And yes, I think that's the right idea. Start out with children's material and progressively move up to more complicated material as you become comfortable. Without subs is the best idea too. Honestly, what I've found, the more and more I understand Spanish, the less and less subtitles make sense... in the sense that they don't capture the full meaning anyways.

I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, but it's funny to go to a bank or ride a bus that has everything in English/Spanish and compare the two. Often, they're saying relatively different things, meant to convey the same meaning. It always feels like I'm sharing in a little secret understanding, haha.

I hope one day to reach a native/fluent understanding of Spanish.

Feel free to e-mail me as you progress. I'd enjoy following along with your journey!

But then again, Julia is a relatively new language that aims for high performance in scientific computing while using type inference. Helps to have multiple dispatch that tells you how many definitions there are for a function.

50,000 MetArt-style nudes. No banners, no ads, no hassles, no distractions. Smart image zoom to fit the woman to the screen.

See random pics (WANDER). When you like one, see the photoshoot on repeat (TRANCE).

To search for something-- e.g., grass, beach, face-- long press the image (DREAM). This finds nearest neighbors in deep feature space, but only works reliably for simple concepts because it's fully unsupervised. The features you selected by long pressing (inside the box that appears) are more likely, but only very simple searches are "pure".

For example, long press a close-up face to see more faces... find one you like, then press TRANCE to see the rest of her. Long press sand and water to see more girls on the beach. Long press forest greenery to see more girls in the forest. And so on.

If this is not familiar to you, take a look at: http://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/cnnembed/ Consider one of the big "maps" on that webpage. Notice how the tiny image patches clustered together in a map tend to be similar to each other. When you long press the image in Melondream, a box appears. That box is like one of the tiny image patches. Melondream's DREAM shows you images having patches near the patch you selected, in Melondream's map. Also notice how impure even a supervised dream would be.

Putting the logic into a more flexible configure script that generates definitions for your Makefile and imitates the autotools build process without actually using autotools is a good/obvious compromise. Even some large projects like FFmpeg and mplayer/mpv do this.
I wish there were such an engine, and it was 100% accurate.

This is an Android app. You may ask whether it's safe. Our reply:

1. We wrote it and we're telling you it's clean.

2. Two independent security teams, one at The Register and and one at Wired, vetted the APK before publishing. In their opinion, it's clean and safe.

3. It requires no Android system permissions. It runs in the Android sandbox, with Android's maximum security. If you don't understand what this means, please see: https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/index.htm....

4. Melondream has thousands of regular users, and has been installed on tens of thousands of Android devices. No one complains and no one has problems.

I disagree - the technology is extremely hard. You're talking centuries of staff-hours to make your OS, if you want it to be a robust general-purpose OS and not a toy. Just the bit where you say you want the computer to scan what's in your hands and identify it? That in itself is extraordinarily difficult. You mischaracterise the task at hand by pretending it's simple.

I like the idea behind this article, but this isn't the way to do it. It hides the simplicity of the blockchain concept behind arcane syntax and overly complicated higher-order typing constructs.

newtype BlockF a = Block (V.Vector a) deriving (Eq, Show, Foldable, Traversable, Functor, Monoid)
type Block = BlockF Transaction

type Blockchain = Cofree MerkleF Block

Does anyone really think this is how one should write software? I think that constructions like Cofree are interesting, but I don't think they're programming.

I would sympathize with them on this issue. This is actually the second time this week I have been called a Nazi sympathizer essentially for believing everyone, including Nazis, should be able to air their views in such a way that interested people can hear them. (i.e., they don't have the right to spam everyone, but they shouldn't be blacklisted from businesses otherwise open to everyone just because of the content of their speech).

Being unironically called a "Nazi sympathizer" is by far the most chilling thing to me that has happened of all the political events that have occurred in the last few years. It is also sad that I have to add a disclaimer that I have voted Democrat in the last decade of elections, am not a bigot, etc, etc, (not that someone using this sort of language would believe me).

Do people who say these sorts of things not realize the massive irony of accusing people who defend basic rights of a generally detested group of being "Nazi sympathizers"?

You are right - it is standardized thing, thought right now Opera,Safari and Chrome supports v1 (basicly everything webkit/blink based) out-of-the-box, Firefox has that behind flag and not ready, Edge is implementing it.
You can use the polyfills for the older browsers for now, not everything can be polyfilled perfectly though.

Web components are a bit low-level, so you have libraries and frameworks like Polymer, X-Tag, Svelte, SkateJS building on top of the standard to make the development fun and friendly.

