Can confirm. Just this past week I observed mortgage loan officers taking inbound calls from prospective customers. The nuances involved in answering the huge spectrum of questions and complex answers around home loans (for instance) won't be replicated by machines for quite some time. In general, when people are making big financial decisions they will be more comfortable talking to another person than AI until there truly is no detectable difference anymore (20+ years away)?
If you can't use React because of the license, use InfernoJS (MIT). In fact...you should probably use Inferno JS anyway.
There has been developments along some of these issues:

- jbuilder (https://github.com/janestreet/jbuilder) has markedly improved the build system story. Importantly, the community understands that this is an issue and is actively working towards making the situation better.

- Type declaration at the code level is optional. You could always annotate your code with types, and the type checker will ensure that the annotated types are compatible with the inferred ones. If you would like to know "what type is this 'e' variable", there is merlin (https://github.com/ocaml/merlin), which integrates with popular editors.

- Reg. typeclasses, there has been enormous amount of work put into modular implicits (http://ocamllabs.io/doc/implicits.html). It is likely to be the next major features in OCaml along with multicore.

100% agree, but good luck when a multibillion dollar media machine pushes exactly that. Most of the "enlightened" people I know get their news from The Daily Show and comparable sources.
The problem is if you look at say home ownership as a balance between the costs of rent vs. loans that works at a very high level. But, second order effects such as decreased earnings from immobility vs pride in home ownership etc get really complicated if you want high fidelity models.

To use an analogy, classical physics is great for building walls, but it does not help you build 5nm transistors.
Where did you learn to set something up like this?
Totally unrelated to this topic, so please ignore if this is a bad place to discuss this.. but: How difficult is this to embed in Go? I've never heard of embedding C#. I suspect if I was to use this it would likely be outside of Go.

Right now I'm in need of an embedded indexer with full text search for schema less queries. I've settled with a (incomplete) custom indexer I wrote that applies FTS via Bleve.

However, I doubt this will scale well - so I was assuming that I'd switch to ElasticSearch or Solr. Resin sounds interesting though. Especially if I can embed it, and not have to run a separate process.
I like having the alternative. But the problem is that 100% of your ecosystem needs to not use React. And that's the majority of the value I've gotten from using React: all the components I get from libraries like antd that save me a ton of prototyping time.

Hi all, wanted to jump in here to let everyone know that the RocksDB team is adjusting the licensing such that it will be dual-licensed under the Apache 2 and GPL 2 (for MySQL compatibility) licenses. This should happen shortly and well ahead of August 31st. I'll leave the history and philosophy around licensing alone since it's generally a complex discussion to have and I'm not sure that it has actually been fully captured in this thread especially vis a vis Facebook's intent.
Hopefully this morning's guidance to PMCs can be adjusted since I don't think any of us see a bunch of extra engineering effort as a desirable thing across the ASF projects which are already making use of RocksDB
Thanks,
--David

Looks like they're working on amending this issue, could very well be a case of legal getting involved and the regular engineers not realizing the change or simply not paying attention. Alternatively, maybe this is just crisis management and they were just hoping this wouldn't happen.
I did the same thing on one of the mesh units as well as it was in one of the rooms diametrically opposite from the main unit and on the second floor. The mesh shows great signal strength now.
I was very interested in React. When I saw it was by Facebook, my first instinct was that there must be something shady about it but I didn't write it off completely. Then the license issue came to light. Even if they change it now, it still has the stink of their tainted name all over it. I'm never touching it.
In my school, business, compsci and psychology had a GPA requirement.

All of the fratboys who washed out of the Business department either landed in sociology, MIS, or economics. They seemed to do well there, and get decent jobs as long as they had 15 credits of accounting.

I was told that they didn't really wash people out until the graduate level.

I'm not particularly attached to Reason syntax myself, but there are some bits of OCaml syntax that do annoy me, such as the right-to-left direction for parametrized types ('a list instead of a more usual list 'a).

