Probably was said already or on your to-do list anyway but here goes, I'd probably set up a "blog" where each post quotes the 1-2 "least-meatiest-most-promising" paragraphs of a daily mail (whenever it's lengthy/wordy enough). With the usual sign-up-4-free-for-the-full thing. Hook up on an RSS or Atom feed for oldtimers like me (signed up already though), because some may be reluctant but come around after a few days or weeks of "promising" snippets. And of course, organic search traffic coming in, ever-compounding as the (partial) content grows.

> Interesting, so the law passed with zero Republican support but yet it is their fault for all of it's problems.

"a lot of its failures"

And yes, I think that if you're the counterparty and rally all your members to oppose anything that is put up for a vote then you absolutely share responsibility for what comes out.

Not least because by withholding your vote you forced them to find a vote elsewhere. So instead of your opinion, they had to cater to someone else's.

I don't necessarily blame Congressional Republicans for the choice. In the political calculus of a toxic and rabid media campaign to its base and primary challenges from the right, I understand why they did what they did.

But they still don't get a pass by saying "Oh, we voted against that. Therefore we have no responsibility for it."

> I think this is what is most flawed in the paper. For (some) concurrent problems Go is about as fast as C [1].

Certainly, this was really only taken as a ballpark estimate of the performance difference. Looking at your link, it seems to have been slightly overestimating the difference, though the general point still stands: C is (in most cases) faster and there is (nearly) no case in which Go beats C.

> Is there a reason why GRP computing isn't mentioned?

> They are really efficient and CUDA isn't that hard to learn.

Sorry, not sure if you mean GPU instead of GRP in the first sentence. CUDA helps to some degree, but not always, e.g. when you are memory bandwidth bound (common in tensor networks in physics). I have no experience with Monte Carlo methods and can’t comment on whether they substantially benefit from CUDA; I know of at least one (Quantum Monte Carlo) code which runs much faster on a standard Xeon than on the Xeon Phi, though.

> They seem to care about safety.

Yes of course safety is nice to have and I’ll gladly learn Rust when I have some free time to get that safety at hopefully zero cost. But sacrificing performance is simply not competitive, if you can throw someone with gdb at the problem and get essentially the same "safety".

You've already paid the tax on the amount you are saving.
In my ideal anarchistic society it is fine to do that. After all, it would be unjust to force you either way to do a particular thing with your product (labour time). But nobody would choose to do that, as they would know that their labour is being exploited.

All wage labour is like this, provided that you are selling it to someone with the express intent for profit. In a society that has prisons and punishment, though, those who exploit labour would be treated the same as those who steal or force people into unconscionable contracts.

The profit motive as shown through history has almost always caused massive environmental damage. Labour standards merely give the illusion of a world without exploitation. In reality your prpgrammer in SV is exploited the same way, but to a lesser degree, than the sweatshoo workers.

Possibly ones that could be created within the space of 3-6 months (or less) depending on skill?

Presumably the market for renting out rooms started out virtually completely free and over the years regulations have been voted in due to problems caused by that free market.

That's not to say that those regulations are all necessary or helpful, but clearly the free market isn't enough in this case.

Same with Uber - it starts as a free-for-all, then you get stories like this:

and they start introducing rules around it.
It's a shame Server-Sent Events aren't universally supported. I find them a lot simpler than WebSockets - modifications are just normal HTTP calls, and then you can broadcast the actual result of the transactional call back down with a SSE. But Edge doesn't support them :(
I moved to the other side of my country (Australia) for recently for work because I felt I needed to make a short step before the leap to SF (most friends recommended going to SF, talking to a few companies, flying back then doing the visa process which costs a non-trivial amount). Trump administration, rising house prices and a possible bubble bursting are keeping me out of the states at the moment.

However I must say I felt like Melbourne would be a lot more startup adept than it is. I feel like Sydney is quite a while in front, but all of Australia lags behind Israel and London (outside the US anyway.)
If the site is hardcore SPA, and has a single "mysite.com/" URL, then you're right that state is only represented in terms of websocket events. However, if we have URLs like "mysite.com/users/alice" or "mysite.com/conversations/alice-bob-23", those resources will stay current, so that reloading them will reflect websocket events that took place since the last load. If the events are coming really quickly, there might be a race condition, but that's easy enough to solve by including a "last event" token in the page itself, that can be included in the websocket URL.

