I'd really like a way to pay for each of the first episodes and then to shell out the remaining price for the whole season if I like it.

That's how Amazon works; when you buy a season any individual episodes are refunded.
This equation starts with 0 users and grows pretty slowly at first. It only flips once you have a critical mass of users, and by then it's "too late" to preventatively fix the architecture to bias to performance.

There are also lots and lots of products that take a "npm+glue" approach - they ship an initial version that leverages everything possible, and then run aground trying to make it to version 2, because the architecture is so reliant on the dependencies that it can neither be maintained nor support any additional features. This is a little bit different from the "Electron problem" in that it identifies a showstopper limitation to using developer-side easings, rather than a long-term paper cut issue.
One of my earlier programming experience was writing a more expressive alternative to ascii math [1]. I learned later that this was also the first compiler that I ever write. It fixes some of the shortcomings of asciiMath, like you should never have to resort to latex like syntax, you can enter Unicode characters directly, and it has a nice mapping to MathML.

> What's Slack doing compared to a full (if primitive) OS and userland?

Connecting to the internet.
Wifi would be connected. Underlying internet would be dead. So your cell would try to route through the Internet (via the wifi) to no avail.

Try it if you have wifi calling enabled. Just pull the plug on the router and see how long it takes your cell to disable wifi calling.
You can calculate rule 110 by pen and paper, so at least the brain-pen-paper system is Turing complete.

However, the brain is not a Turing machine, probably. There aren't discrete states, no transition table, no tape, etc. We probably don't store information remotely like a Turing machine does (with arbitrary symbols).

There's a remote chance that the opposite is true, and there are functions humans can calculate that Turing machines can't.
That is a self-destructively unpleasant thing to say.
Chinese people going to Japan in droves to buy their products is enough of a thing that it has its own word (bakugai[0].)

"Almost every Chinese mainlander" is, what, almost a billion people? I doubt that any statement describing what most Chinese think or believe is likely to be very true.

Any feedback on the product and technology from you guys will be much appreciated Thanks :)
AsciiMath optimises for ease of use in both reading and writing. Fewer people know how to write x² than x^2, yet virtually everyone will read them equivalently. That's not true for n/2 versus \frac{n}{2}.
Yeah, that's why I used consent. Consent is a messy topic that requires a best effort and careful deliberation. I definitely agree that EULAs like that are in a dangerous gray area.
http://symbolhound.com/ is great for searching symbols or code.
Because you don't know which of the five years the employee will select to retire, and because they're getting into the range where it's not unreasonable to suppose that over a period of some years, they may need long leaves of absence to address medical conditions, etc.

To be clear, I'm not justifying this attitude. Just explaining how it can be expensive to have older employees, even excluding potential impact on group insurance rates. Of course, on the flip side, you get a lot of benefits from a highly experienced, highly mature workforce.
I don't understand the definition of "unikernel" here. There's nothing preventing a microkernel architecture from being the basis of a unikernel.

Unikernel isn't the opposite of microkernel.
I won't go into details on why the brain isn't a UTC - this is useful:

I assume someone has already brought this up, but it is late and I can't read through 300 comments. From what I recall and have read, this individual has been on the radar of the security services since 2010 and so was a known potential threat. With a history of violence and criminal behavior. Yet effective monitoring of such individuals WAS NOT DONE and apparently isn't. Instead, there is this post-hoc demand that all of the public must give up their right to privacy because the idea of 'pre-crime' prevention is actually viable...

complete and utter bollocks.

So a blanket violation of law abiding citizens rights is more important than actually keeping tabs on known threats more closely and effectively. Pedophiles are viewed with less disdain than terrorists it seems. And the threat of terrorism is trumpeted to the heavens while pedophilia is apparently more rampant is UK society...

It is quite illogical that law abiding people suddenly snap and decide to drive their cars into groups of tourists. How prevalent are the actual potential terrorists - i.e. those with a history of violence, trouble with the law, radicalization, etc? If I knew those stats, then I personally would be better able to judge the claims of the authorities. But I don't have those stats and so the logical assumption is that their claims are exaggerated shite designed to drum up fear and etc etc. Meanwhile idiotic claims that all encryption must be banned or tapped, even for law abiding businesses (does no one remember Cameron's proposals?) are floated... nothing but Band-aids all the way down.

