The great thing would be if the increased output from this automation matched what USA currently produces in China. Then it could gain independence from China, and China could finally give those goods to their internal markets. And employment standards could be respected in both countries (however products built in USA will still be significantly more expensive, matching hopefully higher salaries).
Likely because it allocates and uses exceptions pervasively.

An informative post from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/5m1vyv/slug/dc0dbu9

Librsvg wasn't maintained for years. We've received a huge amount of security bugs related to librsvg. Easily 10+ within a short timeframe. These weren't fixed because nobody was interested. The code itself is old and far from nice (from what I heard).

Federico volunteered to fix a few of these security bugs. This only resulted in people sending us even more security bugs. That required more time than Federico had. So again politely requesting for more assistance. Etc etc

Eventually Federico starts blogging about Rust, fixing super old but very visible bugs, etc. If you look at the announcement you'll notice how big just this one release is. He did way more.

Wikipedia relies on librsvg. The bugs were really hurting them. At one point it really seemed like maybe we'd better have a developer paid somehow to work on it.

tldr: great effort by Federico.
There are 3 properties, 4 with the addition of my parents' home (which I believe I could probably rent for more than the others, to generate at least around $100k total). They three are all rented out for (at a minimum) the rest of 2017.

I believe the tax basis on the homes has been reset with their passing, so capital gains would be set to $0 if I were to sell immediately (but as we have renters, I don't foresee that happening). These houses are also in a state that doesn't have state income tax, for what it's worth. Sales tax is relatively high though.

I'll definitely be reading more books to get a better grasp on the situation, too - thanks.
The other comments claim it's deliberate. I'm not sure. Google are pretty adamant that they don't manually edit results. And it's at least possible that most references to search engines in news articles and the like reference alternatives to Google. Google is the kleenex of search engines - it's so synonymous that people forget that kleenex is a kind of tissue.
Whether or not that's right or wrong, when you use that word "because" you're saying those pancake recipes and similar features are causally related to the search results. So in particular, if Google removed those advanced features, Google would show up in the results of this query after the next reindexing.

Can you confirm that you're not just making a claim, but arguing that it affects the Google search results?
I'm not a fan of this kind of government influence in filmmaking, but so long as the Chinese are at it maybe they could turn their attention to Hollywood's propensity to depict Asian males as undesirable emasculated nerds and Asian females as fetishized objects.
Supposedly, Google got smarter some time back and relied more on contextual meaning of the linking page, as a whole, vs literal anchor text.

Health Facts: ``An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away``; True or False?
Certainly the "eloquency" can be incredibly low (which I am sure is exacerbated by the reduced character limit, but is still present in venues that allow for longer messages), but when you try to take in the underlying point there is still something to be gained in my opinion.

Granted, it's not always easy to try and take an objective look at heated messages when you, yourself, have an emotional attachment to the subject. Then again, part of the fun is trying to remain objective about subjects you are emotional about.
If you need to spawn 10-100+ instances for heavy computation tasks - then AWS and alikes are the only choice.

Why is Google working so hard to cripple Picture-in-Picture on iPads and macOS?
Apple has lost it's "It just works" charm that it used to have IMHO. I had to dig through settings, remove devices from my account, and update an old iPad all so I could turn on 2-factor auth and Apple only gave me a cryptic "There was an error with the server" or some BS like that. I had to google all the steps to get it working again. Just on the Macbook itself I had to enter my Apple ID password 3 times to START the process of going to 2FA and then it got stuck throwing that error in an app with an open dropdown overlay that only had 1 button (that caused the error). I had to force-quit System Preferences from Activity Monitor to get out of it and then, magically, 2FA was on and enabled... This then kicked off all my Apple devices losing their shit and requiring me to re-login and some of them didn't even require a 2FA after I entered my password.

Apple needs to go back to making things work seamlessly instead of the jarring differences between their own apps, OS's, and that stupid cloud. I feel like I have to enter my apple password every 5 minutes and that irks me because I'd like to use some completely random password but I had to have 1Password generate a "pronounceable" one so I could remember it since I have to enter it so often.

