Alright, then -- I think we agree for all practical purposes :).

Still, I think it is important to realize that while "IO" is 'sort-of-a-monad'... the truth isn't quite that simple :). There's a lot of nastiness hidden behind it, especially FFI and exception-related things... ugh.

EDIT: My original point was mostly that maybe he hadn't thought this whole "async every method call!" thing through. That... leads to a mess, especially if every single "thing" you do is a "method call".
I think that they would not necessarily go down. They might go up. If much of the working poor no longer had to desperately work multiple Mcjobs just to feed their kids they might take fewer of them (especially the particularly miserable ones) and spend more time at home. Employers would be forced to pay more and make working conditions better just to get those positions filled.

Basic minimum income is loaded with unknowns. There really is no way to know the ultimate results without trying it. Lots of us are starting to think it's worth a try. We've tried worse.
While this is, in its own right, an interesting anecdote and comment, it doesn't speak to the content of the article other than the title.
Some find that being a part of a much larger thing, at the expense of sovereignty, is funny.
You have 2 nuclear powers in Europe, and a few other countries that host nukes under the NATO nuclear arms sharing treaty which gives them discretionary access to said arsenal.

You have NATO and even without a centralized government the European Economic Area and the European Free Trade Association which together form one of the largest economies in the world.

Europe would do just fine if it decides to scale back on the pan-European EU government faculties and just go back to it's let's make trade, not war roots.

And lastly there isn't a single outside power wanting or being capable of swallowing Europe, Russia doesn't have plans to expand westward beyond it's immediate strategic needs (mainly a warm water port), it only cares about security and mobility as well for the EU not to overstep and have NATO on Russia's borders or try to circumvent Russia's economy by taking control of the caspian and near east oil and gas routes.

Trade prevent war, the benefits of a central government beyond that are fairly limited, the Federal government didn't stop the US civil war from happening it might have initiated it, but the US had their civil war and came out stronger, and Europe had it's own share of not so civil wars and also came out stronger in the end.

Currently there about zero chance of war happening in Europe between European powers, whilst there is a lot of Euro-skepticism the worst that may come out of it is bye bye to the European Parliament and a few other institutions.
The EEA would still be there, the Council of Europe would still be there and everyone would go their merry way.
But there is one right in the footer: https://www.npmjs.com/policies/disputes

I am writing a blog post about the topic as well, I think NPM is doing a great job here.
Evolutionary theory is uncannily similar to the Hebrew tetragrammaton, which is often translated into English as "I am that I am". But digging in, you will find that it is the verb "to be" in both perfect (now) and imperfect (past/future) tenses.

It means something like "That which is now in a way consistent with that which has been and will be". To me, that's evolution.

This is a reconciliation of philosophy and spirituality that I have found deep joy and peace in. I was raised Christian, and while I was never pressured to be creationist, neo-Darwinism left such a bad taste in my mouth that at a young, naive age, I embraced creationism as a way to rationalize things that my heart knew to be true.

But by the end of high school, I had come to terms with the beauty and depth of evolutionary theory. Thanks to more ecological versions of evolutionary theory, such as symbiogenesis, evolutionary understanding has since then become a cornerstone of my spirituality.

As an artist and musician, I also appreciate the 'creativity' embedded in the process of evolution. Evolution says "give it a try". If it doesn't work, it tries something new. Once in a while, something sticks; it survives its own context some way or another. Other forms die out, like snapshots of some greater metamorphosis. We are lucky to witness them!
Good news! npm's dispute policy actually explicitly covers this behaviour. If someone wanted any of these packages, npm would likely be happy to give it to them. You can also report them to have the packages removed by emailing them at support@npmjs.com

'Justice' is not conventionally understood as being synonymous with law. You're employing a highly unconventional definition of 'justice' which would make your statements misleading to most.

>You need to use the same definitions of words that everyone else is using.

Everyone else does not use the same definition of justice as you.

