I'm not sure how Tansley's concept of ecosystems applies to software (it's just a buzzword to me), but if you mean how to get software running on existing systems to run on a new system, that would take time and effort. If the operating system is intended to run on specific devices (like Magenta/Fuchsia), it might need its own "ecosystem" anyway.
There is the LLVM backend in Erlang as of version 17. I haven't seen much info on it. I haven't seen anyone try to go the whole process from Erlang code to LLVM to Emscripten to JavaScript. I am interested to know what hurdles there might be, performance, etc.
While you're here and we're talking about granting private access to third party organizations... I've actually brought this up on several support request. I have several organizations authorized under my account which were active before the third party access was disabled by default.

The problem is I can't simply tell the company to disable third party access since it would revoke all the SSH keys across the board. Imagine the nightmare, support requests and coordination that would take to things back to normal. The other nuclear option is if I leave the organization before granting access to third party apps. It's been very frustrating for me as I'm hesitant to authorize third party apps since I can't pick and choose organization access on an individual level.

Another interesting aspect is that AlphaGo gets a larger advantage over human players if it plays novel moves and forces rare situations that the human players are not familiar with. So if AlphaGo is allowed to self-play a long time and "drift away" in strategy space from human games that could help a lot. This is even more the case in time-limited matches where the humans are forced to play intuitively in out of sample states.

At its end the essay says there will be a part II that will address the question of how much deeper these sorts of causal explanations could go. Is there a link available for it?

My own view is that such causal explanation has to stop somewhere, and we are left with, as Parfit mentions at a few points, sheer awe.

I think this is an example of the larger principle that human understanding is finite. Another example would be Colin McGinn's argument the human mind is not the sort of intelligence that could understand why consciousness (in the hard problem meaning of the term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness)....

I think that furthermore the finiteness of human intelligence is linked with many other types of finitude, such as our being mortal material bodies with material brains in a material world, and that philosophy is to a great extent the process of determining how finite things are in each area or aspect of reality, and how these various finitudes connect with each other in an overall pattern.

I would add that I think that many if not most philosphical disagreements are based at least in part on differing views about these finitudes. So for instance Platonism holds that many apparent finitudes are in fact delusions, while Aristotle tends to affirm them as real.

Because google isn't really a search engine anymore

I think you might say Google isn't /just/ a search engine anymore. That said, it still very much returns results I search for. How it processes and indexes web content or displays those results doesn't seem restricted by the name "search engine".
So the Games games that they advertise in the god damn press release that need to download like 4+ GB of data once you install them from the store which cannot be stored on SD or in the magic "cloud" of yours are meant for what?

What about apps that can be as big as few GB's these days for prosumer apps?

What about the cache that the apps use that cannot be stored on an SD card or in the cloud?

What about the fact that internet is still not available everywhere and the fact that these devices do not come with cellular networking built-in?

They sure want me to use the device wrong since they advertise media and games rather than cloud storage.

A school doesn't need computers, it need remote terminals for that most Chromebooks are fine since they'll be used only in a networked environment.

This is a premium device touted as a laptop replacement; don't sell me the cloud.
Neither cloud nor Google Storage isn't mentioned even once in the press-release.

In fact in the 1st paragraph you have:

"And with apps like Google Play Movies and Spotify™, you can download movies, shows and music to keep watching or listening when you’re on the go."

Ember has never been the trendiest and hottest framework.

It quietly sits in the back, takes what it can get from other frameworks and attempts to innovate on them (see FastBoot vs. the mess that is server-rendered React) while enjoying a smaller but lively community.

For example, the Ember NYC meetup is a lot better than any React NYC one I've been to in terms of community and quality.

How and why you should use CAA records
I find it difficult to imagine that this was written by a professor of mathematics. In order to suggest this viewpoint, you must have no idea of what software can and cannot automate in mathematical reasoning, not actually have developed mathematical reasoning and have relied on memorization of formulas so far, or be pushing an agenda.
Mind you that you're writing that point on news.ycombinator.com (another '90s-esque site).

Maybe people prefer a "newer" web interface when it doesn't have ads, banners, popups, auto-playing-content, clutter (see yahoo), oversized images, 25 tracking scripts loading, but the lesson seems to be that too simple trumps too complex. An example that gets it exactly right IMHO is gmail.

The OTHER problem with having a nice UI is then people start to want to redesign every year, buy new logos, constantly adapt new design and FE trends (make it flat! make it angular! make it ES6! make it react! now pre-render on the server!).

To be clear, my job description is "doc writer". I've been posting a ton on HN for _years_, and advocating for Rust before I ever had a job working on it. At the time that post was written, I was a contractor, and it wasn't clear if I was ever going to stay on with Mozilla; historically, I've told everyone this was a short-term gig, though my feelings on that have been changing a bit.

Regardless of that, if you ever hear me saying Rust is a "panacea" or "immediately re-write everything [in Rust]", call me out on it. I don't agree with either of those positions. I want people to accurately understand what's going on, not mislead them.

(I _do_ want to see more people using Rust, because I love it, but not everyone will also love Rust, and that's totally fine.)