It depends on the reader's amount of "vocabulary". Why write more complicated code if it is just Cofree? DRY.

Arguably, this might happen in the long run. They might slowly lose dev over the years if they neglect documentation, which will eventually hurt the app ecosystem. Eventually, that'd affect user.

Idris and Rust are ML descendants and C helps you to learn the basics of low-level programming. Lisp on the other hand won't teach you anything. How hard is this to understand?

1. It's not about who used that notation but who invented it - not McCarthy; 2. that notation is practically useless for programming languages but they're good for ASTs.
I mean, this is the perfect example of why not to join your project. You're here because we're talking about you. You made this offer because this is a subthread about displacing you, specifically. I don't trust people who are so opportunistic, and there are many reasons not to let you get control over a network that may be with us for the next hundred years.

How about you go work on your project run by former spooks, and I'll start my own, and we'll see who comes out on top? You're also the beficiary of investors. Ask yourself: why are they investing in you? Your stated goal is to never turn a profit, ever. You've also foregone any ICO attempt, which is free money. Why? Because you can't, because if people start using your project with your new Tor support, you'll be a co-conspirator in a drug distribution network.

But you don't just come out and say this. You're not straightforward. It's fake idealism, and that quality more than any other is what motivates me to compete here.

The fact that you're worried is even more evidence that we were onto something. Maybe others will join me, if I show convincing progress.

Or maybe not, and you'll be the eBay of the future. Considering your founders' ties, that's pretty unsettling. So why don't you join me instead?

This is a standing invitation to all readers: email me. Let's figure out how to organize this and make it work.
In this case it is the truth. The price of Bitcoin Cash is going up and the difficulty to mine had been going down. So for now, it is more profitable. It will likely go back in forth for a while before there's a dominate winner.

The headline is incorrect, the graph shows the RELATIVE hashrate of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.

The absolute hashrate of the Bitcoin network is still increasing [0].

All this chart demonstrates is that the hashrate of Bitcoin Cash is increasing faster than the hashrate of Bitcoin.

This also means that NEW hashing power is coming online, not that hashing power is necessarily switching from Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash (even if it's currently more profitable to mine Bitcoin Cash than Bitcoin [1]).

Did scons finally get a little less opinionated?

It used to be that scons really forced you to use subsidiary SConscript child files for anything more complicated than a couple files in a single directory instead of being able to lump it all into a single SConstruct.
that doesn't agree at all with what i've seen of this situation unfolding.

i think:

bch was created by people who want to use adjustable block size caps to scale transaction volume, and this favours established miners and consolidates their influence.

segwit was created by people who want to try a second layer for transactions (specifically the lightning network), and some miners are opposed to this direction because they would not collect fees on layer-2 transactions.
The embrace of UBI seems entirely too eager for many. It's as if the huge, unpredictable and ambitious nature of it isn't fully felt.

> Microsoft has an implementation of make called Nmake, which comes with Visual Studio. It’s nearly a POSIX-compatible make, but necessarily breaks [...] Windows also lacks a Bourne shell and the standard unix tools, so all of the commands will necessarily be different.

What I've been mulling over is an implementation of make that accepts only a restricted subset of the make syntax, eliding the extensions found in either BSD and GNU make, and disallowing use of non-standard extensions to the commands themselves (and maybe even further restricted still). In theory, a make that does this wouldn't even need to depend on a POSIX environment—it could treat the recipes not as commands but instead as a language. It wouldn't even take much to bootstrap this; you could use something like BusyBox as your interpreter. Call it `bake`.

Crucially, this is not another alternative to make: every bake script is a valid Makefile, which means it is make (albeit a restricted subset).

> I've met a few programmers in my career who were able to write a huge amount of code doing wonderful things without testing at all. One guy I think of would spend days coding without even trying to compile his code and apparently, except for minor typos he could quickly fix, his code was working when he decided to compile and test it.

A variation of this can be interesting to do as an exercise (in my case, a single-program exercise in school). Keep your problem simple, maybe data parsing or the like. Being in a really bad mood when you start can help.

Cowboy code. Compile. Test. At any failure, delete everything and start fresh.

By the time you code a first-time-working copy you'll probably have dropped a huge amount of unnecessary junk from your code, possibly changed approaches multiple times, and maybe found some patterns in your coding that you'd like to do away with. Nuking those code files can be surprisingly cathartic as well.

That's correct -- the difficulty to mine BCH will reset at block 479,808 (the last adjustment) + 2016 blocks (the number of blocks in between each difficulty adjustment).

The difficulty of mining BCH is currently expected to increase at the next difficulty adjustment, and thus profitability will go down.
