In particular, the Turing machine progresses one state at a time, advanced by user clicks (!). It uses AutoShapes and On Click Animations, the number of which depends on the number of states and the number of tape cells.

I'm working on a text editor that automatically formats the code, it will have trouble with significant whitespace if the code is valid both with and without white-space, and even compiles, and even runs with or without, although with a possible hidden bug. I've never worked with a language with significant whitespace so I'm wondering, does it create bugs!? In my experience, bad formatting can cause bugs, or is annoying, eg. syntax errors like "missing bracket" and you got no idea where it's missing, which is why my editor does the indentation automatically and enforce it (you can't change it).
What versions are you running? Jupyter or at least its predecessor IPython notebook have always been rock solid for me, running for days and days.

That's what it does: It takes from many sources (although mainly ZFS).
That's how towns/cities are eventually organized upon reaching a certain scale, yes... but that is not how they are initially formed in the vast majority of cases. There is no central planning which brings a large group of people to an area. The rare attempts to start cities in that fashion in China failed spectacularly.

It's quite obvious which part is the egg and which the chicken.

People are drawn to areas for a variety of reasons. A more localized government is merely a rational reaction to the needs of a large community, a form of organization after the fact (or merely a result of following established standards and practices, rather than rational need).

What is distinct in this story seems to be the absence of government following the initial growth phase. Maybe due to a lack of stable functioning economic systems which incentivize the organization of municipal governments.

But the cities and infrastructure which we live in are very much the result of people who were initially just 'doing it on their own' before formalizing systems of organization. I know it's trendy to dismiss pioneers and frontiersmen who built western society but this seems like praising a step backwards.

As to the necessary CO2, he imagines this would come from power stations and other industrial processes, such as cement-making, that produce the gas in large quantities as exhaust.

There's going to be an interesting gap in the market if Google site search goes away. Algolia handles search elegantly for developers, but doesn't solve many of the problems (indexing, spidering, stemming, rendering, etc.) for the novice, in the way Google Site Search does.

However, my understanding is that Google CSE would basically replace site search and can be configured to operate identically, and isn't slated to disappear.

It can be done, and has been in Rhino, Nashorn, and graal.js. The problem isn't in the language per se but in the libraries provided as standard (mutexes, thread safe hashes/property access etc.) and in the implementation. It's much easier to build a JIT when you don't have to worry about concurrent threads of execution, and converting a single threaded JIT to a robust multithreaded one can take a lot of work.
Yeah, I've done that, by installing bad debs :(

But sometimes, the broken packages error is illusory. Just a few days ago, I was installing some old thing on Debian jessie, and got that it depended on openssl (0.9.8). But apt wasn't going to install that. So I get that jessie has openssl (1.0.1). Hopeless? No. It turns out that both versions can actually coexist.

Folks commenting on the willingness to make breaking changes in 'Scala' should note that this is Dotty, an upcoming very eventual breaking replacement for Scala (think Python 3 or perhaps even Perl 6 but less radical than the latter).

For now, to quote the authors, it's a: 'Research platform for new language concepts and compiler technologies for Scala'

So this is exactly the right place to test this sort of concept.
The benchmark here was probably calling into Intel's MKL, which automatically determines the number of cores to use based on matrix size and CPU type.

How well does it behave when you've multiple VMs running on the same hardware?

Also, is it possible to setup prebuilt environments on your platform?
A 2600 is impossible. Everything must run at the colorburst derived clock.

One could put this in an apple 2 with the clock divided down.

The Apple video hardware runs independent of the CPU.

This is literally the twentieth (!!) time in less than two months that this talk/paper has been submitted to Hacker News. The entire concept of this kind of website (Hacker News / reddit / etc.) really needs some major innovation to deal with this variability of response to content combined with repetition of material over time due to the rotation of readers (which eventually leads people to move to new communities of people with a different seed base of "stuff already seen"; a problem I call "the cohort problem" and have given talks about at times).

(There is also something weird going on where Algolia claims this specific post appeared 19 hours ago while Hacker News itself claims it appeared only 3 hours ago. What's up with that?)

As mentioned in another comment, I will argue the video is a much better way to experience this, due to a combination of the humor of the presenter and being able to watch it actually function. (After seeing it on Hacker News when it was posted six or seven weeks ago, I showed this video to the first day of a class I am teaching this quarter on the nature of programming languages.)

What you say might be true, but the article is written by "the editor in chief of Knowing Neurons and a PhD candidate in neuroscience at the University of California".

Ok, but this advice is not useful to the second-language learner. To become fluent one needs immersion, and learning two similar languages at once is going to slow that down a lot. Not to mention a business trip to Mexico City or Lima, not helpful.

Similar to advising a Chinese person to study English in Edinburgh or the Netherlands, while it's technically possible, hardly optimal.

Most people who say "We need to.." are also users who are very well aware of the problem, but may not be able to solve it themselves, or don't know what the solution looks like, or like a PG essay just inviting action.

But by collectively trying to identify the nitty gritty details of the problem, hopefully that will prepare the spec for engineers and makers to build from. So yes, we need to listen!

There are some people that are saying not allowing Number and Integer to mix is error prone, but I don't really see it. For example, in Ruby if you do a calculation that's large enough, it just becomes a Bignum [1]. The easiest way to handle this would probably be to just allow arbitrarily large numbers, and if it overflows beyond the Number, turn it into a Integer automatically (and vice versa, if it becomes smaller than a Integer, turn it into a Number). In Ruby, the Bignum and Fixnum apis are also the same, with only the internal representation, as well as a few specific differences in how you handle a Bignum, as differences.

