Oh no, I'm not implying that Java or C++ will ever die, they'll probably outlive me. I'm only saying that by bolting on new features Java will get progressively harder to program in by anyone who doesn't already program in Java.

This is good for Java programmers because it means big bucks for being the only devs that can maintain huge legacy systems, but bad because fewer people will write new code in Java.
Along with implicits, the lack of a central Scala repository was the biggest turn-off for me.
I have been wondering for a while now if there's a terse / "embed some essentially-C code" style asm.js tool. Being able to drop into an optimizer for math / large data purposes, without going full emscripten, seems like it could be extremely useful.

That said - have you tried using emscripten on a C version of your code? Any better / worse?

In general it's about story selection. 80% of the "stories of the day" are related to minority rights, empathy stories and a bunch of others. Rural white people are rarely mentioned except in the context of an environmental disaster. I like the stories myself but I definitely feel like the average conservative doesn't feel like they're included in any of the coverage.

This has to do with monomorphic versus polymorphic and megamorphic functions. Basically, the inline cache has finite capacity, and if every call of a given function takes objects of the same shape (they share a hidden class), then you don't need to worry about evicting your cache entries.

Once you start passing in objects of different shapes though, you're going to exceed the inline cache's capacity, and start losing out on the massive speedups the cache gains you.

A function that takes one inline cache entry is monomorphic, more than one is polymorphic, and more than the inline cache capacity is megamorphic. You want as many functions as possible to be monomorphic, polymorphic if you can't help it, and never megamorphic.

This post gets into a lot more detail: http://mrale.ph/blog/2015/01/11/whats-up-with-monomorphism.h...
Worth noting that this is valid advice for nearly everything with a JIT (and many languages with generics without a JIT, since doing so likely bloats your dispatch logic, whether it's dynamic or built at compile-time).
Tl;dr: from what I understand, they use a mathematical tool used in physics to measure the quality of some deep learning networks.
Exactly, they have appeal to people independent of technical skill; hence my hypothesis that they make sure to emphasize the things that are more likely to resonate with larger groups of people (like emoji) rather than things like Project Treble or a "native C/C++ API for high-performance audio", even if the former really have little to due with the OS itself.

If we're going down that route, it's also worth noting that "old people" such as GP referred to also can like emoji; my parents and grandparents enjoy using emoji.
I hope you can take a step back and realize how rude your comment is.

Genius isn't required, but I'd wager polymaths are geniuses at a higher rate than the general population.
Measuring and ranking systems like this always involves impossibly circular problems. Ability differs between populations. The best system will produce the best possible result for a population, not necessarily the best overall result.
Neovim doesn't come with a graphical interface, which this is. (Though it does come with an RPC interface for controlling it, which is how this works.)

What would be interesting is to look at the distribution of YC's capital over the companies it owns shares of. Is it mostly concentrated in the very big ones? Or is the number of less-than-100m companies large enough that they make up a decent part of YC's total assets.

Don't let the project treble eclipse the limitations imposed over background services,

Android seems to have taken iOS approach towards saving power,

"When an app goes into the background, it has a window of several minutes in which it is still allowed to create and use services"

Though iOS's background restrictions goes up to socket level (e.g VPN, which android O seems to have whitelisted entirely); this is going to be a huge impact over consumers and of course pain in the * for developers.

You are _completely_ missing the point of frontend applications, here's a few to get you started:

- Ease of creating complex user flows.

- Decentralization of application work: app runs on client, less CPU cycles for my server!

- Separation of concerns: API does one thing, client application does another, there is a bright red line between the two.
Why?

One could argue that the goal of a libertarian is to maximize individual liberty, and plausibly argue that the loss of liberty via taxation is both a faux loss (eg, actually a charge for externalities, not an "extra" cost imposed by others) and liberty maximizing (eg, freedom from concern of unemployment ruining your life is more freeing than the loss of freedom to not pay taxes).
There is a way to kill an app process, but it's in Setting and takes several clicks. I think it's for the best that killing isn't easier, because users don't generally know the implications of killing an app. In Square's Register app for example, force killing the process could prevent the app from uploading important payment data in a timely fashion.
the problem is the definition of make and create and what has value has changed.

10 thousand years ago people celebrated when a big kill was brought home from the hunt.

5000 years ago people celebrated the seasonal harvests.

