I sometimes wish researchers were organized enough to "strike" and stop reviewing papers for a period of time.

Since the papers not being reviewed would include our own papers, that'll never work. Plus Prisoner's dilemma (or whatever theory I'm thinking of). Plus, they could be criticized for effectively "blocking cancer research" etc.

But still, it'd be nice to see what would happen.

The typical workflow for Hydrogen is to turn a whole desktop session into your DAW, building it from the ground up with your own selection of tools.

I've dreamed of doing something like that for awhile, but at the end of the day it's almost always easier to just reach for a self-contained DAW.

It comes down to analyzing risk vs. reward... If there's near zero risk, with relatively large payout, then it's more likely to be worthwhile. Also, even then it's a consideration of the potential punishment. That doesn't even consider those that feel the law itself is unjust and may circumvent for other reasons.

Forgive me, it's not a tracing JIT but just LLVM's JIT.

Precompiling in Julia is extremely not-straight-forward. You would think you just use --compile and it would work; but it doesn't at all.

Also, at ~850kb, Python's runtime is not that hefty. It's intended to be embedded and while it's quite a bit larger than lua's 200kb, but smaller than libjulia's 16mb.

Heh...freediving is the context in which one learns to hold his breath for that long :) Unfortunately, my static times don't translate as well into dynamic times. I'm basically limited to 2-3 minutes underwater when I'm moving. My PB for depth is around 50m, which is nowhere near elite.

I basically came to freediving too late in life to ever be world class in any of the disciplines. The funny thing is that, when it comes to status, what little my freediving training has gained me has come from the associated weight loss.

Berkeley should attempt to crowd source the captions. I'm sure many of the more popular classes could be captioned by volunteers.

With the right software, the rest could be cut up into segments, and Amazon's Mechanical Turk could be used to caption it for very little cost.

Berkeley could add a button to the viewer to report (or even for viewers to correct) errors that were made by Mechanical Turk users, when they are found by others viewing the material.

The costs for the Mechanical Turking could probably be raised very easily at any number of funding sites.

The worst part is that Berkeley should have these captioned for their own students anyway. I don't see how making the videos available to Berkeley students only helps in anyway.

Berkeley will probably have a policy that they will caption anything requested by a Berkeley student.

If I were enrolled in Berkeley I would request that 100% of the videos be captioned, so I had access to any of them I needed to learn something in the middle of the night before a test or for a paper.

Maybe they'd have to comply with that, and it would stop this nonsense.

>This is not true. No one says generics aren't required

Actually many have maintained exactly that, here on HN. Do you want me to post excerpts of such comments?

Heck, from this very thread: "I admit that I missed generics for the first several weeks but then just moved forward. Nowadays I don't really think I actually need them anymore."

>For at least a year several people on the Go team have acknowledged the demand for generics. Ian Lance-Taylor even added a doc to the go repo which summarised the entire discussion on the various possible implementations and their pros and cons.

I've read the summary, and most of the related blog posts. It has been close to a decade of Golang now. At which point can no practical progress in an area finally be considered as a neglect of indifference? After 7-10 more years?

Besides, regarding the acknowledgement I've posted sometime ago that I consider the standard "Generics are difficult, we just want to make sure we create them perfect before we attempt at adding them" position of the team as a discussion-stopper more than anything else. Perhaps you have some reason why I should be disallowed to be of and express that opinion? Because you don't seem satisfied to point that you consider it wrong.

>As usual you, coldtea, have posted an uninformed, polarising comment with the intent to provoke. Not surprised.

My intent is to express my position on the issue. Which is more or less the same, all these years, and I'm not sure why you'd expect that it should change, or that people who disagree with you should just shut up or something.

Plus, I don't care for your ad hominem.
Sorry, I still disagree with that comment. They're not comparing apples and oranges, here, they're saying "here's why we're using apples to approximate oranges". The graph is showing a close linear relationship between # of cars and stock price.

It's saying "There is some a and b such that:

a * "number of cars" + b ~ "stock price"

You can have a gripe with that method, sure, but the graph is fine.

There's probably thousands of languages in existence, with new ones being created all the time. Sure, if you're doing it as an exercise, more power to you. But if you're trying to get other people to use your language, the natural response is why should I bother with yet another language? I already don't have time to learn the the ten languages I'm interested in learning that already have a following.
I don't care what OS your on. When you start talking about latency it is all a nightmare. If latency isn't an issue then Pulse Audio works totally fine.

