As an economist subscriber, I would say that it does not present a diversity of opinions at all. It presents a unified world view based on libertarianism. I read a nice satire once that pointed out that according to the economist there is no problem that couldn't be solved without lower taxation, more deregulation, and more free trade.

I love the economist, but If you want balance, you'll need to read alternative sources that provide a more (dare I say it) compassionate viewpoint.
Samsung is terrible with their OS, if they switched phones to a software similar to their TVs, that would instantly kill their mobile division.

Maybe they should look into bringing an AOSP phone without any cloud services (not only without Google, but without any; or at least easily uninstallable, unlike their current offering) and capitalize on recent anti-Google and anti-spying sentiment. That would require renegotiating their contract with Google through.
Their V-Drums were also probably best in class.
With respect to #2 -- "more quickly" could be a bit much, but there are quite a few combination locks (of the sort commonly found on cheap-ass high-school lockers) wherein getting within 2-3 digits of each digit in the combination is sufficient to open them.

Given that, I could easily see how "feeling" that you'd hit the right digit (give or take) might be faster than focussing on visually actually hitting the right digits.
I do pay attention to it. I actually host an Elixir meetup out of my own pocket... going on 2 years now. I'm ~$3000 into a labor of love helping people learn and be exposed to Elixir's various features and help them make sense of its Erlang underpinnings.

Having used both Erlang and Elixir "in anger" there are a whole bunch of things that bug me about Erlang. There are a whole bunch of things that bug me about Elixir too. I'm not sure what any of that has to do with what I said. Elixir is a more complicated and larger language than Erlang.

It has structs (which are weirdly implemented as maps instead of records). It has type-classes/traits by way of "protocols" (which are a whole different layer of metaprogramming that could be replaced with behaviours and data-structure definition convention or dialyzer type-spec'ing). It has the pipe operator (which strangely elides the first argument in a function such that map/2 becomes map/1 when written... why no placeholder sigil). It has Agents (which are something which is confusing to have in the standard library as its a specific implementation of a gen_server which acts as a KV-store which will be really, really prone to data races). It has a fair bit of metaprogramming to be aware of in terms of macros and hooks that trigger at code loading/import time (which forces one to need to be a lot more aware of the inner details of 3rd party libraries being used). It eventually devolves into requiring knowledge of Erlang when attempting to do anything regarding debugging, tracing, or distribution related.

Elixir is a great language, and it has a lot of neat features, and I love teaching it to people and being increasingly critical of Erlang based on advancements in usability and community engagement/feedback that I see happening around Elixir. But I don't really need to be proselytized to about it.
I want this for learning faster, summarizing a page, but it's hard to teach something (to me). Like have it pull all the text in plain text, you read the page and pull the information that is new/important to you. Which this is subjective/different per person, but if the "AI" is unique to you then I think that would make sense.

But for this to work, you'd have to have a history/scope of your current knowledge.

It is a good example indeed.

Though when dealing with people who reject "worse is better", remember that some people may not grasp the idea, but others may grasp it very well and just consider it a bad thing - a problem to work around.
I work in a huge company. Being consumed with what might be tomorrow is taken to an extreme. Given what I hear from other companies, this is very common. Sad part is, it never works. Designs don't ever match up with real world requirements (they match up very well to stated requirements). Anticipated changes never happen, but other changes do, and ... then of course a rewrite is needed, after attempting to get 2-3 unanticipated changes built into the "agile" design. "Technical debt", is the explanation, often without any further clarification.

We have inventory control systems that have their own database server (including disk format, their own indexing system, ...), own query language (because, ... euhm ... needless to say, someone wrote a script that dumps their own database into a mysql, and deletes and rebuilds the mysql every 2 hours, and everyone uses that to query the data. These days, even including the team that built the product). Impressive code (or I should say, impressive that it doesn't burn down our data more often). The point of doing/having done this ? It makes everyone's life more complicated, which seems to mean more reason to promote the participants.

Of course, failure of designs and over complicated designs is always seen as a reason to do more design (every postmortem, every time), with more anticipated future evolution, instead of less. Better and more accurate product managers, better and more accurate requirements (that are never going to come). I shudder to think what happens after rewriting databases from scratch has become the norm. More product managers to collect better requirements from people who don't know their own requirements. And of course, none of them ever see any need whatsoever to understand the problem they're solving.

The scary part is, rewriting database engines starting from a basic key-value store ("nosql") does in fact seem to be the norm now, even on hacker news. App-specific query languages are everywhere. People are I'm not kidding proud of doing this. Nobody seems to realize that this just isn't worth it.

