I don't know TCL at all though I have implemented my own variation of tiny C in a handheld terminal I designed in the past which fitted nicely in 10KB in a PIC18F processor and 3K of RAM for the (compressed) basic so always good to see a different spin on other interpreters.

Your code doesn't actually compile in my MPLAB XC8 compiler but should be fixable so I may give it a go. I note there are no comments in the code but the explanation text should help.
I've written a proxy that uses SNI to filter outgoing connections based on the domain name, without decrypting the traffic. It's not exactly user-friendly as you'd like, but it's a good solution to our use-case.

I might open-source it if there's interest but it's relatively basic.
Sure, in theory. In practice it just means that hospitals that do not have local competition use them as a revenue center (MRIs in the US often cost $1000-$2000...paying off your 10 year machine in a few months with 5 patients a day).

The US Federal government tried them in the 1980s and quickly decided they were counterproductive.
Fantastic market strategy, but it's still snake oil they're selling.

When you talk about growing, the biggest value in Open Source has been that you can start with something free but shit, and then as you make money then you can spend it on customizing that Open Source in a way that benefits you.

However there exist commercial offerings that are (and were) faster and better at MongoDB than MongoDB was: KDB could've handled Twitter, we never would've seen a fail whale, and it is a whole hell of a lot cheaper than the developers and the customizers, and the headache, and the fact that you're making something open source which ultimately benefits your competition.

Another way to think about it is by thinking about experts: If you've got a great startup idea, why would you want to make your odds 10% worse by introducing the possibility it'll fail, by using the cheapest hacky hack thing that has 10% chance of losing your data? Ask experts with data, and be honest with your budget and you'll do a lot better.
No - as a general rule, Netflix pays a fixed royalty for the content that they license from third parties, regardless of how many people watch it. This is why the quality of their predictive models is so important; the better they can forecast, the better they can determine whether the price they would have to pay is worth it.

(Of course, the royalty is different for every piece of content, but the amount is negotiated ahead of time; it is not on a per-usage basis.)

This is different from iTunes movies, Amazon (non-Prime) Video, Vudu, Google Play, etc., which license on a revenue share basis.
The article talks about the number of traders they replaced with engineers. Assuming that other investment banks are on the same trend, where are these traders going to get new jobs? Are they just retiring because they made enough money while trading?
This is how I've largely seen the divide between these two companies as well. There's pros and cons to both approaches.

Personally I favor Google's approach to Microsoft's as I am not a fan of technical debt, but if I were an enterprise customer I might feel differently.
This jumped to my mind immediately with the laser printer mention!

If you look at polls that go issue by issue, you inevitably come to the conclusion that the "US population" at large (55-60%) would support a broad agenda of social democracy.

The problem isn't the people, it's the politicians. Specifically the Democrats, who refuse to push for anything but the weakest, most ineffective compromise policies.
However important it is, it's a separate issue and -- because most online comments are anonymous -- much harder to study.
Hmm that's a pity even though it shouldn't come as a surprise for anyone who's actively using/involved with fleet.
I like the simplicity and flexibility of fleet (basically distributed SystemD) a lot. Don't necessarily want to switch to a bigger scheduler like Kubernetes. Anyone have any suggestions for/experiences with an alternative simpler scheduler (like Nomad or an alternative solution like the autopilot stuff from Joyent)?

I agree as well. I've noticed many problems in my current organization but it is really telling when people are complaining about the same things I'm seeing. The problems really exist, people have fought to fix them and failed, management either doesn't care or want to fix them.

Yes there will always be people that were fired writing things up as well as others just lying (competitors). Like you said, at some point when there is enough smoke you should expect a fire.
I feel like there's a new kind of protest now, that's almost more of a party. It started with Anonymous' birthday protests - where people brought actual cake to Scientology centers - and then the Occupy movements took it a bit further.

There are still classic protests - the women's marches are a great example - but it's like there's this idea now that a protest can also be a fun event.

You can certainly have a uniform distribution on the set {1, 2}, which has measure zero...

It seems to me that you can define a uniform distribution for finite sets of measure zero and for sets with finite measure.

Yeah, something like that might be a totally reasonable solution. There's lots of options to discuss to get better public and private care, but discussions on them are so partisan and bogged down that nothing is likely to get done.
For non-emergency care, knowing the cost beforehand means you can:

The opposite!

The aim isn't to get a rise out of them, it is to split them. Lighting the spark that causes significant in-fighting means they do all the work for you. The environment in some of these vulnerable groups make this simple. Divide them into a couple of sections based on ideological disagreements and it comes crashing down quickly and hard.

Religious and many political groups are easy to get a rise out of, but their commitment to a common goal is greater than internal power struggles. It is much harder to split these groups when their common aim is so clear and hard felt.

When groups with a strong common aim and a sense of unity are attacked by the out-group, they get stronger in their resolve.
Fair enough...

