According to my russian wife who studied both russian and english literature, the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation is by far the best. Not only does it provide a great introduction and footnotes, it also manages to capture the spirit of the original.

I found it a highly enjoyable book and, while I'm sure I missed many references, it gave me better understanding of what it must have been like living in the USSR in those times.
Does someone have that running and would share its current state? I tested ring at the beginning of this year and it was a disaster. Does it work now?
While your comment is a bit snarky, there is some truth to it in that if rust successfully evangelizes a technique, I'd expect the C++ world to bring it on board if there is room and I'm sure room can be found.

The one topic to consider is this - is there a world where a language's existing code base is so large and the community so diverse that even _you_ would hesitate to break things for them? And at the same time, doesn't it make sense for that community to keep marching forward?

Yes the language has baggage and the path forward isn't easy, but there are still paths ahead for C++.

My advice to the rust community. Model yourself after the C++ strategy of evolution. Do not repeat the mistakes of the Python 2->3 world or the perl 5->6 world or what appears to be happening to Go. Don't break the past.
It might have been fine if elm-format had chosen better defaults.

Go chose tabs over spaces which are configurable in your editor, so everyone wins. Elm has other awkward style choices, like 'comma-first', and excessive line-breaks in-and-around statements. If they had less obnoxious defaults, people might be less bothered about this issue.

And honestly, as a dev you work at a company for what, 3 months minimum. How hard is it to setup a .eslint file, vs. having to always write code in a style you don't enjoy.

Universal consistency of code format just isn't that important, consistency within a team or company is what matters, and you don't lose that by allowing configuration.

It's not an array of piezos (or at least, not a one-per-column array of transducers). It's a phased array which they use to rapidly scan the volume, iirc something like 32 emitters and a single receiver in a commercial unit.

I often wish for interactive, annotated, "hypertextual" versions of books -- technologically it should be trivial to build.

M&M is an obvious example; there are many (Tolstoy, Dumas, Conrad, Zola, Proust and, in more modern times, Patrick O'Brian) where historical, biographical and technical annotations would be hugely useful and fun. In the case of translations, concurrent access to the original would also be awesome.

One of the earliest web versions of this that impressed me was a "Web 1.0" hypertext version of T. S. Eliot's The Wasteland, which is a poem constructed almost entirely out of allusions, and which makes little sense without the necessary annotations.

Do any of the eBook formats support anything like this? Have anyone done this in a way that's accessible in any meaningful way on a Kindle?

Are you asking how to find a suitable place for giving talks, or how to organize one? If the latter, I'm also interested as I'm in the process of writing my first talk.

For the former, it's rather easy really - there are plenty of minor events where you can offer to give a talk. I'll be giving my first one at a hacking/FOSS event a couple of hours away from where I live, but there are also chances to participate in smaller local events as long as your talk fits the theme. It's no big deal - you make up your mind about the topic of your talk, contact the organizers giving an overview of said topic, and wait for confirmation.
Yeh it's hard - law restricting what they publish is absolutely not the way to go, but a bit more responsibility from editors would be good. It will never happen though, especially as some organisations are desperate for the extra eyeballs and the advertising $ they bring. Which makes it weird that the BBC wrote this ...
I've heard this anecdotally as well. I've also heard that companies are willing to pay big money to get you in from other tech hubs only to screw you down the line on bonuses. It's tough to justify a raise at an Atlanta tech company when you're the guy or girl who's already paid more than everyone else.

Also, people overestimate the effects of cheaper housing. Yes, cheaper housing is nice but one has to remember that lots of things cost the same no matter where you live. Food, transportation, travel, and education costs are mostly static across the country. It's important to factor that in and not get dazzled by the fancy house or condo you can suddenly afford.
What about hangs? I think you'd need a watchdog in order to have the process automated.
You remember only the end.

MS-NET, LAN Manager and MS/IBM joint effort with OS/2 LAN Server were all inferior to Netware. MS battled decades against Novell with inferior products and shady market practices eating their profits. Finally Novell was taken down and crumbled when networking became a core system component in PC operating systems.

Throwing money against to superior product from smaller competitor until you can eat their lunch is proven tactic.