100 years ago you put in a good days work at a factory turning a screw but you helped make a car.

today if it's not novel or unique it's not celebrated or valued.

I love LaTeX, but I've been really enjoying Markdown in Pandocs as an alternative (with equation support, of course). All of the problems with tables (which are really some of the worst things in LaTeX) are super simple and everything can be written in Markdown format for text/layout along with the usual LaTeX math commands and typesetting.

I've begun using it to write a lot of my notes, since TeXMacs has sadly been failing lately, and to be honest it's wonderful having human-readable text along with a document that compiles nicely to a PDF with all the bells and whistles.

It's a bit ambiguous as to how to read that. I'm going to assume that you mean that you're setting a non-zero prior probability, which is reasonable enough. However, that's currently multiplied by zero evidence as far as I've seen.

Otherwise confirmation bias will simply take over and lead us astray. I mean, it's not exactly falsifiable. I could just as well say that most of the people I disagree with are actually just Perl scripts, not real people.

If it's non-negotiable for you, you have a choice: Google phones or Apple phones. Everything else is out, unless you want to try your luck with stuff like LineageOS and hope that they support your device for whatever timeframe you consider reasonable.
So what you're saying is something like...

Say you have some true preferences:

Heaventy

Nirvana

Populonopolous

Shitsville

Say you decide to list Populonopolous higher than Nirvana, even though you would ultimately like Nirvana better. There isn't space at Heaventy, so you are initially assigned to Populonopolous. This won't help you get into Nirvana, because you can't trade downward on your preference list. But as long as someone else got assigned to Heaventy that would have preferred Populonopolous, you could trade with them.
I don't see the connection.

The law does not provide a list of subjects that you can or cannot discuss. The law assumes that you can understand the harassment law and make reasonable decisions regarding appropriate subjects and or statements. If it is necessary to make a list then it would be the responsibility of the employer to make the list and distribute it and hope that such list is all inclusive.

As far as where information is maintained, as I said, the Cod of Federal Regulation states the law for each of us to refer to. It can be found on the US EEOC website. In short, the following is the law:

Harassment
Harassment is a form of employment discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, (ADEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, (ADA).

Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. Harassment becomes unlawful where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. Anti-discrimination laws also prohibit harassment against individuals in retaliation for filing a discrimination charge, testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or lawsuit under these laws; or opposing employment practices that they reasonably believe discriminate against individuals, in violation of these laws.

Petty slights, annoyances, and isolated incidents (unless extremely serious) will not rise to the level of illegality. To be unlawful, the conduct must create a work environment that would be intimidating, hostile, or offensive to reasonable people.

Offensive conduct may include, but is not limited to, offensive jokes, slurs, epithets or name calling, physical assaults or threats, intimidation, ridicule or mockery, insults or put-downs, offensive objects or pictures, and interference with work performance. Harassment can occur in a variety of circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following:

The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, a supervisor in another area, an agent of the employer, a co-worker, or a non-employee.

The victim does not have to be the person harassed, but can be anyone affected by the offensive conduct.

Unlawful harassment may occur without economic injury to, or discharge of, the victim.

SEC Is Studying Spotify's Plan to Bypass IPO in NYSE Listing
This is an excellent question. If I were running the applications I might have done the same (ask gender but not race/ethnicity), because gender just feels more generally okay to ask. But if the purpose of asking is for nothing more than stats recording, then why not ask ethnicity as well?

I think it lies in that people fear being biased against for reporting their ethnicity, either via affirmative action (white/asian) or racism (everyone else).
As much as I like NPR, my politics have slowly drifted left over the years, and it's amazing how differently the same shows and hosts now sound to me through a more critical filter. To see what I mean, I recommend browsing through https://twitter.com/npr_watch (not my account, and I'm not affiliated in any way).
Dillon's database was called Backplane, and most of it was open source. I was always disappointed that he never (as far as I know) finished it, because it seemed very promising.