I actually like Jack when it is concerning latency and think it is a good system. BUT it is a pain.

I used 2 separate sound cards. One is a Pro level I/O breakout box that Jack controls and the on board sound card is controlled by PulseAudio.
I'm a Go user, both at work and at home. My most-wanted feature is Generics, but I trust the Go core team when they say they want to ensure the feature is implemented correctly. The absolute last thing I want is for them to rush some half-assed implementation, which becomes semi-permanent because they can't fix it without breaking everyone's code.

From a traditional (handwriting/typewriter) perspective, every symbol is just as valid as any other, of course.

What I find to be a particularly bad decision is still using the comma in the "modern" context of computers. It's basically just doing things different for the difference's sake.

The UK/US influence wrt. the notation of numbers in the computer age has been huge for historical reasons, with the effect that e.g. I know of no single programming language that uses a comma for this purpose.

Clinging to the comma (for spreadsheets for example) adds no substantial benefit, but generates much confusion if you find yourself in an unexpected regional setting and your numpad starts to produce commas or your excel sheet stops returning sensible numbers.

So, at least from my naive perspective, using comma and dots as two different digit separators is a bit silly because of their visual similarity, while continuing to use the comma for specific regions while the world of computing basically has (de facto-)standardized on other formats is sillyness that is actively maintained. One could essentially call it "notational cruft".

It reminds me of the US not adopting the metric system - but at least, I can see a high mental barrier there (if you "think" in °F, °C will always be weird).

Edit: Of course, no such post would be complete without to the NASA Mars Climate Orbiter [1], where exactly this effect (physics calculations are usually done in SI units) had caused rather costly practical issues.

This definitely sounds like a bug to me. Assuming your company is maintaining 3rd-party repos for both the older and newer versions of the distro, doing a distro upgrade should, logically, switch to your repo for the newer OS version automatically, so it's completely seamless to the user. If the distro isn't doing that, that seems like an oversight.
So yeah, I knew someone who worked at a place like this in their previous job. For him, it was just a job that paid really well. He frequently made more than Rs. 1 lakh per month, which is kind of a big deal in India when you're just a year or so out of an average, run of the mill college.

Generally, these 'call centres' train employees to think that Americans are really stupid people who can be scared & fooled easily. Given the commissions he made, they were damn good at it, specially with the older people who would pay fairly large amounts every month or so to keep their computers virus free.

He never thought he was in some scammy company though. For him, the callers were 'virus' hit users who were calling to get their computers repaired, and these guys just had to make quick, easy, FUD driven upsells.

Oh, and these guys are unhappiest when they are made the manager, who get a very small commission from their team's upsells. I guess this meant that no one was looking for 'career growth'.
The whole "exchanging fat for muscle" thing is wildly exaggerated. It really doesn't happen to any significant extent. You'll put a little muscle on your legs from cycling but at most probably a pound or two. When people claim they stayed the same weight but gained muscle, it's mostly wishful thinking. It's hard to put on significant muscle even when exercising specifically for that goal and intentionally gaining weight. It just doesn't happen accidentally from cycling to work.
Is it a "pawn" though? Your email address in their database does not necessarily mean your security has been compromised - just that your on a spam list somewhere?
Would doing this reduce or eliminate northern lights? That would be a little sad.
Everyone is talking about Generics but the thing that I found tiring in Go is having to do the "err != nil" thing all over the place (I admit that I spent couple of days learning Go so I'm not familiar with best practices/idioms in Go about error handling). Seems like the error handling in Go is another point the survey brought out:

> Other popular responses were GUIs, debugging, and error handling.

I really like the ease of defining Exceptions and just being able to "raise" them in Python - provides an easy early exit and the caller can handle them nicely in "except" clauses.

Edit: grammer
Sure they do?

Unless the goal is to be overly pedantic and claim "method" is the term vs "class method".

Take a look at the Vector example. "y" in the constructor and other methods refers to instance variable y on the Vector class instance.

Well, I don't think there's some magic way.

There are just the N ways PL research has found for implementing generics. Either they implement them, and tackle the complication one of those N ways entails, or they don't.