This is how justice is usually defined (first definition found through a Google search):

>Justice definition, the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness: to uphold the justice of a cause.

just:

>just
jəst/
adjective
1.
based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair.

When used in the context of laws, justice refers to a legal remedy that is morally right, equitable, etc. Legal rulings are not automatically considered justice on account of being from the state. State actions everywhere, including in the US, are widely characterized as unjust, a miscarriage of justice, etc., when they are considered immoral.

I suggest you stop being stubborn, because you're wrong.
Individualism, as a behaviour and a way to relate with peers, is learned in elementary and high school. Passivity and the wilfullness to perform task for a reward are learned in elementary school. Relations with peers mostly develop in teenage years.

It is very unlikely that this decade of taming has no impact whatsoever on future working behaviours, and not explaining (at least partly) the american individualism you speak of. Competing for grades through individual work, the traditional school model imported from Western Europe, might indeed breed individualism and competition. As could a ruthless school environment of punishing and policing could steer a children toward antisocial behaviours.

Mainstream educational theories suggest project-based education as a way to teach teamwork, but critiques suggest it can be distressing and yield lesser results with students already struggling with learning school knowledge.

TL;DR: The studies cited does do not prove the point: it is very unlikely that schooling has no impact on working behaviours.
The quality of a type system isn't measured solely by what it allows you to do. After all, no type system at all would allow you to do anything and write as many bugs as you want-- not great, right? Instead, a better type system will let you make guarantees about your code, while still allowing correct programs to run. Can you guarantee there are no type errors? Can you guarantee arrays aren't accessed out of bounds? That sort of thing.
A Science of Operations by Mark Priestley (http://www.springer.com/gb/book/9781848825543)

This is cheating a bit, because the book is history of computer science rather than computer science, but I think anyone interested in programming should read it. We often think about history of computing (and what it teaches us) in a retrospective way (we see all the amazing totally revolutionary things that happened), but it turns out that if you look deeper, there is often a lot more continuity behind key ideas (and we just think it was a revolution, because we only know a little about the actual history). This book goes into detail for a number of major developments in (early) programming and it makes you think about possible alternatives. It was one of the books that inspired me to write this essay: http://tomasp.net/blog/2016/thinking-unthinkable/
Glacier in particular seems to attract the speculative fascination. Do people not realise the name is not in jest, it really is done with graphene-doped room-temperature ice crystals and laser interference lithography?

I recently started writing a book on programming and set-up a landing page for it, to do a pre-launch campaign and I set up some ads on Facebook.

Fortunately, I work in the Analytics industry, so I set-up scroll tracking on my website using Google Tag Manager and started noticing the same patterns as the author as well. Just so to add on to the author, I even excluded the top fraud-prone countries (Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, etc.)

In effect, the only pre-orders I've gotten are from Amazon's own internal organic advertising combined with my personal Social media posts. I tried increasing the budget, but that didn't work out either.

Mind you, I track almost every important action on my site (click a button, fill in a form, etc.). The behaviour of these "bots" are very strange and the only thing I've gained in this gamble is an ultra high bounce rate (~90%, < 2 seconds session duration) like the author. Again, I feel it's too early for me to conclude that these networks are useless as I keep reading posts from other people saying Facebook works extraordinarily well for them.

It depends on what you want the new users to do.
Ads mostly bring visitors who don't know about your company. If you are in a business where branding or trust is important, it's more difficult. If you are in a commodity business where prices matter, I think it's easier.

That's normal they have a different behavior.
Comparing Google Ads and Facebook Ads is hard as there is a user behavior difference between them.

- Visitors from Google Ads often have a purchase intent
- Visitors from Facebook Ads are currently entertaining thanks to Facebook photos & videos. (you need to create a need, a urgency to sign up / purchase)

-> my startup has experienced that. Google ads bring qualified users to Moneytis.com (comparison of money transfer options), whereas Facebook ads bring curious people to sign up on neomy.io (fun alerts about currency exchange rates)
I didn't know about this. Perhaps it should be better publicised?
Readers that come from your newsletter are already converted to you. Readers that come from an advertisement do not know who you are and are evaluating your website to see if they want to convert to you. It is reasonable to expect that only 10% of these people want to convert to you. The other 90% after scrolling down your website are not interested in converting to you. Your website did not contain the hook to make them convert. You should improve your website.