I would argue that Quake has a lot more emergent complexity in its mechanics than a lot of other FPSes. Deathmatch has elements of territory control - moreso than in the Halo/COD lineage, as I understand it. And because you have to control territory and stay alive, there's an incentive to go fast. Very fast.

As a result, the more advanced mechanics of Quake (once bugs, now hallmarks of the series) have a very steep learning curve that hides an ocean of depth.

And yes, it is closer to the emergent complexity of an online shooter than the simulation complexity of DF, but the theme of depth hidden behind extreme complexity is the same.

>If you're talking about the Quake family tree, some of the most played current day first person shooters (CS:GO, COD, TF2) are direct ancestors of Quake, sharing some of Quake's source code.

I was actually talking about Quake's lineage in gameplay: Q3A, UT, and the rest of the arena shooter subgenre.

Given, this is an odd comparison, and I don't blame you for disagreeing. I'm not 100% sure I agree with me, and I am me.

#2 gets closest. South Park's latest season was a very insightful satire of Trump as the ultimate troll. Online trolls originally pushed Trump's candidacy as a way of antagonizing the virtue-signaling left. Of all the Republican candidates he was the most leftfield in the sense that he had no political experience and was also the least politically correct. He was brash and mean to the other candidates and seemed not to care if what he said came off as insensitive or even racist/sexist. Trump's success in the primaries triggered the left into over-reacting and running a campaign which contained far too much identity politics. Many felt the left was already overusing the racist/sexist card. Trump was easy bait to push them even further, exposing them and making them seemed like that's ALL they cared about.
What about other instruments? I used to work as an IT in a small investment bank, and the traders there were not doing any equity trading. They were dealing with bonds, swaps and stuff, and they were mostly doing arbitrage, IIRC. Also there was one guy on forex, but I vaguely remember that he was not supposed to speculate, rather he was supposed to trade whatever was necessary for the other guys to work.

Is the equity market really that significant that we seem to only talk about it?
Obviously they did, hence the "It's post-modern web development." No need for snark.
Seeing that no one is apparently using the information until systemd decided to, it seems like systemd being pedantic and the problem.

Sort of ironic to see bitcoins being hacked away due to lax security with the phone system, too. Ud think after mitnick, it wouldnt be possible, but our leadera today are actively choosing to ignore history's lessons, and we enable them.

> Medicare is socialized medicine, and should be single payer, yet insurance still manages to get in the middle and increase costs while reducing patient outcomes.

Wait, what? Medicare Advantage (the portion of Medicare that is privatized) consistently beats Original Medicare on cost, medical outcomes, and patient satisfaction scores.

Amusingly, when people talk about the high patient satisfaction of Medicare, they're talking about the high patient satisfaction of privately-insured Medicare patients, because even the very lowest satisfaction score of all the major injurers who provide Medicare plans is still higher than Original Medicare's satisfaction rates.

My experience has been people who claim they're banned from groups for espousing different opinions actually did so in the least constructive way possible. They weren't banned for the opinion, they were banned for their conduct.

See: Reddit. With the notable exception of alt-right subs like /r/The_Donald -- who apparently have no issue with banning anyone they even _think_ is going against the hive mind.

Neither; these are techniques applied on observed data in an obviously dynamic open domain. The data is uncontrolled - so we have no idea if it is representative of the current state of the domain theory - does it cover the distributions properly; we don't know. We know the domain is dynamic in that the world economy moves like around alot and we can't predict these movements, in the sense that most actors did not call the last substantial negative market movement. The domain is open in that new features can appear that drive the value of the variable of interest; for example the availability of property in China, new battery technology, a patent on nuclear fusion.

We do not have techniques that account properly for any of these things.

You may as well draw lines on charts and sell that advice, you'd probably get as good a hearing in any Investment Bank in the world !

Indeed, and the only practical means of performing a compaction is to "rm -rf" the data directory and let it resync from another replica set member. This is not documented of course.
TCL is an interesting idea. I have been a fan of MicroPython (https://micropython.org/) for a while. It's probably not as tight or efficient as Partcl but I think it may be a good contender for a comparison in your original article.
You don't know enough about animals to make a convincing argument, but you feel comfortable enough in your knowledge of both animals and neuroscience to say that they are neurologically incapable of being ferocious, loving or independent? That doesn't make a lot of sense. I think you may be a little bit blinded by your biases here — it sounds more like anthropocentrism than reason.

A civics course would yield a very good concept of why its bad: Precedent. Balance and checks. The problem is not that individuals have 'bad stuff' on their PC's, its that any and all personal information can be used against you, and if there is a precedent to use that information freely against you without courts or warrants, then where is the balance and checks? If police could walk into your house, open your filing cabinets and take all your documents, where is the check of power? Many times we like to think we live in a fantasy world where the 'police' or 'authorities' are the best people who are only out for 'good', but the reality is far from.

