Specially to point 4, google pushed their wavenet paper a couple months ago. I wouldn't be surprised if some, if not all of these current break throughs are built on that foundation. This sort of application was the first thing that came to my mind after reading the paper.

I wonder how hard it'd be to do a Linux kernel rewrite in Rust or D, but in a way where you could do it bit-by-bit, keeping the rest of the kernel as-is in C until you get to it. This would be especially useful for the drivers since that's the bulk of the code.

Elm (http://elm-lang.org/) is a particularly elegant language for front-end web development that compiles to JavaScript, but includes things like immutability and strong, static typing right out of the box.

Other languages like C, C++, and Rust can also run on the Web thanks to WebAssembly, a new compiler target for the web that's on by default in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari Technical Preview, and available behind a flag in Edge: http://caniuse.com/#feat=wasm However, interaction between the DOM and WebAssembly is still pretty rough, so it's currently best at numeric / computationasl tasks, not replacing JavaScript entirely.
I think you miss the point. The article is not saying every war is about mis-information; it is saying every war is the inevitable culmination of a techno-social shift that begin long before the war itself.

So different wars have resulted from different shifts. In this view, WW1 resulted from advances in gun and related technologies; WW2 from further advances in war technology and the collapse of the old order wrought by WW1, and WW3 will result (and indeed has began) from the loss of meaning and mis-information resulting from the misuse of current information technology.
Decent number of golf courses got built over landfills. Don't have to be disgusting when we are done filling.
This is hilarious. I can't believe anyone looks at Javascript and thinks "aha, a better intro programming language". I agree Java has problems, but seriously?
No one would pay for that data
And at that point what are they going to do? Say no?

Okay, then they'll get someone else to take your work and weaponize it. The bulk of the work would have already been done by then, which is synthesizing the chemical and showing its effects on people.
But surely a university environment is the best place to experiment and learn what works and what doesn't.

I mean, the majority of these students will have to write JavaScript sooner or later. Better they learn it in a controlled environment.
Any app can do that without violating Apple's rules. They can tell whenever a user signs in to the app on a fresh install and the device model/software version is easily accessible.

I googled for Rust glob match and ended up at the glob crate. This is my Rust program:

extern crate glob;
extern crate time;
use glob::glob;
use time::PreciseTime;

fn main() {
std::env::set_current_dir("/tmp/glob").expect("cd");

for i in 0..100 {
let pattern = "a*".repeat(i)+"b";
let t = PreciseTime::now();
let mul = 100;
for j in 0..mul {
for entry in glob(&pattern).expect("Failed to read glob pattern") {
match entry {
Ok(path) => println!("{:?}", path.display()),
Err(e) => println!("{:?}", e),
}
}
}
let t1 = PreciseTime::now();
println!("{:?} {:?}", i, (t.to(t1).num_nanoseconds().expect("ok") as f64)/1e9/(mul as f64))
}
}

Honestly I'm not too worried about Rust's performance here: it's on the right side of the fence.
Thank you for the correction on hispanics and life expectancy, but it doesn't change the racist nature of the system just because one of the groups that would benefit the most might happen to be a minority.
I know this is super late, but I will respond as I just saw it.

I have been an educator for over a decade, and lesson plans are very low on the list of what makes someone a good or great teacher/educator.

Teaching successfully is a lot of things, but for me it is a presentation. Making an interesting presentation and guiding students through a course correctly is the true skill.

Lesson plans are mostly about inserting industry language and cool sounding bullet points into pdfs so that your administrator will be impressed. They are really useful to inexperienced teachers, but are largely an after thought for many great experienced teachers. When you open source them to people in your district, it would be easy for other teachers to get ideas from them and allow them to actually be useful for even the most experienced teachers.

You clearly didn't understand my comment, so please enlighten me on what your theory of teaching and education is and the role that lesson plans play in all of it.

Your question, which was probably rhetorical, about Wordpress (note the uncapitalized p) doesn't make any sense. If you want an honest debate, rephrase it.
Interesting. Ive run into this issue before. How do you get around it? I am not a parent, old person, hiker or knitter (a generalization but you know what I mean). Thus how can I solve their problems and solve my own problems at the same time?