Besides, has anyone seen much experiments, with actual coding or at least design, for finding this "non-complicated" way anyway? Not just some post once in a blue moon re-iterating the basic well known tradeoffs.
More likely you'll have a 16:9 projector with black borders projecting unto flat black side walls, resulting in a full size back projected image.

The CRT people like grainy low res distortion so projecting onto the back of a purposefully bent and distorted piece of plastic should appear extremely similar to a CRT.

Of course this turns the problem of a CRT with finite filament life into a problem of a projector with a finite bulb life but presumably it would be easy to swap out the entire projector.

With considerable plywood hacking you MIGHT pull off attractive forward projection onto a screen for some games (not many of course) Or if you allow really ugly plywood hacking you can just place a projector screen in place of the CRT, ceiling mount the projector, and call it good.
In response, Berkeley is planning to release new and compliant content. Their official statement[1]:

"[W]e have determined that instead of focusing on legacy content that is 3-10 years old, much of which sees very limited use, we will work to create new public content that includes accessible features ... This move will also partially address recent findings by the Department of Justice which suggests that the YouTube and iTunesU content meet higher accessibility standards as a condition of remaining publicly available. Finally, moving our content behind authentication allows us to better protect instructor intellectual property from “pirates” who have reused content for personal profit without consent.

... Berkeley will maintain its commitment to sharing content to the public through our partnership with EdX (edx.org)."

They also released FAQ regarding the old content.[2]

Just about every programming language expert I've seen who's talked about Java generics says Java did a better job than C#. In fact, of all language runtimes that do generics, the .NET runtime is the only one that specializes. Examples of runtimes that do not specialize or reify generics:

* JVM

* Haskell runtime

* ML family of languages

* Modula-3

* Ada

The problem with specialized generics in the runtime is that they bake the type system of the language into the runtime itself, making the runtime more difficult to work with. Type erasure, for instance, makes it much easier to implement alternative languages on the JVM such as JRuby, Clojure, Scala, or Kotlin, than on .NET.

As another example, C# in 4.0 added the concept of generic type variance, which is completely at odds with specialized generics. To implement this feature, the C# language designers had to modify the underlying runtime itself and add special bytecode instructions for the feature. The feature itself is also incompatible with specialized generics, so when you use it you silently lose specialization.
In contrast, thanks to type erasure, the Scala language designers could easily add the same feature on top of the JVM as-is without needing Oracle to add special bytecode instructions.

Specialization has advantages for performance when doing number crunching with data structures and algorithms operating directly on integral or floating point data types. At the end of the day, though, if you really need performance for this very narrow field of use cases, you're probably not going to be using generic data structures and algorithms anyways. It takes an incredible amount of effort to build a data structure or algorithm that is both generic and also performant in all possible usage scenarios. It is however, much easier to build a data structure or algorithm that is specific and performant relative to your use case alone.

Case in point: when I was in college doing a NLP assignment that needed to be fast, my data structures were arrays of doubles because that was the easiest way to reason about and ensure performance.

The ADA is an example of a regulation that's entirely well-intentioned, but has tremendous second-order costs to society that very plausibly outweigh any benefit it's ever provided.

Hopefully this serves as a lesson. Next time we hear a "common sense" law proposed, take a few minutes to think about how people are going to abuse it, or what market mechanisms it's going to break, or how much it's actually going to cost society when you multiply the cost it introduces by the number of people it hurts.

Now, thanks to excessively litigious hard of hearing people at Gaulladet University and the ADA, society is objectively worse off. No one has benefitted from this action, except perhaps a few spiteful people with the attitude "If I can't have it, no one can." It truly disgusts me.

The amount of wiggle rooms needs to be kept pretty small or people will always work to use the wiggle room.

Studies leave it out because it's such a minor effect. You won't put on a meaningful amount of muscle from cardio.

Lots of stomach muscle, I guess.

The problem there is that, at the end of the day, it's a fallible human putting stuff in the "bullshit blacklist". It also means that you're evaluating a statement based on its source rather than its merits, which is.. bad.

When you're the #1 source of information on stuff in the world, that's an awful lot of power that can be trivially abused (e.g. "let's just blacklist unfavorable coverage of this lawsuit against us").