Cynicals say that this is simply "CV-first engineering". Of course the database system for your company ticketing system needs to scale to 50000 employees, and 1 billion customers, never mind that you have 10 at the moment. When you go and interview at Google/Facebook/Amazon, and they ask you "what have you built", are you going to answer "a system that works really well for our 100-person 500-customers company" which runs really well on a single cloud server. They'll laugh you out of the room. (of course reality is that no, they won't laugh you out of the room)

I had some tears ago the idea of using this proyection for navigation maps in cars. This was when inception came out of course.
The idea was adding a new kind of display for your TomTom in your car windshield. Obviously you need a very powerful hud-augmented reality generator to display a map like this in your windshield and don't have the image block your actual road view. Way too out of current technology and my capabilities.

Curious episode: there was this story about an American woman who came to a public office where I lived here in Italy asking about a place near the seaside, and really couldn't understand how the employee would continue using the word "bitch" so freely... it took them some time to clarify that he was referring to the beach :D
Had we taken the money we spent on the war on poverty and just given it out to the poor, with a inexpensive financial literacy and education program to go along with it, we could have actually solved most poverty.

Most poor people just need a little bit of a leg up to get them out of the hole, and then are able to crawl the rest of the way out and better themselves without much additional help, often within the same generation.

Instead we formed an endless number of programs, targeted at specific regions, minorities and groups, with an seemingly endless number of bureaucrats to run them, and we end up only one or two pegs ahead of where we started. I just try to imagine how far we would be had we instituted a minimum income in 1975.

The current political climate is because of perceived government overreach (real or imagined) - where the overreach comes from however depends on your political stripe (the right blames environmental and regulatory issues, the left, the national security circus/military-industrial complex) in the end the people are tired, and the attitude of the country has seemingly shifted (if even only perhaps temporarily), people want a return to normalcy, so I fear for a generation or so more, the chance may be lost.
People still have to maintain Cobol programs, Python 2.x is not going to go anywhere.
It has a gun because pilots don't feel comfortable without a gun. It makes no sense, but fifty years ago the USAF jumped the gun a little bit on air-to-air missiles, and whenever someone points out the gun is a stupid thing to include on a modern strike fighter people bring up this fifty year old problem.

The A version of the F-35 has three seconds worth of gun ammo. It would only be two seconds, but there's some lag between the trigger pull and the gun being fully spun up.
Yes, that is correct. It would only be some "special" combinations of mutations, not just any set.

It's more surprising that it grows so slowly. 50% of integers are have a factor under 3, 73% - under 6, but then it slows down to a trickle. 88% under 100, and just 92% under 1000.

Another interesting fact is that the sum of 1/p for every prime p diverges. It shows that the set of primes is "large" in a certain sense. It would probably be much easier to factorize integers if it wasn't.

You could crudely think of intrinsic spin as the particle spinning about its own axis. This was what physicists originally thought, and why it's called 'spin'. Though we've since learned this is not an accurate view.

Otherwise you can think of spin as an angular momentum that's "just there", and restricted to a few quantized values.

Electrons are spin-1/2 fermions, and their intrinsic-spin angular momentum can only have values of +/- hbar/2. Ie, in whatever direction you measure the electron's spin, you'll observe it either clockwise or counterclockwise around that axis, with value one-half hbar.

Things get interesting in an atom, where the orbiting electron has an orbital angular momentum in addition to its spin angular momentum. And angular momenta interact in peculiar ways. (Link below).

In a simple hydrogen you'll also have interactions between the spin of the single electron with the spin of the proton. In other atoms, say helium, there will be further interactions between the two electrons.

My experience as an Android developer is that samsung phones are garbage.

The ones I tested perform so much worse than same generation Google devices that it feels like a joke.

Samsung also does freaky stuff to AOSP, like making some random fields static, leading to some nice samsung bugs.

As far as the OS features and apps, I don't really expect anything better from them. Think of a feature, Samsung has probably already implemented it. It is probably going to be clunky and badly thought out but it will be there.

Sometimes it leads to interesting things though, like larger phones.

There are other shitty OEMs, but since Samsung has such large sales, it makes them all the more annoying to deal with.
It's enough to know that they taste different, even if you don't notice it yourself. If nobody could tell Pepsi and Coke apart without the label, that would become public knowledge pretty quickly and defeat the branding.

Considering how terribly they behave in TV market (things like not allowing you to push app updated for more than 1 year old TVs!!!) they would just successfuly destroy their own ecosystem instead of being on equal footing with Apple.

Samsung phones are successful due to hardware and DESPITE Samsung doing everything to undermine the experience with their crappy software. Without Google keeping them half sane with Play store limitations, they would already torpedo their whole ecosystem.
ah !

IIRC it was their plan for 2016's Galaxy S.

