Go does not support multi-dimensional slices, and that is a problem.

I am not sure the numeric data types thing is such an issue.

Python supports int, float, long and complex types. So does Go, with the slight annoyance you have to care a little more about the size of your number, and so you don't just label something 'long' and walk away safe in the knowledge it's kinda big. Numpy just makes Go's numeric data types available. The clever thing it does that Go does not is around arrays and operations on them - something we need to consider in Go land, carefully.

The other stuff Numpy and Pandas makes available could be made available in Go, too and could abstract away the horrible stuff under the hood where you're resizing slices and creating multidimensional versions.

I think the moment multi-dimensional slices are available, you can do everything you want, and with concurrency and therefore able to trivially exploit multi-core systems - that could be the killer feature. Maybe.

First I'll say that surveillance is a consensus among people in power no matter how you slice it. It is, depending on your perspective 1) about governments expanding government power, something the powerful in government always want or 2) about defending against terrorism, something everyone wants.

I'll give you my perspective on your question as someone fairly left of center, so take it with a grain of salt. Or take it as God's truth, whatever you fancy.

People, inevitably inexorably being strangled to death by the neoliberal free market capitalist economic system which has controlled nearly every western government since the 80s, are struggling and striking out for anything that will save them. People often turn to extremism and fascism of all stripes in situations like that. They become more extreme, because the status quo is a slow and painful death so anything that seems like it will bring change is good. When you are drowning you don't worry too much about the kind of boat that's offering to pull you up, you just climb onto it. Even if that boat is a slave ship.

Leftists have seen some success recently when they drop the ridiculous affectation of 'reasonable centrism and compromise' (centrism is only ever reasonable to people for whom the status quo is working, almost by definition), stop focusing on race/gender to the exclusion of class, and present real, radical, explicit and understandable changes to improve the lives of voters: Corbyn, Sanders, even Melenchon have all had encouraging and very high levels of success relative to expectations and the recent past, though they are mentioned in the order of their absolute success (Corbyn, topping the list, won a huge number of seats, the largest increase in labor vote share since 1945, caused a hung parliament which is pushing the Tories to make an uneasy alliance with an extremist group).

But these movements are still beginning and have a lot of work to do; they diametrically oppose the entrenched order explicitly (for the ultrawealthy, a Muslim ban is gauche and unbecoming of their senses of civility and properness; nationalizing private industry to take it from robber barons or providing healthcare for the poor is a very assault on their power/way of life), so they receive no support from above.
You’re going to have to give up nights and weekends probably for a couple years as we make this product.

The excerpt doesn't give a strong rationale for why people had to give up nights and weekends.

It wasn't to protect apple from bankrupcy, because thanks to the ipod and imac apple was already a profitable business.

It wasn't because phones were a threat to the ipod, because carriers had the phone market locked up so tight that you couldn't do a decent mp3 player on a phone. The ROKR was ample evidence for that.

It wasn't because competitors were on the horizon, because all phones at the time were terrible, and would have remained so without the iphone.

As far as I can tell from the article, the pressure cooker was created deliberately, by having competing teams and top-down imposed deadlines, but it still doesn't explain why it was necessary to do things like that. Was it all due to Steve's personality? If that's the case, how is modern-day apple? Is the autonomous car project still this crazy pressure cooker, or can people go home over the weekend to spend time with their families?

Yeah, I'm sorry mate, you're absolutely right. There is no problem in Japan as it regards civil rights. It's my mistake. Obviously these problems only exist in the US so, while we are specifically talking about judicial issues in Japan, it's beside the point because there are no issues here.

Here's a thought: the people in society with the lowest income have to pay for this just like everyone else, yet they are the ones least likely to benefit from it.

It is unfortunately a pattern that you'll find widespread in what the EU does. It benefits the the people with already higher income in the member countries way more than those with a low income. Sometimes it even makes the bottom of society subsidize those with higher incomes than they have - as is the case here.
Sure, but SF has proved it has no interest in doing it well and the entrenched interests are strongly incentivized to not do well.

I think urban planning makes more sense when you are going from undeveloped to developed. But it's harder to do once you already have developed land that needs to be torn down and redeveloped.

