Still disappointed that Node has backed out of optimized tailcalls (edit: should have written proper tail calls here, since that's what the past 3 now specs have called for, ES5, ES6, and ES2017). I think it's the only part they haven't implemented.

I think a lot of the pushback I'm seeing against TCO comes from traditional programmers who don't like functional programming and who think that recursion shouldn't play any role in production software. I get that there are also some who have legitimate implementation concerns, but the reflexive pushback TCO gets from a lot of the V8 maintainers compared to any other new ES6 feature seems telling to me (correct me if I'm wrong here).

What they don't understand is that JavaScript programmers are rapidly moving toward functional programming. Already, there's a heavy functional influence on the React community, probably the dominant frontend framework/library at the moment. Clojurescript and Elm have had an outsize influence on the JavaScript community, and I see more and more programmers using functional paradigms in their everyday code (particularly maps, filters, and reductions). I know we'd see much more recursion if it were technically feasible.

Edit: Absolutely right, my critics. I brain farted on this one. It's not Node, it's V8. I did refer to this in the second paragraph, but stupidly blamed Node for it in the first paragraph.

Edit 2: As I said, I shouldn't have singled out Node, particularly since it's V8 that's making this call. But my criticism was more directed toward most of the JavaScript implementers who seemed to have single-handedly decided that the es6 spec was all cool except for the one part they don't like. And I could accept the criticism that implicit tailcalls are problematic, except they seem opposed to labeled tailcalls as well. I think there are lots of implementers who simply don't believe that recursion has a place in "real" software. I've not heard these exact words from an implementers before, but I've known quite a few senior developers of my generation (40s) who have said this exact thing to me (they also can't seem to get the difference between structural and generative recursion).
I went for an interview at a company that did one of these tests (company wrote them) many years ago. Was utter waste of time as they do not cater for people with aspergers and as such they try and pigeonhole you into somebody who is proactive or reactive. This ignores somebody who is capable of excelling at both and even though outlined instances in which I had been both they seemed to not grasp this and ended up going in circles for 5 whole hours. Utter waste of my time, for some types of people and they lost out.
the articles content is more just background about watson than having to do with the the title.

as a side note: it just sounds wrong to have the words "hating on" in an article title.
No, per the included graph, brute forcing Office 2016 allowed them fewer guesses per second. Whatever its hashing algorithm, it's stronger than that being used by the password managers.
> I mean, come on, this is a pretty obvious point - and I'm starting to believe that it takes intent to misread it like you did.

I...don't think I did misread it? I said "he cannot mean this", and you appear to agree with me: due to the facts on the ground, he cannot have intended to mean that. Therefore, I have to assume he did not mean that.

So if he believes that Google employs discriminatory hiring practices, then he presumably believes that some of his colleagues are not the best possible choice for their role, and do not deserve to be there. That seems like a straightforward reading of his text. Am I wrong?
It just reeks of "nasty little schoolboy". You could almost wish the author will learn better when they eventually grow up, except of course we know they haven't.
That's a separate issue. Why would you want to allow voting without any ID?
It seems to be supported by the results at the Olympics and many other sporting events that can be viewed publicly.

And I think that's probably what the OP meant by "better at running". The vast majority of people can run to some extent, so the assumption is that someone is "better" at it usually means "faster". And the obvious place to look for evidence of that would be in sporting competitions, rather than trying to look up metrics that you have described. Obviously its a simplification, but if you don't do that then life would be far to complicated and detailed to navigate.
No; if a password manager wasn't individually salting the hashes, I'm pretty sure it'd be front page news on technical sites.
How often do you need to look at these web pages? The vast majority of the time these things get installed from package managers.
Cheapest 32 core Epyc is ~USD3200, with 2GHz base clock. I'd much rather have 2 x Threadripper for USD2K with base clock of 3.4. I don't think there are any Epyc features that are relevant for compute loads - like the security stuff or guaranteed x years of support.

Either way it'll be an upgrade from my 4 core Xeon :)

I feel like there have been unrealistic expectations of Vega compared to the expectations of how Ryzen was going to perform. Most people expected Ryzen to do ok but still loose to Intel by a 2 generation gap and here we are at what 5-10% behind Skylake/Kaby lake refreshes. With Vega everyone wants it to beat the gtx 1080ti but at best we might get something in between a 1080 and 1080ti for less money which isn't a fail in my views. The waiting however has sucked and has forced a lot of people to go team green who otherwise wouldn't of had too.

I don't have the exact data of births by race but I suppose we can make a reasonable extrapolation out of this: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/08/03/u-s-hispanic...

If the most prolific group (Asians) has a growth of 2.9%, then the possibility of one group, even if minor to have had a growth of 1000%+ (0.2% to 2.5%) is virtually impossible.

I think this proves my point that Native Americans (including Native Hawaiians and other peoples) are vastly overrepresented at Harvard.

Not when JS is fast enough, and if you want standards-compliant web games (like webgl), it's your only option.

There's a big number of startups that used Node for their back-end, if it becomes faster without them having to rewrite their codebase, that's a win too.

The inline documentation works for a number of languages. C++ for example shows inline info from cppreference. Javascript shows inline results from MDN ecc.

Moreover, you can type in things like "git cheatsheet" or "tmux cheatsheet" and it will show you inline a whole lot of basic commands with short descriptions that you can just keep there and reference.

