I investigated this bug: Backup system, using a tree data structure where the root was a hash describing a backup, and the leaves were variable-size chunks of data. Backing up a virtual machine, it would process only the changed areas, and re-build that section of tree. Roughly 1 in a few million backups silently lopped off a branch of the tree, a couple levels up. Customers have thousands of VMs, we have thousands of customers. Silent data corruption, somewhere, every day. Rarely-triggered off-by-one errors in un-reproducable data suck.

I didn't assume ignorance, I observed it. I didn't mean to imply you were ashamed of being ignorant, what I meant is that it isn't an insult to tell someone that a moment is teachable, as we all have much to learn. I do apologize for framing my points in a way that was liable to be misinterpreted, and for not reading your argument closely enough. However, I'm not the only one missing something.

Best of luck, stranger.

Sounds interesting; any details on how it works, what materials it can be used with, what are the consumables, strength, accuracy/resolution, maximum size, etc..?
Now that the JVM is a multi-programming language platform, I hope things like this become more popular.

Kotlin, Frege, Clojure, Fantom, Ceylon, JRuby, etc. There's a language for everyone. So building more value into the JVM with projects like that would be really great.

The JVM is probably the most advance VM currently, and hopefully it'll just keep getting better, maybe faster startups with the new module system, hopefully in java 9 they add value types, etc. All to say, I think more people should look into the JVM as a platform for the future.
Things like bug count and time to market seem difficult to separate from having more experience as a developer or knowing your problem space better. We use almost all Java, and we have several projects that we did major re-designs of in the same language, which increased maintainability, found bugs, etc. But if I chose a different language, I would have probably attributed it to the new language or framework.

Unless you have a problem that fits a specific technology really well, my experience is that your time to market will be minimized by using the tools you know best.

Good questions:
See the new concept for securing the arbitration system by the DAO tokens:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DXEVEfk4x1qN6QgIcb2PjZwU...

In short: The arbitrator will have to lockup a high amount of BSQ (DAO tokens)and in case he would default that deposit can get confiscated by voting.
He also is limited to do not more than 20 cases.
Them using the tech privately is seen as an indication of support (or at least interest) in the platform. So the public coin benefits from exposure and validation of its tech.
Well, you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a doctor's office (when the door is closed), so even in single-party recording states this would be illegal. Also, HIPPA wouldn't allow this, so the doctor's office would be fined pretty heavily for every patient recorded.

vimwiki + Taskwarrior. Taskwarrior is absolutely amazing. You can add tasks, assign them to projects, tag them, assign priorities, create recurring tasks, set deadlines, set since when task should be visible on tasks list (e.g. I have recurring daily task that I set deadline for 19:00 but I don't want to see it during the day as it clutters up my tasks lists so I have it set to wait untill 18:30 and only after that appear on my tasks list), make tasks depend on other tasks and so much more. My absolutely favorite thing about taskwarrior: reports. There is a lot of different reports that you can filter via projects, via tags, etc. You can see monthly reports, daily reports, yearly reports.

And all of that (current and completed tasks) is saved in a file format that is really similar to json.

Oh yeah and it's free and opensource: https://taskwarrior.org
The hard fork will likely have enough hash rate and industry support that it will go smoothly.
Some fair points, but strict typing doesn't mean the codebase is bullet-proof. I've seen upgrades take months on both PHP and Java projects due to poorly maintained and poorly tested code. It's the operators not the tool that have the biggest impact on maintainability regardless of the language.

The important thing to remember is that the 3D printing doesn't generate the final part, the plastic binder in the filament has to be burned out and then the part has to "densify", e.g. the actual sintering where the metal particles fuse together creates the final material properties of the part.

The final part will be a lot smaller than the thing coming out of the 3D printer, controlling uniform shrinkage is probably a lot of the secret sauce.

What text rendering approach does Terminal.app use, then? Is it also some custom thing? Maybe it does its own font caching - given that the terminal uses fixed-size fonts with simple fonts (fixed-width, no kerning, ligatures, etc.), it seems quite believable that they would avoid the overhead of CoreText (which has to handle a LOT more font complexity).

With regards to the shell prompt, I'm almost positive that Terminal.app is using some heuristic to read the prompt after a <return>. A little experiment with a tunable spinloop and a fake prompt in C suggests that Terminal.app waits for about 1ms after a return character before updating the screen: a delay of 950us produces an "instant" prompt, while a delay of 1050us shows the cursor at the start of the next line. As the article notes, a 1ms delay is not really noticeable, and that kind of delay only has to happen in a handful of situations.

