I am pretty sure they are aware of D-Wave. There are not that many quantum computers on the market.

Surely you read the wikipedia link you posted as well :-) because it says there:

---

The study found that the D-Wave chip "produced no quantum speedup" and did not rule out the possibility in future tests.[62] The researchers, led by Matthias Troyer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, found "no quantum speedup" across the entire range of their tests, and only inconclusive results when looking at subsets of the tests.

vendor still doesn't work if your project is outside of GOPATH. The only thing the vendor folder is doing right now is precedence. Dep, the pre-alpha tool that is lining up to be the official dependency manager still doesn't work outside the GOPATH, hopefully they change that. The only thing that Go 1.8 did was add a default to GOPATH to $HOME/go.

In my ideal world, I should be able to clone a go project anywhere on my system, fetch the dependencies from the internet, yes the internet, because its 2017. (if you're that concerned with security fine, include them in your repo) but I should be able to call go build in that directory wherever it is.

Google's Python Fire – a library for creating CLIs from any Python object
I haven't used Hydrogen yet but it seems to be much more than just a drum synth/simulator, such as the ones you referenced as comparison (Studio Drummer, EZDrummer, etc).

Drum machines can mix and compose a variety to samples and synth sounds, these samples can be drum kit sounds but it's not necessary. So you likely only sampled a limited portion of the functionality.

You could also always purchase high quality drum samples and use it with this OSS programs if the built in library sucks. From experience, you could accomplish quite a bit with relatively simple drum machines.

The synth products on the other hand were the thing that was complex and needs to be high quality. Which is likely what you were looking for a drum simulation.

It can obviously be simultaneously true that people don't find themselves needing generics in practice, but still want them in the language. Also, there's nothing "inane" about that.
It would be a sad day indeed. There's nothing better than an occasional example from decades ago for one to re-evaluate current hype levels in programming ;).

I see what the goals of Gravity are, but are there any reasons I want to use it?

Side note: not a huge fan of implicit self, i.e. class methods automatically referring to "y" as the instance variable "y". I realize c# and Java do it, but worrying about name elision at all is something I'm not a fan of. From an ergonomics perspective, it makes editor autocomplete features slightly worse, as a prefixed "this" or what have you can give it additional context vs "anything in scope"
There's a lot you can do in programming without knowing a ton of math, just like these days you can drive a car quite well without having a degree in mechanical engineering. But just like with a car, the more you know about the deep underpinnings of things, the more you can do. A person with deep knowledge of how their car works may rebuild the engine and overbore the cylinders for more displacement, put in a camshaft with more lift, and replace the factory exhaust manifold with headers with better flow.

A computer programmer who understands the mathematical underpinnings of his work might replace the standard library implementation of HashMap with one that's better suited to his use case, or do his own derivations to figure out how to implement back-propagation in a neural network, etc.

No, it's not a perfect analogy, but the point stands I think - having the deep knowledge of the theory and foundations in any field enables you to push the boundaries beyond any "black box" that is provided to you.

My question to you is - what if deafness was eradicated?

Sign-language as a living language might suffer.

But would you consider this a net positive?

An analogy might be if blindness and sight problems became eradicated - and braille suffered a decline.

I would consider this a net positive for human quality of life.

I don't see the analogy between Hebrew/Jewish identity, and braille/sign language and blindness/deafness.

To me, the first is a cultural/religious identity - whilst the latter is an adaption to communicate as best as one can, with a more limited toolset. Of course, I see that it's not that black and white - there is a thriving deaf community, and they do have their own "language" (as in, more than just sign language itself), cultural norms etc.

However, I do really hope for one day where we might eradicate all of disabilities - deafness, blindness, mobility impairments etc.

Blast: Haskell Distributed Computing
The issue is that you'd also have to modify the software. A traditional lightgun can't tell the game where it recorded a hit, only when. It's up to the software to translate the timing information it got from the lightgun into a position on the screen. It accomplishes this by being synchronized with the electron beam of the CRT and thus having an accurate model for the position of the beam over time.

No, that was valid, concise, actionable feedback. Your original post was flippant and was not actionable. Although since gpkit almost assuredly uses the cPython c abi, and there is no emscripten backend for cPython, even this (much less flippant and much more actionable and valid) feedback isn't actually actionable because you cannot execute python+some c module using emscripten.
>"The excuse given for high prices is that there is a strong used book market for college textbooks, as most students sell off their textbooks at the end of the semester, so from the point of view of the publisher, they see only one sale in 5-20."

Right, and couldn't they make up for this by issuing e-Textbooks with lower prices that would much higher volume in terms of sales?

Also I believe the book stores themselves are in this farce, as large percentage of the bookstores are not run by the schools but private companies such as Barnes and Noble and Follet[1]. So they are making out in this scheme as well.

Isn't part of the problem with placebo is that it's unreliable?

Eg, if you can give me a way to achieve some amazing pain relief as a result of placebo, every time, it feels to me like this crosses the line from placebo to medicine.