Elementary OS News
As software developers I think its easy for us to jump on this bandwagon that if you hand code all the things then you can make a super fast site and the internet would be such a wonderful place; and then thinking its all those heathen script kiddies using these junk JS frameworks slowing our browsers down.

I know I'm guilty of this line of thinking so I'm not judging, but I also think many companies big and small are actually making rather rational decisions when it comes to site performance and the use of JS frameworks. For instance where I work its common for us to knowingly slow down performance on a given page because the feature makes the company X money that offsets the performance loss and the time and money it would take to make it perform better. This compounds over time, but all along the way the business is making reasonable decisions. Frameworks like Ember allow great developers to add powerful features quickly for the businesses to monetize on. I don't think we should write off performance initiatives in these frameworks just because we know they won't live up to a vanilla JS implementation. I also don't think its fair to disparage the movement of thick JS frameworks on these grounds. Many of start-up's and large companies wouldn't be able to lift off products as quickly as they have without the head starts that frameworks such as Ember have given them.
> Full stop, no it isn't.

It was my understanding that 18 U.S. Code § 871 included depictions enticing or encouraging such acts. I will look this up and come back with more information at a later time.

And to be clear here I mean a depiction of an actual US president. Not a fictitious president.

> Full stop, no it doesn't. Where the heck are you getting such misinformation? It is not just wrong, it is bordering on libel.

The mainstream news media is where I am getting this information. I remember it being reported on during the Pearl Harbor film some years ago (Bush Administration). Though I see it all the time: the SONY Leaks disclosed how the State Department and CIA helped to influence "The Interview" so that it would both depict the assassination of their president and to encourage civil unrest.

I take the libel statement seriously. I will pass it by my attorney. Difficult to discuss here, as neither of us are lawyers.

> There is an audience for those films.

Not a point.
I don't watch many major movie releases anymore so I could well be out of the loop and misinformed. If Hollywood is truly getting better at not using the kinds of ethnic, racial, and gender tropes that make for cheap laughs and storytelling then that is very good news to me.

Um, yeah. I have no info about a secret global cabal of billionaires (whatever you meant by that).

Anyway, what's surprising is not that the majority of the wealthiest billionaires supported Clinton. What's surprising is that the majority of the wealthiest billionaires supported a candidate who went on to lose the election.

NTFS and exFAT are useless since Android can't mount SD cards that are formatted with those properly. You may be able to hack the OS to read from them but then they can't be mounted for general purpose use.
If you are running Android 6.0 you can mount the SD card as internal storage if you format it in EXT4 and encrypt it which also locks the SD card to your that phone and you can't swap it in and out since it will break apps and as it's encrypted you can't transfer files to it manually.

>You just invalided your argument, no single music gets to more than 4GB.

What? it's not about a single music file getting bigger than 4GB it's about the 3000 music files that Spotify allows me to download reach considerably more than that when you download them on higher quality.

>You keep giving examples with media. eMMC is fast enough for media playback. It is not ideal for, say, random file access, however it is getting better.

You should really look at storage benchmarks and see just how "well" the 7 plus does "raw" photos on the 32GB model, especially in rapid mode.

>> Also SD cards are slow, die fairly quickly, can easily get lost, and buying 256GB of storage in microSDXC Class 10 cards from a reliable source (as in definitely not fake) costs about as much as the difference between an iPad/iPhone with a 32GB and 256GB here in the UK.
Good for you. Here in Brazil an iPhone 7 256GB is twice as expensive than the base 32GB model. FYI, this is a R$2000 difference, while a good, professional grade 256GB SD card is half of this price.
And btw, you're assuming that you need to buy one SD card to put everything on it. You could buy multiple smaller SD cards (say 32GB or 64GB cards), that are very fast and high quality and get much more storage than one unique 256GB SD card (that are expensive since they're pushing the quantity of flash that you can put in a small space like microSD). Smaller cards have much better price per GB.

>Good for you. Here in Brazil an iPhone 7 256GB is twice as expensive than the base 32GB model. FYI, this is a R$2000 difference, while a good, professional grade 256GB SD card is half of this price.

And? how does offering a 256 model affects you? In the UK buying 4 64GB cards not of Amazon where even the Amazon fulfilled orders are at best only about 50% chance of getting an authentic card if you are ordering a decent brand will cost you about 150-160 GBP since Currys/JL etc sell them for about 40 GBP, an iPhone 7/7p costs 180 GBP more for the 256GB model.
>But Mr. Assange has often said that the organization does not always know the identity of its sources.

On the article itself:

This is the most interesting type of posts about choosing Rust. Very balanced and aware that Rust gives a lot of upsides, but compared to other alternatives there are measurable downsides as well.

I think the biggest trade-off that they identified (and I've also gotten the impression from writing Rust on my own time, not for work) is the relative immaturity of the ecosystem, in as far as libraries available, and amount of developers supporting some of these libraries. What makes me hopeful, is that as a stable language (post 1.0) Rust is still relatively young. And you can definitely see things improving, with the community growing, more libraries propping up, and also gathering around specific libraries.
