The philosophy of transcendental, non-dual Shaiva Tantra has lots to say about this subject.

One being that, your belief about what you feel about yourself is not your authentic, true self. These beliefs are generally narratives, some deeper than others. Examples of narratives include: "I am successful"; "I am a failure"; "I am smart"; "I am dumb"; "I am socially graceful"; "I am socially inept". Rather that arising from narratives, no matter how deeply held, the authentic self arises naturally and spontaneously from the transcendental ground from which all phenomena arises from.

In other words, "be yourself" is once both good advice and bad advice. It's generally where you want to go (at least from the perspective of Shaiva Tantra). But you need sufficient wisdom -- that is, awareness -- of knowing your true self.

The other is that what arises naturally and spontaneously may not be something you want to arise naturally and spontaneously. Someone who is naturally and spontaneously an asshole is still an asshole. Part of the practices Shaiva Tantra involves becoming. If you want to be a compassionate person, it isn't enough to put on a social mask so people see you behaving in a compassionate way; that is not authentic. It isn't enough to want to do it, or to feel it welling up deeply inside of you. Rather, it is becoming (that is, the transformation into) the person such that being compassionate is natural and spontaneous.

Shaiva Tantra is not the only teaching that has something to say about this subject. Another one I learned from books written by that trickster, Carlos Castaneda, this idea of impeccable intent. It's another way of saying "integrity" or "authenticity", or "wholeness". There are others -- Lao Tzu, for example. Rumi.
Very exciting release!!!!!

Please stop with the partisan flamebait.
>Huh? Just see all the gmail ids.

That doesn't mean people are happy with the situation nor the product. In many situations, as I already mentioned, it doesn't even mean the product is successful. I'm well aware of all these near-monopolies and how many users they have- Gmail's monopoly over email, Google's monopoly over search, YouTube's monopoly over video, etc. Plenty of users are extremely dissatisfied with these services. Furthermore, your point doesn't address the "mono-culture", which is a separate issue from some specific corporations maintaining very high userbases.

>Keeping products free is the distraction. People give away all sorts of things and start rationalizing in curious ways to get freebies.

This doesn't respond to what I said at all. I'm saying there is no evidence that software provided without a direct cost inevitably has an impact in deterring activism.

I worry that you don't understand what "free software" is. Facebook is free as in free beer, not as in freedom. There is a huge difference. You should read up on the definitions of free and proprietary software.
I think you misunderstand - NN is new, the internet worked fine on its own prior to it.
NN is not a colloquial "neutrality" agreement, its a "lets force carriers to do things because we don't understand how it works".

I've worked on the carrier side, on the last mile side and on the consumer side and I'm not a fan of most of the proposed legislation. We need to prevent anticompetitive practices, but thats about it.

I'm with you. I still feel a bit surprised at the cognitive dissonance required to support internet privacy (on one hand) and on the other, recommend having a government body regulate _the entire internet_.

I wonder if this breakdown is at least in part between populations in the USA and everyone else.

I've sat down with some pro-nn folks, honestly trying to understand how they reconcile the two, and have not made much progress.
Be afraid all you want, doesn't matter to me.

Thiel knew he'd be attacked, took a risk, and there's zero reason to believe he's not happy with the results; if you think Thiel cares what the "Bay Area" thinks, I'd be interested in your reasoning.

Uber's not even worth covering, they're currently a cluster F$&@ waiting to happen and the idea that it was somehow born of talking with Trump is what it is.

Bay Area and for the matter the greater tech community needs to engage the world, not withdraw from it.
yet comcast has a virtual monopoly on last mile. which is the only part that matters. many towns only have comcast (or like dialup or something crazy slow). let's take an extreme example where comcast uses a blackout to get a better deal with youtube. customers don't have the option to switch to a different provider. even if they did have the choice, it's not as simple as just calling up a new provider to switch services, you have to wait to get activated, at the worst case a matter of days before someone can come out to install hardware.

While all their CEOs will make faint noises in favor of Net Neutrality, SV outspends Wall Street 2:1 on lobbying[1], the goal of which is to cement monopoly status, not to make the world a better place. Most of it goes to Republicans.