Basically is there a way around this inconvenient truth?

By your reasoning you can excuse away any behavior. Which of course plenty of scientists and other horrible people tried to do. And then there was the collective amnesia epidemic of 1945.
LSD should never separate in solution. It should always stay evenly distributed, and liquid is an ideal long term storage form anyway.

For testing, the only effective technique is GC/MS. But there is only one lab [REDACTED] knows of, which is the Spanish lab Energy Control. Unfortunately they are not always competent and often make routine errors in analysis.

At the time Google started promoting Android OS, Google was well known to use primarily Python internally. So I was very shocked and discouraged by their choice of Java. I assume it was to reach the widest developer audience at the time. Maybe a case can be made for using Java otherwise, but Java is my least favorite language due to it's excessive verbosity and other pointlessly fussy restrictions.
Because it would reduce demand for them if they were to try to get them onto the Switch with a much higher markup.
I get thrown that a lot, but unfortunately create-react-app is not the solution. It simply summarizes all the complexities in one place, it doesn't abstract those out.

My motivation was to address common misconceptions around React ecosystem. I'm genuinely happy people bring them up (since that's how we learn about the issues).

To me, reading posts filled with frustration serves as a motivation to improve things. I didn't reply to "fight with fire": I see these kinds of posts every week or two. But I replied this time because I think it was also important to separate real issues from the factual inaccuracies (that get a life of their own once somebody writes an article).

Some bitterness did come through, and I removed it. But I'm not lying when I tell you I'm happy people are sharing their concerns with React. It's all for the best. :-)
I think of a blender. Eventually something is going to be found that breaks up pesky combos.

Long molecule chains in plastics seem like they would be easy. I guess it takes the right blender to chop it up!

I also imagine a small caterpillar-sized blender involved. Now I need a smoothie.
Significant whitespace won't be much of a problem for a beginner that doesn't have a precocieved notion about whitespace not being significant. After all, in humanwrittenspeechwhi tespa cematters, doesn't it? So the concept shouldn't be too hard to grasp.

As for magics, don't see why it would be an issue either. For a beginner, it's a magic incantation just like any other, for more advanced student, it's a callback/override just like any other. You can argue that this system has its disadvantages, but if you understand enough to argue about such matters, your education as a beginner is a definite success.

2/3 gap is an issue, yes. Fortunately, one can just teach python3 and leave python2 for advanced studies. It's not like students would be deploying in industrial production right after the class...
"Loneliness is a communication, information and anxiety problem. The first two, communication and information, are problems technology can easily help solve. Helping people getting over their anxieties is way harder of course, but technology used properly can help there too."

I find it utterly fascinating that this summer is the 50 yr anniversary of the "Summer of Love" where the problems of loneliness of young boomers was solved by contraceptives, weed, and music, and now that generation is in total control culturally and politically, the solution to the problem half a century later is obviously a really nice new fitbit.

(edited to add, and both solutions were the most "California" solutions imaginable in that era)
The Federal Government's AI Personal Assistant Pilot
I've been volunteering since 2013 for a non-profit that teaches high school students in underserved areas how to code [0]. Here's what I've gotten out of it:

* I'm having an impact: there are people pursuing CS in university because of me. I (along with my coteachers) managed to make programming fun and rewarding for them so much that they saw it as a future. That feels good. Makes me feel like I'm making a difference.

* I'm a better communicator: distilling somewhat complex concepts into engaging lessons has made me a better talker. I'm more precise and efficient with my language - oral and written.

* I get to network: the non-profit I volunteer for is a magnet for all the kind of people I want to hang out. The volunteers that I get to serve with are talented developers & designers who care about the world around them. They work at awesome places and solve interesting problems. Most of all, they're just generally nice people.

* I'm a better programmer: teaching forces you to know your stuff. Even though I teach the basics of HTML, CSS, & JS, that foundation is a lot stronger for me.

And by your reasoning, you should get locked away the second your research can get weaponized.

Shockingly, it's not a black and white world with many layers of gray in between, which is what I was trying to show. That a lot of research can get twisted for evil.

