I used to enjoy getting calls from Windows Support. My favorite was when their rep told me to open the Event Viewer and I asked, "What's the hostname? We have several computers at home and it sounds like it's important I get to the right one right away."

The rep didn't know what a hostname was, so I explained that it's your computer name and it normally shows up in the error logs that every PC automatically uploads to the Windows Support team. She didn't see any hostnames, and I told her there was a new kind of malware attacking support centers and deleting hostnames from their logs to prevent people from getting proper support. And her computer was probably infected!

I offered to help with some troubleshooting steps and mentioned that I had a diagnostic program she could download to inspect and repair her PC.

She sounded just about ready to go for it, but then her supervisor came on the line. I explained to both of them again about this new malware and how we could repair it. And then they hung up on me! How ungrateful...
I don't see how you figure. Macs and various consoles are also x86. It doesn't seem like they are looking at a lot of danger except in the mobile space.

This is even worse if travelling from countries like Argentina. Here everybody knows they people who handle checked luggage will steal anything of values. It's even considered risky to leave nice-looking shoes in there. Last time my dad travelled they took his shoes and a pack of chocolates from it.

I'm sure other not-so-developed countries have it quite similar (eg: several in Latinamerica and probably Africa).

Checking in a laptop? Anybody would laugh in your face for suggesting it. Not sure how we're gonna start handling travelling to the US.
>Yes, MRI might be required right now but they can also be required in a few days, or weeks. Some cases you can wait and see if it is needed at all. All of the people could shop around and go to the 1k place.

In what manner do you expect this to be done? You're talking about buying a machine that is upwards of 800K, not including facilities and staff. Then, you're marketing it to a reduced price. Thats your competition strategy, to do it cheaper. Sure, it may create competition and the hospital will reduce their prices. Then you're out of an investment pretty quickly, and as such its not a sustainable business model.

Thats not to mention that healthcare again, is a service. Its created to be all-encompassing, and even if an MRI is more expensive in-hospital, your doctor can still highly suggest you do that, and you'll do it. Because you don't know any better, and you probably really don't.

>You will want a good doctor that will actually fix your knee. But you would not want to pay 2x the going rate from a slightly better doctor.

How do you know the quality of the doctor? You don't. You know what the hospital looks like, and how the doctor acts. You have no idea about what they're doing is correct or really what you need. So, yes, actually, people will pay 2x for a better doctor or hospital, because the easy reasoning is 'they'll have to do it once'. The other hospitals may have to do it multiple times, and do unnecessary things because they're just not as experienced, not as funded. It doesn't matter if its true or not, because you don't have access to that information, and neither are individuals who usually think they're knowledged know the complexities of what they're talking about.

>Yes there is guaranteed market for food but that does mean that any given supplier will get that market.

Again, simplifications that don't add up to healthcare. You, your person, is not food. Its not a car. Its not a house. Everything else is replacable. You are not. This is important, because that is the incentive and expectations of the service. Which, again, this is a service, not a product.

>It seems like you are assuming a monopoly or something.

Yes. Healthcare is very monopalistic. It doesn't have to be one monopoly to be a guaranteed market, because this spans the entire U.S. Its like saying Telecoms aren't a monopoly. Sure, not strictly speaking, but effectively you don't get an option. Healthcare is significantly more so, because as I said, its care, you physically need it to survive in many cases. Therefore, it does not matter if the market as a whole, due to the few that have control, increases prices for worse service. You will bend to it, because you have to. That is a guaranteed market.

> WRT Itanium and all VLIW processors for that mater, you have to compile for the microarchitecture of the processor to fully take advantage of it

True of course, but Itanium did think of this and had an "abstracted" VLIW where you worked with generic instruction bundles which the hardware was then more free to pull apart in different ways underneath. I do wonder, if we'd all taken a different path, if we'd be in more of a JIT-compiled type world. who knows?

All my previous comments explain that the heart attack example does meant much for how we should handle routine care.

A low flat rate for that is the same for an ear infection and 12k MRI leads to misuse. Price is a signal to suppliers and consumers. High prices causes consumers to look for alternatives. It also drivers more suppliers to the market. Flat copay does none of this

I just recalled the overarching situation - there is no 'hybrid approach' there is your nations mandatory standards and your regions Organic standards. There are no other accessible alternatives which we can practically select between as consumers of agriculture. You can support organic standards and production, or focus on research critical of it.

That research I referenced covered bythe phys.org article is a substantial metareview published last year. You responded with a small study published in 2012 and a list of links too diverse to use. your argument is very general "hybrid would be best" -- Recognise the wood amongst the trees.

What's the problem with this?
Author here.

As I mentioned in other posts, I don't believe redux-saga is the be-all-end-all solution to every problem in client-side Javascript. It's a good solution for codebases which need to coordinate among several different asynchronous processes.

