The place where aeroplanes go to die
Here's the NYT book review: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/books/review/the-meat-rac....

I think the bigger picture issue is that there is nothing special here about meat, nearly every industry is like that. Big corps are inherently more efficient at this sort of thing, and technology has helped them overcome any inefficiencies of scale they might have suffered in the past. You used to be able to walk into a Comp USA (or even local computer stores) and see aisles of CDs from all these different software companies. Today, Google/Microsoft/Apple control everything through their app stores and bundle most of the software you might want to buy with their devices.

Heck, we're watching this happen right now in several industries, and cheering it along. Amazon is putting all the smaller retailers out of business (because there is pretty much no way to compete with Amazon's economics of scale). Uber is an international mega-corp that's systematically wiping out the dozens of taxi companies (almost all small businesses) that used to exist in each city.
I see. But that means using a whitespace-sensitive syntax, which some people (including me ;) ) don't really like
This is more likely to be applied to topology optimization imo
> There is no data to make this assertion about computer driven vehicles.

Today that is true. I am speculating when I say that autonomous vehicles will be safer than humans drivers. There is enough effort going into developing them that we will soon have that data though.

Google's data is already showing promise that the autonomous car is likely to be safer, but they don't have enough miles to be significant.

> There is little basis to declare human drivers 'fundamentally unsafe' given the proportion of accidents pales in comparison to the gigantic volume of vehicles on roads worldwide over varied road and traffic conditions.

10.6 deaths per 100,000 people is enough for me to call humans fundamentally unsafe. (though cancer and other medical conditions are bigger)

Since humans cannot be equipped with the sensors a computer can (ie eyes on the back of your head) it isn't fair to compare the as if situation.

You're talking about the rights of individuals. A person has the right to free speech and a person has the right not to be harassed.

A person does not have the right to be trusted, but can expect to be taken seriously on a claim of harassment if they have earned trust or if they provide evidence to back up the allegation.

I think this is more to solve a problem with Ethereum (that it's hard to spend it on things) than to solve a problem with retail.
Author here--you're totally right. When we did this for our actual registration site, we spent hours inspecting requests in a proxy[0] to get to ~194 lines of PHP.

Correct. It means you can't create instances of Foo on the stack (outside of the Foo class).

You can have contiguous Foos, but not in a vector. You can either have another static function to return an array of Foos, or more commonly have some sort of pool allocator and have the create function allocate objects from the pool.

Anyway, yes, there are limitations for using this pattern, so like all things it's a matter of weighing up the tradeoffs.

The hell else are they supposed to do exactly? The economic crash hit the middle states hard, and the recovery has gone almost exclusively to the coasts.

Seems like paypal accomplishes the same thing. I have to explicitly agree to be billed a specific amount through paypal's checkout process and it is not possible for the merchant to bill me again unless I explicitly agree to a recurring subscription (and even then, the recurrence is managed by the paypal subscription API, preventing the merchant from receiving any more funds than what I explicitly agreed to)
Great concept and nice write up.

However, while its potentially satisfying to calculate things like "2x" happy or "0.5x" marketing spend, it is simply a (self-masturbatory) abstraction. How is "happiness" defined, and how does it occur? If you gave away the candy boxes people would indeed be happy and would not cancel, and you get away with marketing spend.

Abstraction is nice as a thought exercise. However, abstraction -/> application.

I couldn't agree more about In Our Time. It's my weekly go-to programme on Radio 4 regardless of what subject they're discussing. On many subjects they've discussed I've usually picked up one or two books to learn more about events, people and things I didn't even know existed.

Rhinos are endangered and hunted by poachers nearly to extinction because they aren't allowed to be domesticated and "farmed" for ivory. The best way animals can ensure long term survival is to be useful to man, not only because farm animals are in much greater numbers and protected as property is in our society, but also because we are rapidly running out of "wild" area for them to exist in.

I shudder to think how many species are going to go extinct once we can grow meat directly in labs.

I would take this news with a pinch of salt.
"I like to play my favorite songs, I don't really know any music theory."

But honestly, there is an expectation of some level of competency/knowledge when trying to "claim" a hobby, because people consider a hobby as something you involve yourself in at more than a surface level.