If anything, I'd expect such a flag to hide behind MSRs (http://wiki.osdev.org/Model_Specific_Registers)

That's a mostly unused namespace of 2^32 64bit registers.
To hide things even better, it would also be possible to change behavior based on officially unrelated registers (eg. MSR $x only acts as IME-switch if the calling address also ends in $y and esi is $z)
For those in the dark who don't want to do the digging I just did, Ring is "some sort of Skype or Hangout," to

The interesting thing to me is that you highlight how priorities are different among different people/companies; to me, choice of indentation spacing is trivial. But to you and the sibling comment, it obviously is not. And that's the point: a developer should be respected to decide what is important for their work. In this case, we are talking about indentation flexibility. But this problem scales throughout on many other issues that I might find important but you do not. Most languages give developers more freedom, even if starting out with a consistent default that everyone can understand first.
Unlike so many communication platforms created in this day and age, Ring provides something more than reinventing the wheel and following the latest trends. It is peer-to-peer, which XMPP and Matrix aren't. This is a step forward.

Edit: As some comments note, I previously wrote decentralized while meaning peer-to-peer.

Ten Years Ago
Everything changed, except Hacker News!
My hypothesis: people are not trained as a young person to seek pleasure, they're genetically programmed to do so; many (most?) modern "foods" are engineered and designed to short-wire various naturally evolved systems by introducing artificial stimulus, thus creating closed feedback loops. The baseline is amended upwards with each iteration, and what was normal yesterday is under stimulating now.

> [...] Scientists call this phenomenon, “supernormal stimulus.” It is what happens when an exaggerated version of what appeals to evolutionary instincts can cause some one or some thing to engage in behavior counterproductive to its own survival (or the survival of its genes).

> C++ needs the full definition of a class, including its private members, before you can use its methods.

This is more a limitation of the ABI than the language (and even then, only comes up if you are using multiple inheritance or have private virtual functions). Objective-C had the same problem, and then they introduced the non-fragile ABI: no language change was needed, just a compile flag.

(I do realize that there is some awkwardness in C++ if you attempt to declare these things in that private-decoupling sense; but to me the reason this is most brutal is not hiding of state, where we have solutions already, but being able to add and remove members without having to recompile users.)
How is XMPP not decentralized? If you call XMPP centralized, then email is centralized as well.

They used good engineers and a major part of the spec was that speed matters and is the ultimate feature. So when they used the Monaco component the engineers behind it made sure to prioritize speed and efficiency (it didn't hurt that they could rely on microsofts years of dev tool experience)

Technically they didn't do anything insane, the real trick is to measure test and improve metrics they care about and not let it become slow.
> It might have been fine if elm-format had chosen better defaults.

Subjective. This is a time old discussion. Please read the linked issue.

> Universal consistency of code format just isn't that important, consistency within a team or company is what matters, and you don't lose that by allowing configuration.

When I come to an Elm project, I am able to read the code instantly. In fact, the majority (91%) of the Elm community who use elm-format enjoy it because of this. See here: https://www.brianthicks.com/post/2017/07/27/state-of-elm-201...

What you say might be true for you, but for people who are actually writing and using Elm, it does not apply.
Perhaps. It's like that old joke about perspective. The length of a minute depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on. :-)

From my standpoint, I'm _still_ trying to get my head around all the ramifications of what has arrived in C++-11 (and it's a lot!). And I still have '14 and '17 to plow through too. '20 will be here before I know it. So for me, there is so much to absorb.

To my eyes the C++ leadership has done a great job at setting up standards processes for regularly delivering new versions and the compiler community has done an amazing job at keeping up too.

I expect to see more movement in the world of standard libraries which is where C++ still feels like a desert compared to other languages.

But yes it definitely is not fast when compared to other newer language communities.
Intel acquisitions:

McAfee - Why?

Havok - Why?

Infineon Technologies - .............

Altera - Make Sense but not proving anything ( yet )

Mobileye - Make Sense but they needed to prove they can complete under Intel ( They were doing fine before being acquired )

SSD Contoller - For a specific range of uses ( QD1 )in DC, otherwise no longer competitive.

Baseband Modem, 7 years since acquiring Infineon, their modem is still fabbed on TSMC!

They could have worked with Apple on Fabbing their SoC, they had the past 3 - 4 years to decide and make the move. Now Apple is pretty much all the way with TSMC till 2019.

Indeed. I had the same issues of "No workey" for my machines as well. It locked up on viewing video status page on all platforms previously.

Im primarily curious if it supports terminating the same data to multiple endpoints. Facebook and other centralized chat servers do that. That functionality guarantees that regardless which machine is logged in, I can get my messages.