And for what it's worth, I wanted to err on the side of verbosity. I find that a lot of blog posts kinda elide over too much, and so I was actively trying to break down my thought process into very discrete steps. At the end of the day, I think you'll find that the final product involves less than 300 lines of code. If that.

On a different tack, MobX is an excellent library, and we've actually used it to great effect at Formidable! Ken Wheeler has a great post about the topic. The point of this article, though, is simply to share something that worked well for us on a complex project, where replacing Redux with MobX wouldn't have been that helpful.

Along those lines, I ask you in complete honesty: what would you like to see out of a "Javascript Power Tools: MobX" article? I'd love to dig into it a little bit, find out what makes it tick, and share that with folks. :)

Itanium failed because writing compilers which make VLIW efficient is probably not surmountable for human minds. Donald Knuth himself said that compilers which would make it perform even sufficiently were nearly impossible to write.

With it being borderline impossible to write good VLIW compilers, most of the instruction word was full of NOPs, which meant terrible code density, which meant I$ full of NOPs. A recipe for hot, slow computers which are depressing to program for.
> Because of that, async behavior and side effects are handled via middleware.

It shouldn't be though. The middleware pattern makes a lot of sense for transforming data (communication between mismatched APIs etc), or using it in some way before passing it on (logging, analytics etc). IMO it's totally wrong for this use case though.

All redux-thunk is doing is taking some "action", clobbering it, pretending it doesn't exist, and running some arbitrary function that it's passed.

dispatch(higherOrderFunctionThatCreatesAsyncFunction())

is identical to

asyncFunction()

What people are looking for is some way to get the data store dependencies into asyncFunction in a testable way. This can easily be done without middleware.
I have been attempting this for sometime with:

http://hyperlinkserver.com/webdesigning/tomorrow/

I have had multiple developers quit and don't have the $80k budget quoted by Gigster.

Concept: in the same way you might register a username/handle on ig/twitter a user registers a new domain (or "connects" a domain the user already owns).

Using Enom API we also offer "branded" email and private registration, and in the background the name records are automatically pointed to their "tomorrowbook page". By logging into tomorrowbook the user can use the "text tool" to add posts to their website, basic website analytics, and ability to customize their follow/like buttons...also access the tomorrowbook email client for their branded email, not unlike a social messaging tool only open bc it works on email protocol.

Obviously the explanation above changes just a little for users who own domains with 3rd party registrars and/or using 3rd party hosting.

How can HN help? If there are any developers who can get the Enom API out of sandbox and fully functional where my other developers have quit.

Would Android be a success if it hadn't been for Google's ability to push it very powerfully onto the market?

I'm not knocking Mr. Rubin and I'm not saying I could have done anything anywhere near as successful myself. I couldn't have. He's clearly more talented and motivated than I am.

But, I also wonder:

Is Android anything but the number one, huge outlier in his business life? Isn't it plainly evident, even now, that Android is the biggest business success Mr. Rubin will ever accomplish?

If Mr. Rubin is truly a powerful, free-thinking force for life-enhancing technological innovation, uh, why did he go away for multiple years and ... come back with ... another phone?

Again, I'm not saying I'm as good as he is. Very far from it. But, isn't way more skepticism in order?

There are two schools of thought in meditation that kinda apply to this. Some people focus on their breath or a mantra or hum and try to keep thoughts from getting in. If a though appears, just label it and let it pass.

Others do what you're describing, let the thoughts come but see them as just passing clouds in the sky. Eventually you distance yourself from that stream of consciousness and can focus just on your breath.

The two are not mutually exclusive either.
I think of a Lambda like you are creating a quick on the spot function/method to do something for you or for everything you have.
Hansen wants to increase the price of carbon across the board. One of the possible main issues is that a country like China is still not classified as a developed country and isn't bound to Article 9, a significant component of the Paris agreements.
Lambdas are sorta just functions that you write inline and use as needed (at least in C++ land)

Mill isn't too crazy from what I've seen, they seem acutely aware of the pitfalls of poor cache utilization and other things which were the bane of VLIW (outside of DSP). The future holds the truth on just how much that awareness translates into performance, but at least they're thinking a bit. The thing which concerns me about the Mill is the software-managed binary incompatibility between every model. They say this is manageable but I have some doubts about it, especially about how it plays with JITs.

They say that JITs will have to link to their proprietary system library in order to work, which seems like it could be devastating for uptake.
Look at the first words of my first comment, I'm not being inconsistent, I'm arguing against where nearly all revenue in the United States is collected by the federal government. It's obviously not the case, state and local taxes account for a great deal of government revenue.
The book elaborates on why the world leads to an emptiness. And it's the Bible, not just some mopey livejournal blog, so it's comforting that it's not just me struggling with human existence. It's not that I'm blind or cynical or weak. The world just doesn't meet what I expect from a fair reality.