I can kind of understand the FAQ section about it, since JavaScript in the browser has to be backwards compatible, but are there really that many applications that depend on Integers acting like they do now at such high values that just transforming them into Numbers won't suffice? The only difference would be for bitwise operations, which are primarily used in Node, and you can explicitly document that change in a major version update, unlike in a browser.

Also, nitpick: Why not just call it BigNumber, or at least BigInteger? Integer as the name of an arbitrarily large number is going to be confusing.

Edit: newer Ruby versions treat Bignum and Fixnum as just Integer (since it was mainly an implementation detail), but my argument is still the same.

>People here seem to always want their social media to be decentralized but I doubt that would happen unless you could convince the standard consumer that it's actually better, and I think that's a hard argument to make to them.

We need a well designed pretty home server that's as easy to set up and use as a smartphone. That's all, really.

The killer app would be ultra fast backup from your phone and laptop over a local network that subsequently drips over the internet (encrypted) to a friend or family member's home server.

Then, just put an app store on top. An ecosystem around that would spring up with all sorts of stuff that would sometimes be worse and sometimes be way, way, better than the centralized web. Any facebook equivalent would probably be way better.

I kind of wish this was what Mozilla was getting in on - it's way more disruptive than building Yet Another Smartphone/Desktop OS.

Most of the software to do all of this is actually already there, it just a matter of putting it together in an easy to use way and putting some lipgloss and snazzy marketing on it (not necessarily an easy task but very doable all the same).

It's worth remembering that smartphones were pretty uncool, nerdy and uninteresting to 'normal' people in 2006.

As a neurobiologist/electrophysiologist I suspected this random crackling is what it would sound like, since that's what activity from my cultured neurons sounds like. Any good neuro/psych student should remember this Nobel prize winning Hubel & Weisel experiment: https://youtu.be/8VdFf3egwfg

I think this approach to synthesizing music from neural activity is completely misguided. But there are a few tweaks that might salvage the project...

1. First, they need to focus on the output of far fewer neurons. I know ya'll are experts in machine learning-type neural nets - the current "CellF" setup would be like sending the weights of an untrained 10k-node neural net to your laptop speakers, and just looping over those weights MCMC style. I think they would be better served to isolate the output a few neurons and translate those activation patterns into prefabricated musical samples. For example if the neuron fires at 60 Hz, the sample on MIDI channel 1 is activated (or something like that).

> I am new to programming (less than 1 year) and the insignificance of this project is obvious to me.

It's a set of helpers, that are useful for the author and useful enough to other people that (1) it was upvoted on HN and (2) it has 643 stars on github (so it appears to be fairly popular).

> my understanding is that a user friendly wrapper for such a ubiquitous programming tech with already widespread GUIs and pluins is comparable to reinventing a wheel

Not really. There are many reasons why these functions are not in core git, however for many people these are common tasks and doing it "manually" with git is a chore.

Just like carpenters craft their own jigs and tools all the time, programmers write scripts to automatic repetitive tasks all the time.

> My best guess is this was a personal project that solved some person(s) problems, and for some reason related to networking or self-promotion, it got the decoration of a full release treatment. What else could cause this?

Most Open Source projects start as personal projects that solved some people's problems, and as others found out that it's useful to them they grow in popularity and become "famous" projects.

This one also took the time to make a site, with an introduction, FAQ, etc, while most other projects only have a github page and a small README.

If this project doesn't seem useful to you, don't spend much time trying to figure out what it is. The best is to be goal driven, i.e. you have a project you want to get through (either for work, school or personal project) and you seek projects that might help you doing that.

> Should I be contributing to the heap of projects like these to further my own career?

Don't create projects for the sake of your career, it will only lead to pointless projects boring for you and everyone else. Build what you need to build, what you want to build, and if you think it might be useful for just one other person feel free to post it online. It's not like the size of the Internet is limited and your project will prevent others from existing.

> That's so bullshit that France (they might know a thing or two about good food) has discussed passing laws to require restaurants to denote which food on their menu is heated up in a microwave.

Doesn't that proof my point? How do you think that food was cooked? With real tools, that's how. Not in a microwave. You can't cook food in a microwave.

But yes, I should clarify that I've meant 'store bought oven-ready food'. It's awful and probably the main cause for the stigma.

And yeah I agree that the microwave is just another tool in the kitchen and awesome for some things, but you can't cook most meals with it, just prepare parts of it quickly.
I mean, sure, you can have that view. But again, what would you say should happen for 23n + 0.5? And for 9007199254740992n + 0.5? If you don't throw an error, you have to do something, and in those situations returning anything would be incorrect.

You could return 23.5 in the former case, but then you'd no longer have an Integer. You could throw an error in the latter case, but that'd be a lot slower for JIT tracing compilers to execute than simply verifying that the types are the same.

>But when their friends start dying, they'll see them all start saying the same sorts of things, and none of them are, "I wish I'd spent more time working."

The issue here is we do not know the true spectrum of outcomes with and without working. I assume many people who say "I wish i worked less" on their deathbeds presume that all the trappings of their work would come with.

I would trust it more if people paired what they'd give up with what they want to gain. ie if they said "Putting my daughter through college wasnt worth it, I wish i worked less". Or (more realistically) "I wish I spent less money on luxury, so I would have had more time with people".

Also a note of caution, any time you're wasting time thats marginal time you will be begging for on your deathbed. "I wish I had one more day with my wife (or kids)" -- today could be that day, instead of wasting it, use it up fully.
