Not really disagreeing, just chiming in as a mathematician who does a lot of programming:

Mathematicians handle variable scope all the time--I would argue that a variable's scope is generally the section, subsection, lemma, theorem, etc that it is defined in. If I write "let x be ..." in the proof of a lemma, I sure don't intend for it to be a global variable.

It's not unusual to have an index of symbols at the end of a paper or book.

Also, anonymous objects are fine and used all the time. "Applying z => z^2 to the region U, ..." or some such thing.

I'm not sure it would be very useful to try to coordinate some standard notation for all of this. Anyway, one nice thing about writing math is that you can make up whatever notation you need, as you need it, and no compiler can tell you not to :)

Well, there could be legitimate reason that it couldn't scale up, but... "necessity is the mother of invention" and I don't feel it should be left at that. (Particularly on HN, where people seem to take inordinate pride in their ability to find ways of scaling things up.)
to say that music theory lies outside the realm of science is not the same as saying that a machine can never produce pleasing and/or artistically valid music (or art in general) "on its own" (assuming that you believe it's possible for a machine to become independent of its creator(s) as an animal child can).

Thank you so much! So glad to finally run into a positive comment haha. You totally nailed it!!! You made my day :)
I worked on this for a while as well! I talked with a lot of people who deal with contracts regularly (both lawyers and laypeople, in-house and in private practice) and all of them acknowledge there are inefficiencies in the way they work. The desire for better tools exists out there, it's just a matter of figuring out the best way to deliver it.

The existence of the MS Word shackles means that an incremental solution is inherently limited by being compatible with the MS Word format, one way or another. Even if you convince one client to move to your solution, everyone else they interface with will still be using MS word, so you must take that into account. Import/export features can smooth the way, but will hold you back on the kinds of features you'll be able to develop.

Building an entire suite that delivers a new, improved workflow is more tempting for the client, but then you're building a lot more up-front and limiting yourself to clients that actually have significant legal-related costs to defray. And again, it's still likely that your client will continue to work with people who won't be using their new tool, so will have to resort to MS Word on occasion.

And to top all that off, there are a LOT of people that need to be able to use this tool. It has to be built for lawyers, sales people, procurement people, VPs, CEOs, paralegals, customer success, consultants, among others. And even if you're only talking about contracts, even contracts vary widely in length, complexity, and importance.

All in all, it's a really interesting space, and I really enjoyed working on the problems there. Someone is definitely going to crack it within the next few years. Would be glad to talk more over email.

The real world is full of a lot more variance than you seem to believe. It is possible to do everything possible within your power correctly and still fall victim to this kind of misfortune.

You're trying to force the world to fit your model. Instead, you need to fix your model to allow for non-100% ID coverage, because reality is always going to have complications, errors, mistakes, and unexpected interactions.
It goes beyond software, I'm more than capable of replacing dead SMT components on a board - but I can't get board layouts or official replacement parts for anything these days.

>“Just like Jesus said, ‘The poor will always be with us,’” he said. “There is a group of people that just don’t want health care and aren’t going to take care of themselves.”

>Pressed on that point, Marshall shrugged.

No seriously, some people have a really fucked up reading of "the poor will always be with us" and some of those people are actually in charge of things.

for some context on that particular bible quote: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2017/03/03/ignorant... Jesus is solid on this one, that doesn't mean people don't build their beliefs on some weird interpretations of what some one once told them Jesus said.

If that's all it were, then someone would have repackaged Google Docs and sold that to the legal world. While "track changes" is absolutely essential to any product that aims to replace MS Word for legal docs, a replacement will need to have much more than that.
Saying "no API to learn" is a bit disingenuous. The object format with its $ keys _is the API_, be it simpler or not than the average framework.
Another Surface competitor/clone is the HP Elite X2 1012 G1 (what I have). Opening it is a pleasure - takes under 5 minutes. Once open, the screen, SSD, and battery are easy to replace. I updated the SSD on mine in less than 15 minutes.
Oh, I agree. I suspect we might differ on the question of whether the best answer to bad government is more government, though. Wouldn't it be a remarkable thing if, for example, it were possible to exist without any number of pieces of paper and corresponding database records to prove that you do? I think it would be a remarkable thing. But I've often been called a dreamer.
There are papers that demonstrate the discriminatory effects of voter ID laws on minority turnout [1], and these sorts of interview videos are easy to produce in a way that selectively validates the statement you want to convey. I don't know the data on a regional basis, but it could be the case that residents of places like New York City are better informed than those in other regions of the country.