More fun facts: almost nobody worked directly on the bomb. Thousands of people worked on manufacturing equipment and components and had no idea what they were supposed to be building.

Hello, I posted this because it looked interesting. I'm not a Rust advocate (I prefer GC-languages personally), the WebAssembly angle and different languages using it as a compilation target was more interesting than Rust specifically.
If someone makes a Go compiler in Rust hacker news will have to shut down. Game over, there is nothing left to do in computing.
You don't need "AI" for that. You need structured data.

You need to bridge the gap between boundaries.

If you have a powerful declarative system it could on the spot alert you to most of these errors.

For example if your programming language is aware of your database the compiler or IDE could tell you "On line 15 you are attempting to insert rows in a table that doesn't exist.".

Right now you will get that in runtime.

You need to empower the compiler to "know" about more stuff before executing them.

Extracting lithium from lepidolite is at best twice as expensive as extracting it from brine. Lithium from ore sources is not commercially viable. So while Oceanview might be a commercial mine, it's not a commercial lithium mine.
Didn't know that. The USA has no such rule in place and you can in fact find many movies where the president is assinated (fictional and factual).

It is doubly weird for the UK since the monarch is just a figure head. I wonder if the law applies to the prime minsiter (after watching London has Fallen, I guess not).
Well, I too confuse the words Baltics and Balkans while trying to recall one or the other, but on the basis of their sound, nothing to do with geopolitics, so I can easily see confusing Macestonia and Esdonia in memory also based on sound, rather than category confusion.

People who say Medium is "just a blogging platform" obviously haven't written many blog posts. Writing a post is easy. The interface to do that is easy. Distribution is hard - that's the bit Medium solves in a revolutionary way: getting people to read your stuff.

VHDL & Verilog. 29 and 30 years old respectively, and while not really programming languages (they're hardware description languages) but they're used quite a bit. Any piece of equipment with an FPGA or CPLD inside (more things than you'd expect) and for prototyping systems before going to the expense of creating custom ICs. While they're not as old as many of the other languages mentioned here they're old enough, and I haven't seen anyone else mentioning them.

Like burntsushi I feel you're attacking a straw man here. Or, you're attacking specifically the "salvation" article which was a bit hyperbolic on purpose (in which case you're mostly off topic in this thread)

> the constant "rust solves this unrelated problem, and has no flaws!"

Where do you see that?

> But it's not a panacea for everything wrong in software

Nobody says that. Folks generally focus on the memory safety and thread safety bits. The salvation article did say that Rust can solve all of the problems in software caused by C, which was hyperbolic (I wasn't really fond of that part either), but that's the only instance in a blog post or comment that I can recall this being said recently. There doesn't seem to be a trend as you see.

> We don't need to all immediately re-write everything we do rust. Not everything new needs to be written in rust.

Nobody says that either. If anything, I've seen folks (especially in /r/rust) advocating caution when asked about porting software to Rust.

> If you like rust, then write some new, interesting and useful software in the language, where what language it's written in isn't the main selling point.

There's a lot of this all over the rust community. Redox has reasons for existing other than Rust (https://doc.redox-os.org/book/introduction/why_redox.html). Servo similarly has a wide variety of interesting bits -- some of which have been enabled by Rust but aren't interesting because of Rust. Webrender in particular is something that could have been done without Rust. Servo's layout and style systems are pretty revolutionary, because of the way they work. Ripgrep (http://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/) probably could have been implemented in Go and perhaps still win on some of the benchmarks; it's interesting because of the tricks that burntsushi used. https://github.com/google/xi-editor is also interesting, though incomplete.

I've had the same experience. My 5 year old came down stairs the other morning and put on some music for herself (Bowie, even) which I thought was wonderful.

Though it was pretty funny/depressing hearing how broken the experience was this morning.