I could move back to America, but at this point, that is like jumping out of the frying pan. I really need to learn a second language, preferably Mongolian.

Guido presents static typing for Python using MyPy (2016)
It doesn't ignore HTML structure, it ends up like it does precisely because it iterates through the structure in order when moving the boxes to either side. It makes it fairly predictable if you just loop through the structure in your head and push the boxes to the side they are floated at.
If using every product requires reading a dozen pages (at the very least), then how do you expect to use literally any mobile phone you can buy in a store?
Absolutely, but search alone won't cut it no matter how smart it is. For profitability you need a whole ecosystem where ads is a major revenue source.

DuckDuckGo is a fine search engine and I believe they'd benefit a lot from services like ads, email, blogs, docs, shops, apps, social, etc.
No, I actually read the book, so I know what it is.

What I meant was how the book fits into the timeline and the authorship? On one hand it's largely about rule 110, which was Cook's finding, but in the other Wolfram said he was working on it for 10 years.

My brother's an archeologist, and spent a lot of time in Cyprus. (Fabulous place. Go visit. Some of the best food in the world. Also, did you know there used to be tiny elephants and hippos living there?)

There's a lot of history there. I heard him on several occasions complaining about all that nasty modern Roman trash cluttering up his dig sites.

> aren't good solutions, but those which get popular quickly.

but by the judgement of a majority, those tools are good! That's why it got popular. Any personal sense of aesthetics from you (or anyone) doesn't matter at all here, and most people who call tools that failed 'good' are only judging it by personal aesthetics.

This strikes me as some kind of terrible vicious cycle: tradeoffs against performance (towards build speed) were made > users got used to slower software > users unconsciously prefer/select for slower software.

When you do get to use it, using performant software is a really great experience, so how to we train users to appreciate this?
Was disappointed to find that nearly all the examples were Python and shell script. I'm not interested in knowing random trivia about how slow various interpreters are.
Isn't x^2 typed <x><^><space><2>, while x² is the same minus the <space>, on most keyboards?
YMMV, my opinion etc etc:

For me its a huge advantage, massive ecosystem of existing libraries to fill any gaps in the clojure ecosystem and an extremely fast garbage collector + JIT.

Stack traces are annoying though, but fixing those is waayyyy easier than replicating the JVMs advantages.

Fast, bulletproof GC is beyond essential when using persistent data structures.

>> So you make a dubious and suspect, wrong, claim, and you refuse to retract it. So now we know. So I guess this is not a mistake, you have a conclusion and you're ok with misdirecting people to show you're right.
Got it.

I have to say, your devastating critique really has shown me a thing or two! I'm envious of how capably you marshalled the evidence in support of your arguments, and of the way in which you picked apart my every point. It must give you a sense of pride, knowing what you do with such clarity.

>> I'd ask you to just stop talking about science, but I guess that'd be too much to ask ?

I can only say that in future I'll try to follow your example, and limit my discussions to subjects about which I have the same level of confidence as you displayed today.
I think the civ5 wait times were more about AI than graphics.
Ghengis, and the Mongol Empire in general, is the most exceptional empire in history. What I mean by exception is that it broke all the rules...circumstances that doomed any other empire didn't have the same effect on them.

I'm not going to discount Alexander's successes. From all sources, he was very talented, if impulsive, cavalry calendar

Greece's climate and proximity to the coast made it one of the wealthiest areas in the world at the time due to exports of olive oil and wine. This allowed the free citizenry to be outfitted with the finest armor available at the time. That the Hoplites were free citizens, and not slaves, endowed them with a greater amount of morale than a number of other militaries at the time. Also, I believe his father was the one who created the phalanx formation. Put simply, he inherited the greatest fighting force at the time while being extremely well-funded.