I refuted some of the networking claims in that article previously (I work for AWS). Especially the bizarre claims that you have to get a C4.4xlarge for 1gpbs... The 220 mpbs network cap claim is just not true. Just run iperf3 on any aws instance to a GCE instance and you can see greater than 220mpbs.
Using machine learning to improve patient care
The iPhone 5C with 8GB storage is still supported by Apple. Although not for much longer as it won't support iOS 11, and the OS takes up almost half the space on the phone.
Our firmware, encryption algorithms, app/web and deployments. I currently finished the firmware and deployments and working on the rest now. The firmware helped a lot as we cannot change that in the field so we need to agree on a non ambiguous way of communicating the specs for it.
At a government training, I once had a harassment trainer explain it very similarly. If you would not say it to your grandmother, mother, sister or daughter, do not say it. If you would not want someone saying, sharing explicit details or even joking about personal relations with your grandmother, mother, sister or daughter the same thing that you are saying about a coworker or even a stranger then do not say it. It is not appropriate. It is illegal and it will have a profound and negative impact on your career.
Why? For he simple reason that the more money funnels through the government, the less choice an individual has in how to use it. It’s about power, and in our world, money is power.
This incentivises people to put popular schools which they don't like lower on their list (3-5), so that if they miss their top school, they can get into a popular school and swap with people who are at their desired school. Which removes the property that honesty in school rankings is the best policy.
There's plenty of time for that to change -- there aren't that many electric cars yet.
On the list of problems, CO2 is actually not the biggest damaging aspect of coal, not by far.
IIRC, the law is phrased in terms of "compensation". For example:

> To be considered a volunteer, the work performed by the individual must meet the following criteria:

> * No expectation of compensation

...

> * Work at a for-profit entity is considered employment and must be for pay. The only exception is made for training programs where the trainee functions, to some degree, like an employee, but is under close supervision and provides no significant measurable work for the employer. The trainee must not take the place of a paid employee. For example, students who are considered student interns may engage in unpaid internships at for-profit organizations.

Redox (Rust OS) Release 0.3.1
VimR is a decent graphical vim alternative that uses neovim under the covers (macOS only i think)
Not smooth breathing and acute, but Unicode has two codepoints for acute accents (sort of). One is the modern Greek tonos, which often looks just like an acute accent but sometimes appears as a dot or straight vertical line, and the other codepoint is the ancient Greek oxia (the ancient term for the acute accent), which appears with all the other marks and their combinations (grave, circumflex, smooth/rough breathing, iota subscript).

Personally I type Greek using a vim keymap file, usually when writing LaTeX. I believe my keymap file is influenced by those older non-Unicode fonts, because I type w for ω and ;h for ή and >~h| for ᾖ. But my fellow students would mostly use Word. I don't know how they would type the letters, but commonly they would mix the tonos letters with everything else. I think what was happening is that Word would automatically substitute fonts that offered those codepoints, so it would end up showing Times for the letters with tonos and Palatino for the others (or something like that). Hence the ransom note effect.

For how long is the question. Historically, it’s been considered common knowledge (might just be an urban legend) that AWS, even if you pay for more traffic, at some point just throttles you, the same way that they do with IO.
I think people's natural tendency will be that if they can get away with 25% slack time now, they'll also take 25% slack time then, rather than halving their proportional slack time.

I felt that rxjava has similar philosophy behind.

Whether it is UI or interaction with an external API,

-- declaring relations

-- declaring transformation that must occur on the data flowing through those relations

-- instantiating by means of asynchronous observers

appears, at least in my view, have similar concepts as rxJava (or other non-java implementations)

Therefore, a question to others -- what are non-trivial differentiators between PLRelational and Rx<*> family of libraries?
Where do you take that from? To me, the new ones look way "cheaper", like ripped off WordArt.

Four-hour working day have many more benefits in modern days, if all companys become four-hour working day, it not just for work efficiency:

First it can give more equality to workers or say human self, let them spend more life time for themself, for family, rather than more work time for companys;

Second it can slow down the whole world entropy, something like in this book: Entropy: A New World View[1]

> Therefore, it's probably impossible to keep the heightened emotions out of debate without strict rules on content and participation.

History proves this, long before the advent of digital fora. Consider the elaborate, stilted parliamentary procedure and its variants. While it's quite burdensome, it's also considered a total necessity in many of the great deliberatory bodies that stand today.

Even with such a ceremonious structure, fist fights in national parliaments are by no means a thing of the past.

I think that this is because more than persuasion, humans are emotionally driven to create in-groups and out-groups, and only by divorcing emotion as much as possible can any real reasoning and discussion take place.

If there's one thing that profanity and vulgarity is actually good at, it's forming an in-group, which is antithetical to good discussion.