"No, Alexa, play Moana soundtrack" - "I think you might like music by Adelle"
"What? Alexa, play the Moana original motion picture soundtrack" - "Playing Moana original motion picture soundtrack"

We're so close, but we still have a long way to go.

My favorite part about Elixir is that it doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. It's not an untested, trendy new paradigm or tool. It's based on decades of Erlang/BEAM/OTP experience and Ruby/Rails/last 10~ years of programming ergonomics. The only things that are added are those that actually add to the experience.

An example: A large part of the Erlang standard library is not translated in Elixir. Instead, you call Erlang methods with a seamless interop. José & co. understand that there's no need to reinvent the wheel and no benefit in another abstraction. I like that.

My least favorite part about Elixir is that it has become a "trendy" language among the web crowd. While the community is overall great, there's always a loud minority of "beginner experts" both claiming it's the best thing ever and deriding those for using other tools. I've seen a lot of random, unwarranted Rails bashing and Elixir shilling (never from a team member or community leader though!).

There are a lot of US movies that go the other way - praising the US military/portraying conflicts in good vs evil way.

Example is Battle Los Angeles (2011) and American Sniper (2015). So such things are in effect "soft propaganda".

In China, to protect themselves against such soft influence, they enact regulations. Letting people watch all US movies without a filter is effectively letting US set the cultural standards and values.

I am not advocating for such a strategy, but since some other countries don't have the technological capability to make engaging soft cultural influence movies, I get where they're coming from.
The irony is that some C extensions exist because they have better performance than Python.

On the other hand, there are many C extensions which are just interop/wrappers for existing C code. I think no language is naive enough to think they can get away without C interop.

C extensions are actually pretty nice because you can wrap the C code into idiomatic Python. With ctypes, you have to e.g. maintain two structure definitions, which is very problematic for some codebases.

> In following PyPy (and other alternate Python discussions) it seems like eliminating the GIL and getting better performance out of Python, even in C, isn't that hard if you drop the C extensions.

AFAIK, many projects initially struggle to even achieve performance parity with CPython. The GIL isn't evil, it's a simple solution to a hard problem. But at this point, a complex solution to a hard problem is better if it's faster, and some people care more about speed than C interop (and vice versa).

What would be awesome is a Python runtime that could run with fine-grain locking until a C extension is loaded, and then continue with coarse locking. But the problem is still there's no upgrade path for C interop.

The only thing I can think of is using type annotations and something like Cython's cdef to write Python-implementation-independent C interop that doesn't suck as bad as ctypes. Then the Python rumtime could also lock the arguments at a very fine level while the function is being called.
Well, my impression from the start is that Medium was much more of a "we want to try some new things for blogging and see what works" model; the assertions Ev and company have been making that they're on a noble mission to save the web from itself are relatively recent. They didn't set out to solve the impossible; they set out to apply what they learned from Blogger to do something better.

I think an argument can be made that Ev is right that the advertising model for web content is broken, but there's no sign that they have any idea how to fix it. My own posts on Medium perform wildly inconsistently -- views from highs around 45K to lows around two or three dozen -- and at least for me, the main differentiator seems to be links from outside Medium. Articles that get selected for attention by Medium editors also get increased traffic, but I suspect it's hard to get that attention unless you're already getting recommendations.

I'm enjoying a lot of things about Medium, although 2017 may be the year I quietly move all my stuff back onto my own platform again, just cross-posting certain articles over to Medium.

Assassinating the US President is a pretty standard device plot in many action movies and TV shows. In fact, if you had to judge Americans by our movies, you'd probably think we're all obsessed with killing the President.

If they do care, they definitely are messing it up. But you are right: almost all of China's posturing is for domestic consumption and thye are probably very unconcerned with their international image.

china presents an image that is almost North Korean to the rest of the world, even though this is far from the truth. The current leadership, which came of age during the cultural revolution, is even worse than the previous leaders in this regard, and they probably don't realize how bad they look (with the fake hair dye, but everything else also).