The Great Man theory isn't entirely wrong, Napoleon springs to mind as another person who had an outsized influence on history. It's just that much of the history taught in US schools is about singular individuals and dates. They don't really go into the overall conditions of the times and that history is also the result of the decisions of everyday people like you and I
Which is great and awesome. I was the same way. But what unfortunately happens is your output and productivity from this becomes the norm/standard. Everyone above needs to know they can't and shouldn't calculate not expect this amount of output. Consider it a temporary bonus and never rely or make plans assuming it. That's the difficult thing for everyone above to do. They want to appear to be the hero and they don't want to say no. As a manager or leader, make sure your folks never put in more than 45 hours a week for planned out work. 40 or 35 would be better. Once they got 40 hours for the week or 80 for the two week pay period have them learn a new skill, train them on something else, or tell them to stay home.
I feel that extended family, rather than nuclear family, is the cornerstone (of sensible living anywhere, not particularly of western living). And I think, divorce doesn't have to separate extended families, people have their own relationships which either work or don't regardless of what the couple feel about each other. But I don't think that making marriage consensual makes it trivial. On the contrary, I think that making marriage nonconsensual makes it a mockery. In what sense are people who despise each other married at all?

And the main threat to both extended families and marriage in the west is capitalism, of the particular, late, people-as-replaceable-cogs globalized variety. Who these days can afford to live where they grew up? Fix that, and you will see families reuniting.

As for the case in the original link, it's discriminatory that men have unequal power to end the marriage, but it's far more important, IMO, that marriages which end don't seem to carry the obligations they ought, of extended support and support for the children. This is the real discrimination, since it allows husbands to hold over wives the threat of destitution - or to carry it out.
They have metrics through Nielsen. They might not have your data unless you're a Nielsen house but their sampling is usually good enough. Agree though that what the money holders actually care about (beyond more money) is mysterious.
It's true that Yahoo uses bing, and I don't think anyone has said in public what Yahoo is up to with Slurp.
> Does anyone do QA any more?

-QA pays much less, even for technically demanding roles like embedded systems SDET.

-There's little to no career growth for QA.

-QA is the first to be let go during layoffs.

-Developers routinely trash-talk QA people.

And, thus, it should hardly be a surprise that teams keep releasing products that cause people to ask "Does anyone do QA any more?"
The Artificial-Services Economy
Emergency calls normally default to cellular, instead of defaulting to WiFi, as it provides more consistent location information.

Even if it tries wifi first, it should fallback to cellular within 30 seconds if a call attempt is made.
Time off. Compensation will lead to a belief we can keep up this pace with this team for $xxxxx. It's not sustainable and it's a lie. Don't allow a lie to perpetuate. Your folks will burnout.

I dug around the site, I have no idea what this is. A linux distro? a solaris one? why is their barely any info except a download link?
Yes, you just have to figure out how to get a large enough percentage of the market to switch to you so you can make a profit.

That's a much harder problem to solve today then when Google trounced AltaVista in 2000. Now search engines are tightly integrated into browsers.

One hint: I switched to Google when they released a browser toolbar. I even remember deciding to switch to whoever released a browser toolbar. What's today's equivalent of a browser toolbar?
I used to think it was about as good as could be expected for a graphical editor (which meant it was rubbish). And then I found LyX which was infinitely better. That was years ago and MS might have caught up by now.

And yet, despite how much I like LyX, I keep using real LaTeX instead -- especially when there is complex maths. That's because the ability to create macros in maths eventually outweighs everything else readability-wise.

And I'm afraid the same logic applies to AsciiMath. Is there some equivalent to

\newcommand[1]{vr}{\mathbf{r_#1}}

Or am I just going to have to use somethng `bb"r"_1` for every instance? That's a lot less readable than `\vr1`.
A CEFR-like approach to measure programming proficiency
What saddens me is that instead of improving the web software development process with tried and tested methodologies, the inverse happened, and the web and its terrible software ecosystems and perpetrators are somehow seen as the "cool kids" of software development. When observer pattern is seen as the holy grail of modern web development, you know we are in trouble.
Actually I've worked on a great many monolith projects over the past 20 years, including a J2EE server (WebLogic). And yes that was a huge monolith that had technical debt that needed addressing. When I left there was this future "modularity" project that I'm certain didn't involve introducing network boundaries between the servlet, EJB, JCA containers, etc. to achieve that modularity. And I can tell you that there was a definite effort to enforce interface/package boundaries between the various server components. If you introduced an "illegal" dependency you were going to be talked to about removing it. I want to say that we actually had the build breaking on such infractions after I'd moved to product management.