The mind can do some crazy things, but we need to make it do these things reliably. I don't want a placebo form of anesthesia only to have it not work mis surgery haha. If however you can replace anesthesia with a placebo (purely as an example).. i almost feel like it's real medicine then. A technique to replace chemicals sure, but testable and reliable.
I have insider knowledge as I used to work for one of these companies.

Depending on the product you purchase the data comes from multiple sources. Also these companies have sophisticated machine learning capabilities to build a profile based on various attributes found in seemingly unrelated pieces of data.

So the list consists of credit reporting agencies, public records, your online profiles with public access, court records, aggregators like LexisNexis and dozens like them.

This heavy lifting you speak of is done differently by each company and consists literally based on multiple sources to enrich your profile. These companies spend millions on data and engineering and make even more, and whatever preconceived notion you have about courts ordering to seal your records, it doesn't happen in a centralized fashion, you would need to contact each data vendor individually to be removed. But it would be like playing whackamole.
After FB and Oculus, MS and Minecraft it should be clear that these companies only acquire for control.

Some random internet remarks:

0. This looks like the why in 'why are there new languages?'

1. Objects are a place based abstraction that provides the ability to distinguish between 'this' and 'that' in the same way that two identically optioned BMW 325i's may be distinguished, e.g. mine and yours.

2. Immutability is a value based abstraction in which two identically optioned BMW's are fungible (e.g. mine and yours while they are sitting on the dealer's lot awaiting sale).

3. The simplest object like data structure is a hash/hash map/hash table. An immutable hash table can probably provide all of the semantics you describe.

4. There are lots of languages with immutable hash tables.

5. Ruby is one of them and:

a. Ruby uses the . syntax.
b. Everything in Ruby is an object.
c. To a first approximation, any object in Ruby
may have any of its methods over-ridden/shadowed/redefined
d. The Ruby ecosystem supports writing new embedded languages,
e.g. Rails.
c. The downside is that, historically,
a first class Windows experience has
not been a priority of the Ruby community.

My random advice is to not get hung up on the dot syntax until it is clear that the semantics actually do what you want and therefore to mock up the semantics using hash-tables in a language that expects them to be immutable such as Clojure...hash-tables are more or less why Clojure does not have an object system.

Good luck.

Rather than actually fabricating new tubes, I think a smarter approach would be to make a convertible circuit with adjustments and connectors that could revive any/most CRT's. So you could find any non-punctured CRT, gut all the electronics, replace with the add-on board, and fire it up again. The new circuit would have HDMI or breakout boards for any interface you want, IR, Wifi, audio, etc.

Do you happen to have a good reference on using the Pi3 for audio? I spent a lot of Saturday trying to make mine do some stuff, and while a lot of the technical snafus were the usual sort, I did end up burning a lot of time googling around until I finally found someone who suggested turning off CPU performance scaling. Which was a forehead slap moment for me after that, but, still, it'd be nice if there was somewhere I could go that had that stuff more laid out.

(As implied, I've googled already. A lot.)

(The Pi3 seems to have more than enough CPU power for it to do what I want but I was having trouble just routing audio in a USB mic straight out to the speakers without dropouts and failures two or three times a second, even though the CPU is barely at 10%. I think turning off the scaling seemed to fix that, though I ran out of time just as I tried that to be sure.)
It's really hard to predict that stuff. People thought original Xbox emulation would be easy, since it was "essentially a PC", but it's the only console of that generation that still doesn't have a good emulator. Meanwhile WiiU emulation is already advanced enough that it can almost play the just released Zelda:BotW.

Technology aside, it's also a matter of interest. Many XboxOne and PS4 games already have PC ports, so there is less need and interest to create emulators. Nintendo consoles on the other side have many exclusives, so interest in emulating them seems to be higher.

Only time will tell.

I spent a little time working at Pearson on a textbook project, and yeah, they're pretty profitable, but the up-front costs are enormous. The production budget for the biology book I worked on was $10 million. And that was for a book that would be widely used at the high-school level.

For a math book like this, I'd guess they spent more like a million getting it done. I wouldn't be surprised if it was $50-100K just for the typesetting.

Really? Why do you need lots of VMs? Back when I did front end stuff I used Vagrant, so that's one, but maybe I weren't a real developer.

Now days I work with embedded stuff and only reason some people run VMs is that some clients use VPNs that require Windows, so they are running Linux on top of Windows, but again that's just one VM.

I generally agree with this, and would emphasize that wealth is not just due to intelligence or academic achievement as some are led to believe. In fact, accruing wealth has more to do with work ethic and simple living practiced over a long time than being a wizard at something or getting credentials. The whiz kids who make it big are a tiny fraction of all smart people. The rest of the smart people have to grind it out over decades to assemble an inheritance which will maybe afford their children the opportunity to generate wealth from rents.

A lot of people frankly don't care enough about the lives their children, if any, will lead, and want a wealthy lifestyle fast. As you pointed out, more intelligent people also see how the system works and may resent it more.
You're right. But then again, let's consider how little time has passed, even if the progress has been very fast.