Except you shouldn't have to justify it. Using your example, watching kids is legal. So you should be able to go sit there and say "I like watching kids". Now maybe that's suspicious, but apart from people then watching you, there shouldn't be any repercussions.

At any rate, it's bad enough there are reporting laws. Then they make it illegal to try to avoid reporting laws? That's just an extra layer of absurdity.

Serious question, what if I made a small side business just for fun where I paid school children peanuts to run errands for me? Soon, those kids grow up and are still working for me and are now angry with me that I am paying them peanuts when their livelihoods and families depend on me. Yet I don't have enough to give a "living wage" with benefits - I just wanted a fun little side business for the school kids - not support everyone's entire family...

It is unfortunate that you've been downvoted. There's a bit of bias on HN when discussion of potential harms of LSD, THC, and MDMA come up.

Your comment is factually correct and is a relevant counterpoint. It should not have been downvoted.
When I hear "aligning parameters", I think more of the difference between this:

someFunction(firstParam, secondParam,
thirdParam, fourthParam);

And this:

someFunction(firstParam, secondParam,
thirdParam, fourthParam);

I've always found the second much easier to read, especially when there are multiple levels of nested expressions, and it's a style that has been encouraged on every project I've worked on.

I agree that aligning '=' is actively harmful in the example you give, and that it's harmful in most situations where it's used. I've encountered very rare instances where it's helpful, though. Sometimes you have a sequence of values defined by expressions that follow a pattern:

enum someEnum {
FIRST = BASE + MASK & (1 << 0),
SECOND_VALUE = BASE + MASK & (1 << 1),
TH = BASE + MASK & (1 << 2)
}

Aligning the expressions can make it more clear what the pattern is and how it differs from value to value:

enum someEnum {
FIRST = BASE + MASK & (1 << 0),
SECOND_VALUE = BASE + MASK & (1 << 1),
TH = BASE + MASK & (1 << 2)
}

Often there are other ways to handle the issue, such as hiding the expression behind a macro or a function call; when that's more readable, that's the way to go. But in cases where writing the expression explicitly ends up being more readable, I find alignment to generally be a win in this case.

Yes, it is a problem. The new CPU won't be 400% faster, but maybe 10-20%. And initially there won't be any new ISA software, so all software will use the old ISA. Thus the new CPU will be much slower for "all" software (from the users perspective) because of the need for emulation. This causes the new CPU to be a bad deal for users, thus causing developers not to release software with the new ISA.

This is probably an important reason why IA-64 failed, but x86-64 succeeded, Itanium CPU's ran x86 software at about half the speed for a much higher price.

The ARM solution seems like the least suboptimal solution in this case, as it at least eventually allows support to be dropped, when emulation is no longer a problem.

The only large-scale successful transition of an ISA migration without backwards compatibility is when Mac Os X transitioned from PPC to x86. It probably helped there that the Apple ecosystem is a bit special and much more closed and controlled, and that the Intel Core Duo's of the time had much better performance than the IBM G5's.

It's not sufficient that a car can drive well in a straight line, but it's necessary. Isn't that at least one of the things you should measure?

One need only look at Facebook which traded well below its IPO price 6 months later to understand this is a non-metric. All it "means" as far as I can tell is that the traders who got their 'bump' in the IPO wanted to dump their holdings and so have been continually selling. It will be really interesting when internal shareholders (aka employees) get unlocked and can sell their shares. A lot of people using their now vested and tradable equity to convert it into something like a down payment or a new car. Once that first wave has passed, then you can start looking at the stock price and trying to see what the market thinks of the company.
Prices (and margins) of telco in e.g. Poland are very low, but the costs the telcos pay to foreign telcos for roaming are pretty high. There's a lot of Poles working outside of Poland, etc. and someone will have to pay up for this.

As a parent of elementary schoolers, I am painfully familiar with this. But after having no success with the insecticides, I found a product called licefree (NFI) that is basically saltwater. It works great and has none of the potential health risks of insecticides so you can apply it liberally (to the whole family!) anytime there is the slightest hint that a kid might have lice. I can't recommend it enough.
No. You've got the tax evasion (if any - certainly you could set it up so you're paying the full taxes) plus the illegal activity, so two crimes already there.