Would you call yourself a polyglot because you know how to say "I love you." in eight different languages? Would you expect others to consider you multilingual? Probably not... There is some floor level of expectation before people would say you can "speak" a language and would consider you multilingual and a single phrase doesn't cut it for most people.

If someone tells me that they like to play a musical instrument - I'd first gauge their level of ability "What songs do you like to play?" followed by their knowledge of music theory "Could you show me a `Gm sus4 7` chord in the second inversion?" or a more basic "What are the 12 notes in Standard Western notation?"
You used to be able to walk into a Comp USA (or even local computer stores) and see aisles of CDs from all these different software companies.

This is true. Those were terrible, terrible times to be in the software business.

The two maths jokes that I can remember from my undergrad days are:

Apologies for the mislead! When I titled this, I imagined talking a lot more about stepping through the registration system in something like mitmproxy to find the exact requests to send, which feels a lot closer to hacking/reverse engineering.

The Blockchain Revolution: Where's the Disruption?
Well, I haven't taken all of them, so I can't give you a direct comparison. But I am pretty sure Andrew Ng's Coursera one still holds up. I'm doing the Geoffrey Hinton one on Neural Networks now and it's been good. I've also been working through the Udacity ML course and there's some good stuff in there (lots of sci-kit learn stuff, so if you're especially interested in that, it's definitely good).

And not "Machine Learning" per-se, but related, there's a series on Coursera, from Duke, on "Probability and Statistics with R" that I've been going through. I'm on the Bayesian Statistics module now and I've learnt a ton from this sequence.
I'm confused. So are you saying China is banning Weibo, iFeng, and ACFUN from displaying videos (But not from livestreaming, since those sites don't do livestreams?) since they don't have a license?

A Novel Improvement on the Myers Diff Algorithm
I would be terribly afraid to write a real world retail system in Solidity. One stupid mistake and all the money is gone, without much you can do about it.

And without formal verification, bugs are certain sooner or later.
In contrast to the other commenter, I don't think it's overstating things. In my opinion, it's understating things. Accounting was the killer app for writing things down back in the earliest historical times. Many clay tablets in Akkad are about accounting, and the earliest Phoenician records were accounts as well. The more familiar will recognize that it is the Phoenician alphabet that evolved into most of the Mediterranean world's alphabets, including Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and Arabic script.

So arguably, without the need for accounting, writing, would have been invented far later, and the literature that we have from ancient times would have been lost to oral tradition.
There is so much information out there that one needs to do some legwork on their own before expecting others to answer their questions, questions that probably have been asked many times, answered in other places, and were often asked as ways of attacking or dismissing. A sign of good faith is needed, in other words.

How about a "security through obscurity" countermeasure for sensitive systems where we'd use a special compiler that adds a bunch of "noise" in the generated algorithm (useless instructions etc...)?

Or alternatively run the algorithm through an emulator that does the same thing.
The trouble with 'hacking the planet'
It's not binary. There's a whole range types of people, situations and forces at play. Not all are sophisticated, not all are dumb and probably are reacting to emotional forces that we aren't aware of. I frequently read stories on this site about how it's dumb to have your whole business dependent upon Facebook. Maybe depending entirely on Costco is equally a bad idea. Perhaps more so since there are massive loans involved.

EDIT: From the article:

"Bringing the boys back to the farm is huge for me," Mueller says. "I'm not a big enough farmer to where another family could farm and do corn and soybeans and survive. This way they can."

At least in this one case there are non-sophisticated financial forces at play. Patio11's comment is not apt.

>So the higher the better... let's get there, and make everyone's life easier.

Not really. For one, 4K already makes life more difficult, adding huge trnascoded files, slow renders, proxy workflows, etc. That's on a pure technical level.

On an aesthetic level, it's a bad habbit too and cropping in post is a lazy copout or an emergency kludge. Setting your frame is more than just "getting what you want in the final output", it affects parallax, compression, etc. Croping from 2x the frame is not the same optically. And deciding in post means a less well thought out frame in the first place. So, it's nice as a emergency kludge to save ones ass, for documentary, ad work or news, but not so good for movies.
I'd agree to some extent - there was far too much focus on "frustration" based gameplay for my liking. Some of the levels are simply much too difficult for more casual players. I don't think I personally finished the game without using one of those cheat memory cards that gave you 99 lives etc, which was never the case with any Mario instalment. I still remember it fondly though, and visually it's aged incredibly well for a 3D PlayStation title.