TL;DR The adverts performed 100% in bringing visitors to your website. That is their job. Your website is not converting them to real users 90% of the time. Your website failed.

It looks like npm is confusing the download count with another package, 'd' (lowercase)[0]. I didn't realize that npm packages were case-sensitive, and apparently neither does their download counter!

Yes. Start broadly, then become broadly competent, then become specifically talented in a particular area. You want a niche that is big enough to be interesting (cassandra, biology machine learning) while not being so large that Universities are churning out thousands of specialists (java, oracle, mysql).
but you shouldn't use a GET request for incrementing, right? do people (or popular frameworks' defaults) really do that? frequently?
I'm starting a series of blog posts on making first a dynamic Lisp and then adding a type system to it, then type inferencer, etc. I'd be interested in what resources you found helpful and easy to read.
In what way does unsupervised learning "use immediate feedback"? It's unique in that it does not use reward or error feedback signals derived from labeled data!

Putin built a pretty good PR image over here that appeals to certain segments.

The Russians aren't a bunch of idiots. They have a need to be players on the global stage, but cannot compete on military hardware.

So they fight for perception and impressions, which is more effective than bombs anyway. I've even heard laudatory comments about Putin's attempts to curb violence in Syria! (After propping up Assad for years)

Meanwhile, we've had a series of presidents that either couldn't put a sentence together (Bush 2) or couldn't make a timely decision (Obama).

I was referring to the fact that most box-store bicycles are made out of cheap hi-ten steel and have 18-21 speeds.

There's nothing particularly wrong with either, they're just indicators that the bike is overall of low quality.
Maybe the point is that authority is neither inherently good nor bad, and the best thing to teach is to have a nuanced response to it?
They are in one of the cases pointed out, not the other two. The novel idea is to have two networks compete against each other in a two-player minimax game, developing progressively better strategies until something like Nash equilibrium is reached--at which point you have one well-trained classifying network and one well-trained generating network.
This article relies on the assumption that OO has been designed to work with single core or "few" core processor.

It's a false assumption. OO has been designed to model the world in the hope that this would make expressing business logic easier.

It's not hard to imagine what would happen with these many cores, because we already have specialized systems with many cores: GPUs and CUDA.

And as every single time people talk about parallelism as a holy grail of performance, the truth is obvious to whomever actually uses this hardware: not many problems are highly parallelizable and parallelism is always harder than single threaded code -- it's harder to think about, and this has nothing to do with the programming paradigm.
A fellow poster up a bit mentioned that the empty 'D' package has something like 64k downloads per day. Surely there's money in compromising the systems that this ends up on? Malicious packages are a known point of vulnerability, and with that broad a shot, you're likely to get access to at least a few apps / AWS accounts / whatever.
This is actually meant to be a revamp / successor. It is written in React to increase reusability and it's built with (and for) RxJS 5. So it's an overall overhaul.
I think minecraft is a great illustration of some of the limits of vr today: it defaults to a theatre mode, but also has the option of pov gaming. The latter is terrible for moving around - but works OK for standing still and looking around.

For now simulator-like games such as Elite:Dangerous are the most interesting. I'm sure we'll Se a couple of nice "room scale" games - but "sitting in a cockpit" fixes many of the issues related to movement etc.

Then, I think a backpack rig (Pc) coupled with custom controllers (eg: a softgun with tracking hardware and trigger support) will enable vr theme park games; a typical indoor paintball range with padded corners mapped in 3d - rendered over with vr goggles. I assume the first ones would need custom tracking hw.