I was a bit disappointed about how npm5's new feature to install from a local cache works. You must initially populate the cache from a registry (npmjs.com or whatever) because it caches by HTTP ETags (as I understood by experimenting); merely installing from local .tgz files results in an empty cache. But the reason I wanted the ability to install from a prepopulated cache in the first place was that I had to work at a customer behind corporate firewalls and a private registry (Artifactory), where each and every external package package has to be vetted individually for license and security issues. Which kind of defeats the purpose given the excessive transitive package dependencies in npm-land (300+ packages for a basic webpack/babel/react setup, 500+ packages for building Bootstrap from source; and these figures are still comparatively low).

In exchange, you get a new cache directory layout with directories named after autogenerated hashes, and "npm cache list" isn't supported yet :(

But I'm not complaining; npm has certainly made progress, though it's still relatively slow.

And.. do not forget it shows inline cheat sheets for programming languages [1].

However, it is way behind Google in localized searches. Unlike you, I am not satisfied with its results for finding places in my location, but this can be also related to localization.

Other problems I have experienced are with ambiguous search phrases and or with special formattings. Google is smarter on understanding the context of the search, but unfortunately I cannot give you an example now.

It has a lot more site-specific tools available (e.g. with ebay filter by location, category, price, ...), so for me clearly "yes". Searching through ebay.com with Google might be useful in edge cases (e.g. to benefit from Google maybe having better fuzzy search), but is very different from using the actual UI.

It's even clearer with things like wolfram alpha, which aren't indexable but respond to a specific query.
Yeah, that's my point. I'm not hating on JS or dynamic languages but to me it seems a stupid decision to go with that kind of language if you really need performance.

> He didn't say it the fault of feminists, only that this was probably going to be the result.

So what we all should do is forgive these men their outrageously outdated and somewhat dehumanizing viewpoints and calmly explain to them that currently they are benefitting from a system called patriarchy that has normalized male dominance. We should then calmly suggest that btw, people who are not visually and immediately white suffer a lot under this system too. And I know he benefits but could he please stop?

These folks already hold radical views. He wasn't "radicalized" by being forced to own it. He isn't forced to "vote Trump" because his views are known. He already had them, and they're for the most part outdated, impropable or insulting already.

Why then is the right decision to give him a pass on violating corporate HR policy?

Nobody knows how to hire. It's more luck and guessing than we want to admit. Temporary trials are the way forward. The problems are that employees and employers need to be secure enough to risk a trial, and compensation would need to change.
Let me present a walmart associate opinion on the person that was fired.

Tldr - sometimes really smart people do the dumbest things. Where was his common sense?

For the average associate i know the overarching Question would be did he not know he could be fired?

"I would have loved to go to college. I couldn't afford it. Id love to have a job at Google. He probably makes over one hundred thousand dollars. All those years spent in college to get a good job and to then lose it. Didn't he think saying something bad about your employer can get you fired? I cant go on Facebook and write sh#! about walmart and not expect to get fired or at least reprimanded. I just dont understand how people who are supposed to be so smart can be so dumb."

It isn't legal but USA has an interesting (as in the curse "may you live in interesting times") legal system where this is rampant and no one will ever be punished for it.

Companies use it to hide criticism (VW with emission, game developers with reviews, etc.) and YouTube is full of whining on their idiotic quasi-DMCA process where companies can claim and then take down or monetize content they don't own (Kevin MacLeod's royalty free music, public domain music, static noise, game reviews that conain gameplay and are negative, etc.) and you have to dispute it and provide your real life details to Google as if they are a court to make it go away.
Yes. This is all handled via udev, udisks & co., XFCE, Gnome and KDE have nothing to do with it (other than having it work more or less out of the box).

Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1920X Review: Unleashing the Multi-Threaded Beast
Do the last two bullet points of his tl;dr count?:

* Differences in distributions of traits between men and women may in part explain why we don’t have 50% representation of women in tech and leadership.

* Discrimination to reach equal representation is [...] bad for business.

Which I read as, "woman aren't as good, that's why they don't already work here, if we hire more of them, they'll not be able to do the job as well as men so the business will suffer"

Is that an unreasonable reading?
Most PCIE NVME SSDs use 4 lanes right now. So theoretically CPUs could support (total PCIE lanes / 4). It usually boils down to motherboard configuration or add-on card support for how many you can practically get in a system though.

I know someone who is intimately involved with IBM Watson, they are highly educated and constantly diss the system. Calling it, 'Just a large database'. If Watson was a true breakthrough, it should be gaining marketshare throughout it's specialities but it's not. Google is leading the industry with DeepMind; Facebook and Microsoft aren't far behind. I'd encourage others to be very skeptical of the PR that IBM is pushing about their Watson problem.

I personally avoid regexes where possible, including in this situation. IMO the right way to validate a URL is to feed it to a URL parser and see if it errors out. I can see errors in this regex right away - and in many other regexes you find from Googling. People just drop them into their codebase and their eyes glaze over when you ask them whether or not it's actually correct. How many websites fail on user+whatever@gmail.com because they copied a bad regex?

EDIT: Original Sin/(Privilege, Unconscious Bias)

They even follow the same behavior pattern. First they declare you a Sinner. If you've done research they question the motive of your research and claim it is invalid, regardless of its content. Like the Church burning those who tried to prove the Earth wasn't flat or the center of the solar system, when presented with evidence the extreme left says, "Heresy!"

Then they want to be protected from the sinners. The sinners make them feel unsafe. They have to be taken care of.
