < 100GB, not a lot of transfer).

Offering intermediate plans would make nearly all users high-loss users.

(I also can't understand why people are expecting to pay only $2 per month for 100GB of highly redundant storage with a top-notch client.)