In your earlier post, you claimed there was "no upside". That's patently false, since these started with the ideal of getting rid of pests more efficiently. Yes, there's a point where it turns from this generic research to weaponizing, but that might not be immediately obvious at the time, nor what the repercussions might be 50 years later.
he did :P
That certainly would be a benefit, but that changes it from a traditional pension to a retirement savings/investing account. Traditional pensions are typically not inheritable (except, potentially, by a spouse) and, also typically, offer guarantees on payout. You will get $3000/month. A retirement savings/investment account can make no such guarantees.

That doesn't solve the ORM problem at all. Using a non relational database in no way solves the relational object impedance mismatch; it's frankly unrelated.
I don't think they are equal comparisons because Amazon is offering a marketplace where your service can be discovered...theoretically they are bringing you more customers. Stripe and Braintree only offer payment processing.
The squat is a complex movent and takes years to master. Anyone telling you different is selling you a load of bull. I have been weightlifting for years with an emphasis on the big four (big 3 + overhead press) and functional, strong man style movements.

I am at the high end of intermediate/low end of advanced range with regards to how much I lift @ 180lbs. I'm still making imrpovements to my texhjique all of the time.

One issue with _some_ CrossFit outfits is that they throw you into these movements from day 1 with non trivial weight. Your CANS gets no time to develop the coordination needed and you can get discouraged or, worst case, hurt yourself.

Everyone can squat. Being a tall guy you will do it differently than e.g. a 5'5" powerlifter. You just need time and practice.
Yeah, but what's the real chance per encounter?

There's 600-700 thousand sworn officers in the US. Assume they interact with 1 person per day each (they aren't on duty everyday, they probably interact with more people than that on duty days). So it's easily in the ballpark of 200 million encounters each year. There's less than 200 officers killed in the line of duty each year.

You are sort of saying that the police are aggressive because they don't want to die. I'm saying that (given the statistics for the US) they shouldn't have much leeway to let that feeling influence their actions.
I would bet Singapore as one of the forefront runners for EVs to be tested and accepted amongst the masses. The political structure allows for a greater deal of control to test and deploy such a machine.

EVs are expected to be launched mid 2017 and deployed in every Housing & Development Board (HDB) town by 2020.

Dash might be a better example. The account generating fraudulent reviews was contacted before apps were removed from the store. It's entirely possible that Apple screwed up by not communicating with the account used to publish Dash, but that's not what I'm arguing here -- I'm saying that even in clear cases of fraud, Apple usually talks to the developer first.

b) start creating a solution to the environmental problem you created
How do you get that private key on each of your devices, this is a real issue for a lot of less technical users.
Exactly. One of the personal existential dilemmas I face regularly is reconciling the importance of the human condition with its insignificance.

I've come to decide that all the infinity of the Universe may just as well not exist if there were no sentient beings to experience it.

Even if I were immortal, and had a spaceship that could take me anywhere instantly, I would still ultimately get attached to the stories and struggles of individual beings, no matter how localized and of infinitesimal consequence they may be.

I can imagine that there must be unimaginable beauty out there; endless fields of exotic crystals, planetoids drifting through sparkling nebulas, rogue planets far away from the light of any star, islands floating in the multicolored clouds of a gas giant – even our own planet has many surreal places most people aren't even aware of, like [0] – but even such beauty would become depressing if there is no other being to share it with.

I know that this kind of thinking is a human thing; a member of a hive-mind species may probably never feel that way. An species with no biological mating, or an species where all members are identical clones, may have no concept of love or beauty.

But again, these differences between species, races, and individuals is what makes everything interesting.

OP, what version(s) of the BSD libc did you test? What OS, which version of the OS.

macOS only? NetBSD? FreeBSD? OpenBSD?

If you tested on FreeBSD, please file a bug at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Base...

I'm not a project member but I'm a user of the system so it's in my interest that issues like this are resolved.

Please let me know whether or not you file a bug so that if you do I don't duplicate bug reports and if you don't I can do some benchmarking myself.