The point I was making is exactly what you're talking about. That sometimes deadlines force bad architectural choices and that's called technical debt. The laziness and lack of discipline comes with failing to acknowledge and address that debt in the future. As best I can tell people think that microservices are going to solve that problem and I'm saying they won't and that there's not enough thought going into the price of network.

Just like in real life when it comes to being in shape. Diet and exercise. There's no silver bullet there either and it seems to me as though microservices are the fad diet of the current tech cycle.

I realize this stuff isn't cut and dried and easy. If it were then none of us would have well paying jobs to figure out when to use what tool for what job. There's a time and a place for all solutions but I'm seeing the same groupthink I saw back when everyone was purchasing Sun, Oracle, and WebLogic for sites that didn't and would never need those tools. This is EJB all over again as best I can tell.

As far as your shared libraries comment goes, you wouldn't consider having any shared libraries ever? What you're describing are permutations of a shared library that either need to be addressed by the shared library's design by adapting or splitting into multiple libraries. I'd be interested in learning what you do instead of sharing components? Duplicating everywhere?
As I understand it, "A Netflix Original Series" only means that they have exclusive distribution rights in a given region/country.
That's fulfilling work to you. I coined a phrase just last night: "If it's not fulfilling, it's draining."
Ah, but what if your work is play for you?

And what if family stuff occurs like work?

I worked 90 hour weeks sometimes in grad school. But otherwise, only when I've billed by the hour.
I'm making a more abstract argument that doesn't have anything to do with money. The time people spend using a piece of software shouldn't be worth less than the time developers spend writing it.
funnily enough, the US military uses CORBA for some systems.

"the Navy has specified the use of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)—the military's favorite mission-critical middleware model."

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/10/the-n...

of course, the military has control of the allowed corba implementations so they don't suffer from some of the problems that plagued CORBA, including different runtimes, and get all the typed benefits and speed benefits.
float deliberately takes elements out of content flow ("ignores HTML structure"). That's its entire thing. That's its deal. You don't want that? Don't use float.

I use Fi, and it will refuse to call over wifi if the connection is even slightly finicky. If a cell phone tries to place a call over wifi with no internet and then doesn't retry over the cell network I would call that a bug.
This equation starts with 0 users and grows pretty slowly at first. It only flips once you have a critical mass of users, and by then it's "too late" to preventatively fix the architecture to bias to performance.

Sure, but everyone's always planning for the future when they choose databases, backend architecture, etc. Why not plan for the future in user experience, too?
"The presence of hidden rules..." except they are not hidden. IANAL and don't have link at hand, but there was recently a legally pretty well based argument in a case of a player who had an assitant able of recognizing cards from the back pattern.

"you're only pushing the buttons" except they were not only pushing a button, they were also recording sequences and sending them abroad for analysis.

But as you directly say that exploiting the flaws of a slot machine is not cheating and that it's fair, I guess I won't be able to persuade you otherwise.
Yes, the third season. Speculation is that the current ratings are diving, thus the fourth season is unlikely.
But wind and solat cant deliver enough and its not storable yet, solve that and you have my support until then i am going to stick to supporting any effort to build nuclear over wind. Solar is different.
Huh? Not sure how that's relevant to you trying to use a garbage argument in response to very valid criticisms of modern China. Everything PP said was accurate, US doesn't come close by comparison, your observation is manipulatively off base.
Unfortunately devs aren't given any time to optimise it to run on slow machines. It is not a priority.
It's not that hard though. I'm a junior dev and i managed to implement ES ( AWS hosted of course) for our site search on my on own. If i can do it, pretty sure majority of people can do it.
In consumer product development, the software side is often cobbled together by an intern or entry-level SW engineer, who basically slaps a bunch of vendor-supplied firmware or poorly configured open-source software together until it works.
There is rarely top level direction on how the software should be designed from a security perspective.
Management is usually directed by supply-chain people for whom words like "Rust," "buffer overflow," or "security" are not in their vocabulary.
In most cases there is no budget to rewrite anything in a new better, language, and the amount of software and complexity of the moving parts is too much to understand let alone rewrite without a dedicated team of software/firmware specialists.

TL;DR management priorities, quantity/complexity of software involved.

Source: was that intern.
That's the fault of the implementation client-side. You shouldn't fire off an ajax request on every key stroke but leave a certain timeout zone after keys are pressed to detect "yeah this guy has finish typing, let's search now".