The leaders of Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc are NOT Republicans. Most of them are pro-immigration, pro-abortion, and pro-gay marriage.

I've taught English to thousands of students who learned it as a foreign language, built and run a school with two partners and I'm the one who was in charge of the curriculum and teaching side. I'm positive that 2,000 words isn't enough to be "passably fluent" in the poster's words. Anyone who tells you otherwise is probably trying to sell you something (or has read too much Tim Ferriss).

Yes, it's possible to express a large number of daily life phrases such as "which bus goes to the train station?" or "what's in #3 on the lunch menu?" with a tiny vocabulary but you often won't understand the answers. I've done this before in a few languages.
Would you also disagree with a company/labor union distinction?

Aurora now supports db.t2.small instances which means that you can now try it out for just $30/mo ($0.041/hr x 24 x 30.5) or $24/mo if you opt for a no-upfront-fee 1 year Reserved Instance. A more highly available two instance/Multi-AZ setup would cost you twice as much. This comes on the heels of the previous price drop from $200+/instance to $60/instance when they announced support for db.t2.medium instances in November last year.

Straight up MySQL RDS is still cheaper at approx $25/mo for db.t2.small and $12.50/mo for a db.t2.micro instance (not supported by Aurora). But since Aurora data is stored redundantly and recovery happens automatically, even a single instance setup is probably better that what a lot of people are running now.

AWS claims automated recovery times of 15 mins for a single instance and less than 60 sec for a Multi-AZ configuration[1]. Seems like this entry level Aurora instance should be a no-brainer for anyone running MySQL RDS on a db.t2.small instance in a production-like environment today without high-availibility.

> ...I'm even more unhappy about the idea of government bureaucrats dictating network engineering standards to carriers and ISPs.

Why? Government bureaucrats dictate aviation engineering standards to airplane manufacturers, automobile engineering standards to car manufacturers, radio engineering standards to electronics manufacturers, and so on. These are generally good things: they ensure that citizens can have a reasonable expectation of safety and that resources are shared fairly.

Even with better competition, the ISPs will still wield a tremendous amount of power - internet access is critical to modern, prosperous life, so demand will be quite inelastic regardless of what they do to consumers. Furthermore, lifting regulations that providers must service an entire market won't help the many consumers who are in single family homes. They'll be left to pay for the service of a monopoly (or a duopoly if they're lucky) who can now legally extort smaller content providers without the power and clout to negotiate better terms.
Brand new? And no, I don't think so. Sketch is awesome but it isn't a substitute for work that you would do in Photoshop.

You're right, using a doubly-recursive algorithm [1] for `fib` is a terribly naive and uncharacteristic way to write it in any language, including Julia. But it's a wonderful proxy for the cost of a function call. It's also quite scientific — there's an absolute truth for the correctness of an implementation. All languages must use a doubly-recursive scheme.

It all depends on what you want to measure. The whole point of the micro-benchmark suite is to test very specific language primitives. I'd argue that the current set of benchmarks are more valuable for that than an "expert" implementation would be — that may end up simply testing the cleverness or resourcefulness of the expert.

You could, and that's partially what prompted the question, but that's not quite what the specification says currently.

edit:

and unambiguous.

var x = "\u0307\u0323\u0073"

var y = "\u0073\u0323\u0307"

These are arguably the same grapheme when displayed on a screen, but they would be considered different keys in SON, and sorted in different spots. I'm actually unsure if most diffing systems would catch that they are different or not, and if so, how they would represent that difference to the end user (since just showing the grapheme would be useless as they are the same).

The specification is silent on normalization, so a SON pipe could output an object with those as keys (and still meet spec), but not be accepted by a conforming SON parser (that did unicode normalization on incoming keys). So really, the specification should say which of the canonical normalized forms to use, or that keys should specifically may not be normalized/modified in any way. This works fine if you're running something like JavaScript -> JavaScript -> JavaScript, but would fail if a (currently conforming) system in the middle defaults to normalized unicode representations. In other words, would a pipeline like Firefox -> Swift -> Python -> Swift -> Nodejs -> Swift -> Firefox, even if they had conforming SON implementations (of the current specification)?
reasonable political ideologies can lead to "extreme" outcomes. (I consider an extreme outcome to be one that requires human nature to change, in order to be successful.)