I think you misunderstand what "safety" refers to in the context of programming. It's not about flaws in your program being attacked, it's about writing correct programs.
I haven't explored that a lot, but my thought was that the amount of setup/teardown for polling goes away, so it's at least an order of magnitude (guessing) better.

I have written the framework to use a single socket connection for all updateable objects on the page.

> But the NRA has a long history of agitating for harsh sentencing and prison construction

I don't mean to defend the NRA here -- as you'll see from my other comments while I recognize and appreciate the stated role they perform, I'm not their biggest fan. Regardless, that particular allegation doesn't carry much water for me.

Speaking in broad strokes, every time there is a shooting, it seems incumbent on every gun owner to bear the responsibility for the bad action. Because we support the right to keep and bear arms, we are often cast by the media as the very reason that whomever was able to effect whatever recent spate of gun violence occurred, and must all be held accountable. Whenever politicians hold session, they urge to DO SOMETHING, and rarely care what that something is so long as they can show that they have been responsive in passing legislation that may positively affect this situation in a future outcome, even when it's unlikely to have any effect.

If you're incapable or unwilling to cede to things like increased background checks, or unable to sign on to a blanket ban of muzzle shrouds (as our politicians so often request), there aren't a lot of politically viable options for "doing something", which casts the second amendment lot as obstructionist. What's left? Well, increased sentencing for gun felons. These increased sentences are regrettably more constitutional, because they at least are the result of due process, and do not infringe the rights of law abiding citizens.

Are they good policy? I would argue not, but if you're faced with the nefariously binary options of removing rights from the law abiding vs. removing rights from proven criminals, it is easy to see how they routinely choose the latter.

Yes: Safety does not get you correct results where non-safety would have given you wrong results. Safety gives you correct results in some cases where non-safety would have given you no result. Those cases are easy to identify and can be solved using standard debugging techniques.

So safety gets you faster development: less debugging, easier parallelisation etc., but it does not give you correct results, nor does it give you those results by spending less computational time.

I've used Perl as my primary programming language over 20 years and think that Perl 6 is a big improvement. I've been using 6 for new Perl software since 2012 (one 500 line program I run once a week and a few other 30 lines or less programs used one time) with good results---learning Perl 6 was hard for me---am looking forward to Perl 6 books. Thanks to all the people that made Perl 5 and 6 possible.

Is it wise to get hooked on websockets given that they're disappearing in HTTP2? I assume lattice is not tied to websocket as the implementation, and can switch to doing things over webrtc data (which would be even better for games since webrtc data can use UDP)
But does the free market always produce the best results? The free market tells us people want click bait, porn, and cat videos. It tells us that long expensive investigative journalism won't find a market that will support it — that sort of work is expensive.

We can take the free market purist view that there needs to be no further discussion on the issue: the market has decided that high-quality journalism doesn't generate enough revenue to support itself, therefore, its intrinsically valueless.

Or, we stipulate that high-quality journalism is valuable becauae it has positive effects on society that are beyond the ability of the market to determine. If we think so, it makes sense to talk about how to fund these endevours that aren't reliant on free market forces.

I too like Windows 10. I just wish Microsoft would charge what they need to charge and make sharing optional. At first the enterprise edition had switches to turn off the data sharing but as I understand it, even enterprise edition users have to let Microsoft watch them work now.

You're right though - lots of people did get it as a free upgrade. I'm not sure I'd like Microsoft off the hook though since a significant number were tricked into it. Plus I think my point applies even more aptly to users that didn't upgrade to W10. Microsoft added the data sharing features into Windows 7 and 8. So they literally were essentially forced into sharing private data with Microsoft for nothing in return.

Atlanta; Feb. 6, 2017: Atlanta-based Life Sliding LLC is soon to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in support of an indie film based on S. L. Mauldin’s young adult book “Life Sliding.” The full-length feature film-in-the-making speaks of a socially relevant and timely story that revolves around three youths as they maneuver through their adolescent years and their experience with bullying, stereotyping, hate and death.
Best described as the “The Most Exciting Campaign of 2017”, the Kickstarter campaign is created by author, screenwriter S. L. Mauldin. Scheduled to be launched on February 28, 2017, the campaign is geared to raise around $750,000 within 30 days.
The film is scheduled to release in late summer 2017 in movie theaters across the USA. Once the funding goal is achieved, shooting will begin in June and will be concluded in around 5 weeks. Backers are offered many interesting perks and rewards for their support. Some of them include a private dinner with the cast, film credits, film premiere invites, custom t-shirts and opportunities to appear in the film.