Ah yeah I think, I read a bit more and the idea of using pure functions to generate the mostly-JSON spec is actually really neat. But how can you handle many events and complex custom side-effects without adding bigger and bigger functions to the mix? And then DOM elements will need a way to communicate with the other elements and share data. I suppose you could always add a message bus architecture like Redux or whatever, but [oh yeah I forgot I made this flux module thing for ES5! https://github.com/guscost/simple-flux/blob/master/sf.js]
This is crazy. Technology has always ruled America. It's ruled man since the invention of fire. Things have just sped up so that the folks at the top are the ones who can keep up rather than slow it down.
The top 5% own >70% of all stock, so no it mostly isn't grandma's 401k or grandpa's pension. Half of all Americans don't own a single share of anything in any form.
That depends entirely on the level of understanding.

Is this all that surprising? If mammals tend to have genome sizes of around 1-10 pg, and a mutation has a chance of around 10^-8 per base, then you would expect around 10-100 mutations per generation. So if you were sampling random members of a species at close periods in time, you would probably see a lot of genetic variation, but over wider stretches of time, the later samples are only descendants of the old genes that reached fixation and survived, plus whatever new mutations centered around the later time. Fixation is slow and depends on the mutation's positive selection benefits and the overall population count, but some mutations happen every generation and most aren't positive... With viruses their mutation chance is even higher... This is just from references in the 90s, so is Ho's result just a nice math model to better take into account time scales with samples?
Yes, it seems that Oracle does care about performance in high-concurrency applications: https://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/benchmarks/

Even their own benchmarks show MySQL 5.7 dipping below previous versions at the low end of the concurrency scale.

Does not seem to me to be like that. Seems to me what this is saying is that on shorter time scales it tries out many different combinations that when you look at them on longer time scales have settled into whatever wins that process. It sort of settles on longer scales of time to the optimal solution that survives, in shorter periods of time it's experimenting with the search space. In longer periods of time it's decided on the answer so it converges on that space. Putting it this way, evolution is just a search to find something that works or works better, the results being tested continuously by the environment.

I know that's what he said, but I don't think that will be the reality. When we do actually send people to mars, I don't think we'll be able to bring them back ... not the first generation anyway. And many of them will die.
This context is key here. High concurrency workloads have not suffered this badly and in most cases have increased performance and that's specifically part of why. For many (or possibly even a good majority) of users, that's more important than low-concurrency.

Those blindly suggesting MariaDB or Percona is all well and good but naive. Percona generally follows MySQL upstream but makes their own little tweaks which could be (but are not always) fixed in MySQL upstream based on differing specific priorities.

MariaDB is highly diverged at this point and likely has a whole different set of problems and benefits.

Author of these posts is well known for a long (10+ years) history of working with MySQL at a deep level rivalling that of many of the developers, generally writes good stuff (though is not infallible :)

While we’re at it, the (positional) Mesopotamian sexagesimal system evolved around 2000 BC, and had a placeholder “zero” symbol for empty places sometime before 0 AD.
I think the author misses the basis of innovation of notation: mathematicians are lazy.

A simple exercise, often used to teach children, is to start without notation. Do exercises like these (translated from Hungarian way of saying numerals):

Write the questions the teacher speaks and give answers:
"Two tens three plus one ten six equals?" Three tens nine.
"Seven tens one plus two equals?" Seven tens three.
... Do about five of these. Children will ask if they can write less. Do a few more with comparisons ("is greater than or equal to"), simplifying equations ("is equivalent to"), lines of equations ("has the same solutions as") and children understand.

These leads to fixing notation that causes errors:
"6x3" can read like "6x times 3".
Poor handwriting confuses "6' with "8".
Pi is usually a less interesting number than 2*pi.
Kinematics use all four corners of a letter, e.g.,
"joint x, in frame r, at time t, ..."

There is space for better notation, or at least an appreciation of how it ends up where it does.
Honestly, I'd be thrilled if they simply added an Amazon Locker at each WF location. I'm in the north Dallas/Ft Worth area, and occasionally buy pricy stuff from Amazon that I'd rather not have sitting on my front porch with all of the package thefts that happen nationwide. A nearby locker would be great. Example: I'm near McKinney. The nearest Amazon Locker is either at a 7-11 in Garland, or way out at a QuikTrip gas station in Greenville. (Yes, Greenville!)