As for classes, well... They're not really used outside of specific situations (eg, UI widgets), so it's not really a terribly convenient solution (especially since, for a really useful to_string implementation, you would want the member fields of your class to also implement to_string, so that would mean objects everywhere).

The short answer is: single-core cpu performance is not going up much in the recent years. The core count is still increasing every year. That is why graphics cards still see a strong rise in total performance, their usual work load is inherently parallel.

For typical server tasks, like web serving, we can just run several processes. Unix is doing this for decades. But even web serving is often cpu bound, if your SQL query runs only on one cpu.

The obvious thing to make programs faster is, to utilize as many cpus as possible to perform the computations. There is no silver bullet, but the recent years brought quite some progress. Go makes it easy and cheap to spawn off goroutines, the channels and GC help to make this a reasonable concept. Functional programming languages are even a more obvious candidate for parallel execution, as they have no side effects.
The irony in this comment is astounding!

You're literally forcing a moral perspective onto someone while in the same breath claiming that your moral perspective is that you shouldn't force views or standard onto others.

That's so fucking contradictory it's literally asinine.

To address your actual points:

>And destroy their culture and way of living in the process? Why? We don't have any right to force on them what you think is 'better' for them.

We objectively know in many cases medicine and health care that is better for them. Full stop.

>it's time that people finally realize that they do way more harm than good by forcing their views and 'standards' on others.

Prove it. You're making a huge claim here, where's the evidence? I'd argue that if your views and standards can't handle encounters with new or foreign views and standards, that they are clearly not suitable for practical application, and their days are numbered by matter of principle, not by any moral or ethical argument.

Finally, the land those people occupy represents a large earning for the other impoverished people in the country. Who are you to decide (from afar, with no on the ground insight) that their rights are more valuable than the other people?

Your entire argument is "feel good" but utterly useless, ill considered, and frankly a little disturbing.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't have controls in place to regulate it.

The biggest "danger" in regards to AI is that people often wrongly assume that any significant level of human like intelligence is required, beyond that they also wrongly assume that we would be even able to recognize if it does reach a level of intelligence that poses a risk.

One of the most common thought experiments is a basic optimizer that goes out of control.
This "AI" doesn't need to be intelligent it just needs to have sufficient agency in the real world and basic problem solving capabilities.

In fact a stupid AI with excessive agency arguably scares me more than a rogue Cortana.

It might be a good thing long term as snapchat is seen as a market leader. Facebook will react and copy features. But in time they will copy so many it will take them off their primary course of gathering more information for the user ad segment program.

Snapchat can offer things facebook can't like privacy and trust that will become increasely important if snapchat can change the conversation through features it will put facebook in a difficult position.
The answer to the government's argument, of course, is that information theory doesn't behave like empirical reality in several significant ways, which add up to the Internet being fundamentally different from the "real world."

With algebraic effect handlers (the concurrency story of multicore OCaml), you can write your I/O code in direct-style, but retain the advantage of non-blocking I/O. As such, you have the advantage of goroutines, but this is also an opt-in. The asynchronous I/O is implemented as a library and is not baked into the language, and hence you can write your own I/O library. For more details, see our recent draft paper: http://kcsrk.info/papers/system_effects_may_17.pdf.
Depending on where you live, stuff like prosperity gospel is both mainstream and dominant, especially if you aren't associated with a less extroverted church that doesn't use modern marketing.

You should worry because you don’t have a magic orb that lets you look into the future.

It usually works out better when people do what they want to do then figure out the details, rather than when they do what they have to do and stay bitter about it. From his own admission, his partner is the one who wants kids, while the parent life is the one that he fears.

To me it sounds like he's only pondering this to keep his partner happy. That makes sense for small things like watching a show you don't like or bearing with the in-laws. It is a train wreck waiting to happen when it comes to the big stuff like families and careers. For those situations, it's really time to get a different partner.

Well, that's good to know.

If you would like to know "what type is this 'e' variable", there is merlin (https://github.com/ocaml/merlin), which integrates with popular editors.