We expect a world that is fair. One that leads to lasting flourishing and life. I heard a smart theologian describe Ecclesiastes as a book that paints Christ with negative space. By exhaustively describing why the world doesn't fulfill us, we understand what we hunger for, and in the context of the rest of the Bible, we can see how God and Christ are ultimately satisfying in a way that people and the world aren't.
I talk to myself all the time, especially when hiking or out for a walk. This can get embarrassing when you run into another person around a turn. If you are with your friend and talking, well you're just talking to your friend. When it's just you .. that must be a crazy person (unless you've got a flashing bluetooth headset or a phone in your hand I guess).

I usually get real silent and then slowly pick back up as I walk away; trying to whisper to myself and keep my voice low in case someone else is on the trail.

I don't think I've ever encountered someone else doing this .. except sometimes for that crazy homeless person on the street .. and they don't exactly stop when people walk by them.

I've started to think I'm probably one of the few people who do this, but it's so helpful to hear my thoughts to put things into order and organize them that it's not something I really want to stop doing.

Yeah, this makes sense. I talk to myself a decent amount. But not about anything remotely constructive.

I'm a talkative person by nature and spend a lot of time alone, so I'm guessing it's more loneliness than anything; although I'm certainly not depressed. It's like an itch and suddenly, without realizing it, I'm having full blown conversations with myself. I've always wondered how many of us there were out there.
Electricity is run long distances with high voltage and transformers, not super thick copper wires.
It's not the market that creates that problem for wind and solar--it's physics. Excess electricity supply has to closely match demand or bad things happen to the grid, market or no market.
I think it's good on balance, but am also scared about the dangers ahead, and around us.

I'm sure when the tractor was invented, some bright minds realized this was going to be the end of small farms, and that some day we'd be eating manufactured food product out of a tube, having long forgotten the art of cultivating a rich breadbasket for your family.

They would've been right, of course, we've lost our health and our knowledge of the earth, somewhat catastrophically.

Which isn't to say we should've skipped the tractor. But just that "it's net good" won't be the end of the story.
I suspect the main reason why central planning fails is not actually the planning part. The problem is human hubris - the idea that if the plan fails, then all you need is a "better" plan that accounts for more things.

In the real world, things break constantly for various reasons. And there is a trade-off between efficiency and robustness. If you try to make something very very efficient (i.e. optimal), then you also make it very brittle. So for instance, in the communist economies (not that they wouldn't have other problems, they were dictatorships after all), the planners would decide that it is "optimal" to have this one factory producing something, like computer chips. But then something got delayed there, and everybody who expected the thing to be delivered had to wait. These unexpected delays accumulated through this "optimal" solution.

I think main reason why capitalism works is actually because it is terribly inefficient. It duplicates a lot of work, through competition. But the robustness is much higher. And that's why it's a success and has higher overall economic throughput.

You can see this paradox in large corporations, which are, as many people noted here, centrally planned economies. They suffer from the same problem - human planners are trying to be too optimal, the robustness suffers, and the result is often spectacular internal failures.

It's like with spacecrafts. Of course it would be more efficient if the spacecraft had only one engine, one computer, and so on. But what if it breaks? Then the whole mission fails. That's why it needs backup engines, backup computers, and so on.

If you're looking for innovation on vector operations (i.e. not packed SIMD or GPU-style SPMD), then RISC-V's vector extension (especially if you consider extensions to it for graphics or scientific compute or machine learning) should seem very promising. It's not technically groundbreaking (Cray did it first), but I think it has more potential than the endless treadmill of wider packed SIMD instructions (which dissipate an immense amount of power on intel's hardware), and it is amenable to more general tasks than SPMD is.
Hacks like this are a lot of fun to play with on the bench but don't design a circuit like this when you want something that "just works", has a reasonable life-time and certainly don't put a hack like this into production.

That being said, Sir Clive Sinclair made a pretty remarkable little computer (the ZX-81) but minimizing the parts count to the extreme. And there's a colloquial term for the process of minimizing your component count.

One of my favorite authors in Electronic Design was Bob Pease (now deceased). In a 1992 article [0] he recounts the process used by Earl "Madman" Muntz who was an early television pioneer. I could ruin the story but I'm going to insist you read the original instead. Enjoy!

Except for the gui (by which I assume you mean wysiwyg) Emacs with Org-mode meets these requirements, albeit requires a bit of configuring and a couple add-ons. It takes a bit of learning, though, and wouldn't meet a user-friendly requirement. Org-mode does meet a few wysiwyg items (font size, underlining, italics, etc.) but certainly isn't full wysiwyg solution. Still, it's probably a better solution than LaTeX, because (1) Org documents can be seamlessly exported to LaTeX (and many other formats), (2) Org documents tend to have much cleaner (or even no markup) compared to LaTeX, and (3) add-ons extending functionality can be easily crafted in Emacs.