Not all things need consent. You don't need the consent of someone violating other people's rights to punish them. You don't need the consent of 100% of the citizenry to make a decision on how to expend public funds. You do need someone's consent to take private income from them. Income taxation is wrong for that reason.
Basically, yes. You can do more with a dynamic type system than a static type system because you don’t need to (and actually, aren’t allowed to) prove that your code is consistent. Advancements in static checking and inference mean you can prove more things about your programs, so you don’t have to fall back on dynamic types and data structures so much.

The power is vaguely defined and is absolute. Short of being outside the lines enough to justify impeachment, it can probably mean whatever a president wants it to.
Check your iPhone diagnostics and usage. You will be blown away by how many of your apps are leaking memory and allowing someone to see everything you're doing...
These planes can fly without the president, so you're not guaranteed an answer this way.
Big companies use more advanced features like adaptive audience segmentation or dynamic creatives to better target viewers. Hence they tend to bid on those who are statistically more relevant to them.
SMS-Scope is a tool I built over the weekend to satisfy a need of mine. I work on a system that needs to successfully send SMS notifications to multiple different countries.

I intend on using this tool to verify receipt of messages in other countries as well as to verify that the system can convert between human-readable number formats and the e.164 standard (and still successfully send the message).
And I think they aren't anymore. But they were back in the day, so for compatibility reasons they have to keep some of them that way.

Edit: further evidence: when you mistype a name in lowercase such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/aaaaaaaaaabbb it gives you instructions on how to create the package with that name; however when you do with a name with a capital letter such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/aaaaaaaaaabbB it just shows a 404

Despite his intense biblical study and belief in a creating God, Newton observed the distinction between religion and science made by Galileo: “The Bible tells us how to go to Heaven, not how the heavens go.” During his presidency of the Royal Society, Newton banned any subject touching religion, even apologetics. He wrote, “We are not to introduce divine revelations into philosophy [science], nor philosophical [scientific] opinions into religion.”

Yet for Newton this distinction was not a divorce, much less a conflict. Although the books of God’s Word and his Works were not to provide the content of each other’s teachings, they were bound together. Newton did not consider one to be sacred and the other secular, nor did Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, or Pascal—all practicing Christians. Only later Enlightenment philosophy produced a model of “warfare” between science and theology.

Newton’s theology profoundly influenced his scientific method, which rejected pure speculation in favor of observations and experiments.

In ethical theory/moral philosophy, ethics and morality are the same thing. Both are concerned chiefly with two questions: what we ought to do given what is (unless you're Hume), and whether what has been done is good (or just, or right).

What passed for "coffee" in 1965 Honolulu (excluding locally grown or gourmet/specialty) may not resemble what is widely consumed in the West today (if typical commercial canned coffee, it probably wasn't even arabica).
Why do you presume that this has to be done militarily? The Russians have been funneling money and influence into the UK for decades. They're loaning money to Le Pen in France. There's no need to risk confrontation if you can get your politcal allies to cede everything to you that stands in your way.

Bostrom does not define posthuman (so saying "no wiggle room" is ridiculous), so these conclusions about what posthumans understand and do not understand are unjustified and moot. But let me continue:

Bostrom assumes all simulated minds will be "of a similar sort." Another assumption that "minds" are well understood.

Bostrom assumes we will never have the means to glean any information related to whether or not we are in a simulation. Indeed, compared to the unprecedented assumptions needed to admit posthumanity (computers the size of planets, for one!), the assumption that we can determine whether we are in a simulation seems paltry by comparison.

Bostrom's indifference argument is unfounded. In particular, say I only give his proof a 1/N chance of being correct for a very large N. Then by his indifference principle I _still_ must assign an overwhelming probability that I am in a simulation. This doesn't help in that I cannot be 100% certain his argument is wrong since he does not define things rigorously enough for a proof, nor can he possibly do so because of our lack of understanding about human minds or the future of computation. So to be a "rational" being (I hate this term, because it's also undefined), I can't disagree with his argument and conclude the opposite of what he concludes.
Is it me, or does the title not match the argument put forth in the article? I guess "Political currents affecting US education funding" didn't have a good ring to it...