I'd argue Crash is often held in high regard more because at the time in the mid-nineties it was assumed a console _had_ to have a big mascot franchise in the mould of Mario or Sonic, and Crash was a great character design. Many people seemed to be excited that Sony "finally" had a Mario competitor. I certainly felt at the time that Crash was going to grow into this role for Sony, which didn't really happen.
I like Qt, especially the desktop part. I haven't used QML at all, but started using Flutter. Killer feature in Flutter is sub-second update times preserving the same state app was running as before. Is this doable with QML?

If we could magically re-do all of the existing infrastructure overnight, then that would be a good solution. But since it's impossible to re-build all roads to have dedicated bike lanes, cyclists will have to use the road at some point.

And once there is the precedent that cyclists ride only in dedicated bike lanes, then you've limited the area that cyclists can ride to dense, affluent areas that have the demand and money for dedicated bike lanes.
For what real values of i does the sum of ε^i, taken ε=1 to infinity, converge?

Our real analysis lecturer once put this question on the blackboard (with sum as the proper scientific sum notation).

Even though we all knew the answer as trivial it took most of us some time to figure it out in such screwy notation (his point was that our mind is not invariant WRT notation, do not make up monsters when the normal schemas exist)

Over time these small wastes-of-time will decline, as you get more experienced and learn from feedback. But there's also the really big wastes of time: working on wrong thing, and building something with assumption that turns out to be false. The latter has been a problem for me recently, so been working on it by adding step 4 below.

Here's vague model of what I do:

1. Figure out what's really important to achieve: ask why you're doing something, what the constraints are. Figure out if you really have best solution, maybe there's different way to solve real problem.

2. Sketch out a design, in my head or in writing depending on complexity.

3. Figure out riskiest assumptions.

4. Try to build smallest possible end-to-end proof-of-concept implementation. This will validate or invalidate assumptions, and usually influence design in some way.

5. Start on real coding.

(I can't reply to the previous message regarding no-semicolon syntax, so I have to do it here. I definitely do not want to propose whitespace-sensitive syntax — just newline-sensitive, like in Scala, Swift, modern ECMAscript, or just any modern programming language with C-like syntax. Semicolons are allowed, BTW — they are just optional and inferred from newlines).
I wrote the article above and also visited Jiro when Jiro himself was making the sushi. There are similarities between both Kikuno and Jiro in their commitment to a craft, almost at the expense of everything else. This is something I rarely find outside Japan (which is also where you find family businesses specialising in niche crafts like temple bells and maki-e lacquerware in their 20th or 30th generation).

But one thing worth pointing out about Jiro is that while the food is very, very good, both in terms of technical execution and taste, the experience is not typical of a high-end restaurant. Jiro the man is extremely severe and focused on his work, while the sushi comes at a very brisk pace. For the boiled octopus for instance, you have to eat it immediately after it is served. If not Jiro will remind you to, once and then a second time more sternly. He expects his clients to respect his craft as much as he does.

- SJX
As a non-C++ programmer with a background in functional programming, this similarity was a big surprise to me when I read a recent article on C++ template metaprogramming -- it's all basic functional programming techniques, with recursion, (kinda) pattern matching, etc. Very interesting!

I could see how mixing templates with other C++ paradigms could quickly get messy in the wrong hands, since it's very powerful.

What? With the large monolithic patches that Microsoft has moved to, they have got worse, much worse, recently. It does make it easier to patch everything at once quickly, but if one thing goes wrong, you have to back it off and lose all protections.

Yeah it kinda sucks that Apple makes you re-download the app essentially. Its worse for iOS updates though. A full GB just for a point release?! I haven't use a Mac in a few years, so I'm not sure if its the same on the OSX App Store. Few years back I was aghast at having to re-download XCode for updates, plus it was super buggy then. Maybe its changed now.
Great to see. I personally don't use Swift (and don't really want to use Swift), but I do use Haiku, and more language support means more software, so I'm all for it.
While it's not representative, the last time I touched Visual Studio was to work on fixing bugs in software that had to be deployed to an Xbox 360. Let me tell you, the process for that involved nasty build settings and a small constellation of batch files and it was not especially usable. Text files aren't "stone age", they are the past and I would always bet on them being the future.