I live with someone else who pretty much controls the wifi/router (billing account) I pay for it too. Anyway, how do I explain the need to do this? Are there notable adverse effects besides being targeted for certain products. It's hard to argue with this person, whenever I bring up stuff like "Hey man, don't be so quick to connect to open wifi" meh... rah rah rah... and I'm not really great at arguing I'll admit and I can't prove/explain why it's bad to use free public WiFi. I just think of apps that are already logged in, and if they're not using HTTPs. "Packet sniffing" but what is that... hahaha my internet bandwidth says one thing, sad single man, no need to study my data hahaha

edit: also last time I tried to setup/use VPN's they either cost money or I couldn't get it to work. With regard to using Tor it's super laggy which is understandable.

Ahh well I think for now I'll be a "stick my head in the sand" guy since this seems like a lot of trouble to get more than one person to agree/implement it, especially being in my situation. Still sucks though, what the hell, always about the money.
> Battleships were effective in several Pacific surface battles against the Japanese Navy...

Only because neither the US nor the Japanese had carriers in those engagements. The writing was on the wall when the Brits crippled the Italian gunship fleet with a single obsolete aircraft carrier in 1940.
> The Apollo core only has a market because Amiga fans are willing to pay a premium in price, complexity, heat and reduced performance to use something other than ARM or x86.

Heat? Really? A modern x86 with a heatsink won't physically fit in the cases these boards go in. To be viable these cards must run cooler than the alternatives - that's part of the point.

> I wouldn't be surprised if software emulation on a low-power, cheap ARM core could beat it; JIT on a powerful x86 is apparently 5-7x faster.

The current boards are kept cheap - they're nowhere near using the fastest available FPGAs, and the cores keep making massive performance leaps iteration to iteration and have been tested and works on FPGAs more than twice as fast as the ones on the current Vampire boards. The publicly released cards are now beating ASIC PPC cores clocked 7x as fast on some benchmarks. If JIT on a powerful x86 is only 5-7x faster now, odds are they'll be able to reach parity with the UAE JIT soon.

> It's also the exact opposite of open source, being a proprietary core tied to a single-source commercial boards.

Which is entirely irrelevant to the point I was making.
For exactly that reason. The job of a copywriter is to find the 'essential truth' in an image that could as banal as a five year old playing with a washtub.

That essential truth has to be something that a large number of people can 'get' within two seconds on reading it and require no further context or explanation.

And it has to be patently non-obvious or cliched. It's not enough to say 'they grow up fast.' There are also tricks of the trade in the way he has structured the sentence that you're probably not even consciously aware of - such as the punchline of 'capture it' being left to the end of the sentence so you have to read the whole thing to understand it.

Or the simple, evocative 'The joy of being five', which brings to mind all sorts of associations and sets the context for the punchline. 'Imagine what it's like being a child' doesn't have the same impact, does it?

If that sounds simple - try doing the same with a random image from Google Images or something you've seen in the news. You'll find that it's not easy. Copywriting is an art like any other.

I agree that mutability constraints are a major weakness of Go. Interestingly, they did make string immutable and added []byte as a mutable alternative. It's unfortunate that string and []byte are so similar and yet it's impossible to treat a []byte as a string without copying (with the exception of looping over runes). This leads to massive code duplication and/or lack of functionality (byteconv where are you??). Just look at the strings, strconv and bytes packages. This whole area of the language is messy.

The funny thing about Go is that it makes up for its long list of weaknesses with essentially one single strength. You can actually read other people's code without much introduction to the concepts used in that codebase, because the number of possible meanings of any particular expression is much smaller than in other languages.

There is so much talk about Go being for dumb, second rate, corporate developers, because that's what Pike essentially said at one point (perhaps without thinking first).

But in fact, it's not the developers who are dumb. It's the process by which large corporations employ and dispose of developers. They are thrown into some project and expected to "hit the ground running". There's no time for explanation. So what they do is read code to acquaint themselves with the codebase and hopefully become productive before they move on to the next job. And that is the one task where Go really shines. Reading arbitrary pieces of code.

Of course powerful abstraction features eventually make reading code easier as well, but only after having learned the abstractions created for that particular problem and codebase and only if those abstractions are very carefully crafted.

Powerful language features help writers of code long before they help readers. And that, I believe, is essentially the dirty secret that Go exploits.

We all want to be brilliant writers of code when in fact we are often readers poking helplessly at half understood code to make something happen. We even forget our own abstractions once we haven't looked at them for a couple of months or even weeks.

The problem with Go is that it not only acknowledges this state of affairs, it also enshrines it.

“Could you just start at the beginning and tell me everything?”

Nobody talks about death, especially violent death. This quote stands out the most. Do you want to know why people who have been there don't talk? It's the interruptions, the funny looks and having to answer stupid questions. So if you are in the company of someone and they talk about it, it's probably because they trust you. Let them talk it out to the end, interruption free.

When I do talk, it's quietly to mates who were there and those who have been in similar situations. There is no great divide in understanding, no interruptions and plenty of trust.