A locker would get me into Whole Foods more often for sure.
Depends on the type of fraud. SMSPVA is mostly used to create email, social media accounts which are then used for various schemes.
As children, we very much enjoyed the 88 miniseries, and so my brother asked my mother once for 'Turkish Delight.' She supplied instead a product called 'Aplets and Cotlets,' which I understand is Turkish Delight, as manufactured and consumed in North America. So we had a clear picture of what exactly Edmund was eating fairly early on.
Depressing thing to Google. Seems like an interesting project that couldn't keep it's funding in volatile times. It might have been Swift or F# if developed at a better company.
Yes, cell itself has a decentralized architecture but that doesn't mean you need to do everything in a decentralized manner.

Just like you can build spaceships, police station, cars, and all kinds of complex things using lego blocks, you can build complex architecture using the simple building block that is cell.

I myself have been experimenting with different approaches of structuring apps using cell, and there are really a lot of different ways since we become free from having to inherit classes and instantiate objects from them. I don't want to be constraining about how one uses cell so I don't talk much about what a "best practice" is (yet)

But maybe sooner or later people can share some nice approaches for structuring "traditional apps" using cell
Wow!!! I considered that possibility, but figured they were too good to be something that wasn't honed over the years.

They'd make a good template for the other groups--I would absolutely go back to them for thought-exercises for future ventures.

I am proudly of the '5%'. Some things I have done include: Thinkpad (some ancient Pentium-133 model) motherboard (30 min), Fujitsu T4020 fan (4 hours), Fujitsu T4200 SSD (2x, 10min max each), various hard drives, HP Pavilion 17 fan (3 hours), Motion M1400 memory and hard drive (converted to a PATA SSD after much research, 30min), and the M.2 SSD on my HP Elite X2. The fan replacements in particular were not fun but it seemed wrong to throw them away for something as basic as a $11 fan (buried in the internals as it was), which is why my current laptop (Elite X2) has no moving parts whatsoever.
Keep in mind this is from 2011...A lot has changed at Amazon since then.

I... didn't?
There is a surprising number of Americans in this situation, though less than their used to be, partly by virtue of the fact that having an ID is not required and unnecessary as a practical matter for much of the 20th century. You'd have Americans with no birth records (used to be pretty common) who grew up overseas when a passport was not required, such that they didn't even have incidental records of their existence. It also used to be somewhat common in very rural areas. Consequently, there used to be a significant number of Americans who basically have no discernible record of existence prior to their teenage or early adult years. My mother is an example in fact.

It used to be, as of a few decades ago at least, that you were whoever you said you were and the ID offices would happily accept informal artifacts (like family Bibles) as corroborating evidence, particularly in regions where record-less Americans were endemic. Once you got your first ID, you could chain off of that. These days I think it would be viewed with much more suspicion if a person was record-less.
as far as the "arbitrary precision" arithmetic, no.
Yep, but if you have a chain of components with a single source of truth, like store -> top level component -> chain of dumb components, then you have to set attributes on the tlc for the dumb components to inherit. This causes a series of problems - it's your responsibility now to ensure those attributes don't mask each other and are synchronised (maybe one of your children components wants a certain value as `name`, another the same value as `title`, another as `header` - you now have to check they always refer to the same value in your scope. What if one of your grand-children also wants `title` with a different meaning?).
Now suppose these components are not yours, but are exported from 3rd party libraries you don't own or control: you're officially in a world of pain. It's a bit like scopes in Angular 1.x but with even less control.

A better idea to do deal with this? Properties, like in React. You control what you pass down and every component has a clear interface you can interact with, without polluting the context. Incidentally, React has contextes, which are vaguely similar to your inheritance mechanism, but are used to implement "special" behaviours, like implementing theming across the component chains etc.

I just heard a couple of malls around my house are converting into high rise apartment buildings. So in the long run the land owners are thinking all that there is room for is housing.
I did a contract at Amazon here in the Dallas/Ft Worth area, and in my experience between the warehouses (I think that there are now 8 in the DFW area alone) these stories were the exception, not the norm.

I wasn't a contract product picker either, I'm a Paramedic that helped staff the on-site medical clinic, which exists mostly for workers comp paperwork and the occasional emergency. (in 6 months, I responded to 2 actual medical emergencies.)

The warehouses were not overheating even in the Texas sun, we didn't have an ambulance sitting outside, and people weren't passing out. I'm not sure what was up with the one in the story but it definitely sounds like more of an exception than the rule. But that story of that warehouse just keeps coming up.