In fact, it's less serious for society if you launder it, because then you're paying taxes on money you wouldn't otherwise pay taxes on.

Not really. You'll notice a pattern in most tech bigcos where they move from dynamic lang X to a statically typed language that can multithread properly.

Company towns are a very old idea.

Unfortunately, demand response curves are fun. By providing company housing, this venture will cause more people who've stayed away from the area due to housing costs to consider it more favorably, as they will have the prospect of obtaining relatively affordable housing through their employer.

This will intensify employee competition for those jobs, a quest in which personal connections still help. Those personal connections are best cultivated onsite and in-person, so this will likely drive up prices further for non-company housing in the area.

I'm not sure that's much of a solution to the housing crisis.

I've had similar things happen with my electric bill. I noticed at some point that I had been paying small late fees. Looking into it, they would cash my checks, but not credit the account until the day after the payment was due. They stopped doing it after I pointed it out, but that took a lot of convincing. I'm not convinced that it was an accident.
What a bad joke. This isn't even remotely close to fixing the big issues, like prop 13 or zoning/NIMBYs or regulatory processes, or even minor ones in Google control, such as building office space somewhere that isn't on the peninsula.
The whole impact of the architecture on the processor is to be considered, not just the size of the decoder. If the ISA was irrelevant (and the ISA does not just influence the decoder, it influences pretty much everything in various degrees) in modern days and even semi-modern days, Intel, with all its power (vastly superior to Arm, from a financing pov), would have come with something that does not suck in mobiles given how strategic this market is. It has not. In other words, you should not confuse the size of the lexicon with its associated comprehensive semantics.

It does not matter that adding instructions in that framework is not too costly. The framework itself is costly for some applications...
Yea. My main use case for it was my then-newborn son, so a compact was a good choice for me. I needed portability and quick pickup-to-use time, because image quality doesn't matter if you've already missed the moment. And 4k video really just sealed the deal. I would still probably pick the RX100 IV or V over the X100F for that alone.
>The burden of proof is on the accusers.

This isn't a court of law, and you're not the defendant. There is no "burden of proof."

>I'm only asking for a single credible source from inside Japan, and in Japanese.

Sources from inside Japan and in Japanese have already been posted here. If you find those inadequate, what Japanese language news sources would you recommend? Perhaps you could search those and tell us what they have to report, if anything, on the matter.

>. What if the Japanese criminal justice system is just really well run? That is an equally credible conclusion until proven wrong.

In any other context, with any other country, the police being able to detain and interrogate suspects for weeks and a judicial system with a 99% conviction rate would be assumed to be evidence of unchecked state power. And, of course, "well run" and "systemically corrupt" are not diametrically opposed.

I understand from past comments that you're passionate about fighting against what you perceive as false cultural stereotypes about Japan, which is fine, but in this particular case the assumption being made is that Japan is no different than any other state in the ways that power and opportunity can breed corruption. It can't be "equally credible" to assume that Japan is somehow an exception to human nature.

Apple needed to fulfill its deal with Cingular in a timely matter:

http://archive.wired.com/gadgets/wireless/magazine/16-02/ff_...

"And what would AT&T think? After a year and a half of secret meetings, Jobs had finally negotiated terms with the wireless division of the telecom giant (Cingular at the time) to be the iPhone's carrier. In return for five years of exclusivity, roughly 10 percent of iPhone sales in AT&T stores, and a thin slice of Apple's iTunes revenue, AT&T had granted Jobs unprecedented power. He had cajoled AT&T into spending millions of dollars and thousands of man-hours to create a new feature, so-called visual voicemail, and to reinvent the time-consuming in-store sign-up process. He'd also wrangled a unique revenue-sharing arrangement, garnering roughly $10 a month from every iPhone customer's AT&T bill. On top of all that, Apple retained complete control over the design, manufacturing, and marketing of the iPhone. Jobs had done the unthinkable: squeezed a good deal out of one of the largest players in the entrenched wireless industry. Now, the least he could do was meet his deadlines."

> It's like measuring a car's performance by how well it can drive in a straight line at 60mph.

No, it's like comparing several cars and their MRSP based on their 0-60 performance, which is certainly a reasonable thing to do. Just because they didn't measure stopping distance, it doesn't invalidate the entire comparison.