I am aware of that. I shouldn't have to use Merlin to read third-party code from github, and god forbid that you have to do code review on a "let's all rely on type inference" codebase in a web browser. I think Rust strikes the right balance here, by enforcing the use of type signatures at function boundaries (which also lets it offer world-class error messages).

I know about implicits. I also know that multicore has been "just around the corner" for a few years now, this does not bode well for implicits (which have also been "in progress" for a long time). This also touches another issue with the OCaml maintainers: little in the way of information seems to filter down to the unwashed masses, and let us not speak of the word "roadmap"...
Really Interesting Article on JavaScript Intrigue

Like others have pointed out here, it's incredibly hard to know the application boundaries up front, which are are required for building micro services.

I think solutions that are a hybrid of Monolith and Microservices work out well. As another person pointed out.. this can be fairly easily achieved by having a monolith with multiple sub-projects to get separation of concerns. The code is all in 1 place so it's easier to design and refactor. You can also deploy different sub projects as microservices if you need to later on. So it's basically having a monolith with separately deplorable sub-components.

Once boundaries are clearly understand, it can then be easier to physically separate services
> More to the point, she said that the statistics used for almost all mainstream economics is flat-out wrong.

As someone who has worked extensively with both PhD statisticians and economists, but practices neither beyond what I've learned via osmosis, I couldn't care less what the statisticians think anymore. They were definitely smart, but completely useless. We had several projects where the economists came up with solutions that measurably and objectively worked to the order of 9 figure changes in the bottom line and reversals of decades-long trends...and they did it using data sets that the statisticians wouldn't even touch due to some religious moral panic from observational data. Statisticians always found some way to object to everything under grounds of being proper in some way or another, and rarely came to the table with anything more useful than "First we need to find some way to create a perfect alternate universe".

Econometrics has very rightly diverged from statistics. Economists do not have the luxury of the theoretical environments that statisticians require but never have to create. And as a social science, they don't have the luxury of measuring outputs of perfectly understood processes, but rather the ever changing output of cultures and personalities guided by 3.5 billion years of evolution. Maybe their ideas offend statisticians, but it's pretty hard to find something that exists in the real world that doesn't offend them, so I'm not concerned.

Go doesn't really have a good shared memory story, either. Shared memory support exists, but it's not really any safer than in C or Java. If that were good enough, then Ocamlnet's netmulticore library would already fit the bill. But most people who want shared memory support want something that's both safer and higher level.

Go really is designed around message-passing as its primary means of coordination; the key part here is having nice abstractions, which is where Go's strengths lie and which revolve primarily around `select`. But writing higher-level abstractions over processes and FIFO channels isn't terribly hard, as long as you have serialization built in (which Python, Ruby, and OCaml all do).

Pretty sure when I started physics in high school we started with measuring trolleys accelerating (or not) done an inclined run timed with ticker tape and covered the maths alongside the experiments.

The Guardian is a notorious proponent of central economic planning, which is the most hubristic economic ideology there is. It presumes a small group of economists, using macroeconomic data, can plan the activities of millions of people better than they can themselves using vast stores of localized private knowledge that's diffused across society. Moreover, it advocates that the government should give these economists the right to override an individual's own decisions on what to do with their life and property, in order to force them to comply with said plan.

Every other article from them promotes basic income, prohibitions on 'dangerous' free market interaction (e.g. Uber), conspiracy theories about the wealthy promoting the free market ideology, or some other bullshit economic fad based almost entirely on conjecture from anecdotal evidence that satisfies its ideological biases.

Yes, your understanding is largely correct. To be clear, you can still sue Facebook for stealing your patented invention, but then your grant to any patents that your use of React infringes would expire and Facebook could countersue over that. Facebook legal's response to this concern has been largely obfuscation and "trust us" which is not encouraging. They did change the patent grant two years ago to allow you to assert patent claims against Facebook without losing the grant if Facebook sues you first, but that's of limited utility.