>>I'm not sure I agree with this. There is a massive benefit to having not just your entire engineering org thinking in an object oriented fashion, but also your entire product org. Designers and PMs having a deep understanding of the data model is extremely useful, and to the extent that everyone is already speaking in OO terms (ie: your records are already going to be structured in this fashion), an ORM makes a ton of sense.

Not only does it give you abstracted and simplified syntax for common access patterns, it gives you a shim to add in all kinds of stuff like caching, analytics etc., that would be extremely difficult without an ORM.<<

Whether you use an ORM or not, your data layer can (and generally should) be designed to present a logical data model that may differ from your physical model. While some ORMs offer easy hooks for the addition of caching and analytics, the same is true for a well-designed data layer. I've also seen naive ORM implementations of those kinds of features cause more trouble than they were worth.

>>Of course there are pitfalls, mostly poorly constructed queries that don't perform well, but any ORM will let you write raw SQL when you need to.<<

While this is technically true, many ORMs force you into database access patterns such a multiple synchronous roundtrips to the database that do not perform well and cannot be resolved simply by dropping to raw SQL. A highly performant data layer is going to interact with the database in ways that ORMs generally cannot.
NOt really. My mom worked in a warehouse for years and enjoyed it. It's hard labour but it was a good job and she liked it.

It was also a union job with decent pay/benefits and seemingly less of a grind than the Amazon FCs.

PageRank doesn't work. With both scientific publications and web sites, those wanting to game the system will simply create lots of page/publications that link a lot to each other. That's doable because it is very cheap to produce a zillion web sites/journals and populate them with 'content'/'scientific papers'.

In the end, somebody has to make a judgment call as to what a link is worth.

My first thought is are they adding enough value to take a 30% cut off a digital subscription service?

But then I flipped the question to whether as a consumer, I would be more likely to be a digital subscription with a "Subscribe with Amazon" button.

Hell yes!

I just logged into my Economist account to try and cancel my subscription and failed to find any way to do that. Emailed support, they said "we would be happy to help you, call us during business hours...".

I would love all my subscriptions to be managed by Amazon under a single interface.

I would also be more likely to "try out a subscription" knowing I could easily get out of it without dancing through hoops.
Reagent tests tests for presence, not purity. They're just a way of ruling out if you for sure don't have the compound you're looking for. However, you will never get any data on purity, and with multiple substances on a tab you will be hard pressed to identify the substances.

A little knowledge goes a long way, however. Tabs can only fit hundreds of micrograms to around a milligram (maybe a few mg's) on a standard sized blotter tab. This narrows down the # of potential active compounds massively. Also, LSD is active when swallowed immediately but nbomes aren't. So for a knowledgeable user it's not hard to avoid nbomes, but you will never be able to find out how much LSD is actually on your tab.
You already know the answer; eat good food, eat more of it, add resistance training to build muscle. You need to eat at a caloric surplus, at least ~250 calories / day. It's a simple concept, but doing it takes hard work and dedication.
The context you are missing is that the creator of D3 (the best JavaScript based data visualisation tool), Mike Bostock, announced at a conference a new tool called d3-express, which a friend attending the conference describes as something like ipython notebooks for d3/js data visualisations.

Handling non-traditional name in the US
I come from an Asian country where the concept of names is different from the US. Our passport only has a full name field, as our culture/legal system does not distinguish first/last name so much.
So on my passport the full name field is something like, "Smith Jon Doe", where in the context of my origin country, Smith is last name, Jon is a middle name, and Doe is a first name, but clearly there's no legal definition which is which.
On my US immigration documents, I've always had "Jon Doe" as first name, and "Smith" as last name. The rationale at the time was: to put exactly what my passport says, it's better to include all the words that leave out the middle name Jon.
And I've done the same for everything else like banks, credit cards, utilities.

Over years, despite putting down my first name exactly as "Jon Doe", each institution/company has treated the first name in its own way, including "Jondoe", "Jon-doe" and "Jon D". Even the DMV got its own variation. When I call to fix it, most replies are "our system cannot handle the space", or "your name cannot have a space".

My question is:

-what version should I stick to (and change everything else to, in order to be consistent)?

-My DMV license says "Jondoe". Is that a safe bet?

-Would having different name variations come to bite me in the future?
