I'll give you it's overly verbose even though quite a bit of it was justifiable. The theory of Ada's designers was that people read software more than write it. So, the syntax should be designed to facilitate catching errors in maintenance mode, during extensions, or during integrations. It's done phenomenal at that per industrial, case studies despite having been invented in the 80's when lots of language decisions were still being debated.

EDIT: I keep thinking a different language that acts as a front end w/ a better syntax might be a good idea. It outputs Ada that integrates with the tooling ecosystem. Also, a seemless FFI for C libraries like Julia's.

Gene Regulatory Network resembles (stochastic) recurrent neural network and is sometimes modeled as such. Each cell has it's own GRN and then there is signaling between the cells.

Its understandably very hard problem to nudge network states back to the normal or to kill itself once it's gone haywire and causes other networks go haywire too. The "error state" cells are changing and those who survive the last nudge continue to reproduce.

If I understand Kozubek's argument correctly, cancer is ecologic, not systemic because of this evolution of cancer cell populations. If the cancer is ecologic problem, solving cancer means that it's not enough to figure out cell's state and fix it. You must figure out how the cancer cell ecology works and find a way to drive it into extinction without survivals. Just setting more mousetraps is not working solution if the mouse population is evolving hour by hour and branching.

G'day Nick!

Java is getting an AOT compiler in July (Graal, http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/295) that will let you AOT compile parts, or all, of your program, including the JVM modules themselves. This would seem to leave the GC as the main source of side channel vulnerabilities. The GC itself will become more pluggable as well, with a pure Java implementation. What requirements would you put on a GC for side channel safety? (Ignoring the obvious just allocate a large heap and never GC anything, eventually just restarting the process when it runs out of heap). What if we had a fully concurrent, pauseless GC (e.g. Azul), would that change things?

What other issues would remain in your opinion?
I think there are still lots of fresh, original movies being made, but they tend to get a bit drowned out by the marketing for all those comic book movies, bad reboots, and whatever Fast/Furious movie is about to come out, so it is easy to think that those are the only things being made.

I'm less bothered by the fact that they are still churning out marvel movies at the same rate than I am at how difficult it is to avoid them.

The description of your strategy (which sounds identical to momentum trading) is a quintessential very-high-risk-picking-up-pennies-in-front-of-the-steamroller approach.
NLP is a pretty broad area. Do you want something like a chatbot? Do you want to extract facts from the web? Do you want to understand reviews to see what specifically liked or disliked? Do you want to group documents based on an unknown set of topics? How much data can you get a hold of? Is it labeled?

IMO the field is quite diverse, so the best you can do is make yourself aware of the various problems people have managed to have some success on and roughly how, so that when you encounter that problem you know what it is called and can dig into the literature.

Alternatively if your goal is to build products, I would suggest trying out the various NLP APIs that exist that may be able to take care of the entire problem for you. Not everything has an API, and they don't all make sense to use when the off the shelf components are available, but higher level things like LUIS or API.ai may be useful for not really having to think about the underpinnings too much.

I'll be honest, you sound like a bit of an extremist. I've never heard anyone call for "white genocide", in fact the only time I've seen the term used is by neo-nazis; it's kind of a shibboleth.

It's hard for me to justify responding rather than just reporting/downvoting and moving on, and that's probably what others are doing, too. So, stick away from hyperbole, use your main account, and maybe in the worst case, accept that your attempts at spin are losing in the marketplace of ideas. There's probably a reason that a lot of people dislike what you have to say, and it isn't necessarily ignorance or identity politics or a preference for white genocide or any of the other alt-right nonsense.

So you're clearly talking about any such tool. If now you want to just talk about NanoCore, then you're moving the goalpost, but it's still not going to work:

> > > > I looked at a youtube video of NanoCore [1] and it's immediately obvious that all of the above is bullshit.

...because your source is a youtube clip, and not the admission of any personal or experiential knowledge of the tool, to wit you list a number of features outlined in the youtube clip as specific evidence that the software was designed for illegal purposes only, to which I argue convincingly that those features are not evidence, because I have used those features in large companies.

Did you try coding in it for more than a week? I have found that using a properly indenting editor (Emacs, drracket) the parents just fade away.

And then you discover paredit and you start wishing every other language would let you treat your source code like that.
I looked into Ada last year. Getting a toolchain working sanely on a Mac seemed quite a lot of work; it's not in Homebrew, the MacPorts version has some weird bootstrap process, and the various random versions available for download had a murky mix of license and implementation issues that i don't remember in detail.

So i read documentation instead. Ada mostly seems like a pretty sensible language. Its story on memory safety, though, seems to be "don't use dynamically allocated memory", or at least, if you do, you're on your own. It doesn't have anything like Rust's safety guarantees, or those that fall out of having a garbage collector.

If it was 2007, and Ada was a bit more easily available, I'd be agitating for it. But i think its shot at the open source big time has passed.
If you're building life support software or manned lunar probes, maybe you want him on your team.

If you're a startup trying to find product-market fit before you run out of funding, better to ship a few bugs every week (in features that have an 80% chance of not existing or being rewritten anyway within a few years) than nothing at all for months.

The author's last word:

we need to consider that the system of cancer goes far beyond the biochemistry of cancer cells. Cancer relates to our fundamental constitution as multicellular organisms, our limited lifespan, the epidemiology of the aging population, socioeconomics and the future of society. Those who believe that the problem of cancer can be solved by killing or reprogramming cancer cells need to take a step back from the molecular technicalities and take a look at the bigger picture.
In principle it shouldn't matter that cancer is not well defined, if health is well defined. "Just" visit every single cell and repair its gene sequence to your body's consensus sequence, and similarly for the epigenetic state to the extent necessary -- the latter requires more knowledge to do correctly, but otoh seems less crucial.

This is of course ridiculously ambitious compared to the current state of the art, but I think it's a reasonable start to countering the claim that a general cure for cancer is impossible in principle.
I don't think this is in any way peculiar to programmers. I am not a programmer. I used to spend a lot of time on gifted discussion lists and a phrase I used a lot back then was something like "I don't know what I think until I run it through my mouth."
FLAVOR: Ubuntu Server

HEADLINE: vmbuilder defaults

DESCRIPTION: Several places where the default behavior of vmbuilder could possibly be improved, relative to what seems to happen on 14.04 / 16.04:

I've found that I always end up wanting --addpkg acpid when running vmbuilder so that the host can send the guest a request to shut down cleanly; maybe include this package by default unless it is somehow explicitly deselected?

I have developed a habit of always using --addpkg linux-image-virtual because at one point I ran into problems when not using it; if it is still needed, it should probably be included by default.

I've ended up with VMs in a directory where I didn't intend to have them when not specifying the -d flag; perhaps it would be better if vmbuilder would refuse to run without a -d flag explicitly specifying the directory. (Trying to identify all of the options one needs the first time running vmbuilder can be overwhelming, leading to leaving some options out and then ending up with a suboptimal VM, and sometimes one doesn't want to start over and rebuild the VM with the correct options.)

It might also be desirable to make the --timezone option mandatory; I think the default behavior is to put the guest in GMT rather than having it inherit the host's timezone, which can be surprising, especially if the host's timezone had initially been autodetected by the installer.
You'll also need earnings and balance sheet information, which this doesn’t have. It's available, but if you're going to grub that out,...