I know that recent TOR chat server doesnt. There's a GH issue open to "try to deal with it", with no comments.

I also know that Tox doesn't support the same key with multiple endpoints. That too defeats my purpose of having it on my phone and laptop: I then have to have a new "contact" per device, which easily balloons out of control.

The issue is that after awhile, a language should not be an individual person's gift to the world. It's a tool, after all. People and companies use and depend on it; users should be given greater freedoms or voices. It's not a piece of art to marvel at; it's something to be tugged on by many angles to create real work by people other than the language author.

In most languages, like C++, Javascript, Clojure, Elixir -- you find a single person who created the language, and then the real guts of how the industry actually uses it are the results of a large community; the original author usually isn't the sole source of best practices.
The theoretical "IQ" represents just a maximum of an individual's potential intelligence. We don't always operate at that level, as many factors - such as hunger, lack of sleep, and frustration - may subtly and temporarily reduce the quality of our cognitive output.
Did you expect it to turn up in 3 minutes, be clean and responsible and cost half of what it used to?

WebAssembly upcoming features meeting notes
It's not only "internal". There isn't really a functioning market for "middleware" in much of software, creative areas excluded. I don't really believe that managers, users or anyone else is primarily responsible. At the end of the day most developers aren't very good at security and they aren't necessarily willing to pay for it either.

I work for a scholarly publisher and I'd be very interested in hearing about what—aside from cost—would cause you to go to Sci-Hub for a paper?

I watched this video yesterday, and it seems to explain a lot about how Intel has been less focused on building better technology in the last 10-15 years:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osSMJRyxG0k

I'm not sure how balanced the viewpoint in the video is, but the author comes up with a lot of references.
Short answer: No, IQ has not been discredited as a measure of intelligence, but maybe there is more to the scope of intelligence than what it measures.

Long answer:

The g form of IQ is still valid. Based on context in which a test is taken, there may be some type 2 error (people scoring lower than actual IQ), but relatively little type 1 error (people scoring higher than actual IQ).

That said, many researchers have asked if g is the be all and end all of intelligence. Research suggests that g tends to focus on the analytic and verbal parts of our brains. Howard Gardner found through research on aphasia patients that there are areas of our brain that function largely outside of what g measures. Others have found that while IQ floors may exist for certain professions (e.g., 120 for lawyers), IQ is not always the strongest predictor for success -- things like EQ often have stronger predictive value.

Note that some of the derivative works of multiple intelligences, EQ, etc. are twisted interpretations of the original ideas, so be careful when reading the non-seminal works. Some people have co-opted the term "intelligence" in their derivative works in an effort to support a political agenda that may not necessarily be true to the original idea or even constructive.

Another potential issue is that ultrasound machines send out an impulse instead of a single frequency. So maybe the quartz crystal oscillators aren't good at producing a short high-bandwidth signal?

That being said, there's a type of radar system called "stepped frequency continuous wave" radar that uses a bunch of single frequency transmissions instead of an impulse transmission. The basic idea is that instead of using a high-bandwidth transceiver to send and receive the impulse, you can use a low-bandwidth transceiver to send and receive tones, and then hop this transceiver over the large bandwidth to get a high-resolution image (the tradeoff being that it takes longer to acquire an image). Since ultrasound is basically radar, I'd imagine this technique could be used for ultrasound too.
Unity gets bad rep the same way FL studio (in 00s) or any other accessible creative tools do. Because they're the most accessible tools for beginners, they attract beginners and they use it to develop a lot of beginner-level products with all the downsides; however, these tools are quite capable of achieving AAA results in professional help.

Unity has nothing to do with KSP being laggy. KSP is a very ambitious game written by a beginner team; without Unity it couldn't have been made at all.

From a purely functional, non-ethical standpoint, the problem here is that you can't select the smartest embryo from a pile. You can only select the embryo with the most genes identified as correlating with intelligence.

Even assuming that this works, when you do that, you immediately run into the same problem as every other eugenics program: you are reducing the diversity of the population to seek a local maximum. In the analogy for optimization problems of the cows in the field standing on hills and in valleys, you're having all the cows stand on a single hill. You improve the current fitness of the population, according to your metrics, at the cost of the future fitness - you'll never find higher hills to stand upon, and if the fitness function changes, your population will be less equipped to handle it.