>about quote: "We live in a world where digital products are inherently undervalued relative to other products."

That author describing it as a single category called "digital products" doesn't really explain it. There are lots of non-physical digital products that people will pay for. It's really the smartphone apps in particular that's a special category of negative psychology.

After the initial novelty[1] of buying apps in 2008 died away, people realized that smartphone apps were a waste of money. People would buy an app and then later experience buyer's remorse. They felt ripped off.

Therefore, the previous bad experiences provide no reinforcement for future purchases. Compare that with consumers who buy a digital song for $0.99 from Taylor Swift and then that enjoyment reinforces the idea that it's ok to pay $0.99 again for an Adele song. Or Kindle owners who pay $9.99 for the latest ebook from Stephen King and then willingly pay that amount again months later for another bestseller. There are many other examples of repeated digital purchases.[2] (Using the positive reinforcement framework of thought, it's not that people pay for $5 coffee because it's a physical product -- it's that the previous $5 purchase of Starbucks gave them pleasure and therefore they willingly pay it again.)

If consumers really felt they got value from app store purchases like they do with iTunes songs, Kindles, Netflix, etc, they'd buy more. Therefore, the conclusion that smartphone owners undervalue digital products is not actually correct -- they actually value digital app store purchases as near-worthless because that's the utility they got from them.

Also, the avoidance of buying smartphone apps seems related to The Market for Lemons[3] and the thousands of terrible apps written by copycat incompetent programmers prevent people from discovering the truly quality apps that could improve their lives. A lot of bad apps flooding the market ruins it for everyone else.

[1] example: http://venturebeat.com/2008/12/23/iphone-fart-app-pulls-in-n...

[2] Netflix $9.99/month

Adobe Cloud apps $49.99/month (more digital subscribers than customers of physical CDs/DVDs)

Based on http://caniuse.com/#feat=eventsource only IE/Edge doesn't have it, and there are polyfills for those, e.g. https://github.com/Yaffle/EventSource/blob/master/README.md

Or there are more problems?

Want to use SSE for one small project soon (haven't used it before, and don't want Websockets as they're an overkill for a basic event stream), would appreciate any info about how things could go wrong.
Games is one kind of software where you usually won't expect to keep your code base maintained 10 or 20 years from now. So far for the "stable platform" argument where you as a user wouldn't want anything less than open source code, unless forced to use proprietary code for external reasons.

There might be a cost/benefit analysis where some closed platform is extremely far ahead in every other aspect, but you should be very well aware of the risks of being tied to that platform.
what does ablative mean in this context?
What is Bounce Rate?
You can do the same with addition/subtract. Perhaps there is a simpler way, but here is one way to do it:

a = a + b
b = b + a
a = b - a
b = b - 2*a
You legitimately can not imagine a scenario where a program is written which could give a result that appears correct but isn't due to a bug?

And you legitimately can't imagine how reducing the likelihood of making bugs by using a language+compiler which can identify/prevent more of them would help?

I'll leave you to it then.
Speaking of number sets.

I never understood why complex numbers are considered one. I mean, yes they "are" a set, but besides that they are completely different.

All number sets I learned about did fill some gaps in one dimension, but complex numbers somehow added a new dimension.

Like real numbers stood in an entirely different context to rational numbers than complex numbers stood to real numbers.
Just read hypothermics.com . Its author, Ray Cronise, has done a lot of measurements using proper equipment.

And anecdotaly I have a co-worker who was into serious climbing. Before a high climb like over 6km he on purpose typically gained like 5 kilos of weight and still came back learner from the trip. And he knows for sure that that was due to coldness as on much more physically demanding trips at warmer altitudes weight loss was much smaller.
More than anything else, it's standard library.

Is there a reason why regime bits do not include the sign bit?
Then both "0 0001" and "1 1110" could be interpreted as 4 regime bits. Even better we could include the last flipped bit as well and we would have 5 bits.

Edit: Well. I see it would result in losing the values 0 and 1.
Another question:
Since it is fixed length of 4 bits (for N=32) why don't we just extract the 4 bit value, then we could represent 2^4 regimes this time without losing 0 and 1.
Valuable in what sense though?