> If I could draw a whole frame in a reasonable amount of time, this problem would be much easier! But I can't. Using Core Text, it can easily take over 150ms to draw a single frame for a 4k display on a 2015 macbook pro.

Holy cow! I wonder if iTerm2 would benefit from using something like pathfinder[1] for text rendering. I mean, web browsers are able to render huge quantities of (complex, non-ASCII, with weird fonts) text in much less than 150ms on OS X somehow; how do they manage it? Pathfinder is part of the answer for how Servo does it, apparently.

At the moment I (the founder) is the only arbitrator as the project has not implemented the fully decentralized arbitration system. We recently changed the concept how to get there with using a high security deposit in BSQ tokens (DAO tokens) which the arbitrator need to lock up. In case he would cheat he would risk that his deposit get confiscated by voting of the DAO stakeholders.
There will be also introduced mediators who don't have the 3rd key, and who are handling the big majority of cases (customer care, there have been basically no real disputes so far).

Looks like fused jet deposited powdered metal printing.

Strong but not nearly as strong as casting (especially without secondary processing), as for materials powdered metal printing is usually either ferrite alloys or nobel metals the former is much more common.

Resolution is in single digit microns or finer.

This is based on similar products not this specific one, it might be faster which is important but there is only that much you can improve on the process.

The speed also to me looks like a result of very limited market in terms of competitiveness.
Existing products are few and they rather sell you more machines than drastically improve the printing speed by making it much smaller and focusing on smaller parts.

I don't know if they use induction or optical fusing based on the size I would go for optical so they might have found a good laser or a absorption facilitating epoxy/flux to go with the powder.

Edit: based on a comment here it looks like they don't do fusing as part of the print.

In this case its metal powder with a chemical binder (glue) which usually contains flux and vaporizes at a fairly low temperature.

After the printing the parts go into an oven (usually encased in sand for temperature control)

The oven brings the part to a high enough temperature for the crystal formation but not close to the melting point.

In this process larger crystals can form but not nearly as large as with cast forging.

Do you require your Lego structures to be fully connected? Seems like that limits the possibilities a bit, but it would mean you can safely pick them up and move them around, which is always fiddly in normal Zendo.
Does it actually has to go trough forging and tempering? They don't have a fusing element in the head?
Seems simple enough, just extend the expiration dates on the meds that don't turn toxic and that still work.

The issue here though is that it's not in the drug manufacturers interest to have super long dates. Putting labels that expire sooner means they can push higher volume.

This is more than a little self serving, but when I switched us over to intercooler.js it made a huge difference in our app.

The Extropians and Cypherpunks mailing lists had a fair bit of overlap in temperament with Mondo 2000 and with each other. They're also easier to search.

- Molecular manufacturing

- Increasing single-thread performance of desktop computers, with ever-growing clock speed

- Robotics outside of industrial facilities

- Therapeutic breakthroughs in medicine from genomics

- Encrypted and networked communications revolutionizing politics/society

You might object that most of these developments, dimly foreseen in the 1990s, are actually significant in this decade in some form. But you have to go back to the originals to appreciate just how quantitatively aggressive the predictions were. (10 GHz desktop CPUs by 2014. Followup in the same discussion: No, the clock speed will be twice that, and arrive before 2010!)

This article confronts PCIe with eth/IB multiple times.

I wonder, does the author know how network cards are attached to CPU? There is no magic, apparently. And on most desktops you can not even have a full size video card and a 10GE adapter working simultaneously at full speed. And this bottleneck is in CPU (its interfaces).
It's still very young, and I think there may be multiple dApps built with eth that will be used in real life in the next 5 years.

I do not believe that you have the requisite knowledge of pharmacology to talk intelligently on these topics so you should stop correcting people who do, especially when your other comments suggest that your knowledge is based entirely on recreational drug databases. Anyone who has spent time working in the pharmaceutical industry knows that "therapeutic index" and "therapeutic ratio" are used interchangeably and that I never said anything even remotely related to either of those until you brought it up out of nowhere.

The therapeutic index is the ratio of the therapeutic dose to the dose at which the drug starts becoming toxic in 50% of the sample. I repeat, for the third time, I was not talking about toxicity. We are discussing drug expiration dates and you will not experience toxicity from a drug that has been degraded over time to a dosage lower than the one you were prescribed, except in extremely rare circumstances. A drug's therapeutic index is entirely irrelevant to what I am talking about - I don't know how I can make that any more clear.