Since I think bureaucrats are gonna bureaucrat, handing them power over anything is a terrible idea.

Are companies good? no, many of them are terrible.

But if enough people don't like a company, the company ceases to exist.

I've yet to see a similar mechanism work for changing something about a bureaucrat i don't like.

I.E. the same thing that causes you to distrust a company (human nature) plays out just the same with a government body. What is it about being a bureaucrat that fixes human nature?

This is fantastic. So much has not changed in the programming curriculum at universities in 50 years - just the language and few more complementary classes.
It's something I'd expected someone to know in anything related to data science / machine learning / big data. But if it wasn't a position specific to those fields, then yeah that's that a pretty silly riddle of a question.

edit: even within those fields, it's definitely more of a very-specific-domain-knowledge type of question and not something that I think is worth the time to ask it in a job interview.
>TFW you're voted down immediately for calling out sexism which, though very explicit, has so far gone uncommented upon

What reaction were you hoping for? That we'd refuse to read the thoughts of someone who lived 150 years ago because you deem one line sexist?

It's more shocking to me that someone could read a letter like this and get only "author is sexist" as the message.

By the way, "freshness, elegance, humanity, the capacity for motherhood" are traits I looked for (and found) in a mate. Guess he's not wrong.

Russian here. "Excellent" is better.

"Прекрасно" is "good in every way", "perfect", it is something that cause wonder and delight or feeling of exaltation. So it's not about beauty. It's about what beauty of something do to you.

Those looking to roll back net neutrality are better organized, better funded, and better connected.

I hate to say it, but this battle seems lost.

We don't need to squander our time arguing over the finer points of the policy. We need a simple way to explain it to the masses.

There are several other videos on that product page that are HD, which suggests that they probably just don't have a high-res copy of that particular video.

Your examples are all safety (including public safety), or shared-resources (radio spectrum).

Fiber I lay in the ground isn't a shared resource, and no one's safety is impaired by prioritizing my on-network traffic over off-network traffic.

A more direct analogy is government regulation of something like how food tastes or how entertaining TV shows are.

There's some justification for regulating carriers who have an enforced monopoly in a region, but the problem is the monopolies are local government monopolies, and the regulation here would be national.
I only browse Facebook via mobile safari. I do not have the iOS fb app installed. It does way too much and it squeezes as much metadata as it can out of every single permission you grant it.
This is a good comment. Ideally, JIT would reach some asymptotic improvement and then stop running. It would only need to start running again if the code changes.

I think however there is some fundamental communication issues talking about "compilers vs language". Optimizing compilers, by definition, rewrite your code into a "better" form. Even if you are writing C/C++ you probably don't really know what's happening at the register level. Heck, with todays CPUs I wonder if even assembly people know what's actually happening in the registers!

I liked this part: "the student is treated in no way differently from the faculty or staff in the nature of...contact with the processing capacity of the computer." Says a lot about the hierarchy of the period (as does the use of "his contact" in the original...)

This is ironic to me because I have seen that the other way from usual: in 1984 I was a TA at Stanford for a class whose students were grad students and faculty in the philosophy department (I was part of a team at PARC developing a new programming language relevant to the work at the newly formed CSLI). Most of them had never touched a computer before. Some of the faculty didn't enjoy being "students" again, and many didn't do the homework.

And a couple of years before I was taking a humanities class at MIT. A special section of 6.001 (introduction to programming, taught in Scheme) was being offered to the faculty. He asked me for help with the homework.

This was at a time when I think the majority of MIT undergraduates arrived without having used a computer more powerful than a pocket calculator.

Scalia gives this example in a 2005 minority opinion.[1]

If a Powerwall saves the utility money, then any discount flowing from that is just returning money to the customer. My watching a video on Facebook instead of YouTube does nothing like that.[2]

[2] As an aside, neither do Powerwalls. Utilities sell commodities, so any savings must be realizable as reduced usage. E.g. if solar were cheaper but for storage, utilities could buy storage themselves.