At the end of the day, they are people, people are flawed, people abuse power, as the Snowden report showed, which is why checks and balances are required. You can make the false claim that you have 'nothing to hide', but you do, the same as everyone else. Social security number, marriage and divorce papers, loans, conversations with business partners, stock investments, documents of employees and their personal info. Trade agreements, your companies internal infrastructure. Thats all very, very important stuff you would not want people to get their hands on, and if they did could take advantage of you, your family, the people who work for you, or the people you work for.
As a controversial idea intended to provoke thought and not knee jerk political reactions, consider that in human history, much as we are in a bubble of fossil fuel burning, we are in a bubble of equality. If in the infinite oscillation of all human activity, is there any reason to exclude the past being the future? Is a future stone age impossible because we have run out of stone?

A common theme in ancient history was omnipotent leader getting pissed off at the sea (for sinking a fleet, or just because he's a jerk, it don't matter why) so he walks out in the sea and whips it or orders his army to slash at the sea. No matter how much you might dislike the idea of the end of the equality bubble, disliking it really really hard is about as effective at preventing the future as whipping the sea is at teaching hurricanes not to vaporize naval fleets.

Hey those blue collar jobs are going away, best get used to it, learn something new. Hey that human equality thing is going away, best get used to it, learn something new.

Even analogies don't work. You can say we learned the technologies of freedom and equality and they only increase over time because... well because of luck so far. Just like we learned the technology of burning coal or slavery, we learned it and it can only increase over time because ... well it did out of luck until it stopped. One's gone, the other's starting to go away, maybe everything in this paragraph is over, eventually.

I don't like it, isn't a valid rebuttal. Personally I don't like it, but I'm willing to devils advocate it a bit and its one of those things where if your mind is open and not dogmatically shut you can't discount the highly likely (but not 100%) probability.

You can tell mother nature "we must have a solution meeting my criteria A B and C" and if those are unsolvable, she is quite unconstrained in actual practice.
Does backtesting work better if you, say, start with seven years of data, use the first five to judge the strategy, and then test it against the last two? Is that a good way to avoid fitting the data?

Exactly. That behaviour shows you they can be split easily.

Medium term infiltration into these groups is straightforward as the external signifiers of group membership are known and easy to emulate.

Stimulate what appears to be a genuine disagreement and sides quickly form. As they are used to banning people quickly, the culture is strong and hard disagreement. If they can be turned on each other, it quickly collapses.
> Agreed, but currently there is no great solution that allows you to do that and provide the kind of UI dynamism that really does improve UX.

Strongly disagree that there's any actual improvement on UX. Plenty of sites like GitLab, GitHub, YouTube, etc. insist on using JS to load what could be entirely separate pages, but instead leave the user with some slow, hand-rolled progress bar on the top of the page. For sites doing nearly-full-page refreshes, a server pre-rendering is going to be faster. For sites doing smaller content-level changes, there's no reason something like turbolinks, pjax, or regular old ajax/DOM manipulation can't be used, which is almost always faster.
In my defense, I was using the context of hash functions, in which the input set of the hash is discrete. You certainly can't hash any real number.
This doesn't have any code running from the server. The backend code is used to build a bundle that gets loaded in the browser. (And is necessary for using JSX (for React) and using npm modules.)
> Trolling, to me, just aggravates the actual problem: deep socioeconomic/racial/sexual inequities.

Easy to flag as a problem in a world with so much blatant inequality. But a system designed to erase inequality would only have the effect of amplifying small differences, and most people would seek victim status -- just as they do now.
> It will be the same with AI. If you apply enough bright people's mind for long enough, we can possibly automate certain niche jobs, but that's going to be completely uneconomical.

The thing is, it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. If you can write software to make a team of ten traders 10% more productive, it may be possible to do the same job with only 9 traders.

Over time, those productivity gains compound and you have literally cut in half the number of people on your trading floor.

bizarre and an extremely brutal way of extorting money from people. The mob used to ask for protection money, if you refused, they'd fuck your store up.

I may be way to cynical for my own good, but there's no proof that this is actually real, right? Besides a couple of pretty bizarre screenshots [1]. I'm skeptical because a) these types of gains in public markets are pretty much unheard of, and b) faking a story like this would be a fairly easy way of getting lots of attention for your freelancer business (which this guy advertises right at the top of the article).

[1] Running cat on a csv file would usually just print a list of numbers, yes? Instead he gets ascii art with months on the vertical axis, making it seem like time going back and forth, and some random commentary in the right margin. I dunno but something about it screams "mockup". As does the minimalist, ultra-stylish AWS window.

Edit: also, if it were me who got incredible returns from trading at high speed on indian markets using only machine learning on historical data, I would definitely keep quiet about it. Just sayin'...

We are moving toward container-pilot and it's A+. We have been using an adapted autopilot pattern for some time now with our thick VMs and it's been great. There is no one system that solves all problems and fits all paradigms, but it seems like container-pilot / autopilot as a pattern is very successful at delivering simplicity.

BTW, we are also using Triton (formerly SmartDC) from Joyent and are absolutely loving it. It's not without it's rough edges, but it is by and far the best public / private cloud option we have found that supports containers and VMs.
